Import into Final Cut Pro for Mac from digital still cameras

You can import video and still images from digital still cameras. The steps below describe how to import video and still images directly into Final Cut Pro. You can also import your photos into a photos app and access them through the Photos, Videos, and Audio sidebar in Final Cut Pro.

To check whether your camera is compatible with Final Cut Pro, see the Apple Support article Cameras supported by Final Cut Pro.

Connect your camera to your Mac using the cable that came with the camera, and turn on the camera.
If your camera doesn’t appear on the left side of the Media Import window (in either the Cameras section or the Devices section), remove the camera’s memory card and insert it into the card slot on your Mac (if it has one) or into an external card reader.
In the Finder, locate the DCIM folder inside the camera folder, then locate the still-image or video files.
The files may be in the DCIM folder, or in a folder one or two levels down. Devices and file structures vary by model and manufacturer.
In Final Cut Pro, do one of the following:
- Choose File > Import > Media (or press Command-I), then follow the instructions in Import from your Mac or storage device.
- Drag the files from the Finder into an event or timeline in Final Cut Pro. The files are imported using the settings you selected in Import settings. See Import from your Mac or storage device.

After the import, you may have separate audio files that you want to use to replace the video’s audio track. To do this, you can automatically sync the video and audio clips.
