Hi All,

I am working on a student film this year, and all of our footage will be saved and backed up to two 2TB external drives. The footage will be edited from the drives on FCP, but visual effects work will be done on a PC. Both Mac and PC have to be able to read and write to the drive.

Do I have to format the drives on Mac with FAT32 and hope individual file sizes don't go above 4GBs, or is there another format option that could work?
 
There is software that will allow PC's to work with mac formatted drives. You should install that on your PCs.
 
MacDrive is the answer for the PC folks. And it's not expensive either.

The bigger problem will be what format you'll give the video to the VFX guys in.
