Add Team Members.
Create a Production.
Production
Add or Import a Library (.fcpbundle) as a Document.
Document
Decide how to set MEDIA LOCATION for each Library:
MEDIA LOCATION
Individual
Will Team Members be working remotely?
Are they using local storage with different volume names?
Shared
Will Team Members work together, on-premise in an office or facility?
Are they using shared storage and/or local storage with the exact same volume name?
Import an Existing Library - prepare the Library by moving all Media and the FCP Cache outside the Library.
Set Library Storage Locations.
(With PostLab, nothing goes inside a FCP Library.)
Media - a destination folder on high-performance local or shared storage (i.e. PostLab Drive).
Media
Motion Content - In Motion Templates folder
Motion Content
In Motion Templates folder
Cache - a destination folder on high-performance local storage.

Final Cut Backups
Libraries uploaded to PostLab Cloud in your Production become a stack of versions you can revert to.
Import Original Media / Camera Source with "Leave files in place"
Create / Relink to Proxy Media on PostLab Drive.
Create a Primary Library...
To hand off work among Team Members with different responsibilities.
As a Central Source of Truth for a larger piece of work.
Create Secondary Libraries...
To assign work to Team Members with different roles.
To divide a large piece of work into smaller pieces of work:
By Video in a Series
By Episode
By Reel
By Scene
Use the Merge Workflow Extension to unify metadata among Primary and Secondary Libraries.
Use Sync to distribute FCP resources (Motion Content, Effects Presets, and LUTs) among your Team.
