Audition 2.0, Windows 7, batch processing

I seem to remember finding a solution to this, but I can't find it.
If I remember correctly there is a change I must make to an ini file to make batch processing work under Windows 7. Someone must know what it is.

Audition 2 is hardly compatible with XP, never mind anything later! W7 wasn't even on the horizon when it was written, so all bets are off. It's the one release of Audition that most people moved away from as fast as humanly possible when Audition 3 came out...
But regardless of that, CD issues with W7 aren't exactly unknown, and may well be a bit of a pain to fix.

Batch Processing doesn't update files in Premiere Pro CS5.5

Hi,
I'm not sure if this question should be under 'Audition' or 'Premiere Pro', but I'm selecting a large range of audio clips (from a wedding ceremony) and sending to Audition from Premiere (selecting 'Edit in Adobe Audition')
When the clips appear in the files section of Audition I select 'Batch Process', drop them in and make the batch process start. When everything is finished and the files are automatically saved, I head over to Premiere to see if the wav's have updated - but nothing. Everything is exactly the same.
Any help would be great?
I'm not adding any prefix's etc to the filename, and I'm selecting 'overwrite existing files' and 'same location as original files'.
Cheers,
Thomas

Hi Durin,
Sorry for the delay, had a couple of deadlines to meet and ended up doing the hundred-or-so clips one-by-one in audition to get it done.
That's the issue exactly, I go back to Premiere after doing the batch process (and they all auto-save) but Premiere doesn't update the waveform or in fact the audio doesn't show the changes I've just made. The strange thing is that if I do them one by one, then Premiere recognizes the changes and I can get on with it.
The steps I take are: 1) Drop the clip in the timeline, do a bunch of editing (occasionally nesting and multi-cam editing a sequence). 2) Right click and Edit in Audition 3) Open Batch Process in Audition 4) Drag drop all the files just sent to Audition from Premiere, into the Batch Process section 5) Run batch process 6) Go back to Premiere and see if it's updated in the timeline. I wait, and wait, but nothing. Everytime.
I'm thinking it's something simple I've clicked, but have no idea what. Either that or it's some sort of bug issue.
I will be upgrading to CS6 creative cloud soon, hopefully that'll fix it.
If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them. Otherwise, thanks for trying.

How to delete silence in batch process using Audition CS6

I've started using Audition CS6 recently.
I'm able to delete silence at the beginning and end of the source audio files using delete silence effect (from diagnostics window).
I'm not able to record this as new favorite so that I can apply it in the batch process.
How can I delete silence at the beginning and end of the source audio files (1000 or more files) using batch process?
It will be of great help if I can get guidance on this, instead of manually editing these files.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

yes, the favorite is not aware of the diagnostic panel (and delete silence action).
and the silence at the beginning and end varies between the files, is there any way to deal with?
it doesn't look productive to scan for the silence and delete the silences manually for each individual file (for more than 1000 files).
can we create a macro or use some scripting in audition to deal with this in a batch process?
Or is there any other tool that's recommended to have this part done in a reliable manner?

Lack of Batch Processing Capabilties

Does anyone else find the lack of batch processing for most functions significantly reduces this tool’s capabilities? Why should I have to click on 50 files to provide the same noise reduction to each, for example? This is especially annoying when working with Captivate, for example. For me a suite of tools means that they have useful integration. So far it looks like the e-learning suite is a suite in name only. Anyone else share this view or am I asking too much from this very expensive tool set?

At this point in time, you may be asking too much. Soundbooth is only in its second generation.
Granted, it comes from Audition, and before that Cool Edit(?) but the predecessors served as a basis for the software and the development continues.
Honestly though, as a Toast user who was using CDSpinDoctor prior to SB, I can tell you that it's a world of difference. Things go a lot faster with Adobe products than they do with Roxio. CDSpinDoctor only works with AIFFs, so every last mp3 or wav has to be converted both BEFORE and AFTER editing. On top of that, CDSpin Doctor had compatibility issues with OS 10.5.4, 10.5.6, 10.5.7, 10.5.9, 10.5.10, 10.6.0, and10.6.1. I only keep it installed because the Roxio updater gives me trouble if it doesn't find it in the Toast folder.
I've used Audacity, CDSpinDoctor, CoolEdit, Audition, and Soundbooth in Windows and Mac. I have yet to find a program that will batch process a bunch of audio files with the same preset effects.
You can save your rack presets and apply them individually to the tracks with just a click, but then you already know that. I guess for now, that's as good as it gets.

Need help with batch processing picture packages

Hi, I am having trouble batch processing picture packages is CS2. (Windows).
I have hundreds of images that need to be processed into picture packages and would love to find a speedier way to do this.
I know how to create an action. I know how to batch process from this action. I also know how to create picture packages, but I cannot get the final result I am after - please read on....
I have seperated all the images into their seperate folders for each style of picture package required.
I can create an action for the picture package required and then do a batch process on the particular folder, but this leaves all the picture packages open on the desktop - as when you chose the close and save in the batch process - this only closes and saves the original image - the picture package has been created as a new document and is on the desktop still open - named Picture Package 1, Picture Package 2 - etc etc.
I hope I am making some kind of sense here... (??!!)
What I would like to happen is that the picture package will be saved over the original file (or to a new folder) with the original file name of the original image or maybe even with an adjustment to file name (e.g - orignal file name sc1234.jpeg - new file name sc1234packA.jpeg)
So is this possible to do?? I'm thinking there must be a way.... i'm sure there are many group photographers out there who come across this everyday??
Otherwise I have to save each picture package manually to original file name (via searching though files to match the original image to the picture package....) Very time consuming.
Thanks for your help (in anticipation)...
Jodie

hmm - thanks for that - sounds like I will have to try and find some info and assistance regarding the scripting - it may be something I need to look into at a later time in the future....
At the moment though I will have to plod along with this method I guess!
Thanks for your assistance...
Jodie

Can we have a Real batch process

The current batch process functionality in Audition records not keystrokes, but settings; so if you record a process using the ClickPop Eliminator functionality under Restoration, you get whatever settings you used with the sound sample you used during the script recording. However, if you want to record a script that uses the very powerful Auto Find All Levels feature of the Click/Pop functionality, you're out of luck (as far as I know).
I'm in the process of cleaning up a bunch of old recordings I have and digitizing them. I can't use the click/pop setting of one for the others! They're just too different, so I've been spending hours waiting while the system samples the current audio and applies the click/pop settings. Can we get a true automation system that let's me record the fact that I want the system to run the Auto Find, then use the results to run the Click/pop eliminator. I could then process hundreds of files while I sleep instead of having to check my computer screen every five minutes and get the next step of the process running!
There are other products with better automation, but they don't do as good a job to reduce noise and eliminate clicks and pops on a wide variety of audio as Audition does. But if you know some that does, please let me know!

How to add or remove silence at the beging and at end of each audio file using batch process

Hi all,
I am new to this forum. I have been using Audition 3 for the last couple of years and these days I have to coop with an extra difficult situation, which is; I have more than 2000 files that start and finish with a random length of silence, it varies 0 to 7 sec. My question is, how can I set the silent duration at the beginning and end of each file to a constant amount of 2 sec by using batch process?
Kind regards,
Pavlos

>it's relatively easy to select an absolute time at the beginning of a file (we discovered how to do this a while back), the same technique simply doesn't work at all at the end of it
Indeed! I had a few trials last couple of days and noticed it.
Definitely we need help on Audition's scripting language from the people in Adobe. Why don't they produce a scripting language documentation?!

How to : only one user in a branch can do the batch process at a time ?

dear gurus,
In ADF web application, accessed by multiple branch (20), there is a
batch process to create invoices from orders. There are 3-5 users in a
branch. one user can process about 30 - 50 orders to become
invoices.
Business rule is : In one batch process, each users must produce
invoices with gapless invoice number. e.g : user_1 create 30 invoices
no.001 - 030, user_2 create 40 invoices no.031-070 ... and so on...
So we want to protect that at a time, in one branch, only one user can
do the batch process. User_2 must wait until user_1 is done to start
the process.
We use the table below to maintain the latest invoice number created :
CREATE TABLE doc_number
DOC_TYPE VARCHAR2(6 BYTE) NOT NULL,
BRANCH_CODE VARCHAR2(6 BYTE) NOT NULL,
DOC_NBR NUMBER(12) DEFAULT 0,
CONSTRAINT "DOC_NUMBER_PK" PRIMARY KEY (DOC_TYPE, BRANCH_CODE)
The question is :
I think of locking a spicific row of the doc_number table (select ...
for update wait 10) at the beginning of the batch process stored
procedure.
But what if the session/connection left orphan and the row is lockde
forever before the dba kill it ?
So is there a better approach to limit the user execution of the
process ?
Thank you very much for your help,
Krist

Forget it. See http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:4343369880986.
However, if you are dead set on doing this old fashioned thing of trying to emulate paper invoices from a numbered tablet, you could always just let everyone generate all of their invoices with no invoice number whenever they want, then at some time ( say 21:00 every day), take a lock on the table and apply invoice numbers to all of the records with a null invoice number -- which will take only a few centiseconds at most. And let the users/system print only invoices that have numbers assigned. This way, you pretty much eliminate the concurrency issue of various branches generating invoices only in their time window -- yuk, what an awful way to have to do business.
And completely forget about users or branches having their own range of numbers. That is completely nuts. Your database already knows which branch owns which invoice, right??

Batch processing with an image overlay

Is it possible to do batch processing with an image overlay in FW CS4?
I'm trying to resize several hundred images and place rounded corners on them.
If this cannot be done in FW, does anyone know of another program that could accomplish this?

Hi Marje,
It's possible to include both resizing and image overlay in a custom Fireworks command that can be used in batch processing. To get started, you could check out this tutorial that deals with the first step.
That article describes how to perform image resize and overlay (in that case, a watermark), and then how to record the steps and turn them into a custom command that can be later used in batch processing.
Once you saved the custom command, click File >> Batch Process, and follow the steps below:
In the first window, select the images you want to process.
On the next screen, open the Commands dropdown menu and select the custom command you created (it'll probably be on the bottom of the list), and click the Add button to include it in the batch process list.
Finally, on the next screen select the location of the processed files, and optionally save the batch script for later use.
Good luck!

Why do I need to use GIMP to batch process?

Dear Adobe,
I'm grinding through thousands of display and template images for an online retailer. Photoshop layering and masks came in quite handy when I was making the templates
but now that it's got down to reusing those templates, I have to look elsewhere.
1 Why does every other piece of software on the market have a batch processing section, and yet you hide yours?
2. Why does Image Processor refuse to resize both horizontal and vertical, although it claims to? It actually refuses to distort the image to resize, which I actually want it to do. I had
to download GIMP to get this capability, as well as to specify the output file and change the dpi. These are all included in GIMP but not Pshop. Thanks for that. And don't tell
me to go to Actions. THat may be useful for something things, but it's hardly the optimal way to do it, recording your exact actions, and then saving or not saving, and then
seeing what happens. The way I wanted it was in GIMP, and its pathetic that 20 years in, Pshop still doesnt have a credible batch processor, or tell me where it is now.
Charge extra for that perhaps?
3.What has changed in Bridge CS6 since CS4? I see absolutely nothing different, but then output is still limited to PDF and 'WEB GALLERY' a dysfunctional glob
of code bested easily by jquery, but maybe you've impoved that end. My last experience with web gallery was so dysfunctional that I'll just stick to fixing what's
under the hood myself. I mean web gallery used to be flash, then something else that's not current. Let's just agree its a hobbyist option. Of course,
I don't know why 'output' might include other options for the batch processing of files, since batch rename does actually work, but you guys are the deciders.
4. Its too bad. This job has taught me a lot of new stuff about layering, masks, and the functionality of the pattern section, which I have no great qualms with, though,
considering how many companies you've bought, you could include tons of patterning capabilities that used to exist in these programs, but that would be too much
expenditure from MGMT. Maybe let's just fix the window views we broke in CS4, and call it a new version.
5. Thanks for forcing me to discover GIMP, who dont ask a thing. I dont really like being in there yet, but we'll see if that changes with time. They actually have some
different filters and rendering options that Adobe could've included years ago for gun, but again, there's just not enough money to go around at Adobe.

Thanks for both of you proving both that the function doesnt exist.
When the Image Processor resizes image it used the Photoshop Plug-in Fit Image to do the resize. Both height and width are resized and the image aspect ratio is preserved so the image is not distorted. That means the image will fit within the height and width used in the dialog. Only image with the same aspect ratio will fill the area. It sounds to me like you want the image the size id the height and width you entered in the dialog. In which case you need to use Photoshop features the can accomplish that. If you do not care the the image is distorted you use Image size check resample uncheck constrain as set the height and width you want to resize to. If you do not want to much distortion you can try content aware resize. That will still distort the image some what but try to maintain some areas perspective it finds object in. You can also help that process by selecting areas. If You want no distortion you need to resize the image to fill the area and mask off the excess to virtually crop the image the the areas aspect ratio. To automate that you need to use some Photoshop scripting. Knowledge is required to get the most out of Programs like Gimp and Photoshop. The function doesn't exist because of your lack of knowledge.

Bridge - Batch Processing has stopped working...help

I am using Photoshop for Windows in CS2. Have been for years. Work with batch processing and Web Gallery all the time...for years.
Batch Processing and Web Gallery stopped working (along with other Photoshop features). I upgraded to Windows 7, and photoshop/bridge/indesign, etc work once again.
Batch Processing and Web Gallery still don't work. When I select items Bridge and click "Tools", "Photoshop", "Web Photo Gallery" it clicks over to photoshop, as if the process is about to begin. But then Photoshop lies there doing nothing. No action menu pops up if I select "Batch" no "Web Photo Gallery" dialog box initiates if I select the gallery.
Any assistance, that can save me the $1000 on a CS upgrade, will be greatly apprecieated.
Thank you for your time.

Look in edit/preferences/scripts and make sure there is a checkmark for both Bridge and Photoshop. Without that they can't talk.

Photoshop cs5 says "Place" is unavailable when I try to batch process from bridge, does anyone know what's going on?

I am trying to batch process my watermark from bridge. I have a saved action in photoshop cs5 and have used it for a while and all of the sudden it says "place" is unavailable. I have reset bridge and photshop and restarted the computer. Do actions get corrupt?

That is a very common error message actions produce when for some reason the document current state does not support the command or feature used in the action step that gets the error. With our seeing a screen capture of the error message and being able to see the document window, the layers palette and the actions palette Its not possible to tell you why the actions is getting that error message. Most likely its because of the document current state. For example place is not valid for a bitmap mode document.

Bridge will no longer batch process an old watermarking action that i made it says "place" unavailable in Bridge with cs5, does anyone know why?

I am using cs5 and in Bridge my action that I have used for 2 years all of the sudden says it is unavailable when I try to use the batch process function in Bridge. I have run updates, reset bridge and photoshop and shut the computer down. Please help if you have had this happen to you.

No option to Batch Process in Bridge CS5

Usually in Bridge I would go to Tools> Photoshop> Batch. But instead I am seeing Tools> Process Collections in Photoshop.
Even if I go into photoshop to batch process via Bridge, the option for Bridge is greyed out and I can't select it.
I am on Windows 7, 64 bit.
Please help.

You sir, are a GENIUS! I salute you.

Batch processing problems-can anyone help?

Setup: Quadcore, 4GB RAM, 4 internal drives all with plenty of space, Leopard OS, latest version.
Software: CS4 with Photoshop Extended; all updates installed. I also have CS3 installed; only use Bridge and PS in both apps.
Problem: Working in CS4. All edits/crops/corrections done in the Camera Raw window; all edits saved and viewable in Bridge. However, when I use Batch from the Tools dropdown (Tools > Photoshop > Batch), and check all the usual places, select an Action, select a Destination, and hit "Go", the results are totally weird. Some images process as expected, but many are at least two stops overexposed.
All individual files will Open, and can be Saved As manually; all works fine. That is in fact how my assistant and I got the job done tonight. The Batch Action is simplicity itself: Open, Save As (JPEG level 9), and Close file—but if I run Batch on the same files that can be opened and Saved As perfectly, it all goes crazy; three quarters of the files are totally overexposed, in blocks (10–25, roughly), and at random.
I have used the Ctrl + Alt + Shift after opening Bridge; I have run Cocktail; and lit the right incense. But this still will not work properly! Can anyone help???

Batching the same files in CS3 works perfectly, in terms of the processed JPEGs at least being correctly exposed, but the CS4-only edits (like the healing brush) are not recognised, nor are many, tho' not all, of the crops.
I have decided to deactivate and uninstall, then reinstall CS4, after upgrading to Snow Leopard. Usually, I wait for a few months for others to report on OS update interactions with CS and FCP, but since CS4 as installed was useless and I had done the usual resets of Preferences without any change to Batch Processing's reliability, I felt I could not be worse off.
So, after upgrading to Snow Leopard, I will reinstall CS4 (and all apps this time, rather than just PS and Bridge, as I usually do) in case there are soime weird unintended consequences of a Custom install.
Very frustrating and time-consuming, and I wonder what I might have done to create this problem—seeing as no one commented, I can only assume that this is an unique experience.
I will report back today, hopefully.
