2.1.4 Adj panel - creates 3rd version

I haven't used Aperture in some time -
Start edit adj on an image creates 2nd version - that's fine -
Check Color / Sharpen - then creates a 3rd version - Is this normal? - I don't recall this action.
Sure wish there was pop-up tips that confirms what's going on.

Look in Prefs for the option to make a new version when adjusting. Disable it. Does that fix what you were seeing?

Preference to "Create New Versions when making adjustments"

Isnt the option in Preferences "create new version when making adjustments" seem irrelevant when Ap doesnt touch the original (master) anyway? How is this option intended to be used? Most of the imags for me would be slight tweeks so I wouldnt necessarily want every one of those showing as a 'full new version'.

yeh, that would seem logical wouldn't it - to create a new version for each session... but that's not what happens.
i mostly use the HUD and don't close between adjustments but i do sometimes use the side panel which i also don't hide/close between adjustments. i can't remember whether making adjustments via the side panel creates new versions for every adjustment, certainly this behaviour happens when i use the HUD and i'm fairly sure i would have tried the side panel to avoid this annoying behaviour but i can't say for sure and will have to test the side panel behaviour next week if i get time.
even with the preference for 'create new versions' turned off, there seem to be certain images that always create a new version when i make an adjustment - whether using the HUD or side panel. I haven't figured out an exact pattern to this but it seems to be something to do with those files that have been 'sent to external editor'. subsequent adjustments within aperture always create a new version - haven't a clue why...
just as an aside, sometimes when i make adjustments (particularly sharpening or noise reduction) i get single pixel wide horizontal lines of noise appearing across my images, which are there when i print or export too, not just screen artifacts due to a badly processed preview...hmmm...anyone else noticed this or has found a post about ways to avoid this?
all that said, aperture is a godsend for my workflow

Aperture creating new version of image for each adjustment applied!

To anyone out there who can sort this one out, I will be forever grateful!
Here's the problem. I'll be jamming away in Aperture, adjusting photos like a madman. After adjusting a random number of photos (it usually varies between 5-30 photos or so after starting Aperture each time), the adjustments panel will no longer update when I click on a new image (i.e. it holds the info from the last image I adjusted and will continue to apply new adjustments to that last image even if another image is highlighted). If I switch to the metadata panel and then back to adjustments it will refresh itself and recognize the currently selected image (although I have to do this for EACH image I want to adjust once it starts acting up like this). The BIG problem is that even if I get the adjustments panel to recognize the selected image at this point, for EACH adjustment I apply it makes a new version of the image. For example, if I first change the contrast, it will make Version 2 of the image and select it (which is what it's supposed to do for the first adjustment, because I have "create new versions when making adjustments" checked in my preferences), but if I then make another adjustment like changing the saturation, it makes Version 3 of the image (from the master, so that only the saturation adjustment is applied and not the contrast adjustment). As you can imagine, this utterly destroys my once incredibly efficient Aperture workflow and makes it pretty much impossible to use Aperture for adjustments unless I turn off "create new versions when making adjustments" in the preferences, at which point it does seem to work again (although I've only tried it on a few images, so not 100% sure it will work properly even then). If I restart Aperture (or my computer), it will work normally again for a few pictures and then will start acting up again with the same problem.
Originally I was running into this problem on my PowerBook G4, and so I figured it was just because Aperture didn't like my wussy G4 processor and was acting up when the load got too heavy (after all, the adjustments would work fine for up to 30 images or so). However I recently purchased a sexy iMac 24" 2.8 GHz and maxed out the RAM to 4GB, but I'm still getting the same darned problem with Aperture on my iMac. Yes, I'm using the same library of photos I was using on my PowerBook G4.
This problem has been plaguing me for about 3 months now (everything else in Aperture works fine so I'm still using it to import and organize my photos, I just haven't been able to make adjustments on large groups of pictures for a while), and I've searched and searched these forums countless times to see if anyone has run into similar problems, but I've not seen a single mention of it. I've also tried EVERYTHING mentioned for similar problems (rebuilding library, vacuuming database, erasing com.apple.aperture.plist preference file, repairing permissions, reinstalling Aperture, making burnt offerings to Steve Jobs), and NOTHING is working. ARRGH!!
For those who might have some words of wisdom to offer this delighted-***-miserably frustrated Aperture user, here are a few more details about my setup:
I have a library of about 37,000 photos, the vast majority of them being RAW .CRW files from a Canon 10D. The 25GB library file is stored on my internal hard drive, and all photos are referenced from an external LaCie 500GB FireWire 400 hard drive. I have a LOT of export plug-ins installed in Aperture, but no image adjustment plugins. I have generated previews turned off for all projects. I've had the same problem on both my PowerBook G4 and new iMac 24" 2.8 GHz. One other thing worth mentioning is that instead of upgrading from 2.1 (which was already giving me this problem) to 2.1.2, I downloaded the full version of 2.1.2 and installed it. I noticed that my 2.1 Aperture.app file was less than 100MB, whereas the 2.1.2 Aperture.app file is over 300MB. Don't know if that's normal or not.
The only other thing I can think of to try at this point is to load a new library into Aperture and import a large group of pictures and make adjustments to them to potentially see if my problem is being caused by Aperture or by the library. Will probably try that tomorrow.
I would appreciate any advice or feedback anyone can offer about this nasty little problem, as it's giving me a serious hormonal imbalance.
THANKS!

Thanks for the reply RB, but my current workflow depends on me creating new versions when I make adjustments. I suppose as a temporary solution I will probably have to either turn this preference off or just be willing to constantly restart Aperture. At least I finally found another thread with the same problem, so finally I don't feel completely alone in the far reaches of the Aperture universe. For anyone who is interested, here is the link to that thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8555067
It appears this problem is closely related to the ubiquitous black viewer problem that seems to be plaguing far more users than my issue (although I've run into the black viewer problem a few times myself), as both problems force Aperture to output the following message to Console:
Main Thread Exception in Aperture: * -NSCFArray objectAtIndex:: index (1) beyond bounds (1)
It seems that both of these problems existed in Aperture 1 and 1.5 up until the 1.5.6 upgrade which seems to have fixed it, but then with Aperture 2 the problem seems to have returned. At least that's the gist of what I've been reading on a number of threads. Whatever the case, I hope Apple gets this sorted out in their next update!
As it appears there is no proper answer to this problem at the moment, I'm gonna go ahead and mark this thread answered (and since you were kind enough to at least take the time to reply RB, you can be credited with the answer... thanks!).

Create AAC Version failing in iTunes 8 for large files

Hi,
I'm having trouble converting a few large (1gb+) MP3 files to AAC versions.
The files are Audiobooks which have been ripped from CD, then merged into a single MP3 file (with a track CUE file created so I can add the chapter marks and create a final resulting M4B file).
The MP3 files are all encoded at 44.1KHz sample rate, 64Kbps bitrate, Mono audio. When converting anything under 1GB (using iTunes' Create AAC Version option), it seems to convert fine, however as soon as I try a file over 1GB it seems to start as expected, then get approx 2/3rds through, then restart. the restart however, does not start from the beginning, it starts from the point where it had got to. The resulting M4A file is corrupt and unplayable.
Am I doing anything wrong here, or is there some sort of size/length limitation on AAC encoded audio in MP4 containers?
On a side note, I have set the AAC import options to 44.1KHz, 64KBps bitrate, Mono audio, but this does not seem to be adhered to when converting an MP3 file, instead taking whatever settings iTunes seems to think as right...

Hi,
That software looks to be working perfectly so far - not only has it changed me from using three tools to do what this one does on its own, but it's also the first that's given me a clue as to why the other tools were failing!
When I first got it to convert the chaptered MP3 files across to AAC, it came up with a warning message saying something along the lines of "The audio files you have queued are a total of x,xxx,xxx,xxx frames long, which is longer than the AAC standards can accomodate. The following tracks will be removed...". Looks like it wasn't the filesize at all, but the bitrate was too high, and went over the file's limits that way instead.
Quick note on the settings: I tried the iTunes standard "64K Podcast" settings first of all, but the sample rate got set to 22K, which caused the speech to go all robot-like, and the S's slurred. Had to bump it back up to 44K (with 32K stereo bitrate, set to mono so 16K overall).
Overall, a very useful tool, thanks Chris!

ITunes create AAC version cuts track length

I tried everything from deleting and adding the songs. and Installing uninstalling iTunes. I don't know what to do anymore. iTunes cuts down the track time of the converted version and yes, This is happening to the most of the plays. I used everytime because I always convert my MP3s to iTunes M4A version but now it's broken. I found a same thread to this issue here, but I don't think they already found a solution. I know I can use another 3rd party software to convert my tracks but I know iTunes converts different and now these please help me.
Sometimes iTunes cuts down 1sec of the songs total time but it still matter to me.
I hope you can help me. But sometimes its worst cutting down almost 20sec of the song.
(check out the last song)

Same. Ever since i updated my iTunes, a lot of crazy things are happening like when a drag an album and you will see the playlist sidebar there forever until you restart iTunes and more. I need to create AAC version of my files so I can add explicit and clean tags to some of my songs,
The only solution I know: If you're using Windows, try creating a new user account or turn on the guest account. Then open iTunes there and convert your files. Then, Copy the converted files to your admin account. It will work for a "while"

How can I create multiple versions of a video within the same project?

OK...this is a probably a very basic question but I'm not sure how to word it clearly.
How can I create multiple versions of a video within the same project? What I mean is that I have a bout 50 minutes of video and I want to make two DVDs using different clips from this original 50 minutes of footage. It would be a real pain to have to re-import the video AGAIN for the second DVD. I suppose I could drop anything I don't want to burn to DVD back into the clips pane but that would wipe out all my transitions wouldn't it? I want to save each project in their “raw” form so I can burn additional DVDs later otherwise I would just do them one at a time and not care about one of them being destroyed.
Wow...that was a mess. Does anyone understand what the heck I’m asking? I hope so.

How can I create multiple versions of a video within the same project?
You can't. You make separate projects using the same or different clips, segments, transitions, titles, etc. You can even duplicate the first project and then modify/make the desired changes in the duplicated project. Each project can then be burned as a different DVD or as different titles on the same DVD if there is enough room.

How can i create multiple versions of a photo in ios8?

I Often want to create different versions of the same photo....with different crops, contrast, etc and keep them. In iPhoto, that was done with the duplicate command, but there does not seem to be the same capability in ios8. Any ideas?

Aperture creating new versions unexpectedly

One of my projects in Aperture started behaving unexpectedly yesterday and I still haven't figured out why. I was reviewing proofs with a client and we were making selections and adjustments to some of the images. We were working in a smart album that was filtered on 5-star ratings. We made a few new versions of some of these images within the smart album, made adjustments, and ultimately selected her picks by adding the keyword "pick" to her selected images. In retrospect I probably will change that flow so that when I make my original selects I will rate them as a 4-star and then up it to a 5-star when the client makes their picks.
But for now, back to the problem. All was going well with the workflow until I tried to rearrange some of the images within the smart album. When I dragged the first image to a new location it created new versions of several images. I think this happened multiple times before I realized what had happened, so before I new it the album was filled with duplicate versions. I deleted the duplicate versions, but I find that they keep cropping up unexpectedly. If I go to the parent project and then return to the smart album, it makes a duplicate version of every image in the album.
A light table and a book within the project are now also giving me trouble in that they claim to have images in them, but even with all queries turned off they do not show any of the images (and yes, the "show all images" button is selected).
Any thoughts on what could be wrong?

Mmm...I don't think this explanation tells the whole story.
Dragging an image out of the project container and into an enclosed (non-smart) album does NOT automatically generate a new version of the master image local to that album; instead, the album is populated with a new reference to the original version. Dragging that same image again out of the project container - or the first album - to yet another album generates yet another reference to the same underlying version.
Edits performed in any of these containers propagate to the images in all containers (within a particular project, of course), demonstrating that each type of container holds merely a reference to the project's single original version.
The Aperture User Manual is a bit ambiguous in its description (Chapter 5 pg 113) of the distinction between "copying" and "moving" images between projects and albums; I believe that when it refers to copying versions it's really talking about copying REFERENCES to versions between various containers.
So, long story short, I don't think moving images between the various types of containers within a single project can explain your duplicated images.

In the new iTunes you no longer have the 'create iPod version' or 'create Apple TV version,' for converting movies. Will this feature return..?

After installing the new itunes, I inserted some video files, and wanted to create a version for my iPod classic. Before, I could just click on the video and then select 'create iPod version' from the menu. It would then convert the file. However, this feature no longer exist. Is there another way I can easily convert my files?

Is there any way to tell "Create MP3 Version" where to create the files other than in the same folder as the songs you want to create the mp3 versions of?

I am trying to get MP3 versions of my non DRM protected songs onto a DVD so I can import them into my cars "Music Register".
There is no easy way to do this that I can see in Itunes . I follow this process..
Highlight the songs I want to copy in Itunes
Select Create MP3 version from main menu
Open up Finder Window showing the Itunes folder with the m4a and MP3 files newly created..
Go Up a directory or 2 to get the Artist 'folder'
copy that folder to my external drive
Delete the MP3 songs from the Itunes folder (I dont want duplicates showing) obviously
Delete the M4a songs from the external drive....
I have about 5000 songs so doing this manually is clearly a complete pain.
I dont think you can force it to create the mp3 files anywhere other than in the current folder in itunes unless someone tells me otherwise
More likely does anyone know of any other software to do this with less effort...
I confess to not being an Itunes fan at all I admit but I like the Match functionality so I keep it otherwise I would cheerfully chuck it in the bin...
Thanks in advance...

It appears I have figured it out. You gotta go down to where it says Destination and tell Lightroom to Organize into One Folder.

Thank you.

I have an MP4 home vid in itunes. I cannot get it onto my ipad. I tried "create new version" to make it into a format suitable for ipad, but the options were greyed out. Any help appreciated.

I have created a home video, using my Panasonic Camera, and a high definition SD card. It is now on my computer as anMTS file, which I converted into an MP4 as well.
But I cannot get this file onto my ipad. I have tried countless ways. I finally today thought I had the answer..........the MP4 file is now in Itunes (I hate itunes, it is so user-unfriendly) and I read that I need to click on it, go to "create new version" and select the ipad version. But those options were greyed out. !!! Aaargh! Frustration! Any help gratefully recieved.

You can try and import your MP4 using free OPlayer HD Lite via File Sharing.

ITunes crashes every time I attempt 'Create AAC Version'

Why, all of a sudden, using Windows XP and latest version of iTunes, does my iTunes crash every time I attempt to 'Create AAC Version' of any song? I've been converting to AAC for years, and I don't think I downloaded any updates recently but out of nowhere I can no longer use this crucial space-saving feature.

I was mistaken, the crash does not occur with just any song.. it is just one cluster of files. Even still, might anyone have a diagnosis and/or remedy for this issue?

ITunes 12 has no option to create AAC version

iTunes 12.0.1.26
iOS 8.0.2 (12A405) on associated iPhone 5S

Core i7-4700MQ 4xcore CPU @ 2.4 GHz
129 GiB free on bootable C partition (SSD); 509 GiB free on data partition (conventional magnetic HDD)
I make original ringtones. I just created a new one, imported it to my iTunes library first as an mp3, then as a wav file. When I right-click the associated file in either its mp3 version or wav version, the "Create AAC Version" selection in the context menu no longer appears, not even as a greyed out item, even though "Create MP3 Version" does appear.
Are .m4r files still the native ringtone format for iOS 8? Has the procedure for creating ringtones changed?

In Preferences (CTRL + ,), in the General tab, click on Import Settings...
You need to select AAC Encoder in the Import Using drop down menu.
Now Create AAC Version should appear in your right-click context menu.
