Apple Final Cut Server 1.5 - Manual (Page 66)

• Class: Choose either Media Asset or Production from this pop-up menu.
Note: You cannot change this setting when editing an existing metadata set.
• Md Groups: You choose the metadata groups that this set contains.
• Selected: Lists the metadata groups in the set.
• Available: Lists the metadata groups available to the set. The available groups depend
on the class of the set. Use the Add and Remove buttons to change the groups in
the set. Note that the order of the metadata groups in the Selected list does not
affect the order they appear in when the metadata set is applied to an asset or
production. That order is controlled by each metadata group’s Display Priority setting.
See
Settings for Metadata Groups for more information.
Metadata Synchronization Policy
Metadata is synchronized between Final Cut Server and the device according to one of
the following policies chosen from the Metadata Sync Policy pop-up menu when creating
a new device in the Devices window.
Choose the metadata
sync policy when
creating a new device
using the Devices
window.
Choosing the synchronization policy to use generally depends on who is thought of as
“owning” or being in charge of the device:
• If Final Cut Server owns the device: You should use the “Final Cut Server is master” or
“Two way” synchronization policy if Final Cut Server owns the device.
• If another department owns the device and Final Cut Server is just being granted access to
its content: You should use the “Device is master” synchronization policy if another
department owns the device and Final Cut Server is just being granted access to its
content.
