FCP X: Import Media From Camera, Camera Card, Hard Disk and iPhone [u] [video]
[This is an excerpt from a recent on-line video webinar: “FCP X: Media Management” which you can download here in our store, or as part of our Video Training Library.]
[ This movie was updated Feb. 5, 2016, to fix errors regarding how AVCHD media is handled by Final Cut Pro X.]
Media management is defined as: “the process of organizing, importing and keywording media prior to and during editing.” Sounds simple, but we get more questions about media management in Final Cut Pro X than any other subject. So, this week, our goal is to answer all your questions.
In this webinar, Larry Jordan looks at:
- Where to store media on your system
- How to organize media
- How to move libraries, media and projects
- Which import options to use for your projects
- How to use favorites and keywords to track all your clips after import
- When files should be stored in a library or referenced separately
- How to consolidate libraries
- How to create libraries from existing events and projects
- How to change library preference settings
- How to change where media and render files are stored
In this short video excerpt, Larry shows the best way to import media from a camera, camera card, hard disk or iPhone into Final Cut Pro X.

_Always_ enjoy your tutorials Larry – thanks
Anyway to set these on-line clips so user can SELECT a playback rez a la Youtube?
Your HD version playback is glacial for those of us “off the grid” of faster connections! Of course I realize that too Low will compromise the viewing detail of your screens…
