Does Aperture have a movie management plugin?

Hi there,
I shoot a lot of small movies, along with photos, that I want to keep in the same folders. iView Media Pro did this nicely, but Microsoft took it over (renamed it as Media Expressions) and now seems to be letting it die. I've been told that neither of the obvious alternatives, Aperture or Lightroom, manages movie files, but someone recently pointed out that there's a plugin for Lightroom that does just this:
it's called 'Video-Asset Management plug-in'.
I'd prefer to stay with Apple, since I use a Mac, so I thought I'd see if there's a similar plugin for Aperture. Anyone know?
thanks, Malcolm

WOW such support . . .
The only import offered is “in place, without moving”.
can't do any editing (altho why would you want to in an IMAGE editing program.)
Subsequent changes to the video are not reflected in Lightroom.
and to top it off . . .
No export.
Ya . . . big support . . .

Does Aperture have layers, such as Photoshop. I have to make one photo out of two photo's.

Does Aperture have layers like in Photoshop? I have to make 1 photo out of two. This is an assignment for the Fotovakschool.

As Alan pointed out Aperture does not do layers. While the plugin he pointed to seems interesting (had never seen it before) it is on the pricey side for what it does.
You could use either GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program which is free or else Pixelmator from the Mac App Store for $30, as Apertures external editor. In either case you'll get a app that will do more for you then just layers.

Does Aperture have Exposure help?

Hi,
I have only been using Aperture for a very short amount of time and thus may have overlooked this feature.
In Camera Raw when viewing a RAW files I can hold down alt whilst moving the exposure slider, then it will show me if my Highlights / low-lights are blown?
Does Aperture have similar functionality?
Grant

it sure does, at least of the highlights. from the view menu choose "highlight hot spots" or something like that. i think the keyboard short cut is Option-Shift-H.
with this menu item enabled, as you slide the exposure (or any other adjustment for that matter) you'll see the hot spots highlighted in red.
hope that was helpful.

Does Aperture have a salt and pepper filter

I have scanned around 3000 photos and imported into iPhoto. On enlargement many have dozens of small white spot and tiny hair imperfections. In iPhoto these can be deleted individually by using the retouch tool. Does Aperture (or hidden in iPhoto) support a tool for automatic, mass deletion of these spots? I understand this can be called a salt and pepper filter, or perhaps de-speckle. Notes: the speckles are random so not caused by a scanner setting. The scanner plate was cleaned as well as possible and the photos were cleaned as best as possible given they were pulled from old albums. Re-scanning is not an option. i want to retain as much clarity as possible so do not want a general blur. For simplicity I want to remain using an Apple product rather than an alternate photo-editing tool. Thanks for reading. Vince

No, Aperture does not have Speckle filters. But your white spots and lines are not exactly Speckle noise. For a real Speckle noise (Salt and Pepper) you would have very dark spots as well.
In Aperture you could try to reduce the white spots and lines by applying the smoothing brush selectively to the darker areas, but that will only soften the spots, not remove them completely. Or use the "Repair" tool to remove the spots.
One filter that works well with small, bright spots is the median filter, but that is missing in Aperture. In Photoshop or similar external editors you can use the filter "Expend dark areas" (I am not sure how this filter is called in the english version - my Photoshop has german menus). This will shrink the white spots and white lines by expanding the darker regions. You need to set the radius to half of the size of the spots.

HT201593 Itunes 12 does not have the "Manually manage music" option

I have itunes 12 and the "manually manage music and videos" is not there. "Manually manage videos" is the only option. I use itunes for work and I NEED a fix. I am unable to drag and drop as well.

Hello there, Jenks855.
When wanting to manually manage content on your iOS device, the Knowledge Base article you were referred from provides some great information and practical steps for troubleshooting:

Connect your device to your computer.
Open iTunes. Make sure that you have the latest version.
Choose the content that you want to add to your device from your iTunes library.
Drag the content to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. A panel should appear. Locate your device.
What if I can't manually add content to or remove content from my device?

I don't use a download manager and just learned about Akamai from the reply by kglad, however, all of my downloads have been from Adobe and according to the url provided by kglad, I should aoutomatically recieve a copy of Akamai Download Manager along with my Adobe downloads, and that has not been my experience thus far.

Does aperture have templates for non-standard aspect ratios?

i am not yet an aperture user, but i am interested in switching to it to improve on the photo book quality WRT iPhoto.
i like very much to have photos with non-standard aspect ratios, either square or wide (like 3:1). these are cropped very badly by iPhoto; is it better in Aperture?
thanks,
b.

The templates my have a few variations that use non-standard ratios, but you can specify any photo box ratio. You have the option to either right click and choose it from a list, or choose the custom option from that pull list, or use the "Size & Position" pane of the Aperture UI to specify an exact size, angle, and border thickness and color of a photobox. This works similar to the controls in Pages, but without some of the nice effects like transparency and drop shadows.
If you want to create custom layouts, read the "Working with Custom Themes" section on page 609 of the user manual (download it with the trial). The trial is good for 30 days, so why not give it a spin, and if you don't think it's worth the $199, then you can always delete it at no cost to you other than your time.

Does somebody have experience to manage SAP project with solution manager?

Hi friends,
I will implement new project for my client. As I know, solution manager is already part of SAP Netweaver. To install SAP NetWeaver, solution manager must be installed. Meanwhile, solution manager provides a project management tool, for example, the business process definition, blueprint...

Why does email have cannot move mail?

My IPhone occassionally will not allow me to delete email and shows a message that I cannot move the mail (to trash). The settings seem the same on my IPad which works fine and I can delete from my computer, but not the IPhone. This is frequent and annoying.

What did your email provider say when you contacted them about their server issue?

Itunes Store menu does not have music, movies or tv

Why would my ITunes Store menu only show apps, podcasts and ITunesU? I want to download music.

Why would my ITunes Store menu only show apps, podcasts and ITunesU?
Because Apple hasn't secured permission to sell enough music and videos in Indonesia to justify opening other sections.

Does Aperture import movies? If so, can I use Aperture to edit them?

iPhoto allowed me to organize video as well as photos. Does Aperture have that capability? If so, can I also use Aperture to edit videos? If not, does that editing have to occur in iMovie?

See Aperture 3: About Video and Audio formats in Aperture but notice the top of the document it says this is an example of some supported formats so if your's isn't listed it still Aperture still might import it.

Does Aperture support making Panoramic Stitches?

One of the most fun I have had on a digital machine is making Panorama Images. Does Aperture have an automatic stitch engine to put together images to make a 180 or 360 view called a Panoramic Image?

Hi
It will come eventually I guess, there are some great plug-in's for Aperture, which can be used from within Aperture. When you wish to use a plug-in you simply right click the image or images you wish to use with say, Photoshop or, Noise Ninja, then click >"edit with"..... and select your plug-in.
This works well.....
Remembering ( in Aperture's defence ) that Aperture is a powerful image management system, with some excellent editing capabilities.
Have a look.... www.apple.com/aperture/resources/plugins.html

I changed something with my page, and now I have to move my cursor all the way up to the top to get the home, bookmarks or closing button

the URL line is also hidden until I scroll all the way up.

Sounds like you are in Full Screen Mode.
*F11 will toggle Full Screen Mode on or off.
*Another way to exit Full Screen Mode, when moving your cursor to the top of the screen, the toolbars will "slide" down; move your cursor onto a blank spot on one of the toolbars, right-click and click "Exit Full Screen Mode".

Does Aperture make copies when you edit--like iPhoto?

Sorry to take up time with such a simple question.
But, my wife is the family photo editor--and she hates iPhoto's non-intuitive way of making duplicates whenever she edits a photo. Inevitably, whenever she tries to get back to the edited version of the photo, she can't find it--or finds the "wrong" one and ends up sending it to the grandparents, etc...
My question is this: Does Aperture have the ability to simply save the edited photo and permanently trash the original? If so, is the program set up that way as a default setting? Apart from the confusion that iPhoto causes, it really starts to take up valuable drive space with several versions of the same photo...
Thanks in advance for your help.

it does not make dups ... especially not in the way you are thinking ...
unless you tell it to make a new version when editing - but that is not a full copy, just an instruction to make a second version ...
aperture uses versions to make changes and holds the instructions in small little files ...
i can make 80 different versions of one master file and never equal double the size of the original (ok 80 may be overstating but you get my point) ...
it uses non-destructive editing, your original is never touched ... if you need a copy of a version, simply export it out ... you will never trash the original, unless you export a version, delete the master and then reimpor the version as a master ...
hope this helps ...
Message was edited by: tidysteve
oh, the only time it will create a new physical file is if you decide to open the master in say photoshop, then it will create (based on your prefs) a new tiff or psd and add that to your library ...
