Is there a way to edit a project on two different versions of FCP?

I am editing for a director who has a higher version of FCP. I don't want to upgrade because it will interfere with my work with other directors. But I'd like to be able to take the film that's now on 6.0.4 to my computer, which is running 6.0.1. I thought I'd heard somewhere about exporting an edl and being able to use that? I don't know anything about this, so if anyone can let me know if that's possible and and what the work flow is, it would be great!
thanks

See if there's a way with your current configuration to make this idea work:
Clone your 2nd internal drive volume onto an external drive, then clone your boot drive volume onto the 2nd internal volume (erasing everything that's on the 2nd internal first.)
Now you have two identical boot drives in your G5. With one of them booted, invoke Software Update, and update Final Cut to v6.0.4. Use that volume to work on this project, and when you have to work on a project that requires v6.0.1, boot to that drive volume.
The downside is that your media files will now be on a firewire drive, but that's doable. Better yet, buy an eSATA PCI card and install it in your G5, and buy an eSATA external enclosure for your media drives. Perfect.

Is there a way to sync the ical from two different computers?

My husband and I both have Macbook Pros, as well as two separate iphones. Is there a way to sync our calendars? Maybe using icloud? I'm not very good at this stuff and would like for the calendar I create to sync with the calendar he creates.
Thanks!

How can I edit my project on two different computers?

So I began a project on computer 1. I need to continue editing on computer 2. I emailed the document to myself and saved it onto my computer. The video for the project is coming from my phone so I have the files on both computers. When I opened the project on computer 2 to continue editing, it asked me to locate the files that we're on computer 1. How can I locate the files to the ones on computer 2?

Find the missing media file in your project panel. Right click on it, and choose "Link Media".
It will open a new window in which you can navigate to the location where you saved your file on computer 2. If you check the "Display Only Exact Name Matches", it will be easier to find. Bear in mind that when you begin to edit on computer 2, there is no way to update computer 1, except by going through this same procedure in reverse.

If the system just Restarted on it's own, Shut down while you were working on something then started back up all those changes, edits, you had done in that app, document, are gone.

the old apps are on my computer but they have had upgrades since they were put on the ipod originally. you think you would get a warning about this when you restored. I was not worried about losing the progress of the apps but i would have been worried about the app it self!!!!!

Is there any way to fix a project recorded in the wrong resolution without redoing?

Is there any way to resize a project once it has been recorded so that it fits on the screen? The person who recorded the project set the resolution at 1280 X 774 pixels and it's too large to see the entire project on the screen...you have to keep panning back and forth. I am hoping we don't have to have him rerecord the entire project.

Hi there
Try clicking Project > Rescale and scaling the project to be a smaller size.
Note that you probably want to leave the "Maintain aspect ratio" option selected (you are welcome Lilybiri )
Additionally, note that rescaling will inevitably result in a loss of fidelity. Things just begin to fuzzy up when you do that. The degree to which it suffers is in direct proportion to how much scaling you wish to do.
As a final note, you only really want to ever rescale a project once. So if you aren't sure about the final outcome, click File > Save As and rescale. Look at it. LIke it? Terrific! Keep it! Don't like it so much? Scrap it and open the original again. Then again click File > Save As...
Rinse and repeat as necessary... Rick

Is there a way to change the project timecode in FCPX?

Is there a way to change the project timecode in FCPX? So that my sequence can start at 01:00:00:00 or am I stuck
with it starting at 0?

I guess you could, but that would be an hour long gap clip before your sequence which would make for a very
unweildy sequence. Especially since this cut will be only about a minute.

Is there a way to edit text in a smart object brought in from illustrator? Many thanks for the help!
And can anyone recommend learning resources for someone (me) who is an AI user for a decade who needs to work in PS for web mockups? Something other than a basic PS tutorial. Something geared towards that specific task. I'm not a PS beginner - but have mostly used it for photo correction until now.
Truly -- thanks! BTW - I'm in the CS 6 Suite and CC will not be available to me.

OMG! When I went back into the ai file and made sure that the text was on it's own layer (which I had not originally done) I could indeed edit the text in the file when exported to ps! This is a perfect solution for this situation. As far as the person I'm working with - who fears ai more than anything - I can work in ai - which in many ways is so much less cumbersome than ps - and just export - clicking "preserve" layers & text editing! I hope this helps someone else! Sisham - many thanks for your help!

Is there a way to edit songs in itunes?

I am working on creating a dvd and am making slideshows of pictures from iphoto. I only want to use a portion of a song I have in itunes. Is there a way to edit the music? If so, how?
Thanks

+"I only want to use a portion of a song I have in itunes."+
Go into Get Info > Options and set the Start and Stop times where you want them, then OK. Then, assuming it is an unprotected file, use the "Convert Selection to XXX" to create a new shorter file that only consists of the section you want.
You can either keep or delete the original (longer) file. If you are keeping it, you may want to go back into it and remove the Start and Stop.

Is there a way to edit files?

Is there a way to edit files in iTunes? What I would like to do, in one or two cases, is keep half a file.
For example, I have one file which consists of an interview followed by a song, I'd like to discard the interview but keep the song.

That's helpful, thanks. Is there a way of getting rid of the unwanted portion, so as to save memory?

Is there a way to edit music from itunes to use in an iphoto slideshow

I would like to use a section of a song for a slideshow I am making, but only want to use part of the song. Is there a way to edit the song? If so, how do I do this?

Christine:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Not with iTunes or iPhoto. You can edit a track in iTunes to play only a selected portion but that editing does not carry over to use in iPhoto.
You can use a 3rd party audio editor like Amadeus Pro to select the portion of the track you want to use and create a new file with it. Import the new file into iTunes and use in iPhoto. Some users have suggested using Garageband if you've installed it. It takes up too much disk space for me and I prefer using Amadeus Pro.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

You need to use a video editor like iMovie or QuicktimePro. OR an app like this:

With previous editions of iTunes for Windows, I could play a CD at the same time as it was being imported. That does not work anymore. Why not, and is there a way to do both with the most current version?

With previous editions of iTunes for Windows, I could play a CD at the same time as it was being imported. That does not seem to work anymore. Why not, and is there a way to do both with the most current version? I am running a Surface Pro 2 with Windows 8.1 and the most recent vesion of iTunes, which, in all other respects, works well. I just can't listen to an album for the 1/2 to 1 hour that it takes to import it into my library.

Is there any way to package a project to move it to another computer?

I've got FCE4 projects on one computer but I need to be able to open and work on them on my MBP as well. Currently, I've got the projects in Dropbox, but when I open them, the source media files all need to be reconnected.
I guess I could painstakingly hunt for them all one by one. Any file I have imported into FCE I keep in the same folder, but files created by iMovie and FCE [like sequence files] I have no idea where they are.
Is there any way to package the project, like you can in InDesign? That software packages all related files into 1 folder so you always have them.
Thaks for the help!

I am using an external scratch disk, but there's not a lot in each project's folder. I need a way to pull everything a project uses and place it in 1 folder so I can move it to another machine. I have everything I've imported...it's just links to iMovie files [I exported rough cuts to xml, then imported into FCE4. I'm not sure why FCE4 is looking for the original iMovie file...] and sequence files that I need to be able to find.
I was really hoping for some kind of automated function, like packaging in InDesign...
