Is it possible that 2 separate computers working on one project?

Hi,
I have the problem that 2 people must be able to work on the same project:
(not necessary at the same time)
1. Person does all the image adjustments (which is me the photographer)
2. Person does all the metadata.
The project is installed on my computer, Aperture is installed of both computers.
So,
Can 2 computers work on one Project?
(we are connected in a network via Ethernet)
Or how could this situation work?
AP would save us a lot exporting and importing (where we usual loose the iptc data along the road) if this is possible.
thanks for your help...

There was an earlier (much earlier) post regarding this same topic when Aperture first came out. If memory serves me, the answer to your question is 'no', but that answer was for your not being able to have two people working on the same project library at the same time. However, if you can place the library file on a drive that has enough throughput across a network, then I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do what you want as long as only one person access the library at a time.
However, performance is going to be your biggest issue.

How do i work on one project and bounce between two computers

I have one project that I would like to work between my mac book pro and my mac pro and i cannot seem to find an answer to this question

What Tom said…and just to add: if you have any custom effects, pay attention to "Note" in the first section of this kb doc. (Speaking from experience, you can avoid a lot of stress by remembering to do that – especially if you're working on a job on someone else's system.)

Re-allocating Actual Costs and Actual Work from one project to multiple projects

My company would like to track costs in one project and then re-allocate those costs to multiple projects. Example: An end user would submit a timesheet against a task named 'Analysis' for Project A. Once accepted and published, the
costs for those hours would be subtracted from Project A and 60% of those costs would be transferred to the 'Analysis' task for Project X and 40% of the costs for those hours would be transferred to Project Y.
We believe we can accomplish this through reporting, but before we go this route, we wanted to make sure there was not a logical, supported way in MS Project Server to complete these actions. Could a script be developed to accomplish this?
Thank you!
Tasha

Out of the box Project and Project Server do not support this. However with VBA anything is possible. You could also use PSI to work directly with project data in teh Server db but that would take much longer to develop. Check you can do what you want
in VBA then you can use the result to spec the server version afterwards.

How do I sync so that album art work in one library is copied over to another via home-sharing? Most of the artwork has been scanned and added by me.

I have three computers, each with its own iTunes Library, but if I add material to one, every few days I make sure that it's copied over to the others via homesharing. However, some of the metadata does not transfer, specifically the album art work. So on one library, call it my Home Library, everything is nice and tidy, with album artwork where it should be. On the other two, all the albums I've painstakingly made sure are complete on the home library are missing the art work.
Any thoughts? Tune Ranger and other iTunes maintenance apps don't seem to do the job, either. Coverscout, PowerTunes and Song Sargent also fail this task.

My understanding it iTunes handles artwork several ways. First, iTunes keeps a copy of all artwork in its artwork folder. Second, artwork can optionally be embedded in a media file. You can, for example, have an album where no artwork is actually in the files but all use a reference copy in the artwork folder. Even if a file has artwork embedded it may still use the version in the artwork folder.
Embedded artwork travels with the file when you copy the file.
I am hazy as to when exactly iTunes will embed artwork and when it won't. I believe, for example, if you use iTunes to fetch artwork it will not embed it, it will just place a copy in the artwork folder. Then too I never use iTunes to fetch artwork and I usually end up with artwork embedded in a file or two per LP (each embedded copy uses up more disk space). Now, I still use iTunes 7.5 and new versions may not behave exactly the same. If it was my version and I added artwork to a file it would embed it and it would transfer. It sounds like your artwork isn't embedded even if you are adding it the same way I would (I drag mine to the little arwork display box in the bottom left corner of my window, which apparently has vanished completely in iTunes 11).
You could try this for a file:
Script for embedding artwork - http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=embedart
Just remember embedding artwork adds to each file size, so if you have 1000 files and you add 2 MB of high quality scans to each track you are taking up 2 GB more of drive space.

How to work on one project but with two different computers

I'm editing a movie.
My computer might be overwhelmed with all the information - speed is slowed and it gets hot quickly.
I would like to use my second computer where I have cloud installed
to edit on the same timeline or in a different sequence to give my
main computer a rest.
Is that possible?
Thank you for your help!

As well as the reply from Anish about using your program on 2 computers, you need to ask in the program forum for how to best use the programs to do what you want

Can I possibly get Premiere to work for this project?

Hi. I am working on a time lapse scanner photography project. I scan flowers a few times an hour and then make videos of them drying out. I'm currently making a movie of it all. The thing is, the scans can be thousands of pixels high/wide. The problem arises when I make sequences with 20 or more of these videos (scaled down to around 10% in Premiere) moving together. It becomes almost unusable on my older Macbook Pro. Doing the more complex parts of it is also very inconvenient on a new iMac. Because I'm working with so many files, I tried out After Effects. Its proxying feature excited me, but it soon became clear that AE is meant mostly for shorter projects, and not for clips that can get 40 GB + in size. For example, in trying to make tiny proxies of clips last night, only four succeeded. It seems that the rendering is centered on your available RAM, and when it runs out (a few seconds into the first clip) rendering becomes very slow. This might work for ads or something, but not for this project. Maybe I'm not using it correctly though.
So I don't know what to do. I've tried a proxy workaround for Premiere, but that seems to involve working with clips at the resolution you made the proxy at, unlike AE where you can work with a now-more-blurry version of your main file. I tried making a tiny proxy manually, and then upscaling it in Quicktime Pro 7, but that seems to also be slow for Premiere, leading me to think that multiplying the one clip in my test sequence by 20 or more wouldn't be that different.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how do edit a project like this with a reasonably responsive UI? I don't care if I have to spend hours rendering proxies, or rendering the final copy afterwards, I just want to be able to edit without waiting for minutes when I click on a 20 layer part of the movie. I understand that this is probably an abnormal way of using Premiere, as normally one only uses a few layers at a time.
Another idea I had was to do the parts of the movie with 20+ layers in AE, and import them in Premiere to get around AE's focus on shorter lengths. But this doesn't get around the issue that its proxying feature, and rendering engine in general seems to be tailoured towards shorter projects. If you are confused, that's okay, I can elaborate more and provide pictures.
Here's some single videos from the project:

ATI cards will not work for GPU acceleration of the Mercury Playback Engine and only Nvidia cards with at least 1 GB or RAM and at least 96 CUDA cores will allow for a good experience when using the GPU enable Mercury Playback Engine. I have a mediocre GT 240 with 1GB of RAM and it rocks. It is much better than using the software only mode. Software only mode is not bad but GPU enabled is so much better. You will have to trust me on that. A new Macbook Pro would not be wise. In fact $900.00 Dell or HP with at least 96 CUDA cores and 1 GB of RAM would be a much better option. You could in theory get a mediocre $600.00 Quad Core from Best Buy and then buy either a $70.00 Nvidia GT 240 graphics card or even a $135.00 GTX 550 graphics card to put in the system. That would work just as well.

Does anyone have an iPhone that does not work outside one country, a valid roaming sim will not work in a second country, neither will a new sim from that country

I first thought this was a network lock snag,
Could only resolve when travelling,
Now I have been told apple don't know why their phone doesn't work

When go with a service that service provider locks the phone until the contract agreement is fullfilled. Even if you don't have a contract you still need to contact the first service provider and request to have the phone unlocked.

Possible to copy automation data from one project to another?

Hi
I have done some automation editing to a region in a project, and I would like to copy it to an identical region in another project. Is this possible?

I have not tried this method I'm now going to describe, but 'logic' dictates it should work:
1. In your donor project, open the *Automation Event List* , ctrl-⌘-E, then open a new Arrange window, ⌘-1. The new arrange window will now contain regions that only hold automation.
2. Go to *Logic Pro>Preferences>Audio>Devices>Coreaudio* tab and UNtick the Enabled box. (If you don't, each audio file and instrument will have to be reloaded each time you switch from one to the other project. That would drive anyone absolutely nuts.)
3. Now open the other project, get an Automation arrange window there, like in 1.
Now you should be able to copy/paste automation regions between the two projects.
Hope this works... I think that you need to set the playhead at the right position before pasting, but you'll have to figure that out yourself...
regards, Erik.

Multiple people working on one project

Hello,
A co-worker and I have run into a problem with robohelp and
network drives. We are currently switching over a guide of
procedures to Robohelp. We did have our project located on our
intranet for the rest of our team members to use when we are
finished. We are also going to be using Robo Help for more than
what we are doing right now. I've read here that the access
database that our project uses doesn't like network drives. My
questions are, what do I need to buy to be able to have two people
working in the same project at one time?
Thank You,

We did have our project located on our intranet for the rest
of our team members to use when we are finished. - That sounds like
the output and it is quite OK to put that on a network drive for
users to read.
What must not be on a network is you source project. To do
that you don't need to buy anything as RH comes with source
control. If you pop the original CD in, you will find an option to
install it. I am assuming you have a fairly recent version.
Before you proceed, go to
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/robohelp/
and take a look at Matthew Ellison's article on the subject. You
will probably need developer assistance to set it up.

Is it possible to clone an object from one image and paste it on another image?

Is it possible to clone an object from one image and paste it on another image in Aperture?

As Frank said,
but Aperture has a nice clone tool - the drawback is, that it only works within one image.
What I sometimes do - as a workaroud, when I want to use the clone brush, is to combine the image I want to clone from and the image I want to clone into, into one single image by printing them together to pdf as jpeg. Then I can clone from the second to the first, for example, to be able to add an fairy to a flower: Picking up the head of the fairy in the right image and brushing it into the left one. Occasionally I prefer the Aperture brush to the Photoshop lasso.

Can I edit one project on two computers with external drive and two copies of software?

I have two copies of premiere elements. One on IMac and one on Macbook. Video files on external drive. I want to be able to edit same project on both. I originally started the project on macbook but IMac doesn't see the exsisting project. Can I do this? thanks for the help

jazziegirl
Thanks for the follow up.
The matter of the sign in/trial version has happened to me from time to time with Premiere Elements (I worked with Windows). I supply
the requested information and that usually takes care of that message for a long while.
What is the status of the issue now with the MacBook Pro to iMac projects? Is that matter restricted to just one project from MacBook Pro to iMac?
If so, on this particular one, did you try the Project Archiver/Copy Project workflow in MacBook Pro?
As for the error message...I am not a Mac user, and consequently I am not sure I am interpreting the following correctly. But take a look to see if any of it applies

I need to translate a flash program with many pages to edge animate CC. Is there an easy way top build new pages, so that you can jump from one page to another withion the same file?

I have only seen in all the examples in books and on the net that edge animate works on one page only. Maybe I hve not fully understood the concept, but in flash it was easy. Perhaps there is also an easy way in edge animate?

You can either make a symbol for each page in the same composition or you can use edge commons composition loader to load several compositions into the same composition which serves as a container.

IPhone 5 wifi works in one room but not the other.

I have an iPhone 5 and the wifi is unreliable. It works in the room with the router but when I walk down the hall it doesn't work. I'm talking 20 feet away. So frustrating because the phone is almost worthless. Why would it connect but only in such close range? No other devices have this problem. Yes, I've turned the wifi on and off. Yes, I've restarted the router. Yes, I've checked the WEP. It just makes no sense that it would work in one room but not the next room. Help!

Google iPad Sync Microsoft Exchange - Sync only works in One Direction

I have setup my iPad to sync with Google calendar using Microsoft Exchange, which supposes to work bidirectionally.
I found that it only works in one direction such that anything in my Google calendar (includes all the subscribed calendars in Google) got sync to my iPad. After I add a new event in my Google calendar, it is pushed to my iPad.
On the other hand, any new event I add to my iPad calendar is not updated and shown in my Google calendar. This means the sync works only in one direction:
Google Calendar Event --- sync ---> iPad (works perfectly and the event is pushed almost pushed instantly)
iPad Calendar Event. --- sync ---> Google Calendar << FAILED >> (Event entered to my iPad never shows in the Google Calendar)
Sync works unidirectionally but not bidirectionally
Anyone has encounter this problem and is there any solution?

I don't think the solutions here are for the question that's posed.
I have an Exchange account set up on my iPhone 4. I want my Exchange calendar to sync with my Google calendar. I set up Google Sync, and I can see both calendars. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to get the two calendars to sync with each other. i.e., if I create an event on my iPhone, it doesn't push to both calendars. I have to pick one or the other.
The solution Stanley Wong suggested only sets Google as your default calendar; it doesn't actually sync the calendar events between the Exchange and the Google calendars. Unless I missed something?
Is there a solution for actually syncing the two calendars with each other? It seems like we should be able to create an event on the iPhone and have it sync to both phones without having to have Outlook open on a PC and using Google Calendar Sync to do that.
