Dividing a project

I have 1 long concert video, 2 camera shoot with a separate audio track, i would like to put all this into one project, mix and basic edit, then i would like to take the 3 separate performances and make each into a project, possibly with some additional edits etc....is there a way to do this? Can i take a portion of a project and import/export it to a new project folder? If so how?

You can edit the one "master Sequence," then create additional Sequences, go to that master, Select just what you want, Copy, and Paste to the appropriate segment's Sequence.
To make life easier, you might consider doing a Dip-to-Black in the master, between where you want the segments to be separated.
Good luck,

Dividing a project into two projects

How do I divide my project into two projects so that I can burn it to a DVD? I have 2hrs 40 mins and this is too long. thanks!

Go to the Project Library View and select your project.
Then FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT and give the duplicate a name like "your name - part 1".
Then duplicate it again and give the duplicate a name like "your name - part 2"
Now you can open "part 1" as a project and delete everything that is in part 2.
Open "part 2" as a project and delete everything that is in part 1.

Best way to divide iDVD project onto 2 DVDs?

I have an iDVD project that I've spent sooooooo much time on, and after burning to DVD, the quality was awful (zigzaginess with movement in the shadow areas, etc etc).
The project duration is 80:44 minutes. DVD capacity says 4.4GB of 4.2 GB.
So would the best thing be to divide it into two DVDs? Part 1 and Part 2? Do I just make a copy of the file, and delete chapters 1-25 on one and chapters 26-51 on the other? Is it that simple?

No, a standard DVD-R disk can hold 120 minutes, so you are well within the disk capacity. The file size has nothing to do with it. It is running time that counts. Also, 4.2 GB = 4.7 GB. It is just being expressed differently. But none of this has any bearing on the quality of your final DVD. You are well within capacity. It is not necessary, nor would it be helpful, to divide your project into two DVDs.
If your still images look jaggy, it probably was because you used the Share menu function to share your iMovie project to iDVD and when the prompt came up to render or proceed anyway, you selected render. Don't do that. Always select Proceed Anyway. That way iDVD will do the rendering and it does a much better job than iMovie. iMovie's rendering, in fact, is destructive and can ruin the appearance of your still images on the final DVD.
Instead of using the Share function, I find it best to drag the iMovie project icon (the one with the star on it) into the edge of your iDVD main menu window, being careful not to put it in a drop zone. Your movie will then import into iDVD and iDVD will handle all of the rendering. Your results will be much better.
Then save your iDVD project as a disk image (an option on the file menu) and burn your DVD from the Disk Image using the Disk Utility app on your Mac. That usually yields the best results.
Also, for projects between 60 minutes and 120 minutes duration, you should burn using the Best Quality setting rather than best performance.
If your moving video clips look like they have moving combed lines through them when the clip depicts hard edged images or parallel lines, that is due to interlacing. iDVD is designed to produce projects that play on an interlaced TV. If you play it on a progressive screen TV, or on your progressive computer screen, you may get the wavy lines that come from playing interlaced material on a progressive screen. Splitting your project into two projects will not help that.

Dividing up an iMovie project

I made a iMovie project that is made up of still pics and ken burns setting. Each pic is 6 seconds long and the entire project is 6 hours with music in the back ground. This is too long for iDVD and needs to be broken up. How do I divide the project up without changing the contents?

Navigate to the Project Library view, so you see the names of all your projects on the left, and your Project looks like a filmstrip on the right.
Now, right-click on the Project Name and select Duplicate Project. You may need to do this multiple times.
You may want to rename them so you can tell them apart (e.g. hour 1, hour 2, etc.)
Now you can open up these copies, and delete the portions you do not need, leaving the part the you want to keep intact.

How to create one complex project in web dynpro

hi,
i have 2 transations.i m going to create one project for one transaction each.but in my carse there are 20 views in each project.i want to distribute all the views to 10 developers.i mean how to distribute the different view or application or component for 0ne project among all the developer....this is my doubt that how to clubbing together all the views,applications and compoents altogether in web dynpro later.
its very urgent,
thanx in advance.
regards,
HP

Hi ,
One way is dividing your project into DCs.
1. You can keep your model in one DC.
2. Create different DCs for different functionalities and place the views under appropriate components
3. Expose the components as public parts so that the views can reused by the developers.
Please go though the documents on DCs for creating public parts and resuing DCs

Directory layout for a new project

Hi everyone. I'm trying to divide (and hopefully conquer) a project in the company. Currently we're starting a new project and the word from the manager is: take this older project and make the new one (somehow the old project is a subset of the new one, but anyway...)
The problem is this older project consists of a base project. So the dev's created an src dir for their project and another dir, lets say core for the base project. (and we're suppused to make this into a new project!).
I'm relatively new in J2EE, but from what I've read thus far isn't this directory layout wrong? From my point of view we should divide the project in say:
project_dir
|
|---->core-ejb
|---->old-ejb
|---->project-ejb
|---->war
|---->client
and it's sub-directory being a sub-project? When creating an ear it can contain multiple ejb jar's right? Like having core-ejb.jar, old-ejb.jar, project-ejb.jar etc. Is my opinion correct, or am I missing something?

We are introducing a new feature in Flex 2.0.1 that's due out
early next year. The feature is called "Modules" and it was
discussed at this year's MAX 2006. You can read more about it on
Roger Gonzalez's blog:
http://blogs.adobe.com/rgonzalez/
- check the "Modular Applications" articles. I think this will go a
long way to making the reusable parts you are talking about.
Flex does not build things from instructions unless they are
written in ActionScript. We have customers that do create dynamic
interfaces based on data loaded from a database, so it is possible.
But if you have pre-built templates and all you need to do is
change certain aspects at runtime, it should be pretty easy with
Flex. Take a look at the Flex documentation, especially the part
about the Flex framework and how Flex sources are compiled into
SWFs.
You style Flex components using style sheets (CSS files).
This also includes specifying skins for components if you decide to
give something a whole new look.
I'm a bit biased here, but I think using ColdFusion (version
7.0.2) with Flex 2 is very easy. But it depends on your needs,
budget, deployment, etc. WIth CF 7.0.2 and Flex Builder 2 you get
wizards to be build both CFC (ColdFusion components) and matching
ActionScript objects so that you exchange objects, not just data,
between Flex and CF.
WebServices can also be used (with CF, too). This gives you
more choices to the backend. If you have a large amount of data or
it is complex, consider Flex Data Services as that has data
management capabilities.
Flex 2 has localization capabilties. You create a 'resource
bundle' in various languages and build SWFs for each one. When the
end user choses their preference, take them to the page that loads
the appropriate SWF.

Soundtrack project won't save

Hi,
I've got a handful of STP files which will not save. The error message is "The document '*' could not be saved" '*' = my document.
Before that comes up, when saving normally, it says that the file cannot be saved to the original location. (we have an XSan server system) so we 'save as' to the desktop or external drive and we get the above message.
Any idea on this? I can't seem to get around it and I really need to save this work!!
Thanks in advance.

I have since tried dividing the project in to thirds. Not sure if it is saving or not. Spinning beach ball, stalled progress bar.

Best Practices for Defining NDS Java Projects...

We are doing a Proof of Concept on using NDS to develop non-SAP Java applications. We are attempting to determine if we can replace our current Java development tools with NDS/WAS.
We are struggling with SAP's terminology and "plumbing" for setting up/defining Java projects. For example, what is and when do you define Tracks, Software Components, Development Components, etc. All of these terms are totally foreign to us and do not relate to our current Java environment (at least not that we can see). We are also struggling with how the DTR and activities tie in to those components.
If any one has defined best practices for setting up Java projects or has struggled with and overcome these same issues, please provide us with some guidance. This is a very frustrating and time-consuming issue for us.
Thank you!!

Hi Peggy,
In Component Model we divide software projects into small components.Components can use other components in well defined manner.
A development object is a part of a component that can be changed or developed in some way; it provides the component with a certain part of its functionality. A development object may be a Java class, a Web Dynpro view, a table definition, a JSP page, and so on. Development objects are always stored as sources in a repository.
A development component can be defined as a frame shared by a number of objects, which are part of the software.
Software components combine components (DCs) to larger units for delivery and deployment.
A track comprises configurations and runtime systems required for developing software component versions.It ensures stable states of deliverables used by subsequent tracks.
The Design Time Repository is for versioning source code management. Distributed development of software in teams. Transport and replication of sources.
You can also find lot of support in SDN for the above concepts with tutorials.

Material reconciliation should be done vendor wise or project wise

Hi all,
how to do material reconciliation should be done vendor wise or project wise?? any help....MIRCMR is not working

You could use MB51/MB5B report in ALV grid and have look ups the way you wish with either Vendor or WBS/Network. However, it will not give you correct picture as Vendor is only associated with receipts (and subcontracting issues) and hence you will find lot many issues without vendor - all clubbed together.
For projects, it will only show you transactions groups per project where your inventory is assigned to project, but for rest it will again be grouped together.
Your requirement to see stock as per project is relevant if all your inventory is sub-divided into project stock only.

Moving and renaming clips in the Project Window is EXTREMELY slow, but the rest of the program is fine?! PPro CS6

I have Win7 Pro X64 with Core i7 and 32GB RAM...
When I'm editing and doing other things, adding FX etc, the program works fine BUT when I do ANYTHING in the Program Window i.e. renaming clips, moving clips, etc the program acts as if it's bogged down... I can't for the life of me figure this one out...
I don't have a large number of clips/footage items
I've cleaned the cache
What else could be causing this? When I say slow, I mean a good 10 seconds before the program responds to anything I've done, and when renaming clips, I always have to do it twice because the first time it doesn't "take"
Thanks all for any help!
Aza

It occurs with or without clips in a sequence... the problem isn't the sequences, the problem ONLY occurs in the Project Panel, every other panel is as fast as my machine will allow (very fast) only the PROJECT Panel is EXTREMELY slow when moving clips into folders, etc
ALSO, all my drives and preferences are set up the same in every project, only THIS project is moving slowly... I even divided the project up into 4 separate projects to cut down on the number of clips in each project, and it still moves slow... almost as if something has carried over to each project, or something

How should one deal with sub-projects?

Hello to all!
Let me first clarify my title-question.
On my current project I faced software malfunction [FCPX quitting] when I reached 17 minutes of building the video on the timeline. [As a reference, allow me to call this 17-minute part of the video in making as the main project.]
Remembering from an earlier thread [? Mr. Russ being the contributor], I opted to continue the project as a separate project which I seek to call as the sub-project Now even this sub-project is of a 14 minute duration and I have need to start a sub-project 2.
I would now like to be guided as to how to deal with these sub-projects while editing the video and after finishing the project.
Firstly, while editing. My present plan is to complete the project's video utilising as many sub-projects as needed, and then add the sub-projects to the main project. This done, I intend to add voiceover for the completed project. During this process, my questions are this...how do I add the sub-projects onto the main project? If I select and copy/paste the sub-project, it gets added as 'connected clips'...this is okay if one can export the project as such. But, when a voiceover has to be added, further retiming of the clips are called for and at this stage problems arise. Now, as I am writing this, it is striking me that I could make this added sub-project as a secondary storyline, get done with the retiming after the voiceover is added, and export the project. Have not done this before and would like guidance from senior contributors in this issue.
Secondly, when the project is exported and is being archived, do I need to have all the sub-projects or delete them to save drive-space?
Thanks in advance.
Have a great day.
Dr. Somanna

Thanks Karsten for this further instructions. The present project I am working on is being done as a race against time. Faced a problem when dealing with a stack of generator clips one upon the other and each clip being given different commands regarding changes in position and rotation. Beyond the 17 minute mark, one click upon the parameter in the inspector window, and the application quit. When this quitting became a regular feature, I just remembered a thread in which one contributor wrote that he usually divides his projects into 10 minute bits before making up the whole project. Not willing to spend time further on this problem, being in a very 'creative frame mode' I simply continued working upon the project by starting up a 'sub-project'.
Regards and take care.

How do I split a very large RH8 project?

Hi,
I need to split a large RH8 (webhelp) project with about 10,000 files. There is no logical way to divide the contents, the topics are all intertwined. However, there is one folder that contains 3000+ files.
Have anyone split a large project like this? Appreciate any tips, best practices or suggestions.
Thanks, Hemtya

Hi Hemtya. I've always tried to avoid getting into this situation but I'd do the following:
Think carefully how you'd divide the project - maybe by folder is a good way although I'd also divide the 3000 file folder also.
Create another project to act as a Master into which all the others are merged.
Copy the project to a new directory, open RH and delete unwanted topics (e.g. by folder).
There is lots of other stuff to consider (e.g. path links) but how you tackle these things depends on your output type. If you tell us that, we'll be able to point you to some other resources.

IMovie project too detailed. Mac can't handle it.

I'm editing a VERY long and complicated iMovie project with a lot of transparent videos on top of another, texts, audio files, high quality video clips, transitions, etc. Basically what has happened is the project is so detailed and complicated that the Mac can't edit it or handle it anymore. I open it up and I try to click on a clip and I get the rainbow wheel, I can't even move my mouse over the project, I just get the rainbow wheel.
The Mac is 2.66 gHz, and intel core dual processor. I need to finish editing this project (which is currently 19 minutes and 46 seconds long), so I need to know if theres anyway to allow my Mac to do this.
My Idea was to link several other Mac's together and network them to make one supercomputer with crazy power. I think you do with it a firewire cable.
Does anyone know a lot about this supercomputer method, how to do it, if software is required etc.? Maybe someone has a different method to solve my problem?
Much appreciated,
Jared.

Are you possibly running low on free space on your start up drive? For a complicated project you should have more than 25GB of free space on your boot drive.
If that's not the problem sometimes a simple restart will help.
Also, sometimes permissions and preferences can get corrupted. Whenever iMovie starts acting funny, a common maintenance procedure is to do the following: Delete preferences by closing iMovie and trashing the file com.apple.iMovie.plist found in User (the House icon)/Library/Preferences. Then do a permissions repair using the Utilities/Disk Utility App on your Mac. Open the DiskUtilities window and select the Mac hard drive icon at the top of the side pane at the left. Then click on the Repair Permissions button. When you have repaired permissions and deleted preferences, restart your computer and launch iMovie. iMovie will replace the .plist file that you deleted. Then see if you still have the problem.
I don't know what version of iMovie you are using, but when I am working on long or complicated movies in iM6 I often divide the project into 2 or more iMovie projects for editing purposes, and then join them together at the end.
Good luck with this.

Can I split a large project, finalise each section.........

Can I split a large project, finalise each section then recombine to put onto DVD? It will be too large and cumbersome otherwise and in danger of crashing. I'm using iMovie version 10.0.5

You can indeed divide a project into pieces, share each piece separately to file then combine the resulting files together outside of iMovie using for example Quicktime Player. I find this is a good way of keeping the working project manageable in size.
You can burn the 'joined-up' file to a DVD as a data DVD which will play on a computer. If, however, you want to create a DVD that will play on an ordinary DVD player that is different story that a lot of other posts have covered, since iMovie 10 no longer supports direct transfer to iDVD and chapter markers..
