Facilis Project Manager Usage:
Enabling Sharing
In order to share a Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere Pro project on a Facilis volume, the
volume must first have sharing enabled.
1. Select the Facilis Volume you wish to use for Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere
Pro project sharing in the Volume Name Pane
2. Press the ‘Enable Sharing’ button.
3. The Volume will become highlighted in green in the Volume Name Pane to
indicate that Facilis project sharing has been enabled on the volume.
4. A new folder called “_Facilis Project Share” will be created on the selected
volume.
 Volumes are required to be mounted in C:\Volumes for the Windows
Project Manager to function properly. The Windows Project Manager is for
use with Windows Adobe Premiere only.
In order for the Facilis Project Manager to manage project ownership, the Final
Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere Pro project (.FCP file or .PRPROJ file) must reside
within the “_Facilis Project Share” folder located on the Facilis volume.
Once a volume has had Facilis project sharing enabled, copy any Final Cut Pro or Adobe
Premiere Pro projects you wish to share into the “_Facilis Project Share” on the TerraBlock
volume. Alternatively, Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere Pro projects can be saved directly
into the “_Facilis Project Share” folder directly from the Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere
Pro Application using “Save” or “Save As”.
 For organizational purposes, users can create sub-directories within the “_Facilis
Project Share” directory. The Facilis Project Manager will see any Final Cut Pro
project file (.FCP) or Adobe Premiere Pro Project File (.PRPROJ) located in sub-
directories within the “_Facilis Project Share” directory.
Taking or Removing Ownership
 It is recommended that only site administrators access Facilis Project
Manager to manage project ownership.
To take ownership of a Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere Pro project:
1. Open the Facilis Project Manager.
2. Select the volume in the Volume Name Pane where your shared project resides. Your
shared project will be listed in the Project List Pane.
3. If the project does not have an owner listed in the User Name / Host Name columns,
then the project is ‘unlocked’ and any user can take ownership by simply opening the
project from within the “_Facilis Project Share” and saving the project.
 Users can also take ownership by selecting the ‘Take Ownership’ button in the
Facilis Project Manager.
