Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 329)

This chapter covers the following:
• Opening the Log and Transfer Window (p. 329)
• Controls in the Log and Transfer Window (p. 331)
Many new and advanced camcorders record footage as files stored on devices such as
optical discs, hard disks, and solid-state cards. You use the Log and Transfer window to
transfer file-based media into your Final Cut Pro projects. The Log and Transfer window
provides controls for previewing file-based media, setting In and Out points, logging,
and transferring clips into Final Cut Pro. You can then edit the resulting media files just
as you would edit media files in any other format.
Opening the Log and Transfer Window
The Log and Transfer window is organized into four areas:
• Browse: Provides an overview of all mounted media volumes and the clips contained
within them.
• Preview: Allows you to view footage, set In and Out points, and add clips to the Transfer
Queue.
• Logging: Use this area to add descriptive information about clips before ingesting. You
can also click the Import Settings button in this area to select which video and audio
channels are ingested with each clip.
• Transfer Queue: Shows a status list of clips currently queued for ingest.
