Batch process video to swf with controls??

Hi,
I have hundreds of QT videos that I need converted to .swf
video WITH control bar and a watermark logo.
I can batch process them to .flv using the Media Encoder, but
I need them to be .swf in order to use them in Director 2004MX.
Plus, I don't see where I can add a watermark using Media Encoder.
I have CS3 and CS4 Master Collections so I assume there's got
to be SOME way to do this batch processing.
I did a few sample tests in Flash, bringing in the .flv file,
attaching one of the prebuilt skins, adding a layer for the logo
watermark, then exporting to swf. It works beautifully in my
Director project. But to do this process 500 times would take
forever.
Any advice on how to batch to .swf video with control bar and
watermark would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
-Karen

Thank you Heathrowe I appreciate it.
I guess as far as using the hotspot slicer in Fireworks, if I
export to an SWF it doesnt make that a clickable section in the SWF
file. Oh well. Would be a nice feature in the next version of
Fireworks.

Batch processing pictures in iPhoto with Photoshop CS4

Hello, I am trying to batch process my pictures with photoshop. The only problem is that I can't get a source destination for my pictures. I know how to find them on the hard drive in the iPhoto library but when I try to get to the folder with photoshop it is greyed out. I also have tried selecting the photos though 'media' on the left side of the finder. I can open them but can't use that as the source folder for batch processing. Can someone help me out here? I am getting pretty irritated with iphoto, I am sure there must be some way to do this.
thanks
Kris

Do you have PS set up as the editor of choice in iPhoto like this:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
However, this method will only let you open 4 photos at a time. You can have more than for open but will have to go back to iPhoto select 4 more and open them.
Otherwise you'll need to export the photos out of iPhoto to a folder and do the batch processing there.

Batch processing of white balance with RAW photo's in v.5

Hi,
I have the plugin for RAW to use with Photoshop Elements 5.0 but there doesn't seem to be a way to correct a whole group of photos in raw for white balance or some other correction in a batch. Maybe I'm missing something or maybe this can't be done in Elements.

Elements doesn't have the ability to Batch Process RAW files like you want.
You could make a Batch Conversion to JPEGS, PSD or TIF but each image gets the same default adjustments. I think you could save a new default with your adjustments and then this would get applied in the process. You'd need to remember to go back the Camera Defaults afterwards.
The only other thing available is the Previous Conversion feature but this still means processing the images one by one.

Batch Processing Video Problem

Hi
I am using CS4
I have a number of small AVI files I would like to batch process. I need to use 'load video frames as layers' and then I have an action set up that lays each layer out to form a grid of small images.
The problem I have is that when I run the batch process and point it at the folder it loads the videos as a single image (first frame visible) rather than as layers.
If I include the instruction to load video as layers in the action its forces me to select a file and when I run the batch process it acts repeatedly on this file only rather than all the files in the folder.
Any ideas?
Thanks in Advance

Figured it out myself - discovered the animation panel (doh) and used 'flatten video frames to layers' in the action

Batch processing a PDF file with photoshop droplet

hey, ive been trying and trying to make a photoshop droplet where i can drop a pdf on it and it will apply a "levels" (cmd+L on mac) change to all of the pages and re export it as a pdf.
.....i know how to record actions and create droplets but there are issues with the number of pages of the pdf and the name of the pdf
if you can figure out method for this and share that would be AWESOME!

Which version of Audition are you using? The latest ones allow you to specify where the batched files are saved and also if any Prefix or Postfix are added to the file name. These are all under Export Settings in the Batch Process pane. However you must have the Export box ticked to give you access to the settings.

Batch Processing .doc 2 .pdf with Acrobat 8 Pro and Office 2004 on Tiger

I have been through the forum posts and for each relavent thread there is the easy batch process that can be done to solve this issue - however, the major flaw I have is (as seen in the attachment) no option to be able to open Word docs. How do I enable Acrobat Pro to be able to open word docs??!?!? It really is an answer I have not been able to find on the web anywhere!

Then what do you make of this persons post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1098036#1098036
"Create a new batch sequence. Select 'Run commands on Selected Folder'. In the source file options enable 'Microsoft Office Word'. Then let run the sequence."
I am able to work out the whole process except in my Acrobat there is no option for "Microsoft Word" as Bernd suggests - how do I get it on the list.

Batch processing does not work with action

Here is the thing. I have implementes several action on Photoshop. SOme of the include several sub actions and different saving locations. For example, I open a file, then I hit my prefered key combo for that action, and I have:
1) convert to cmyk
2)save copy as JPG with 11 quality level
3) save to folder A
4) image size to 72 dpi
5) covert to RGB
6) save as JPG 6 quality level
7) save to folder B
8) close file and discard cahnges.
Everything runs like heaven, but the moment I want to batch several files everything stalls.
I choose file > Batch > Choose my set > choose my action
Source > I choose where my files are (usually a PDF)
then I use "Supress file open options dialogs"
Destination> Since I already have set destinations y my actions, I choose here a "dump" folder
On errors > I hit Save As... and put a name for that log.
Then photohop opens my PDF on Photoshop and does nothing! It keeps my file open.
I m gettting frustated here, because I ma about to work with 400 files to batch, and this batch system does not work.
I am using CS6
Any clues

Your action doesn't to seem to include any Open actions. Why do you have the "Supress" option enabled?
Also, since your action has the two save commands, you would just leave the Destination set to None. Setting a Destination means that is going to save the files again.
The problem you'll run into though is that the action also saves the file name as part of the action, so that you'll end up just saving over the one file each time the action is played back on your 400 files. So Photoshop will process all the files, but each time it will overwrite the first file, so you'll end up with one file in each folder. Normally, in these situations, you'd use the Destination setting and use the "Overrride Action "Save As" Commands", which would substitute the Destination folder for whenever a Save command is used. The problem here is that you can only choose a single destination folder, so all files would be saved to the same location.
Short of scripting this, it may be best to break this into two separate actions.

Converting video to Flash with controls

I want to take video from a DVD and turn it into a Flash
movie so I can use
it on a web page. I would like it to have the controls for
playing and
pausing. What would be the easiest way to do this? Is there
certain software
I should be looking for?
Thanks
Debbie

Certain software other than Flash? have you read the help
docs regarding the FLV (Flash Video)
format? There's an entire section of this site dedicated to
how to incorporate Flash video into your
website:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/video.html
Also, go here:
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/
select Flash and then narrow it down to FLV - there are
several video tutorials from Richard Galvan
to watch.
hope this helps.

Need video recording app with control over microphone sensitivity

Everybody is talking about sharing video's but it looks like nobody is making those video's while I hear nobody talking about Recording video's.
I record now and then at concerts. I have the problem that while I record an video the incomming sound is to loud. When you replay the recorded movie the sound is sounding like the distorition effects of an gitar, to loud.
Does anybody know an video recording app for the iPhone 3GS where I can adjust the strongness of the incomming sound?
Regards,
Ton van Leeuwen
The Netherlands

The audio was likely distorted bacause the phone is designed for recording local voice sounds, not loud constant concert sounds, I'd guess that any audio compressor or automatic gain control present in the phone simply gets overwhelmed by the lack of normal speech patters present in a loud concert. I dont think a third party microphone would help.
The video orientationis set when you press record, so if you hold the phone in portrait when you start recording and then turn it to landscape and make the video, when you play this back on a computer, the video will be on it's side. The phone does not autoswitch while recording. The difference between the two modes is pretty obvious but if you are striggling to work it out, shoot a couple of brief tests in each mode and watch them on your computer, not on the iphone.

Can I batch process? I need identical effect processing of multiple video files

I have just joined Creative Cloud, so these are very basic questions.....sorry.
I shoot videos of live bands using two cameras, so I usually end up with around 25 separate songs per show and 50 separate files (2 cams, two files per song). All the files are: 1920x1080 resolution, 23.976p frame rate, Pro Res 422 codec.
I currently edit in FCPX and color correct in DaVinci Resolve.
Because of low light conditions, I often need to use the effect Neat Video to remove noise. However, FCPX doesn't like Neat Video: freezes up, will restart rendering sometimes, etc.
So, I need a way to take the color-corrected files from Resolve and process with Neat Video, then import them into FCPX for multi-cam editing. (If Premiere Pro handles Neat Video well, then I may switch from FCPX to Premiere Pro and do it all there.........but I need time to learn Premiere Pro).
So I decided to try After Effects for this. I just tested some files in AE and the Neat Video processing went well.
However, I need to batch process the files if possible. Currently for each file I am:
(1) Setting up a Composition
(2) Adding the Neat Video effect to the file
(3) Using the Neat Video window to adjust settings
(4) Setting the render settings
With my approach I will have to set up 50 separate Compositions.
Questions:
(1) Can I batch process all 50 files, with one set of settings? (I tried using multiple files in one composition, but AE only rendered out the top file).
(2) Can I tell AE that I want the render settings to be the same as the imported files (resolution, frame rate, etc.), rather than having to enter the render settings each time? I just want the rendered files to be identical to the original files, except for Neat Video processing.
Thanks for your help.

I don't think Mylenium understood you. You need to not only bring each of 50 clips into it's own Comp but then you need to apply an effect (Neat Video) to each one before going out to the Render Queue... right?
Here's what I would do. Import all 50 clips into your project. Select all of them and drag to Comp button (on the bottom of the Project panel) or right click - "New Comp from Selection". In the dialog that pops up selct "Single Composition", use dimensions from the clip of your choosing, select "Add to Render Queue" and select "Sequence Layers". Open the Comp and select all the layers (they may already be selected), apply the default Neat Video Effect to all of them (or apply it to one, tweak it, select all the other layers and copy/paste it).
Now download this script...
http://www.redefinery.com/ae/view.php?item=rd_RenderLayers
In After Effects go to File/Scripts/Run Script File and choose the rd_RenderLayers script. Make sure you are happy with the Render Module settings and the file naming and off you go.
You'll have all 50 clips in 1 Comp, with one place to copy effects and then each layer gets output back to an individual file.

Batch processing FLVs on Linux

Hello,
Does anyone know of an application for Linux that can batch
process video files, or better yet 'watch' a folder for video files
to process, and convert to FLV files?
I know that Sorenson's product has this capability but it
doesn't run on the Linux platform. I am hoping to upload video
files to a server, have them automatically processed to FLVs and
play them back using the Flash Media Server app.
Thank you.

I would suggest you give Flix Engine a try. It is a
transcoder that works on Linux and I believe it can do what you are
looking for. The other solution that won't work on Linux yet is
called FlipFactory by Telestream. Flip is a transcoder that will
monitor specific areas you want and automatically transcode files.
I have been nagging Telestream to death to make a Linux port of it,
and yet they haven't.
Let me know what you come up with. I couldn't get Flix to
work properly on my Gentoo Linux OS, but it may work on yours.
Good luck.

SAP R/3 vs XI Batch Processing

We are planning to move some of our existing interfaces between legacy systems & R/3 to be processed through XI. We would like to do this in such a manner that the business doesn't get impacted much and also keeping the project costs to minimum.
Current interfaces use batch processing in R/3 with 1000's of records sitting in a file ftp'd from legacy system and a pre-edit ABAP program will validate the data and posts transactions in R/3 using BDC sessions. Errors will be reported through some custom application built in ABAP. Users will process the BDC session and correct the errors to post the documents. In some cases we use BAPI's but when the BAPI errors out a BDC session is created for processing the errors.
We are on XI3.0 SP12 & R/3 4.6B
Can XI do all the stuff that R/3 does today in terms of batch processing and error correction by business user etc. What are the limitations and are there any workarounds to overcome them.

XI is not meant for that and cannot do that. XI is an integration engine and does not replace R/3 work.
What it means: XI can receive data and modify the data in mapping and deliver it to another system and invoke a process in case of R/3.
XI has 3 adapters for other SAP systems.
1. IDoc
2. RFC
3. XI Proxy
4. File Adapter (I dont think you want to create a file again, but one of my previous client used this option)
I guess you know about the first 2.
The third one is, when you receive the data from source system, modify it according to the requirements and pass it to an ABAP Class where you can write your own code.
Let me simplify this for your process.
When a file is received, XI can pick up the file and send it to R/3 System using XI proxy (in internal tables or structures) which will be executing a class. Within that class you can code to pass that data to your ABAP program with SUBMIT PROGRAM. This is just an example.
This cannot replace your BDC process, but can make it to do the same.

Photoshop CC. Actions & Batch Processing has a bug

I am using a new MAC Book Pro, with OS 10.9, purchased on 12/03/14. I subscribed to Photoshop CC and discover that I am not able to batch process my pictures. I do create new action, do the action, then save and close the picture file, then stop recording. I then do automate and batch and select the source folder and destination folder and do OK. I then get a random series of parts of the actions carried out. For example I tried to change a file of 27 images from colour to black & white. I actually just got 5 images changed to black & white. I have tried to batch process various picture files, with the same results. I am a professional photographer, and have used Photoshop for many years. Batch processing is absolutely fundamental to my work, so I am having to cancel my subscription and revert to an older version of Photoshop. Adobe cannot expect professional people to tolerate this basic lack of product non functionality.
Here's a revolutionary business lesson for Adobe, put more money into R&D and testing, develop a working product, and you will sell more product, and your profits increase !.

It in now mid November and this bug still hasn't been fixed!
That's really unacceptable. I've already lost a few hours trying to find another solution...

We are looking for a software which converts SWF to MP4, we found many software which does the job but issue is file size is not optimize. We found Adobe captivate 6 which gives optimum quality with good output but thing is we do not have batch process i

Hi
We are looking for a software which converts SWF to MP4, we found many software which does the job but issue is file size is not optimize.
We found Adobe captivate 6 which gives optimum quality with good output but thing is we do not have batch process in captivate 6. so we request you to create a plugin or give a best option which have batch render quality and optimize in file size,

Captivate is e-learning development software not a dedicated video convertor, you are better off trying something like Adobe Media Encoder or Super.

Possible to embed video with controls in FM PDF?

I have a very specific end in mind, and I'd like to know from you folks who might have done this before if it's even possible, and if so, the steps to follow to achieve it. Here goes...
I'd like to take an ordinary AVI file, convert it FLV in Media Encoder so it's of a manageable size, bring that into Flash in order to add controls to it (stop, start, pause, etc.), import the SWF file into FrameMaker and export a stand-alone PDF file than includes the video, without needing to reference any external files or servers or anything like that. Just one PDF file that includes the demonstration video and the means to run it.
Right now the show-stopper seems to be it's possible to create a SWF file with controls, OR a SWF file that encorporates an embedded video source, but NOT BOTH at the same time. Anything that enables you to have controls seems to insist on referring to an external file, which I need to avoid.
Then the problem becomes is it even possible to import such a SWF file, with working controls, into FM and thread it through to a PDF file where it will function as such?
Anyone who can point me the way, I'd be much obliged. And thank you.

Thanks, but I've seen that file before. While it's interesting to learn you can create links below a video to do this, the really ironic thing is that the PDF file contains video presentations making use of the controls that I'm looking to include (see graphic). In fact, it was this very document that got me interested in seeing how to do this in the first place. Now, I might be mistaken, but I don't think this is a solution available inside FrameMaker itself and I'm really after a cross-application procedure from someone who's done this in the past. I appreciate the input, though.
