Chapter 6 Working with Final Cut Pro Projects 121
To save a checked out Final Cut Pro project:
m Save the project in the location you specified at checkout.
Important: You must save the project in exactly the same location from which you
checked it out. Not saving your Final Cut Pro project before checking it back in will not
maintain the edits you performed.
About Using Media Manager with a Checked Out Project
Using the Final Cut Pro Media Manager to organize a project that is managed by
Final Cut Server can cause various media management problems. You can use the
Media Manager to organize a project’s media before you upload the project to
Final Cut Server, but using the Media Manager while Final Cut Server is managing the
project is not recommended.
Checking In a Final Cut Pro Project
When you check a Final Cut Pro project back in to Final Cut Server, the new project
replaces the project that you checked out. Any linked media (including unused media
that is in a bin or folder) is updated, and any new media that was added is uploaded to
Final Cut Server.
If you are using version control with the Final Cut Pro project, the older checked out
project is saved as a version of the project asset. If you are not using version control,
the old project asset is overwritten.
Checking in a project removes both the Checkout lock that was applied to the
Final Cut Pro project asset and the Reference locks that were applied to the media assets.
