Creating Automations

There are two types of automations you can configure with Automation Setup
Assistant: a file system watcher that responds to any file changes to a specified location
and a metadata subscription that responds to specific metadata changes.

In each case, the response of the automation can be to copy a file to another location,
send an email to specified addresses, or archive a file.

To create a new automation:

1

Unlock the Final Cut Server pane of System Preferences.

2

Click Automations to show the Automations pane.

This pane lists the current watchers and subscriptions.

Important:

If you have created watchers and subscriptions using the client’s

Administration window, they should appear in this list. If any are missing, you can lock
and then unlock the pane to refresh the list.
