Basic Project - media question

I think that I have this straight; but would like to confirm.
1) when capturing media from DV tape, those media must be associated with a Project
2) those captured media, however, can still be used (referenced) by any other Project
3) if I want to capture more media for an old Project, I open that Project first?
Thanks,
Sonny

1) Yes. The project to which you are capturing will have a small clapboard icon in the column headings of the Browser.
2) Yes.
3) Yes.

  • Basic project management question

    HI,
    In the "Projects and Events" top level of the Libraries pane, there is a pre made "folder" called Projects.  The icon is a purple square with a star. This is identical to all the others which I assume are Events. I I click on an "Event" all the clips are revealed in the pane to the right. But if I click on the tiny trinagle, nothing is revealed. I don't understand this.
    Now my real question: If I click on the triangle for the pre made  Projects fodler, it reveals 4 collections called: Complete, Incomplete etc. Also their icons look like a strange blue page. I made these and they seem to have come from the previous verions of FCP X.  When I reveal the contents of Incomplete, what I want to do is move a project, by dragging, to the Complete collection. Instead of moving it though, it copies it. The only way to get rid of the project in the Incomplete collection is by moving it to the trash, but this really does delete it everywhere!
    I find the new version very hard to understand. All I want is to group project according to their being complete or not, or some other catagory, but I canno figure it out.
    Any help?
    Cheers

    Because the changes to the 10.1 library model were so substantial there has been a huge amount of info on updating and they way this model affects organization put  out by Apple and many training organizations.
    Here is a very good document by Apple; it gets right into the files created by updating. There are other docs by Apple as well as articles and free video tutorials by trainers easily found by a search.
    The short answer is events live in libraries and projects live in events. Left to its own devices, the first time 10.1 is launched it will update the projects and events it sees on connected drives and make a library for each drive. The disclosure triangles reveal collections. If there are no collections, nothing will show when opened.
    HTH.

  • Premiere Elements 9 Project Media View List & Icon Icons Gone

    Today at another forum that I frequent, a Premiere Elements 9 user was distressed because he could not find the List (Ctrl + Page Up) & Icon (Ctrl _ Page Down) icons that were found in the prior version of the Project Media View. The Icon view was particularly useful for sorting media before dragging to the Timeline or for the Create Slideshow feature. Now in Premiere Elements 9, all you have are your media in a list format with no option to sort.
    This person simultaneously posted his question at another forum for which he received a reply and a workaround  which included going into the Elements Organizer/Create/SlideShow Editor and create a slideshow that could be outputted (Edit in Premiere Elements) back into Premiere Elements 9. I would take issue with that suggested approach since I believe that there is an easier and quicker workaround to overcome the inconvenient loss of those features in Premiere Elements 9 Project Media View.
    First, the questions and then my workaround for this situation
    Does anyone know if Adobe is aware of this situation and intends to correct this oversight or intentional change in features?
    Has anyone come up with his/her favorite workaround for this matter?
    Bottom Line for my workaround: From Premiere Elements 9 workspace, go to Elements Organizer workspace and create a sorted album of the media brought into Premiere Elements 9 Get Media/Files & Folders. Then exist Elements Organizer, opening to Premiere Elements workspace where one uses Filter by: Select Album and does just that.
    I will post a step by step on my suggested workaround if requested.

    I was trying to be discreet and have us still remain friends, so I did not mention the responder at the other forum by name or place. You let the cat out of the bag. OK, no offense taken please, but I thought that your workaround "Elements Organizer/Create/Slideshow/Edit With Premiere Elements" was "not so good" a choice. I will owe up to that.
    None of the workarounds are as good as the Adobe Icon View of prior version, but....
    Workaround 1. If your interest is getting sorted photos for using the Create Slideshow Feature in Project Media View. The secret is to put the photos in a Folder and then move the photos around in the Folder. I can go into the choreography on that if need be. Then highlight all the photos in the Folder, select Create Slideshow. Even if you do not go the Create Slideshow route, this is one way to get sorted photos for the Timeline.
    Workaround 2. If the Create Slideshow feature is not involved. Going the create Album route in Elements Organizer.
    Premiere Elements 9 Get Media/Files and Folders
    Add Media Dialog
    Select photos, Click Open
    Select Organizer in the row above the line of Organize/Edit/Disc Menus/Share to open the Elements Organizer.
    In the Elements Organizer, go to the Albums category and expand that category, then click on the green cross, and select New Album. On that right side of the Elements Organizer you will see a window with two tabs, Content and Sharing. Select Content and drag your media from the major window on the left to the Content window on the right. Name the album and click Done.
    You will then see your Album name listed in the Album’s category. Click the green icon to the left of the Album name. When you do, you will see thumbnails for your photos numbered sequentially in the major window on the left side of the Elements Organizer. Sort the photos there as you want them arranged on the Timeline.Then exit Elements Organizer via File Menu/Exit.
    The Premiere Elements Organize workspace will open. Go to the Filter by: Select Album and do just that, selecting the sorted album that you just created. Highlight the photos  and drag them to the Timeline.
    That is what I have come up with so far. I have been doing a lot of retesting of the principle to make sure that it would work more than just the first time.
    What do you think? Contribution or first class dud??
    ATR
    Just another possible variation on the thought with regard to Create Slideshow....it might merit thinking about numerically or alphabetically ordering your photos in a Folder beforehand and then bringing the Folder into Premiere Elements so that you have the Folder in Project Media View...Select All...Right Click Highlight....Create Slideshow?????

  • Batch transcode project media?

    I've been cutting a project in native AVCHD (.MTS files shot on the Sony FS100), with the intention of conforming the media used in my finished sequences to DPX files for grading in Resolve Lite (Resolve 8 can't handle .MTS files natively). My question now is: how the heck to I get my sequences out of Premiere and into Resolve? I'm a little new to Premiere, so I'm not sure if I'm overlooking something obvious…
    In FCP7, it's a simple task to open up media manager and transcode the project media to a different format, omitting unused media and adding handles to the clips, if desired. Try as I might, I can't find a way to achieve this in Premiere.
    The only way I can see to get my edit into Resolve is to export the sequence as a single file and use Resolve's scene cut detector to split apart the shots. This is less than ideal for a number of reasons—I have to move all my video down into a single track and strip out all the transitions, for instance, and because the shots have no handles, cross-dissolves represent a logistical nightmare.
    Is there another way?

    Andrew.
    The only glitch in your workflow is the inability of Resolve to use .mts files natively.
    This adds to the complication of what can be a  reasonably normal NLE to external CC application (via an xml export of the project.).  You can use an intermediate if you choose.
    It is an issue for me  as well but I cover it by shooting to an external recorder simulateneously ( avch on the sd card and prores on the Samurai ssd)
    Speedgrade has addressed this and it will be great ( fingers crossed).
    Checkout the CS6 to Speedgrade workflow that has been posted up by Adobe.

  • Project Management Question - timelines for Production system deployment

    Hi
    I need an expert advice on setting up timelines for establishing an Oracle Apps Production environment. We are implementing Oracle HR & Payroll at an organization.
    Our system architecture is a 2-node application tier and 2-node DB tier (RAC). RAC is configured by another party and we only have to prepare the application tier (2 nodes)
    We would be installing Oracle Apps R11i (11.5.10) with jserv load balancing on the 2-nodes
    Can anyone suggest how much time this should take to install/configure & patching of the application tier (on 2 nodes)?

  • Project Billing Question

    Hi All,
    I have couple of Project billing questions. Hope you can help
    1)A wrong customer was attached to project billing agreement, funding and base line also completed for the customer.
    Now we realized that its wrong customer and want to change it to correct customer.
    What are the options we have here?
    Can we delete or end date the billing agreement?
    will the funding be release from the wrong customner after deleting or end dating the billing agreement?
    2) Wrong customer attached to a project..agreements,funding,baselining are NOT done.
    How can we delete this customer and add the correct customer?
    The option to change the customer is grayed out.
    Appreciate if you can help.
    Thanks

    Hi
    On your first question you said the agreement was created for wrong customer. Since you already baselined the funding, I assume you have that customer linked to the project.
    You can go the Agreement form and  enter a negative funding line allocated to the same project. The total allocated amount will be zero. The agreement is now not allocated and free to be allocated to another project. If it is a wrong agreement you may update the agreement amount to zero.  Now create a new agreement for the right customer.
    The open issue is with the project. You have a wrong customer associated with that project. However, system will not allow you to remove the customer - project record.  Solution depends on the way the project was setup. Did you enable customer at top task? if so, end date the top task and create an alternative top task with the right customer.
    If the project has been set with a single customer you better close the project and start a new one.
    However, if you need an alternative solution, I can suggest a custom method. Go to Help > ..> Examine and change the existing customer of the project to zero contribution.
    Now you will be able to add the right customer to the project and have 100% contribution on it.

  • C- project certification question and material

    Hi Gurus,
    I want to know is there any cretification for  SAP C- Projects  could you please let me if any one has SAP done c-project certification questions, or any relevant sites wherein I can get the same.
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Thanks
    Ashish

    Hi Ashish,
    cProjects being a part of the PLM package, you would need to undergo SAP PLM certification. As per my knowledge, there is no separate cProjects suite certification available.
    However, there are training programs conducted by SAP for cProjects and xRPM. You may get the details regarding these from the marketplace. Please refer https://websmp101.sap-ag.de/partnerportal/apj/home
    Let me know if this helps.

  • Basic recording/feedback question

    I'm recording basic vocals against accompaniment tracks using an APOGEE ONE and Audio-Technica 40 series AT8449 condenser mic. I use only headphones, no external speakers.
    If I record with "monitoring" on I constantly battle feedback/distortion, especially on songs with a wide dynamic range. When the feedback protection kicks in the message indicates that I'm getting feedback through my external speakers (which I don't have), I can minimize the problem by turning "monitoring" off but I lose the reference vocal. I know I must be overlooking something very simple. Any help is appreciated.

  • Basic PDF/SSL Question

    Okay, I know this is a basic question, and I'm not sure if this is really where I should be posting it, but maybe someone out there has experience with this.
    I have a PDF form sitting on a secure server.  I have it set up to email the completed PDF back to our company when the user clicks the SUBMIT buttton.  Whether or not the PDF is secure coming back to us would be dependent on the email server the user uses - not that the form sits in a secure area on our server or that the PDF is security settings are set, correct?
    Any input appreciated.

  • Basic wifi service question

    basic wifi service question
    A Windows-using friend of mine subscribes to a service from Verizon that is sort of like a cell phone for a computer - wifi service that you can access from theoretically anywhere, for something like $60 a month -
    as far as I can determine, one CAN get this for Mac but ONLY if you have a 15 or 17 inch laptop with PC slots - unless I am missing something. It requires a special kyocera card.
    Another company, T-Mobile, offers a similar service, but with no MAC access at all.
    So my question is: is there a similar service, wi-fi access theoretically anywhere (or even just anywhere in New York City) ? Hopefully with just the regular mac airport card and not any additional special hardware?
    Thanks!
    Will

    Hello WillFriedwald2
    The kind of service your describing is probably a 3G and GPRS service.
    Phone companies now offer mobile high speed connections using EDGE technology or GPRS2 and supply a 3G or GPRS PCMCIA card.
    However some companies are now offering a package whereby you get high speed 3g and gprs and also wifi.
    So to use this service on a laptop that has no PC card slot you need to get a 3G or GPRS2 phone that supports blue tooth then you can connect your laptop to the phone over bluetooth and therefore access high speed internet.
    But if you had a desktop mac such as a G5 you would be better just getting a regular cable or dsl connection in your home and invest in a wireless router.

  • Basic JDBC transactional question

    Hello all,
    I have (what I believe) is a basic transactional JDBC question.
    Here's what I want to do:
    begin transaction
    select a row from a table where (some condition).
    that row may or may not exist.
    if the row exists: update the row
    else if the row does not exist, insert a new row
    end transaction
    I want this entire thing to be atomic .. I don't want the select to complete, then have something else come in there before the update/insert takes place.
    I'm using MySQL .. I seem to remember hearing about some proprietary MySQL command which would do a SELECT + UPDATE atomically .. which would be fine, but I can't find it.
    Wrapping this with a row-level lock would be fine too .. I'm just not sure how to do that in JDBC.
    Thanks!
    -d

    By thte way, and not that it helps the orignal poster, who's using MySQL, but Oracle has a proprietary MERGE statement that does "insert or update" in one go. For example:
    MERGE INTO bonuses D
       USING (SELECT employee_id, salary, department_id FROM employees
       WHERE department_id = 80) S
       ON (D.employee_id = S.employee_id)
       WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET D.bonus = D.bonus + S.salary*.01
         DELETE WHERE (S.salary > 8000)
       WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (D.employee_id, D.bonus)
         VALUES (S.employee_id, S.salary*0.1)
         WHERE (S.salary <= 8000);

  • Experiment Results: Removing/Replacing Projects, Media Manually

    Experiment Results: Temporarily removing Events and Projects from library
    REASON: I wanted to test removing events and especially ram-hungry projects from FCPX 10.1 to unclog the app a bit. I've been getting lots of spinning wheel time and dropdown windows saying projects unopened and unneeded were being loaded.
    METHOD: I copied a library to another drive and experimented by manually removing some events made up entirely of projects.
    Why not remove them? There seems to be hysteria about manually touching the library but no one relates an actual incident that highlights how things can go wrong.
    I copied a library to another drive and experimented by manually removing some events made up entirely of projects.
    NOTE: The projects are early versions of segments of feature length doc I most likely will never need to bring back in.
    After removing an Event that had only Projects, FCPX opened no problem and a lot quicker.
    ODDITY: Removed Events names still appeared with the twirly triangle beside them tho the event icon didn't appear and the Events were empty. I tried trashing them but couldn’t.
    I then closed fcpx and removed media. Reopened no problem. Closed.
    Returned Event folders and media to their proper place, reopened no problem. The projects were all there tho their icons were blank at first but then after a couple minutes pics started appearing in them and pretty soon all seemed normal. I opened projects, they worked, no problem.
    TO TRY?:
    Moving projects & media manually between events—This may be where things get dicey, but you could do this manually with earlier versions of FCPX. It's not something I would do normally since ti's too easy to do in FCPX. But since I have this copy I might try it just to see what happens. If you don't experiment it's  not science it's religion. And since I wasn't eaten by monsters doing the above it makes me doubt the hysteria about this. Still something I wouldn't normally do.

    elmer

    Yes, I think you're right. In another discussion, a gent said his students had had corrupted files. That wasn't something I'd heard before, just the strictures against doing it.
    Ok, so I was wrong. I still have this problem with slow performance due to all appearances having too many projects (earlier edited versions of segments of feature-length doc).
    My only resort now appears to be to delete early project versions of segments (duplicates in prior versions of FCPX, snapshots now).

  • Oversized Project - Media Manager Error

    Hello, I have a 200MB project file and about 3TBs of source media.
    The Project File size is scary since it takes forever to load, plus FCP6 unexpected quits a few times a day (working all day/night long).
    I tried Media Manager for the first time yesterday and after analyzing my project, it says my current project and expected project size is unknown with a question mark. Maybe it's too big to calculate or something. I tried this on 2 different computers, first being my laptop, the second being a decked out 8-core tower. Same exact symptoms both times.
    When I commit to my settings I get General Error 34 after a minute or two.
    Can anyone recommend a next step for me. Searching Media Manager is overwhelming here.
    Thanks for your time
    -Monty

    You've got to pare this down! FIRST THING, Make a copy of the project and put it away as an archive. Open the project. Go to the render manager and toss out all the render files, which you probably have TONS of, in old sequences etc. Next, start throwing out old sequences that you're sure you're done with. Remember that you can always open up the archive copy and get anything you might toss by accident.
    Once you're down to a manageable size, THEN try media manager. I suspect you've basically paged out fcp. 200 mb is a pretty huge file size.
