and connect it to "PC b" via a network, and i map the network drive and i have all the same software installed on "PC b". would i be able to use "PC b" just to render projects in my editing software with all the source files and video on "PC a"? just want to make sure before i set it up to try it |

What editing software are you using?
I've got two PCs running Premiere Pro and it works perfectly. I edit on PC1 and then I can render on PC2 while I'm still editing. Here's my recipe: 1) All the PPro files and media files are stored on a RAID array on PC1 (called "D:" on PC1) 2) On PC2, I've mapped D: on PC1 to "D:" on PC2. i.e. D: on both machines means "the RAID array on PC1 with all my PPro and Media files on" 3) I also had to tell PPro on PC2 to use PC1's media-cache-database directory. I highly recommend using GigE if you're not already using GigE. Good luck, Jack |
