Archive the project with the capture?

When the project is done, how can we migrate the original footage
off for storage with the project attached. Right now, all my footage
is on one drive, and the projects are all on another. I'd like to archive
them together and keep the linkage in tact.
Thanks !
Steve Z

It depends on the arrangement of your assets, but you will be asked to locate an item when you open the project and be presented with a window to navigate to locate it.
Make sure to check the box to make the required asset the only one that shows - this makes life much easier. The program will then locate as many assets as it can, but may ask you to locate another asset.
You can minimise the number of stages here if you do not re-organise the files after the Collect and Copy process.

How to archive a project with files

Ok the job is done and now i would like to move the project with files from my laptop to a backup hard disk.
I saw that in project manager there is a tool to do that, but what if i already have the video files already copied to the external drive and i just want to backup the missing parts ? ( project files, previews) and how to keep files location updated with new location?
Thanks

ok I just did it, I also moved the preview files in a new folder inside the customer folder and pointed it when launching the copied project file and it works.
So it's all manual or a new clean full copy with project manager.. I wish there was an option that backup in the destination harddrive just the missing files but I can just do it manually.
Thanks!

Archive a FCP Project to DVD (with used captures only)

Is there a way to backup a project with USED Captures only.
So, the FCP file with the used captures, delteing all the unused captures.
Would be a great option to use or make correction in the future!

Backing up to DVD is probably the worst type of archive, not just because of the limited data space available but because the disks do deteriorate as a vastly increased speed compared to tape.
Even hard drives, if used for archiving and just left on a shelf can fail because they are not used!
Tape is still the best and most reliable.
We've been experimenting with Bluray data backups but of course, always have a tape back up on top of that!

What is the BEST WAY TO ARCHIVE OLD PROJECTS and related media?

Hi,
I've been running a Wedding Film-making business for the last 12 months full-time. In that time I've acquired about 4TB of Hard Drive space, but as I get more work coming in the door I'm starting to need to get rid of old Weddings and Corporates I've shot.
In the past - ie. at my old employers - I've archived the tapes in a storage room, and deleted all the captured footage. Then I'd burn the project file to a DVD or BLU-RAY depending on the job.
Now that everything is Digital, is there a good way to archive the footage without buying a million TB's of Hard Drive space (then considering keeping multiple copies for safety)???
I'm not concerned about needing to return to make changes to the projects at a later stage - these Weddings are locked and will never be changed.
Any help, suggestions, or an example of what you do would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Thomas

Well that depends, if you only keep the exported copy and not the raw footage then if someone request some sort of edit change you'd be screwed if you didn't keep all the raw footage and simply kept the exported copy. However if you know that they aren't going to request some sort of change or you let them know up front they won't be able to make anymore changes after a certian point.(For exampel after you give the finished product and it's been approved by them) you can save TONS of space by simply only archiving the exported copy for them incase they need to make them another copy for some reason.
Where I work we always backup EVERYTHING, because we have had clients call back and request raw footage (meaning un-edited footage) almost 2 years after they filmed before. So if this happens to you will probably be happy you didn't keep only a exported edited copy and that you held on to all your source media. So really unless you're just 100 percent positive that this won't ever happen or it just hasn't happened to you as of yet then you can just export the project from premiere and keep only that.
Blu-rays are a good backup option overall and like you mentioned for the amount of space you're currently using it won't be very expensive to just use hard disk. Just remember that you'll need to hook the HD's up at least 1 time per month. The reason is that it's good for them to spin every once in awhile. However in all honesty if you go with a RAID 1 setup or just simply buy two disk you won't run into to many occaisions where both disk fail at once... It hasn't ever happned to me at my job or in my personal business.
One option though that in some ways would give you the best of both worlds would be to use the project mananger feature in Premiere to save everything that is in your timeline to a project folder. (It basically saves all your footage that's in your time-line. It excludes un-used things from the bin unelss you say different) Anyways it will save you space in the end while still saving the entire project to a single folder of your chosing. Then you could export your finished program from Premiere and then burn your disc from the finished file you got and only backup your finished file to say a blu-ray disc and then backup your finished file and your saved project to your hard disc you have to archive stuff on. What used to be 150GB would now probably only be like 25-40GB max. But like I said if someone requested a major change and not something minor you'd be out in the cold... I don't use encore much though so someone else would have to answer your question about backing up a encore project... But I'd assume if you had the backed up premiere exported digital file you could just import it into encore and be ready to roll so you wouldn't really need to backup the encore project unless you make a crazy cool customized menu or something. Then if someone needed only a minor change such as graphics or something you could use your backed up project folder from premiere to make the change and then send it to encore to re-export the product with the requested minor changes.
It all really comes down to what you want to do. I'd recommend at the very least you backup your premiere project the way I described and also save the exported copy of your final project.

How can I back up project with just the used part of the clips?

Hello all... I have a FCPX project that I would like to back up.
Duplicate project is copying all of the event and all of the original clips...
In my case the original clips are 1-2 hour interviews... I use about 2-3 minutes of about 30 of them...
Back up is ridiculous...
I'm looking for more of a media manager type of back up where it just backs up the clips from the timeline and gives me maybe a bit of a handle on each clip...
Make sense?
I hope so... cause I've spent about 3 days trying to get this project on an external drive...
Not very successful so far...
SOS
Thanks!

I'm fairly sure Apple assumes most people want to keep their original footage... "forever." Media management in FCPX has received quite a lot of praise from professionals.
Everything comes down to prep and organization.
Projects are just pointers into media clips and render files. If you want to trim down your projects, go to the File menu and select Delete Project Render Files...
Deleting Event clips will kill a project no matter what. Archiving a project without the associated Event media is pointless. Best advice is to always keep your original media. That way you can reconstruct an Event later for the clips your project requires. As far as I know, there is no way to delete (to the trash) Event clip ranges.
If you know that you won't be using 90% of your footage and want to delete the extraneous original footage, I would recommend using Quicktime 7 Pro and selecting the ranges you think you'll need beforehand. This is easily accomplished by opening your original clips, setting an In and Out point (just like in FCPX) -- select Copy, then File > New and Paste. Save as a Self-Contained clip and import it into FCPX. QT7Pro does not alter the original footage (as much as possible, I imagine it has to occasionally build an intitial i-frame if your original is something like H.264, but other than that, you can't tell the difference.)
To preserve a project entirely, you will need to back up the associated Event clips as well. Those are the clips you need to worry about trimming. You should use Copy files to Final Cut Events folder on Import. You should be able to delete any transcoded media (High Quality and/or Proxy) before archiving (don't take my word as an absolute on that -- Tom probably knows for sure.) For simplicity, you should create an Event for JUST the clips you will be using for the project to backed up. That way, at the end, you can group the Event folder and the Project together for archiving (and with the smallest footprint).
You could also simply Export your (trimmed) project as H.264 (FCPX uses the highest quality settings) without titles, effects, generators or transitions to retain the portions of clips you want to save/archive and delete all the original media — and forego everything stated above. You will still have an exceptional quality source for any subsequent projects using the same material and it would be compact enough. I wouldn't archive with ProRes (except maybe Proxy... it's about the same bitrate as the H.264 generated, except I think the H.264 would still be a better choice.) Using ProRes kind of defeats the purpose of archiving.

Old projects with the *.cp extensions...

Is it possible to get an older version of Captivate (demo maybe) to upgrade very old projects with the *.cp extensions to the new one so it opens in the newer Captivate. (PC version) Thanks

Hello KDLadage
Thank you for your recommendation. I understand the challenges of managing large numbers of files on the My Files page. I also understand the need to preserve project files.
Perhaps a compromise would be to create an Archive tab under My Files. Previous versions and retired project files could then be automatically moved into this holding area when a new version is published, thus preserving the files in a separate area that is still accessible to the author.
I will submit this suggestion to our product management team to consider as a future enhancement.

I have recently received a project from someone who has already captured the footage, can I use the footage directly from the capture scratch for my new project?

Will this in any way effect my footage when working/exporting? I will be working off the same hard drive.

If all the footage played in FC to begin with and all the media is included in the capture scratch folder you should be good to go but I would check a few things.
Pull the new footage into your project and look under the compressor column. If any files are H264 or MP4 I would recommend converting these to a PR422 or another FC friendly format. Also confirm any audio only files are aiff/48Khz(not mp3 or 44.1Khz).
In my experience you can work with H264,MP4, mp3 & 44.1 in FC7 but you are almost guaranteed to have problems later.

Is it possible to link data across different/multiple PWA sites leveraging Master Project with the Subprojects feature?

A couple different questions /similar scenarios
1) Is it possible with Project Server 2010 to have several sites (http://server/pwa1 and
http://server/pwa2 for example) communicate and build a Master Project at a third (or X) site (http://server/pwa3)
2) Is it possible with Project Server 2010 to have several sites (http://server/pwa1 and
http://server/pwa2 for example) communicate and build a Master Project at one of the original sites (http://server/pwa1 (for example))
OR is there a better way to do this/more preferred way to do this.
We found this (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/projectserver/en-US/2379c3f2-6c80-46d7-8eac-3bc2ccb2d908/master-projectsubproject-with-sites-in-pwa-2010?forum=projectserver2010general)
but its not what we're looking for
3a) Issue/Example -
We want to set up a site (http://server/pwa100) for just the president of the company - all the schedules of the subsites (/pwa99 + /pwa98) create a feed into an integrated master schedule/master project with subprojects(located
in /pwa100).
3b-1) We also want to set up sub sites (http://server/pwa99 and
http://server/pwa98) for each division VPs (and specific other people). These two sites would only allow specific user's project files to be viewed by each other...
Can their project files have linkages between the two project sites (/pwa99 and /pwa98)? Meaning if user1 logs in to /pwa99 can he see a project file (given that they have permission) from /pwa98 in the same instance?
3b-2) Can they see the project file in ProjPro and/or PWA ???
3c) is it possible to have:
+ /pwa100 (pres)
++/pwa99 & /pwa98 (two vps)
+++/pwa97 & /pwa96 & /pwa95 & /pwa-etc (minions)
each rolling up to the next level (level 3 rolls up to level 2 which can roll up to level 1)

kbwrecker,
I agree with Dale. Having multiple sites will make this difficult to set up.
Not knowing how your Custom Groups/Categories have been set up, have you looked into using the "Project Permissions" feature to share projects. These permissions are 'additive' to the category permissions, so you could start out with people looking at the
projects they are authorized to via categories, and then let them share/add people as needed basis. This will also satisfy the requirement of not-loading the projects with resources..
And finally, the department and categories need not align, except that when projects from one dept are shared t another dept resource, the visibility of custom fieds will be affected.
Hope I did not go off on a tangent there :)
Prasanna Adavi,PMP,MCTS,MCITP,MCT TWitter: @prasannaadavi Blog: http://www.prasannaadavi.com
Meant to get back to this earlier - your answer is close (because its what we currently do..sort-of)
From my understanding of this issue the users are separated by department and can only see specific projects; however, when they try to share departments between users (so they can see their projects (dept a sees dept b projects)) this works - but there
is a bigger issue/main issue.
main issue: when dept B adds a new project dept. A cannot see the new project in dept B.
This can be eliviated by removing the user/s and re-adding them to the permission structure of the deptment but overall doing this several times based on user/s and projects being added it gets to be cumbersome and just plain annoying.
Any help/additional thoughts would be great

Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings

In P6 version7 not able to copy project with the baseline.

Hi,
In P6 version 7 it is not able to copy project with the baseline. It copies only the schedule.
Please help.
regards,
Baber.

Tried the solution from another thread but did not work completely (as warned) - the workaround didn't quite work for me either:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1398462?start=0&tstart=0
Ended up taking a backup, did a fresh install, created the account as the first one so that it gets the same UID as the other Mac (on which my account was the first) and restored my data - was painful but finally on track.

How do i save a project with an iLife preview once the project is already saved?

I can't seem to find a way to save a Garageband project with an iLife preview so i can open it in Logic X, iMovie etc
If you can help that'd be awesome thanks :-)

Are you using GarageBand 10?
There are no longer iLife Previews. You share a version of your song to the Media Browser instead. Use the "Share" menu, Share > Song to Media Browser.

Which cameras are compatible with the capture feature in adobe premiere pro?

My son is making stop motion videos and wants to be able to use the capture feature on adobe premiere pro where you connect your camera via USB and can capture images on your computer through your camera. I'm looking into buying him a camera and am trying to find a list of digital cameras that are compatible with this feature, he has a small fuji camera now that will not let him do so.

What the other users have said is correct. Premiere captures through FireWire or through SDI/HDMI via a 3rd party solution.
For your situation I would say the best bet is to connect you camera to your computer via USB or use a card reader and copy the entire directory to your hard drive and ingest into Premiere via Media Browser.
If you Google 'how to make stop motion in premiere pro' there are tons of great tutorials.
Best,
