How Do You Save FCPX Projects in the Cloud?

I routinely access a project on two computers, and want to be able to store that project in the cloud.  I have access to Dropbox and File Transporter.  Is there a specific way to do this that is most efficient?
Thanks.

You can't work from the cloud; it's not fast enough, but you can use it to pass projects back and forth. Both machines need to have all the media, and the media needs to be external, including the cache files. You cannot use managed media for this, not for a production of any real size.
The process basically is that you work on one machine and when you're done you upload the library to the cloud. When you go to the other machine, you download the library from the cloud and continue working. The process repeats back and forth. That's the basic plan. To make it more efficient you can just upload the changes you made by making a new library and copying the project or event into it to have a minimal, transfer library.  You use transfer libraries to just move what you need up and down. This is more efficient as libraries, even with external media, can get quite large.

  • Can/How do you save excel files to the cloud?

    How, if at all, can you save excel files to icloud?

    I think you need to upgrade your MacOS.  Mine is running MacOS X 10.8.4. 
    I am running Numbers '09 v2.3.
    Need to sign on to iCloud under Mac Preference Settings.
    When I start Numbers, I can view files stored on iCloud, or locally on the Mac harddisk.
    Hope it helps.

  • How do you save "game state" so the user can continue next time?

    I'm not sure what the correct game terminology is for this, but how do you save "game state" so the user can continue next time?
    This seems like a pretty important feature for building some games, we don't want users to have to start over everytime.
    Any ideas if this is possible?

    Check out my blog post on the PersistenceManager:
    http://www.unitedmindset.com/jonbcampos/2010/11/01/flex-4-5-persistencemanager/
    This will help you understand how to store the data. When the app starts up again get the state information from the persistencemanager and reset you game to the state you need. It requires a bit of code for the startup, but it is relatively simple.

    All you have to do is delete it in the iBooks app (tap Edit, tap the book, tap Delete).  If you don't want to see it on your bookshelf after deleting it, choose Books rather than Purchased Books from the Collections mene.

  • 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 save my files from the recovery HD.

    My Macbook keeps processing, so I went to the recovery hd amd mac os x utilitiles.  from this point i am trying save my files so i can erase disk using disk utility.  any ideas.

    If you have an external hard drive, you can use the Restore tab in Disk Utility to copy the contents of one disk to another.  Note that this will erase the destination drive, and may very well fail.  You could also use the command line in the Terminal from recovery mode and copy files that way, but that requires knowledge of how to use Unix filesystem commands.  You could also try connecting the Mac to another Mac via Firewire target disk mode and copy the data that way.
    Alternately, if your Mac won't start up, you could try just repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility and then installing Mac OS X on top of your existing system.  That will replace all the system files but leave your files and apps alone.  (Of course, things can go wrong in cases like this, so making some kind of backups would be a good idea.)

    How do you get contacts from an Iphone 4s to a PC through Icloud?

    http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html
    You have to use outlook in order to integrate contacs with PC, since that is the only program that syncs with cloud. Or you can use a "poor man's" version, by accessing those contacts over www.icloud.com website and managing there.

  • How do I save photos stuck in the cloud to my computer?

    About a month ago I accidentally threw my phone in the wash, killing it.  When I bought my new phone the guy failed to mention that I could restore everything back to what it was and by the time I discovered I could, I'd already gotten myself knee deep into my new phone.  I had a lot of senitmental pictures on there that I'd like to get back, out of the cloud and onto my Mac.  I've just spent seriously 5 hours trying to update this **** thing and now I'm still lost trying to get that content saved to the computer so that I can delete it and stop getting the reminder that my cloud is full.  Is it completely lost and do I have to just delete it to make more room?
    Also, complete side note, but I HATE that my scroll is inversed where if I want to scroll down a page I have to push up on my touch pad.  Can I undo that too??

    The only way to recover your camera roll photos from an iCloud backup is to restore the backup to your phone.  What you can do is back up your phone to your computer using iTunes, then restore the backup and save the recovered photos, then restore the backup you made on your computer to get back to where you are now.  To do this, do the following:
    Connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Tranfer Purchases.  When this finishes click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.
    Eject your phone from iTunes and disconnect it from your computer.  Go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts, choosing the backup of your old phone to restore to.  Be sure it is connected to wifi and your charger as it is restoring the backup.
    When the backup finishes, import the recovered camera roll photos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes and click Restore Backup, choosing the backup you made at step 1 to restore from.  This should return your phone to it's current state.
    If you want the photos you recovered on your phone, put them in an event in iPhoto, then select the event to sync to your phone on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync your phone.
    You can't change the scrolling behavior of your phone.  In time it will seem natural.

  • How do you save sample regions in the EXS24 instrument editor?

    Hi There, I don't if my memory has failed me or something was changed in Logic pro 9 but I can't get a EXS24 instrument to save the sample region sections I set?? I open EXS24 click on edit, click on load zone, load a sample, click on edit in sample editor, set the region and then the new region doesn't set inside the EXS24 sample editor window? Tried saving the instrument, but it doesn't up date the selection? It just keeps the entire waveform as the sample? What am I doing wrong here? In the past this was really simple, you just moved the region on the sample area you want and the sample begin and end setting automatically update inside the EXS24 instrument editor window and then you just saved the instrument and each piece of the audio file as and how you set it was then on your keyboard ready to be used. Can anyone help me out here?
    Thanks

    Got it to work, seems I had to resave the audio file again... weird glitch...

  • How do I save my music in the cloud like my phone? (I have iTunes Match), How do I save my music in the cloud like my phone? (I have iTunes Match)

    My iPad 2 used almost 10 GB of memory yet I have iCloud, iTunes Match and it only uses 250 MB on my cell phone (with all the same music). How do I use iCloud like my iPhone 4S  and save all music there?
    Thx

    If you are using iTunes Match on all your devices, then you are able to just delete songs from your devices in order to free up local space again and then re-download them whenever you want. I assume that you do not have the all the same music on your iPhone already downloaded, it is only shown to you with a little cloud icon which means that you are able to download them.
