Copy FCP files to disc and use on another Mac
I want to copy my FCP file from my home computer an eMAc G4 I used as an offline editor. I want to use the copied file and recapture my footage at my office Mac a G4 Desktop system. I tried to make a CD and the file was corrupt. Is there any way to accomplish this task? Thanks for your help.

Done it many times. Email, CD, whatever. I think you might just be having a little bad luck. Make sure the work version is at least as new as the home version and try again.

Are you copying the FCP project file? It should work. Are you running different versions of FCP on the two machines? It should still work unless the Office machine is running an older version of FCP. Then the file from your home machine won’t load. FCP projects are not backward compatable. If the CD files are truely corrupt, why? If the CD copy is bad, try to copy the project file to a jump drive type device and then transfer it to the other computer.
Just a few thoughts early in the morning.

If you are exporting from FCP you must export a self contained QT.
