Moving clips from one project to another

having clicked 'import' and selecting a project to import i get a 'parse' error. I've no idea what this is or what to do about it. Any help greatly appreiciated

Here is one option to copy the whole "flattened" iMovie timeline to another project:
You can use the Timeline Movie.mov as an input for another iMovie project:
- Copy the Timeline Movie.mov outside the iMovie project package.
- Then open the copied Timeline Movie.mov in QuickTime Player Pro and enable ONLY the High Quality flag (otherwise the input will be deinterlaced!): In QT 7 you do this via enabling "Window/Show Movie Properties/Video Track/Visual Settings/High Quality" setting -- do not enable "Single Field" or "Deinterlace" because they deinterlace playback. You can also set "QuickTime Player 7/Preferences.../General/Use high quality video setting when available" to check the "High Quality" box by default (notice that the "Single Field" or "Deinterlace" boxes may have been saved to the file so sometimes you must take care to uncheck them).
- Then import the copied and High Quality -flagged Timeline Movie.mov to iMovie via its File/Import... command.
The import process may take a while if the project is long. Notice that the import is one big clip and you have to manually split it into scenes.

Moving a Clip From One Project to Another

How do you move a clip from one project to another keeping the sound clip and title that was used on that clip?

As far as I can tell, you can COPY all, or some, of the video clips (and stills) with transitions and FX and PASTE into a different Project. But you can't copy titles or audio tracks.
However, you can make a QT movie of the segment you want and import it. If it's short use 8-biy uncompressed or ProRes 422.
Or you can DUPLICATE what you need, and and new clips to the duplicate.

Can I copy clips from one project to another? The clips are still frames captured within a video event.

Can I copy clips from one project to another? The clips are frames saved as stills from a video event. I try the copy & paste but it does not seem to work.

The video was converted into MP4 and then I could get it into iMovie events. I had right clicked and saved farmes as stills. ABout 50 of them, When I tried to copy and paste those stills into another project I couldn't. They came up blank.
I ended up going to a Genius appointment at my APPLE store this afternoon and was told that those "stills" aren't really anything. Not a .jpg or video, so the program doesn't recognize them. So instead I'm using the Project with the 50 stills and copying other .jpgs and video into it. (This is for a 1961 Class Reunion, so it's old stuff). Seems to work so far.
So bottom line seems to be I can use these stills created from a video in the project in which they were created, but no where else. Do you know a way around this?

Thanks for the reply.
For now assuming that you are using Premiere Elements 11, 12/12.1, or 13/13.1 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit....
I am not sure that Left and Right channel audio editing is the answer to your DVD echo issue, but the opportunities for audio channel editing in Premiere Elements would include (before burn to)
1. Audio Mixer - Balance.
2. fx Effects/Audio Effects
Please refer to https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/using/effects-reference.html#audio_effects
for explanations of the Audio Effects.....
Balance
Channel Volume
Left Fill, Right Fill
Invert
Swap Channels
And, there is the free audio editor, Audacity Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder for channel editing.
Do you hear the echo before the burn to disc?
Is any of the Timeline video content from your cell phone? If so, did you have any issues with a variable frame rate when you were preparing the video in Edit area for burn to in Publish+Share?
What audio effects, if any, did you apply to the Timeline audio content prior to burn to?
Please consider.

Moving photos from one project to another

So, I'm painfully new to aperture but I was under the impression that if I drag and drop a group of photos from one project to another, it would MOVE the photos to the new project (as described here: http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=5%26sec tion=14%26tasks=true). When I do this, the images remain in the original project and it does get added to the second project (in an album under the new project). When I try to delete them from the original project, it also deletes them from both the original project and the new album in the new project. When I "Undo" the delete, it restores the photos to both the original project and the album under the new project.
Am I missing something?

The problem is you are dragging them into an Album not a project.
If you drag them into the project they will be moved. If you drag into an Album they remain in the original project as well as appearing the album. (in the album they are really pointers back to the originals in the project)

Moving Subtitles from one project to another

To make work on a project more efficient, we started a project on one computer with only the film track for subtitling, whilst authoring the DVD on an other computer, another project.
So, how do we move the subtitles created in one DVDSP project into another project?
I cannot see that the subtitle stream creates its own asset, which could be imported into the authoring project, and DVDSP refuses me to copy the subtitles to past them into the "real" project and I find no export options which seem to apply.
Humbly seeking help.

Sorry Per - there is no direct way of moving the subs from one project to another, or exporting them directly as an asset. The very best advice is to construct subtitles outside of DVDSP as a text file which you can then import, edit, alter exactly as you want. I suspect it's beyond that point for you now, though!
However, if you use the app 'Subtitler' then you can export an item description of your DVDSP track and extract the subtitles from it in STL format.
Another thing to do is to export the track from one project as an asset and import it into the new project, but then replace the video and audio elements with the correct pieces that you need to use. It's a lot more messy than simply having a text file for the subs, but could get you out of a hole.

--Any way to copy/paste clips from one project to another w/o LOSING TRANSITIONS...??

I have CS5...
I'm trying to speed up render/export time. I have multiple edited video's in about 15 different projects.
I had a couple video's within one project and rendered the work area - consisting of 4 video's...then exported. It was much faster than just going to straight exporting so I wanted to do the same with all the other video's.
Pull everything into one project - render first - and export from there but premiere doesn't copy transitions from one project to another. Is there any way to get it to copy/paste transitions??
Thanks

exported regularly and took 2hrs 50min's for each video....then rendered and exported - took prob around 2hrs total - including rendering/exporting.
That seems unlikely. If anything, the separate render/export should take slightly longer (though not that much) as you may also have to transcode the preview files (depending on your preview codec) during the render, as well as decode them for the export. Besides adding an additional layer of compression, it also adds time. Here's what I mean.
Export only:
1. Decode original media
2. Render new frame based on sequence, effects, titles, etc.
3. Transcode that new frame to the export codec of choice.
Render (1-3) /Export (4-5)
1. Decode original media.
2. Render new frame based on sequence, effects, titles, etc.
3. Transcode that new frame to the Preview codec (if anything less than Uncompressed, this adds time and potentially degrades quality)
4. Decode the rendered frame (if not Uncompressed, which adds time)
5. Transcode that (decoded) render frame to the export codec of choice.
So you see, the render first process has two extra steps which add time, one of which could also introduce additional artifacts (depending on your preview codec).

Moving Titles from one project to another

I want to combine several iMovie projects into one, in order to create a single DVD via iDVD. The projects are fairly simple - no music, just video, dissolves, and some text.
When I select all, and then copy and paste from one project to another, the titles do not transfer. The background for the titles - i.e. black spaces - do transfer, but not the text. It seems there's no simple way to move titles from one project to another. Is there a solution or workaround, or do I simply need to create new titles in my new, combined project? Thanks.

The simplest way would be to use multiple movies in iDVD. iDVD handles multiple movies easily and will help you set up a menu if you want. Just share your movies to the Media Browser. Then open iDVD and drag them into your iDVD project from the Media Browser in iDVD.

Moving Files from one project to another??

New to Aperture ..and wondering is there an easy way to move files from one project to another? Or to move from one Album one project to another Album in another project if the Albums have the same name?
thanks in advance,
Steve

Yes, simply drag-and-drop a thumbnail from a Project to another Project; or Option-drag-and-drop (one way copies the image, the other way moves the image).
Or to move from one Album one project to another Album in another project if the Albums have the same name
Although Albums can be located in Projects, Albums are really not "in" Projects as regards where the images come from. Each album is simply a virtual collection of pointers to images; the images pointed to can be located in multiple Project(s). So just drag-and-drop a thumbnail image from any project to an album to add a pointer for that image to that album.
Although it seems complex it really isn't. Albums are a very powerful organizational tool with essentially zero overhead. Try it. Create some test albums in various ways just to see what happens and delete the albums when you are done. Since Albums consist of just "pointers" we can make/delete them at will for any reason.
Note that Albums can be deleted with no warning message because Apple figures a simple collection of pointers is not that big a deal. Personally I think Album-deleting should have a (non-dire) explanatory warning message, because sometimes an album can consist of a complex collection of pointers.
Multiple Albums should never have the same name.

Moving image from one project to another

Hi all. I'm sorry if this is simple to do, but I can't figure it out. I have recently purchased Aperture 3 and am trying to figure out how to move an image from one project to another. I had several photos on my camera, and imported them this morning into it's own project. Now, I would like to take some of those photos and put them in my "family" project, and some into my "dogs" project, etc. When I open up the new project, I can't find where I can move them to another project. I have to assume this is doable, but I can't figure it out.
Thanks in advance.
Dale.

Sorry to be a complete idiot, but here's my issue. When I open the original project, and then find the image that I want to move, I am unable to see any other projects (in browser view), so I have nowhere to drag them to. I hope that makes sense and you can help.
Thanks again.
Dale.

Moving table from one project to another project using metadata.

I have exported metadata of one table from project owb_demo and I want the same table in project Owb_demo_1 by importing the metadata. I am newbie . When we export it even store project info like owb_demo . How to change this things in metadata. When I try to import it gives error saying table already exists.
How do we migrate objects from one project to other using import and export of metadata.
thanks

Hi Vix,
Regarding using multiple enviornments in OWB there is a case study on "How to manage multiple versions of BI implementation". You can find it the OWB case studies on the net. This guide is a useful one.
One more thread you can look into in this forum - " How design with OWB", the link is below:
How to design inside OWB
Still if you want some specific explanations regarding this, better start a fresh new thread.
Hope this helps

Moving pages from one project to another??

I only keep one website per iWeb project. How could I copy a couple of pages from one iWeb project and move them to another.
Given I can only have one iWeb project open at a time.
Is such a thing possible?
Ben

you can use iWebSites: http://mistergregg.com/cocoadrillosoftware/iWebSites/
to merge the two projects then drag the wanted pages from one site to the other site.
be sure to make back up of your domain.sites2 packages before the merging procedure.
however, if those pages happen to be blog entries or podcast entries then you are pretty much out of luck because there is no simple way to merge them.

How Do I Transfer Clips From One Project To Another?

I have what is probably a basic question. I have two projects that I'm working on, and need to transfer a set of clips from my first project to my second. How would I do that.

Method 1: Open the project that you want to have the clips in, then go to File->Import->Files and navigate to where the clips are stored on your hard drive.
Method 2: Open both projects. Go to the first project, copy the clips you want, then paste them into the other project.

How do I copy clips from one project into another?

Ok, I have gathers a bunch of clips from various events to forma project. Now I want to rearrange everything in a new project. Can I somehow get my first project to act like an event? That way I can grab the clips into a new project window... Thanks

If I understand what you are trying to do, you do not need to "get my first project to act like an event". Merely drag the same clips you used in your first project from their original event location(s) into the new project. Then reorder or re-edit the clips as desired. There is no need to make them into a "dummy" project first.
If you want to have EVERY (or almost every) clip in both the first and new projects, with the second merely being reordered or re-edited, use the *File > Duplicate Project* menu command. Then go to work on the newly duplicated copy of the project. You can rename the duplicated project as desired and reorder, edit, or delete the clips in the duplicated project without dragging them from any event.

Library corruption after moving images from one project to another.

Hi,
I have Aperture 1.5 running on a PowerMac G5. I'm using an external disk (via FW800) for the library. The disk catalog has no problems.
Today I want to reduce the number of projects and move a few images between projects. There is one project with a few hundred files where I wanted to move a large subset to another project. I selected the images in the source project and dragged them onto the other project. Some processing happened and after a few seconds I got a dialog which said that some problem with the library happened and that I have to quit Aperture and restart Aperture with control-shift-option. There was only an okay button and the next (same dialog) appeared... and again/again... Finally I was able to quit Aperture and restart Aperture.
After restarting Aperture several images in the source project were grey with a question mark and a link icon in the lower left.
Looks like Aperture cannot move images reliably between projects. That would be a huge bug.
Regards,
Rainer Joswig

Hi Rainer,
Have you tried again to rebuild your Library
(Option/CMD on relaunch)? THis might fix the grey
images in the souce location. Where the images which
were dragged to the other Project OK? What hapens if
you make an adjustment on one of the grey images?
Does it render the thumbnail?
Also, check you task manager to make sure it's still
not trying to render the thumbnails. Though, it's
most likely not the case given the question mark on
the image.
I did the library rebuild now. The problems seem to have gone.
Then I also copied a few more pictures between projects. So far
the problem has not shown again.
Best Regards,
Rainer Joswig
