Final Cut Server


Meet Final Cut Server, media asset management and workflow automation software designed for the unique needs of film and video professionals.

Whether you work in a production boutique or a global news network, you can use Final Cut Server to free up more time for creative work. Final Cut Server can automatically manage thousands of assets, execute dozens of routine production tasks, and keep every member of your team in sync.

The scalable client/server software makes it easy to work the way you want to work, using as many or as few features as you need — whether you’re producing a 30-second spot, the nightly news, a documentary film, or a major motion picture.


• Automatic asset cataloging
Final Cut Server catalogs your assets for you — along with a wide range of standard metadata — and creates reference proxies, thumbnails, and poster frames at the same time.

• Rapid search, preview, and access
Find assets instantly with easy-to-use metadata tools, personalized workspaces, and Production “containers” that let you organize the assets you need without copying files.

• Workflow automation tools
Set up automated events and status notifications in minutes. Get started fast with a workflow template, then customize your setup for complete control.

• Intuitive collaboration features
Safely share your assets and seamlessly divide the labor using check-in/check-out protections, version management, and integrated review and approval tools.

• Seamless multiformat delivery
Deliver projects in multiple formats — from H.264 for iPhone and the web to ProRes 422 for editing to 2K for Digital Intermediates — with pristine encoding powered by Compressor.

• Flexible configuration options
Easily set up Final Cut Server to fit your workflow, with server software that scales from one user to hundreds of users and client software that runs on PCs as well as the Mac.
