Importing clips to edit

PostWed May 25, 2022 11:24 pm

Hi guys

Need import media help - every time I go to import media I have to import each file - file by fi. I used to be able to import all the files at once. Any way to get that back?

Thanks!

Select as many videos as you want in the finder and drag them into the media pool. (Mac)

What exactly happens if you try importing multiple files at once?

Hi Jim

It won't allow it - a yellow folder with a line thourhg it comes up as if to say "no, you can't do that" - and then I have to open each folder and import the clips separately. Last night I shot some raw footage of a blues concert and had to open each raw file to import the footage. It never used to do this.

Never seen that before, Gary. I can just drag a folder into the Media Pool and the files open. Can you post a screen shot?

Can you show us a screen shot of the error? I'm kind of at a loss here.
