Editing Movies on two computers

My friend and I are making a movie on imovie 11 but would like to know since both of us have macbook pros if it is possible to edit one movie on two computers?
Thanks Kundun93

No - there is no way
You could devise a Keyword scheme to identify them
You might send a note to the IPLM folks and suggest that they consider adding a feature to help or even do it
Or you could suggest to Apple a smart album selection based on edit date which would help you

  • Editing on two computers with Premiere

    I have two copies of premiere elements. One on IMac and one on Macbook. Video files on external drive. I want to be able to edit same project on both. I originally started the project on macbook but IMac doesn't see the exsisting project.  Can I do this? thanks for the help

    As long as you have your +source media files+ (video clips, audio files, stills, etc.) and your +FCE Project file+ on your external drive, you will be able to switch from one computer to the other for editing. Just make sure you are using the exact same version of FCE on both computers. And it will certainly help if you specify the same FCE scratch disk location (ie, your external drive) on both computers.
    As for +render files+ and +cache files,+ forget about trying to use them on two computers. When you move from one computer to the other, they are unlikely to be usable. Trash them and plan to re-render when you switch from one computer to the other.

  • I'd like to edit my site from iWeb on two computers, is this possible?

    I'd like to edit my site from iWeb on two computers, is this possible?
    I started creating my site on a PB 15", but when I'm home I like the speed of my iMac and I'd like to continue the editing process on my iMac but I can't find the files that iWeb saves.
    I'd ideally like to save my site on my 30gig iPod using it as a hard drive between both. I would love for this to happen but I can't find the files saved by iWeb. Is this even possible?
    I've even tried linking my PB to my iMac via firewire as a hard drive. No Luck.
    Please Help . . .

    I think iWeb only recognizes the 'domain.sites' file so while you can set up more than one site, they are in the same project.
    Of course, the workround is to move the domain.sites file out of the default location, which them makes iWeb create a new one. You can then work on any number of projects, only moving the correct file into the default location for work on each one. Not elegant by any means, but until someone suggests a better way (or Apple produce a more flexible version of the software) it works fine that way.

  • HT1449 how do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

    How do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

    An "iTunes account" is an online account you use for buying music, like a bank account.  An iTunes collection is the media you see when you open iTunes. Which do you mean?
    If it is two computers, it would also help to know where these are located. Are they on the same local network? If they are, try Home Sharing (and you have control of both and you aren't just trying to get music fro your computer to your friend's computer in another state).  If they are not, you'll have to use an external hard drive or flash drive.
    Is this on a PC? Your computer information says Windows but you posted this in the iTunes for Mac forum.

  • Two computers, personal Dav Server, possible to edit from both?

    I have two computers, a webhost with its own Dav server, and have setup the calendar to be subscribe only on one computer, while the other computer publishes. Is there any way I can set it up so I can edit a subscribed calendar from the subscribed computer? I want to be able to maintain it easily on the Dav server.

    Wiki?
    I sure hope not
    IT seems pretty official to me: http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/leopard/wikiserver.html
    A. I don't want my calendar to appear on Wikipedia.
    B. Wikipedia I believe holds a trademark there.
    Wiki is the general name for collaborative websites - Wikipedia is only one implementation of a Wiki - the trademark is on Wikipedia, not Wiki itself:

    Your calendars won't be available on the global Wikipedia but rather on a Wiki (i.e., editable from a web browser) on your own server.

  • Can I have same Itunes library in two computers?

    I would like to have the same library in two computers.
    If I use home share to import the whole library, Does that mean the library will disappear from the "old" computer? or
    Will I be able to keep the same library in both computers?
    What will happens when I add music to one of the libraries? Will they update? or Do I have to do it manually? Can playlist be imported from home share too? and can I have same playlists in the two computers?
    Thanks!

    Again without firsthand experience my understanding is iTunes copies (not moves) just the media from the Home Shared drive and adds it to your other library as a new item.  It will not affect the original library.
    As for syncing idevices, they are intended to sync with just the original library and only one library at a time.  Apple deliberately designed it this way, and not so you could plug them into a new computer and transfer the contents from the device to the computer (see exception below).  More information:
    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • Duplicating purchased music on two computers?

    I use two computers and sometimes I purchase music from the iTunes Store using one or the other. But, the music I purchased on one computer doesn't show up on the other computer and visa a versa. Is there a method of showing all the music I've purchased on both computers no matter what computer it was originally purchased on?

    Downloaded music will only appear on the computer used for the download. To get these files on your other computer you have to physically install the files on the computer (unless you have a shared network storage drive). To move the songs between computers, I would use an USB flash drive, copy the file to this drive and then copy it into iTunes on the other computer (Edit > Add File). Make sure you physically copy the file to the other computer and not just the path to the song on the flash drive. You can then authorize the computer to play these songs. (iTunes allows you to authorize up to five computers to play your purchased music.)
    If you'd prefer to import an unprotected file, you can burn the purchased music to a CD and then just rip it into iTunes on your other computer.

  • Two computers, one vault

    I am fairly new to using Aperture. I have read quite a few of the how-to's about the vault feature. So, I recently got myself an external drive and told Aperture to set up a vault on it. Here are some questions which I am not quite sure about:
    1) when I now add some images to aperture (as a "managed master") is that image initially stored a) just on my computer, b) just in the vault or c) both
    2) on this computer if I now say "update vault", does that image now get copied to the vault? Is it still kept locally on my computer
    I have a laptop which I use for traveling. I am the only one using it as well as the desktop. I would like to be able to work on the same images in either place, so:
    3) Can I use vault as a way to view and work on my images on my laptop when I am traveling and then continuing to work on them when I am back to my big computer?
    I thought the answer to 3) was "yes". So I installed Aperture on the laptop (it's brand new) and then 'restored the library" from the indicated vault. It warned me that it was going to delete the local library which is Ok as it was a brand new laptop. But now I am not sure I am doing it right.
    Thanks for any help on these three questions!!!
    Pito

    Hi Pito.  Let's deal with the Vault first (and then maybe the two-computers set-up questions).
    The Vault is a differential back-up of your Aperture Library.  You create and administer your Vault(s) from within Aperture.  It's primary function is to serve as a back-up.  If your Library gets ruined, you can restore from your Vault the last version of the Library that you "Vaulted".
    Like any back-up, a secondary function can be to move files from one location to another.  Used this way, the Vault provides little value over simply copying your Library.  So little, in fact, that I see no reason to use it this way.
    Your Library is a Finder "Package".  A Package is a special OS X file which contains a group of folders and files.  It shows in Finder as a single file, but you can see what is in it by right-clicking the file and making the appropriate selection.  (Don't alter anything in a Package file.)
    So, again, the Vault is simply a specific way from within Aperture to create a back-up of your Aperture Library.  That's all.
    Pito wrote:
    1) when I now add some images to aperture (as a "managed master") is that image initially stored a) just on my computer, b) just in the vault or c) both
    Images are not Masters, "Managed" or otherwise.  You import files into Aperture.  That tells Aperture: "Create an image for this file, and keep a bunch of information with it".  Part of that information is the location of the original file.  That file, once it has been imported into Aperture, is referred to as a "Master".  Aperture is non-destructive: the Master is never altered.
    The image in Aperture is not a Master.  The image has a Master.  Every image in Aperture has one Master. Some images have the same Master.
    The Master can reside anywhere Aperture can access it.  Aperture always keeps track of where the Master is stored (it knows its address).  If an image's Master is located inside the Aperture Library Package, it is said to be a Managed Master.  If the image's Master is located outside the Aperture LIbrary Package, it is said to be a Referenced Master.
    When you import a file you specify where the Master should be stored.  What you specify determines whether the image in Aperture will have a Managed Master, or a Referenced Master.
    In no case is the image or its Master automatically added to a Vault.  You must manually update your Vault to include recently added images.  The Vault backs up only the Aperture Library.  The Library does not include any image's Referenced Masters.  Therefore the Vault does not include any Referenced Masters.
    There is a warning message that tells you this when you update a Vault if your Library contains images that have Referenced Masters.

    You should now be able to answer that.

    You can, but it's not a good way (at all) to accomplish what you want.  There is a section in the User Manual on exporting and merging LIbraries (which is what you want to do).
    Take your time learning.  Aperture is huge and powerful -- and has a long but not steep learning curve.  It has tools to do what you want -- but it takes some time to get it all set up.

  • Single library two computers

    I want to setup a single iPhoto library with two computers, one of those having several users. Can someone give me the ideal setup. I am hearing that there are performance issues with '09 and wireless but, is it also true for wired connections? I was planning to connect a HD to my Airport extreme.
    -gl

    What do you mean by "setup a single iPhoto library with two computers"?
    If you want the other users to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Similarly for users on another machine. WIreless is perfectly fine for his form of sharing.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts (and all machines) for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    There is no form of wireless connection that is suitable for this kind of sharing. Wireless networking features inevitable dropouts. If one occurs while a user is writing to the db then the db will be corrupted.
    Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account/ for each user in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. All accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

  • Using FCPX on two computers

    I have an iMac 27" that's a few years old running 10.6.8-- just before Thunderbolt came out unfortunately-- and also a MacBookPro (which does have Thunderbolt).  While I do most of my editing on the iMac, I might need to use the MBP to tweak things for clients while I'm away from the studio.  I am mostly a stills shooter, and I'm still learning the vagaries of video editing.  Just took a nice little course in FCP10, had previously been using FCX (X as in "Express") and Premier.  I just purchased FCP10 toady.
    I am hoping that as with FCX, I will be able to use FCP10 on both computers without buying two versions.  That was allowable as long as it was not being used on two computers at the same time.  Can someone please confirm that this is the case?
    Also, I am planning on using a 128GB USB thumb drive to carry the work between the two computers for a project I am currently working on.  It's USB 2.0, and I know that's not optimal as far as speed is concerned, but since all of the final videos I'll be creating for the project are under four minutes, I'm hoping that won't be a horrible problem, just a mildly frustrating one.
    At the class I took, we grabbed a disk image off of the network drive to use on the local computer, then put it back at the end of the class.  Will something like that work with the USB dongle between the iMac and MBP?  Many thanks for all info.  -JB

    You can use Final Cut Pro X on two computers, all you have to do is on the second computer, login to the Mac App store with the account you purchased the first one.
    I'm on 10.6.8 and I recently moved from FCEx to FCPX (I prefer these abbreviations), and had to learn everything all over again, FCPX is nothing at all like any previous version of FCP, so you will have a learning curve, but having said that, FCPX is far better than FCEx.
    Moving the folders from the flash drive to the computer each time would work. The general consensus is to have your Event and Project folders on a fast external drive, just so you can move it to any computer you wish, no need to copy folders back and forth from internal and external drives, FCPX recognizes those folders on any drive automatically, just be sure to back up the external drive. BTW, you must create Event and Project folders and move them from one drive to another within FCPX (which you might already know).
    The USB 2.0 flash drive is excrutiatingly slow. I'd buy a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter for the MacBook Pro, then use an external Firewire drive to move between the two computers.

  • Is it possible to share 1 bluetooth keypad and 1 mouse pad between two computers in target mode?

    Is it possible to share 1 bluetooth keypad and 1 mouse pad between two computers in target mode? Grab a drink and let me tell you my story.
    I purchased two computers... an iMac 27" i7 3.4 16GB RAM and a Mac mini 2.3 i5 8 GB RAM. Both have Thunderbolt capability and are in fact connected by thunderbolt. I have 3 problems...
    1. My Mac mini WILL NOT recognize any bluetooth keyboard. Let me back up for clarification. I set my iMac up first. No problems there. I then went on to set up my mac mini. A couple of interesting things happened concering bluetooth activity. First thing is that the keypad, which was already paired with my iMac wouldn't be recognized by the mac mini, and yet my bluetooth mouse which was paired with my iMac became paired with my mac mini and thus wouldn't be recognized by my iMac anymore. I had to go to my back room and dig out my other bluetooth mouse so that my iMac would at least recognize my second mouse. So now I have two "mice"presently. One for the mac mini, the other for the iMac. Thankfully I also had a USB keypad for my mac mini. My bluetooth keypad is still paired with my iMac but won't pair with my mac mini, which brings me to another question....
    2. CAN 1 KEYPAD AND 1 MOUSE PAIR WITH TWO DIFFERENT COMPUTERS SO THAT WHEN I GO INTO TARGET MODE VIA THUNDERBOLT I CAN USE THE SAME KEYPAD AND MOUSE FOR BOTH COMPUTERS? Anybody have some thoughts on that problem?
    3. WHY IN THE WORLD IS MY MOUSE CURSOR DISAPPEARING EVERYTIME I EXIT TARGET MODE VIA PASSWORD AND COMMAND F2. I'm using target mode to access my mac mini. But when I exit target mode to get back into my iMac I'm looking at my iMac screen but I can't see the mouse pointer! I can move the pointer around even though I can't see it. Wierd. And this has apparently been going on for some time with other users for over a year. I am presently completely up to date on Lion updates. Both systems are running 10.7.4. Does anyone have a solution or heard a rumor of a solution coming soon regarding the invisible mouse cursor "curse". I hate having to restart my iMac everytime I exit out of target mode just so I can get my mouse cursor visible again.
    Food for thought.... Wouldn't it be really cool to have a target mode capability to see your other computers desktops in seperate window screens on your main display. You then could go back and forth from each window by just double clicking or by certain key commands. You could drag and drop from desktop to desktop. Tell me this is coming soon.
    Thanks

  • Can two computers share same ITunes library over Airdisk?

    Hi all,
    I have a Macbook and a PowerPC G5 and a Drobo (external hard drive) hooked up to my AEBS with only ITunes music stored on it.
    I want to be able to edit and browse my ITunes library from both my G5 (which I can already do) and my MacBook (which I can't). When I try to change my ITunes library location from within my MacBook, nothing shows up. It's a blank library, even though I can edit and browse the Drobo (as an Airdisk) through the finder. How can I edit and browse my ITunes library from my Macbook if my G5 is also using the same library? Two more quick points...
    1) I have tried the "sharing" feature and don't want to use it. It doesn't allow editing of my library and won't show cover art.
    2) The above situation happens whether my G5 ITunes is open or closed.
    Thanks everybody for your help.

    I periodically copy my iTunes library from my Mac Pro to the Mac Mini.
    They aren't using a single library. Each computer is using its own copy and you have two sets of library files.  It can certainly be done that way but if between copy sessions you edit a bit of each library then it is a bit of a muddle trying to make sure your versions are synchronized with each other.  For example, ratings are stored only in the .itl file, so if you rate a song on your second computer it will get lost the next time you copy over from your first.
