3. 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.
4. Select your device in the list of cameras on the left side of the Media Import window.
5. Click the Create Archive button at the bottom-left corner of the window.
6. In the “Create Camera Archive as” field, type a name for the archive.
7. Click the Destination pop-up menu and choose a location to save the archive, then
click OK.
Note: It’s a good idea to save your archive to a disk or partition different from the one
where you store the media files used with Final Cut Pro.
The camera archive is stored at the location you chose. You can mount the archive as if
it were a file-based camcorder and browse the archive’s contents, or you can import the
media on the camera archive
into Final Cut Pro.
