About Contentbase
Contentbase is a Final Cut Server-managed file storage system on or connected to the
Final Cut Server server itself. Media is stored on a file system such as network-attached
storage (NAS) or storage area network (SAN) storage.
Contentbase is a file system unique to Final Cut Server that places each asset in a unique
folder. An advantage of Contentbase is that you can add files to it without any chance
of a filename conflict (which can be useful when you have many graphics files that share
filenames). The disadvantages are that you cannot create a subfolder structure and the
files can be difficult to work with outside of Final Cut Server.
Note: The Proxies, Edit Proxies, and Version devices must use the Contentbase file system.
Important: Devices using the Contentbase device type cannot be used by a file system
watcher.
To access the Contentbase device settings
1 Click the Create button in the Administration window’s Devices pane to create a new
device.
