How can i copy multiple projects that reference one event without having to duplicate the event over and over for each project?

Each project has compound and regular media in them, and every time i attempt to duplicate the projects and have them reference one event on the new drive the rest of my media shows up missing and will not reconect. Wondering if anyone has had to tackle this problem. I have a limited amount of space on my Drobo thunderbolt drives and need to optomize it. Thank you

So i called apple and after a few hours on the phone and them taking control of my computer they pretty much told me they had never seen this before and were sorry they couldnt assist in any way. The long explination is that i work for a company that films their footage in one long take and then sends it to me to cut into segments, i then have to copy these small edits which are all in different projects and the one large event over to a new hard drive to give to a guy to put titles on and then send back to the company. when i do this copy of project final cut X forces me to also duplicate the event leaving me with "event" (fcp1) and so on depending on how many projects there are. When i dont duplicate event and project together the whole project shows up as missing media and final cut X does not recognize that the original footage is being lost and therefor i am not even given the oportunity to reconect media. I have tried all conventional ways of copying and transfering and have an extensive background in editing and have never come across this, but then again this is final cut X and something that i try and stray away from if i have a choice in systems.
to answer Tony im using copy project and event because it is the only option that works (copy project and used media works as well but only creates more confusion with having to rename files) I would prefer to be able to just copy the first project and event and then be able to source the rest of the project files from the first event i copied over.

  • How can I use multiple ipad's on one account without sharing individuals personal email accounts?

    Is it possible to have multiple ipads on one account and share info, but also allow the individual users to have personal email that is not seen on the other ipad's? We have all ipads on same icloud account because we all need to see the same ical. It seems like that's the problem. If it IS related to icloud then if we have separate icloud accounts, how would we share the main ical otherwise? Sharing the ical is very important for this business so everyone can access the daily schedule. Of course each user still wants to have private email.
    Hope this wasn't too confusing!
    Thanks!
    Doreen

    you could set up the main icloud itunes acount for ical and not have in setup on the devices
    and share the calandar with the other itunes accounts on the devices
    or only have it on one device
    devices have the users indervidual itunes icloud setup
    they should be able to access the shared "main" itunes icloud ical account once it's shared

    if the devices are company owned you could go futher and setup find my iphone on the main itunes account
    and not on the user icloud accounts

  • How can I copy a mailing list into address book without having to type them individualy

    Hi
    I have a mailing list and I would like to send emails to everyone on the list in one go, I copied and pasted the list into my email, but can I have this group somewhere so that I can just call it up like an ordinary address from the address book, preferably without having to type every name individualy into the address book. I tried making a group in the address book and pasting the list in without success,if this is possible can some explain how I can acheive this
    Thankyou
    Richard

    Richard,
    Unfortunately, you have to add them one at a time - wait a sec... oh, yeah, if the contact is in your contact list it will 'auto-fill' as you begin to type. So if I want Wendy Whatshername, all I have to do is type Wen and the contacts will show up for you to select and auto-fill the name and email address.
    Hope this helps,

  • How can I update multiple IOS devices from one computer without downloading IOS each time

    My company is on a VERY slow internet connection, and at the moment we are using a cellular modem to increase our bandwidth.  This connection is a metered connection.  The 1 Gb download for IOS 7 will kill all of my purchased bandwidth, and has a potential to both take a while and/or cost a fortune.  I need a way to update 58 iPhone 4's, 4S's and 5's to IOS 7 while only downloading IOS for each device type once.  We are using iTunes to do this update as the update utility on the phone has caused 3 of our units to crash and lose all their data.  2 of which were bricked and had to be replaced by applecare.  We had a utility for that when I worked for apple a few years ago that used iTunes in this manner, but I am not sure this exists on the consumer side.  Does anyone know where i can look for this solution?

    - Since you have iOS 4.x, the only way to update the iPod is to connect the iPod to a computer and update via iTunes. See:
    iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
    - If you following these instructions you can update the iPod without losing anything.  WHen you restore from backup as the article says the iPod will also be updated.

  • How can I copy files from an external hard drive without creating copies on the disk?

    I recently purchased a MacBook Air as part of a requirement for schoolwork. I decided to use it to sync music to my iPod and iPhone, and it worked perfectly well, however, i keep most of my music files on an external hard drive. Recently, it started sending me messages about the hard drive being almost full. I checked on the about this Mac screen, and it said that up to 95 gigabytes on the disk drive had been taken up by music. This was not my intention, as i had previously assumed the music was kept on my external hard drive as it had been on windows. I attempted to delete the folder, but it now said that my disk drive was taken up by "other" files. I want to still use my iTunes without these files copying. How?

  • How can I print contiguous rows on a Numbers spreadsheet without having to print the whole spreadsheet page?

    I frequently have a need to print a portion of a spreadsheet for a presentation, but find that I have to print the whole spreadsheet page to obtain the information I want.  When I was using Microsoft Excel I could highlight a section of a spreadsheet and print only the highlighted rows.  Is there some way that I can do this in Numbers?  Help will be appreciated.

    Numbers differs significantly from Excel in the print paradigm.  If you enable Print View using the menu item "View > Show Print View", you will see exactly how each page will print.
    A Numbers document contains Sheet.
    Sheets contains a canvas, on which you place tables, graphics, text, and media.  The canvas is continuous and is divided into pages at print time.
    If you want to print just a portion of a table, select the area, copy, the open the Application Preview, select the menu item "File > New From Clipboard"
    Then print

    How can i redeem my digital copies from my cloud without having to pay for it? I bought Disney's Frozen and it came with the Frozen and The Incredibles digital copy which i have in my cloud but they wont let me download it keeps trying to charge me almost $15 per movie

    What do you mean 'redeem my digital copies from my cloud' ? Have you already redeemed the codes onto your account, are you looking to redeem the codes, or are you wanting to reddownload the films ?
    If you haven't already redeemed them, and they are iTunes codes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1574
    If you are wanting to redownload them, then if you can do so then they will show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad for redownloading.
