Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 360)

Organizing Clips in the Transfer Queue
The Status column displays the transfer status of each clip in the Transfer Queue:
• Ingesting: A spinning disc indicates media is being transferred to your scratch disk.
• Paused: A still disc indicates the current clip is partially transferred.
• Error: An exclamation point indicates that ingest of the file failed. The source media for
this clip may have been unmounted or moved since the clip was added to the Transfer
Queue. Other errors, such as running out of disk space, may have occurred. You can
hold the pointer over the exclamation point to display a tooltip that identifies the error.
You can Control-click the clip that failed to ingest and use the shortcut menu to try
reingesting, or delete the clip and add it to the Transfer Queue again.
Clips are transferred one at a time in the order they appear. You can reorder clips by
dragging them above or below other clips. You can also stop the transfer of clips by
selecting them and deleting them from the Transfer Queue.
About Pausing and Stopping Transfer
Final Cut Pro does not save partially transferred media. If the Transfer Queue is in the
process of transferring a clip (or if a transfer is paused), Final Cut Pro warns you that you
will lose the partially transferred media if you do any of the following:
• Delete the clip from the Transfer Queue.
• Close the Log and Transfer window.
• Close the current Final Cut Pro project containing your logging bin.
• Quit Final Cut Pro.
Using Automatic Transfer
Final Cut Pro allows you to automatically transfer all the clips on a volume as soon as the
volume is mounted. When a volume is mounted, Final Cut Pro immediately transfers any
clips on the volume to the Transfer Queue and uses the name preset chosen from the
Name Preset pop-up menu to add logging information. Automatically transferring clips
is a convenient way of transferring many clips at once without individually adding logging
information or setting In and Out points. Final Cut Pro transfers entire clips from the
volume.
