# Enabling Lustre Interoperability Options

When creating a project in Smoke, you have the option to create at a matching Lustre project. Use this option to simplify media exchanges between Smoke and Autodesk Lustre. This option ensures that, for example, the frame rate is identical in both Smoke and Lustre, or that the Lustre project Render directory is already set up as a library in Smoke.

NoteThe option to create a Lustre project is only available when creating a project, not when modifying an existing one. Also, editing the Smoke project settings after having created the project does not edit the corresponding Lustre settings.
