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.

  • 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.

  • What to do after I wipe an external hard drive?

    I just used KillDisk to erase a 1 TB external hard drive. I still want to use this hard drive but my computer does not recognize it. I read that I might have to reformat or something? Also read something about Fdisk. Don't know if this is the case for me, no one knows anything about what I should do next? And how to do it? Thank you.

    This is the site with instructions. Unfortunately, I'm not very aware when it comes to technology. Help, please!

    http://www.killdisk.com/KillDisk-FAQ.htm

    Press start, search diskmgmt.msc, open that appears in the search. (should be "diskmgmt")

    Find your external drive, which, on the lower part of the screen, should have a giant bar with black on top of it. If it is blue, read the paragraph after it and ignore the following sentence. Right click after making sure is your external drive (you can tell by looking at how big it is), and then select new simple volume.

    If the bar is blue, and you are sure it is your external drive, it has already been formatted. In this case, right click, select change drive letter and paths, and if there is no letter listed, click Add, choose a letter and press Ok. It should be shown in my computer.

    If it's black, continue reading below.

    Press next, and then it will ask you what size you want the partition, and it should already have filled the maximum space, you can do. Press next. You can then select a drive letter, that will most likely be E, of course you can change it to any desired letter.

    In the next screen, it should have already chosen "format this volume with the following settings. Make sure he put the NTFS file system, allocation unit size must be default which is very good, and you can choose a name for the drive.

    Quick format is selected automatically and I would say leaving just checked, as a normal on a 1 format to player would take a few hours.

    Pressing should then start formatting. On this bar where you initially right click to start this, admittedly, formatting. When he's ready, he'll say: formatting (0%) and then it should finish quickly, because you have chosen to do a quick format.

    After that, the drive appears in my computer and can be used.

  • Moving files from lightroom on external hard drive

    I read a few post on this topic, but I have not found the answers I'm looking for.

    I want to take all the pictures on my computer and put them on an external hard drive.  If I'm in lightroom and connect my external hard drive, if I just move all files to a disc external hard takes them out of my computer?

    In addition, I want to do is make a folder for each calendar year and the changes made to the photos.  So, if I save my project and move it over the pictures, this means that any changes I made on these photos will stay with these photos?

    To have all my pictures on the computer, if I wanted to reopen a file from my external hard drive through lightroom, they automatically opens with all the changes always made for them?

    Point 1: Yes, Lightroom will move from your computer to the outside. However, I would not recommend doing so, I copy the files from the computer to the external help for your operating system and when you checked the copy is ok and you've "updated the location of the folder" in Lightroom and then you can delete the folders on your computer.

    Point 2: You can do manually in Lightroom using the sort options to reach the older that you want or craete a new catalog and import your current and the importing stage move files to folders by date order.

    Point 3: Yes, it will be, but you won't be able to 'work' the files that are on the drive offline, unless you have generated clever insights.

  • Moving music files of 1 external hard drive to another

    I have to move my music files from one external hard drive to another.   Many of these files are in the iTunes library, but do not reside in the iTunes/iTunes Music folder.  Is it possible to do so that they don't become 'traces of dead' in iTunes that I'll have to then 'find' whenever I want to access one of the songs?

    There is no easy way to do it. It is one of the disadvantages of not let iTunes do its own management of files.

    My suggestion would be to first let iTunes consolidate the active player library and only then move it to the new drive.

  • Cannot associate .bkf after a backup on external hard drive

    I am running Windows XP Home edition. I downloaded my Windows CD backup. I backed up my files to an external drive. It took 40 minutes, so I'm pretty sure they did backup. I can't access the files as it says they are .bkf files and have no association on my computer. What did I miss, or what more I have to do.

    Ian

    File type: Backup utility backup set
    The BKF file type is primarily associated with 'Windows XP' by Microsoft Corporation.
    For XP Home this utility is not installed by default. You must install it from the directory of the added value of your disc XP Home distribution. Once installed shows upward in the start menu. Programs | Menu accessories. If you make several backups a catalogue of these backups is kept on the hard drive in the folder \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\catalogs51.
    If you have a backup file you want to recover files from and this file is not listed in the catalog, then the Windows backup program will not restore from this file, unless you delete the catalog. Then, with no other data to work from, Windows backup will recover the backup files.
    There are many programs that you can download to extract BKF files, I do not use them because they are likely to have viruses. There are those who have a claim registry problem if there is no file association, DO NOT USE A REGISTRY REPAIR TOOL OF DIFFICULTY or PROBLEM!
    Hope this can be useful

  • Access my files after converting HD internal external hard drive?

    I was using a Lenovo Thinkpad notebook that had initially installed, Windows 7 upgraded to Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 then. Screen of the laptop was accidentally crushed, and while the laptop was working fine, it was unusable because the screen was totally destroyed. As I'm travelling and I wanted to replace it anyway, I took the hard drive and put it in an external enclosure.

    I try to access my files from the hard drive on another computer. This computer is running Windows 7. When I plugged in the drive for the first time, I authorized the computer analyze and correct (I think, I don't remember the exact words) the hard drive. Now, I'm trying to get my files. I believe that they are under "Users--> last" but then an error message will appear, telling me "you don't currently have permission to this folder. Click on continue to get a permanent access to the folder. "I click on continue, then get"you have been denied access to this folder. To win access to go to Security tabs. "But I do not know what parameters to change in the Security tabs, as I can in all. More on the Security tabs, it shows me that the folder is empty.

    I can't unlock this file? If so, how? I screw it up by leaving this analysis of the computer the drive? Is there a chance that it works on a Windows 8?

    Any help is VERY appreciated!

    ---

    EDIT: This is a public library computer so I can't access the administrator user. When I get to 'Properties' for the record, there no tab 'security', just general, "sharing, previous versions, customize. So maybe I should try it on a computer where I can access the administrator user?

    LR

    You must take possession of the HD.  Instructions for which are here

  • 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.
