“Final Cut Server’s powerful media asset management capabilities 
simplify managing the thousands of assets that make up a typical edit,” 
said Rob Schoeben, Apple’s vice president of Applications Product 
Marketing. “And Final Cut Server’s sophisticated workflow automation 
tools ensure projects flow smoothly through an organization, enabling 
everyone to be more productive.”

“Apple has done it again—they’ve taken media asset management, 
simplified it and made it affordable, and most importantly, it works 
right out of the box,” said Jeffrey Birch, vice president, Engineering, 
CBS Television Stations.

Final Cut Server automatically catalogs content, generating thumbnails 
and low resolution clip proxies in the process. Broad search 
capabilities extend from simple keywords to complex combinations of 
IPTC, XMP and XML metadata. Final Cut Server can configure a range of 
highly specific access controls that define user permissions on an 
asset or project basis.

Final Cut Server includes customizable templates that manage the flow 
of work typically found in broadcast, post and education environments. 
Sophisticated watch-and-respond systems can be configured to track the 
progress of assets, alert editors as projects move through the 
production pipeline and automatically notify producers by email when a 
project is ready for evaluation. In addition, location-independent 
review and approval tools enable clients to view, annotate and approve 
content from anywhere.

Final Cut Server includes a time-saving shot selection and editing tool 
that supports drag and drop integration with Final Cut Pro® 6 projects. 
An offline/online workflow enables editors to work with HD proxies in 
the field on a MacBook® Pro. Final Cut Server integrates directly with 
Compressor 3 for delivery and provides pristine format conversions for 
publishing to broadcast television, web, iPod®, Apple TV™, DVD and 
mobile phones.
