Chapter 4 Using the Log and Transfer Window 81
ÂMedia map indicators: Indicate how much of a clip’s media has been ingested into
the current project. Before you ingest any media into a project, all the media map
indicators are empty. If you ingest a portion of media from a clip on a volume, that
segment is added to the project as a clip, and the corresponding media map
indicator has a partially filled icon. If you create a new project or close the current
one, the media map indicator for that clip becomes empty again.
Media map indicators have three states:
ÂEmpty: No media has been ingested.
ÂPartial: At least one frame, but not all frames, has been ingested.
ÂComplete: All of the media for the clip has been ingested.
ÂThumbnail Resize slider: Adjust the slider to change the size of clip thumbnails. Click
the large or small thumbnail button to jump to the largest and smallest thumbnail
sizes, respectively.
ÂAdd Selection to Queue button: Click this button to add the currently selected clips in
the Browse area to the Transfer Queue for ingest.
Adding Volumes and Folders to the Browse Area
Mounted volumes appear automatically in the Browse area when you open the Log and
Transfer window. You can add folders with valid folder structures by clicking the Add
Folder button and then choosing the folder that you want. You can also add a folder by
dragging it from the Finder to the Browse area.
Selecting Clips in the Browse Area
Final Cut Pro treats the selected clips in the Browse area as a continuous entity that you
can navigate through using the transport controls in the Preview area. For example, if
you have two clips selected in the Browse area, when the playhead reaches the end of
the first selected clip, it continues playing the second clip. For more information, see
“Transport Controls in the Preview Area” on page 83.
You can select clips in the Browse area by clicking anywhere in the row containing the
clip’s name. You can select a range of clips by clicking one clip and then Shift-clicking a
second clip. Command-click clips to add or remove them from the current selection.
You can select all clips in the Browse area by choosing Edit > Select All (or pressing
Command-A). You can deselect all clips by choosing Edit > Deselect All (or pressing
Command-Shift-A).
