FCP Saving Everything to one Drive?

Hi there,
When you are working on a project that is using footage and files from several drives , is there a way to save the whole thing in one place on a new drive without having to go fishing through every file you need and manually putting it in one place?
It's because I want to be able to work on a project from my laptop on 1 external drive when I'm away. The current project I am working on is spread across 3 drives on my Mac Pro
Thanks
Tim

this is one of the purposes of the Media Manager
you can select the projects tab in the Browser window, then choose File > Media Manager
in the Media Manager window, set Media: >> Copy, Project: >> Duplicate and Media Destination: >> +your intended single external media drive+
then click OK and save the new project to a suitable location ... that'll be the project you want to use as that will be the one that references the new copied media location rather than the originals

Now that I saved everything to my LaCie external hard drive, do I need to erase my IMAC hard drive? My computer is still slow. :(

My computer is still slow after uninstalling Macbook pro and buying a LaCie external hard drive and saving everything to it. I repaired disk permissions. Am I supposed to erase original hard drive?
Thanks!

Not yet, get a second hard drive, or a second medium to backup your data. You never want there to be less than two copies of your data at anytime. If for some reason one fails, you'll always want a backup. Clone with Superduper or Carbon Copy Cloner. Note, if you have an early 2008 Mac, it is not PPC, but rather Intel. PPC indicates the chip is G3, G4, or G5. You can double check this by going to Apple menu and selecting About This Mac. Once you verified your Mac, I can ask a moderator to move this thread, so you don't have to crosspost.

I have time machine saving onto two usb drives. The backup is 4.6TB. Each drive is 6TB. Why is time machine only updating one drive? (The other has been the same for two weeks.)

I have time machine saving onto two usb drives.
The total size of the files being backed up is 4.6TB.
Each external USB drive is 6TB. So I have 12 TB of space for Time Machine.
Why is time machine only updating one USB drive? (One drive has been the same for two weeks.)
I have selected both drives in the Time Machine settings panel.
My understanding was that it would do a full backup, and then incremental backups of changed files, getting rid of old copies as needed, and alternate between the two drives.
But it looks like drive A has one complete backup, dated two weeks ago, and drive B is the only one getting action.
There is a red icon on drive one that says the drive needs 120GB more space to do a backup -- which is strange since the whole backup set is only 4.6TB in size, and the drive is 6TB in size...

You could try a clone instead.
Clone - Carbon Copy Cloner (Often recommended as it has more features than some others)
Clone – Data Backup
Clone – Deja Vu
Clone - SuperDuper
Clone - Synk

Hi Stephen, thanx...
Yes, we are talking about FCP X...this is the thing:
I worked on a project a few days ago and went to share - export movie.
Today, i opened the FCP again, to make some changes, and when i enter to the project, it shows me as one big clip.....i dont see it says compound clip....and i tried anyways pressing break appart clips...but nothing....could it be that i made it compound before exporting it..? if so how can i recover the un-compound version >?
I tried to import the saved .mov file, but it opens the same....as one long clip...
Pls help...thanx.

IF I install FCP on another internal hard drive but boot off the other drive?

Hi
There is something I don't understand
When you have 2 hard drives and one has the OS and you decide to clone that onto a second internal hard drive, what happens to the applications in that second drive? Do you have to reboot and re-start from that second hard drives "startup disk" to use those applications
The reason being is this. Right now I have the OS in one drive but I'd like to install a second hard drive, clone the OS but also intsall Final Cut Pro on that second drive, so everything that I do as far as editing is contained within that second drive
What I'm getting at is, can I still use Final Cut Pro Application in that second drive even though I started up the computer up from the first drives startup disk?
Or would it be better to buy a large drive, like a 2TB and just partition the Final Cut Pro within that drive?
Thank you!

Hi Jim
But wouldn't that be the case if you have an OS in each drive (FCP in the second drive)
Although that second drive would not be "running" per se, wouldn't FCP still work as a stand alone in that drive? Or no?
I'm talking about FCP 7
Thank you

Moved Project To Knew Computer After Everything Is Named-Drive Formatting?

Did search, and seems to be a common problem, but there are a little differences. In the past, when moving project, after starting, everything just showed up. This time, the red lines everywhere. Tried renaming file to clip and vice-versa, and nothing. Double-checked and have all the media. I thought the pathway pointers were imbedded, maybe not. Do have sub-clips. Did hear some talk about how the original media(P2 DV)is saved, can affect it. Was original saved to portable firewire drive that is Fat 32 to capture P2 in the field for Macbook pro. New media drive is extended. Any help is appreciated.

Assuming that you have canvas and/or viewer set to "image" not "wireframe" the only thing I can say is that you double check again that you have the most updated version for Motion or a version that your FCP version would expect to connect with. I have seen other people experiencing this, the answer could be the awkward worst case scenario you want to avoid or simply an update inadvertently missed. Rather difficult to establish without investigating further within your actual workstation.

One drive (sky drive) for sharepoint 2013

Looking for support on the one drive: referenced here:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2903984
We have Sharepoint 2013 and would like to use the sky drive (one drive)..
We don't use Office 2013, but Office 2010
I found the link to the download of onedrive.
The download name was:
Setup.x86.en-us_GrooveRetail_3V9N8-W93CC-FQPB8-Y9WVF-TVGJ3_TX_PR.exe
I am trying to send the one drive out to all our computers at our business to be used with Sharepoint 2013.
The downloaded install doesn't appear to be a standalone install. I opened up a command line.
put Setup.x86.en-us_GrooveRetail_3V9N8-W93CC-FQPB8-Y9WVF-TVGJ3_TX_PR.exe /?
This gives the following output.
Usage:
SETUP mode [path to configuration file]
SETUP /download [path to configuration file]
SETUP /configure [path to configuration file]
SETUP /packager [path to configuration file] [output path]
SETUP /help [path to configuration file]
/download Downloads files to create an Office16 installation source
/configure Adds, removes, or configures an Office16 installation
/packager Produces an Office App-V package from an Office installation source
/help - Prints this message
I tried the Setup.x86.en-us_GrooveRetail_3V9N8-W93CC-FQPB8-Y9WVF-TVGJ3_TX_PR.exe /download
This supposedly will download files needed to create an office16 installation source. I don't want an office16 installation source, but I want the onedrive stanalone installer.
The command didn't download any files.
So does anyone know how to deploy the onedrive to multiple computers. Make note we don't have office 2013 any reference to trying to create a custom install for it useless because we don't have the product.
Please help.
Adam J.

Do you know where to find the .msi? I have the above .iso extracted. If I run groovemui.msi I get the following error:
Error 1713: Setup cannot install one of the required products for Microsoft GrooveMUI (English) 2013.
Thanks!
EDIT: I am also trying to install ODfB standalone on top of Office 2010.
Hi vmanning,
you will need to use the setup.exe (found in the Office2013 ISO) - you can't just use the MSI for groove (ODfB).
You will need to create a customisation of the Office2013 (either MSPfile, or config.xml), to set the feature states as you wish (i.e. ODfB=runfrommycomputer(Local), and everything else=notavailable(Absent))

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179195.aspx
Also, note that there is a bug in the Office2013+SP1 ISO, so to avoid this bug, use the original Office2013RTM ISO; refer:

Issue with file upload to Microsoft One Drive

Hi,
My uploaded file(25.6MB, 44 seconds long) from Adobe Premier Elements 9 will not play on Microsoft One Drive(MOD),
Is anyone else have problems using MOD?
I created the file I uploaded on my new HP Envy Computer(x64 proccessor with 8 gig of RAM).
I created this file on the Adobe Premier Elements 9 software, saved to my computer, and then uploaded to MOD.
I created it from my project by choosing the MPEG category Then within the MPEG category I chose the HD 720p 30 footprint as the smallest and fastest option to upload.
. I saved as a file in a folder on my computer. Don't know if this makes a difference but when I right clicked I chose "Windows Media Player" as the "Opens With" option.Don't think "Opens With" option really matter? Doesn't MOD automatically convert the file to whatever they want to use to open the file anyway?
So that is the file I uploaded to MOD using the MOD "Upload" button.
When I clicked to play, after waiting for what I assume was a "buffering process" , I got a "Sorry, This video can't be played." message.
Also, FYI , i uploaded to Google Drive . It plays but pauses to buffer about 30 seconds in.
You Tube is the another drive I uploaded to. It plays perfectly there. But I would preferr to play on MOD. You feedback appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed'sAPE9

Copy File From One Drive to Another & Missing Keyword Tags

Hi,
I use LR 2.7. I want to copy one file from one drive to another drive with the same file name. I thought you could drag the file, but it doesn't copy over the file in the other drive, can you explain what I have to do?
Also, I tried to import the folder into another drive, but it doesn't copy the keyword tags. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks
Barb

Hey Barb,
Well, if you use the Year/Month/Day/pictures_here format, none of the folders contains a massive amount of folders. It's not the number of folders that generates problems, it's having them all in _one_ folder that creates slow-down issues. Imagine if you had a deck of cards; look for one card... you have to go through all 52 cards to find it. But, if you broke it down into the 4 groups, you only have to go through 13, which is lots faster. Now imagine going through 15000 instead of 52...
Look at the way lightroom can automatically import by date; it has several preset formats. If you pick one of those, then when you import new photos, it will automatically create any missing ones, and you have lots less to do.
Depending on how much work you have already done, you might consider making a new catalog and just importing all of your photos again, and let it create everything quickly for you.
You could save all of your "edit" changes by writing out all of the xmp files first. But with 15000 files in one directory, this will double it to 30000 (one per image!), but will preserve all of your edits if you choose to make a new catalog approach.
As for combing catalogs, once you have one catalog the way you want it, you can select "import from catalog" and it will suck it into a new one, thus combining the catalogs. The only problem I can see is that it will import it in the format you already have it, so you have to organize it manually before you import it. Otherwise, you'll get your old format and your new format in the one catalog (but can then move pictures around if you need to).
Personally, I'd go the 'write xmp files, create new catalog' approach. Then just recreate my collections, etc.
But either way you do it, it will take some time processing, as that's a lot of files to start with!
Ciao!

Powerpoint 2013 throwing 'File in Use' errors when saving to a network drive, file is NOT in use

One of our sites is having a strange issue when saving to a network location in Powerpoint. I'm not sure it's a Powerpoint problem, but it's a place to start...
When saving a ppt to a mapped network drive (the client is running Windows 8 / Office 2013, the network drive is a DFS share, pointed to a Server 2012 machine if that matters), users will almost always get the following error:
"Someone else is working in (filepath\name) right now. Please try again later."
This happens regardless of where the file is being saved on the network drive, in fact it happens even when there is no pre-existing file with that name in the location. So, even if I'm saving a brand new copy of test.pptx to F:\Share\PPT where there
is not currently a test.pptx, I get the error.
Word, Excel, and all other tested apps save properly. Powerpoint can save correctly to the local computer, but not to the network drive or to My Documents (which redirects to the same network drive).
When the error pops up, if I look in Open Files in Computer Management on the Fileserver, I see the file I'm trying to save listed as being open, but it shows 'Disconnected' rather than a username.
Any suggestions would be appreciated - again, not sure that this is a Powerpoint problem - could be Windows 8 or some mysterious DFS thing...
Thanks.

Hello,
Been having a very similar issue in our environment and just came across this thread while Googling and looking for answers.
In our case, we have Windows 7 clients and 3 main files servers - 2 are Server 2008 R2, and one is Server 2012. We use PeerLink File Collaboration to sync the files between
the servers (similar concept to DFS).  For us, it seems to happen specifically with Excel 2013, and only when saving to the Server 2012 file server. I can reproduce the message pretty much every time. After seeing your post,
I tried it in Powerpoint just out of curiosity, but it saved properly - Word saves properly as well.
Been doing a bunch of testing to try and narrow it down, and this is what I've found:
Excel 2013 -> Server 2012 = error message.
Excel 2013 -> Server 2008 R2 = no error message.
Excel 2010 -> Server 2008 AND Server 2012 = no error message.
<o:p>We've been leaning towards the PeerLink replication as the culprit up to this point, but last night I did some testing with the PeerLink Collaboration turned off, and
still received the error message.. so now I'm even more confused!
I see that it's been a few months since your post.. have you made any progress here?</o:p>

Transferring EVERYTHING from one computer to another w/ same source

I want to transfer all my iTunes files (playlists, music, play counts, everything) from one computer to another, on account of the logic board of my old one is messed up and I want to get everything on my Mac Book Pro.
HOWEVER.
When I was using my old computer, I had my iTunes folder on an external hard drive, which would then be the source of all the music and where the new music would automatically go. So I have the external hard drive, and I can't save the playlists from my old computer because I can't use it.
So how do I transfer all the information? I've tried doing the whole "delete iTunes Data, import XML file" thing and it says it doesn't detect certain music and therefore doesn't place everything where it needs to be.
Any help?

Well the way to work around it I think would be to remove the hard drive from your broken computer, assuming of course that your broken computer is broken because of something else besides the hard drive.
Put that drive into an external enclosure. Hook up to the new computer. Copy the iTunes stuff from the old drive into the new computer overwriting the existing database files on the internal.
Now with the other external hooked up, start iTunes and see if it then sees everything properly.

I am trying to export photos and keep receiving an error message. I tried relocating my catalog to see if that would help since I am saving to an external drive, but now I can't find my catalog at all either.

I am trying to export photos and keep receiving an error message. I tried relocating my catalog to see if that would help since I am saving to an external drive, but now I can't find my catalog at all either. I am a newbie at this and don't know what I'm doing wrong or if I can even use an external drive for my photos and catalogs (I did enable smart previews so I do know how to do that part). Help!

You can use an external drive with LR but I recommend only using it for
image file storage while keeping your catalog on your internal HD for
performance. If you moved files outside of LR (Finder or Explorer) you will
have to clue LR in on where they are now. Use the left-hand folder panel in
Library mode to navigate to the location on your external drive and use the
find photo option get LR to reconnect them. If you moved the catalog and
now LR can't find it you should get a window allowing you to select a new
one where you can navigate to the new location and select it. You can also
just start LR by clicking on the Lightroom 5 catalog.lrcat file to open it
and start LR.

In the process of reformatting my macbook pro, I saved everything but my keyword list. The keywords are with the images, but the total list I use under "Keywords" is not present. Is there a way to re-create all my keywords I've used over the last 6 year

In the process of reformatting my macbook pro, I saved everything but my keyword list. The keywords are with the images, but the total list I use under "Keywords" is not present. Is there a way to re-create all my keywords I've used over the last 6 years.

I accomplished what I needed last night. I remembered I had picked my favorite images from each year and put them in a "favorite" folder by year. These folders included 500 to 1200 images per year. I pulled up the folder for each year and highlighted all images and clicked on "Keywords" and all keywords used for all images were listed. I made those keywords persistent. It took me a while to realize I had to click on each keyword to make it persistent. After doing this for all years, I assume 95% of all keywords I have used over the many years were back in my list. I'm sure there is probably a more "technical" way to accomplish what I needed, but this seems to have worked. I also exported my list into a word document and is saved on my hard drive.
If I had not made folders with my favorite images for each year, I could not have used this method, so if you figure out a better way, I like to hear it. Thanks for your comments and willingness to help.

Projects on one drive taking forever to load /conform, while projects on other HDDs are fine

Hi guys, I'm at a bit of a loss here.
I have a Core i7 Win 7 ultimate 24gb ram running premiere cs5.03
I have a ssd drive for os and progs (C), and then 4 other identical 2tb drives for projects. (D,E,F and G)
I have about 8 projects per drive, all the same thing (wedidngs)
I have my last wedding of 2011 to get edited, and it is on the F drive.
I dump all the folders into the project window, but the conforming stage is taking FOREVER (3+ hours and I gave up, an average wedding all the files conform in a few minutes)
The file types are h264 .mov from canon DSLRs by the way, but I have discovered that it must he a problem with my F drive.
At first I thought it was settings issue with CS5 (media cache folders etc..), so I tried changing the media chache drives etc... but nothing helped
Then I tried to open a previous CS5 project that was on the F drive (a project I completed just one week ago) and it just hanged on the loading screen (20 mins and I gave up)
It is strange as the drive isn't nearly full, plenty of space on it (in fact my E drive is nearly full but I can still open all the projects on taht and they load up in the normal time frame)
Nothing else is on the drive, just project folders, the same size and type of projects that re aon all of my other drives, they all work fine, but now all of drive F seems 'corrupted'?
So it seems I have a problem with my F drive (D, E and G are all fine)
I don;t know what the problem is or how to identify it.
I am currently doing the error checking process then I will defrag.
The bizarre thing is, nothing has changed, last week everything was fine, this week I have a problem with that one drive.
I've read online that it helps to have separate sratch disks for video, audio, previews etc...
But with my yearly workflow, it is better for me to just have the whole project (video, audio, previews etc..) on the same folder in the same drive.
This has worked great for the past 6 months, but all of a sudden, any old projects on the F drive hang on the loading page, and any new projects take more than 3 hours to import / conform?
I've tried my best to explain the problem but reading it back my description does seem a bit all over, I guess that's becuase my mind is all over the place due to this problem!
It's my last wedding from 2011 and I cannot get the project started (been at it all day, havent got any editing done, just trying to solve this)
So if anyone has any tips or advice on how to identify the problem, confirm if it is a HDD issue or premier issue (I think HDD as all other projects on the other drives are fine) I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
James

For some reason I think I might have missed some but its to late now since the drive will not spin up anymore.
If you do go this route make sure to do it all at once.
I think I might have waited between tries but can really remember, it was a long time ago and I try to keep better back-ups now.

Hi Glenn,
Thanks so much for your responses,
"I then froze the drive and as soon as I took it out started copying the files to a new drive.
Running CPU-Z or Speccy I could monitor the temp of the drive. As the temp went back up the speed of the drive slowed till I could not copy any more. I just repeated and kept going till I got all the data off.
I still have the drive but even freezing cant geet it back up and running now.
Its not a good meathod since it will ruin your drive but its free and might work."
Sorry I ma not reallt sure on the internal worksings of HDDs, can ask you to explain what this is?
Thanks again for your help
