How do I properly archive or save projects so they could be used in the future

Help would be greatly appreciated
How do I properly archive or save projects so they could be used in the future, but yet delete or trash the events folder they came from, to clear hard drive space

Hi to all of you Seniors and one junior [i.e. the the OP who started this thread]. I feel that this thread is a very vital subject relevant to practical and economical 'creativity oriented videography'!!!
As a newcomer I always have tried to have a grasp over this matter and the insecurity of 'incomplete knowledge' has been a constant mental niggle.
May I tell you that I have been struggling to 'hear' what I am now 'hearing' in this present discussion for over the past 10 months and have not been able to!!!
I shout out a million cheers to all the participants, OP included, involved in this thread.
May I request that this discussion be not allowed to die down but be used as a guidepost for all folks, especially those whose primary work is videography? By the time the this thread comes to an end, every reader should be able to make an 'informed and learned' decision of how to economically and safely preserve his work.
Salty's observation regarding opting for SD looks attractive just because of the lack of a suitable [read economical] means of having your work in HD...but, if in the coming days, were there to be any pathbreaking discoveries in terms of data storage, and hugh capacity drives are available at 'throwaway prices' would we not for the rest of our lives regret having done our works in SD?
Appleman's foray into this common problem, as to how it should be tackled, needs to be greatly lauded. Tom Wolsky's precise observations which obviate the need to check out and painfully realize some of the errors in Appleman's hypothesis neccessitate that the laurels, as usual, be handed over to him.
Now having said what I felt after reading through this thread, I would like these clarifications:
1] what is meant by having a backup of 'currentevent.fcpevent.'? How do we go about it. Where are we to store it? After doing this 'backup' can the 'currentevent.fcpevent.' file be deleted from the event folder?
2] Some word of enlightenment regarding the meaning and usage of 'event metadata '...i.e. say after 3 years of having the 'projected related event data' in cold storage, were one have the need to put his project back again on to the timeline for further editing...what are the exact steps which one should take?

  • Project Server 2010 - Unable to open project, no valid Project Detail Page could be found for the project error

    I have a workflow being deployed for the first time on a farm. When I create a project with an EPT connected to the workflow it runs and can enter the required field in a PDP.  Then I Submit the workflow to go to the next stage and I get the "Unable
    to open project, no valid Project Detail Page could be found for the project" error.  After that the project is stuck on the same error.  All of the 18 stages have PDP and Schedules assigned to them.
    Any ideas on why the workflow cannot see the PDPs?  Is there a farm permissions that I am missing?  Thanks!

  • Making a small change to an old project - How do I know what versions of Drivers and RIO etc was used for the last good build?

    If I want to make a small change to a legacy project of years ago, I want to limit my risk by using the exact same versions of LabVIEW, NI-RIO etc.  So I check out the project from the repo, but I don't know how to check what versions were used when the last know good build was made.  I don't want to introduce issues by mass-recompiling to the latest version.
    What is best practice in this case?  I could, before every repo commit, take a screenshot of MAX's software tree and save this in the project folder.
    Any ideas?  
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The report is a great idea!  I store both a max technical report and a project.NCE (HW config export) with each of my projects for this exact reason.  Those files have sure come in handy!
    Also- its a good idea to make an image of the target as accepted and archive it somewhere.  ESPECIALLY for PXI based systems from NI.  (When the customer comes back for a "duplicate" just send the image with the PO and the system arrives fully configured)

  • Imovie 11 - how can I shared to idvd a project that I modified and finalized for the second time?

    I finalized a project (iMovie 11), shared with iDVD just as a test. Then I came back to the project, included A LOT of things, finalized again and when I shared to iDVD i just show the first finalized project. How can I work with my hole project in iDVD?
    I tried to save as my project, but there is not this option.
    Please HELP me. The old iMovie was much better. :-(.
    Tks a lot
    Gil

    Try first sharing to Media Browser from iMovie in the Large Size.
    After it is finished, you should be able to see it in the Media browser on the iDVD side of things. Drag it into a new project and continue working in iDVD.

  • How do I import a SPSS .sav file into SQL 2008 r2 using SSIS

    Hi there,
    Like the title says, I'm trying to import an SPSS .SAV file into an SQL 2008 R2 database using SSIS.
    I've tried a few things, but i cant seem to get it to work properly. I'm hoping there's someone out there who could point me in the right direction.
    I've tried the following:
    Tried the IBM step by step manual (http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/spssdc/v6r0m1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.spss.ddl%2Faccess_odbc.htm)
    --Couldnt folow this guide because I didnt have the SPSS MR DM-2 OLE DB Provider.
    Tried installing the provider using (http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/spssdc/v7r0m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.spss.ddl%2Fdts_troubleshooting.htm) as a guide to download the provider listed (www-03.ibm.com/software/products/nl/spss-data-model).
    --This didnt work, I still could not see the provider listed after install and rebooting the server.
    Tried to get the file as CSV (Company couldnt provide it in CSV or another format)
    The server is a Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise 64-bit, has the Data Collection Data Model installed on it with SQL Server 2008 R2.
    If anyone could point me in the right direction they could make my day!
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Ronny,
    According to your description, you want to import a SPSS .sav file to SQL Server 2008 R2 database. If that is the case, we can achieve this requirement with SPSS or SQL query. For more details, please refer to the following methods:

  • Creating Save As .pdf workflows to be used in the Print dialogue box

    Hi all,
    I am new to Automator, and am trying to work out how to set up workflows to print/save documents, especially emails, as .pdf in a range of different folders.
    For example, I am using Thunderbird for email and when I got to the Print dialogue box, I get the PDF drop-down menu at the bottom left. When I bring up this menu, one of the options is 'Save PDF to Web Receipts folder'.
    However, I would like to add a few more folders to speed up the process of saving emails to different places. I have tried the Edit option, and tried in Automator but cannot set up a similar workflow to create more 'Save PDF to...' options.
    Can anyone give me some tips on how to do this.
    Thanks,
    Daniel.

    Hi Dan!
    In Automator help we read:
    Print Workflow plug-in
    These workflows perform actions on files that have been saved as PDFs. They can be chosen from the PDF pop-up in the Print dialog. The file is first saved as a PDF formatted file, then the path to the PDF is passed to the first action of the workflow.
    So this means your workflow could consist of just one action: Move Finder Items. I set this up with the To: field set to my desktop, and then selected Save As Plug-in from the File menu, gave it a name, and selected Print Workflow from the drop-down box. That's it! When I went to go print something, the workflow showed up in the menu automatically. (:

  • How do you " properly " reply to Apple support once they've contacted you?

    This sounds very minuscule ( I KNOW) , but I am pretty sure I am doing this correctly. I am having some issues with my iTunes and need tech support. I've emailed them and got a response from tech very swiftly, asking for specific information and screen shots. I did this...to respond, I just click on reply ( in my email account ; yahoo) and then continue inserting required info.
    Now...l I've sent the response , only to get back a day later, an email  stating pretty much this :
    'Your message has been enqueued and undeliverable for 1 day'

  • Project implementation  process and toll using for the implemetation

    what r the steps involved in project implementaion

    hi,
    The ASAP methodology is recommended by SAP for implementation planning and system implementation. It has the following phases.
    Project Preparation - The primary focus of Phase 1 is getting the project started, identifying team members and developing a high-level plan.
    Business Blueprint - The primary focus of Phase 2 is to understand the business goals of the company and to determine the business requirements needed to support those goals.
    Realization - The purpose of this phase is to implement all the business and process requirements based on the Business Blueprint. You customize the system step by step in two work packages, Baseline and Final configuration.
    Final Preparation - The purpose of this phase is to complete testing, end-user training, system management and cut over activities. Critical open issues are resolved. Upon the successful completion of this phase, you will be ready to run your business in your productive R/3 system.
    Go Live and Support - Transition from a project oriented, pre-productive environment to a successful and live productive operation.

  • How do I get apps 2 stop printing after they've been stopped on the website? It still prints.

    When I first bought the computer I clicked on the daily recipe printing app and after a week of wasted ink, I went to the website and stopped the print (or so I thought). I even removed the app, but it is still printing. I can't afford to keep printing this every day. I just want it to stop printing. Please help.

  • HT204053 How can I remove an apple Id ( hotmail address)which is being used in the app store and iTunes but is actually a blocked account and use a current live account which is now set for mail etc ?

    I have 2 apple iDs ( hotmail accounts) one of which was set up some time ago and not used for awhile in which time it has become blocked. This Id is set up in iTunes and the app store. It is linked to an old email address which is no longer used which means I can't retrieve a code to reactivate. What I want to do is remove this inactive hotmail account and use the other for all access with iTunes, app store, iCloud,mail etc. without losing all apps and credits. Can this be achieved ? My daughter needs the iPad at school and at the moment can't use iCloud and mail and I am scared to add more iTunes credit when there is a problem with this account... I am desperate and have tried everything I know, thanks

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
    For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

  • How can I get my music files back when they are no longer on the computer?

    So the problem I am having is that I cannot play songs on the playlist because "the file cannot be located" error.  I checked the iTunes media folder and they weren't there. I searched my whole computer and they still could not be found.
    The story behind the problem is that I pretty sure all the songs I am having troubles with were ones I purchased on my iPod Touch itself. Several months ago when I plugged my iPod into the computer so it could sync ( my iPod is old and can't connect to the WiFi anymore forcing me to buy songs on my computer again.) The songs purchased on my iPod showed up on my playlist on my computer but they had the "!" next to them and they were no longer on my iPod and when I tried to get them back on I got the "cannot be located" error. I then checked the iTunes music folder again and the only songs there were songs I purchased on my computer.
    I am extremely frustrated. When I go to the iTunes store under "Purchases" they all show up however there is no way for me to download them again onto my computer because the "download" button cannot be clicked on because I am assuming it thinks the songs are already on the computer, but I know they aren't. I tried organizing my songs option and that didn't do anything.
    Is there any way to download them again? Or at least tell the iTunes store that they aren't located on my computer anymore so I can download them again?
    If I lost hundreds of dollars of music because the iTunes software is a piece a ****...

    You might want to post this question to the iTunes Windows forum rather than the iPod forum - try iTunes for Windows
    Just a note of encouragement - I doubt very much you've lost your music - they remember what you've purchased forever and as long as the content is still on the iTunes store you should never loose anything (however sometimes content is removed from the store for various reasons and in that cause if you don't have a local copy on your iTunes library it is not recoverable - but that issue is relatively infrequent) - it's just a question of why iTunes won't let you download it again. good luck...

  • How to trash pref./folders relocation & save projects

    Hi all
    My equipment is iMac2011 version 10.6.8, with 2 HD – one for system and the other one is for scratch. I have 3 questions:
    (1) I have some projects done and I already burn them to idvd.  Now I wish to know how do I clear these projects at the same time to keep enought materials for future dvd burning.
    (2) I understand some preferences folders should be trashed to refresh the FCE system that is including the com.apple.FinalCutExpress.plist Folder and the Final Cut Express User Data Folder.  It’s easy to trash the .plist  but when I open the User Data Folder, there are several items inside: i.e. Custom Settings folder (it is empty); Plugins folder containing: PieroF_AutoPanZoom_v1.1Rfxscrip (Simple Text Format); Final Cut Express Obj Cache.fcmch file (Final Cut Express File); Final Cut Express Prof Cache.fcpch (Final Cut Express configuration file); and Final Cut Express 4.0 Prefs fcset (Final Cut Express Configuration File). I appreciate some one would take time to explain these items and tell me which one should be trashed and why.
    (3) Right now my Project File is sitting inside the Autosave  vault (Scratch Disk>Final Cut Express Documents> Autosave Vault) which I think is not right and I think it should be in the System Disk>Documents>Final Cut Express Documents. If what I think is right, then I should relocate the Autosave Vault Folder from Scratch to System Disk and at the same time, the Project file in trhis folder shgould be removed from there and to store it in the Movie Folder, but I don't know
    how.
    There must be some one out there don’t mind to take time to explain the above and show me how to solve all these problems.  P Sum
    Thank you all

    (1) Make and save a disc image of the final DVD; you can burn future copies from the disc image ... or just keep a finalized DVD disc to use for making copies.
    (2) Normally you would only  trash preference files if they become corrupted, but when you do need to trash them, use this free app to trash do it the proper (and easy) way: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/ .  It will also allow you to make backups of preferences so you don't lose all of your settings files in case of corruption.
    (3) The project file will reside wherever you choose to save it in the first place.  Normally, one would not choose the Autosave Vault since autosave files are simply backups of your project file.  The Autosave Vault should be on another physical hard drive so if the drive your project file resides on crashes, the latest autosave file will keep you from losing all your work.  I save project files in my User folder on the main hard drive and keep autosave files on the drive I use as the Capture/Scratch disc.

  • Archiving an edited project

    Just finished a couple rather large projects and I could really use the real estate right away. Can anyone share a methodology that will help me archive assets scattered across several drives and save the project so that I could re-capture the original tapes and be right back where I left off? Many thanks.

    As Shane said, if you captured using TIme Code, and you still have the (properly labeled) original tapes with no breaks in Time Code, you can safely trash your Media files as FCP will accurately recapture if needed in the future. But if you used Capture Now, you’ll have a non-time code project and you’ll need to preserve the original Media Files as they can’t be accurately re-captured.
    All still images, Motion files, Titles etc etc should also be preserved in the same folder as your Project File.
    If you just want to save your movie as it is, you can print to video - BUT . . . it will only give you an replica of the movie - there will be no clips to edit in the future and all transitions are embedded, so they can't be edited either.
    If you had several audio tracks, they'll be boiled down to one track - so no editing there either.
    Alternatively, use Media Manager to copy the project to one folder on an external drive - giving it a new name. MM can move just the part of a long Media File that's needed - and junk the rest.
    This will free-up loads of space if you have large or duplicated Media Files.
    Then, after you're satisfied that the new project will play from that drive, you can trash the original. But remember, MM won't copy Motion files etc etc - check that everything's there before you trash the original. I like to make certain of this by having the drive which contains the original, disconnected when playing back the copy. You can't be too certain!
    Render files can be trashed as you can re-render at any time.
    Hope this helps.

    ummm...you test it using the UTL_FILE package.
    BTW...you can also spool text files out of SQL*Plus on your local machine, without even needing UTL_FILE. but if you need to create files on a server, then UTL_FILE is the way to go.
