Sorry if this is a dumb question, but can anyone explain the benefit of importing files into Pinnacle? Seems like an extra unnecessary step. I have been connecting my camera to the computer, opening the H: drive on the computer (Canon hard drive), and dragging the clips I want into my timeline.
I did try importing files once, but it took a long time and my video files were in a random order which made it difficult to find the ones I was looking for quickly. My files are in nice chronological order in my H drive which makes it much easier for me to just drag them in from there and skip importing.
As a related question, does anybody know how to organize my imported files by date? I have 350 video clips spread out over a year's worth of recording that I need to burn to DVD. Like I said before, when I imported them, the files were in complete random order in my import area.
