Uploading Final Cut Studio Projects
Final Cut Pro project assets are unique in that the relationship between a Final Cut Pro
project and its linked media files is managed by Final Cut Server. Final Cut Studio
project files can also be uploaded as assets and tracked by Final Cut Server, but the
references between the project file and the media files are not automatically managed
by Final Cut Server.
It is recommended that you upload a folder containing the Final Cut Studio project file
and all of the media files linked to the project to Final Cut Server.
Important: It is possible to upload only a Motion, Soundtrack Pro, or DVD Studio Pro
project file to Final Cut Server. When you upload only the project file, an asset will be
created for only the project file. Unlike a Final Cut Pro project file, the Final Cut Studio
project file will not include a list of elements. Instead of uploading a single project file,
it is recommended that you upload a folder containing the Motion, Soundtrack Pro, or
DVD Studio Pro project file and all of the media files linked to the project file to
Final Cut Server.
When you upload a folder containing the Motion, Soundtrack Pro, or DVD Studio Pro
project file and all of the media files linked to the project file, a dialog appears asking
you if you want to the upload the folder and the files it contains as a bundle asset or as
individual assets.
