While Working In Lengthy Project - Locating Event in Events Window

While working on a lengthy project in the project window it would be nice to find my way back to that same section in the events window.
Is there any key stroke that will place the cursor back in the events window at the precise place where I am working in the project window ?

I look forward to upgrading to iWork9 and SL where hopefully this feature will be included.
Thanks

    in imovie 10.0.1 while trying to update projects and events i get a box telling me that imovie could not find any projects or events to update. Help, please.

    Do you have Projects and Events form an earlier version of iMovie?

  • HT6012 While trying to update projects and events from a previous version of iMovie to iMovie '11, someone forced iMovie to quit.  Now when I start iMovie '11 and try to update, a message says no projects or events can be found?  Any suggestions?

    While trying to update projects and events from a previous version of iMovie to iMovie '11, someone forced iMovie to quit.  Now when I start iMovie '11 and try to update, a message says no projects or events can be found?  I know there are previous projects and events, and they definitely have not been updated because they do not show up in my iMovie'11 library, events, or projects.  Any suggestions?

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

  • While working on FCPX project, power failed. Power on, restarted, opened FC, Project Library shows blank icon, no clips. Click on icon, nothing happens. Haven't done back-up. Can project be recovered?

    While working on a FXPX project, there was a power failure. Power back on, restarted FCPX, project name in Project Library is a blank icon, nothing happens when I click on it. Believing back ups were automatic and continuous, I made no back up. Can the project be recovered?

    Years of fine internet use via WIFI then randomly it starts dropping then one day (weeks later) it is no longer accessible at all and even saying "No hardware installed" when I click on WIFI icon at the top right on screen. Here is how I finally fixed it!:
    For six months I wallowed in this problem and had to connect my macbook pro to the internet via ethernet cable which as you can image was very restrictive :/
    I have had numerous laptop technicans befuddled by this WIFI problem and most concluding with how my WIFI card must be broken and that I will need to buy a new one. The last suggestion I had on the matter was to buy a USB wifi dongle.
    So I ended up buying this one, http://www.asus.com/nz/Networking/USBN10_NANO/Unfortunately my macbook pro didn't want to read the install disc and it didn't autorun so it didn't work. After reading more forums I saw that you could download the program from the net and sure enough it worked.. BUT STRANGER when I took the USB dongle out the WIFI was still working!! The program appears to have reminded my four year old macbook pro that it is indeed WIFI capable.
    So to find this miraculous program its located herehttp://www.asus.com/nz/Networking/USBN10_NANO/HelpDesk_Download/
    Same link as above just under SUPPORT>Driver&Tools
    You then click on a file when its downloaded and a file called MAC will appear, then click on install. Within 5 minutes you should have your WIFI back. My macbook pro crashed again today but without having to get the shortest ethernet cable you've ever seen out again - I was able to install the program again and WIFI was up and running once more. Moral of the story - didn't need to spend any money to fix this and not even using the USB dongle.
    So happy!! Hope it works for you too!
    This also worked on a MacBook that lost its WIFI when a user accounts password was changed and the keychain password wasn't known to them - another random way to lose WIFI apparently

  • Speedgrade CC 2014 becoming increasingly slow while working on a project that was direct linked from Premiere CC.

    Speedgrade CC 2014 direct link from Premiere Pro CC 2014.  The application is becoming increasingly slow when making any adjustment or just selecting any buttons on screen.  While working for and hour on my project it is now bordering unresponsive.  In addition it is causing the Finder to become slow and any other applications such as Safari and Mail. 
    I'm on a Mac Pro5,1 OS 10.8.5, 6-core intel xeon 2.93GHz, 16gb Ram, Ati Radeon HD 5770 and NVIDEA Quadro 4000 cards. 
    I'm hoping this is just a setting in speed grade and not a bug.

    First, Davinci and  the Adobe DVA's (digital video apps) utilize resources very differently from each other. That said, your hardware is making me green ...
    This is something that should fly on your system, so ... I would definitely suggest my previous thing of running that benchmark testing ... it will tell you how your system runs the Adobe stuff, and indicate if anything could be modified so it would work better. Some people with FAR less a system than you're running fly through a DL session. Even my system with only four "real" cores (8 "logical" ones ... whatever ... ), 16Gb RAM, and a GTX770/4Gb vRAM and multiple internal & eSATA drives to split things up for throughput sustained stuff, has been running pretty smoothly. Even though it wasn't using much of the video card, which screams for many people in the Adobe DVA's. This latest set of improvements has pretty much nearly eliminated Sg using it ... so we'll have to puzzle out WHAT is causing Sg and the other apps to ignore my card when in identical setups it's a real beast.
    That's the kind of thing that can drive the engineers up the wall. Some of the systems that have had terrible problems such that users have been on here complaining that "no on could possibly be running "serious professional footage & effects" on a system like theirs, didn't you idiots test it?" ... have received the response ... that Kevin or Al or someone is running a completely identical system to almost all tiny respects ... and is flying with 6k footage running a ton of PrPro & Ae effects then worked heavy in Sg. And coasting at it. Not that they at all challenge that the user's system is nearly unusable at the moment ... but figuring out why on two nearly identical setups it works so differently can be rather tedious with hundreds of thousands of lines of code involved, various plugins, and maybe a 2/3rds moon on the third Tuesday.
    Like mine. I know quite a few people use this card on the Adobe apps and it's really flying for them. It's been re-installed twice on mine, Windows and all monitoring systems see it fine, but ... even after multiple installs and CC cleaner attempts and such it's not "seen" properly by any Adobe app. So ... off  to run the benchmark to see what all in my system is doing fine ... and if there's any hint as to why that card isn't getting used.
    Also ... it would maybe be useful to get Dennis Weinmann or Fran Roig to jump in, maybe get a sample of your project file or info on those LUT's or something, to see if they've got any ideas. Trouble is most of Adobe's staff is on Winter Break for the next week plus.

  • Is it possible to render previews on one computer while working on the project on another?

    Hi!
    Even with CS5 and a cuda card I still need to render a lot since I'm using lossless image sequences as my intermediate forms.
    Would it be possible to take advantage of having multiple computers while working with Premiere? Maybe one computer could be dedicated just for preview rendering while the other one could be used for regular editing simultaneously? Is there anything on the market that does this?
    I welcome any discussion on the subject!
    Thanks!

    About the only thing you can do with Premiere is export out a sequence in the background while you continue working, then bring that back into Premiere and lay it down above the original sequence.
    Of course, if you wish to continue working on the same sequence, this won't work.
    Background rendering would be a very welcome addition to Premiere.  Hell even Encore can do that.

  • Disk appears twice in Project and Event window

    There seems to be a bug in iMovie that causes the default disk to appear twice in the project and event viewer if you have a symbolic link in the path.
    For years I have used a symlink to allow me to locate my Users area onto a second drive. This keeps all my user data separate from the more generic system data. Occasionally an application gets confused by this link and this seems to be the case with iMovie.
    I think what is happening is that iMovie is trying to list my home directory which by default is usually on Macintosh HD/Users/louie but when it hits the symlink at /Users -> /Volumes/DataDisk/Users it sees this is actually on drive DataDisk. Then I think it looks for all mounted volumes and it finds DataDisk again and doesn't realize that this is already recorded and includes it again.
    Other than this odity it seems to work just fine. If I add a project or event, initially it appears in only one of the DataDisk entries in iMovie. Then if I restart iMovie the new project and/or event will show under both entries. The actual project and events are correcty created in my ~/Movies directory.
    -louie

    I don't know an easy way to fix that if you are using a symlink.
    Click on this link for some good information about how to set up your home folder in a different location. You can set it up on OSX where you will not need a symlink. On the other hand, if its working well for you, may be best to leave it alone.

  • I undocked a panel while working on a project how can I get back to the original setting?

  • While working in iMovie, computer shut down and all imported clips from that project disappeared. The project still existed, with titles, but all video clips were gone from the movie as well as the computer library.

    Clips were imported from SD card into iMovie project. While working on the project, computer shut down. When restarted, all clips from that event were no longer in the project, or in the computer library. Project existed, with titles, but blank spaces exist where clips had been.

    OH MY GOD! This EXACT thing just happened to me! It didn't save my event and didn't show the date in the iMovie library but if I look under all projects, the project is there. Except that there are little blank place holders where all my clips were. Also the title of the project has a little yellow "!" symbol next to it which I can only assume means that the file is corrupted.
    I can't believe it destroyed like 8 hours of work!
    I have a 15" mid 2011 MBP and Mavericks OS.

  • On project load, CC7.2 on Windows 8 forces me to change scratch disk location away from Mac-formatted external HDD

    When I open a project saved on my external hard drive it wants to change the scratch disks to My Documents Folder.
    Once I accept it, it opens the project and then I am actually able to change the scratch disks back. Weird.
    It's worth mentioning that my external drive is formatted for Mac and I bought a driver from Paragon allowing my PC to read and write to it. Idk if this is where Pr gets confused.
    Windows 8.0
    Pr CC latest update (todays date: 19 dec 13)
    I hope someone is able to fix it.

    Hi frbra1,
    The reason why you are getting this prompt is just beacause the files that are saved on your scratch disk while working on MAC have location "/Volume/name of the HD/program or file name", but when you connect that drive to windows the location changes to "Drive Name:\" . So. it is the adressing issue of the drive that you are facing with the drives. It is alo not always necessary that the drives get same name when they are attached to the machine.
    Regards,
    Vinay

  • Project and Event Mgmt - Revisited

    I started a discussion a few weeks ago about how to manage FCP x projects and events.
    That discussion is here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15630947#15630947
    However, as I look more closely at my workflow as permitted by FCPx I have a quandary that I suspect others have as well.
    Once I have created an event and a related project in the Events and Projects folder respectively, the question arises as what to do with those elements when you are done for the time being with both.
    I have created a large number of projects, each with their own event.  As I move on from them, I would find it useful to have them not show up in the active Project and Event lists in FCP X.  But I do want to get back to them from time to time.
    The wisdom seems to be to not move those project & event folders elsewhere with Finder, but to use FCP X Move Project instead. 
    But here is the quandary.
    If  you don't want to Move them to an external drive (and I would like to avoid that), the only other solution seems to be to move them to a sparseimage disk which can be mounted and dismounted whenever needed.  The problem with the sparseimage approach involves backing up with Time Machine.
    My tests (and survey of the boards) indicate that whenver you add a file to the sparsebundle disk image, the entire sparsebundle is backed up to the Time Capsule drive.  That eats up TC storage in a hurry.
    So, has anyone got any suggestions as to what to do with projects and events that you don't want to see on a current basis in the FCPx lists, but do want to get back to them from time to time.

    Rex,
    As a freelance editor I'm always working on multiple projects and use this workflow to hide, show or backup projects and events.
    As your aware while working on a project/event, these need to exists in the Final Cut Events folder and the Final Cut Projects folder.
    In order to hide an event, simply move the event or events from the main Final Cut Events directory, back one level.
    Example: I'm currently working on a productions where the events live on my Machintosh HD. First I create a folder called Final Cut Events HIDE.
    Under your Home Directory/Movies/Final Cut Events/ move the event you'd like to hide to the Final Cut Event HIDE folder.
    Be sure Final Cut Pro X has been quite.
    When you re-open Final Cut Pro X, you should have a empty event library.
    If you'd like to re-work on these events, simple quite Final Cut Pro X, drag and drop your "hidden" event or events back into the Final Cut Events folder, re-open FCP X, and there you have it.
    Use this exact same approach for projects.
    Regarding backup, you can manually backup your events/projects, however I only do this if the edit is completely finished and exists in my Final Cut Pro HIDE folders. All I then do is copy and paste to a backup HD.
    Hope that helps.

  • Why does my screen turn black when I play iTunes while working on iPhoto?

    Why does my screen turn black when I play ITunes while working on iPhoto? I can't click off of the screen but get a message that reads Shut down computer by pressing button in back then turn computer back on by pushing button in back. That's followed by Chinese letters (which I cannot read). I have had other problems when playing iTunes (actually, a radio station on the Internet) while working on  iPhoto. Before, I got a window that would pop up and tell me I had no disk space available, that I would have to quit applications that were open. Not many were open.
    It would be nice if I could solve this problem once and for all.
    Thanks in advance for all the suggestions. I truly appreciate your help.
    Jan

    That was easy. Thanks. Jan

  • After not working on a project for a while, my renders disappear

    I've been working on a project on and off for a couple months. And this is the 2nd time now that I've left the project for a few weeks. When I come back to it, all my rendered footage is gone.
    I'm importing 720p HD footage (.mov) so I need to render everything in order for it to play smoothly in the project. A few small bits of render to remain, such as titles.
    This is probably something simple. But could someone clarify what's going on, and if theres something I can do to prevent this.
    Thanks

    Well I wanted to chalk this up to some kind of mistake on my part (which it probably is). But the renders are definitely disappearing, perhaps not on there own, but without my knowingly doing so.
    Here's my guess: my project data gets stored in the default My Documents location of a Windows XP x64 installation. But I have a dualboot with GNU/Linux. While I don't normally use the NTFS partition where the premiere project data is stored, sometimes it does get mounted. After working on a project a couple weeks ago, I just came back to it, only to find that the entire render bar above the timeline is red instead of the green that I had left it when I last worked on the project.
    Additionally the directories titled 'Adobe Premiere Pro Preview Files' and 'Media Cache Files' both have a subdirectory with files specific to my project, and those subdirectories are still full of the render data.
    So first off, regardless of what may be causing this problem, is there anyway to force Premiere to look at a certain location to re-find the render files?
    Second, would my hypothesis of Linux mounting the parition where the Premiere data is saved make sense why the renders 'disappear'? Any other ideas what might be causing this?
    Thanks

  • Project file disappeared while working!!!!

    Hello, l work on a double dual core 3ghz intel mac, 8 gig of ram and a load of disk space (2 tera). Good machine. I've been editing on a network drive (full of space and very quick, far enough for sp DV, wich is the format I'm on). Now everything is working fine, no problem of anykind, files where captured on a local drive so no problem with a 2 gig file limitation. So all cool... but then suddenly while working, I choose to save my project (save) and the system tells me "file error". Impossible to save on the original location on the network. When I browse to the folder where the project is, the file has disappeared... Now the funny part comes: if I look at the same folder on an other machine, either mac or
    PC, I can definitely see the file!! It's there (good to know it's the old version, before the save and error message, so it wasn't saved at all when the problem occured). It's there but on the machine from wich I had the problem it isn't!!!! It's the second time this arrises, first time I thought "that's odd", but now it seems to me as a major issue. Hopefully when the problem came, after the "file error" message I could still save the project in another location, so I didn't loose any work - if this happens to you.
    Did anyone experience this very annoying and worrying situation? Is there a solution?
    Many thanks!

    PS almost forgot: if I disconnect the network drive and then reconnect it, the file is available again...

    Hello
    I think I am in the middle of a similar problem and I am not on a network. This was also going aon a few months ago.
    I would save the project and it wouldn't show up in the finder (even though I was sitting there using and working the project) or I would try to save and I would get a warning such as Unknonw file or general error.. So I would save a new version which would be fine, then that wouldn't save, and so on.... And yes if I closed the finder window and reopened it the file I saved would sometimes appear. I really couldn't figure it out. It happened on a few projects but I couldn't see any rhyme or reason.
    Eventually I reloaded FCP and all the updates again. Everything was going fine. Until last night. First I couldn't save (got the unknown file message) and then.... (arround the same time) One of my Hard drives lost all but one locked (Indesign) file!!! 148GB of media (FCP,quciktime,renders, etc) files, no warning! poof! gone! The drive was still there and passed all verification and didn't need any repair (using disc utility), all the info was gone! And I never touched it! Interestingly, I don't believe the project I was working on at the time had much to do with the Drive that lost everything. But the project I opened up just after the save problem occured did. When it opened with all of it's media "offline" (which had definitely been there earlier in the day)I discovered the disc issue.
    OK, don't know if that helps, yes I've experienced similar but don't have the answer, yet.
    Good Luck!

  • IMovie quits while copying projects and events to an external HD. Any ideas?

    Here is my problem: i was running out of disk space and wanted to move my projects and events to a new, external WD hard drive. I followed to normal procedure and moved the projects within iMovie 11 to the new (meanwhile connected and displayed) WD drive. I selected to copy both, projects and events to this drive and iMovie started copying. After a while the prog crashed. Does anyone have an idea what else I can do? Is this a bug of iMovie?

    I found the solution and just want to share with you...
    1. I closed iMovie
    2. I renamed my existing root folder projects and events by adding a '_' at the beginning of the folder name.
    3. I copied all my content (projects and events) within the finder and not as normally recommended within iMovie from the internal to the new external hard drive.
    4. When starting iMovie again the newly copied folder are recognized and it takes a while (depending of the amount of clips and projects) until iMovie is available after this start.
    5. The events and projects are now shown in the new external harddrive and all files are accesible. Also all clips from the events are correctly linked in the projects.
    I have tried this way since the normal decribed routine did not work on my iMac (iMovie crashed every time).
