Talking about Final Cut Server I have a couple scripts using fcsvr_client to automate asset/production ingestion and archiving with intermediate transcoding that might be of some interest. I worked on those with Beau Hunter from 318 who is also behind the "transmogrifier" ( http://transmogrifier.sourceforge.net/ ) . Anybody interested please contact me off-list as we plan to publish this scripts with the rest of the project documentation sometime this fall. - Jaime Gago Systems Administrator Simulation & Educational Technology Information Resources & Technology (IRT) Stanford University School of Medicine jgago@stanford.edu mobile:415-823-7069 http://med.stanford.edu/edtech On Sep 9, 2010, at 3:13 PM, Charlie Miller wrote: > Hi all, > > Greetings from NYC.
