File Referenceing

[user_deleted]

Hi there, I'm using shake 4.0.

When I filein footage the path uses the computers name rather than the explicit ip of the source. This often causes problems across our network when opening the same script on another machine. I did have this sussed at one time but cant seem to fix it now. Does anyone know how to sort this?

You have 3 options as far as I know

1- Put all your files/project on a network computer that all computer will work from. So all computer will see for exemple //server/projects/

2-Use the exact files structure on every computer. Assuming you you work on a mac, put youre files in lets say "Volume/documents/. Then, re configure Shake to NOT use UNC path. So instead of using Computer/user/volumes/ducuments, shake will skip the cumputer/user part.

3- Use relative path in your script

Let me know if you need more help
