  This is the MUST HAVE Avid Unity killer for production companies running Final Cut.

  The potential is awesome for this software.

  It’s been a long time coming. Another part of a head-long charge into big-house setups. All the better.

  FC Server is an asset management software that was called ‘Artbox’ which Apple bought.

  Unity is a SAN like XSAN with XServe.
  FC Server is like Avid’s Interplay – which is basically a management software for multiple assets such as text, video, audio, stills, etc.

  Artbox was a good software however the problem was it has limited support for timecode based media. Hopefully, Apple addressed that issue.

  Also, Artbox is not going to give you, AFAIK, project sharing like you can with Unity. Maybe I am wrong, but there is no indication with it. FCP still interfaces with SANs like any typical software – virtual volume sharing with basica R/W permissions.

  The best part of Artbox, like any of the Apple creative apps, is the price. I still need to see the PC support and the extent of it.
