Can go between editing a project on two versions of FCP?

Specifically, FCP 6 and an older version of FCP Express?

Right, forgot to add that. FCE doesn't use XML, does it? Because if so, he could use that...

  • Why can't i edit my project in imovie anymore??  (over 1 hr long) - is this a bug ?

    why can't i edit my project in imovie anymore??  (over 1 hr long) - is this a bug ?

    Hi
    There is a limiting factor that's easy to miss.
    • FREE SPACE on Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk
    When this goes low then iMovie, Mac OS and all applications runs into problems. So to get a safe way to work (for me) I set a minimum that I try to never go lower than. (Sorry for strange sentence)
    I never let my Mac (Macintosh HD) go lower than 25GB free space. If it does - then I move away things to an external hard disk (always Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted - as nothing else will do for VIDEO)
    Else - in iDVD Time is the limiting factor. (iMovie - I never run into any - my monster Vacation epos is >>6 hours)
    iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
    • Best Performances
    (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
    About double on DL DVDs.

  • Can I edit one project on two computers with external drive and two copies of software?

    I have two copies of premiere elements. One on IMac and one on Macbook. Video files on external drive. I want to be able to edit same project on both. I originally started the project on macbook but IMac doesn't see the exsisting project.  Can I do this? thanks for the help

    jazziegirl
    Thanks for the follow up.
    The matter of the sign in/trial version has happened to me from time to time with Premiere Elements (I worked with Windows). I supply
    the requested information and that usually takes care of that message for a long while.
    What is the status of the issue now with the MacBook Pro to iMac projects? Is that matter restricted to just one project from MacBook Pro to iMac?
    If so, on this particular one, did you try the Project Archiver/Copy Project workflow in MacBook Pro?
    As for the error message...I am not a Mac user, and consequently I am not sure I am interpreting the following correctly. But take a look to see if any of it applies

  • Is there a way to edit a project on two different versions of FCP?

    I am editing for a director who has a higher version of FCP. I don't want to upgrade because it will interfere with my work with other directors. But I'd like to be able to take the film that's now on 6.0.4 to my computer, which is running 6.0.1. I thought I'd heard somewhere about exporting an edl and being able to use that? I don't know anything about this, so if anyone can let me know if that's possible and and what the work flow is, it would be great!
    thanks

    See if there's a way with your current configuration to make this idea work:
    Clone your 2nd internal drive volume onto an external drive, then clone your boot drive volume onto the 2nd internal volume (erasing everything that's on the 2nd internal first.)
    Now you have two identical boot drives in your G5. With one of them booted, invoke Software Update, and update Final Cut to v6.0.4. Use that volume to work on this project, and when you have to work on a project that requires v6.0.1, boot to that drive volume.
    The downside is that your media files will now be on a firewire drive, but that's doable. Better yet, buy an eSATA PCI card and install it in your G5, and buy an eSATA external enclosure for your media drives. Perfect.

  • Editing same project on two computers

    Sorry if this is elementary but I would appreciate advice.
    I am cutting a project on my desktop. I did about 25% of it. I then transferred the project (all the files) to my laptop and cut some more when I was out of town. I did some new voice over on the project while cutting on my laptop.
    I am now going back home and want to resume cutting on my desktop.
    What files/folders do I have to transfer back to my desktop to keep on editing my latest cut? Do I just transfer the FCP file, and the folders marked Audio Render, Autosave Vault, Render Files, Thumbnail Cache Files, and Waveform Cache Files from my laptop and use these to replace the old ones on my desktop?
    I'm using the same version of FCP 6 on both machines.
    Thanks.

    The main thing you'll need to do is keep similar folder structures on both macs, transferring new/updated files as needed. That will help make reconnecting easier when passing the project file back and forth.
    I normally save my project files to my Dropbox, which eases the process of moving project files between multiple machines on different networks.

  • Moving a project between two versions of FCP- Home and College

    Hope someone can help. We're editing a project on an iMac at home, and a G5 at college. Our iMac is running FCP 5, the college ones are still on FCP 4. If we open the saved files, from an external HD, that we have been working on in college, we cannot then open those files in college again. We don't have version 4 to install on our machine, and the college won't buy version 5. Is there any way artound this problem, or do we have to work on the project in sections, then assemble the final peice on the iMac? We can get advice and help in college, and we need our teacher to help us with certain sections, so we need to be able to open up the project in college too, after we've worked on it at home.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Yeah, no XML in version 4.0 - it was introduced in 4.1 (which, unlike the upgrade from 5.0.x to 5.1, is simply a download from Apple, if the school will let you update).
    In terms of what version of XML you should use:
    Version 1 for FCP 4.1 to 4.5 (aka FCP HD)
    Version 2 for FCP 5.0.0 to FCP 5.1.1
    Version 3 for FCP 5.1.2 to 5.1.4
    (Version 4 for FCP 6.0)

  • Can I open Logic 9 projects in earlier versions of Logic?

    I will be using a Logic Express project between two Macs. One Mac will have Logic 9, and one with Logic 8. Will the same project be able work between the two versions without any hassle?
    Thanks!

    In the past Logic has not allowed older versions to open newer versions.
    It has only allowed (crappily at that) for us to open old Logic songs using newer Logic versions.
    I still have my Logic 4.8.1 for PC in storage, just in case I need it.
    Apparently Logic 8 does not open REALLY old Logic files. So much for "backwards compatibility"
    The competition, PT, allows for version 7 software to open version 8 session files.
    So it can be done. Just not with Logic...

  • How can I edit my project on two different computers?

    So I began a project on computer 1. I need to continue editing on computer 2. I emailed the document to myself and saved it onto my computer. The video for the project is coming from my phone so I have the files on both computers. When I opened the project on computer 2 to continue editing, it asked me to locate the files that we're on computer 1. How can I locate the files to the ones on computer 2?

    Find the missing media file in your project panel.  Right click on it, and choose "Link Media".
    It will open a new window in which you can navigate to the location where you saved your file on computer 2.  If you check the "Display Only Exact Name Matches", it will be easier to find.  Bear in mind that when you begin to edit on computer 2, there is no way to update computer 1, except by going through this same procedure in reverse.

  • Can I edit previous projects that I started in fcp 7 in fcp x

    I started working on a video project using the old fcp 7 but I have since updated to fcp x and was wondering if I can transfer the files to fcp x and continue where I left off?

    No, the projects are incompatible. Apple recommends that you leave FCP7 installed alongside FCPX.

  • Can't open a certain project, also having problems with FCP crashing

    I saved one of my projects as save as, but was unable to open it the second time. I could see the name of my project but it wasn't highlighted, thus making it unable for me to open. And I also was trying to log and transfer quite a few clips and FCP shut down on me and sayed that an unexpected problem has occured and had to shut down. I'm not sure why any of this is, but I sure would like to find out. Thanks.

    Have you tried double-clicking the actual project icon to see if it will open that way?
    You could also try fully deleting all the preferences like this:-

  • Edit Motion project as Motion template in FCP timeline?

    Hi,
    I'd like to know is it possible to turn basic Motion project into Motion template in Final Cut Pro timeline? If not possible I think this would be a great feature because it simply takes too much time to copy motion projects for example to 10 edits /library/motion... folder to have them accessible as templates. I know it wouldn't be possible to see preview videos this way but I wouldn't care. Motion templates are a great tool but this way a little bit too slow to use for simple text animations etc.

    In FCP, right-click the Motion project and choose open in editor. In Motion, choose save as template.

  • Can I import Events and Projects from previous versions of iMovie

    I just installed the latest version of iMovie - but I have a bunch of projects, events, etc. from previous version - going way back.  Is there a way to move those items into the new version.

    Yes.  File - Update Projects and Events.  Your iMovie 9 folders will still be available.  (I would not delete any iMovie 9 stuff untill you are happy with iMovie 10 - its quite different.)

  • How can I edit a PE 12 project on two different computers?

    I just installed Premiere Elements 12 on my Macbook Pro.  I created a test project with several video clips.  I then saved the project to an external drive to /Volumes/Media Library/Premiere Elements Projects.  I then configured all scratch disks to point to /Volumes/Media Library/Premiere Elements Projects as well.  I then used the Project Archiver utility to copy the project to this same directory.
    I then installed PE on my iMac, and opened the project.  After opening the project on my iMac, it complains that it cannot find related media files.
    How can I configure PE so I can open and edit a project on an external drive, from two different computers?
    -Thanks

    I am PC-only, so there are probably several things that are specific to a Mac, that I do not know, but I do this on my laptop and workstation all the time - both PC's.
    I set up an external HDD, so that it has the same drive letter in the OS of both computers. This is basically the same as the Mac Volume Name, but there are likely differences, that I do not know about.
    Then, I create a folder structure for my Project, with sub-folders for all media assets. I then either Capture to those, or Copy my "stock Assets" from my NAS.
    In PrE, I create New Project, in that Project folder structure, and then go to Edit>Preferences>Scratch Disks, and verify that all are set to Same As Project.
    I edit on the laptop, until I need to migrate to the workstation. I plug in that external, turn it on, and it's seen as the same drive letter, as with my laptop. I open PrE, navigate to my Project folder on the external, and Open it - all media, and all Scratch Disk files are there, with the same exact Path.
    Steve Grisetti, our MOD, uses both a PC and a Mac, so maybe he can talk about Volume Names, etc. on the Mac. I know that he does not migrate Projects to/from the PC and the Mac, as the PREL (Project) files are incompatible, but if he has two Macs, he'll be able to step you through Mac-specific issues.
    Good luck,

  • I have been editing project for two weeks and now I get ghosts of other images fromt eh project coming up in the wrong places even though the thumbnail looks right. Help.

    Help. I have been editing a project for two weeks and now it gets ghosts of ohter images from the project coming up in the wrong places. The thumbnail has the correct image but the image either does not display and its black or an old image or another one shows.

    When I have problems like this I do two things. First I shut down and restart iMovie. Sometimes that rejuggles the date. But I am sure you have been doing that in such a long project.
    The Second thing I do is delete iMovie preferences, which can get corrupted.

  • Assertion Failed with switching between editing mode of table view

    I'm writing an app that can switching between edit mode of a table view
    - in edit mode a new line appear at the bottom
    - out edit mode this line will disappear
    I used insertRowsAtIndexPath and deleteRowsAtIndexPath to achieve this effect, but then during testing, if I switching edit mode too frequently, I got an assertion failure
    Assertion failed: (cache->size >= g->size), function evictglyph_entry_fromcache, file Fonts/CGFontCache.c, line 836.
