Sharing projects between macs (iMovie 2014)

Hi guys, I just want to ask... how can I share my projects between my iMac and my Macbook air? I started one project in one of them and now I must finish it in the other one.
I found this (in spanish) but is for iMovie '11 and it doesn't work. (iMovie '11: Copiar o mover un proyecto a un disco rígido externo) and I've iMovie 10.0.4.
Thank you in advance.

Hey Espartak
I've retraced my steps and I think I missed a stage in my instuctions above, so here is some revised instructions.  Item 4 has changed from my original
I am using iMovie 10.0.4
1. Create a new iMovie library and savedit on an external hard drive with a different name to the current Library. File>open Library>New
You will then see the new library and the old library in the left hand panel.
2. Drag your movie events from one library to the other and this then copies the files into the new library.
3. Ctrl click on the event you have just copied and click “Consolidate Event Media”  this will make sure the files are copies to the new library.
4. In the left had column there is “ALL PROJECTS” but there is also an item called “UPDATED PROJECTS” mine appears in my library list under 2013 ??  I don’t know why that is, maybe it is when I updated iMovie?  Anyway in here you will find all of the projects again only from here you can move them around.  Select the project that you want to copy and drag and drop it over the name of the event in the new library.  Then when you click on that event you can see that the project is also there.
5. Once finished click on the new library in the left hand panel Ctrl click and click close library
6. Plug in your external drive to your other Mac. You can either copy your new library from you external drive or leave it there.  Open iMovie
7. Find the new library on your external drive/or mac and double clicked it.  This then openes iMovie and it imported all of the projects as well as the events.
See if that works for you

    how to create shared folder between mac and windows

    Us ean external drive formatted FAT32 or ExFat. Both OSx and Windows can read/write to the drive and both can use the same data files as long as you have a program that can open and save these files. For example, Word running both on OSx and on Windows will be able to work with the same document on the external drive.

  • Is it Possible to Sync Certain Projects Between Macs?

    It would be very helpful if my wife and I could synchronize certain Aperture projects (not our entire Aperture libraries) between the Aperture libraries on several Macs. Is this possible? We both use the .aplibrary scheme to store our photos.
    Thanks!

    Hi David,
    Aperture is a single-user application, designed to be used by one person in one place at one time.  It provides no multi-user functions, nor is there any automatic way to sync Libraries for use in different locations.
    There are work-arounds involving exporting and importing/merging, or putting the shared Projects on a Library on a (literally) shared disk that only one of you opens at any time.  That's it, afaik.
    You can add your voice to the chorus asking for some sharing/syncing via "Aperture➞Provide Aperture Feedback". 

  • Transfering i-photo projects between macs

    Hello
    I created a project (albulm) on my laptop using i-photo when abroad & now want to finish it on my main mac. However I can't seem to transfer the project between the macs only the underlying images.  Don't want to have to start the project again.  Is there any solution?
    Thanks

    The only way to move a print project is to move the Library that contains it.

  • Sharing projects between libraries

    I'm looking for a solution to share projects in sync between multiple libraries, without having to export & import projects each time. I'd like the shared projects to be in sync between the libraries.
    I'm putting together a highlights portfolio, so in each of my many libraries, I have a "best of" project for the selects. I'd like each of these "best of" projects to be seen by a separate library which is just used to make my portfolio. Any time I update the best of in a given library, I'd like that to be reflected in the shared project in the portfolio library.
    Is there a solution/workaround for this?
    I found a free script that is supposed to make this possible, but I've had no luck with it thus far...

    Thanks a lot for your response, RB -- I read the page you referenced:
    http://photo.rwboyer.com/2008/09/managing-aperture-2-on-multiple-computers/
    And maybe I'm missing something, but I don't believe that either of these two approaches solves my particular problem?
    It seems that both approaches require that you import/export projects, or relocate masters, etc. What I'm looking to do is have projects from multiple libraries synced with each other "live", with out having to import/export or manage anything manually.
    Simplest example: I have one library called "Brazil," and in it I have a project I've named "Best of Brazil". I have another library called "Portfolio," where I pull together all my best work from various projects. What I want is for the "Best of Brazil" project to show up automatically in the "Portfolio" project. And anytime I'm in the Brazil library & add some new shots to the Best of Brazil project, next time I go into my Portfolio library, those new shots or edits should be automatically in the mirrored Best of Brazil project -- inside the Portfolio library.
    It's kind of like seeing & accessing other libraries, but only projects you've designated as shared...
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks a lot!

  • Screen Sharing Locally Between Mac OS and Windows 7

    Apologies in advance if this is a really, really dumb question. However all the answers online center around an internet based VNC when I need something more local.
    I have a MacPro on one desk and a gaming rig on another running Win7 64 on another. They are directly connected via Ethernet for file sharing, but I am wondering how to make it so I can control the Windows 7 rig from the Mac Pro.
    Thanks much in advance!

    Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Mac OS X Client (free)

    CoRD (Microsoft RDC Screen Sharing)
    <http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/22770/cord>
    This assumes you can enable RDC on your Windows system.
    After that, a VNC server, but that will not export sound.
    And this really only works if you are using keyboard and mouse. I do not think you can use a game controller unless that basically looks like a keyboard or mouse.
    Than again, maybe you are asking if it is possible to export your keyboard and mouse, but use the Windows system and its monitor. That is to say share you keyboard and mouse between the 2 systems. Then you should look at SynergyKM

  • Sharing files between Mac to Windows

    Hi,
    I have an ibook G3 with Mac OSX, originally 10.1.5 but recently I upgraded it to Tiger 10.4. The hard drive is about to die (clicking in left corner, applications running slow even though I have enough memory). I'm sorry to say but I bought a Microsoft PC. I've just had so much trouble with my Mac.
    I would like to transfer my files from grad school from my Mac to my Windows PC using an ethernet cable if that is possible. I really don't know much about computers. How does one do this, set up a direct connection between the two computers which are not on any kind of network.
    I really don't want to lose my files and I have already tried some other options. The CD burner on the Mac never worked so I was unable to burn copies of my files directly. I tried using an external CD burner but not all of the files burned, not sure why. I tried transferring the files to a zip disk but when I connected the zip drive to the Windows PC the computer told me it couldn't read the files and would have to reformat the disk erasing all of the information. If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate them.
    Thank you,
    Melissa

    Hi Melissa!
    You have the right idea about using an Ethernet cable. It's the simplest way to transfer files without resorting to sneakernet.
    Do you know whether or not either of your computers has a Gigabit Ethernet port? If so, any Ethernet cable (straight-through or cross-over) will work. Otherwise, get a cross-over Ethernet cable from your local computer store.
    You can plug the cable directly between the two computers and they will automatically assign themselves IP addresses in the same range 169.254.xxx.xxx.
    If your Windows PC is running Windows XP, then it has file sharing enabled by default. If you'd like, create a folder on your Windows destkop, right-click and select Sharing.
    From your Mac, you should be able to go to the Go menu in the Finder and select Connect To Server... Browse to find and connect to your Windows machine. You can drag and drop files to copy them.
    Hope this helps! bill

  • Tuxera NTFS-3G vs MacDrive / Sharing volumes between Mac and PC

    Hi all,
    I have a number of external hard drives (and am thinking of getting an external RAID array) which I need to share between Windows and Mac OS X. This is not just for backups it is for storing video media and projects (Final cut Pro/Sony Vegas) and working on them. The two sensible solutions seem to be Tuxera NTFS-3G and MacDrive. I'me inclined to go fro NTFS as that is what most of my drives are currently but would like to know what people thing.
    Regards,
    Ben

    Thanks for that,
    Do you know how Paragon and Tuxera NTFS compare.
    In terms of NAS as I am dealing with big video files I dont want to have to transfer everything over a network.

  • Shared Libray between Mac and PC via Airport

    Hello, I'm new to the forum, and apologize if this has been posted before (thought I couldn't find any existing topics).
    I've had my iTunes library on an external hard drive directly connected to my Mini for some time. I recently purchased an Airport and hooked the hard drive up to it to share the files between the Mac and an HP running Windows 7.
    I've gotten iTunes set-up on the Mini, and can view the Shared Library on the PC. However, if I try to open the library on the PC, I cannot see the library when opening iTunes. If I browse to the hard drive through My Computer I can see the library, XML, PDF export of albums, etc. It's only when I open iTunes and select Choose Library that I can only see the folders.
    I'm assuming I can do this (maybe I'm wrong), but don't know how. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

    I suggest you post your question on the Microsoft Mac Office forums as that's where the Office gurus hang out...

  • Sharing files between mac and PC's

    I have an iMac running 10.4.8 and 2 PC's running XP home edition. I am trying to share files between them. They are networked through a router. The mac can see and connect to both of the PC's and I can open files on the PC's from the mac. The PC's can connect to each other and open files. The problem I'm having is connecting to the mac from either of the PC's. They all have the same workgroup name. I have windows file sharing on. Is there something else that needs to be done so the PC's can see and connect to the mac?

    Hi Pat-999,
    To set up a link between Windows XP and the Mac do the following:
    1) Open "My Network Places" on the Windows computer.
    2) Double click on "Add a network place".
    3) A setup wizard will appear. Click next and choose the option to specify a network site, etc. Click Next.
    4) Open the System Preferences on your Mac. Choose Sharing. Under the Services tab, turn on the check box for "Windows Sharing". Click on the Accounts button and activate your account. If sharing hasn't started by itself, click the Start button. Write down the address where it says "Windows users can access your computer at...". It would be something like \\192.168.0.122\username
    5) Enter that address in the wizard at the Windows computer and click Next.
    6) It will take a few minutes for the connection to show up. When it does, give the connection a name and save it.
    In the future, you then just need to have Windows sharing on at your Mac and double click the connection you saved to connect. When you do, a dialogue box will appear asking for the Mac users' name and password to connect. Put in your long name (the same one that appears any time the Mac asks for your password) and the password. A folder will open on the Windows desktop.
    Initially, it will only let you set the connection up for your entire Mac account. So you will see all of the folders within that account. If you want to confine the connection to the drop box, then run the connection wizard again. This time, on the page where you enter the Mac address, you'll have a drop down menu of all of the folders in your account. Choose username\Public\Drop Box and save that connection. Delete the previous one. Now when you connect (using the same long name and password), the folder on the Windows desktop will be confined to the Drop Box folder of your account.

  • Sharing Files between Mac's in the same Network

    ok, I have a Mac Pro and my sister has an iMac
    I know how to share files but I get annoyed by this:
    1)I only want to share my "Public Folder" but instead, it not only shares my Public folder but also my "Macintosh HD and System" Folder. And I cant find a way to hide this folders. It does it by default how can I fix this.
    The same thing happens for both Mac's not only the Public folder gets share but the system and Macintosh HD as well.
    *This has nothing to be with 10.5.4 update... since i was trying to figure this out long time ago...
    2) I have a laptop computer running Vista, when i had 10.5.1 I was able to see the PC monitor in my finder window to share my files, after 10.5.2 came out, every time I turn on my laptop , the icon does not show up on my Mac. And i hate going to "finder/go/connect to server" option
    Do you guys have the same problems??

    I know what you mean, I am having the same problem. I think I figured out why this is happening though.
    This is what happens when you turn on "file sharing":
    "Users you have set up with accounts in Accounts preferences can access your computer by connecting to it over the network. *A user with an administrator account can access your entire computer.*"
    I am assuming that your sister has an admin account on her iMac, which automatically gives her full access to your hard drive.
    Does anyone know how to restrict file sharing, even for administrators in the network?

  • Sharing Files between Mac and Windows XP PC

    I have an small office with three computers. There is a new Mac that basically acts as the server. There is a shared folder on the computer. The other 2 computers are PCs. All permissions have been set on the Mac. The other 2 users are set as Administrators on the Mac and have the ability to Read and Write. The other 2 users can access the files, but they are not able to make any changes. The shared folder has may sub folders. Any ideas?

    huh, i used migration assistant to create a user with all my old data. now i have 2 users. anyway, i was putting the old data i wanted (i plan to wipe out the old user) into the shared folder...and it was working fine. all of a sudden, i put files into the shared folder, and when i log in as the new user, i can't use the file. won't give me access.
    i've enabled file sharing, the files and folders are marked as shared, and well...it seems like file sharing is broken.
    ...ideas?

  • Sharing files between macs

    Okay so here is my problem. I have a MacBook Pro 13" running snow leopard and I am trying to connect it to an iMac running 10.5 leopard. When I click on my iMac's name in finder and try to connect to it it keeps giving me a "Connection Failed" dialog. When I click on my MBP in my iMac's finder, however, it connects fine!
    HOW CAN I CONNECT THE iMAC TO THE MBP SO THAT I CAN SHARE FILES?
    I need to access files on the iMac from the MBP and cannot seem to do this.
    Any help is very much appreciated.
    THANKS!

    There is not much to the settings that should get your Macs communicating, but note that many are having problems under Sno with fundamental OS function. On each Mac, just go System Preferences > Sharing > Check mark File Sharing > Go Options > Check mark the AFP blurb. And, on each Mac, at System Preferences > Sharing > Select the folders to be shared; the users who may share; and their permissions. Note that the settings I mentioned may vary a tad on Leopard. So, you many need to improvise a little.
    I would not try for screen sharing until you get basic sharing going. You could get sidetracked otherwise.
