transcode settings Final Cut Server uses transcode settings to convert an asset from its
current codec to a different one. Most often you use transcode settings to convert an
asset into one that is smaller or easier to play. The transcode settings for video and audio
assets are from Compressor (which is installed on the server computer). The transcode
settings for images are internal to Final Cut Server.
users To log in to the Final Cut Server catalog, a person has to have a user account on
the server computer. That user account also has to be part of a group that has a
Final Cut Server permission set assigned to it. See also
.
version Final Cut Server can be configured to retain previous versions of selected assets,
making it possible to restore an earlier version if needed. If you check out an asset from
the Final Cut Server catalog, make a change to it, and check it back in, Final Cut Server
first copies the current version to the Version device and then copies the new version to
where the current version was.
watcher A watcher is a type of Final Cut Server automation that continuously monitors
a specified device and executes a response once an asset appears. An example is to watch
a folder to which the graphics department adds new images. Once a new image appears,
the watcher copies it to a device, adds it to the Final Cut Server catalog, and sends an
email to the editor. See also
