Is it possible to increase the function of FCP collaborative editing ?

I have been using FCP for three years. I recently put the video project file on the cloud server for editing, but there is no way to open the same project on two iMac at the same time. I hope to add this feature to make editing more Efficiency, For example: two people work at the same time, one person edits film and the other writes subtitles, etc.

What do you mean when you say you "put the video project file on a cloud server for editing?" You mean you put a library on a cloud server? You can't edit a library from a cloud server, or do you mean a network server? Where are the two collaborators, next to each other, or other sides of a country? Do you both have the same library and the same media?


You can exchange XMLs, which are quite small files, text files of the database. You can have XMLs of a whole library, an event, or a single project. Passing project XMLs between each other is usually the simplest way to collaborate.
