Working with the Log and Transfer Window
You use the Log and Transfer window to ingest media files. The Log and Transfer
window is organized into four areas:

within them.
 Preview: Allows you to view footage 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.
To resize areas in the Log and Transfer window, do one of the following:
m Drag a horizontal or vertical resize bar.
m Double-click a horizontal or vertical resize bar to make the area disappear (or reappear
if it is already hidden).
Note: If you drag resize bars near the edge of the window, one or more areas may be
hidden, but the resize bars always remain visible.
