I'm trying to figure out the rules of media sharing between media composer systems when it comes to rendered effects. Like when, and why, are rendered effects sometimes online and sometimes not and have to be re-rendered.
So on the current show we have a bit of a strange setup. We have our primary location where we have 4 system connected to an ISIS system. When one of us renders effects in a sequence they are online for everyone at the primary location. We have a secondary location that has 3 systems connected to a Nexis. We have a separate system that it's singular purpose is to sync media between workspaces on the ISIS with workspaces on the Nexis. Each workspace is mirrored between the two locations. That includes the .mdb and .pmr files. So at the location with the Nexis they are not rebuilding media database files, they are using the ones that copy over from the ISIS. And likewise, the ISIS workspaces that are sync copies of the Nexis, we are using the database files from the Nexis. And between the two locations all the rendered effects are online.
Then we have a third location. It's a singular standalone system. It's using local storage. All the media form the ISIS and Nexis is being sync copied over to the local storage. And like we are with the ISIS <-> Nexis sync we are maintaining folders on the local storage that have copied mdb and pmr database files so they are not being rebuilt by the standalone system. And that's working great for any master clip media. Like imported files, transcoded media, mixdowns, etc. But when it comes to rendered effects they are all offline and have to be re-rendered, and I'm trying to figure out why.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jay
