Import a spanned clip
1. If the media you want to import is on an external storage device or a memory card,
connect the device to your Mac and turn on the device.
2. In Final Cut Pro, do one of the following:
• Choose File > Import > Media (or press Command-I).
• Click the Import Media button on the left side of the toolbar.
3. In the Devices section on the left side of the Media Import window, select the storage
device (internal or external) or memory card that contains the spanned clip camera
archives.
4. Use list view at the bottom of the window to navigate to and open the camera archives.
Important: If the camera archives that make up the spanned clip are not all available,
you can import each camera archive separately. Each portion of the spanned clip is
imported as a separate clip.
If all portions of the spanned clip are available, all the mounted camera archives show
a clip with the same duration. An icon indicating that the spanned clip is complete
appears on the spanned clip.
If one or more camera archives are missing, an icon appears on the spanned clip to
indicate which part of the spanned clip is available—the beginning, middle, or end. You
can select each camera archive to see the different icons.
