Using the Transfer Queue
The Transfer Queue shows a list of clips currently queued for ingest. The status of
each clip is shown and a progress bar indicates how much of a clip’s media has
already been ingested.
You can pause or restart ingest at any time by clicking the Pause button or by pressing
Command-Control-Q.
Important: Ingesting clips always makes a copy of your media by extracting it from the
original storage media and copying it to a new QuickTime file on your scratch disk. For
example, if you ingest 4 GB of DVCPRO HD footage from a P2 folder on your hard disk,
an additional 4 GB of disk space is required for the QuickTime movie file. In cases where
your source footage is transcoded, the resulting QuickTime movie can be significantly
larger than the original.
