Using the Transfer Queue

The Transfer Queue shows a list of clips currently queued for ingest. The status of
each clip is shown and a progress bar indicates how much of a clip’s media has
already been ingested.

You can pause or restart ingest at any time by clicking the Pause button or by pressing
Command-Control-Q.

Adding Clips to the Transfer Queue for Ingest

There are many ways to add clips to the Transfer Queue for ingest:

 In the Browse area, select one or more clips, then click Add Selection to Queue.
 Drag one or more clips from the Browse area to the Transfer Queue.
 Drag a volume from the Browse area to the Transfer Queue. All clips on the volume

are added to the Transfer Queue at once.

 In the Preview area, click the Add Clip to Queue button.

Note: When you click the Add Clip to Queue button, only the clip that appears in the
Preview area is added to the Transfer Queue.

 Click in the video image in the Preview area and drag the image to the Transfer Queue.

You can also drag clips from the Log and Transfer window to your project in the
Browser. Those clips are automatically logged in the project and added to the Transfer
Queue, and their media is ingested.
