Tip #835: Create a Favorite Import Location

Larry Jordan – LarryJordan.com

There’s no limit to the number of Favorites you can create.

If you frequently go to the same storage location to import media, Final Cut has a handy shortcut that gets you there faster.

• Open the Media Import window (Shortcut: Cmd + I).
• In the center panel, navigate to display the drive or folder you want to make a favorite location.
• Drag the icon for that location in the center panel on top of the word “Favorites” in the sidebar on the left.

Poof!

I use this technique all the time.

EXTRA CREDIT

• There is no limit to the number of favorite locations you can create.
• You can create a favorite folder which is buried layers deep on any attached storage.
• To remove a favorite location, Control-click it and select “Remove from Sidebar.”
