Batch-Processing Marker Regions Problem?

I got a weird one here.
Batch-Saving Marker Regions using the marker name as the file name (which I use just about every day!) is telling me that one particular group of markers already exist at the destination folder, and prompts me to over-write. First off, there are NO files by that name in the destination folder, and second, when I tried to overwrite, it started a save operation that said it was going to take 15 minutes! And this is for a 15-second mono mp3.
I triple-checked that the proper destination folder is selected in the batch processing box.
Any idea what is going on?
Thanks!

I figured it out. In case anyone is interested, Windows reserves certain file names because they are system files, like "COM1, COM2, etc." My client specified the file names for the project, which is why I tried to use "COMx." I guess even he didn't know.
Anyway, I just changed the file name and it worked as per usual.
Cheers!

Marker List: Batch Export Marker Regions MISSING

Hi guys,
I am running Audition 3.0.1 on Windows 7 x64 and just went to use the 'Batch Export Marker Regions' function in the 'Markers' panel to save any my marked regions to seperate files.
However, the icon for this seems to be missing completely.
Any ideas what is wrong and how I might get the icon back?
Here's a grab of the panel. As you can see, the icon that should be bottom right just isn't there!
Many thanks in advance,
James.

Hi guys,
I have solved the problem! Although I now realise that I have totally missed how this all works.. Doh.
Basically I was expecting to see the batch export option icon in the 'Marker List' when in 'Multitrack' mode. I now realise that it is only available in 'Edit' mode.
Sorry for wasting your time although this might help out others who make the same mistake as me. I assumed I would be able to do this from Multitrack mode as I find it easy to edit a large VO take in multitrack and then apply effects to the whole track easily. It would be nice to be able to batch export from this view based on the current track settings, but it's not too bad.
Also, for anyone who is wondering you can take a multitrack session down into edit mode with ALL markers in place by going to File->Export->Audio Mixdown. From here it's then a simple case to export all markers out based on your preferences.
So pleased to have solved this one.
Thanks for all responses.
James.

Batch Processing Marker Ranges?

Is there a reason why I cannot change the sample type in the "Batch Processing Marker Ranges" operation? The window has an "Output Format" window where I can choose save the markers as different file types, so it seems like I should be able to. What I am trying to do is save a marked-up mp3 file as a bunch of 22050 hz wave files. It will let me save them as individual waves, but when I click on the "options" button, all I get is a window that says "Windows PCM: Format 32-bit data as," and everything is greyed out. What I have ended up having to do is a separate operation AFTER running the Batch Processing Marker Ranges operation by opening "File/Batch Processing," which WILL let me convert the 44.1 Khz files to 22050 Hz. But it seems so inefficient to have to run two batch operations.
Advice?
Thanks.

Batch Process "save as" problem

Strange things are happening during the batch process save as function.
I have a set of actions i need to run on a couple of hundred jpegs, they simply need a lens correction, auto colour and auto contrast, then need saving as tiffs, all works fine when i record the action, but when i run it on a folder full of jpegs, the tiffs are huge! original jpegs are around 5mb and the tiffs are 30mb, if i apply the save as to a file individually it seems fine (file size around 2mb)
In the save as section i have specified jpeg compression at a quality of 8, but it seems to miss this in the batch process, am i missing something?
Running CS6 on OSX 10.7.5

What Script? You spoke of Actions previously.
And using Save As in Batch processing can be problematic.
Maybe Image Processor (or Image Processor Pro) might help to avoid having to include that in the Action.
But why tiff if you are going to apply the same destructive compression as a straight jpg?

Photoshop 7 - batch processing is no longer doing save as

I have had Photoshop 7 for many years. I have been using several resizing and sharpening batch processes which have saved a resultant file at the end with a different name. In the Batch process an original folder was selected and a destination folder and the file name changed with a different custom prefix. I have been using these batch processes with no problems for years. Without warning I have noticed that all of these batches are no longer working and the end result is one file in the destination folder, ie it must me overwriting. I have tried to recreate the basic batch process again and have resorted to using both 'save; and 'save as' at the end of the process in different test batch processes and the same result happens pretty much each time, the one file after the original folder had 5 images. I have noticed that 'Save as' is not showing up in the actions of the batch process (only shows as 'Save' irrespective if you selected 'save' or 'save as'. It is like Photoshop is refusing to accept 'save as' with a new file as a valid action. I have also tried to check the override 'save as' box etc. If you edit normally in Photoshop and 'save as' for that image, there are no problems
Going nuts as I am a team photographer for a team playing in a national competition and therefore have a large volume of images to edit/resize

Windows XP previously, Windows 7 now (has been for about a year).
Computer is according to 'device and printers', ACPI x86-based PC, with Intel Core i5-3450 [email protected], and Xeon processor E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core - was all put together last year.
Drives are nowhere near full.
Only recent update has been Java on the weekend, coinciding with when I first noticed the issue.
I have deleted Photoshop 7 off the computer using Windows 7's delete program function as there is no uninstall.exe file in the PS7 folder. I deleted it out of Startup and off the Desktop. I also deleted the remaining plugin folder containing Noise Ninja anti-noise software.
I reinstalled the PS7 software again and in PS7 I expected the batch processes now to only contain the default batch processes, but all of my created ones are there in the list - this says they are not deleted in the uninstalll process. Where are these stored on your computer so I can delete these perhaps? However I am unconvinced that will actually achieve anything (see * below). I deleted a few of these using the trashbin off the Actions palette.
I created the numerous variations of the batch processes again, with 'save as overrides' box checked/unchecked and still no joy. What I have noticed it does not matter whether you used 'save as' as one of your actions it has replaced it with 'save' every time (*). How does/can that happen? All the other 'save' actions for any of the other batch processes all show as 'save' now. There is of course no option to change the 'save' in the actions to 'save as', eg right click mouse or something.
I haven't found anything related in Google searches.

Layer style screen pops up for each photo in Automate Batch processing

Please HELP! I managed to re-record an existing Action without problem. I double click on <Set Layer style on current layer> and change to a new Layer Style for my Watermark Text. The <Contour> is Linear. The Actions panel turns red during editing.
But when I run > Automate > Batch and select that edited Action, the <Layer Style> screen pops-up for each photo and the only way to finish the batch of photos is to click <OK> for each photo. I’m using Photoshop CS5. I have refresh Photoshop, restart my laptop but the problem remains.
I did another copy of the original Action and just changed the
value in <Text Layer> and it works in the Batch processing. This problem only happens when I changed the value in the <Layer Style>.
I have been looking into many forums and still could not find the solution. I appreciate some advice as soon as possible as this problem has dragged on for two weeks now.
Thank you in advance.

As silly as it sounds to be, I found a way out!
I decided to change the value again in the <Layer Style> on the same Action (ie Main WM Name 70 copy), and RUN <Automate> and on second RUN the <Layer Style> screen doesn't pop-up!
I just couldn't believe my eyes and did some rounds of testing! And it works:
a)Firstly, I will change the <Layer Style> to any value and saved it
(Just to test it, I Run <Automate> and the <Layer Style> screen pops-up at each photo)
b)Then I change again the <Layer Style> to the actual value I want
c)Run <Automate> without the <Layer Style> screen pops-up
To test further, oddly enough, if I change the <Layer Style> value the 3rd time, the pops-up screen appear again! And to overcome the same problem, I have to change the value 4th time, and the problem disappears.
So simple solution (at least for me) and yet I cracked my head for two weeks to overcome it!
Thanks for your time, c.pfaffenbichier.

Batch processing problems-can anyone help?

Setup: Quadcore, 4GB RAM, 4 internal drives all with plenty of space, Leopard OS, latest version.
Software: CS4 with Photoshop Extended; all updates installed. I also have CS3 installed; only use Bridge and PS in both apps.
Problem: Working in CS4. All edits/crops/corrections done in the Camera Raw window; all edits saved and viewable in Bridge. However, when I use Batch from the Tools dropdown (Tools > Photoshop > Batch), and check all the usual places, select an Action, select a Destination, and hit "Go", the results are totally weird. Some images process as expected, but many are at least two stops overexposed.
All individual files will Open, and can be Saved As manually; all works fine. That is in fact how my assistant and I got the job done tonight. The Batch Action is simplicity itself: Open, Save As (JPEG level 9), and Close file—but if I run Batch on the same files that can be opened and Saved As perfectly, it all goes crazy; three quarters of the files are totally overexposed, in blocks (10–25, roughly), and at random.
I have used the Ctrl + Alt + Shift after opening Bridge; I have run Cocktail; and lit the right incense. But this still will not work properly! Can anyone help???

Batching the same files in CS3 works perfectly, in terms of the processed JPEGs at least being correctly exposed, but the CS4-only edits (like the healing brush) are not recognised, nor are many, tho' not all, of the crops.
I have decided to deactivate and uninstall, then reinstall CS4, after upgrading to Snow Leopard. Usually, I wait for a few months for others to report on OS update interactions with CS and FCP, but since CS4 as installed was useless and I had done the usual resets of Preferences without any change to Batch Processing's reliability, I felt I could not be worse off.
So, after upgrading to Snow Leopard, I will reinstall CS4 (and all apps this time, rather than just PS and Bridge, as I usually do) in case there are soime weird unintended consequences of a Custom install.
Very frustrating and time-consuming, and I wonder what I might have done to create this problem—seeing as no one commented, I can only assume that this is an unique experience.
I will report back today, hopefully.

Batch process destination problem

I have used Automate/Batch a lot with PS7, and it seems pretty similar in my new CS3. But I am having this problem: The "destination" folder that the images end up in is not the one designated. The pics end up in a folder I used before as a destination. There is no question that I did not get it right, because PS remembers the last automation settings and I can go back and see where I told them to go. It is really weird.
Also, while most of the new pics' designations are changed to "dsc" from "DSC" (I guess that is the "+extension" setting), as they always have been with PS7, my last batch had some that were still designated "DSC". Just a few--They were adjusted properly, just didn't have the small-cap designation that differentiates them from the originals.
The first problem has occurred with both D70 & D300 pics. The second only with D70 so far.
Any help greatly appreciated. -John

Images coming out of modern digital cameras often have embedded metadata describing the orientation of the photo (e.g., when you turn the camera to take a portrait-style photo), but Fireworks does not utilize those data (though many photo viewing programs do. When you use Fireworks to open an original file of a photo that gets rotated after your batch process, does it open in the correct orientation?
I'm going to guess that the photos that get rotated probably the portrait-style photos, because landscape-style is the default layout that Fireworks just assumes unless the photo has been modified.
If this is the case, then you'll need to run a batch process on all of the portrait-style photos /first/ to rotate them, then run all the photos through the resizing/scaling batch process.

Problem batch processing in CS2, CS3 and CS4e

I have all the above named programs and have tried unsuccessfully to get the batch process to work. I currently run it in CS with no problems. We want to upgrade to CS5e and actually be able to use it to process our web gifs without constantly going back to the old version.
I have an action set up with the following steps:
Start Record
Open File
Save for Web - Set Width to 150 pixels - Apply - Save (I select a folder called 150)
I repeat process for a 300 pixel image.
Close the file
Stop record.
Go to batch process:
Choose Action
Select Source Folder
Override Action "Open" Command is checked
Choose Destination Folder (150 from above)
I select OK.
This runs fine in PS CS and no matter how many files I have in the source I end of with the same number in both the 150 and 300 folder I have created, named correctly and in the correct 150 or 300 pixel width I need as gif files.
I repeat the same procedure in CS2, CS3 or CS4e and all I get is a folder with one image in it when done. the batch runs and you can see it opening files but it just constantly overwrites the original file.
I have tried to check other boxes such as the Override Action Save As Command and other things I have found on these forums but nothing is working.
I even called Adobe and was on the phone for 99 minutes and let them view my desktop while I ran the procedure in both PS CS and PS CS4e and they were stumped. I was told they would pass it on to supervisors and someone would call me back. I called back after a week since I had not heard from anyone and was told my call was recorded as a mis-dircted call and they had no record.
If someone could please help I would really appreciate it. I have spent the last three evenings combing websites and watching videos to no avail.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, but I have checked all those and am using the same settings from program to program without success. It always work
s in PS CS.

Problems by batch processing in CS2

Hello,
I have a problem. I had record a new activity "Insert a logo and storage". Then I started a batch processing with 40 photos. But I have a problem. Not all photos are insert a logo, the first 10 photos are with logo, then come 3 without logo, then come 2 with logo and the rest are without logo.
All photos have the same dimension and all are upright.
What is wrong with this batch processing????
Thanks for help!!!!!!!
Greetings from germany

This sounds like a Photoshop, or maybe Illustrator, question. You should ask it directly in the application forum for your platform (presumably Windows) where there are more people likely to be able to help. Please try to provide some more details, like what the steps are in the action.

LR Enfuse Problem - Batch Processing Doesn't work

Hi,
I'm relativley new to Lightroom - and am trying to learn about Enfusing multiple different exposures.
I've followed all the instructions to the letter, and I'm able to enfuse great looking shots if I do them 1 group at a time. However, I've taken heaps of bracketed shots, and want to 'Batch Process' them.
LR/Enfuse appears to have the functionality, and plenty of people online seem to be able to make it work. But even when I stack each bracketed shot, and select all. It still comes up with the error message below:
"No Stacks
No Stacks containing selected photos were found. If you are trying to blend the selected images then please turn off the batch mode option."
Any ideas? I'm using Lightroom 5.2
Cheers, Thomas

Hi,
I am not sure what operating system you are using, I don't have any problems with Win 7 x64, but if you are using Apple OS there may be issues with permissions on the folders you are using e.g. the folder for temporary files.
You may also want to look at his tutorial http://digital-photography-school.com/save-time-with-batch-exposure-blending but disregard the Auto Stacking explained as it is difficult to get it to work.
I am not sure but it looks as though the stacks in the image you posted are expanded. Make sure the individual stacks are collapsed.
Apart from that I just don't know as it works fine for me.

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 "save for web" color shift problem

In Illustrator CS3, when batch processing "save for web and devices," there is a dramatic color shift in resulting files.
Is there a workaround for this problem?
Thanks!
Karen.

Make sure the color mode of your documents is RGB (not CMYK) and that your workspace is sRGB.

Batch Processing Problem

I have tried to batch process a number of files on an external firewire hard drive. I am running Mac OSX 10.6.4 on an iMac and using CS3. When I go to set up the batch process I choose the folder on the external drive but when I go to start the batch I get an error message that CS3 cannot complete the batch because the disk is not available.
What on earth is going on? The disk is fine, is recognised by CS3 when specifying the source folder.
Any thoughts

Perhaps better, if you could give me a sample xml config with global and one entity. The only attribute in the entity should be the id... The id should be the primary key in both OPA and Oracle...
The global table in oracle would contain a single column with the global id.
The child table in oracle would contain 2 columns -> one for the global ref id and one for the child key...
I think you will find problems.
As a note we have duct-tape solved this by creating views and making column copies in the views of the child id and then mapping the id in oracle to the duplicate column in the view.
So our child view contains the child table with the child id repeated twice so that we can map...
