Converting Events for Projects

Hi,
We are interfacing Project accounting information from 2 other systems. We need to create revenue events.
Ideally, we would like to use an event type that a user cannot manually enter, so we thought we would use an event type with a class of Automatic.
However, if you use the PA_EVENT_PUB.create_event api, you are limited to event types whose classification is not in 'AUTOMATIC','REALIZED_GAINS','REALIZED_LOSSES'.
If we try and use the PA_BILLING_PUB.create_event (which requires a little slight of hand), it allows us to create the billing event, however there is no way to provide a value for the PM PRODUCT CODE which would indicate where the data came from.
Can anyone suggest a way around this impass?
We are on 11.5.10 apps, implementing project billing.
Will

Hi,
I am surprised that PA_EVETNS api not supporting Automatic event types. You can use reference1, reference2 parameters in PA_BILLING_PUB api to keep the legacy references. But note that this API is meant for billing extensions not for generic event creations.

Is there a ScriptUI/ExtendScript event for project load?

I have a dockable ScriptUI Panel that I want to load information from a project (I have looked into app.settings, but I think app.settings is for the application itself), but the ScriptUI Panels load before a project is loaded.
Is there a message/event that I can attach to to refresh my information? onLoad perhaps?
Thanks for any insight you may have.

Well the label can only be changed when the VI is idle, so just read the label when the Application.state event is triggered.

How to stop the spinning ball/pizza that is stalling repairs to project on imovie 09? on macosx10.5.8 using iomega and superspeed ext h.d. as storage for the events and projects archive of a wedding video that has had audio sync problems on all share form

How to stop the spinning ball/pizza that is stalling repairs to project on imovie 09? on macosx10.5.8 using iomega and superspeed ext h.d. as storage for the events and projects archive of a wedding video that has had audio sync problems on all share formats (iDVD, mp4, and last of all iTunes). The project label now carries signal with yellow triangled exclamation “i tunes out of date”.
To solve the sync problem I’m following advice and detaching sound from all of the 100 or so short clips. This operation has been stalled by the spinning ball. Shut down restart has not helped.
The Project is mounted from Iomega and superspeed ext hd connected to imovie09 on macosx 10.5.8.
What to do to resume repairs to the audio sync problem and so successfully share for youtube upload?

Has anyone used more than one event for one project?

Hi,
I have an opinion about Final Cut Pro X that hasn't changed since my first few days with it. I waited to see if I would get used to it. But, after a fair amount of time, I still am not comfortable with 'Events' and 'Projects'. The separation of the media and projects creates more problems than solutions with my workflow.
The purpose of it was to add flexibility for both the professionals and consumers using it, but my first impressions are still the same. The new Event and Project system adds complexity to organization and archiving. I wouldn't write this if it wasn't enough of a hindrance for me, that I encounter constantly. I think the new Final Cut Pro X is incredible, but this issue is definitely important to me.
Has anyone out there used more than 1 Event for 1 Project? Some of us create more than 1 Project for an Event, to make different version of a video, or for brainstorming, or to make a part 1 and part 2 of a video, but I've never had more than 1 Event for 1 Project. I don't need to use the media from multiple Events for the same Project. And I've never used it for a reason. I don't think someone will want to use their Hawaii vacation footage for a Denver vacation project, and a Florida vacation project. I think we should bring back the connection between Events and Projects in a meaningful way.
This is a throw back to the older days, but that's not always a bad thing. Let us keep our projects, or timelines, in the Events folder. Make an area above the JPG section, and PNG section, and MOV section, and call it the Projects section. Then we can easily find our Projects and add a new Project every time we need it, and organize our files quickly - without having to keep track of more windows. Final Cut Pro X is all about being more simplified than other video programs, and I think this goes right along with that idea.
Thanks,
- David

My original fear was that FCPX was just going to be iMovie Pro... It so is not!
People use the interface in different ways. I think that's what most of us like about it, it's flexibiity to accommodate different types of workflows. For me, I use the Events browser mostly like I'd be using the Finder. All the imported clips I use are referenced by the hard disks on which they reside. I know where to find them in the Event Browser and I know where to find them in the Finder. I use a lot of stock footage and therefore *reuse* a lot of stock footage from project to project. I'm not going to re-import duplicates into different events because I don't find that the least bit convenient and I do find it a terrible waste of precious HD real estate.
But that's me.
Some people like to load up everything they're going to use in a single project in a single event... I get that. You can command click your way through a bunch of clips, type E and everything is automatically arranged on your storyline in the order you selected the clips. That is *awesome*!! Instant storyline (/timeline.) Furthermore, for those that need to share projects, it's easier to bundle up the events and projects if they're all together (albeit in two different folders) on one disk (— at least they are always at the top level of the drive and easy to find.)
Keeping your Events media in a different location (satellite drives) and keeping your current project on your *fastest* drive is probably the fastest way to edit (particularly if your satellite drives are Firewire or Thunderbolt [peer-to-peer interfaces don't hog system resources].) There is little cross interference in disk accesses that way. So essentially, you can keep FCPX dealing with original clip data that doesn't need to be quite as fast, reading and writing to slower drives on your system, while letting it plow through the heavy work on your fastest access drive (usually your internal HD.)
By no means is FCPX "more simplified". It has a huge amount of power. It has all the best parts of Color, Soundtrack Pro and Motion built in. It allows you to explore *ideas* in real time rather than having to plan for them a week in advance [layout, round-tripping plans to Color, STP and/or Motion for titling or effects.] You can grab and move around elements anywhere on your "palette" with simple mouse moves and an occasional key press. The list goes on. Bottom line, it doesn't matter how you organize your events or your projects. It's all about the finished product. And for me, I can turn that around in about 1/5th the time (not claiming it's great — but I think better results in 20% of the time, on average, than it would have taken in Studio.) [Not a professional video editor -- I'm a graphic designer, and I develop Motion graphics for FCPX to make all "you guys" look better.]

Can you explain in detail what you did?
Do any other shsre destinations complete? If not, do you get the same error message?

3 different names/events for 1 project (fcp1 + 2 etc)

I can't seem to fix this.
I have 3 events in FCPX.
I have 4 events in my FCPX folder:
I have one project: Beginner Basics
In FCPX the Beginner Basics project is linked to the event "Basic" - which I believe is the "Beginner Basic" event in Finder since that file is the largest.
But in Finder it says that it has not been edited since aug. 14 2012. But the other 3 events has changes recently.
When I open FCPX I get this message:
All files in the Beginner Basic project is linked. There are no missing files. But that is because I had to do link them manually, because I was tried to change the "Basic" events name to "Beginner Basics". FCPX crashed during these changes. And only made the changes to the Basic event in Finder and not in the program itself. (I think at least).
I am supposed to do backups and to move the project and event for archiving - but I have no clue which event belongs to the Beginner Basics project.
Heelp?

That the two Events have the same "identifier" (database ID, or UUID) means it was manually copied in the Finder. Big no-no.
The ones that have (fcp 1) and (fcp2) at the ends of the name were created inside FCP X by selecting the original and "Duplicating" it.
I'd have to see detials inside each Event to konw for sure, but here is how I'd fix it. Follow these instructions in the user manual about Merging Events to put them all together in one Event, and avoid the confusion.
http://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/mac/10.0.6/#verc1face68
Next, as for backing up, the duplicated database ID issue must be addressed. Here's an article I wrote, approved by Bombich Software, about how to use Carbon Copy Cloner to do backups properly for FCP X specifically.

Event for Cost Planning modification in Project System ( Cj40)

Hi gurus,
I'm unable to find a way to raise an event for the creation of cost plannning trought the CJ40. I've considered everything i know, from status change to exits/badi. Has anyone got similar requierements? ? I've seen some similar question in SDN, buy they are unaswered.
The only idea I have to create a document change from scratch, but i don't know if it it's possible.
Any suggestions.
Regards,
Jose Rovira Ayza
Barcelona, Spain

I'm not an expert in the CJ40 transaction so there could be actually a standard solution. As far as your question is concerned, I will assume that change documents didn't work for you (transaction SWEC). If that is the case, have you considered implicit enhancement spots? If not, they could be an option. Basically, you find where the cost planning is saved. I'm talking about where the record is actually inserted into the database. It will typically be a function module. At the end of that function module, create an implicit enhancement implimentation. You need to check if the creation was successful and if so, create an event using function module SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT. Just make sure you don't set the commit flag if the system is going to commit after the function module is called.

Specify a custom save location for Project & Event files

Does anyone know how to change the location in which iMovie saves its project and event files?
By default they're saved in ~/Movies but I'd like to be able to "create a project" and choose where I want to save my iMovie Events and iMovie Projects. Any help or suggestions would be extremely helpful.
Morgan

Morgan,
Events and Projects are saved by default in either the iMovie Events folder or the iMoive Project folder inside each users Movie folder.
When you start a new Project, you'll be presented with a dialogue box where you can choose a Project folder an a diiferent drive, but the Project file will still be created in a iMovie Project folder on that drive.
Likewise with Events. You can pick and choose what drive you want them stored on, but they are still going to be in a iMovie Event folder on that drive.
iMovie uses this organiztion in much the same way that iPhoto uses your iPhoto Library.

Opening Balances for Project Costing in R12

Hi All,
What are the Open transactions should be migrated as Opening Balance in Project Costing (R12) for Projects and Tasks. Here at client place cost will come from Inv, PO, AP and OTL to Project costing (R12). Can you please explain in detail (Opening Balances & Historical Cost - How to Migrate)?
Waiting for replies...

Hi
Usually on implementation of Projects, people are migrating total historical costs per project.
Depend on your current system, you may convert the historical data summarized by project, task, expenditure organization and expenditure type. There is an option to summarize costs into the latest period, just before starting the future transactions import into Projects. Otherwise, consider summarizing cost data per period, per quarter or per year.
The summarized data may be loaded as miscellaneous expenditures into Projects.
Be aware that for converted expenditures you should setup a Transaction Source which is costed and accounted.

How can I move my Events and projects to an exterior disc?

When working in FCPX, I have been getting an alert that my (laptop) startup disc is nearly full, and I should delete files to make more space.
How can I move my final cut events and projects to my external drive?
I have already copied the folders Final Cut Pro Events and Final Cut Projects to a LaCie 2T drive, but I hesitate before emptying the trash on my laptop, afraid that FCPX will not be able to see my projects/media.
I am running FCPX 10.0.5 on a MacBook ProRetina with version 10.7.5 OS
Thanks for any help you can give me.

In that version, as I recall, you can simply move the projects and events from one mounted drive to another working from within the FCP UI. Since you've already copied the files, see whether they open. You may need to use the Organize (or Consolidate – can't remember) command if your files are not all within the moved event.

Moving Events and Projects from one location to another on the same hard drive.

Hello.
I've searched in the FCP X User Manual, on this forum and in Google, but have found no explanation of how to do this, so I'm posting this here in hopes that someone in our community will be able to help.
I've previously stored my FCP X Events and Projects folders on an external 3TB hard drive, because there is more room on it than on the internal 1TB hard drive, but, since then, I've worked with other media apps, for video, photography and audio, the files for which are also stored on the external hard drive, and this has created a bit of clutter with no folder structure to keep it tidy.
I like an organised file structure on my system, to keep it uncluttered, easy to navigate and efficient to use, so I put all the files for my photography, video and audio apps into their own folders, which are, in turn, stored in their appropriate folders for Audio, Photography and Video, and those three folders are stored in a folder called Media, and then I directed each app to its own files.
The only app with which this has been a problem is FCP X. While there is a way of relocating projects and events from within FCP X, it allows the user to move them from one hard drive to another, and not, as I want, from one place to another on the same hard drive.
I'm not sure if it matters, but perhaps it's relevant to mention before the next paragraph that the files that had previously been imported as events are, to save hard-drive space, stored in the events folder as shortcuts to the original files, which are stored elsewhere on the drive, rather than as duplicates of those files.
In Finder, I copied the Events and Projects folders to their intended new locations and tried in the app to link the events and projects to their new Finder location. It seemed to have worked, until I moved the original folders to the Trash. On re-opening FCP X, it was clear that the linking hadn't worked. I returned the original folders from the Trash to their original location, but that didn't entirely reverse the problem. I noticed also that, in the original and duplicated Events folders, the shortcuts had lost their links to the original files stored elswehere on the drive.
Fortunately I had run a backup before starting, so I restored the original folders and the app from the backup, and all was back to normal.
I'd be grateful if anyone could advise me on whether or not it's possible to move FCP X events and projects from one place to another on the same hard drive with the app's compliance.
Thank you.
