2 If version control is not turned on for the asset, the asset is checked in. If version control
is turned on for the asset, a Check In window appears. If appropriate, enter a version
comment and click Check In.
See Adding Versions for a Media or Project Asset for more information about version
control.
The updated media asset is checked back in to Final Cut Server.
Exporting a Project Asset and Its Media
You can always export a copy of a Final Cut Studio project asset and its media files that
were uploaded as a bundle asset, or a project asset and media assets that were uploaded
as individual assets, even if the project or media assets are locked or checked out by
another user. However, it’s important to note that exported project and media files cannot
be checked in or otherwise referenced to the original project or media assets.
If you uploaded the original project and its media files as a bundle asset, you can export
the bundle asset in one step. If you uploaded the original project and its media files as
individual assets, you need to export the project asset, then export all of the media assets.
Exporting media assets takes less time than checking out media assets, because you can
export multiple assets from Final Cut Server.
To export a copy of a bundle asset
1 Control-click the bundle asset, then choose Export from the shortcut menu.
The Save window appears.
2 In the Save window, choose a destination to save the exported bundle asset to by clicking
the Choose button, identifying a location in the file browser, and clicking Save.
The Export window appears.
3 In the Export window, click the Export button.
Important: Do not choose a transcode setting for the bundled asset. Choosing a transcode
setting while exporting a project asset and its media files will transcode all the files to
the setting you specify, and corrupt one or more files.
