Move clips between computers

I have a desktop and laptop, and wish to be able to move clips and projects between the machines as i work on them.
Ideally i would like ot have them on my NAS but really struggling with the interface, i cannot even find a way to export anything unless its a project.
Problem is iwhile i am away i download to my laptop, but want to work on the projects on my desktop.
I am using version 10.0.1, which is confusing as i believe its the latest version but there is much on here about imovie 11!
I am fairly new to mac, and completely new to imovie,

The phrasing of your last sentence suggests you did not install FCE from a DVD. If you didn't it is highly likely that it is incorrectly installed.
If this is so, run http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcs_remover.htm to completely remove all traces before reinstalling properly.

How do I move clips between projects?

Should be a simple enough task but, how do I move clips made in one project to another project?

clip media is not conained within a project per se, rather it is referenced by a project, so as long as the media is on the hard disc then it can be referenced by as many projects as you'd like.
you can open multiple projects simultaneously ... then to move clips between the projects you can just drag and drop between the various projects' bins, or copy and paste if you prefer.

Import Movie clips between iPhoto libraries.

I need to import iPhoto movie clips from one iPhoto library to another. I was successful to share the library and import the photos but the movie clips taken with my iPhone do not show up to import. Please help.

There is no way to share movie clips.
Either export them to the Finder and then import them to the other Library or use iPhoto Library Manager

How to share an iMovie clip between computers?

I've created a fairly large movie in iMovie 9 on my desktop. It's almost done--I just have to create the credits.
I decided in order to give my desktop a rest, I'd create the credits on my laptop and then transfer them to the main movie on my desktop.
So I created the credits as a new iMovie project on my laptop, and want to now transfer that project to my movie on my desktop. Can someone tell me how to do this? Thanks.
(N. B.: I just noticed that while I have iMovie 9 on my desktop, my laptop runs iMovie 11. I'm assuming that moving between the two won't be a problem, as they seem to look identical and produce the same results--at least in doing credits.)

Hi
But how do I physically move the file between the two computers? Thumb drive?
NO !
Connection - Either connect one Mac in Target mode to the other via FireWire. Or use an external hard disk !
(Target-Mode - Start one Mac e.g. laptop - BUT keep T-key down during full up-start - Now a FW-symbol is jumping around the screen and it will work as an external hard disk when connected to the other Mac)
A. The External Hard Disk - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work for Video. UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange works for most other things but not for Video whatever program is used (iMovie or FinalCut)
B. Should be a FireWire one as USB/USB2 performs badly to me and especially when filling up
C. Do never Move or Alter any folder named
• iMovie Event's - or -
• iMovie Project's
on DeskTop/Finder - as this will result in iMovie losing connections to them and repair can be anything from hard to impossibly
D. Moving and Copying must be done within iMovie application and Events to Events - and - Project's to Project's.
E. Moving Project's to Event's - Do not work for me - I have to export project as a QuickTime movie then Import this into Events.
Yours Bengt W
Event's window can show two faces

from one hard disk Event - You can move it to the other hard disk

Premiere element 12 crashes when I move clips between video 1 and 2

here are the problem details, has anyone else experienced this problem and is there a solution. I've logged off and rebooted many times today, to no avail. I've removed the clips where it crashed and this has made no difference either.

What operating system are you using? What processor does your computer have, how much RAM do you have and how much free, clean space is on your hard drive? When did you last run Disk Cleanup and Disk Defragmenter?
Have you ensured that you have the latest version of Quicktime from Apple.com?
What model of camcorder is your video coming from and what format and resolution is it?
When you add the video to your timeline in Expert view, is there a yellow orange line along the top of the timeline, above your clips? This would indicate a mismatch between the program's project settings and your video specs?

How to move clips between events

By mistake I imported some movies into an existign event isntead of creating a new event. Now I can't figure out how to move them to a new or even a different existing event.

By mistake I imported some movies into an existign event isntead of creating a new event. Now I can't figure out how to move them to a new or even a different existing event.
Close iMovie '08. At the "Finder" level, open the "iMovie Events" folder where you want to store your "new" event and create an new, empty folder with the name you wish to call the event. When finished, re-open iMovie '08. After it scans your drives, the new event folder name show up in your "Event Library" list as an empty event. At this time select the source "Event" so you can see the clips you wish to move. Simply drag these files from the source event and drop them on the name if the event to which you wish to move them. Using this process, iMovie '08 should internally update all required pointers as needed.

Moving clips between computers

I have clips on my computer in iMovie that I want to transfer to my daughters computer (both are fairly recent Macs running 10.8.2) so that she can use them in an iMovie project. How do I best do this? Do I need to put them into a project first? Am I best off using an external drive for the transfer (as opposed to Wi-Fi)? Thanks for any advice!
Dan

Hi
I think You can connect via Wi-Fi - but read my (general) note on this.

Movie transfer between computers

Hi All,
I sometimes download rental movies from the itunes store to my intel imac, but then I want to transfer that movie to my mac mini which is hooked up to my flat screen. Is there an easy way to do it directly and within itunes? BTW, everything's wireless and authorized. Thanks, mj.

"Can I play my rental on more than one device?
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4, iPod touch (4th generation), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer."

Move files between computers

I have a new macbook air and a 5 year old iMac. I want to move some files from the iMac to the air. What's the easiest way to do it? I thought I could network the two together with my modem/router. They can see each other but file sharing doesn't seem to be working even though I'm trying to enable it. Do I need another piece of hardware such as an Airport base station?

Thanks useless,
This would work, I think. I don't have the Thuderbolt/Firewire connection I would need, although I could buy the required converter. I was hoping to do it wirelessly. Can I do the same thing wirelessly through my modem/router?

Move pictures between computers

How can i get older pictues from my mac book to my desktop? Can I use an Ipod?

You can network the PowerBook and the Macbook with an ethernet cable. That's how I move most stuff among our five active Macs. See this for instructions on network file sharing:

BTW, you have a PowerBook and a MacBook but your post ended up in teh forum for pre-2006 iMacs. I'll ask theHosts to move it to an appropriate forum.

A droplet to move file between computers on different networks?

Hey all!
I have a Mac Mini working as the media server for my TV. I use the same Mini to download all my torrents, since it's connected directly to my router.
I was wondering if anyone can think of a way to create a droplet (or something else with similar functionality) so that I can use my Macbook Pro remotely from work to initiate torrent downloads on my Mini at home. I understand how it'd be possible to do so with VNC, but I'm more interested in something simpler (like a droplet between my laptop and my Mini).
Thanks geniuses!

The only seamless way to control your mac mini remotely would be to use screen sharing (VNC). The other way would be to use ssh to remotely log in, but that would only give you command-line accessibility to the Mac Mini. There may be a couple of other options, however.
For one, it sounds like you might want to initiate a torrent download remotely, using a torrent file that you have remotely. There are some torrent programs that have the ability to "watch" a given folder for new torrent files and then immediately start up the transfer when new torrents are detected in that folder. As such, you could share that folder and then access it remotely using AFP. All you'd need to know is your home ip address and then you'd use the command-K key sequence to "connect to" and then enter the ip address. After logging in you could then drag the torrent you ahve on your Macbook to the shared folder on your Mini and after the transfer the torrent program running on your Mini would automatically start up the transfer.
You could then make an alias on your Macbook of the mounted shared folder, so it will be easier to access in the future; however, this would require the ip address to be static (most home internet accounts dont have static ip addresses).

Moving clips between projects, without rendering them

Is this possible? I work on a Macbook Pro, using CS4 production premium. How can I move clips between projects in PP CS4?
I KNOW there's a way. Just can't figure it out.
Thanks!

The easiest, IMO, is to Open your source Project and remove everything that will not be needed. Do a Save_As. Import that Save_As Project into your new one. Be sure to then twirl open the Bins, and Dbl-click on the Save_As Project's Timeline.
Hunt
PS I also go to Project and choose Delete Unused (or similar syntax) to clean things up for the Save_As.

Moving clips between events

In the FCPX manual, it states that you can move clips between events by just clicking and dragging a clip from one event to another. It also says that doing the same thing with the option key down will copy clips to the other event.
However, I've noticed that dragging a clip to another event just makes a copy of the clip. It's kinda annoying. Any workaround?

I'm seeing odd behaviour with this too.
Imported a tape which contained 3 separate days footage of different activities.
These were imported to my Movies folder in Home directory.
I created 2 new events and tried moving the content as per manual instructions for content on same drive but I only ended up with copies or a freeze due to a non-updating background activity (the file transfer).
Ended up with multiple copies of the same clips in different events on the same drive, some events listing the clips several times but only a single physical clip when viewed in Finder.
I managed to move a single clip successfully but for the life of me not sure why that worked - maybe because it was a single clip not a group?
This is very disconcerting behaviour when you're trying to organise content.

Moving clips between bins

I am finding media management in prelude a real pain.
After ingesting my H264 head cam material, I often need to sort and move the rushes into appropriate bins.
I find this takes ages with with Prelude CC 3.1 why?
I also have to often start new (monthly) projects because of the long delay opening old (large) projects.
Is there a way to open project without it taking ages looking for all of the media therein referenced?
As I have many projects for this year, how can I do a search through several? Is there any way of combining or referencing other projects, or having 2 open at a time to move clips between?
Steve

bump
no one with the same problem?
