Chapter 7 Working with Final Cut Studio Projects 137
To check in a media asset:
1 In Final Cut Server, check the file back in by doing one of the following:
 Select the checked out media asset in the Assets pane or in a production, then click
the Check In button in the Toolbar.
 Control-click the checked out media asset, then choose Check In from the
shortcut menu.
2 If version control is not turned on for the asset, the asset is checked in. If version
control is turned on for the asset, a Check In window appears. If appropriate, enter a
version comment and click Check In.
For more information about version control, see “Adding Versions for a Media or Project
Asset” on page 85.
The updated media asset is checked back in to Final Cut Server.
Exporting a Project Asset and Its Media
You can always export a copy of a Final Cut Studio project asset and its media files that
were uploaded as bundle asset, or a project asset and media assets that were uploaded
as individual assets, even if the project or media assets are locked or checked out by
another user. However, it’s important to note that exported project and media files
cannot be checked in or otherwise referenced to the original project or media assets.
If you uploaded the original project and its media files as a bundle asset, you can
export the bundle asset in one step. If you uploaded the original project and its media
files as individual assets, you need to export the project asset, then export all of the
media assets. Exporting media assets takes less time than checking out media assets,
because you can export multiple assets from Final Cut Server.
