Compressor Preference Settings
The Compressor pane contains a pop-up menu that allows you to choose the cluster to
use for any transcoding operations. The choices available depend on your Compressor
configuration. See the Compressor documentation, available in the Compressor Help
menu, for information on configuring clusters. Also see “
About Final Cut Server and
Compressor ” on page 32 for information on creating a custom QuickCluster for use
with Final Cut Server.
Note: The Compressor Cluster Password field only activates if you choose a
password-protected cluster.
Important: In the Compressor Cluster Name pop-up menu, the This Computer item
does not actually refer to the computer the Final Cut Server client is using—it refers to
the computer Final Cut Server is installed on.
Proxies Preference Settings
The Proxies pane contains pop-up menus that allow you to choose the devices that
store your normal proxies and, optionally, the Apple ProRes 422 codec proxies.
Each of these devices is actually created during the installation process. See “ Starting
the Final Cut Server Installer ” on page 24 for more information.
