Re: Multiple DSsssss

Guys you are making this too hard.
If both systems are on the same network (workgroup) and on Unity (or TerraBlock works great too) you can just open the project from DS1 on DS2. Mount the drives used by DS1 on DS2 and make sure they are in the data management settings and your system will scan the drives and your media will appear, open the project through the projects in the workgroup instead of this station only.
We work in this mode everyday and have been for a over a year. We even share Adrenaline media on the DS systems. This way you don't have duplicate projects or sequences or media.
Hope this helps.

So as long as you didnt capture or digitize or import or link or do anything new in the project, you can do a new sequence with effects and keyframes and email it to someone who already restored that poject, and it will be fine.</x-tad-bigger>

But, on the other hand the opposite is true. You can copy a sequence and paste directly in the other project if all the clips in the sequence were already in both projects. This saves you from archiving and restoring over and over again.</x-tad-bigger>
