Exporting an .M2T for Avid

Hey all,
We're trying out a new tapeless workflow to get our two shows ready for broadcast. We currently edit in FCP in ProRes 422, export a ProRes from there, use Compressor to encode that as Avid DNxHD and drop it off at the local closed-captioning studio. They work completely in Avid on Windows XP. That's worked okay so far, but our closed-captioning guy charges us for the time it takes to import that DNxHD. That's been adding up.
He's suggested we give him an .m2t file (He says it can be brought into Avid without a problem) -- which Compressor can make just fine. Only problem is, Avid chokes on that, saying it's unable to read the MPEG file.
Has anyone here had experience exporting to Avid from Final Cut Pro? Or maybe can share a Compressor droplet that has the right .m2t settings?
Thanks!
Max

ask him for a sample .m2t file that works and see if you can figure out the settings.

AAF exports from PPCC for Avid don't include video

PPro CC 2014.2 release 8.2.0 (65) Build
iMac 27" Mid 2011; 3.4ghz i7; 16gb 1333 Mhz DDR3; AMD Radeon HD6970M 1024mb; OSX 10.9.5
I need to export AAFs of projects for Avid finishing. Tried exporting with embedded audio, separate audio, WAV, AIFF, trimmed and complete audio files but in no instance has the video exported.
I have tried using multiple projects all with the same results-no video goes with the export. I can do work arounds but I need to have a simple and direct way to export from PP to Avid. We have dozens of users in our facility who need this ability.
I've looked through the discussion boards here and elsewhere and can't find an answer to this one.
Is this a known bug? I haven't attempted this in earlier builds, so I'm unsure whether this has ever functioned.
ANy help is appreciated.

This is a problem I've been trying to solve for a while too, Premier AAF files won't work with Avid. Even once you see the sequence in Avid the offline files will never reconnect to the media.
A work around for this is to use Final Cut 7 and Automatic Duck, So make an XML in Prem, import that into FCP7 and then export an AAF from there using Auto Duck. One big problem is that FCP7 doesn't support MXF files though, so as long as you aren't using that format, it'll work. It's not very streamlined, but it's the best way I've found.

Export to .m2t ?

Premiere Elements 8 can export 1080i/30 AVCHD to .m2t file format (1080i/30 H264).
I don't see any option for Premiere Pro CS5 to do this. Am I missing it or is there another suggestion? They both use the MainConcept H.264 codec, but Premiere Pro typically uses .m4v when selecting the H264 output formats. Can Premiere Pro CS5 export to .m2t file formats?

I'm still using CS4 and I do this routinely; however, one thing...is there any way to desigate the bit
rate on this setting - from what I can see there is just one option for 4MBPS and it cannot be changed.
Any ideas?
Jim.

Unable to generate "Export data source" for Master data infoobject

Hi Gurus,
I'm in BW 3.5
I need to generate "Export data source" for a master data info object.
I followed below steps:
I ticked the checkbox "Characterist. is export data source" in the master data Info object maintenance screen.
In the Infosource area, for the desired Infoobject --> Right click --> Generate export datasource --> a dialog box displays saying "The generation of DataSource was successful"
Problem:
Even after refreshing, etc.. I couldn't find the generated datasource 8**** for the above master data. I also tried to replicate the datasource from the myself source system, but couldn't find it even there. I don't know where the generated export data source is hiding ???
Could anyone please help ????
Thanks,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
I guess that after creating an export datasource for infoobject this DS should appear in the RSA1-Source systems - MYSELF - datasource overview (with name starting with 8). Since it's a datamart, it should appear also as system generated infosource. And in this case you would be able to assign in URs of data target the appropriate infosource (make sure that in Infoproviders tab of RSA1 you have inserted your infoobject as a data target).
However, there are some bugs related to export data source. CHeck if you see you export data source in RSA6.
If you don't see it - consider applying OSS Note #816892 - "30BSP26: Export DS for master data is not generated".
Note #876845 - "30BSP29: InfoObject change: Export DataSource not adjusted" is also may be useful.

Attached is Dennis Linam’s Audition – “Log File” and “Log – Last File”
Contact information Dennis [email protected]
Previous contact information with your organization (DURIM):
Dennis - i just finished my audition trial and bought the subscription the 2014 version.
created by durin in Audition CS5.5, CS6 & CC - View the full discussion
DURIM - Okay. I would expect the "Cache Warning" message because your default directories would not be the same as the ones in the settings file I generated.
If you go back to the "7.0" directory and open the "Logs" folder, can you copy the "Audition Log.txt" file and send it as an attachment to [email protected]? We'll take a look in that logfile and see if it gives us more information about why this is failing now.
Also, do you have any other Adobe applications installed on this machine, such as Premiere Pro? If so, do they launch as expected or fail as well?
I do have the trial Pro version of Adobe reader, but I have not activated it, because I fear the same thing will happen did it. I cannot afford to activate the subscription for that product and take the chance of it not working either. I depend on those two programs religiously. Here is the files that you requested. I appreciate any help you can give me to get this audition program started

Export type determination for excise invoice

We are using the Automatic Excise Invoice while doing the billing document. But while cancelling the excise invoice system is giving the error "Utilization already done for this invoice". This error is not coming while creating the excise invoice manually from the J1IIN tcode. I can able to cancel the excise invoice if it is created manually.
This is for the Export Scenario.
For this issue what I have to do and I have tried all the permutation and combination with different series groups for the export and domestic. But still I could not able to solve this issue.
I request you to please do the needful
Please advice.
Regards,
B. Rajesh,

Dear Rajesh
Go to IMG screen, select Logistics-General --> Tax on Goods Movements --> India --> Business Transactions --> Outgoing Excise Invoice --> Maintain Default Excise Groups and Series Groups.
Here, check what has been selected for the combination of Sales Area / Shipping Point / Plant / Excise Group / Series Group. Probably, you would have selected "N". Change it to "U" and retry.
Thanks

Error when exporting to Excel for SharePoint 2010 List

We have few users who are getting the following error message when they try to export to Excel from the SharePoint list:
"An operation that uses the database driver could not be completed. If the driver is a Microsoft driver, make sure the driver file isn’t damaged, and if it is, reinstall the driver by reinstalling Microsoft Query. For other drivers, contact
your database administrator or driver vendor.‘
The export option works for me on my machine and also tested it out on other users' machines without issues. The list is currently holds 29763 items.
1. Created a view that filter the list to show few items, and the user was able to export without issues.
2. Followed the steps in the following Blog:
http://www.sharepointserverrecovery.com/blog/troubleshooting-problems-when-exporting-sharepoint-list-data-to-excel-spreadsheet-and-fixing-database-corruption/ and the user was able to export the original list.
3. My colleagues and I don't have any issues exporting to Excel. (Note: even my test account, that does not have any special permissions or members of any SharePoint group(s)).
4. Some Blog/Forums suggest to increase Threshold limit in Central Admin, which we don't want to do, since the issue only affect certain users.
Any idea on how to troubleshoot/resolve the issue?
Thanks,
Yassar

Do they have to export all the information or is a subset of it ok?
Creating an index on the columns that your users interact with the most and then creating views that limit the returned results will be useful. This will then allow an export.

Errors in Export to PDF for web use - some images are lost when PDF is enlarged & in browser

I have a multi-page PDF in InDesign CS6 that I want to export to view on the web. I need the file to stay under 2MB, and I need it to be crisp and nice enough to read the type on the page (as small as 9pt type).
The errors that are occurring are the following:
On some browsers, some images will entirely not show up. Some of the missing images have been pasted into the document, some placed. I cannot think of a correlation.
When the PDF is enlarged (Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.10) to more than ~200%, there is one placed image that will mostly disappear. What I mean by "mostly" is that little bits of it are still visible, like I masked it carelessly or something. Since this is only occurring with one image it seems that it would be a problem with the image itself, yes? I'm all ears if I'm making a mistake. It is a placed .ai file with no link errors. Should I not be placing directly from illustrator? It renders wonderfully from 100% all the way up to 188%, and then if you enlarge by margins of 1% little bits of it disappear, almost a chunk at a time.
The way I've been exporting is:
File > Export > Adobe PDF (Print)
Adobe PDF Preset: Smallest File Size
Standard: None
Compatinility: Acrobat 6 (PDF 1.5)
Options: Optimize for Fast Web View
Export Layers: Visible & Printable Layers
Compression
I always change the downsampling from [100/150] to [150/225]. I usually leave the JPG image quality low. I leave both bottom boxes checked (compress text and line art, crop image data to frames)
Output
Color Conversion: convert to destination
Destination: sRGB 1EC61966-2.1
Profile Inclusion Policy: Include Destination Profile
However, after reading a few other forum questions I started trying to export as Acrobat 4 so that it would flatten. When I do that, problem #2 still persists although I didn't test problem #1. I haven't tried using Distiller, and using the "prepare for web publishing" action within Acrobat itself makes the PDF too artifacted.
At the heart of my question is this: I am a young designer at an old company that is not necessarily keeping up with the times. I REALLY want to know what the best, most efficient way to export a pdf for web viewing is. Does this exist in InDesign, outside of InDesign? Does it exist at all? Tell me what I'm doing wrong so that I can get better!
Thank you in advance.

Show Large Images is a preference inside of Acrobat which might be disabled.

Any Flickr Export plugin available for Aperture 3?

I was happy to see Flickr included in Aperture 3, but to say the least, it really *****.
The worst thing is that it applies my own keywords to all the uploaded images. I don't want the (full) names of peoples in my pictures to display at Flickr and having my local-language keywords on my images probably doesn't help Flickr where most users are speaking english (compared to my local language).
Basically I wish the Flickr export feature would allow me to either "not sync keywords" or modify my keywords to determine if I want them exported or not - like Lightroom does.

Thanks for the warning Martin. I already know from iPhoto's flickr export that you gotta be careful. I guess the iPhoto/Aperture flickr export is great for those wanting REAL simplicity, but if you want to adjust just one or two settings, it's a no-go and it kinda *****
I hope there's an AP3 flickr export plugin out there? I would be willing to spend $10 on it.

Export to Excel for multiple dataproviders in WAD

Hello Guys,
I need a quick note on the requirement. Is there any possible solution to get data from different data providers used in WAD exported into one excel sheet.
The backend is 2004s but WAD used is 3.5.
Actual scenario is there are 8 different data providers in WAD with a different query assigned to each data provider. Right now 8 different buttons are provided for Export to Excel for 8 different data providers.
This works fine bringing data in 8 different excel sheet. But users feel this is very annoying task and they need data from all 8 data providers in one single excel sheet.
So is there any way to achieve this. I have assumed this to be a long associated problem with 3.5 WAD but i thought there might be a way around.
Please help me with a solution or either your view on this.
Regards,
Shashank

Shashank,
This is an oft repeated requirement ... but then export to excel is dataprovider specific and in WAD each dataprovider corresponds to a single table and getting all the data together is not possible .... but then there might be some other work around - you can check the forums for the same where options for the same have been discussed.

Do I need to export multiple sizes for all standard print sizes? i.e.Say I crop the image in LR to 6'5" x 9' to fit within an 11" x 14" (overall) mat of a framed print.. Now let's say I want to reprint that same image in a 12" x 16" size ... to fit within

Do I need to export multiple sizes for all standard print sizes? i.e.Say I crop the image in LR to 6'5" x 9' to fit within an 11" x 14" (overall) mat of a framed print.. Now let's say I want to reprint that same image in a 12" x 16" size ... to fit within a mat of with overall size of 20" x 24"? Or will the 1st export be "locked" at 6.5" X 9" (proportionately)?

So, for the first one Export it cropped to 6.5 x 9 - and in the Export Dialog box there is a capability to rename the file for exported output - which would allow you to add something like the crop or intention to the base name of the file. e.g. for _IMG0846.nef - setup the output filename to _IMG0846-65x9 for 11x14.jpg and output it at, say 300 or 360 dpi. So, it has a unique name and purpose in your output folder.
For best results, now, re-crop the picture in LR - just open the crop [R] dialog again, reframe the image to the new ratio, 12x16 and Export again - with an adjustment to the filename. e.g. _IMG0846-12x16 for 20x24.jpg
So, now you have two clearly identified image files in your output area and you can provide those to whomever is printing for you, etc. Discard them when you're done since you always have the original to return to to re-frame again as necessary.
This way you get output sharpening and resolution (in pixels) optimized for your output print size. Maybe not super important for smallish prints-but more important for larger ones. Output at 100 quality.

How can I export to PDF for Offset printing including color and grayscale photo's?

After reading dozens of forum, I still don’t found the answer.
I made a photobook with full-colur and B/W photos for Offset printing. I want the B/W to be in grayscale to avoid color possible color shades. It seems InDesign doesn’t support grayscale, the images become way to dark. Even with exporting without any colour conversion or destination and/or including original colour profiles, the grayscale pictures are being exported to dark to PDF.
How can I export to PDF for Offset printing including color and grayscale photo’s?

Yes, the Photoshop & ID CMYK working spaces are the same
This can get difficult because the 3 programs handle soft proofing differently.
The working spaces don't matter, it's the document profile(s) that manage the preview. So here is the same grayscale image placed in ID on top and PS on the bottom. I've set my Photoshop info to show the doc profile in the lower left corner. I can see my InDesign's Document CMYK profile in my Proof Setup (the Working CMYK is different and isn't being used). Both profiles are effectively the same Coated FOGRA39 (Black Ink FOGRA in the case of PS).
But the previews don't match because I have Overprint turned off, so the InDesign preview is Gamma 2.2 or a "screen" media preview.
If I turn on Overprint preview I get a match because I'm soft proofing for print:

Real 10 Export Plug-in for Mac OS X Doesn't Work?

I need to create RealAudio .rm files from .aiff files. RealAudio now has an export plug-in for quicktime. I know it's not working for 10.4, but I'm on 10.3.9 with QT 7. An export of "Movie to Real Media" does now appear in the export menu. But trying to export an AIFF file starts the process but it instantly fails with an error "-2009". No indication what's going wrong. Any hints. The real.com website is no help.
Is there a better solution for creating .rm real audio files?
Here's the Real Export for MacOSX web page:
http://www.realnetworks.com/products/realexport/specifications.html

I have tried this on 2 different machines and the only thing that worked was to reinstall quicktime 6. Apple does have a reinstalled for quicktime 6 from 7. http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime652reinstallerforquicktime701.ht ml

Exporting MPEG2 files for Blu-ray from 720p60

I am exporting MPEG2 files for Blu-ray from 720p60 using compressor 3.05. I export straight from Final Cut 6 to compressor. It all looks great except I end up with some frames in the video that pixelate. It is just one frame, and the average viewer may not see it, but if you go frame by frame you see it. I thought it was just a bad export, but I exported the file again and the same thing happens again on the exact same frame. The fact that it happened again on the exact same frame was very odd to me. It is this way on five different video files. It's certainly not like that in the original on my timeline, so I don't know why it is doing that.
I guess I will try exporting a quicktime file first and then putting that file through compressor to see if that makes a difference. Any ideas from anybody?

Exporting a quicktime file first still produced the pixelated frame. I'm not sure what else to try.
