Importing old project to new project

Hi All-
My client wants a different backgorund/template on the
project that exists now. I decided the easiest way to make this
change might be to open a new project, design the new background
(actually I imported a new background into the new project form
PowerPoint) and then import objects only slide for slide into the
new project. But, the audio doesn't come along. Any suggestions or
do I have tomanually import all the audio again? Or is there a
better way overall to do this? I haven't spent very much time
yet!

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, I am having Kernel error problems with my G5 so I am moving files from my external drive to the new iMac rather than trying to fire up my old G5.
I opened the FCE project on my backup drive and saved it to the desktop of my new computer. Obviously, the new computer is trying to find the video files on my new computer and they are not there.
Unfortunately, I have made several long/large movies on my G5 but I have never really understood the exact path of where the video files are stored (documents, data, etc.) and how they are accessed by FCE.
So... can you please explain where I can find the associated media files (from my project on my old G5) and where exactly I should copy them on the new iMac. And can I just "copy" and "paste" from my external drive into the iMac?
Thanks in advance!

  • How to import the old project to new project in P6

    Hi new guy here.Sorry if this thing have been posted before.I am kinda new here.
    I just wonder if can I import an old project to new project in P6?
    I have already finished with the project,but then as something happened I need to make it as a new project.So how can I used all the information I have on the old project to be transfer to the new one?
    If can how?I need to change certain things like date,resource,etc.
    Thanks

    hello.
    there are other more elaborate (and depending on size and scope of modifications, possibly useful) options including Methodology Management, but to keep it simple, try the following:
    if you have an initial baseline of the existing project, restore it and go from there. let me know if you need help on that.
    if not, copy-paste the existing project and manually adjust the newly created one. you can use "global changes" and/or "fill down" (see help and/or available related posts for this) to clear progress data such as actual resource/ expense units and costs, then activity start dates (in this order).
    make sure you baseline your projects before you start imputting actual data.
    good luck.

  • Convert Project vs New Project / Import

    Hi,
    I currently have both PP CC 7.2.2 and 2014 8.0.0 installed on my Win 7 Pro machine, both of which have been running smooth and I personally haven't experienced and issues with 2014 8.0.0 - yet.
    Over the last several versions of PP since about CS5 or so I think, I keep occasionally seeing messages where a user might have opened an existing project file that PP has "converted" to a new project file and might have performance issues. I often see responses where someone will say "Make a new project and import the old one"...or something to that effect.
    Over the last few days I have let 2014 8.0.0 convert some of my existing 7.2.2 projects files. I would then do various test exports, work in the project, etc.
    I then created some new 2014 8.0.0 projects and imported the 7.2.2 projects, and again, did the same test exports, etc.
    I can't really find a difference or see a varying performance difference in either of the project files.
    So my question is this....What is going on "under the hood" so to speak when the new(er) version of PP converts an existing project file (no matter the version number) to the newer version of PP versus creating a new project file (in the new version) and importing the old version?
    I have hundreds of project files and I always like to convert them to the current version of the software so after several versions pass I don't get the "project is too old to convert" (which has happened to me in AE before).
    So I am debating should I just let PP convert them or is there a benefit / performance difference to creating new project files and importing the old ones?

    An event contains your media, your clips, video, audio, graphics. A project is your edited program. You can edit media from any event into any project.

  • Final Cut Pro X won't import media or create new projects?

    I have tried restarting my computer, updating softwares, and deleting layouts etc. I was using FCPX today, but after I deleted all my projects and files from the program (like I do when I want to clean it up), it showed "create a new project" and "Import Media" or something along those lines. When I click on them (or try from other routes) they either do nothing or work a little and then do nothing, but never actually compeletly work. Please help!

    Have you tried trashing the preferences with
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
    1. Ensure that  FCP X  is selected.
    2. Click Trash
    The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X.

  • Move WBS from Project to new Project

    Hi all
    Currently we have a high numer of deep structured Projects within SAP PS.
    The hierarchy looks like:
    Project Def
    - 1st level WBS
    -- 2nd level WBS
    -- 2nd level WBS
    --- 3rd level WBS
    ---- Activity
    ---- Activity
    --- 3rd level WBS
    ---- Activity
    -- 2nd level WBS
    --- Activity
    --- 3rd level WBS
    ---- Activity
    -- 2nd level WBS
    We now need to move all the 2nd level WBS elements to distinct projects, preferably without data loss and including all WBS-sub elements from 3rd level. The description of the WBS elements should be copied to the new projects description.
    Can someone describe the best-practice, manual way to achieve that?
    Is there an automated way to do that, maybe a Transaction code I currently miss?
    Is there a possibility to achieve it programmatically?
    BR

    Hi Michael,
    You cannot literally move these WBSe's to new projects. Instead you can create new projects with exactly the same structure and maintain the same descriptions. As far as data is concerned, you need to check the postings that have already happened in the old projects. There are different ways by which this data can be transferred to the new Project. You can either settle the costs from the old WBS to the new ones or simply post a journal entry against the new WBSe's. I would prefer the former one. This however depends on how far the project has progressed i.e. costs incurred, postings done etc. There are a lot of things to consider before doing what you intend to do.
    It would be good if you can involve your FICO guys in this exercise. It will be of help.
    Regards,
    Gokul

  • How do I import old photos into new iPhoto library?

    I have a new macbook pro running iphoto 11.  I am trying to import my photos onto the new computer from my old computer, running iphoto 8.  I mounted the old computer as a hard disk, but when I go to import the photos into new iphoto library on the new computer, the old iphoto library is "grayed" out under the users/pictures/iphoto location.
    How do I transfer the photos?

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

  • How to clean old & start a new project?

    What do I do if I don't want to archive anything but ONLY to clean the old finished project completely... (my very first BTW) and to start a next one?
    What do I delete from my Mac's drive and my external Scratch disc? And how do I start the second project?

    You would trash the FILES in your Final Cut Express Documents folder and the FILES in the child folders under it, in particular the files in the Capture Scratch folder, Autosave Folder and Render Files folder.
    (You could delete the entire Final Cut Express Documents folder if you want to, FCE will just rebuild empty folders next time you run it, bit I think it's worth the extra caution of selecting & deleting just the files.)
    Assuming you set your FCE capture scratch drive preference to your external HD before you started your project, then that's the only place you need to look for a Final Cut Express Documents folder. There's nothing you need to delete from your system HD unless you specifically saved something there that you don't want to keep.
    You should also look for the Quicktime movies you exported from FCE as well as any iDVD projects you created with them, wherever you saved them on your HD. And any other source material that you want to delete, like audio files or photos, wherever they are on your HD.

  • Importing old library to new Macbook

    I recently purchased a new Macbook (Black) and I'm trying to import the music library to my new iTunes. The problem I'm having is that I my old iBook had such a small hard drive that I backed up my library by copying the music files (iTunes Library) to an external hard drive then deleted the files off of my existing hard drive. I just want to be able to import the info of my iPod and then be able upload more on my new computer. Am I screwed and need to upload all of my music again? Please tell me somebody has ran into this problem. Thank you.

  • Can't import old folders into new iTunes on new computer

    Morning, all -
    I got a new computer and restored all my old folders on it, music included.
    When I downloaded iTunes again, I was surprised to find that a) it didn't just import my old music files, and b) I'm unable to do so even manually.
    I've tried dragging and dropping the music folders - individually and as a group - into the new iTunes folder (iTunes Media now instead of iTunes Music), dragging folders directly into the iTunes window, and importing folders through the menu bar. None of the options work. I don't get an error message, it just sits there and doesn't do anything (which is even worse than getting an error message, which I could at least then track down to resolve).
    It's getting frustrating - it's proving to be a lot less user-friendly than it should be, and for what I would think is a relatively common situation.
    Any insight on getting this thing going would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks, Chris -
    The problem here was that while I'd thought my entire music collection was stored by an online backup service prior to wiping my harddrvie, it turns out that such ISN'T the case. Hence, all the music's gone. So when I did the restore of all the data from the service, then fired up iTunes, while all the music SHOULD'VE been put back in its original filing system (and so, migrated to the new iTunes folders cleanly), that didn't happen. Took me a couple of days of frustration before realizing that while the folder/file structure of all the music was retained, the music itself wasn't. Hence the lack of initial migration, and the reluctance to import any folders manually; the cupboard was bare.
    All of this, however, has led to yet another problem. It's related, but a different topic, so I'll start a new thread on it...
    Thanks again.

  • Import old mac to new mac

    I bought a new macbock pro and want to import files and archieves from my old macbock

    If it's just files & folders (not applications) then you could:
    1) boot the old Mac into Target Disk Mode, connect it to your new Mac with a FW cable and then use the Finder in your new Mac to copy the files from your old Mac
    2) connect both Macs to your network (assuming you have a network), turn on file sharing on your old Mac, then from your new Mac log into your old Mac and use the Finder to copy the files
    3) copy the files from your old Mac to an external hard drive; then disconnect the drive from your old Mac; then connect the drive to your new Mac; then use the Finder to copy the files from the external hard drive

  • How can I import old library to new iPhoto on new Mac

    I bought a new macbook pro and need to move my library over but already have some pics in the new library.  What is the best way to add the old 20GB library to my new iPhoto?

    To migrate a Library:
    Link the two Macs together even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    However you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    The only way to merge the two libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager
    If you've not done much with the photos already on the new machine then simply export them from that iPhoto, copy the main library over and then import them to that library

  • Unreadable photos when trying to import old photos to new updated iPhoto??

    After updating to Yosemite and updating iPhoto to 9.6, when trying to import all my old photos, it says they are all unreadable.  How do I update the file format of the photos to import them?

    You found the right way to do it.  Never import an iPhoto Library into iPhoto. Just open the iPhoto Library by double-clicking it. You are lucky, that iPhoto prevented you from importing the iPhoto Library. It would have created a terrible mess of duplicate photos in all sizes.

  • Crash - close project, open new project

    Logic 9.01 on Nehalem dual quad core w 16G ram (not that either of those help as of yet). When I am working on a project thats pretty RAM intensive - right on the 4G mark - and then close it, and open another - Logic crashes.
    Anyone else seeing this?

    I'm on a slightly older 8-core Mac Pro running 10.6.2 and Logic 9.0.2 and I have the exact same problem. I mostly notice it when I use the EWQLSO PLAY engine. The RAM is definitely not clearing out when a project is closed.
    I'll keep trolling the forums, but hope someone posts a suggestions/solutions.
