Importing fcpx project back into fcpx and having trouble

Please Help Me.
So I shared a project from Final Cut Pro X to my desktop so that it was the "Title" - Mac and PC.mp4 file. Then I put the project and all the event files onto an external hard drive and deleted the project and the event files from my computer. Since I did that, the mp4 files disappeared, and now I'm trying to retrieve it, so I plugged in my external hard drive to my computer, and tried to get the project back into Final Cut so I could export it properly this time. But although the project imports back into FCPX, it says all the files are missing. I'm trying to put the event files back into FCPX as well, but it doesn't seem to be synching with the project and now I'm scared that I'll either never be able to have this video again or I'll have to do a serious amount of manual re-editing to retrieve it. It seems that if I have the project file and all the original video files from each event, why would it not be able to be retrieved? Is there something I'm doing wrong or some other way I can retrieve this project and/or get my mp4 file back? Should I be putting the event files in a specific place? Please someone, anyone, help me and let me know if you have any useful advice asap.
Thank you.

  • Advice about most lossless way to import Mocha Project back into AE CS6

    Hi,
    Programs using:
    Adobe Premiere CS6
    Adobe After Effects CS6
    Mocha Pro 3.0
    Adobe Photoshop
    I removed a microphone from my shot using the remove function on Mocha Pro 3.0.  That is, I tracked the mic, created a cleanplate, edited the cleanplate on Adobe Photoshop, imported the cleanplate without the microphone back into Mocha, and I rendered the new cleanplate into the shot.  Now, I'm stuck about how to get this information back into AE.  I would like to add some more special effects to this clip as well as others in the same sequnce.
    How should I go about getting my Mocha project or mocha data back into AE?
    thank you,
    Robert

    When I do this using just Mocha for AE, I track the mike then create a matte that links to the track. Then I export the matte to AE,
    I then create the clean plate.
    Thie difference in work flow is I then do all my compositing in AE and export in the manner appropriate for the PP project I am cutting.
    Sorry this doesnt directly address your question. Its just another option for your to consider.

  • Exporting then importing projects back into imovie so I can re-edit

    If I have almost completed a project but want it off my hard drive for awhile, is there a way to save that project on a portable drive, then latter, if I need to make changes, import that project back into imovie so I can add video or change the transitions, etc. I find after exporting a project if I import it back, it cannot be re-edited without starting all over. In other words I want to save and store a project with all the editing instructions and then be able to import it back for changes. Thanks for any help on this...

    If I have almost completed a project but want it off my hard drive for awhile, is there a way to save that project on a portable drive, then latter, if I need to make changes, import that project back into imovie so I can add video or change the transitions, etc.
    Project files (which are merely a set of instructions describing how a file will be made when it is to be exported/shared) are relatively small compared to Event (i.e., source) files and you would normally reap greater benefits by moving/keeping them on an external drive. If Events are moved from within iMovie '08, their paths will remain unbroken. If, however, you remove the the project files and anything happens to change either the Project or Event paths, you could be in a lot of trouble trying to get/fit everything back to its proper location with path references in tact at a later time.

    I have iMovie 8.0.6 and an iPhone 4S.  I took hours of videos on vacation (Australia and New Zealand) and want to make a movie.  I've imported the first batch into iMovie and started the project.  I just realized that I shot both horizontally and vertically and when I preview (on full-screen) what I've combined, first it's wide-screen, then it's tall, narrow with wide black sides. 
    The film looks choppy, no flow, since it alternates horizontally and vertically.
    I can import the vertical clips two ways:  "Full-Original Size", or "Large 960x540."  But the vertical clips have very short, fat people.
    This didn't happen with my Flip HD; the movies are smooth and terrific.  My heart is breaking.....please, how can I make the videos match?

    Yes, I'd like to use all the video I shot, put it together with music, titles, etc. and make it consistant.  when it goes from full screen to this vertical, narrow clip, it's very awkward.....and it's so narrow, it's hard to see what I'm looking at; my eyes don't make the adjustment quickly.

  • How can I import iphoto projects (books) into Iphoto?

    My un-backupped Mac crashed, and I had the files recreated professionally. Now I want to import my books back into iPhoto, but either I am trying with the wrong files, or I am doing it wrong. Anyway I cannot import the "project.db" files, which the Mac tries to open i Word by default!
    Any ideas how to do it?

    Simply putting files in to specific places is enough to recreate the Library. An iPhoto Library is not just a gathering of files but a complex ecosystem of interlinked files, caches and database files. It's more than the sum of its parts, and those parts are not always what you think. For instance, those project.db files have nothing to do with books

  • Help - Can I Convert/import a PDF back into an InDesign doc?

    Long story short: This is a document I originally created and the original was lost. The client now wants to make changes and re print. I would like avoid having to build the entire doc from scratch. I have the original Hi-res PDF that I retrieved from the printer.
    Question:
    1) Is there any way to convert/import this doc back into an editable Indesign Document?

    Sorry Kids- was just having a bad day! To Kath: you are absolutely right -didn't even think about it, & checked it in MS Word with that word in wrong usage, just flew through! To Jongware: Sorry Bud, but plenty of help out there to solve that issue! To Scott: great link, had fun reading that one! Just got my second & third AAS degrees from local community college (Print & Graphic Design(updated to digital) at 53. And I was appalled at how many of our HS grads are not only receiving their diplomas but getting into college and cannot read at all! So I guess there will be much need for good proofreaders for the immediate future at least, Damn, must still be having that Bad Day relapse!! Have a great day all & sorry again for anyone I might have insulted, not my intention, if I were perfect, I wouldn't need to be here now would I? Les G

  • We are trying to close caption our telecasts. We get the captioning files done out of house, pull them back into Premiere, and then embed them. The TV station requires .mxf files with the file embedded as a 708 stream, to play on their Grass Valley K2 vid

    We are trying to close caption our telecasts. We get the captioning files done out of house, pull them back into Premiere, and then embed them. The TV station requires .mxf files with the file embedded as a 708 stream, to play on their Grass Valley K2 video servers. We have tried multiple scenarios and cannot get the captions to display.
    Whenever I export, it becomes a 608 stream, and will not play on their servers.

    Hello there,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having a problem. Thank you for taking the time to post here.
    Here are some questions:
    1. What version of PPRO are you using? MAC or WIN?
    2. Is the caption data you are embedding a 708 caption stream?
    3. When you re-import the MXF with captioning embedded back into PPRO, does it show 708 closed captions in PPRO?
    PPRO will embed 708 caption streams to MXF -- I just did this, re-imported the embedded MXF to PPRO, and I see the captions in the MXF.
    If you could share one of your files with me, I could take a look.
    Take care and thanks again,
    CM

  • I just downloaded more then 2000 photo's from my camera into iPhoto. Shortly after that my battery life was depleted and so I plugged the computer back into power and after I opened iPhoto later, I could not find those photos anymore

    I just downloaded more then 2000 photo's from my NIKON camera into iPhoto. Shortly after that my battery life was depleted and so I plugged the computer back into power and after I opened iPhoto later, I could not find those photos anymore!! Help where are they? How can I retrieve them or are they lost???
    Please help me!!!

    Do you see more photos, when you enable "Hidden Photos" in the "View" menu?
    And that was afetr I took the connection with the NIKON out of my laptop.
    Check, if you really imported into your iPhoto library - is the preference setting "Advanced > Importing: Copy items to the iPhoto Library" active?  If not, connect your Nikon again - do you now see more photos?
    If you imported into the iPhoto Library, check inside the package:
    Select your iPhoto library in the Finder, ctrl-click it, use the command "Show Package Contents".
    There will be a folder named "Masters" inside, with subfolders named by year - month - day. Look for the date you did the import and check, if the photos are inside.
    If yes, copy this folder to a folder on your desktop to save the photos.
    If not, search for a folder "Importing" inside the library. Is it there? Then copy these photos to a folder on the Desktop.
    If you found your photos, backup and rebuild your library.

  • Importing completed iMovie back into iMovie for additional editing

    My daughter recently completed a mini movie, courtesy of an Apple Film camp...lots of fun.
    Her completed movie, made at the Apple Store using iMovie, was placed on a DVD. The DVD plays the movie, which is great, but i am not able to import the movie back into iMovie, so that I can edit it, or rather, shrink the size, for my daughter for use in other platforms.
    Everytime I try to open the DVD, I have files for audio and files for video, which can't be imported in, and no complete iMovie file.
    I'm probably doing something very stupid, and if somebody could help, that would be great.
    Thanks!

    Once you encode your movie for DVD, it changes the format/codec to MPEG2 which is no longer readable by iMovie.
    I suggest you read the Recent User Contributed Tips at the top of this forum - the one by AppleMan 1958 - How to import a home movie on DVD into iMovie for editing:

  • Importing data file back into blank PDF - some data fields don't populate

    I have created a writable PDF in Adobe LiveCycle 8. Once the form is completed the person filling out the form submits by email. The email is successfully received and the data file is complete (opening it in a browser verifies this). However, when I use try to import the data back into the PDF file (by opening Adobe Pro | blank form | managage form data | import data - only some of the fields are populated. I need this data to repopulate the form so I can print it and I also need to export it to Excel for other purposes. What am I doing wrong?

    Check the binding on the fields that don't populate and see that it is set to something other than None.

    You should be able to copy the apps (and any other iTunes purchases) over to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. And as long as apps remain available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to purchase them, you should be able to re-download them in the future : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    If you are already on iOS 5+ on your iPad then you should be able to update the iPad directly on the iPad via Settings > General > Software Update .

  • I removed my battery in an attempt to insert a SIM card, obviously without knowing how to insert the SIM card. I put the battery back into place and it was already charged 100%, but it's stuck in recovery mode. I've already restored it, but it won't boot.

    I was trying to insert a SIM card into my iPhone 4 without actually knowing how to do so. I assumed that I was to remove the back of the phone and find a slot for it near the battery. I removed the battery in an attempt to find a SIM slot, and was obviously unsuccessful. I put the battery back into place and screwed the phone back plate back on. Note: the battery was fully charged and the iPhone was working perfectly fine before. After screwing the iPhone back into place properly, I thought, I attempted to cut the phone on and it would not do so. I put it back on the charger, and the screen came up that says "Connect to iTunes". I obviously couldn't do so if its plugged into the wall. I plugged into the computer, connected it to iTunes, went through the Recovery mode process, and it still won't turn on. The computer says that the iPhone is in Recovery mode, but iTunes can't do anything because it has already been restored. When I disconnect it from the computer, I hold all buttons in all possible combinations, but it won't turn on at all. When I plug it into the wall, it again says to connect to iTunes. I don't know if I damaged the battery or any part within the iPhone, but I was sensitive in my approach to removing the battery and putting it back in, and there is no visible damage whatsoever. I am extremely frustrated and in desperate need of Apple-Pro help.

    do you have a cdma iphone 4? becauase cdma iphones dont have a sim card slot... the providers that use cdma technology here in the us would be verizion, sprint, criket, ect... if you want to use your iphone 4 on att or tmobile (gsm carriers). then you would need a gsm iphone 4 (has sim card slot). a gsm iphone 4 is different than a cdma iphone 4 (they have different radio chips). maby you missed the sim card slot? sim card slot would be on the side of the phone.. never inside (unless it has a removable back cover like the galaxy s3 or s4), if you dont see a sim card slot on the side of the phone than you have a cmda iphone 4. can you tell me what carrier you are trying to use?
