Welcome to Final Cut Server
Final Cut Server is powerful media asset management and workflow automation
software. Final Cut Server makes it easy to manage large collections of media files. Its
capabilities also extend to tracking job status, orchestrating reviews and approvals, and
automating complex sequences of tasks—all in a single product designed to work
seamlessly with Final Cut Pro.
Installing Final Cut Server also installs Compressor. This powerful transcoding
application provides Final Cut Server with a large variety of preconfigured transcode
settings that you can use when uploading or copying media files to Final Cut Server
devices. You can also create custom settings in Compressor that you can add to the
Final Cut Server transcode settings list.
