Moving Logic Projects from 7 to 9...

I bought a new laptop and installed Logic 9. My old desktop had Logic 7. When I open projects in Logic 9, Battery and my Korg stuff don't seem to load how they should. What am I doing wrong? I'm assuming any non-Logic stuff just isn't loading correctly. Help! :/

if they don't load the way they should, how do they load? More info needed. Did you go from a ppc machine to an intel one? Maybe you need newer versions of your plugins.
Yes the projects were on a PPC machine and now I'm on Intel. I've updated all the plugins. They work if I just open a new track (even in the same project) and then find the instrument and open it. They work that way. They just don't load. They have a diagonal dash through them and it still says what they are - Battery, Monopoly, etc. If I try clicking to open the instrument it just doesn't work. If I hold down to select a new instrument it'll show the current instrument at the top, but the text is faded.

  • "Moving a project from network L: drive to C: drive - how do I relink the files?

    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/4.0/WS3D22F379-B6C7-4d8c-9548-26AA3E1EA74F.html
    In the above thread "Moving a project to another computer" it states the assets should retain their file names and folder locations so that Premiere Pro can find them and relink them to their clips in the project automatically and although I'm only a novice PP user that is standard advice for any software.  However I can't find advice anywhere on how to swap a project from one disk drive to another on the same computer.
    What I want to do is move the project media files off my network (L:) drive to the C: drive of the editing computer as all the advice on here about disk drives is not to use network drives.  I've copied the files over but how do I replace the media file links within the PP project which are currently pointing to the sub-folders on my L:drive with replacement one's pointing to the same folder names but with the path as C: drive.  Sorry if it is a numpties question but I'm not finding the answer via search.
    Reason for shifting project - for some reason the sequence files were being lost when I reopened the project so I had to reuse the last good auto-save despite loss of some editing work and the project had also suddenly started taking up to an hour to load all the linked media.  Given the advice about not using network drives decided to eliminate one of the possible causes before going any further with risk of losing the edited file.. 

    I strongly agree with Jim on where to relocate the Project and media files.
    Now, when you do Move the files, the Paths (absolute) in the PRPROJ file(s), will no longer be correct. The drive letter will have changed.
    When you Open your Project from its new location, you will get a question dialog, "Where is file _____ ?" for the first Asset, where the link is now broken. Using the Finder, navigate to the folder, where that first missing Asset is NOW located, and select that. PrPro will then look in that folder, and will automatically relink to all Assets in that folder. If you have your Assets in multiple folders, you will need to repeat, for each folder, and again, PrPro will relink to all Assets in THAT folder. Depending on the folder/sub-folder hierarchy, you will have to repeat for all folders.
    When all Assets have been relinked, I would immediately do a Save_As, incrementing the Project's name, so as to NOT overwrite that original Project file - just in case you ever need to revisit that.
    Good luck,

  • Problem Moving XCode Project From iMac to MacBook

    I have been working with an Objective C library for iPhone apps using XCode on a iMac running OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63). My project builds fine on this system. I need to relocate the project to a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.4 (12E55). I have XCode 4.6.3 installed on both systems. The project fails to build on the Mac Book pro. I get two compile errors, both claiming "No visible @interface for 'xxx' declares the selector 'yyy'". (xxx and yyy are class and method names respectively.) The source code appears correct, and as I mentioned this very same project builds fine on the iMac.
    I can zip the project directory structure on the MacBook and copy it back to the iMac, and it again compiles just fine.
    The project will also build on another iMac using XCode 4.6.1
    I've tried stuff like deleting the schemes and re-creating them, etc.
    I'm rather new to the Apple development world. The code was developed by someone else, and unfortunately I can't really call him in on this. So if anyone has run into anything like this, I'd appreciate knowing what the causes/remedies might be. Thanks..

    Sorry. There is no remedy other than doing it correctly the first time. What you will have to do is rebuild the project from scratch.
    Do all of the following on the original machine. Create a new project using the correct template for whatever you are building. Use git SCM. Setup all of the plist and bundle IDs to be the same as the original. Then, open up the original project. Drag all of the source files except for main.m from the old project to the project navigator of the new one. When promped, make sure you copy the files to the destination. Once you have all of the files copied over, get the project running again. I'm sure you will have difficulty because there are probably other things that were done incorrectly.
    Once you have the new app working, you can transfer it to the new machine. You might want to look at setting up a remote repository. You will also want to do additional testing. Once you familiarize yourself with the code, you might want to split it back up again into an organization that makes sense for you.

  • Moving Multitake Project From one Machine to Another?

    Hello all,
    I just finished a multitake session of ADR on my Macbook Pro. I want to do the hardcore review and editing/mixing of the session on my Mac Pro. I tried moving the project file as well as the contents of the "Edited Media", "Recordings" and "Temporary Files" (found in the "Documents" folder) to the Mac Pro, but STP keeps crashing. I can open the session fine on the laptop.
    Is there something I missed in the move? I moved everything to the same/correct folders on the Mac Pro and both machines are running STP version 2.0.2.
    FYI: The laptop is running 10.5.6, but the Mac Pro (for arcane reasons I won't bore you with) is currently at 10.4.11.
    Any ideas or advice would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!
    Best,
    Patrick

    Hello MacEnstien
    I read your response to the previous question. And I have a similar problem. When I did the "Save As" I collected the files. Dropped them onto my external drive and dumped them on my laptop. And on my laptop when I open the project everything works but I can't see the video clip? What should I do?

  • Help! Moved a project from laptop to desktop files are missing

    hi,
    sorry I am a premiere elements 7 newbie.
    I started my project on my laptop but unfortunately it hadn´t enough space and was not aible to work with the data flow. i bought a desktop and made the mistake that I only copied the "premiere elements project" the document..........
    then I organised the new pc and so on...opened the project but all my files (audio, pictures and videos) were missing.
    can someone help me what to do? I don´t want to do it again...........
    please note that I saved the documents (songs, pictures and avi) from different places on the laptop.
    thank you so much

    Sabine,
    The Project file (.PREL) is just an XML database and contains none of the media, only links to where that media was, when it was Imported into PrE, plus instructions on what you did, as you edited in PrE.
    Now, when one moves either a Project, or the media (your Assets) is to break those links. PrE goes looking, per the Path in the .PREL file. Unless the files are in that exact Path, it will throw up an error message, basicly saying, "help, I canno find these files." One has several choices at that point. One is to help PrE find the files, where they are now. Depending on the folder structure, if you help it find the first one that it's asking for, it'll automaticlaly link to all others in that folder, that it needs. If it then asks for another file, the chances are great that that file will be, maybe in a sub-folder. After that one is linked, it'll gather any that it needs in that sub-folder. This is repeated until all Assets have been found and linked. It could be find the first and all get linked or search around the sub-folders. This part just depends on the folder structure.
    Another choice is to choose Media Off-line. What this does is allow one to edit with any Assets that are found, and just show all others as Off-line. Here comes a big warning. If, after choosing Media Off-line (actual syntax for all unfound media would be "Off-line All."), you chose to Save, and your original Project file is overwritten, you will now have to manually locate all Assets to get them relinked. If I were going to do any off-line editing, I'd always do a Save_As, or a Save_As_a_Copy and NOT a Save. As mentioned, if you do a Save, then you have to go in and manually relink all Assest, unlike the scenario in the second paragraph.
    Now, if you media is shown as off-line and you do not have an original copy of your .PREL Project file, you'll need to go to the Project Panel. Your Assest will have a different icon, than before and the media will show as off-line. Rt-click on each one and choose Relink Media. Now, navigate to the new locations for that file and choose it to relink. I believe that this is the same in PrE, but that is the list of steps for PrPro. One must do this for each Asset, that you wish to bring back online. This method does take a lot of work, especially for large Projects with lots of Assets.
    As Kodebuster says, copying over your Assets entire folder structure to the second machine and then helping PrE find the first file (and any additionals that are in sub-folders) is the best way to do this.
    Again, remember that the .PREL file contains no media, just links to where PrE last saw those files.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Moving entire project from one comp. to another

    All of My work is on My mac pro, Basement studio. I purchased the I Mac for My 2nd floor office. I loaded logic 9 into it. I wont really be doing any final mixing on the I mac due to the speakers or headphones. But more just to experiment and learn the more complex operations of logic which would = less dumb questions for you guys. So My question is how do I copy and move the whole song project automation, etc. I have no 3rd party plugins. Oh and My wife wont break my chops as much being gone for hours in the basement!! Thanks in advance, Bill

    You save your project *Including Assets* to it's project folder.
    http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=43%26se ction=11%26tasks=true
    ...and now you can copy the whole project folder onto a thumb drive and transport it to the other Mac.
    ...on the other hand, your wife could just join you in the basement...

  • Moving a project from one library to another

    I created a new library for my 2013 photos and imported some photos from my camera. In my previous library (last year's photos), is a project for January 2013 PhotoStream pictures, and I'd like that in my new 2013 library. How can I do this? I have the most current version of Aperture.

    The size of the library is not critical for the overall performance. You may notice a little reduce in speed, if the projects are gigantic. I would not put thousands of images into one single project.
    But it is more important to keep plenty of free disk space on your system drive, and to have the Aperture library on a fast drive with a fast connection. Also fix your Aperture library by repairing it, if you had a crash or you force quit Aperture.
    If Aperture is slow, try to find out, what it is doing by looking at the Activity window (Window > Show Activity). There you can see, if Aperture is processing previews, scanning for faces, etc. Sometimes Aperture is processing the same image over and over again. If you see this happen, remove the the image from the library. Probably it is corrupted.

  • Moving a project from FCP 10.0 to 10.1

    Was just asked to colour grade a 2 hour show edited in the earlier FCPX 10.01 (Brazil).  I want to import that whole project into FCPX 10.1.1.
    Where might I find the particular protocol (or maybe a tutorial even) for importing the earlier version project to the latest version of FCPX 10.1.1?
    Any suggestions would be most appreciated,
    Ben

    This is VERY good advice Russ, thank you.  The editor was bouncing back and forth between two version of FCPX, and was very confused about where things were ending up on her drives.  I plan to do some very careful research before messing with anything.
    I never worked with the earlier FCPX, so am not up on the protocol.  But I do remember that tutorial from Ashley Kennedy.  Which I'm going to watch most carefully before proceeding.
    And do a tidying job as you suggest.
    What I want to do first is make a copy of her entire project, move it somewhere safe, before proceeding.
    And then get rid of the 450 hours of shots she had to contend with, and all those sequences etc. that never made it into the film.  Dump them.  And just have the final film sequence to deal with.
    Thanks mucho...

  • Question about moving a project from FCP to Premiere to do color correcting/sound finalizing.

    My friend and i have been editing a film on FCP express. I've been learning more about editing and color correcting recently and have been teaching myself on  Adobe Premiere. I offered to color correct the film on Premiere on my system. I'm curious what the best way to do this would be. is it possible to take the timeline from FCB with the raw data and somehow open that in CS? Or should he export the pre corrected final cut without correcting as a certain type of file, then I work on that, then export that as the final cut?

    If FCP express has XML export, then you can export the project and then import the XML into Premiere Pro.  It will give you the basics of the timeline and basic transforms for each clip (position, scale, rotation).  However, not everything comes across - titles and 3rd party effects will not come across.
    Given that, another option is to render out the entire movie and then grade it in Premiere Pro.  But you lose a lot of control if you go that way.
    The third option is to import into Premiere Pro and rebuild the bits you might be missing from FCP and then you have both the control and options.
    Hope this helps,

  • Moving a project from one mac to another & fonts

    iMovie is so easy to use but I have struck two snags...
    I'm working on a video on my iMac but want to also be able to work on it on my iBook. Is this possible and if so, what files do I have to move around?
    Also, I've installed a font (through font book), but it doesn't appear in my list of fonts for titles. Have I done something wrong?
    Thanks (this iMovie thing is totally addictive, isn't it?)

    Hi dawdle -
    I'm working on a video on my iMac but want to also be able to work on it on my iBook. Is this possible and if so, what files do I have to move around?
    You would need to transfer the whole project 'package'.
    To do that, you can use Target Disk Mode, where both computers are linked via firewire. BUT the problem here is that you are then working on a copy of your iMac's original. This would obviously cause big problems!
    The best solution would be to store your project on an external drive, which then can be connected to either computer.

  • Moving my project from PC to Mac for future editing on the Mac.

    I have created a project on adobe premiere elements 12 on my PC and need to move the project across to my new Mac for future editing. Is this possible and if so how can I do it?

    SharpFX
    As John Nash points out, project files (project.prel files) created in Premiere Elements Windows will not work in Premiere Elements Mac and vice versa.
    Projects taken to completion in the program/operating system in which they are created is the way to go.
    If at all practical and depending on the "need to do" feature, you might export the Premiere Elements Windows Timeline to a .mov or .mp4
    file and then import that into a new Premiere Elements Mac project. The level of edits in Premiere Elements Mac would dictate the degree of cutting of the Timeline content in order to accomplish the wanted edits in Premiere Elements Mac.

  • Moving a project from Premiere Elements

    I have just created -- successfully, for the most part -- a nice video in
    Premiere Elements, commemorating my daughter's bat mitzvah, with two camera
    angles, creative integration of many still images, and multiple audio
    tracks. I was pleased with how smoothly it went...until it came time to burn
    the DVD.
    At that point, I found a disappointingly small number of layout choices and
    virtually no ability to customize the ones that were there. I don't need a
    template; I just want to be able to choose a background image and round up
    the DVD markers that I carefully inserted. That modest desire appears
    outside of the range of the program's templates.
    Turning my attention to Encore, it appears as if this is the app that I
    should have turned to for DVD creation in the first place. Before I traverse
    this program's learning curve, I need to know if it will be able to start
    with my PREL file, including the DVD markers that I created.
    Thanks...

    You won't be able to import the Premiere Elements file.
    What you will need to do is export the video file as you have edited it f5rom Premiere as either a movie file, or (if Premiere Elements has the option) an MPEG-2 file where the sequence markers you have created will turn into chapter markers.
    However, I would personally recommend using the export as an AVCI type movie even if Prem El does support direct to MPEG-2.
    This is for a couple of pretty good reasons:
    1 - when you import an AVI file into Encore, you get precise control over exactly where the chapter points go. With MPEG-2 files, you do not have as much control.
    2 - And this is the most important reason - it saves you having to do a "bit budget" & work out just how much bitrate you need to assign to the video so that it fits onto the DVD.
    Encore will take care of this automatically, and it does a pretty good job of it.

  • How do I move a project from an external drive back into Imovie

    I recently bought an Iomega external hard drive to store documentary movies so that I wouldn't jam up my Imac's free space. However, after I moved an imovie/idvd project to it, and wanted to make changes, I could not move the project back into the Imac's drive. (It also would not burn from the external, giving me a multiplex error) When I tried to move the movie back into Imovie on the Imac it said Quicktime couldn't parse it. I saw various posts about parsing, but not about specifically about moving a project from an external drive. Can anyone offer any suggestions? It seems to me that I should be able to move a project back and forth without that much trouble.

    Sounds like you have a DVD format (MPEG-2) and not an iMovie Project file.
    The key phrases are "multiplex" and "parse". Both suggest MPEG-2 format when opened in QuickTime. It would also throw an error -2048 message if MPEG-2.
    But another issue could be the file format of the external drive. Most ship pre-formatted for the Windows OS's but a Mac user should format using HFS+ (and others). If you didn't format the drive before moving the large iMovie Project onto it it may have become severely fragmented if the external used FAT 16 or FAT 32 (very common) formats. They have a 2 or 4 GB file size limit, respectively and would have made your Project unreadable when moved back and forth.
    Use the Disk Utility app to find out the format of your external drive.
