This plugin was created to allow you to easily transfer the clips you recorded using the camcorder to Apple's Final
Cut Pro X non-linear editing system. This plugin is compatible with Apple’s Final Cut Pro X, version 10.0.3.
Your camcorder may not support all of the features and functions described in these instructions.
Transferring clips directly from the camcorder or from a CF card
You can transfer clips to Final Cut Pro X directly from a CF card inserted into a card reader connected to your
computer. You can also connect the camcorder to the computer using a USB cable to import clips directly from the
camcorder.
For details about transferring file-based media to Final Cut Pro X, refer to
Final Cut Pro X User Manual.
