Chapter 2 Uploading Files to Final Cut Server 43
To upload a Final Cut Studio project file and its media files as a bundle asset:
1 In the Final Cut Studio application, save the project and choose to collect the media. In
Motion and Soundtrack Pro, you can do this by choosing File > Save As and choosing
to collect the media in the Save As window. In DVD Studio Pro, you need to manually
place the project and media files in a folder.
Note: For specific information on using these applications, see the application’s
User Manual.
Important: When uploading a DVD Studio Pro project file and its linked media files,
there is no need to upload .par files. When you check out and open the project in
DVD Studio Pro, the .par files will be automatically recreated.
The project file and its media files are saved in a folder at the location you specified.
2 In Final Cut Server, create a new production for the project and its assets by following
these steps:
a Open the Productions pane by clicking Productions in the column at the left of the
main Final Cut Server window.
b Click the New Production button in the Toolbar.
c Choose a metadata set for the new production from the Metadata Set pop-up menu.
d Depending on the production type you chose, a number of production metadata
fields appear. Enter a title and other unique metadata for the project in these fields.
Fields marked with an asterisk (*) must be filled in.
e Click Save Changes to save the new production.
3 Drag the folder that contains the project file and its linked media from the Finder to
the new production in the Final Cut Server Productions pane.
