API for batch export to CMS
Hello Experts,
I am trying to locate an API that could replicate the features of the publishing wizard, but for local wid files - ie, batch export local wid files to BOE.
Is this possible?
Regards,
Bobby
Does anyone have an Automator workflow or script that will give the same result as we can get from Quick Time Pro when we chose Export to Apple TV?Here is a RippleCast which may be of interest to you. You can open it directly in the QT Player using the "Open URL" File option:
http://homepage.mac.com/jrwalker4/.Public/Automator for the People.mp4/
In addition. remember that QT Pro is designed for parallel processing natively. You can, of course, open multiple source files and export them simultaneously rather than opting to "sequentially" process one file at a time, one file after the other. This approach does not save any time since each file is individually processed more slowly but has about the same effect as batch processing the same number of files sequentially. I usually just close the players and leave the multiple "Progress Bar" window open to monitor activity (or just go to bed) while QT is working.

Script for Batch Exporting XML from IDCS3 files
Does anyone have a script they would share for batch exporting XML from IDCS3 files? I do not know anything about scripting so I do not know how to write one myself. I've also searched around and cannot find anything. I would appreciate any help with this anyone can offer.
Thanks,
JanineOr use below Code:
try {
inFolderName= Folder.selectDialog ("Input Folder:");
outFolderName= Folder.selectDialog ("Output Folder:");
if ((inFolderName != null) && (outFolderName != null))
var idFileFolder = new Folder(inFolderName);
var files = idFileFolder.getFiles("*.indd");
for(myCounter = 0; myCounter < files.length; myCounter++)
var theDocument = app.open(File(files[myCounter]));
with ( theDocument ) {
myXMLFile = new File(outFolderName + "/" + name.replace(".indd","") + ".xml" );
exportFile( ExportFormat.xml, myXMLFile );
close(SaveOptions.no);
catch (err ) {
alert("All files export");

Is there an API in FDMEE to determine if an Event like AftLoad is being executed in Batch?
Hi
In FDMEE you can use custom scripts to be executed Before and After batch is processed.
To get that determination from Event Script you would have to build your own code to check if the LOADID is in AIF_BATCH_LOAD_AUDIT.
What are you trying to achieve? -
Know a trick for batch exporting from FCP?
to compressor and then to a cluster without the individual nodes each needing to have FCP on installed and running on each node?
Tried making a reference movie and mounting all source drives on all machines? Not officially supported... Of course it takes you past the "Export using Compressor" direct engagement with original media through a generation of rendering, so it might save you no time at all.

Problem in Batch Export Report
Hi all,
I have developed a report in PP module for Batch exports.
Here iam providing the input as plant, material no & batch and the output will be Orderwise material no, batch, mat desc, density and Quantity.
While executing the report the output is coming exactly for the first order while for the second order the values are not fetching correctly.
Pls suggest me.

I haven't checked the code but from the symptom you describe it could be possible that some fields used to calculate valeus are not getting cleared between calculations. This could result in some values from order the first order one being used in the calculation for values in the second order.

Compressor Lag when Batch Exporting
I'm trying to send five 1080p ProRes422 HQ sequences from FCP to Compressor (FCP Studio 3) for batch exporting, but it produces a HUGE lag every time I try to apply an export setting to a sequence in Compressor. We're talking 3-5 minutes of processing before I can move forward.
I simply selected the five sequences in the FCP bin and clicked "Send to Compressor."
Is managing five HD sequences truly too much for Compressor to handle or am I doing something wrong the the way that I am batch exporting?
By the way, I'm well aware of the batch export feature built into FCP, but I have to transcode videos several times a week into 5-10 different formats and I'm sick of having to manually tune the settings of each export in FCP. I want to be able to take advantage of Compressor's custom export setting profile management.I didn't realize that I could add more than one export preset to an item in Compressor. So all I needed to do was send the native sequence to Compressor and apply all five of the export profiles to that one sequence.
Sending five individual sequences definitely killed it though. -
No Method of Batch Export for Clips with Alpha Channels?
Good morning,
As many a flustered editor has eventually discovered, in order for FCP to export sequences with alpha channels to a 32-bit format, the timeline has to be un-rendered at the time of export, or else the transparent parts will appear black in the outputted file. This sort-of makes sense if you know how FCP and render files work, but in a perfect world I think I'd have designed the export interface a bit differently. Now that I think about it, I'm actually working in an Animation (Millions of Colors +) sequence, so converting transparent areas to black makes no logical sense at all.
Anyway, I have several sequences that I would like to export as 32-bit TGA QuickTime files, preserving their transparency. If I Export Using Compressor, the process results in pre-rendering of the sequence, turning the transparent areas black. The same problem occurs if I export QuickTime reference movies from FCP and open them directly with Compressor.
Does anyone know of a way to avoid this silly phenomenon or am I stuck individually exporting each sequence from FCP, one...at.......a................time?
Thanks,
ZapThanks, Andy, "Batch Export" eventually did the trick!
I forgot about that tool because I've never actually had to use it before! After playing around with it for a while, I found that as long as the sequence settings for each sequence in the batch are set to a codec with an activated alpha channel, it works just fine.
Thanks again,

Reproting tool(api) for exporting in xls files in different templates
Hi
I need api for exporting data into xls files. DIfferent reports everyone has own template and data.
Please suggest some free java APIs or tools that can be intergrated with java web application easy.you should use windward reports. we can use excel for the template, report, and now even the data source. And our design tool is word/excel/powerpoint, so you're already trained. you need a powerful, secure enterprise-level Java/J2EE reporting engine to back your critical reporting and document generation systems.
The Windward Engine installs easily, runs on one or more servers as part of your server-based application, and can easily produce hundreds of thousands of reports per day on a single server. The server is a pure Java product (and also is available as pure .NET).
Even better news for you guys: When combined with the Windward report design tools AutoTag and AutoTag Max, users design, schedule and run reports from within Microsoft Office. That means you can turn over reporting to the business group and get back to more interesting work.
You don't have to take my word for it. Check out this [robust Java reporting engine|http://www.windwardreports.com/java.htm?source=pday909&campaign=pday909&utm_source=everyr&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=pday909&id=203] for yourself. -
Best approach for accellerating batch export of jpgs/pngs
To all who continously amaze me with their knowledge of scripting arcana.....here's some lead to transmogrify into gold.
I've ironed out kinks of how to script a batch-export metadata and generate bitmap artwork (of whatever type) for a complicated set of folders holding .ai files. My script finds all of the AI files, exports the metadata to a text file, captures and logs errors without crashing, and opens each file to generate my full-size thumbnail.
Works great, but isn't built for speed. The extraction of the metadata is blisteringly fast, but from what I can see I have to actually tell Illustrator to open the file before I can export the jpg or png, which forces illustrator to render the screen before doing the export.
Is there any way to speed this up? Opening in preview mode (not scriptable?) still results in the calculation of the visibility and blurs, even though they aren't displayed.
Would love to learn that I've made another beginner's assumption...maybe having bridge do it instead might be better?
Thanks all
-AlexOnly *.psd export has the options for resolution… with the others it's 72dpi and you use scale ( PITA ) so if you do need a given resolution… first you need do the math and export then you need another app to resize… If your *.ai files are pdf compatible ( mine always are ) then you can just open in Photoshop…

Batch Export Trick for Logic using Markers and XLD
I've always wanted apple to implement batch export of multiple audio files from logic using markers as delimiters. So you can mix a concert and export it in one go without having to hang around and re-start bouncing for each track.
Now you can do this (albeit in a two step process) using Logic 9.1 and the free and wonderful XLD!
Just place markers in your project and bounce as AIFF (this is the only format that seems to work with this, so you are out of luck if your bounce file is going to be larger than 2GB). I suggest placing a marker at the very beginning of the project too so you first file is not called "Timestamp_0" or some such thing. You can even name the markers with the name you want each file to have, though keep in mind files will sort alphabetically of course once they are split if you have a specific order - so maybe preface them with 01, 02, 03, etc etc.
OK - now go get XLD (the GUI version):

download, install and run it. No window will appear at first. Open the preferences and choose your desired output format and options, directory, etc
drop the AIFF file onto XLD (I've put XLD into my Finder window toolbar for easy access). When it asks you to open the embedded cue sheet, say "OK" and your markers should appear as a list of CD tracks that you can play double click to play with a player interface and preview.
Then press "Decode" and voila! All your markers as separate audio files with the marker name, in whatever format (including the multiple formats option) you set XLD for.
You can even edit metadata at this stage (but first consider whether your output format supports it)
Some of the formats XLD can produce are
AIFF
WAV
Apple Lossless (saves some space!)
FLAC
AAC
MP3
OGG
etc etc
Personally I think this is an absolutely fantastic trick and am happy to have discovered it. Hope it helps you too.Also, if you have gaps in the original session, put a marker at the end of the previous section and call it something like "end". Then you can uncheck all the "end" 'tracks' in the cue sheet and they wont be exported in XLD.
Oh and it also seems XLD will preface your marker delimited files with their 'CD track' number. Useful to keep them in order, but they will probably want to be changed if you have gaps you took out with extra "end" markers. -
Is there a way to select multiple sequences and batch export them using the same settings in CS6?
I am a current Final Cut Pro7 user and looking to switch over to Premiere Pro CS6. We edit approx. 100 short (15 sec.) videos daily, and then select them all at the end of the day and batch export them over night using the same export recipe for all. I have having trouble finding an easy way to do this in Premiere pro CS6, as command +E is grayed out if i select more than one sequence at a time.
so far, it appears that i have to select each video individually and manually set encoding recipe and export location for each.... Not only would this be terribly time consuming, but it leaves a lot of room for error and missed videos. I thought i would be able to send all of the sequences to Adobe Media Encoder, but i dont see that option either.
Any suggestions/
thanks!Open Media Encoder and add your Sequences:
File > Add Premiere Pro Sequence
Navigate to your Premiere Project and select it in the list.
You can then select multiple Sequences from the Project (Ctrl+Click)
and load them all at once into Media Encoder and apply
the same encoding preset to all Sequences at the same time. -
Java API for running entire ".sql" files on a remote DB ( mySQL or Oracle)?
Hi,
Would anyone happen to know if there's a java API for executing entire ".sql" files (containing several different SQL commands), on a remote database server ?
It's enough if the API works with MySQL and/or Oracle.
Just to demonstrate what i'm looking for:
Suppose you've created sql file "c:/test.sql" with several script lines:
-- test.sql:
insert into TABLE1 values(3,3);
insert into TABLE1 values(5,5);
create table TABLE2 (name VARCHER) ENGINE innoDB; -- MYSQL specific
Then the java API should look something like:
// Dummy java code:
String driver="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
String url= "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/myDb";
SomeAPI.executeScriptFile( "c:/test.sql", driver, url);
Thanks.No such a API, but it's easy to parse all sqls in a file, then run those command:
For instance:
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.Properties;

How batch export layers to files png in cc
I am having trouble with an export layers to files script i am wanting to batch export layer to png and this script i have seems to be the one i want although every time i run the script i get this error message "could not complete the action since the destination folder doesn't exist" the script required me to hard code my destination path the path i require is "C:/Users/Tim/Desktop/Backdrops/png/" I am not completely sure why its stating it does not exist any help would be greatly appreciated. i have tried to contact the creator but the post it was on was very old.

// End X2L.jsxI have put the like var exportPath = "~/Desktop/Backdrops/png/"; and have removed the exportPath = exportPath + '/layers';
but when i run the script it still comes up with the error
could not complete action since the destination folder does not exist
if you are using the extendedscript toolkit would be able to run the script and see if you know were the problem is coming from i cant seem to understand why its not seeing the destination.
thanks for all your help

Action batch export issue with image trace
So, currently I'm working on batch processing jpeg sequences using illustrator's image trace and distortion effects. I have batch exported the image traces of the sequences via Adobe bridge. Now I'm trying to create an action which opens the .ai files containing those image traces, apply a graphic style to the trace, and export a png from that. I'm banging my head against the wall trying to get this to work right now. If I do the steps (step by step... not using a recorded action) I want on a single file, it works great, but the moment I batch export using the action I've created, it puts the original .png image that the image trace was linked to, on top of the image. The result is a bunch of .png exports that look exactly like my original image sequence. If I add a "save" function to the action and open the resulting .ai files, I can see that the image trace vectors are in the file. The "linked png" however visible on the layer above those vectors. Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? How do I get rid of that pesky linked image.
Also, for anyone who might be thinking that it has something to do with expanding the image trace before applying effects, this issue I'm running into, I've determined, is happening higher up in the hierarchy of the actions... If I simply make an action to open the image trace illustrator file and save it back out, the same issue occurs... placing the .png "linked file" on top of the vector image.
While I'm at it, I might as well ask if anyone knows how to change the illustrator default image trace preset.... Without being able to change it, or much less specify in the action sequence that I'd like to use a user created image trace preset rather than the default setting, it's greatly overcomplicating my workflow. Makes what could easily be one-step batch processing into two. Seems pretty silly if you ask me.
Please, if you guys have any insights on this, let me know. It's super frustrating... By the way, if you're wondering what type of effect I'm going for, the idea (as well as some explanation into their own process) starts at 12:44 of this video (http://vimeo.com/77427470).
THANKS!Just wanted to let you guys know, for anyone who might be having my same issue... My home computer, even after a fresh install of Illustrator, was still placing the linked jpeg over the traced vector shapes when batch exporting... I did however find a workaround. Rather than using Bridge CS6 for the batch image tracing, I used Bridge CS5 to trace in Illustrator CS5. Then, I used Illustrator CS6 to batch export an action that imported and applied an effect to those image traced sequences. When you do this, it forces you to expand the tracing on import (because of the difference in Illustrator versions I'm assuming). This way, when you batch run the action, it's already working with expanded vector shapes. Not sure why this works, but it does.
Also, I was having some issues getting Illustrator to apply the graphic style when batch exporting. I got it to work by copying an object with that particular graphic style to the clipboard, then adding in the action I was running a "paste" command, followed by a "clear" command. I can only assume that Illustrator was having issues loading custom graphics styles while batch exporting. The paste/delete technique is annoying, but gets it done.
Anyways. Just wanted to check in on this one. I'm happy I was able to muscle my way through it all. -
Using BATCH-EXPORT on subclips vs MM to create independent media files
I've been capturing full HDV tapes with the DV Start/Stop Detection turned on and everything has worked just fine - until now. I'm now encountering a problem w FCP "Searching for Media" on roughly 25% of my clips DURING capture, and in the process, losing about 5 seconds at the start of the clip. I've been having lots of problems w my G5 over the last couple months and it's been acting quite slow and I imagine this is related to that.
So... after a full 2 days trying to get Media Manager to create independent media files from my subclips (after capturing a twenty minute chunk whole, then breaking it down), following the FCP manual volume II pg 42 to a tee... I concur w many others on this site that Media Manager *****! No matter what I did, it would not produce new files out of my subclips and instead kept giving me the same error: "Reconnect Media Failed. The clip such-and-such was unable to be reconnected to the trimmed file due to a mismatch of the media present in the file... yada yada." Yes, I shortened the end of the first subclip by a couple frames, and I also had another subclip to delete, and I tried going straight from the bin, then from the timeline, then after making all clips independent in the timeline... nothing!
Then I discovered BATCH EXPORT.
Using it, I exported my HDV subclips using Quicktime Movie, Self-Contained, HDV 30, audio and video. It processed 20 minutes of subclips in just a few minutes so I'm fairly confident that no real 'processing' occurred.
Can someone verify for me though that this is a safe procedure and that I am not re-processing HDV files with more HDV nonsense? Before continuing, I would just like to know for sure that Batch Export produces exactly the same result with subclips then if I were to simply capture one clip at a time.
Thanks a bunch,
ChrisI can confirm that it does not merge audio tracks. Track 1 and 2 remain the same. In fact everything appears as it would if I were to capture direct, I just want someone who knows better to validate this!
Also, has anyone else experienced the slowdown during log & capture that I described, with the intermittent message "searching for media"?
