Restore from Archive Asset subscription No additional options. Restores items from an
archive device.
Run an external script
or command Poll watcher or asset,
production, or job
subscription Executes a script or other external command. You
can also define special parameters to apply to the
script or command.
Scan Schedule Scans a specified Final Cut Server device. The
purpose of a scan is to synchronize the contents of
the Final Cut Server catalog with the media that
exists on a device. This is necessary if you intend to
change the media on the device directly without
using Final Cut Server. You can choose the device
and a folder in that device to scan, as well as
specify metadata settings. You can also specify
other scan details, such as whether to purge
(remove) items from the catalog if they are
removed from the device.
Scan Productions Schedule Scans a specified Final Cut Server device for
productions. Similar to the Scan response action,
but with added production metadata settings
that create a new production with the assets.
Search Expired Schedule Searches for expired items. It creates events based
on a timestamp field (such as Last Accessed) and
a value defining the number of past days to look
for. This can be used to identify items to archive.
Set Asset Metadata Asset subscription Enters data in specified metadata fields. You
choose the asset metadata set with the fields to
change.
Set Production
Metadata Production subscription Enters data in specified metadata fields. You
choose the production metadata set with the
fields to change.
Write XML Asset or production
subscription Creates an XML file based on
the asset’s metadata. This allows someone using
an external system to modify the metadata; for
example, to add review comments, which can be
read back in and applied to the
asset using the Read XML response action.
