[STN-Affiliates] Offline Clips?

[Romey, Jacalyn]

You can use the media manager in FCP to collect all your files in one folder. This includes render files, clips and project files.

Final cut pro also has a way to move/copy clips to another folder or drive. I have used this several time to take project home or move them to another computer.

 I am typing this on a PC so I can not look it up and see what the command is called.

Another way to think of it is like this:

A student's computer is named Mario.  The log in name is tv.  The video files for Final Cut are stored in the scratch folder.  So all stuff that is rendered on that computer is located in Mario>TV>Documents>Scratch.

You move the final cut project to a computer named Pacman.  The Final Cut project will look for all the video files in the location Mario>TV>Documents>Scratch.  However, you are no longer on Mario, you are on PacMan.  Even if you have the same file structure, you are on a different hard drive.  Thus the files will not be found.

If you want to move stuff from machine to machine and don't have final cut server or another server way to do it, you can put all your clips on the timeline, then go to File>Export>Using Quicktime Conversion.  It will export out a fully packaged Quicktime file of what is on the timeline.

Sandy,

Final Cut Pro requires a local scratch drive unless you are using XSAN.  In other words, students have to stay on the same computer for the FCP project.  The data files go off-line because
they are stored on a local drive such as the system drive or an external drive attached to the computer that contains the original footage, etc.

I have my Macs networked and I have a kid who did a stop motion project on
one Mac and he's trying to open it on a different Mac.  A lot of the clips
on the 2nd Mac say offline but on the original Mac they are there, rendered,
and fine.  Any ideas why this is happening?
