  • Transferring AVID project from PC external drive to MAC external drive

    Posted by Jacky Mills on May 26, 2010 at 11:38 pm

    Hello!
    I am working on a film in AVID on a PC.
    I have received the project on a PC external drive and I need to transfer all the media to a MAC external drive, because I am going to start editing on a MAC.

    On the PC both drives show up because I am using MAC DRIVE. However, as soon as I start copying the files from the PC external drive to the MAC external drive I get an error message and they both disappear, and won’t show up again until I restart the computer.

    Any advice on how I can transfer the media from PC external drive to MAC external drive?
    Thanks!

    I’ve always had luck w/ Paragon NTFS.

    Looks like they’re up to version 8.0….

    Thanks for the response but this didn’t work. The PC external drive won’t show up at all on my mac. And the material won’t transfer from one external drive to another on my PC. Any other advice?
    Thanks!!
