Chapter 2 Uploading Files to Final Cut Server 35
2 Some of the information and metadata in the Upload or Upload Multiple window is
automatically entered. You can change the metadata set from the Metadata set pop-up
menu and add metadata for the new asset or assets.
Important: If you are uploading a file that you previously added metadata to using the
default QuickTime annotation fields, you must choose the Media metadata set for the
asset. When you do this, the metadata that was assigned to the file in QuickTime
appears in Final Cut Server in the QuickTime metadata group of the Media metadata
set. If you apply any other metadata set to the asset, the QuickTime metadata will not
appear in the Final Cut Server asset.
Remember that all the metadata you apply for a multiple upload will be attached to
each of the assets being created.
3 If necessary, choose a new destination device from the Destination pop-up menu. This
specifies the device on which the file will be stored. If you have questions about which
device to choose, contact your Final Cut Server administrator.
