SR-12 workflow help

[sharksdelight]

I know nothing of the SR12 but just came back from filming the great whites at Guadelupe where a friend had bought that cam for his wife. He was using a Mac Pro laptop and Final Cut Pro but was unfamiliar with anything in FCP. The only cable he had with him was a cam firewire cable of some sort to USB which went into his laptop. I didn't think that would work as USB is so slow. Was he using the correct cable for the 12? Then I showed him how to go to the Log and Transfer window, but it seemed as if he could only queue up whole clips. His in and out point controls were grayed out. Once a clip was added to the queue, the spinning wheel of death came on. A force quit showed me that FC was unresponding.
If you know, could you provide a step by step workflow for ingesting his footage so that I can share this with him. I would very much appreciate it.

the Steps to transfer files from cam to Final Cut:
Arrived as USB cable from the cam to the computer
Open Final Cut
Chosen from a file log and transfer
