232 Part IV Capturing and Importing
Organizing Clips in the Transfer Queue
The Status column displays the ingest status of each clip in the Transfer Queue:
 Ingesting: A spinning disc indicates media is being transferred to your scratch disk.
 Paused: A still disc indicates the current clip is partially transferred.
 Error: An exclamation point indicates that the source media for this clip may have
been unmounted or moved since the clip was added to the Transfer Queue. Delete
the clip and add it to the Transfer Queue again.
Clips are ingested one at a time in the order they appear. You can reorder clips by
dragging them above or below other clips. You can also stop the ingest of clips by
selecting them and deleting them from the Transfer Queue.
Pausing and Stopping Ingest
Final Cut Express does not save partially ingested media. If the Transfer Queue is in the
process of ingesting a clip (or if a transfer is paused), Final Cut Express warns you that
you will lose the partially ingested media if you do any of the following:
 Delete the clip from the Transfer Queue.
 Close the Log and Transfer window.
 Close the current Final Cut Express project containing your capture bin.
 Quit Final Cut Express.
Filenaming and Clip Naming During Ingest
When you add clips to the Transfer Queue, Final Cut Express checks to see if a media
file with the same name already exists in the current scratch disk folder. If a media file
with the same name already exists, Final Cut Express modifies the name of the media
file and the resulting clip in the project using the rules described in “
Incrementing
Logging Fields ” on page 230.
