Importing and Writing Back Clips

Importing Clips into the Computer

You can import clips from a CF card displayed in the media panel to the computer. You can import all

the clips at once or select which clips to import. You can also select multiple CF cards to import in one

go all the clips they contain.

Importing all clips at once (Media Backup)

You can import all the clips contained in a CF card at once by backing up the CF card. When you back

up a CF card, a virtual media is created automatically.

1. In the media panel, select the CF card you want to back up (

쐃).

2. Cl

ick Backup (the Back Up Media tool, 쐇).

• You can also use the menu by clicking File > Back Up Media.

3. Only when backing up a CF card that has already been backed up previously, you will be asked

to select the type of backup you want to create.

• Select Full Backup to import all the clips again or Incremental Backup to back up only those clips

that have not been imported previously.

4. Click Ye s (쐋).

• A virtual media will be created automatically (쐏) and the clips will be copied to the local folder on

the computer.

• If in step 3 you selected the Incremental Backup option, any new clips will be copied to the folder

used for the original backup.

• Click Cancel to interrupt the operation.

• When the backup operation is completed, a confirmation dialog box will show the name

automatically given to the virtual media. (The name of the virtual media represents the date and

time of the backup operation.)

5. Click OK.

NOTES

• You can select the local folder used for backup files. Click Tools > User Configuration.

• If you prefer, you can rename virtual media later on (0 23).

• Depending on the system used (the computer’s performance specifications, transfer rate of the CF

card, etc.), importing clips can take some time.
