  Importing Video as a batch in Final Cut Pro

  Posted by Raymond Attipa on February 8, 2008 at 5:02 pm

  Hi,
  I am used to working on Adobe Premiere and now have converted to Final Cut Pro. When I import my video from a miniDV into Final Cut Pro, it imports it as one full clip. I would like it to recognize when i push the start/stop button on the camera and separate the entire clip in to a batch of clips. I don’t want mark the ins and outs manually since it will double the import time. It would automatically do this in Adobe Premiere but I can’t figure out how to do it in FCP.

  If it can’t be done on FCP, is there a software someone can recommend that I can purchase to have this done in OS X.

  Thanks in advace.

  After you have the entire clip in Final Cut, you can select it and choose DV Start/Stop Detection from the Mark menu.

  This will create markers for each time the camera operation was paused. You can then drag these markers to another bin to create subclips.

  For more info, you can choose Final Cut User Manual under the Help menu, then in the search field typs DV start/stop
