Copying an entire software instrument track from one project to another

Hello,
Is it possible to copy or import one entire software instrument track from one GB 3.0.2 project to another? At the moment I've got to copy a region from one project, open another project, paste it in the 2nd project, and open the other one again (which appears to close the 2nd project) to copy the second region. This is incredibly cumbersome because I can't have both projects open at the same time.
Has anyone found a less tiresome method to do this?
Thanks

The easiest work-around I can imagine is to join all regions of the track and copy that. Another option is to freeze the track, which will turn it into normal audio. You might also add your MIDI parts to the library. That will avoid the need to switch between projects, but does require one or two more actions.

  • Copy tracks from one project to another

    (Hopefully, I'm just missing something obvious. Programs like Final Cut Pro and PhotoShop make it very easy to have multiple projects open and copy and paste between them.)
    I frequently copy tracks I like from one project to another. Although it's possible to do, it seems a given that Logic doesn't not like to have more than one project open at a time. This complicates it a bit, but I just copy the track I want, close the current project and open the new one.
    I wish in the edit menu or in the track drop-down menu there was a straight forward "Copy Track" option. Since there isn't, I just select the whole track (which is essentially all the regions) and copy and then paste into new project. The problem is that it brings the content over fine, but not the track info (name, etc.)
    Is there some better way to accomplish this? I don't want to export MIDI tracks as audio, so the Export option doesn't work.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    I looked at the video again and unless they did some editing in FCP (which would have to be the case), the following frame after selecting the regions shows both gone simultaneously.
    It is quite possible of some FCP editing but as I said first you can do that very fast using two neighbor keys so it can look as one magic shot. The screen capture tools use low FPS settings for media capturing about 15 fps for example.
    I tend to occasionally put a blank track between other tracks as a separator (been doing this since the Master Tracks Pro days).
    I think you can try a little trick for doing that. You can create a "Dummy" empty region inside a folder track for example, and use the folder track(s) as separator(s). I have not tried that yet, cause I'm away of my Logic but it must work this way.

  • Move tracks from one project to another?

    I'd like to know if there's a way to move tracks (with or without inserts, automation and other stuff) from one project to another.
    I have a project containing a working mix of a song that I've spent many hours assembling. One of my bandmates sent me parts he tracked in GarageBand, two audio tracks and one track using a MIDI instrument. I imported the GB file into LE and made some edits. I'd like to bring those three tracks into my current mix.
    I understand that I can bounce each track out individually, then re-import them on new tracks in the mix project, but this means turning off all the inserts and EQ on each track and blah blah blah, it seems like there must be an easier way. Being able to directly move or import the tracks would preserve my editing flexibility in a way that bounces won't.
    Please, any suggestions may prove valuable.
    Thank you for your time.

    ...let me also re-emphasize: the GB2 file was imported and converted and tossed. I am trying to move tracks from one Logic Express project to another Logic Express project.
    Just to be perfectly clear.

  • Can you copy custom To Do List settings from one project to another?

    Using RH9. We created a number of To Do List entries for one of our Robohelp projects that we now want to use in all of our RH projects (File > Project Settings > Manage To Do List for Robohelp Project). Is it possible to copy these entries from one project to another? Or do we need to re-create the list of To Do tasks for each one of our 20+ projects?

    Hi there
    The "To Do" list items appear to be stored directly in the ProjectName.XPJ file. So theoretically it would be possible to copy them by opening one XPJ using Windows Notepad, copying them, then opening the target XPJ and pasting. However, this will likely cause a disparity between the XPJ and the .CPD. So before actually opening the project where you are copying them into, you would want to close the project and delete the CPD. Then modify the XPJ and re-open the project. A fresh CPD should then be baked up and things should be in sync.
    You might also want to submit a Wish Form to ask for an easier way to transfer custom lists. (link is always in my sig)
    Cheers... Rick

  • Editing audio from one project to another

    I'm trying to build a DVD project of different musical performances in Final Cut Pro X. The Mac I'm working with crashes every 30 minutes regardless of what I'm doing so, instead of building a monstrous timeline with two hours worth of performances on it (which will never save given the crash issues), I'm trying to build it by each song (4-6 minutes each).
    The format is: opening billboard (with performer and song listed) --> fade into performance --> performance --> fade out of performance. If I were fading the audio out after each song, it would be simple but I'm trying to keep some of the audience track going under the next billboard so it blends better. I can't seem to cut the audio at the end of the fade out and apply it to the next song without continuing to build onto the same timeline which, due to the crash issues, doesn't help me.
    Is there an audio work around that I'm missing? All I want to do is fade the audio a little past the fade effect, copy it and apply it to the beginning of the next song. Anyone?

    Just ran into the same problem myself... while I get you CAN export the audio, then import it and use anyway you like I don't think that is the point of the original poster's question.
    The voice-over clip has unique properties and as such I (and it looks like other users) would like to be able to "copy & paste" a voice-over clip from one project to another. Alternatively if I could drag and drop the voice-over clip into my Event that would be great too. Doesn't seem like an unreasonable request. Right now the famed Apple ease-of-use is missing for those of us who have recorded voice over elements we want to use in more than one project.
    Had I known iMove would not allow sharing of voice over clips within iMovie I would have recorded my voice-over clips in another application and imported them all as audio-clips. Which certainly defeats the point of the inclusion of voice-over in iMovie.
    Any solutions that work within the app without an export/import required?

  • How can i move a podcast track from one podcast to another?

    I subscribe to a number of podcasts and  recenly some of them have started downloading to new podcast folders (One of them underwent a slight name change, and the others I'm not sure why). So now, some of my podcasts have two folders: one with the old podcasts and one where the new podcast download to. I want to keep all the tracks, because I reference them from time to time, but I hate having these extra folders. Is there some way to move podcast tracks from one podcast to another so I can consolidate these tracks?

    Use export/import.

  • Can I copy clips from one project to another?  The clips are still frames captured within a video event.

    Can I copy clips from one project to another?  The clips are frames saved as stills from a video event.  I try the copy & paste but it does not seem to work.

    The video was converted into MP4 and then I could get it into iMovie events.  I had right clicked and saved farmes as stills.  ABout 50 of them,  When I tried to copy and paste those stills into another project I couldn't. They came up blank.
    I ended up going to a Genius appointment at my APPLE store this afternoon and was told that those "stills" aren't really anything. Not a .jpg or video, so the program doesn't recognize them.  So instead I'm using the Project with the 50 stills and copying other .jpgs and video into it.  (This is for a 1961 Class Reunion, so it's old stuff).  Seems to work so far.
    So bottom line seems to be I can use these stills created from a video in the project in which they were created, but no where else.  Do you know a way around this?

  • Can I convert tracks from one format to another so that the converted tracks appear in the various playlists of the originals?

    I have a large number of tracks which I should like to convert from one format to another (aiff to Apple lossless).  These tracks are distributed in a large number of playlists.  Can I convert a track or tracks from one format to another so that the converted track appears in the playlist of the original track without going through a laborious and error-prone process of converting each track individually, determining the playlist of the original, and allocating the converted version to the playlist (or playlists, because in many cases the original track exists in more than one playlist) of the original track.

    I do not believe iTunes will do this.  The files created are essentially new media files, not regarded as replacements for old files.  There may be ways to trick iTunes if you are good at editing library files but that would be more trouble than it is worth.
    You can check the site below but I do not recall having seen such a script.

    If you're into writing Applescripts you could try it.

  • How do I copy the same app folder layouts from one device to another? We have a several iphones and ipads.

    how do I copy the same app folder layout from one device to another. We have several apple devices.
    It's a challenge when syncing a device for the first time to go through all the apps and apply them back to the same folders as on your other iphone.
    I've seen suggestions of taking pictures of the correct layout, then manually applying it to the new device. Big time waister.
    What's the work around?
    Thank you

    I'm afraid there is no short workaround. One thing that you could do if you were REALLY desperate is reset your device to factory settings and then restore it from your other device's backup, but that is rather risky and you probably don't want to take your chances just for folder layouts. I would just do it manually.

  • --Any way to copy/paste clips from one project to another w/o LOSING TRANSITIONS...??

    I have CS5...
    I'm trying to speed up render/export time. I have multiple edited video's in about 15 different projects.
    I had a couple video's within one project and rendered the work area - consisting of 4 video's...then exported. It was much faster than just going to straight exporting so I wanted to do the same with all the other video's.
    Pull everything into one project - render first - and export from there but premiere doesn't copy transitions from one project to another. Is there any way to get it to copy/paste transitions??
    Thanks

    exported regularly and took 2hrs 50min's for each video....then rendered and exported - took prob around 2hrs total - including rendering/exporting.
    That seems unlikely.  If anything, the separate render/export should take slightly longer (though not that much) as you may also have to transcode the preview files (depending on your preview codec) during the render, as well as decode them for the export.  Besides adding an additional layer of compression, it also adds time.  Here's what I mean.
    Export only:
    1. Decode original media
    2. Render new frame based on sequence, effects, titles, etc.
    3. Transcode that new frame to the export codec of choice.
    Render (1-3) /Export (4-5)
    1. Decode original media.
    2. Render new frame based on sequence, effects, titles, etc.
    3. Transcode that new frame to the Preview codec (if anything less than Uncompressed, this adds time and potentially degrades quality)
    4.  Decode the rendered frame (if not Uncompressed, which adds time)
    5. Transcode that (decoded) render frame to the export codec of choice.
    So you see, the render first process has two extra steps which add time, one of which could also introduce additional artifacts (depending on your preview codec).

  • Migrate tracks from one server to another

    Hello, I've read a few guides how to migrate tracks from one server to another, but it doesn't help me.
    What I've done:
    1) I've exported my SC from SLD at my old server
    2) Then imported it at my new server
    3) Updated CMS from SLD
    4) Created a track at my new server and added imported SC
    Then I have to import my SC from old server with sources and there is some errors happens for me.
    First option: I have exported my SC from CMS, but the SCA file is about 5kB. I unzipped it and there was ARCHIVESOURCE folder but it hasn't anything seems to be my sources. That file is checked-in successfully through the transport studio, but no sources imported into DTR.
    Second option: I have exported the SCA file by using NWDS. It's exported OK, size ~1.3MB, ARCHIVESOURCE folder with mine sources. But when I try to check-in it, it fails with an error "import failed, because the sources are not contained in the archive
    Could anybody helps me to achieve my task? I stuck with source import.

    Hi Kirill,
    important to know that assembly ALWAYS uses the CONS/ACTIVE workspace for SCA generation.
    If you for instance create a change (an activity), and you activate and release it but you don't import this activity into CONS, then it won't be part of the CONS/active and then due to obvious reasons assembly won't produce the sources either (no possibility to do an explicit activation on cons level as here a force activation takes place at import, but of course the import into cons is a necessary step, because as mentioned assembly uses the cons/active).
    Can you please confirm/deny how this scenario looks like on your end?
    Thank you!
    Best Regards,
    Ervin

  • Cutting and pasting tables from one project to another

    When cutting and pasting existing tables from one project to
    another, the line weights for the cell borders seem to vary at
    random - some are the original line weight and some are heavier
    when pasted.
    I've tried sorting things out with the table properties
    dialogue, but to no effect.
    Is there a quick fix, or am I better importing in whole
    topics and then editing the imported topic?

    Hi Colum/Peter,
    It's not a custom table, I just need to copy an existing
    table from one project to another.
    My blasted developers (may the fleas of a thousand camels,
    etc), just decided to change the toolbars in one of our
    applications. As this toolbar appears in slightly different guises
    in about 6 tabs, I was trying to update the table that shows what
    icon does what and cut and paste that table into all the sub
    projects I have. Each table then only needs a minor edit for a few
    icons specific to that sub-project.
    Peter's on the right track. When I cut and pasted the table
    it also pasted in a number of lines of HTML associated with the
    styles in the other project. If I delete those lines, the table
    then appears as it should.
    Thanks for prompt response

  • Moving a Clip From One Project to Another

    How do you move a clip from one project to another keeping the sound clip and title that was used on that clip?

    As far as I can tell, you can COPY all, or some, of the video clips (and stills) with transitions and FX and PASTE into a different Project. But you can't copy titles or audio tracks.
    However, you can make a QT movie of the segment you want and import it. If it's short use 8-biy uncompressed or ProRes 422.
    Or you can DUPLICATE what you need, and and new clips to the duplicate.

  • Moving Subtitles from one project to another

    To make work on a project more efficient, we started a project on one computer with only the film track for subtitling, whilst authoring the DVD on an other computer, another project.
    So, how do we move the subtitles created in one DVDSP project into another project?
    I cannot see that the subtitle stream creates its own asset, which could be imported into the authoring project, and DVDSP refuses me to copy the subtitles to past them into the "real" project and I find no export options which seem to apply.
    Humbly seeking help.

    Sorry Per - there is no direct way of moving the subs from one project to another, or exporting them directly as an asset. The very best advice is to construct subtitles outside of DVDSP as a text file which you can then import, edit, alter exactly as you want. I suspect it's beyond that point for you now, though!
    However, if you use the app 'Subtitler' then you can export an item description of your DVDSP track and extract the subtitles from it in STL format.
    Another thing to do is to export the track from one project as an asset and import it into the new project, but then replace the video and audio elements with the correct pieces that you need to use. It's a lot more messy than simply having a text file for the subs, but could get you out of a hole.

  • Can't MOVE images from one project to another: must not understand

    Greetings,
    I have two questions as a result of aperture not working the way that I have read on forums etc. and am wondering what i am doing wrong
    1) How do I MOVE images from project to project without duplicating masters or versions
    2) how do I delete versions
    All of my files are referenced.
    *1) moving from project to project*
    I have a blue folder called "NEFs." In it, I have a default project where I just dump all of my images called "00 dump." After I dump them, I organize into other projects. So, I do the following:
    • I create a new project called "2008 Thanksgiving" inside the NEFs blue folder making it a sibling to "00 dump"
    • I go back to "00 dump" select all the images that were shot over thanksgiving, and drag to the "2008 thanksgiving" folder. The images transfer fine, but when I go back to "00 dump" I see that the images have NOT actually moved, they are now sitting in both projects. How can this be? I thought that if I move images from project to project then I am actually moving the master, not replicating a version? That leads me to my next dilemma
    *2) how do I delete versions?*
    Now that I have replicated photos in my "2008 Thanksgiving" project, I want to delete them since I see them still sitting in "00 dump." I do the following:
    • select the "2008 Thanksgiving" project
    • select a number of images
    • press command + delete (this is the only way to delete a file as far as I can tell
    • popup comes up explaining that if I delete this file it will delete the master too and the reference file. So, that's exactly what it does.
    Deleting the referenced file is fine for many junk images, but in this case, I just want to delete the copied version that seems to be in two projects now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would really love a full understanding of how this structure works.
    -i

    When you drag images and the drop target is an actual little yellow project box (not a folder, and album or anything else) the images move from one project to another, if your drop target is not the actual project but something else within another project all you do is cause the version to show up there, nothing is duplicated.
    To delete a version or versions selected just use command-delete. This gets rid of the actual version not just removes it from the current album view. If it happens to be the last version of that master it will get rid of the master as well.
