In the window that appears, choose how you want to organize the imported media in your library:
•
To add the imported clips to an existing event: Select “Add to existing event,” and choose the
event from the pop-up menu.
•
To create a new event: Select “Create new event in,” use the pop-up menu to choose the
library in which you want to create the event, and type a name (for example, “Chris and Kim
Wedding”) in the text field.
To learn more about events, see
on page 56.
Note: You can set storage locations for each of your libraries using the Library Properties
inspector. For more information, see
on page 434.

If you want to create optimized or proxy media, analyze the video, or analyze the audio, select
the relevant checkboxes in the Transcoding, Keywords, Video, and Audio sections.
If you don’t set Final Cut Pro to analyze your media during the import process, you can analyze it
later (if necessary) in the Browser.
Note: Some import options are available only when you import files from a storage device. For
more information, see
Organize files while importing
on page 42 and

page 38.
