1” in the Capture Scratch folder on your Scratch Drive. For more information about Final Cut Pro,
refer to the user manuals or the Apple Pro Training Series of books for Final Cut Pro.
To ingest your footage, go to the File menu and select Import, then select “Panasonic P2...” This will
bring up the Import Panasonic P2 window. Give your clips a Reel Name, located at the top of this
window. Then click the plus sign to the right of the Volumes/Paths: drop down menu. Navigate to the
folder that contains your LASTCLIP.TXT document and CONTENTS folder and click Open. A list of
all the clips from your FS-100 will show up. To ingest select clips, hold the command key (Apple key)
and click your mouse on the specific clips you want. Then click the Import button in the lower right of
this window. If you want to ingest all the clips listed, simply click the Import All button.
This will convert your clips to QuickTime DVCPRO-HD movie files that retain all your P2 metadata.
These files will be placed in a folder inside the Capture Scratch folder on your Scratch disk. When
completed, all your clips will show up in your FCP Browser window.
You can perform this ingesting process directly from the FS-100 into Final Cut Pro if you wish. Once
you open the Import Panasonic P2 window, the FS-100 should automatically show up listed in the
Volumes/Paths field. Again, this method saves hard drive space because you aren’t copying the
CONTENTS folder and the LASTCLIP.TXT document to your hard drive. But you also don’t retain a
back up copy of that original P2 data. Which method you chose is up to you, just be sure to think
your workflow through first.
