208 Part IV Capturing and Importing
 Choose File > Import, then choose File or Folder from the submenu. (To import a file,
you can also press Command-I.) Select one or more files or folders in the dialog, then
click Choose.
 Control-click in the Browser or a bin’s window, then choose Import > Files or
Import > Folder from the shortcut menu. Select a file or folder in the dialog, then
click Choose.
 You can also drag the files or folders from your desktop to the Timeline of a sequence.
Important: Dragging media files directly to a sequence in the Timeline creates
independent clips, which have no master clips in the Browser. This can make media
management more difficult later. For more information about master-affiliate clip
relationships, see Chapter 60, “Working with Master and Affiliate Clips,” on page 943.

in the Browser).
