Batch Processing merge clips

Is there a way to batch process this process. I am trying to sync a large # of timecoded audio and video files and I do not want to use make multi clip function. As it creates extra items I do not want.

Not to be harsh or anything, but sorry man, but this takes time. Editing takes time...prepping footage for editing takes time. This is why the assistant editor exists. To prep the footage for the editor to edit. Not all productions can afford the assistant (so they say), so they pay the editor, who earns twice what the assistant would get, to capture, organize and prep the footage for editing. And yes, this is plodding and tedious work. I know, I did it for 3 years.
The only way to do this is by going one at a time and making a new multiclip. Well, not the ONLY way, but this is the best way. And yes, if you have lots of clips this will take lots of time. This is why the assistant editor works at night, after the editor goes home. Or works on another system.
Sorry...but it takes time.

  • Acrobat stripping out clipping paths from jpegs in batch processing

    Acrobat 8.
    I'm using the batch processing feature for watermarking both
    fpo jpegs (and low res pdfs) and I've noticed that when saving to
    jpeg, clipping paths in the original jpegs are lost.
    How do I get acrobat to retain the clipping paths?
    Thanks,

  • Batch processing and rendering multiple clips in SpeedGrade CC?

    I'm new to SpeedGrade CC, just watched 2 hrs of Lynda training, and I'm just about ready to go. Before people jump on my question, let me walk through what my indended use will be.
    Unlike most of the content / workflow that was discussed in the training, I'm not color grading a sequence of clips stitched together in a timeline, but multiple clips that have been pre-edited to length, that I want to apply the same color correction two. This will only be done to small groups of clips, maybe 4-5 at a time, but since I'm all about efficiencies, I wanted to ask what the best workflow for doing this is.
    Let's assume that I've taken one of the clips and adjusted everything natively in Sg (no Dynamic link from Pr). I like where I ended up with the settings so I saved a .look preset file.
    So what is the next best way to handle applying these settings to the other files? Creating mutliple, separate Sg projects doesn't seem the efficient way, and having to cue up each succesively for Render, equally as slow. In the lessons the instructor illuded to working with and processing "dailies", which I also assume would be achieved through a batch process, but that isn't covered.
    I appreciate the advice!
    Steve

    Interesting ... process ... you have there. Hmmm. I can't think of any way you could work in Sg that isn't on a timeline. Whether made in PrPro or there in Sg(native) ... it's a video editing program, and that's done on a timeline. Plus the way the both PrPro and Sg are designed, you MUST define and name a project before you can start to work.
    Now, other than where the working files for the project will be kept, you don't really have to complete the forms out in PrPro especially. After you give your project a name and say where it's files will be kept, you can simply skip the rest and when you create a new sequence & drop a clip onto it, the sequence settings will be set to match your footage.
    Now ... do you have all one type footage (codec, frame size & rate) or different kinds, say some 1080p-24fps, some 720i-60fps, some 460p-29.976fps, that sort of thing?
    You know, what I'm thinking ... might actually be the easiest. Create a project in PrPro ... and a new sequence for each type of footage. Use the media browser panel to import all your footage into the project panel ... drag & drop a few similar clips to a sequence, then DL that over to Sg (takes a couple seconds) to grade/look 'em. Save 'em back to PrPro, then render that sequence out. Then when you know you've got a good render, either delete the clips from that timeline & re-use it, or create a new one. Do your next group. Rinse and repeat, so to speak.
    I take it you've no reason to save the sequences of graded clips past rendering them, so you should be able to use just the one "projects" and import folders as necessary, removing them as you will. You won't spend near any time with the "project" details, but the programs will be happy.
    Again, as noted above you can either copy a grade to other clips on a sequence or put an "adjustment layer" over the clips of a sequence in PrPro (project panel: new item -> adjustment layer) and then grade that ... it will automatically be applied to all clips under it.
    And before you ask again, there isn't any way to work a single clip without it being a "project" with a timeline. These aren't photoshop, where you can open a single image.

  • Batch processing audio for separate video clips?

    Hi there, new to the forums. I have roughly 100 separate video clips that either I have edited and exported out of PPro or collected from other outside sources. The video clips were recorded in a wide range of environments, producing widely varied audio levels and sound quality. The videos are for a blog.
    I am hoping to create a batch process preset in Premiere Pro or Audition to normalize the audio in all of the video clips. My goal is to have the audio play back at the same volume level in all of them without having to edit the audio individually in each clip. I have been searching the forums for a while for help with a batch process solution like this. Running CS6 so have full access to all Adobe apps.
    I have played around with running the clip audio through batch processing in Adobe Audition CS6. Haven't had any success thus far -- the audio doesn't save within the same video file it was pulled into Audition from. I really would like to normalize the audio without having to re-import/-re-export each separate video.
    PPro group might be the wrong place to start, but figured I would start here. Is there a missing manual out there for doing something that seems relatively simple?

    Premiere Pro can't do this.  If Audition can't either, then you're probably stuck doing it manually.  Or at least, using non-Adobe software.  Possibly VirtualDub, depending on your source media.

  • Ok, my problem....merging two unique files batch Process

    Ok, my problem....I have been deconstructing films, so I have thousands of picture files for batch processing in Photoshop (Resizing etc) What I would like to do is batch merge two or maybe three lots of deconstructed film footage image files from different sources, one as a background film image file and one as the forground film image file layer, thousands of images all at once, after they have been processed first in photoshop, so I have seperate folders with the image files in each folder, they need to be combined in sequence as I want the image/frame numbers to match up in each folder, then combined to non merged layers and saved into another folder, I want non merged layers, so I can use an action later to balance the overlay. I know premiere and After Effects could maybe do this, but I am looking for a different kind of effect.....thanks

  • Sync problem with Merge Clips options in PP CC

    Hello
    First post in the Adobe Communities! I'm glad to be a port of it
    I'm editing a short film and I've started using the Merge Clips option to do the syncing of image and sound, together with the "In Points" option as the Synchronize Point. When I sync material I like it to be exact and perfect, therefor I use the Audio Time Units option to do so, to insert my in-points, but when I Merge Clips the result isn't as exact as I told it to be, the audio clips are slightly out of sync, very slightly but annoyingly, and it seems to ignore my workflow, or adjust it self or something. I was wondering if the Merge Clips option supports when you use Audio Time Units option to set the in-points for syncing, or if there is any other option or work-around to get the syncing perfect. OR, is it suppose to be like this when syncing? I hope not. I'm not sure but I think I hear an echo effect in the merged clip as well, very minimal though.
    The screenshots are zoomed in on with the "Show Audio Time Limits" option on.
        I want it to be like this...                                                                                                               
        ...But it end up like this when I Merge Clips
    Thanks for reading, hoping someone can help me out!
    Best Regards,
    Daniel

    Thanks, I suppose I can start batch-converting my mjpg movies before importing them inte PE7, if that would make this problem disappear. I'll try that (I have FormatFactory installed, but VirtualDub seems like a nice tool if that is better), although that would make the process a bit more long-winded...
    Regarding GSPOT info on a file that works and one doesn't, there are typically no difference between them (except length and content, of course). In fact, as I mentioned above, the same movie did not work until I did some reinstalling, clearing caches etc. Then the same movie suddenly worked OK again.
    I attach the GSPOT info on that file.
    (I never had this problem on my older XP system that run PE2...).
    I will try converting to see if the problem disappears.
    Thanks!

  • Missing Audio with Merged Clips

    I'm experienced a very confusion and frustating kink in clip merging process. I suspect other people have encountered it before, but I can't find where. I'll post tech details at the end.
    I merged clips by marking an in point on the audio and an in point on the video. I placed both clips in to my timeline. I deleted the stereo track that came with the video. I linked the 4 mono channels to the video, and dragged them over to a bin, where it asked me to name the merged clip, and I named it according to the scene.
    I had no problems working with them
    Upon returning to my work, however, some of the audio seems to be missing. That is, the top of the four mono tracks is there, but the other three, while there in the timeline, play no sound - they don't have any waveforms anymore (it is not any kind of mute track issue, the waveforms themselves are gone).
    I have since tried merging clips directly in the media browser, using in points, and this seems to resolve the problem. While I am happy to see a solution for the future, I am on a very tight deadline and don't have the time to re-merge all of my hundreds of clips.
    This is an awful bug that Adobe has got to fix.
    Thanks!

    I created a new user account and trashed my preferences and I have the same problems. I created a new project, and new sequences. Same problems.
    It only happens with 23.98 (batch reverse telecined using Cinema Tools) NTSC DV clips that have been merged with separate 24-bit 48 khz Quicktime audio clips (converted from BWF using BWF2XML). Clips that were captured from the tape with audio and video simultaneously don't have this problem. The discrepancies between the actual amounts trimmed and the white numbers in the trim windows are consistent. If it's off by 6:10 on a clip, every time I try to trim that clip it will be off by the same amount. But the number varies from clip to clip. It's generally 5-8 seconds.
    If I try to trim only the audio, I don't have any trouble. If I trim the audio and video at the same time I don't have any trouble. It's only when I trim the video on its own. If I use the original video clip before it's merged with an audio track then it trims fine. If I cut the merged clip into a sequence then delete the audio track from the sequence the problem remains.

  • Acrobat 9 Batch Processing - Get PDF filenames from folder?

    Hello,
    Can anyone provide me with an example with how to use Batch Processing (when set to a specific folder/files) to get a list of filenames in that folder? I haven't been able to find any examples online. There doesn't seem to be any built in batch sequences that automatically do this so I assume it will need to be done with javascript?
    Ultimately, I need to automate a process (I was hoping to create a batch sequence to accomplish this) that will allow me to prompt a user to pick a source folder of PDFs and then based on that selection, run a Javascript that I create which will merge all PDFs in that folder into a new PDF, apply some crop setttings to each page, and then prompt the user where to save the merged PDF?
    Has anyone ever done anything like this? I would love to see an example of how this might be able to be achieved.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Have you tried to create a test batch process (now called Actions)?  Actions in Acrobat 10 has the "merge all files in folder" option, and batch processing in previous versions has always included a page crop commad as well as an option for asking the user where to save the file.
    There are lots of examples and articles on this topic at http://www.acrobatusers.com

  • Need Help with HTML Batch Processing

    Hi,
    New to this forum so be kind
    I am trying to work out a way to batch process html's.
    The html template is used in our eBay listings.
    All the information I want to change is the same.
    Eg in my template I have the number "0234" it appears for 6 times, sometimes in the text sometimes in part of the image title I am loading.
    I then have an excel sheet listing all my codes that i need to make htmls for - 0234, 0235, 0236 etc etc...
    I use say 10 templates depending on what number im doing.
    So next cell to the codes (in excel) I list what template I would need.
    Now I know in dreamweaver I can search for "0234" in my html & replace to create my new html. But I have 1000's to do, and I am sure I am doing it a long way manually.
    Is it possible to use the excel sheet and dreamweaver together to process all these changes in a scripted batch system? and even load which html to use?
    Or maybe use a different software?
    Any advice would be much appreciated.
    Kind Regards

    The closest to this I have done was in using Photoshop and text files to create hundreds of photoshop designed banners that all had different copy/type on them but based on a template and, the same idea but with pharmacy magnets using InDesign and Excel.
    The idea is that you put text boxes in the document and specify a variable for them and then equate those boxes either to variables in a text file or to column headers in an Excel file.
    Google on "Data Merging" and perhaps you'll find something.
    I'm not aware of a way to do this with html documents but if you approach the html as just a text file, then conceptually, you should be able to create a template whereby you assign a variable to certain divs or input boxes or whatever. Then, you might have to re-process the entire lot to remove the code needed to distinguish a field as dynamic but that would easier to remove.
    I'll watch this post as well because massive replacements are always something to know about!

  • Batch Processing doesn't update files in Premiere Pro CS5.5

    Hi,
    I'm not sure if this question should be under 'Audition' or 'Premiere Pro', but I'm selecting a large range of audio clips (from a wedding ceremony) and sending to Audition from Premiere (selecting 'Edit in Adobe Audition')
    When the clips appear in the files section of Audition I select 'Batch Process', drop them in and make the batch process start. When everything is finished and the files are automatically saved, I head over to Premiere to see if the wav's have updated - but nothing. Everything is exactly the same.
    Any help would be great?
    I'm not adding any prefix's etc to the filename, and I'm selecting 'overwrite existing files' and 'same location as original files'.
    Cheers,
    Thomas

    Hi Durin,
    Sorry for the delay, had a couple of deadlines to meet and ended up doing the hundred-or-so clips one-by-one in audition to get it done.
    That's the issue exactly, I go back to Premiere after doing the batch process (and they all auto-save) but Premiere doesn't update the waveform or in fact the audio doesn't show the changes I've just made. The strange thing is that if I do them one by one, then Premiere recognizes the changes and I can get on with it.
    The steps I take are: 1) Drop the clip in the timeline, do a bunch of editing (occasionally nesting and multi-cam editing a sequence). 2) Right click and Edit in Audition 3) Open Batch Process in Audition 4) Drag drop all the files just sent to Audition from Premiere, into the Batch Process section 5) Run batch process 6) Go back to Premiere and see if it's updated in the timeline. I wait, and wait, but nothing. Everytime.
    I'm thinking it's something simple I've clicked, but have no idea what. Either that or it's some sort of bug issue.
    I will be upgrading to CS6 creative cloud soon, hopefully that'll fix it.
    If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them. Otherwise, thanks for trying.

  • Saving JPEG images in a batch process

    Please, I need help....
    I'm making an application that loads an image, perform some manipulations and save it into a JPEG file..
    The code I use to paint that image to a Graphics object is this:
              public void paintToImage(Graphics gr){               Graphics2D g = (Graphics2D)gr;               //CONFIGURO O RENDER PARA SER O MELHOR POSS?VEL                g.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_RENDERING,RenderingHints.VALUE_RENDER_QUALITY);               g.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_COLOR_RENDERING,RenderingHints.VALUE_COLOR_RENDER_QUALITY);               //seto o clip rect               g.setClip(0,0,w,h);               //pinto o fundo de branco               g.setColor(Color.white);               g.fillRect(0,0,w,h);               if(img==null)return;               g.drawImage(img, -origemXY.width, -origemXY.height,this); //'this' means an instance of my JPanel          }I call this method to paint my image into a BufferedImage this way:
         BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(myComponent.width,myComponent.height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);     myComponent.paintToImage(bi.createGraphics());If I call it to a single image (like an ActionEvent for a selected image) it works fine...
    But when I try to call it from a batch process, like a loop to paint several selected images, it aways produces a white JPEG.
    All the code inside my "paintToImage()" method works fine but the line "g.drawImage(img, -origemXY.width, -origemXY.height,this);".
    I know that because if I use "g.setColor(Color.red)" instead of "g.setColor(Color.white)" it produces a red JPEG.
    Could it be a proble with the ImageObserver that I'm using?
    The method below is invoked to save several images selected in a JTree, but it only produces white Images:
                   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){                    TreePath paths[] = filesTree.getSelectionPaths();                    for(int i=0;i<paths.length;i++){                         filesTree.setSelectionPath(paths);//this line sets the selected image that is about to be painted by my previewPane into a BufferedImage                         try{                         BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(previewPane.getImagePane().getPreferredSize().width, previewPane.getImagePane().getPreferredSize().height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);                         previewPane.paintToImage(bi.createGraphics());                         /* write the jpeg to a file */                         File file = new File("D:/VER/0000" + i + ".jpg");                         FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);                         /* encodes the image as a JPEG data stream */                         JPEGImageEncoder encoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(out);                         JPEGEncodeParam param = encoder.getDefaultJPEGEncodeParam(bi);                              param.setQuality(1.0f, false);                         encoder.setJPEGEncodeParam(param);                         encoder.encode(bi);                         out.close();                         }catch(IOException ioex){                              ioex.printStackTrace();                         }                    }               }

  • Just what is a batch process?

    According to what I have read, one difference between FCE and FCPro is that FCPro can do a batch process. So for importing what would a batch import be. My vision is taht it would be selecting a bunch of different clips and then capture or import just those clips. I haven't worked with tape, just HDD so I am not quite getting the advantage of the batch option in FCPro vs just using FCE. I hope someone here can enlighten me.

    I can see where this would be a big savings of hard drive space if a lot of the tape was not going to be used for a particular project. But viewing it in real time and marking the in points and out points seems like a lot of time.
    But I guess you would be viewing it at some point anyway.
    Thanks for the information.

  • Image matte key: batch processing possible?

    Hello again,
    I have a question concerning batch processing with Premiere Pro CS5.5.
    I would like to apply an image matte key to about 30 videos. The matte doesnt change, neither does the background photo.
    I would like to know if there's a way to apply this to all the videos at the same time.
    I have only been able to apply it to one video at a time, which means that I would have to do the same process 30 times. Because I have about 12 sets of background photos, I would have to do it about 360 times in the end. So batch processing would really help...
    I need the videos to be seperate in the end (360 videos).
    I hope someone has a solution for me. Thanks a lot in advance!!!

    Check to see if this works:
    Create and Import your Matte into PrPro. Place it on the desired Video Track, and then extend its Duration for all Clips on that Timeline. Apply the Track Matte Keying to the first Clip, and make the attributes adjustments to it. Rt-click that Clip, and choose Copy. Then lasso all other Clips in that Track, Rt-click on them and choose Paste Attributes. Does that work?
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - not sure if a Nested Sequence would also do what you want.

  • Merged clips audio not playing

    Is there a reason why my merged clips no longer play audio?
    Also is there a way to batch merge clips? I had to individually sync my whole project one video/audio clip at a time...a little disappointing to do all that work and come back to my project where the audio won't play.

    Might be a good idea for a feature request.
    Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
    On the not playing issue, I'm sort of stumped.  It's just always worked for me, and it's not an issue I recall seeing reported here by others.
    Maybe try recreating the merge?

  • Trim mode with merged clips

    I'm cutting a feature film on FCP 5.0.4 editing 23.98 NTSC DVCAM. The audio was recorded on a hard disk recorder with independent timecode and the clips were merged using slates.
    If I enter trim mode by double clicking on the video track (with the purpose of trimming only the video track) and change the duration by clicking on the +/-1 or 5 frame buttons, the picture will suddenly jump by 5 or 6 seconds and the white "out shift" or "in shift" numbers will jump 5 or 6 seconds as well. Dynamic trimming has the same problem.
    However, the actual edit made is correct, it's just impossible to see what frame I'm on without playing it back or getting out of trim mode. If I trim the audio and video tracks together then everything works as it should.
    Has anyone seen this problem before? Know how to fix it? I couldn't find anything in the archives.

    I created a new user account and trashed my preferences and I have the same problems. I created a new project, and new sequences. Same problems.
    It only happens with 23.98 (batch reverse telecined using Cinema Tools) NTSC DV clips that have been merged with separate 24-bit 48 khz Quicktime audio clips (converted from BWF using BWF2XML). Clips that were captured from the tape with audio and video simultaneously don't have this problem. The discrepancies between the actual amounts trimmed and the white numbers in the trim windows are consistent. If it's off by 6:10 on a clip, every time I try to trim that clip it will be off by the same amount. But the number varies from clip to clip. It's generally 5-8 seconds.
    If I try to trim only the audio, I don't have any trouble. If I trim the audio and video at the same time I don't have any trouble. It's only when I trim the video on its own. If I use the original video clip before it's merged with an audio track then it trims fine. If I cut the merged clip into a sequence then delete the audio track from the sequence the problem remains.
