Can I batch process 92 files?

am trying to convert 92 mov files to ProRes which were shot on canon 7d. Have set up a droplet, and dropped all the files onto it, but it just hangs for ages without the box popping up to allow me to select the multiple processor box.
AIs this too much for it? I have a pretty fast machine Mac Pro 2.26 Quad Core with 12Gb ram.

thanks NLE. I needed it done through the night, so couldn't really do small batches at a time. I ended up downloading MPEG Streamclip which is free, and am only dropping in the footage just now, but it worked brilliantly - processed them all in one go and did it in about 2 hours. I had 51GB of H.264 files to convert to ProRes. Very disappointed that compressor (on my system) couldn't deal with this easier.
I'll be very intrigued to see how the new canon plugin deals with processing these files (when I figure it out!), and the time it takes to process. It appears to me that MPEG Streamclip might be the easiest way to process these clips in future.

  • How can I batch process files to change name and extention in the latest photoshop cc ?

    Hi,
    The batch process function has changed design recently and I cannot get it to change file names in photoshop cc 2014.
    I keep getting new layers in the first file to open instead of a renamed batch.
    I would also like to convert files to jpeg and resize ( at the same time ? )
    thank you for help in advance,
    christos

    Can't help you with CC, but you cannot change files types by merely changing the extension, regardless of program or version.

  • 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.

  • Can't batch process metadata since updating to 3.5

    I used to be able to highlight several images in the Library Grid mode, type in a Metadata Label, and that label would be applied to all of the images. Doesn't work any longer. What am I missing? Doesn't work for Keywords either.

    Okay, that worked. Now, I have never seen nor used that "Show Metadata 
    for Target Photo Only" option. How in the world did it get checked?

  • Can't batch process opening files with certicate encryption

    Using Acrobat 9.0 pro.
    I am unable to batch proces files that are certicate encrypted.
    When batch processed a dialog message appears that reads;
    Cannot open document
    No files were processed
    I have used the instructions that adobe has for using the associated digital id and ensuring this is logged in.
    And also have set preferences for batch processing  security method to certificate security, no password and, password security.
    FYI: I Don't have livecycle so can't try this.
    Can anyone help with a solution for doing this.
    I was able to create certificate encrypted files using batch processing so can't understand why I now can't open and print file created this way, since
    Acrobat help indicates this can be done.
    Adobe instructions indicate this should work??? What's wrong here.
    Thanks in advance

  • How can I batch process 4 diff image sizes from 1 master?

    Hi there
    What I would like to do is create 4 separate image files of varying sizes (large, medium, small & extra small) from one master image. I would need the ability to name each file individually too, ie. picture1_large, picture1_medium etc
    I have a few thousand files to process so ideally a solution that I didnt have to keep checking on would be preferable. I know I can create a batch process for one size but its creating the four diff sizes in a batch which im finding  difficult to work out.
    any help would be much appreciated
    Jim

    Simply drag the entire folder through Bridge—or even individual files—the invisible xmp files containing your adjustments will automatically and invisibly travel along with the image files, as long as you do it within Bridge, not through the OS.
    Otherwise, you would need to set your Mac OS to always make invisible files visible, and you don't want that hassle.
    Just use Bridge to move files around or to copy them to a new folder.

  • Batch processing files

    my question might come a something simple to most of you, but it has stumped me so far.
    i have ~1900 files that i need to run PDF Optimize on and have them set to Low Resolution. i have created a batch process in acrobat to do this, but there is one thing that is holding up this process: i have crop and trim marks on the original files. i need to make these files exactly Letter size and remove the crop and trim marks, but so far, i have not been able to figure out how to remove them.
    unfortunately, i need the originals to keep the crop & trim marks for a client of mine, but the low resolution pdfs need to be page size only. and i really don't feel llike sitting here while indesign runs through another ~1900 files to make low res pdfs; thats just silly.
    so any and all help that you masters of acrobat could help me with would be appreciated. thanks.

  • Can fireworks batch processing work as a background process?

    Hi,m
    I have a simple problem.  Whenever I am batch processing a large number of images (fireworks cs4 windfows 7 64bit) fireworks steals focus every time it starts work on a new image so I can't work on other things while it works.  This is frustrating since I am working on a powerful mulkticore computer and need to crack on while fireworks does its thang.
    Is there a way to tell fireworks to work in the background and stay quiet until I go back to it?
    Jim

    You speak of a problem that exists in CS4 and is fixed in CS5. Unfortunately, there is no easy fix for CS4...
    1) On Windows XP Professional, if you use a tiny app by Microsoft, called "TweakUI", you can set a setting that is called "Prevents applications from stealing focus". Once the setting is active, Fireworks CS4 (and older versions) cannot steal focus in WinXP, no matter what -- including batch processing.
    2) But for Windows 7, there exists no such app, so TweakUI is not an option... You may try a trial of Fireworks CS5 and see if it works better for you; or you can try to find an app, similar to TweakUI, but for Windows 7.
    Hope this helps!

  • How can I batch process CR2 raw files to tif's without losing color adjustments?

    Working in BRidge and Photoshop CS6:
    I have 160 color adjusted hi-res CR2 RAW files from my photographer, thought I was getting tifs. I need tifs for my INdesign file. I tried using the photoshop image proecessor through brige by selecting all my images and then saving as TIFFs but I am losing all my color correcting? Is there a way to save these out as tiffs as a group and not one at a time? I also might have lost my color correcting when I copies them all to one folder as well...not sure what is happening except now my great product shots look like crap. Please help.

  • Batch Processing file limit

    I created a Batch Redaction using Acrobat 9 Pro that I'll need to run on around 9000 folders, each housing 4 or 5 PDFs. I've tried this process using Windows XP and Windows 7.
    The process bombs out and I get a Warnings and Errors window with the message "No files were processes." if I try to run it on more than 200 or so folders.
    Is there something I can do so that I can simply start the process, and have it be able to handle all 9000 folders rather than me having to split them out into smaller chunks and running the process several times?
    Thank you!

    I wouldn't try to run it on more than a few hundred files at a time, then quit and restart Acrobat. You basically have the wrong tool - Acrobat is an interactive tool, and actions are for automating tasks over a handful of files in a normal office environment, not automating months of work. You need an entirely different kind of product to work on thousands of files.
    Appligent (http://www.appligent.com/) have some PDF redaction products (since long before Acrobat did) and one of them is designed for high volume use.

  • How can I batch move files to the same folder structure in a different location?

    Hi,
    I recently had an issue with my iTunes Library so I used the Organize Library feature to have iTunes organise my library.  What happened was that it put all of my music in a folder called 'Music' on my external hard drive, whereas previously it was not in a folder at all, e.g.
    BEFORE: External Hard Drive / Abba / Greatest Hits / Mama Mia.m4a
    AFTER: External Hard Drive / Music / Abba / Greatest Hits / Mama Mia.m4a
    I don't have any particular issue with the updated folder structure, except that I had copies of the artwork for each album in my album folders, and these weren't moved when the audio files were moved/consolidated/organised.  So I need to find a way of moving all of the artwork to the new folders, e.g.
    External Hard Drive / Abba / Greatest Hits / folder.jpg
    needs to become:
    External Hard Drive / Music / Abba / Greatest Hits / folder.jpg
    I have to do this for 3,000+ albums, and I have multiple artwork files for some albums, so I am hoping that there is a way of doing this using a batch/automated method of some kind, but I haven't been able to turn up anything yet.
    Can someone help with this?
    Thanks,
    Nick

  • Problems batch processing files in Illustrator CC2014

    I have a set of actions that I run Batch with that take all of the .eps files in a specific folder and saves .AI & .PDF formats, exports .JPG & .PNG and Saves for Web .GIF files.
    I'm running into two major issues that I can't find any solutions to. I have tried numerous combinations of the Batch settings to try alleviating these problems, but nothing has worked yet.
    When I run the actions with either .AI or .PDF "Save as" actions it works just fine. But, if I run them both I only end up with whichever action is first in the list.
    When I created the .JPG and .PNG "Save as" actions, they worked fine and included the file extension. When I run the Batch operation, the last one in the batch overwrites the first file format because neither have an extension.

    I think you are misunderstanding something here/ not understanding how PDF text embedding works. If PDF files contain embedded fonts, those take precedence over local system fonts. Each font or sub-set of a font (if "only embed used glyphs" is chosen) is assigned a unique identifier number to reference it. Names are only stored based on how the file was created. It is up to the program opening the PDF file to read that info and make sense of it. This may allow to re-create an editable document, but as I already wrote, based on what priorities apply, it may not. The only way to make sure a document remains editable is to attach the source in a separate chunk, which is what Retain Illustrator Editing Capabilities does. The rest is far out and far inbetweeen, as they say...

  • Batch Process File Righrs with Passenger?

    I find myself in an emergency and need to use Passenger to batch create permissions, something I have never done.
    One of my elementary schools had a server crash, I used ditto to copy back all my student user folders to the hard drive but none of their file permissions are correct.
    I am using Passenger version 3.5.4 and have my users folder setup off the root of the Macintosh HD in a folder called Home_Folders. So my directory structure is:
    /Home_Folders/Students/
    I have created a new Permission Set that I have named Students based on the MACOSX default set and edited to fit my directory structure. I have tried both:
    /Home_Folders/Students/<username>
    /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Students/<username>
    And I get the same error messages on both so none of the file rights are changed.
    If anyone is familiar with this function, I would appreciate the help.

    Hi MacWorks,
       I don't have webalizer but I assume from your command that it has no problem with the fact that the logs are gzipped but it simply can't take more than one argument at a time. That kind of situation is one for which xargs was written. Try the following command:
    ls /var/log/httpd/access_log.*.gz | xargs -n 1 ./webalizer -c my.conf
    As you suggested in your post, that has to be run from the directory containing the webalizer executable but xargs will invoke webalizer once for each file which I gather you're saying is all that it can handle.
