• 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 folder in the file browser that appears, then click Upload.
2 In the dialog that appears, choose to create an image sequence asset, then click Create.
Important: By clicking Create, you state that the folder you are uploading contains only
a series of image sequence files. Any other file types included in the upload, such as
Final Cut Pro projects or media files, must be uploaded independently from the image
sequence.
3 The Link Upload window appears. Specify any other upload settings including the
following:
• The Video Frame Rate is set by default to 29.97. If necessary, choose a different video
frame rate from the Video Frame Rate pop-up menu, or choose Auto to use an
automatically generated frame rate gleaned from the media’s metadata or use the
system default Video Frame Rate setting. Talk to your administrator to learn more
information about the default Video Frame Rate setting.
Note: The video frame rate settings are provided by Compressor. If the video frame
rate you need is not listed in the pop-up menu, talk to your Final Cut Server
administrator.
• If necessary, choose a new destination device from the Destination pop-up menu.
Important: It is recommended that image sequences be uploaded to a device set up
for image sequences only. Talk with your Final Cut Server administrator about which
configured devices are appropriate for image sequence file storage.
• If you want to group the Final Cut Pro project asset in a production, click Choose at the
right of the Associate with Production field and specify a production.
See Organizing Assets in Final Cut Server for more information about productions,
including creating a new production.
• Choose a metadata set for the asset from the Metadata Set pop-up menu, and add
metadata to one or more fields, defining this as a bundle asset.
4 Click the Upload button to create the asset.
The file is uploaded and the image sequence asset is created.
For information about how to get information about the asset that was just created, see
About the Asset Info Window.
