Chapter 6 Working With Panasonic P2 Media 93
Organizing Clips in the Transfer Queue
The Status column displays the ingest status of each clip in the Transfer Queue:
 Ingesting: A spinning disc indicates media is being transferred to your scratch disk.
 Paused: A still disc indicates the current P2 clip is partially transferred.
 Error: An exclamation point indicates that the source media for this clip may have
been unmounted or moved since the clip was added to the Transfer Queue. Delete
the clip and add it to the Transfer Queue again.
Clips are ingested one at a time in the order they appear. You can reorder clips by
dragging them above or below other clips. You can also stop the ingest of clips by
selecting them and deleting them from the Transfer Queue.
Pausing and Stopping Ingest
Final Cut Pro does not save partially ingested media. If the Transfer Queue is in the
process of ingesting a P2 clip (or if a transfer is paused), Final Cut Pro warns you that
you will lose the partially ingested media if you do any of the following:
 Delete the P2 clip from the Transfer Queue
 Close the Import Panasonic P2 window
 Close the current Final Cut Pro project containing your logging bin
 Quit Final Cut Pro
Filenaming and Clip Naming During Ingest
When you add clips to the Transfer Queue area, Final Cut Pro checks to see if a media
file with the same name already exists in the current scratch disk folder. If a media file
with the same name already exists, Final Cut Pro modifies the name of the media file
and the resulting clip in the project using the rules described in “Incrementing Logging
Fields” on page 91.
