You can transfer clips to Final Cut Pro directly from a CF card inserted into a card reader connected to your
computer. You can also connect the camcorder to the computer using a USB cable to import clips directly from the
camcorder.
For details about transferring file-based media to Final Cut Pro, refer to Final Cut Pro User Manual.
