Making Versions of Final Cut Pro Project Assets
Final Cut Server can track Final Cut Pro project files as you edit them, providing a version
for each changed version of a project that is checked in to Final Cut Server.
If your Final Cut Server administrator turned on asset version control during the installation
process, your system may already be creating new versions of assets as you revise them.
Important: When version control is turned on for an asset, Final Cut Server creates a copy
of every version that is checked in. Before enabling Final Cut Server to track versions of
an asset, check that you have sufficient disk capacity. If you have questions about whether
you should turn on the version control feature for a particular asset, contact your
Final Cut Server administrator.

1 Verify that the version control feature is turned on for the Final Cut Pro project asset by
