Chapter 2 Uploading Files to Final Cut Server 33
Here’s an example. When you upload an uncompressed HD video clip to
Final Cut Server, a Final Cut Server asset is created. This asset holds the original file (the
primary representation). The original file is also transcoded to create the Clip Proxy file,
and JPEG images are created to be used as Thumbnail and Poster frame proxy files for
the asset.
After the upload is complete, you can view a list of the proxy files created for the asset
in the Resources pane of the asset’s info window.
You can upload one or more media files to Final Cut Server. When you upload multiple
media files, keep in mind that any setting you define in the Multiple Upload window,
including metadata, will apply to all the files being uploaded. For example, if you
specify a transcode format, all of the files being uploaded will be transcoded.
Important: It is recommended that you include file extensions on all files uploaded to
Final Cut Server.
