Import into Final Cut Pro from Photos

When you import photos and video clips from Photos or another photos app into Final Cut Pro, the media is always copied into the Final Cut Pro library, regardless of your settings in Import preferences.

This is the only exception to the general rule that the media is imported using the import settings you defined in Import preferences. See Import into Final Cut Pro from your Mac or storage device.

Tip: To streamline your importing workflow, organize your photos and video clips into albums in Photos before importing into Final Cut Pro. See Create albums in Photos on Mac.

In Final Cut Pro, open the Photos, Videos, and Audio sidebar by doing one of the following:
- Choose Window > Go To > Photos, Videos, and Audio (or press Shift-Command-1).
- Click the Photos, Videos, and Audio button in the top-left corner of the Final Cut Pro window.
In the sidebar, click Photos.
Use the pop-up menus at the top of the browser to choose a category and narrow your search.
For example, choose My Albums to browse albums you created in Photos.
To use one or more photos or video clips in your project, drag the items from the browser to the timeline.
To select multiple clips, Command-click them or drag a selection rectangle around them.

Tip: If you want photos or video clips from a different photo library to appear in the sidebar, open the other photo library in the Photos app. Then, in the General pane of Photos preferences, click “Use as System Photo Library.”
