Cut/paste one project into another?

I have two tracks that I've made using Apple loops which are the basis for hypnosis CDs.
Idea was to keep the bed and paste it into new projects, which a new vocal over the top each time.
Cut and paste looks as if it works perfectly, but I can't get any sound from the two bed tracks. Is this the best way to do this and, if so, what's happened to the audio? I can hear the vocals that I recorded today and have tried switching the tracks on and off, adjusting the volume etc.
(Actually running 10.6.2 but there's no option for that yet!)

Cutting and pasting is possible in GB, but you only create referrers to the old project, so you always run a danger of losing tracks.
A better approach in your case would be to save the old project under a new name and keep working with that new version, like record a new voiceover. That will also solve your problem with the tracks that don't play (which is hard to diagnose, maybe it has something to do with ducking).

Retaining SFX and music when copying/pasting one project to another

I noticed that when I tried to copy/paste one project into another, the video makes it, but any added sound effects and background music do not get brought along.
Does anyone know how to override this, so when I copy and paste the project, the SFX and music get copies and pasted, too? Thanks.

I spoke with AppleCare and they said this is not possible.

Embed one project into another (nesting)

One feature that I would love to have in a slide show software is the ability to embed one project into another. Is this a feature of Keynote?
Here is where it would be handy:
I was in a band an we needed to put all of the lyrics for our original songs up on the big screen when we were playing. Neither or "set list" nor order was finalized, but was going to be 10 songs out of a possible 15. We wouldn't know until only minutes before going on. Since I play bass and had to be on stage, I had to have it simple enough for a 12 year old kid to run the presentation.
I could figure no way that I could possibly cut and paste and remove all the slides into the correct order right before going on stage. I worried about this for 2 days and figured out what to do.
I used Adobe Indesign and set each song up as it's own file. Then using InDesign's build book feature, I linked all the files into a book file. 5 minutes before the show, I resorted the chapters in the book file, and exported to PDF. I ran the PDF in full screen mode and the 12 year old girl just sat there and hit the spacebar for our songs. It worked perfectly.
Is there a way that I can do separate projects in Keynote and assemble them quickly like I did with InDesign and Acrobat?
Thanks,
Kirk

OK, if you don't want them all in the same Keynote file so you can hyperlink around the file to the desired slide numbers, then try this.
Create your Keynote of a song. Name it easily so you can find it easily. At the end of each song keynote, put a "Return to Index" and hyperlink it to the Keynote with the program. On the program slide you can Name the songs, Song 1, Song 2, Song 3, and Song 4. Of course, you can enter the name of the song in the program slide. If you use the generic name the process of creating the hyperlink is an easy one (it's even easy if you enter the name of the song you want). If you keep all song Keynotes in the same folder with the index, it's a matter of selecting the file title as the Keynote slideshow to hyperlink to. So you can change the four songs in a program presentation in about 2 minutes max. so you get:
File name: Agenda
Modern Church of God
Sunday, October 10, 2010
Reverent I M. Religious, presiding
10:30 am
Call to order
Song 1 (hyperlink to "Rock of Ages")
Processional
Prayer
Song 2 (hyperlink to "Bringing in the Sheaves")
Announcements
Reading
Song 2 (hyperlink to "Ave Maria")
Sermon, "How do we maximize our resources."
Song 3 ((hyperlink to "Jesus Loves Me")
Digressional
Song 4 (Oh, What I friend we have in Jesus)
At the end of the Rock of Ages lyrics Place
"Return to Program" and hyperlink to "Agenda"
For the next week, "Agenda 10/17" Change the hyperlinks for songs to the new selection of keynotes you have created earlier. It will take about a minute or two to make the changes. You do each one by clicking the Enable hyperlink selection box when one of the song references is selected. The pull the pull down menu to Keynote Slideshow. A box will open. Go to your folder with all song and agenda files. Select the song keynote you want to access with the click, when you select the song file and click "Open" your connection is made. You then project the agenda file on Sunday morning. When you reach song 1, you click on it and the song's keynote comes up. When the song is finished, click on Return to Program and your program Keynote is back up.
The only time consumer in this process is entering the song lyrics into their own keynote files. If you have somewhere to copy and paste the words, then it's easy. The mechanics of creating the weekly connection is very easy. Once you have your resources created, preparation time for a Sunday program will be only a long as it takes you to enter the planned agenda components.

Import package from one project into another

Hello everyone,
I have some projects.
An enterprise and war project created in netbeans.
I would like to use some files from one project to another. when I import
the package I get the error-
'package x does not exist'
I have added the package to the project but I still get the error.
I have also added the project to import to my glasspath but still.
E.g.
set classpath
.;c:\enterpriseA;
My next idea is to create a war project into my enterprise project and copy the files
from the war project into it in order to use it. But I'm sure there is a better way.
THanking you in advance.

One mistake I keep making is that I don't add the package to the
Dependencies of the plugin I'm writing. You have to go to plugin.xml,
and add the package you depend on to the Dependencies section. Maybe you
didn't do this?

Copy part of a sequence from one project into another?

I want to bring a sequence from none project into another. Do I need to import the files into the bin in new project? Or is there a shorter way?
(This was what I was trying to do in my last post when it all went south. I'll post it there too)

I have brought an old sequence from a FCE project into FCP, and then copied them into a new( final) sequence, and there's a problem. Some--but not all--of the video files are very wide. Can I correct or do I need to re-import the original files fron the Hard drive?
By the way, you've pulled my fat out of the fire a few times. Thanks.

Cut & paste one photo to another?

I have two christmas card photos. In one, I am looking at the camera but my dogs are looking away. In the other, they are looking at the camera and I am looking at them. How can I cut and paste my own head from the first photo to the second so we are all looking at the camera? should I use Preview or iPhoto? How to do this??

awsc
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
You'll need a more powerful image editor that iPhoto to do this, and Preview isn't an editor.
Photoshop Elements
Acorn
Graphic Coverter
are perhaps the best out there, but there are others, search on MacUpdate

How do I copy clips from one project into another?

Ok, I have gathers a bunch of clips from various events to forma project. Now I want to rearrange everything in a new project. Can I somehow get my first project to act like an event? That way I can grab the clips into a new project window... Thanks

If I understand what you are trying to do, you do not need to "get my first project to act like an event". Merely drag the same clips you used in your first project from their original event location(s) into the new project. Then reorder or re-edit the clips as desired. There is no need to make them into a "dummy" project first.
If you want to have EVERY (or almost every) clip in both the first and new projects, with the second merely being reordered or re-edited, use the *File > Duplicate Project* menu command. Then go to work on the newly duplicated copy of the project. You can rename the duplicated project as desired and reorder, edit, or delete the clips in the duplicated project without dragging them from any event.

Copy/pasting content into one project from another.

When I copy pictures from one project into another, it just leaves me with black pictures for the duration of the other ones...how do I fix this?

Thank you. Just from the curiosity, why saving a final project under a new name?

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

--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).

I want to import one imovie project into another one. In other words, I have created a short sequence in iMovie 11 on one computer, and I want to import it into a project that I am working on, on another computer.

I want to import one imovie project into another one. In other words, I have created a short sequence in iMovie 11 on one computer, and I want to import it into a project that I am working on, on another computer. I copied the project files onto a hard drive, and then connected that drive to the Mac that my main project is on, but when I select "import" the files are faint gray -meaning I can't select them. Help! I want to transfer a sequence of shots from one iMovie 11 project on one computer, into another iMovie 11 project on another computer.

Tell me it ain't so!
I wish I could. The research you've done is correct.
Wether you copy and paste or rebuild the Project from the other computer, you're going to need to get your Evnets copied from the other computer.
The Prjoject files only contain pointer back to the original media.

Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location.

Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately and only if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location. A few of these images had copies in another folder that remained and the ones I couldn't find may or may not have ever had copies. I had backed up my system with time machine recently as well, so I went into the backup to retreive the lost images. When I searched and found the backup copies I got the error "the file alias cannot be opened because the original cannot be located". The crazy thing is that the images that remained on my computer did not give me the same error and opened like they should.
In short images that I am creating, saving, and using are disapearing so epically that even time machine versions are affected when retrieval is attempted. Any suggestions as to what I could be doing wrong without realizing it? Or perhaps other people have had similar bugs that are software related and have a solution?

Hi Kevin,
I understand what you tried to do but it doesn't work that way. Swapping drive names will just mess things up.
You should be able to reconnect the files though: in the Locate Referenced Files dialog make sure you click the Show Reconnect Options button — this will give you access to all the connected drives. Locate one of the files and hit Reconnect All. Should do the trick.

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.

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?
