G-RACK 12 FCPX Essentials Guide
Overview
Videos use a tremendous amount of storage. Demand for for video is nearly insatiable. Digital video
is eroding TV video each year. This means that both videos for broadcast, while still dominate, is in a
competition for eyeballs.
The tool that Apple creates and promotes for editing videos on OS X is called Final Cut Pro X (FCPX).
Final Cut Pro X is the name given to a series of non-linear video editing software programs - first
developed by Macromedia Inc. and later Apple Inc. The most recent version, Final Cut Pro X 10.2,
runs on Intel-based Mac OS computers powered by OS X version 10.10 or later. The software allows
users to log and transfer video onto a hard drive (internal or external), where it can be edited,
processed, and output to a wide variety of formats. The fully rewritten and re-imagined Final Cut Pro
X was introduced by Apple in 2011, with the last version of the legacy Final Cut Pro being version
7.0.3. Since the early 2000s, Final Cut Pro has developed a large and expanding user base, mainly
video hobbyists and independent filmmakers.
Does G-RACK 12 support Final Cut Pro X?
G-RACK-12 Absolutely supports Final Cut Pro X. The performance and storage capacity of G- RACK-
12 along with proper security and multiple methods of access makes GRACK-12 the suitable
companion for all your FCPX workflows.
What do I need to know to get the server ready to work optimally with FCP?
FCPX likes to have its resources close.
What that means is that by default is it does not work well with data over some network connections
like AFP and SMB/CIFS. G-RACK 12 provides two methods of connection that do work well and
provides the speed needed to allow Macs to connect to the server in a manner that makes FCPX
happy and not slow down the video editing process.
Picking what works best for you.
There are two types of Workspaces you can create that work well with FCPX. Both NFS and iSCSI
connections are geared for video editing using FCPX. Each provide different connection processes
and and data transfer methods. By support both connection types you can choose the one that
works best for your configuration and that provides the most performance in your network
environment.
