Enter the following information, then click Continue when finished.
 Proxy Media Location: Enter the location to store the proxy files created for the media
assets. While the proxy files are generally much smaller than the original media files,
this location contains the proxy files from all devices. Be sure to choose a location
with plenty of hard disk space.
Important:
It is strongly suggested that you do not choose a location on the server
computer’s startup disk. The devices created by this setting and the Production Media
Location contain large media files and can use all of the available disk space on their
hard disk, which causes serious issues if that hard disk is also the startup disk.
See “
” on page 16 for more information on choosing
locations for both of these settings.
 Production Media Location: Enter the location to store your production media. This
can be a folder on this computer or a networked device, such as an Xsan or Xserve
RAID. The installer creates the following devices based on this location: Library,
Watchers, Media, Edit Proxies, and Version.
Note: Although it is not typical or suggested, you can make the proxy and
production media locations the same place. Keep in mind that the production media
location can require a large amount of disk space. Also, you can add more locations
for the storage of media once the installer has finished.
Important:
You cannot easily change the proxy and production media locations later.
