Note: To avoid losing track of checked-out projects, you can create a “Checked out
Final Cut Server projects” or similar folder on the desktop or in another convenient location.
5 Click the Check Out button.
The Final Cut Pro project asset is marked with the checkout icon in Final Cut Server. The
project and its linked media files are downloaded to your Final Cut Server cache location,
and an alias to the cached copy of the Final Cut Pro project is created in the location you
specified in the Check Out Final Cut Pro Project window.
You can track the progress of the checkout by watching the Jobs in Progress indicator.
The spinning gear indicates that Final Cut Server is downloading copies of the files you
checked out, and the number indicates the number of files being downloaded. For more
information, you can open the Downloads & Uploads window, which shows the specific
files being downloaded and information about the status of each downloaded file.
