However, this is only part of the story. Depending on the type of media you’re ingesting,
other applications such as Cinema Tools and Color might play a part in the ingest process.
Workflows for ingesting film-originated media, in particular, can be more involved
depending on how important it is to be able to match back to the original film negative
and whether the film negative was transferred to videotape or DPX or Cineon image
sequences. The following flow chart illustrates the different paths media might take into
Final Cut Pro.

You can also import video, audio, and still-image files directly into other Final Cut Studio
applications such as Motion and Soundtrack Pro, but video capture and transfer is limited
to Final Cut Pro, and audio capture is limited to Final Cut Pro and Soundtrack Pro.
