About Servers and Clients
Final Cut Server is based on a client/server model. This allows many people using
Final Cut Server clients to simultaneously access the Final Cut Server catalog (which
contains all media files and information about the assets and productions
Final Cut Server is managing). Clients can lock and check out assets used in
productions (which are collections of assets and Final Cut Pro projects), preventing
others from making unexpected changes.
