Apple Final Cut Server 1.5 - Manual (Page 119)

Tip: While you’re editing the Final Cut Studio asset, you can update it in Final Cut Server.
Note that only the asset will be updated, and you will need to manually upload any new
media files to Final Cut Server. After saving the asset in its original application, locate the
asset in Final Cut Server, Control-click the asset, then Choose Update Asset from the
shortcut menu. If version control is turned on for the asset, you can optionally enter a
comment in the Check In window that appears.
6 Save the Final Cut Studio project file to the checkout location.
Important: Saving to any location other than the original location prevents Final Cut Server
from managing the file.
7 In Final Cut Server, check the folder back in by doing one of the following:
• Select the checked-out bundle asset in the Assets pane or in a production, then click
the Check In button.
• Control-click the checked-out bundle asset in the Assets pane or in a production, then
choose Check In from the shortcut menu.
8 If version control is not turned on for the bundle asset, it is checked in. If version control
is turned on for the bundle asset, a Check In window appears. If appropriate, enter a
version comment and click Check In.
See Adding Versions for a Media or Project Asset for more information about version
control.
The updated folder is checked back in to Final Cut Server.
Checking Projects and Media Files In and Out
If you uploaded a Final Cut Studio project and its linked media files as individual assets,
you need to individually check out the project asset and each of the media assets. If the
Final Cut Studio project asset and its linked media assets were put in a Final Cut Server
production and given unique metadata at upload, finding and downloading the
Final Cut Studio project and its media is easy. You can open the production or search for
the unique metadata common to the Final Cut Studio project and its media to find the
project and media assets. Then you can check out the project and each of its media assets.
