moving sequences between projects

Hello User Group,

I am looking for some solutions for an issue we're having.

I am working on an independent feature film (FCP 6.0.6 on OS 10.4.11) on 3 separate systems (on 3 cloned drives with the same media). The editor's system is the primary system and the director and me (the AE) will be on our laptops. I am looking for the fastest, least complicated way to take the work from the 2 laptops and bring them into the primary system.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

What's wrong with just moving project files around? You said it's all the same media, so you shouldn't even need to relink anything.

Same media...exact same file structure and hard drive name...like Jeff said, just swap projects. Everything will relink fine. Except for renders....you'll have to do those again.

hi, spencer.

i've cut a few features using the same basic workflow as yours (mulitple station, duplicated media)
we copy and paste the work into a new project, and hand that over.

this can be saved with a descriptive name & a date.
this makes it terribly easy to hand over to the editor,
(it's smaller, and self-descriptive)
and it's then "in the system"

as the editor, i don't want to wait while a large project opens,
then have to hunt around inside it for the latest sequences.

my assistant does their work,
saves a small project to a folder in my drive ("from Assistant" or whatever)
this folder is sorted by date on my end, so i just open the uppermost project.

i open it and copy paste the sequence back into mine.
works for me!


cheers,
nick
