Auto render XML (aepx) file

Is there a way to auto render a composition in a XML (aepx) file? Watched folders does not support that. Is there a way to incite render through terminal console?

No.

Is it possible to set up a script to auto render as new files appear in queue

We have a system that creates images automatically and we need to be able to automatically convert and re-size them and move them to a new location. Some are needed as .gif animations but most are stills.
I can set up a series of comps with the appropriate render queues
Is there a way to trigger a render when new files are written to the project's images folder.
Every day these images would be updated several times. The old images would simply be overwritten.
An additional component would be to stop the warning message that I am about to overwrite an existing file on the render.
Thank you in advance.

When you say "the project's images folder", do you mean a folder in the file system, or a folder in the AE project window? Although I can't help you with the specifics, I'm pretty sure the former is possible (using scripting at the OS level to trigger an AE script), while the latter is not.

Where did the XML come from? What did it consist of?

Creating a command line program reading AEP/AEPX files?

I'm new with After Effects SDK, and I wanted to know if it's possible to use SDK to implement a command line program that gets information such as duration and frame rate in AEP/AEPX files.
aerender, a command line render program provided by After Effects, prints out these information before rendering. But it doesn't seem to be able to print out the information without doing rendering.
I saw a related thread here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/844341
But what I want is simpler. I don't need to alter the AEP/AEPX files. I just want to obtain the information quickly from an AEP/AEPX file. Is it possible to write such a tool using SDK?
Thanks!

hi eliang.cs!
yes, i'm the same guy who answered on the other thread.
everything the API does, it does through AE as a plug-in.
so if you have AE running (even just the renderer), your project loaded and your plug-in present, you can access all the data you described with no problem, and export it out in whatever way you want. (a plug-in is actually a DLL, so you can do anything you want, even on an OS level)
you can access the data on all elements of the project including comps, layers, footage, render queue, ect...
having said that, you can do all of this using a script instead of a plug-in.
scripts are much easier to build.
perhaps there's even a script out there that does what you're looking for, or something very close that could easily be adjusted.

Auto Render .... is it creating QT's that are eating my drive space?

Hello - I've been editing a feature and have several projects open at the same time, as well as lots of sequences open too. I noticed
today that 40 gigs just evaporated from my hard drive and I'm assuming (now, after research) that it's because of Auto Render.
It appears that every minute a new QuickTime was created on my drive, and was labeled, for example: ROUGHCUT_1-ITM-00002d01. Has anyone else experienced this? Isn't this overkill on Apple/FCP's part? I have deselected Auto Render and so far it seems as though it has stopped creating these files.
My question is: Can I delete all these files without disastrous results? I am working with an external drive which has all of the media and the project. The Auto Render has been saving to my MacBook Pro drive - why - I don't know since I have set everything else up to save to my external. How do you FCP users work with or without Auto Render - do you keep it on and delete the files later, or do you have it off?
Thanks for any tips!!

Actually, relooking at your post, I am assumming you are on Final Cut Pro X since that is the forum you are posting to. If you are not, then none of this will make sense to you. If you are then ...
You have to be out of your project timeline and into the project browser on the lower left part of your screen. You can get there by clicking on the icon with the reel of tape in it at the lowest left corner. If it is pointing to the left, click it to get out to where all your projects are in view. That is the project browser. See the two pictures below ...
Then simply click to select a project but do not double click to go into it for editing. Then go to the File menu and select the Delete Project Render Files near the bottom of that menu. Check the option to delete only unused render files. Hope this helps.

Auto indent XML Java API

Is the "Auto Indent XML" context menu function available as an API.
I have several JDeveloper Addin's that generate XML, but would prefer to use the built-in formatter.
Thanks
Pat

There is an API for manipulating XML in the product, but unfortunately it's not public yet.
In the meantime, probably the easiest way to reformat XML (or any file) in 10.1.3 is to programmatically invoke the Reformat command. This will work on any context where the document or selection is an XMLSourceNode.
// !! The CodingStyleController.FORMAT_CMD constant is not guaranteed
// !! to stay the same in future releases.
IdeAction action = IdeAction.find( Ide.findCmdID( "CodingStyleController.FORMAT_CMD" ) );
action.performAction( context );Thanks,

XML example file in a comment

Hi,
i need to know how to put a little XML example file in a comment. This is what i have :
* to be consulted. Next you can see an example of a configuration file :
*
* blablablablalbablablabla
*
* 
* <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> 
*  
* <CONF> 
* 
* <FONT_SIZE>11</FONT_SIZE>

* <FIELD_NAME>subject</FIELD_NAME> 
* </FIELDS> 
* <WAIT_TIME>0.1</WAIT_TIME> 
* </CONF> 
I tried using the <code> tag but it does not work. anyone??
thanks in advance

TrogDog, thanks for resurrecting this post; it seems all questions about this topic are answered with the idiodic suggestion of substituting character entities for the < and > signs, a rather crude and inefficient way to document code.
In my case, the <pre> tag did not render at all, however, this minor adjustment worked like a charm:
<xmp>
<example>
<message>no special escaping nonsense</message>
<hopethishelps>true</hopethishelps>
</example>
<xmp>
Node the change from <pre> to <xmp>, and the removal of {@code}. If you leave {@code} then the < and > will be displayed as character entities, the absolute opposite of the intended effect.
Thank you for the elegant solution!

Generate xml source file for Oracle Order Capture Print Quote

Hi,
I am new to xml and need to work on creating templates for Print Quote.
I am trying to generate the xml source file for which I enabled the report in system administrator and set the output to XML and assigned to Quoting Reports responsiblity. I then assigned XML Report Publisher to the same responsiblity.
I ran the report (Print Quote) and then I am trying to run the XML Report Publisher but I cannot get the request id in the list of values.
I am able to generate xml source file for other reports like Printed Purchase Order etc.,
The view output for the (Print Quote) report is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- 
<ASOPQTER />
How do I get the xml source file? Or are there seeded templates that I can use to create more templates? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ravi

Hi, I am in the same position - did this issue ever ger resolved by anyone. I have done a few XMLP reports successfully now using the Word add-in, but customising the Quote output differs from other standard reports.
If you look at the data definition for Quote it is a 'dummy' definition and has no XML file attached. Does anyone know how I can get the XML format for the report output?
Also the template uses XSL-FO ?!?!?! rather than RTF - not sure how to work with this, the Oracle docs are not very helpful in this regard either.
Has anyone successfully managed to customise the Quote print report? Many thanks,
Roger

Reporting Services Webpart - web part does not auto render consistantly

We are on SharePoint 2010 (integrated with Reporting Services)- on several sites we have added the Reporting Services Web Part and with a saved parameter. The behavior of this web part is not consistent. There are times when I open up a site
and the web part will auto render the report. 5 minutes later I can go into the same site, and the web part does not auto render the report. I have to do edit page, or close and re-open the web site. Has anyone experienced this type of behavior.
I've looked for assistance with this issue on-line cannot find anything that specifically addresses this issue.

Hi Karen,
If the parameters have default values in the report, then the report can be rendered automatically.
For this issue, I recommend to verify the things below:
Does this issue occur when you open the page with the web part in a new tab in the browser or go back to the previous opened tab?
Does this issue occur in the server side or client side?
Please add the site to trusted sites in Internet Explorer to see how it works.
Please change another browser to see how it works.
For narrowing down the issue scope, please test with another report and compare the results.
Thanks,
Victoria

How to Edit a XML data file from AS3 class...

Hi...
 I need to edit an XML data file I have at the exit of application.... I have a demo code which is not working....
This is the code :
public function UpdateData():void
 trace("Closing....");
 var FileData:XML=<Hello>Hai</Hello>
 var urlLdr:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
 var urlRqst:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("AppData.xml");
 urlRqst.data=FileData;
 urlRqst.contentType = "text/xml";
 urlRqst.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
 urlLdr.load(urlRqst);
This AppData file already exist and has some data in it.
 Plus :
 How to find the application is exiting.

use: fscommand('Quit');
to exit your app.
and this is how you would use the urlloader class to save data:
public function UpdateData():void
 trace("Closing....");
 var FileData:XML=<Hello>Hai</Hello>
var urlVar:URLVariables=new URLVariables();
urlVar.fileData=FileData;
 var urlLdr:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
 var urlRqst:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("this must be an executable to parse and write data");
 urlRqst.data=urlVar;
 urlRqst.contentType = "text/xml";
 urlRqst.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
 urlLdr.load(urlRqst);
but i don't think you can use an executable on a fl4 device so you will need to use a different class. i don' know how you're storing an xml file on a fl4 device but you should be able to use the sharedobject to read and store xml.

How can I auto export a PDF File using the "Smallest File Size" preset and set the Exported File Name based on information from an Imported PDF?

Greetings all,
I am trying to create a script to automate a PDF export process for my company for inDesign. I’m fairly new to inDesign itself and have no previous experience with javascript, although I did take C++ in high school and have found it helpful in putting this code together.
We have an inDesign template file and then use the Multi-page PDF importer script to import PDF files. We then have to export two version of each file that we import, then delete the imported file and all of the pages to reset the template. This has to be done for nearly 1000 pdf files each month and is quite tedious. I’m working on automating the process as much as possible. I’ve managed to piece together code that will cleanup the file much quicker and am now trying to automate the PDF exports themselves.
The files are sent to us as “TRUGLY#####_Client” and need to be exported as “POP#####_Client_Date-Range_North/South.pdf”
For example, TRUGLY12345_Client needs to be exported as POP12345_Client_Mar01-Mar31_North and POP12345_Client_Mar01-Mar31_South.
There are two templates built into the template file for the north and south file that are toggled easily via layer visibility switches. I need to get a code that can ideally read the #s from the imported Trugly file as well as the Client and input those into variables to use when exporting. The date range is found in the same place in the top right of each pdf file. I am not sure if this can be read somehow or if it will have to be input manually. I can put North or South into the file name based on which template layer is visible.
I am not sure how to go about doing this. I did find the following code for exporting to PDF with preset but it requires me to select a preset and then type the full file name. How can I set it to automatically use the “Smallest File Size” preset without prompting me to choose and then automatically input some or preferably all of the file name automatically? (If the entire filename is possible then I don’t even want a prompt to appear so it will be fully automated!)
PDF Export Code (Originally from here: Simple PDF Export with Preset selection | IndiSnip [InDesign® Snippets]):
var myPresets = app.pdfExportPresets.everyItem().name;
myPresets.unshift("- Select Preset -");
var myWin = new Window('dialog', 'PDF Export Presets');
myWin.orientation = 'row';
with(myWin){
    myWin.sText = add('statictext', undefined, 'Select PDF Export preset:');
    myWin.myPDFExport = add('dropdownlist',undefined,undefined,{items:myPresets});
    myWin.myPDFExport.selection = 0;
    myWin.btnOK = add('button', undefined, 'OK');
myWin.center();
var myWindow = myWin.show();
if(myWindow == true && myWin.myPDFExport.selection.index != 0){
    var myPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item(String(myWin.myPDFExport.selection));
    myFile = File(File.saveDialog("Save file with preset: " + myPreset.name,"PDF files: *.pdf"));
    if(myFile != null){
        app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, myFile, false, myPreset);
    }else{
        alert("No File selected");
}else{
    alert("No PDF Preset selected");
So far my code does the following:
1) Runs the Multi-Page PDF Import Script
2) Runs PDF Export Script Above
3) Toggles the Template
4) Runs #2 Again
5) Deletes the imported PDF and all pages and toggles template again.
It’s close and much better than the original process which was almost 100% manual but I’d like to remove the Preset prompt from the PDF script and have it automatically select the “Smallest File Size” preset. and then if there’s a way to have it auto-fill in the file name so no user input is required at all other than selecting each file to import. (If there’s a way to setup a batch action for the multi-import script that would be even better!)
Thanks in advance and if there’s anything else I can provide that would help please let me know! Even a nudge in the right direction will be a big help!

If you hold down the option key, it will typically show the location. Or you can often hit option-return on the file and it will reveal the file in the Finder, instead of opening it.
Final option is to open it, and just option-click the filename in the toolbar of Preview and it should show you the location.
It's probably an attachment to an email you've received. If you have Mail set to cache emails and their attachments it'll be stashed in a subdirectory of ~/Library/Mail. Which is fine.

How to calculate number of data records in a XML output file

Hi,
After generating a XML output file from Oracle Reports, I want to calculate number of records in the XML file. Is it possible? Specifically, I want to calculate number of records for a group variable ( organization_id, which I use for bursting).
Thanks for the help.

Thanks BIPuser. It is useful for me.
I can use this xsl function within the template. However, I'm also looking to print this in the concurrent request log file. So, outside of rtf template, id there any PL/SQL based XML functions I can use to count the number of records.
Thanks.
