Import preferences
When you import media into Final Cut Pro using the Media Import window, you can customize
your import settings each time you import files. However, if you drag media directly from the
Finder into Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Pro uses the import settings you selected in the Import pane
of the Final Cut Pro Preferences window.
Organizing
•
Copy files to Final Cut Pro Events folder: Duplicates the media files and places the copy in the
Final Cut Events folder on your system. If you’re importing media from a different disk or
volume, or if you want to keep a copy of all the media files that have been imported into
Final Cut Pro in the same location, select this checkbox.
