Transfer feature.

To Use the Log and Transfer window
1 Choose Final Cut Pro > System Settings, then click
the Scratch Disk tab.
2 Select a scratch disk or folder to which you want
to transfer your media
3 Choose File > Log and Transfer.
4 The contents and thumbnails of the mounted
devices will appear automatically in the Log and
Transfer window. If the file structure of the device
has been copied into a different location, you
can use the "Add Folder" button on the upper
left corner. More information on using the Add
Folder button can be found in the Final Cut Pro
documentation.
5 Please select the files that you want to transfer,
then press the "Add Selection to Queue" button
or drag and drop them onto the Transfer Queue
area.
Note: the preview area is not available for the M2T file transfer.
6 The transfer will start and the files will appear in
the bin window of the editing project. The
transferred files maintain their original quality and
their original time code data in the QuickTime
format. The FAT32 divided files are merged
during transfer.
7 For files recorded in 24A scan mode on the
HVR-S270U/Z7U/Z5U/V1U, the Log and Transfer
window automatically removes the 2-3
cadences and transcodes the HDV data to the
™
Apple ProRes 422 codec during transfer in order
to edit the footage in the 23.98p timeline. This
takes longer than the normal transfer of 60i
recordings. For details of the Apple ProRes 422
codec, please refer to the latest version of the
Final Cut Pro user manual.
