Archival Project Advice

Friends,
I've been digitizing my church's old Sunday services (on cassette) from years past so that they are preserved. I've recorded 24-bit Broadcast-WAV files into logic, which I then process using noise reduction plug-ins to eliminate tape hiss, enhance stereo image, etc.
Originally, I had thought that I would put each of these services on CD, with each CD having tracks for sermon, prayer, choir, offeratory, baptism, etc. using WaveBurner.
To keep track of all these files, I've created a Filemaker database which describes various attributes of each service (e.g, date, sermon title, presenter, length, recording quality, recording location, etc).
I'm rethinking my "CD-only" approach though. I would like to publish this database so that church staff (and congregation?) might access these old services in real time via intranet (or internet). It would be cool if one could, say, access and play only the "Baptism" from a given service in a given year.
So, to my question: Rather than creating separate audio files for each section of a service, is there a way I can tag certain sections of a single audio file (probably in AAC or MP3 format) in Logic or Waveburner (Soundtrack Pro?) so that only these sections are played? I would probably use an online database such as MySQL, or possibly Filemaker Server, to serve these audio files over the intra-(inter-) net.
Thanks for any thoughts/advice on ANY aspect of this huge project!

I'd recommend archiving the tapes @ 16-bit, not 24-bit. Otherwise you're using 1/3 more disk space than you need to given the bandwidth of cassette.
It's unfortunate that within Logic's sample editor that you can't highlight a section of an audio file and "save selection as..." in .mp3 format. However, there are alternatives...
a) use markers to delineate the various sections of the service, set your L/R locators to the respective start/end of each section, and then do off-line bounces to mp3 format. Or...
b) you could use the scissor tool to cut the various sections in-place. Then click on a section and use one of the key commands for setting the locators according to the L/R ends of the region and then bounce those sections (offline, to save time) as .mp3

  • Archiving Projects that use Nested Sequences

    I'm looking for some help using Project Manager to archive projects that use nested sequences. 
    I work at the University of Michigan, we are wrapping up a study that is based on files from many Premiere Pro projects.  Each project started with 150 to 160 min of video footage from two cameras.
    Of this we have edited down to a 10 – 20min finished sequence containing footage from both cameras as a two-camera shoot.  I want to archive eachproject (to save HDD space) retaining only the used sections of footage in thePPro archived project, allowing us to make minor edits to the projects.
    My workflow has been to rely heavily on nested sequences throughout each project.  From two sequences containing all of the footage from Camera1 and Camera2 all the way to the final cut sequence everything is dependent on a series of interim nested sequences. So the last sequence “Final” is based/linked on the very first sequences.  When I attempt toarchive this using Project Manager the nested sequence edits are not recognized as individual clips.  I either end up with all of the original footage or no footage.  I’m not sure how (if?) I can archive these projects in a way to eliminate all but the final file footage segments with 30 frame handles.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction or offer some advice?

    figure for $1000/terabyte drive
    Alot less than that, you can get a good Dual HD enclosure for $100 and probably less than that, and 500 Gig Drives for about $250 a piece, so assume about $600 without shopping too hard.
    I find it is alot easier to use HDs, and have a couple of copies for important projects. You can use the other items as another backup (never can have too many) and going to be easier than having to recapture, especially if there was dropped framess or timecode issues. Guess it comes down too how often do you have to go back annd re-edit a wedding DVD once it is done, and what will make your like easier when it is said and done, but if it happens, on the HD just open it up, otherwise you have to recapture the tapes which is a couple of hours at least it sounds like.
    As to archieve DVDs, who knows. There have been claims that the original CDs were to last 100 years, some of the ones I bought when they first came out started to go a few years ago. Same for some other media.

  • Importing archived project from DVD

    I used burn disk to arcive a project to a DVD. That seemed to work fine.
    I then started a new project and tried to import the "archived project from the DVD and I keep getting this error:
    The file could not be imported: The file “Macintosh Hard Disk/Volumes/Media Drive/Home movies/Billie Jo awards” can’t be imported; QuickTime couldn’t parse it: -43
    So far I am unable to import this DVD or anything else into iMovie
    Any Ideas?
    David

    Your Archived DVD Project will only open in iDVD.
    To access the video you will need the burned copy of the DVD
    To import your DVD you will need a DVD ripper. I use Mac the ripper http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22715.
    If you want to only import the video (to edit or watch on your computer) chose in mode chapter extraction and select the ones you want (yes you can select them all). Then you will need to condvert the .VOB file (found in the video_TS file) to a .MOV or H264 using FFMpegX http://ffmpegx.com/download.html. If the binaries dont work just press cancel (you dont need them for this conversion). Then import your .MOV or .MP4 file into iMovie.
    That should do it

  • How to block reusage of archived Project definition and WBS element numbers

    Dear All,
    We have archived our projects using the TC SARA and the Project definition and WBS elements numbers no more exist in tables PROJ and PRPS etc.. When I now try to create a new project, the system proposes the next open number or allows to enter a number which is the same as one of the archived projects. But in our organization we cannot reuse the Project definition and WBS element numbers (even if it is archived) as a rule.
    Can anybody guide me what are the possibilities to block or avoid the reusage of the numbers of archived project definition and WBS elements in a fool-proof way? 
    Thanks and regards

    One Workaround:
    Use T code OPSJ and lock the project coding mask. Doing this you can not use this mask any more.
    But you want to continue using the mask but with different numbers. Not sure how this can be acheived. lets wait for others view

  • Archiving Projects on DVD`s in FCP X

    I try to understand the ways to "archive projects" within the used events on DVDs
    1) i want that only the used media in the final timeline (Project) is copied.
    2) how can i minimize the data without corrupting the project -> deleting proxy and optimized media out of the folder before burning on DVD, so only the original media is there?
    What is a easy way to do this, and later on to start the project without getting problems with lost media connections etc?

    There is no full media manager in FCP. You can use the duplicate project function to duplicate the project together with only the clips used in the project, but it will be the whole clips. Do not duplcaite the render files. Unless it's a very small project, and the original media is heavily compressed, it's unlikely to fit on a DVD.
    P.S. Most likely you will not be able to do much editing later, just trimming, unless you have all the media.

  • How do I get my pictures from archived project back into iphoto?

    I trashed a few events from my current iphoto library to create some hard drive disk space.  I thought they were backed up on another drive (that is all except one event with pics and movies in it).  I have an archived dvd project with the pictures in it.  How can I get the pics and movies from the archived project in iDVD into the current library of iPhoto?

    Control-click on the iDVD archived project package and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu.  Then go to the Contents/Resources/stills folder.  See if your photo files are in there. Any movies or music files should be in the Contents/Resources/av folder.

  • Can you edit an archived project?!?

    I have a wedding project archived through iDVD08. I want to replace one song in the Reception of the movie. I do not have my original iMovie files anymore due to file size and hard drive limitations.
    Does anyone know if I can re-edit my archived project?
    Thanks to all!
    Greg

    OK... the Archive is a package. Control-click on it and select 'Show Package Contents'. Then the path is Contents>Resources>Assets>av Your movie clips will be in the av directory. COPY the movies you want and paste them in a new location. DO NOT simply drag them out of the package!!!!!!!

  • How to view archived projects

    Hi 
    As an administrator I want to view or access archive project,How Can I do that
    PS- I have archived project using below method
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg597607(v=office.14).aspx

    The process indicates only non-admin users be given the Deny permission to view, so as an administrator you should be able to access the project. You should be able to simply access that project fro project Pro, or a view like "All projects"..
    If you inlcuded yourself in that security group by accident, just take yourself out, and you will be able to see the project.

  • Getting "Media Offline" After Archived Project to HDD to Another Computer

    Hello,
    How do you avoid getting media offline when transferring a project to another computer's C drive?
    I use PrE9 and decided to transfer my project to another computer for performance purposes. I archived the project (copy, not trim) to an external hard drive first, making sure to synchronize the drive letters of the HDD in both old/new computers beforehand. Working from the external drive is fine -- no media offline issues -- but I wanted to transfer the archived project to my new computer's C drive. After doing so, the project is now riddled with media offline messages. I'd rather not deal with the clips individually as there are too many.
    What step(s) am I missing? I'm sure it's easy, but this amateur has a lot to learn.

    Well, when one changes the drive letter (or any part of the Absolute Path) with linked media, the first time that the Project has been Opened, those links will be broken. PrE should give you the dialog screen, asking "Where is file ____ ?" This article goes into much more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/990503?tstart=0

    Hi Kenny,
    Whenever you create a custom (Z) idoc type and want to trigger idocs for it you would need to use the MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE function module for the same.
    Hence to get some sample programs just do a <i>where used</i> on this function module.
    Hope this helps. Also please refer to the link below:
    <a href="http://">help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/78/21783151ce11d189570000e829fbbd/frameset.htm</a>
    to understand more about not only creating the outbound program using this function module but also about the related SPRO and other configuration.

  • Are 'Archived' projects in ver. 12 openable in ver. 13? ie. from Adobe Premiere bundled as Elements and Premiere.

    Subject: Are 'Archived' projects in ver. 12 openable in ver. 13? ie. from Adobe Premiere as bundled in  Elements and Premiere, their mid-level product.
    Can version 13 open up a version 12 archived project?
    How about vice versa? Have to be in a couple cities and have different version installations in different locations.
    Any insight? Support's closed and I'm heading out of town today, will need to use the 'other' version.
    Thank you.

    The ability to work natively with AVCHD files was not added until version 10, Michiel. So you'll still have to render while you work in version 8.

  • Problems importing Aperture 2 archived projects into Aperture 3

    Any suggestions please I want to import some archived projects from aperture 2 back into Aperture 3 from an external dive the projects are in folders named xxxx.approject. Aperture 3 sees the folders but the images are contained in separate folders within so for a project that has 600 images in it imports them all in individual folders which is a complete nightmare to sort out. Am I doing something wrong here or is this the way Aperture 2 exported projects? Any help would be appreciated.

    It should work. Just try it.
