Create optimized and proxy les when importing by dragging

When you drag media from the Finder into an event or the Timeline in Final Cut Pro, it is

automatically organized, transcoded, and analyzed based on the import settings that you specify

in Final Cut Pro preferences.

1 To specify import settings, choose Final Cut Pro > Preferences, click Import, and select the import

settings you want to apply to your media.

For detailed information about import settings, see Import preferences on page 444.

2 To import one or more les, select a le (or Command-click multiple les) in the Finder and drag

the selection to the Timeline or to an event in the Libraries list.

Generate a proxy le from the Info inspector

You can create a proxy le for a clip using the Info inspector. You can check to see whether a

proxy le exists for a clip by viewing the clip’s information in the Info inspector. If the le you’re

viewing in the Info inspector doesn’t have a proxy le, you see a red triangle.

If a proxy has not been

created for a clip, a red

triangle is shown.
