Bridge for data asset management?

I've been looking for a while for a 'simple' data asset management application.
What it should be able to do or have is:
1. a simple interface, manageable by anyone.
2. both mac and windows compatible
3. drag and drop facilitated for both images AND their description into inDesign.
Why?: we work for a large mall group, that produces some 20 large folders a year. No need to say we have built up an image database of thousands of items, most of which are reused regularly. Locating them for use in a new folder is not such a problem in itself; but reusing the text is. Each time, our client provides more or less the 'same' texts and prices (they retype them), which means that all texts, whether they have been published 10 times before or not, always have to be reread, reviewed by a copywriter, and on top of that, retranslated (in Belgium, you always need editions in Dutch and French). This is a silly and costly situation.
I love to use Expression Media for comparing pictures, and it's drag and drop capable - for picutres - not for text. Bridge doen't seem to do the job either, and it's not an actual database.
So is there a simple way or application (affordable) to get over this problem, without the need of some complicated Unix-based, nerd-interfaced server?

Did you tried to explore Canto Cumulus ?
They have two editions, the 'single user' (very affordable) and a more complex build to order. When you have many users on different locations or use over a network it might be to complex for the single user version I'm afraid ;-(

Data Asset Manager, Drive or Terminal ideas

I have about ten to twenty HDs with various scraps that I've collected over the years. I'd like to organize them, find duplicates (or dump the files for good!).
Anyone know of a good Data Asset manager? Any one use CDFinder?
Is there a way to use Terminal to generate a list of all the files (not folders) on a drive that I could export into Excel or FM and manipulate? (I have nearly zero terminal experience...)
Thanks for any suggestions
D.

Start with a google search for *list files in directory unix* for a Terminal command.

As far as functionality is concerned, I would take a look at the [SAP Help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/b0/df293581dc1f79e10000009b38f889/frameset.htm]

New ORG for Oracle Asset Management

We are implementing Oracle Enterprise Asset Management. Oracle recommends that we create a seperate org rather than use the production org. Can anyone give me insight into the advantages or disadvantages of either option?
Thanks
Jeff

John,
On this training link, I could not find much about directory mapping. I can mapp shared schema at several level ie at database level, at domain level and also can do 1:1 mapping to user. How these are different and when should one use one on another?
Thanks

I am interested in using Bridge as an asset management tool over a intranet network, is this possible?

I'm working with a client that has an intranet and CS6 and would like to use Bridge to manage our digital assets. Can multiple computers use bridge effectively over a network?

Bridge is not designed for use over a network nor is it official supported by Adobe for that matter.
The application itself uses its data written to the user library for one computer. Some people have managed with great care and knowledge to let it function over a network but I think as soon as you let people write data them selfs from different workstations things pretty soon get bad due to not having this data available to other users.
The Image archivist is one that has succeeded to use Bridge over a network, google this name and you will find his blog

Meta data and data asset management

I am looking for suggestions and or products that can support managing our footage.
Our goal is for an editor to search for a clip using the data entered in the “description” (metadata) field of clips and sub-clips that have been logged in various projects.
Here is the outline.
We record clips of high def footage and we import batches of these clips; sometimes a few dozen, and sometimes thousands. We bring these batches into a Premiere Pro CS5 project by importing the video clips from within a P2 card folder structure, or avchd, or dslr footage or ??/any format we collect...
We log a description of the clips and of sub-clips, and then we edit a film from those elements. After 1 project, or after 50 projects, we have all the detailed description (metadata) we've entered about each clip and sub-clip captured, and this data lives within the CS5 project. We can only search it from within the original project.
If we start a new project and we need to look back at footage from old projects, we can only search for footage by going into that old project . We would like to have the metadata write back to our archive (or a copy of the footage in a new archive.) If the archive and the clips and sub-clips had the metadata from the project we could search and find assets. Among the obstacles is that sub-clips share the name of the clip it comes from so there is no “place” for it’s metadata. We've tried using Project Manager>Collect Files & Copy to New Location but the subclip .mxf files created through this process are copies of the source clip despite being labeded "random.subclip001". When imported, this "random.subclip001" file shows up in Premiere as the original "random" source clip name.
We are looking at a small library – but it’s big for us. About 20 terabytes… A typical client might have 4-6 terabytes of assets we would like to look through for a shot, or an interview… Has anyone made inroads on this?
Many thanks for any thoughts and ideas.
Sincerely,
Rees Candee

Hi Abhilash,
Meta Data-
In BW the meta-data contain data about data.
It is like having information about the information.
You have the business related meta-data for example the description used in your reports or the technical related meta-data for example the rules used in the transformation or the extraction. These are the two types of meta-data you have in the metadata repository that you manage with the metadata manager
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/80/1a6197e07211d2acb80000e829fbfe/content.htm
Meta Data Repository
It is the repository which Manages Meta Data, for example like when talking about an ODS in the metadatarepository you can read about which characteristics, key figures, infosource and updaterules are used in it. And creation date, owner etc.
Thanks,
Sudhakar

Hoverscrub in Bridge for video subclip management

I have a library of hundreds of subclips which I use regularly to create mood videos for clients, but finding a useful way to collate and organise them has been difficult, as I want to be able to assign multiple tags for each video. For example, a video may contain a girl framed in a close up shot, holding a camera, smiling, in black and white, shot at 60 fps. Keeping all this data easily accesible to sort through is difficult. Bridge is probably the obvious choice for this due to its ability for metatagging, but I find the Premiere environment much easier because of the hoverscrub feature and the ease of dropping it into a rough sequence. Hoverscrub in Premiere makes previewing videos effortless - Bridge's preview window is a little more difficult to use.
I guess the ideal workflow would be to be able to either save metadata to subclips when you export them in Premiere and have the ability to search through metadata filters in the Media Browser of exported clips, or for Bridge to adopt Hoverscrub. I've explored Prelude, but it is really only useful for ingesting footage and roughing a sequence for refinement in Premiere, rather than subclipping and tagging with metadata.
Is anyone else in the same predicament as me? How are other users dealing with organising their subclips?

Looked at the clip for hoverscrub and read further explanation. It looks like an interesting way to view video. But think you are correct when you said Bridge is a photo browser, as it was made to reflect needs of Photoshop. While video has been grudgenly added to Bridge and Photoshop, in my opinion, it will always be a token effort. There is something to be said for not going to the universal program that does it all. It usually does not do anything real well.
It appears you can add keywords in PP and view them in Bridge. Here is a copy of a blog to explain how.
The short answer is:
In your Preferences > Media Preferences
choose the checkbox for
"Enable Clip And XMP Metadata Linking Check this box to link clip metadata to XMP metadata, so that changing one changes the other."
This is from:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WSAB1EDD0E-ADC2-4a10-B399-...
Not able to test this now....but you might need to put your keywords in to fields that are common to both XMP data and PPro Project data.
Remember there is some distinction about a FILE that lives in the file system versus how that file is used as a CLIP inside a PPro project. (for example having multiple differently trimmed instances of the same FILE as different CLIPS.) So in some cases in the Project Panel there is metatdata that distinct to the PPro project versus that which is common to the File asset itself.
But as far as creating searchable keywords common to PPro and Bridge, this should be able to be achieved pretty painlessly.

SSM required for Data Mobility Manager?

Everything I am reading is saying that to do DMM, I need a SSM. Yet when I review the CCIE Storage lab equipment list there is no SSM module listed, yet the lab blueprint says "Implement DMM". Is there a way to implement DMM without a SSM?

Stephen, no worries, but it seems that since the Storage lab uses a 9222i and MSM's, that is how they do SME, DME, Santap etc.
In fact, I have searched but have not found a comparison document of intelligent features supported by MSM, 9222i, and SSM. I am a bit confused over what you can or can't do with one vs. the other as far as intelligent features are concerned.

Hi.
Does anyone have configuration docs for Asset Management
thanks

Go to http://help.sap.com/ and click on SAP Best Practices. Look for Building Blocks Library under the Additional Information on the right side of the page. In the Building Block Library, look for J10- Asset Management. Click on that and thereafter, under Technical Documentation, click on configuration guide. There you should have all the information or at least some of the information you need on Asset Management.

Bridge for mac issues

I have 128gb class 10 sd card as external storage but when i goto bridge for mac>>browse/manage files on device, i cannot do anything other than look at the files on internal/external storage..i can't do anything with them??? what is the point of this feature?
I also cannot use file commander to do anything other than transfer music to sd card. The music files all appear on the sd card as individual music files and not as albums and i cannot create folders to the sd card. This means that I have nearly 2000 music files listed on the sd card. When i run anyone of the music players i have they all appear as contained within an album...so difficult, not straight forward at all.

Using the browse/manage files you can manually copy files to/from your phone. Also open Finder and then use drag and drop to copy files.
To create a folder using File Commander, tap the "+" at the lower left and select "Folder" and type a name for the folder.
