Do I Need to Perform These Tasks?

If you are just upgrading your Autodesk Visual Effects and Finishing application, you have already performed

most of the procedures listed below during the original installation. You do not need to repeat these

procedures.

The only task you might need to perform when upgrading from a previous version is to transfer your projects

and clip libraries to the new version using the copyProjects script. See Upgrading Projects to the Current

Version on page 53.

Configuring Your Storage Filesystem as Media Storage

This section provides an overview of the steps involved in defining a standard UNIX

-compatible filesystem

to be used as media storage by your application.

You may set the application to use any standard UNIX/POSIX filesystem to store your media on any of the

following hardware, as long as it is not the system drive:

■ A direct-attached storage device (DAS), such as an Autodesk Stone Direct XR-series disk array

■ A storage area network (SAN)
