92 Chapter 6 Working With Panasonic P2 Media
Using the Transfer Queue
The Transfer Queue shows a list of clips currently queued for ingest. The status of
each clip is shown and a progress bar indicates how much of a clip’s media has
already been ingested.
You can pause or restart ingest at any time by clicking the Pause button or by pressing
Command-Control-Q.
Important: Ingesting clips always makes a copy of your media by extracting it from the
original MXF file and copying it to a new QuickTime file. For example, if you ingest 4 GB
of media from a P2 folder on your hard disk, an additional 4 GB of disk space is required
for the QuickTime movie file.
Adding Clips to the Transfer Queue for Ingest
There are many ways to add P2 clips to the Transfer Queue for ingest:
 In the Browse area, select one or more clips, then click Add Selection to Queue.
 Drag one or more clips from the Browse area to the Transfer Queue.
 Drag a P2 volume from the Browse area to the Transfer Queue. All clips on the P2
volume are added to the Transfer Queue at once.
 In the Preview area, click the Add Clip to Queue button.
Note: When you click the Add Clip to Queue button, only the clip that appears in the
Preview area is added to the Transfer Queue.
 Click in the video image in the Preview area and drag it to the Transfer Queue.
You can also drag clips from the Import Panasonic P2 window to your project in the
Browser. Those clips are automatically logged in the project and added to the Transfer
Queue, and their media is ingested.

logging bin in the Browser.
