Importing Samurai footage into Final Cut Pro

You can import Samurai footage into Final Cut Pro (FCP) in just a few

simple steps.

First, connect the Samurai Docking Station to your Apple Mac using the

Firewire 800 port (USB 2.0 will also work). Insert the Samurai Master

Caddy containing the disk with your footage into the Docking Station and

you will see the drive appear in your Finder window.

Start FCP and open your project (or start a new one).

The screen will look like this:

Go to the

File menu and select Import > folder:

FCP will show you a “browse” window. Look for the Samurai drive,

and click on it.

You’ll see the folders in the Samurai drive. Select the folder containing

the footage you want to import:

Click on Choose and go back to your FCP project window:

Your Scene, Shot and Take folders now appear in the project window,

ready for use in your FCP project.
