If the project assets are very small as in FCP7, MC or Premiere, it is recommended not to use centralized shared storage. While FocalPoint Server affords a lot of flexibility, one of the key considerations is whether to use a model involving centralized shared storage or not. This is currently only defined by an administrator. We can verify against Active Directory applications but in the current build of FocalPoint Server we have an inbuilt database with our own ability to define roles. Yes! Find the page on CatDV integration for an example of how this could work, or contact us to see how FocalPoint can work as a front end to CatDV. From this moment on, new Projects will always be started within FocalPoint Server. Please ask us for the best method for your company, as we can create a solution based on what you still use regularly. One is by renaming several files at a time en masse – according to a naming schema – then these files will be searchable within FocalPoint Server. This can be migrated into FocalPoint Server several ways. It will work on OS, Windows and Linux systems. FocalPoint Server simply follows the project throughout the workflow, letting you track it at every stage of the process. This way we avoid detailed logging, as the media is already associated with the project’s tags. We first of all create the structures for the media to go into, as opposed to starting with the media itself. Technical requirements for FocalPoint Server Workgroup Version (Max 15 Users)įor Linux VM installations of FocalPoint Server only: Linux package haveged So you can find a project in FocalPoint Server, and open it in any application you like, for example Premiere or Illustrator. FocalPoint also names the project files correctly and saves a dynamically linked version of it within its own database. An editor does not need to know which episode requires which format. So as you open an application, say Final Cut, in FocalPoint Server, it will launch the application with the project’s preset format, resolution, colouration etc. It does this by pushing out a pre-configured file that is appropriate to the desired workflow. FocalPoint will launch the application configuring it to “House Standards” for a particular workflow. What is a ‘workspace’ for FocalPoint Server?Ī workspace is an application, managed by FocalPoint Server. There are ways we can get around this but contact us for details. They embed the project files within their own SQL lite databases, and don’t let any third party software access their information. The only applications that don`t behave in this way are Resolve and Smoke. What applications does FocalPoint Server support?įocal Point Server will support all applications that save a Project file and a configuration or preference file.
