Createandmanagecameraarchives
You can make a camera archive (backup copy) of the contents of your camera or
camcorder. (Note that you cannot make an archive from a live video signal, such as the
signal produced by an iSight camera.) It is recommended that you save your archive
to a disk or partition dierent from the one where you store the media les used with
Final Cut Pro.
Because you can import media into Final Cut Pro from an archive, archiving the media
on your device can be useful if you want to:
Quickly empty the contents of your camera or camcorder so that you can record Â
more media right away, rather than wait for it to import into Final Cut Pro, which can
take time.
Import the archived media on multiple computers without having to keep it on Â
the camcorder.
Keep a browsable, “near-line” archive of media from a camera without having to Â
import the media into Final Cut Pro.
See “Access media on an archive or disk image” on page 42 for information on how to
import media into Final Cut Pro from a camera archive.
Archive the media on your le-based camera or camcorder
1 If you want to save the archive to an external hard disk, connect it to your computer.
2 Connect the camera or camcorder to your computer using the cable that came with it,
and turn it on.
If you’re using a camcorder, set it to PC Connect mode. The name of this transfer mode
may be dierent on your device. Your camcorder may automatically go into “connect”
mode if you turn it on in playback mode while it’s connected to your computer. For
more information, see the documentation that came with your camcorder.
Note: Connecting a DVD camcorder to your Mac can cause the DVD Player application
to open. If that happens, simply close DVD Player.
