How do YOU backuo your project files?

I am making my first iPhone game with Cocos2d. Its A LOT more work than my web browser app. I really don't want to lose my work and have to start again. So I was wondering how people on this forum backup their project files. I'm on a MacBook so I can't have an external HD connected all the time. I heard something about subversion servers. How would I set one up? Could I use my old mac mini to make one? What are other ways to backup my project files?

It depends on what the person hiring me wants. Currently I am using subversion for some projects and gethub for others. I have used subversion the most though.

  • How can you open a project file backup if the main project won't load?

    This has only started happening in the last couple of weeks. I'm on Logic 10.0.7, OSX 10.8.5. On one particular project, it will be loading seemingly normally, then it just disappears with no crash log, nothing.
    Presumably there is some sort of corruption in the project file.
    In the old pre package days, you would just go to the project file backups folder and pick a previous one. Bingo, you have only lost a little bit of work.
    Now when I show package contents, the project file backups folder has project data files that won't open logic, and are invisible until you have logic open. Which I can't do.
    Rue the day I selected the package option rather than folder.
    Any suggestions?
    Or to put the question another way, how can I convert the project data in the project file backups folder to a file that Logic can recognise and open?

    Having his install the trial is the way to go. Working between AI versions is a pain and as you are finding out almost impossible with 5 versions between the collaborators.

  • How can you tell FCPX project files in a deleted trash recovery program

    Hello All
    Did the unthinkable and trashed a FCPX project folder I need.....and emptied the trash.
    I immediatly went into recovery with program ''Stellar Phoenix...'' and was able to recover loads of files.
    Since they are now ''generic'' labeled, I can't decifer which one is the FCPX project file.
    Does anyone have a method to determine which is which in a recovery situation.
    Some further info....
         recovered files are organized in folders by types:
                   OSX 10.6
                   graphics
                   documents
                   apps......sub folders to include: ''c source...plist....apple scripts....etc
                   video
                   audio
                   archive
                   and a few more..
    It seems apparent that it's not going to be video,audio. graphics...etc
    but I was thinking ''apple scripts'' as a project is just instructions for the timeline movie, right?
    anyway, have a lot of searching to do and no real map on what I'm looking at here.
    Anyone had an experience like this and can shed some light?
    ...greatly appreciate it
    Thanks!

    Monty,
    Within FCP, there is a menu item called "Media Manager" (depending on what version you are in). This would be worth your while to look into. It basically organizes your project by moving/archiving any used assets of a project and leaving out un-used assets. It saves a ton of disk space.
    For example, say you have a 5 minute clip with an in/out point that is just 30 seconds. Media Manager will "archive" just that 30 seconds, not the entire clip. There is even a setting that you can add additional "handles" time to the front andd back of the clip if you think you may need to add or change transition.
    Do a google search. I was just watching a few Youtube videos on this myself.

  • How do you plan your project?

    I'm thinking of recommending Captivate 3 to a client who does
    live training sessions for hospital workers, and has had no online
    options until now.
    I have a basic understanding of how the program works, but
    how do you begin brainstorming and planning your project? Once you
    determine the audience's needs and your goals, do you draw a
    schematic diagram on paper, actually develop the content and
    interactions within the program, or....?

    The view (and actions) taken by Phillip's firm are more and
    more the "standard" or "best practice" of professional Captivate
    developers. Small "bite sized" learning pieces make the act of
    checking a specific task quick and easy for the end-student-user.
    As an instructor, I put a lot of emphasis on storyboarding.
    Paper and pencil works best for me as the first step, but "Word" is
    then used as the next step in creating a script prior to starting
    to record in Captivate.
    In summary, creating short, precise Captivate projects
    from a storyboard and written script is the best way to
    build effective eLearning objects, as well as the most effective
    method for quick and easy (easier) editing for the developer
    (especially when changes are needed "post-production") - it is just
    best for everyone.

  • How can you fix corrupt Project Files in Final Cut Pro X?

    Hello All,
    I have reason to believe that one of my project files in Final Cut Pro X is corrupt.
    How may I begin to resolve this issue?  Is there a third party software someone could recommend, like Digital Rebellion (if they have software for FCP X, I'm not sure) that may improve, if not hopefully solve this issue?
    Many thanks!!
    Molly

    Had a similar problem.
    Follow it here:

    among other steps taken I used Corrupt Clip Finder to isolate/remove the culprit and all was OK after that
    no idea how/why the file ( which I''d been using over 5 previous versions) became corrupted

  • Using iMovie, how do you transfer your project so that it becomes a movie with a .mov extension?

    I have a few projects.  Some of them have ended with a .mov extension, but others have not.
    Not sure if i did anything different, but how would I get a .mov extension on a project I already created?

    No, transferring between machines does not work.  You need to install using installation files.  You can download thru the following and use your serial number to activate...

  • How Do You Work Your Logic Files In Sonar and Pro-Tools?

    Hey guys, it's my 1st post. I have a MB Pro and Logic Pro 8 and I'm going to be working in a studio that has Sonar and Pro-Tools in another room. I'm going to be doing my pre-production with my MB Pro and then do the mixing in Sonar because the acoustics is bad at home. How do I proceed thus? In what format do I save my Logic File in order to be opened in Sonar and Pro-Tools? Can Sonar read Logic files? Can Pro-Tools read Logic too?

    Hi, if >download Additional Content< is still available, then select it and Logic will attempt to download everything needed. If there's no activity then you're done and if something went wrong, on your network for instance, you'll receive an alert stating otherwise I suppose.
    Have a nice day!

  • How can you tell if a file is being used in your project or not?

    How can you tell if a file in your bin is being used in your project or not? My director dragged hundreds of reference files into my project and only used a few of them. I'd like to do some house cleaning and delete the ones that are not in use. This project file has 100 sequences in it, so it would be a tough manual hunt to figure this out.
    In Premiere Pro (or Flash for example), where all the information is in the Project Bin such as in/out times and duration, there is where it tells you how many times that piece of media has been used or if it hasn't been used yet.
    Can FCP tell me this info?
    Thanks for yout time!

    How do you save your artwork in Photoshop CC 2014 as an PNG or JPEG file when it doesn't give the option?
    Thanks for your time and help in advance.

    Thanks for replying. I actually got it to work. I had my work set to 32 Bits/Channel in stead of 16 or 8. Once I changed it to 16bit/Channel, it gave me the option to save as either file. Thanks again.

    How do you save a stereo file of your GarageBand mix, to increase the # of tracks you can record?

    In the Bounce Window, choose "Split" instead of "interleaved" from the File Type menu to bounce your mix as separate mono files
    Regarding the gain correction, use Automation

  • How do you load a pdf file to your computer once its been created

    how do you load a pdf file to your computer once its been created

    Hello there,
    Once you have created a PDF file with Acrobat.com, this file will live in your file organizer; if you select the file, you will have the option to download it. You can do this either while viewing the document (by clicking the "Download" button in the top menu bar) or from your organizer (hovering over the file name, you will see a little arrow; click it, and in the resulting menu choose "Download"). In both cases, you will be prompted to choose the location on your computer to which to save the file. Once you have chosen a spot, the file will be saved there.
    Please let me know if you need any more information on this process.
    Best,
    Rebecca

    in digital editions how to you access the pdf file on your computer - I want to read in acrobat as digital editions too hard to read.@@

    On Mac, try looking in:
    /Users/dug.geo/Documents/Digital Editions
    On Windows, look for "Digital Editions" in "My Documents". If it's not there, look one level above "My Documents".
    If you know the filename of the PDF, you could also try doing a file system search for it.

  • Your project file is not readable!!!

    Okay. I'm about ready to have a nervous breakdown. I'm new to imovie, so I'm hoping there's someone who can help . . .
    Basically, after working hours and hours on a project, (w/ my editing getting more and more complicated) out of nowhere it gives me a 'your project file is not readable.' I diligently save every couple of minutes, empty the trash, etc., but it still happens.
    I thought it was my little ibook at home being the culprit, but after bringing it into work on a G5, dual processor it happened again!
    Any help would be so appreciated. Thank you.

    Welcome to the iMovie Discussion.
    That's a known problem. It can happen after emptying the iMovie trash in versions 2 through 4. There are other contributing factors too. It doesn't happen often, but it happens.
    Go to the following forum page, then use your Web browser to find this text: "I'm receiving many requests". My message starting with that text describes how to send me information needed to (hopefully) rescue the project.
