This plugin was created to allow you to easily transfer the clips you recorded using the camcorder to Apple's Final Cut Pro non-linear editing system.
You can transfer clips to Final Cut Pro directly from a CF card inserted into a card reader connected to your computer. If your camcorder features a USB terminal, you can also connect the camcorder to the computer using a USB cable to import clips directly from the camcorder.
