• Alphabetical – Sort view alphabetically A to Z.

Locating other media
To locate media not in K2 storage you can browse a generic path using the Browse
button, which offers the following functionality:
• Edit in place, transfer, and preview
• Locate and import sequences (XML)
Adding media to your Final Cut Pro project
1. Locate and select the media to add to your project.
2. Select the method for adding the media to your project.
• Edit in place – Use this method to add a clip to the bin without moving the
media. With this method you are playing and editing the clip over the network.
This is the preferred method on a shared storage system such as a K2 SAN.
• Transfer Locally – Use this method to transfer the media corresponding to the
clip to your desired location. This is the preferred method if your editor is
connected via CIFS to a stand-alone K2 client. Depending on clip size, the
transfer can take a significant amount of time. Wait until the cursor no longer
indicates that the operation is in progress before proceeding.
