How to trash media after project is done

I'm using FCP 7. I just finished a project, burned to DVD, saved a QT (full resolution) in my external HD and now I would like to get rid of all the media I used for the project for disk space purpose.
Can someone please tell me how do I do that? I have an external HD where I keep all my FCP projects (scratch disk).
Also, once I do that, will I still be able to edit the saved project in the future (the one I keep in my internal HD) or once the media is gone, you can't do anything else?
Thank you very much.

If the QT file you exported was self-contained, then you can edit that later if needed.
To delete files associated with that project, open your scratch disc and locate the folders bearing that project's name. There should be a folder with that project's name inside these folders on your scratch disc:
Audio Render Files
Autosave Vault
Capture Scratch
Render Files
Also locate the Thumbnail Cache and the Waveform Cache folders; files for that project will also be located in those two folders, but not in their own named folder.
Move all of the above to the trash, then delete the trash.
Since the project file itself is relatively small, I recommend that you keep that one ... just in case you ever need to re-capture/re-edit.

How to organize media and project?

Hi every one
I have a couple of questions regarding planning & organization of files/folder:
Presently, I have organized as Macintosh>Users>Home>LaCie>Project.
And within the Projects I have logged & captured clips.
When I hit the Project the browser opens where clips are organized.
questions:
1. Is this an efficient way of organizing the Media & its elements? If not, what and how the best way are: Please give me an example
2. How can I bring the Project and its elements & Media file into a folder? In the finder I don't see any folder/files except the User Folder and the Project Icon.
3. If I want to import some of the elements of one project into another project iin the Browser I cannot do it unless I have to import the entire Project with its elements. How can I import elements of different project and even Media file? Thank you for your help. Faruk

I have the main macintosh HD, and 2 internal hardrives... one labelled "Capture" and the other labelled "Render"
the way i setup my files are as follows.
1. on the Render drive, i made a folder titled "FCP Projects" within that folder I create another folder for every project I create complete with "Pics" folders "Audio" folders and whatever outside elements you want to bring in to your session..... this keeps all those files in one place when you go to archive them.
1a. Within the FCP projects folder (along with my project folders) I created a "-FCP Files-" folder.....I use the dashes to keep the folder at the top of the list.. This is where I tell FCP to send all audio render, autosaves, render files, thumbnail cashes, and wave form cashes to...... for all projects. Basically everything but the capture scratches..... that goes on the Capture harddrive.
2. when I archive a project.... all I take is the project folder from the Render drive with all the pics and audio.... and ignore the fcp files (even the render files) then on the capture harddrive... i back up the capture scratch folder for the specific project.....
3. if you ever HAVE to load the session back to re edit.... you'll have all the media but need to re render......
hope that made sense...... I'll attempt to confuse you even more by making a crappy diagram.... but it's worked great for me.

How to post costs after project close?

I wish to post costs to a project ( WBS/Network) after the status is set to close?
Can you please tell me how we can do it.

In the Closed status you can no longer make any changes to the project hierarchy. The status is passed on to subordinate WBS elements.
The status allows
You to post actual costs to orders and networks that are assigned to the WBS element, as long as their status permit this
The status prohibits
You from assigning networks, production orders or CO orders to the WBS element.
You from posting actual costs to the WBS element
The status deactivates assets in construction that are assigned to the WBS element.
You can cancel the Closed status. In this case the system sets the Technically completed status.
However, it is best not to post costs to the subordinate WBS/network either. If required, undo the CLSD status and post.

What is iMovie doing after update? How can I tell when it's done?

"Updating" a whole lot of old iMovie events to the new iMovie 10 library.
When I tried to trash the old events the OS warned that they were "still in use". No problem, I thought. Shut down iMovie, and then trash the old events.
Well, when you try to shut down iMovie it tells you there are still "tasks being completed in the background" and that if you shut down they won't ever be completed.
so......
What are these tasks? (iMovie 10, after a big import, is using about 20-25% of a CPU continuously, according to Activity Monitor)
If I do shut down despite the warning what are the consequences?
How can I tell when it's done and I can safely shut down iMovie? (I guess I sould wait and see if it ever stops warning me).

Did you read the manual? It's usually explained on what does all this stuff mean on the screen. I don't think the manual that comes with the Micro isn't the player's guide but if you install the software I think, you can look it up by going through Start>Program Files>Creative>Creative Zen Micro>User Guide. This is the default directory.
Anyway, yes your Micro is charging and if you want to play your music on your MP3 player while it's charging you can use Nomad Explorer to play the music on your computer or use Creative Mediasource to play the music and hear it from your MP3 player. You can't control your MP3 player so just use your computer. It's not that hard to learn.

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.

How do I create a project site after I publish a project in Project Server 2013?

How do I create a project site after I publish a project from project pro 2013 in Project Server 2013? I'm trying to look for an option in the ribbon but haven't found any.
Thanks
James T.F

Hi James,
See in the article the procedure for site provisionning settings.
Note that the project site is created based on the template associated to the chosen project type (EPT) when the user first publishes his project. Be aware that if you allow the user to choose weither or not he'll create a sharepoint site when publishing
his project, he will be prompted in Project Pro with a dialog box giving the choice to create or not the site.
Hope this helps,

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.

HT202853 I have many project made in move HD that are not updating to the new iMovie 10 on my new iMac. Why is this not working as stated? How do I get my projects back from backup after old iMac crashed?

I have many projects made in imovie HD that are not updating to iMovie 10 on my new iMac. Why is this not working as stated on the article HT202853? How do I get my projects back from backup after old iMac crashed?

According to:
Update projects and events from previous versions of iMovie in iMovie (2014) - Apple Support
you can update from iMovie versions 7, 8 and 9, but iMovie HD is iMovie 6.
Maybe you can update in two steps, first from iMovie 6 to iMovie 7, 8 or 9 then to iMovie 10.

How do I delete the media after import from camera?

How do I delete the media after import from camera?

The usual procedure with video is you backup the card contents onto an archive drive. You import from the archive drive making a copy (professionals on set make two copies), and once the backups and import are verified, the card is reformatted in the camera.
