Is it possible to work on projects iMovie on external hard drives in order to save disk space on my macbook (the internal hard drive has little space)?

Hello!

I have a problem working with iMovie on my MacBook Air... Drive HARD internal of the MacBook is unfortunately to small for the biggest projects iMovie... Is there a way to work on external hard drives or perhaps TimeCapsule?

Thank you very much in advance!

Yes, put your iMovie library/ies on a fast (7200 RPM) external hard drive to the Apple format is a good way of working.  Details of the setting up of libraries are covered in the help files to:

http://help.Apple.com/iMovie/Mac/10.1/#/mov3fa25bae7

Note that you may need to consolidate the media in an existing library before you travel to avoid breaking links to media located in the libraries from other Apple applications.  See:

http://help.Apple.com/iMovie/Mac/10.1/#/mov882dee351

I would not recommend using Time Capsule - you would need a separate partition above the used by time machine, and you could put some data on the same drive as backup.  Connection speed can also be a problem.

  • How to export iMovie to external hard drive?

    Being a novice in the film making, I managed to import my first interview in iMovie, but it was recorded in iPhoto/iCloud and what I need is to become if I remove it from my MacBook to my external hard drive. I managed to do a new library on the hard disk, but not to settle the iMovie. Can I delete iMovie and start again from the camcorder? Thanks in advance.

  • Moving after projects effect on external hard drive

    How can I move all of my After Effect projects and their associated files on my local drive on a hard drive so that in the future all the work of EI will be saved on the external hard drive?

    The easiest way is to use the service to collect files to put a single project in a separate folder, including a copy of the original project and then move that or as backup to an external drive.

    The other option is to duplicate your original files that contain assets in the project and copy it to an external drive and then open the project and recreate a link to missing images. The first option is easier.

  • Use as system photo library will not work on library migrated on external hard drive

    I've migrated my library of photos on an external drive to free up space.  I run pictures while pressing the option key.  Photos don't 'sees' the library on the external hard drive in order to "Choose library" is grayed out.  I select "Library" and it points to the photo library that has been copied to the external drive.  It opens and I see all my photos.  I then go to preferences and select "use as a library system.  Which turns gray.   I then released photos.  When I have photos of tenant he still does not recognize that I have chosen an external library such as my library system, and I have to repeat the whole process again to nothing does not.    My external drives are Seagate 4 TB comes pre-formatted under OS X log (Extended).  The photo album has been updated from iPhoto and now I also copy the album iPhoto on the same external drive in the case which has data that allows pictures to designate my photo album of external drive as my photo album of system.  However, I'd rather remove it because it takes up to 500 GB of hard disk space too.   I searched on the internet and other forums without success - seems to work just for everyone.  Help, please!

  • Search in the internal pdf viewer has stopped working

    Cntrl-F brings up find ok, but after that no hits ever.

    It could be the work of one of your modules. Type of topic: addons in the address bar to open your add-ons Manager. Access key; (Mac=) A)

    In the Manager of Add-ons, on the left, select Extensions. Disable some add-ons, then restart Firefox.

    Some added toolbar and modules of Kaspersky Anti-virus are known to cause problems with Firefox. Disable all of them.

    If the problem persists, disable some more (restarting FF). Keep doing this until the problem is gone. After, you know which group is the origin of the problem. Reactivate the last group ONE AT A TIME (reboot FF) until the problem reports.

    Once you think that you have found the issue, that disable and reactivate all the others, then stop and try again. Let us know who the suspect is, detective.

  • Is it possible to install Windows 7 on external HARD disk

    That is the problem.

    A friend with a Toshiba laptop (do not know the model right, but probably with win7 - 6 month old machine) has a problem with the internal hard drive.
    He crashed and his does not work.

    It has the toshiba recovery CD and an external hard drive.
    Is it possible for him to install win 7 on the external hard drive?

    (the easy medium woyld be buying a new in-house but for the next 2 months because of his work that it is impossible).

    Hello

    I don t think that it would be possible to install the Windows 7 external HARD disk.
    You should replace the internal HARD disk and should put the new HARD drive in the laptop.
    Then you should be able to install Windows 7 on the new HARD disc.

    Good luck

  • Project on external hard drive is missing! Help, please!

    Hello, my name is Alex Randazzo, and Ive been working on this project for the past 3-4 years and I am within a month of a feature by 2 1/2 hour of finishing. I have the project saved on several external hard drives, but I spent last week working on the project on A external hard drive, is no longer only than the other drives.

    I was working on my project, and all of a sudden a warning popped up message, warning THAT FCPX has detected a problem, exit FCPX now to save your project.

    I left FCPX, I have encountered this problem before and have had no problem leaving FCPX and restarted with the result of everything being fine.
    I did it once again.  But this time, when I opened FCPX back, my project disappeared! I don't know what to do!

    The project is loaded in the timeline panel, but the project is empty.

    The event is raising Dragons Movie0 and it is the only one who doesn't even have a box of purple and the star.

    WWhat version? What OS? Close the application. Go in library bundle and place the flexolibrary file in the trash. Relaunch the application. If the database rebuild you will have to try to open a recent backup.

    Your last message puts a new complexsion on the issue for me.

    Instead of the MPEG export, please use

    Publish + share

    Computer

    AVCHD

    with Presets = MP4 H.264 1920 x 1080 p 30

    with your record in: set appropriately.

    Can you play that back

    You can also watch

    Publish + share

    Computer

    QuickTime

    with Presets = NTSC DV 16:9

    then under the tabs button advanced video and Audio

    The video tab settings should look like

    Don't you see that empty the box to the right of the width of the frame and the frame height? You can see a chain link in it. If you do not click on to get the look of empty box so that you can type in 1920 frame width and frame height 1080.

    The upper part of the export parameters is cut in the screenshot. First of all, change the codec h.264 video.

    Please consult the bulletin and then let us know if any of this helped. I think you'll need add ons for reading MPEG 2 on your Mac. These estates are for H.264.mov and H.264.mp4.

    Thank you.

    -One API PI or raspberry beaglebone exists for LabVIEW?

    -Power supply Wich can recommend you control with LabVIEW? (some chip solution witn 0 - 30v / 0 - 3A DC)

    Thank you very much for your advice!

    Best regards

    Elena

    Elena,

    I know raspberry, so no comment on that.

    For the rest:

    -Do you want to create tools for developers? If so, we must look in the API of project VI and VI server. If this isn't the case, please compile your application LV as executable and call this one using a batch file.

    -LV prefer specific supplies. LV is a programming language. There are several power supply providers (including OR) which provide directly the LV API for their power supplies. So, essentially, the approach is:

    1. choose food that serves your needs.

    2. check if the power supply has a standard interface for programming (such as Ethernet, GPIB, or if the power supply is PXI, is already providing a programming interface!)

    3. check if the LV API (so-called "instrument driver") is available for the device. In the case of a PXI system, get you a device driver (for example NI DCPower).

    4. check if the LV samples are available (for example in the Finder for example LV once you have installed the driver).

  • Is it possible to work with the conditions of a table in excel?

    I create a vi that store a lot of encoder pulse signals in a table, and I want to work with these terms as I in excel. Things like an average of a column, multiply the terms in the table, divide by constants.

    is this possible? Otherwise, what is the best way to work with this kind of data?

    Quite possible, that is the question to have tables, that you can manipulate as you need. The possibilities are endless.
