How to transfer Avid XPress project on PC to Premiere CS4 on laptop?

Hi,
I have the following problem: I have an Avid Xpress sytem on a PC and Premiere Pro CS4 on a laptop. I have a project on the PC that I would like to edit while travelling with the laptop - and I'm trying to work out how to transfer the project from one to the other (via an external hard drive).
I noticed that Premiere in the latest update supports AAF files, but when I export the Avid project as AAF, Premiere can read the info in the AAF file but somehow it does not recognise the associated OMF (media) files (i.e. it imports the AAF and then asks where a given OMF file is, but when you tell it, it says that the file format is not supported).
I read somewhere that an alternative would be via quicktime reference files - but the problem I see there is that if I want to transfer the media files to another drive, the quicktime reference file has no means of knowing where they are (or rather will think that they are still at the old place, because it does not ask for any location)?
Another thing may be that the original Avid OMF files might not be quite the right format for Premiere - there is also an option to export to OMF 1.0, but I'm not sure if that would help.
Any suggestions and help regarding transferring the project from one system to the other would be appreciated! Many thanks!

Um ... by basically re-doing the project ... as there's SO much added to CC since the CS6 version, the tools have changed, the available effects have changed, the underlying code has changed ... there's just so much that CC can do that can't be done in the old CS6 version.
You can try exporting an XML and importing that into CS6 ... sometimes that works better than others, it hath been stated. This is sort of like trying to put a modern engine with all the computer controlled gizmos & pollution controls & fuel injection and designed to work with a 5-speed auto transmission into a 1965 Chevelle. With the older 3-speed manual tranny. How do you do it? Rebuild everything ... both the engine & the car. Lot of work.

  • How to transfer a DPS project form one Adobe ID to another?

    Hi everyone, I have a DPS project on a old Adobe ID, and hopefully without uploading and redoing it the Folio Producer, would like to transfer it to my new one. If there an easy way?
    Thanks

    Bob, it might be helpful to prod engineering on this. I was originally told last year stuff created in pre-release/with the CB would be migrated to FP in September, and it's over half a year later, and it still has not been migrated. It's a PITA for managing older issuesl, because you have to have the old tools installed somewhere, which Adobe doesn't have available publicly.

  • How to transfer a GB project to another computer?

    I've got some projects started in GB2 on the MDD G4, that I'd like to port over to the MBP, at some point, so I can work on them while away from the house. How?
    Figured I'd grab the documents, then the audio files... but can't find the audio files.

    Hi Manuel,
    Yes you need to have EP installed for using portal eventing.
    The best way to achieve your functionality is by building these projects as DCs. Then add the second component as 'Used DC' in the first component. For whatever data you require in component B, expose corresponding nodes in the interface view. Now any time you want, you can trigger the second component and pass the data through the exposed nodes.
    In case you are not comfortable with DCs, the following links will help you :

  • How to transfer imovie '09  projects between machines?

    I was working on a project on my Air when on vacation and now can't move it back to my MacPro at home. I have tried the obvious and can get it to my desktop but the project is always greyed out when I try to import it.
    Perhaps I'm missing something simple as I haven't used i movie much (using Final Cut Express on my MacPro.

    Here is the HELP text: If this does not help you, see my next post for a workaround.
    Copying or moving a project to an external hard disk
    You can copy or move your video projects to a compatible external hard disk connected to your computer using a USB or FireWire cable.
    Moving or copying projects is useful if you want to work on a project using another computer. You can connect a hard disk containing a project to another computer that has iMovie ‘09, and then work on the project on that computer.
    Moving projects can also be useful if you want to save space on your computer’s hard disk.
    To copy or move a project to another hard disk:
    Connect a compatible external hard disk drive to your computer using a FireWire or USB 2.0 cable.
    A hard disk icon appears in the Project Library.
    NOTE:When using an external hard disk with iMovie, make sure it has been formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Select the project that you want to move or copy, and then do one of the following:
    To copy the project, drag it to the icon of the hard disk where you want to copy it, and then choose “Copy project” or “Copy project and events.”
    If you choose “Copy project,” none of the project’s video or other media is copied to the other disk. To edit the project, the computer you’re using must be connected to the hard disk that contains the media.
    If you choose “Copy project and events,” the Events are copied to the other disk.
    Either way, a copy of the Events remains in the original location, and any other projects using clips from those Events still refer to them at their original location.
    To move the project, hold down the Command key as you drag the project to the icon of the hard disk where you want to copy it, and then choose “Move project” or “Move project and events.”
    If you choose “Move project,” none of the project’s video or other media is copied to the other disk. To edit the project, the computer you’re using must be connected to the hard disk that contains the media.
    If you choose “Move project and events,” the project and the Events used in the project are moved and deleted from their original location. Any other projects using clips from those Events refer to them at their new location.
    If you’re moving a large amount of video at once, this process may take several minutes.
    You can also move or copy Events to an external hard disk.
    You can also quickly consolidate all the media used in a project onto the same disk as the project. This makes it easy to collect a complete project onto one disk that you can then edit from any computer using iMove ‘09.

  • How to transfer an FCP project to Windows Premiere Pro

    I've tried to do the XML thing, and I have gotten a project across, but unable to find the media on the drive.
    I'm using an external drive and MacDrive software on my PC, so the files are direct from the timeline. I've even used FCP's media manager.
    I know there must be a way to do this, and I'm counting on the brain power on this forum to help.
    Any suggestions are welcome.
    Happy New Year!

  • How to transfer edited FCP project back to miniDV tape

    Hi to all. I'm trying this for the 1st time, and it didn't work. I have a feeling I'm missin some connection between my Sony GV-D1000 miniDV deck and the G5 computer.
    I'm trying to get back to tape my edited version (non-compressed).
    From FCP I went to File - Print to Video. The software recognized the deck and it seemed to be recording, but when rewound the tape and played it back, nothing was there.
    Any assistance of course is highly valued and appreciated. Currently, I'm connected to the computer via a firewire cable (to the back of the deck with a DV connection.

    Make sure you can SEE it on the Deck first.
    Shane's Stock Answer #8:
    A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
    Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
    Then go View > External video > all frames
    Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
    Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
    Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
    If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
    1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
    2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
    3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
    4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
    5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
    6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
    If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

  • HT1688 How to transfer photos and videos from my iphone to my pc laptop?

    Hi,
    I have a pc laptop and a iphone 3GS. How do I transfer the photos and videos from my iphone to my pc?
    Please help.
    Thank you!

    I've seen posts before from users that report their computer suddenly stopped seeing new photos on their device.  I'm not sure what the solution would be though.  At least we know it's not a connectivity or usb device driver issue.
    You could try transferring your photos (and videos) to your computer wirelessly using an app like PhotoSync.  Once transferred, delete them from your phone to eliminate a possible data corruption issue that may be causing this problem.  Then, if you still want the photos on your phone, you could then transfer them back using PhotoSync.

  • HT201317 how to transfer OLD my photo stream photos from ipad2 to my laptop

    I am trying to transfer all of my My Photo Stream photos from my ipad 2 to my windows laptop. A few of them did transfer, but the majority did not. I have seen posts that say this has happened to them, but no direct answer as to why or how to get them ALL to tranfer?? If that for some reason cannot be done, does anyone have any advice as to how to hook up my ipad2 to some type of device and print them off on a printer?? Is that even possible?? My basic problem is I do not want to lose some special photos that are on my photo stream. If I ever update my ipad2 again, it will obviously wipe them all out. Which make absolutely NO SENSE to me. I just want to save my photos somewhere other than icloud, BUT that is where they are stored??? This is exhausting to say the least!!! Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Just to add to my above dilemma...they were initially on my iphone and on my ipad until an update was done on my phone and to my surprise, my backup icloud was not "on" on my phone, BUT it was on my ipad2 so at least they weren't gone FOREVER. I am scared to update ANYTHING on any of my Apple devices for fear of losing what I already have on them. That also makes no sense...but here I am asking anyway.
