Figure 2.01: DD DRIVE Mode
Once the FS-100 is connected to the Mac in "DD DRIVE" Mode via FireWire, it
will mount to the desktop and show up as a regular hard drive. The P2 clips that
were captured on the FS-100 are now available to import into Final Cut Pro.
Now, it’s time to properly configure Final Cut Pro so that you can ingest the
footage and start editing.
STEP 3: Set Up FCP Project Preferences According to Captured Format
You have now successfully connected the FireStore FS-100 to your Final Cut Pro
workstation via FireWire. You are now ready to open Final Cut Pro and create an
Easy Setup for the particular P2 format that you intend to edit.
a) Open Final Cut Pro
b) If a previous project is open, save and close the project.
Now you are ready to define a new project with an "EASY SETUP". (Figure 3.01)
c) In the Final Cut Pro menu, go to "Final Cut Pro" and select "Easy Setup".
You will see many Easy Setups to choose from. To make things simple, you just
need to choose the setup that coincides with the actual P2 format that you
captured with the FireStore FS-100.
d) Select the appropriate EASY SETUP.
