Lustre projects that make use of Wiretap must be configured differently than regular Lustre projects. The choices you make depend upon several factors. These factors include whether you will render locally or to a SAN or NAS (as can be the case in non-Wiretap setups), or use Wiretap to render to a Stone FS or Standard FS. In addition, you need to decide whether you will generate local proxies for the clips, or make use of proxies that might already exist on the Stone FS or Standard FS. If your project will make use of soft-imported media, additional considerations apply.

This section describes the settings for Lustre projects that make use of Wiretap, for all configurations other than those that use soft-imported media. For Wiretap projects that also make use of soft-imported media, see Working with Soft-Imported Media. For general considerations on setting up projects, see Project Management.
