Combining multiple projects into one larger project?

If I have multiple separate projects and now want to combine them, edits, titles and all into a larger project, is it possible? I expected that it might be possible to drag one project into another and place it intact onto the timeline for the new project. Since every combination of dragging a project around has evidently failed to accomplish what I'm expecting... is there a way to do this?

welcome phiphika to the  board…
in terms of convenience, I would indeed export/share all 6 movies.
to tape, or as Quicktime/FullQuality…
both methods create a lossless copy of your final movie(s).
in step II, import all 6 project into a new iM project, as said above, you don't loose ay quality with that back'n forth copying... only some time ;-)… you can set then chapter markers etc....
besides, your workflow is as mine on larger projects: not 678 clips into one monstrous project of some dozends Gigabytes, just segments…

Combining many small projects into one large project/executable - avoid VI conflicts

I have multiple small projects that have been done, and oru customer now wants them combined into a single executable, where you'd select which program you want to run and have it be launched. My initial thought was no big deal, create a new VI on which the user selects which program to run, and I just call that main.vi for whichever particular program they selected.
But wait, not so fast.
As soon as the particular smaller programs' main VIs are placed on a block diagram of a VI in this master project, all their dependencies are loaded into the project. Well, a lot of these smaller projects have typedefs with the same name, or even classes with the same name because they were all developed separately. It could be a mess and very time consuming to resolve all these conflicts right now.
I was thinking of doing something "plugin-like" where I include the smaller main VIs in the install, in some folder on disk, and they get called dynamically. Would this work? I have never tried it. Is there a better way?
There is also the idea of shipping multiple executables, and my "master program" calls a particular one using a command line prompt to run the exe.
Thoughts and suggestions appreciated.

Another option which should be simple in theory is setting up each project to build its VI as a packed library instead of an EXE. That way, all the VIs it calls should be fully namespaced and included and you can statically call the main VI in each packed library in your master project.
I have no practical experience with this, but it will mean that single EXE will now have to load copies of all the shared VIs.
Hm, this may work. I think I will take the exe approach for now and can adjust as necessary. Either way it's no different for the programmer, they still have to do two builds if a VI changes (the small project, then the main one). The separate exe's also solve the issue of config files which may or may not have the same names I can't remember. This way they are all in their own data directories instead of one top level data directory which could cause issues post-install.

Combine two iMovie projects into one iDVD project?

Could someone help me figure out the best way to combine two iMovie (HD 5) projects into one iDVD project? I currently have a documentary with one iMovie project at 1 hour exactly. I am starting a second one and would like all this to go on one DVD eventually. I am especially concerned about what happens with the chapter markers already created in each iMovie project - how is that combined when the two are put together? If there is a link for this info, I'd be happy to read that as well.
Thank you!

I would combine them by saving each completed imovie (without chapter markers) as a full quality QuickTime movie.
Then start a completely new imovie project and import each of those in to make make one large imovie. (But remember, your DVD will only hold about 120 minutes of footage and that doesn't count the themes).
That's when I would add the chapter markers.
BTW-it's going to take up a lot of disk space to save the movie s and to burn the DVD.

How do you import multiple iMovie projects into one iDVD project?

Hi.
I'm 17, and am trying to create a DVD of when the family went on a cruise. For different places/days, I've created different iMovie projects.
But, when I want to export to iDVD, it only lets me put one iMovie project into one iDVD project?
I've tried dragging the actual iMovie project files into iDVD but that doesn't work.
I know I could export to QuickTime and then drag it into iDVD, but it seems exporting just to iDVD is much quicker, and the quality is better.
Anyone know how I can do this?
cheers
+P.S. If it helps, it's iMovie '11 with iDVD '09.+

That is not true. You can use them all in one DVD. I have just created my first DVD which has a trailer, a movie with chapters and several different slide shows.
All you have to do is save each project to Media Browser. (Choose Share in toolbar). Open iDVD and choose your theme or no theme. On the right will be all your options such as audio, media photo's etc. Choose your various video's/projects etc and just drag and drop which ones you want to the page and they will automatically put themselves there with the given name of each video/project.

How do I turn off automatic bookmark creation when combining multiple PDFs into one?

When I combine multiple PDFs into one, I need Adobe to use the CUSTOM bookmarks I created in the original PDFs. I do NOT want the additional PDF name as a bookmark in this instance. Is there a way to turn this option OFF in Acrobat Professional? I have version 9.

You can not automatically turn off this action nor can you remove the 'file_name.pdf' heading, but you could add a button or menuitem to remove the 'file_name.pdf' from the bookamarks. Yes, it is one more step to perform when combining PDFs, but is you want until you have all of the PDFs combined you only need do it once.
Removing filename bookmarks created by Acrobat by Sean Stewart
From the above article:
"With the release of Acrobat 6 came the ability to create a composite (binder) document from multiple files, (i.e. File > Create PDF > From Multiple Files.) When this is done, Acrobat automatically inserts a new top level bookmark at the start of each new file. The bookmark title will correspond to the source filename of the source file. While this level of separation can be helpful, it is counterproductive when the user wants the bookmark tree in the merged document to be continuous.
"Here's a sample JavaScript to remove the top level bookmarks from the bookmark tree. This script will look for a ".pdf" extension to decide whether to remove the bookmark."
With some additional coding you can add menu item or toolbar button.

Combine multiple drawings into ONE SHEET

Hello, this is a question on Acrobat Pro, ver 8, using Windows XP. I guess I understand how to combine multiple files into a single PDF-file. However, this morning I happened to see the option mentioned in the subject line. When you go to "Combine files" > "Getting started with combined files" and select "CAD drawings" the description reads: "Combine multiple drawings into one sheet that's easy to navigate and print". How can this be done? I need to combine 8 ea CAD drawings (already converted to PDF) into ONE SHEET for printing without having the need taping 8 pieces of paper together. Arranging the drawing within the CAD application is not an option because the files were delivered by a 3rd party company and they only deliver PDFs

Hi Priya,
You can do this by merging the requets.
   1. goto Se10 and right click on the request and seelct merge requests.
   2. It will ask you from request and to request. Give the request names.
   3. After merging first request contents will be added to second request and
       first request will be deleted.
Like that you can merge 3 requests to one request.
Let me know if you want more info.
Thanks & Regards,
Siri.

How do i convert multiple tracks into one large mp3?

how do i convert multiple tracks into one large mp3?

Hi,
You can use an app such as Audacity or Join Together to create one larger file. If AAC file used instead of mp3, you could use GarageBand.
If you have the original CD, you can join the tracks whilst re importing disc.

Combine multiple jars into one product jar

Hi everybody,
I use multiple third party jar APIs in my applet project. When I built the project, I get one product jar and the other jars in LIB folder. I am wanna produce only one jar including other jars inside. I use netbeans.
Shortly How can I combine all jars into one jar ?
Thanks...

woaw, Got it: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/javase/single-jar-141905.html
Other jars were signed jars in project. Now, I got only only one jar and unsigned.
If I sign this unique jar, will I see a problem ?

Combining multiple tabs into one long web page

Lets say you have 12 tabs open. Can the html from each tab be combined into one flowing page kind of like Autopager does for repeating pages? Linky can grab the links of one tab at a time, but you have to repeat the process for the other 11 tabs. It would be cool to force all 12 tabs into one flowing/continuous tab, then Linky could read basically all 12 tabs at a time since they are really all in one new tab.

More than one iMovie project into one iDVD project??

Hi,
I am editing several iMovie projects which I had intended to put on one DVD using iDVD.
Can I use iMovie to share several projects to one iDVD project or should I use iDVD to import several (completed) iMovie projects to the one iDVD project?
Can I even have more than one project on in an iDVD project?
I am currently importing a large video file to iMovie so iMovie is inaccessible.
My iMovie projects are video only (no menus, etc. until I import to iDVD).
Cheers

Well, it is recommended that you use the 'Best Performance' default setting from iDVD's Preferences for movies under 60 minutes to get the best quality.
If you want to put 60-120 minutes on one DVD, you have to select either 'High Quality' or 'Professional Quality' Both will give good results; PQ will take a bit longer to do and is supposed to be higher quality.
I usually make movies just under 2 hours, and I always use PQ. I am pleased with the quality of my movies on DVD disks. However, you should know that I am using iMovie 6 and not any hi-def videos (yet ).
David Pogue explained the process of 'Best Performance' and 'Best Quality' (what the option was before HQ and PQ) like this:
Best Performance option allots "+a fixed, predetermined amount of data to each frame of video...no matter how many minutes of video...A lot of the DVD might wind up being empty--if...the project contains less than an hour of video. But the process will go quickly, and the video will look really great+."
Best Quality option uses "+every micron of space on this blank DVD+" because it analyzes "+the amount of video...included+," and divides "+it into the amount of space available on the DVD. The amount of information used to describe an individual frame of video will vary from project to project, and it will take...a lot longer to burn the DVD because+" of "+so much analysis. But at least+" you "+will get two hours of great-looking video per disc.+"
If your videos are short, you might want to try all the encoding options and see which gives you the best quality.

How can I combine multiple pdfs into one document?

I need to consolidate multiple docs into one. How do I do that?

It's pretty easy. Open multiple PDF documents in Apple Preview that came with your Mac. Choose View/Thumbnails so you can see the page thumbnail icons. Select any number (or all) of the page thumbnail icons of one document and drag them to any point in the thumbnails of another document.
For example you can drag page 6 of one PDF between pages 40 and 41 of another PDF doc. But it sounds like you want to select all pages of one PDF and drag them to the end of another PDF doc.
If you need more powerful document combining you can use PDFpen or Adobe Acrobat Professional, but they cost money.

When combine multiple PDFs into one, some letters are missing and display wrong letter

Hi all. I get a problem with combine multiple PDFs into a single PDF document. There are some PDF documents and they are working fine to open each document separately. But after I use Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard to combine them into one, some letters are missing and some display wrong letter (e.g. "forums" display "fo ums"). Our company has Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard, Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional and Standard. But all of them have some problem. Does anyone have idea for that? Please help me! Thanks very much!

I have a similar situation, but my PDFs look fine in Acrobat Pro 8,Acrobat Reader 8, and Apple preview, but are missing letters in Acrobat Pro 7. I think it stems from the files being combined all having the same font, but each having a unique subset stored in the respective files, but with the same name (and ID?), and when they are combined, the character sets are getting hosed somehow.

Copying Multiple Arrays into One Large Array

I'm currently trying to copy multiple character arrays into one larger character array in a method that prints data gathered from a database. Here is my code:
private static void printData(String[] data){
        try {
            int totalLengthOfAllStrings = 0;
            for(int i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
                data[i] += '\n';
                totalLengthOfAllStrings += data.length();
int runningLength = 0;
char[] printArray = new char[totalLengthOfAllStrings];
for(int j = 0; j < data.length; j++) {
char[] tempArray = data[j].toCharArray();
runningLength += tempArray.length;
System.arraycopy(tempArray, 0, printArray, runningLength - 1, tempArray.length);
DocFlavor df = DocFlavor.CHAR_ARRAY.TEXT_PLAIN;
Doc printDoc = new SimpleDoc(printArray, df, null);
PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
aset.add(new Copies(1));
aset.add(MediaSize.NA.LETTER);
aset.add(Sides.DUPLEX);
PrintService[] services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(df, aset);
if (services.length > 0) {
DocPrintJob job = services[0].createPrintJob();
try {
job.print(printDoc, aset);
System.out.println("Print successful!");
catch (PrintException pe) {
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
I keep getting an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException and for the life of me I can't figure out why.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks!
-Matt

I think your problem lies with the second for loop:
for(int j = 0; j < data.length; j++) {
    char[] tempArray = data[j].toCharArray();
    runningLength += tempArray.length;
    System.arraycopy(tempArray, 0, printArray, runningLength - 1, tempArray.length);
}If I am not wrong, you should swap the sequence of the runningLength and System.arraycopy statements, and also move the minus 1 from arraycopy statement to the runningLength statement. The result would look like this:
for(int j = 0; j < data.length; j++) {
    char[] tempArray = data[j].toCharArray();
    System.arraycopy(tempArray, 0, printArray, runningLength, tempArray.length);    // swapped and removed the -1
    runningLength += tempArray.length - 1;    // swapped and appended the -1
}The main reason for these changes is because when j == data.length - 1, the value of runningLength would have already exceeded the size of printArray. Therefore, swapping the position would be able to overcome this problem.
