4 Importing and Managing Projects
and Media
Color provides powerful tools for managing projects and
media as you work.
As mentioned in Chapter 2, “Color Correction Workflows,” on page 35, there are three
main ways you can import a project and its media. You can import (or send) XML
project data from Final Cut Pro, you can import an EDL and reconnect its media, or you
can place the media itself directly into the Timeline manually.
This chapter describes the commands and methods used to create and save projects,
import project data and media from other applications, and manage your project
within Color.
