Chapter 1 About Final Cut Server 15
Installing the Final Cut Server Client
Your Final Cut Server administrator will provide you with a URL from which you can
download a copy of the Final Cut Server client to your computer. Your administrator
will also give you a user name and password for the Final Cut Server client.
After downloading the Final Cut Server client, a login screen appears. You can log in
to Final Cut Server using the user name and password provided by your
Final Cut Server administrator.
You can log out of the Final Cut Server client by choosing Log Out from the Server
pop-up menu, or by clicking the close button in the Final Cut Server main window.
After the Final Cut Server client is installed on your computer, you can open it by
double-clicking the application icon that appears in the location where you installed
the application.
The Final Cut Server Main Window
After logging in to Final Cut Server, you’ll see the Assets pane of the Final Cut Server main
window. The Assets pane may be empty or filled with media that has been scanned by
your Final Cut Server administrator or uploaded by other Final Cut Server users.
Note: The screen shots shown in this manual show a default Final Cut Server system.
Because your Final Cut Server administrator can configure different media types and
metadata fields, your system may look different than the system shown on these pages.
