3 To remove the SAN location and make it available to other computers on the network,
select the SAN location in the Event Library or the Project Library, and choose
File > Remove SAN Location.
The SAN location disappears from Event Library and the Project Library.
4 To access the SAN location on the other computer, follow the steps for adding a SAN
location in “Use SAN locations for Events and projects” on page 487.
Make sure to navigate to the same folder you used in step 1.
The SAN location appears as a storage location in the Event Library and the Project
Library on the second computer. You can now use this computer to edit any Events
and projects stored on this SAN location.
Use SAN locations for Events and projects
You can store your Events and projects on a storage area network (SAN). These
network storage locations give you more options for storing your media and
streamlining your workow over a high-speed local network.
Although you can access SAN locations from dierent computers on a network, only
one installed copy of Final Cut Pro can use a SAN location at a time. If you have Events
or projects stored on a SAN location, you must remove the location in Final Cut Pro to
make it available to other computers on the network.
The SAN location feature requires a SAN volume, such as an Xsan volume connected
using the Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP).
Add a SAN location
1 Choose File > Add SAN Location.
2 In the window that appears, navigate to a folder on a network-connected computer or
storage device.
The folder you selected appears as a storage location in the Event Library and the
Project Library.
SAN location
on your network
Use the SAN location as you would any other storage device that appears in the Event
Library and the Project Library. For example, you can create Events or projects on the
SAN location. You can also copy and move Events or projects to the SAN location.
