Final Cut Server 1.1

Tuesday, July 01 2008 @ 09:42 AM EDT

I was on a short vacation last week, so I missed Apple's first update to Final Cut Server. Note that both the server and clients must be updated to QuickTime 7.5 before this release. If you are using Final Cut Pro, you must update to Pro Applications Update 2008-02 as well. There have been significant changes to how FCS handles FCP projects, so all cataloged FCP projects should be reanalyzed by the FCS administrator after upgrading.

As a nice change, Apple has published release notes for Final Cut Server.

• Final Cut Pro project files are now delivered as binary XML files on checkout, which is one bit better than text.
• Checked-out FCP projects can now be returned with additional media, and that media will be added to Final Cut Server automatically. (Other apps, such as Motion or Soundtrack Pro, need to have additional media added manually.)
• FCS no longer eats double-byte metadata, so you CJK users can type away.

Please discuss in the FCS 1.1 forum thread begun by djdan...
