About the Additional Items Found Dialog

When you start batch capturing, Final Cut Pro verifies the master clip status of all selected
clips. If any selected clips are independent (meaning they have no master clips or are not
master clips themselves), Final Cut Pro checks all currently opened projects to see if there
are any other clips outside of your current selection that refer to the same media files.
This includes clips in other open projects, and clips in the same project that refer to the
same media files but are not in your current selection. If additional clips are found, the
Additional Items Found dialog appears.

For example, suppose you have a bin containing one sequence and twenty offline clips.
If you used some of the Browser clips in your sequence, the sequence clips refer to the
same media files as the corresponding Browser clips. If you select the sequence and
choose File > Batch Capture, the Additional Items Found dialog appears because some
of the Browser clips refer to the same media files as clips in the sequence.

If you click Add, the Browser clips that refer to the same media files as sequence clips are
added to the selected items before batch capturing starts. Each media file is captured
only once, but both Browser and sequence clips will be reconnected to the new media
files after the batch capture is complete. If you don’t click Add, only the sequence clips
are connected to the new media files, and the Browser clips remain offline (unconnected
to the new media files).

The Additional Items Found dialog contains the following options:

Add: Click this button so Final Cut Pro automatically adds additional clips outside the

selection to your current batch capture. After capture, those clips reference the new
media files.

Continue: Click this button to ignore the additional clips in other open projects (and

thus not reconnect them to the newly captured media files). The clips Final Cut Pro
finds are ignored and the batch capture is restricted to the clips you originally selected.

Abort: Final Cut Pro stops the batch capture process.
