FCP7: How do I save 5 small separate Scenes, saved by project, to only one final project?

Specs: FCP7 Software
MCH70 Panasonic Camera
Using a college, Media Lab, Desktop Mac.
I captured files but had some trouble at first.
Then I saved each Scene (in my short 5 minute total project) as separate projects.
I have edited them and they all have separate sequences in each saved project.
Now I want to put them altogether and make one Master Project (so I can see if I exceeded my 5 minute project restriction).
I tried importing them but no luck. Then I copied all the sequences into one New Project, or maybe they just moved, not sure.
Don't know if that was the right thing to do or what the next step is. I am worried about damaging my already edited files.
I heard ultimately in other forums that I might be able to copy the individual clips into one folder and then import them into a new project?

You have each "scene" edited as a separate project?
This is not a useful way to work.
To combine all the sequences into one ("Master" or "Show") project:
Create a new project with matching project settings to all your previous work. Give this project a unique name and save it.
Now go to the menu  File > Open and navigate to and open your "scene" project(s). Repeat until all are open.
You will see they appear as tabs in the FCP Browser:
Once all the projects are open, you can go to the timeline of (for example) the first scene, click anywhere in the timeline and then select all (Command + A), and then copy the contents of that timeline (Command + C). Switch to the timeline of your new project and paste it there (Command + V). Once done, make sure the playhead on that new timeline is at the end of the pasted content, then do the same with the next scene. Repeat as necessary, until you have all the content in one timeline. and then check your total duration.
Save everything.

    How do I save items from my old ipad to my new one?

    Sync your old iPad one last time then when you connect the new iPad you'll be asked if you'd like to restore it. Yes, you do. Everything will be transferred to the new iPad.

  • How do I save my tabs without saving all my history like I used to?

    I just reformatted last night, and reinstalled Firefox today. For quite a few years, I'd had Firefox set up to
    1) upon closing, save all my opened tabs, and the previously visited pages of those tabs
    2) save no history other than the previously visited pages of tabs I have open while browsing, and save no history upon closing beyond saving my tabs
    3) still be able to save cookies and such for sites I specifically allow
    This is my computer that others occasionally use; I want to be able to closes Firefox keeping inconsequential pages I'm reading still there for my attention later, but be able to close private pages without people going through my history snooping around. I'm not willing to go one-by-one through my history deleting stuff. If I close a tab then close the browser I want that history gone; if I leave a tab open and close the browser I want that history there.
    I can't seem to be able to set this up; 1) and 2) are completely eluding me. Years ago when the first add-ons were made to do it, I had my tabs saved via those add-ons; since then, (I only formatted yesterday) I think I had been doing it through Firefox's current features.
    (I know there's related answers, ie "How can I save my tabs upon exiting?", but none seem to satisfy my issue)
    Eh, what gives? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Regrettably dm, I got nothing out of that one. There doesn't seem to be the ability any more to set up what I had set up. Seems like I was lucky I never screwed with the settings after I had them like that. (No, I wasn't deleting my history upon each exit; I had the "Firefox doesn't save history" option selected - the only history saved was for tabs I left open when I exited. If you can tell, it sounds more related to the old "Clear History On Exit" option than the "Save No History" option today)
    ... it seems like Firefox is getting more bloated with each release (which comes out sooner and sooner each time!) while giving less customizability. I / we could all just be missing it (perhaps some wise Firefox techs know what I need) but the fact that I can't just go Tools--->Options and do it easy is bothersome. I'd rather have long menus (under Advanced buttons if you want to make them look pretty) than to try so hard to minimize the number of options shown, to make it look simpler, or whatever.
    Rant done. I figure this problem won't be solved... gonna go check out some other browsers. Thanks anyway folks!

  • How do I create a dropdown with three options so that only one is visible in a form (non-flowable)

    I'm working on a form which needs to provides three options for the user out of a drop down list. When the user chooses one option, only that subform is to be visible. Two of the three subforms are text fields, and the third subform is a series of fields which are editable by the user.
    How do i create a dropdown with three options in it, so that in each instance only one subform is visible? This needs to happen in the same space on the main form.

    Hi Nellie,
    Here is the form back to you. There were three main issues:
    In order for dynamic behaviour, like showing and hiding, the form must be saved as a Dynamic XML Form in the save-as dialog.
    While you can use a minus sign when naming objects and subforms, it will cause scripts to fail. I have changed the name of the subforms so that they now use an underscore.
    The dropdown had specified values in the Object > Binding palette (1, 2, 3), so the script needs to use these in the if statements.
    When sharing forms on Acrobat.com, the best option is to select the file in your workspace and then click Publish. This will make it available to anyone who has the published URL.
    I hope that helps,
    Niall

  • How can I save multiple separate edited images from one original file?

    I shoot NEF raw images and am getting used to the way LR5 editing works without altering the file in any way. Now I wonder how I can create multiple edited images this way.

    Thank you, that was spot on. It will help a great deal right now as I am taking multiple crops from shots of the ocean looking for something striking.
    I doesn't seem to matter if I take a copy while editing or before I start editing, I can always reset the original and start again.
    Is it possible to rename the copy? I had a look around here and in LR Help but rename doesn't come together with virtual copy.

  • How do i save Images from the "Saved Photos" folder in my iPad

    I have no idea how to save the images that i save while surfing the net or emails.
    They are saved to a folder in my IMAGE build in app called "Saved Photos", but i don't know how to get them out of my iPad.
    Does anyone know how do do this?
    Thanks

    Very simple, open up my computer and the iPad icon should be displayed just like any other drive. When you open it up it will than say internal storage. then a folder, mine is labeled DCIM like many camera folder names, that is where all your saved photos are. i think you can only copy them from the folder to your hard drive, and you have to delete them on the iPad. i guess you can say it treats it like a huge flash drive but just with your saved photos

  • How do we access iTune purchases on a shared computer? Only one account is seen although each can log into our separate accounts.

    My wife and I have separate iTunes accounts and we share a Windows 7 PC. When she logs in to iTunes to sync her library / purchases, it only displays my playlist and purchases. To recap: Separate accounts, logged in as separate account holders, iPhone 3gs, updated OS, iTunes correctly displays connected iPhone for account holder. Can anyone help?

    Emma,
    If two people have separate libraries on the same computer, it is best to put them into two separate Windows User accounts.
    Go to Start > Control Panel > User Accounts > Add User Accounts, and get her set up in a separate user account.  Then move all her stuff there and from then on the two of you can operate independently on the same computer.

  • How to Avoid Save As dialog when Saving

    We recently upgraded Adobe Reader X to XI.  One difference between the two is the behavior of the Save function the first time it is performed.  In Reader X, when Save was selected, the file would simply save the current file, overwriting the original file.  In Reader XI, when Save is selected, the Save As dialog box appears, and if the user does not change the file name or path, a warning pops up asking whether the existing file should be overwritten. I understand that this behavior is a result of Protected Mode being enabled.  Is there a way to keep PM enabled, but always allow files to be overwritten as was the case in Reader X? 

    Yes, it does.  (as long as the pdf has been opened via a COM interface)

    I have figured out how to record my slideshow, but I can not figure out how to export it as a video. On YouTube I have seen people do it, but on a older version. I am trying to use the presentation in iMovie. I have the Keynote version 6.1 and iMovie version 10.0.2. If anyone could help me that would be great!!!

    I exported my slide show as a QuickTime movie and then used the Import feature of iMovie to import it into my project.

  • How can I share different sources to multiple Apple TV with only one controller (Mac Mini)

    Here's the setup
    3 TV's in 3 different rooms each connected to 3 different Apple TV.
    It is self-explanatory has how to share the SAME source to 2 or 3 of the Apple TV.
    What I want to know: Can we manage Apple TV's in a way that I can share 3 DIFFERENTS source with ONE controller, let's say a Mac Mini or PC using AirParrot.
    Im open to third-party apps as this is my only complaint for using an easy and affordable setup.
    Regards.

    I have a WLAN at home conneting Mac mini (late 2009), PS3 slim and xbox 360 in the living room and I would love to share whats on the Mac mini with AT3 in the guest room upstairs, physically it wont be possible to control both screens at the same times. The files I have are on external HD connected via firewire + USB to Mac mini and they are a mix of avi, mp4, mpeg etc. I'm talking about 3 TB of movies and series (its still legal here in Dubai to download ;-)). starting to convert such amount of files its not an option. AirParrot is a good option when I have media stored on my MacBook pro and would like to play it no AT3 but I used Beamer it works great for such function.
    any ideas folks ?
