AAF linking to external media

hi
we are an audio post production house.
we're working on a drama series where we need to retain sound file metadata in the AAF/OMF when it is exported from FCP, so we can auto-link to the sound recordists rushes in Pro Tools.
the only way metadata can be retained using Avid is to export an AAF linking to external media.
it appears this option is not possible using FCP (nor using the automatic duck plug-in).
does anyone know of a workaround where an OMF, or even better an AAF can be created linking to a pool/folder of source audio files, rather than embedding the audio within the file?
thanks

Not yet.
You can use Gallery's XML Pro software, though, it might do what you want (though it makes a Pro Tools session, not an AAF or OMF)...

Can I move my itunes library from my C Drive to another external Media?

I currently have my itunes library on my c drive but it is quickly filing up with all my itunes video. I was wondering If i could transfer my library to an external media drive without screwing up my ipod sync and all my files???

Post back if you have questions about your particular setup!

Our Windows PC crashed with all our music on it. There are copies of both purchased (thru iTunes store) and from our own CDs on another HD in a backup file. They are not linked to a Media file. Is there any way I can put this music on my new computer?

Changing my external media drive question

My external media drive is full so I need to move the contents over to a new larger drive. I have another use for the old drive so want to reformat it.
Some of the media on the HD is in use in a project that's underway. I don't want to create problems with file linking and FCPX not knowing where to find the referenced media so thought I'd ask BEFORE I do something stupid.
Can I do something as simple as rename the new larger drive the same as the old drive and have FCPX notice the switch? I assume that's too simple & probably just a fantasy. Can anyone tell me the 'right' way to do this?
Thanks.

Just select the project in the Project Library and go to File>Move Project. Then tell it where to move it to.
Do the same with Events.

I have all my music on an external media drive that has crashed. How can I get the music of my ipod touch back onto the comupter without loosing the music when it syncs?

You should be able to recover the media with the tips in this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That should switch the assocation of the device to the new library but it is not something I've personally tested.
When you get it all working, make a backup!

Can I change managed media to external media in FCP 10.1?

I just upgraded to Mavericks and FCP 10.1.1 and I think both are great software so far.
I am working on a documentary with about 250 GB of HD footage. The footage for the project was all on the same external drive where I am saving the Library, and I thought I chose "Leave files in Place" when I imported to save hard drive space.
I have done a lot of keywording, markers, synchronizing clips, color balance tests, etc. though no real timeline editing at this point.
But I discovered today that the Library is huge: ~270 GB. That suggests I imported the media to be "managed media" rather than external. This means the media is taking up twice as much space on the hard drive as it needs to.
Is there a way to remove the imported media from the Library but keep the pointers to the original media and also keep all the keywords, markers, etc. I have already done? I'd like to switch it to "external" rather than "managed" as if I had chosen that when I imported (which I must not have done). But I don't want a new copy of the media files (see Note #1 below), I just want to point back to the source footage on the same disk.
Notes:
I found info about using "Consolidate" and foolishly tried that. Now the Library in question is reduced to ~45 GB and there is a folder I saved the files to that is ~250 GB. So the external drive now has a 45 GB Library, a 250 GB Consolidated files folder and 250 GB of original footage files. I still want to get rid of the duplicates of the original media without losing the keywords, etc.
The footage is well backed up elsewhere (2 copies of the raw footage on separate drives).
Thank you!

Thank you, Luis.
I appreciate your advice but am not clear about a few things.
1.
For some of the clips in the Event Browser, "Reveal in Finder" is greyed out. I did some digging in the "Consolidated" folder in the Finder and confirmed that the three I checked just now are, in fact, there in the "Consolidated" folder and should be accessible from the "Reveal in Finder" (but aren't).
2.
There is no "Show Original" option when I select one of the files in the Finder.
[I'm not sure how the symlink works in Mavericks (or other recent OSXs), but when I "Reveal in Finder" from the Events browser, the items in the "Consolidated" folder are listed with the name in black type and the Date Modified, Size, Kind listings in greyed out text.]
3.
The names of the files that are revealed by "Reveal in Finder" have the date of import into FCPX plus the term "(id)" appended:
for example: "2013-11-15 17_02_44 (id).mov"
I changed the names of the clips in the Event Browser since they had all come in with the default date-time format and I wanted to clarify for myself what the files were (there are 428 files at this point). So that name probably matches what it was originally imported as.
4.
The footage is stored on the hard drive as the raw format recorded by the cameras (a Canon and a Sony). So the original footage is in typically byzantine folder structure.
For the Sony footage it's:
XDCam Raw...>
     BPAV>
          CLPR>
               -03_8354_01>
                    -03_8354_01.MP4
                    -03_8354_01.SMI
                    ... (several other files)
So I'm wondering if FCPX has to import this footage into mangaged media since the source footage is raw.
And I'm uncomfortable deleting the original raw footage (yes it's backed up elsewhere but this is my only local backup).
So I'm back to: Can I save space by changing the currently managed media into external media without duplicating all the media (as I did when I did the "Consolidate" command)?
Or does the raw footage have to be imported and used as managed media since FCPX can't work directly with RAW Sony and Canon footage?

I am trying to reinstall iTunes on my PC (Windows Vista) and download stalls at the end and message reads "The procedure entry point kCMByteStreamNotification_AvailableLengthChanged could not be located in the dynamic link library Core Media.dll"

I am trying to reinstall iTunes on my PC (Windows Vista) and the download stops just before completion with the following message: "The procedure entry port kCMByteStreamNotification_AvailabileLengthChanged could not be located in the dynamic link library Core Media.dll" Also "error 127. Any suggestions?

Okay. Trouble at the "publishing production information" stage also suggests trouble with Apple Application Support.
Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Archive Link and external URL Link

Hi,
we use Archive Link, NO own documents (like CV01N,..). We want to define different document types (oac2) and link them to via url to an external webserver, the user should see the doc in the normal attachment list.
Doc Typ    url
DOC1        http://www.xsfd.wer/show?...
DOC2        http://www.ssdfs.ver/show?
In oac0 (definition content rep) there is an subtyp called "URL", looks like it could be this kind of rep? All solutions and hints I found where based on DMS/KPRO not ArchiveLink. I don't want to use link to external Document via GOS.
Regards,
Christian

Dear all,
no, I found no solution to access automatically! And I was not able to find a definition of the "URL" Repository.
Best regards,
christian

FF 3.6.12 will not open links from external sources (Outlook, Dreamweaver, Digsby, etc)

I have just upgraded to Firefox 3.6.12 and links clicked in an external source will not open in Firefox.
Firefox is set as my default program for web browsing. I have tried to open links from Outlook, Dreamweaver, Digsby, and other programs.

I have the same issue, opening links from external programs like Word or Thunderbird does not work. This used to work before the update to 3.6.12

Links to External Websites Appearing in my Project

Hi,
Got a strange one here . . . it may be network related I guess, but I'm not sure.
I recently finished work on a large WebHelp project. When I outputed it to HTML I noticed that certain words have been 'hikacked' and used as links to external websites - webopedia.com being the most common:
Federated Instant Messaging (IM)
<a href="http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/F/network.html">networks</a>
allow communications across a variety of different IM <a href="http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/F/client.html">clients</a>
and <a href="http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/F/platform.html">platforms</a>.
A Federated IM network, has an open <a href="http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/F/directory.html">directory</a>
allowing other IM networks to message their users. Federated IM networks
often communicate using open standards, such as <a href="http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/F/XMPP.html">XMPP</a>.
It's almost as if Google Adwords or some other site has taken over my document. These are certainly not links that I have put in; I generally only link to other pages within the same document and hardly ever go out to other sites. The only external links I have added to the project are for legitimate sites (Adobe and Avaya).
Has anybody else experienced this, and does anybody know how to stop it happening?
Any help or advice would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Alex

Hello again Alex
Okay, question here. The document you say is exhibiting the issue, did you create that document yourself? If not, then perhaps whomever created the document to begin with added these links.
I suppose that you could troubleshoot this by creating a fresh document. If the fresh document doesn't have the mysterious links, you can rule out any automated and nefarious forces at play. But if creating the document DOES seem to contain the links, you have other issues at play here that warrant further and deeper investigation.
By the way, is this content originating from a Microsoft Word document or is it just basic HTML pages?
Cheers... Rick

How does Time Machine handle disconnected external media drive ?

I have an external drive connected to my iMac, and backup to a Time Capsule.
I prefer not to keep that external media drive connected all the time...
When I disconnect that external media drive and Time Machine runs, does TM perceive this as "deleted"?
With that drive disconnected, does TM then "release" the prior media drive backup and replace it as it needs space?
When I reconnect the external Media Drive, does TM see it as "new" or recognize it as the prior data and (presuming it's not over-written it) simply manage it incrementally?
Ultimately - do I need to either ensure that the external media drive is always available to use TM, or do I run the risk of screwy / uncertain behavior if it is sometimes present, sometimes not.
Gosh I hope that was clear for you experts out there ;-)
D

an external drive backed up to a TM would forever be retained in the TM... never flushed,
Correct. Except.......if the backup drive is close to becoming full, Time Machine will start to delete the oldest backups to make room for new backups.
So, if you have been backing up the external drive for the last year, and the backup drive is running out of space, you may not be able to go back a full year in Time Machine to see exactly how the external drive looked a year ago. You might only be able to go back 10 months, for example, instead of 12.
Most users really don't ever need to go back more than a few weeks or maybe a month or two to pick up a file that they might have accidentally deleted, so the fact that you might not be able to go back a full year or more to see how the drive looked at that time in the past, is not really that important for most users.
Most of us need to know that we have a complete, up to date backup of the external drive in case it fails.
Time Machine will warn you whenever it starts to delete the oldest backups, so if you really do need to be able to go back a year, or two years, or however long it has been since you originally started to back up the external......and you don't want Time Machine to start deleting the oldest backups of the external to make more room.....then you will need to add another backup drive and start backing up everything to that new drive.

APEX link to external source

Hi,
I was wondering if APEX had the functionality to link to external applications such as Digital Paper?
Right now, im my APEX application & Digital Paper Application, every viaduct is indexed by a Reference Number. Can I link my APEX record to pictures (in Digital Paper) by reference number?
Please Help!!!

Ok, so here's the deal...
I'm running an application that displays information on every viaduct in the city of chicago. Each viaduct has a reference number (unique).
I'm also running a separate application (externally) in a program called Digital paper. This program stores pictures of the viaducts, all indexed by the same unique reference number.
I also have an seperate application (external) that shows the location of the viaduct on a map. The application is called ArcGIS. These locations are also referenced by the same unique reference number.
I want to link these three applications together so that they work together so that I won't have to create duplicate entries. I also want to be able to go into APEX, see the viaduct information and be able to link to its mapped location or photo.
Am I shooting for the stars or what??? Is this at all possible?

Making link to external swf stop

Using flash 8. Inserted a link to a 2:15 second swf on the internet (get URL xxx.swf) at the beginning of my fla file, it plays fine but when the swf is over, how can I make it go away, in order to continue on with my presentation?

This is an onstage presentation so there are no buttons available, just
letting it play through. Doesn't sound favorable. Thanks very much for
your help.

If you have no control over that external swf there probably is not much
you can do outside of opening it in a separate browser window so that the
window can be closed and your original page is still showing in its
browser window..

How to upgrade/downgrade an existing Arch from external media?

Hi there!
After last upgrade of kernel and video drivers i got a blank screen with no tty console.
I read couple of threads in » Pacman & Package Upgrade Issues
I found out that the solution would be "to boot from external media, chroot and downgrade kernel to 3.9.9"
Questions:
1.How would i do that?
2.Should i downgrade or upgrade (if with the new kernel the issue is fixed)?
Thank you!

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/US … tion_Media
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Chroot
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrade
If the new kernel is fixed, that's the best answer by far. If it's not, downgrade until it is.
