Edit in Place on test setup
Obviously, I'm doing something wrong?
My test system in my Macbook Pro. I have a folder at the root of my boot drive named STORAGE. I have set it up as a device, and in the Administration/Devices window, I have defined the URI as file://localhost/STORAGE. When I look at the Devices list in the Final Cut Server Preference Pane, next to the device STORAGE it says XSAN, so FC Server certainly thinks it is an edit in place device. However, when I check out a Final Cut Pro Project, I can see that server is moving all the associated clips from STORAGE to my cache. In the Show All Jobs window, I see 34 events where it says Downloading <name of file> from Device Storage to Device Export. So for some reason, I'm not able to actually edit in place.
What am I missing?
Oh, nevermind. I figured it out. I needed to have the Volumes/Macintosh HD in the URI even though it is technically the "root" drive.

I need to setup edit in place on our main array. I have plenty of bandwidth so that's not an issue.
how do you make your main library an edit in place device? I've tried adding file:///volumes/volumenamehere in the mac edit in place url field
what's wrong?I got it working. I will post this just in case it helps someone else.
this is the setup:
dedicated macpro running FCS with a locally attached SATA RAID called FCS_RAID
It is a server, both public, dhcp, and some other stuff not relevant. I am directly connected via 2 gigabit ethernet cables (trunked) and use a locally assigned IP e.g. 168.254.xxx.xxx
the volume is mounted and is accessible as file://localhost/Volumes/FCS_RAID/
I am wanted to use the Library (default created by FCS) as an edit in place device since that is where the media lives
to get EIP to work I copied the path from the "Local Directory" field. So basically file://localhost/whatever it says in the local directory field
What is not working properly now is the location in which the project thinks the files are located.
This is our simplified workflow:
P2 dumped to external drive during shoot
archived raw etc
footage is logged and transfered in FCP and media managed to a DROBO
from there is is uploaded to FCS and our main RAID.
If I were to check out the project I'm sure the file locations would be updated to the local cache but since I'm doing an edit in place I want to use the media on the RAID. But, when I "reveal in finder" I see that the media is linked to the DROBO instead of the RAID. Now the media is also located on the RAID in the standard "library" location.
Why didn't FCS update the FCP project to the new location of the media?
I can work around this by unmounting the DROBO and relinking the media to my RAID but I don't want to.
Thanks for your help guys. -
I've recently installed FCS at our small shop. I've read the Geller book, followed the Admin manual, and pretty much have gotten it to work.
However, I can't get "edit in place" to work. It did work when I initially installed the system and tested it. And now, after a complete re-install, it doesn't work.
I am using two local RAIDs. Each have a media directory that I set up as a device. For example:
One device is called "Mojo Project Media 02"
In the Device Pane (on the Admin / Client Java Interface) the Local Directory reads:
"/Volumes/RAID_02/Mojo Project Media 02"
So the Mac edit-in-place URI reads:
"file://localhost/Volumes/RAID_02/Mojo Project Media 02"
I can't get the edit in place URI to not ad "localhost" but I don't think this should matter.
Whenever I try to move media into a Browser Window from FCS, it tells me I must copy it to my local cache first. This didn't happen when I first installed/configured the system.
Can you not set up edit-in-place for a local directory (ie. a volume locally attached to the server with FCS installed)?
I know it worked before. Is there something I am missing?Thanks A. Richards.
After much testing, I realized that on the FCSr machine that it indeed had edit-in-place status because of the storage directly attached to it. BUT the other client computers did not.
So basically, since we don't have the $1000 a seat for XSAN and we are only cutting DV and DVCPRO HD...
We could configure our Mac Pro Server to be an AFP share over the network; it's plenty fast over Ethernet since it's aggregated over 6 gigabit ports to a switch and has PCIe RAID storage attached. We could give this edit-in-place status IF...
We used another machine (server class) to install FCSr on.
This would work right? -

at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:534)Hi Matt,
Thank you for your very useful reply.
I have non blocking serial approval workflow.
In my workflow I have attachment as PDF document to be signed. URI of that document is from Odrive. Foe example O:\sjrwmd\DMSFAContainer\DMSFALibrary\36397\P041282\978599\Invoice_with_2_blank_sig_OD_2.pdf
When task has been assign to any user, from task detail page of the worklist application user click / open that pdf file and sign the document. When user save this document Odrive should save that to Contentdb.
Just wanted to know that why it is not ODrive bug?
I was able to do following test It works only in Acrobat 6.0.
Steps I did,
1) Upload pdf file to folder with manual versioning enable.
2) Manually checked out file from web ui.
3) Login to ODrive using same user
4) Created html file with link (Please replace href portion to your url of the file)
<HTML>
<BODY>
Testing Link <BR>
<a class="blue" href="O:/sjrwmd/DMSFAContainer/DMSFALibrary/36397/P041282/978599/Invoice_102_wit
h_blank_sig_OD.pdf" target="_blank">Invoice_101CD.pdf</a> <BR>
<a class="blue" href="O:/sjrwmd/DMSFAContainer/DMSFALibrary/16966/P040577/246361/ST_Memo.doc"
target="_blank">ST_Memo.doc</a>
</BODY>
</HTML>
5) Open html in browser
6) Click on document link
7) Will open pdf files in browser
8) Sign the document
9) Click on save a copy button.
10) In the save a copy dialog , file name place paste your file url of o drive for example in my
case
O:/sjrwmd/DMSFAContainer/DMSFALibrary/36397/P041282/978599/Invoice_102_with_blank_sig_OD.pdf
click save
11) This should save updated file
12) Checked in document
I will look into programmatically way to achive this.

'Edit in Place' for XLSM-files (Excel Macro-Enabled)
Hi,
is it possible to activate 'Edit in Place' for xlsm-files (Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook file)?
For xls(x)-files there is the link 'Edit This File', but not for files of type 'xlsm' allthough they could be dealt the same way with Excel.
I know I can edit this files using the 'Add-in for MS Office' and via the 'Vibe Desktop', but it would be nice to deal them like other Excel-files.
thx

RTFM helps I admit:
Novell Vibe 3.3 Administration Guide > Site Setup > Setting Up Site-Wide Customizations > Configuring File Associations for Edit in Place Applications
Novell Doc: Novell Vibe 3.3 Administration Guide - Configuring File Associations for Edit in Place Applications
Append ".xlsm" for the variable edit.in.place.file.applet.extensions, edit.in.place.file.webdav.extensions
Hi Martin,
Yeah, the Vibe docs can help on occasion
Still, thanks for feeding it back to the forums as it can be quicker finding a hit in the forums than having to go through the docs!

Hi
Having built a very fast network to make use of 'Edit In Place' we are surprised to see that Edit in place does not appear to support versioning? i.e we want to drag out a project, work on it and then drag it back into FCserver, where a new version is created. Any thoughts?
There only seem to be hints in the manuals about using EIP, contradicted each time by the statement that 'Checking in and out' is the best way to use FCserver...
Thanks
DanThanks John - I think you made a vital link in my understanding!
I've been messing about this morning and all my problems (touch wood) seem to be resolved after your last comment.
You may remember replying to my thread a while back about metadata... Even that seems to be fixed now!
I think I should outline my workflow - it may help anyone reading!
Firstly, I have changed my compressor cluster to a custom one. I was having problems using 'this computer' cluster; freezing transcodes and i think it was screwing with my Log and Transfer metadata too. Anyway, it tells you how to change it to a custom cluster in the setup guide - takes two minutes. I recommend it, even if you only ever use the admin user to use FCServer like we do.
Ok, the workflow:
-Create a new (filesystem) device with an Edit In Place path using the java client app (not the server pref pane). call it XXX_JOB for example. remember to create a folder in your storage/raid/san first!
Local Directory:
/Volumes/Data/FCSvrDevices/XXXJOB
Macintosh edit-in-place:
file://localhost/Volumes/FCSvrDevices/XXXJOB
(nb: our server has a RAID called 'data', it's share is a mounted as a volume on the local machine called 'FCSvr_Devices')
-Create a production scan for the device - set it off - make sure it is setup to read the correct directory levels for its production name and metadata name. in my experience this takes some fiddling! the workflow example book regarding this setting features a few misprints too!
-In this order; open FCP on the local machine, set the capture scratch to the XXX_JOB device you just made (our devices are on a server volume mounted locally - v.important for EIP to work). Save the project with the exact name you want the production to be - XXX_JOB.fcp. Open log and transfer, add your metadata and set it off. when it is done save your project and close FCP.
Check locally in finder that as a result of changing your scratch you have something like:
FCSvrDevices/XXXJOB/capture scratch/XXXjob/mvixxx.mov
(Where FCSvr_Devices is your storage device/raid/san, XXX_JOB is the new device and mvi_xxx.mov is a file from L&T.)
-If all is well you should soon after have a new production folder called 'XXX_JOB' in FCServer. If you double click this you should see all the files you ingested using L&T. You may now upload your local FCP project to this production. If your Edit In Place has worked properly then you will not duplicate your original media. We do this because we don't want to have any extraneous copies or have to take any unnecessary steps in deleting them.
-When you check this project out you will get a pop up asking you if you want to use original or proxy media. since we are editing in place it doesn't matter. hit 'check out' and only the FCP project will come down. you can now edit away, adding more media as you go from any EIP enabled device - we've found it even works using finder (allowing the use of finder's cool spacebar preview that FCServer doesn't have!). When you check back in FCServer doesnt duplicate any media. you just get a nice new version of your project and no uploading or caching! you can view the assets used in the project by double clicking to 'enter' the project.
This seems to work perfectly now. If anyone has any thoughts as to if this is the best way of doing it i would be interested to know.
Thanks again John

Hi
I've a problem with the edit-in-place config. I have mapped the device with "afp://..." and put the path into the field "Macintosh edit-in-place URI":
file://localhost/Volumes/Data/FCS/...
The file path shouldn't be the problem in order of the finding items when I test it in Safari.
But I still need to cache the asset when I drag'n drop the file into a final cut project. And I don't get a grey dot in the list view in front of the asset.
Any ideas to fix the problem?
thanks!I am having similar symptoms using Lightroom 1.2 and CS2. I just updated to Lightroom 1.2 this week.
The first time I select edit in CS2 Photoshop launches fine and the image is transferred. If I attempt to edit a second image Lightroom hangs indefinitely on "Preparing the file for edit". Lightroom is dead at this point. Any attempted operation, including canceling the edit, just adds to the hanging stack. The only out I have found so far is to exit Lightroom, tell it to abandon all uncompleted tasks, and then restart it. At that point it will again work correctly to edit one image. It is the editing that causes the hanging, other functions performed after an edit do not (e.g. working in the develop module on a second image).
Lightroom 1.1 did not have this problem. The images I was working on were imported into Lightroom after I updated to 1.2. I am working under XP Pro and off of an internal (vs external) hard drive. -
Edit in place documents not working in beehive team collaboration w/IE
I know the Chrome,Firefox browsers don't have an edit-in-place, but IE is supposed to map the network drive via webdav and uses this as a back channel to save the changes on saving the document.
This was working very well on my old laptop using a 32 bit windows, and an older IE platform. probably 95% of the time.
Since my upgrade to Windows 7, 64-bit, IE 8.0.7601, it works about 20% of the time. Very unreliable. Does anyone know what can be done to get this to work more consistently?
Thanks.Thanks A. Richards.
After much testing, I realized that on the FCSr machine that it indeed had edit-in-place status because of the storage directly attached to it. BUT the other client computers did not.
So basically, since we don't have the $1000 a seat for XSAN and we are only cutting DV and DVCPRO HD...
We could configure our Mac Pro Server to be an AFP share over the network; it's plenty fast over Ethernet since it's aggregated over 6 gigabit ports to a switch and has PCIe RAID storage attached. We could give this edit-in-place status IF...
We used another machine (server class) to install FCSr on.
This would work right? -
Are there any guides or is there information available for setting up windows edit in place devices? I've found scattered information here and there and the setup and administration guide has only minimal information on the subject.
I still don't understand what all is needed in order to make edit in place work on a windows machines. I started SMB on our OS X server, i shared out both the proxies folder and the volume it's stored on, i mapped the proxies.bundle to the Z drive on the windows machine and setup a windows edit in place URI on the device. Still can't get edit in place to work.
Device is setup as such:
local directory: /Volumes/MacStore2
windows edit in place URI: file://localhost/Volumes/MacStore2/ -
Edit In Place but use Edit Proxies possible?
Hi all,
Trying to figure out if the above is possible.
Reason being Orig media is either uncompressed or prores 444 or Red.
Over Gig-E the Prores edit proxies are fine to be edit in place so no need to cache every time.
Is this possible?
Cheers

Message was edited by: simonblackledgeYes. You'll want to reshare the edit proxy device read only, via AFP or NFS.
There are caveats - editing over ethernet cannot guarantee bandwidth and latency in the same way as fibre or direct of disk, so there might be occasional dropped frames. But for the purposes of editing with the proxies, this is not so much of a big deal - you'll be conforming with the hi-res media at a later point.
Depending on how many clients and streams per client would be using this, you'd need to have a think about the backend infrastructure. I've got a setup where I have the edit proxies device on an XSan and a dedicated XServe resharing the device as AFP (read only). That keeps the AFP I/O off the final cut server machine.
You can also do things like get a 4 port ethernet card and bond the network interfaces to give you more bandwidth from the xserve to the switch. -
Hi,
I'm triying to setup a device to use it as edit in place.
I've 3 MBP, one of them is the server with ESATA hard disk share.
I access to the hard disk via network. this hard disk is setup for proxies etc ...
I just want to manage project version in FCS, but everytime media used in the timeline are duplicate (in FCS folder).
So medias are already on this hard disk, so no need to be duplicate on the same media.
How to configure ????
thanksIn order to make a non-Xsan device edit-in-place, you'll need to modify the device in the Administration window of the client software.
Review the section titled "About Edit-in-Place Devices" here for details:

Acrobat does not load "Edit\Preferences\Color Management\Color Setup" properly.
When you convert a CMYK document with DeviceCMYK color space to profile, Acrobat X/XI Pro does not take the Working Space selected in "Edit\Preferences\Color Management\Color Setup" as the source space of DeviceCMYK object properly. But, after you change the "Settings" to any other setting (Like Jappan General Purpose 2) and confirm, and then change back to your wanted setting, thus, Acrobat will take the Working Space to convert color correctly. I tryed this many times, it reapears every time. It looks like that Acrobat does not load the "Color Setup" properly. Is there any one knows the reason of the problem? Is this a bug of Acrobat?
Could this only be a problem with clean installs of CS3?

HOW TO: EDIT IN PLACE ON WINDOWS CLIENT
Hi everybody,
I work in TIBA (broadcaster company), we use FCS so much and I have a problem, actually i have running edit in place on XSAN for MAC clients, but i cant work of the same way on windows.
We have XSAN and fiber channels working.
I configure the device but it doesn´t work.
Somebody, help me please. My email is [email protected]
Kind regards
EmilianoHi,
No iam not using stornext for the windows clients.
The mac and windows clients running on ethernet. The the mac clients have mapped the xsan volumes using AFP or SMB protocol and the edit in place works ok.
The windows clients have mapped the xsan volumes through SMB but the edit un place doesnt work, the files are cached and doesn´t run as edit in place.
Note: sorry by my english.
kind regard.
Emiliano
Are you using StorNext FX to add the Windows clients to your Xsan? If so, then all you have to do is add the Windows Edit-in-place URI to each EIP device in the Devices section of the Java client Admin GUI (not the System Preferences pane). Once you've done that, EIP will work for the Windows clients as well. Here are the instructions for entering the correct URI syntax.
If you are not using StorNext FX for your Windows clients, please give us more detail on how your system is set up. -
Assets are "Edit In Place" yet dragging to Final Cut Pro requests caching
This is an odd one. I have a large number of assets on our device that I can successfully drag from Final Cut Server directly to Final Cut Pro without issue. However I have what appears to be thousands of assets on the exact same device that I can not drag without the dialog box "You must add this asset to the cache before you can use it in a Final Cut Studio project."
This is very weird. If I right click on the asset in Final Cut Studio and select to view the Original Media I get the warning "The asset is an edit-in-place asset. Any changes..." so obviously it knows it is an edit in place asset, so why are they giving me grief when dragging to Final Cut Pro?
Specs: Final Cut Server 1.1, Final Cut Pro 6.0.4
Thanks!Sorry that I keep replying to myself, but the bazaar behavior continues...
I took one of these odd assets and made a copy to my desktop. Then I deleted the asset and file within Final Cut Server. Next I moved the asset from my desktop back to the original location and waited for a Full Scan to pick up the asset.
After the Full Scan, the asset was draggable to Final Cut Pro! I can't possibly do this to every asset. Did the database get corrupt?
Ideas? Thanks!
