Final Cut Pro project assets are unique in that the relationship between a Final Cut Pro
project and its linked media files is managed by Final Cut Server. Final Cut Studio project
files can also be uploaded as assets and tracked by Final Cut Server, but the references
between the project file and the media files are not automatically managed by
Final Cut Server.
It is recommended that you upload a folder containing the Final Cut Studio project file
and all of the media files linked to the project to Final Cut Server.
