you gots 1 gig of disk space on the server !

Wherever you log in, pc or mac, you have access to your very own gigabyte of storage space! (generous, eh?) On a PC, it's at the bottom of your "MY COMPUTER" browser window. On a Mac, an icon shows up on the right of the dock. Use this instead of your flash drive to transfer small stuff around.

FINAL CUT WON'T CAPTURE ! ? !

You gotta set all your scratch disks to your folder you created in the "STUDENT" hard drive. (The default setting points to nowhere so Final-Cut freezes.)

3D Studio Max won't open ? ! ? !

In the text field initially presented to you, type "JMCNAS". Then click "next", "next", "next", etc. until 3DSMax opens. Yay!

TIME has THREE servers!

TIME has 3 SERVERS : Time01, Time10, + Time56. These are meant to be TEMPORARY storage spaces for transferring files. -Your files must be in a folder with your name on it or they will be DELETED! -If your "Date Modified" is over 3 months ago your files will be DELETED!
THESE SERVERS ARE LIVING GARDENS, NOT GRAVEYARDS!!!!

VIDEO LAB : HDV DECK ERROR

"No matter what I do, Final Cut won't recognize the deck! I'm so upset... I could cry!" -youSez
MTsez- "I don't know why, but FCP gets tripped up when capturing from these HDV decks sometimes (even with Standard Definition captures). Open up iMovie. Once iMovie recognizes the deck, it fixes the connection problem. Now go back to FCP. You should be able to capture now!"
