Apple Final Cut Server 1.5 - Manual (Page 146)

device Devices are storage locations. They can be folders in a local volume on the server
computer, network volumes, or folders from an Xsan volume.
edit-in-place Generally, in order to use an asset from the Final Cut Server catalog on a
client’s computer, the computer must have a local copy of the asset. An exception is if
the device that contains the asset is configured as an edit-in-place device and the client
computer has it mounted as a volume. The most common example of this is an Xsan
system because they support a high enough data bandwidth for video data to be
transferred in real time. See also
Xsan .
Edit Proxy At upload, an Edit Proxy file can be created for video files that are uploaded
to Final Cut Server as part of a Final Cut Pro project. Edit Proxy files are intended to be
used when checking out a Final Cut Pro project. Note that Edit Proxy files are not created
automatically; the Final Cut Server administrator must turn on the Edit Proxy feature to
generate Edit Proxy files. See also
proxy .
elements Final Cut Pro project assets contain a list of media assets that are linked to the
Final Cut Pro project file. Final Cut Pro project elements can include media files and
Final Cut Pro sequences.
image sequence A movie exported as a series of numbered image files, stored in a folder.
Each image file contains one frame of video. When you import a folder of numbered
image files into Final Cut Server, you have the option to save them as an image sequence
asset.
jobs Any action that Final Cut Server performs on an asset is a job. These actions can
include uploading, downloading, copying, and transcoding an asset.
managed file When you check out an asset, Final Cut Server creates a managed copy of
the file. The managed file can be edited and checked back in to update the original asset.

metadata Metadata is information about a file. In Final Cut Server, metadata is used to
describe the asset’s primary representation file and to describe the asset itself.
metadata set Final Cut Server organizes metadata into metadata sets. Metadata sets
contain groups of metadata; metadata groups contain metadata fields.
Poster frame A Poster frame is a JPEG proxy file generated from a media asset’s primary
representation file at upload. See also
proxy .
prepared media In Final Cut Server, you can prepare media files to be used later in a new
Final Cut Pro project. When you select one or more media files and choose Prepare for
Disconnected Use, alias copies of the files in the cache are created in the location you
choose. Later, when your computer is disconnected from Final Cut Server, you can use
the prepared media files to create a new Final Cut Pro project.
