Browse which project to import files too

Hi,
I'm starting to do a lot digitizing of old photos/negs and have created projects by year for my organiztion structure. Currently I import to a temp dir and custom name each month then move the pix to the right project and then album. It'd be nice to be able to browse where/which project to import files to instead of just having the recent projects or new option, as the recent projects list doesn't show what I need. Thoughts? thx

You can select the Project to import to by clicking on it in the Projects & Albums (Library tab) list on the left side of the screen instead of choosing from the Recent projects drop down list in the Import settings Dialogue on the right side of the screen

After editing a project, my imported files disappear.

After editing a project, my imported files disappear. White page with yellow triangle alert. Instructions say I need to relink my files, but I can't find that option anywhere. Version 10.0. Using OS X 10.9.2

Can I share and export from the 10.1.1 Trial? My son downloaded the original for me under his apple id, I don't know what his password was so I can't upgrade. He was killed a couple years ago so I don't have anyway to recover it. But I'm working on a project that I need to get out right away. Figured I'd try the new version before I buy it. I clicked to upload to youtube, but can't tell if it's doing anything or not.

PDF annotator which doesn't "import" files

I'm a PhD. student and I have to study a lot of scientific articles, so I bought myself an iPad Air. I have been storing tens and hundreds of scientific articles on my Copy and Dropbox account, well categorized and organized in folders.
If I want to read and highlight or annotate a PDF on my Mac, it's easy; just open the PDF in Preview, highlight what I want and then save the changes, *without creating a copy* of the document.
But what if I want to do this on my iPad? Every app that I tried, when I opened the PDF that I had stored in Copy (say), it *imported* it into the app's library and if I made any modifications to it, the modified file didn't overwrite the original one, but instead saved a copy into the app's library that I could then open if there is a companion Mac app.
So: is there any iPad app to annotate PDFs and not create o copy of them that is edited? I would be really amazed and disappointed if not...
Thank you!

I've done a bit of research on this topic and found out that the app that I was looking for should be, in fact, a file browser, with Dropbox/Google Drive/other-cloud-based-storage sync and some PDF annotating tools. So I bought GoodReader 4 and I'm really happy with it, I can call it a close on this topic.
Thank you.

Importing files too big

Whenever I try to import CDs the CD shows up as nearly 500 MB. I know that that is too much space, but I don't know how to fix it. What should I do?

I'm not sure what you mean. When you insert the CD and it appears in iTunes it's normal to have a total of several hundreds of MB for the files on the CD.
When the same amount shows up for the same files in iTunes, after importing, you probably imported them as AIFF or WAV.
You can change these settings in
b Preferences>Advanced>Importing
in
b Import Using:
A good start would be AAC Encoder High Quality (128kbps).
If you want MP3 at about the same quality choose MP3 Encoder High Quality (160 kbps)
The file sizes of the latter are somewhat larger.
Importing in AAC would reduce the total file size with about 90%

Because i use several browser which support locally html file but not support marque text.These browser display static html file not marque text in it.
Can anybody help me.

1. There is no reliable way of guessing the encoding of a file without that information. Thats why XML for example has very strict rules wrt. it's encoding (short form: use UTF-8 or UTF-16, if you use anything else, you'll have to specify it)
2. you might be able to make an educated guess if the possible range of encodings is limited, but it will probably never be 100% certain
3. The HTML file might have a header entry "<meta http-equiv..." that tells you about it's encoding. You could try to read the start of the file and see if you find that, then if you found it re-read the entire file.

In forms 10g ,which are the important files and parameters and there use/utility.
like formsweb.cfg is the forms config file .
Is there any other utility files ?

Additionally you need to check the env-file mentioned in the formsweb.cfg, which in general is named default.env and is located in the same directory as formsweb.cfg.

Existence of input file too important in Presort verify

Summary
I'm concerned that the existence of an input file is too important in the presort verify process. If an input file is not found, other more relevant tests are not performed. Can the verify process be updated to continue verifying even though the input file or format does not yet exist?
Details
I work with Presort on a Windows platform. My company's systems construct templates for each project we process; we do not build them by hand. The templates are typically built once we have catalog attributes from the printer/mailer, which is before the files are sent to us. We would like to verify the entire template right away and let an automated system submit the presort to run.
Unfortunately, there are things called entry points that seem to change from month to month. We need to patch up ZIPs and drop site keys before the presort can run. But entry points are not tested nor errors posted when the input file is not found. That is the catch 22. PostalSoft recognizes that the existence of an input file is not fatal; it posts a yellow triangle. But it stops verifying after that. If entry points are tested even though there are fatal errors related to output files, can the same be true with input files? Can everything not related to files of file content be tested and errors posted when there are file related errors?
Thanks for your time and consideration,
dvn

Imported files do not show up in the project menu

When I import files into a new folder I cannot locate them in the project menu. The files do not have a project path. They show up in the "last import" section though. What's wrong?

You cannot import files into an Aperture Folder. Folders hold containers (Folders, Projects, and Albums); they do not hold Images that are not in another container. Projects and Albums hold Images.
Right-click one of the Images shown in the "Last Import" Browser, and select "Show in Project" from the context menu. This should make that Project the active one, and show you which one it is by selecting it on the Library tab of the Inspector.

Premeire Elements 13 - can't import files into Project Assets, Expert Mode. Win8.1

Hello there - I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling. Can't seem to figure this out. In other computers, I have imported files into the Project Assets area to "pre-edit" before adding to timeline. I can add media directly to timeline in Quick Mode, but it's too cumbersome. Really need ability to select segments of media in the Project Assets list.
Any help greatly appreciated as I spent a ton of $$ on a new computer and program!!
Thanks folks!

Error messages during XML import of Project Pro 2010 files

Hi folks,
I'm trying to diagnose a couple of sick Project Pro 2010 files loaded from Project Server by saving them locally as XML files and then reimporting (not connected to the server during import). The anomalous behavior exhibited by both files
is that one takes 15 minutes to load from the server, while another takes over 20 minutes. These are not typical load times for this server. In both cases, Project consumes about 25% of the CPU during the load process. There's little network I/O
while this goes on, and when externally linked schedules are loaded to the cache, they load very quickly. Other than the long load times, the schedules appear to be behave normally, except for some very odd print preview behaviors in one of the schedules
that I asked about in a different thread (among other things, the default print preview start date is 17 years after the default finish date, and the finish date is about 11 years before the schedule actually starts).
The questions I'm asking here are about errors I see when I try to import the files exported as XML, and whether they might provide any clues as to what's causing the load time issues.
When attempting to import one of the files saved as XML, a pop-up appears that says, "The actual finish date is before some of the previously entered timephased actual work values. If you continue with this operation, Project will truncate
some of the previously entered timephased actual work values. To continue, click OK..."
When attempting to import the other file saved as XML, I get a series of pop-ups identifying a series of tasks that say, "The timephased edit will cause 'Develop Requirements Review Meeting Mi...' to start before 'Conduct Requirements Review"
finishes. As a result the task link cannot be honored. You can: () Continue. Keep the timephased edit and ignore the link. () Cancel. Ignore the timephased edit. (OK/Cancel/Help)".
Interestingly, both files contain external Project Server predecessor / successor links. In the case of the first file, the XML import just appears to strip those out. In the case of the second file, I get a long series of pop-ups (with
some buggy text inserts) in pairs. The first message in the pair is typically "An import error occurred. The element <PredecessorLink> in the <Task> element with <UID>=611 has invalid data. Verify that the file
name and path are correct, and then try again. (OK)", where the indicated UID varies. The second pop-up in the pair appears to have a buggy text constructor and looks like this, with "[stet]" indicating the apparent buggy text inserts,
"An import error occurred. The element [stet] Verify that the file name and path are correct, and then try again. [stet] in the 309 element with <UID>=7 has invalid data. [stet] ^4 (OK)"
In the second pop-up of the pair, the "xyz element" varies, but the "<UID>=7" reference and "^4" are consistent. In the XML, UID 7 appears to refer to a calendar, a task which includes a number
of entries similar to:
<TimephasedData>
<Type>24</Type>
<UID>7</UID>
<Start>2014-10-03T08:00:00</Start>
<Finish>2014-10-04T08:00:00</Finish>
<Unit>2</Unit>
<Value>PT8H0M0S</Value>
</TimephasedData>
... and to an assignment:
<Assignment>
<UID>7</UID>
<TaskUID>10</TaskUID>
<ResourceUID>-65535</ResourceUID>
<PercentWorkComplete>100</PercentWorkComplete>
which includes blocks like:
<TimephasedData>
<Type>2</Type>
<UID>7</UID>
<Start>2014-10-17T08:00:00</Start>
<Finish>2014-10-17T17:00:00</Finish>
<Unit>2</Unit>
<Value>PT8H0M0S</Value>
</TimephasedData>
Eventually, the second file also does load with no external file links indicated.
Again, I'm just looking for anything that might be a clue to the long Project Server load times.
Thanks in advance,
LP

Slow performance can come from a number of different things. Without knowing more detailed information about your setup or workflow, it's difficult to accurately troubleshoot.

Import Files as Projects makes other projects disappear

Hi,
I'm new to these forums and new to Aperture. I would really like some help with this issue. I have searched the forums and while I've found one other post with the exact problem no one has posted an answer...I hope for better results.
I work in IT so I am pretty savvy, as such I will try to explain the issue as thoroughly as possible.
ISSUE: I have created Folders at the root level of my Aperture Library. Inside those Folders I have imported pictures with the standard import method, and as expected it has created projects for each import. After realizing that I could import "Files as projects" I tried that option. I had about 9 projects in the folder and after importing "Files as projects" for several new folders I was left with only a few new projects and several of my existing projects were gone. If I click on the folder that contains the projects all the pictures are still there, but the organization of having them in their individual projects was lost.
At this point I started over. Rather than taking the time to import one folder at a time, I decided to try the "Import Folders as Projects" option from the start. I had about 17 folders I was importing and after getting the successful import message I was left with only 8 projects, rather than 17 as expected for each of the folders imported. However, once again, ALL the pictures where there in the root folder.
I tried a third time. I wiped the library clean and started over and I got the same results.
Once again, I'm a new aperture user and I would like to transfer my MANY pictures into Aperture but If I have to import 1 folder at a time then it will take me months. Also I'm not too confident with the Library structure as I don't know if this is a corruption in the Library or another issue. It makes me worried that months down the line when I have all my pictures in aperture I will have to start all over.
Visual of the way I'm trying to organize (Of course there are MANY more projects in each folder):
Canon SD300 (This is a Folder)
Sample Project 1
Sample Project 2
Sample Project 3
Sample Project 4
Canon 20D (This is a folder)
Sample Project 1
Sample Project 2
Sample Project 3
Canon 5D (This is a folder)
Sample Project 1
Sample Project 2
Sample Project 3
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

Hi rwboyer - I just realized that I have read many of your posts on your website regarding organizing your pictures on Aperture, very nice. I have fixed/figured out what was going on....and to tell you the truth I feel kind of stupid I hadn't checked.
ANSWER: In the Projects tab the setting was set to "Recent Projects" as opposed to "All Projects". As soon as I flipped this setting they all magically appeared.
I don't know how Aperture defines "recent" but considering that I imported all at the same time I was not thinking any one project was more recent than another. Oh well it's fixed, I'm happy and very excited to start using Aperture. Thanks again for the response.

Why does dragging an imported video into a project reduce the file size by half?

I used a Canon Vixia HV40 to import 1 hour of HD video filmed using 24F and cina mode. My import and project properties were as follows:widescreen (16x9, 24F, cinema, import size = full, original size.
The specifications for the imported file are as follows/:
Size: 22.12GB
Dimensons: 1920 x 1080
Codec: Apple Intermediate Codec, Linear PCM
Color Profile: HD(1-1-1)
Audio Channels: 2
Total Bit Rate: 47,113
When I drag the imported file into a new project, the resulting .mov file has the following specifications:
Size: 9.67GB (approx half the size)
Dimensions 1920 x 1080 (same)
Codec: H.264, AAC (different)
Color Profile: HS(1-1-1) (same)
Audio Channels: 2 (same)
Total Bit Rate: 20,607 (approx half)
What causes the file size reduction and bit rate reduction? Is it a result of the different codec? Is there any corresponding loss of video quality that results from the conversion?
Thanks for your answers in advance.

Thanks a lot for your quick and detailed response!
Maximum image quality and file size are not the same thing, for a start.
Yes, but with JPG's they tend to be correlated, aren't they?
When you view a photo in iPhoto it's a composite of the original and the decisions recorded, and applied live as you view.
Oh, I always thought iPhoto makes a copy of the orginial and modfies that ...
If you want to use that photo for something then you have to export it. This make a new file with your photo in it. When you export you have a lot of options - including ones that will make the filesize bigger than the original. This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Ah, that is cool. That solves my problem.
If you use drag and drop from the iPhoto Window that's a form of exporting too -but you have no options there. You get the iPhoto Preview. That's a 'handy-good-enough-for-most-things version of the shot. If you want more options use the export command.
That's what I tripped over. (I used the email feature from within iPhoto for a quick sharing ...)
Thanks, G.

Is an 8.7GB file too big to import into iMovie 9?

Is an 8.7GB file too big to import into iMovie 9? I am using iMovie 8.0.6 on a Macbook Pro running OS 10.6.8 on 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB Memory. I can't get my movie file to import into iMovie...any advice would be much appreciated!

When you import into iMovie, your video is converted into DV format. This uses 13 GB per hour of video. So the first thing you have to do is make sure you have 26 GB free on your hard drive, plus another 10GB free for OSX to perform, plus 10GB free if you plan on burning a DVD.
iMovie has non-destructive editing. If you have used any part of a clip and discard the rest, that entire clip is still saved in your project - unused but eating up disc space. If you use no part of a clip and discard the clip, then the clip can go in the trash and you get back disc space. So...
If you import 2 hours of video (26GB) as one clip, and only use 2 minutes, your 2-minute segment retains its 2-hr source in memory. 2 min = 26 GB.
One thing you can do is set the iMovie preferences to automatically create new clips every 3 minutes. (2 hours of 3-min clips = 40 clips.) This allows you to find the 2-minute segment you want and delete all of the unused clips. Say your 2-minute segment comes from 2 of these 3-min clips, so you keep 6 minutes of source footage and delete the rest. Clips that are entirely unused will be completely deleted and give you back disc space. At .65 GB per clip, your 6-minute project is now only 1.3 GB, and you've just regained 24.7 GB of disc space.
