Importing media files

Overview of importing media files

Tip: If your camera supports both the WIA and TWAIN interfaces,

the Device list contains an entry for each interface. Hover the mouse

over the entries to identify the one for the WIA interface.

4 Select the digital media files to import. To select or deselect individual

files, press and hold Ctrl while you click the files.

Note For some types of video camera, photos and videos are

stored in different folders. You can only import photos or videos

from one folder at a time. If your camera stores photos and

videos in multiple folders, you must import the photos or video

from each folder separately.

5 Select the check box for each location in which you want to save the

media files.

6 In the Rename files text box, enter a name for the selected files.

Media Import uses the text entered in this box as the beginning of the

file name for each imported media file. For example, if you are

importing multiple photos and enter “PhotoDec15,” the imported files

are named “PhotoDec15 00000,” “PhotoDec15 00001,” and so on.

7 Optional: Select the Delete files from device after transfer check

box to delete the photos from the camera after the import process is

complete.

8 To burn the files to disc after importing them, select Burn to disc.

9 Click Import Now.

Media Import imports the digital media files to the selected folder.

Note This chapter provides an overview of Media Import and

the import process, using photos as an example. For detailed

information about how to use all of the features of Media Import,
