Editing and saving individual clips for import into iDVD

I've begun a large project digitizing many old family 8mm projector films. Each reel, varying in size from 3 to 20 min, was imported into iMovie HD 6 as individual clips. These clips are, in a sense, self contained movies. I want to use iMovie to mute the sounds, add a soundtrack, and make some visual adjustments. My goal is to create an iDVD project with several submenus based on location, in each menu will be a list of the reels (iMovie clips), that took place in each location.
I've figured out how to do everything except saving and exporting edited clips to iDVD. Since iMovie is set up to create one movie per project (the timeline represents one movie, right?), I can import individual clips into iDVD but they aren't edited. What I want to be able to do is drag one clip into the timeline, make my adjustments, save it, put it back with the other clips to be imported in iDVD, and repeat the process. Is this possible in iMovie? Should I get something else like Final Cut Express?

I gather that what you want to do is modify the clips and save them as self contained movies for eventual import into iDVD.
Edit your clip in iMovie, add your sound track, and then File/Export/compress movie for Full Quality to your desktop as a self contained Quicktime Movie. Each of these self contained Quicktime Movies can be dragged into your iDVD project by dragging them to the edge of the main iDVD menu window.

Imovie media browser only has one option, "Mobile". other videos had option for medium and small. mobile option wont import into iDVD. other videos gave me the Medium option, why not this one?

help! imovie media browser only has one option, "Mobile". other videos had option for medium and small. mobile option wont import into iDVD. other videos gave me the Medium option, why not this one? need answers ASAP!

That is your answer then.
Large is 960x540
Medium is 640x480 (or 720x480)
Mobile is probably 480x272.
It is offering you the sizes that make sense given the size of your source material.
As a trick, you might try this. In your project, put a short 640x480 clip in the project as the first clip of the project. Then keep the rest of the project as is. See if it will let you share now in Medium. It will not look as good, because there are not enough pixels to cover the Medium size, but it might work.

Editing raw video and saving individual clips

New to Premier Elements 10. Is there a way to save individual video clips after chopping up my raw video. Or should I be using another program? I simply want to convert a long video into shorter segments for my files and ease of future use. Thanks!

Export Oracle tables and metadata to file for importation into another Db

Hi all,
In relation to past posts I'm wondering if a tool exists that allows one to export chosen table(s), along with associated metadata (hopefully automatic incorporation of associated triggers etc) to an export file and then add (import) this data to another Oracle Database?
Looking at remote application development on specific data on a 'standalone' PC running Oracle XE at home.

Hi,
well there is only a version of datapump.
You can set a 'VERSION' parameter for compatibility..

External editing and saving

For some reason pictures that I have edited in photoshop are no longer being saved to aperture. Before when I finished editing and saved an image it automatically went to the place where it was filed in aperture before I edited it. I am sure I have changed no settings and suddenly it stopped saving properly. I don't know how to get it set up to save the way it used to. Can anybody help? I have a project due and I can't seem to get past this.
Thank you.

This is probably not going to be any help, but just in case...
Are you at any point in your Photoshop editing work saving the file with a new or revised name -- intentionally or otherwise? And then not saving to a separate Finder file from which you can subsequently import that "new" (from Aperture's perspective) image into your Aperture Library, as either a Managed or Referenced file (depending on your workflow)?
I ask only because I frequently find myself creating a whole new file from versions of images I've sent to my External Editor (i.e. Photoshop) from Aperture -- an example being when I create a Photomerge. But also sometimes I end up wanting to save two different versions of the file while still in Photoshop. For those situations, I've created a folder on my Desktop called PICS TO IMPORT, and it's to that folder that any of those new or "Saved As" PS files get sent. Then, back in Aperture, I import those new PS files, (in my case using the "Move Files" option so they are placed into the correct sub-folders in my MASTER IMAGES folder, which my Aperture Library then references).
The only thing I have to remember (and which I occasionally forget when I'm in a hurry) is to navigate to that "PICS TO IMPORT" folder in Photoshop's Save dialog BEFORE saving the new/revised file for the first time, otherwise it will be saved by Photoshop to the default location, which is deep within that MASTER IMAGES folder (wherever the files reside which Aperture used to create the original Exports for the External Editor). That means when I return to Aperture, I can't see the new PS file, since I still haven't officially imported it yet.
Whereas if I just send a jpg from Aperture to my External Editor, and simply keep saving that new .psd version "as is" in Photoshop (no changes or revisions to the file name), then every time I flip back to Aperture, all my Photoshop revisions (up to my last save in PS) are reflected in the .psd file now residing in a Stack right next to the original jpg which "gave birth" to it.
Again, I've no idea if any of this is even germane to the problem you're having, but I hope maybe it might at least spark an idea.
Good luck!

How to render our and export INDIVIDUAL clips on a sequence timeline

I searched, but can't seem to find exactly what i want which i am sure is simple.
I have a batch of clips shot underwater. I took them into FCP and colored them and set in/outs; set them on the timeline for color correction etc...Now in the sequence i have all of my clips colored and timed as i want them from this dive and i want to export them as INDIVIDUAL clips since these are merely color corrected Prores 422HQ clips (original media was red 4k) ....I will (once exported as individual clips) ingest and categorize each clip for my stock library. So all i am trying to do is get my color and time corrected clips out of the sequence or rather render them out as individual clips so i can file them on FCP server.
thanks in advance for you assistance yet again

Hi -
Here is another way, that will do it as a batch -
Go to your project browser and create a new (empty) bin - you can call it "Export Clips".
Click anywhere on your timeline and type Command + A to select all the clips.
Drag the selected clips from the timeline into your newly created "Export Clips" bin.
You will see a Creating Master Clips dialog box while it is transferring the clips.
Now Control - Click on the "Export Clips" Bin and from the drop down menu choose Batch Export.
Click on the Settings button at the bottom of the Batch Export window and make sure you set your destination for your clips as well as checking the Use In and Out checkbox:
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/BatchExportUseInOut.jpg!
Otherwise it will export the entire source clip, not just the portion on your timeline -
When all set, press the Export button at the bottom of the Batch Export window and you should be good to go.
Hope this helps.

Photoshop bug: Smart Objects overwriting other Smart Objects when edited and saved in Illustrator

Experiencing issues when working with a large number (over 200) vector smart objects brought into Photoshop CS4 from Illustrator.
Things seemed to be going along nicely; if I needed to edit a Smart Object, I could double-click it, it would open in Illustrator and then I could edit and save it. Return to Photoshop and the Smart Object is updated. Swell and dandy. The issue started happen when I hit a large quantity of either vector smart objects (remember, over 200) or the many layers and groups within Photoshop (must be over 500). When I would double-click, open, edit, and save the vector Smart Object, the Photoshop Smart Object I was working on would update AND another/several other Smart Objects would update as well. Which, of course, would ruin the artwork, as suddenly I was seeing several instances of the same object. If it hadn't have been for ForeverSave, I many not have recovered the work.
It's rather hard to isolate the issue to see what's causing the problem. Here are some of the possible causes:
Running Snow Leopard on Mac
Many, many Smart Objects in file, perhaps enough to ruin the naming convention and cause bugs when Photoshop referenced the temp file
Many, many Photoshop layers and groups
Illustrator vector files copy+pasted from several different files (affects the naming convention perhaps?)
Some groups/layers in Photoshop are duplicates
To help make it a little clearer, you should know:
Running the most updated software / OS (that is until CS5 comes out)
Smart Objects showed no error until I had actually opened, edited, and saved the referenced temp file (i.e. VectorSmartObject1.ai)
Files saved and worked on from Dropbox (network folder)
Not looking for much of an answer to this question; I just wanted to see if anyone else had come across this bug. Also, Adobe PLEASE look into this as you begin testing for the next update. I have the file(s) if you need to replicate the issue. My best guess is that the naming convention of Vector Smart Objects has an odd character limit so when Vector Smart Object 200.ai is saved, Vector Smart Object 2.ai gets overwritten.

Have you tested this with Photoshop CS5 and Illustrator CS5? (the current versions, that came out last month)
If you duplicated a smart object layer, both layers refer back to the same file content. So when you change the file, both layers would be updated. That is intentional and explained in your manual. If you didn't realize this, that could explain what you are seeing.
If you placed separate files, then they should not be updated at the same time, because they will refer to separate files.
Yes, Smart Objects only update when you save the file.
You would need over 4 billion smart objects in one document to get Photoshop confused about which one refers to which file. And since the layer limit is much less than 4 billion, I doubt that is the cause.
There is no naming convention involved. We don't limit the filenames (except to platform standards and to include a file type extension).

Vignetting added and color adjusted immediately post import into lightroom5.
My photos from my most recent trip, when imported into Lightroom, have a heavy vignette very close to all 4 corners of the photo, and seem to have some small adjustments being done to them immediately when I import. The thumbnail looks great, and when i import --> then select it to open it as if I was going to view it full size in Lightroom, it looks great [no vignetting or tone/color adjustment] for about 1-2 seconds while a 'loading' footer is shown, following which the color is slightly altered and the vignetting is added (at this point then the thumbnail changes as well). This is a significant and noticable change to the photo. The pictures also do not have these issues if I view them through any other software. I have Can any one help me figure out what is causing this and remove it?
I shoot

shoot in RAW (.ARW)
use the standard sony kit lens that comes with the camera bundle, lens SELP1650 (3.5-5.6/16mm-50mm)
edit on Windows 7 64bit with Lightroom5
and don't believe I've adjusted any camera settings since last taking pictures 1 week ago with the exact same lens. I looked at photos from my last trip (only one week ago), and none of them are having these or an alterations/changes upon import.

Maximum file size for importing into Premiere Pro CS6

Hi,
I'm considering recording raw video, no compression at 720p, 30 fps for 20-30 min. This woudl result in a file that is close to 80 Gbytes. I'm wondering what the maximum file size for importing into premiere Pro is and if I need to split this file up into smaller pieces. Any recommendations on how I may deal with uncompressed raw video that is pretty long in length?
Thanks,
Serena

There is bound to be some limit somewhere in the program, but you should be well below that. The biggest issue might be whether your computer is up to the task of handling it. If you will post your computer specs., someone will give you comments on that aspect.
Good luck,

Break mail into "chunks" for importing into Entourage?

Hello,
I currently have a mail.app account that is around 10GB in size. Mail.app is giving our studio far too much trouble (especially when upgrading from 1.0 to 2.0) and we're switching to Entourage. The problem I'm having right now is that Entourage limits its mail database to 4GB, thus I can't import my mail.app account. Is there a way to break up my mail.app account into more manageable (3GB) chucks for importing into Entourage?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Kristin.

OPEN LETTER TO THE MAIL 2.0 CODING TEAM. RSVP.
with thanks to DAVID GIMENO GOST, for answering so many people's posts about all the mail 2.0 bugs.
hi guys,
i love all things apple, and i have done for twenty years.
but with respect, your build of mail 2.0 really could be a lot better.
moving my mail from 1.0 on an ibook g3 running os X 10.3.9, over to mail 2.0 on an intel macbook 1.83 running os X 10.4.7 has been a nightmare.
the discussion boards of many mac sites feature countless cases of people making the move from 1.0 to 2.0, with all their e-mails disappearing.
having spent two weeks reading the knowledge forums, and learning about emailchemy, plus all the complications which, even with that third party program, still exist in moving one's mail over from version 1.0 over to 2.0, are both massive and horrendous.
and that's for me, who has twenty years of finding my way around mac bugs.
but this one is the most difficult i've ever seen, as well as being one of the most widespread problems in a FULL VERSION RELEASE of an apple program, which apple has done nothing to resolve during the six months in which this problem has been widespread in the mac community worldwide.
so thank god for DAVID GIMENO GOST !
i'm amazed that apple still hasn't come up with a patch for moving mail from 1.0 to 2.0.
even now, while i've finally got all my mail back today, 95% is showing as unread, due to the last obstacles in the process, which i can no longer face solving.
i've also lost hundreds of red mail flags during the transfer :o(.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, guys:
we shouldn't need to be buying third party software to move our e-mails from apple mail 1.0 up to apple mail 2.0, and even then be faced by massive hurdles to overcome, which take weeks for someone who at least has SOME idea of what he's doing.
i pity all the people who read the numerous forum posts about how difficult it is to transfer their mail from 1.0 to 2.0, and simply give up on the spot, and have to start their e-mail history TODAY, unable to access their previous e-mail again - potentially now for ever.
because the ironic joke is that we can't even have an access copy of mail 1.0 on our macs to read our old e-mails, unless we hack that program out of the 10.3 cd installation set, which the gurus on your own web site recommend us NOT to do !
so what are we supposed to do, to access our old e-mail, which we can't open, even though YES, it is in our mail folder, and YES, we did full rebuilds of every mail folder, and YES, we trashed our mail preferences first.
e-mail is now at the very center of the average mac user's digital life.
a user's most important program should not require countless hours scrolling through the astonishing number of problems within mail 2.0, which the apple.com discussion boards evidence, with new problems being added every day.
please sort this out, and build a patch, for the sanity of the many people who love apple, but who are unable to access any of their old e-mails.
because i wouldn't wish the last fortnight on anyone else.
RSVP, APPLE.
with best wishes to everyone on the infinity loop,

ps: if you're a mac user who has been affected by the mail 2.0 disappearing bug, please post a reply to this message, and send me an e-mail to: [email protected], so that we can draw apple's increasing attention to it. thanks.

Transport Request is not flagged for import into production.

When I try to migrate a CR from the quality system to the acceptance system, through solution manager system, the status flag still remains to be "To be tested" which normally does not happen.
I get 4 warnings as below:
1) Status was reset by system
2) No import into test system has taken place.
3) Transport request is not flagged for import into production
4) The tester role cannot be the same as the developer role.
Usually when a CR is selected for migration to Acceptance, the status flag automatically sets to "productive", which in turn depicts that the CR has been migrated to acceptance and is ready for import into production.
But when I check the Transport log in the acceptance system, it is evident that the CR has been migrated to acceptance with errors.

I guess these errors you mentioned are the reason why ChaRM reports your transprot request as
2) No import into test system has taken place.
1) Status was reset because 2) is not fullfilled.
3) did not get flagged because status was not set due to previous errors.
4) business partner of user with function "tester" (apparently the one who tries to set status) is the same as the business partner assigned to function "developer". If it should be the same person you can switch off the warning in customizing.
Try to correct import errors and repeat status switch.
