Difference in AE file Imported into PPro with MPE in Hardware vs. Software Mode

I am getting an undesireable result when importing AE files into a PPro Sequence with MPE in hardware mode. The top (or left) pic is accurate, with MPE in Software mode (nice soft glow). In the bottom pic, MPE is in Hardware mode. Note the undesireable (and inaccurate) harder glow. These AE files are output in an uncompressed AVI with alpha channel. The pics below were imported into PPro with the AE file placed over a black clip in PPro (Video Layer 1=Black. Video Layer 2= AE text w/Alpha). Any thoughts, or better yet, solutions?!

   Jim, so you're suggesting that I create my graphics in PPro instead of AE? That's not going to work! I must be one of the few people out there that output AE files with an alpha channel and import them into PPro, for I can't imagine Adobe not addressing this if many people were using AE & PPro together in this fashion. I guess I'm stuck having to continue to use MPE in software mode only (alpha channels work perfectly in this mode, but I have to do a lot of rendering.). I used to blame Matrox for this problem. Sure glad I haven't upgraded to a Titan!
   BTW, I get the same undesireable results in MPE Hardware Mode when using Dynamic Linked Comps to AE.
   One last question: does the quality of the video card make any difference with this alpha channel problem I'm having with MPE? I'd buy a Titan card right now if that would solve my problem!

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

If I understand you correctly, when you enter a date in the Adjust Date and Time window, the picture does not update with the date you enter. If that is the case then something is wrong with iPhoto or your perhaps your library.
How large a date change are you putting in? iPhoto currently has an issue with date changes beyond about 60 years at a time. If the difference between the current date on the image and the date you are entering is beyond that range that may explain why this is not working.
If that is not the case:
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: to get to the "home > library" hold down option on the keyboard and click on "Go" > "Library" while in the Finder.
Let me know the results.

I am having problems using mov files imported into a project. I get the message "Not rendered" in the Canvas and clip won't play. Can anyone help?

I am having problems using mov files imported into a project. I get the message "Not rendered" in the Canvas and clip won't play. Can anyone help?

When clips won't play without rendering in the Timeline, it usually means that the clip's specs don't match the Sequence settings.
A .mov file could be made from any number of codecs; the QuickTime Movie designation is merely a container for video files of all kinds. Since FCE only works with the QuickTime DV codec and the Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) natively, if your mov files aren't one of those two, you need to convert them PRIOR to importing into your FCE project.

I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

First-off, this seems to be a general problem with 10.4 (across all the operating systems of which I am aware). Unfortunately, I cannot provide a permanent solution but, if you need a quick fix, this will (hopefully) work for you.
For some inexplicable reason, iTunes no longer recognises standard Windows paths. For example:
Y:\Music\Buddy Holly\Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
The end result is that it will import a playlist with no content.
It will, however, recognise the equivalent Apple paths which look like this:
file://localhost/Y:/Buddy Holly/Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
It is possible to convert your existing playlists using a few basic replace commands in something like Notepad. In my case, I made some code changes in my music manager and now generate two sets of playslists (one standard and one to accommodate iTunes).
Forgive me foir stating the obvious but please remember to make sure that the disk / path containing your music is accessible when doing the import otherwise you will probably get a blank result. Note that you can do a bulk import by selecting all the (revised) playlists and dragging them onto the iTunes sidebar.
I am sorry that this is not a "clean" solution but it will work if you are in a bind. The only alternative of which I am aware is to wait for Apple to fix the problem.

Anyone know how I can get an audio file imported into my iTunes' podcast directory, rather than the music directory?

Anyone know how I can get an audio file imported into my iTunes' podcast directory, rather than the music directory?
I downloaded a series of podcasts recently. They were imported into my "music" directory instead, making it more difficult for me to recall where I left off with the last podcast I listened to before having to stop it for whatever reason. Thanks in advance for any help.

You can do it, though the result isn't ideal. Import your episode, then select it in the Music list and hit command-i to bring up the info panel:
However each episode you do this with will turn up as a 'podcast' with no name - and it doesn't seem possible to give it one - containing the one episode:

Where are you importing from – a camera or computer? If you are optimizing at import, make sure the background processes are completed. (Command-9)

Why won't new files import into LR 3.6?

So, there are a couple of new .TIFs that I want to import into an existing LR folder. Under Import the window shows both of those new files, each checked, as the only ones not already in the LR library. So I click on import and one of three things happens: (1) they immediately import, (2) the window goes blank forever except for a message that there's nothing to import, (3) the window goes blank forever with a message "Import in progress...". This is infuriating, expecially since there appears to be no way to escape from this infinite import loop. Note: the newly named files open perfectly in PhotoShop when it is invoked outside of LR. What is LR seeing that PS is not seeing, and how do I correct this bug? Or at least make an orderly retreat from the infinite loop?

Why won't some .gif files import into Adobe Premiere 11?

Hello! New to Premiere here.
I'm working on a project which involves processing roughly 200 animated .gifs taken from the internet. Many of them will import nicely into Adobe Premiere 11.
The problem is that not all of them will do this. Many of them will give the following message and freeze the entire import process.
This seems like a strange error message to get because
a) It seems to say here that the .gif format IS supported
b) There don't seem to be any codecs for this 11.
The gif that produced that error message is below:
What especially frustrates me is that a gif with similar resolution and size will import, but the one above will not. Below is an example of a gif that will import into Adobe Premiere 11:
Is there an explanation for why this is the case? I have looked up this issue extensively on the internet, and every other person with this issue seems either to be stumped or find a solution for a much older version such as Premiere 8.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

I'm happy to announce to you all that my "mp4 importing" issues has been sorted out. Now I import mp4 shot with the same Windows Phone 8 Device into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Only that for the moment, it doesn't play as fast as with ordinary player.
But how did I get it to work, you may wonder;
I simply installed Itunes on the system, I also installed an app called media monkey. I can't say which of the apps did the magic but the next time I tried to import mp4 files into Premiere Pro after these installations, it imported seamlessly.
Obviously there's a link between the required codecs and the itunes itself.
You may want to try it and hope it works for you.
Kindly inform us if it works.
Thank you all.
Cheers.

ISO/UIF files imported into PP CS3

I'm making .uif backups of discs to host on my server at work so that I do not have to keep using the actual discs (Digital Juice).
I tried to use MagicDisc to make an ISO but got an error, and used .uif extension instead which seems like a better alternative anyway.
Once the .uif file is complete, when trying to import into Adobe I see that it tries to import the disc as a whole. How would I go about importing individual tracks? I'm not sure the ISO or .uif has anything to do with it but that's where I'm at so far with this first attempt.
Thank you for the guidance!

Thank you for the response so far. You've helped me in regards to at least getting files like my music on the server without needing ISOs. The problem still lies in how to get the DVD's copied to the server. These, as you know, come in an assortment of folders and files and can be quite cumbersome especially for my students who likely wont know where to go to find anything. These DVD's contain things like moving backgrounds, graphics, etc.
The biggest issue is that every time the students want to render a file, they need the disc. There is one disc per catalog and it is hard to share. The ISO files would essentially be the disc sitting on the server for all students to either copy to their flash or use right from the server. This would allow multiple uses of the disc at once and also prevent discs being lost or scratched while also speeding up the whole process.
My issue right now is that my school laptop FREAKS OUT when I add a phantom DVD/CD ROM drive via MagicDisc. It literally locks up because it's looking for a drive that doesn't exist.
Anyway, I guess I will make the ISO's for the DVD's at home and bring them in on a flash to copy to the server. This isn't really and Adobe problem anymore as they will be using the discs to load into the Digital Juice Juicer software to render the files to use in PP.
Thanks for the help. I'd still appreciate any feedback as you've all been very helpful thus far!

Pitch lowers on WAV files imported into Logic.

I'm working on a remix project for a friend, and every time I import a WAV file into Logic, the pitch lowers by about 10 percent. I checked the actual WAV itself by playing it through quicktime and itunes, and it's fine. It's only once I import it into Logic that I have issues. An ideas? ThankS!

Hi,
guess the imported Files are sampled with 48 kHz, while you are trying to import into a 44.1 kHz Project. Set the project sample rate to 48 kHz or convert the files down to 44.1 before importing

Can't complete .dsv file import into Address Book

Hi folks, this is driving me insane (and has been for months off and on!)
I exported all my contacts from Entourage and want to import them into Address Book.
The file is a .dsv file. I select File>import>text file and locate the file.
I then check each field to make sure the information on the right corresponds to the field title on the left.
I can click the forward arrow at the bottom and I can click the OK button - but it doesn't seem to do ANYTHING!
I can see the cards individually as I click the right arrow button. I've even tried clicking through and hitting OK on each one individually but when I get to my final contact, nothing happens.
I have wasted so many hours on this. Can someone please help me complete the import of this CSV file (Help is worse than useless on this subject!)
Many many thanks!
David.

Thanks for the quick reply Mort but unfortunately I no longer have the Entourage data (just the exported DSV file) and I had already read and tried the other thread.
It all seems to work fine but when I've finished there's no option to complete or get rid of the box with the field information in it.
The OK button is clickable (ie not greyed out) but doesn't seem to do anything.
I really don't want to have to manually enter this data but with the time it's taking me to resolve the import problem I'd be quicker re-typing everything!
Any other suggestions/fixes anyone?
Thanks
David.

RAW NEF files imported into Aperture from a Nikon D70 are dark

I imported one roll of images straight from the CF card from my Nikon D70 into Aperture.
I also imported them into Nikon PictureProject. (the current application I use)
All the NEF's in Aperture are darker than the NEF's in PictureProject. Has anyone else seen this issue?
Also, any NEF that I have previously edited and saved in Nikon Capture Editor, do not display any of the changes when imported into Aperture. Interesting that the Finder shows the thumbnail correctly. Has anyone else seen this issue?
Thanks, Scott K.

I've imported a few of the NEF files I've gotten from my D2X, and for the most part, they look fine. A little darker than when displayed in Adobe Bridge and ACR, but not that much darker. This is probably just the way the image converter is interpreting the RAW data. A couple of minor levels adjustments for me, and they look fine.
As for Aperture not "seeing" the changes made to a RAW file in Nikon Capture. That may be due to the way Capture applies its changes to the file. If when you make a change, Capture simply adds the adjustments to a side car file, etc., and doesn't change the original RAW file (which it should never do), then Aperture is only reading the original RAW data. The side car info is not understood by Aperture. At least not now.
This is pretty much the same way ACR works.

Text file imported into Hyperion report BQY

Hi,
I would like to know the internal process how Hyperion works in the scenario
1. The Hyperion report query in select * from emp
2. A text file containing list of emp ids has been imported into the report bqy
I believe the query which gets fired on the underlying database is still select * from emp. If so, is it true that the result set of the "select * from emp" then is filtered in the Hyperion server memory based on the emp ids listed in the text file which is embedded in teh report bqy?
I am using Hyperion 9.3.0.
Any input would be appreciated.
Regards,
Suresh
