by Many of today’s DSLR (digital single-lens reflex) cameras can shoot not only great images, but also outstanding high-definition video. And when you’re ready to edit video that you’ve shot with a DSLR, Final Cut Pro X makes browsing, selecting, importing, and backing up your media—both video and stills—fast and easy, even if you’ve already used another application to move the media onto the computer. Let’s take a look at the options you have for importing media shot with a DSLR into Final Cut Pro X.
First, to see whether your camera is compatible with Final Cut Pro X, check this chart on Apple’s website.
Connection options
You can directly import media from most popular DSLRs into Final Cut Pro, either by connecting your camera directly to your Mac with a USB cable or by taking the media card (usually a Compact Flash or Secure Digital card) from the camera and plugging it into a card reader attached to your Mac.
Either way, Final Cut Pro will recognize the media card in the attached camera or card reader, automatically launch the Media Import window, and display it at the top left corner, under the Cameras section.
