Final Cut Server helps any production workgroup from a two-person boutique to
a global news operation work smoothly and efficiently. It offers media asset management
and workflow automation software that streamlines production work through:
Lightning-fast access to media resources with built-in version management
Automated workflows with email notifications and review/approval mechanisms
Complete flexibility to customize and use as many or as few features as you
want to fit your workflow
Automatic asset cataloging.
Final Cut Server automatically catalogs production assets in the locations you
specify complete with metadata in a range of industry-standard formats. It also
creates any necessary proxies, thumbnails, and poster frames. Users can safely
add, modify, or delete assets directly on drives and volumes, without having
to use the client software.
Rapid search, preview, and access.
Work at blazing speeds with easy-to-use metadata tools, personalized workspaces,
and production "containers"that allow any user to create special-purpose collections
of assets such as scripts, budgets, graphics, and rough cuts without copying
files.
Workflow automation tools.
Set up schedules or triggers for automated events in minutes. Get started quickly
with workflow templates or create custom setups with a series of simple menu
selections.
Intuitive collaboration features.
Project check-in/check-out options, intelligent version management, review and
approval tools, and a cross-platform client make it easy for multiple users
to work on a single production.
Seamless multiformat delivery.
Deliver projects at top quality in a range of formats from H.264 for iPhone
and the web to ProRes 422 for editing to 2K for digital intermediates thanks
to pristine encoding and frame conversions powered by Compressor.
Flexible configuration options.
Small facilities can be up and running quickly with easy installation and setup
tools, while larger shops can tap into a rich set of advanced features to configure
sophisticated facility-wide or cross-facility systems
