Managing/Editing Clips using a Computer
You can import clips to your computer, manage them on your computer, and edit them in a nonlinear editing system using a card reader (option) or the mass storage mode of the unit.
Using a card reader (option)
Connect a CFexpress Type A card reader or SD card reader to a computer using a USB cable, and insert a memory card into the card reader slot. The memory card is recognized as a computer extension drive. On supported computers, you can import clips faster using the mass storage mode of the unit.
Using mass storage mode
Connect the unit and computer using mass storage mode. A memory card inserted in card slot A or B of the unit is recognized as a computer extension drive.
- Connect the USB-C connector to the computer using a USB cable.
-
Turn the unit on.
A message appears on the LCD monitor/viewfinder asking whether to enable USB connection.
Note
- When [USB Tethering] – [Setting] is set to [On] on the [Network] status screen, mass storage mode cannot be used. Set [Setting] to [Off].
- The USB connection confirmation message is not displayed while another message is displayed, for example, when formatting or restoring a memory card. The confirmation message is displayed when the formatting or restoring execution ends. The USB connection confirmation message is also not displayed when the clip properties screen is displayed. The message is displayed when processing ends or when you return to the thumbnail screen.
- Turn the multi-function dial to select [Execute].
-
On Windows, check that the card is added as a removable disk in the “My Computer” window.
On Mac, check that a folder called “NO NAME” or “Untitled” (editable) is created on the desktop.
Note
-
Do not perform the following operations if the access indicator is lit red.
- Turning the unit off
- Disconnecting the power cord
- Removing the memory card
- Disconnecting the USB cable
- Operation is not guaranteed to work on all computers.
Using a nonlinear editing system
In a nonlinear editing system, editing software (option) that supports the formats recorded by the unit is required.
Use dedicated application software to save the clips you want to edit on the HDD of the computer beforehand.
