Recently we left you a tutorial on chroma key extraction in Final Cut Pro X<\/a> created by MacBreak Studio. Today I bring you their second tutorial, on import options in FCP 10.1.<\/a> <\/p>\n

Importing into Final Cut has changed with the latest update(released two weeks ago<\/a>), due to the new unified library model. There are now two or three options available, depending on the type of material. <\/p>\n

For media coming from a camera card, it is possible to choose to import to a selected library (such as “managed media”) or to an external location (such as “external media”). For media already existing in a volume that is not contained in a camera file, there is a third option; instead of copying all clips to a library or external location, they can be left where they are with the option called “leave in place”. <\/p>\n

In the video tutorial you can see how all these options work in detail:<\/p>\n
