Chapter 4 Using the Log and Transfer Window 87
You can also drag clips from the Log and Transfer window to your project in the
Browser. Those clips are automatically logged in the project and added to the Transfer
Queue, and their media is ingested.
Organizing Clips in the Transfer Queue
The Status column displays the ingest status of each clip in the Transfer Queue:
 Ingesting: A spinning disc indicates media is being transferred to your scratch disk.
 Paused: A still disc indicates the current clip is partially transferred.
 Error: An exclamation point indicates that ingest of the file failed. The source media
for this clip may have been unmounted or moved since the clip was added to the
Transfer Queue. Other errors, such as running out of disk space, may have occurred.
You can Control-click the clip that failed to ingest and use the shortcut menu to try
reingesting, or delete the clip and add it to the Transfer Queue again.
Clips are ingested one at a time in the order they appear. You can reorder clips by
dragging them above or below other clips. You can also stop the ingest of clips by
selecting them and deleting them from the Transfer Queue.
Pausing and Stopping Ingest
Final Cut Pro does not save partially ingested media. If the Transfer Queue is in the
process of ingesting a clip (or if a transfer is paused), Final Cut Pro warns you that you
will lose the partially ingested media if you do any of the following:
 Delete the clip from the Transfer Queue.
 Close the Log and Transfer window.
 Close the current Final Cut Pro project containing your logging bin.
 Quit Final Cut Pro.
Filenaming and Clip Naming During Ingest
When you add clips to the Transfer Queue, Final Cut Pro checks to see if a media file
with the same name already exists in the current scratch disk folder. If a media file with
the same name already exists, Final Cut Pro modifies the name of the media file and
the resulting clip in the project using the rules described in “Incrementing Logging
Fields” on page 85.
