By default, the Media Import window closes when you click Import. You can begin working with
your clips in the Browser. Final Cut Pro imports your media in the background.
If you selected any options in the previous step, Final Cut Pro transcodes and optimizes the
files after the import process is complete. You can view the progress of the import and other
background tasks in the Background Tasks window.
Import from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Importing media from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is the same as importing it from a file-based
camcorder, camera, or device.
Import from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
1 Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer using the Dock Connector to USB
cable that came with it. (If another application opens, close it.) Then turn on your device and
unlock it.
2 In Final Cut Pro, do one of the following:
•
Choose File > Import > Media (or press Command-I).
•
Click the Import Media button on the left end of the toolbar.
The Media Import window appears.
3 If necessary, select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from the Cameras section on the left.
The Media Import window displays all the media on your device. In this window you can preview
the media by either playing it using the playback controls or skimming it by moving the pointer
forward or backward over a filmstrip.
You can also do any of the following:
•
To change which device to import from: Click the device in the Cameras section.
•
To change the way the clips appear: Click the Clip Appearance button in the bottom-right
corner of the Media Import window.
•
To switch between filmstrip view and list view: Click the List View and Filmstrip View buttons at the
bottom of the Media Import window. (Connected file-based cameras and camera archives only.)
Note: When you select a clip in list view, a filmstrip for the selected clip appears at the top of
the Browser. The filmstrip is fully interactive, allowing access to start and end points, markers,
and keywords.
•
To sort clips in list view by data such as duration, creation date, rating, keyword, and so on: Click
the column headings at the top of list view. For more information about list view, see

still images.
