Importing a Batch List

You can import a batch list into Final Cut Pro and use it to capture clips to edit or to create
a sequence originally done on another editing system. The frame rate of the batch list is
determined by the currently selected sequence preset in the Audio/Video Settings window.

Note: A batch list must be a text file. In some cases, you may need to add the .txt file
extension to your filename to ensure that Final Cut Pro can import your file.

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

“Organizing Footage in the Browser.”

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 a DV NTSC preset is selected, the command is named
Import Batch List at 29.97 fps.

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