Final Cut Pro
In a typical post-production workflow, ingest is the first step. You need
to acquire your files before you can have Final Cut Server discover and
manage them. This lesson takes you through the process of acquiring
your assets using Final Cut Pro and having Final Cut Server catalog
those assets.
There are two main methods for cataloging FCP assets using Final Cut
Server: scan and upload. Both of them have advantages and disadvan-
tages, but choosing between them really comes down to what works
best in your workflow.
Before you start ingesting media and creating assets, you need to con-
figure some features of Final Cut Server. Then, you will set up the Final
Cut Pro capture scratch folder as an auto-scanned device in Final Cut
Server.
