About Final Cut Pro Project Info Windows
An info window for Final Cut Pro projects is slightly different than the windows for other
types of assets. Its Action pop-up menu does not have all of the items in the Action
pop-up menu for other types of assets because certain actions cannot be performed on
a Final Cut Pro asset. It also contains an additional pane, the Elements pane.
Final Cut Pro project elements are representations of the clips that are used in the
Final Cut Pro project. Final Cut Server creates the elements from the media assets that
are created when the Final Cut Pro project is uploaded to Final Cut Server. For more
information about elements, see “Uploading Final Cut Pro Projects” on page 37.
Viewing an Asset
You can view many video, audio, and image assets. For video and image assets, you can
choose to view the file’s original media, or one of several proxy files. After you choose a
type of file to view, it opens in QuickTime Player or in another appropriate application
(this could be the application in which the file was created).
Note: Keep in mind that Final Cut Server cannot preview any bundle assets or
Final Cut Pro or other project files.
The Elements pane
shows the items
that are part of the
Final Cut Pro project.
