Editing project on 2 separate systems

We are about to begin editing our feature doc on 2 separate systems. One is a brand new quad intel mac and the other will be a G5, both running FCP 6.01. The project is on the Intel system right now and we will put a copy on the G5 along with copies of all the clips. The media will not be shared.
Wonder if anyone has any tips for doing this? Should we keep both projects going under the same file name? Is there a recommended way to port sequences back and forth? We will be working on separate parts and will of course want to combine these parts every now and again to see how it all flows.
I am going to order Shane's dvd to see how he recommends a project be organized because I figure it will be smart to do this before we both get going.
Thanks,
Loch

Thanks for ordering the DVD.
I'll mention a quick tip that is in the DVD, but might benefit others as well.
MULTIPLE PROJECTS. Have one project that is the main project that you share, but then each of you have a SEPARATE project that contain your cuts and only your cuts. This way you can exchage cuts projects and see what the other is doing. ALSO...have the separate hard drives named the same thing. Prevents the need to RECONNECT all the time when doing the project exchange.

    I have the G Drive 1 TB (GEN4 1TB) external drive purchased in 2010. I need to connect to my new MacBook Pro. I'm using the external drive for media storage of my video editing projects. Will a 800fw to thunderbolt adapter cable work? I understand that using a USB port connection is not fast enough for video editing. I read somewhere the G Drives don't connect well to MacBook Pro.
    thanks

    I doubt this can be relocated or moved so you might want to just repost in the macbook pro area.

    Can you afford a new Thunderbolt case and cable? any case with FW800 is going to be slow 72MB/sec and less, and any new 1TB drive is capable of 75MB/s minimum up to 125MB/sec.
    Thunderbolt storage can of course when setup properly reach 100's of MB higher using multiple drives.
    Use what you have for a system backup or for secondary backup storage.
    you might be able to take the drive - most cases allow you to open and swap drives - and use this:

  • I bought CS6 creative suite. As of now i need to work each application in separate separate system. Can any one please help me how to solve this problem.

    I bought CS6 creative suite. As of now i need to work each application in separate separate system. Can any one please help me how to solve this problem.
    I saw the below quote on Adobe forum
    "You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each."
    If i install each application in single single system the system count is more than two. In this case, are we have any license issue? Please advice how the problem will solve?
    If possible please send the advise to my mail id: <Removed by Moderator>
    Thanks

    I already answered that.  If you purchased a Suite then you can only install and activate it on two machines.  Even if you only insdtall one of the applications of that suite, it counts as one activation of the suite.  You cannot take the six or seven different applications that might be in a suite and install and activate them in six or seven different machines... only two machines.
    If your scenario will allow for it, one thing you can do is install the programs on all the different machines and only activate two of the machines at any given time.  If you need to activate a program on a third machine then you need to deactivate on one of the currently activate machines first so that you have an open activation to use again.  I do not remember if there is a limit to the total number of activations you can process for the life of the software.

  • DVD authoring after editing project with FCP X

    FCP X has extremely limited DVD authoring options within it. Can't put more than one short movie on a disc, only two menu templates to choose from, etc. So my question is what do I use to author a DVD after editing projects with FCP X? I know I need to use Compressor to set chapter points, etc., but what do I use to build the DVD menu and burn the DVD? I certainly hope I am not limited to iDVD only, which is not really a pro application, and I gather that DVD Studio Pro is no longer being sold. Amazingly, I asked this question at a One-to-One session at an Apple Store and the guy there suggested Adobe Encore ... I was totally shocked! Does anyone have an answer to all this?

    Encore is very good, but you have to buy PPro to get it, you could look on eBay for a copy of DVDSP. It does look like Apple will not be offering a Pro Level DVD authoring package anymore, it's a shame as DVDSP works very well still and they could have just offered it as a standalone.

  • How can I save a book in projects on a separate hard drive

    How can I save a book in projects on a separate hard drive?

    You can not save "just a book"
    The book is just entried in the iPhoto database and the only way to move its location is ot move the entire iPhoto library
    You can make a special library just for the book so you have a smaller library to archive - see Old Toad's tutorial #9

  • I cannot edit project in project server after editing it in project professional

    Hi
    i cannot edit project in project server 2013 after editing it in project professional.
    i.e I created an enterprise project in project server and then edit it with project professional. after i published it to the server and open it with project server, it shows the changes. but when i click on a cell, suddenly the task list and gantt table
    hidden!!
    it happens even if I start a project with project professional.
    I'm the admin user.
    what's the problem?
    Thanks.

    CU means cumulative updates, which are intermediate bug fix packages between SP. The latest CU for Project 2013 was release on September 12th. See reference
    here.
    Can you try to reproduce the bug with
    IE in compatibility mode?
    Hope this helps,

  • Oracle Express Edition And Windows Encrypted File System (EFS)

    Hello,
    I want to use oracle express edition with windows encrypted file system. I tried some possibilities like encrypting xe folder. But connection can not be established when efs is used. Is there a compatibility problem between oracle xe and windows efs? On Oracle's page, it is declared that oracle database is compatible with Windows EFS.
    Thank you for help.

    Pl identify which version of Win 7 - 32-bit or 64-bit ? Home version or something else ?
    The 11g XE install is only available for 32-bit version of Win 7 Professional or higher - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18803/toc.htm#BABHICJH. If you are installing on 64-bit version or Home version of Windows, then you are on your own. What is the reason for enabling EFS on this database ?

  • 'Edit Project' button grayed out for a project

    I have been working on a project but it stopped working all of a sudden. The 'Edit Project' button is grayed out and won't let me click on it. The movie doesn't appear in the preview pane either.
    More information:
    iMovie 11
    Using MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard
    I have sped up some of the clips
    No other effects used
    The earlier versions of this project (which are Hi-Vis Vest 1 and Hi-Vis Vest 3 in the screenshot) are editable BUT won't play in the preview pane but will play on full screen mode.
    Anyone else have the same issue?

  • Users are not able to edit projects even with right permissions

    Hello,
    We have a weird issue. Your help or inputs is appreciated.
    A user is not able to edit projects in SAP PPM 50 unless 1)the project is created by the user and 2)user has access to ACO_SUPER auth object. For the projects, the user is trying to edit, we made sure user has write ACL access in the administration tab of the project.
    Obviously, we can't give all users ACO_SUPER access. Please advise how to proceed.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Pranith,
    You are right..ACO_SUPER is not recommended for all users, it's an super user access.
    In PPM-Project management, there are two authorizations
    1) General Authorizations
    2) Project Specific authorizations
    General authorizations:
    This is provided to user using a backend PFCG roles like 'SAP_CPR_USER' which contains business partner view access and other similar roles are assigned for project creation, template creation etc.,
    Project Specific authorizations:
    This authorizations are provided using ACL 'Authorizations' tab within the project and here you have different authorisation activities like admin, write, read & none.
    As you said, the user who creates the project will get 'Admin' authorization and after that if you want give access to other users, then you need to add manually users in the project definition-authorisation tab or you can provide default authorization through project role type.
    Have you added the users manually in authorisation tab?
    Regards,
    Ravi

  • Edited Project Footage Disappears

    This problem developed after hours of completing several movies successfully in iMovie 5.0.2. I save the movie as I want it, close iMovie, open the file again, and all of the clips that were once in the timeline all trimmed to my liking and filled with transitions and titles are now missing with the original uncut footage in the trash can leaving behind only the transitions and titles. No plain footage in the timeline. Just effects. Where did my edited project files go?
    Another thing- If the first thing I do when opening the program is hit "Play" in the viewer, the movie (with edited files and transitions as I edited them) will play, even though they're not in the timeline or even in the trash. But when I click on the timeline and then "Play," only the transitions and titles that remain in the timeline play in the viewer. I'm very confused. Can someone help?
    *Also, it must be noted that this wasn't the situation the whole time. At one point when I first started, I could save and open projects in their entirety with everything where it's supposed to be. Then all of a sudden, this problem started occurring, and only with certain files. Not all of them.

    I agree with Matti:

  • How do I render my edited project made from .VOB files?

    I have DVDs  that were commercially made from my own 8mm family films and I have edited the .VOB files with Adobe Premiere Elements 11. The edited project is on the time line and I have added background music to the silent 8mm films. The entire project is in .VOB files. When I try to render the project, hitting the enter button simply starts the project playing, but Adobe Premiere Elements 11 does not render the project. There is no colored line above the work area. The files are VTS_01_1.VOB.  I can't get Windows Media Player to burn the project to a DVD so I can send copies to my family. How can I burn the project to a DVD that will play for my family in a normal DVD player? Will it be necessary to render the project? If yes, how do I do that? If I purchase Adobe Creative Cloud will it have something that will help me get my project burned to a DVD? Thanks.

    When you are ready to burn to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, click on Publish+Share at the top right of the workspace.
    After you click on Publish+Share, click on the Disc choice. After you click on Disc category, click on DVD in the burn dialog
    which has the header "Disc:: Choose location and settings: Then you set the Burn to: field to Folder (4.7 GB) or Folder (8.5 GB).
    Set your save location for the Folder that is going to be produced from Burn to:
    In the folder from the saved Folder, take only the VIDEO_TS Folder from that saved folder into the free ImgBurn program
    to produce your DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc. Please see
    How to burn a DVD Folder with ImgBurn - AfterDawn: Guides
    After reading those instructions, if you have any questions about them, please let me know and I will fine tune any areas that
    need fine tuning.
    Please let us know if this is the specific information that you were seeking.
    I am not clear what you mean by
    When I look at the normal choices I don't find any choice that will burn my project to a DVD that will play in a normal DVD player. Can you tell me which of the choices will do that?
    This is what I would consider the "normal way"
    1. Burn to: = Disc
    Is Premiere Elements 11 showing your DVD burner in the Burner Location: of the burn dialog?
    Does the Status: show Ready when you have you DVD disc in the burner tray?
    Have you select Presets = whichever corresponds to your source -
    NTSC_Dolby DVD
    or
    NTSC_Widescreen_DVD Dolby
    or
    PAL counterparts if you are in a PAL region
    In the Quality Area of the burn dialog, is Space Required 4.38 GB or less and Bitrate 8.00 Mbps.
    If Yes to all of the above, then hit the Burn button. You should be on your way to producing a DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc
    that should be playable on the computer or TV's DVD player.
    Looking forward to your follow up.
    ATR
    Add On...There is another angle to all this which I will add as a just in case measure...you have DVD-VIDEO files on your Timeline, and I have assumed that you want to burn them to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc. By any chance is your intent to burn them to AVCHD format on DVD disc?
