Copying a video project from CS3 on the PC to CS3 on a Mac

I am collaborating on a project with a colleague.
He has Premiere Pro CS3 on his PC and we want to put the raw Premiere file he has worked on on an external hard drive and open it on the same version (Premiere Pro CS3) on my Mac so I can do some edits to it as well. Is this possible? How do we reconcile the .avi and .mov issue? How best to copy the files so PP can find them (or ask me to locate them)? We could use an answer as soon as possible. Thank you!!

In general terms, it should not be an issue. I work on Mac Projects all of the time on my PC.
Now, two things to think of:
1.) unless this has changed, the Mac will only see a FAT-32 formatted HDD, not an NTSF. This limits you on file size to ~ 4.GB. With a program like Mac Drive (might not even be needed with most newer PC's), the PC can handle a Mac formatted external.
2.) I have no issue using .MOV's with the Animation CODEC on my PC. I'd probably convert all AVI's to that, to work on the Mac (boy, I hate typing that blasphemy, but I'll get over it). If I understand correctly, CS4.1 with the latest QT (Pro?), will now handle the ProRez Apple COCEC's. There is a recent thread that makes mention of this.
After you do the setup, you should be good to go. Now, I have only gone one way - Mac to PC, so I could well be missing something.
Good luck,
Hunt

    I am exporting my project from CS3 to Encore.  The message tells me my video file exceeds the capacity of the disc.  Any help?  In fact I have adjusted the bitrate to 4478 MB and it let me pass,  But when it goes to ENcore the message says the file exceeds 4.7 GB.  I chacked up it is true the M2V files is over 5 GB.  Why is it?  Anyone can help?  Thanks a lot!

    Hmm... let's see here...
    The Semi has taller tires, but the Ferrari has wider tires
    The Semi has 18 gear speeds, the Ferrari has a 6 speed transmission
    The Semi and the Ferrari both have a supercharger
    The Semi runs Diesel, the Ferrari runs high octane gasoline
    The Semi driver is about 6 feet above the roadway, the Ferrari driver about 6 inches
    The Semi driver has a CB, the Ferrari has a stereo with 12 speakers

  • How do I copy my video files from iPhoto to iMovie. The two   hour wait to view all in iMovie puts the kibosh on my edit time.

    How do I copy my video files from iPhoto to iMovie? The two + hour wait for thumb nails and hour long wait looking for the right videos kills the time I have to edit.

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

    Since I have installed Lion onto my iMac it's impossible to to copy any video file from the mac to an external support (ups-stick, Timecapsule). What's happened? What can I do?

    If you just did upgrade Lion, give it some time. I recall having similar problems and some articles mention heavy background work after install - such as re-indexing for Spotlight etc. I couldn't even copy from folder to folder or e.g. iphoto to folder on the same disk. Went away after a day or two though.
    I do however still have a problem with AFP access to one of the lion machines - kills it's network adaptors rather quickly. No luck solving this so far :|

    I copied a calendar item from Outlook to the Calendar app.  I can't delete it and the reminder repeats itself every few seconds.  How can I stop the reminder?  How can I delete the calendar item?

    Can you access in on icloud.com and delete the event?  If not, and force-quitting didn't help, try going to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Calendars, choose Delete from Mac when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then restart your Mac and go back and check Calendars again.

    Your MacBook Air is an Intel-based system. To download the current version (11.2.202.228),  go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and download it from there.
    If there is still a Flash issue, you can try the Google Chrome browser, which has the current Flash built into it, to see if it works any differently with the videos. It's available from https://www.google.com/chrome

    Hi Antony,
    sure you can, but you will realize a (dramatic) loss of quality, DVD is normally end-of-the-road, playback only:
    get for 20$ the Apple mpeg2 plugin
    and for free the tool Streamclip
    http://danslagle.com/mac/iMovie/tips_tricks/6010.shtml
    http://danslagle.com/mac/iMovie/tips_tricks/6018.shtml
    Streamclip allows you to export just parts of a DVD...
    hope I could be helpful

  • How do I move a video project from Encore to AIR via Flash Builder?

    I've got a rather complex video project with lots of submenus (that works as a DVD - so it is "debugged") that I need to be able to export from Encore into an app to upload on the iTunes store and Android Market. So far, I've managed to export the project via Encore's Flash output and test the results using a web browser (it works). Everything got saved in a new folder structure with an index.html file pointing to the flashdvd.swf file pointing to the AuthoredContent.xml file that actually holds all the information on the file structure (there are 99 files in the Sources subfolder) and uses the default generated Theme.xml file.
    What I need to do is to somehow import all this into Flash Builder as a project so it can become the source for the various "app" platforms. My questions are:
    1. I've got Flash Builder 4.5 - do I need to upgrade to 4.7 in order to import the project or can this be done in 4.5?
    2. Is there some intermediate step that I'm missing?
    3. Will Flash Builder be able to repackage all these files into the file specs required by each target platform (I'm assuming it will - is that a valid assumption)?
    And moving downstream a bit...
    4. Since this is a video based project with over 200 megabytes of F4V content, how will the content arrive on the end user device? Will it have to be  streamed or can it be downloaded? - this is a big issue should the app become popular and we be forced to maintain a streaming server somewhere. What about server sizing in such an event? For example: is there a way to estimate how much bandwidth is required per 1,000 instances?

    Oh, no i think i clicked Solved but it's not at all solved and i don'tt see a way to reverse it and clicked unsolved.
    I'v tried reading the Manuals but still don't see the solution. 
    I think I've misworded my question.  Perhaps i shall have to start a new question.
    What i want to know is very basic.
    How do i take a video i see on either youTube or another side and put it either on my iPod (i guess via iTunes) or put it into a document or an email??
    Do i copy some link?  Copy what exactly?  Do i click and drag something?
    I think if i knew how to get a video to iTunes I could be able to sync it. 
    But i don't know the first thing, how to get a video onto iTunes, or email, or a document.
    Thank you both.

  • Importing Video Files from DVD and the net onto final cut express 4

    2 questions:
    1st: Ive imported a video file downloaded from the net to practice editing, but once I have done that, the video file has no audio? how do I get the audio for those files?
    2nd: I had ripped some video files from my university film project onto my laptop, but I cant Import the files into final cut express to further edit it (because it was a group project), because its the wrong format and stuff. How do I fix this and allow it to be imported?
    Any help is greatly appreciated
    Cheers

    ohk cool, wat about my first problem with the sound not being imported?
    Most likely the file is multiplexed. That means the audio and video are rolled into one. Same thing applies as the other post, the file needs to be in a format that FCE recognizes. Streamclip may do it, depending on the type of file of course.

  • Feature Suggestion: Auto Copy Libraries into Project from GUI

    I'm surely not the only one to think of this but I know I would find it very useful. When going to the Libraries section in the project settings under the desired configuration, we choose from all the libraries Jdev knows about. Of course when we shuttle them over to be in the project classpath, the jar files stay where they are. Could there be an option during this operation to add them to the project? What I mean by that is to copy the jar files from their referenced location into a directory underneath the project root and then add the files into the jpr. This would be similar to what the Struts wizard asks when it says, "Would you like to copy the struts libraries into the project?". If you say yes, it does just what I described.
    I find myself more often than not wanting to control the environment on a project by project basis - regardless of what libraries are local to the workstation. This type of library management is especially useful in a team setting. When the environment JARs are tied to the project, we can put the whole thing under source control and never have to worry about not having the right libraries on our local machines. They always get downloaded with the project. Not to mention how much easier it is to upgrade Jdev without wondering where that library went that I knew worked with my project before but now is a new version bundled with the IDE.

    Welcome to the discussions,
    you can address Apple directly and leave your suggestions by using the feedback page: http://www.apple.com/support/feedback/

  • How do I copy an iMovie project from iMovie 11 to an SD card

    How do I copy/export an iMovie project from iMovie 11 to an sd card on an iMac?

    In iMovie, use SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE in the size that you want, and then specify a name and location that you can find, such as on your desktop.
    Then, in the Finder, drag the movie you just made to the SD card.

  • Video streamed from YouTube using the Apple Composite AV Cable

    I used to have video streamed from YouTube on my iPad to my TV using the Apple Composite AV Cable, this was in previous versions till the iOS 6 release, then YouTube no longer streams video through this cable :'(
    Very annoying really to miss a feature through a software upgrade!
    Please help me.

    Looks like the connector that goes into the iPad doesn't precisely connect all pins and lock the whole thing in place as well as we would think an Apple-branded product would. I discovered after four hours that if I pull my AV composite cable from the iPad without turning the iPad off (not the Apple recommended way - perhaps there's a better way, like replugging with it off?) and plugging it back in, *poof* I get video again. Now, Netflix still isn't working, but U-Tubes and photo slideshows are back with awesome-quality sound. I believe I'll get similar results when I try this on my iPhone 4.
    I guess Apple TV is really the only way to get the luxury back of being able to stay focused on your entertainment and not this equipment because this was spozed to be a movie nite for me four hous ago. I just wish Apple TV had as much content as the Roku.
    Anyway, just plug and re-plug, but don't be too hard on it. You might also have to turn widescreen off and back on again.

  • How to migrate projects from CS3 to CS4? (Version Cue)

    First of all, I tried to follow the steps here by 'Markus_Jasker' http://forums.adobe.com/thread/313661?tstart=30.
    We are primarily a windows shop, with a small group of Mac artists. We have an Xserve with Version Cue 3.
    All the artists use CS3. One of the artists upgraded to CS4. The user primarily cares about his InDesign files.
    We were unsure whether the CS3 people could see the Version Cue 4 server on the Xserve, so we grabbed an extra
    G5 lying around (Mac OS X Version 10.4.11) and installed Version Cue 4 on it.
    Even though I turned off both VC Servers, and copied the 'com.adobe.versioncue.migration_3.1.2' folder from Version Cue 4
    to Version Cue 3 and restarted both servers, I still get the message "unable to connect to Version Cue CS3 Server etc etc."
    The Xserve is on 10.5.1.x and the G5 is 10.5.2.x with a 255.255.252.0 mask.
    I am primarily a windows admin, so I need some help!

    Hi,
    It has been a while since I have had access to sun one studio 5. If I remember correctly, it was based on Netbeans 3.5.1. It turns out the Sun Java Studio Enterprise 7 release was based on Netbeans 3.6. Both of these Netbeans versions used mounted filesystems rather than the new project system. There is a migration guide from JSE 7 to JSE 8 available:
    http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jsenterprise/reference/techart/jse8/intro_migration_jse8.html
    I think this migration guide will apply to your situation as well.
    Let me know if this helps.
    Thanks,
    George
