Hi,

Just wanted to check if it was possible to run FCSvr on a dedicated MacPro but the a NAS as the main storage area for proxies and thumbnails etc.

Thanks.

I think you can do that.
NAS can be a main storage for proxies, thumbnails and posters. FinalCut Server Client get proxy files from FinalCut Server and doesn't use for this edit-in-place technology.

FCSvr can run on a MacPro, yes.

Any drive FCSvr can see at all times can become a Device, yes.

Thanks.

Just basically want to get FCSrvr up and running as a searchable asset manager and don't really have the budget for a SAN just yet...

Thanks Ben.

Have already thumbed through our copy of 'Getting started with Final Cut Server'. THe one you mentioned seems to go into a lot more detail.

Will check it out.
