Uploading Final Cut Pro Projects
Final Cut Pro project assets have a different structure than media assets. When you upload
a Final Cut Pro project to Final Cut Server, the Final Cut Pro project file is the primary
representation for the asset. Final Cut Server discovers the video and other media files
that are linked to the Final Cut Pro project and uploads each of the media files as a unique
media asset. Final Cut Server then lists each of the projectâs linked media files as an element
of the Final Cut Pro project.
Note: If your Final Cut Server administrator has turned on Edit Proxy file creation, an Edit
Proxy will also be created for every video file that is linked to the Final Cut Pro project.
This Edit Proxy is used for checking out Final Cut Pro projects for editing. For more
information about the Edit Proxy feature, talk to your Final Cut Server administrator.
The illustration below shows a Final Cut Pro project at upload. Notice that the elements
list is inside the asset, but the media assets that the elements list references are
independent media assets. Any of the media assets can be found by double-clicking the
element in the Elements pane; when you do this, the media assetâs info window opens.
