Organizing Assets and Productions
When organizing assets and productions, it is important to remember that assets appear
only in the Assets pane of the main window of Final Cut Server. Aliases to the assets in
the Assets pane are used within productions.
The following sections explain how to move, copy, and delete asset aliases and
productions.
Organizing Asset Aliases
You can add asset aliases to productions either from within Final Cut Server or when
uploading new files to Final Cut Server. For instructions on how to add a media or project
asset to a production during the upload process, see Uploading Files to Final Cut Server.
To create an asset alias in a production
1 Browse to the production you want to create the alias in and double-click it to view the
production info window.
2 Browse to the asset in the Asset catalog.
3 Drag the asset into the production info window.
You’ll see a green plus sign near the cursor in the production info window that you are
copying to.
The asset alias appears in the production info window.
To move or copy an asset alias from one production to another
1 Browse to the production you want to move or copy an asset alias to, either by clicking
Productions in the main window and browsing to the production or by searching for the
production.
Then double-click the production to view its production info window.
2 Browse to the asset alias in an existing production.
3 Do one of the following:
• Drag the asset alias into the open production window to move it from one production
to another.
• Option-drag the asset alias into the open production window to copy it to the open
production.
The asset alias appears in the production info window you moved or copied it to. The
title and production info for the asset alias is shown on the asset in both Thumbnails view
and List view; this information becomes useful when looking at search results.
