can you email a bin?
can i email a bin to somebody?
i am helping out an editor and we are each working from our homes. instead driving back and forth can’t we just email a bin? and if i have fcp xpress will she be able open the bin in fcp 4.5? i used to do that with avid all the time.
hope somebody can show it to me. i am in the middle of my first fcp gig – i thought the transition from avid would be easier…
thanks in advance for your help! -

You can email the whole Final Cut Project file, or if you like create a new Project file and drag the bin you want to send into it. Save it and then email it. It’s as easy as that.

I was under the impression that FCP doesn’t do timecode. So how does this help?

tried to email project, the reciever couldn’t open it, it said wrong type file…
so annoying…
it is about 240 mb, i don’t know. -
Try compressing the file using stuffit. For some reason this process “protects” the file in transit and proves to be more reliable.

You don’t have to use StuffIt – just ctrl-click (or right-click) the file in Finder and choose ‘Create Archive of …’ and a .zip file is made. StuffIt is not working that well in OSX and StuffItExpander isn’t even included with Tiger.

Another option. Maybe too simple. Export the bin as a batch list. Then email that. Then on the other end, create a new bin and import the batch list.
However, still begs the question – does FCP Express support timecode? If it doesn’t then it obviously wouldn’t support batch lists either.
But this method works great for FCP Pro to FCP Pro.
