Chapter 4 Working in Final Cut Server 97
Using the Edit-in-Place Feature
Your Final Cut Server administrator can configure the edit-in-place feature and create
copies of assets for editing directly on an Xsan server or other shared storage locations.
When the edit-in-place feature is set up, you no longer need to download, cache, or
check out the asset; instead, you can drag your asset directly from the asset catalog to
an application for editing.
Important: Edit-in-place must be set up by your Final Cut Server administrator.
Contact your administrator to find out if edit-in-place is configured before you try to
use the feature.
Monitoring Jobs
Files are constantly being uploaded and downloaded by Final Cut Server. The job
progress indicator, Downloads & Uploads window, and Search All Jobs window all
display information about the progress of files being uploaded to and downloaded
from Final Cut Server.
The Jobs in Progress Indicator
The Jobs in Progress indicator appears in the bottom-left corner of the Final Cut Server
main window when files are being uploaded or downloaded. It looks like a spinning
gear and indicates that a certain number of jobs are being performed.
