Apple Final Cut Server 1.5 - Manual (Page 137)

edit-in-place Generally, in order to use an asset from the Final Cut Server catalog on a
client’s computer, the computer must have a local copy of the asset. An exception is if
the device that contains the asset is configured as an edit-in-place device and the client
computer has it mounted as a volume. The most common example of this is an Xsan
system since they support a high enough data bandwidth for video data to be transferred
in real time. See also
storage area network (SAN) , Xsan .
edit proxy The assets linked to an uploaded Final Cut Pro project can optionally (based
on a preference setting) have special Edit Proxy files created while they are being analyzed.
These Edit Proxy files use the Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy) codec by default; however, you
can change the transcode setting for Edit Proxies to be any available codec. When you
check out or export the project, you can choose to export it with these Edit Proxy files or
the original media. See also
analyze , Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy) codec , proxy .
elements Final Cut Pro projects contain a list of elements. The elements list shows the
connections the project file maintains with its linked media assets. Final Cut Pro elements
can include media files and Final Cut Pro sequences.
Filesystem The most common file system used for any devices that are local to the server
computer of Final Cut Server or are mounted by it. These can include AFP, Xsan, NFS, and
SMB file systems. See also
Apple filing protocol (AFP) , network file system (NFS) , server
message block (SMB) , Xsan .
file transfer protocol (FTP) FTP is a protocol for exchanging files over networks that
support the TCP/IP protocol.
groups To access the Final Cut Server catalog, users must belong to a group that has a
Final Cut Server permission set assigned to it. Groups can be locally created on the server
or can be from an Open Directory list. See also
permission sets , users .
image sequence A movie exported as a series of numbered image files, stored in a folder.
Each image file contains one frame of video. The Targa and TIFF file formats are commonly
used to export image sequences for file interchange among different film compositing
workstations.
jobs Any action that Final Cut Server performs on an asset is a job. These actions can
include uploading, downloading, copying, and transcoding an asset.
lookup Metadata fields can use a variety of data input methods. A lookup is a pop-up
menu that requires a user to select the data to enter from a provided list of items.
