Export then Re-import question

If I export out of FCP by choosing QuickTime Movie and Current Settings (not self-containted) and then reimport that clip back into FCP has there been any quality loss or changes to the footage at all?
I've already done this and when I put the re-imported clip on top of the original and take down the opacity of the re-imported clip (to compare it to the original) I do not see any difference.
Here's what I'm getting at, so if there's even a better way to do this then please let me know!!:
I love my new Sony NX5u cameras, however, after 30 minutes it automatically creates a new clip. That's bad if I'm filming an hour long project with two cameras and working with multiclips. My thinking is that I will take the two clips from camera 1 (two 30 minutes clips equalling 1 hour total), butt them up against each other in the timeline, export using QuickTime Movie, then reimport that one 1 hour clip. Do the same for camera 2 and now I can multicam the full 60 minute video. Make sense?
Thank you!
Eric

Thanks.
I spit out weddings and other projects at least once a week so I've been doing almost everything not self-contained. It just saves time and hard drive space (especially with weddings that are close to 3 hours in length). Doing it this way IS giving me some issues with FCP searching for reference files, but it's a tradeoff that so far is better than the time it takes to export self-contained. So you're right about that, but so far it's been ok.
Out of curiosity, one last question. What is the difference between exporting the way I did (QuickTime Movie, current settings) verses QuickTime Movie but choosing Uncompressed 8 or 10 bit NTSC?

  • Can I duplicate a RAW image as a JEPG without exporting then importing?

    I would like to duplicate a RAW image as a JPEG. Is this possible to accomplish within the Aperture library without  exporting then importing?

    No, it is not.
    "RAW" describes a family of proprietary sensor-data file formats.  If you want a JPG file, you must create it.  "Export", in Aperture, means "Make me a file of this Image according to these settings in this Image Export Preset".  You make JPG files by exporting Images and selecting JPG (and other settings) in the Image Export Preset.
    If you supply some more information on what you are trying to do, we might be able to help you.  You question comes up often from users trying to do something larger, but I can't tell what from the information you've given.

  • Export and then re-import source files from InfoPath 2010

    Hi all,
    While looking in to my form being oddly large I exported all the source files and noticed that there was a large image file in there (which wasn't on any of the views, so I don't know how it was there). I need to delete this file, then re-import all the
    files to become an InfoPath form again. Can someone please tell me how I do that? I don't seem to be able to find anything in the menus....
    Thanks!
    Alex

    Hello Alex,
    I don't think you can import modified infopath form to become a new form. Event you export forma nd delete any file or image then also you will get error when open the menifest.xsf file.
    Better you try to find image in form and delete image from form itself. Just check all the views, form controls (specially hyperlink),  to remove that image.

  • How to import questions into Captivate 4 from a delimited file

    I'm looking
    a way to import questions from a delimited text file (or excel spreadsheet)
    into captivate.
    All the questions are simple multiple choice, single answer, four selections per question.
    I have hundreds - I'd hate to have to retype them all in one at a time.
    Thanks in advance
    -Joan

    Does anyone know if this is a feature in Captivate 5. 
    Other things I would really like to see in Captivate 5.
    Importing and Exporting the graded quiz/test content out of captivate into another
    application/ form.  Such as xml, tab delimited, excel spreadsheet,
    Adobe pdf, Word document or another format.  Our current content
    developement systems allows us to (when publishing) do this.
    1> exclude questions from the Published content
         (exclude section questions, or final test content)
    2> produce different test versions from question banks
    3> Produce a PDF paper test for when we want to train in a classroom setting
    4> Select which questions we want to produce
    5> Import questions from a pre-defined format.  To note: when we do this the system also makes us define a unique interaction id so that the import will update existing questions.
    I know this will NOT work for some of the more sophisticated questions, But for the simple Mulitple choice, true/false, fill in the blank.  etc..
    THIS WOULD BE A GREAT FEATURE..
    It would also be NICE TO HAVE THE abiliy to PROFILE versions of the SAME Course WITH OUT REPRODUCING / DUPLICATING / REPEATING THE  ENTIRE COURSE PRESENTATION.
    Such as
    "INSTRUCTOR TAUGHT TRAINING"
    "WEB TRAINING"
    "PAPER TEST A"
    "PAPER TEST B"
    ETC...
    LASTLY: if we can not export the QUIZ content.  Can an excel spreadsheet LIKE INTERFACE be used to edit certain aspects of the questions.
    Such as the InteractionId which is sent to the LMS ('cmi.interactions.0.id').  My developer team says it is real difficult and time consuming
    to track down interactionIds and then maintain them in a perfect way.

  • Best export format for importing into After Effects or even back into Premiere

    Please look at this video, work in progress.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49_wbdKALQk
    The opening, featuring a ribbon of videos, was created in After Effects, using Digieffects Freeform.
    The  issue is the poor quality of the videos that are featured in the  opening -- compared to the high quality of videos from the original Premiere  project., which you can see at the end of the clip.
    To create the After Effects project, I exported a series of video clips from Premiere  to mp4.
    Then I imported them into AfterEffects.
    The bottom line, and the purpose of this question, is I am thinking that  MP4 was not the best choice for the Adobe Premiere export.
    What  is the best format to export video from in Premiere Pro CS5 to import  into after effects, or to import into any other editing program,  incuding importing right back into Adobe Premiere, if that is eever  needed.
    AVI?
    MOV
    MP4
    And any other settings that will result with the highest qualiity videos for importing.
    Thanks

    Okay, here's where I stand at this point regarding exporting and/or dynamic linking between AfterEffects and Premiere.
    I'm in After Effects.  I create a composition I like.  So I first tried the old fashioned way. I exported it into a MOV file with the animation preset. Millions of colors.  Same frame rate as my Premiere project, which also uses MOV files with no problem.
    Howver when I import the MOV file created by After effects, the NEW MOV file section of the premier project plays sluggish.  And it also causes the videos that follow to play sluggish.   And they are all MOV files at the same frame rate.
    The same thing happens when I do a dynamic link between the two projects.  A sluggish response starting with the After Effects dynamic link and affecting the MOV video files that follow.
    It's a very short After Effects composition.  About 3 second slong.
    I have a very powerful computer built especially for CS5 and premiere --so that should not be an issue -- recently was in the top ten of the benchmark list.
    Up to this point my video files have played perfectly layer upon layer with no problems.
    Is there something I am not considering?
    Thanks.

  • MEGA180 Important Questions

    I have my MEGA180 on order but I already have some important questions:
    1) This unit provides dual vga outputs. If I install my own AGP 8x card, will the VGA2 output still work? I read in the manual that installing an AGP card will disable VGA1 (default) but it doesn't say anything about the 2nd VGA output connector. I require 2 outputs since I will be connecting to an LCD and my HDTV monitor (using a VGA to Component Video Transcoder)
    2) Will there be performance hits by using the two vga outputs at the same time?
    3) The on-board video card doesn't have any video memory. It will use your existing DDR memory. I will have 512Meg Dual Channel Memory. What kind of performance I can expect from the built-in video card (NVidia NForce Crush18) compared to other AGP cards on the market?
    Thanks for your help!
    Sly

    Though I can not provide you with answers specific to the Mega 180, I can give you some more info.
    1) No. As soon as you install an AGP card, the onboard video will be fully disabled from within the BIOS. This is an nForce2 chipset setting. So make sure to get an AGP card with 2xVGA (as most cards have nowadays).
    2) No or not much. Using an nForce2 MoBo myself I haven't encountered performance loss using both VGA outputs.
    3) There's no way to compare the onboard video to an AGP card. AGP cards will have a far out better perfomance then the onboard video. But compared to other onboard video solutions around, like Xtreme Graphics, the nForce solution is far better and has far better performance.
    It all depends on what you will be doing with the MegaPC. If you're a gamer, get an AGP card. If you want to use it as an HTPC, keep with the onboard nForce2 solution. There's no need for extra here since the nForce2 chipset is great. Onboard sound from this chipset is also great. Try it out before spending $ on an AGP card you don't need.
    Hope this helped a bit.

  • Export and re-import on same database

    For one reason or another we want to do a full export and re-import all the data back into the same tablespaces... is there a command to imp to tell it to truncate and over-write all the data before importing? or do I have to manually drop all the tables? (by manual I mean write a script to do it) -- and/or drop all the schemas

    Not sure, why you want to export and import back the same thing into the same database, but anyways to answer your question, yes it is possible with Oracle10g by using TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION={SKIP | APPEND | TRUNCATE | REPLACE}. With Oracle9i, you may have to generate a dynamic script to truncate tables....make sure you exclude SYS/SYSTEM tables from the truncate script.........did I say except SYS/SYSTEM and so on :-)

  • Speed up Client EXPORT and Client import

    Hi,
    how to speed up the client export/import process (from scc8/scc7)?
    There is no profile,if we want User master records and the client specific data. then can we over write the client 2times first with user master data and then followed by client specific import.
    Main requirement is to Export Production client Specific data and users with authorization as CLIENT EXPORT (finally we can import the requests generated by client export) after importing to DEV server once can use as Quality client.
    please give your valuable suggestions in having client export and import to make Quality client in DEV server.
    DEV and PRD patch levels are different (remote client copy will fail in RFC system comparison)
    request you to give your valuable inputs.
    thanking you in anticipation,
    best regards,
    Raghav

    Hi Chowdary,
    This is not a big issue.
    You please find the TR list which are not moved PRD.
    Goto PRD->STMS_IMPORT find the TR list (which are in white color symbol) not moved to PRD.
    Then ask the respective consultant about TRs. Then re-import the TR in QAS. The old configuration will be occured in QAS. The TR which is moved to QAS, Now also it will be in green color only.But just re-import it and get the confirmation form respective consultant.But the user details will not available.
    hope this is useful.

  • Oracle 10g import question

    Hi,
    Is it possible to import oracle 7.3.3.5 export file into oracle 10g? I created user tablespaces manually, and then tried to import but I see strange errors.

    Did you read the metalink note specified above?.
    Please read the same and it has the information.
    Example: export from 7.3.4 and import into 11.1.0
    use the 7.3.4 Export client to export the data from the 7.3.4 source database,
    use the 11.1.0 Import client to import the data into the 11.1.0 target database,
    Note that a migration with export FULL=Y & import FULL=Y is not supported.
    that's what mentioned above. Try show=y option and use fromuser/touser

  • Another iPhoto import question

    Hi all. I'm new to the iMac and all of the applications. I've been reading up adn getting familiar with my iMac and I'm loving it. I plan on using iPhoto and had a question about importing my photos.
    On my PC, I would use a card reader to copy the pics to a folder that would basically be my negatives. Then I would organize them into folders based on the year and then the date I took them. For example, I had a folder in My Documents called Canon/2007/20071031 Halloween. I would eventually take the "negatives" and save them to a DVD for archiving once I had enough to fill a DVD. Ok, to be honest, I'm behind on the DVD burning process.
    I watched lots of the iLife tutorial on iPhoto and I like how they manage the photos. Seems like it will make my life easier. Since I'm used to using a card reader, I would still like to do it that way instead of connecting my camera (unless I get talked out of it). My printer has a built in card reader that I planned on using. Is it possible to import them that way? I haven't been able to find anything on importing with a card reader. Also, what's the best way to archive off my "negatives" just in case. I don't want to lose any of my pics.
    Thanks

    Rinker:
    You can import from a card reader into iPhoto. It will act just like a camera being connected if you want it to. You use Image Capture's preferences to set what application to open, if any, when a camera is connected.
    FWIW, I use a card reader to upload from the memory card to a folder on the desktop. I name the folder with the date and brief description of the shoot. (I always reformat the card with the camera after each upload and upload after each shoot). When that folder is imported into iPhoto the Event gets named with the title of the folder. That saves me having to rename the event later on. Also, if desired, I can rename the files in that folder with R-Name so that each image file's name is unique and not the default name given by the camera. I use the capture date in the international format, YYYY-MM-DD-halloween-001.jpg, etc. This allows for excellent search and sort capability both within and outside of iPhoto.
    Then after importing into iPhoto I copy that folder to my external HD that stores the source files, i.e. digital negatives and delete it from the desktop. Hope this has been of some help to you. This way I have two copies of the original file, one on the external and the other in iPhoto. iPhoto does not touch the original when it does its editing. It makes a modified version of it for that purpose.
    Happy Holidays
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    thanks
    john

    Check the songs are really not in the Music section of the library by clicking the magnifying glass in the search box and unticking Search Entire Library if it is ticked, then typing in the name of the album. If the tracks still don't show try closing iTunes and deleting a hidden file called sentinel from inside your iTunes folder. This should make iTunes run an integrity check on the database when you start it again. Make sure the tracks are checked before you try syncing again.

    Hi Barbara
    Are your photos in iPhoto or are you using some other Photo Software?
    The latest version of iPhoto is a lot different than iPhoto 6 for example. In iPhoto 06 you could burn the Originals from your User Picture Folder using Finder, while in iPhoto 11 it is best to burn them from within the iPhoto Application.
    Open iPhoto and select the Event(s) that you want to burn onto the CD, then select Share on the menu bar and click Burn in the drop down.

    Then again, maybe you got a bad batch of blank CD's and need to try another?

    I'm thinking of using Final Cut Pro to straighten slightly crooked footage and then re-import back to iMovie to complete the video. Does this have any impact on image quality?

    As your rotate the image, you will begin to see black edges. So, as Tom implies, the image must be scaled up to hide those voids. If you shot 4k ad are editing in a HD timeline, no problem, lots of room to spare. If you shot 1080 and are editing in a 1080 timeline, you will run into issues at a certain point. However, if your 1080 project is going to be transcoded to 720 or ye olde DVD you won't notice any deterioration at all.

  • How to define Export parameter as Import parameter in next test script.

    Hi Experts,
    We have defined Purchase order no. as export parameter in ME21N transaction test script.
    Test configuration for ME21N transaction executed succesfully and the Purchase order No. appeared in the last message
    is the export parameter for next test script i.e. MIGO transaction.
    However I am unable to define this export parameter as Import parameter in next test script for MIGO transaction.
    Please suggest me the method to define the same.
    Please Help...
    Thanks in Advance
    Vikas

    Vikas,
    You need to create super script which is nothing but having the both the steps (Po creation & MIGO ) in this eCatt script. This can be achieved by using the REF command as ex. below.
    Create PO
    REF ( Z_CREATE_PO , Z_CREATE_PO_1 ).
    Create MIGO
    REF ( Z_CREATE_MIGO , Z_CREATE_MIGO_1 ).
    Z_Create_PO is the actual eCatt script that you recorded to create the PO. Z_CREATE_QUOTE_1 is the interface created by SAP. Similarly you have use the REF command to call the MIGO script inside this super script.
    To pass the export parameter from PO step to MIGO, double click the Z_CREATE_PO_1and define the export variable for PO number. And do the same on the interface for MIGO step.
    Follow the instructions if you need in this help document posted by another user in this forum

  • E-Recruiting important questions

    I'm implementing the E-Recruiting and I have two important questions for this Project:
    1 - The business want to capture mobility (willingness to relocate / travel) at the time of position application. Is there a standard field for store this information?
    2 - Recruitment would like to be informed about a critical process, in others words, the requisition doesnu2019t compete with other priorities. How can I handle this situation?
    Thanks in advance!!!
    Sivani

    Hi Sivani,
    Questionnaire answers are stored in IT5141.  They are visible to the Recruiters when viewing the Candidates and can be used in rankings.  You can also decide for which positions this questionnaire would be required and which not. 
    Do not see a standard field to create a priority when creating a Requisition.  We added many fields, such as "eligibility for employee referral", so it can be added.  However, letting managers set the priorities could be a problem with each manager thinking his/her opening is most important.
