Best way to collect all video and picture files for a project

after effects has this great feature where you choose COLLECT and basically what it does is collects all your media files and puts them in a folder. What the best way to do this in FCP?

As a disclaimer; I used FCP's 'Media Manager' To duplicate my original project, to remove the excess unused clips and to preserve the right to keep specific audio files within the confines of the company. The file structure of the project, PROJECTNAME, may or has been altered as a result. Sequences might have blank spaces as a result of time remapped clips being incorrectly duplicated and media names and bin structure may be altered as 'Media Manager' caters not for the organization of the original project. These might or might not be corrected depending on how i feel at the moment of reviewing this 'duplicated' project.
I make special exceptions for clients that do their best to stay on my good side. This disclaimer was made specifically for a project that I had to redo when the original editor was too lazy to make it "watchable". They said I only had to make some changes.... almost 2 months later, I technically did the project over from scratch.

  • Best way to handle all erros and get performance(OCI)?

    Hi there,
    Im using[b] Oracle Call Interface to execute batch file process. But I have got a problem.
    I set ExecuteBatch with the same number of commit time, i.e: 100, 1000 or just 10, for thats ok.
    ((OraclePreparedStatement)globalStmt).setExecuteBatch(commit);
    And I handle executeUpdate to catch all SQL Exceptions. I made some proposital files with invalid erros but when I handle "executeUpdate" it�s doesn�t get the corrent error line, and puts out another line that is corret.
    ((OraclePreparedStatement)globalStmt).executeUpdate();
    Check in the code I concluded that its always get the same sequence of commit number like the error line. For example, I have between line 1 - 50 a line error, this line is 31, but I set the commit time for 50, its show me that line errror is 50 wherever 31. But if I put setExecuteBatch with '1' so it can handle corret lines erros, but the system performance bring down. What is the best way to handle all erros and keep the perfronace?
    Sorry for my english, I am not native. Thanks all.

    So by doing this, everything will transfer and look exactly the way I have it on the old machine?
    That is correct, if your old machine is Intel based after using MA the new machine will look just like the old machine. Here is information from Apple on MA, I'd recommend looking it over.
    My recommendation is to answer NO when setting up the new machine when it asks "Are you moving from another Mac?" The reason being let you new machine get set up and run for a couple of hours to ensure it's fine. Then launch MA and follow the prompts, it's very easy and if you use a fast connection like FW it should go smoothly.

    Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

  • Best way to merge/nest video and audio clips?

    Hi there,
    I really need some advice as I am currently editing a video that has a lot of extra sound effects placed in different places and it pretty much makes the mass of the background sound that has been carefully paired to the clips that I have. My issue here is that I need to place in a voice over and make sure it syncs with the visuals also, but this has made me realise that I will need to loop some parts of the clip to make it work and I dont really want to need to move every single chunk of video clip and it's corresponding sound effect manually by highlighting and then pushing towards the right to make room as I may miss something and it will wipe off some areas that I have spent so long on.
    Is there a way to 'nest' my current clips with my audio clips so I can safely organise this rather than dealing with about 50 layers of audio and clips whilst I move things about to work with the voice over? Please help any advice would be very appreciated!
    Thanks

    Find the sequence you are working on in the Project Panel, drag and drop it on the "New Item" button to create another sequence. Now you have a nested sequence that you can treat as a single clip.

  • I have an Iphone 4 throught Att.  I am trying to update to ios 5.  I have tried everything but it stalls at the backing up iphone step.  I have removed all videos and pictures, deleted all apps, deleted all previous backups.  Any help?

    I have let it sit for 24 hours and it still did not help.  Does anyone have any help?

    Reset your iPhone... press the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Restart your computer
    Try another USB port (don't use a hub)
    Reinstall iTunes
    Take it in to Apple and let them update it to iOS5.  If the problem is with the phone, maybe they'll replace it.

  • Hi. In simple language, can you please tell me the best way to protect my important and numerous files - music, images and docs - from being lost; in the event the computer crashes and data is irretrievable?

    I have a lot of photos and music, plus important personal files. In simple terms, can you recommend how I should go about backing these up and ensuring they are not lost through some computer malfunction?
    I need to understand the uses and merits of iCloud, Time Machine and on/off site external drives. I don't really want to invest money, time or new external hardware to achieve this. It can't be too labour intensive, either.
    I have an external drive, which I last backed up perhaps two years ago. It is old, it requires wiring, and it sits next to to the desktop, so would be useless in case of fire (god forbid), say.
    At the same time, I am concerned about cloud storage, and putting personal info and files into anonymous server farms, and the hands of anonymous organisations/people.
    Call me a luddite, but I suspect these are fairly standard concerns, and I can find simple answers with a simple Google search.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    This is what Apple has to say:
    Report on Government Information Requests
    "... our business does not depend on collecting personal data. We have no interest in amassing personal information about our customers."
    This one concerns iOS, but its approach to privacy is the same:
    http://images.apple.com/ipad/business/docs/iOS_Security_Feb14.pdf
    A couple stories about one Google alternative:
    DuckDuckGo: the plucky upstart taking on Google with secure searches
    DuckDuckGo: The privacy search ruffling Google's feathers
    NSA scandal delivers record numbers of internet users to DuckDuckGo
    Why Traffic To These Google Alternatives Is Soaring
    One of several concerns about Google Chrome, for instance:
    Chrome Bugs Allow Sites to Listen to Your Private Conversations
    Google's Business Model: YOU Are the Product
    "You are not a Google customer. You are a Google product."
    Those aren't just anyone's worthless opinions. Those are also the exact words of a federal magistrate dismissing a case regarding privacy intrusion involving the plaintiff's Android phone:
    "... With little or no revenue from its users, Google still manages to turn a healthy profit by selling advertisements within its products that rely in substantial part on users’ personal identification information (“PII”). As some before have observed, in this model, the users are the real product."
    I understand you didn't ask primarily about Google, but you expressed the very understandable desire for privacy, yet don't seem to mind using Google for search. Those aren't reconcilable sentiments.

  • What is the best way to set up devices and multiple computers for a family

    I am trying to setup multiple devices and computers with home sharing.  I currently have 1 apple I'd for my wife and one for me.   I want to set up home sharing for us and my two kids.  We have two small laptops that stay at home and one that goes back and forth to work.  
    ?1. Do i need to give up my apple I'd and share my wife's or vise versa or do I just enter it into my device iPhone or iPad when I want to load something from another library onto my device and the change I'd back.  Will the stuff still be there then when I switch back to my apple Id.     Can I switch like that.  
    2. Should my kids each have their own apple I'd or just use the same one for multiple computers and devices. 
    3. Does a network system outside of wifi need to be setup for the computers another wards have the computers linked on a network. Or can they just be in the same place at the same time with wifi.  Generic linksys Internet connection.

    Unless you have 3rd-party apps allowing Windoze to read and write Mac OS Extended, or your Mac to read & write NTFS, your options are ExFat or Fat.   See #9 in Using Disk Utility.

  • I just bought a new Macbook. What's the best way to transfer all my info from the old one?

    Hey everyone! I just got my new retina display Macbook Pro, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to transfer all my music/photos/files/data/etc. from my old Mackbook Pro. I have a 1TB external drive and an 8GB flash drive that I can use if I need to. Any sugestions? Thanks!

    What i did with mine, I cloned the drive of my old macbook to my external drive using carbon copy cloner.
    Once i was done with the clone - i used migration assistant to transfer my apps/data/pictures/files over my new macbook....
    when using migration assistant - do not transfer your old settngs and if you're doing an app transfer, only transfer the ones you need and that you know will work with your Retina...
    good luck..

  • Cutting and saving individual video and audio files from a clip

    I have to cut 201 individual video and audio files for separate scenes from an 11-minute animated episode and save them as separate MP4 video and MP3 audio files. What is the most efficient way to do this?

    Without knowing more about your project, it's hard to even guess at the most efficient workflow.
    Like: Do these clips have audio or are you adding it? What format are these clips? What is the intended delivery for the 11 minute movie?
    As a general matter, one creates an event, imports clips to it. Then organizes the clips according to the needs of job, using keyword collections and ratings. Then creates a project and starts a rough cut by marking ranges in the event browser and editing to the time line. Some people start with the music, making that the primary storyline mark where they want the edit to be and cut to that.
    Upon finishing, one can choose one or more of the "destination" presets. It's possible to export Audio only or Video only or both. MP3 is one of the audio choices. Some of the presets are MP4. If you want possibly better quality and more control, export the files as master files and encode in Compressor.
    Good luck.

  • Can't move video and pix files back to iPod Touch from desktop computer

    I moved (via drag-and-drop in Windows) video and picture files from an iPod Touch (iOS 5.1.1) to a Windows 7 desktop computer. I want to copy some of them back, but it won't let me drag-and-drop to copy them back to the iPod. How do I get the files back on the iPod? I know that the "disk mode" is not available on the Touch. Also, although the iPod shows up in iTunes on my desktop computer, these video and picture files (Quick Time Movies, JPEGs, etc.) don't show up there. So, I'm out of ideas. A related question: how do I scan the iPod using my Windows 7 desktop computer's anti-virus application (McAfee)? Normally, when I right-click on a device on the desktop computer, it offers me the ability to scan it for viruses. Not only does it not give me this option for the iPod; the iPod doesn't even show up as a hard drive; it shows up in the window as a separate "flavor" of drive. Is there a way to make Windows 7 think that the iPod Touch is just another USB-connected drive; i.e., is there a way to mimic the disk mode option that is available on other models of the iPod other than the Touch?

    - There is no way to scan the iPod for virus via a computer program. I know of no way to scan an iPod.
    - To sync photos to the iPod see:
    iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
    - To sync videos to the iPod see:
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
    iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
    iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod

  • What's the best way to backup all of my music and pictures?

    I have a Mac Mini with the Super Drive and i was woundering which is the best way to back all of the music that i have bought from iTunes and pictures i have in iPhoto, that way in case my Hard Drive crashes or i buy a new Mac Mini i can just transfer the files onto the new Hard Drive, is buying a iPod Video or a external hard drive be the best thing to do or can i just burn everything on a DVD-R?
    Thank you.

    Wow, that sounds pretty easy, just drag and drop, but what exactly did you mean when you said "When restoring your data, ensure that all the iTunes and iPhoto files are restored before launching those applications"
    What i was going to do is just copy (restore) all the data onto a external HD or a DVD-R and then make sure iTunes and iPhoto still has the same number of files and then i would check the DVD-R or the external HD to make sure that the files have been copied, right?
    One more question, most of my music on iTunes was bought from the iTunes Music Store, will it still copy?

  • I've been using a flip video camera since 2009 and all of my videos are in the flipshare library.  What is the best way to burn all these videos to a DVD that will play on my DVD player/tv?

    I've been using a flip video camera since 2009 and all of my videos are in the flipshare library.  What is the best way to burn all these videos to a DVD that will play on my DVD player/tv?  The flipshare library is taking up too much space on my Macbook and I wanted to delete these videos once they were all tranferred to DVDs.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

    Hi,
    There are four main tasks to use Azure Diagnostics:
    Setup WAD
    Configuring data collection
    Instrumenting your code
    Viewing data
    The original Azure SDK 1.0 included functionality to collect diagnostics and store them in Azure storage collectively known as Azure Diagnostics (WAD). This software, built upon the Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) framework, fulfills two design requirements
    introduced by Azure scale-out architecture:
    Save diagnostic data that would be lost during a reimaging of the instance..
    Provide a central repository for diagnostics from multiple instances.
    After including Azure Diagnostics in the role (ServiceConfiguration.cscfg and ServiceDefinition.csdef), WAD collects diagnostic data from all the instances of that particular role. The diagnostic data can be used for debugging and troubleshooting, measuring
    performance, monitoring resource usage, traffic analysis and capacity planning, and auditing. Transfers to Azure storage account for persistence can either be scheduled or on-demand.
    To know more about Azure Diagnostics, please refer to the below article ( Section : Designing More Supportable Azure Services > Azure Diagnostics )
