Automatic export for Masters

Hi,
I´ve 50 small films (FCP7) that I want to export as "Quicktime Movies>Make Movies Self-Contained" to backup as masters.
Is there a way to export all of them in an auto mode instead of - open a project, export, save, etc, etc one-by-one?
Open all and export leaving the machine exporting all to my masters hard drive.
And also is there a permanent way to make apear the real name of the project at the "save" window intead of "Sequence 1.mov"?
(I´ve to copy and paste the real name of the project before save it as QTMovie, all the time).
Thank you.

No.

No. You could have avoided naming the exported files after the fact (or during export) if you had given the Sequence a proper name in the first place - prior to editing.

Script for automate export of idml for many docs (perhaps using hot folder)

Hi all,
I am looking for a solution to automate export many INDD docs to IDML. Did anyone have done such a solution?
Thanks in advance!

HI,
You will be certainly interested in Peter Kahrel's Batch Exporter Script.
Not related to HotFolder though for what I know of.

Edit Color Sync for Exports for Web Sites

Hi,
Perhaps this has been covered, but I've not found the thread. Most of the export color sync questions seem to revolve around printing or displaying on one's own monitor. Neither is an issue for me. However, I note that my RAW images exported from Aperture 2.0 as jpg's and then uploaded to web sites such as Jalbum and Orkut are washed out. Some forums have suggested this is due to those websites being optimized for sRGB. I understand that Aperture uses a proprietary color sync profile; however, my default EXIF - Expanded shows "Color Model" as simply "RGB", and "Profile Name" is Adobe RGB (1998) (my Canon 50D is set to sRGB). Again, I have seen suggestions on this forum that one can change these settings, but the process appears to be only for printers and monitors. Where/how can I change the export for uploading jpg's to the web.
Thanks,
Nick

I understand that Aperture uses a proprietary color sync profile
If the profile were proprietary, it would be an illegal profile under the ICC Specification.
However, I note that my RAW images exported from Aperture 2.0 as jpg's and then uploaded to web sites such as Jalbum and Orkut are washed out.
If you did not disable embedding of an ICC source colour space in Aperture, if you did not use a non-ICC enabled browser, the OS X system level services will set up a ColorWorld and convert the pixels in your JPEGs matching from the ICC source colour space to the ICC destination colour space of your display. Thus you will get what you uploaded in the first place.
I have seen suggestions on this forum that one can change these settings, but the process appears to be only for printers and monitors.
The idea is that each and every colour device is calibrated and that calibration is captured in a colourimetric colour characterisation from which an ICC colour device profile is computed. Colourants that form certain colours one one colour device at one calibration will form other colours in the same colour device at another calibration and in other colour devices at yet other calibrations. By means of device profiles, the COLOURS can be kept constant while the COLOURANTS are recomputed to compel the device to paint the closest possible match it is capable of.
Some forums have suggested this is due to those websites being optimized for sRGB.
The issue is whether people who post pictures do or do not embed ICC source colour spaces into their pictures and whether they pick browsers that are ICC-enabled or pick colour blind browsers.
To determine if there is an embedded ICC source colour space in a picture, download the picture to disk, open iApple Preview and select Tools > Get Info > Summary.
Colour Model: This defines the format or model of the colourants, e.g. three component RGB, four component CMYK.
ColorSync Profile: This defines the ICC source colour space. If there is none in the image file, the system level service assigns the Generic RGB Profile for model RGB, the Generic CMYK Profile for model CMYK and so forth. Therefore, any ICC source colour space than a Generic Profile source colour space is embedded in the image file itself.
In technical terms, the rule is that to construct a ColourWorld that does a colour space conversion through the PCS Profile Connection Space, you have to have an ICC source colour space and an ICC destination colour space (typically your display profile). It follows that the system level service ASSIGNS an ICC source colour space automatically where is none embedded. The ICC source colour space that is assigned when there is none embedded is the Generic RGB Profile for colourant model RGB, as explained.

Automatically export to JPEG from RAW images

RAW images are preferred form of shooting for many photographers. And, Lightroom is great at managing and developing these images. However, we increasingly use/view these images outside Lightroom and away from the PC where we do most of the development. For example, I use a DLNA server which shows off my entire image collection to big screen television (which can act as a DLNA client). The same DLNA server is used to send images to our smartphones (my wife loves to show all kid pictures anywhere she - without having to carry the pictures on the phone).
Most other applications that use these images, do not work on RAW images and JPEG images must be exported manually from Lightroom. This becomes increasingly difficult to manage and keep track of while developing RAW images. How many RAW images need to be exported? How many images did I touch since the last time I exported them?
Currently, I am using the following process to manage this:
1. I created a smartlist which contains images that are edited after "a particular date".
2. I select all images in this smartlist, and use Lightroom3's export function to export them all as JPEG, to the same folder as original.
3. Once the export is completed, I modify the smartlist to change the "particular date" to today's date.
I plan to repeat this procedure every so often (once a week or so).
It would be great if Lightroom had a feature such that it always keeps "JPEGs exported" for all RAW images (with the latest development settings of course). This could be a process that could occur in the background or at a user-specified time/event (e.g. when one closes Lightroom). User should be able to specify where the exported JPEG images should be put to and with what name (I prefer in the same folder as RAW but other users may have other preferences). User should be able to select if this is only done for RAW images or also for JPEG and other formats (in which case, should the exported image override the original or not). The exported images should be (optionally) automatically included in the Lightroom catalogue and stacked with the original RAW image.
Mainly, the entire process should be completely transparent to the user. A collection of JPEG images - corresponding to the latest development settings for the RAW images - should be always available.

I've heard many others raising the issue of an auto-jpeg feature - kinda like auto-write xmp, except auto-write jpeg.
I agree this would be nice, obviously some sort of "stability" check would be needed so it isnt constantly writing jpegs as you edit. Lightroom employs a form of this already for the xmp - meaning it doesn't update xmp every brush stroke, but accumulates several strokes before updating, so its more efficient...
If you could define multiple jpegs to keep - with the raws, or a separate tree - even better. That would obsolete all the tree output plugins and publishers.
The publishing feature was intended to fill this need (albeit manual only), but it suffers from the inability to publish to original directory, and/or an external tree.
I'd like to see a manual mode too, that accompanies a new "Done for now" function - so when you say "Done for now", it saves xmp, jpeg(s), snapshot, and optionally locks the file so unapproved changes can no longer happen to it. Then if you could define multiple "done for now" presets that include initiating publish service and exports, then the work-flow becomes: 1.import, 2.edit, 3.done for now - and thats it (maybe repeat 2 + 3 in the future). i.e. no more manually initiating the exports, publish services, snapshots, saving of xmp, ..., and whatever else you do when you're done.
In the mean time, I may make some of this part of an up-n-coming "Sidekick" app + plugin combo when I get to it.
Presently, I dont use publishing services, and I have ExportManager to consolidate exports (which includes TreeSync), so my workflow is: 1.import, 2.edit, 3.done for now (save xmp+snapshot, and lock via ChangeManager), 4. initiate consolidated exports...

Using Color profiles and exporting for web browsers

I've been trying to figure out the answer to this question. As I'm sure you're aware Safari supports color profiles while other web browsers like Firefox do not. I would like to setup Aperture so that it displays and exports images for the widest audience possible. Unfortunately it embeds a color profile and my images on the web only display correctly in Safari. I've tried changing the proofing profiles and export settings to no avail. I didn't seem to have this problem in iPhoto, a picture there looked the same on screen as it did in Safari and Firefox but I can't achieve the same with Aperture...

Thanks for that information, unfortunately I'm not really any closer to solving the issue since I've already tried that. 1) by default, doesn't Aperture automatically embed the sRGB color profile? 2) if I set view>proofing mode to sRGB shouldn't what I see on screen match what a "dumb" application such as Firefox does when it ignores the embedded profile and display sRGB? I've tried going into the preferences>export settings and changed everything to sRGB IEC61966-2.1 but I see no difference in the final image between that and the default setting.
I guess my question is more specific to Aperture since I don't have this problem with other applications. For example, in photoshop if I do Export for Web it strips out any embedded profile and when I open that image in Firefox and Safari side-by-side they are exactly the same. But not so when I export an image from Aperture, when opened in Firefox it is desaturated and flat and of course in Safari it honors the embedded profile and looks fine.

How to export both masters and versions w/ metadata?

When traveling I import photo files into Aperture on my laptop and edit them. When I get home I would like to export "everything" - masters, versions, and metadata, so that I can then import all of this into Aperture on my desktop. Or, perhaps there is another way to transfer all of this information into Aperture on my desktop? The export menu seems to give only the option to export either masters or versions, but I want to basically duplicate on my desktop a particular project from my laptop. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You get the option to either add the contents of the being-imported Library to the being-imported-into Library, or to merge the contents. In neither case is the being-imported-into Library replaced.
It is always a good idea to maintain a practice Library of a few hundred images, and to use it to try out any actions you fear might destroy your work.
There is an entire chapter in the User Manaul on using Library files. It is part of the general introduction to Aperture (viz.: the first seven chapters), all of which is recommended reading as it provides the foundation needed to achor your exploration of the rest of this complex, powerful program.
What you want to do is part of that power -- it is specifically provided as a feature of Aperture:
This is particularly useful if you use a portable computer when on location or away from your studio, and a workstation at your studio. Any work done in the field can be exported from your portable computer as a library file and then merged with the library file on the workstation at your studio.
In your case, either export everything ("Export→Project as New Library") from the "field" computer, or simply import the entire "field" Library. The details of the workflow are up to you to determine. They will likely depend on what Images you want to maintain on your "field" computer -- whether that Library is a one-time only collecting basket, or is used for processing or showing Images collected on previous excursions.

AUTOMATIC EXPORT?

HI ALL,
I Need a script to take automatic export of my schema day by day..can u guys drop me some scripts for me?
Thanx in advance,
SIMBHU.

In which OS the database is installed? If it is Unix/Linux you can Setup a crontab job to export the schema at a particular time everyday.
I don't think of any other way to export automatically.

Automatic Export with SDK 3.0

Does anyone know how via a SDK 3.0 plugin to automatically export a photo that is in the catalog. For example I have a plugin to automatically import raw images as they are written to disk and I would then like to export them automatically.
Any ideas?

In the API the LrExportSession object is defined as:
LrExportSession( params )
Creates an export session object. The session acts on a specific set of photos and settings, as when a session is started in the Export dialog.First supported in version 1.3 of the Lightroom SDK.
Parameters
1. params
(table) Arguments in named-argument syntax. All are required.
photosToExport (array of LrPhoto) A set of photos to be exported in this session.
exportSettings (table) A set of export settings for this session, as generated by the Export dialog.
Return valueAn exportSession object.See also
LrCatalog, LrPhoto
I can't seem to find what named items the exportSettings table can have to pass to create the LrExportSession object. Does anyone know where I can find that info?

Import and/or export for actionscript without extention?

I have a project in which I need to import several hundered png images.
When I import them into the library, then select all the images, then view the properties, I Check the export for action script and the export in frame 1.
Now, all my images have class names that I can access though my code, however, it included the file extensions in the class names, thus making invalid class names.
Is there any way I can import and/or set class names so they do not include the file extensions without having to do it manually for EVERY file?

My actual project has something like 9200 images in it.
if my main project, let's call it "main.fla", was to contain every one of those images, every time I tried to run or debug it, it would take FOREVER to compile... as a work around that I discovered in a previous project was to put all my graphics and media into an swc file. (Let's call it MyLibrary.swc)
While I was trying to get the swc working, I discovered that while my media in the swc was indeed setup to be exported for actionscript with unquie classes and everything, when I compiled and built my project, I could not get any of those media elements using the getDefinitionByName function.
After alot of reading and trail and error I found that the only way to get it to work was to have someplace in my code, an actual reference to the objects that I was trying to get with getDefinitionByName. It turned out, that without instantiating the object in the code, the compiler was omitting it.
Now, but instantiate, I mean doing this:
var bm:BitmapData = new MyImage();
Where MyImage.png is in my swc and has a class defined as "MyImage"
Once I do that, then I can do this
var classRef:Class = Class( getDefinitionByName("MyImage") );
But without that line above SOMEWHERE in my code (even if it's not actually executed), the getDefinitionByName returns an error saying it can't find the class.
Now, here's the problem.
When I import all my images into my swc library they get named with the file extention... "MyImage.png" and when I select all the images that Imported and batch set the export for actionscript, they get automatically assigned a class name equal to their library name, so the class name is "MyImage.png"
so if I wanted to use getDefinitionByName to access the class, I would need to instantiate it in my code by doing this:
var bm:BitmapData = new MyImage.png();
BUT, that is erronous as the period causes an error and the adobe docs says right in it that class names can't use periods or any other non-alphanumeric character.
So while the getDefinitionByName function DOES actually work with classes with periods in them, because my media is external of the main.fla, I can't load it unless it's instantiated first, which leaves me right back where I was.... having to to manually rename over 9000 classes manually one at a time.
I did some searching and found the "Flash Library Renamer" extension, but it requires me changing all my class names to be sequenial, which the vast majority is not.
Is there a way that I can import the files into the library and have it omit the file extension?
if not, is there a way that I can set the class names in a batch and not have it use the file extentions?
if not, is there an Flash Extention or plug in that will allow batch renaming using regular expression or wildcards?

How do I batch "Export For Web" from Quicktime, one at a time

I have 20 quicktime movies in folder A.
I would like to "Export for Web" for all 3 options (iPhone, iPhone (cellular), and Desktop) to folder B.
How do I create an automator script to complete this action one at a time, until they are finished converting?
Also, I do not want to delete the originals.
I have never used Automator, but I'm guessing it should be easy to execute a shut down command when it is done...
Thanks a lot!

iTunes does not handle the import of photos/videos from the iPhone's Camera Roll.
If this is not the computer you sync your iPhone with, you should have been provided a warning message that your iPhone is associated with an iTunes library on another computer and when trying to transfer any iTunes content from a different computer, a warning message is provided indicating that all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first.
When connecting an iPhone to iTunes on another computer, none of the options under the various tabs for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes are selected automatically. This means you had to select Sync Contacts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your wife's computer.
Assuming you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, connect your iPhone to Tunes on your computer and without syncing, under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences below the Advanced section, select Contacts for replace info on this iPhone followed by a sync.
For importing photos/videos from the Camera Roll which can be done with a computer that is not used for syncing the iPhone since syncing with iTunes is not involved.

Raw, colorsync profiles, and saving/exporting for web

I'm having a bit of trouble dealing with my raw files, or more particularly, being sure that I'm saving for webpages with the right profile.
I have several thousand images in Nikon's NEF and/or DNG format. I'd like to have iPhoto be my main catalog for them, but I don't want to copy over the several gigs worth, so I set the prefs to NOT copy the files over. The working jpg files it creates seem fine, but I can't tell whether they have the AdobeRGB profile associated with them, since that's what I shot them with. I'd then like to export them, or save them, to jpegs for the web at a somewhat reduced size, but they need to be in sRGB format for proper web presentation, which I'll do much of the work with iWeb. But there's no color profile choice in the export dialog, or the edit dialog, or anywhere else I can find. Am I missing something?
Basicallly, I'd like to have all my images in albums, and then have subalbums with the web versions (say about 900x600, about 70% quality, and sRGB color space). Is this possible with iPhoto? I've been mucking about with Adobe's Lightroom, which does have the color space choices in the export dialog, as well as a ton of other features. And previously I used Photoshop CS2 / Bridge to handle everything. But I thought iPhoto would make things easier.

Bug: Aperture exporting JPEG masters incorrectly

I have a new Aperture library with 76 JPEGs in a project. The average size of each JPEG is ~500 KB. When I look at the list, I see all the file sizes I expect to see. When I peek in the Masters directory on the filesystem within the Aperture library, I see what I expect to see.
So, with Aperture 3.2.1 and Lion 10.7.2, I select all the JPEGs using Cmd-A, and then I type Cmd-Shift-S to export the masters. I expect this to be a file copy from what I see in the Masters directory to the target directory.
However, what actually happens is that between 1-4 of the JPEGs end up with a *ridiculous* size. Instead of the expected 534 KB for one image, what gets exported is 1.8 *gigabytes*. This happens to a different number of JPEGs each time, and to different images each time.
Essentially, I cannot trust "Export Masters..." at all. These gigantic files it outputs aren't even viewable as JPEGs.
What could be going on here?
Thanks,
John

I'm frustating about how Aperture give RAW+jpg pairs and once imported is not easy to select one of the two files depending on the case. I read recently a good solution, you can import Both as masters(RAW and JPG) and select AutoStack(⌥⌘A)
with a short time span (0:02) and Aperture will import the two masters of each photo, and later you'll be free to use one of them. And you can reject manually all the RAWs that you don't want to store.

Export for Web using optimized for "download" or "streaming"?

Hi,
Exporting for Web have some setting there,i'll choosing the .mov - H264 - and medium low quality - 15 Frame Rate - Checked Frame Reordering, others Automatic and the Audio will be 32.000hz and Mono.
Now,what about the optimizing? Download or Streaming?
What about Self-Contained Movie? do i need it?

optimizing for download or streaming depends on what sort of site you're sharing it on. Will it be streamed or a download file?
It must be self-contained, unless you are going to be streaming it, and hosting it from the machine that the original media is on. Even then I'm not sure that would work reliably.

Best Export for HD?

I could use a little help with my final HD export for archive.
footage .mp4 xdcam codec from a JVC camera
I checked "match sequence settings" ... which gave me a .mpeg file extension. FInished render had a File size under 4G for 15 minute 1080p program. Doesn't that seem like a small file? Was this best practice?
I also experimented with H.264 blue ray export with mostly "automatic same as source" settings (but change to VBR 2 pass and check "max render" at bottom) ... but the output listed upper interlace when the source sequence settings listed progressive.
Export crashed on me.
What am I missing?
Thanks.

Thanks, John, for pointing me to the resource. I have been reading various posts before making my post … but these resources did reaffirm that by checking “match sequence settings” I’m getting a lossless HD version. I just don’t understand why it automatically applies .mpeg extension.
However, I didn’t really find an answer to my dilemma of making a blue ray h.264 that is progressive. The manual says:
When set to Automatic (Based On Source), Adobe Media Encoder automatically sets this value to match the field order of the source. (See Interlaced versus noninterlaced video <http://help.adobe.com/en_US/mediaencoder/cs/using/WSb8e30982e628fbecc0e59e6131255b4dd2-7ff 9.html> .)
But when I make export settings (my only option to select now is MAINCONCEPT) … my original says progressive and my output says interlaced upper.
Shouldn’t this be PROGRESSIVE? I can’t find any other place to select progressive manually. Or to select any other codec …
Is there a better codec I need to install?
Thanks in advance.
