AVCHD import copies and archiving

When I import AVCHD cards or card images, FCP X seems to re-wrap the the original to a ".mov" file and put it in the event folder. This happens without copy to Event checked, create optimized checked, or create proxy checked. As far as FCP X is concerned, the re-wrapped clips it generated in the Event folder are the Originals and the the card image archive is non-existant - at least as far as I can tell.
What should I archive as the original media? Is there a way to reconnect/re-generate the re-wraped FCP X copy?
Thanks
Rick

FCP can't edit .mts files, which is what's on the card, so it has to copy it.
Archive the card. You could archive the QuickTime files, but they are a bit larger. FCP will relink automatically if you use camera import from an archived card.

Import performance and archive logs

Well we are working on Oracle 10 R2 on Solaris.
During import (impdp) its generating huge volume of archive logs.
Our database size is in terabytes.
How to stop the archive log generation during import or atleast minimize the generation ??

Hello,
If you can restart your database then you may set your database in NOARCHIVELOG mode.
Then, after the import is finished, you'll have to set back your database in ARCHIVELOG mode (you'll need to restart again the database).
Afterwards, you'll have to Backup your database.
Else, without changing the Archive mode of the database, you can Backup and compress your archived "logs".
For instance, with RMAN:
connect target /
backup
as compressed backupset
device type disk
tag 'BKP_ARCHIVE'
archivelog all not backed up
delete all input;
exit;By that way you'll save space on disk.
Hope this help.
Best regards,

Final Cut Express doesn't support AVCHD Lite.
iMovie (my version is '09 - 8.0.5) does import AVCHD Lite directy from my TZ7.
Since iMovie is nice, but offers a bit less then FCE I just imported the clips from the TZ7 into iMovie, moved all imported clips to the timeline and exported a Final Cut XML. This one I imported into FCE and voila.. realtime editing with FCE of the clips from my TZ7.
A bit strange, that FCE doesn't support AVCHD Lite.. but the way through iMovie is doable.

Importing Raw and Jpeg copies

I've been trying to import my raw images along with the jpeg copies and when i select the images and import it only seems to import the nefs. If i select only the nef and or jpegs they will import. Is there a setting that i should change so that LR imports both?

This is the way Lr works. It treats the Jpgs as the Preview images.

Import from iPhoto: how to get rid of unwanted copies and thumbnails?

Hi,
Browsing through my 37000 images - mostly imported from iPhoto, I recogize that a lot of them are (for some strange reason, or error on my part) imported twice.
It typically manifest itself like 2 project files like this:
2003-05-16-21-2
2003-05-16-21-2 (1)
....with a lot of the content in the 2 projects being identical. I also get quite a bit of projects with names ending with .."Thumbs" containing small images.
Is there a way of safely removing identical copies and thumbs without having to traverse all the folders/projects manually?
Best regards,

AVCHD on PC and Mac

We recently purchased our first Macbook Pro and had a few questions on AVCHD video. I am planning on importing AVCHD to a HFS+ external hard drive and want to make sure (1) I can keep a copy of the AVCHD files on the HFS+ external hard drive without converting to AIC and (2) that I can keep a copy of the AVCHD files on a FAT32 hard drive for a friend to be able to edit on his PC. I plan on editing the files on my HFS+ hard drive in iMovie eventually. Thanks for your help.

When you attach your camera to your Mac (or you can put an SDHC card in a card reader), you can import into iMovie. In iMovie, click the Import Camera icon, or ciick FILE/IMPORT FROM CAMERA in the menu.
You should now see the iMovie Import screen. On this screen, you should have the option to Create Archive.
The Create Archive function will create an archive of the files as they are on the camera in their original folder structure. This is crucial because iMovie will not import AVCHD files out of context of your camera. This archive can be on a HFS+ Drive or a FAT32 Drive. (Your SDHC card is a FAT32 Drive).
I am in the habit if creating an Archive from my SDHC cards first thing. I also have automatic procedures that run at night that create offsite backups of these archive files. I then import into iMovie from the Archive copy. That way, if anything goes wrong during the import, I still have my original SDHC card copies and can recover. Once I have safely imported from the archive copy, I can erase the SDHC card and reuse it on the camera. Rather than erase the card, I use the camera's controls to Reformat or Reinitialize the card, because FAT32 cards tend to get fragmented and unreadable over time, and reformatting prevents that.

I put the card in the reader, copy onto hard drive
I open up import on fcpx browse for the folder, see the files cmd A them go import selected with copy to event folder too as I always do
Then is starts importing some of the 60 files and has trouble importing 2 or 3 files I have to say ok once message comes up so it will carry on
I am quite techy savy not a novice and have tried all sorts, its not my fault its a bug, I just wondred if anyone else have had this bug and apparently some are. I know how to cc or grade but that is not the problem, it randomly will not import a few files

Imovie is limited to its import formats and does not allow for storing video in any rawformat. Which means all videos will contain lossy compression applied to the video-.with no way to edit full format video. Is this statement true?

Imovie is limited to its import formats and does not allow for storing video in any rawformat. Which means all videos will contain lossy compression applied to the video….with no way to edit full format video. Is this statement true? Does iMovie support HD 1080p @ 60 fps?

Iggy826 wrote:

yes and no!
using the intended Import from Camera routines, iM converts automatically in its very own AppleIntermediateCodec. so, answer is yes.
but …
a) Apple claims , aic is non-lossy intermediate codec. working with proRes in FCPX taught me, there are even less non-lossy-ness codecs
b) iM offers an Archive feature, which is basically a simple Finder/copy operation which 'clones' your SDcards content into some folder on your harddrive; e.g. you can later use these untouched 'raws' in another editor such as FCPX. so, answer is no.
c) when you 'override' the import routines by manually re-wrapping mts into a mov container, iM handles the 'native' h264s ... so, answer is no.
d) adding any effect, transition etc. reduces any interlaced source to 540p. (if you're working with 720p source, res is kept) … so, answer is yes. or, in 720p case, no.
< Johnny Depp's voice >… savvy?
Does iMovie support HD 1080p @ 60 fps?
via Import from Camera? No.
via re-wrapped mts>>mov? I was told yes, some say no.
one thing to be kept in mind when talking about these 'issues':
iM, this 12€, is meant as a CONSUMER toy tool.
it supports AVCHD vers1 (=no 1080/60p, no >24Mbps, no 3D).
fingers crossed, we'll see soon some iM/QT/FCPX update for support of AVCHD v2 ........
the main consumer devices are within the specs, iM supports.
using professional equipments makes usage of professional software (FCPX, AP) optional.
sorry for lengthy answer.

AVCHD: benign PsF and malignant PsF

I hope this helps someone. I'm re-posting this from a thread I orginally began at a Creative Cow forum. The links are worth a read if you are using AVCHD especially from a recent Canon camcorder (it appears that the files from the Canon DSLRs are genuine 30p and don't have this issue). I shoot with the Canon Vixia HF S100.
=============================================================================
"I spent what may have been too much time last night researching this, but here's what I came up with:
Writer Allan Tépper has a series of articles on just this issue and it's essentially new info as of the last month or so.
In part 1 here,
http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/atepper/story/psf8217s_missing_workf...
...he defines two new terms, benign PsF and malignant PsF. It appears that most of the Canon prosumer video camcorders like my Vixia HF S100 create the "malignant" type PsF file. In a nutshell, the camera creates a progressive file, but mis-tags it so that even the most recent versions of PP 5.5 and FCP X mistake it as an interlaced file. Here's more from Allan on this:
http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/atepper/story/empsf8217s_missing_wor...
http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/atepper/story/psf8217s_missing_workf...
It's explained that this file must be modified slightly so that the editing program can correctly identify the file as progressive. Otherwise, FCP X will try to de-interlace a file that doesn't need to be de-interlaced and will ultimately result in unwanted artifacts and lack of sharpness.
At this point, there appears to be two solutions:
http://www.rassoc.com/gregr/weblog/2011/12/02/editing-canon-30p-pf30-footag...
Solution 1 for Canon PF30 - Malignant PsF- Simply import into FCPX twice:
-Use Import From Camera to import your footage into Event 1.
-Then, use Import Files, and import the files in Final Cut Events / Event1 / Original Media – and put them into a new Event 2.
Solution 2 for Canon PF30 - Malignant PsF- Use ClipWrap to pre-wrap the .MTS files and FCP X will recognize them as Progressive.
http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/atepper/story/psf8217s_missing_workf...
http://www.divergentmedia.com/blog/fullpost/announcing_clipwrap_244_update
I will likely go with the ClipWrap solution as the free solution is just too many hoops for me to jump through to get work done. Once I've gotten the PF30 file correctly tagged as progressive, I will set up my new Project as 1280x720 HD, 29.97p and get to editing."
================================================================================ ===========
I did end up buying the full version of ClipWrap yesterday and have started to re-wrap my files with the .MOV extension and it not only solves the PsF issue, but now allows me preview the files in QT 7, toss the not-needed files, and then re-name the needed files before importing into FCP X (which ultimately works better for my brain and workflow). Also, no more artifacts from my FCPX mis-interpreted 29.97p files. I have never been a big fan of the Camera Archive mess, so this also allows me to file away all my footage in a more understandable manner without having to first open FCP X.

Tom Wolsky wrote:
Rather than double importing why don't you just change the field dominance of the imported clips in the event.
Tom,
I didn't test it myself, but according to the 2 different article sources, it doesn't work correctly:
"When I was trying to find the difference between the first and second import, I noticed the second had the Field Dominance Override set to “Progressive”. Aha, I thought…one could simply change this setting on the original first-import footage, and it will be interpreted as 29.97p. And at first glance, it appears to work. However, if you take this footage and put it in a 29.97p timeline, it will have to render, and this should be unnecessary. Just using a second import step eliminates this problem."
http://www.rassoc.com/gregr/weblog/2011/12/02/editing-canon-30p-pf30-footage-in- fcpx/
I did try the double import method, but it was too much of a pain to plan to do for every file I need to use, so I ended up going the ClipWrap route. Although, Rafael Amador did bring up the same point about changing the field dominance at the CC FCPX Techniques forum. I would have rather not spent the extra money, but I'm glad I did for the improved quality and ease of filing original media.
Thanks,
Dave

A workflow to burn AVCHD camcorder video and 5.1 sound to BluRay disc.

A workflow to burn AVCHD camcorder video and 5.1 sound to BluRay disc.
After weeks searching through many posts by the Forum’s experts with Final Cut Pro and Compressor, I have a crude workflow that seems to work for me, and might be of interest to others. This information I couldn’t find in the Help files of either FCP or Compressor, and would appreciate feedback on other options. Thanks to the Forum contributors who have helped me with suggestions.
I have successfully burned a BluRay DVD of the video and audio outputs of my new Panasonic AVCHD camcorder, that is, 1920x1080 video and 5.1 surround sound, using Final Cut Studio 2 (FCP 7.0.2, Compressor 3.5.4.) on an Intel iMac with OS 10.6.3
Using AUNSOFT-PAVTUBE or CLIPWRAP, I converted the camcorder’s MTS files to ProRes 422 .mov files containing 5.1 six channels of audio.
In FCPro, set the Sequence / Settings / Audio Outputs to 5.1 Monitoring:
     L+R Stereo,     Stereo
     Center             Dual Mono
     LFE                Dual Mono
     Ls +Rs            Stereo
Uncheck the “Downmix…to Stereo” in Warning box that pops up when this step is completed.
Drag the ProRes .mov file into the time line of FCP 7:
The next steps are important for assigning each of the six audio channels to the Dolby 5.1 configuration (L, R, C, Lfe, Ls, Rs). This step was new to me and something I couldn’t find in the FCPro or Compressor Help file manual. If anyone can reference a page number, I would appreciate that info.
In the FCP time line, unlink the video from the audio channels (Linked Selection) in the upper right corner of the FCP time line.
Select each audio channel, then right click in the area of the blank column near the padlock. Assign A1, A2, A3 etc to each of the audio channels as they fit the Dolby configuration ( L+R, C, Lfe, Ls+Rs) This process is kind of clunky and it may take patience to accomplish.
The best Forum ideas that I could find for setting up the six channel audio came from the following posts which I credit for their help:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/9095726#9095726
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12525373#12525373
In FCPro, Mark In and Out points, Select In to Out
Under File / Share option ………Select BluRay job……then Select either “Export” or “Send to Compressor”
(Note: At this point, the Option Export which enables FCPro to burn a BluRay DVD, seems to work well, and the resulting DVD video and six channels of audio seems as good as that produced by the more complicated option of “Send to Compressor”……..which is described below.)
If the Send to Compressor option is selected, Compressor is automatically started by this selection. At this point, do not Quit FCPro, because Compressor needs to transfer file data (or something like that) to Compressor.
In the job pane of Compressor, will exist two targets, H264 for BluRay and Dolby Digital.
I deleted the Dolby Digital and replaced it with Dolby Digital Professional Auto.
Clicking any where in the Sequence 1 job pane (not in H264 nor Dolby target rows) will reveal the A/V attributes:
Under the Job Action tab, select the BluRay unit that will eventually do the burning.
Clicking on the target H264 for BluRay located in the larger Job Pane reveals the settings I chose:
Clicking on the target Dolby Digital Professional (Auto) reveals these settings I chose:
I left settings on the Bitstream tab untouched. However the Preprocessing tab, I set the Compression Preset to “None”.
I found that turning on the BluRay burner with a preloaded BD/RE is best to do at this time, or even better, to energize the burner at the time that the “Send to Compressor” function is activated.
When settings are complete, select “Submit” in the lower corner of the Compressor larger pane and processing will begin, and a status pane indicating time elapsed and time remaining will appear. These estimates are not very accurate.
I have found that my 1 minute test video was initially estimated to require about two hours of processing time, but actually required only 1 hour which is still unusually long. Based on my experience, be prepared for an “overnight” processing to occur for longer movie durations.
This is the part of the overall process I need to understand better: How to estimate the duration to encode and burn 1 minute of video / audio? This 1 hour duration for 1 minute of video/audio was the same whether I SHARE-Exported to FCPro to burn DVD, or SHARE-Send to Compressor option.
Wondering if the encoding of the six 5.1 audio channels caused the lengthy processing(?). Perhaps settings that I made in Compressor affected time to process and burn.
Finally, I hope this poorly written process will help someone who has been looking for the same information as I had been. I would appreciate feedback from those who have already done this; what OS are you using, what hardware are you using? What software package have you tried. And lastly, Thanks to all who contribute to these Community Forums, who take the time to detail their processes. You all have helped me to get this far.

I am having to install tbird again on a new system, I copied and backup-ed my previous emails. When I view my copies and/or restored email files are empty. Why?

I am having to install tbird again on a new system, I copied and backup-ed my previous emails. When I view my copies and/or restored email files they are empty, nothing is displayed and the window shows message of being empty. I an sure of the backup and of my copy/paste steps. Where and/or what has happened to my emails? I also searched each disk and all files for email extensions (*.mozmsgs and *.sbd and *.sbf) with no results. I can not find a way to restore over 10 years worth of very important emails. Can someone please help me recover what I know is their? All my emails in Seamonkey are on another system (the one I replaced with new win7 pro 64 i7 based system) and all the emails I had in tbird, before having to reinstall everything on new system due to something that happened to the os, are the copied and backup-ed files that are showing empty. Prior to new install all old Seamonkey emails transferred to tbird and all the tbird emails prior were their and were the copied/backup-ed files showing empty now. This is turning into my worst experience and nightmare in over 25 years of systems. I am really lost on this one. please help....

Are you saying you split your profile between C and D drive, perhaps through specifying a location in the account settings.
BTW.
*.mozmsgs useless duplicate files created for windows search integration. Simply wasted space on the disk.
*.sbd a folder indicating the presence of a sub folder (contains no mail at all.
*.sbf (I don't know that one.
*.msf an index of mail. contains tags, but otherwise useless and will be recreated when the mail is loaded in Thunderbird so it can display the mail list.
*. that is no file extension. You mail in files with the same name as the folders they came from.

Problem with sending and archiving pdf document

Hello experts,
I have created the following SAP PI scenario:
First a pdf document will come from our partner to a specified directory. The ftp adapter sender get this file and also set the filename in the adapter specific messages. Then a udf mapping starts to read the filename of the pdf document, because the filename includes a ordernr for a sales order in sap. So the filename will be mapped to an easy rfc structur, afterwards the RFC Adapter will be called. After this I have to archive and delete the pdf document in the origin directory. But this will not work. I tried following steps.
After calling the rfc adapter another receiver determination will be called. That means a ftp adapter receiver is called that gets the filename and copies the pdf document to another directory. This works, but if I try to open the pdf document then it does not work, because the pdf document includes the structure of the rfc function module, filled with the filename param.
Furthermore the archive function of the ftp adapter sender does not work. Everything is correct set, but the pdf document will not copy to the right folder. Before I create a Java adapter module for the file adapter sender, that copies and deletes the file in the origin folder, another solution would be better.
Kind regards,
Erkan

Ideally the processing mode Archive should work for your case.
This works, but if I try to open the pdf document then it does not work, because the pdf document includes the structure of the rfc function module, filled with the filename param.
Why are you using the RFC structure for the other receiver in receiver determination. Use some dummy name in the Interface name and interface mapping and still the scenario will work. In the receiver channel, use the File type as binary.
Regards,
Prateek

How Do I Make Import Address Book Archive Work Properly?

I have several address books archived. I have one for Christmas cards, I have another for my neighborhood watch program and others that I use at various times. Some of the archives were made using Tiger and some I have created in Leopard. When I Export an Address Book Archive it does so without a problem. When I Import one of my Address Book Archives, to replace whatever address book is currently located in Address Book, the import does not work. Once I try to import, I must quit Address Book then reopen it and I still have the Address Book resident that I was trying to replace. The only way I have found to replace the resident address book is to first archive the current book for the sake of having it backed up, then delete all the names in the book by selecting all then deleting by hitting the delete key or by selecting Delete Cards using the Menu. After the names are deleted, then Importing an archive works fine.
Is anyone else having this problem or possibly have a solution to making Address Book work properly without having to delete all the current names before Importing an archive?
Information: I have deleted the Address Book Folder located within the Home/Library/Application Support folders and rebuilt it under Leopard OS and then pasted the names that were resident before deleting the folders. So far, I still cannot get the Import Address Book Archive function to work properly. Thanks in advance for any helpful information or hints.

Ok! Hmm... I indeed have tried to import an archive, did get the message, replaced all and had it working fine for me so it should for you I would think.
Have you tried to log in your computer as a different user, launch AB and try to toggle back and forth between archives to see if you experience the same issue? If not, then it is a user specific issue, if yes, then it may be more a case of app/system issue.
If you are able to overwrite in AB under a different user, then I would suggest you log in back to your main user and repair permissions (applications/utilities/disk utility repair permissions.
As for your use of AB and different archives, I am sure no one is bothered by that. We are all users here trying to learn and/or help others. I would only point out that if you cannot find a solution to your problem, you may want to consider working with AB in a different manner than you have in the past and by your description of usage groups and smart groups will more than handle your contacts while avoiding mixing apples and doughnuts - but I am sure you have thought of that already !!
hope this helps

After importing received and set messages from Opera Mail, Thunderbird works fine but does not save sent messages to Sent folder, even though messages are sent

I successfully imported messages from Opera Mail. Initially the Sent mailbox was not showing in Thunderbird. A quick removal and fresh installation solved that, but Thunderbird does not save the sent messages to the Sent box, where the imported Opera Mail messages are stored. Even though messages are not saved, they are sent correctly. The image attached shows the error message.

Probably a name-confuse If you store sent on mailserver it has to have the right name. (subscribe)
You could set up under Account settings / copies and folders (maps) Sent pointing to the right local folder.

How to import Apple Mail archive files in Outlook 2013?

I need to import Apple Mail archived files in Outlook 2013 on Windows, but every time I open the import wizard and reach the file selection step, I cannot select the archived file. It doesn't even show in the dialog box.
I don't know what the issue is. Is it the file size issue as the archive file is large (about 7 GB) or there is any other fault?

If both system are using the IMAP mail provider all you have to do is setup the connection to the mail server and all the emails and folders will be copied down to the windows computer. That is what IMAP is for. The mail stays on the server, and can be store
on the local computer also, and when you connect to the server with another device, computer, phone or pad, all the mail with folders gets copied to the other device.
But I think some of your mail was gotten using POP so it is not longer on the server.
Or you have emails in local folder only and they would be on the server. But you can create folder on the server in one mail program, or on the mail web interface and then copy those emails into those folder on the server byt copying them in one of the email
programs. Then when you log on with the other device all of them will be downloaded to the other device.
Other alternative:- You can find various solutions on having a google search
for your problem. Or you can have a look at the following link: Apple mail to Outlook Windows
