Log and transfer.

The illustrations in this chapter show examples of the Log and Transfer window ingesting P2 footage. The window may display slightly different features when ingesting other video formats.

Log and transfer menu in Final Cut ProWhen working with video cameras that record to a memory card, you will use a process called logging and transferring to get the footage into Final Cut. Logging and transferring is the process of extracting the footage into an editable format. Most video cameras record video into a compress format like H.264 or AVCHD, which is difficult or impossible to edit natively. Logging and transferring will allow you to ingest footage into Final Cut Pro in a format that is easier for Final Cut to edit.
