the import begins automatically, without displaying a window of import options. You
can set automatic import options in the Final Cut Pro Import preferences pane.
Audioanalysisoptions
Final Cut Pro provides automatic analysis that can x common audio problems, analyze
and group audio channels, and remove silent channels. You can analyze audio during
import, or analyze video clips with audio issues in the Event Browser or in the Timeline.
Final Cut Pro provides these audio analysis options:
 Analyze and x audio problems: Analyzes the audio for hum, noise, and loudness.
Final Cut Pro automatically xes problems that are considered severe (marked in
red), and ags problems that are considered moderate (marked in yellow). See
“Enhance audio” on page 194 for more information.
 Separate mono and group stereo audio: Audio channels are analyzed and grouped
as dual mono or stereo, depending on the results of the analysis. Automatically
corrected audio channels are marked as Autoselected. For more information about
audio channels, see “Congure audio channels” on page 204.
 Remove silent channels: Audio channels are analyzed and silent channels are
automatically removed. Clips that have had channels removed are marked as
Autoselected. For more information about audio channels, see “Congure audio
channels” on page 204.
When you drag a media le from the Finder to a Final Cut Pro Event or Timeline, the
