Moving projects and relinking timelines CS4

I'm having a problem managing projects, specifically with linked sequences from Premiere to Encore. If I move the Premiere project to a new location, then open Encore, the linked timelines/sequences are offline, as would be expected. The problem is relinking to the new location, and I'm stumped.
The online help suggests to click on an asset, then choose locate asset from the File menu. This works for discrete files, but not for Premiere sequences, as there is no file to show up in the locate asset finder box. I tried just selecting the Premiere project file, but this doesn't seem to work. "Replace Asset" is not an active option either
The only solution I have so far is to make new dynamic links to the relocated sequences, but this involves redoing all the timeline chapter points.
Is there a solution to this?

Just to provide some more info -
When trying to relink to the Premiere sequence, I click on "locate asset". This opens a find box titled "locate asset - [name of premiere project].prproj . I then navigate to the project and double click. The error returned is always:
The selected After Effects project does not contain the missing AdobeDynamic link composition "[project name].prproj" .
This seems like a bug, as there is no AE project, it's a Premiere project. In any case, Encore cannot find the sequence again in this way. I have tried moving the 2 projects to the same folder, but this doesn't seem to help.

Moved Project and Event won't relink

I have sucessfully created an Event and a Project on my MacBookPro. I have now copied both the Event and the Project onto my MacPro workstation and tried to open it there.
That's where the strangeness starts.
All the clips in the Event are there, online, playable and editable.
In the Project's the timeline I can see all the clips updating their thumbnails correctly, but a minute or so into the timeline FCPX treats all the clips as "Missing Event".
When I rightclick+reveal in finder or rightclick+reveal in event browser the right clip gets opened, but in the viewer it still says "Missing Event"
When I shift+Z on said timeline to zoom it to fit the window it zooms out way too far, although there is no stray clip right of the 4 minute timeline.
It seems that somehow the event file got corrupted or something.
As a solution, I have copied all the clips of the event to a now event, removed the old one ond tried to relink the project to the new event. Still no cure. The first part of the timeline relinks, the rest updates the thumbnails, but clips still are "missing event"
Ideas, anyone?

How did you copy the Event and Project? (With Finder, or using FCP X)?
You should do this with FCP X.
When I shift+Z on said timeline to zoom it to fit the window it zooms out way too far, although there is no stray clip right of the 4 minute timeline.
When it zooms out too far, click on the (empty) timeline. Does anything get selected? If it does, it's probably a Gap Clip. Delete it.

Moving project and scratch files when finished?

Last question I have about this being new to premiere, is people keep telling me to use my internal drive as a scratch disk, I've decided to do so. However, when I finish a project, I want to move them off of there, but I also want the ability to move them back to there if I'm working on a project once again. Therefore I don't want to delete them and have to render new previews or anything else.
Is the best way to move this, to simply go up to project settings, and change the scratch disk location? Can I move the Cache by changing it's location as well instead of deleting it? And then when I want to work on the project a year later, can I open it up and change it back to my internal SSD and move it back and forth? Or is this a bad idea?
The main reason for this is I don't want my hard drive filled up that I have to do other things on, but I don't mind it using it while editing. I also don't want it going into my weekly time machine backups.

OSX 10.10.3, newest version of premiere, Projects go to 4tb USB 3.0 drive, Cache was going to 1tb USB 3.0 drive, then scratch disk was going to 250 SSD external usb 3.0 drive. However, the internal is fast. USB 3.0 read speeds are about 400 and write speeds are about 400 on the SSD. Internal both are around 800.
What I'm thinking about doing is using the internal SSD as a scratch disk as well as running the program. Keep project and cache the way they are. But when I'm done with the project, can I go into project settings, scratch disk and move it to the same drive the project is on? This is not to use it as a scratch disk, but allowing me to keep and store the files and clear the computer internal drive for the next project.
And if I go back a year later and want to work on the same project, put the scratch files back on the internet by going to the options and doing the same thing in reverse? Is this a good or bad idea?
I can't install a second SSD drive internally, as I am working from a MacBook Pro, it has a 750M 2GB GPU. i7 Quad core 2.6 processor. I'm using a thunderbolt display, as the 15" inch is too small for me to color grade correctly seeing both the tools and video.
If it's a big project, I open the macbook and use the macbook screen for my scopes and effects and the 27 inch for the video I'm editing.

Moving project and events and continue to edit

I'm working on a MBP, I have the project and events on that computers drive. I'm fast running out of space and therefore I would like to move project and events to external HDD and continue to work on project from the same computer MBP. What is the best method to achieve this?
I know I can move the project and referenced events but will I be able to continue to work on the project unhindered.
Thanks
Jeff

One more question, if I move another project that uses the same events folder, how would I go about that? Do I choose just move project? Or do I again choose move with referenced events? Would that duplicate the events folder?

Moving projects and events from FCPX to server

Bear with me here...I'm a new FCPX user as far as file management is concerned.
I have several projects and events sitting at the root level of FCPX when I open it. It's completely bogging down my system (whether FCPX is open or not) and I understand I need to archive the projects I'm done with. I have access to a server that also houses all of my original footage so I'd like to archive my projects/events to there and delete them from my local hard drive so that my computer is lightning fast again.
When I go to File > Move Project the location pull-down menu only has one option: No Value and doesn't allow me to pick where to move the files to. Error Message reads: "You don't have permission to write files to the choosen destination."
When I go to File > Duplicate Project, I choose Project + Used Clips (I have all of my original and Pro-Res footage on the server already, no need to copy them again, right?) it creates a new "Clips for [project name here]" folder in the Final Cut Projects folder in my Movies folder on my hard drive. It seems like there's a lot less content in this "Clips for" folder than in the original and it makes me nervous, but I understand that since I'm only checking "Project + Used Clips" there is bound to be less content than ALL of the clips I originally had in my event when I was editing and wanted access to all of my footage.
1. Is this all I need to drag onto the server? When I go to open the project in the future from the server will it have "broken links"?
2. Can I then delete the original project folder from my hard drive?
3. Do I need to check "Include Render files" when duplicating? What exactly does including these do for me in the future?
4. If I drag this duplicated project do I need to drag the separate Events folder with it? Or was that taken care of with the duplicate function? A lot of my projects reference the same events so I'm afraid if I move one event folder for one project it will screw it up for another.
I've also read about "hiding" my FCP projects and events in different folders on my system and then they won't open when I open FCPX. Problem is, I don't want all that extra footage on my hard drive slowing down my computer when it's already on the server somewhere.
Hope this all makes sense and thank you in advance for your help!

Thanks so much for responding! That all makes sense, and I was concerned about editing from the server directly because of bottlenecking, so I will continue to have my current project on my local drive and then move it later.
Can you clarify this for me:
"create a sparse disk image on the server, mount it"
Does that mean I create a "shortcut" on my desktop to the area in the server where it goes and then archive my projects to it?
One more question, when I hide my events/files as you show in your screenshot, isn't it still housing my footage on my local drive and therefore eating up space?
A disk image is a special kind of file that you can double click and mount as if it were a hard disk.
The word "sparse" means that it will grow only as you add content to it. So you can create a sparse disk image with size, say, 50GB, but if you only add files that occupy 1GB, that's the space it will take on disk; it will grow as needed to accomodate more files (assuming the actual disk where the image resides has available space, of course). You create disk images in Disk Utility.
You probably have used disk images a lot without maybe realizing it. The dmg files that contain installers for many applications are disk images.
Regarding the hidden events: yes, if they are still on the drive they will still occupy space. If the matter is freeing space on the drive, this will not help; but if the matter is making FCP X work faster and use less memory, it will.
And you could just as well take the events and "hide" them in a different drive.

Moved project and now can't open it in FCP X

In a moment's inattention I moved the project folder to a different location on my Movie Directory. Final Cut couldn't find it so I ppanicked and put it back. Still FCP X cannot find it. I am sure I haven't lost it as it appears in FCP X Project list but no frames are associated with it. Any and all advice gratefully received as always.
Many thanks
Richard

FCP is looking for a file with the name CurrentVersion.fcprproject.
Take a look at the location you moved the folder to and see whether it was inadvertently left behind. If not there, look in the folders within your project folder. If not there, try a Spotlight search.

Moving projects and imported media from computer to EHD

Hello all
I have just recently finished a project in FCPX and all the media is stored on my Macs hard drive. I am wanting to move this project to my EHD, so its not taking up so much space on my computers HD. But in doing so i also want to be able to go back and edit the project at anytime. Can anyone help me out on how to move everything over. I tried to copy the project folder itself but says that the file volume is to small to copy over.
Thanks

Tom,
When I duplicate the project to a properly formatted EHD as you have suggested, fcpx accurately creates duplicate event and project files on the EHD, however it also creates an exact duplicate event in the event library i.e. with the identical name and contents as ther original - 2 exact event files. Is this normal?

Moving Projects and Events - Some New Info (to me anyway)

New Info!
Just came across this in the Apple Support site:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4740
What this says basically, is that you CAN use Finder to simply move FCP X event folders to remove them from the FCP x lists when working on current projects.
One concern is that the support article is silent on doing the same with FCP X project folders.
Anyone have any insight on that?
My concern there was that what I had seen earlier from Apple and other discussion boards was that a Finder move of events and projects was not secure.
Clearly one can use the FCP x Move Project command to move a project to another drive or to a disk image. However, I am looking for a way that avoids use of a second drive or disk image.

Yes, it should work exactly the same for projects.
One thing I'd highly recommend though is to never do a finder or FCP "move" -- instead do a copy, and then trash (delete) the original once you confirm the copy worked. If, during a "move" command, something unexpected happens, you are vulnerable to losing data.

Moving projects and associated files around, Possible?

I was asked to work on a project for a add agency directly from their office, now the projects where saved on the boot up drive, it barely has space, i want to move the files unto a external drive but inside a proper folder structure i can understand, seems like FCP so far only saves files on a chosen scratch disk, is there a way to save the files on a disk and inside a folder?

Sure. You can simply select a project in the Project Library area and choose File menu > Move Project, or File menu > Duplicate Project, depending on your specific needs.

Moved media files relink with different start/end times

Hi all,
I'm really stuck here so any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've got a number of FCP projects which use media from one drive.
The drive containing this media is soon to be in use by another project so I have done a direct copy of all the media onto another drive using finder. Literally a drag and drop copy of the files.
However, when I re-open the project and relink to the 'new' files on the new drive I am getting multiple "different start/end times" errors causing all the edited clips to play from the wrong times.
How can I stop it changing the time code when doing this?
Thanks

On closer inspection, this only seems to be affecting BWavs, if that helps at all?

Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its Encore

My project is edited in CS4.
I moved it to Encore CS4.
I don't want to use any of the supplied menu templates in CS4 Encore.
I was hoping CS4 would be all I needed to create custom menus using scenes from my project.
My question is: Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its built in Encore or do I need some other element from the Adobe catalog to make these custom chapter menus and sub-menus?
Thanks Jim

OK, I'm back. Here are my steps for creating Custom Menus with PS, En and PrPro:
In PrPro, move the CTI (Current Time Indicator) to the desired Frame. Check Frames on either side, with the Program Monitor’s Magnification to 100%, or maybe even 200% (you’ll need to scroll, but get a really clear picture). You want the clearest Frame in that area. With AME, in CS4, you’ll want to Export that Frame as .TIFF, or .BMP. I use .TIFF for this.
Now, for a caveat. When you Import this Exported Frame into Photoshop, be sure to check the specs., especially the PAR. You may have to use Image>PAR to adjust this to match your Project’s specs. Or, all might be perfect - just check this out.
Now, at this point, I choose the Library Menu, Blank, so that everything is setup. One can create the Menu from scratch, but careful attention needs to be paid to the exact naming conventions. At the very least, unless you’ve done this dozens of times before, use that Blank Menu, or similar as a guide, so you get things done, as they must be done.
Using that Blank Menu, just drag the Layer from your Exported Frame to your Menu image. It will appear above the black Background.
Add, or manipulate your Button Layer Sets, as is required, keeping them together. Remember that Button #1 will be the Button Layer Set, that is lower down in the Layers Palette. This can play a roll with Button Routing, back in Encore. Lower Button Layer Sets will have lower Button numbers.
Now, I always rename my Button Layer Sets, keeping the required characters - just changing the name. I also do all of my Button text in PS, and make sure to turn OFF Sync Button Names.
When done, Save_As .PSD, and then Import_As_Menu into Encore. Note: if you start with the Blank Menu, you can choose Edit in Photoshop, and then when done in PS, you just need to Save, and it will update in Encore. This is a personal workflow choice. I do the Edit in Photoshop route, but it is not necessary. One just needs to Import the resulting .PSD into Encore with Import_As_Menu, so that Encore does all the things that it needs to and recognizes the .PSD as a Menu.
When deciding what to base your Menu on, remember that you can "populate" your Menu with Buttons from the Functional Content. I’d suggest studying these Assets, and picking the ones that work best for you. You can still alter/edit those back in PS, so you just need to "get close."
Pay special attention to the required naming conventions. You cannot deviate from those first characters in the Button Layer Sets. They MUST be followed.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.
Good luck,
Hunt

I am moving clips to the timeline and they arrive zoomed in. how can I stop this?

need some help. I'm moving clips to the timeline and they arrive zoomed in. I don't want this effect. How can I stop it?

To expand a little on John's questions and link, every clip and every sequence has its own frame dimensions (and pixel aspect ratio & frame rate). By default, Premiere preserves the dimensions (or "resolution") of a clip when you add it to a sequence. That means that if a clip's resolution is greater than that of the sequence, it will appear to be zoomed in on the frame. Conversely, if the clip is lower res than the sequence, it will appear shrunk, with black borders.
If all of your content is the same resolution (which is the ideal case), then you should use a sequence that matches. The easiest way to do so is the "New Item" method that John refers to--dragging a clip to the Project Panel's New Item button--or, in later releases of PPro CC, dragging it into an empty Timeline panel. If you're working with content of mixed resolution, then you have to pick your poison and scale smaller clips up or larger clips down. The latter option is generally preferred because the former--scaling clips up--often results in unacceptable pixelation.

My imovie seems to have completely crashed... and I'm hoping someone can help me. I have moved all my projects and events to a folder on my desktop. I've deleted all the plist files I can find and I still cannot get it to open.

Please help... it seems all is lost as all I kind find on this subject seem to lead to nowhere. My engagement was on imovie, a school project, several videos of our son. You will have to hold my hand through this process... as I am not very good at this type of thing. I believe I have deleted all the necessary plist files and moved my projects and events to a folder on my desktop. imovie has been upgraded to version 9.0.9... Whenever I open it I just get the beachball and then I have to force quit and I get the following report:

Hi
Yes this can be many things - and I can only guess/suggest.
A. a very common origin to make the Mac un-happy is to - PANIC-HALT - when the round multicolored thing appear.
So much can go wrong by doing this - and if done often problem builds up that can result in a real disaster.
B. NEVER - move or alter any folder named - iMovie Event's resp. iMovie Project's - as iMovie has no search function - moving them results in that iMovie get's 100% lost.
One can move them - but this HAS TO BE done within the iMovie application (as it is up and running)
C. preference files - there are TWO or more Libraries on Your Mac. First and easy to find is the one You see when opening Your Start-Up Hard Disk window = Root Library == the WRONG ONE
What we need to find is the one in Your User-Account folder (icon as a house) - and this is in Mac OS X.7, X.8 and X.9 HIDDEN. To see it do:
( It can be done like this: Open Terminal, then enter:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press return, then restart, and it will always be visible until the next major update, when you do the same thing again. )
or - do like this.
On the Finder window at the top left of the screen,
Hold down the Option key and clicked on Go.
This allowed You to see the Library folder and select it.
Then keep the Option button pressed down in order to see and select the Library folder.
Once found it, You are able to navigate to the iMovie preferences file and move it to the trash. iMovie then start’s up fine!
Now here in Your User Library - find Preferences and trash
com.apple.iMovie.plist
com.apple.iMovie3.plist
com.apple.iMovie7.plist
com.apple.iMovie8.plist
com.apple.iMovie9.plist
com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
and find
com.apple.iApps.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
I Prefere another way to find out if this is the problem.
(after all folders (iMovie Event/Projects are moved into original place)
• go up to Apple Menu
• Down to System Pref's
• Select Accounts - Create a new User
• Go down the Apple menu - Log OUT
• Log into as the new User
Now try iMovie
Does it work at all ? (Yes You don't see Events or Projects in Your original Account just now)
If so - Then we know that there is a corrupted pref file to be trashed.
Else - the problem are much more severe.
D. After Panic Halt / Forced Quit - I always do -. to keep disasters on arms length.
• Repair Permissions (Apple Disk Util tool)
• Start from other HD or DVD - then run Repair Hard Disk (Apple Disk Util tool)
Yours trying to be of help - Bengt W

I finished adding my transtions to my timeline. I was having crashing issues so I shut down everything before I rendered the project and now it tells me that the project is unreadable or the file is too new for this version of final cut. What Happened?

What Happened?
No way for us to know. But if your system was crashing, there definitely was a problem. The FCE error message you got normally indicates the FCE project file has been corrupted. This probably happened due to whatever caused your system to crash & shutting down the system.
First, make sure your system is running correctly. Then, use the Finder to navigate to /users/yourusername/Documents/Final Cut Express Documents/Autosave Vault and find the most recent backup copy of your FCE project file. Copy the file to your Final Cut Express Documents folder (copy the file, don't just move it). Then double-click the copy to open it in FCE. It should open ok, but will probably not have your most recent edits (transitions). You may have to rebuild the transitions, but at least you will be back in action.

Moving Events and Projects from one location to another on the same hard drive.

Hello.
I've searched in the FCP X User Manual, on this forum and in Google, but have found no explanation of how to do this, so I'm posting this here in hopes that someone in our community will be able to help.
I've previously stored my FCP X Events and Projects folders on an external 3TB hard drive, because there is more room on it than on the internal 1TB hard drive, but, since then, I've worked with other media apps, for video, photography and audio, the files for which are also stored on the external hard drive, and this has created a bit of clutter with no folder structure to keep it tidy.
I like an organised file structure on my system, to keep it uncluttered, easy to navigate and efficient to use, so I put all the files for my photography, video and audio apps into their own folders, which are, in turn, stored in their appropriate folders for Audio, Photography and Video, and those three folders are stored in a folder called Media, and then I directed each app to its own files.
The only app with which this has been a problem is FCP X. While there is a way of relocating projects and events from within FCP X, it allows the user to move them from one hard drive to another, and not, as I want, from one place to another on the same hard drive.
I'm not sure if it matters, but perhaps it's relevant to mention before the next paragraph that the files that had previously been imported as events are, to save hard-drive space, stored in the events folder as shortcuts to the original files, which are stored elsewhere on the drive, rather than as duplicates of those files.
In Finder, I copied the Events and Projects folders to their intended new locations and tried in the app to link the events and projects to their new Finder location. It seemed to have worked, until I moved the original folders to the Trash. On re-opening FCP X, it was clear that the linking hadn't worked. I returned the original folders from the Trash to their original location, but that didn't entirely reverse the problem. I noticed also that, in the original and duplicated Events folders, the shortcuts had lost their links to the original files stored elswehere on the drive.
Fortunately I had run a backup before starting, so I restored the original folders and the app from the backup, and all was back to normal.
I'd be grateful if anyone could advise me on whether or not it's possible to move FCP X events and projects from one place to another on the same hard drive with the app's compliance.
Thank you.
