Final Cut Server is Apple Inc.'s server-based backend for managing Final Cut Pro files (in particular Final Cut Studio) and workflow automation, based on Proximity's artbox[1] package. Not only for Final Cut users it can catalogue any file type and allows for the addition of custom metadata to make those files searchable. Final Cut Server runs on Apple hardware but the server is accessed through a Java client that runs on PCs and Macs. In addition to Java, Final Cut Server makes heavy use of the QuickTime framework and requires its installation when used with PC clients. It was released for sale on 8 April 2008.
On July 23, 2009 Final Cut Server was upgraded from v1.1.1 to v1.5. The release corresponded to the release of a new version of Final Cut Studio. The upgrade also changed the pricing structure by eliminating the 10-client license altogether and reducing the cost of the unlimited client to $999. Upgrades from v1.1.1 to v1.5 for both the unlimited license and 10-client license are $299 with the 10-client license being converted into an unlimited client license during the upgrade. Notable features upgraded in version 1.5 include the addition of global searches accessible to your workgroup, integration of Active Directory permission sets, improved search engine performance, and an expanded line of proxy settings.
