Batch import for filebased projects

Hi,
When I try to batch import FCP automatically starts Log and capture.
How do I change that for filebased(p2, red, xdcam) projects, so it starts log and transfer instead?
Couldn't find anything in the manual... guess I'll look again.
Virgil

Thanks.
My issue isn't finding log and transfer. I have a lot of offline prores files, that I wish to online.
I have done exactly that by using reconnect media point to the online quality files but I was just wondering if it was possible to use the batch import function in a filebased project.

Can I invoke "Organize Imports" for whole project?

On the features page on labs.adobe.com there is a mention that Organize Imports should work for "projects". Does this mean that I can invoke this function for a whole project or do I need to do it file by file? If it should work for a whole project, how to invoke it?
Thanks,
Borek

"Organize Imports" isn't available at project level.
It has to be invoked file by file, as it not just removes unused imports but adds any missing ones, resolves ambiguous references and consolidates the import statements
Thanks,

Importing Word docs from a RH for Word project

I have a HUGE RH for Word project that I'm trying to convert
to RHTML (RH Office X5). We generate CHM with this project, and
we've got map ids for all topics. I've been to Peter Grainge's site
to get some ideas, but I don't think they're going to work. There
are so many Word files and topics (537 and 2,974, respectively)
that the more I think about it, the more I think that a conversion
to RH HTML might not be worth it.
When I tried to import all of the Word documents and also
convert the TOC (converting the Index isn't an option since it
never worked with our large number of Word docs) and use the
HTMLHelp.css (using the Import wizard), RH HTML crashed twice after
40 minutes.
So, I created a new RH HTML project and tried to import just
one Word doc from the RH for Word project, and selected the same
wizard options. As I expected, the Word doc imported, but even
though I told RH to split the topics on Heading 2, it also copied
in the characters (#S+@) that preceded every topic heading and
incorporated them into the Topic Title. AND, RH HTML did not
"convert" the TOC - it was blank.
In another post I saw a reference to this patch -
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb07-10.html.
I'm not sure it's related, although when I examined my second
failed import attempt, the imported topics were visible in the
project folder only by using Windows Explorer - RoboHelp HTML did
not display them from within RoboHelp.
Does anyone know if this is the patch that will fix this
issue as well?
By the way, based on the number of questions I've seen posted
about RH for Word 7 with zero replies, I'm thinking I'm going to
run into issues as well, even if we leave it in RH for Word when we
upgrade to version 7. It seems that its size is an issue for RH
HTML.
Thanks,
Jim
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,
just as an encouragement: we sucessfully converted a HUGE RH
for Word project (4,300 topics) to RH HTML a while ago, including
TOC, index and everything. I must admit though that we had all
those topics in only 25 word documents. Maybe you can reduce the
number of documents by moving the topics? There will always be
problems you run into and afterward, we had to go through every
single topic and check the formatting, but I guess you'd always
have to do this. But I think it's worth it, working in HTML is so
much more convenient.
Good luck!

FM import into RH project creates a separate folder for every FM chapter

I am importing a FM book into RH 9 to create a new help project. RH creates a separate folder for every FM chapter! The folder contains the html and CSS. This is messy and useless since all html will point to a single help CSS for the project. It will be tedious to move all the html topics to one folder plus I will lose the FM link for future updates.
Did I miss a step in the import that controls how the project is created in RH?

Yes, this is deliberate - in fact most people want to sub-divide their .fm files into even finer topics - that's what the pagination setting in the Conversion Settings screen is for. Why do you want them all to be mashed together anyway?
I've only heard of one other poster wanting to stuff all their FM content into one folder - try searching the forums. I seem to remember there were a bunch of suggestions to things to do from either the FM end of things or the RH side.
The reason why Adobe did it this way was to give you individual control over the CSS to be applied to individual topics (even if most of us just apply a common one across the board in the SSL recipe when we create our help).

Importing RoboHelp7 for Word project into RoboHelpHTML - error

I am trying to import my RoboHelp7 for Word project into RoboHelp7 HTML so that I can include Captivate App Demos in my help project. (As I don't seem to be able to find out how to do that in RH7forWord.)
I make a copy of my project directory from RH7forWord. I then open RH7HTML and choose to open the hpj project file in the copy directory. It works for a bit and then reports "This project is from a newer version of the program. This project is no longer compatible with this version. Please make sure you have the newest version installed."
I have rebooted, ran all updates to all Adobe products and rebooted again. It still reports the same error.
What can I do to start using RoboHelpHTML on my RH7forWord project?
Thanks,
Jeff

Ok - I have to admit complete brain fart idiocy here. I thought I was using RoboHelpHTML v7 and I was opening v6. Both of which I have on my system, and the desktop icon for the latter I have mis-named.
Very sorry for the wasted bandwidth and thank you for taking the time to respond Peter.
I will start a new topic on going from RoboHelp for Word 8 to RoboHelp HTML 8 in a moment that I hope you will take the time to offer advice on.
Thanks and apologies. I know it is ridiculous to make such a mistake.

Batch Import of metadata for images

I have a big collection of images, but all the individual keywords and descriptions of the images are stored in an external file (Excel table / XML File). Is there some way to batch import all the information without having to do this by hand (it'll take ages...).
The image names correspond to the names given in the Excel table. I would appreciate any advise.

No, you would have to go through another program such as iView and script - Excel's VBA can automate iView. Alternatively, you would be able to use VBA to generate XMP sidecars.

Importing dvd's to edit in final cut (for uni project- a movie trailer)

Hi, I need to edit down an existing movie into a ten minute trailer for a project at uni. Obviously there will be a disclaimer stating this is copyrighted footage and I am not passing the content off as my original work, only the edit (otherwise this would be plagiarism). The problem is I was advised by the lecturer to use handbreak, which doesn't rip into a suitable format. I need the files as DV or .mov ideally. Any freeware that is up to the task? Visualhub is no longer available, even though i would've happily paid a tenner for that. Anyone any ideas? This is a one of project so I don't fancy paying a lot for it. Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

More flexible imports for Camera Raw please

Even if there are NO changes to the settings between individual (non-sequential) images, each import of a camera raw file must be approved by clicking okay for each file. In projects which involve hundreds (thousands?) of unique stills this is needlessly tedious.
Instead, the option of one CR dialogue would suffice that could (again, optionally) be applied to all.
Adopting Photoshop’s Camera raw dialogue’s ability to process BATCH images in the window and opening them all in PS seems like a natural solution to AE import hangup.
This should also allow for the option to re-open the dialogue after import on one or more stills to modify the contents and then close.
In addition the fact that AE insists that a still need be at least one full second seems like an unnecessary restriction. Why is it not possible to import an image as just one frame?
The modification I suggest would saves tremendous time and allows for incredible flexibility.
We had an animation project where we have to manipulate1200 stills in After Effects to create an animation. Since the stills were not shot sequentially and the editing/compositing needed to happen within AE, importing as a sequence was not an option. The impediments in basic import functions added a full day's work just to import the files(!). We ended up selecting the images in LR, applying minor correction, exporting the selects as DNG files, importing them into AE (clicking the OKAY button in the CR dialogue for each of 1200 images) then selecting all the images and creating proxies so they were easier and faster to work with. (note: we ended up buying a proxy creator script because AE won’t generate proxies for multiple items in one action)
This is not an isolated case for one project. We require this function all the time. But the tedious importing of 1200 images in one project really broke our morale.
Thank you for your consideration.
><({(º>

If you have a suggestion for making AE better, please file a feature request. They get tracked and they prioritize what the AE team puts their (limited) resources to. Forum posts can't be tracked, but they are a good way to suggest to other AE users that there might be a new feature they should also request.

Batch transcoding for Blu-ray

Hello,
We have many short ~2 minute files with long filenames (so they can cleanly be used to form the chapter descriptions for the disc) organized into folders and, as mentioned in another thread, we are having difficulties preparing these files in advance for Blu-ray processing for Encore so they do not need to be transcoded when we select 4-5 to author a Blu-ray with. I tried to get around this by creating a massive project with all 500 of our files, using Encore CS6 to transcode all of them, then hoped Encore would know it transcoded that same asset in another project when we went to use 5 of those same files in another project. Unfortunately, not only did Encore not automatically detect that it had already transcoded the file for Blu-ray in another project, but when we went to manually locate the file, we saw that Encore truncated all our filenames to 20 characters in the Transcoded folder, followed by "_sessionA_blahbalhablh.m4v". Our filenames are not unique to 20 characters, so many filenames with A, B, C, D, etc suffixes were created and we have no way of telling what file is what. We can't even play the file to check, and we also can't compare the running length as Encore transcodes to elementary streams that can't be played back. Is there anyway to copy the transcoded asset knowledge from one project to the other so we can make use of the 3 days of compute time we appear to have wasted?
I've also looked into using Adobe Media Encoder to do this, but I think I'd need to take our files one folder at a time and run the transcode on them so they didn't get jumbled with the other files. I can't see a way to setup AME so that it handles recursive folders, and I also can't see a way of working with AME through command-line automation so that it can whir away and process one folder of 5-10 files at a time. All I can see is a way for it to turn out a similar output to our failure with getting Encore to transcode the files.
Any ideas on how we can batch-transcode for Blu-ray ahead of time instead of wait for Encore to transcode for every disc we build?

Encore is not long filename friendly, and will cause problems if you exceed an 80 character filename (Including spaces). Odd characters and in some cases excessive path depth can also be issues. The Encore authorcore (sonic based) is old, and just not modern filename friendly.
So I'd rethink the long filenames generally.
Ask your AME question in the AME forum. I do not know whether there is a good option for you or not.
hoped Encore would know it transcoded that same asset in another project when we went to use 5 of those same files in another project.
Encore creates a folder structure for the project, and under the sources/transcodes/ folders, a folder for each asset that is transcoded. As soon as you create a new project, all that is gone, and with it encore's memory for it. You can import those files as assets, but I assume your point is that you can't tell what is what.
We can't even play the file to check, and we also can't compare the running length as Encore transcodes to elementary streams that can't be played back.
The elementary stream is an m2v. You can play these (e.g. with vlc player). But all that would be cumbersome.
Still thinking about this...

How to import an j2ee project into j2ee perspective of NWDS

while trying to import an j2ee project into NWDS .....it is giving an error """unbounnd classpath container:org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.web.container".
So where must be the problem.Should i have to install some eclipse plugins in the NWDS ????

Hello again
Sure, you can import the topics as a "batch" by selecting many topics at once.
As for the links, I'm thinking that as long as you maintain the relative locations between the linked topics, that all should be fine.
What I mean by the relative locations is to say that if you have a folder structure in the source project, you will need to ensure you have the identical folder structure in the destination. Then ensure the topics are copied to the exact folders.
Cheers... Rick

Help needed for automatic batch creation for by-products(PP-PI)

Hi,
In the Goods Recpt tab in transaction COR1, we have a field for creating a batch manually for the header material. On clicking on create, a pop up is generated whch facilitates creation of batch for the header material.
At this point, if i go to the material list, I would like to see the same batch number ( same as header) written against the BY-Products.
Essentially, when i create a batch for the header material, it should also create a batch with the same number for the by-product and populate the same in the materials tab.
One important thing to note here is that when we click on create batch icon, the data is stored in a structure and the batch is actually created only when the process order is saved.
Please advise if this can be achived by some standard settings in SAP or do we need to change the standard code. If later is the case, please advise about the point where to insert the required code. I have found a user exit at the point where batch numbe is created manually.
Please advise.

As per SAP Batch definition Batch is the quantity or partial quantity of a certain material or product that has been produced according to the same recipe, and represents one homogenous, non- reproducible unit with unique specifications. So logically you cannot have same batch number for two materials.
If you want to find out the relation between batches of header material and by product that is produced during production, you can use Batch Information Cockpit.
To see batch details in Batch Cockpit (T-code: BMBC), You have activate Batch where used function in IMG using path : Batch management-->Batch Where used list --> make setting for batch where used list.

Sachin

Excel Importer for Visual Studio LightSwitch 2013

Has anyone managed to get the 'Excel Importer for Visual Studio LightSwitch' extension working with Visual Studio 2013?

Hi Kevin,
I assume you mean this extension here -
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/silverlight/Excel-Importer-for-Visual-61dd4a90
From what I can tell that does not yet support VS 2013. The source code is of course available, so you could attempt to fix it up yourself and tell us the result.
Thanks.

How Do I Use a SINGLE Custom CSS for My Project?

How do I set a single CSS for a project?
Currently, I have linked (I checked, they are actually linked) FM files. The project is Responsive HTML 5 Single Source Layout. It is set up this way:
Project Files
Each FM file has a folder that contains a CSS, an FPJ, any baggage (PNG, for example) and an HTM.
So, for my project, I have 31 such folders.
Above them is RHStyleMapping.css.
That's it
To map my project to a custom CSS, I did this:
1) Created the custom CSS (let's call it TheSingleCSS-sb01.css) and put it in the same location as RHStyleMapping.css.
2) Right-clicked Responsive HTML5 (Primary Layout) in the Single Source Layouts pane.
3) Selected Properties. The Responsive HTML5 Properties dialog box opens.
4) Click Content, select the Apply to all Topics check box, select CSS, and choose my CSS, TheSingleCSS-sb01.css.
5) Click Save and Generate. Generating happens.
6) When prompted, click View Result.
7) Double-click one of the resulting topics, and choose the HTML tab.
8) Notice the following CSS files are referenced, NOT the one I want:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="Configuration_ChangeWorkflow.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="..\..\RHStyleMapping.css" type="text/css" />
<image>
So:
1) How can I replace 32 individual CSSes with one single custom CSS?
2) Also note that Project Manager does not display my custom CSS, even though it is in the same location as RHStyleMapping.css and referenced in the Properties dialog box.
Thanks all,
Sean

Hi, so as I mentioned before, I have used Apply to all and this doesn't work. The resulting HTML still uses a specific CSS for that one HTML file.
1) I put the CSS I want to use, Sean01.css, in the top level of my project using Windows Explorer.
2) I Save and Generate.
3) But, my settings for styles in the CSS are not used. For example, FM_GlossaryDefinition is defined with a 0 left indent but actually uses a 144pt indent (that mirrors the print FM document and that I do not want).
4) And, you can see from the actual HTML, that the Sean01.css file that I applied to all topics (see the first image) is not referenced. What am I doing wrong?
What am I doing wrong? Again, these are imported FM files; this is not linked.
Thanks,
Sean

How do I import an Iphoto Project (book) directly into Aperture 2?

I have a book that I did as a project in iPhoto '08 that I would like to import directly into Aperture 2 and "redo" the book using Aperture's new features.
Although I imported my iPhoto library I don't seem to have this project in Aperture and when I look to export the project from iPhoto it wants to export it as a movie.
Since the photos from iPhoto are in Aperture I figured that importing the iPhoto project would be easy. I don't want to recreate the book again if I can help it - I just want to import and modify it in Aperture.
Is it possible to do and can anyone tell me how to do this?
Thanks,

You CAN completely customize the text in iPhoto books, including left/center/right justifications, and it is fairly easy. Here's the workaround:
1) In your iPhoto book (or calendar or whatever) layout, highlight the text you want to modify or change its alignment.
2) Launch TextEdit and open a blank document. Paste the text from iPhoto into the document.
3) Still in TextEdit, highlight your text. Using ordinary word processing methods, modify or realign your text as desired. When satisfied, highlight the customized text and copy it.
4) Back in iPhoto, paste the newly modified text you just copied from TextEdit into the desired text box, overwriting (or deleting first) the original text. All the modifications you made in TextEdit should apply.
This trick can work wonders for helping make an iPhoto book completely your design.
