Sample File-Based Media Workflow

The process of ingesting file-based footage is similar to importing tape-based media using the Log and Capture window, although it is often much faster because you avoid the inconveniences of tape. Here is a sample workflow to get you started with the Log and Transfer window:

Step 1: Record footage

Step 2: Choose a scratch disk and logging bin

Step 3: Mount media volumes in the Log and Transfer window

Step 4: Choose a destination codec for formats not supported natively by Final Cut Pro

Step 5: Select clips in the Browse area

Step 6: View clips in the Preview area

Step 7: Add logging information in the Logging area

Step 8: Add clips to the Transfer Queue to ingest media

Here are the detailed steps describing the workflow above:

1Record footage on file-based storage media using a device such as a Panasonic P2, XDCAM, or AVCHD camcorder.

2Connect your media device, containing your storage media, to your computer via FireWire or USB.

In the Finder, the storage media should be recognized and should appear on the desktop.

3Choose Final Cut Pro > System Settings, then click the Scratch Disks tab.

4Choose a scratch disk to determine where ingested media will be stored.

5In the Final Cut Pro Browser, choose a logging bin where ingested clips will be stored in your project.

6Choose File > Log and Transfer (or press Command-Shift-8). Any mounted volumes appear in the Browse area.

7If necessary, add additional file-based media folders from the Finder by doing one of the following:

åClick the Add Folder button in the upper-left corner of the Browse area, choose a folder, then click OK.

åDrag a folder from the Finder to the Browse area, then release the mouse button.

åFrom the Action pop-up menu in the upper-right corner of the Browse area, choose Add Custom Path, choose a folder, then click OK.

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.
