Import movies directly on an external hard drive

I'm about to start on a project to import all the old movies video families and rather hard disk DivX wonder if it would be easier to buy a 1 TB hard drive and import them directly on the disk hard - the film is about 60 videotapes (1 hour each) - I use IMovie 10.0.5 - I did not update my version of IMovie as it appears that later versions have the ease of 'marking '.

Thank you

If you create libraries on an external drive any media imported into these libraries will be on the external hard drive.  For details, see: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.1/#/mov3fa25bae7

  • I imported my photos from an external hard drive in Lightroom, edited my photos but then...? !

    Adobe,

    I imported my photos from an external hard drive in Lightroom, edited my photos and when I decided to export the originals had not been updated and deleted photos were not deleted. How I set up so that once I have import photos, edit and export they are then placed in their original case reviewed and updated?

    I managed to export photos to another file, but they were exported with an Adobe.xmp file. What is it and is it necessary?

    Thanks for your help!

    OK then so when you export edited LR images to tell the Office I do not need to use xmp files unless I want then to re - edit still say in Photoshop or another app?

    You don't need the files xmp during the passage of LR to Photoshop. Right click on the image or in the develop module, click Photo > edit in... According to what you have set in the preferences of the image then opens like FFT, JPEG or PSD - 8 bit / 16 bit - and the new TIFF file for example automatically will return to sitting next to the original RAW LR library. If you are exporting a RAW file edited to the desktop to JPG/TIFF then changes will be permanently stamped in the EXIF of the created files.

    Basically import my Raw files on the drive from Carmera card, then in LR. Edit in LR, finishing and export again say in the office. Keep or throw originals that I please...

    Yes, but why would you throw your originals? You can later return to the original and the re - change all over again new experiences learned etc..

    Can I see the modified pictures made in Photoshop in LR later?

    Yes, see first paragraph above. If you already have a file in LR, take it in Photoshop as a JPG/TIFF/PSD, it will be automatically reduced in LR. If you modify a file outside the LR and that is not already in the LR library, say by locating the RAW file in Explorer and then open it directly in ACR/Photoshop, then LR will have no idea what you did except in LR, you choose to import the image later. Remember though, this is one of the examples where you will need to configure save metadata in xmp (at bridge) so that when you import the edited outside the file RAW LR, LR will read the xmp file changes and save it in its own database.

  • I just downloaded winows meïdia player 11 it won't import my music from my external hard drive

    Winows meïdia player 11 won't import my music from my external hard drive whenever I try to add files, it just seems threw? How can I get my music in my library?

    The http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925718 instructions are for WMP 11 on XP. Here are the correct steps to WMP 11 Vista: (note the reset of the library will make you lose all the counts to play and possibly ratings too)

    -Restart the PC.
    -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service . If its status is started , double-click the service, and then click stop .
    -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
    -In this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old Media Player . If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
    -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the problem persists.

  • How can I move my images on external hard drive?

    I need to create a space on my portable hard drive. How can I move my images on an external hard drive? Terrified, I'll losse them or get the dreaded...? Help!

    There is no need to be terriefied. The "dreaded"? "isn't so bad.

    The best way to go about this is:

    (1) in Lr / Grid View / files Panel (left side) put all your image files under folder of one of their parents. If this is already the case, you can skip this step. To do this, just create a new folder and name it descriptive. Then drag-and - drop your image in addition to this newly created folder files. This will make all the image files subfolders in the folder of one of their parents.

    (2) close Lr. In the Finder of Mac / Win Explorer to move the newly created parent folder (wil together all its subfolders) on external hard drive you. This is important: Do not rename the files or change the structure of folder at this point.

    (3) Lr re - open. In the files Panel, you will see the | "dreaded" "? -don't panic! Right click (i.e. click the right - as opposed to left - button you rmouse) parent folder he that you created earlier and now shows the question mark and select . Navigate to the location of the folder on your external drive parent and select it. LR will find all subfolders on its own.

    That's all there is to it.

    PS: in fact the text is not . But the procedure is the same.

  • How to move files from the external hard drive to the keywords WITH main drive?

    On a recent trip, I have uploaded thousands of images on an external hard drive that I used with my laptop. I keyworded and edited these files on the road.

    Back home, I want to move the files (keywords and all) to my permanent LR library that resides on a different hard drive. How can I do this transfer without losing the keywords?

    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Jessica,.

    There seems to be a confusion of terms here: the catalog is where LR stores all of its information (that your designated as LR library in your original post).

    While you were on the road, did you use LR to add keywords to photos, or have you used another tool? If you have used LR, you already have a catalog on the laptop, which you can then import into your main LR catalog (using import to catalogue option in the file menu). Let us know if you get stuck anywhere.

  • In iMovie 9.0.4 How can I move events to an external hard drive?

    Note: I am writing this issue on behalf of my daughter, who is an old iMac running 10.6.8.   His version of iMovie is 9.0.4.

    She has about 50 GB, events which occupies about one-third of its HD.  There is an external hard drive with lots of available storage.

    How to pass these events to the external hard drive?

    Thank you

    Owen

    For a long time I used iMovie 9 but this link to the help info gives instructions: http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3ac6d42c

    Its probably safer to copy rather than move events (unless you already have a backup) just in case something goes wrong.

  • I really just move to a new external hard drive

    With the help of Mac Cougar and LR 4.3. I want to have everything on an external hard drive, but need to move now to a smaller drive to another bigger. How?

    Probably the best way to go is to use the Finder to all move to the new HD, keeping the same folder tree structure, and then inside Lightroom reconnect (as explained here: http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm)

    UPDATE: I assume that when you say 'everything', you mean the photos and not the catalog file.

  • I can't move files on my external hard drive as it says I don't have permission.

    Whenever I have try and drag or copy and paste the files on my external hard drive it says I don't have permission. I know this isn't the hard drive because it works on other computers

    To give the control is a two-step process. Take ownership and then to give permissions.

    Owner of a file allows the owner to change permissions even if they do not have the authorization to do so. It's the only thing that made property. The person who creates an object owns the object. For admins, the objects that are created are the property of administrators, not the individual.

    You need start exploring as administrator to Start - All Programs - Accessories - made Windows Explorer right click and choose run as administrator.

    You must therefore make a right-click folders / drive, you are interested in tick - button Properties - Security - Advanced button - property - Edit - Replace owner on Sub containers and objects tab - select one user-then Ok your way of out.

    Right-click new - folder Properties - Security - Advanced - tab permissions - Edit button - select the account - check the two checkboxes - button - Advanced - Search now button Add button - select your tick - Ok button - total control in the list. OK your way out.

  • Lightroom has stopped to move files on my external hard drive, it was working fine last night, but now I just get an error msg saying: he can't move them.

    Last night I started moving the external files on my PC hard drive internal to one of my hard drives for backup purposes. I've never had a problem in the past with older versions of LR but it's the first time I did it since arriving in LR CC. I moved several 100 RAW files last night with a problem, but as it was late, I stopped. I created LR move that several 1000 files today while I was only to return home and find that most of the files have not been moved and LR, saying that he cannot move them.

    I tried to move a small folder of files but I get the same result, I'm quite puzzled by what worked yesterday doesn't work not today or the same as the older versions of LR. Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you very much

    Neil.

    Arrgh I'm sorry dj_paige I just found the problem.

    Windows has changed the drive letters on one of my external drives and I tried to move the files to a full drive! Not surprising that RAW files would not move.

    I'm so sorry for wasting your time and can only apologize for not noticing the problem yesterday, I can only put it down to my own fatigue at the end of a long day.

    I now eat a large slice of humble pie and feeling rather stupid.

  • You can use migration assistant to transfer the time machine backup external hard drive?

    Hello. I just bought a new macbook pro with a 256 GB flash drive to replace my previous macbook pro that had a breakdown of all the systems. My problem is that I have a time machine backup that is greater than 256 GB (it's almost 450 GB) and I try to find out if I can use migration assistant to transfer all the content directly on an external hard drive, then move the content I want on my hard drive from the external hard drive? My goal is to let my music and photos on the external hard drive and for all port hardware I need for work.

    I don't have access to another mac with storage well enough that I have the old HD so could potentially be installed in an external enclosure and extracted files directly from there if it's easier.

    What I intend to do in the long term is to buy a big external hard drive network and put all my photos, music etc over there and use the laptop as expected - that is for files from day to day - then it will be just a short-term problem.

    Any advice would be really appreciated.

    Thank you

    Nick

    Migration Assistant is user to transfer data from one computer to the other.  If I read your post correctly, you want to copy your data from Time Machine on another HARD disk.  Thia may be useful:

  • Can I have macbook start up from my external hard drive instead of the internal HD of the laptop?

    I use a macbook air 2014 model and would like to know if I can boot the mac from an external hard drive rather than the inside. The reason to do this is to save space on the laptop and updates can be installed directly on the external hard drive.

    Is this possible? Forgive me, because I'm not that tech savvy. Thank you in advance!

    Yes. Install or clone of Mac OS X on it and then select it in the pane of the system preferences Startup disk.

  • Save the playlist on external hard drive.

    I would like to be able to export a playlist on an external hard drive, so that all the mp3s in this playlist are grouped in the same order on the hard disk as in the playlist.

    Hello Nomad vagabond,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    If I understand your message that you want to export a playlist on an external hard drive and want to keep all the songs in the same order that they were when they were in the iTunes library. I have stopped at my music as well.

    This article contains information on the iTunes library:

    On the iTunes library files

    The iTunes Library.itl file is a database of songs in your library and playlists that you created.

    Thus, songs and playlists will be recorded how you created and you can move them to the external hard drive by following these steps:

    Manage and backup your iTunes library

    Best regards.
