Moving Project Folders

Good Day-
Does anyone move project folders around or is it recommended to leave them in the Music>Logic folder?
I read:
+Copying or Moving a Project Folder+
+A project folder can be freely moved or copied to another location by using any of the+
+standard operating system methods. This is great for archiving and transport of+
+projects to other studios or facilities.+
+All files in the target (copy) folder will still be found correctly, provided that they are all+
+in the root (or sub-folders of ) the project folder—audio files are found in the Audio+
+Files sub-folder, samples in the Samples sub-folder, sampler instruments in the Sampler+
+Instruments sub-folder, and so on.+
Yet...if I drag a project folder from Music>Logic to my desktop, the audio and MIDI files of the project will not be able to be found upon opening that project from the desktop. The subfiles still appear to be rooted in the main project folder. For now I'm certainly not moving any more projects around, but I should be able to correct?
Thanks!

OK.
If I want to save a newly created project to the desktop instead of the Logic folder, then I could save as, or save a copy as, check the appropriate boxes to include files etc. and choose desktop. Would I need to group files in the audio bin and consolidate first before this saving, or after I've saved when I open it next?
Thank you-

  • Are the iMovie Events and iMovie Projects folders needed?

    I'm using version 10.0.6 of iMovie and moved some of my projects to an external HD using File > Move Events to Library.  I noticed in my Movies folder in my home directory that the related project folders under iMovie Events and iMovie Projects weren't moved.  It seems that these are left over after upgrading iMovie and that it just uses the iMovie Library and iMovie Theater bundles.  Can the iMovie Events and iMovie Projects folders be safely deleted?

    Yes they can be deleted if you have moved all the projects you want to work further on to iMovie 10, have checked that they are working OK, and are happy with switching permanently to iMovie 10.  (There's no going back).
    On the other hand if you leave them you can still use the earlier version of iMovie.

  • Organizing for stock library. Projects, folders or albums?

    This may have been talked about to death, but I cannot find a thread that fits my question.
    I have a growing library of images in Aperture. I am also a stock photographer by living. My library in Aperture is somewhat haphazard and I'm trying to organize it so that I can have it make sense. I do not sell my photos as stock myself (I submit to several agencies) so I'm not sure that I need to file my images so that I can get to them if a client needs a shot. That's what the agencies are for.
    My work flow is something like this:
    1 - shoot pix
    2 - import and edit (read: delete) images in Aperture
    3 - prepare and submit images to agencies
    4 - next....
    I do find myself taking pix of many of the same subjects, so I do want to organize them in Aperture.
    My main question is, what is the best, or most efficient, way to organize major subjects in the library, with Projects, Folders, or Albums?
    For instance, I shoot a production with models. That could be a project titled " August 14 production." When the submission is done, i could archive the entire project to save space. But, suppose I want to keep some around to submit to a different agency. Is a project the best way to store this?
    Also, I find myself shooting a lot of NYC landmarks. Should each landmark be in its own project, or have it be an album in a project called NYC, or should it be a project in a folder called NYC?
    I'm really not sure what the most efficient filing method is for my business.
    Any discussion and/or advice is GREATLY APPRECIATED!

    gustavus:
    n attempting to relocate a folder it did not end up where intended and I cannot find it.
    I hope you are referring to doing the relocation from within iPhoto and not in the Finder and the library package. Any moving, renaming of files and/or folder inside the iPhoto Library Package while in the Finder is tantamount to the cardinal sin of iPhoto, Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder. That will mess up your library to where you may have to start over with a new library.
    Can you describe where these folders and albums were located when you were moving them?
    Do you Twango?
    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.

  • FC Events & Projects folders on external HD, and some clips missing.

    Hello there,
    Searched for an answer, but nothing seems to be exactly my experience.
    To help my MBP perform better, I moved my FCP X "events" & "projects" folders to an external LaCie HD. Folks here say they should be at the "root". Unsure how to check that, but I do know they are at the lowest level of folder on the drive, with no other folders above them.
    Most clips show up in all the projects when FCP X is opened. But some don't; modifying event references with Inspector leads to the event not showing up at all, so I can't even move it to the top.
    Then tried to "import from camera" and open the LaCie drive as an archive. But when clicking on the proper event folder, the message appears, ""Intrvw-WendyEllen_20Jun11" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media."
    Original media files on HD are all still there from when I first imported into FCP X. Now the same files are duplicated in the FCP X "events" folder, which also got moved to the external HD. Choosing either folder gets the same message.
    According to the manual, the yellow alert triangle showing in the timeline means the event is missing.
    <complaint> FCP X isn't very intuitive or user friendly on directing it to see the proper files. If something is missing, why can't I just pick where FCP should look for those files? Why can't I recreate a new path to those files, of the original one was broken? I'm not keen on the Events & Projects folders _having_ to be _set in stone_ on the MBP's harddrive. Where those files lie should be a choice.</complaint>
    My system is 2.2GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM w/ Mac OS X 10.6.8. 
    Please let me know what I'm missing that FCP can no longer find the proper files. I'm sure it's something super easy, too obvious to figure out. In fact, if there's a way to ditch the "events' folder altogether & just have FCP X pull/render from the external HD files all the time, I'd love to learn that solution.
    Thanks in advance!

    You are correct about root ... no other folders above the FCP X folders is the way it's supposed to be.  I noticed that FCP X can get confused if you first opened up or created a project with the Final Cut Pro folders on your system drive then you try to make a copy of them on an external drive.  That is what I did at first also.  I would recommend moving your system drive Final Cut Pro X folders to a safe backup drive such as usb, etc then ejecting that drive.  Make sure they no longer exist on the system drive.  Then go to your external drive where you first copied them to and go into the Final Cut Projects folder. Then go into a folder that has the name of your project, or if you created "Folders" in FCP X to put your projects in then go into the folder that has the name of the folder you created within FCP X.  Within one of those will be a folder named after your project name you had assigned it in FCP X.  Inside that will be a file called CurrentVersion.fcpproject. Double click on that file, and Final Cut Project X will open with that project. In your Project Library window on the lower half of the display, over against the left you will see Macintosh HD, or whatever your system drive is called.  Under that will be the name of your external drive. Indented to the right slightly under your external drive will be the name of the project you have just loaded.  Just keep working in that one from now on without moving the old FCP X folders backing onto the system drive.  If you get some clips that are red meaning that FCP X can no longer find them, copy them from your original system drive or the Final Cut Events folder to the event name you had placed them in when you imported them into your project.  You can also simply find them and re-import them into FCP X and be done with it.  It has been my observation that you do not want to have two Final Cut Project or Events (or any of the other) FCP X folders on two drives that are active at the same time.  Best practice is to leave them off your system drive and put them on an external Firewire drive.  If you need to make a backup of them periodically, put a usb drive or another Firewire drive on your system WITHOUT GOING INTO FINAL CUT PRO X, and use Finder to simply copy the folders to the other drives as a backup ... then eject the backups.  You can then continue working in FCP X.  Sounds detailed, but the bottom line is FCP X does not seem to like two FCP X file systems on two attached drives at the same time.  At least that's the way it has seemed in my experience.  Hope this helps.

  • Titles don't show after moving project

    Anyone got any ideas?  I created a slideshow in PE7 with titles.  Worked fine and I rendered it to a WMV file.  I then moved the project to a different PC (same OS and version of PE) by copying the raw footage, the project folders and prel file.  The project opens fine on the new PC and behaves normally in all respects except that the titles are not visible when playing the slideshow within PE.  They are there on the second video track as well as the asset list and can be moved and edited normally.  While in edit mode (double click the title), they show superimposed over the slide as expected, but as soon as I drop out of edit mode and play the slideshow, they go invisible again.  Video level in the titles is at 100%.
    A second project (video instead of a slide show) was also moved at the same time and in the same way.  It also incorporates titles and they ARE visible when the project is played in PE.
    Did I perhaps miss copying a file that is not stored with the rest of the project?

    PS:  What is with the "points" system?  When I created this post I was asked if it was a question.  Since it was, I said YES.  Then I saw when I posted it that I get one correct answer for 10 points or two helpful answers for 5 points.  Huh?  Or is it the other way around... I can GIVE 10 points for a correct answer?  Did I miss the "rules" somewhere?  Or are the points meaningless and I should just ignore them?
    Note that it said I had 15 minutes to unmark the post as a question, but I can't find anywhere to do that.  No, wait.... I found it and un-marked it.  Turns out that part of the verbiage that said I had 15 minutes to unmark the post as a question was a non-underlined link.  Not visible as a link unless you hover over it.  Un-marking the post as a question doesn't seem to have done anyting to the post..... so what is the point of the points?
    Not liking the new and "improved" forum much yet.  Too slow and too confusing.
    Message was edited by: paulgoelz

    Hmmmm.... I was not aware that titles could be enabled or disabled.  I'll have to look.  That would certainly fit the symptoms.
    If by opacity you mean the video level line, yes it is at 100%.
    As for exporting titles, there are quire a few.... too cumbersome to one at a time.
    FWIW, I had this typed up before lunch but when I posted it, the process froze.  I finally gave up and closed the browser and went to lunch.  Fortunately, I have gotten in the habit of hitting <CTL> C before posting so after lunch I was able to paste the text into a new reply window.  Let's see if it works this time......
    I appreciate that this forum is here but I have to say that I don't read it anywhere near as often as I used to because it is so painfully slow.  I still think it is a Java thing.... when it is slow and unresponsive, CPU is maxed out.  Definitely not acceptable for a page that is after all mostly static text.  But I have to say that is par for the course in my experience with PE.  Sorry, I just could NOT resist.....
    No on the points... I unmarked it as a question thinking (falsely, it turns out) that there might be a points "budget" and I was only allowed so many.  I have seen that on other support forums.
    Maybe I'll go to a lesser used forum and create a second identity and then answer my own questions and rack up points.  How silly.

  • Project folders will not delete

    I was moving some custom project folders around in the
    Project Manager. Most of my folders moved just fine but for some
    reason I have a couple of folders (a folder and subfolder) would
    not move so I had to create a new folder in the correct destination
    and move the topics individually. That worked fine but now that
    subfolder (where the topics were moved from) along with the folder
    it is contained in does not have a delete option. However, other
    folders and topics do. Why can I not delete this folder and
    subfolder and is there a way that I delete it out of my Project
    Manager. They are empty (when checking Windows Explorer) except for
    the (foldername).fpj file in each. NOTE: I am not using version
    control. This project in on my local computer.

    Okay. As far as your first suggestion of running a Topic
    Properties report ... what would I run this report on when there
    aren't any topics in the folders I want removed? I went to your
    second suggestion of checking in the RH explorer and did find an
    image file in the folder I want removed but I can't do anything
    with it. There is no delete option when selecting the image. There
    is no way to drag it out of the folder and place it somewhere else.
    What do I do with this?

  • Help - moved itunes folders to external drive and now my itunes is totally

    A few months ago, in order to free up space on my c drive, i had to purchase an external drive - everything i installed via itunes since that date has been on the hard drive and everything was fine.
    Last night i needed more room on my C drive so i stupidly moved the remaining itunes folders from my C drive to my F drive - unfortunately, when i opened itunes it was blank.
    i've tried a few things - including adding the folder from the F drive - and that retrieved about 80% of my music/videos and the last playlists i had - however, they were all missing songs - even if all the songs that should be included remained on my itunes
    i began the tedious process of manually adding files back in but soon realized this doesn't help itunes consider this the same ipod as what's still on my actual ipod.
    *What I'd like to do (if possible) is to wipe itunes clean and somehow restore everything on my ipod into itunes so that i retrieve not only the songs and videos but also the playlists that i've spent way too much time building. At this point i fear that the various components to my ipod are in too many files on my external drive to be easily restored another way (though if i'm wrong please let me know)*
    sadly (as this story might suggest) I am borderline computer illiterate - I've read a few posts suggesting some sort of software online (something the apple help line also made an "off the record" remark about) - but I can't for the life of me figure out which i would use or how to do this without risking the contents of my existing ipod (which has the playlists and songs/video I want to reestablish).
    *Can anyone possibly suggest how to best handle this and walk me through it in painstakingly basic and specific detail? I would be forever grateful.*
    Thanks

    iTunes uses the iTunes Library files - in particular the iTunes Library.itl file - to keep track of where your song files are located as well as playlist and related information.
    Most likely in moving your folders around iTunes has been confused to such an extent that it created a new Library file. With a bit of luck you might still be able to find the old file which would restore your old Library.
    So the first thing you want to do is look around your computer and make a note of any iTunes Library.itl files you can find. Generally speaking you'll find them in the iTunes folders on your system and depending on how you've been moving the folders - i.e. whether you "cut" them or "copied" them - you may still find at least one one on your F: drive and some on your C: drive.
    Having noted where they are you know want to check each of them out as described in this article in the Apple Knowledge Base. In following those instructions you want to select the Choose Library option and use the pop-up window that appears to zero in on the various .itl files you've located.
    Remember that each Library file will show a different Library in iTunes - perhaps slightly different, perhaps completely different - and if the first one isn't what you're looking for you'll have to close iTunes and repeat the procedure by selecting one of the other .itl's.
    Post back for any clarification.

  • HT200183 If I wanted to include apple loops in the assets of Logic project folders that are part of a tutorial available for download on a paid educational website would that be ok?

    If I wanted to include apple loops in the assets of Logic project folders that are part of a song that follows a tutorial available for download on a paid educational website would that be ok? No one would be paying for the file itself that's part of the membership. I don't want to get into any copyright problems. I understand that they are royalty free and you can include them in your music no problem but the individual loops would be in the audio folder if I saved all the assets to the project file.
    Also, would it be ok to include screen shots I take myself of apple programs in my downloadable content?
    Just trying to figure out exactly how I should go about it to avoid any legal issues.

    My gut reaction is that you may well run into © issues if you re-distribute the original AppleLoops.If your customers are paying for the training, they are also paying for the content you provide, so I feel that you would be re-selling the loops.
    Given that anyone who has a copy of Logic would likely have installed all the loop content, there should be no need to distribute them with the project files. Alternatively, make your own loops.

  • Exchange 2003 - 2010. Moving public folders one at a time

    Hi all,
    I'm in the process of decomisioning our old Exchange 2003 server (long overdue after what has been a relativly smooth and trouble free transition to 2010). As the first step in the decomisioning process, I'm looking to move the public folders from the 2003
    box to the 2010 box. From my understanding there are a couple of ways to achieve this (please correct me if I'm wrong). The first is to add the Exchange 2010 server as a new replication partner, allow for replication of the PFs to occur, and then remove the
    2003 partner from the replication partnership. The other option is to use MoveAllReplicas.ps1.
    I opted for the first option, but the problem I have is that the initial replication process started to generate a very large number of transaction logs on the Exchange 2010 server, to the point I was slightly conccerned I was going to run out of space on
    the volume (our server is backed up nightly at which point the transaction logs are normally flushed).Whilst I know I could potentially increase the size of the volume or turn on cicular logging for the duration of the migration (neither of which is appealing
    as it will involve down time), I was wondering if there was a way to move a smaller set of Public folders one at a time with a powershell command, or is it an all or nothing operation? My other option may be to replicate a small subset of folders everyday,
    but that just a little painful as there are a large number of child folders with in the structure. Any other suggestions welcome!
    Many thanks,
    Rob

    Hi,
    If your Public Folder Database is large, you can use tool like Exfolders or ESM to add replica folder by folder.

  • I moved the mobilesync path where my backups should be stored. However, since then I moved some folders around which I think is the source of my error. I can no longer backup my iphone. How do I fix this?

    A while ago, I moved the mobilesync path so that it would stop trying to backup onto my C drive. However, since then I moved some folders around which I think is the source of my error. I can no longer backup my iphone It just tells me that the backup is corrupted. When i go to preferences, devices, and look under backups it is empty. How do I fix this?

    Howdy there mjspace1994,
    It sounds like you are unable to backup your phone after moving the mobile sync folder from its default location. If moving it back manually does not resolve the issue, I would next use either of the following articles to remove iTunes from your computer and then re install it. The articles outline the proper order to remove them in, and step by step instructions:
    Remove and Reinstall iTunes and other software components from Windows XP
    Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • I use a browser application called Changepoint...a project time recording tool. It does not navigate to the project folders or interact at all using Firefox, only IE. What do I need to ask the tech team to troubleshoot why it doesn't work with Firefox?

    See question. I'm assuming that I or them are missing something with the handshake once the basic appl is launched. The Changepoint appl does launch in the browser...it just doesn't function when you get into it, e.g. clicking on a hyperlink on the screen doesn't launch a sub-appl/module to show project folders. It doesn't crash the browser or window, it just doesn't do anything.

    Check with Changepoint support and ask if that application is made to be compatible with Firefox, and which versions of Firefox it has been tested with.

  • Slow Moving Project Stock

    Hi,
    My problem is to find out slow moving project stocks. Report MC46 shows only slow moving normal stocks and project stock is not included in this.
    Thanks

    Hi Gaurav Shah,
    If you are procuring for project stock means, the material is for direct consumption.I think its not logical to see it in terms of "slow moving stock" category.
    Hope I am right and it will be useful and give you some insights.

  • Deleting Project Folders in X5

    Please Help.
    I'm using RH X5 with SVN as my source control software. I
    cannot delete top level project folders after I have created them.
    How can I delete them?
    Thank you.

    Thanks for your help. In another thread, Peter G. also
    suggested checking your local directory (outside of RH) to make
    sure there are no files in the folder you are trying to delete. To
    add, I found images that were still in the folder. I forgot to move
    them. Finally, Peter G. suggested to use the Unused Files report. I
    still have to try that.

  • Keeping Synced Backup of Library - In Project Folders

    Can't find a way to do this online - probably because I can't think of the right way to get any sensible results from a search.
    Basically, I have my Aperture library which is ~100GB (which is already backed up in a couple of places). I also want JPEG versions of everything in my library so I can keep a copy online (ideally via iDisk, part of MobileMe - but I can do that as a separate step if necessary), and want photos kept in their project folders.
    Any ideas how I can do that? Looks like i'll need a plugin or automator to do it, but there may be a function I've missed somewhere. Seems like it should be simple enough, but I'm struggling (bearing in mind I don't want a complete re-export each time, just export whatever was updated since the last export)...
    David

    Hi christian,
    For future reference, backup the entire iPhoto Library folder. You need all the data files in there for it to work correctly.
    For your situation now, there is no way to relink originals with the modified versions.
    You can manually go through the modified folder and see if you want the modified version of a photo instead of the original. If you do, drag the modified version into the same roll in the Originals folder and it will replace the original as they have the same name.
    Then create a new library and import just the Originals folder.

  • Moved Project To Knew Computer After Everything Is Named-Drive Formatting?

    Did search, and seems to be a common problem, but there are a little differences. In the past, when moving project, after starting, everything just showed up. This time, the red lines everywhere. Tried renaming file to clip and vice-versa, and nothing. Double-checked and have all the media. I thought the pathway pointers were imbedded, maybe not. Do have sub-clips. Did hear some talk about how the original media(P2 DV)is saved, can affect it. Was original saved to portable firewire drive that is Fat 32 to capture P2 in the field for Macbook pro. New media drive is extended. Any help is appreciated.

    Assuming that you have canvas and/or viewer set to "image" not "wireframe" the only thing I can say is that you double check again that you have the most updated version for Motion or a version that your FCP version would expect to connect with. I have seen other people experiencing this, the answer could be the awkward worst case scenario you want to avoid or simply an update inadvertently missed. Rather difficult to establish without investigating further within your actual workstation.
