We're reviewing our workflow and would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone who has a similar workflow: R3Ds -> Final Cut Server -> ProRes -> PresStore LTO4 workflow.
Some of the issues we're wrestling with include how do we use FCSvr effectively to manage our R3Ds when it can't generate proxies directly from the R3Ds: to overcome this limitation we currently transcode the R3Ds to ProRes files using RedCineX--and edit with the ProRes. We manually archive the R3Ds to cloned LTO4 tape using PresStore but if we move to a full FCSvr workflow we'd want FCSvr to take care of the archiving BUT there's a disconnect between the ProRes and R3Ds....
Possibly FCPX may help if a new FCSvr can transcode R3Ds, but in the meantime, how have others solved this issue?
