Intel Macs & G5s: Problems when moving projects between them

An earlier post* suggesting complete compatibility between the latest FCP in a G5 and in an Intel Mac may be in error.
We are experiencing continuing crashes using our Intel Mac when we work on projects that were originally either imported or partially rendered in the G5.
It has gotten to the point where we feel we must keep projects completely isolated from each other: Either it is a "G5 project" or it is an "Intel Mac" project. Moving projects back and forth between the two leads to problems such as:
The Intel Mac does not recognize any renders done in the G5...
The Intel Mac crashes when rendering 'G5' projects...
The Intel mac crashes when compressor goes to work to export sequences to mpeg...
The G5 works fine with Intel Mac-originated material: It is only in the Intel Mac where we have these problems.
Both systems are up-to-the minute on their OS, security updates, and FCP versions. We are using variously 720p/30 from the JVC GY-100UA and 1080i/30 from the Sony Z1U.
Our questions are:
Is anyone else experiencing similar problems moving projects between a G5 and an Intel Mac?
Is anyone moving projects between the two platforms and experiencing NO problems at all? That information would be just as valuable, and very welcome.
Apple FCP development team: Is our experience unique or have you had other reports like this? Any idea what could be causing our problems -- and what we can do to fix them?

Scott,
Welcome to the discussions!
I have had no problems moving my G5 projects over to my MP.
You can not move render files between machines.
When you changed systems, did you use Migration Assistant to transfer your files over to your new Mac Pro? You might need to install from the disks in order to achieve native Intel performance. See if you installed Final Cut 5.1 on your G5 then it installed the PPC code... if you put that drive into your Mac Pro or used Migration Assistant to move the app over it is still the PPC code... When you install from the installation disk, Installer determines what system you are installing on (PPC or Intel) and that's what it installs. This goes for all of your "Universal Binary" apps...
In the System Profiler app. under Software/Applications
Final Cut Pro "kind" should be Universal on your MP.
The FCP development team do not read these posts, only users do.

  • Combining libraries or moving projects between them...

    Until the new Aperture, it was just easier to have different libraries, but I think some of those little ones can and should be combined into a 'new' Aperture Library that I can work with easily. For instance, one of my libraries is only 700mb . . what's the best way or safest way to move that library's contents [it's only one project] from Library A to a different library, and combine the two libraries in effect.
    Should I just open Library A, select a project and export the project? I assume I'd want to export 100%, masters, versions and metadata or woudl that do it automatically? Thanks.

    Projects are completely self contained.
    So just open the library you're migrating from, select the project, and then from the file menu, select "export project". Then change libraries (you'll have to stop/restart Aperture), and select "import project", select it, and you're done. It's quite easy.
    I do this all the time... I have separate Aperture libraries on my MacBook and my G5 Quad. I travel with the MacBook, and can do edits in the field. When I get back to the office, I just export the project from the MacBook, and import the exported project to my G5 over AFP. Works like a peach... all edits/changes/... are intact. And that includes the previews that I generated on the MacBook for a slide show that exhibited a bug related to previews

  • Problem when Creating Project (Composite Application Services) in NWDS

    I've seen a few posts regarding this but I don't feel as if any real solution was given.
    I just installed Netweaver Developer Studio (7.0.15) with the current JDK/JRE (1.6.0_07).  When trying to create a new Composite Application Services project within the Studio, using the new project wizard, I get an error: Problem when Creating Project.
    I get the EJB Module and Dictionary to create within my navigator with no problems, however, during the creation of the metadata, the error occurs.  I do have the metadata folder appear within the navigator, but nothing in it.  None of the other three items are created.
    I have tried the attempt at deleting the metadata folder within my workspace directory and trying again but the same exact result occurs.
    Is there any other solution out there for this problem besides attempting to find older versions of NWDS, etc. that are more "stable"?
    Thank you!

    Durga,
    Very simple but effective solution.
    I had tried uninstalling / re-installing NWDS with no effect but uninstalling / re-installing NWDS AND all java related products on my machine did work.
    Note: For anyone else with this issue in the future.  I installed the Java SDK / JRE 1.4.2_18 with NWDS 7.0.15 in case this is also a possible issue with versions.
    Thanks, Durga!

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a new Composite Application Services project using Netweaver studio 7.011. When it came to the final step of the Project creation wizard, an error message pop-up saying "Problem when creating project".
    I have tried the methods posted in the forums, but its doesn't work for me.

    Hi Chandan,
    I still encounter the error message and this time, it only create the ejbmodule folder. In mine previous creation, I have dictionary, ejbmodule, metadata and webdynpro.
    I realised that there is some different in the .plugin folder and the previous .plugin folder of the .metadata.
    Not sure whether is it affected by the .plugin folder. Is there a list of .plugin required?
    can advise?
    Thanks again.

  • Audio problems when moving between chapters

    My movie consists of imported video from my camera. I have a two songs playing over the video - one at the beginning of the first chapter and one at the beginning of the last chapter. When I play the movie straight through, the audio works perfectly fine. When I skip between chapters the two with songs play correctly. However the chapters that have the original audio are distorted - the video seems to pause or stall out and the audio doesn't play for several seconds. Does anyone know what my problem might be and how to fix it?

    SteveG, I don't believe it is an 1820m issue at all. Do you have a single or multi-core processor? This behavior did not occur on my old P4 3GHz system. I only started observing it when I built this quad core system about a month ago.
    By the way, today I replaced my mobo with one of the same brand and model and the behavior still exists (to rule out a defective mobo.) I've also tried 3 different video cards (although they were all NVIDIA) and the problem remains no matter which card I use.
    Durin,
    As I was typing the first post, I verified that I was using the Emu 1820m ASIO driver in both Edit and Multitrack views. (As I was writing it, it crossed my mind that I might have it set to something else in one mode.) However, it is the same in both.
    One thing I forgot to mention is that there is one more app that behaves similarly (Reaper). All other apps (Sonar, FL Studio, eXT, Ableton Live, Sound Forge, Wavosaur) do not show this behavior and are rock solid.
    If you'd like to see my thread about this behavior in Reaper (and others who can reproduce it) see here: http://www.cockos.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19036
    I believe Sonar, FL Studio, eXT, Ableton Live, Sound Forge, Wavosaur, etc.. are doing something properly when playing back audio and/or initializing plugins that Adobe Audition and Reaper are failing to do properly with certain hardware configurations.

  • Moving projects between external hard drives lose clips

    Sorry for the unclear subject line, but I really can't think of a quippy way to say what the problem is.
    Short version--I moved project from external hard drive A to external hard drive B. Worked on A. Worked on B. Moved it back to A (still have copy on B). No longer works on A. Clips show up in the timeline, but on screen is white. Transitions, titles, audio don't work. Still works on B.
    Ideas?
    Long version--I'm using 10.3.9 on my old Powerbook. iMovie 6.0.3. I am using Lacie Porsche 250GB external and a Mercury Elite Pro 500 GB hard drives. When I started, the Lacie, which I was using for my speaking career videos, was NOT formatted for Mac OS Extended (Journaled). So, while working on another project, I had issues with the infamous Ken Burns bug with pictures.
    After consulting with the experts here (thanks Karl), I determined that I must reformat. So, pain and anguish, I moved the various movies off of the Lacie (Drive A) to the Mercury (Drive B). On both, the movies worked fine--all transitions, everything. The Mercury was and is Mac OS Extended (but NOT Journaled).
    So, I wipe the Lacie with Disk Utility so it is Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Once finished, I begin the process of moving projects (3 in total) back to the Lacie. Two of the projects are completed works with transitions, audio file, titles and the like. One is just clips in the clip pane, none in the timeline. I moved them all at once.
    When I did, I checked them before I would delete them off the Mercury. When I did, both of the completed projects loaded properly--the clips do show in the timeline. But, in the preview window, all I have is a blank white screen. When I play, nothing happens.
    I have not erased anything, changed anything, thrown anything away--nothing. And, they still work perfectly on the Mercury (same computer, obviously).
    This one really has me stumped. I am really irked that iMovie has apparently become such a messed up program. Worse, this has been out for some time now (I had not used it yet, but I got iLife last year some time). I can't believe there are all these issues all this time later and obviously Apple has done nothing or little to correct these problems. I consider iMovie a real flagship program to model the ease of use and blah blah blah that we all know concerning Apple.
    OK, sorry for venting---anyone with any ideas? Did I mess up the drive when I wiped it? Is this merely the program? Something between the fact that the Mercury is NOT Journalled? Any help will, as always, be appreciated.

    Thanks David---
    The Permissions are the same for both, on both hard drives.
    I have not repaired permissions on either.
    I did shut down the computer last night and this AM, upon starting again, had the same problem.
    I did attempt a few fixes--I moved the clips from the timeline back to the preview pane. I had one clip already there and it would play perfectly. When I did that, with a clip from the timeline and then moved it back, it would show up and play. But, upon hitting the next clip, it would stop playing at the first transition.
    Some of the transitions are from a Third Party (Gee). Remember, though, they played perfectly fine from Drive B. I have not attempted, however, to put the Gee effects into iMovie 6. As I said earlier, I haven't used the program on my computer since the Fall. Now, using 6.0.3, I don't see my GeeThree effects anywhere, nor have I tried to put them in. But, from the Drive B (and originally in the drive A), the movie plays fine even though the added clips are not present for me to use in any new project.

  • Codec missing and moving projects between different computers

    Hi,
    Im a real rookie when it comes to premiere... and i have 2 problems.
    First off i just want to know the best way to move a project between two computers... Usually when i move the folder and try open it all the links to the different movie files dont work, so i have to go through and select each one manually. There must be a way to get around this...
    Second off i have a problem with importing my mac mov (i used iMovie to move the files from the video camera, which is a Sony HDR-HC3) files into premiere on the pc, it claims the codecs are missing. I have installed quicktime on the pc and i can play the movies fine, but they wont import into premiere because of the missing codec. Why?

    FAQ:How do I transfer a project from one computer to another?

  • Intel Mac Install Problems

    Is anyone else out there running a new Intel Mac with 10.4.8?
    The problem comes when I go to install CF MX 7.2. I tried all the
    configurations possible for developer (stand alone, with JRun, on
    top of J2EE) and it just won't install right. It gets to the part
    where it says 'it installed okay first part, but to finish the
    install check firewall ports, etc. and make sure CF is running.'
    Anyway, I can never get CF to run. It tries to, and can't. The
    annoying part is I have to manually uninstall the crap too each
    time, as the 'uninstaller' gets so far and asks me for my admin
    password (not the CF admin password, RDS password, but the actual
    admin pass for my account). I enter it and it keeps telling me it
    is wrong. So you can't unistall with the unistaller. Funny thing
    though is when I go to just trash the whole app manually the system
    asks for my admin pass and it takes it just fine.
    So, my main question is: Has anyone gotten CF MX 7.2 to
    successfully install and run on an Intel Mac? Or will it only work
    on an older PowerPC? (All my other Macromedia/Adobe stuff is
    running just fine since I upgraded from the PowerPC. It was a
    little slow at first, but I threw a bunch of ram at it. I cannot
    get CF to install at all though...)
    Anyone with advice or insight please respond...
    Thanks.

  • Modification dates change when moving/copying between hard-drive and flash

    I use a flash drive to store most of my work-related documents on. That way, I have them when I'm at school (on a Windows XP computer) and at home on my Mac OS 10.3.9. I
    try to occasionally back-up my flash drive by dragging it's contents to my Mac. Copying in this direction USUALLY retains the appropriate modification date.
    However, if I move things from the Mac to the USB drive (I occasionally make changes to a file on the Mac when my flashdrive isn't handy), the modification date changes to the copy/move date. Is there a way around this? It alters the information about the file and sometimes makes a version look newer than another version of a document. When in reality, it’s older--it’s just been moved/copied and the date changed.
    I often move things back and forth for backup purposes, but if it keeps changing the dates on it’s own, it’s impossible to tell which is REALLY the
    most current copy/version.
    Is there a fix so that copying and moving files between volumes does NOT change the modification date of the file?
    Powerbook G4--12 in.--1.33 GHz   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Hi, teacher. When my Lexar JumpDrive Secure is formatted as a MS-DOS volume so a PC can read it, the last-mod dates of files that I copy to it are changed to the date and time of copying. When it's formatted as a Mac OS Extended volume, the original last-mod dates are copied to it unchanged. Looks like you can thank Bill Gates for the inconvenience: apparently it's a DOS file system "feature". Don't you wish you could use Windoze all the time?
    On second thought, the files really are changed when you write them to a DOS volume, because the DOS file system has no place to store the metadata about your files that a Mac pays attention to and a Windoze box doesn't. So when you write Mac files to a DOS volume, that metadata — which is part of each Mac file — is simply discarded, causing the last-mod date to change.

  • Older intel mac display problems (x1600)

    My mom has an intel imac (the version before the black/aluminum kind) and it had very minor display issues with Tiger (very infrequent horizontal lines). They were all resolved with further point releases of Tiger.
    After upgrading to Leopard she has had numerous problems, all revolving around frequent and numerous horizontal lines. They sometimes get so bad that the current window is almost completely obscured.
    Here is a flickr set of images that show the problem and the display specs. I know that was happening to users with newer imacs and x1900s, is this happening to other x1600 users?
    Any ideas on what is going on? I told her to call apple, but her warranty has run out and she feels uncomfortable calling because she is not a technical person (exactly why I told her to get a mac—I have egg on my face now). Should she downgrade? Can this be a hardware problem?

    Hi everyone, i have bought an iMac 20 with a core 2 duo 1 GB ram and an ATI x1600 (a white one, because the screen quality is better than the new iMac 20 alu)
    and i've some display problems. First i was on Tiger and i didn't noticed any problems but as leopard came out i rapidly upgraded to it and then came problems with the display.
    To make short, the lower part of my screen is lagging anormaly. When i drag a window or even the dock's animations are slower. And it doesn't occur on the upper part of my screen, windows can be dragged smoothly, there is no lag even if the CPU is working at 100% (like on every normal mac...).
    I've noticed there is a little bump when i'm dragging a windows from the top to the bottom of the screen, it's like the window enter another area.
    I've of course checked a lot of boards on the www, so i've tried a lot of things, my card ATI X1600 128mo PCIe is fully working with core image and quartz extreme.
    Some people said to wait that spotlight finished to index, but it's done and the problems are still there.
    Time machine is off
    I don't use coverflow and i've tried it, it doesn't change anything.
    I've also re-installed Tiger and, wo-ow the problem is still there, especially when all is up to date.
    It seems that, the problem come from the last firmware update, i don't know if this firmware update was done for improving compatibility with bootcamp or leopard but for me it has added this strange display behavior.
    I've also tried to turn off quartz extreme, and it's even worst, worst on the lower part again but no changes on the upper, everything run smoothly.
    As i didn't noticed it when i used my mac for the first days (on Tiger and without the firmware update) and on windows with bootcamp there is still no display problems at all, i keep thinking it's not an hardware problem but a software (firmware, display on Mac osX) problem.
    It should be solved by a new firmware or Mac os upgrade until then i have to do with it.
    By the way, does anyone knows if there's a way for downgrading the gpu firmware ? (when i try, it say that i didn't need it), it's the only thing that i havent tried.
    Thanks in advance, and i beg your pardon for my pittyfull frenglish :s

  • Problem when user change between fields in ALV

    Hi guys.
    The problem is: In ALV reports, EDIT mode, when I change between fields, the new field gets selected (the data get selected in blue or gry color), so I can write over new values. The problem is that some users when try to change to another field, the new field doesnt get selected, so he needs to select all the value and then write the new values. Is it clear?
    I checked with the user in another PC using his user in SAP and when she changes to another field, the new field gets selected. Then I checked in her PC doing the same, and when I moved to another field, the new field doesnt get selected, so i need to select myself and then write.
    In my PC I can change fields, tabbing, and the new fields get select, but in her PC i can't do that.
    Is it a problem of windows? or SAP logon?
    Does anybody know about this issue?
    Regards

  • Problems when moving from OWB 10.1 to OWB 10.2

    Hello!
    I got some problems when I try to move from OWB 10.1 to OWB 10.2.
    In the new environment I have
    Oracle Warehouse Builder Client 10.2.0.1.31
    Oracle Warehouse Builder Repository 10.2.0.1.0
    When I try to create a dimension I got the following errors:
    VLD-0338: The hierarchy DEF in dimension D_ENGINE contains only one level ENGINE.
    For Storage Type-relational along with Deployment Option-Deploy Data Objects, dimension can consist of only one level (without any containing hierarchy).
    VLD-0339: In Relational Dimension D_ENGINE, the hierarchy DEF contains either only one level or no levels.
    Relational Dimension hierarchy should contain atleast two levels or relational dimension can contain only one level with out any hierarchy.
    When I then try to edit the dimension the Data Object Editor is not opened when I right-click and select "Open Editor". However when I double-click the Data Object Editor is opened but it is totally empty.
    Another problem I have is when I try to create a Process Flow, I can't create any tranistions. When I place the cursor on the first activity I get the arrow but when I drag it to the next no arrow is cretaed between them,
    I also like to add parameters to the start activity but I can't find the "Activity View"
