Import preferences
When you import media into Final Cut Pro using the Media Import window, you can customize
your import settings each time you import files. However, if you drag media directly from the
Finder into Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Pro uses the import settings you selected in the Import pane
of the Final Cut Pro Preferences window.
