Exported videos have weird file names FCP 7

I've been having this issue for a while and just now it bothered me enough to search for it and ask if anyone else has this specific problem. When I export videos out of FCP 7, sometimes the exported file name ends with lots of numbers and letters instead of the name I specified. Why does this happen? How do I make it stop?

Why does this happen? It happens to me sometimes when I have long filenames. It never seems to affect the clip, just the name.
How do I make it stop? uh... stop exporting?

Allow to have the file name with extension in contacts thumbnails

When I print a contact sheet from the Print module, I would like to have the option to have under each thumbnail the file name complete with the extension; e.g. "Sample.jpg". Right now I can only have the file name, e.g. "Sample".

I think you are talking about unzipping or extracting the contents
of the Zip file. Use the API in 'java.util.zip'
For code refer to

There you would find the code!!
Good luck!!

Need to export an AC3 audio file from FCP

Does anyone know how to export (or convert to) and AC3 audio file from FCP? My compressor is not currently working, is there another way? I have Sorenson Squeeze and FCP 5.0.4. Thank you!!!
alex

Upload your audio file to my Public folder and wait 20 mins. I'll compress the audio to .ac3 for you if you're in a crunch. Check back in my Public Folder and I'll have it there for you.

Export copy changed original file name & date

Photoshop Elements 10.
I received a digital frame for Christmas. In order to populate the card, I used the Export as new file, but to copy, not to move. To fit the files, I had the pictures resized, and to simplify the copies, I had the copies renamed. the card ended up with what I wanted, but I was left with a big surprise. The originals had also been renamed. I can live with that, but I'm not happy. However, the renaming of the files also touched the file dates, so now I have nearly 5,000 pictures from over 12 years all with toady timestamps.
I notice that the EXIF dates (picture taken on) are all still there. Is there a way to set the file dates to the EXIF dates?
Okay - added notes after my shock. First of all, files names of the originals were not modified; I just choose a poor folder to look at, and those files names happened to start at xxx0001. My bad.
And, while all the pictures I exported/copied were touched and their file dates changed,most of them are still correctly dated in the Elements organizer. It appears that only those real early files, taken with my first digital camera, which did not have a an EXIF date to begin with, have all been shifted in the organizer to the date/time when the export/copy was made.
So, while nearly 5,000 files have had their dates changed, in the organizer it is only a couple of hundred that have shifted.
A) why in the world did these shifts happen?
B) for those with EXIF dates, any suggestion on correction?

While a script would probably be best, photoshop 7 requires
you download a scripting plugin which may or may not install
in photoshop 7 depending on your version.
You can probably do what you want with actions. The file naming part
is not hard, but i have a couple of questions about the cropping.
Are all the images the same size and are the crops in the same position for each?
In other words on the P crop (200x250), is the crop in the same position on each
image or different for each?

Export photos with their file name stamped on to them

Hi
I have finished sorting, selecting, cropping etc my photos. I now wish to export low res samples of them to CD so that customers can view the samples and order prints. I can add a watermark and perform the export, but I want to add (stamp) each photo's file name to the photo sample. This would make it easier for a computer 'challenged' person to correctly obtain the correct photo file names.

I've not seen that as an option in Aperture. I believe your best bet is to export and html document and add the file information as part of the html.

Export 16:9 .move file with FCP

Hello,
Since May this year I cannot export my FCP 16:9 project to a 16:9 .mov file anymore. The last good one I exported was May 4th, 2009. When I open this QuickTime file with FCP it is widescreen. I exported the same project on May 27th. That .mov file is letterboxed when opening it with FCP.
I never used QuickTime Pro because this program could and can only display my videos letterboxed.
I tried several options to try to export the movie 16:9 (Current Settings, DV PAL 48 kHz Anamorphic).
Someone advised me to use the Cmd-J option in Quicktime, but before May 27th, the export was good and I could use it in iDVD. But since that date it is not possible anymore. When importing the movie directly in iDVD, it is 4:3 format. And after changed it to 1024 with Cmd-J in QuickTime it is halfwidescreen in iDVD (looks like 14:9 i.s.o. 16:9)
How can I get my old good working version of FCP back I had on May, 4th and earlier ?
Or how can I export to QuickTime movie that gives me a 16:9 video again as it was before May 27th ?
Thanks,
Hubert

Hello,
I tried a new 16:9 project. In this new project FCP the video is exported in 16:9 format.
So there must be somewhere a 16:9/4:3 option switch in my old 16:9 project.
Where can this option be set to 16:9 ?
Thanks,
Hubert

IWeb 1.12 bug: folder-photos have original file names!?!?

Hi, I've been using iWeb for a while now, but came across a strange bug which creates a problem for me. I had about 180 jpg photos on my mac which originally had particular file names. I manually changed the file names in the finder (for each of these - say, from a file name that might have been something like 1a.jpg to one that might be 1-Wayne.jpg, then drag-drop imported them into iPhoto, reordered them in iPhoto, then exported to iWeb (onto two pages since it will only take 99 photos on any one page), then exported from iWeb to a folder that I plan to upload to a server.
I noticed while trolling through the newly-created folder with the images, that while some of the file names are the new ones, quite a few of them retain the old file names! How the heck did that happen? Since in the published website (i.e. via a browser) all the new names show, it is not a problem for the website per se. But I am also making an image-map file which links to these photos, and since I have so many photos, it is very confusing since some of the files that iWeb created use the new file names, whereas others use the old names. I would rather recycle the iWeb-created images rather than to upload entirely new ones (e.g. with the new names).
Anyone know what's going on here? Solutions or workarounds?
Baffled and flustered,
Wayne

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
You are doing nothing wrong.
I have noticed the same behavior change between iPhoto '08 and iPhoto '09.
When you make a change to the name of the Event that name change takes place within the database that governs the iPhoto Library of pictures, not in the "physical" structure of the iPhoto Library (as you pointed out).
Any changes you need to make should be made through the iPhoto interface (iPhoto is an image organizer after all. Thats what it's made for.), not by going inside the iPhoto Library package (Which is where you see those folder names. Making any changes within the package can damage the library. )
That said if you think that the naming structure is a feature you would like to see in future versions of iPhoto you can let Apple know. iPhoto > Provide iPhoto Feedback.
Hope that helps.

Exporting Video from Motion - File Size????

I imported a video into Motion that was 363 MB....all I did to it was add 30 shapes (circles) overlayed for 1 second each at various points in the vdieo. When I "exported" the movie it is NOW 5.7 GB....I exported it in the same file format/resolution as the original I had edited in Motion.
Why is it so large? What can I do when I export to have it not be so large yet retain the same resolution?

When you use the "Export Movie" option the first setting in the export window is the codec. Even though it says "Same as Source" all projects default to ProRes 4444, even if you have another codec in your project for one of the clips. Basicly the default, a lossless codec with Color and Alpha, this will create a much larger file. If you want a smaller file you may need to switch to another codec from the Export menu. Since you didn't indicate what your original format was (HDV, H.264, ProRes 422, etc) I can't tell you what setting is right, but H.264 will be smallest, but is not lossless.

Upload document does not have correct file name

I have a procedure that uploads the file in the table with BLOB. We have a DAD entry on our application server as
<Location /pls/excess_admin_qa>
SetHandler pls_handler
Order allow,deny
Allow from All
AllowOverride None
PlsqlDatabaseConnectString 10.125.1.129:1521:sidq02 SIDFormat
PlsqlAuthenticationMode Basic
PlsqlDefaultPage eeq_main
PlsqlDocumentTablename eeq_documents
PlsqlDocumentProcedure eeq_attach_download
# PlsqlAlwaysDescribeProcedure Off
</Location>
and I have another table in my application to connect the table to other ID's.
It used ot work before, but noe it does not work. The file name should have prefix unique id like "F909307841/Blue hills.jpg", instead I get only C:/temp?Bluehills.jpg.
The table structure is
EEQ_DOCUMENTS
NAME VARCHAR2(128 BYTE),
MIME_TYPE VARCHAR2(128 BYTE),
DOC_SIZE NUMBER,
DAD_CHARSET VARCHAR2(128 BYTE),
LAST_UPDATED DATE,
CONTENT_TYPE VARCHAR2(128 BYTE),
CONTENT LONG RAW,
BLOB_CONTENT BLOB
What could have cause this?

What could have cause this?What browser is being used?
For security/privacy reasons recent versions of browsers by default do not send local file path information from File Browse items to the server, nor expose the file path in the control's JavaScript methods. IE6 & IE7 still yield the path in Windows format. IE8+ adopted an irritating approach of replacing the path with a wholly imaginary "C:\fakepath\"—and this monstrosity has sadly had to be enshrined in the HTML5 spec so we're now saddled with this everywhere...
Changing IE's security config setting "Include local directory path when uploading files" enables the path to be exposed, which appears to be the most likely explanation for this.

Why don't my videos (movies) display file names?

I have about 20 movies on my Lumia 928, but the file names don't display. The movies play fine, but it would be nice to know the names of the movies without having to play them.

I can see how having to play the movie without knowing the file name would be a hassle.
I have researched this matter & I do believe this is just a part of the design of the phone.
I have even checked with HTC http://bit.ly/14DuBW3 to see if they know of any other way to do this, but nothing yet.

Is there a way to drop an image into indesign and then have that file name captioned underneath?

Hello! I'm looking to help a colleague into streamlining a process. We have to display images full page in an Indesign Document and every time we drop and image onto a page, we then need to edit the caption underneath with the file name. Just wondering if there is a way to automate this process? Any scripts available?

When you place an image you can turn on the capture function. There are normal and live versions. The normal labeling creates a text as text is, the live version creates a variable which would change if the image or the text in the meta information changes, but it behaves like a single character which causes problems how the text will run in the text frame.
What is drawn out of the Meta must be set up before in the caption set up option.
When you drag and drop an image from the finder or from Bridge you can't activate this option.
BTW I use it a different way which seems to me faster. I assign a shortcut to the labeling command and when I have imported the image, I click this shortcut and in a second step I apply an Object style which will format the text frame including Paragraph style which might be different on a dark or bright photo or upon a graphic.
Normally I edit all meta information in Adobe Bridge, which is the fastest way to handle it.

Why does my exported video have black edges?

Hi Everyone,
Somehow my video must be changing frame sizes or something to that extent. I have thin black edges on my exported video. I have checked carefully and my output and source settings match to my visual knowledge. Please help.

Mark,
I can show you the player in Premier but I wouldn't know how to export the encoded clip back into Premiere LOL. I'm a total newbie at CS6. And I don't know how to upload a clip, I don't even know how to screen shot it through my notebook. I tried print screen and I get nothing so I am going through my mobile device to upload everything. Thank you guys for your patience and help.

I have a file name "FEF86000" on my desktop ?!?

I do not know where it came from, but all of a sudden, I have a file named FEF86000 on the desktop, that I can't delete nor open. What is that?
Thank you.

Ok, what likely happened is a something got thrown off a little, it happens and files appear like ghosts.
Download the free Onyx here for Lion (click the Downloads link)
Run all the checks when it starts and check off and run ALL the cleaning and maintenance aspects (you can opt to reboot at the end, but reboot at the end for sure)
http://www.titanium.free.fr/
That will reset everything, let things rebuild and should take care of your issue as it has done in the past for issues like yours.
OnyX will not hurt your machine or your files or programs, just cleans out the caches, allows spotlight to rebuild, runs permisisons checks and so forth.
If it still appears, then use OnyX again and under the Verify tab, enable show corrupt plists and run that, report back what it says.
If you get any errors on any of the repairs or checks, let me know what it was as well, there could be a bigger issue afoot.

Photos sent as email attachments from iPhone ALWAYS have the file name -- photo.jpg?

Do all photos sent from an iPhone to an email address get sent with the name -- photo.jpg?
Anybody know of a way to have the iPhone not send all emailed photos as photo.jpg
Cheers,
Jay

Is there no one from Apple who reads these discussion/community boards? Over 245 views and no reply to your question. I saw a similar concern from 2009 with over 700 views and no reply. I can't believe that Apple hasn't fixed this.
I am a Blackberry user and have the choice to switch over to iphone next year. I have to use my phone on a daily basis for work to take photos and email them to multiple people (including myself). Blackberry has always uniquely named each photo with the date it was taken plus a unique identifier so it's really easy to file, email, and figure out which photo was which (they also list by name and not just thumbnail).
I would really like to switch over to iphone but if there isn't an app or some way to fix this...I don't know what I will do. You'd think that an issue that's over 4 years old would have been resolved by now....? The other thing that is really annoying with iphone photos is that whenever someone emails me with them, a lot of times they are upside down, even if they corrected it on their phone before emailing it to me. Somehow the photos do not work well with Microsoft Outlook.
