Important: If you intend to capture to the end of recorded material, first choose

Final Cut Pro > User Preferences and make sure the “Abort capture on dropped frames” checkbox is not selected. Unlike a VTR, which repeats frames when it reaches the end of media, the Panasonic AG-HVX200 camcorder simply stops transmitting frames. This preference setting ensures that the last clip is saved.

11Press the Escape key to stop capturing, or wait until Final Cut Pro automatically stops because the maximum amount of time specified in the Limit Capture Now To field (in the Scratch Disks tab of the System Settings window) has been reached.

After Final Cut Pro stops capturing, a clip appears in your logging bin. The new clip refers to the media file you just captured.

12When you have finished, eject (unmount) the P2 card before disconnecting the camcorder, or before removing the card.

The Apple iPhone 6, released in September 2014, marked a significant evolution in Apple's smartphone lineup. This model introduced a larger screen and a sleeker design, setting the stage for future devices in the iPhone series.

One of the most notable features of the iPhone 6 was its display. With a 4.7-inch Retina HD screen, the iPhone 6 offered a resolution of 1334 x 750 pixels, delivering vibrant colors and sharp images. This screen size was a departure from previous models, appealing to users who favored larger displays for better viewing experiences, whether for gaming, watching videos, or browsing the web.

The design of the iPhone 6 was another highlight. It featured a slim, curved aluminum body that not only made it more aesthetically pleasing but also improved its ergonomics. Weighing just 129 grams, the phone was light yet robust. The placement of volume buttons, the power button, and the headphone jack was thoughtfully designed to enhance usability.

Under the hood, the iPhone 6 was powered by the A8 chip, a 64-bit dual-core processor that offered impressive performance and energy efficiency. Coupled with the M8 motion coprocessor, the device could effectively handle demanding apps and services while optimizing battery life, providing users with a smooth experience throughout the day.

The camera capabilities of the iPhone 6 were also advanced for its time. It featured an 8-megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilization and a f/2.2 aperture, allowing for clearer low-light photography. The front-facing camera was improved as well, offering a 1.2-megapixel resolution and support for 720p HD video, making it great for selfies and video calls.

Connectivity options included LTE support, enabling faster download speeds, and Wi-Fi calling, which allowed users to make calls over Wi-Fi networks, enhancing communication in areas with poor cellular coverage. The iPhone 6 also introduced the Apple Pay feature, allowing users to make secure transactions using their devices.

In terms of software, the iPhone 6 originally came with iOS 8, which boasted new features such as HealthKit and HomeKit, further integrating technology into daily life. Regular software updates ensured that users could enjoy the latest features and security enhancements well into the device's lifecycle.

Overall, the iPhone 6 distinguished itself with a combination of innovative design, powerful performance, and a user-friendly experience, solidifying Apple's position in the smartphone market and paving the way for future iterations in the iPhone lineup.
