I have a general setup question from something that I have been assigned (and know ____ about).
-- A little background on the setup--
Doing a documentary and have a Red One? camera. The documentary is going to be about 30 minutes long. This will be playing on TV and will probably also be playing locally in the cinema.
Taking 4k video which will then be converted to whatever is necessary.
Using Final Cut Pro - latest version.
There will be 1-2 mac workstations that will need access to this footage for manipulation / etc.
We do have individuals here that are familiar with the FC software, but haven't had a need for anything in hardware robust enough to handle something of this size.
:headwall: The Problem :headwall:
I have no idea the work flow involved with taking the raw images -> completed render.
As an educated guess, I will need an Xserve with Compressor to do the rendering, with a SAN and the 1-2 mac workstations connected via Fiber. (3k Mbs).
Can anyone help me with a hardware list and/or a guide to getting the right setup and configuration for the task at hand?
I need to get some out-of-the-box type solution without ending with a steaming mess to sift through. I have been reading through a few things and can't find anything resembling a guild to a cookie cutter type solution for this.
Thanks,
Matt
