  • Can you backup FCP project and all bits to a single folder?

    Posted by Darryl Thomson on July 11, 2008 at 1:49 pm

    Is it possible to save a backup of a Final Cut project, complete with all the graphics, Livetype and associated files, audio, video files or capture and render files etc in a single folder?

    This can be done in a music software program called Cubase and is very handy especially for portability of projects.

    Is it also possible to make LiveType remember associated graphics files which are in the same folder or in a sub folder within the same folder? It doesn’t seem to remember relative paths if the root folder is moved. Is there a setting that will enable this?

    For the first part of the question the answer is Media Manager. That’s one thing it’s for.

    I don’t know about the LT question. Can’t tell what you’re doing from your description. LT seems to remember where elements are if you don’t move, very much like FCP.

    All the best,

    Tom,

    Media Manager looks like just what I’m looking for.

    thanks,

    Apple’s terribly flawed Media Manager isn’t what anyone is really looking for, it’s just all we’ve got. It might work, might not. Use it with caution. Be sure to test your project’s copy and check and recheck i the contents of your copy very carefully.

    This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

    specifically, things to watch for are speed changes, freeze frames, and nested clips… am I forgetting anything?
