Final Cut Server is Apple's discontinued server-based backend for managing Final Cut Studio files (particularly Final Cut Pro) and for workflow automation. Based on Proximity's artbox package,[1] Final Cut Server includes media asset management tools[2] with access controls and was designed to catalog any media file type and allow addition of custom metadata to make those files searchable.[3][4] Final Cut Server runs on macOS, and is accessed through a Java client and QuickTime framework running on Windows and macOS. Apple announced the discontinuation of the software in June 2011, replacing it with Final Cut Pro X.
