Administration window The Administration window, available in the Final Cut Server
client to users with admin permissions, provides access to a wide variety of aspects of
your Final Cut Server system. It includes panes that allow you to configure preference,
automation, device, and metadata settings. You can also use the metadata settings in
the Administration window to customize the options and information your users see
when using Final Cut Server.

them. See also proxy; edit proxy.

Apple ProRes 422 codec When you upload a Final Cut Pro project, you have the option
of having Final Cut Server create edit proxy versions of the project’s video media using
the Apple ProRes 422 codec. This codec works with SD and HD video, providing
significantly reduced file sizes and bit rate requirements. It is especially useful when your
original media is uncompressed video. When you export or check out a Final Cut Pro
project, you have the option of using the original video media or the more efficient edit
proxy versions that use the Apple ProRes 422 codec. See also edit proxy.
archive Once a project or production is finished, you can use the archive feature to
move the assets from their current device to an archive device, which can be a FireWire
drive, a large slower drive, or another volume where disk space is not an issue. The
assets remain in the Final Cut Server catalog in an inactive state. They can be restored
whenever they are needed later.
asset Every item in a Final Cut Server catalog, whether it is a media file, PDF document,
or folder saved as a bundle, is an asset. All assets are stored on Final Cut Server devices
and can be part of Final Cut Server productions. Final Cut Server includes the ability to
add a wide variety of metadata to each asset. See also device; metadata; production.
