Final Cut Pro X :: Copying Files Between Libraries / Drives?

Dec 11, 2014

I have two drives open.  I've created different Libraries, one for each drive.  I want to move a 'project' or a 'clip' from one Library/drive to another.  I drag and drop.  Will the project/clip moving from one Library/drive to another bring in the relevant original media?  (And I believe I have to recreate any Proxy files, is that right?)  And will the original media (copied) now be found in the importing Library?  Or in the folders I've set up for THAT Library.  I've been trying to keep my media in separate folders so my Libraries open fast. 

That would be a related question perhaps?  I'm trying to keep my Libraries small, so they open and close fast; and can be backed up on another 'small' drive; and my assumption has been that if I put my original media, project backups etc., assigned to designated folders (NOT in the Library file) that this will be the case - faster working with the Libraries, smaller Library files I can back up on other drives.

MacBook Pro :: IOS 7.1.2 / Merging Hard Drives With Similar Libraries?

Sep 8, 2014

I have two external hard drives with very similar iTunes libraries. The older one has some albums that the newer one does not, the new one has more albums from some of the artists as well as new artists. I have tried moving the files before and ended up loosing a lot of content. What is the best way to merge all of the music onto one hard drive while ensuring that a file with more information isn't being overwritten by a file with less information with the same name?

Final Cut Pro X :: Phantom Libraries - Unable To Delete

Jun 2, 2014

So, I did some archving (simply dragging old libraries and projects over to a different storage drive.) 

However, some of the libraries STILL appeared in my browser. ...but WITHOUT the purple library symbol. And... no contents appear when you click the arrow... AND... I can't delete them? (They do NOT show up on the HD, thus I can't delete them in the finder, either.) What gives?

iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), 32GB RAM 3.4Ghz i7 FCPX 10.1.1

Final Cut Pro X :: Upgraded To 10.1.3 - Loads Libraries Then Crashes

Aug 28, 2014

I upgraded to FCPX 10.1.3 with no issues. Libraries loaded and all was well. I drag and dropped a video on the timeline and FCPX stalled, then crashed. Now, when I attempt to open it up it loads the libraries, sits for a few minutes and then crashes. 

I have repaired permissions.

Trashed FCPX preferences.

Ran a maintenance program (Onyx) 

I have a Time Machine backup that I accessed and brought 10.1.2 back into my apps folder (so now I have both). When opening 10.1.2 it asks to import my libraries. If I do this will I lose data or will it ruined my libraries. My only backup of the FCPX libraries is an online backup (backblaze) and will take years to restore.  

2 Questions: 

1. How do I troubleshoot my issue with 10.1.3?

2. Can I downgrade (already on my system) to 10.1.2 and when I import libraries that have been imported to 10.1.3 into 10.1.2 will Iose data? 

Processor: 2.93 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 24GB
Storage: 1TB internal, 9 TB external (FCPX scratch disk is a 4TB GRaid)
OS: Mavericks 10.9.4 

Here is the crash report:

Process:         Final Cut Pro [1967]
Path:            /Applications/Final Cut Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/Final Cut Pro
Identifier:      com.apple.FinalCut
Version:         10.1.3 (251130)

Final Cut Pro X :: How To Save All Libraries Into External Hard Drive

Nov 30, 2014

I recently purchased an external hard drive to store my Final Cut Pro projects, and what I would like to happen is that I see projects stored on my computer when the drive is not plugged in I would like to see the projects stored on my computer. If this is not possible I would at least like to be able to see the project stored on my drive and edit them Final Cut Pro. I only see the projects on my computer in Final Cut Pro even when the hard drive is plugged in and it has projects on it. I basically want to store my Final Cut Pro projects and be able to edit them on my external drive. (final cut pro 10.1.3 latest build of Yosemite)

Final Cut Pro X :: Copying Library To New HD And Sound Drops Out

Aug 30, 2014

I have tried to copy a consolidated library (156GB) to another drive.  I have tried this twice and everything seems to be there, however when I play the project, the sound drops out in many places. (Both dialog and music tracks)  Is there a way to copy the library to a new drive and not have problems?  Should I "copy events to to a new library"?

Final Cut Pro X :: Media Not Copying Into Event When Drag And Dropped?

Jun 21, 2014

When I add media files into an event by dragging and dropping the file into the project the file does not get moved/copied 'Macintosh's HD Projects' folder. 

Is there a setting somewhere I can change so dragging and dropping behaves the same way as when I use CMD+I to import a file? 

I am using the most up-to-date version of FCPX in Mavericks.

Software :: Files Disappearing After Copying / Newly Copied Files Missing From New Location

Dec 25, 2010

This only happens when she copies files between internal hard drives. After copying the files, she verifies that files exist in both locations. She then deletes the files in the old location. Then, newly copied files are missing from the new location.

I've never heard of this happening before, except for with improperly unmounted external drives. I have run disk utility and verified that there are no problems with either drive.

IMac :: Stop Downloading Files/copying To Clipboard And Saving Files To Desktop?

Nov 29, 2009

Why does my mac stop downloading files, copying to clipboard, saving files to desktop, etc?

iMac g5 1.9 ghz 17" running 10.5.8. Had a hard drive crash and bought a new one. Loaded new OS leapord. Everything works fine at first, but after the computer has been on for a while, it will stop downlading files, disk verify doesn't work. I can't copy and paste stuff. It seems as if the hard drive is full, but I have only used 32GB of 300GB.

When I restart, it works again, then slowly not. Is it an overheating issue? How do I know if my fan is running? Is it a bad hard drive I put in it? Bought it new with three year waranty.

Software :: Files Disappearing While Copying / Newly Copied Files Missing From New Location

Jul 2, 2009

On several separate occasions, one of our users has had trouble with files "disappearing."

This only happens when she copies files between internal hard drives. After copying the files, she verifies that files exist in both locations. She then deletes the files in the old location. Then, newly copied files are missing from the new location.

I've never heard of this happening before, except for with improperly unmounted external drives. I have run disk utility and verified that there are no problems with either drive.

Could anyone help explain why this is happening or how to prevent it?

ITunes :: Migrating ITunes Libraries From 2 Drives

Sep 21, 2010

On my G5 Tower, I had two hard drives. HD1 has all my applications & such, while HD2 is larger & contains all my working files. HD2 also was where I was keeping my iTunes Music Library. At some point during an OS 10.5 upgrade, iTunes created a new Music Library on HD1 and began saving all new music & podcasts to that file. It was still recognizing the music in the HD1 disc Library, so I didn't notice this issue for a while. Now I have the new i7 iMac with the 1TB HD. I've pulled everything from the old G5 Tower over via Target Mode, and that captured everything from HD1. Target Mode didn't recognize the HD2, so I copied those files over manually (likely mistake number one).

Once I fired up iTunes on the iMac, it saw the music & stuff from the Music Library on HD1, but there was an exclamation mark on the songs that were from HD2. Went to File > Library > Organize Library & clicked that, but nothing happened. Reading on the Apple Support Forum, I noticed that someone posted about going to Preferences > Advanced > iTunes Media Folder Location, and putting in the location of the older Music Library on HD1. Did that, and then ran Organize Library, but that didn't do much other than mark ALL my songs with an exclamation point (can't find). So at this point, rather than jack things around even more, I'll run this up the flagpole & see if any of you Apple-savvy people has a solution for me. Know I can go into iTunes & do a song-by-song re-link of all the files, but at 9233 items, that would kind of take a while.

Final Cut Pro X :: Isn't Recognizing External Hard Drives

Final Cut Pro X :: Sharing Library On Two Machines / Two Hard Drives?

Sep 3, 2014

On Final Cut Pro 7, I would have my computer with an external hard drive with footage and I would edit on that. I would then email the small project file to a co-editor who would pick up where I left off. It was a very fast baton pass because he had his own computer with a clone of my external hard drive with the footage. We would pass the baton back and forth all the time. 

I am trying to figure out how I can do this in Final Cut Pro X. I understand you can transfer/copy the library, but that would involve copying 100s of GBs at a time. Possibly TBs. And please note that I'm not just looking to copy sequences alone (or "projects" as they're now called in FCP X). In FCP7, the project file would contain all organization, labeling, tagging, etc of all clips, as well as all sequences. 

Is there a way two pass the baton in the way I am looking for? This is imperative to my workflow.

Applications :: Adding Files To Multiple ITunes Libraries?

Oct 3, 2010

Is there a way to add files to multiple iTunes libraries simultaneously?

I currently store all my media on a network drive; so I don't want to copy the same file to multiple locations. Instead, after the DVD is ripped I'd like to have the movie added to two different libraries. Simply copying the iTunes library from my primary computer won't work. The library on my primary computer, has all my personal song ratings and playlists. The second computer is connected to a TV to be used as a HTPC and is more of a family computer. I would like to be able to maintain different playlists for this computer.

Essentially is there an easy way to make sure any new files added (or modified) to my primary iTunes library are also added to another iTunes library?

Applications :: ITunes Options When 2 Libraries Share Files?

May 4, 2009

I have a centralized network location where I store my "iTunes Music" directory. This location contains all the media (music and video), but no library information. We have 2 computers with separate libraries that use the files on this network drive. Each computer has its own set of playlists, podcast subscriptions, and devices (ipods and iphones) that attach to it. I set it up this way so we would not duplicate files, but so that each computer could be customized to each user.

Final Cut Studio :: Copying MTS File From SD Card To Hard Disk - File Info Cannot Be Read?

Sep 2, 2014

I am willing to save on my hard disk the content of a SD card that contains mts files that I can access via AVCHD, BDMV, STREAM.

When I copy the whole SD card to save on my hard disk, I get an error message saying that the copy cannot proceed because one of the file contains information that cannot be read.

I was told on this group, that changing the structure of the AVCHD folder should not be changed. Can I delete the file that contains a bug ? or will I screw up the AVCHD folder ?

My question is, when I get the MacBook, how can I copy all my files from my current Windows-based external HDD, onto the MacBook?

I am mostly concerned in saving my pictures and songs if it makes a difference.

OS X :: Copying Files Without Redundancy?

Jun 4, 2010

When backing up files to an external drive, I end up overwriting the older versions of files that were previously backed up. Is there a way to copy files from one place to another, but just have files that have been changed to update?

Kind of like how Time Machine or Drop Box works. It just senses changed files and overwrites those, but doesn't recopy unchanged files.

Software :: Copying Files From X86 To Ppc?

Jan 15, 2009

I am trying to move some files from an x86 machine to a ppc machine. Both are running Mac OS X 10.4 The files have some extended attributes set for them.

Hence, I used the tar utlity to create an archive and then moved the archive.

However, the file data is moved correctly but all the extended attributes are lost Why is this?

I learnt that all extended attributes are stored in the resource fork.

Both the machines have the HFS+ filesystem.

Hence, even the resource forks must get copied right?

OS X :: Copying Files Over The Network To A Windows PC?

Dec 15, 2010

I have 13 files totalling about 4.5GB on my new MBP that I've tried to copy over the network to my Windows PC. The actual copy process itself indicates that all 4.5GB of data has been copied across, but on the Windows PC only 6 of the 13 files actually appear, so somewhere in the process the other 7 files have been 'lost'. Has anyone got any idea what could be going on here and how and where the other files have vanished to even though the MBP indicates the data has been copied over?
