So as long as all your source footage is stored in subfolders of your Comp folder,
Fusion finds that footage regardless of the actual hard drive or network share name.
You could, for example, copy an entire shot from the network to your local drive, set up
your Loaders and Savers to use the Comp variable, work all your magic locally (i.e., set
up your composition), and then copy just the composition back to the server and issue
a net-render. All render slaves automatically find the source footage.
Some examples:
Your composition is stored in:
X:\Project\Shot0815\Fusion\Shot0815.comp
Your source footage sits in:
X:\Project\Shot0815\Fusion\Greenscreen\0815Green_0000.dpx
The relative path in the Loader node would then be:
Comp:\Greenscreen\0815Green_0000.dpx
If your source footage is stored in:
X:\Project\Shot0815\Footage\Greenscreen\0815Green_0000.dpx
The relative path in the Loader node would then be:
Comp:\..\Footage\ Greenscreen\0815Green_0000.dpx
Observe how the two dots .. set the directory to go up one folder, much like CD .. in a
Command Shell window.
