If it’s your first import into Final Cut Pro for Mac
The first time you open Final Cut Pro, it contains no media and one library containing a single event. You can import media into the event from your Mac, a storage device, or a connected camera.
In the Final Cut Pro main window, click Import Media.
Follow the instructions for importing files from a file-based camera, from your Mac or storage device, or from iPhone or iPad.
For more ways to import media, see Intro to importing media.
To start editing, create a new project.
