74 Chapter 3 Organizing and Searching the Final Cut Server Catalog
Searching for a Job
Final Cut Server uses jobs to perform actions like uploading, downloading, and
transcoding files. You can search for a specific job that is running or has been run on
Final Cut Server using the Search All Jobs window.
About Jobs
Final Cut Server performs tasks using jobs. The number of jobs that run depends on the
type of action being performed. Some examples of jobs include:
 Copying a file from one location to another runs one job.
 Creating a new asset runs jobs to perform the initial copy and then creates the asset.
 Analyzing an asset uses multiple jobs to create the asset’s proxy files.
Each job creates multiple log entries for each step of the operation.
If you want to monitor the Final Cut Server jobs that are being performed, you can open
the Jobs window. In it, you can search for specific jobs and then see the job’s details.
To search for a specific job or jobs:
1 Choose Search All Jobs from the Server pop-up menu (the pop-up menu in the
Final Cut Server main window that appears when you click the Server button).
The Search All Jobs window appears.
Choose Search All Jobs
from the pop-up menu.
