To import a batch list:

1

In the Browser, open an existing bin, or create a new bin to store the offline clips and
open it.

For more information, see Volume II, Chapter 1, “Organizing Footage in the Browser.”

2

Choose File > Import > Batch List.

Note: The frame rate of the current sequence preset appears in the Import Batch List
command name. For example, if you a DV NTSC preset is selected, the command is
named Import Batch List at 29.97 fps.

3

Locate the batch list, select it, then click Choose.

The logged clips appear in the Browser as offline clips that you need to capture.

You can capture the clips all at one time by doing a batch capture. For more
information, see “

Batch Capturing Clips

” on page 272.

Note: Make sure you have all the source tapes associated with the batch list before
starting the capture process.

Troubleshooting Batch List Importing

If you’re having a problem importing a batch capture list, check the format of the text
file. Final Cut Pro does not support importing RTF (Rich Text Format) text files. If you
have an RTF file you need to import, open it in a text editing application such as
TextEdit and save it as a plain text document first.

Clips from the batch list

are offline until you

capture them.
