Sync file cut express project on two macs

I have a imac and a macbook what is the best way to sync a project back and forth between the two macs. I know probably the original video files will have to be on both. I'm guessing that file should be in the same place on both. But I need step by step on how to. With all my FCE files in one folder so all I have to sync is one folder between the two.
Thanks

I'm just not sure and need someone that's maybe been there.

Wireless connection is a bad idea as data rate transfer speed needed for video material is pretty fast. I'm sure that your macbook air hard drive is not designed to give a sustained data rate tranfer speed for a such usage.
Partitionning is a bad idea too as your internal drive has to seek for data stored on 2 logical locations fitted on just one physical support. It seems many many actuator stop and go and less efficient data rate transfer speed.
I maintain my suggestion, go for a dedicated external hard drive where you will put all media related to your project AND the project file itself. If FCE is correctly installed on both mac, your project will open flawlessly from one mac or other.

Sync photo book print project between two Macs?

I have two Macs synced using iCloud Photo Library which works great. I noticed that the Photo Books (and other print products) don't sync. Is there a way to find that file in the Package Contents and copy it over to my other Mac? Probably not the safest thing to do but I would love to be able to work on my photo book on multiple Macs. If not I guess I could put my library on an external drive and use access the same library from both Macs.
Thanks.

Importing Final Cut Express projects

Hi,
I cannot see how to importing my older Final Cut Express projects into Premiere Pro CS5. I know this can be done with Final Cut Pro via the XML format, but it seems that FCE does not export to XML. Does anybody know of alternative ways of exchanging data? Maybe, a file converter of any kind?
Best regards,
Paolo

Yes, I have a couple of them, but they have their lives :-)
I guess I can have their help, as soon as they can. In any case, being independant with this kind of things would be great.
However, I guess that this conversion is to be done once, since I don't plan to downgrade to FCE again (unless Adobe stops developing Premiere for Mac again, or I end up with no money to buy the upgrades...)

Saving and removing a Final Cut Express Project (Smartly)

I have finished a Final Cut Express project and would like to save and remove it from my external hard drive. What is the smartest way to do this so that in the event I ever want to go back and make changes to it I can do it easily?
Thanks for any advice you can give.

First, I'd like to say that I'm a pack rat. I have a couple video projects on my drives that I've not edited for three years. I just hate the thought of messing them up or letting go of them (there's probably medication for that) so I just let them sit there taking up precious space. I need to reform and hope you can help me.
Where does one find a list of the project files that a project requires? Also, is the media only the clips that appear in the "browser" window or are they the rendered files, as well. Maybe the rendered files are the project files?
Are all the media files located in the "capture" folder?
If I understand you correctly, if the reels were properly named, with no time code errors, I can trash the media (BUT, of course, keep the master DV tapes) and only archive the project files. If I want to re-edit the project in anyway in the future, I'll need to re-import the video from the DV tapes using this scenario.
If I don't want to have to re-import the raw footage from tape, can I back-up all the files on multiple DVDs using toast?
Lastly, what do you do when you're finished with a project?
Thanks,
Stuart

Starting a Final Cut Express project

When I try to open a Final Cut Express project by double clicking on the logo of the project the operation fails and I get a notice: "The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -10660)". I can only open the project by clicking the alias of the application itself and open the project from within the application, which is much less convenient (sometimes another Final Cut Express project is first downloaded, which may take a lot of time).

It is good practice to save & close your project(s) before you exit FCE, especially if you are working on more than one project.
When you double click on your project file to open FCE, you are commanding FCE to start up & open the project you just double clicked - but since you didn't close your previous project, when FCE starts up it also attempts to open the previous project(s) at the same time ... and there is lots of potential for conflicts.

Burning Final Cut Express Project using Toast

How do I burn a Final Cut Express project using Toast? When I export a quicktime movie, even when it is "Self-Contained" and burn it in toast I only get sound with no picture. When I export it as a .mov I am assuming that will work, but it is taking 3 hours to export a 45 min video. Is there any other way or is iDVD my only option?

The OS version I am using 10.4.10 which should show on my profile. My computer is a PowerPC G5 Dual 2 GHz with 3 GB RAM. The version of FCE is HD 3.5 and the version of Quicktime I beleive is 7.2. When I export I use Quicktime movie. I tried it with the self contained box checked and without and both did the same thing. I only got sound. When I export using Quicktime Conversion that's what takes over 3 hours. What is the difference by the way? It plays fine in Quicktime player and works fine with iDVD. I have burned quicktime files and WMF before with toast and it has worked fine. It's only when I export them from Final Cut Express that it doesn't work. I have also exported from iMovie as a full quality dv and it has worked.

Can I open my final cut express projects in final cut pro X?

I need to get footage out of some of my final cut express projects and put them in final cut pro X, which I am now using. How do I do that?

You can export any movie from FCE to Quicktime, and use it in FCP X. If you export using ProRes 422 codec it will already optimized for FCP X.
What you can't do is use the FCE projects themselves in FCP X.

How can I open Final Cut Express project in Final Cut Pro X?

If you export the project from FCE you can import the QuickTime into FCP. You can do limited work to it like adding titles.

Will 7toX translate Final Cut Express projects to FCP X

Does anyone know if the new 7toX application will translate Final Cut Express projects to Final Cut Pro X?

So can you open a Final Cut Express project with Final Cut Pro 7, save that as XML, and then use 7toX?
. . . I realize, of course, this won't help anybody who doesn't have FCP 7.

Final Cut Express Project space problem

I have just finished my first real project in Final Cut Express HD. It has created a Capture Scratch folder of 54 GB. Included in this 54GB is the footage that I used to complete the project which are captured as QuickTime movies. Also included are the render files.
The FCE project itself is saved in my Movie folder and that is 17GB. I created a Quicktime Movie and that is an additional 17GB (the same as the project)
In addition to the above I had to import the Quicktime Movie into IDVD and that IDVD file is 13GB.
All of this is taking up a lot of space on my Power MAC G5. I only have 11 GB available.
I have an external LaCie drive that has 91 GB available. The question is What can I transfer to the LaCie drive and still keep the project intact. I do not want to have to start this project all over again.
Please help!

Hi Kennbu,
The minimum you need to keep includes 1) your FCE Project File (which is in your Final Cut Express Documents folder, not your Movies folder), 2) the clips in Capture Scratch that you captured from your camera, and 3) any other media files (photos, sound, etc) that you imported into your FCE project. You do not need to keep any of the render files or output files unless you have other reasons to keep them.
Your FCE Project File cannot be 17GB; I suspect you are calling your exported movie your project file. The FCE Project File only contains the instructions for the things you did when you edited your project in FCE and it should be a relatively small file, usually under 1MB. It does not contain any actual video; that's what your original footage clips and/or render files in Capture Scratch contain.
When you export your project, FCE reads the instructions in the Project File, applies the instructions to your video & audio files and then creates an output file. I suspect you did this twice and that is why you have two 17GB QT files in your Movies folder.
In the future, one way to save space on your HD is export your FCE movie as a reference movie not as a self-contained movie. When you export, if you leave the "Make movie self contained" option checked, FCE copies all your video into the exported file; it takes a lot of time and uses disk space at the rate of ~13GB per hour of video. If you uncheck this option FCE makes what is called a reference movie that is very small and very fast; it usually only takes seconds to export a reference movie. You can import reverence movies into iDVD just the same as a self-contained movie as long as you are on the same machine that has your captured clips & other media files.

Does Final Cut Express 4 work with mac mini and other questions...?

I have a few questions I need help in answering... I would appreciate opinions on the following:
I am about to make a purchase of a new mac. I already have a mac mini PPC, but it is too slow...
Here is what I am thinking.
Mac mini, 2GB mem, 160GB hard drive. Will this new mac mini work with Final Cut Express 4?
Or should I go with the more powerful iMac?
I like to make movies on my mac but I hate iMovie 08 so I constantly use iMovie HD 06. Should I go to Final Cut Express 4 or just stick with iMovie HD 06?

There is no doubt that FCE 4 will run on an Intel mini - the GMA graphics processor is compatible. There is also no doubt that an iMac would give you somewhat better overall performance, though it's important perhaps to note that as complex as FCE is, it is actually a little less demanding on hardware than iMovie has traditionally been, so the difference between a mini with 2Gb RAM and a similarly equipped iMac will not be all that great in FCE, though it will become a little more noticeable if you continue to use iMovie 6.
The main reason for the performance difference between iMovie and FCE is that in order to provide a reasonably sophisticated video editing package that will run on very basic hardware, Apple relied heavily on caching techniques, meaning that while FCE basically spools from video and relies on CPU power, iMovie constantly moves data to and from the hard drive. The mini's hard drive is a (relatively) slow device in comparison to the iMac's - thus the iMac runs iMovie rather more seamlessly. In FCE, the difference is, as said, rather less clear unless you were to go for the top-end model.
If your budget can stretch to an iMac it makes sense to go that route simply because the extra power and overall performance (and the better graphics processor) will give you greater flexibility down the road. On the other hand, if funds are tight and you need to spend as little as reasonably possible, a mini will do fine, and is sufficient;y inexpensive that in a couple of years could be sold off and replaced without severe financial implications.
In terms of the choice between FCE or iMovie, beware that if you haven't used FCE before, the transition is not easy, and the learning curve for it is pretty steep. That said, it has far greater power and flexibility in terms of what you can achieve with it than has ever been possible with iMovie.
That said, for casual and home use, iMovie (version 6 at least) has plenty of power and tools for the majority of projects. iMovie 8 is, in many ways, deeply flawed for those who want that sort of power and workflow tools, being that it is designed for quick and easy creation of movies, not creative and considered productions. It has it's uses, but if you have experience with iMovie already, v8 is really not intended for you at all.
All that said, I've used iMovie 6 on systems will a lot less power than the current Intel minis, and have found it stable and workable, so I have no doubt it would work well on any current Mac.

Permission to access Xcode project in two Mac's?

I have started to develop some programs as educational purpose for my son. I have two mac's in which Xcode 4.0.1 is installed.
Project files are stored in outside HDD. But the project seems not to be accessed in the second Mac with the following message:
Is there a way to share project in several computers? (I'm still using Snow Leopard.)
Thanks.

Apple's IDE supports SVN - google machine is your friend.
I hope that folder 'C' isn't a drive 'C' somehow

Opening Live Type Into Final Cut Express project

I cannot get Live Type to open. When in Final Cut Express the icon box comes up with 'File Error - Wong Type'. Don't know where else to look

You cannot open LiveType or a LiveType project in FCE. LT is a standalone application. You can import a finished LT project into FCE, but you cannot open it.

Restoring Final Cut Express Project from Time Machine

Hey, would like to restore a FCE project to macbook. i know you can restore individual files or folders- but i have tried to restore the main file, rendered folder and so on but i must not be selecting all files i need as there are missing clips in the project when i open it.
1) is there an easy way to restore all files required?
2) if not , what are the specific folders i need to restore so all the pathways to the capture clips still work?
any help would be fantastic, thanks for your help!
cheers.

Hello,
The only things you should restore are your *FCE project file* and any/all *source media files* (video clips, audio files, stills) that you used in the project. Don't even bother trying to recover render files, cache files or thumbnail files - they will be unusable.
The default location for your FCE files & folders is in +yourusername/Documents/Final Cut Express Documents+ folder. Note: in the event you changed your FCE scratch disk location, the Final Cut Express Documents folder will be located wherever you specified the scratch disk location to be. You may need to look through your TM backup to find these folders.
Usually your *FCE project file* is in your +Final Cut Express Documents+ folder, which also contains a folder called +Capture Scratch+ - that is where your video clips should be. Audio, stills - they will be wherever you saved them.
Note: in the event you saved your FCE project file, video clips, etc. in other locations than the default locations, you will have to search for them, as there is no way we could tell you where they might be - you could have saved them anywhere.
Also note: when you restore a project like this, it is normal to get an Offline Clips error message when you first open the project; follow the dialogs to Reconnect Media.
If FCE cannot locate certain media files when you Reconnect Media, try this: in the FCE Browser, control-click the name of the offline clip; then select Item Properties. In the window that opens, see if there is an entry in the Source row; that is probably the location where the clip was; you can use that location as a guide to hopefully find the clip in your Time Machine backup.

How to install Final Cut Express on a different mac

Hi everybody,
my dead iMac is under repair. Now, I need to install Final Cut Express on a different machine but I don't understand if this is possible. I mean, at the end of the process the installer will ask me to register the product, but the product is yet registered. And i'm not going to torrent final cut studio... I bought the original sw!
Any suggestion?
Thanks everybody
Luca Lazzari

Thank you, Ian. It's not a laptop, just the mac of a friend of mine, so i'll have to uninstall it AFTER a good restore from Time Machine...
Thanks
