to select multiple clips to import. Also, choose the method of importing you'd like to use. "Direct Import" will immediately add the clips to your project bin, but will leave the files in their current location (ideal for editing directly from a P2 card, or from an external hard disk where you've already offloaded your clips). "Copy and Import" will immediately import the clips from their existing location into your bin, and simultaneously it will start to copy the files off of the source directory and make a duplicate on your computer's hard disk in the "Work Folder" that you specify. When the copying process is complete, EDIUS will re-link the file in your bin to the newly-copied clip. You can also choose what name will be displayed for each clip in the bin. You can choose "ClipName" to view based on the original MXF filename, or "User Clip Name" to view the clips according to the name you've assigned in the metadata. Also, you can assign a custom prefix to each import; this can be used to identify or separate clips based on "reel number" or "card number" or "day shot" or any other prefix you've decide to use to organize your footage. Using the P2 Select tool is the best way to add files to a project. The P2 Select tool will import all necessary files - audio, video, metadata, etc. - and keep them all together throughout the editing process. While it is possible to simply drag a video file from a P2 folder right to your bin, this is not recommended because only the video would be imported - audio and metadata would not automatically be imported. However, using the P2 Select tool, all components are brought in and kept together. Using "Copy and Import" allows you to copy files to your computer's hard disk, thus freeing up the P2 card, P2 Store or FireStore to be erased and used again in the field. Using "Direct Import" allows you to instantly edit up to six streams of high-definition footage right off of a P2 card. Outputting Footage: Once your project is edited, you can export the footage in a variety of ways, including directly back to a P2 card or to a "virtual card" on a hard disk or other archival media. First, choose File->Print->Print To File, or simply click on the "Export" button at the lower right corner of the playback monitor
