XDCAM Workflow in Final Cut Pro
45
Copying Media from the Next Card
1–
Insert the next card into the SxS Card Reader.
2– In the upper window, navigate to this card (in this example, named “Card 2”).
3– Select the spanned clip from the second card (upper window) and drag to the
lower window. A dialog box will appear:
4– Select Yes (or press Enter).
5– As the media from the second card is copied, Clip Browser automatically creates
new metadata that effectively makes the spanned clips behave as a single clip
(note that the Spanned Clip Icon is no longer displayed).
Note: Although the example above depicts placing Spanned Clips in a separate folder,
all clip types may be freely intermingled in a single target folder.
In a workflow where the entire contents of all cards are archived to a single
location on a hard disc prior to import to FCP, the joining of Spanned Clips occurs
automatically.
