This chapter covers the final steps of working with an asset: outputting a final copy and
creating backup copies of assets. It also explains how to delete assets and productions
from Final Cut Server.
This chapter covers the following:
• Outputting a Final Project (p. 137)
• Archiving and Restoring Media Assets (p. 140)
• Deleting Assets from Final Cut Server (p. 141)
Outputting a Final Project
You can use the Export command to output media and project assets. You can export to
an external drive or another backup device, or you can export to your local system and
then move the files using the Finder.
If you are exporting a media asset, you can transcode the asset during export. However,
transcoding Final Cut Studio project assets and bundle assets is not recommended.
How you export your final project or media asset depends on the asset type. This chapter
presents steps for exporting a Final Cut Pro project, a Final Cut Studio or other project
asset and its linked media assets, a single media file, and a bundle asset.
Important: After you export an asset from Final Cut Server, the asset is no longer tracked
by Final Cut Server.
Exporting a Media Asset
Exporting an individual media asset is simple.
To export an individual media asset
1 Control-click the asset, then choose Export from the shortcut menu.
The Export window appears.
