Export and re-import in to project keeping background transparent.

Hi guys...
I have had some joy and some no so joy... maybe I am doing something wrong..
I have been using a smoke emmitter and "flattened" this and re-imported back into project to save ram or to duplicate the layer (for more smoke) and also again save ram. But sometimes the new import has a transparent background layer sometimes it is black. (Always I set all the other layers to not viewable) I have tried using keying to get rid of the black. But possibly there is a setting to keep any export/import back into project background transparent, if in a group above the bottom one. I am using QT animation setting for exports. DVC PRO HD 1080p
Thanks.
Cheers for all this great help... invaluable for neubie..

Set your background to transparent (press apple+J to open the window you need) as it may currently be set to "solid" and render the movie out using Animation, as this preset will support transparency. That should do it.

  • Export and re-import on same database

    For one reason or another we want to do a full export and re-import all the data back into the same tablespaces... is there a command to imp to tell it to truncate and over-write all the data before importing? or do I have to manually drop all the tables? (by manual I mean write a script to do it) -- and/or drop all the schemas

    Not sure, why you want to export and import back the same thing into the same database, but anyways to answer your question, yes it is possible with Oracle10g by using TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION={SKIP | APPEND | TRUNCATE | REPLACE}. With Oracle9i, you may have to generate a dynamic script to truncate tables....make sure you exclude SYS/SYSTEM tables from the truncate script.........did I say except SYS/SYSTEM and so on :-)

  • When exporting and then importing Apple Mail from one mac to another I get "Some messages could not be imported. Partially imported mailbox will be labeled IMPORT" . That mailbox does not appear.

    When exporting and then importing Apple Mail from one mac to another I get "Some messages could not be imported. Partially imported mailbox will be labeled IMPORT" . That mailbox does not appear.
    Any help would be welcome

    This is a bug in Mail. The mailbox archiving function does not include attachments, which  gives the error with the import. To workaround this you can create a mailbox in Mail and copy to it all emails you want to export. Then go in Finder to [user]/Library/Mail/Mailboxes en select the created mailbox. Copy this to the public directory of your other mac. Then start Mail on that other mac and import the mailbox from the public directory. Should work now.

  • Difference Between Export and Direct Import Process.

    Hi SD Gurus,
    Can anyone help to understnad difference betwenn Export and Direct Import Process.

    Hi,
    export = out of the system or country
    import = into the system or country
    For example in SAP-ABAP
    On the EXPORT side
    DATA: ls_indx TYPE indx.
    ls_indx-aedat = sy-datum.
    ls_indx-usera = sy-uname.
    ls_indx-pgmid = 'ZNAME'.
    EXPORT tab = lt_orders
    TO DATABASE indx(v1)
    FROM ls_indx ID 'PERCENT'.
    On the IMPORT side
    DATA: ls_indx TYPE indx.
    ls_indx-aedat = sy-datum.
    ls_indx-usera = sy-uname.
    ls_indx-pgmid = 'ZNAME'.
    IMPORT tab = lt_orders

  • Export and Re-import bulk PTR reverse lookup records

    Hi,
    If I were to export an existing zone let's say 0.168.192 which has hundreds of PTR records and I want to create new zones 1.168.192, 2.168.192, 3.168.192 and so on - what would be the best action of exporting this whole zone (0.168.192) and importing
    certain records from this zone into one of the new zones?
    For example 0.168.192 around 200 PTR records to be exported and then these records to be imported into the new zone 1.168.192?
    Would a CSV be achievable? And if so, what columns and command line I would have to run?
    Many thanks.

  • Speed up Client EXPORT and Client import

    Hi,
    how to speed up the client export/import process (from scc8/scc7)?
    There is no profile,if we want User master records and the client specific data. then can we over write the client 2times first with user master data and then followed by client specific import.
    Main requirement is to Export Production client Specific data and users with authorization as CLIENT EXPORT (finally we can import the requests generated by client export) after importing to DEV server once can use as Quality client.
    please give your valuable suggestions in having client export and import to make Quality client in DEV server.
    DEV and PRD patch levels are different (remote client copy will fail in RFC system comparison)
    request you to give your valuable inputs.
    thanking you in anticipation,
    best regards,
    Raghav

    Hi Chowdary,
    This is not a big issue.
    You please find the TR list which are not moved PRD.
    Goto PRD->STMS_IMPORT find the TR list (which are in white color symbol) not moved to PRD.
    Then ask the respective consultant about TRs. Then re-import the TR in QAS. The old configuration will be occured in QAS. The TR which is moved to QAS, Now also it will be in green color only.But just re-import it and get the confirmation form respective consultant.But the user details will not available.
    hope this is useful.

  • Export and then import those images in one step?

    I'm slightly annoyed that every time I want to use the export function to create jpeg versions of images, I then have to do the extra step of importing those jpegs into my catalog. Is there some way to do this in one step?
    If I need .tiff's of .psd's, I just use the edit in photoshop function, because that has the option to automatically stack with original, but there is no option that I can find for other formats.
    Thanks

    Right, then until 2.0 comes out, I'll try the watched folder idea that John suggests. Yea, I was talking about raw files, but also psds or really any "digital neg".
    As for the workflow import-process-export, and the final product not needing to be re-imported because it theoretically needs no more processing, this would be fine if one used lightroom to organize digital negs and bridge to organize absolutely everything, including final versions for various media, but I'm glad that adobe has realized that at least some of us use are trying to use lightroom without opening bridge a lot of the time. Although I haven't even tried using bridge that much, maybe there are advantages over lightroom as a central depository.

  • Exported and later Imported .pst files retain the permissions from the original Mailbox.

    After migrating from Exchange 2003 to 2010 something strange happens when exporting folders to a .pst file and importing them in another mailbox.
    The acces right that are applied, are those from the original mailbox.
    I have been searching on the internet about this strange behaviour, but it seems our organization is the only one where is applies.
    Does anybody have any ideas what can be the cause?

    Hi,
    For example, userA was granted permissions to the Inbox folder of userB's mailbox. You exported userB's Inbox folder to PST file and then imported to userC's mailbox. After that, userA had permissions for Inbox folder in userC's mailbox as well. This is
    what you had encountered, is it right?
    Generally, permissions aren't preserved when you export folders to PST file, only the content itself is exported. I recommend you remove this mailbox folder permission using the Remove-MailboxFolderPermission command to check the result.

  • Lightroom catalog export and re-import

    I am not new to Lr, and I do know how to export catalogs, or collections, etc.  However, what I am concenred about it is exporting, lets say a collection "as a catalog" and taking it to another computer for edits, then bringing it back to the origianl computer or hard drive.  My concern is in how it comes back to the original computer.  Is there a way to do this so that it goes right back exactly the way it was before I exported it?  I don't want the edited collection to come back as a new or separate collection.  Is this something that can be done?
    Thanks a lot.
    Richard

    Thanks for your response.  What I'm essentially wanting is for the new edits to go into the catalog and after that there being no indication there was ever an export/import... In other words my folder structure on the master computer to look the same.  Also, is it true that once the edits are imported back to original computer/catalog - the raw image files that were originally exported as part of the "export as catalog" can be deleted as they are now just dupes, or extraneous?
    Thanks again.

  • Pre-export    and post-import tasks

    oracle8i/windows 2000 server.
    i would like export my database from my organisation and import into my local
    machine at home.
    what are the precautions,tasks and post tasks
    ,i have to take during import and export.
    c.santhanakrishnan.

    Why are you exporting your organisations db to import at home? Are you aware of the privacy issues this raises? Do you have approval from your organisation?
    Exporting -
    o NLS_LANG is set correctly
    o Available space on disk
    o consistent = y
    o recordlength=65535
    o direct=y
    o log=<logfile_name>
    o do you require grants, indexes?
    o A feedback for progress,
    o But even with consistent = y that is table consistent and there is a probability you may run into a problem with FKs (usually when exporting large amounts of data) and tables in the beginning of the export have child tables near the end of the export which (the child tables) have records inserted during the export which won't have a parent record on import and will be rejected.
    Importing -
    Some depend on the data volume. Do you want to -
    o NLS_LANG is set correctly
    o drop, re-create indexes to speed up import
    o put the database in NOARCHIVELOG (if possible)
    o need to also create public synonyms
    o check triggers and if they will fire?
    o need to create the schema/user to import (if it doesn't exist in the import database and is not a full export) ?
    o do the tablespaces that the export was taken from exist in the import database?
    o disable/enable FK constraints
    o enough UNDO space
    o enough archive log space (if in ARCHIVELOG mode)
    oset a buffer (size depends)
    o set a feedback to monitor progress (or check rows_processed in v$sql)
    o if data already exists in the tables, does it need to be truncated (which raised other issues, constraints etc, take a backup prior to truncate?)
    I probably missed stuff too.

  • Export and Import of mappings/process flows etc

    Hi,
    We have a single repository with multiple projects for DEV/UAT and PROD of the same logical project. This is a nightmare for controlling releases to PROD and in fact we have a corrupt repository as a result I suspect. I plan to split the repository into 3 separate databases so that we have a design repos for DEV/UAT and PROD. Controlling code migrations between these I plan to use the metadata export and subsequent import into UAT and then PROD once tested. I have used this successfully before on a project but am worried about inherent bugs with metadata export/imports (been bitten before with Oracle Portal). So can anyone advise what pitfalls there may be with this approach, and in particular if anyone has experienced loss of metadata between export and import. We have a complex warehouse with hundreds of mappings, process flows, sqlldr flatfile loads etc. I have experienced process flow imports that seem to lose their links to the mappings they encapsulate.
    Thanks for any comments,
    Brandon

  • How to export and import albums between libraries in AP2

    In AP2, I transfer projects from my travel library to the home master library by exporting each project and then importing it into the master library. All objects created within a project will transfer over.
    However, I'm not sure how to export and then import objects that are "outside" of specific projects, for example, an album or smart album that pulls from multiple projects.
    Can anyone tell me how to transfer these sorts of objects between two libraries?
    Thanks

    Ian,
    So, in other words, you're saying that it's not possible to export directly objects (like smart albums) that reside outside of projects?
    I know, for example, you can "export" anything created inside a folder by dragging and dropping the folder to another library; but you then have to rebuild the library to get the new folder and its contents to be recognized. For my library, this takes too much time to do.

  • Export and Import of Configuration Data

    Hi All,
    I have created a number of custom properties, structures, groups, renderers, layout sets etc and would like to move them from Dev to Test system.
    I have found the following in the help doco:
    "Export and Import of Configuration Data"
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e1/029c414c79b25fe10000000a1550b0/content.htm
    However I am unable to see its functionality in our portal systems (namely the Actions->Export and Actions->Import functions).
    Our version of Portal is: 6.0.9.6.0
    KM: 6.0.9.3.0 (NW04 SPS09 Patch3)
    Therefore we should be able to see it? no?
    Are there any special settings to see these buttons?
    Cheers,
    Vic

    Thanks for your replies.
    OK, so in otherwords, it is not available in SP09 and only in SP12+.
    So, to "transport" this information I will have to manually reapply thes settings in the Test system!

  • Interesting Problem: Songs get lost when exporting and importing a playlist

    So I exported my library as a txt playlist, removed some songs, and imported that new smaller playlist, and I get the "some of the songs in the file were not imported because they could not be found."
    I then exported the new playlist to compare, and there were about 200 songs that itunes wasnt able to import (even though they exist in my library). I didn't alter any of the data in the origional playlist txt doc (only deleted rows), and didn't move the files at all.
    Of the files that weren't imported, I can play just fine in my Music library.
    Any ideas why some of the songs exported from itunes, can't be imported as a playlist?
    For troubleshooting purposes: none of the songs are protected, the largest text length in any field of the ones not imported is 195 characters, all of the songs are on a removable HDD but the HDD is connected just fine (I can see and play the songs it doesn't import back in from my library).
    If this is confusing, I'll tell you what I am doing and hopefully it will make sense. I like my music labeled thusly: White Stripes, The NOT The White Stripes
    The way I find to best acheive this is leave the artist field The White Stripes, but make Album Artist field White Stripes, The
    So I wanted to find all the songs with artists that begin with The (and no I don't want to just search because I end up with a lot of extra stuff, and sorting by artist doesn't group all of the bands with the in the T's). So what I did was export my library as a playlist, sort by alpha in excell (where The White Stripes shows up in the T's instead of the W's), deleted everything else (except the header row of course), and tryed to import the playlist hoping I could just change stuff by selecting the playlist). But it didn't import a bunch of my songs that the program itself exported a few minutes earlier.

    kherova wrote:
    still curious why a playlist exported from iTunes is not always a vaild format for input back into iTunes
    Not sure, but editing a playlist export and then importing the change back into iTunes is kind of dicey -- maybe you edited too much and cut off some important information? Glad that your ultimate goal has a solution though.

  • Product Release Date being default set to 01-Jan-2000 when exporting and importing product file

    Hi there,
    Just putting this out there to see if anyone else has experienced this problem.
    We've just redeveloped an art site that relies on the product release date to order work, newest first, by the date they added it  {tag_productlist,,,20,releasedate,true,true}
    However, we've hit an issue whereby the 'release date' field is set to 01-Jan-2000 when we export and then import the product file, thus chnaging the ordering. The date can't be set on the import file (unlike web apps) and we haven't changed thousands of products manually. BC support have been stumped, suggesting it's our Mac's system date, but this is set automatically and accurate...and we don't want to change the release date anyway, that should just be the date the product was originally released.
    Any thoughts or help would be greatfully received as this was a key part of the site design/development. This is the site http://hanguppictures.com
    Cheers
    Paul

    Ran into the same issue. I was using the release date to flag latest products, regardless of ordering. Unfortunately running a product import then destroyed all that work.
    Found this thread with a staff reponse regarding it not being possible to set release dates using import, but it doesn't explain why release dates get reset.
