Enhancing Apple® Final Cut Pro® Workflows with EditStor Shared Storage

EdtistorOmni-550When considering networked digital storage options for your Final Cut Pro workflow, you might feel that there’s an abundance of options. But if you look deeper, you will understand that not all SAN storage and NAS storage system vendors are equal when it comes to FCPX® workflow capabilities and knowledge.

Whether you are still using Final Cut Pro 7 or looking to move to Final Cut Pro X, networked digital storage systems can make a significant difference in the productivity of your post production and finishing teams. Look no further than the Archion shared storage solutions for Apple’s Final Cut Pro. In fact, Archion EditStor solutions are so popular among Final Cut Pro editors that you can find Archion listed in the Final Cut Pro section of Apple’s website at https://www.apple.com/final-cut-pro/resources/ecosystem/.

EditStor Omni and EditStor Velo deliver Superior 4K Functionality, Scalability, and Flexibility for Apple Workflows.

Archion’s shared storage for FCPX takes Apple workflows, including 4K and 8K, to new heights. With such affordable and fast shared storage available to FCPX users, expensive and complex SAN storage is no longer needed. The EditStor Velo and EditStor Omni NAS storage servers are fully compatible with the new Final Cut Pro X “libraries” and “Projects” (Xsan) functionality. As such, EditStor makes it easy to exchange projects and share media in FCPX.

When using EditStor Velo and EditStor Omni with Archion’s APS Shareconnector, Final Cut Pro X professionals can edit projects on different machines without having to copy the project and media between machines. The volumes have the proper FCPX file and folder structure and your normal Apple FCPX workflow will be the same as local volumes and allow for media sharing.

In addition, Archion’s ultra fast shared storage solutions are capable of handling other post production and finishing tools including Adobe Premiere Pro CC® and After EFX®, Avid Media Composer® and ProTools®, Blackmagic Resolve®, Autodesk® and so much more.
