188 Part II General Administration
The Transcode Settings pane of the Final Cut Server client’s Administration window lists
the current transcode settings.
Adding Transcode Settings
Final Cut Server includes a large variety of transcode settings. All clip transcode settings
are based on Compressor settings, and most image transcode settings are based on
internal Final Cut Server settings. If you need to add additional, custom settings, you
first need to create custom settings in Compressor. See the Compressor
documentation, available from the Compressor Help menu, for details on creating
custom settings.
Once you have created a custom setting in Compressor, you can add it to
Final Cut Server.
To add a new transcode setting:
1 Click the Create button in the Transcode Settings pane.
The Transcode Settings window appears.
2 Enter a name for the transcode setting in the Name field.
Click the Create button
to add a new transcode
setting.
