Aperture Export Folder exports entire project

Hi,
I have a project - in this case called Kenya after a trip we took a couple of years ago. I have a folder under Kenya called Best - that I wanted to export to a new library (trying to consolidate some of the best photos from a few trips to make it easy to show slideshows on AppleTV).
The export worked - and it did create a new library with the folder in it - but instead of just copying the 300 photos in the Best folder, it copied all 8500 photos from the project (or in other words, the entire library).
Is there a way to do the export so it only copies the specific photos in the folder? I didn't see a way to control any of this in the export dialogue. And I did do the export action from the Best folder.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Adam

Hi Adam. Léonie has answered your question (or is leading you towards an answer). I wanted to mention that your goal can be accomplished easily without exporting (as long as all the Images are in one Library, which is the recommended set-up). If you detail your current set-up and workflow, I suspect we can offer some helpful simplifications and improvements.
Here is a concise to the parts of Aperture, including, of course, Folders.

Encore CS4 transcodes entire project for 1 exported sequence

Hello All. I am relatively new to Premiere Pro and Encore. I'm using CS4 and have the following problem: I have a Sequence in Premiere Pro that has 5 clips of roughly 1.5 mins each -- a total of 7.5 minutes. If I export that sequence to Encore using the Dynamic Link function Encore transcodes the entire Project before burning the 5 clips to DVD. Since the project has several hundred clips this transcoding takes about 1 1/2 hours. If I import the 5 clips directly into Encore as Assets, it only transcode the 5 clips taking about 20 seconds each. My question is why does Encore think it has to transcode the entire project and, more importantly, is there a way to change this behaviour. Surely it should recognized that there are only 5 clips to burn and transcode only those. Is there a setting I am missing?
Thanks in advance!
William

Hi and thanks for the response. The PP sequence settings are:
Editing Mode: 1080i
Timebase: 29.97 fps
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Anamorphic 1080
Fields: No Fields (Progressive Scan)
Display Format: 30fps Drop-Frame Timecode
(I'm omitting the Audio settings)
The properties for the clips are all the same(except for duration):
Type: MPEG Movie
File Size: 205.2 MB
Image Size: 1440 x 1080
Pixel Depth: 32
Frame Rate: 29.97
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Total Duration: 00;01;03;15
Average Data Rate: 3.2 MB / second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.3333
The transcode settings are the default (I key them in if it helps) for a DVD (not Bluray).
i don't export it without using Dynamic Link. The alternate method I used was to run Encore stand alone then create a new project (again default transcode settings) and I import the clips directly (File-Import As-Asset).
Something to note: When I export the sequence from PP what gets shows up in the Encore project is:
Name                                                  Type
Demo_Seq/HDV1 Project.prproj        Timeline
Demo_Seq/HDV1 Project.prproj         Premiere Pro Sequence
When I click build what it says it's transcoding is: Transcoding HDV1 Project.prproj(Video). This is the name of the entire project, not the sequence, and transcoding the entire project is consistent with the amount of time it takes. When I import the individual clips it says it is transcoding Clip1, Clip2 ... and the amount of time it takes is consistent with transcoding only the individual clips. It may also be noteworthy that after importing the sequence the individual clips are not present on the timeline looks as if it's a single clip.
I hope this is what you needed.
Thanks

I am getting quicktime error 50 when I attempt to export a retimed project in fcpx to youtube. I mix and match retime rates. I usaully have no issues. The entire project is retimed.

I am getting quicktime error 50 message when I try to share a project to youtube. I use retime frequently, mixing and matching rates with no issues. I am having trouble with this project. The entire project is retimed ( which I have done before), it is four minutes and change in length. I used different rates, holds as well, and
secondary storylines ( retimed to match the primary clip rate ). Any suggestions would be helpfull, thank you.

I figured it out:
FCPX does not support NTFS drives, even with Paragon NTFS working perfectly for everything else on the system.
I guess Apple (just) assumes that nobody will, or should, be using any other filesystem than Mac with FCPX.
I wasted hours looking for a solution, when a better error message besides a misleading "cannot allocate memory" could have been something more useful.
Not impressed.

In Aperture 3, how can I easily move entire projects out of my main Ap Library into other libraries? My Ap library is running super slow because it's overloaded l so I have created two new libraries, but can't seem to move the projects into them

In Aperture 3, how can I easily move entire projects out of my main Ap Library into other libraries? My Ap library is running super slow because it's overloaded, so I have created two new libraries, but can't seem to move the projects into them?

Hello Annabel,
To move entire projects export them as Aperture Libraries, and then import those Libraries into the other Aperture Library:
Select the Project in the Inspector, then
File -> Export -> Project as Library
In the other Library do:
File -> Import -> Library/ Project
But I am not quite convinced, that the size of your current Aperture Library is responsible for the slowness of Aperture - Aperture is designed to cope with huge libraries.
You may want to post your hardware setup and details of your library, and some of the hardware experts here may help you to find the reason for the slowness.
A huge library should only be a problem, if the projects are too big, and if you have many, many smart albums at the root level of your library.
So keep the projects small, and try to move some of your smart albums to lower levels in your folder structure (then Aperture does not need to scan all of your images to build the smart album).
Other reasons for Aperture's slowness may be, e.g.
An overfull system drive and/or external drive (keep at least 20% of your drives empty)
lack of RAM
a corrupted Aperture Library, that needs repairing
Have you checked those options, before you split your library? It would be a pity to split it, for you would loose the ability to browse all parts at the same time, to use all your images in the Media Browser, etc.

Scripting question: how to suppress Aperture dialog when exporting?

Hi Forum,
I started to write an AppleScript for Aperture to perform a backup. The standard backup procedures of Aperture are not quite right for me so I decided to write my own using AppleScript.
One question which arised was how I can supppress the dialog box which Aperture opens when an export could not be done because of a missing master. I want to suppress the dialog box and instead get an error returned from Aperture into AppleScript. is that possible?
Koen van Dijken

Hello Koen,
have you solved your problem by now? For me the following does work:
I does not seem to be possible to set Aperture to suppress the warning, so catching the error in a "try" clause will not help. The best option is to check, if the master image is online, before trying to export and skipping the offline images, like in this example, see: http:/dreschler-fischer.de/scripts/ExportMastersWithoutWarning.scpt.zip
on run {}
-- export masters, but check it they are online before trying to export
-- skip if not online
          set exportFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Choose an export folder")
          tell application "Aperture"
                    set imageSel to (get selection)
                    if imageSel is {} then
                              error "Please select an image."
                    else
                              repeat with i from 1 to count of imageSel
                                        try
                                                  set onlne to get online of (item i of imageSel)
                                                  if onlne then export {item i of imageSel} naming folders with folder naming policy ¬
                                                            "Project Name" to exportFolder
                                        end try
                              end repeat
                              return imageSel
                    end if

Linking to exported files from .exe project file

Hi,
I've read several posts regarding this issue, and it doesn't seem as though anyone has come up with a solution, but I thought that I re-energize the discussion.
I have a pretty large project and have encountered many problems while trying to compile it with Captivate. I've finally streamlined the project by creating mini swfs and inserting them as an animation on various slides within the overall project file and have been able to get the entire project to play in the preview modes pretty smoothly (with some minor issues that I'll save for another post). All links and buttons have remained in tact, and we are now experiencing very little sluggishness. I had hoped to package this project on a CD for beta-testing today. However, when I attempted to publish what I was hoping to be the final project file this afternoon and selected the .exe option, none of the linked items (swfs, pdfs) launched when tested.
Now, during the publishing process, I do receive the following message:
The file / projects linked below are linked to the open project. The linked files / project may require exporting.
It is also important to copy all referenced files and projects with their corresponding html files to the output folder.
Ok, "may require exporting" to where? All of the linked files are located in the same folder as the .exe file (pdfs, swfs, htms, etc.). What output folder is the message above referencing? I made sure that I didn't place any of these files with the exception of the pdfs into a separate folder so that they would be easily accessed. My back is truly against the wall here since I've been troubleshooting a host of issues with this application for weeks now and this project is supposed to be ready for prime time. Since Adobe doesn't support Authorware anymore and has been pushing this app down our throats the ability to obtain support and / or solutions to these types of problems does not meet the needs of the user. Does anyone have a solution which does not include the Aggregator?

Hi there
I believe I may be the one that assisted with the files.
I'd like to address some comments if I may.
MMCwebs wrote:
... I did receive some assistance from one of the gurus who created swf files for each pdf which assisted me in resolving the problem for that particular project,
however, those files only open the file names that were programmed into
the swf. I was never able to get him to provide me with the original
file to edit as needed...
The way I do these is by using a companion application that shipped with Captivate 2 and 3 called "MenuBuilder". There was no overt and secretive reason for not providing the source. The real reason behind it was that I was creating these on my end because the recipient didn't have MenuBuilder. Therefore the source files would be as useful as a buggy whip for making the car run faster. I'd have been more than happy to provide source files as long as they would be useful to someone.
If you have MenuBuilder on your own machine, it's quite simple to create the files. I've documented the steps needed on many occasions here in the forums.
Cheers... Rick

When exporting a 16:9 project using Qk Conversion, it says file is too big?

I just bought FCE HD, but I have been using regular express since early 2004. I want to send my 16:9 widescreen standard def. video from FCE HD to iMovie HD. The only way for iMovie to accept a widescreen video without pillarboxing it is through a DV stream file. I have done this numerous times with the older version without a problem, but now when I export my hour long video, in the middle of exporting using quicktime conversion, it says to file is too big. I have over 100 GB left of harddrive space, so why does it says it's too big? I have used the new Title program that came with the HD upgrade which offers HD text. On my DV-Widescreen NTSC project, I used HD text graphics and rendered them and they played fine, but when I try to export the text with the video, it fails. Could the HD graphics be the culprit, or is it something else entirely?

Yes. When I am trying to export the entire hour-long project using quicktime conversion, it says: error- file is too big, right in the middle of exporting. I am working off an external harddrive using firewire, this is so I have plenty of space for my videos. When I make my titles with the new title program that came with FCE HD, I switch the format of the text format, under project preferences, to HDTV 1080i 16:9. I do this not because my project is HD, WHICH MY PROJECT IS NOT HD, but because it offers a widescreen ratio for my titles. I can use the entire frame for my graphics and titles, etc. I save each and every file into a folder and load them into final cut when I am in final cut. It just has to render them as I go. I DO NOT save each file as a movie. When exporting, I export under quicktime conversion- DV Stream- DV, 16:9 interlaced, and I don't mess with the audio setting. The WHOLE point of this is for iMovie to read my file as 16:9 so it won't pillarbox it. IF ANYONE KNOWS OF A BETTER WAY FOR iMOVIE TO READ FINAL CUT HD FILES "16:9", PLEASE LET ME KNOW; if not, then what should I do about this exporting error?

I can't export or share my project.

Okay, I am a beginner and trying my best. But right now my best is definately not good enough.
I am using the 30-day trial of Final Cut Pro X with the latest updates. It's only limitation is the 30-day trial so I should be able to export and share my project.
After I mark the project and then click on the share-symbol->export I get the following message: "This item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera." I have also tried file->share but that menu is in gray and I can't click the options. If I click on any of the clips in the events window I can export them but that's not what I want to do.
I can't remove the trial and download it again since I can only download it once.
I suspect it might have something to do with my organizing the clips and the original files. My originals are in a folder on the desktop and that is the location I import media from into Final Cut's events.
If you have any ideas, please help me out.
Sincerely,
Edith

Thanks for your fast reply!
I had the copy to event function checked on. The folder is a regular folder that I created on my desktop. I have put other folders inside that folder, one of which is called "FILM" and contains 10 camera archive folders that the camera (Sony NEX-5N) created for me. That is how the footage was automatically uploaded onto my MacBook Pro. Each of the camera archive folders contains multiple clips.

Aperture won't export : Retina MacBook Pro

I've been struggling with getting all sorts of basic stuff to work on my supposedly top spec 15" Retina MacBook Pro, the latest is that it can't seem to export from Aperture. Finder really slow, attaching files to emails takes ages to open etc - so wondering if it is part of this problem.
Has anyone else experienced this. Obviously being a Pro App I'm going to be charged handsomly to talk to anyone at apple.
Occasionally it can export a single image at a time, the export folder location takes ages to open. Select multiple images and select "Exprt Versions" and absolutely nothing happens. Export originals, and it crashes Aperture. I'm begining to wonder just how far you can throw a MacBook Pro.
It really is the most disapointing Mac I have ever bought, lovely display, but if the computer behind it doesn't function its all a little pointless.
Done the usual reboot, disk permissions etc.
Thanks for any pointers
Stephen

Stephen,
It is new (ish, about 90 days, and covered by Applecare) but calling Apple help - as I have previously - as soon as you mention it is Aperture they want to charge money - a lot of it and with no guarantee of results - to talk about any issues as it is a Pro App - pity it doesn't behave like one!
Finder really slow, attaching files to emails takes ages to open etc - so wondering if it is part of this problem.
I'd really let the Apple Store sort out the system and hardware issues, as long as your Applecare lasts.
Make a backup of your system, best a bootable clone on an external drive (so you can easily revert back to your current state, or run your apps by booting into the clone) and reinstall the system without any third party apps and without Aperture, only the basic set of applications.
Then test your mail and Finder, and if issues remain, go back to AppleCare and present them with the proof, that it is the hardware and not the software.
You may find, that it is not Aperture at all, that is causing the problem, but an incompatible plug-in, kernel extension, "helper" applications, duplicate fonts, problems in the Aperture library inherited from iPhoto, incompatible videos in the Aperture library, an unsuitable drive hosting your Aperture Library. Where is the library located, btw? On an external or internal drive?

Export only part of project,timeline

Is there option to export only few clips directly from project,timeline?.. When I go to share I can share only entire project.
Or I must duplicate project, and delete everything what I don't want to share?

Another method is to use the Range Tool (R key).
Select what you require and only the selected section will export.

After Effects export as Premiere Pro project weird PAL/NTSC problem

This post is not a question. It's here, because I've found a solution and want to share with You.
I've noticed a strange problem during export from AE to PR.
Ok, here I go.
AE = After Effects CS3
PR = Premiere Pro CS3
My AE project is D1/DV PAL Widescreen. It is a sequence of slideshow with some video effects applied. I needed that sequence in PR. I was happy to find a new feature - export as premiere pro project (new for me - i am pretty rookie ;). Thaks to this feature I have saved most of my disk space that is always to low. But, like every first try, this one was not perfect too. I had two problems.
Problem no 1.
I opened exported project in PR and saw message like "video effect AE.CC COMPOSITE not present".
Whole composition was working perfectly except that one video effect that was fundamental for this project.
*Solution was as easy as it can be. I've just copied that effect from AE plugin folder to PR plugin folder. It worked for this.
Problem no 2
Like says AE Help "When you export an After Effects project as an Adobe Premiere Pro project, Adobe Premiere Pro uses the settings from the first composition in the After Effects project for all subsequent sequences."
Project settings in PR was exactly D1/DV PAL Widescreen. So where is the problem You ask?
Therefore why my Timeline works in NTSC 29,97 frame rate if all settings match PAL 25 frame rate?! I don't know.
*Solution to fix this annoying bug is to create a new project in PR with all settings for D1/DV PAL Widescreen in this case. Than just import that PR project exported from AE. Now timeline works like it should in PAL frame rate.
That's it.
I hope this post is helpful, because I didn't find any answer for this here in Adobe forum.

Who's says that Microsoft can't debug?
I used msconfig, first disabling startup items, -same result.
Enabled all startup items, disabled all non-microsoft services - AE worked!
I re-enabled each service in turn until AE crashed.
The fault was related to an item for a video streaming device I have in my house. It was Monsoon-multimedia's Vulkano Service. Sometimes under the old name of Hava, this is an app that acts like a sling-box to send my Cable TV to my screen. It does load a couple of virtual devices in device manager, and uses a proprietary codec.
I uninstalled the vulkano streamer application and rebooted the external Vulkano device. I reinstalled the Vulkano and verified it connected to the device and could stream. Once it did, I tried AE again and IT WORKED!
I wonder if simply rebooting the Vulkano would have fixed it. Its like opening the garage door to turn on the refridgerator.
Thanks for the help!

Aperture import - folder and project structure!

Hi, everyone!
I am a long time Picasa user, and I really enjoyed the way my imported images simply put themselves into folders in the interface, all named by date automatically. I have been trying out Aperture for some time now, and I just can´t find a good way to mimic this. There is seemingly no way for Aperture to automatically name my projects by date, unless it gets to split up some dumb album/project that I have to name myself.
I guess what I am asking here is: Is there any way to make Aperture automatically name, keep and update the same structure under "Projects and Albums" as id does in Finder?
And yes.. I know I should name my projects myself with sweet relevant names, but I don´t wanna! I really want everything to be sorted by date.
My solution at the moment: Import photos using no name in projects, Aperture splits anyway, I delete project in Aperture and then I drag and drop folder from Finder. Gahh... This is heavy work for one used to simple and obedient Picasa
Thanx!

Hello,
My solution at the moment: Import photos using no name in projects, Aperture splits anyway,
How are your "Impert Preference" settings and "Import Settings"?
In the Aperture -> Preferences -> Import set the "Split Projects" Selector to the longest possible value, two weeks.
And don't drag projects from the Finder, select them in In the "Import" Panel;
make sure you have all import options visible by enabling them in the "Import Settings" drop down, then uncheck: "Automatically split Projects" in the "Aperture Library Brick"

Hi,
That link takes you to the Facebook for iPhone app.
You have posted in the Mac App Store for Mac OS X. (I know it's somewhat confusing especially with the new forum format).
Try deleting the Facebook app from the iPhone by pressing down on the app on the iPhone until it jiggles then tap the circle with an x in it. Then tap the Home button to stop all the apps from jiggling.
Now tap the App Store icon and and re download the Facebook app again.
If that doesn't make a difference, post over in the iPhone Discussions forum at this link.
