Adding Versions for a Media or Project Asset
If an asset’s version control feature is turned on, Final Cut Server creates a version every
time the asset is checked in. Final Cut Server numbers the versions in the order they are
created; therefore, the version with the highest number represents the asset that was
most recently checked in.
Any user can turn on version control for an asset. Your Final Cut Server administrator may
have also turned on asset control for all assets in the catalog. You can see if version control
is turned on for an asset by looking at the version checkbox in the Versions pane in the
asset’s info window. When the version control feature is turned on, you can view an asset’s
versions in an asset’s info window.
The version checkbox is
selected, indicating that
version control is turned
on for this asset.
Three versions exist
for this asset.
Important: When an asset’s version control feature is turned on, Final Cut Server creates
a version every time an asset is checked in. Before enabling Final Cut Server to track
versions of an asset, check that you have sufficient disk capacity. If you have questions
about whether you should turn on the version control feature for a particular asset, contact
your Final Cut Server administrator.
To verify that version control is turned on for an asset
1 Double-click the asset.
2 Click the Versions button.
3 If the “Store and track versions of this asset” checkbox is not selected, select it.
Select the versions
checkbox to be able
to create versions
for this asset.
Click Versions to enable
versions for this asset.
