4 – Importing HDV Data Files

Log and Transfer Overview

Final Cut Pro requires M2T and DV files to be rewrapped to QuickTime Movie files and

copied to the designated Capture Scratch location. This is accomplished with the

integrated Log and Transfer tool. A brief overview of the interface is below.

Log and Transfer automatically scans for connected media, and displays clips in

the Clip List.

Prior to transfer, additional logging information may be entered for a clip, along with

preferences for Video and Audio import. For M2T files, the Preview Window is disabled.

However, as shown below, static clip thumbnails are provided.

Note: Files recorded in “24A” mode of a camcorder will be transcoded to Apple Pro Res

422 format in order to remove 2:3 pull-down fields. For other modes such as native

24P, there is no transcoding during transfer.

For more detailed information, please consult the Apple Final Cut Pro User Manual.
