Currently Final Cut Server supports Motion Projects but is incapable of producing proxy files for them. The thing is any computer with quicktime and motion installed is able to do a realtime preview of motion xmls and compressor can even render directly from motion xml to other video formats. I would really like to coerce Final Cut Server to be able to preview and create proxy files of motion documents. I have tried changing mimes to no avail. All of our motion XMLs use relative URIs and the referenced media exists in the same directory as the project file. If I change my client computer's motion project association to always open with quicktime, and then I make sure to cache any referenced media from final cut server, I can then preview the motion project in quicktime. Its a very impractical solution since we are working with literally hundreds of thousands of motions xml files. It would be nice if Final Cut Server could look and see if any reference media exists on the server and cache it automatically. I was thinking that maybe I could have an external script run all my motion documents through compressor to generate the proxy media, but there doesnt seem to be a way to associate proxy media with source files outside of FCServer's default automated process.
