10 Choose Job Filter from the menu on the left, and choose Equals from the Status pop-
up menu. Enter FAIL in the text-entry field next to the Status pop-up (you are look-
ing for jobs that have a status of failed), and select “Trigger if changed.” Click Save
Changes when finished.
Now when a job fails, it automatically sends out the email notification you created. This is
because you set up a subscription looking for a change in the job status to Failed, and this
change triggers your email being sent.

Configuring Watchers for Delivery
In the previous exercise, you configured your destination folders, devices, and transcode
settings. Now you'll set up your watchers and the copy responses that do the actual trans-
coding and pushing of the content to your destination devices. Watchers are useful for
delivering finished content; there's no need to log directly in to Final Cut Server. An editor
can export a finished sequence directly from Final Cut Pro to a Final Cut Server watcher. The
editor's work is now complete. Final Cut Server takes over the task of transcoding the media
into the proper formats and pushing that transcoded media to its destination location.
In this exercise, you'll configure three watchers. Each one will transcode the media dropped
into it into the three settings you configured earlier (H264 for AppleTV, H264 for iPhone,
and MPEG-4) and push it to the destination device associated with the watcher.

NOTE In a real-world scenario, the watchers will reside on the server and be shared
to the client computers (or directly mounted in the case of a Xsan).
