How to move sound track with video to another drive

If I want to work on a project on another Mac, I copy the iMovie Events and Projects folders to a portable drive, then drag them into the correct folders of the other Mac. (Not sure if this is the best way, but it works.) But the sound track is missing if I don't have the same songs in that Mac's iTunes. What's the best way to keep the song with the project when I transfer to another Mac?

I tried the Consolidate command, and I see how it works, copying the events or clips to another >drive. But how does the music track get transferred? I don't see it in the copied folder.
If you followed the instructions, the music track is there. It is probably in the Project file. If you right click on the RCPROJECT file, select "Show Package Contents" and see if you can spot it.
If I consolidate from one computer to a portable drive, what happens when I plug the portable >drive into another computer? Does iMovie just see the project and events on the external drive? Or >do I have to drag them to the new computer's drive? What about the music tracks? Do I have to >import them into the other computer's iTunes?
Yes, iMovie sees the external drive, and you can work on your movie. If you prefer, you could drag the RCPROJECT file to the Movies/iMovie Events Folder and then run the Consolidate command again to move everything to the new computer, but you really don't need to. It should work fine on the external drive.
The external drive must be formatted as Mac OX Extended (journaled)

  • How to move music from one video to another.

    I have two videos.  I want to take the sound off of a video, and delete only the video part.  Then,  put the soundtrack onto another video clip.   I can detach the sound from the video, but if i delete the video, the sound track goes with it.  I can see a tiny appendage that continues to connect the sound track to the video track - shown below just above the 1.2m.   How do I break that appendage?  thanks

    Add another clip at the beginning of the video (anything, it doesn't matter what) and move the sound track to the left so the 'hook' is now pointing to this clip.  You can then delete the video and the sound track will remain and can be selected,copied and pasted into the other video.

  • How to move all FC X files to another drive?

    I want to move all my FC X stuff.  Everything currently resides on a Western Digital Firewire 800 eSATA drive.  I'm working on a MacPro tower with 20 GB of RAM and 4 cores.  I'm not overly pleased with the performance when FC X accesses this drive and it gets hot, really hot (burn your hand hot) when backround rendering for large files.  I suspect moving the whole kit and kaboodle to an internal SATA would improve overall performance a bit and I can use smcFanControl to regulate the temperature.
    The question:  By doing this will FC X lose all the links to the source files that I've already used in projects?  If so, how do I reconnect media?
    I have about two tons of source footage that I imported from cam archives primarily as an excersise when I was first beginning to learn about importing footage in the new app, so much of it is not critical (I can always reimport from the original archives safely held on another drive) however, they've already been analysed and sorted into smart collections at this point and I may want to use some on future projects.  So - should I delete events not used in projects thus far and then properly move the ones that are used in projects via the Move command in the FILE drop down menu or just copy all the files and folders in the FC X folder on the eSATA drive to the internal drive via the finder?  I'm not currently in the middle of any projects.  All have been succesfully completed and rendered out as movies.  The clients are all happy and the most important thing - the checks all cleared, so no worries there.  Benefits? Pitfalls?  Any opinions?  We're talking about 1.5 TB of data here.

    I guess the eSATA firewire 800 drive was just not quite fast enough for constant read/write access or maybe it was overheating.  I put all the camera archives over there and everything seems fine now.
    Shouldn't be the case, I've cut successfully from a 500gb My Passport Studio HD But keeping in mind I transcode my media.

    BTW, the really large events files not referenced in any current projects were able to be moved via the finder much faster than from within FCP X without any noticeable problems.
    I always transfer via finder however I try not suggesting that because it's something you have to feel very comfortable with.
    Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.... Happy editing

  • How to match sound track to movie pictures? (the sound track is shorter)

    I have a sound (narrative) track of approx 1 hr which talks about the movie film. However the film I have, is a slightly different version, that is about 10 min longer then the sound track and I would like to restore the match, e.g. by something like cutting the sound track and inserting blanks, or cutting and moving the sound a couple of seconds. Note I'm totally new to Premiere V 10. I presume I would have to use start and end marks in the sound track and place the subsequent sound parts on a new sound (or narrative?) track (but it seems I will need to introduce additional silent parts, I cannot just move (drag?) the next sound track a couple of seconds to the left.
    I would guess there are a couple of easy tricks to achieve my goal.
    Thank you in advice.
    Rob Tausk

    Well well: not easy nor trivial at all, but I haven’t given up as yet! I’ll describe my workflow below.
    1.       Play video fragment, and comparing film picture and sound estimate position where I need to introduce a silent period and it length.
    2.       By double click play sound “comment track” on the monitor and set end stop (I would actually prefer if the sound track could be zoomed to more easily/accurately find best position)
    3.       Play mute sound clip in preview and set time length with end stop and close preview
    4.       Move mute clip to comment track, which has been shortened in step 2
    5.       Play main sound clip in Preview and set start point
    6.       Move this sound clip to comment track.
    But sometime things go slightly wrong, e.g. when moving mute or sound fragment to “comment track” I find that the video track cuts (not intended)
    Another difficulty I still need to master is related to the phenomena you mentioned before, related to moving sound clips, parts which were before the starting point show up (e.g. drag edges).
    I hope you can roughly follow my explanatory story (I realise writing such workflow is difficult and critically depends on the same use of words concepts definitions and jargon (note my Adobe Premiere Elements is in Dutch).
    I’d much appreciate your comments (maybe another software would be friendly to the inexperienced senior citizen)

  • Disappearing Sound Track on Video Files Downloaded on CS4

    Dear friends on the forum;
    I have a Sony PD 150 camcorder. I took several videos on it which I subsequently downloaded to my PC (using Windows XP, Home Edition).   I recall trying to increase the sound volumne on a couple of them, without a lot of success.  Anyway, when I went to check these files today I found that the sound track was non-existent! 
    Can anyone shed light as to why this happened, how I can prevent it happening in future and if I can somehow retrieve the missing sound track?
    Many thanks!
    Lewis

    I tried making the media off-line then re-linking it to the video file on my hard drive but no luck, Hunt.  My audio is indeed flatlline; no sound both in the source and on the timeline.  Is there any hope, do you think or should I just chalk this one up to experience and be careful not to do any copy/pasting.  I consider this a serious flaw in Adobe.
    Thanks for your kind input!

    What was supposed to have (hopefully) happened?
    You should have gotten the Link Media dialog to fix your Audio.
    Now, Copy/Paste has been known to "loose" the Audio. It does not always happen, and sometimes it seems to work for a bit, and then the Audio goes flatline. Re-Linking the Media usually works fine.
    Is your Audio "flatline?" When you Dbl-click on it, does it open in the Source Monitor with a Waveform? Does it play OK in the Source Monitor and not the Timeline, or both?
    Good luck,

  • How to move multiple clips with transitions?

    Im still transitioning from FCP7 to FCP 10.1.2 and can't believe I have missed the lesson that explains how to move multiple clips with transitions.
    Up till now I have tried several work arounds including deleting all the transitions then using the (P) Position tool to move the clips from the primary track to some track above it then re adding all the transitions.  This is a function I do on a daily basis.  Am I missing something?  Please help!
    Thank you

    With some further investigation, the transitions have nothing to do with my problem.  In my case there was a tiny “Black gap slug” within the group that was preventing me from being able set it on top of another group of clips or gap someplace.  But even with the gap removed… I can move the clips on top of another group but the transitions stay behind on the primary (Magnetic)
    In the screen shot you can see what happens when I move a group out of the primary (magnetic) timeline onto a gap.  All the transitions get left behind. 
    Ive notices that Cutting and pasting will only paste the sequence some other place on the primary (magnetic) timeline for me.
    An example of why I would want to put a cropped/ resized group on top of another group is to do picture in picture effects or if I wanted to create a background behind a set of adjusted clips.

  • I updated to IOS 8 but my C drive is out of space i couldn't restore my data back; how could move itunes with backup to another drive

    I updated to IOS 8 but my C drive is out of space i couldn't restore my data back; how could move itunes with backup to another drive
    or what could i do

    There are two solutions . . . I run my iTunes Library off an external hard drive. However, this may limit the portability of your library. Though a La Cie Rugged external would help with that (I love mine, though I use it for diagnostics and repair, not for iTunes--but it does get around).
    You can also upgrade your hard drive as was previously suggested. I've bought my recent hardware from: http://www.powerbookmedic.com
    They have lots of parts and great manuals!
    Good luck!

    If the drag & drop functionality is enabled you can drag the catalog and drop it in another InfoArea just as you do with files on your PC.
    The other procedure is Use the right mouse button to create an InfoObject catalog in the InfoArea. If you want to make a copy of an existing InfoObject catalog, specify a reference InfoObject catalog.

  • How do you export 4 discrete mono audio tracks with video from Adobe Premiere Pro 4/Adobe Encoder?

    I've posted this question in different terms a few times and have not had an answer.  I can't find the answer on the Premiere Pro support site either (which makes me think that a simple solution doesn't exist)
    We use adobe premiere pro 4.  We capture DVCAM tapes with 4 discrete audio channels.  When we export the video using adobe encoder, the result is stereo tracks with the discrete audio channels mixed together which is completly useless to us.  When I select Mono for the output settings, two channels of audio are mixed into one audio channel.  Also useless. 
    When capturing the clip, we always use the mono timeline and modify the clips to mono. We can edit the discrete audio channels but when we export the video, the audio is mixed down. 
    this is the problem.  Each of our  4 audio channels contain a different language of dialogue.  When exported, these 4 get mixed down to 2 mixed channels blending of course the language. 
    Can Premiere Pro 4 export discrete mono audio channels?  How do you do it?
    Does version 6 have the ability to export 4 discrete mono channels?

    Hi Steve,
    Important info is missing from your post - what format are you wanting to export to, and for what purpose? We need to know how the exported file is intended to be used. Who's going to view it, using what gear? Is it for another editor to work with? End user viewing?
    Thanks
