How do I edit FCE 4 project on 2 different machines?

I am working on some family videos and started editing on one machine (laptop) and want to continue editing on a desktop at home. I know I need to copy the Project file, but what other files to continue editing on the other machine?
I googled this and found I need to get the capture scratch, render files, and the audio render files.
Q: is there a simple way to do a "save as" to copy all required files to allow "portable editing" and sync'ing with the new mac - there must be an easier way to do this... Thank you in advance!

Hi
A. The only way to share a project requires some organization and a lot of discipline.
• Same version of FCE on both Macs
• an external hard disk to move project on. FireWire and has to be Mac OS Extended formatted
• alt is to use the LapTop as an external drive on the stationary Mac
(this is the best alternative - though You can reconnect all media - as it's
already captured)
B. To do a joint project - One has to do right from the very beginning.
• On the external hard disk - Create a new folder - Name it appropriate to project
• Then Start up FCE - AND DIRECTLY - Set/address all scratch disks to this new folder
• THEN - SAVE and direct this document to this new folder TOO !
This collects all vital parts in one place.
• Now Capture edit etc.
C. Automation that assembles projects - NO There is no such tool in FinalCut Express
BUT - This do exist is FinalCut Pro - Very good tool that would be good to have in FCE
So - I would start laptop in target-mode (Start it and keep T down) then connect
this as an external hard disk.
This would be easiest way. But still - to what use.
Alt 2 - Start all over and make this collecting folder - and keep everything in it
eg audio (.aiff) and photos.

How can I edit an iMovie project created on one machine on a different one?

I created an iMovie on one MacBook, and want a colleague to edit it.
I created a dropbox folder, moved all the files there; i can see them on the other Mac, but the project doesn't show up in the project window in iMovie on the other Mac and I can't open it there by browsing to it in Finder...
Can anyone help?

I think you can transfer an iMovie for iOS project from the iPad and edit it on iMovie on the Mac. This works fine.
However, you cannot start a movie on iMovie for the Mac and transfer it to iMovie for the iPad.
Think of it this way.
Say that iMovie for the Mac has 1000 features*, and iMovie for the iPad has 400 features*. These 400 features map one to one to an equivalent iMovie for Mac feature. Because there is a good mapping, you can transfer and edit.
But if you go the other way, iMovie for Mac has 600 features for which there is no corresponding feature in iMovie for iPad or iPhone. So there is no way to edit an iMovie for Mac project on the iPad.
* I made these numbers up for illustration purposes.

How do I edit an iMovie project on a different computer?

I started an iMovie project on my desktop at home and I am going away for the weekend so I am wondering if there is anyway to transfer the file to my brother's laptop and still be able to edit it. If there is a way, what should I use to transfer the file?

I've done this. You'll need an external hard drive. See iMovie help "Copying or moving a project to an external hard disk". Once it's copied, connect the hard drive to your brother's laptop and edit away.

h.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY," ********what should i use here???????*************************")
Each app server provides their own jndi factory class. For ex for weblogic it is weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory. SInce you are using sun app server, check if there are any examples to find out or the docs.
private static String url="http://localhost:4848
Since the client is in a different machine the localhost is not going to work here. provide the url or the machine name of the system in which ur sunapp server is running. In addition u will need to have the stubs of the remote interfaces in ur client machine.

Teststand project transfered to different machine (same specs) and the Initiate fails

Hi all,
I am working on a bench setup with different intruments controlled by GPIB (HP E3631 power supply, Keithley 2400 etc). We are using teststand, which calls the dll generated from Labwindows/CVI environment. Our project is recently transferred to a different machine and now the communication (initiate command) fails with the HP E3631 and rest everything is working fine. I also tried running NI spy and I see nothing when I execute the instructions seperately for HP E3631.
Can someone please help me to narrow down where the possible problem can be ( everything remains the same from the old machine to new machine). ?
Regards,
Nivesh

The driver that is used on both the machines is exactly the same copy. As i told earlier a Labwindows/CVI generated dll is called from the Teststand program. The only difference is that the machine_1 (working with E3631) have the Labwindows/CVI version 5.5 installed and the other machine has version 5.0. I am also attaching the generated Spy logs for both the machines:
1) Machine 1 has instructions for both the Kiethley and E3631 in the spy file.
2) Machine 2 has instructions only for the Keithley and it fails when it reaches the initiate instruction for E3631.
Error code > (-1074135040 : User defined)
Thanks in advance.

Connecting is as good as u do in anyother environment...

database I wish to connect to is on Windows NT. How
can I connect to the data source.You mean connect to database or DataSource ? If you are planning to lookup a data source and get a connection... you have to create a datastore first and give a jndi name so that you can lookup and get a connection....

I think there are 3 ways to do so
1. JDBC
2. ODBC-JDBC bridge
3. don't remember the third
I would check it with JDBC section of the javasoft site. Also since your web server is on a linux box, you probably will not be able to use ODBC-JDBC bridge. I would try the JDBC method, but that requires you to get the JDBC driver for the database that you are trying to connect to!
good luck

hello RSingh,
Once again thanks for your cooperation,
I applied the script you posted, but it is not giving me the size of the folder which is located at a remote machine. Please note the " I need to calculate the size of the folder which is located at a remote machine".and when i applied its path in your script,
it raises "Access is denied" error message.
My path is - '\\ewp-dev18\c$\Attachments'
EXEC getFileProperties '\\ewp-dev18\c$\Attachments'
and this folder does not have any sub folders, it contains only some txt files, image files or some doc files. so no issue of sub folder.
and about my remote server 'ewp-dev18', i have all access and rights, but still raising "Access is denied". why?
do i need to pass any login credential with it ???

How could I export FCE project into XML format?

Hello,
I recently decided to upgrade from Final Cut Express to Final Cut Pro X. But I don't seem to be able to export my FCE unfinish projects. That is because FCE does not export into XML format !!!
Does anyone knows how to have FCE to generate a XML file? Or to have the FCP file format converted into a XML file format?
Thanks

If you are editing in FCE4, then you can open your FCE Project in FCP6 or FCP7 and do the .xml export there. Once you have that .xml file, you need to use the software 7toX to convert the file to FCP-X.
http://assistedediting.intelligentassistance.com/7toX/
It should be noted that the conversion of a sequence file to .xml and then .xml to FCP-X may not pass 100% of the information.
There is information about what is and is not translated here:

How can I edit an iMovie 10.0.3 project on a different computer with an older version?

I am trying to caption a video using the Titles feature. However, 10.0.3 has a bug that won't allow font changes in titles, which is making the captions inconsistent in terms of size and font, which looks terrible. How can I fix this? Is there any way to share the project with a different computer with an older version of iMovie, to make the edits there? So far, the video will transfer but the other project files (including the captions) won't open in the new version.

You can't use a project created in iMovie 10 with earlier iMovie versions. If you are only adding titles you could always re-import the video into a Mac running an earlier version of iMovie or share the iMovie 10 video to file and import into the earlier version.
Some titles in iMovie 10 do allow changing font and size though. Its a matter of trying out the various options. If you are running Yosemite its worth upgrading to version 10.0.6 which I think improved title adjustment options as well as a number of other things.

How can I edit a mp3 file and drop it in an iMovie project?

I wish to edit an mp3 music file so that I can drop a piece of it into an iMovie project. iMovie's audio tools are very rudimentary---one can reposition a music file, shorten it, etc but cannot pick a piece of it to complement a movie segment.
So I dropped the mp3 file into GarageBand. I deleted the first section of the song, then selected the 16 second piece I wanted to include in my iMovie, using the copy command. Then I pasted the piece into a new GarageBand project screen. The piece wouldn't play, and when I selected "export" the piece neatly went to where I wanted it, but again with no sound.
So simply: how do I edit an mp3 file (cutting a piece of it) and then save it so I can apply it to an iMovie? Help!
John

it should have played, but you can do it easier by exporting just the section you want:

Can I edit FCE projects when the files are on a External HD?

Hello,
I've recently reinstalled Snow Leopard. Since I have a clean start, I'm thinking about new ways to manage my video files for FCE editing.
Video projects take up most of the space on my HD, so I'd like to keep them on an external drive this time.
Is working on FCE projects while all the video files are saved on an external drive a bad idea? Or will this work out just fine? This way I don't have to first save them to my internal HD, finish the project, move video files to the external HD, and point FCE to where they're saved again. There just on the external HD from the start and while I'm editing the video! I can get a HD with firewire too.
Thanks.

Not at all. This is the correct way to work with a laptop.

How to return to my original project

I did realize a very simple project on fce 2.0.3, about 35mns just one clip after the other. Because of time I needed to burn a DVD as is: so I converted the project to quick time and saved on external drive the movie.
Now I want to refine the project. When I open the movie in fce I get a window ( slug) with the movie but no TL or viewer or canvas ( and they are not available on the task bar). I didn't trash anything ( knowingly) after I converted the project. Could anyone help me to figure out how to find where is my project ? and bring it back to the TL in order to be able to edit it.
Thank you for any suggestion>
i mac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Thank you Ian and Tom for your answers , What I did effectively is that I had trashed my original project ( which i was able to restore) and kept only, I guess, my exported project.
But Tom I looked at the icons and both versions have the same icon (the eye of fce). By "Q" do you mean the logo of Quick Time? By the way when I export do I have to use QT movie Or QT conversion in order to burn a dvd with I-MOVIE ?
Thk you again for your help.
