Final Cut Server: Working with Annotations

Annotations allow you to comment on various parts of the time-line for a clip.  To setup an annotation, open a clip and then click on the button to the far right below:

Now the proxy clip will cache to your system.  Once it’s complete, use the i key to set an in/out marker for in and then the o key to set out (and you guessed it, space bar works here too).  But don’t click Add Annotation yet, first type notes into the notes field.   

Once you have entered an annotation you can delete one by clicking on the x beside it in the annotations list.  In order to search by annotations you can use a standard Assets search, setting the Annotations to Equals and entering your search string as below:

Happy annotating.
