from laptop to desktop
Did some editing on the road on a laptop. My machine in the office is running Premiere along with a Matrox 100 card. Reading the directions from the Matrox site I copied my files and such from the laptop to my desktop and imported the project. Everything is fine except it is shown as one clip on the timeline, not showing any of my cuts or titles or effects. Is this normal? It is as I made a new sequence. Is there a way to import this so I can still see my original edits ? I should state the timeline plays fine , showing the correct titles and transitions.
thank you
Tom

If you network the machines, open the project in Premiere (Pro?) on the laptop, and select Project/Project Manager/Create New Trimmed Project and set Project Destination to be on the desktop, you’ll get an exact replica of your project over there. The original project on the laptop will remain intact, but of course after you begin editing on the desktop it’ll become obsolete.
I’ve gone to keeping each project on an external USB2 hard drive so that I can simply plug it in to the machine I want to use for editing. 3.5″ drives perform much, much better than laptop drives, so I do the same thing for that case, even though it’s one more thing to haul. A nice rolly TravelPro laptop case helps.
