CS3-Trouble with Transferred Trimmed Project

Hello...
New problem; have not been able to find answer.
I need to cut a 20 minute SD video down to 10 minutes to share at a retreat for documentary filmmakers. The last interation of the video was on my editor's machine. Saved a trimmed project without previews to an external drive and then transferred the project to my computer.
The problem is that when I do changes, the renders are glacial. I timed one...2.5 minutes for 50 frames...and there was nothing fancy going on. When I save the project and reopen it, it shows rendering is needed again...some areas required rendering which were not changed.
Premiere seems to handle other projects ok. Crazy making...there is obviously something I do not understand about working with trimmed projects. My editor has a much newer and more powerful computer, but is running CS3 as well. (Running Win7.)
The computer is long in the tooth...but has always been fine in the past...and is fine with other projects. What's up? I know I need a new computer but this one should be able to handle this.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you for that info. Sounds like things should work just fine.
The "lost Renders" often happens when one is using an external HDD to edit to/from, or a networked drive, but this does not seem to be your issue.
When I archive a Project (usually TO and external HDD), I will test that Project, prior to moving on. I have yet to encounter any issues, so long as my Assets are in the Project's folder hierarchy. I have run into issues, with Assets not being gathered, when the Assets are spread about. I encountered this with some SmartSound files, that were in a separate folder, since they were being used in about 22 separate Projects for that client. I learned to Copy those into the Project's folder structure, into Music sub-folders, even if that meant having 22 Copies on my system. That has been the ONLY issue, that I have had with archived Projects, using Project Manager, but do have to admit that other than my initial test, I have not revisited many over the years. Do not have any idea why the Render files are causing an issue, and also why the Projects are slowing down, as they are.
Hope that others will see what I am missing, and will have tips for you.
Good luck,
Hunt

Issues with transferring CS5 project with Adobe Dynamic Links to CS5.5

Hello all!
Has anybody encountered the issue with transferring CS5 projects with Adobe Dynamic Links to CS5.5?
When I try to do it the movie hangs on at some clips which are AE compositions...
The CS5 project works perfectly.
All AE CS5 compositions are transerred to AE CS5.5 compositions.
All 'old' Adobe Dynamic Links in Pr CS5.5 project are changed to 'new' ones (I mean, links to AE CS5 composition changed to links to AE CS5.5 compositions)...
Any help will be appreciated

Tried to play around. Realised that a solution should be somewhere around re-rendering, 'cos linked AE compositions were always displayed in yellow as if they were original footages - even I changed a composition within AE, just transitions, if they were, changed to red in Pr Pro sequence...
However, I was unable to re-render 'Entire Work Area' even after deleting all Render Files, just 'Effects in Work Area'...
Then I simply created a new sequence and copied and pasted all the clips from original sequence. Now I was allowed to 'Render Entire Work Area'.
Voilà!

CS3: Offline Media in Trimmed Project

Typically, I do a rough cut and then take it over to my editor and have him finish it.
When I took the project to him...most of the files were offline; he manually reconnected some and Premiere seemed to "figure out" where the files were and they were all connected.
Now I want to edit the project a bit more. I have a trimmed project from my editor and most of the files are offline. (Lower thirds and titles on online.) Is there a trick I am overlooking? They relink when relinked manually, but I don't want to do that for each clip...
Have done a forum search.

Make sure that the drive letters are fixed. So Z on one PC has to be Z as well on the other PC. You can set that up in Disk Manager.

[JS CS3] Trouble with changeGrep() array

This is strange, or else I'm totally missing something simple:
My script does a GREP search for a text string in a table, and assigns a paragraph style to the string. Next, for each string that was found, I want to merge the cell that contains the string with the two cells directly to the right of the cell. The line
var myFound = mySelection.changeGrep();
does the changing of the text string.
I understand that changeGrep() returns an array, in this case, of insertion points. When I run the script on a table that contains 5 instances of the string that the Grep search is looking for, myFound returns an array of 5 insertion points like I'd expect. Except that if I pause the script and examine the contents of the array, this is what I get:
myFound[0].parent.contents displays the correct (first) text string that was changed
myFound[1].parent.contents isn't correct. It displays the contents of the cell directly to the left of he text string that was changed.
myFound[2] through myFound[4] are also incorrect.
Again, this is examining the array before I do anything to the table such as merging cells, etc.
So, why doesn't the array return the correct insertion points?
Here is the full script function:
function myProcessTable(mySelection) {
// Specify the column width
mySelection.columns.item(0).width = 68;
mySelection.columns.item(1).width = 103.5;
mySelection.columns.item(2).width = 24;
mySelection.columns.item(3).width = 16;
mySelection.columns.item(4).width = 16;
mySelection.columns.item(5).width = 16;
// Find every occurance of ddd.dd/d in the current table, and apply the Table body, cond, center paragraph style,
app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\\d.\\d\\d/\\d";
app.changeGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.itemByID(locateParagraphStyle("Table body, cond, center"));
var myFound = mySelection.changeGrep();
alert ("Search is completed. " + myFound.length + " replacement(s) made.")
// merge the cell with the two cells to the right
for (i=myFound.length-1; i>=0; i--) { // iterate through each found occurance
var myCell = myFound[i].parent;
var myTable = myCell.parent;
var myRow = myCell.parentRow.index;
var myColumn = myCell.parentColumn.index;
myCell.merge(myTable.rows[myRow].cells[myColumn+2]);

Keith,
changeGrep()'s arrays can't be used for anything, so that's where your script runs into trouble -- it's nothing to do with tables. To work around that, use findGrep()'s array.Immediately before this line:
for (i=myFound.length-1; i>=0; i--) { // iterate through each found occurance
add this one:
var myFound = mySelection.findGrep();

iPod (5th generation) running firmware version 1.3
iTunes 11.0.1.12
Microsoft Windows 7 x64 Home Premium Edition (Build 7600)
I have a new computer, I just installed ITunes, then plugged in my IPod. I did FILE, DEVICES, Transfer Purchases from my ipod,
I receive the message "Some of the purchased items on the IPod including (name of songs) could not be transferred to your iTunes library because you
are not authorized for them"
When I choose Authorize, the enter apple id and password is displayed, it has my daughters Apple ID. She no longer uses my new computer, but at one time used
my previous computer. I do not want these songs on my iPod anyway, not sure how our libraries got mixed together.
What should be my next step?
I can only choose transfer purchases, the other options under device, Sync, Backup, restore, are grayed out as selections.

I choose cancel on the authorize the computer (with my daughters id in it).
When I select File, Devices, the only option available is to transfer purchases. The sync, backup and restore options are all grayed out.

Having trouble with saving a project in iMovie!!!

Hi there!
I am currently working on a project in iMovie, titled "Project 1". I want to keep my original Project 1, but edit it and save it again as Project 2. It is extremely important that I have the ORIGINAL PROJECT with all its original cuts and edits as Project 1, but would like all my new edits to be saved as a seperate Project 2, without starting from scratch. I can't find a way to do this and would REALLY appreciate some help!!!
Thank you!!!
Mel

Open the Project Library and select the project.
Hold down the control key and click on the project.
A contextual menu will open.
Click on Duplicate Project.
A new project will appear.
Give it a new name.
Have fun.

Trouble with Red Camera project

Hello again ...
I am trying to edit a project with some very nice Red footage. Resolution of the Red RAW footage is 4,096 x 2,304. The project is a medium complex project, I would say. It has the raw footage, shot on greenscreen, with the following effects and layers:
1. Talent was masked, keyed and color corrected in PPro. I tried to export to AE using a Dynamic link but that was a quick fail. It got hopelessly confused and wouldn't work correctly (it would crash, convert all clips to the first clip, etc.). I love Dynamic Link and use it all the time with our Panasonic 170 footage, but the large size of the Red files seems to cause problems.
So, we got really good at keying in PPro.
2. We then used that sequence as a track in a second sequence, where we dropped in the background and a reflection layer. We also did light wrap using Digieffects Delerium 2 plugin.
Here is a screen capture of a sample frame:
Before I describe the current problem, let me describe my computer:
Intel Core i7 950 @ 3.07 Ghz
24GB RAM
Windows 7 64
System drive is a 4GB SATA drive (not RAID)
Project drive is a 8 x 2 TB SATA tower. RAID 10. Sustained data rate is roughly 225MB/second
NVidia GTX 285 4GB ram
We are running MPE successfully
SO ... what is our problem?
1. Very slow timeline editing. How slow? Well, I have been editing on PCs for 15 years and this is as slow as I have ever seen. If you click to a different part of the timeline it just sits. Half the time it doesn't change the display. Sometimes it does.
2. Dynamic link doesn't work (see above).
3. Previews take roughly 1 hour per 15 seconds of timeline to render. The project is 2 minutes, so that means it takes 8 hours to render previews. At 1/2 quality. Yikes!
4. It will not render in Media Encoder. It crashes after about 6 to 8 minutes.
What am I doing wrong? Is this a known problem? Is this just too much to ask of PPro? Should I first have a professional house transcode the Red RAW down to 1080P?
Thanks!

I'll agree with Jim on this... my system is identical to his, except that I've got a GTX285 instead of the 470 for graphics. I can edit 4K (and even 4.5K) RED RAW files smooth as butter on my system. I do have to keep my playback resolution down at 1/2-1/4 to get smooth playback, but it is definitely smooth at that. I'm not using any of the real big fancy third-party plugins, but I have done a good bit with multiple layers of the three-way CC, Levels, and much more... And I've got several tracks of video with interviews, b-roll, etc, so rather complex timelines. I experience no issues at all with working with RED RAW footage, so I can vouch for the fact that it's not Premiere... sounds like something specific to your system or your workflow.
I would agree with the advice given above to key in AE first and then bring it in to PrPro that way. Sounds to me also like you might have a memory issue--are you running other programs along with PrPro when doing this? Perhaps have a bad stick of RAM in there somewhere?

Having trouble with transfering music in Vista

Never had any of these issues in XP. At first, I thought it had to do with Anapod but I'm experiencing the same on Itunes...
1. The player will disconnect/reconnect in mid transfer slowing down the transfer
2. If I send more than just a couple of files to the ipod, it will lock up the program (either Itunes or Anapod) and forces me to disconnect the ipod while still mounted (or shut down entirely)
3. With Anapod, if it locks up, I will not be able to shutdown my pc properly. I end up having to even refresh the software on the ipod (like reformatting) just to get it working again in Itunes or in Anapod

I've been having this same problem on Vista for a few months now. It appears that only specific songs can't update (i.e. iTunes and iPod freeze on specific songs; however, these songs play back just fine in itunes. As well, when the album artwork is removed, the ID3 tag is changed, the songname is changed, etc. nothing gets better. I get the distinct impression that there is nothing wrong with these songs as they synced perfectly fine when run in XP...as soon as vista was installed, the syncing came to a halt. I've been looking for a solution for so long (I even replaced my iPod) and I feel the only solution now is to wait for a firmware update that somehow resolves this issue (as newer versions of iTunes don't seem to do much about it and the problem persists in Anapod Explorer for me as well, I assume that it is a firmware issue).

Trouble with transfering old songs/videos onto new computer

Not long ago my computer got a virus and I needed to reconfigure it and what not. As I finished, I installed itunes and purchased quite a few videos and songs that are now in my library. My question is, how can I transfer the songs and videos on my ipod into my current itunes library without deleting the purchased items already in my library. So that when im done i will have the same songs on my ipod in my library, so then my ipod will be completely sync'd with the library and i will still have the new purchased items too. Thank you in advance for your feedback and support!

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
iRepo Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Trouble with transferring iTunes from old computer to new computer.

I have tried twice; once using the iPod and once using an external storage hard drive to transfer my music.
The libray comes over but not the playlists. Worst problem is that now the music "skips" as though it was on a old fashioned record player! Yikes, can anyone help? What have I done wrong?

You may/must have had music files stored outside of your iTunes library.
I'd recommend going to the Finder and then via the search box look for files with mp3 aif m4a aac etc. depending on the music format your digital music had. With the list of files shown you should be able to learn which files were stored outside of your music > itunes folder
Chances are they could be burried somewhere under your documents, downloads, desktop, ... we all have different storage and organization habits.
Then when you find the missing files, on the new computer you can do add to library and go to the folder on the other computer where the missing files are - if your systems are networked - or sneak them over using a USB thumb drive or portable hard drive if you have lots of files, or if you like to have an extra backup of that music, copy to optical disc.

Zen micro 6gb trouble with transfering music to the player pls h

I bought on ebay. It's used i download the cd installation. Tried to transfer with media explorer and windows media player, it wont work. The player seems "locked" when ever its connected it wont show the music inside of it, just displays the folders. I cant create, delete, add music whatsoever it keeps saying i/o error folder is exited or removed, and when i try to transfer it says pending for a long time and failed right after. Pls if any can help it would be really appreciated. thx in advance.

Can you flash it with firmware / have you tried that?If a firmware flash works, then try formatting the player. There's plenty of posts about how to do both of these tasks.When that's done, try loading some music. If it still give problems, something serious is wrong. Don't want to sound pesimistic but if it's used and you got it on E-Bay, you could have bought a dud. I've never usedEBay before so forgive me when I ask if you have any sort of comeback - e.g 4 day return period or something. Best of luck

[JS CS3] Trouble with getElements().length

The "ScriptLabel.jsx" tutorial script has this code fragment:
var myPageItems = myPage.pageItems.item("myScriptLabel");
if(myPageItems.getElements().length != 0){
alert("Found " + myPageItems.getElements().length + " page items with the label.");
The script works fine as long as the page contains at least one pageItem with the label "myScriptLabel". However, if there are no labeled pageItems, the script fails because myPageItems.getElements().length is invalid.
I can't figure out how to test for the condition of no pageItems having the label "myScriptLabel" to avoid this error. What am I missing?
Thanks to anyone who can enlighten me!

Wow! It's a long time since I've looked at this, but it appears that you have to do something like this:
myPage = app.documents[0].pages[0];
myPIs = myPage.pageItems.item("myScriptLabel")
if (myPIs != null) {
myPIs = myPIs.getElements();
} else {
alert("Tough luck, there aren't any");
If there are no such items on the page you get null rather than an empty array. If there is just one this still works, but notice I had to use getElements() to get the separate items into an array.
You can use the .item(Name) construction to directly work on all the objects that match, such as:
myPage.textFrames.item("HitMe").contents = "Consider yourself hit.";
