Moving project between Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro back and forth

We are buying new Macs to our studio. One will be main editing suite with Final Cut Studio 2.
Another Mac mini will have Final Cut Express.
I do understand that you cannot open your FCE project in FCS, but can you do it the other way around, using the Mac Mini as "offline suite"?

OK, so far, soo good. But can I open a FCP project in FCE?
(Scenario: I start working in FCE, continue in FCP and return to FCE).
I understand if some effects, etc won't show up in FCE.

Intel Macs & G5s: Problems when moving projects between them

An earlier post* suggesting complete compatibility between the latest FCP in a G5 and in an Intel Mac may be in error.
We are experiencing continuing crashes using our Intel Mac when we work on projects that were originally either imported or partially rendered in the G5.
It has gotten to the point where we feel we must keep projects completely isolated from each other: Either it is a "G5 project" or it is an "Intel Mac" project. Moving projects back and forth between the two leads to problems such as:
The Intel Mac does not recognize any renders done in the G5...
The Intel Mac crashes when rendering 'G5' projects...
The Intel mac crashes when compressor goes to work to export sequences to mpeg...
The G5 works fine with Intel Mac-originated material: It is only in the Intel Mac where we have these problems.
Both systems are up-to-the minute on their OS, security updates, and FCP versions. We are using variously 720p/30 from the JVC GY-100UA and 1080i/30 from the Sony Z1U.
Our questions are:
Is anyone else experiencing similar problems moving projects between a G5 and an Intel Mac?
Is anyone moving projects between the two platforms and experiencing NO problems at all? That information would be just as valuable, and very welcome.
Apple FCP development team: Is our experience unique or have you had other reports like this? Any idea what could be causing our problems -- and what we can do to fix them?

Scott,
Welcome to the discussions!
I have had no problems moving my G5 projects over to my MP.
You can not move render files between machines.
When you changed systems, did you use Migration Assistant to transfer your files over to your new Mac Pro? You might need to install from the disks in order to achieve native Intel performance. See if you installed Final Cut 5.1 on your G5 then it installed the PPC code... if you put that drive into your Mac Pro or used Migration Assistant to move the app over it is still the PPC code... When you install from the installation disk, Installer determines what system you are installing on (PPC or Intel) and that's what it installs. This goes for all of your "Universal Binary" apps...
In the System Profiler app. under Software/Applications
Final Cut Pro "kind" should be Universal on your MP.
The FCP development team do not read these posts, only users do.

Exporting from Final Cut Pro back to DV tape

Is it possible to export a project done in Final Cut Pro back to mini DV tape? I need to do it in order to put in on a Windows machine at school. Or, is there a way to export it so I can import it into a Windows machine to use with Final Cut Pro? Thank you.

Is it possible to export a project done in Final Cut Pro back to mini DV tape? I need to do it in order to put in on a Windows machine at school.
Yes,
- hook up your camera to the computer via firewire
- put the camera in VTR mode
- push RECORD on the camera
- play the timeline
- STOP recording when the sequence is complete
- your material is now on the tape.
Gotchas ...Make sure you have set the display and the audio to be sent out firewire to the external monitor (aka your camera).
For an alternative to the process described above, read the manual section on "Print to Tape".
Once at school, your windows machine needs the ability to capture video material.
Or, is there a way to export it so I can import it into a Windows machine to use with Final Cut Pro?
Final Cut Pro does not run on a Windows machine. I don't understand your question.
good luck.

Any software differences between new airport express and extreme?

I was wondering if there are any features or configuration differences between the two, such as configuring VPN passthrough.
The only difference I can see is using the USB for hard drive use.
Also, do you think the performance will be similar. I know the time capsule actually rated slower than the extreme even though they use similar hardware.

You can find all the differences between the AirPort Express and Extreme in this website > http://www.apple.com/compare-wifi-models/

Codec missing and moving projects between different computers

Hi,
Im a real rookie when it comes to premiere... and i have 2 problems.
First off i just want to know the best way to move a project between two computers... Usually when i move the folder and try open it all the links to the different movie files dont work, so i have to go through and select each one manually. There must be a way to get around this...
Second off i have a problem with importing my mac mov (i used iMovie to move the files from the video camera, which is a Sony HDR-HC3) files into premiere on the pc, it claims the codecs are missing. I have installed quicktime on the pc and i can play the movies fine, but they wont import into premiere because of the missing codec. Why?

FAQ:How do I transfer a project from one computer to another?

Moving projects between external hard drives lose clips

Sorry for the unclear subject line, but I really can't think of a quippy way to say what the problem is.
Short version--I moved project from external hard drive A to external hard drive B. Worked on A. Worked on B. Moved it back to A (still have copy on B). No longer works on A. Clips show up in the timeline, but on screen is white. Transitions, titles, audio don't work. Still works on B.
Ideas?
Long version--I'm using 10.3.9 on my old Powerbook. iMovie 6.0.3. I am using Lacie Porsche 250GB external and a Mercury Elite Pro 500 GB hard drives. When I started, the Lacie, which I was using for my speaking career videos, was NOT formatted for Mac OS Extended (Journaled). So, while working on another project, I had issues with the infamous Ken Burns bug with pictures.
After consulting with the experts here (thanks Karl), I determined that I must reformat. So, pain and anguish, I moved the various movies off of the Lacie (Drive A) to the Mercury (Drive B). On both, the movies worked fine--all transitions, everything. The Mercury was and is Mac OS Extended (but NOT Journaled).
So, I wipe the Lacie with Disk Utility so it is Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Once finished, I begin the process of moving projects (3 in total) back to the Lacie. Two of the projects are completed works with transitions, audio file, titles and the like. One is just clips in the clip pane, none in the timeline. I moved them all at once.
When I did, I checked them before I would delete them off the Mercury. When I did, both of the completed projects loaded properly--the clips do show in the timeline. But, in the preview window, all I have is a blank white screen. When I play, nothing happens.
I have not erased anything, changed anything, thrown anything away--nothing. And, they still work perfectly on the Mercury (same computer, obviously).
This one really has me stumped. I am really irked that iMovie has apparently become such a messed up program. Worse, this has been out for some time now (I had not used it yet, but I got iLife last year some time). I can't believe there are all these issues all this time later and obviously Apple has done nothing or little to correct these problems. I consider iMovie a real flagship program to model the ease of use and blah blah blah that we all know concerning Apple.
OK, sorry for venting---anyone with any ideas? Did I mess up the drive when I wiped it? Is this merely the program? Something between the fact that the Mercury is NOT Journalled? Any help will, as always, be appreciated.

Thanks David---
The Permissions are the same for both, on both hard drives.
I have not repaired permissions on either.
I did shut down the computer last night and this AM, upon starting again, had the same problem.
I did attempt a few fixes--I moved the clips from the timeline back to the preview pane. I had one clip already there and it would play perfectly. When I did that, with a clip from the timeline and then moved it back, it would show up and play. But, upon hitting the next clip, it would stop playing at the first transition.
Some of the transitions are from a Third Party (Gee). Remember, though, they played perfectly fine from Drive B. I have not attempted, however, to put the Gee effects into iMovie 6. As I said earlier, I haven't used the program on my computer since the Fall. Now, using 6.0.3, I don't see my GeeThree effects anywhere, nor have I tried to put them in. But, from the Drive B (and originally in the drive A), the movie plays fine even though the added clips are not present for me to use in any new project.

How to switch between SQL Server Express and SQL Server Evaluation

I have both SQL Server Express and SQL Server Evaluation installed on my laptop.
I am wondering how to start SQL Server Evaluation; when I click All Programs > SQL Server Management Studio, I always get SQL Server Express (which I installed on my laptop a couple years ago).
I just downloaded SQL Server Evaluation (a couple days ago).
Whenever I try to access SQL Server Evaluation, I always seem to get SQL Server Express.
Sorry if this is a trivial thing; I just can’t seem to get it to work (and I Googled for a solution before posting this).
Thanks everyone!!

Ah! It worked!! This is great!! It seems like I can connect to my version of SQL Server Evaluation, named 'EXCEL-PC\EXCEL'.
Somehow, though, I seem to keep getting errors in my BIDS when I try to run an SSIS project. See below:
Ah! It worked!! This is great!! It seems like I can connect to my version of SQL Server Evaluation, named 'EXCEL-PC\EXCEL'.
I am getting an error that VS is unable to load a document:
BIDS has to be installed by one of these editions of SQL Server 2008: Standard, Enterprise, Developer, or Evaluation.
To install BIDS, run SQL Server Setup and select Business Intelligence Development Studio.
#1) I recently downloaded and installed SQL Server Evaluation (specifically for the opportunity to try using BIDS and learn about this technology).
#2) When I run BIDS > SSIS, I get the error I described above.
#3) I have had SQL Server Express installed for a couple years on my laptop
So, my question is this: is it possible that BIDS > SSIS is picking up my SQL Server Express, instead of SQL Server Evaluation?
If so, how can I get BIDS to point to SQL Server Evaluation?
You can see in the image above that I have my BIDS Data Connections pointing to EXCEL-PC\EXCEL, which is the name of my SQL Server Evaluation.
Is this correct? Why doesn’t this work?
I’ve spent some considerable time on this. I’m close to just uninstalling EVERYTHING pertaining to SLQ Server, and just reinstalling SQL Server Evaluation, but this will take some time, and I don’t necessarily want
to get rid of my SQL Server Express. However, if that’s the only way to get this working, then that’s what I’ll do.
I’d greatly appreciate any insight into this!!

Is is possible to use a netgear wireless router to share a cable internet connection between an airport express and a Sony BD player?

Hi,
I have a couple of netgear wireless routers (WGR614, WPN824 v3) as well as a Belkin wireless router (F5D8233-4v3) lying around, and was wondering if it is possible to use any of these to share the internet feed from a cable modem to both an airport express and a Sony Blu-Ray Player? I connected the WPN824 router between the cable modem and the airport express but the airport express will only give an orange light then as if it does not have internet access. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Many thanks.

What you are basically attempting to do is extend the Belkin router with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) via a wireless connection between them. This method is known as a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). Unfortunately, WDS is not a standard and router manufacturers implemented, in most part, to only work with their products ... so it will be very unlikely that you can create a WDS between your Belkin and the AX. There have been a few Belkin model that have been updated by third-party firmware that support WDS, but the models you listed are not any of them.

Moving Project from Final Cut Pro X Trial to full program

Im currently running a trial copy of FCP X and will likely buy it. Once I've purchased a copy from the app store, does it recognise the trial version and make that a full version or is it a seperate app (as I suspect).
If its the second one as Im guessing it will be, is there an easy way to transfer a project from the trial version into the main app.
Apologies if this sounds like a dumb question, but I need to know the answer

Sorry I've found an answer to this on another post, I did try and search for it but it only appeared when this one was posted!
Can't find a way to delete this, but thanks in advance if you were about to help.

Moving projects between laptop and PC

We have a server in the home where all the photo's are stored. My wife wants to be able to tag and manipulate the photo's on the server but also wants to be able to take her lap top outside of the home and show people whats she's working on.
What is the best way to do this to maintain a sync between laptop work and server work?
Does she need to move EVERYTHING off the server into her lap top then move it back when she is done working on it away from home? That seems time intensive and makes me nervous if she is rewriting over the contents on the server.
Or can she only move the current "project" however that is defined in elements to her computer and only that portion would be updated on the server when she got back home? My primary concern is that the server copy remains relatively error free and there are no mistakes that would wipe out years of photo's. Although the server has redundancy if the mistake wasnt noticed and the server ran it's backup routine I would not be able to roll back changes.
Perhaps getting her an external hard drive to carry around with a copy of all the pictures on it then having her just back up that hard drive to the server is a good answer but I don't know if there is an easier solution.
Thanks for any help,
Elements noob

There is a simple solution:
It seems to me that when your wife is showing the photos on her notebook, the tags are completely irrelevant -- it's only the photos that matter.
She can keep a copy of the photos on her notebook and show or edit them there, then simply upload any changed photos to the server.

Combining libraries or moving projects between them...

Until the new Aperture, it was just easier to have different libraries, but I think some of those little ones can and should be combined into a 'new' Aperture Library that I can work with easily. For instance, one of my libraries is only 700mb . . what's the best way or safest way to move that library's contents [it's only one project] from Library A to a different library, and combine the two libraries in effect.
Should I just open Library A, select a project and export the project? I assume I'd want to export 100%, masters, versions and metadata or woudl that do it automatically? Thanks.

Projects are completely self contained.
So just open the library you're migrating from, select the project, and then from the file menu, select "export project". Then change libraries (you'll have to stop/restart Aperture), and select "import project", select it, and you're done. It's quite easy.
I do this all the time... I have separate Aperture libraries on my MacBook and my G5 Quad. I travel with the MacBook, and can do edits in the field. When I get back to the office, I just export the project from the MacBook, and import the exported project to my G5 over AFP. Works like a peach... all edits/changes/... are intact. And that includes the previews that I generated on the MacBook for a slide show that exhibited a bug related to previews

InterVlan Trunking between Catalyst 500 Express and Router 1841

Hello,
I am currently attempting to configure 2 VLANs on a Router 1841 and allow them to communication with my Catalyst 500 Express switch. The Router Setup is simple
its 3 Sub-ints on the FE0/0 interface.
interface FastEthernet0/0
description $ETH-LAN$$ETH-SW-LAUNCH$$INTF-INFO-FE 0$
no ip address
duplex auto
speed auto
interface FastEthernet0/0.1
description *** ADMINISTERING VLAN ***
encapsulation dot1Q 1 native
ip address 10.19.1.1 255.255.255.0
interface FastEthernet0/0.2
description *** DATA VLAN ***
encapsulation dot1Q 2
ip address 10.19.2.1 255.255.255.0

description *** VOICE VLAN ***
encapsulation dot1Q 3
ip address 10.19.3.1 255.255.255.0
ip helper-address 10.19.2.2
FE 0/0 Port on the Router is connected to port 24 on my Catalyst. I set the Smartport on port 24 of the Catalyst to be Router for trunking purposes
I get a notification error on the Catalyst saying "Undersized frames detected from the connected device" (which is my ROUTER).
does anyone have a suggestion? Or Is it supported this scenario?
Thanks,
Eduardo

I had the same issue when I was working on CE500s and a WLC.
In the CE500 Device Manager, go to Configure->VLANs
Create your VLAN 2 and 3.
Then go back to smartports, click customize, and verify that VLAN-1 is default (native).
Sending information through a port on the CE500 that it is not expecting will set alerts in the log.
Hope this helps.
