Resources for Learning About Final Cut Server
There are a variety of resources for you to use when learning about your
Final Cut Server system.
Final Cut Server Printed Documentation
This guide is one of two printed documents that are included with Final Cut Server.
 Final Cut Server User Manual: This user manual describes how to use the
Final Cut Server client for the day-to-day use of the system, such as browsing assets,
managing jobs, and managing productions.
 Final Cut Server Setup and Administration Guide: This guide describes how to install,
configure, and administer most components of the Final Cut Server system. It does
not describe day-to-day use of the system, such as browsing assets and managing
jobs, productions, and orders, which are described in the Final Cut Server User Manual.
Final Cut Server Onscreen Manual
An onscreen version of the Final Cut Server User Manual is available for all users from the
client’s Help menu.
The content of the onscreen versions of this documentation is identical to the printed
version. The onscreen version, however, is fully hyperlinked and enhanced with many
features that make locating information quick and easy:
 The access page provides quick access to various features, including the index and
other relevant documents and websites.
 A comprehensive bookmark list allows you to quickly choose what you want to see
and takes you there as soon as you click the link.
In addition to these navigational tools, the onscreen document gives you other means
to locate information quickly:
 All cross-references in the text are linked. You can click any cross-reference and jump
immediately to that location. Then, you can use the Preview Back button to return to
where you were before you clicked the cross-reference.
 The table of contents and index are also linked. If you click an entry in either of these
sections, you jump directly to that section of the document.
 You can search the text for specific words or phrases.
