Either way.. adding a . or – or _ to after filename doesnt seem possible.

Yeah suppose though nuke handles these fine.
So.. How to have %L- actually work ? Because use filename doesn’t allow custom prefix/suffix :-/

Our first switch was a Netgear 8port 1gig €90. Never had an issue a restart nadda in 4 years.
Lifetime warranty also.
Buy a backup at this price point.

Got a Mac Pro 3.1 running Resolve in a room with a GT120 and a GTX285
gfx card popped in a vfx macpro so popped the GT120 in to keep em going to replacement comes.
Resolve is now running better. Where I used to get 23/24 fps with DPX am getting 25 properly now.
Single 285.
Ordered a GTX670 FTW which will go in 3,1 then the vfx guy can have the 285.

So let me get this straight.
You want 2 copies at all times when job is LIVE.
When done your going to copy onto 2 more externals for archives?First issue I see is if your job gets bigger than a single disk. How do you propose to split it?
Say it does fit fine.
Drive 1 – Master Drive
Drive 2 – Backup Drive (will become Archive Drive 1)
Drive 3 – Archive Drive (will be Archive Drive 2)Folder Structure at root of project 2 folders
/Setups
/MediaPlus another 2 externals in diff locations with all orig cam rushes.
Anything small like fcp ae nuke xmld shoot docs goes in setups (organise at will)
Any media goes in /Media ( organise at will )Install ChronoSync
Get a dropbox accountChronosync make 3 synchronisers save them and add to schedule.
1 Set a scheduled sync left to right from Drive 1 to Drive 2 every 1 hour for /Volumes/Drive_A/MyProject
2 Set a scheduled sync left to right from Drive 1 to Drive 2 every 15 mins for /Volumes/Drive_A/MyProject/Setups
3 Set a scheduled sync left to right from Drive 1 to Dropbox every 15min for /Volumes/Drive_A/MyProject/Setupsturn on archive changed items and sync deleted files.
Turn on Verify data in options
Set versions limit to however many you want. default is 5Where /Setups contains only project files like AE scripts and FCP Projects etc.
If you have a Pro dropbox change you no.3 sync to sync deletions but untick archived replaced files
Then set on right target – when deleting files delete immediately
This is because when you overwrite a file in dropbox it versions it anyway.One you have all media synced and your up an editing a sync will take seconds and it happens in the BG.
When your finished just take Drive 1+2 offsite and get 2 new drives for next project.
If Drive 1 is a Raiddrive B could just be a large single 4TB drive.
When done get Drive 3
Copy Sync No.1 and sync Drive 1 to 3 and take drive 2+3 offsite
Then you can remove the project from Drive 1 and start over.If you can have them all in at the same time you can run syncs to Drive 2 and 3 at same time (it’ll do them one after another when scheduled) so when your done both archive disks are ready to go.
Please remember though disks are backups not archives. Archive should be LTO tape.
I’d strongly suggest if your job is important to get something like at least a 4bay raid 5 Promise ( if you have thunderbolt) as Drive 1
Hope this helps.

May do. May not. Depends linke Bob says run a test but I’ve not had great success with 4444.
If you have a macpro my pref would be buy another internal 2>4TB. Lob it internally with sled.
When done wip it out and drop it in a pelicase and put somewhere safe.

Our old Decklink HD Extreme only supported 1080 50i out. Playing 25p material out to it and having whatever app set to 25p timeline was fine. ie Resolve.
Newer cards – plus our ultra studio 3D and the Mini thinderbolt out all have more output options now
inc 25p or 25psf.
