Embedding Adobe Story file in video via OnLocation

I do not see how to embed an Adobe Story ASTX file into a clip via OnLocation. The Adobe Story Help file says "see Integration with OnLocation and Premiere Pro." But that section is not in the help file.

This is not supported in OnLocation CS4. In case you have access to any pre-release builds of OnLocation CS5, please write to us at adobe dot story at adobe dot com mentioning the build number and we can guide you through the process.
Hope this helps.

Issues with attaching an Adobe Story File to a clip in PPCC

Hi,
I read through a lot of stuff and watched a couple videos but still have an issue with the attachment.
What I do is I go into the Metadata and assign my scene number (3.01). I export the script as a .astx. File/right click, attach story file-> select the file go back to metadata and it tells me nothing found. This is really frustrating what's wrong with it?

Worked this one out, I had the bullet set on file and not staging

Adding multiples to clips in Prelude from a Adobe Story file.

I am organizing, commenting, adding metadata and other general functions to my footage that Prelude wonderfully executes. I also have a script written in Adobe Story that I have opened in Prelude to add scene info and dialogue from there. Everything is working great except when I try to drag multiple items from the Adobe Script window to the clips.
I have a basic script that appears this way in my Story Window in Prelude,
Scene No    |              Scene
1.                     INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT
2.                     INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
3                      INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT
4.                     INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
etc, etc.
The general issue is that most of my footage from the BEDROOM and LIVING room scene were shot in long takes using dialoque from the multiple 'scene numbers' that story has them broken into. So when I try to drag Scene No 4 - INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT scene onto the clip that already has a Scene No 2 - INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT they just overwrite one another.
Is this an issue I need to solve in Story so all of the same scene is not broken down into multiple scene numbers? Or is it an issue that can be solved in Prelude.
Thank you for any help or advice.

Hi,
Thank you for your post.
Currently Prelude as well as Premiere pro doesn't support applying multiple scenes to one clip, so the new applied scene will overwrite the previous one. For now, please consolidate the scenes in Story. In the meantime, you can send the feature request via http://adobe.com/go/wish .

Do ADOBE STORY files save to your computer?

If so where can you find them and what are they called?

Adobe Story AIR application saves files on disc but not in a human readable form. If you want to save a script in human readable (XML) form then use File->Save to disk. Do note that the generated story document is just a snapshot and doesn't update automatically as you modify the original script in Story.

Cannot open embedded Adobe PDF files in Safari 5.1

I am disgusted to find that Apple has removed Safari's ability to open embedded PDF files in Safari 5.1. This is a huge mistake by Apple, and the only work around from Adobe was to use a different browser.
Get on the ball, Apple!!! Fix your MISTAKES!!!

Ah...this is an Adobe issue, not Apple.

Adobe Story integration with OnLocation - Shot List

I'm trying to export a script from Adobe Story and import it into OnLocation but I can't seem to get 'shot' elements made in Story to become 'shot placeholders' in OnLocation. All I've been able to get OnLocation to recognize is entire scenes, but not elements into individual shot placeholders.
Does Story/OnLocation support drafting a shotlist in Story and turning into shot placeholders in OnLocation? Is there any news on some of the potential features mentioned in this thread about shot elements that are linked or layered in some way so you don't have to maintain multiple documented for shot lists and screenplays?
sl

As of right now shots entered in Story do not end up as shot placeholders in OnLocation. We only support converting Scenes->shot placeholders.
We see your point though and add it to the list of things to do.

Adobe Story Script integration with Premiere Pro Doesnt allow me to embed the script

Goal: Embed an Adobe Story Script into Premiere Pro. (mac)
Method: I have a video with a verbatim transcript.
I inport the transcript into Adobe Story and save it in the proper Adobe Story File extension (.astx)
I save it to the Adobe cloud and I have also exported it to my desktop.
I launch Premiere Pro and import the video that I have transcribed.
The I try one of 3 ways to get the script to the video in PP.
The first steps are the same as below:
I go to Adobe Story and log in from within PP.
I locate the file.
I add a Scene.
I make sure the scene is the same as it is within PP
then...
1.
I drag and drop it onto the Movie file.
Nothing appears within the Embed Adobe Story Script Meta Data field.
2.
I click on Analyze and the Embed Adobe Story Script script checkbox remains greyed out (Unable to select it)
If I click Analyze then PP will analyze the script (does a decent job) but this is NOT what I want. I want to attach the verbatim script to the video which is why I have it transcribed.
3.
Right click on the movie file within PP and the contextual menu allows me to attach a script.
I locate my downloaded .astx file on my Mac and select it.
Still nothing appears within the Embed Adobe Story Metadata field.
I have worked with Anand from support who suggested I post this question here.
I dont know if there are only certain Adobe templates for which this will work (ie TV script, Film etc)
He suggested that this would most likely work only for the .mov file formats, but then discovered that it should work even for .mp4 files.
In any case - if anyone has any thoughts, ideas, or has experience with this It would be greatly appreciated.

Hi!
I'm getting crazy on this. I'm following the worflow suggested in the video (create a script in Story with the clip transfer, import the clip to Premier, dragging the script to the clip). The clip has the scene number corresponding to the script.
Unfortunately, nothing happens. The "attached script" is empty. And if I do the spech analysis it takes a lot of time (about three times as the original video, although I'm trying to suply a literal transcript).
BTW, what I'm trying to do is to edit the videos from the scripts. I'm working on a documentary, with a lot of footage (30 x 2hs interviews). If I can create the script combining pieces of the inverviews in Story, and then importing it into Premiere. Anybody done something similar?

Adobe Story Interchange Format ASTX Specifications

I am looking for the document specification for the ASTX format. I am building an iPad application and want to be able to import my scripts from Story and export changes back to Story. Is this the proper forum to discuss such an endeavor? And are there other users interested in collaborating to build this application?

I know this is a standard XML formatted document I was just hoping to get the standardize data objects and properties to make it easier to understand what comes accross from Story to OnLocation during a file export. I am working on a tool that allows additional data items to be added to the Story file before importing into OnLocation to be synchronized with the footage.

Having problems attaching a transcript to a Video clip using Adobe Story and Prelude.

The company I work for is about to begin editing a documentary with several large interviews so we thought attaching the interview transcripts to the video clips would improve our workflow. Today we began testing the process with some of our old media and transcripts. We are able to attach the transcript we created in Adobe story Script to the video clip in prelude as well as run the speech analysis command. But the problem is that the speech analysis completely ignores/changes the transcript we attached to the video file and creates its own (incorrect) transcript, with at best only a string of a few words matching the audio and the rest is jibberish created by the program.
I was under the impression that the program would match as many key words as possible and then kind of fill in the blanks with the provided transcript but it is actually creating its own transcript. Is this how the program works or am I missing a step or two? Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It seems that the Clip metadata has the script info because you are able to see the 'Shot Location' field populated by the Scene heading info.
In the Dynamic Media section of the metadata panel where you see the Shot location field, if you scroll down, you would see the 'Script' section, you would be able to see the 'Dialog' metadata embedded there. This is important, please do check and let me know.
About how this works: "Speech Analysis engine uses the Adobe Story script as a reference script. When Adobe Premiere Pro finds enough matches with the embedded script, it replaces the analyzed speech text with the embedded script text. Adobe Premiere Pro carries over the correct spelling, proper names, and punctuation from the reference script, benefits that standard speech analysis cannot provide."
FInd more info here > http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS1c9bc5c2e465a58a91cf0b1038518aef7-7d0fa .html
Having said so please note that the quality of the speech analysis also depend on the clarity of the speaker, background noise in the footage and the quality of the recording.

Is OnLocation available with CC service? I want to use it with Adobe Story.

Is OnLocation available with CC service? I want to use it with Adobe Story.
I have never had a copy of OnLocation, but it looks to be a great way to manage Adobe Story and the workflow for shoots.
Is there something else that is exports to that works similar to OnLocation?
help

I see that I can view Adobe Story in two locations of Premiere Pro. As a window and under File, Adobe Story (which is usually grayed out).
I have exported the script as an .astx, Opened PP and clicked file, Adobe Story, Attach Script File ; then I am not sure what to do to see it.
I clicked on Metadata but there is nothing there.
The Window, Adobe Story shows dialog and scene no. and est duration. Is that all I should see? Why the Attach Script File option? And what about seeing the schedule?
Thx Troy

OLE embedded Adobe Illustrator Artwork files not rendering properly

I'm using BroadVision's Quicksilver. I've attempted to embed AI Artwork
files as OLE objects (linked and not linked), but they don't render within
Quicksilver. After working with their support team, they came to the
conclusion that it was an Adobe Illustrator issue because they were
able to reproduce the issue in Wordpad (not MS Word).
The problem can be reproduced by the following steps (tested in Vista,
XP, & Server 2008):
:- Open Wordpad
:- Click Insert -> Object -> Create From File -> Browse -> Find and select a file -> Open
Other variations on this theme encounter the same problem, including
pasting it from the clipboard.
If you open a Wordpad document in MS Word and embed the OLE
object, it saves a preview of the image which is visible from Wordpad
if you open it later on (as long as you don't link to the original; if you do,
and attempt to update the link, the preview image will go away). However,
subsequent alterations of the OLE object don't show up in Wordpad -- rather,
the image that was rendered in Word continues to be displayed (unless, of
course, you open it in MS Word again and re-save after the link is updated).
It appears the support team at another company encountered a user
experiencing the same or similar issues with their product, but on
Illustrator CS2 as opposed to CS4:
http://www.graphpad.com/faq/viewfaq.cfm?faq=1309
Unfortunately, the "export to another format" workaround won't suffice.
We're working with thousands of Illustrator artwork files that need to be
version controlled, and other technical documents will link to the same
Illustrator file. When an AI file is updated, all technical documents
need to use the altered version; linking to an exported version of the
file just creates one more link in the chain that can create problems
or confusion.
Even if the version control stuff wasn't an issue, exporting to other
formats seems rather limited. If we export to other formats (eg, pdf)
the images render poorly compared to what they look like in AI.
We've tried a number of things to work around this:
* Make sure AI [is/is not] already running
* Rasterize paths
* Alter the size of the image in AI
* Alter the size of the object in the target application
* 'Save as' with a different version of AI selected (for all versions)
* Saving as an EPS or PDF -- the former has the same rendering issue
as AI files; the latter renders but the drawing is blocky, probably because
the graphics are being rendered at a very low resolution and scaled up
after the fact.
* Looking for or changing preferences in Illustrator that might affect it
* Altering color scheme and various other similar settings
* CS5 trial version -- same problem as CS4
* Save the [wordpad] document -> close -> re-open
* Switching between 'display as icon' and displaying the image
* Copy & paste from various sources (from AI -> Wordpad,
MS Word -> Wordpad, etc)
The only way I can get it to render in Wordpad (or quicksilver for that matter)
is if I embed the AI file in a Word/RTF document, then embed that in
the target application (which is awfully convoluted). Furthermore, if the
embedded Word/RTF file links to the original file, when you open the
document containing the embedded Word/RTF it doesn't attempt to
update from the linked AI file, just the linked Word/RTF file.
I'm sure there's other things we've tried to resolve this, but that's what comes
to mind right now.
If anyone can help with this, or clue me in that it's a bug in AI, I'd sincerely
appreciate it.

Well, no offense
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
None taken. I'm helping someone else solve a technical problem, I'm just not questioning their approach; I'm not a tech writer, so I'll pass your suggestions on.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
(...) you are trying to solve one hell of a crooked workflow on the wrong end and the one fatal flaw being that you insist on using an office tool to create layouts and expecting it to render print-ready documents. That just cannot work. Even the most stubborn tech writers I occasionally work with, recognize the need for eventually firing this at InDesign/ InCopy/ Framemaker and associated server versions and fuse the imported RTF/ Word documents and illustrations based on template layouts, scripting and rule-based formatting, which can all happen automnatically on a server with the respective software.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
I was mistaken when I described how things are version controlled. They would prefer to embed the AI images in each document and have each document be version controlled (that is, if the image changes it should /not/ affect other documents).
However, I wasn't mistaken when I said there are thousands of already developed AI images. The team working with these images has already procured a volume license for Framemaker and is hesitant to purchase other software unless there's no alternative, or the time savings would justify it. I wish I could comment on the efficacy of your suggestion, but I'm not a tech writer; I'm unfamiliar with InDesign, InCopy, and FrameMaker.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
So for what it's worth, you are probably wasting your time and resources on something that by its nature starts out with a limited process. I'm not even sure if AI fully supports OLE. I seem to remember having read about it not supporting several features and commands....
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
If we export to other formats (eg, pdf) the images render poorly compared to what they look like in AI.
What do you mean? If they look "bad" in Acrobat or something, then you are simply using the wrong export settings. which is perfectly fixable.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
In Acrobat the SV graphics look beautiful at any scale, but if the PDF is OLE embedded in another application it looks terrible.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
If they look "bad" within your word documents, then we pretty much return to what I said in the first paragraph - there's a good chance it's simply Word rendering the artwork poorly due to its limited abilities of dealing with graphics of any kind. I would even think that manually changing the graphics properties would improve appearance then....
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
I'm not an expert on OLE; I made the [potentially bad] assumption that Acrobat would be responsible for rendering the graphic when a PDF is OLE embedded, so the application making use of the object would have limited control over the quality of the image it receives (if my assumption were correct anyway).
I know the host process can specify whether the image is rendered as an EMF or WMF image, otherwise I know very little about the OLE API and what limitations the host process can impose.
I'll keep tinkering to see if the PDF solution can be made to work.
In the meantime, would anyone like to make a determination as to whether this is a real bug in AI or not?

Where are the Adobe Story app files stored on my computer?

I can't afford to subscribe (especially to a program I already paid for), but I really need the files that I was working on in Story offlline before the subscription-only lockdown. I've already talked to tech support who said there's no way I can access the Story AIR application on my PC, but I absolutely need those files, so I will dig through XML or whatever format to get the info I need.
Please help!

Hey,
At the moment I keep getting an error saying "The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author".
I haven't fixed this problem yet though I've tried downloading the AIR3.3 like the other discussions say, though I don't think I even had AIR3.4 on my computer and it was working fine a month or so ago. Having said that I really want the offline files from Adobe Story as well so I can keep working on them whilst I try and fix the above problem. Any help in this area would be appreciated.
Thanks
