Simultaneously editing a project on multiple systems

We have two editors accessing the same project at the same time over our local network. Are there any pitfalls or landmines that we should be aware of?
======================
Name edited by moderator for clarity. "Premiere Pro CC" is a bit generic...

I'd say you're asking for trouble to work on the same project simultaneously on separate computers. You'll be better off working in separate projects and then importing sequences from one into the another.
Or else investigate Adobe's solution to collaborative editing: Adobe Anywhere.

Working on projects on multiple systems

Hi, I have Final Cut Pro X installed on my iMac and I have a lot of projects and events on an external hard drive. I also installed FCPX on my macbook pro because I need to do some editing at one client's location. If I have my external hard drive plugged in my macbook pro and launch FCPX, I can see all my events but I can't see the project. If I close FCPX and browse my external hard drive to the "Final Cut Events" folder, I open any of the projects folder and double click on the file "CurrentVersion.fcpevent", it opens FCPX but I still can't see the projects.
Anyone can help me ?

Editing same project on multiple comps

How do you switch final cut projects between computers? I have FCP 5 on both computers and I take the project file copy it onto a hard drive along with the captured material-capture scratch-and I get an Error 41 message and the project doesn't load.
Please help.

the version issue is most likely the problem... updating the laptop now to a later version of fcp 5, kinda slipped my mind bc of the 5.1, 5.3 etc stuff. Thanks, this should be sorted out soon.

IDVD burning one project on multiple macs? where are project contents?

How do I burn one project on multiple macs? I have a idvd project I created in keynote, added music to it in Garageband, exported to quicktime, and now is in iDVD burning just fine. However I have tons of these dvd's to make, I would like to put all my mac's to work.
last night i tried to share the file, and it is just an alias when i drag it over from the macbook it was created on to my imac. the file says it is in use and locked, since the macbook that created it is burning it. If I wanted to brun on the imac, I had to wait until the macbook was done.
is there a way around this? What if I copied all files I used to make the idvd project to my imac or any computer i wanted to burn on? woudl it hen allow two macs to be burning the same project?
I figured I could do this just like on my PC, drag the file over and voila...no such luck, its like if i had dragged a shortcut over to another pc...if the first one is using the file, its locked. Basically how do i get to the actual contents of the project, so I can also bring them over and hopefully it will allow me to burn on multiple macs at the same time?
my next solution if that didn't work was to start copying dvd's using popcorn on the other macs while the macbook continues burning through idvd.
Any opinions on how i can duplicate a dvd fast...need alot of copies!

Also as to where the files are.
I-DVD project bundle: This is the file created when you save the project.
• [user]/Library/iDVD/Favorites: This folder is located in your home folder.
• [root]/Library/iDVD/Favorites: This folder is located at the root of your disk.
• /Network/Library/iDVD/Favorites: This folder is on a network system specifically
configured by your system administrator for this purpose. (This is not the same as
having a server networked into your computer.)

Can I edit one project on two computers with external drive and two copies of software?

I have two copies of premiere elements. One on IMac and one on Macbook. Video files on external drive. I want to be able to edit same project on both. I originally started the project on macbook but IMac doesn't see the exsisting project. Can I do this? thanks for the help

Thanks for the follow up.
The matter of the sign in/trial version has happened to me from time to time with Premiere Elements (I worked with Windows). I supply
the requested information and that usually takes care of that message for a long while.
What is the status of the issue now with the MacBook Pro to iMac projects? Is that matter restricted to just one project from MacBook Pro to iMac?
If so, on this particular one, did you try the Project Archiver/Copy Project workflow in MacBook Pro?
As for the error message...I am not a Mac user, and consequently I am not sure I am interpreting the following correctly. But take a look to see if any of it applies

How to make the 'Finish Date' field Editable in Project server 2013

Hi All,
In Project server 2013 on premises deployment, When I try to create a new enterprise project [Also in case of new custom project type], Only the 'Start Date' field is available. The 'Finish Date' field is by default taking the value of the 'start Date' itself.
I am unable to make this 'Finish Date' field editable.
Any pointers on this would be very helpful,
Thanks
Shanky

Shanky --
When you create a new project in either Microsoft Project Professional or Project Online, the system does not allow you to enter both a Start date and a Finish date for the project. Here is how the software works:
You enter the Start date of the project.
You completely plan the project with tasks, task dependencies, task Durations, and assigning resources to tasks.
Based on the Start date you provide, plus all of the task information, the software calculates the Finish date of the project for you. So, you cannot provide both the Start date and the Finish date, nor is they any way to force the system to allow
you to do this. Hope this helps.

(RFC vs files), where Sender SAP and receiver multiple system

Publish and Subscribe using BPM or Without BPM (RFC vs files), where Sender SAP and receivers multiple system,.
This is my 1st BPM scenario in sandbox system
For this scenario
I Created 2 Data types
2 MT,
Service interface:
Request interface Mode:Asynchronous
Abstract Req interface,Mode:Asynchronous
Response Interface,Mode:Asynchronous
Abstract Respomse Interface ,Mode:Aysnchronous
Synchronous Interface ,Mode:Synchronous
2 Message mapping for Req and Resp
1 Operation Mapping
BPM design: Plz find the attatchement
Can anyone please help me how many Interface determinations,receiver determinations ,sender agreements,receiver agreements need to create for this.......
It will be good if anyone send the BPM design flow for this.........
can we do this scenario without BPM?
Regards

Hi
Receiver is FTP only.....
SAP side is RFC.........
RFC sender will be initiating the scenario, and there is receiver is File, PI should go to file directory and take the file then send it back to RFC as response.
Sender: RFC
Receiver: File
1. is this scenario with condition based routing.. so that each time outof many receiver systems it will trigger any specific system.
if above is the case then you can achive this without BPM also..
Yes...its condition based routing...
I Used async in this scenario.....sender side configurations also done....
But when when I am triggering BAPI from SE37 I am getting an error
Exception SYSTEM_FAILURE
Message ID: 00 Message number: 341
Message:
Runtime error CALL_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND has occurred
How to Solve this????
I checked the RFC destination which i created in TCP/IP..a nd i mentioned the same in se37 RFC target system..
Connection is Ok
Or we need to create proxy for MI and report for this?

After Effects Crash when editing a Project on high end PC.

Good day i am trying to edit a project on after effects and it all opens just fine, but when i go to edit and move around in the timeline i get crash reports and the program either closes or just doesnt respond. I have a Alienware PC, with 32 GB ram and a 4GB video card. Shouldnt have any PC restraints.

Utilizing all the cores and all the memory is not what you are after. You have to leave resources for other processes and you have to make sure that your system has enough resources to do things like decode footage in the background and process the effects you are setting up in AE. Some video codecs do not respond well to MP rendering so you may have to turn that off or transcode your footage to something that works.
As Myenium said your question lacked the details necessary to even guess what is going wrong. The best option to troubleshoot your problem is to reset your preferences to the default settings then see if the project works. If it doesn't start exploring things like source footage formats for problems. Then start adjusting your memory and MP settings using the guidelines that Adobe has published for optimizing performance.

I am trying to edit a project originally started on another computer, by someone else and saved onto an external h-drive, but keep getting 'general error 48' when I try to render it to work further. Can anyone help?

Is this problem only occurring with the project you copied from an external drive, or with any FCP project?
For example, if you were to create a new project, do you still have this problem?
In FCP, if you go to the menu FInal Cut Pro > System Settings and look at the Scratch Disks Tab, is it set where you expect it to be? Have you tried switching the scratch disk to a different disk?

Premiere timeline won't redraw properly after opening project on different system

I've been seeing an issue (for quite some time now) where if I'm working a job on two different edit systems (usually with duplicate media or using a shuttle drive for mobile editing) that when I open the project on the "other" system the timeline won't redraw properly and looks like the attached image. The edit is there and the system will play the timeline but it's unusable as you can't work.
I've found that some combination of duplicating the sequence and/or quit and restart might fix it. Importing the sequence to another project will too. A talk about this on twitter with other editors who have seen this says a relink to the media will fix it. I used to think that was a problem of using Dropbox to store a PPro project files was the culprit but it happens when I use a shuttle drive to keep the same project on two computers in sync for editing on one or the other.
Anyone else? Any solutions?

Yes, I have seen issues here in support when users transport their projects from one system to another via a portable hard drive. It's very weird behavior and I'm investigating the issue. What you might try is a different method of transporting those projects, like a different drive, etc.
I will add this issue to my report. Feel free to file a bug report here.
Thanks,

What is the Best way to consolidate projects from multiple hard drives?

I am working on my first tv show. My team and I have been editing various clips on multiple hard drives. What is the best way to put all these different projects into one timeline while still maintaining the ability to edit individual "tracks"?
xmls?
omfs?
Please help

Question: clean and use multiple System Preparation

Hi there, I am curious if this is possible:
- How to clean the system preparation once it is set up ? I mean, I can create a system preparation, but I'd like to
re-create it, and I dont see any "delete" button for erase the current system prep params.
- is it possible to have multiple system preparations profiles ? or is it one for each pool?
thanks again.
-Oswaldo

Hi Oswaldo,
You can edit the system preparation file using the 'Edit System Preparation File' link on the Cloning tab of a Pool. There is no delete action for the system preparation but you can use the 'Apply System Preparation' checkbox on the Cloning tab of a Pool to enable or disable its use during cloning which will give you a similar end result.
You can only have one system preparation file per pool

I made a project with multiple tracks and had it all panned and mixed. Now it's only playing in the right speaker. Not even regestering a left side in the master volume? What happened, how can I get both sides back?

I made a project with multiple tracks and had it all panned and mixed. Now it's only playing in the right speaker. Not even regestering a left side in the master volume? What happened, how can I get both sides back?

Thank you for that info.
For video, the codec is MPEG-4 Video (XVID) and for audio it says MPEG Audio Layer 1/2/3 (mpga).
There are two issues with that file:
The first is the Xvid CODEC (not meant for editing), and then the MPEG Audio/MPGA. I would convert that file, to something that is more editable.
Good luck,
Hunt

Just Curious...when editing small projects do you use Final Cut or iMovie?

I need to learn how to edit in final cut, just wondering how much of a learning curve there is and what people's preference would be...editing in FC or iMovie 09
thanks

small, quick 'n dirty = iM09
advanced, elaborated (=compositings, 'grading', SpecialFX) = FC/e4
esp, from iM09>>FC the learning curve is extreme! FC is a professional tool, no 'one click done', needs a lot of background knowledge, how things are done (=not the app, the concept ..)
I'm using both, simultanously for some projects - iM09's 'skimming' is an excellent tool for a 'rough pre-cut', .. and I LOVE the green-screen effect in iM, compared to less-intuitive color-key in FC/e ...
but, the more you get used to FC's interface, the faster you're working with it. => I would love to see an optional 'quick edit mode' in FC/e as in iM! both apps are from the same master-mind, greetings to Randy U.!

Simultaneous editing of wiki content

Hi,
Does anyone know what happens if two or more people are editing the same wiki page at the same time? Does it have a way to handle this or is it just "s/he who saves last wins"?
Thanks.

Assuming you mean the application Pages, then the answer is no. Simultaneous editing of a document is extremely difficult to implement, and is usually done using a wiki-like system. The thing you want is called 'a collaborative real-time editor'.
Take a look at Etherpad or something like that.
