This chapter explains how to work with Final Cut Pro projects. You can edit Final Cut Pro
projects by checking out the project asset, editing the checked-out file in Final Cut Pro,
and then checking the edited file back in to Final Cut Server. A separate workflow is
provided for editing a Final Cut Server–managed copy of a Final Cut Pro project while
you are not connected to the Final Cut Server network. You can also export a copy of a
Final Cut Pro project from Final Cut Server.

About Final Cut Pro Projects
When you upload a Final Cut Pro project to Final Cut Server, the Final Cut Pro project is
uploaded as an asset, and each media file that is linked to that Final Cut Pro project asset
is also uploaded as an independent media asset, called an element of that project.
Final Cut Server uses elements to track the linked media assets. Elements are listed in the
project asset’s Elements pane.
