Re: Final Cut Server - Initial Thoughts and disappoinments

Hi Charlie,

With regards to your initial three gripes:

• No way of immediately previewing a file in the main browser window?

Are you saying you don't think the accessible proxy copy and/or it's method of access is not efficient? Are you clicking the film-strip icon, top left of a logged asset in the main browser to view?

• Five separate mouse clicks to get to a clip's annotations page?

Previously applied annotations are easily accessible by control clicking [or right clicking] on a logged asset in the main browser. You'll see an Annotations option, as well as a numerical reference that specifies how many are currently applied to the asset.

• No easy (quick) way of searching through logged clips for annotations?

If you expose the advanced search features in the main browser you will see an Annotation field with custom search options and criteria. I'm able to quickly access clips based on applied annotations.

Does this help?
