Generated files like proxies, render files, and thumbnails are different. You can leave them out of sync only when your editor can rebuild the exact files the second computer needs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Treat sync and backup as two separate decisions. Leaving a file out of sync doesn&#8217;t mean it can go without a recoverable copy.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to transfer: project state and referenced assets<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project file is usually not the whole project. Many editors save your timeline and edits but only point to the media, so the media has to be there too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.kdenlive.org\/en\/project_and_asset_management\/file_management\/project_files.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kdenlive&#8217;s project-file documentation<\/a> for version 26.08 shows how this works. The project records clip positions, edits, effects, and keyframes, plus references to source files. For most video, audio, and image media, Kdenlive stores only a reference, not the media itself. Final Cut Pro uses a different model. <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-ie\/119610\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Apple&#8217;s documentation<\/a> describes &#8220;managed&#8221; media stored inside a library and &#8220;external&#8221; media that is only linked to the library. In both editors, copying only the project or library can leave you with missing footage.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>File role<\/th>\n<th>Must be on the destination?<\/th>\n<th>Condition<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Editable project state<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<td>Timeline, edits, effects, settings<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Original media and other referenced assets<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<td>Unless the destination can already reach them<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Generated files (proxies, renders, thumbnails)<\/td>\n<td>Sometimes<\/td>\n<td>See the next section<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Decision diagram showing which video project files to transfer and when generated files may stay out of sync.\" class=\"wp-image-3592\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.olares.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/move-video-project-between-computers-without-syncing-image-2.png\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Decision diagram showing which video project files to transfer and when generated files may stay out of sync.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To build your transfer set, open the project and list every asset it references. Then check your editor&#8217;s project or library model to see which assets live inside the container and which live outside it. Exact paths and filenames depend on your editor and version, so don&#8217;t rely on a single universal folder list.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also check dependencies outside the media list. <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-ie\/119610\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Apple&#8217;s migration guide<\/a> says third-party plug-ins and special fonts do not move with a Final Cut Pro library; install compatible versions on the destination. Include any Motion content or other assets required by the project before testing the result.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What may stay out of active sync<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A generated file can stay out of sync only when two things are true. First, your editor&#8217;s documented workflow can recreate it. Second, you can wait for it to be rebuilt on the destination.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Can usually be skipped:<\/strong> generated files your editor documents as rebuildable for the operation you&#8217;re doing. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/final-cut-pro\/docs\/Media_Management.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Apple&#8217;s Final Cut Pro guidance<\/a> names render, optimized, and proxy media as generated media. It says render files can be deleted before moving a large library and regenerated afterward. It also says render files and thumbnails aren&#8217;t copied during certain media-management operations and are regenerated as needed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep in sync:<\/strong> generated files you need right away, or ones you can&#8217;t confirm get rebuilt.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t assume:<\/strong> a file being generated doesn&#8217;t make it safe to skip. <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.kdenlive.org\/en\/project_and_asset_management\/file_management\/project_files.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kdenlive&#8217;s working-directory documentation<\/a> says Kdenlive generates proxies and thumbnails in the project&#8217;s working directory. On its own, that isn&#8217;t a rule for leaving them out, and one editor&#8217;s cache policy doesn&#8217;t carry over to another app.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you move a Kdenlive project file to a new location, the same manual says to declare the directory change in the project properties.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make the backup decision separately<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sync controls what you can reach on both computers while you work, whereas backup controls what you can recover after data loss. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisa.gov\/audiences\/small-and-medium-businesses\/secure-your-business\/back-up-business-data\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CISA&#8217;s definition of a backup<\/a> is a secure copy of critical data stored separately from primary systems for post-incident restoration. Because a synced folder reflects changes in both places, it does not serve as that separate recovery copy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask two questions for each file. Do I need it on both computers right now? Would I lose something I can&#8217;t recreate if it disappeared? Your project state and original footage are usually the answer to the second question when no other copy exists. CISA&#8217;s backup-selection and restoration guidance recommends identifying the data you can&#8217;t work without and testing that your backup can actually restore it. A cache you skipped in sync may still belong in backup if rebuilding it isn&#8217;t possible or your recovery depends on it.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Verify the project before changing the original copy<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leave the original project and source media alone until the second computer passes this check:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open the transferred project on the destination computer.<\/li>\n<li>Confirm every referenced media file loads and none show as missing.<\/li>\n<li>Confirm the timeline, edits, and effects are present and still editable.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If any step fails, keep the source copy as it is, then find and move the missing assets before you try again.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I open my project in an older version of the editor on the other computer?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not always. Kdenlive warns that projects using a newer document format cannot be opened by older versions that do not support it. For example, projects from 23.04 or later cannot be opened by releases before 23.04. Prefer the same editor version on both computers and test a copy before upgrading; keep the original project and its backup.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why does my project open with missing clips?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project probably references media that wasn&#8217;t copied or sits at a path the new computer can&#8217;t reach. Find the referenced files and make them available, then reopen the project.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are title and color clips stored inside the project?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Kdenlive, yes. Its documentation says title and color clips are among the few media types stored directly in the project file. Most video, audio, and image media is only referenced.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Kdenlive keep a copy when it upgrades an old project?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Yes<\/strong>. When Kdenlive opens a project made in an older version, it upgrades the file and creates a backup copy named like myproject_backup.kdenlive in the project folder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To keep editing on a second computer, move two things: the editable project state and every original media file it points to that the other computer can&#8217;t already reach.
