You can also decide to exclude audio and or video tracks from the ingest at this time by using the "Import Settings" tab. This is also a reference to my previous statement about only bringing in what is necessary. If the shot is "MOS" (Mute On Sound), there is no reason to capture the audio. Save disk space and editing time by eliminating it on import. To ingest a clip, simply drag the clip(s) to the Queue portion of the window, or select "Add to Queue" from the right side of the screen. At this time, you may decide to rename the clip with something more descriptive. This will save valuable time in the edit. I have found by reviewing each clip from the P2 card, I can eliminate the unwanted takes quickly, and save tremendous time in the edit. P2 needs a different thought process than "digitize it all and sort it out later." If you heed this advice, your editing will go smoothly. The ingest process in FCP is a background process. This means that you can place the Import P2 window in the background and continue to edit as the clips are ingested. The clips will show up in the designated logging bin as soon as they are available. I recommend sending the import window to the dock to avoid confusion.
