Importing and Writing Back Clips Importing Clips into the Computer
You can import clips from a CF card displayed in the media panel to the computer. You can import all
the clips at once or select which clips to import. You can also select multiple CF cards to import in one
go all the clips they contain.
Importing all clips at once (Media Backup)
You can import all the clips contained in a CF card at once by backing up the CF card. When you back
up a CF card, a virtual media is created automatically.
1. In the media panel, select the CF card you want to back up ( ³ ).
2. Click Backup (the Back Up Media tool, · ).
• You can also use the menu by clicking File > Back Up Media.
3. Only when backing up a CF card that has already been backed up previously, you will be asked
to select the type of backup you want to create.
• Select Full Backup to import all the clips again or Incremental Backup to back up only those clips
that have not been imported previously.
4. Click Yes ( » ).
• A virtual media will be created automatically ( ¿ ) and the clips will be copied to the local folder on
the computer.
• If in step 3 you selected the Incremental Backup option, any new clips will be copied to the folder
used for the original backup.
• Click Cancel to interrupt the operation.
• When the backup operation is completed, a confirmation dialog box will show the name
automatically given to the virtual media. (The name of the virtual media represents the date and
time of the backup operation.)
5. Click OK.
NOTES
• You can select the local folder used for backup files. Click Canon XF Utility > Preferences.
• If you prefer, you can rename virtual media later on (0 23).
• Depending on the system used (the computer’s performance specifications, transfer rate of the CF
card, etc.), importing clips can take some time.
