Chapter 4 Using the Log and Transfer Window 89
To reingest media for clips created in the Log and Transfer window:
1 In the Browser, select the clips whose media you want to reingest.
2 Do one of the following:
 Choose File > Batch Capture (or press Control-C).
 Make sure the Log and Transfer window is open, then drag selected clips from the
Browser to the Transfer Queue area.
3 In the dialog that appears, specify whether you want to reingest media for all selected
clips or only clips whose media files are offline, then click OK.
If Final Cut Pro cannot find media with a matching clip ID on the currently mounted
volumes, a warning appears reminding you of the clip’s Reel property. In this case,
locate the volume that contains the clip you want to reingest, add it to the Log and
Transfer window, and then repeat the steps above. For more information about adding
a volume to the Log and Transfer window, see “Adding Volumes and Folders to the
Browse Area” on page 81.
Important: Because it is so easy to make archived disk images and copied folders of
your cards, you can potentially add more than one volume containing the same clip to
the Browse area in the Log and Transfer window. This can cause unexpected results,
especially when viewing or ingesting spanned clips.
Working with Spanned Clips
A spanned clip is created any time you record a single shot that is larger than the
capacity of the current storage media unit or when the file size exceeds that allowed by
the device’s file system. For example, when a file on a P2 card exceeds a 4 GB limit, a
spanned clip is created. When this happens, the camcorder stops recording the current
media file and begins recording a new media file on a new storage media unit. The
result is a single shot that seamlessly comprises multiple media files.
Important: To ingest (or reingest) a spanned clip as a single media file, you need to
mount all of the volumes necessary for the clip. Mounting separate volumes at different
times may cause Final Cut Pro to capture only individual portions of a clip or prevent
you from capturing partial portions when other segments are missing.
