Export a batch action/list?

Is it possible to save a batch action to a file, and then import that action to another user's computer?
For example, Photoshop has an action list and you can export 1 action or a set of actions, then import it to another machine very easily (using save/load). I would like to do the same thing. If it's impossible, this is a major oversight.
Thanks,
Chris

Batch sequences are saved locally as SEQU files, which can be copied from one computer to another.
To find out the exact location(s) of these files on your computer, run this from the JavaScript console:
app.getPath("app","sequences");
app.getPath("user","sequences");

  • Final Cut Crashes when I try to export a batch list - help!

    I'm doing a very large documentary project and each tape has extensive log notes. I use the batch list function to export tabbed text files and convert them to excel - very useful in the creative process when figuring out story structure etc.
    But now every time I try to export a batch list final cut crashes - any ideas on how to get around this?
    please help.

    Are you batch exporting the enrire project maybe?
    Might try selecting just your capture bins and trying to batch export those. Could be a sequence or graphic file making it go kookoo.
    If the sheer size of it is making FCP choke you could try selecting a single bin and then doing batch export. Do that for all your bins and assemble them in excel.

  • Exporting a batch list of a FCP Sequence

    Hello,
    I am trying to find a way to export a batch list of a sequence from FCP, with TC and reels etc. I've exported clips and subclips bins as batch lists without problem for import onto an AVID.
    Is there a way, ANY WAY, to export a sequence as a batch list, EDL... ?

    If you are transfering a project to an Avid, Automatic Duck is, without a doubt, the best way to go.
    If you can't afford that, you can always go the EDL route, select your sequence (make sure all your video is on one layer, or if necessary, export separate lists for each layer) and select Export EDL...

  • Custom fields to change the actions ;list

    Dear all,
    I had put a custom check box in the new custom tab.
    Based on this check box value I want to set the actions in the action list.
    for example ...say the custom check box is 'Approval required' . if this is checked only then the action list should have action as Approved ...otherwise not.
    This is field is created in the crmd_customer_h table thru the structure.
    Now I have created a parameter in the container editor like the same screen field (with import and export options checked) and in the condtions for this action, I have written to display this action only if this parameter has the value 'X'.
    Its not working.please advice me how to proceed.
    Also can we set the break point here.
    thanks
    regards
    sanjeev

    Hi,
    please use BADI CONTAINER_PPF to fill the value of your parameter.

  • Batch Actions CS5!!!

    I'm having major issues with Mac Photoshop CS5 Batch Actions.
    Before I begin, I have:
    -  Downloaded the latest patch
    And I cannot:
    -  Use an older version of CS
    That being said:
    Batch processing does not seem to work no matter what I do and droplets do really odd things - or don't run the action at all.
    Basically, I need to automatically open files at 300 dpi, resize, change background color (all fine) - and here's the major problem - export as optimized JPEGs with the original file name (just .jpg obviously).
         -  By the way, does anyone know how to change that "File Open Options" default???  It opens PDF's at 300 dpi by default, but I need to open/rasterize AI files at 300.  It does not remember my last setting and there seems to be no way to change it - MUCH appreciated if anyone knows!!!
    Anyway, issues:
    - It only works if I open the files one at a time and hit "play" on my action.
    - If I use Batch, it:
         -  Comes up with a new file name for my file.
              -  Even if "Suppress Action Save" is selected, even when it is not selected.
              -  Even when Save and Close is selected
              -  Even when None is selected
         -  Opens each file, creates two different file names, then won't save a third at all and starts rewriting over the first two..???
    -  If I create a Droplet, it:
         -  Doesn't run the action at all
         -  Does the same wonky things as the Batch.
    My workload dictates that I process hundreds of files with this action in various permutations every day.  I've seen other answers which include "just keep pressing the play button one at a time" - that is what I'm doing now and it's too time consuming.  Also, it makes no sense to me that it works as an action with no problems, but the batch process keeps messing it up!   At any rate, I cannot stop at every file and select - yes, open at 300 dpi, yes, open at 300 dpi - click the action and wait for the save to finish so I'm hoping someone knows how to get this to work properly.
    I've put a small screen grab below of the basic action.  Please give me the magic settings to make the batch part work???
    Thank you in advance!!!!!

    Ok, we're getting there!  The "Open As Smart Object" helped with the 
    300 dpi problem (yeeeeah!).
    The last part - I don't know if we can fix this.
    The file naming convention for this company is:
    AAA####AAAA.######.jpg
    So basically it's a long alphanumeric with a period IN the file name.  
    (I know, stupid, but that's the way it is).
    When I run the "Save for Web" option and do nothing with the file 
    name, it truncates my file name and removes all the numbers after the 
    period.
    So it looks like this:
    Original:  wes0140cmyk.693876.eps
    Final:     wes0140cmyk.jpg
    Any way we can get that not to happen?
    Thanks you've been enormously helpful!
    Quoting MTSTUNER <[email protected]>:
    For eps files try an open as generic eps step at the beginning of the action
    and for the export step (save for web), don't change the name  
    suggested by the
    save for web dialog and save to the folder where you want eps files saved.
    Leave the other steps including the close without saving step.
    http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/51211/eps1.png
    Set the batch dialog as below and the create droplet dialog in a similar way.

  • Batch Action Ai. to PNG

    Hi All,
    Hopefully someone could help me....I am trying to run a batch process from illustrator cs3 saving a png image.

Is there a way around this?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Batch Capture Lists Using Numbers

    Has anyone been able to use Numbers to create a batch capture list for Final Cut Pro? I was able to do this all the time with Excel, just export as a tab-delimited file, then import that file into FCP. It's an easy way to log footage to perform a batch capture later on. Numbers won't export as a tab-delimited file. And I've tried exporting as a csv, but FCP doesn't recognize that file type. I love the simplicity and interface of the iWork suite much better than Office, I don't want to reinstall Excel just to use it for that one purpose.

    No can do!
    Just hit this problem myself, today. Numbers does not have a tab-delimited output format option. I suggest we make an enhance request to Apple, against Numbers, for this obvious omission.
    So, anyway, it is easy to post-process a CSV file into a tab-delimited file. It is just an extra step
    Aside from using the "Find And Replace" functionality within a text editor, this can be readily accomplished on a terminal command line, for those comfy in that environment:
    cat LOGFILE.csv | sed 's/,/<tab>/g' > LOGFILE.txt
    Where I put "<tab" above, type a tab character instead.
    Have fun,

    Hello
    If I understand well you wish to extract the contents of a group of cells as a TAB delimited file.
    An easy way would be
    select the block of cells
    Copy to clipboard (cmd + c)
    Create a blank Pages document
    Paste (cmd + v)
    Export the document as text file.
    You may also use this script which is really easy to use.
    Paste the script in a blank window of Script Editor
    Save it as an application named cells2TSV.app
    Move the newly created application into the folder:
    <startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications
    Now, enter your Numbers Table.
    Select the range of cells which you want to export
    Copy to the clipboard
    Now, go to
    menu Scripts > cells2TSV
    You will get on the desktop a Tab Separated Values file named:
    -- (SCRIPT cells2TSV.app]
    property nomDuRapport : "wasCellsnowTSV.txt"
    set rapport to the clipboard as Unicode text
    set p2d to path to desktop
    set p2r to (p2d as Unicode text) & nomDuRapport
    tell application "System Events" to if exists (file p2r) then delete (file p2r)
    tell application "Finder" to set NewDoc to make new file at p2d with properties {name:nomDuRapport}
    write rapport to (NewDoc as alias)

  • Issue in Exporting the Sales Price List and Purchase Price List for the Materials from SAP Business ByDesign (SAP Cloud)

    Hello Everyone,
    I would like to have a discussion on the issues, which I am facing at the time of Exporting the Sales Price List and Purchase Price List for the Materials from
    SAP Business ByDesign (SAP Cloud).
    (1). Sales Price List :
    We have maintained Customer Group Specific Sales Price List for the Materials in the following Location.
    Location :         Product and Service Portfolio Work Center > Pricing > Price Lists > Customer Group Specific Price List (Type of Price List)
    Target :             We want to export the entire records in some reports or excel sheet.
    Records :          Number of Materials in the Customer Group Specific Price List is more than 2,00,000
    Issues : 
                                         (A). In the SAP Business ByDesign Screen we can filter by number of records but we can export till  50,000 records.
                                                 And if we are trying to export records more than that limit, then it throws "HTTP 500 Internal Server Error".
                                         (B). We could not find any SAP standard reports in Product and Service Portfolio and/or Business Analytics Work Center
                                                for getting the entire record set of the Sales Price List, so that we can have the entire set of records together.
    Searching For :
                                          (A). Is there any SAP reports or data source available for getting the entire Sales Price List records?
                                          (B). Can we have any other filter conditions for exporting the Sales Price List records in a single shot or module wise?
    (2). Purchase Price List :
    We have maintained the Purchase Price List for the Materials in the following Location.
    Location :           Product Portfolio Work Center > List Prices > Active List Prices (Type of Price List)
    Target :               We want to export the entire records in some reports or excel sheet.
    Records :            Number of Materials in the Purchase Price List is more than 4,00,000.
    Issues :  
                                           (A). In the SAP Business ByDesign Screen we can not see more than 10,000 records and the actual number of
                                                   records are more than 4,00,000. We could able to download the records till 10,000 but that is not sufficient.
                                                   We want to export the entire records in an excel sheet.
                                           (B). We could not find any SAP standard reports in Product Portfolio and/or Business Analytics Work Center for
                                                  getting the entire record set of the Purchase Price List, so that we can have the entire set of records together.
    Searching For :
                                           (A). Is there any SAP reports or data source available for getting the entire Purchase Price List records?
                                           (B). Can we have any other filter conditions for exporting the Purchase Price List records in a single shot or module wise?

  • Photoshop CC 2014 has lost all my custom settings, all my batch actions, all my custom desktops. Can't I import them from previous PSCC, or do I have to create everything over again?

    Photoshop CC2014 has just been installed earlier today, and it won't access all of my custom settings from the previous PSCC. I constantly use Batch Actions, always work in custom workspaces, and they're all gone. I can't find an option to retrieve them from the previous version, which seems ridiculous. It will take at least a full day's work to recreate this stuff that's sitting right there in the previous version. Isn't there someway to "update" the new version with my custom batches and workspaces at least?

    how do you get to user library preferences.  can't find it in the c drive
    The terms you used, "user library" and "c drive" are from Mac and PC architectures respectively.  Read the information at the link I posted more carefully - there are different sections for Mac and PC.
    Keep in mind the AppData folder is usually hidden by Microsoft,
    Also know that Adobe hasn't updated that page to include specific locations for CC 2014, so you have to look around just a bit when you get to the deepest folder.
    As an example, here's where my preferences are on Windows 8.1:

  • Why can't I do batch actions from CS4 or CS5 Bridge now when I could before?

    Something has changed in my functions for doing batch actions in Bridge.  In CS5 Bridge I try to do a simple batch action of saving a DNG file as a jpg and closing the file.  When I attempt this I get a message saying 'The command "Save" is currently not available.
    I try to do the same thing in CS4 Bridge.  I go to the Tools menu and look for Photoshop in the drop down menu but it's not there.  This is how I do batch action processing with my Windows version of CS4 Bridge.  I am confused about what has changed when I was able to do batch actions routinely in CS4 and CS5 Bridge on my Mac.

    Something has changed in my functions for doing batch actions in Bridge.  In CS5 Bridge I try to do a simple batch action of saving a DNG file as a jpg and closing the file.  When I attempt this I get a message saying 'The command "Save" is currently not available.
    Batch using tools menu from Bridge to reach Photoshop should work as expected in both CS4 and CS5. If not then there is something wrong on either your system or install.
    Go to Bridge CS5 preference and look for the section Start Up Scripts and see if there is still a Start Up Script for Photoshop CS5 present and with a checkmark in front for activation. If not try first to restart bridge holding down option key and choose refresh preferences. This should retrieve the original Start Up scripts again.
    If your command save as is not available check the action and see what the save path for that acton is. If it is a copied action from an other system changes are that it still contains the save path for the old drive and if the script can't find it it provides a warning message.
    Also check if the drive you save to has both read and write permission.

  • Exporting DI batch to BAT and set DI parameter/variable at run time

    Hi All,
    We are looking to call DI batch job externally and pass parameter/variable at run time.
    We tried exporting DI batch to a bat file and setting substitution parameters during export.
    In the exported .bat file, it references a .txt file which shows the name of the substitution paramemters but the value of the parameters are encrypted.
    Does anyone know how to pass parameter/variable to a DI batch job at run time externally?
    Thanks,
    Bobby

    I tried out this method and I have some additional issues.
    1. if we use the BOE scheduler the text parameter file is using a specific naming convention that is not clearly documented. it is like : -GV"$VAR=ENCRYPTEDVALUE;"... trying to modify it with a clear value like -GV"$VAR=MYVALUE;" was simply ignored by the scheduler... seems also that BOE did not sent any scheduling request to the DI Job Launcher...
    What is the proper convention please?
    2.Is there a better way to enter this parameter than editing the TXT file. Most of the BOE InfoView users are not allowed to modify or store documents.. This is not very convenient if they cannot enter simply the parameter values in a let say more confortable way...
    Thank you and cheers

  • Photoshop CS5 - Batch actions for PDF multipage files

    Good morning.
    One of my customer bring me a pdf files composed by 147 pages.
    Before I can print the whole file I had to remove a piece of the Header (common in every page at the same location) and a piece of the bottom left footer.
    What I did:
    - open a single page, create a new action -> select the area to be deleted, delete the content, select none, select the second area to be deleted, delete the area;
    - saved the action as "MyActionWillSaveMeLOTofTime";
    - File -> Automate -> Batch -> select folder with pdf file, select action and run
    Surprise surprise, pdf is not a supported file for batch.
    So I opened every single page (147!) with no-loss resolution (210x297mm @300dpi) (every file transformed into RASTER.... LOT OF TIME) than File->Automate->Batch->Action and Opened files as target.
    This way it worked... but it takes like 2 hours to finish, and every file needed the OK confirmation to save the file.
    After that I had to open Bridge CS5, select all saved files and put together again in a pdf.
    Result:
    - 2 hours of work with PC unable to perform any different action;
    - original pdf file 3.4MB -> final pdf file 98MB
    I wonder if there is a way with Photoshop and Bridge CS5 to avoid the raster process on the pdf pages so I don't need to waste time to perform similar action, because it seems my custome have a ton of other similar files...
    Or any other software that can do that (hopefully free, I can't buy an expensive program for that feature only).

    Hi,
    1. Why dont u try it in pdf itself?
    U can just crop the required area in pdf file using crop tool so it can be applied for all the pages at a time.
    2. If u trying to remove particular area on a pdf u can place a white box on that area using pitstop tool it can be saved as actionlist like batch processing and applied for any number of pages and files.
    Making this in pdf itself won't get u more file size. Size will be as equal as ur source file.

  • Batch action quit in same spot 2x in a row

    I'm running a batch action to make jpge previews of 10,000 Tiff files.
    First time I ran it, it quit after 3000 images.  I just deleted those and tried again,
    Woke up this morning and it quit right at the same place.
    How does one resume the batch where on image # 3001? thanks.

    The script folder would have had zero files as the ones that are ticked are located in different folders and they are for inter-comunication between apps.
    Yes that was a basic script Kevin, I have now uploaded a newer version that you can select files by file type and use subfolders if required. Have also implemented Fit Image so that Landscape and Portait can be different sizes.

    Adding a watermark is not possible in Bridge but it would still be faster to do that many files in two steps as Photoshop would not be opening huge files.
    I have another script for Photoshop "Picture Processor"

    This will do watermarking and unlike most it will watermark to a relative size of the document. It can overwrite the original documents so duplicating is not required.
    All in all they are just tools to help a workflow.

  • Export and import a list in sharepoint 2013

    I have an share point 2013 application which is an input wizard that allows user to enter some employe information and after user submits the same. these records are stored in form of sharepoint list.
    as part of load testing , I need to create this list with more than 100 records. i can use coded ui to enter information and create records, but this will take good amount of time.
    is there any way i can import the list to an excel and then add my test records using some  c# code and then import back the excel to share point list.
    Can any one help in this regard.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    There are many options we can select to import the excel file to SharePoint list.
    First option,  you can use the “Export to Excel” option to export the list items to a excel file, create records in the excel, then save the file to local machine.
    Now, you can use the “ Export Table to SharePoint List” option under the DESIGN table tool in the Excel to export the file to a new list in the SharePoint.
    You can also use Excel 2007 Add-in(it works in SharePoint 2013) to achieve the same function.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb462636%28v=office.11%29.aspx
    In SharePoint, we can also use the Import Spreadsheet app to import the Excel file to a new SharePoint list.
    Site Content->add an app->Import Spreadsheet
    What’s more, you can also use the SPImporter tool to import data to SharePoint.
    https://spimporter.codeplex.com/
    You can also import the Excel data to SharePoint list programmatically.
