A production is like a virtual folder in Final Cut Server: a simple yet powerful way to keep the assets for media, project files, and other documents organized within a single container. They can symbolize film projects, news packages, commercials, or an assemblage of commonly used “house” media.
Unlike folders in a traditional file system, production containers simply link to the assets they contain. So the same asset can be present in many containers without it being copied into multiple locations.
You’ll probably first encounter a production as you associate uploaded files to one, but you can create one from scratch directly within the client application, adding assets into it by simple drag and drop.
As assets become associated with different productions, you will see these productions listed within the asset’s info window.
