Apple Final Cut Server 1.5 - Manual (Page 104)

About Media Files with No File Extension
In some cases, Final Cut Server automations can correctly recognize, upload, and process
media files that do not have a file extension. To ensure that all files upload and are
processed correctly, be sure all media files have an extension. This is especially true if the
files are being uploaded to an FTP device.
Files without file extensions that are not correctly recognized will upload and be added
to the Final Cut Server catalog as assets, but they will not have thumbnail or proxy files
generated for them.
Response Pane and Window
The Response pane contains the settings for creating a wide variety of preconfigured
actions. These responses are what the watchers, subscriptions, and schedules use when
they detect that an action needs to be performed. Responses are configured separately
from watchers, subscriptions, and schedules because the same response may be required
in several situations.
The Response pane lists the existing responses.
Click the Duplicate
button to add a copy
of the currently selected
response.
Click the Create button
to add a response.
Click Response to show
the Response pane.
The Response pane includes the following columns:
• Name: The name of the response as entered when it was created
• Response Action: The basic action that the response performs
• Description: A description entered when the response was created
