Edit Catalog so I can have edits performed remotely?

Hi All
I'm a wedding photographer and when I'm done with a wedding, the sum of my files is usually 8 GB.  I want to be able to send those files over the internet to another source to edit, and then have them send back (internet again) to me with the edits.  This is a huge pain when dealing with an entire 8 GB folder becuase of pretty slow uploading speeds.  Sending the entire file just really isn't an option on a regualr basis and I'm trying to find a sucessful workaround (open to any and all suggestions!).
My idea was to create a new catalog in LR2 and import the large-res wedding photos.  Then export the photos and resize to about 700x700 pixels, which equates to about 500 MB for the entire folder.  I can ZIP this and then send that folder to the external source via FTP.  They would create a new catalog, named exactly the same as mine, download the smaller sized images, perform edits, export catalog, and send ONLY the catalog back to me (not the low-res images).  I was hoping to overwrite my catalog and have all the edits transfer over to the large-res files.  But when my external source imported those 700x700 files (instead of my 5000x5000 files) that was unfortunately written into the catalog data.
Does anyone know a work around for this in LR2? 
Thanks so much for any help you can provide!

Here is a link to my advice.
The only thing I would change, to make it easier...
Drag the whole Video_TS folder into MPEG Streamclip. Don't worry about what is non-zero.

  • Save editable PDF so clients can't edit it

    I created a PDF with forms for my colleagues to fill out. They have Adobe Reader 9. How can they save the PDF so it becomes UNeditable so they can send it to their clients?

    If they have Reader, then they can not make them uneditable.

  • Can't edit in Quicktime Pro

    I just upgrated to Quicktime Pro, but the edit fuctions are unavailable. I have saved a movie clip imported from a Video Camera as a .mov file, and selected a portion, but copy / cut / paste etc. are still grey. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

    Open the file with QuickTime Player and look at the Movie Info window.
    I'll bet you'll see that the file is MPEG-1 format.
    MPEG Streamclip (free) can convert it to QuickTime formats that you can edit. QuickTime Pro can't edit muxed track formats (MPEG 1 or 2 and Flash).

  • Dreamweaver Template: circle with diagonal line in editable region, but can still edit

    Since upgrading to Dreamweaver CC 2014, for only one of dozens of clients, in a Template, I get a circle with diagonal line in editable region, but I can still edit it, I just can't click to the spot that I want to edit, I have to navigate there with the up down left and right arrows on my keyboard. And, I created a new Template and it didn't happen, until I "got" a file, and now it happens in the new Template too. What's going on?

    Sorry, I'm new here. Do you mean like a screen shot? I just thought maybe somebody had seen this before and would just tell me "you need to uncheck the something or other"

  • What types of video can I edit in QuickTime Pro?

    I'm looking to simply cut sections of existing video and save them as a new file. I tried doing this with an .mpeg, but with no luck. Does QuickTime Pro only allow you to edit .mov files, or can you edit other formats as well?

    lots of formats, you just have to get the codecs so it can play it.
    .mov

    .flash

    MOV is a container, not a format (codec). Inside a MOV container is the video file which could be in an unsupported format like DivX, in which case the required codec is needed. Some files that end in MP4 are not in a conforming MPEG-4 codec and they won't play either. You forgot to mention WMV which can be played for free with Flip4mac and exported for a small cost with an upgraded version of F4M.
    Users should have ONLY - unless something very specific is supplied with an application - apple's codecs, Flip4mac to play Windows media files and Perian 1.1 to play back all the cruft from the interweb, in their Quicktime folder.

  • Can't edit objects on the stage

    Hi,
    I'm stumped helping my colleague on the issue below so I'm logging this question.
    Issue: My colleague is trying to edit a slide but can't edit any of the objects on the stage. However, it works fine when I open the same project on my machine. Is there a setting on her machine that's causing the issue?
    In the screenshot below, check out Slide 2 (selected) notice how:
    in the thumbnail there are multiple objects (white image on the left, blue text caption in the center) on the slide.
    in the timeline multiple objects are available and selectable. All are set to be visible (the little "eye" isn't switched to off).
    when you look at the stage, the only things that we see are the background and a single button.
    The objects also appear fine in Preview.
    On the stage, can "phatomly" select objects, but she can't change the characteristics of them (e.g., change text in a text caption, resize object, move object).
    Screenshot:
    OS: Windows 7
    Captivate: v5.5 (running as Administrator)
    Background info:
    This project was initially created in an older Captivate version (4.0 or 5.0) and is now being edited/updated.
    Last week, my colleague was trying to edit the same project (using v5.0). When she clicked play on the timeline, her audio wouldn't play. When she watched the Preview or tried to edit the audio, the audio would play just fine. Also, on my machine (running v5.5) it worked fine. This prompted me to suggest that she update to v5.5. Alas, it seems this fixed the audio issue, only to create this video issue.
    Thanks,
    - Dino

    Here's a bigger/better quality image. I hope it helps.
    Notice how the Text Caption is selected in the timeline and it's properties are visible on the right. Yet the item itself is nowhere to be seen on the stage. Also, now it seems to have disappeared from the thumbnail.

  • Can DPM share a remote SQL Instance with other System Centre Products?

    Firstly, apologies if this has been answered elsewhere but I can't seem to find a definitive line on it.
    I am about to install and start implementing DPM 2012 R2 and have restricted access to SQL instances and the creation of. Can DPM share a SQL instance? Mainly can it share an instance shared with other System Centre products?
    Does it really need a dedicated DB engine and Reporting services instance?

    Hi,
    No, Each DPM server requires it's own dedicated instance name.  You can have a single remote SQL server, but with seperate instances for each DPM server, or other System Center products.
    Make sure that names of your instances does not contains an underscore in the instance name.

  • Is there a way to import Raw files into LR catalog ..including..any edits performed in an external raw file editor such as Capture One?

    Is there a way to import Raw files into LR catalog ..including..any edits performed in an external raw file editor such as Capture One?
    I can import the Raw file successfully but cannot see any edits that were applied in Capture One. Im assuming no but just checking.

    Your assumption is correct, Capture One, Lightroom and other third party raw processors have their own proprietary processes and profiles for rendering the raw data.
    They do not make permanent changes to the raw data and store the changes to an .xmp file or to a catalog file like Lightroom.

  • How can I edit the same photo in multiple LR catalogs?

    Hi Forumworld,
    I would like to edit the same photo in multiple LR catalogs. Before you say "don't", there are many reasons why I'd like to do this. I am a working professional photographer and LR is one of the many tools in my workflow. I essentially want to organize my catalogs according to two different principles: once by year and once by theme. As in, a catalog each for 2014, 2015, 2016. But also one where I can group all of my wedding photos, for instance. I have several reasons for not throwing all of them together into one catalog.
    I know that LR is essentially non-destructive, making this an uphill battle. But: if I do something like set all LR catalogs involved to Automatically Write Changes into XMP, should that a) be visible by any catalog and b) sync properly? As in: once the photo is imported to both Catalog A to Catalog B, can I edit it in A and see those changes - including developing, but also flagging etc. - in B? And vice-versa?
    Thanks for your help,
    Adam

    Hi All,
    thanks for the various answers. I've considered most of what was written already, but the gem in all this that I was looking for was from John's answer:
         You will also lose some of your work (xmp doesn't record flags, stacking, virtual copies, history steps...). So for one thing you specifically mentioned, flagging, you can't sync it across multiple collections
    This is consistent with what I've experienced - I wanted to find out if there was a way to not loose some of my work. The goal was to find a way that everything would sync automatically & properly so that I would always access the identical image from various catalogs. This is what I thought XMP would do - but I experienced that it didn't and now I understand that it won't do it properly, regardless of the settings. Flags were exactly the piece of information I was missing when I tried this.
    I am surprised that everyone is telling me to use one Catalog. I am sorry but I don't believe that it will scale - because that is not what I have experienced. When my LR4 catalog got to about 50,000 images, it slowed down dramatically.  Has something big changed in LR5? I have read many threads about this, most seem to say that already in LR4 it shouldn't have slowed down, but it did. No, my hard drive wasn't full. I just shoot a lot, mostly with a D800.
    Thanks,
    Adam

  • I have downloaded five hours of video of my band playing and have edited it down to two hours but I can't fast forward it or jump to the next song. what do I need to do. Also is there anyway to eq the sound before making a dvd

    I have edited five hours of my band playing and after burning a dvd it won't fast forward or go to the next song. what do I need to do. Also is there a way to add eq to the video before I burn it. (the bass is weak)

    Hi Steve,
    The following suggestions assume you are using iMovie '11 (but are also mostly applicable to iMovie '09 from memory - but not sure about the Equalizer).
    You mentioned in the topic header that you had edited the project down to 2 hours. In iDVD that is the maximum time allowed for a standard single layer DVD, including time taken for the theme and menus. Perhaps things are a bit tight, and you may need to shorten the project by a few minutes before exporting again for iDVD.
    Note that for the Best Performance setting the maximum duration is 1 hour. For 2 hours duration you need to use either High Quality or Professional Quality (the latter takes about twice as long to encode, as it does a 2 pass operation).
    In your iMovie project did you insert chapter markers for the beginning of each song? If so, don't place them within a transition. Also, don't insert a marker at the very beginning of the project - iDVD will do this for you automatically - all you need to do in iDVD is rename it. In case you aren't familiar with the markers, see this picture (just drag the marker onto the clip where you want the chapter to start, then give it a name in the marker box that appears):
    Regarding the Equalizer, in the iMovie project, double-click on the audio track to bring up the Inspector. Select Audio - you will see an Equalizer item. Use the Custom setting, or by clicking on the disclosure triangles (little arrow heads), you can choose from a range of presets. See this picture:
    Hope this helps!

    I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

    The application Acrobat provides no language translation capability.
    If you localize the language for OS, MS Office applications, Acrobat, etc to the desired language try again.
    Alternative: transfer a copy of content into a web based translation service (Bing or Google provides a free service).
    Transfer the output into a word processing program that is localized to the appropriate language.
    Do cleanup.
    Be well...

  • I have edited photos in i-photo and would like to have them printed.  How do i burn them to disc in a format that a windows PC system can read.  I am in India and this is definitely "microsoft" country!  thanks for taking the time to guide me.

    I have edited photos in i-photo and would like to have them printed at any photo development lab.  I am in India and this is definitely "microsoft" country !
    Please advise me how to burn these edited photos to a disc to take to the nearest printing store in a format that "windows" system can understand.
    Thanks in advance.  I look forward to learning about this. 

    Select the pics in the viPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export them to a folder on the desktop. Burn that to disk with the Finder's burn command. Result. A disk with a folder of images that any machine can understand.

  • How can I edit my website from another computer? and how can I create a new website next to the one, I have already? Can anyone help, please?

    How can I edit my website from another computer? and how can I create a new website next to the one, I already have? Can anyone help, please?

    Move the domain.sites file from one computer to the other.
    The file is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.  Move this file to the same location on the other computer and double click and iWeb will open it.  Remember, it is your User Library that you want and not your System Library, as you will not find iWeb there.
    Just create a new site on the same domain file and it will appear below the other site.  If you want them side by side then duplicate your domain file and have one site per a domain file and they can then be side by side.
