How to import video from Nikon D5100 to FCPX?

I want to import video from my Nikon D5100 to FCPX. Could someone guide me step by step, pleeease? What does it mean to "shoot quicktime"?

Is there a way to import video from my Sony HDD DCR-SR47 to FCPX, even if it is not on the list of cameras supported by FCPX?

Final Cut Pro X, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

The list of supported cameras is meaningless as there are hundreds (maybe thousands) of cameras that can be used with FCP X and Apple has neither the time, money or the interest to test or list them all.


Simply insert your camera's memory card into your Mac and select Import in FCP X and you will see immediately whether your video is OK . . . and it almost certainly will be.


If your camera has no memory card, connect the camera via its USB socket to your Mac and switch the camera on.
