Upgrading to 10.1-old projects?

I am just finishing some projects and starting new ones this week. I am wondering how easy it is to get used to the new 10.1 system of FCPX...Is a tutorial necessary? 
What if I need to get into old projects that I did in previous versions? How complicated is that? Thanks.

It is not complicated but it worth planning and following the videos by Steve Martin and Mark Spencer that explain quite clearly the upgrade process and the new media management.
Updating to 10.1 is totally worth it.
Older projects can be upgraded and used with 10.1

  • Upgrading to Studio - will old projects open/

    I am about to upgrade to Final Cut Studio - Here is the dilemma...I have to get the full program, not the upgrade because my FCP program was "borrowed" from someone else and I will have to go from scratch with the studio, an upgrade won't work, I don't think. I did pruchase FCE initially, but you obviously upgrade from FCE to Studio. Anyway, when I install the Studio programs, will I be able to open all of my old projects in Studio, or will I have to keep all the old software from FCP and FCE on my computer?
    Thanks.

    Final Cut Pro does a good job opening projects from previous versions - including FCE. Once opened and saved they are not backwardly compatible.
    If I was looking at installing FCS2 over your collection of previously installed stuff I'd seriously consider acquiring a new hard drive, format it MacOS Extended (Journaled) and install OSX and the applications from scratch.
    This does two things for you -
    1. you have an absolutely pristine installation of the OS and your apps. They will run very well.
    2. you have a backup (your old system disk) if things go kaboom.

  • Help! I lost my old projects when I upgraded to Yosemite.

    Help! I lost my old projects, and old videos that were stored on imovie when I upgraded to Yosemite. It asked if I wanted to upgrade my projects, etc., but now they are not showing up even after I clicked that option!!! Please help! Thank you!

    Hello Andrew 97,
    The steps below may help get your events and projects to appear in iMovie.
    Verify that the latest iMovie update is installed.
    Open the Mac App Store.
    Click the Updates tab.
    Click Update All or the Update button that appears next to iMovie.
    After verifying that you have the latest version of iMovie, you can update your projects and events by following these steps.
    In the Finder, click the Go menu and choose Home.
    Open the Movies folder.
    In the iMovie Projects and iMovie Events folders, you’ll find a file named “UpdatedtoiMovie10.” Move this file to the Trash from both folders.
    Open iMovie.
    Choose File > Update Projects and Events.
    iMovie will update your projects and events. You can repeat these steps for projects and events stored on external drives.

  • Will I lose my old project files etc with upgrading to FCP 2

    Hi
    I think after upgrading to Leopard with FCP Studio 1 not able to use compressor or DVD Studio Pro to burn. I think I need to upgrade to Studio 2 as my only logical answer without major problems. If I upgrade from 5.0.1 PowerPC version to Studio 2 will my old projects be moved over to upgrade no problem?
    Thanks
    Jason

    Thanks for the reply guys! Do any of you see another solution to the problem of leopard and using the older apps? I guess it is better to start new after installing leopard. Lastly do I need to trash the old FCP 1 before install of FCP 2 or does it just upgrade it?
    Thanks Jason

  • HT6012 iMovie 10.0.6 not updating old projects after upgrade

    I upgraded my kids iMac to Yosemite, and upgraded iMovie to the latest version. Existing events and projects weren't showing up, so I did the step outlined to update the projects and events from previous versions. My events are there, but the projects aren't. i've verified they are all there in the top level directory for Movies, just like the folder with the old "iMovie Events" but it doesn't seem to want to pull them in. Is there any other way to get my old projects into this new version of iMovie?

    Hi I had the same issue and fixed it with deleting "UpdatedtoiMovie10" see step 4.
    n the Finder, click the Go menu and choose Home.
    Open the Movies folder.
    Move the “iMovie Library” file to the Trash.
    Note: If you have imported content or created projects with iMovie version 10.0, do not delete this file.
    In the iMovie Projects and iMovie Events folders, you’ll find a file named “UpdatedtoiMovie10.” Move this file to the Trash from both folders.
    Open iMovie.
    Choose File > Update Projects and Events.

  • Upgrading Computer:  Restoring Old Projects

    I'm thinking about upgrading my Mac to one of the new 8-processor jobbies.
    One concern that comes up is that I have a couple of Final-Cut projects that I either haven't finished or may want later to reload from my archives to make a BluRay cuts of them (they were filmed in HDV but compressed onto DVD, since BluRay didn't exist at the time).
    I gather that to be able to continue current projects, and to restore old projects, every file has to be in the exact same place on the exactly identically-named hard disks on the new system. That is, unless there's some easy way to remap all file names, such as to a new volume name.
    Do any of you know of some way to, for example, say "hey Final Cut (Motion, Compressor, etc.), all of the files that used to be on a disk named "Greebledorf" is now in the same place on a disk called "Snigglegloop".

    Ah, OK, I'll look up "media manager" or similar in the docs.
    To be more precise, here's what I'm kicking around: I currently have two physical drives (internal): The main, system disk and a FCS scratch disk. Most aspects of a project I put onto the FCS drive and archive it when I'm done with that project.
    On the upgraded system, I'm thinking about replacing both physical drives with a single, very-fast RAID system. That then would, in concept at least, change the paths to all of the stuff that was on the FCS scratch disk.
    The alternative would be to partition the RAID drive into images of the original two disks, in which case things will look the same again, but is perhaps a bit of a meaningless partition.
    Maybe it's not too terribly meaningless though, if I get back to the philosophy that whatever's on the scratch disk is what I archive when I go from project to project. Maybe that's a very meaningful partitioning concept.
    Anybody have any thoughts on this, in terms of project management?

  • Upgrade to Robohelp 9: Your project file cpd is corrupt

    Hi
    I have installed Robohelp 9, and is now trying to upgrade a version 6 project to version 9. When I press upgrade in Robohelp, I keep getting the error "Your project file ...cpd is corrupt and cannot be opened". I have tried to delete it and open the xpj-file again, but there is no difference. Then I found something about a file called rhvariable.apj. I copied this file from a project that I already have upgraded and which were fine. But this gave no solution either. I also read something about deleting the cpd-file and the xpj-file and then edit the hhp-file. The problem is that my corrupt projects - I have 3 at this point - have no hhp-file. So there is a difference.
    Could anyone help me? I have search and search
    Best regards
    Else

    In case this helps anyone I will share my experience...
    I've been waiting ages for the purchase order to go through for my new license for the latest version of RoboHelp.  My Help project was in version 6.  I had on one PC a trial download of RH 8 and on my other PC a trial download of version 9.  (I work in IT hence the multiple PCs)
    So, just a couple of days ago, I tried bringing in my v.6 project into v.9.  I got the cpd file corrupt error and I tried deleting it several times.  I even tried re-copying it in, etc.  Nothing worked.  I was annoyed....so just to try something I opened up my trial v.8 and loaded in my old project and it upgraded fine with no problems.  I took this upgraded project and brought it into v.9 and, lo and behold, it worked!  (Both being trial versions and just yesterday I got my v. 9 license key and registered with no issues)
    I am up and running and everything looks great and I've generated and started playing around with all of the new features I am unfamiliar with...having been stuck with v.6 for so long!
    Hope this helps someone....
    thanks,
    liz

  • I want iLife 8 but not iMovie 8, can old projects open in iMovie 6?

    I have seen the new iMovie 8 and the missing functions makes it totally useless to me. I am very disappointed with the dumbing down of iMovie with this new version but enough has been said by many others about that already. However, the new iPhoto link to .Mac gallery looks good, and likewise the new version of GarageBand so I would like to get iLife 8 just for those, without using iMovie 8. I want to carry on using iMovie 6 for my old and new projects. If I upgrade to iLife 8 can my old projects continue to be accessed by iMovie 6 if I go to the "previous version folder" and open the application from there? I do not want to risk anything going wrong with the old projects before I have completed them. I definitely am not interested in even starting anything in iMovie 8 as I use all of the lost functions when editing my movies.
    When I bought my first Mac 4 years ago, it was the sophistication of the iLife application that came with the computer, and particularly iMovie, that most influenced my decision to switch...nothing to do with iPod halo effects or pretty white hardware. If I was making the same choice now, I would not be similarly impressed and influenced by the capabilities (or not) of iMovie 8.
    I can kind of see why there might be a need for the YouTube link up and webcasting functions in iMovie 8 for some people, but I still think that the majority of people using iMovie want to make good looking and sounding movies to store on DVD's. I really hope that Apple give us a proper upgrade to iMove 6 HD and a separate application for all the other simplified stuff.

    Thanks both of you. All of the earlier projects that I want to open are in iMovie 6 so it looks as if that will still work.
    QuickTimeKirk, I don't think I was really ranting ( I did that a few days a go and my post was deleted, so fair game), but I was expressing an opinion that from what I have read, is shared by many on this forum, and on others. I am not saying that iMovie 8 is absolute rubbish, it will work well for lots of people and has some good functionality if you want to make quick, simple movies and upload them to the web, but I sincerely believe that it falls very short for the many of us who want to continue to be able to do what we had been able to before with the old version. Whenever Apple had previously given us an upgrade to an application it had added not taken away...at least not so drastically as with iMovie 8. To me, not being able to at least edit sound or use a timeline, or themes, just means I can't get the same quality of movie I could before, therefore it is useless to me. I am just expressing my disappointment that a product that I had previously been impressed enough with to switch from PC's because of, no longer holds the same appeal. And I am only talking about iMovie 8, not Apple products in general, or the rest of iLife. I just wanted increased functionality, not less with a new version, and V8 is probably going to work for lots of people, but not for me. And I am not alone in that.

  • Old projects with the *.cp extensions...

    Is it possible to get an older version of Captivate (demo maybe) to upgrade very old projects with the *.cp extensions to the new one so it opens in the newer Captivate. (PC version) Thanks

    Hello KDLadage
    Thank you for your recommendation. I understand the challenges of managing large numbers of files on the My Files page. I also understand the need to preserve project files.
    Perhaps a compromise would be to create an Archive tab under My Files. Previous versions and retired project files could then be automatically moved into this holding area when a new version is published, thus preserving the files in a separate area that is still accessible to the author.
    I will submit this suggestion to our product management team to consider as a future enhancement.

  • Manual creation of Project Site for a project is taking old project site template.

    Dear All,
    I have modified the project site and save it as a template to associate it with an EPT so that the modification will reflect in new project sites.
    For existing projects, I am deleting the old project sites (after taking backup) and recreating so that new modifications will be there for existing projects and I am able to do so.
    But, for 1 of the project, when I have deleted the project site and recreated, still it is taking the old template (i.e. new modifications has not been seen).
    Kindly advice in some areas so that I can jump in and around and can find out a solution so that the project site will take modified project template.
    Example to get the issue in an easy way:
    ProjectA:
    Project Site: http://epm/pwa/ProjectA
    Issue List:
    Column: Category [data type as Choice: Cat1, Cat2, Cat3]
    Have saved 1 project site as a template and associated with an EPT with the following changes:
    Column: Category [data type as Choice: Choice1, Choice2, Choice3]
    Then, deleted the project site: http://epm/pwa/ProjectA and recreated.
    So, it should take the modifications in the project site.
    But, it is showing as Column: Category [data type as Choice: Cat1, Cat2, Cat3].
    Regards,
    Shravan

    Dear Guillaume,
    Thanks for your response.
    Please seem my comments inline:
    Which Project Server version do you use?
    PS 2010
    It is working well and as expected for all projects except for 1 specific project?
    Yes. It is working well for other projects except 1 project.
    Has this project something particular?
    Nope. It is similar as other projects.
    How do you proceed to create the new project site? Do you go to the site actions, then new site and pick up your new template?
    First I have modified 1 of the project site and saved that site as a template.
    Then, I have deleted the existing project site (from Project Sites under Operational Policies) and recreated so that project site will gets created from the new template. But, it's not happening.
    Regards,
    Shravan

  • Old Logic + a new Mac = can't open old projects anymore. De/re-install?

    Hi everybody,
    maybe someone can advise me with this problem:
    I bought a new Mac recently, did install a fresh OSX 10.5 and then used migration assistant to transfer my old user account from my old Mac (10.4), incl. all files. It did take a night, but it worked - or so I thought. Actually all applications work as they should, except for Logic. I had to re-authorize a few plug-ins, but then all seemed to be cool. I can open a new project, record audio, midi, add plug-ins, all cool. But I ended up with 3 problems, which are really annoying:
    1) EXS24 couldn't find most of the samples anymore. Most, not all. I have 4 internal HDs, one for the system, one for audio recordings, one for samples, one for "other stuff". 2 of these disks came from the old Mac, 2 new ones, content copied from old Mac. In the EXS prefs I set "search for samples" to "all volumes", but it still didn't work perfectly. Finally I bought EXSManager Pro and now it seems to work again. I didn't try ALL samples yet, but the +/- 20 EXS instruments I tried, did load all samples.
    2) Space Designer doesn't load impulse responses for the presets anymore. They're there and at the right place. I can load SD and import an existing impulse file, no problem. But the presets don't find the required files anymore.
    3) Now - and this is the worst one - I can't open old projects anymore. I just can't. It starts loading, I see the rainbow thing (don't know the right word), it turns black & white and that's it. You can watch this forever and nothing happens.
    Regarding all 3 issues:
    I don't get any error messages. Logic doesn't crash, I can't click 'apple-.' to stop loading/searching. It just doesn't open the file. I had a coffee, a pizza, I let it try for 2 hrs+, but neither did it load a SD preset or an old song file. All I can do is manually quit Logic.
    But when I open Logic with the CTRL-button down and click "no" to core audio I can open all songs. Of course I can not hear a tone then, but it's all there. Opening a song takes 3 secs then. I tried to safe a song then with a different name, re-started Logic with core audio but same result. It get's "stuck".
    Of course I checked user permissions and all the usual trouble shooting clicks, but still Logic has a mind of it's own. I installed a 2nd user with admin rights, though still the same, plus all the 3rd party plug-ins refusing to work.
    Now I was thinking, should I de-install Logic and re-install from the original CDs maybe. And if so, is there anything special I have to take care of? Like manually removing any prefs or cache files?
    Or completely re-install the whole Mac? (pleeease no....)...
    If anybody has any idea, it'd be highly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance and for the energy to read my little novel here,
    cheers,
    Joern

    Ok, either my question was too long or nobody seems to have an answer. Sad, either way
    Here's something I found out in the meantime, maybe this is interesting for somebody or maybe - problem's not totally solved - enough info for any of you to give me further advice.
    When I start Logic Core Audio driver de-activated, I can open old songs. Then I save them in a new folder with all audio files and a new name. And I remove all EXS24 instruments as well as the Space Designer. I quit Logic, re-open with Core Audio activated and I can open the song.
    Problem no.1: EXS24 instruments don't find the appropriate samples, but EXSMananger Pro did help me with this. Same problem with Space Designer, which doesn't find the impulse responses, connected to a certain preset.
    Two questions, every idea would be great!
    - Is there any way to teach Space Designer Presets where to look for impulse respones. I can load IR samples directly and create a new preset, but I can't use my old ones.
    - Is it possible to install Logic from scratch over an existing version? Or how should I de-install everything connected with Logic and then install a fresh version from CD?
    Thank you again,
    Joern

  • I upgraded my 3 yr old iMac to Snow Leopard and now my HP C4150 Scanning function doesn't work (not recognized).  I downloaded updated Drivers from the HP site, but still no joy.  Any suggestions?

    I upgraded my 3 yr old iMac to Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) and now my HP C4150 Scanning function doesn't work (not recognized).  I downloaded updated Drivers from the HP site and installed them, but still no joy.  Any suggestions?

    aspaceman,
    Perhaps I owe you an apology.   Having re-read that downloading from HP was unsuccessful I feel uncomfortable.  Can I suggest you update your 10.6 system (as noted in your profile) to 10.6.8 (if it is not already there) by using the
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 combo update plus any software updates that then apply.  

  • Editing Old Project from External Hard Drive

    Last year my G5 developed an incurable Kernel error issue. I decided to buy a new iMac and have been very pleased. I backed up my system to an external hard drive and now I would like to access an old project from the external drive.
    I selected the external drive and went to the last date of my backup. However, this is where I have no idea how to complete this task. Can I simply open FCE and import the project from the drive? Will all of the media transfer over?
    Would really like to know the ins and outs before I begin and paint myself into a corner. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Tom:
    Not sure what you mean by "restore". I am assuming I will need to do the following:
    1. Open FCE
    2. Import the old project from my external drive
    3. This is where I get lost. Can you please fill in the blanks from her for me. I cannot seem to find the instructions to do this anywhere.
    Thanks!

  • I have an old project with AVCHD clips and I want to import the clips again with surround sound. How can I relink the project clips to the re-imported ones without doing the project from the begining?

    I have an old project with AVCHD clips and I want to import the clips again with surround sound. How can I relink the project clips to the re-imported ones without doing the project from the begining?
    I have a sony handicam and I imported the clips to iMovie and they lost quality and converted the audio to stereo. I want to import the project to final cut X and import the AVCHD in 1080p and surround sound and export the movie in bluray. Can I relink the clips without editing everything again?
    thanks!

    Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
    Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
    You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings
