46 Chapter 2 Uploading Files to Final Cut Server
The illustration below shows a Final Cut Studio project and its media being uploaded
as individual assets within a Final Cut Server production.
Important: It is recommended that you upload a Final Cut Studio project file and its
media files into a common production. It is also recommended that you add unique
metadata to the project asset and each of its media assets. This metadata should be
used only on the project asset, media assets, and the production. Adding unique
metadata and creating a production gives you two ways to connect the project asset
and its media assets.
To upload a Final Cut Studio or other project file and its media files
as individual assets:
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 are saved in a folder at the location you specified.
