Change link to files.

Forgive my poor english.
I have importet my clip to the Event library, but i have not check the mark for "Copy files to Final Cut Event folder" under "Organizing", so i have only a link to the clips on my HD.
After doing a lot of work with my project i want to "change" this. Change from link to files to copy the files til Final Cut Events folder without losing anything in my project. Is it possible and how can i do this.
Thank for all kind off help.
Best regard

Yes, you can do this. Select the Event, and then choose "Organize Event Files" from the "File" menu. That will let you copy the original media directly into the Event Folder.

  • FM9/Win - Changing linked image file?

    I can do what I want to do in InDesign, QuarkXpress, and PageMaker, but for some reason this functionality appears to be absent in FrameMaker, which is utterly dain bramaged.
    I have a placed image in multiple places in a FrameMaker document. The image is placed by reference, not embedded. I now want to link to a different graphic (annual updates).
    Re-placing the image a zillion times is not an option, as the sizing and position is already set. I just want to change what FrameMaker is linking to.
    For the life of me, I cannot find where or even if, I can do this.
    The inelegant solution would be to simply move or rename the currently-linked-to file on the hard drive, and rename the new graphic to the same name as the old one. I do not like that option at all, as there are some instances in other documents that I still wish to link to the old image file.
    Is FrameMaker's link handling really this clumsy and archaic? In the other applications I refer to above, I would either go to a links palette and change the destination or right-click on an image and relink it. In FrameMaker, the "Object Properties" dialog appears to only report the location of the referenced file, not allow you to change it.
    What gives?

    Dan,
    To my knowledge, there is nothing in FrameMaker like there is in InDesign that allows you to relink an image directly, or even indirectly via a link list. I also have looked and not found anything. There is a link menu item somewhere but I have never figured out what it does.
    There is a plugin by Bruce Foster that is used to archive a book or document and its linked image files and text insets. When you run it, the plugin COPIES the book file and ALL the files associated with it into another folder that you specify, and then readjusts all the links among these files to point to the copied files. It puts all graphics files into one subfolder and all text insets into another. So, once you get your book where you want it, with no future changes, run the archive, and then use the files and book in the archive folder to print or do whatever you need to do in the future.
    The downside is that you have two sets of files to manage, but if the archived set is rarely or never edited or updated, then all is well.

  • Changing Linked FrameMaker Document File Path

    I have moved my FrameMaker document to a new directory. Can I update the file path to the document so that the files are updated correctly? I have checked the property settings for the linked project and it appears that I cannot change the file path. Is my only option to link to the file in the new directory and remove the existing project? If so, will that destroy my existing TOC?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately, before posting my question this morning I tried the route you suggested and the result was repeated crashes and error messages. Here is what I did:
    I removed the original linked FrameMaker file.
    I restored the links to point to the new file.
    This resulted in the aforementioned behavior.  I did not try updating the indvidual chapters  - the RoboHelp appplication kept flashing and crashing.
    For the record, I am using the latest version of RoboHelp 8 and FrameMaker 9. They are both part of TCS 1.3.
    I will try the update again and will let you know if it is successful. Thank you again for the suggestions. 

  • Changing links? Multi-file find-and-replace?

    So Dw has some sort of global link change tool, doesn't it? If I want to change "assets/video/banner.gif" to "assets/animation/banner.gif" everywhere it occurs in all of my local files -- how would I do that? Thanks!

  • Updating Linked Excel File: Changing Worksheets

    I have a series of InDesign documents with linked Excel files filled with area-specific rate tables.
    The Excel files contain several different areas separated into worksheets. Each worksheet layout is identical. Only the data in the tables changes.
    I have a template file set up pointing at Excel File A Worksheet 1, and I would like to redirect the link to Excel File A Worksheet 2.
    The problem is that when I ask InDesign to relink, it asks me for the cell coordinates all over again. This ruins my efficiency.
    Is there a way to update only the linked file's worksheet, from Excel File A Worksheet 1 to Excel File A Worksheet 2, without resetting the cell coordinates?

    I've seen this error sporadically and have no clue what causes it. The
    only thing you can do is follow the direction and re-place the file.

  • Shockwave won't play linked Director files from server

    I created a bunch of director files for the course content of my  class. All can be accessed from a contents file. When I created an html  contents file on my desktop (in the same folder as the linked director  files), the contents pages would open in shockwave in my browser (both  Firefox and Safari) and then by clicking on a link other director files  would open and play. However, when all these files were place on our  server (in the same folder), only the contents pages would open and we  get an error message saying the dirctor files cannot be opened. I think  this means it sees them, but can't open them.
    Help!

    Hi Sean
       sorry if my e-mail was a bit whiney, but I got a bit frustrated, 
    having tried to use the Adobe website for help and then trying for 
    help over the phone. Adobe has this nice thing where they will call 
    you back instead of you sitting on hold, which I used at first, but 
    you get called back by a machine, not a person, then you subsequently 
    get a progression of robocalls with nobody on the other end! I 
    finally just sat and waited and got a person, who seemed 
    knowledgeable and nice, but couldn't help me without a payment. So, I 
    would greatly appreciate any help you could provide!
           What I have is this. I constructed a "book" in CD form for my 
    class. This is based on CDs that Mike Coleman and I published a few 
    years ago. A picture of the contents page is shown below. Each topic 
    is in a separate Director file, each with its own casts. We made a 
    lot of animations, some in Flash and some in Quicktime that appear in 
    each topic. I redid everything in Director 11.5, changing text 
    spacing because of the way things get altered when things get played 
    in Shockwave! When I click on one of these subtopics, the 
    corresponding Director file opens. I accomplished linkage this by 
    appending a behavior to the text, "Play Movie X". I then originally 
    made a projector file of the contents page and distributed the CD to 
    my class free (textbook prices are getting out of hand). Now I want 
    to put it on the web, because I'm tired of burning CDs and we're 
    getting students from other locations taking the course on-line. So 
    within the folder on my desktop that held all the Director files, I 
    made a second folder "dswMedia" into which I placed all the 
    animations. I also linked all the animation casts to the Contents 
    Director file. I then constructed a Contents.html file and 
    Contents.dcr file using the Publish commands in Director. When I 
    click on the Contents.html file within my main folder (the one 
    holding all the Director files and the dswMedia file) the page opens 
    nicely in my browser (Firefox) and I can play all the Director movies 
    by clicking on each topic. All the animations play beautifully. 
    Great , I thought, I'm in business. I then took the files to our 
    media guy who put it on the server, in the same form as on my 
    desktop. If we click on the Contents.html file through the web it 
    opens. Clicking on a topic does not open that Director Movie. The 
    error message is not that it can't find the movie, however, but that 
    it can't open it. Everything works just fine on our media guys 
    computer,  we only have a problem when we attempt to use this stuff 
    through the web. (Our web guy's computer does not have Director, so 
    that's not the issue).
          Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
             Regards

  • How to put incremental change in a file to the disk??

    Hi,
    I am having my own simple file editor. Now even if I make a small change in a file and want to save those changes I have to write the whole content again.
    I mean it's similar like writing a fresh file.
    Is there a way through which I should write only the incremental changes to the file rather than writing the whole thing .
    Imp: can anyone provide me some good link or material related to NIO for better understanding.
    Thanks,
    Param.

    If the file contains lines* that are all the same length (which can be accomplished by padding each line with the appropriate number of spaces) then you can use an indexed access method, as described by the RandomAccessFile API here:
    http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/io/RandomAccessFile.html
    * You can have all of the data - that is, the entire file - in a single line, if you want; it's not necessary to create multiple lines. In this case you would use a read method after positioning, rather than a readline method.

  • Font colors missing from linked ai files (cs4)

    so i have an indesign document with a bunch linked AI files all of which have the same fonts in the same colors (white and light yellow) over the same color backgrounds.
    earlier this week i printed without a problem. since then i've added a few notes here and there and i printed again and now most of the white text doens't show up on the print, some shows up barely, and some looks embossed into the background color. the yellow text printed purple. if i outline the text it prints fine.
    the text that weent wrong, i didn't change from before when it printed fine. my coworker had also printed a copy from a pdf i made from indesign with the same results.
    can anyone help?
    this is on indesign cs4 with linked ai cs4 files on mac os x lion.

    If the yellow text printed purple then perhaps the yellow text has been set to overprint.
    Similarly - it seems like the text for the white has been set to overprint.

  • How rebuild path links from files in InDesign cs6

    I work with Indesign cs6, in a workgroup with synchronized files at my HD, from a virtual disk (cloud), and bacause of this, the path linked files got the computer name (ex.: computer1/folderx/file.indd).
    How many people edit the same file, many times the path do not is update when the file is opened at other computer. There is any way to change the path files in a easy way (manually)? Or make the Indesign search for files with broken links automatically from a new "root" or main folder in computer?

    This feature does not exist in InDesign. You're best hope is that you have a backup of the previous file. Moving forward, you might want to try a free product called Radish that allows you to save versions and revert back to previous versions when needed. Here's a blog post I wrote about the product Story Versioning in InCopy | InCopySecrets.

  • InDesign CS6 Linked Word file issue

    Hi, I have a number of 100+ page InDesign files which have a large (linked) Word file that threads though multiple text boxes throughout all of the document pages.
    The files need to be shared amongst multiple computers within our studio. This setup was used with InDesign CS5.5 last year and worked fine, it was still working fine with CS5.5 this year but we needed to upgrade to CS6.
    We have the trial version of CS6 installed throughout the studio now however we have been having big problems just opening the InDesign files up in CS6. They predominantly seemed to only open up 95% of the way and then hang (spinning wheel) and when (on occasion) we did get 1 open, it was clearly struggling and normally crashed. Can't get most open at all any more.
    I have tried opening files on different computers (Mac & PC), tried changing format of linked Word file, the only thing that seemed to ever work was breaking the link to the Word file
    (from within CS6) and then saving without Word file linked. This is not ideal for our workflow but even if we wanted to do this to all files, I am unable to even get in to some of them to unlink them now (as they are now all saved as CS6 files which won't open). Moving Word doc from location (so that InDesign can't pick it up) also doesn't work.
    I have tried deleting InDesign preferences & all recovery files several times, still no joy. It may be related to being on the trial version (seeing as 5.5 still seems fine) but I am hesitant to upgrade everything if it is not going to work. Does anyone have any ideas??

    Thanks Peter (and Bob), thought last solution was going to be a winner but still hangs at same point (on several files) unfortunately.
    Strangely, an older version of one of the files (a CS6 one that is linked to the same Word file) just opened, which suggests to me that the issue may not actually be wholly to do with it linking to the Word file.
    We just setup a brand new PC with just CS6 trial & Office on it, copied InDesign files to desktop, turned off the auto link boxes in preferences and still no luck. Getting close to giving up stage I think, just can't figure out the cause.

  • "Placing" linked PDF File in Illustrator for Markup Edits?

    When I highlight text in a PDF file that is linked to an Illustrator file (PDF is "Placed" in the Illustrator file as a linked object), text highlights in the PDF file do not show up in Illustrator when I update the link.  Does anybody know why, or is there some setting or workaround to force the PDF markups to show up in Illustrator?
    Reason for Question
    I often use Illustrator as a PDF editor because it is much more flexible than Acrobat's clunky editing tools.  There are some significant problems however.  If you open a PDF page in Illustrator, you lose some stuff like paragraph formatting, which Illustrator wants to left justify (same problem when opening an AutoCAD file in Illustrator).  You can also have trouble with missing fonts like Helvetica, which isn't a default system font because it is licensed and expensive.  Illustrator will swap the missing font out with a substitute so it can edit the text.  (Acrobat will do the same thing if you try to edit a font that isn't loaded in your system).
    A workaround to maintain exact registration if I just want to mark up a PDF file (rather than changing the text) is to "Place" the PDF file in Illustrator.  When Placed, the file behaves like an object the isn't editable in Illustrator (you can edit a Placed object from Illustrator, but Illustrator will use the authoring application to do the edits, in this case, Acrobat).  I you are interested doing the same thing,... when I use Illustrator to mark up another file like PSD, JPG or PDF, I initially open the file in Illustrator to capture the dimensions, and then delete everything, and then "Place" the file back into Illustrator.  You can optionally link or embed the Placed object.  After Placing, I use the transform tool to move the Placed Object's upper left corner to 0,0 (XY Coordinates) to acquire registration, lock the layer, and do my markups on separate layers.
    This procedure is a bit clunky and requires multiple construction files but Illustrator's vector tools are much better than the most of the markup tools (but not all) in Photoshop or Acrobat.  A Photoshop file will link to Illustrator, and you can export it back to Photoshop, but the Illustrator construction file will not be "linked" into Photoshop, so if you need to make changes with Illustrator you have a couple of options.  You can open the Illustrator smart object from Photoshop (Photoshop will launch Illustrator to do the edits), or you can delete the smart object and work on the Illustrator construction file directly and re-import.
    Since you can't select the text of a Placed PDF file object in Illustrator to highlight text, I'd like to do some of the text highlighting in the linked Acrobat file upstream of Illustrator.  I should be able to bounce back and forth with both files open, the Illustrator construction file and the linked PDF file.  Problem is that when I add a highlight to the PDF file, it does not show up in the Illustrator placed object that is linked to the PDF file.
    So back to my original question.  Does anybody know why PDF text highlights do not show up in Illustrator when the PDF file is placed as an object in Illustrator?  Is there a workaround to force the PDF text highlights to display in Illustrator?
    FYI, I working on a business presentation and need to mark up a few pages of IRS publication 463, which is a 58 page PDF document with a bunch of "destination" links (10 to 20 links per page).  I can extract a page, do my markup edits, and then "replace" the page back into the original Acrobat file and all the links and bookmarks will still work, but registration is critical.
    I'm using CS6
    Thanks in advance for your insight.

    Mylenium, Thank you for your on-point explanation of why the markups don't import into Illustrator.  Based on your input, I did some digging and discovered:
    I can export the Acrobat "Comments" (text highlights, but not markups?) to a FDF file
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS40A4853E-0D48-46a6-8AB6-6B9A27A22D83.html
    and then optionally re-import them to another PDF, including a blank document (with the same dimensions to maintain registration) or the final output file.  I can then open the PDF (that contains the comments only) using Photoshop and save as a PSD file.  Photoshop captures the text highlight color graphic without the white background or text so I am able to achieve transparency.  I can then "Place" the Photoshop file as an object on its own layer in the Illustrator construction file as either an embed object or a linked object, but I tend to link for a number of workflow reasons.
    Quite clunky, but it seems to maintain exact registration (although for some reason, whenever I place an object in either Illustrator or Photoshop I need to move (transform) the object corner to 0,0 because it is typically off by a pixel or 2).  Not sure if there is a way to also export PDF "Markups", but my objective was to use Acrobat's highlighting tools combined with Illustrator's vector graphic tools for markups, so even if I can only export the Acrobat text highlights and not the "Markups", I can still achieve my objective.
    From a work flow perspective, I may optionally choose to use the text highlights only as a reference in the Illustrator construction file and turn them off when saving back to PDF.  I would then import the text highlights (FDF file) into the final PDF so they are actual Acrobat highlights rather than raster objects, but I do have the option.
    I have also noted that I can print an Acrobat file to PDF to capture the text highlights, but that method introduces problems with registration and transparency (the white paper background).  I'll often print my final output to PDF rather than saving to achieve a small flat file that will render consistently on different computers, but in this case registration is important so it is better to save to PDF and live with the larger files size.
    Why all the fuss?  Acrobat is good at highlighting text and Illustrator is good at drawing stuff like curvy paths with variable strokes.  Illustrator also has layers and stacking order control.  (Acrobat has clunky wannabe layers that are good for limited stuff like multiple versions, but not much help with graphic composition or stacking order).  I need workflows that can merge tools from multiple programs (Acrobat, Photoshop, Illustrator, Autocad, and Solidworks).  I could do my vector markups in Illustrator, then save to PDF and do the highlights in the final Acrobat file, but if I need to change the vector graphics later I would lose the highlights.  Doing the highlights in a separate PDF file and then exporting to a FDF file lets me make changes in Illustrator without having to recreate the highlights from scratch.
    Thank you for your assistance.  If you have any additional suggestions I am always striving to improve my workflows.  btw, I've experimented with some of the 3rd party PDF editor's, but not the expensive ones (less than a few hundred dollars).  Most of them do a few things better than Acrobat, but they all have their shortcomings and I'm leery of investing my time in applications that might be obsolete in few years.  Perhaps this discussion is better suited to the Acrobat Forum, but I do a lot of PDF editing with Illustrator despite its limitations.

  • Changing link in mail to customised text

    Hi everyone,
      I would like to change the link in the Subscription mail to something, so that it is more easily understandable to the user. I saw here on SDN that it involves changing the xml,xsl files for susbscription. I saw the files also. But where exactly do I have to change in the file and how to go by it.
    for eg,    if the link is as follows
    <b>/room_extensions
    /cm_stores/documents/workspaces
    /31fa121c-5bcd-2810-cda8-87debce7ff66</b>
    I would like to replace this with customised text like maybe room name.
    Hope somebody can help me on this.Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Vineeth

    Rather than using xsl constructs for checking occurance ,
    could you tell me if I go by the below method , would it be possible to remove the
    link completely
    for eg, if this is a line from my Subscription_en.xml
    <i><textspan isCollection="false" pEventid="rename"><resourcename/> in folder <parentlink/> renamed as <newresourcelink/>. (<detailslink>Details</detailslink>)</textspan></i>
    So if I just delete all occurances of <parentlink/> in this file will the path stop getting displayed completely?Then the above stmt would be this.
    <i><textspan isCollection="false" pEventid="rename"><resourcename/> renamed as <newresourcelink/>. (<detailslink>Details</detailslink>)</textspan></i>
    Is this fine.Can I go by this ? Then what further change will be involved in the xsl.
    Or Is it enough to change only the xml ?
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
