Does anyone at Apple have timescales on when API/scripting access to the
Final Cut Server will be published. Or even just a rough guide to what
is planned to be scriptable once the relevant documentation has been
released.
Thanks,
Simon...

Darrin, Helena:
Thanks for passing along the queries. We're definitely interested in
evaluating FCS to see if it will solve the problems we are running
into for workflow and archival of massive quantities of media.
One of our workflow requirements for the solution we're developing is
external access to the content stored within the video repository -
web driven of course with a rich interactive layer on top (Adobe
AiR/Flex).
If the capabilities of FCS include some robust scripting control, then
it becomes a very attractive solution for a much wider audience. Since
there isn't an evaluation version yet or any other details, spending
1-2k just to evaluate it's utility is a tough proposition.
Again, thanks for the ultra-rapid response! No apologies necessary!
It's a technical question that I can imagine may be tough to answer
with all that's going on - especially as fresh on the market as this
software is.

I second Simon's request.
I got on the phone with pro support yesterday for a bit to ask a
very similar question but didn't get anything specific. I don't even
think Apple knows. :)
1. What scripting options are available for Final Cut Server?
AppleScript is not scripting option for web-based systems - that's
an OS level thing that has nothing to do with running a web site on
top of the FCS system. I read briefly that Ruby might be a language
(maybe Python), which is getting somewhere.
There are no details on the scripting capabilities of Final Cut
Server anywhere in the documentation - administration or setup.
2. Is there an API layer (web services, etc.) that can be accessed?
What type of API, if there is one?
So, does /anyone/ at Apple even know what the capabilities are in
this arena? Seems to be a pretty straightforward question with a
straightforward answer. The press releases and documentation seem to
allude to full scripting capabilities, but nowhere is it detailed to
any extent.
Of course /someone/ at Apple has an answer. But as you can imagine
with just finishing a release they've been a little busy. Being a new
product, I'm guessing they don't have anyone on this list yet to
answer questions. I've forwarded your request to my manager and am
attempting to find someone who can not only answer your question, but
hopefully spend some time answering questions on this list each week.
It may take a day or two before I find the right person. (Also,
several of us will be at NAB next week, so it may take slightly
longer than normal to get a response.) I apologize for the delay.
Thanks,
Darrin
