AH!! Never mind… I get it. The FIRST part was missing either the backslash OR the quotes! Duh… got it. 😉

Thanks!

[John Rofrano] “Try this:
ln -s “/Volumes/RAID/Motion Templates.localized” “/Users/robinskurz/Movies/Motion Templates.localized””

Aaaaaaaah… very cool! It worked! Thanks so much!

[John Rofrano] “Hopefully this explanation will take some of the mystery out of when to use “” and when to use \. “

Yes, very much. Thank you for that, too. Only, as I said, I didn’t actually escape anything myself, that’s what I got by dragging the folder to the terminal. But even when I deleted it it didn’t work, which is what confused me. I don’t get why
ln -s /Volumes/RAID/Motion Templates.localized "~/Movies/Motion Templates.localized"
didn’t work, considering the tilde AND quotes and NO backslash in the name. Or am I missing something there, too? Is that NOT essentially the same as what now worked?

Cheers,
Robin

Thanks John!

But unfortunately those are the exact commands I’ve been using (normally with success). But somehow it’s not working for me. I’m not nearly terminal savvy enough to easily catch obvious mistakes, which I’m assuming I of course must be making.

I copied the folder, unchanged to my external RAID (to test it, but eventually want it on a network volume) and then deleted the original. I entered: ln -s /Volumes/RAID/Motion Templates.localized "/Users/robinskurz/Movies/Motion\ Templates.localized" where I got the respective paths from simply dragging the folders to the terminal. No idea why there is a \ in the last path, but even deleting that doesn’t help. But all I get is “No such file or directory“.

And changing it to ln -s /Volumes/RAID/Motion Templates.localized "~/Movies/Motion Templates.localized" doesn’t make any difference either.

So what am I doing wrong? 🙁

[John Rofrano] “These are Unix commands and no future version of OS X is going to break them unless OS X leaves it’s Unix roots. “

You’re of course right. Mistook this issue with one that I came across regarding “rootless” (SIP) mode, which in fact is El Capitan only.

Cheers!
Robin

He states in very clear detail what he did.

[Michael Hancock] “He could have manually synced”

Obviously, yes. Only with that amount of material that wasn’t an option for him. Why? Best decision? No idea. He thought it was. And yes, IIRC the aux track ended up being the solution. Only that didn’t spare him the massive amount of manual shifting around of bins and what not, nor the need for pre-rendering/transcoding the entire footage first, bin by bin, because the Avid (MP with Nitris, NextStor RAID and what not else) couldn’t play the 2K Cinefrom material anywhere near realtime either… as opposed to me with FCP (though I ultimately did do most in Proxy, after it had finished automatically transcoding over night).

All I know is that he was anything but inexperienced (10 something years at Paramount) and didn’t edit so much as one frame for almost three days.

[Oliver Peters] “A clapstick is still the most accurate, with common timecode coming in second.”

Ironically, a pretty high-profile pilot I was working on in L.A. a while back used jam-synched TC multicams with dual audio. More than 20 hrs. of footage. For some reason though, the audio had a latency problem of some sort, which led to a 2-3 frame offset. Parts were edited on an Avid (v6 I believe) and I was doing the rest on FCP X. The Avid guy was apparently pretty much screwed, since all he could use was TC for syncing. So whilst he was figuring out some sort of weird workaround (for literally a couple of days packed with phone calls), I was happily editing along with my waveform-based sync. 🙂 So, either way, I certainly prefer it.

I actually tried it two different ways, since the original terminal command I’ve used in the past doesn’t work under El Capitan anymore. So I tried it once via “SymLinker” and once with “SymbolicLinker” (such original names). SymLinker appears to have been rendered useless by the change in El Capitan and the latter creates a “Motion Templates.localized” symlink. Even removing the “localized” part doesn’t work, which I first thought might be the problem. Like I said, no matter how I do it, FCP ignores it and creates a new, second Templates folder.

Which terminal command do you know of/use?

[Mark Dobson] “But to me his teaching style is very old school, avuncular, tell it once, tell it again and then run though it a final time to make sure everything is fully understood. This style for me just doesn’t chime with the ability we have of reviewing any video based training material. So I stopped buying his products.

Ripple seem to keep it fresher and release themed training packages with a high production value, and they are constantly providing free training material to the NLE ‘community’ through their 5 minute training releases.”

I tend to agree wholly. Personally not a big fan of slides either. But at least he isn’t/wasn’t this…
