FCP Import window - Thumbnail view
Not much of a question, but a working hack for Thumnail view while importing! My workflow doesn't imply copying and keeping my camera card folder structure and its the only way to have a thumbnail view in FCP import window.
So I had made my peace with it and used the metadata to review my import priorities. But using older footage in new project was a pain, because you want to import only some of the stuff and easily scan it visually.
Turns out, if you create a empty folder named "CLIP" at the root of your footage, FCP detects it as a card structure. Example, I have drone shots organized in different folders, so now I've just put an empty "CLIP" folder in the Drone 1, Drone 2, Drone 3 folders and I magically have thumbnail view in FCP!
With the white bar of already imported clip and the possibility to import with INs and OUTs.
