• Choosing a Scratch Disk and Logging Bin (p. 351)
• Mounting Media Devices (p. 351)
• Mounting Media Volumes in the Log and Transfer Window (p. 352)
• Choosing a Destination Codec (p. 353)
• Viewing Clips to Be Transferred (p. 353)

The process of transferring file-based media is similar to that of capturing tape-based
footage using the Log and Capture window, although it is often much faster because
you avoid the inconveniences of tape. After you record your media using a device such
as a Panasonic P2, XDCAM, or AVCHD camcorder, you can connect the device to your
computer and transfer the media into Final Cut Pro using the Log and Transfer window.
