Scans a specified Final Cut Server device. The
purpose of a scan is to synchronize the contents
of the Final Cut Server catalog with the media that
exists on a device. This is necessary if you intend
to change the media on the device directly
without using Final Cut Server. You can choose
the device and a folder in that device to scan, as
well as specify metadata settings. You can also
specify other scan details, such as whether to
purge (remove) items from the catalog if they are
removed from the device, or specify a frame rate
if you are scanning image sequences. Schedule Scan
Scans a specified Final Cut Server device for
productions. Similar to the Scan response action,
but with added production metadata settings that
create a new production with the assets. Schedule Scan Productions
