Hi

I am trying to find the quickest and most efficient way of sharing a project with a co editor. I have 2 HDs cloned and I want to be able to give him the replica and let him work on a sequence then send it to me and allow me to open it up and copy it into mine, is this possible and how do you do it?

Thanks

Mike

    Are you in the same facility? Using a network system? If so, the Shared Project capabilities would be my suggestion. It has tools for keeping Bob's and Mike's different sequences separate but yet as part of te overall project.

    Hi Mike,

    This is something I do frequently using our network server; two of us edit difference sequences to eventually be used in the same project. The fact that you have cloned the drive containing source footage is excellent; you won't have any trouble relinking the footage.

    I'd have the other person create a separate project on their local drive ("Bob") and work on whatever sequences need to be done.

    Then you can import any sequences you want from the "Bob" project into the "Mike" project. Since the importable sequence points to the same footage, it should come up just fine in your master project. You might have to relink once, but every piece of footage will be in the same relative place.

    You could even go the other direction -- giving the "Bob" version an import of the "Mike" sequences, as a good backup to each other, or for reference.

    The short version of this: any sequence, or entire project, can be imported into another one. It's been a wonderful way to work with my second editor.

    Good luck!
