E-sata drives with xcam mp4s and QTref to r3d redcam

Client is bringing e-sata drives with xcam mp4 files and QT refs pointing to r3d redcam.
How do you import/see the files in your new project? What's the right way to do this to maintain the proper link to the file?
I'm new to FCP and remember in the tutorial on lynda.com that they said it was critical to have your media files in: "/documents /fcp documents / capture scratch" to maintain the proper link.
Do you have to create this path/folder on the new drives? If you simply import the files, will the system automatically establish this link/path to media?
Another question: instead of file-import command, can you simply drag the files from the drive into the browser of your project (rumor I heard)?

You don't need to copy the media if the drive is fast enough.
You can just drag the files into the browser. That's the same as using the File>Import function.

  • I want to back up2 hard drives with imovie events and projects as well as 2 desktops. Is TC the best way to do that

    I want to back up 2 hard drives with imovie events and projects as well as 2 desktops. Is TC the best way to do that? Also, I already have a wireless network. Does this create a 2nd one or is it possible to just use it for the backup function?

    Time Machine can do that, if your Time Capsule is large enough (see #1 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions).
    For backing-up multple HDs on a single Mac, see #32 in that same link.
    If by "2 desktops" you mean 2 separate user accounts on the same Mac, see #26 there.   If you mean 2 Macs, see #33.

  • Controling "posmo a" drive with CP5613 Profibus and LabVIEW

    Looking for a solution to controll a "POSMO A" drive with CP5613/OPC and LabVIEW (without WIN-AC).
    Helpful would be to have a Library to set the velocity, target, acceleration.

    What kind of solution are you looking for? A complete programm, graphical elements for the front panel or how to access OPC items?
    If you want kind of a helpful solution you should ask a precise question.

  • Single SATA drive with VIA VT8237 Chipset (KT6 Delta-FIS2R) ?

    After the installation of one (!) 120GB MAXTOR SATA drive on the VIA Southbridge,
    partitioning, formating and installation of Win 98 SE I face the following problem:
    - Under ControlPanel-> System-> DeviceManager there is a missing driver for the
      SATA RAID Controller
    - After installation of the VIA SATA/RAID-driver and rebooting,
      Windows get stucked (obviously because no RAID-array is defined)
    - Afer rebooting the second time, one can find in the DeviceManager a VIA SCSI
      Entry that says driver is not started anymore because of faillure
    - Under ControlPanel-> System-> SystemPerformance one found the information
      that the SATA drive is running in MS-DOS compatibility mode because of a not
      started driver
    Question(s):
    Is there a driver for the VIA SATA interface that will work with a single drive or
    is the only workaround at the moment the use of the "slower" promise controller?
    Or is it still a BIOS problem (That one can not install an "dummy-array" with a single drive) ?
    KT6 Delta-FIS2R with BIOS 5.2

    Me too - regarding "slower" performance, but my only source was a VIA article...
    (http://www.via.com.tw/en/southbridge/vt8237_drivestation.jsp)
    (...but there must be a reason why MSI build in the additional Promise-controller)
    Thanks for quick information!

  • Annoying Delay when booting up SATA drive with KT6V

    OK, I've almost given up on Via SATA after reading the myriad of troubles everyone else is having, but here's my issue:
    I've installed Windows XP onto a Seagate 120GB SATA drive. When I boot up, SOME applications (in particular, Control Panel and any app running off of a CD) won't fire up when I double click on them. Going to the Task Manager, I can see that the application is in the Processes list. There is no drive activity. If I wait a few minutes, the applications load and run just fine. The irritating thing is that some apps open up just fine. Internet Explorer has never had a problem opening (although Live Update has, go figure).
    I'm running an Athlon 2500+ on a KT6V-LSR with a Radeon 9500 Pro, 512MB PC2700, and a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz Sound card. I have a Liteon CDR and a separate DVD player. The only Hard drive in the machine is the Seagate SATA 120GB.
    If anyone has a fix for this delay, please do tell.

    Or perhaps you are running Core Center, as has being said a lot of times that it uses more than 90% of CPU resources....BTW you could tell us something about the P.Su.: its brand and AMPS. it gives to 3.3v. 5v. and 12v.

  • Using an external hard drive with a Mac and a PC?

    I have an external hard drive that I've used with my Windows PC/ itunes / music that I've copied to the PC. Can I use the external hard drive that I use with my Windows PC on my Mac/ itunes / music I've downloaded to my Mac?

    I also have a lot of pictures stored on the external hard drive that I can't lose.
    (1) Any hard drive may fail at any moment. If you don't have a backup for this external hard drive, your pictures are half-gone already.
    (2) If you're trying to make this drive a repository for your music and pics, then its best to format it as FAT32. That's the file system with the widest compatibility, and you'll be able to use the drive with Mac, Win, media players, even TVs with built-in media players. For practicality, it's probably best to keep it attached to a desktop machine and share it on your home LAN for all other devices.

  • Using external hard drive with both iMac and PC

    I own an old Dell PC and an iBook, and will soon replace the Dell with an iMac.
    I recently bought a 250GB Western Digital external hard drive to back up my data. I would like to use this hard drive to back up all of the files that are on the PC (which I will soon be getting rid of) and also use it for backing up the files on the iBook and, when it arrives, the iMac. In other words, neatly back up all my info onto the back-up drive.
    My question is this: can I do this? If not, what is the best way to consolidate all of the data from all of these computers into one place? Will the fact that some data comes from a PC and some from a Mac be a problem? Can you move back-up drives fromone computer to another? The photos on my PC are saved in Picasa, whereas the photos on the iBook are in iTunes. My iPod music files are all on the PC in iTunes.
    Any advice about backing all this stuff up in a user friendly way would be greatly appreciated.
    By the way, I have heard that there are ways to reformat external drives, to partition them, and to "raid" them. Can someone explain what this all means?
    Thanks.
    iBook G4    

    Hello,
    Your best option would be to store the files from your PC on the drive with the drive in the FAT32 format. Then, copy the files to your Mac's Internal hard drive.
    Now, once the files are stored safely on your Mac's internal hard drive, you can safely reformat the external drive as a Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) drive. That will be the best format to use for long-term purposes with your Mac.
    Many OS X file types (such as many PKG files) cannot be stored / written to a FAT32 volume. So, a FAT32 drive would not be suitable for backing-up an entire OS X hard drive (or even many of the system updates that you might download).
    So, that's how I'd do it. Use the drive as a FAT32 just long enough to get the files moved to your Mac.
    Once the drive is re-formatted in the Native Mac format, then you could copy the files back to it, and any other Mac files that you wanted to back-up to it for safe-keeping.
    Personally, I would re-partition it in at least two pieces on the Mac. One to hold data / personal files for safe-keeping, and a second bootable partition for a full system / OS X backup.
    You can read a bit more about this in some of my previous discussions here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2536703&#2536703
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2597825&#2597825
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2632566&#2632566
    Read through each of those three discussions and you'll see how they all come together and provide you with a good solution for backing-up your hard drive.
    I hope you don't mind my linking you to those other discussions, but it just seemed more practical than re-typing what I had already said all over again
    Also, if you are getting one of the new Intel iMac systems, and you want to be able to create a bootable backup as described in those posts, be sure to format your external hard drive using the new GUID format. That will provide you with the best solution.
    I hope this helps.

  • Library on external drive with two computers and a backup...

    Hi there,
    I'm a video editor (and Adobe Cloud user) and I'm about to start using Lightroom for my photographs.
    I don't want to have my photos in the same place as my other projects just to keep everything sorted.
    My question's are:
    1. Can I put everything (photos and catalog) on an external hard drive?
    This shouldn't be a problem I think.
    2. Can I use this one hard drive and switch between my desktop and laptop? Both have the latest version of Lightroom.
    3. Can I use CarbonCopyCloner to backup everything to a second hard drive in case hard drive 1 fails?
    And if hard drive 1 crashes continue working on hard drive 2 without any problems?
    Thanks a lot

    Yes, yes and yes.
    If tragedy strikes and drive 1 fails and drive 2 is put in its place, if drive 2 is identified with a different letter (Windows) or name (Mac), Lightroom will need to be redirected to the new location  for the catalog and photos, but this is easily done. Same thing could apply when switching the external from desktop to laptop if the drive letter/name differs between the two machines, but they can be set to always use the same letter to identify the drive.

    2)  How do i connect the feedback and control lines  from the UMI to the Motor drive?
    i'll appreciate any help including posting a link to a tutorial that helps to understand the signals from the motor drive and the encoder
    And also the umi-7344  (Phase A,  Phase B, Hall sensor, inhibit, Fault, etc... )
    Some powerpoint or Pdf tutorial that National instruments provide will help as well.
    P.S.  i read the manual of the UMI-7774 and the pci7344 manual, but i'm yet not understand what i need to do
    in order to configure my motion system :

    Thank you for repling to my posts, i really appreciate that.
    The links you provide is very helpfull.
    i'm enginner in my education, but not in this area (i'm information systems eng.)
    i decided that i need to learn more about it (ni-imaq, ni-motion, line-scan camera, servo, servo drives, encoder signals, motion i/o, umi, pci7344, etc..)
    So, i download the manual and help files that is needed to my application i want to build

  • My TM is backing up my external drive with iPhoto, iTunes, and other media, I don't want it to, but it persists even unless I disconnect the drive

    I have two external drives, one for TM and one for iphoto and itunes.  I don't want them backed up.  Why can't I get this to happen except when I disconnect the itunes/iphoto disks

    Check System Preferences -> time Machine - > Options and add the external hdd to the list of things to not Backup.
    It is always a good idea to backup important files like Photos - nothing is worse than losing the Photos and having to explain it to the significant other who has an emotional attachment to them.

  • Problem with transfer MP4 and 3gp (N958GB)

    Okej here is my problem.
    (Sorry if the spelling is bad... from Sweden)
    *I have connected my N95 to my Pc with the USB.
    *I go to "My Videos" on the N95, and drag and drop either a MP4 or a 3gp file.
    *The file is copied to the phone without any problems, but on the phone there is a window that says "storage or transfer through USB is in progress..". And it keeps on loading and loading...
    It dosn't matter how long i wait, it doesn't stop. And when i pull out the USB the phone says "Some data may have been lost, don't remove USB untill transfer is complete"
    The problem is that it never get completed...
    When i look in "My videos" on the phone there is no file, but if I look at the phone on my PC the file is there...
    Can someone please help me!
    Thanks /Fredrik

    You are connecting in Data Transfer mode. This allows the PC to see the 8GB as an external drive. Unfortunately, it also means you have to manually tell windows to disconnect by clicking on the "Safely remove hardware" icon (a grey rectangle with a left-pointing green arrow) in the bottom right icon tray in windows.
    This will shut down the connection and the phone will say it's OK to disconnect the USB.
    In fact, if the file copy has completed, it's unlikely that removing the cable without disconnecting will cause any problems but I always do it anyway.

  • Using Seagate External Hard Drive with both PC and Mac

    So I bought this hard drive knowing that it can be used back and forth between Macs and PCs.  I currently have a PC, but it's pretty old and I figure I will be getting a Mac after it dies.  But currently I want to use it to get files from a Mac computer and when I connect it, it says "read only".  How do I configure it to be able to transfer files with a Mac?

  • How can I interchange a Toshiba external drive with my Mac and Windows? It only works read only with the Mac.

    I bought a Toshiba external drive IT and I can copy files to it from my Macbook Pro 5,3. I would like to know how canI interchange files with Windows and the Mac.

    If the disk is read only, it is formatted for Windows and the Mac can't write to it
    Reformat to FAT32
    This will of course wipe all data so move it first

  • Using more than one external drive with apple tv and itunes

    I've searched the forums and haven't found a clear answer for this. Is it possible to use two seperate drives for the itunes library? I've already filled up my external firewire drive and would like to get another one.
    I've read in several places that people are doing this, but haven't found clear instructions on how its done.
    Much thanks!
    Brown.Recluse

    I don't think you can have more then one folder designated as you itunes library folder, so you can not have more then one drive for your library folder. However you can use more than one drive for you content. I have 6 drives that I use right now. I store the movies and tv shows on those drives. I drag a movie into then library tab in itunes and it just links itunes to the path of the movie. To do this however you have to unclick a option in itunes. It is the menu that you tell the path to you library, you have to unclick “copy to your library” not sure if this is the exact name of this. If you don't do this it will try to copy the movie you dragged in instead of linking it. I actually have nothing in my Itunes library folder. You can also do this with purchased content as well. Just move the purchase content to a drive of your choice from the itunes library. Delete it from itunes. Then drag it into itunes from the new drive. I hope this all makes sense, let me know if you have any other questions.

  • Use Firewire Drive with both OSX and XP

    Hi,
    I am in the process of migrating to a Mac from Windows XP. I have an external hard drive (WD MyBook Pro 250gb) which I have been using to backup data to from Windows. The device is currently formatted to 120gb using NTFS so that Windows can backup to it. The remaining space is currently unformatted.
    I need to keep my Windows data for a period while I become comfortable using the Mac before decomissioning the PC. I had assumed that I could maintain the XP NTFS partition, and simply partition the remaining space as an HFS/HFS+ partition using the Disk Tool in the Utilities folder. However, when I attempt this, I don't get any option to format the remaining space - not even as FAT.
    Previous experience with Linux led me to believe that this would be easy to accomplish on Mac OSX, but it appears not to be the case.
    I have searched Google and other Apple Support forums. At this point I am unsure if it simply a lack of knowledge on my part, or if this just flat out cannot be done with OSX.
    Once I am happy that the migration is successful, then I will trash all partitions on the Firewire drive and simply have one HFS/HFS+ partition, but I'd like to have the extra comfort of keeping my data in the interim.
    Many thanks for your effort on providing guidance.
    Mark

    Why not format the remaining space in Windows as FAT32? That way both your XP and your Mac can read and write to the FAT32 space, XP can read and write the NTFS space, and the Mac can read and copy from the NTFS space. The reason I suggest doing the FAT32 format in Windows is because I have had number of cases where Windows (both XP and Vista) simply would not recognize a Mac formatted FAT32 partition, whereas the Mac has never had a problem recognizing and using Windows formatted FAT32 partitions/drives. Once you are quite done with the Windows XP machine and have transferred all the data off the drive, you can then select the whole drive and do a low level reformat. At that time you'll want to change it from the Master Boot Record partitioning scheme it undoubtedly currently has, to the GUID Partition Table that is preferred for Intel machines and Leopard.
