Selectively Importing Video from a Random-Access Device
If you don’t want to import the entire contents of your device, you can selectively
import only the video clips that you want. You can use the playback controls below
the viewer in the Import window to review the clips and decide which clips to
import. For this tutorial, it’s best to import at least 10 or 15 minutes of video to
work with.
After connecting your device to your computer as described above, do one of the
following.
To import most of the video clips:
1 Set the switch on the left side of the Import window to Manual.
2 Deselect the checkboxes below the clips you don’t want to import.
3 Click Import Checked.
4 Continue with steps 3 through 6, beginning on page 12.
To import only a few of the video clips:
1 Set the switch on the left side of the Import window to Manual.
2 Click Uncheck All.
3 Select the checkboxes below the clips you want to import.
4 Click Import Checked.
5 Continue with steps 3 through 6, beginning on page 12.
When the video is finished importing, click the Eject button next to the Camera pop-
up menu, and then turn off your camcorder and disconnect it from your computer.
