The last stage of this process is to upload the new Final Cut Pro project to Final Cut Server.
When you upload the project, the media assets that you prepared for disconnected use
are updated, if necessary, in Final Cut Server, the new Final Cut Pro project is uploaded
as a new asset, and any new media files are uploaded to Final Cut Server as new media
assets.
To upload the new Final Cut Pro project to Final Cut Server
1 Do one of the following:
• Drag the Final Cut Pro project file from the Finder to the column on the left of the
Final Cut Server main window, to the Assets pane, or to a production.
• Choose Upload File from the Server pop-up menu (the pop-up menu in the
Final Cut Server main window that appears when you click the Server button), select
the Final Cut Pro project file in the file browser that appears, then click Upload.
The Upload Final Cut Pro Project window appears.
2 Some of the information in the Upload Final Cut Pro Project window is automatically
entered. If necessary, you can change the metadata set or add any metadata for the new
Final Cut Pro project and the linked media. Click to move through the metadata categories
on the left to view all the available metadata fields.
3 If you want to put the Final Cut Pro project asset in a production, click Choose at the right
of the Associate with Production field and specify a production.
