I created a master file of one of my projects and re= imported it as a test, can i break down the project again as individual clips and change it around.

I want to bring back a project that is in my documents saved as a masterfile. I put it there to save space. I just wrked out that files I have imported into events grow massivly so unless i really need them i will keep them outside of fcpx.
storage and management of media has become an issue and 1tb seems not so massive now.
if i can bring files and projects in and out of fcp then this will save slace as a short project and event can easilt exceed 100GB
It seems time consuming to bring back projects into the event browser, is there a more efficient way.
Where should I be keeping my footage as soon as I bring it out of my video camera, in iphoto?
Many Thanks,
Dave Thorne

Dave,
Importing files that are already on your computer into FCP does not add very much to file size unless the media are copied to the event – or optimized. Otherwise,  FCP just points to the media in the referenced event – wherever it's located on your system.
So if you create a new event to revisit the project, you can keep the file size down by choices you make in the import dialogue box Or…just use the original event.
But you need to have at least one event in your Event Library that FCP is referencing for your new project.
Don't keep you media in iPhoto. Ideally, it would be kept on a separate media drive in a folder, named according to whatever convention works best for you.

  • Since I migrated my files from one Mac to another and am now running Yosemite, Photoshop Elements 9 (adequate for what I do) is not showing the previous functionality on some of the tools. I have uninstalled/reinstalled twice to no avail.

    Since I migrated my files from one Mac to another and am now running Yosemite, Photoshop Elements 9 (adequate for what I do) is not showing the previous functionality on some of the tools. I have uninstalled/reinstalled twice to no avail.  Is there a fix? Also, when I tried to update, it comes up with this error.

    I have a similar problem. I found out that my macbook air created a new USER with my former's computer user name. You can check that by going into System Preferences -> User & Groups, and see if a "Other user" has been created. You have to login under this new USER to find your transferred contacts in the address book.
    My problem is that I do not know how to merge the 2 USER logins or transfer the data from the new USER created into the existing one.

    I am in the middle of a job using CS 6, but at the same time opening the Creative Suite apps.  I created an InDesign file in CS 6, saved it, and now I can't open it. I'm getting this message: Cannot open file because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (10.1). You must use that version or later to open the file." AARRGGHH! So how do I access the file?

    Sounds like you opened and saved it in CC, so now you need to go back to CC and either complete the project there, or export to IDML to take it back into CS6.

    Make a smart playlist of your whole library but only checked songs - #4 on  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1801
    Highlight all files in that playlist, then drag to the other drive.  This isn't preserving any playlists or whatever, just copying files from one drive to another.
    You might want to delete the smart playlist this once you are done because it will probably gobble up resources with that many files.

  • Just updated to itunes 12.1.0.71 - big problem - can no longer access the legacy "Get Info" where you could change multiple files, easily add artwork, add album name for TV show, and much more. In previous iTunes 12 you'd right click

    Just updated to itunes 12.1.0.71 - big problem - can no longer access the legacy "Get Info" where you could change multiple files, easily add artwork, add album name for TV show, and much more. In previous iTunes 12 you'd right click and hold shift key and be able to get to it. Anyone figured this out?

    The "legacy" metadata editors, for which there was a "back door" in iTunes 12.0, have gone from 12.1.  However, the revised editors in 12.1 provide access to (almost) all the metadata elements that were available in iTunes 11, albeit in a different layout and with some additional constraints based on media kind.  Some users have / will have an issue with the statement that "Get Info has been completely redesigned in iTunes 12 to focus your attention only on what’s necessary for the selected item" since that removes some metadata elements that people may have been using in creative ways.  iTunes 12.1 basically gives you access to the fields that Apple think are necessary ... .  Some of the things that have been excluded by this rule:
    track and disc number fields for video media kinds
    show and episode fields for music
    description tab for audiobooks made up of more than one file
    Obviously the first two examples can be regarded as "overloading" the metadata elements - i.e., using them in ways that the designers didn't intend - but given that some users do find valid cases for this it's a shame that they've been deprecated in the new UI.  There are couple of workarounds:
    in songs view (or any of the other columnar views), you can still select any fields to display, independent of media kind, and these can be edited (though only one at a time) by double-clicking in the relevant "cell"
    you can (temporarily) change the media kind of an item (or group of items) to get access to metadata elements that would otherwise be inaccessible.
    It may be worth submitting an issue via https://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html - I can't see it as a huge development task to have a user preference to switch between "show all fields" and "filter fields based on media kind".
    One other oddity/irritation is that some of the tabs don't, by default, show all the available fields - you need to scroll up/down to access them or to expand the window by dragging on one of its corners.  Fortunately, the latter seems to be persistent - once you've done this to make all the fields visible the editor will open at the same (larger) size when opened again.

    Not sure this will work but if you go into the Keyboard preferences, then click the Keyboad Shortcuts tab, and then the '+', you can add your own shortcuts for any application.  I am not sure what happens if you try to override an existing shortcut since I haven't tried using this.
    Edit/Update:
    Probably against my better judgement I'll also throw this out there - there's an Unsanity haxie called Menumaster which might also allow you to do what you want.  Against my better judgement because personally I stay clear of haxies.  It's (all haxies) probably almost certain to break in Lion.  They always do with each major release.

  • Error message when creating a Master File

    I have finished editing a multicam clip of a graduation ceremony which is an hour and 27 minutes long. Clients are anxiously awaiting the DVDs/BR discs.
    There are six "Rotation" and one "Ribbon" titles and 21 chapter markers in the timeline. None of the chapter markers are placed in a transition.
    I'm using 10.0.8 FCPX and OS 10.6.8.
    I've tried to create Master File in order to use Toast 11 titanium to make a Blu Ray disc but I've had the following message appear twice midway through the process:
    The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 152526 (error -1).
    Any suggestions as to what I might do to resolve this will be greatly appreciated. Or is there is another method to create a Blu Ray disc, I'd appreciate info.
    Thanks,
    Gary

    Go to Preferences and turn off Background Rendering.
    Select your project in the library and in the File menu, click on Delete project Render Files; choose All when prompted. Select your event and do the same with the event Render files. In the project use the range tool to select a short section. Try to export that as a test. Don't render before you export.
    If that doesn't work, copy the project and paste it into a fresh project. Try another export test.
    If that doesn't work, create a new user account.
    As for Blu Ray, there is a Share preset if want to check it out. Very simple menus. And the preset can only handle single tracks.
    Good luck.

  • I want to create an intelligent file to show all pictures with 3 stars or more. Trying this, I don't know the character of the stars to fill in the respective box ??

    I want to create an intelligent file in my finder to show all pictures with 3 stars or more. Trying this, I don't know the character of the stars to fill in the respective box ??
    Thanks for your help.

    Take a look here: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20110314131100623
    One of the comments suggests you can't use greater than or less than with the star rating in Finder.
    You might try a Raw Query with the kMDItemStarRating.
    In the criteria popup menu, select Other, then find the Raw Query entry.
    You might have to play around with the syntax, but try "kMDItemStarRating >= 3"

  • Errors After detaching file from associated master files through SPD ( including standard seattle and oslo)

    I am getting the following error after I detach any aspx file from the master. On preview
    "ContentPlaceHolder can only be used in .master files."  (correlation Id search with logs does not shed much light)
    This is happening with any simple page detachment using SPD. even on pages created with standard master pages.
    Either the SPD functionality does not work or I am missing something basic. Help is appreciated
    Thanks
    Madhu

    Hi,
    According to your description, I have done a test, and met the same issue with you.
    Because ContentPlaceHolder defines a region in a Master Page and the Content control is used on the page to display text/markup in the place of the ContentPlaceHolder.
    See this link for an example:
     http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.content.aspx
    The "Detach master page" seems a bug, my suggestion is: you can create a blank ASPX page in SharePoint Designer, then start customizing on this new page.

  • Ssis - move files from one directory to another and rename destination file if present

    Hello,
    How is it possible to move files from one directory to another directory and if the file already exists in destination directory then rename it?
    Thanks

    1. Use a foreach loop with file enumerator pointing to first directory.
    Inside loop have a ssis variable of type string to get filename (@[User::FileName])
    Choose option as Fully Qualified in loop
    2. Add another variable called @[User::DestFileName], set EvaluateAsExpression true for it and set expression like this
    REPLACE(@[User::FileName],<source directory path>,<destination directory path>)
    put actual paths in above expression in your case
    and another variable called @[User::RenameFileName], set EvaluateAsExpression true for it and set expression like this
    REPLACE(@[User::FileName],".","_old.")
    3. Create a boolean variable say @[User::FileEXists]
    4. Add a Script Task inside the loop and pass @DestFileName variable in ReadOnly mode and FileExists in ReadWrite mode
    Inside Script Task write code as per below
    http://blog.dbandbi.com/2013/11/13/check-file-exists-ssis/
    5. Add File System Task choose operation as Rename File, Select IsSourcePathVariable as true and select @[user::DestFileName] variable and IsDestinationPath variable as true and select @[user::RenameFileName] variable
    6. Choose ExpressionAndConstraint option for precedeence constraint from ScriptTask to above File System Task and choose constraint as OnSuccess and expression as
    @FileExists == True
    7. Add another File System task with operation as Move File Select IsSourcePathVariable as true and select @[user::FileName] variable and IsDestinationPath variable as true and select @[user::DestFileName] variable. Join Script Task as well as
    File System Task above to this task and choose constraint as OnSuccess and Multiple Constraint option as Or (dotted line)
    Then once executed it will work as per your requirement
    Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs

  • Moving apps, their data from one ipad to another AND changing/deleting at the same time!

    Hi,
    I would like to get ready for my new iPad. Over time I have accumalated a LOT of Apps which I don't use or  would like to organize differently.
    Others (games or internal documents/settings) I would like to leave intact. Is there a way to choose what to import and maybe already pre-sort?
    I know of the restore feature from a specific backup (used that in the past) that DOES keep the data intact but does not allow for my organizing/spring cleaning scenario...
    I was thinking directly of the new Apple configurator tool. I could import my iPad profile, and based on that choose apps to keep (and their data) or delete in a first step. Even better would be if I could then group them in folders or screens BEFORE I sync this new profile to my new iPad.
    This would also be ideal to manage backups and different setups for family members when we do the family shuffle.. I upgrade, hand my old device to my better half, she hands her to X family member etc., etc.
    My issue is that the help menu of the configurator toll indicates it works only for volume bought applications. Is this right? Why the restriction?
    Main concern of course is not installing the application on a specific device BUT to copy the app (AND internal data) exactly to another one!
    I'm surprised that Apple hasn't adressed these issues better but maybe they did with this new tool (or another way) and I just don't see/understand it.
    Thanks for any and all input,
    Philly

    Thanks Rudegar
    My problem is a little different. I would like to selectively sync apps and maybe change/add/delete folders and app screens.
    I know how to "clone/restore" the iPad. I was hoping that I could maybe use the Apple confugurator for this purpose and customize my apps based on an import from the old iPad. As such weeding out old apps and not having to use the cumbersome iTunes method but at the same time protecting my backed up data.
    It could also simplify data transfer if I could create multiple profiles/people from which I can choose who to sync/transfer to a specific iDevice.
    But thanks for taking your time and providing a solution to transfer all files from one device to another.
    Philly
