Copying tracks and content between projects

I have 4 different projects in Logic 8 and I want to combine them all together into one big project including the tracks and automation data. Is this possible?. I have tried OMF/AAF and all the imoprt options but with only limited success(ie vol automation is copied but not pan and stereo files are force split).
thanks for looking
Gareth

I had the same question awhile back and the answer I got .... of course in a round about way.... was no. Everyone was saying to bounce the file and then import that into the session. I mean that works but its not ideal. Its things like this that really split me on Pro Tools and Logic.

Time stretching when copying and pasting between projects

I have had 18 separate instrument tracks of a live gig recorded in pro tools, so I simply imported the audio files into logic. I am also using the audio from a video camera to capture the reverb of the hall. The problem is that the audio files are 3 hours long and I would like to mix each song separately. To do this I would like to have a project for each song.
So I have cut the files up into their respective songs, the problem comes when I try and copy the tracks into a new project. The audio files get stretched making the tuning and tempo lower. I have tried copying and pasting as well as dragging the files over to the new project one at a time. I have also checked that the sample rates are the same, which they are.
Does anyone know why logic would be doing this? Are there any fixes you can recommend?
Thanks,
Dave

The sample rates of the files may be the same, while those of the projects may not.
Really, if it's slower and lower, by just about a semitone, then you're definitely playing a 48kHz file in a 44.1kHz project.

Using Clipmate to copy and paste between projects

Thanks to Robert Johnston for the inspiration (and perspiration) for this method for copying and pasting between PE projects. One residual side effect of the method is that the audio and video of the copied clips will be unlinked. The renaming folders business is a workaround to avoid the silent audio problem after a project has been saved and reloaded.
1. Rename the folders of all audio files (including AVI files) used in the project to be copied.
2. Start PE and load in the project to be copied.
3. When asked, tell PE where the missing files are. (Check the box marked "Display Only Exact Name Matches".) Press Select.
4. Highlight parts (or all) of the project to be copied, in the timeline.
5. Copy the highlighted parts.
6. Copy into Clipmate:
6.1 Edit > Capture Special
6.2 Check both items in the list
6.3 OK
7. Close PE without saving.
8. Rename the folders of the audio files back again.
9. Open destination project in PE.
10. Re-select the copied info in Clipmate (closing the project in PE caused the clipboard to be cleared):
10.1 Select anything in the Clipmate list except the wanted item.
10.2 Select the wanted item (selecting an item loads it onto the clipboard).
11. Position the CTI to the wanted insertion point.
12. Do Edit > Paste Insert.
13. The pasted items will be highlighted in Media Panel. While still highlighted, select the Media Panel and do: Edit > Locate Media.
14. Tell PE where the files are.
15. Save project.

When combining projects, it is best to do your pruning of unwanted clips and other resources BEFORE you combine them, because once the Media Panel gets heavily loaded, PE is liable to crash.
Deleting the unused resources in Media Panel is quite easy in PE3 and PE4. Simply click on the "used" column heading, and the resources will be sorted into two groups of used and unused. Just click on the resource at one end of the unused range and shift click on the resource at the other end to select the whole range, then press delete. (Note that shift works normally in this panel, unlike in the timeline!) However, it is not strictly necessary to delete unused resources before copying and pasting because only resources selected on the timeline will be copied. PE will load and save a lot quicker if unwanted resources are deleted.
My feeling is that PE4 is somewhat more unstable than PE3, but I haven't done a proper direct comparison. For some reason after a crash the autosave often doesn't seem to have done its job properly, even though I set it to save every 10 mins. So make use of the Save button Adobe gave back to us in PE4 and save often, particularly before you use the titler or fiddle with the Media Panel.

Copy and paste between projects???

Hello,
iMovie '09 allows users to copy and paste clips between projects, but it do so with affecting quality. I mean is it the same as dragging clips from Events?
NOTE: I won't be home to check this for a week and I'm trying to help a friend via e-mail. So any help would be great.
Thank you.

It does not affect quality. When you copy a clip from a project, you are copying a reference to certain frames in an event.

Copy and Paste between projects not keeping 16:9 ratio?

I wanted to combine two iMovie project files, and I have tried to do an import (gives a -43 Quicktime error), so then I just tried the Copy/Paste feature. It works (ie: brings in my video) with the transitions/effects (ken burns) still applied, but it will only display as a 4:3 video.
I have turned off the Automatic DV Pillarbox setting, but it still is doing it. Any ideas or am I just out of luck on this one?
Eric
PS: I know I can just export the files to a full DV image, but I was hoping to keep it intact so I can edit all the Ken Burns/transitions later.

when I export to DV, it still doesn't look as good as when I go straight from iMovie6 to iDVD?
Doesn't look as good where? Remember that iMovie display is only a preview. Also QT Player defaults to low-res display of DV clips.
I am using Expert Settings
iMovie's expert settings are buggy so use the Full Quality preset instead.

How do I copy links and content from 1 tab and paste them in another?

I'm trying to do my homework, which requires me to post where exactly I got the information. I need to copy web links listed in one tab and paste them into my blog in the other tab.

You can copy the full URL for the page you're viewing from the Awesome Bar:
CTRL</> + L selects the full contents of the Awesome Bar (including http, etc. headers).
For Windows:
Copy with CTRL + C and paste with CTRL + V.

How to copying, comparing and control large projects with deeply arranged directory tree?

MacBook Pro, Redina, Mid 2012.
When copying large projects with su and sub-subdirectories some files are copied with 0-data and other files are not at all.
Is there a command to copy and compare files with deeply branched directory?
To copy level by level of the directory is very time-consuming.

Hi,
Its good that u pasted the complete log file. In your environment you have to run this upgrade tool only once from any of the middle tier.
And with respect to your error that u got in precheck is quite simple. All u have to do is just run this script from by connecting to portal schema using sqlplus.
Run dropupg.sql
Location-------- /raid/product/OraHome_1/upgrade/temp/portal/prechktmp/dropupg.sql
Later you re-run the upgrade tool and let me know the status.
Good luck

Moving time and cost between projects

HI,
We have couple of projects that were classified incorrectly and are not getting capitalized, the client does not want to re enter the time by entering time to a new project and want us to transfer the time and cost to the correct project.
Is there any way that we can achive this?
Thanks

Hi,
You can transfer the cost and timecards from your current project to new project by using the following navigation
Expenditure Inquiry -> Query for expenditures -> Then go to Tools and select the Transfers option.
Enter the Project Number and Task number.
Transfer the expenditures to new project.
Run the Distribution process.
So cost will be distributed in new project and reversal entries will created against old project.
Thanks,
Sreenath

Copy Faces and Places between libraries

I am new to Aperture 3. I am creating libraries for our camping trips. Each library will hold well over 1000 photos. I know how to use Faces and Places - the question is, when I start a new library at the end of this year, is there any way I can copy the Faces data at least over to the new library so I won't have to go through identifying everyone again? iPhoto, and now Aperture, have gotten pretty good at identifying who is who. I would hate to have to re-train it every time I open a new library with many of the same players in it.
Thanks.
Wayne

It gives me space on my hard drive. I am new to Aperture, so I am open to other suggestions, but once I get several gig of photos in one library, most of which is for archival use not active use, I move the library to one of my external hard drives - still have access to it but it's not on my hard drive. So far, I have created a new library with 5 years' worth of photos in it. So that's the issue. I know Aperture could fill my entire hard drive and still function. I just like to have room for other apps to work.

Copying/pasting tracks between projects

Hi guys,
I have three BIG projects, all called "Master Idea Session" 1 2 and 3, which have perhaps 50 tracks, each representing a different song idea.
I can't seem to copy/cut/paste tracks between projects.
Is there a workaround? Could I for example merge all three project files into one big copy, and then go through it and erase what's not needed? Or is there an obvious solution or a way to copy and paste between projects? Is there any way to have more than one project open simultaneously?
What I'm aiming to do is: go through all 150 ideas, find the ones that could actually be turned into songs, and copy 15 or so of the best ones to one project file. That file will be essentially 15 different songs on 15 different tracks that my bandmate(s) can intelligibly go through to see where I'm at. (To be annoyingly clear, they would probably keep all the tracks muted and unmute one to hear a single idea).
Any ideas?
Thank you!
Alec

How do I share a compound clip between projects?...

Hello everyone,
I have created a 10 second intro/title graphic clip in Motion and published it to FCPX. I have added this generator sequence to a project's timeline in FCPX. I then added a lower third title set. I have edited my text (font, style, etc) of my lower third text to where I want it. I then created a compound clip of the two parts (title generator and the lower third text element).
Now that it is dialed in, I need to be able to use it as a template for a series of videos I am working on. I can't seem to find a way to save it and make it availible to drop into other project sequences. I have tried to make a favourite out of the clip, I tried to copy and paste between projects (and into a new event)... nothing works fo rme.
What am I missing?
Any help is appreciated, thank you,
Shea A.J. Comfort

Hi Andy
Thank you for the advice.
I tried your method but there definitely seems to be a fault or glitch in my software. If I highlight a number of connected clips and audio tracks the program will not copy and paste them into the newly created compound clip in my event library.
I therefore decided to do it the slow ay and copy each individual item. This worked fine until I came to the final audio track. No matter how many times I copy this track Final Cut refuses to do this. It always comes up with the previous item I copied. I have retried this and it will copy all the items except one. As you would expect I have done a fair amount of work on this track in the form of equyalisation, a comnpression filter and numerous keyframes on the level to come out with a mix that I am happy with. I cannot however move it from the original project.
I find this totally unacceptable and consider the software to be unfit for purpose as a result. Unfortunately the apple terms and conditions state that all purchases are final and I have no recourse upon them for the fact that it does not work.
I cannot see how an update will fix a problem with my software that is not universal to all users. I believe that I can reinstall it without being charged again but am hesitant to do this for fear of losing the large amount of work that I have put into the project.
My only hope now is to ring the premium rate number for customer support in the unlikely hope that it can be solved this way.
Not Happy

? about copying a track and its contents

hi,
In a number of threads, i have read "create a transport connection between the tracks". Is this the same procedure as creating the original track, i.e., checking in the archives, doing imports, etc. in transport studio? I
If not, can the content actually be captured in a transport on disk and reimported to a new track? If this is the case, can someone point me to where in the docs this is explained?
I want to make certain that i am not missing something important here.
Sincerely,
Steven

Hi Steven,
Copy track definition:
With the help of CMS "Save as" button you can simply a create a copy of a track with the same track definitions.
Content copy:
To copy the contents, that is filling of the track can be done in various ways:
1) Forward the latest assembled SCs from the source track to the new target track
2) Download the SCAs from the source track to FS and then manually check in.
This link below can give you some information on creating a second track. You may go through how to perform layered development>preparing the development for layered development>creating a domain and first track in CMS--> her you will find info on creating second track, connecting tracks etc.

Track connections:
This is basically to avoid double maintenance. You can a detailed idea about track connections here:

Why do I keep losing audio/recorded tracks and SFX in my projects? I have tried: Saving as archive file/searching package contents etc. to no avail. Can anyone help?

Why do I keep losing audio/recorded tracks and SFX in my projects? I have tried: Saving as archive file/searching package contents etc. to no avail. Can anyone help? It keeps telling me 'Audio file not found', and seems to be different tracks in the same project each time too.

I also have this problem using Garageband in a school network situation when students open their project on one station, save it to their network drive, and later open it at a different station. 90% of the time there will be no issue, but sometimes audio files are lost. (Garageband '11, iMacs)
That sounds like it might be a failure of the students to perform a Save As and check Archive Project when they do. This asks GB to pull all the files it needs into the associated .band document rather than point to them externally (and then risk not having them be there).

Why does formatting get lost when copy and pasting slides between projects?

I'm beginning to copy and paste several slides from a project that was created in Captivate 6. I've opened the project in 7.0.1 and saved it. Next, I've copy and pasted about 20-30 slides from the old project into my new template. In the process, many slides have lost "bold" and "bullets". It's worth noting that many slides have remained correct. I also find myself having to reset slide templates and toggle off quiz buttons that I've already toggled off in old project.
This isn't part of the same problem, but related. When I copy slides from the new template I mentioned into the old one (in hopes that Advanced Actions would transfer correctly), I've noticed that none of the item names have transferred over with the copy and paste. Instead of seeing the button name I've created, it changes to "shape, text_caption, etc", the default.
I'm hoping the copy pasting between projects becomes more efficient, I'm finding myself burning unneccessary time doing more QA and microscopic investigation, although I suppose more QA isn't always a bad thing.
System is the following:
OSX 10.8.5
Captivate 7.0.1
Safari 6.0.5
Blood Type: oops, wrong forum.

When copy/pasting between different versions that has always been a problem, especially with question slides. There seem always to be changes that make such a transfer difficult. Did you try to open the CP6 project first in CP7 and see what worked? And do you use exactly the same theme (object styles, master slides, skin editor)?
Copy/paste slides, objects with advanced actions: bit same problem, works best if done between CP7 projects. The problem that each object needs to have a unique ID (name) is what causes the renaming to generic names.

Copy-pasting and lifting audio between projects--no playback

Hello everyone,
Every time I copy paste or lift audio from one project to another (i.e. copy, save project 1, close, open project 2, paste), the audio works fine for that session but ceases to play back when I reopen the project later. The audio in the project media / clip selection area will work just fine, but when I double-click on the clip I pasted in the timeline, the clip preview window shows a red field and no audio. This basically means that I'm losing all the edits I made in project 1 and having to re-insert each piece of audio into the project 2 timeline and redo my edits. What's the problem? Is there any way I can copy-paste audio from one project timeline to another?
(Edit:) I'm using CS6.
Thanks very much,
Josh

It wont work that way because you are playing it out of the Clipboard. which is temporary.
Usemultiple Sequences in the same Project instead if you want to do that. to different edits
