  • Transferring FCPro4.5 Chapters via FTP between 2 Editors

    Posted by Sherwood Ball on September 15, 2006 at 7:00 pm

    Same project AND media on two dif drives in two dif locations
    both running same computers w/ 4.5HD.

    When chapter is copied into a new project, saved as, put in folder and
    uploaded to ftp. When downloaded to bring into my timeline, since
    there is no extension, it will only read the file as a Unix file.

    Or should I say a Eunuch file. Ouch.

    Anyone know of a dif way of saving to upload and bring into another’s
    project???????

    Thnx mucho!

    Zip the file first. This should prevent the resource forks from being stripped out.

    Control click on the file and select “create archive”. The editor who recieves the file just has to double click it and it will unzip.
