Note: See “

About Edit-in-Place Devices

” on page 172 for more information about

edit-in-place devices.

 Windows edit-in-place URI: Enter the URI for editing media from a Windows client

directly on the device, instead of downloading and editing it on the client. The
device must also be accessible as a network share from the client. The format is:

 file:////hostname/path/

An example is:

 file:////MediaServer/Images/

 Analyze Mode: Analysis creates different proxies for still and clip files. Choose an

option from the pop-up menu to determine how Final Cut Server handles files that
are not known to be still images or movie clips; for example, files missing extensions.

 [None]: Do not analyze files or create proxies for files with missing or unknown file

extensions. Guess the file type by its extension (default).

 Assume Stills: Assume files with missing or unknown file extensions are still images.
 Ignore: Do not analyze files or create proxies for files with missing or unknown file

extensions. Guess the file type by the file’s extension.

 Archive Device: Select this checkbox to add this device to the list of archive locations

a user can choose from.

 Post-archive Command: This only applies if Archive Device is selected. Enter the path

and name of the script or other executable file that should run after an asset is
archived. This can enable integration with other external archiving systems. The script
is given the complete path to the file as its first argument on the command line.

 Pre-restore Command: This only applies if Archive Device is selected. Enter the path

and name of the script or other executable file that should run before an asset is
restored. This can enable integration with other external archiving systems. The script
is given the complete path to the file as its first argument on the command line.
