Duplicating timelines (not assets) makes project HUGE!?!...

Hi all,
I don't do much authoring, so forgive my niavety...
I am working on a DVD where the client wants a play all button and then 7 individual chapters that when played come back to the menu after each one...
Now, what I usually do is encode the whole programme in it's entirety>import as timeline and use that for Play all. I then usually encode each separate section and import each of them as separate timelines..blah, blah, blah. This means double the encoding time and obviously double the amount of encoded video on the disc = more space taken up.
After a bit of a read in Encore 2.0 I tried a new workflow; whereby I encode the entire programme in one go, but put chapter points in Premiere. I then import ONCE as an asset and add that same bit of footage to different timelines with diff out points to go back to the menu.
This works great and means less encoding...only problem is that Encore seems to duplicate the asset's file size each time I add it to a new timeline. Hence my 30 minute programme is now an 18GB project!?!
Is this right, or is there a way around this? It seems crazy that it duplicates the file size, as all Encore is doing is reusing the same bit of media in several different ways..
Any thoughts guys?
Thanks,
Jim.

Well OK, but how do you get a playlist of chapter playlist to do what the writer was asking. Namely,have one timeline (lets say it just has one .avi in it) and a Menu that will either play the entire .avi and then return to the menu OR go to specific chapters but return to the menu after playing each chapter instead of playing all the way to the end?
I see how you can do this using two timelines of the same .avi and I was under the impression ENCORE would not write the converted .avi twice onto the DVD, but evidently you are saying it will...which doubles the size of the project on DVD. Therefore the only thing you really save by doing this on 2 timelines is you only have to transcode the file once. But you still end up with two versions of the mpg on the DVD.
So the question is, you have one .avi You have a menu that has a button "Play entire movie," and another submenu to play specific chapters. And if you go to the submenu and select a specific chapter, you want it to go back to the submenu after just playing that specific chapter instead of continuing all the way to the end. If you set an end action for each chapter to go back to the submenu, then you can't "play the entire movie." And if you don't set end actions for each chapter, then when you select one chapter it will play right on through to the end and you see more than just the chapter you selected.
Is there any way around this without having to write the (transcoded) .avi to the DVD twice? Let's say there are 10 chapters and no end actions set on the chapters, and only one timeline. Are you saying you would create 10 playlists and Playlist1 would contain only Chapter 1, Playlist2 would contain only Chapter 2, etc., and then you link your submenu buttons to each playlist? And then doing it this way would mean that the transcoded .avi only gets written once onto the DVD?
Thanks,
Dave

How to: Select a Specific Timeline Displayed in Project Online when having multiple timelines within the Enterprise Project

Currently I have an Enterprise Project which has 6 custom timelines and I want to know how to select a specific timeline to be displayed on the Project specific SharePoint site.
I'll provide some background for you so you understand my issues... I have created a "template" project with 6 custom timelines. From that project I created multiple new projects - which they all have the 6 custom timelines. These projects are
all stored in the Project Center. The problem I am having is I don't understand how to select a specific timeline to show on the project specific SharePoint site. They all seem to be displaying 1 of the 6 timelines (in no particular order). I was thinking
maybe if I had edited a project and saved it while it was displaying a specific timeline it would display the last selected timeline on the SharePoint site, but it doesn't seem to be doing that.
Is there a way to select a specific timeline to display on the SharePoint site? Also, is there a way for a user to cycle through the numerous timeline view on the project specific SharePoint site?
I await your help!! :)

Michelle_Sm --
I ran into this problem at the company where I used to work. One of our PMs had created multiple Timeline views, and wanted a specific custom Timeline view to show up in the Project Site for that project. I could not see any way to make that
happen. We had one of our SharePoint developers look into the issue, and he could not see any way to make this happen either. So, I am thinking this is not possible to do. But I would gladly welcome others in this forum to tell us the trick,
if there is one! :) Hope this helps.

PreE V8: Clips not displaying in project view

I have a clip in the my timeline/sceneline that is not displaying in Project view. It also does not have the "P" in the bottom corner of the thumbnail in Organizer view. Why isn't the clip considered part of the project?

I have been shooting in XP+ mode and have been for the past year.
I haven't tried using the Premier Elements Get Media function. I usually import both still images from one camera and the video from this camera at the same time into the same Photoshop album and use Organizer. Also there are some training videos and books that tell you to use Organizer.
I tried importing a video file using the Get Media function and was able to use the set in/out points and have them saved correctly.
Then in the project that I am working on I took one of video files that I imported through the Organizer and deleted it from the catalog. Then I imported it using the Get Media function and put it in the album with the other files. Then I used Preview to set in/out points. Those points were saved correctly.
So know I will delete all the remaining video files from the catalog that I haven't yet used in my project and then remote them through Premiere's Get Media.
So it appears that as you thought, I need to use Get Media to import video files. But that is not emphasized in any documentation. I think there should be a warning when importing video files in Organizer saying that if you intend to use Premier Elements to edit them that they should be imported via that product.
Thank you for your assistance.

Baggage files in folder, in rhbag, NOT shown in Project Manager

We use RH7 and have significant numbers of baggage files per project. We import the baggage files, they show up, life is good. We drag/drop to them all over the place. Then you rebuild the .cpd file and more than 50% of them disappear. They are still in the folder, they are STILL in the rhbag file. They just don't show in the project manager, which makes drag/drop pretty darn tough. Also leads to duplicates with slightly different names as authors try to 'fix' the problem.
I painstakenly add them back in...only to have them all disappear the first time I rebuild the .cpd. The same ones stay...the same ones disappear.
What is the issue? This is so frustrating and there is no good answer to provide to people.
Does anyone have a solution that works? Does RH8 fix this? Thank you!!!!

Hi Teri
How's the supply of Dissident going? Any left in the cellar?
Last time you had a problem project, it was the number of images behind the problem. That didn't stop the images appearing but it affected the project in other ways. You say this project has 7,000 images. Isn't that the sort of level that gave you problems before? What is the number of images in the biggest project in the merge you finally created?
Maybe the symptom is the baggage files not appearing in Project Manager but that doesn't mean they are the cause.
What is the file size of this project zipped up? No I don't want you to send it, I want to compare it with the last one that gave grief and was over 100mb as I recall.

Unsupported: This version of Visual Studio does not have the project types

I recently created a new virtual machine with the exact same step-up as my previous virtual machine. When I open my .sln files i get the following message:
Here are the spec for VS 2012

Hi,
Based on the message, the VS Pro 2012 on your new VM does not support that project type. So what type of Visual C# project is the WriteToJS project? Which edition of Visual Studio did you create this project from? What .net framework is this project targeted?
Please make sure this VS supports such project in order to work with this project fine in VS Pro 2012.
I recommend that you check whether the same project template exists from File->New->Project->Visual C# in VS2012 Professional with Update 4 on the new VM. If the same project template exists, please create a new project to check whether the template
project can be created successfully.

AP invoices, assets and Project Costing

Hello:
We have a business environment where some invoices constitute a single asset. As a result we would like to avoid the overhead of creating assets and processing these assets that are comprised of a single invoice through Projects (capital projects screen).
We would like to have these invoices associated with a Project, Task, Expenditure Type, Org but instead route these invoices into mass additions instead of routing them through projects.
I belive that the Concurrent process called "Mass Additions Create Program" automatically routes any invoice that has been associated with a project directly into projects and does not allow the option of having these routed to mass additions.
My question is this. Is there any alternative here? Project Costing is forcing us to route these single invoice assets though Projects. Are there any other options or ideas or do we just have to live with this short-coming?
Many thanks,
Robert

I guess the only shortcoming is if you are trying to run these one line assets into a Capital Project rather than an Indirect or Contract Project. For in the case of the latter, your intended behaviour is certainly acheivable without having to resort to a workaround.
However, if you're trying to send these one line assets from AP into PA to a CAPITAL Project, as well as from AP into FA, your stuck. The system will not allow you to push to FA from AP if the line is also going to a Capital Project and the line is distributed to an Asset Clearing Account "CIP Account".
The manual is a little confusing on this point, but I am certain that for the Mass Additions Create program to pick up a line from AP and move it to FA, the line must have a CIP account designation if it is distributed to a Project. Thus, if the Project is also a Capital Project it can't be done because of the above outlined restiction.
There was a little bolt-on developed a few years back in the TeleCom vertical at Oracle which automated the creation of the Assets from within the Capital Project as telecom companies experienced similar overhead issues with having to "manually" define and move assets out of a Capital Project into FA.
Hope this helps

Serious problem: Imovie is working from the event but not from the project

Hi,
Related to my other post, I have discovered that Imovie seems to be working fine in the event library, but not in the project library.
If I use the spacebar or play buttons in the event part, it shows the film in the right top screen or even in full screen mode.
But if I click on my project, nothing works anymore.

Hi
Try to make a new User/account. Log into this. Have a re-try.
How does it work now ?
If OK. Go back to Your first account, Take move out iMovie pref file to the desktop
Re.start iMovie.
Works OK ?
iMovie pref file resides:
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named: com.apple.iMovie.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.

Imoive : can not open new projects and kept pop up "you have permission to write projects" . plz help~!

New mac mini OS X Lion
I have problem with Imoive. When I try to open new projects for imovie....
Imovie can not create new projects and message pops up "Please check there is enough space or you have permission to write new projects".
I have no clue and Disk has more than 300GB now.
Can anyone help me....?

I found a similar problem and the instructions said to check a permission box in the "Get Info" tab.
This applies only when the Library is on an external drive. You cannot ignore permissions on the system drive.
I was deleting files trying to make space on my hard drive
What were you deleting?
and noticed as I was deleting files more data was being added to the iPhoto Library.
Hard to see how deleting files can add data to the iPhoto Library. Can you explain why you thought this?
I would really like to keep these pictures.
Make a back up now.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

IMovie 10.0.1 not displaying existing projects from previous iMovie

Hi.
Even after the recent update to iMovie 10, it is still not showing the large number of existing projects that were in the my previous version of iMovie. Where have they gone? How can I get the new iMovie to recognise them? I had hoped the latst update 10.0.1 would resolve the issue as the release notes did make mention of the problem.
Anyone have any solutions?

IMovie will not open a project with a .rcproject extension

The other night I was working on a project in iMovie. This morning, when I opened up iMovie, I did not see the project in the viewing window, and the project filename had a .rcproject extension in the iMovie projects folder. I cannot seem to get iMovie to open the file. I would greatly appreciate any help! Thanks.

BTW my client says that the info breakdown on the clips says:
'component y'Cbcr 10-bit'
