In a new Finder window, open the Watcher Media folder from the FCS_Book_Files
folder.
1
This is the content you'll use to demonstrate delivery via watch folders. You don't
add it to the asset catalog as these are not source clips, but deliverables.
In another Finder window, navigate to the FCSvr directory and open the Watchers
folder.
2
This is where the watchers you created reside, and you'll copy the sample content into
these folders to trigger your publish responses.
3
Copy the file
SR0134 003 The Needles Sealions
from the Watcher Media folder to the
FTP folder in the Watchers directory. Since we made these watchers in the Preferences
pane, they will have a default polling value of around 30 seconds.
4
Open the Search All Jobs window in the client application and observe the multiple
copies and transcodes that happen. Depending on the system you've installed Final
Cut Server on, these transcodes could take upward of 5 minutes.
NOTE
When the transcodes have finished, note that the file that you dropped into
the FTP folder is no longer there. This keeps the watcher directories clean.
