Importing footage

Importing footage:

To import footage I inserted the SD into the back of the Mac, I was then given the option to import footage from the SD card into my gallery from which I can drag and drop footage to edit. This is a simple select and import process where you highlight the clips you wish to import and then just click "import" the process can take up to a few minutes depending on the size of the clip and the number of clips being imported. After the initial import is complete I then exited the window on to the main desktop, selected the SD card and clicked "eject" to safely remove the SD card ensuring no footage is lost and that no damage is done to the card itself. Finally after this process I went back onto "Final Cut Pro" and all my footage appeared on the left hand side allowing me to select and drag and drop any footage I want to use in my work. In addition to that in order to edit my footage I click and hold down the selected clip and drag into onto the timeline at the bottom where I can edit the video footage, this can be seen in the example below.
