2. Click the Filter pop-up menu at the top of the media browser for the type of Motion
content you want to view, then choose an option:
• Installed [items]: View content that came with Final Cut Pro, and any Motion content
that is stored in the Motion Templates folder located in your Movies folder. This is
the default setting.
• [Library name]: Choose any open library to view the custom Motion content stored in
that library.
Create camera archives in Final Cut Pro
You can make a camera archive (backup copy) of the contents of your camera or
camcorder. (You can’t make an archive from a live video signal, such as the signal
produced by an iSight camera.)
Because you can import media into Final Cut Pro from an archive, archiving the media on
your device can be useful if you want to:
• Quickly empty the contents of your camera or camcorder so that you can record more
media right away, rather than wait for it to be imported into Final Cut Pro.
• Import the archived media on multiple computers without having to keep it on the
camcorder
• Keep a browsable, “near-line” archive of media from a camera without having to import
the media into Final Cut Pro
For information about importing media into Final Cut Pro from a camera archive, see Import
into Final Cut Pro from an archive or disk image.
Archive the media on your file-based camera or camcorder
1. If you want to save the archive to an external storage device, connect it to your Mac.
2. Connect the camera or camcorder to your Mac using the cable that came with the
device, and turn on the device.
See
Memory cards and cables used with Final Cut Pro.
If you’re using a camcorder, set it to PC Connect mode. The name of this transfer mode
may be different on your device. Your camcorder may automatically go into “connect”
mode if you turn it on in playback mode while it’s connected to your Mac. See the
documentation that came with your camcorder.
Note: Connecting a DVD camcorder to your Mac can cause the DVD Player app to open.
If that happens, simply close DVD Player.
