  • Filenames: define your naming convention here. In the drop-down box on the right, you can choose the media container. For Final Cut Pro 7, Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere Pro (CS6/CC/CC 2014/CC 2015-2023) you can use either ".mov" or ".mxf" container settings.

    • Variables: you may use Variables for the filename naming scheme. Available Variables are listed below.

  • Media Paths

    • High-Res Media Paths: select the location of the high-res media files. This folder is the main location for your media and must point to the same volume path as the Destination Preset you are using.

    • Proxy Media Paths: select the location of the low-res proxy QuickTime files. This folder is the main location for your proxy media. 

  • Final Cut Project:

    • Create a new Final Cut Project: takes are immediately exported into a Final Cut Pro project file, whenever a recording is stopped or an export is initiated.

    • Append to Final Cut Project: the Final Cut Pro project file can be set in advance, thus enabling the possibility of automated delivery of different Final Cut Pro project files. Example: if you want to create one Final Cut Pro project per day, choose "Append to Final Cut Project" and set the name of the project file to "%Date". A new Final Cut Pro project will then be created for every day. Any take recorded during this day will be delivered to this project. Available Variables are listed below.

  • Final Cut XML Backup

    • High-Res Directory: export location of the high-res XML file. This backup folder can act as a watch folder for external MAM systems.

    • Proxy Directory: export location of the low-res XML file. This backup folder can act as a watch folder for external MAM systems.

Make sure that the High Res Media Path points to the same directory as the Just In Engine Destination Preset.

When using live:cut with just:in linux, make sure that live:cut uses the macOS path to the media files and just:in linux uses the Linux path to the storage location.

A Variable is indicated by a leading "%" and a coloured background. Variables can be rearranged using drag-and-drop. Fixed variables can be used by entering them without a leading "%".
