Versions in my Projects that are Masters

When I import an image into Aperture and it goes into a Project, if I delete this Image by going to "Delete Version" this deletes the Version and the "Master" (wherever /it/ is) without a warning is that right? I ask in part because the Aperture Documentation states specifically that there are both "Masters" and "Versions" in Projects in a managed images database and this is uber confusing.
Also, if I import an image into Aperture and it goes into a Project, and then I create an Album and drag and drop this "Version" into the Album - so that there is a "Version" in the Album - if I go to "Delete Version" from within the Album, Aperture will delete the Version in the Album *AND* it will delete the "Version" in the Project without a warning, is that right?
Both of these appear to be the case no matter how many "Versions" of the image you have in a Project or have copied to an Album.
I guess I have found it terribly confusing for Aperture to be /then/ giving me a Warning Dialog that says I am deleting a "Master" that may be referenced from other Albums. Because I personally am MORE concerned with deleting the /original images/ that I have imported which I can do from within Projects or from within Albums without any alert.
Am I missing something here?
THANKS.

Yeah. This just seems very weird to me.
I mean, I /really/ care about deleting my Masters and I get no warning about this whatsoever in any cases (deleting from a Project or Deleting a Version from an Album). I could be deleting a Version in an Album and accidentally think that I have another Version in another Album and poof away goes the Master when this is not what I thought I was doing.
And the warning that /does/ come when you are going to delete a Master from within a Project /sounds/ like it is about deleting a Master - - that by the way /may/ or that may /not/ be linked to an Album. When in reality it is simply telling you the Version in the Album is going away. Then if you delete a Master that /doesn't/ have one of those links to a Version in an Album you get /no/ warning. Yikes.
I think they need to clear up the language on the prompt IMHO because right now it is uber confusing. And really there should be two:
I: "You are deleting a Version in an Album that will also delete the Version which is a Master in a Project".
II: "You are deleting a Master from a Project which will also delete a Version that is contained in an Album".

    All my finished projects that are in the Library infected with the same symptoms and it happens only after I went into the problematic project.  
    I tried to open a new project and everything works
    ...I also tried throwing Recent Files, in the past It solved the problem ,not this time ...
    the problem is that this project will take me a long, long time to rebuild

    This recently happened to me.  I am a novice, but it seemed like that project got corrupted some how.
    I deleted it.
    Went to time machine and picked it up again when I knew it was working ok.
    I lost a few hours of work, but not the entire project.
    Once I had the project back from time machine, it worked fine (but like I said, I lost a little bit of work).

  • How can I save iMovie projects that are in process to my external hard drive?

    I am working on several iMovie projects that won't be finalized until I have collected all raw footage.  I want to save what I have done thus far to my external hard drive.  I have tried to click and drag tot he drive but it won't drop.  What am I missing?

    OK you need to click VIEW/EVENTS BY DISK in iMovie. Then you can drag within iMovie. You must hold the Command key down as you drag, or you will COPY not MOVE.
    If you are trying to save space, the large files are in the Events. You can also move them by Command Drag within iMovie.

  • IDVD 5 won't burn any of my projects that are over an hour

    I'm okay if I can background encode a project--it seems to burn fine.
    Since I can't background encode a project that's over an hour, these will not burn properly...
    any ideas?

    Hi Patricia
    One more thing.
    iDVD and iMovie work is very dependant on that there is lot's of free space
    on Your internal hard disk.
    less than 10Gb - You get most probably problems or no DVD burning at all.
    I use to recommend 25Gb free - this is more than needed but it will work
    so much better/faster.
    Why ?
    iDVD needs space to calculate and store the DVD in construction
    Mac OS is in reallity UNIX and UNIX uses lots of temp-files AND virtual
    memory managments = Lot's of time consumed to handle this and the
    result is extreme DVD burnings times - if it results in anything at all
    (often happening and confusing)

  • How do I combine projects that are currently on different computers?

    I am teaching a TV production class with virtually no knowledge of Premiere Pro.  I have students working at four Mac stations.  Is there a way to combine the four projects into one?

    First of all, it's always a good idea to report exactly which version of Premiere you're using--not merely "CC" or "CS6" but the actual version number, like 2014.0.1. The workflow you're asking about happens to have changed considerably over the course of recent releases.
    Premiere allows you to import a whole project or sequences and other content from a project into another.
    Open or create the sequence into which you want to import.
    In Media Browser, find the project to be imported.
    To import the whole project, either drag it from Media Browser to Project panel or right-click it and select Import. In the dialog that pops up, select Import Entire Project.
    To import sequences you can either (a) select Import Selected Sequences in the dialog mentioned in the prior step, or (b) double-click the project in Media Browser, wait for the project's contents to be displayed, and then pick and choose the sequences and other contents to import.
    When you import a sequence, Premiere automatically brings in all assets used in that sequence.
    Where things might get complicated is the location of the actual content--the files on disc. If the clips are stored on each of the 4 workstations, then you'll probably want to copy them to the one that's home to the new project and then relink to them in their new location.

  • Can you purchase NON-HD versions of TV episodes that are available in HD?

    I recently bought an episode of Modern Family (very funny, by the way). It was listed as HD for 2.99. After I downloaded it, a regular non HD version was downloaded in addition to the HD.
    My Question: is there a way to buy just the NON-HD version? I'm just watching on my laptop or iTouch, so I don't need HD. I imagine it might save me $1 per episode...
    Thanks!

    Yes.
    Where it says "In Standard Definition". Click that and it will pull up the Standard Definition version.

  • How do you re-locate an I-movie project that disappears from the project / edit library in i-movie11?

    As a school teacher, I viewed the student's movie project in edit mode and I known it was there. The student was attempting to burn the project to a disc to back it up and it disappeared. The raw video clips are still sitting there but the edited project is no longer visible. I've searched the computer but can't find it anywhere. I think the student renamed the project as they were preparing yo back it up. Any advice on how to locate the project would be appreciated.

    iMovie will only see projects that are in the Home/Movies/iMovie Projects folder (or in the iMovie Projects folder at the top level of an external drive).
    Your student may have moved the project somewhere else. If so, the solution is to move it back, and then restart iMovie.
    The project will have a file extension of .rcproject.
    If you do not know where he might have moved the project, try doing a Spotlight Search on rcproject, and they should all come up. (Spotlight is in the top right corner of your screen).

  • I would like to use GarageBand to remaster downloaded music files that are in iTunes.  Poorly mastered files keep clipping and damaging my speakers.  When I try to use an iTunes file as a new project, it greys out the iTunes songs so I can't select them.

    I would like to use GarageBand to remaster downloaded music files that are in iTunes.  Poorly mastered files keep clipping and damaging my speakers.  When I try to use an iTunes file as a new project, it greys out the iTunes songs so I can't select them.  Any ideas?

    As I said - look whether your original file is damaged or not. If not, I wouldn't change it and find out what in your system makes it sound like it's clipping.
    Good sound file, with volume maxed out. No need to change anything.
    The same song clipped - no chance to repair.

  • I understand that many versions of any pictures are still on my computer (Masters???).  If I have a final I like, how do I delete all the others that are taking up space?

    I understand that many versions of any pictures are still on my computer (Masters???).  If I have a final I like, how do I delete all the others that are taking up space?  I have already put the originals into albums, edited them, and renamed them.  Can I/should I delete all other versions located in Masters, I think?  If I want to keep events, but want them to include the newly edited albums, can I delete the specific event and somehow bring the photos used in the album into a new event.  Understand iPhoto just keeps space or manages photos, so how can I have events that include the edited pix and clean up disk space.  Thanks.
    iPhoto 11 v9.4.2
    using Lion, updated, on iMac Pro.

    It's very simple. If you want to use iPhoto, just let it manage things as it does. Other than that: Export from iPhoto and delete the image from iPhoto. That will remove the master and all versions.
    If space is an issue... use an external disk.
    Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

  • The latest Premier Pro CC 2014 update forced me to convert and create version of my project while guaranteeing that the project would not be altered; however, the timelines are not the up to date versions I had.

    The latest Premier Pro CC 2014 update forced me to convert and create version of my project while guaranteeing that the project would not be altered; however, the timelines/sequences are not the up to date versions I had. I saved different version of this project for various purposes, but they were all named differently(i.e joe and mary wedding, joe and mary wedding 2, joe and mary wedding 3, joe and mary wedding 3.1).  I do not know if they just pulled the timelines from the earliest version, eradicated the data entirely, or something else.
    Since the program prompts me to create and save a new version for the updated premier, I still have the previous projects, but cannot open them.  I imagine they are unchanged, but cannot be sure.
    Thoughts? Is it possible to uninstall an update re-install it later?
    Please advise.
    Thank you.
    Brian

    Also...
    Add to right click menu of timelines an entry for "go to next keyframe" and "go to last keyframe" a la After Effects, we should also be able to assign a kb shortcut to this.
    There are buttons on either side of the create keyframe button to advance forward or backward in the effects control panel or timeline.
    You can also advance forward or backward in the effects control window by holding shift while dragging the playhead.
    Allow copy/paste of selection of audio/video effects, not just one at a time. Sure we can copy/paste attributes but since we can also copy/paste effects it would only make sense to allow to copy/paste a selection of effects.
    I guess I don't get this one. If I have 5 effects on a clip, I can simply command-click on the ones I want to copy over to the other clip.

  • I have photos that are rotated within a photo stream created from a project even though the photo displays properly within the project. How can I get the photos to have the proper rotation within the photo stream?

    I have a photo stream that was created from a subset of photo from a rather large Aperature project. Some of the photos show up rotated within the photo stream but are not rotated within the project. Why is this happening and how do I fix the rotation within the photo stream? I do have the latest version of Aperature and have all of the necessary updates applied to my devices used to view the photo stream. The photos do show up rotated within the photo stream segment of Aperature, so I am sure it is not an issue with the output device (iPad and Apple TV). I do know that I cannot edit photos within a photo stream, but no amount of editing within the project allows the photos to be properly rotated within the photo stream. All help would be greatly appreciated.

    That will work, but it is the long way 'round.
    As Frank noted, Book Albums are just specialized Albums.  Albums can show any Image in your Library, regardless of where the Album is located on the Library Inspector, and regardless of which Project contains the Image.  You can put your Albums anywhere (in a Folder called "Books" for example).  You can put Images from anywhere in your Library in any Album.
    The easy way 'round:
    - Make a new Book Album
    - Select Images you may want to put in your Book.  Flag them.
    - Select some more.  Flag them.
    - Go to the "Flagged" container (listed near the top of the Library Inspector), select all, and drag-and-drop them to your Book Album.
    - Repeat as needed, or just drag-and-drop directly into the Book Album.
    Note that you can remove any Image from any Album (including Books) by selecting and hitting the "{Delete}" key.  This _does not remove the Image from the Project that contains it, or from the Library.
    Note, too, that once the Images are in your Book Album, you then put them in the Book you are creating for publication.  The Book Album contains the superset of Images with which you populate the Book itself.  The Book Album also holds the Book.
    A good (imho ) introduction to the parts of Aperture can be found in this short guide I wrote.
    The User Manual is helpful.  Here is
    the chapter on making Books. 
    From that chapter, here is
    the section detailing how to create and populate a Book Album.

  • HT4591 I have a project that I made in Motion 5.0.1.  I have updated to Motion 5.0.4 since, but the project will no longer open.  Is there a way to revert to Motion Version 5.0.1 at least temporarily so that I can access the project and add a few polishes

    It seems that the 5.0.1 project file has become corrupt.  It was generated on an older MacBook Pro Model (2008) and occasionally acted unpredictably.  We have since upgraded hardware and are working on a much more robust machine, but we need to access this project file to make some final tweaks for the client.
    Is there a way I could revert to Motion 5.0.1 and access this file for the final tweaks?  After these, that project will be laid to rest and I will no longer need an older version of the program.
    Thank you so much for your help guys!  We love Motion.  This is the only issue we've ever run into with the program.
    Best,
    Konstantin

    I had a problem with a 5.0.3 project that would cause 5.0.4 to crash. Apple asked for a copy of the project and later told me it was because there were some empty text layers. Apple is aware of the issue and is working on a fix.
    In my case I still had 5.0.3 on another Mac and could clean up the project. If empty text layers might be the problem, do you know someone with an earlier version who could open it and remove the empty layers? I'd be willing to give it a try if you'd want to send me the project.

  • HT202853 I have many project made in move HD that are not updating to the new iMovie 10 on my new iMac.  Why is this not working as stated?  How do I get my projects back from backup after old iMac crashed?

    I have many projects made in imovie HD that are not updating to iMovie 10 on my new iMac.  Why is this not working as stated on the article HT202853?  How do I get my projects back from backup after old iMac crashed?

    According to:
    Update projects and events from previous versions of iMovie in iMovie (2014) - Apple Support
    you can update from iMovie versions 7, 8 and 9, but iMovie HD is iMovie 6.
    Maybe you can update in two steps, first from iMovie 6 to iMovie 7, 8 or 9 then to iMovie 10.

    the old apps are on my computer but they have had upgrades since they were put on the ipod originally.  you think you would get a warning about this when you restored. I was not worried about losing the progress of the apps but i would have been worried about the app it self!!!!!
