Q: Working between locations...

When you are working between different locations with Color 1.5.3 what is the way you have to save your project?

 

Do your associated files have to be in a particular location on your external hard drive??

    Ideally you set up a fast external drive as the project location and the target drive for all of Color's activities. Just drag the drive back and forth between locations.

     

    If you don't want to haul a drive around, set up duplicate drives with EXACTLY the same name and file structure.

     

    Then, when you open up a project at a different location, all elements are where Color expects to see them.

    I tried to clone the Color Project and all associated files onto a second external drive. When I try and open the project on the other external drive it does not open. How can this be, makes no sense??

    What do you mean, "it doesn't open"?

     

    Does Color launch on the 2nd computer?

     

    If not, did color ever run on the second computer?

     

    If Color does run, did you try to open the project from within Color?

     

    What error messages do you receive?

    You need to reconnect the media in Color...point to it...tell it where it is. It's VERY finicky. If it isn't on the drive it's used to seeing it...it won't connect.
