Hi,
I'm about to get a maxed out 27" Retina 5K display iMac along with FCPX and Motion 5. I'm shooting in both XAVC Long and 4K formats with a Sony PXW-X70. I also use a HD GoPro on occasion. My videos are anywhere from 10 minutes to 1 hour long. I will be using effects, music, plugins and some transitions. I do have some video editing experience coming from Sony Vegas Pro, but now I’m transitioning to the aforementioned. I need help in regards to proper hard drive setup. The following is what I believe I would need;
OS Hard Drive - iMac for all software
Editing Hard Drive - Pegasus2 R8 24TB (RAID 5) PROMISE Pegasus2 R8 24TB (8 by 3TB) Thunderbolt 2 RAID System - Apple (http://www.apple.com/shop/product/HE154VC/A/promise-pegasus2-r8-24tb-8-by-3tb-thunderbolt-2-raid-system)
Video Storage Hard Drive (raw video) - 4TB
Master Hard Drive (finished video) - 4TB
I need to know how to properly setup (aim) the hard drives within FCPX and Motion for a smooth workflow? If you have any other suggestions for hard drive setup and/or workflow, I would sincerely appreciate it. Thanks, Ray
