Export edit parameters

Is there any way to export settings of a given effect for a clip; for example those associated with ultra key effect, or any other effect for that matter?
I would like to have a record of them for later use if necessary, e.g., the original project is not available.
Does this make sense?
Thanks.

Thanks Mark, for a helpful and intelligent reply.

Export/Import Parameters dissapear when using user-exit

I am using some import/export parameters in a dynamic action when I create a new record (infotype). I am also using a user exit to avoid modifying BEGDA and ENDDA when I modify the record (IPSYST = 'MOD'). Using this user-exit, the parameters dissapear from memory so the dynamic action does not execute well. What can I do to use the user-exit?? Anything to add?

In the dinamic actions when I create, I delimit records on infotype with export/import parameters defined in infotype Module Pool. When I delete, I avoid deleting the record if it is not the last one. With the user-exit the modification of begda endda in infotype is not allowed. If I use the user-exit, the dinamic actions which use export/import parameters, don't work.
I have tried to do in MP what I do in user-exit but it is not easy because I haven´t got in PSAVE what I want.

IPhoto 9.5.1 not exporting edits

I have used iPhoto for 4 yrs and purchased a new macbook over the holidays which runs Mavericks and iphoto 9.5.1.
On my new system everything worked fine for a few days but now suddenly when I edit a photo then file/export the edits are not exporting, just the original file. I have tried exporting as 'current', 'jpeg', etc....nothing is working.
Here is the kicker, it has randomly worked a couple times. I have yet to figure out what I am doing to trigger the edits to export. I have tried restarting iphoto, adjusting different edit items (crop + an adjustment as I saw in another thread), but I can't figure out the trigger.
HELP, I am pulling out my hair trying to get simple work done!
(note, I went back and also noticed edits are not saving in iphoto in general, if I go between photos in the event it reverts back to the original again)

Still not working...still completely random. I have run through all the suggested solutions multiple times.
Sometimes I import/edit/export no problems. Sometimes import/edit, and it doesn't export edits the first time, but if I go back adjust again it saves the second time (with no change in my process). Sometimes I can't get the edits to export at all after playing with the photo multiple times, reimporting, etc.
Even odder, sometimes the thumbnail in iPhoto adjust to the edits I have made and sometimes it doesn't. As in the thumbnail will change but it still won't export the edits.
I am trying to find a pattern so I can track the cause but seriously there is no consistancy. Most of the time I am just editing thumbnails for a video.
Process goes as follows:
-take a screenshot
-file/import to the library
-crop (and hit done)
-go to file/export
Pretty simple process. About 2 out of every 3 imports doesn't save the edits. Sometimes when I hit 'export' it says 'saving changes' before asking how I want to save, other times it doesn't. Whether it says 'saving changes' or not doesn't seem to effect if it actually saves the edits.
Today I pulled a screen shot in and it took 3 imports and half a dozen edits and suddenly it exported the cropped version. I didn't change anything I was running in the background, I worked on the same screenshot, same process. Finally on the 6th crop it exported the edit.
Off to find another program that is simple for these quick edits (I always used iphoto for simple crops and edits just because it was quick...ha!). If anyone has any other suggestions please let me know!

Is it possible to edit parameters of an object in the environment using a midi controller?

Is it possible to edit parameters of an object in the environment (such as the key parameter of a chord memorizer) using a midi controller?

Anyone know what I can do? Maybe even some kind of setup in the environment that will do this?
Thanks

Exporting edited ('current') photos at maximum quality?

I currently use iPhoto 9.5.1 (on OSX 10.9.1) to organize my photos and I use an external editor (Photoshop) to edit them.
When I get an image that I want to then use for something I take it out from the iPhoto library. Previously I did this with a simple drag and drop, but that functionality mysteriously and suddenly ceased. Now I use export current. (I don't want the orignal verison that has none of the photoshop work)
From what I understand, exporting the current photo exports the version from the preview folder.
Is this a full quality version that is exactly what I created in photoshop and saved? Compared to the file in the masters folder would it be the same quality?
In other words is there any loss in quality along this path and if so where does it occur (or is this not the path)?
Camera-> masters folder-> iphoto library -> external editor -> previews folder -> iphoto library -> export of current
I don't care so much about metadata and primarily care about the quality of the exported edited image. I use them for other purposes where metadata is irrelevant (like parts of a design or printing).

Thank you,
The question I have is in that tip you specifically mention that selecting 'current' as kind of export would export "the iPhoto Preview, a medium quality jpeg, it won't have all the metadata."
I did some tests with a tiff, png and jpeg file and found that this was not the case. The tif exported a tif, the png export a png and the jpeg export something closer to the original jpeg size (not anywhere near medium quality). Here are the results of the jpeg test:
The one discrepancy I notice is that there is a 200 byte difference between the version saved from the external editor and the version exported as current. That is minor, but I'm wondering where that may come from. Is it a result of saving the file with photoshop or is it something iPhoto does to the file?
The discrepancy seems to be greater (up to 29kb) with the png test:
And I think the discrepacny is likely from what the external editor does in saving the file and not what iPhoto does. Here are the results from my tiff test:
The inclusion of the color profile in the save from the external editor brings it closer to the size of modifed version.
So I find my concern that exporting 'current' would severely reduce the quality by always making a "medium quality jpeg" is not the case, and that it does export something very similar to the work I did in the external editor.
(I like using iPhoto for how it organizes with metadata. I just don't need the metadata for files/images that I export from iPhoto. They move on to a different purpose where such data is irrelevant. Also I'm curious if iPhoto is not meant to be used for organizing media what is it's primary purpose?)

IPhoto 9.5.1 will not export edited versions of my photos.

I cannot export edited versions of my photos (specifically cropped photos) in iPhoto 9.5.1 using Mavericks. This is driving me nuts. I've tried duplicating the photos, saving them in different formats . . . no dice. This is very annoying. Without photo editing, iPhoto is pretty useless.

You can use 3rd party editors from within iPhoto. Here are some of those:
Some Image Editors That Support layers:
Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac - $79
Rainbow Painter - $30
Imagerie - $38
Acorn - $50
Pixelmator - $60
Seashore - Free
GIMP for Mac - Free
Xee 2.1 - free
I would suggest you try one of the free ones and make sure that iiPhoto will export the edited version before you purchase an editor. The following is for Photoshop Elements but would be applicable to most of the editors listed above, particularly the part about keeping the file extension as jpeg and not one created by the editor.
Using Photoshop Elements or Photoshop as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note 1: screenshots are from PSE 10
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

How to export edited 5D material into same Format

Hello ppl!
Just maybe someone can help me with this one...
I know it is more of Technical side of 5D, but my Q has something to do with it;
As we know, 5D shoots video, compresses it with H.264 codec and saves it in .MOV container!
For EDITING purposes I use ADOBE CS5 (strong working station with CUDA Mercury engine and everything)...
Anyhow, I was just shooting "Making Of" for some Feature film - and what I wanna do is CLEAR FOOTAGE MATERIALS of unnecessary parts - and then export it back to HDD and give it to Film production
But how do I get to export edited material in the same container and with same properties as originally shot footage was????
ADOBE has quite powerful MEDIA ENCODER, but you can't save h.264 file to have .MOV extension!!!
You can choose H.264, but then your file will have [b]*.mp4[/b] extension... -- Further on - will that file be of the same quality as the file I downloaded from my CF-card???
Any ideas about that - or maybe an advice for some other ENCODER???? ----- Just don't suggest MAC cause I can't afford it at the moment!!!!
What I can do is use AVID MEDIA COMPOSER 4 or 5 (also on my Windows workstation) - but since AVID recodes all footage as the first step when importing it, I am not sure it would fullfill my needs!!!!!
Hope someone will know how to handle it!!!!
Cheers!
V:

-You see, the problem is that my Premier, actually my Adobe Media Encoder can't export to any MOV file higher than Standard Def... Why is it so, I don't know, maybe cause my QT isn't PRO???? Do you think that going PRO would help this matter?
No, you don't need QT Pro for export (or import, for that matter). Are you selecting Preset or Video Codec in the Export Settings window? Like this:
Do you have these, or at least most of them?
-- you also mention ProRes and Proxy here as well, but I am stuck with PC - I wonder how are those AVID QT CODECS gonna work with PREMIERE - are they also gonna re-encode the entire material???
The Avid codecs work fine with Premiere on a PC--I use them frequently myself. But, yes--regardless of the codec you use to export these files, they will be transcoded/re-encoded. I just checked with an FCP buddy, and he said that his Canon T2i clips (similar/same format to the 5D) will import directly into FCP, so if that's what you're using on the Mac, you can forgo the transcoding. That said, transcoding to DNxHD (or ProRes) is not going to incur a visual quality hit, though the files will be larger.
- which Format (codec) are the final files gonna be???
H.264! They're the same as the originals, just trimmed to length.
- Thanx for that one! I hope it works on Windows as well, since Windows is my OS - and thnx for coupon code:))))
Well, you use this plug-in on the Mac; it enables you to read NTFS-formatted drives on the Mac. You'd just continue to do what you've always done, and the Mac user would need the plug-in. If you want to read HFS formatted drives on a PC, you can use Paragon HFS for Windows or MacDrive. Either of those will be good for HFS drives on a PC. Of course, you only need one of these drivers; either NTFS on Mac, or HFS on PC.
There was some mention of using Quick Time PRO as only solution here... Do you have any idea what is that all about??? What can be done - editing wise - with QT PRO??? Or is it just bringing up some more Codecs into the game????
I prefer MPEG Streamclip; it does all the editing (well, the editing you need) that QT Pro does, and it doesn't cost anything. I recommend checking that out first before sending Steve Jobs any money

IW46 (Reprocessing incorrect confirmations) : edit parameters

Hi,
When running IW46 , the result screen shows data for all the plants.
I would like to have a way to sort data for a specific plant : on the result screen , in the menu path : 'Edit/Parameters' is not active , is there a configuration to be done to activate that?
Thanks,
Pete

No standard solution...

Export actions parameters

Is there any way to change the parameters LR send to programs (WIN)?
For example i have a export profile that saves images to e:\export\web and then opens my FTP program (filezilla). I placed the filezilla shortcut to export actions folder... Now when ftp program opens after export, it ties to connect site called E.
Same thing with my email program thunderbird, opening it after export it reports "e is not a registered protocol".
Also i tried to edit export presets manually to add command line parameters to programs that are opened (forexample filezilla.exe -s defaulsite), but those parameters were ignored.

Yes you can drag files straight to filezilla. BTW if i change my export location to somewhere in F:\ drive LR now passes "f" parameter to programs. I would understand LR would pass the whole folder to programs or would not pass anything, but this is quite annoying. Or LR passes some arguments in "table form" where first cell is drive letter...
Adding web browser as an export action opens the file, so i believe the programs that i have used don't support the parameters LR is trying to send.

Help with Exporting Edited Version of Picture

With iPhoto I an trying to edit (crop and adjust the color) of photographs. I have tried exporting the photo, but the cropping does not come over. Color changes come fine, but no cropping.
HELP?!?!?
Thanks.
B2

Cropping takes a few steps. Click Crop, choose a constrain ratio if you want, adjust the crop box to where you want it. Finally, click Crop again to perform the crop. When you click Done or select another photo you should get the message "Saving Changes" (or something to that effect) to let you know it worked.
Are you doing all of these steps?

My exported edited image in TIFF-16bit is not the same as my edited RAWfile

Hi! First and foremost my problem is not speed. I have learn to deal with Aperture's slowness while editing or exporting images and not real time brush strokes and occassional crashes. It thought me PATIENCE!
My problem are my exported image from Aperture, The images are not rendered the same exact way as the RAW image I edited (quality-sharpness-saturation-definition-etc.) in Aperture. The rendering is WAY OFF. I even exaggerate in Sharpness and contrast in rendering my RAW images yet my exported (both TIFF -16 bit or JPEG orig. size) are way softer than the one I originally rendered in RAW at Aperture 3.0.2. Even the COLORS are OFF-saturation, luminance, etc. It's not my Monitor or my Eyes, I asked 3 friends to help me validate my concern. After viewing my exported (TIFF or Jpeg) images on an external preview browser, I re-import them to Aperture and put them- (the exported images) in the same Projects where the Original RAW file is located, then I carefully compare them in Full Screen view, I can totally say that they're not the same quality, sharpness, saturation, tonal value!
It's very frustrating to experience this. I work really hard on every single image, I tolerate the sluggishness, the crashes, All I want are my image output render the way I rendered them in RAW file in regards to sharpness, color value and just the overall look that I wanted in my images. BTW I just downloaded the recent March 22, 2011 update. But still it's still having this problem.
Please help me all you good knowledgable, compassionate Aperture experts help an Aperture user in distress.
Thanks for your time. I appreciate any positive feedback and help.
JC

Richard,
You are not going crazy, this is a well documented throughout the web
Sorry, but the web is not documentation for Aperture.
I cannot understand why Apple have not resolved this
For one, it takes time to fix a bug, and the have to know about it. Have you told Apple that this is a problem through Aperture feedback? Second, someone at Aperture has to prioritize what their engineers work on. Since this does not seem to be a problem for very many people (including the well-regarded contributors whom you were trying to offend in your other post on this topic), it may turn out that it has a low priority for Apple.
Please Apple sort this out!
Apple does not contribute to this forum and there's no reason to believe they will read this particular message and make a bug report.

VBA and RFC - How to deal with tables in export/import parameters

Hi,
maybe one of you can support me...
I have a couple of vba modules reading and writing data to SAP by means of function modules. As usual, they use export and import parameters as well as tables (in the table section). They work very well.
Now, I want to execute some newer function modules and they don't use tables in the table section (because they're obsolete nowadays), instead they expect the tables as export resp. import parameters. I tried it in a couple of ways, without any success.
Has anybody tried this before? And if so, do you mind share some snippets?
Best regards, Thomas

Hello Thomas,
I think we discussed the same problem here, but unfortunately without any result. Please, take a look at this post and let us know.

Export edited videos from iPhoto

Hi.
I found many videos online showing how to export video files from iPhoto, but they always use original files!
I just imported a video from my iPhone into iPhoto, and cut it. Now I want to export the edited video, but if I drag and drop on the desktop, I end up with a 35 KB file that doesn't work at all. If I reset the changes (undo the cut) and try to drag and drop, everything work fine and I get the full video of 24 MB.
How can I export the edited file?

If you want to find all videos/movies very quickly in iPhoto create a Smart Album with the criteria: Photo is Movie.

IPhoto '09: Exporting Edits changes photo to 72dpi

*How do I export photos I have edited in iPhoto '09 at the full 300dpi?*
I have made edits to some of my photos in iPhoto '09. These edits look 'great' so I want to export these ready to take to my local photo printing company (on USB stick).
However, I find *iPhoto changes my photos from 300dpi to 72dpi* either during the edit process or upon export.
If I select File Export and 'Original' it exports at 300dpi but without edits (understandable given non-destructive editing).
If I select File Export and 'Current' it exports the relevant edits but at only 72dpi.
If I select File Export and 'JPEG' - then Maximum Quality and Full Size - it exports at 72dpi.
I want to print these photos at large sizes and 72dpi is unacceptable. I need them at the 300dpi and want the edits to be included. What am I 'missing'??? I cannot see an answer through the forums and discussions to date...
*How do I export photos I have edited in iPhoto '09 at the full 300dpi?*
Many thanks!

Read the Myth of DPI - http://www.rideau-info.com/photos/mythdpi.html - and ignore it the DPI setting on the exported photos - it makes no difference - the important thing is the number of total pixels you have - not an artificial number like DPI

IPhoto problem with email, export, editing...

Had my iMac upgraded with a new harddrive and Lion at my authorized retailer & service center. All has been good but did not use iPhoto much after the upgrade, but all seemed to be good.
Recently photographed a family occasion and now I experience the following problems;
1. After successful import I edit the pictures which leads to numerous crashes, seemingly randomly, but most frequently when jumping from editing one picture to the next.
2. Share, Email does not work, only a few of the selected pictures are sent, sometimes with a low resolution thumbnail instead of the desired picture. The selection process works normally, but when the mail has been formatted only a few or none picture are inserted, in any of the templates, including classic. The number of selcted photos and their size are reported normal, they just don't show up in the mail itself
3. Resorting to export to a folder, all of the pictures are exported, however not always with intact changes/edits???
I have previously never had any major problems with iPhoto up until this version, and am seriously considering ditching it after all the wasted time.
Any suggestions how to attack this problem in iPhoto 11 & 10.7 Lion? (I am unable to find any plist etc like in 10.6 and earlier)
Thanks for any hints and/or tips...

Hi Larry,
thanks for your quick reply...
The harddrive and all user data was transferred by the authorized service center. I able to see and use all the old pictures, so I think (and hope) my pictures were correctly transferred.
After reading this:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3087683?start=45&tstart=0
and done minor edits to ALL the NEW (of today) pictures I want, it seems to file, export correctly. I did some additional minor adjustments (exposure, saturation, sharpness, etc) and behold, the export worked ok, including edits like crops, straightenings, etc, that were omitted without the "adjustments"...
It feels like some proper bugs to me, and will probably look for another more robust and flexible software to do my edits...
Recommendations?
Using Picasa sometimes, but read somewhere they use a hack to get to the iPhoto pictures & database, not sure I like that... Maybe I should go Aperture...???
