Exporting Orginal files in Albums in Aperture with Applescript

Hello
I am moving my library (25000+ pics) to Lightroom 4 from Aperture and I found this script that does a great job in exporting edited files to a folders on a disk.
The last script on this conversation:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/453617?start=0&tstart=0
Would it be possible to edit the script to do the same thing but export the orginal master files?

  • Media Encoder CC 2014 Exports larger file than Media Encoder CC with same settings

    We like to deliver final exports to most of our clients with the following settings:
    Format: Quicktime
    Codec: H.264
    Quality: 100
    1920x1080, 23.976, progressive, square pixels
    use maximum render quality
    audio: uncompressed, 48khz, stereo, 16 bit, single track
    When I used to export a ~5 minute video using these settings with Premiere or Media Encoder CC (7.2.2.29), I would get a file ~1GB. If I export a ~5 minute video using these settings in Premiere or Media Encoder CC 2014 (8.0.1.48), the result is ~ 4GB.
    Any thoughts on why this might be? I assume it's a user error but I can't nail down what it is.
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi matthewrichie88,
    I used the same settings that you have mentioned above on a Windows 7 computer and got the same file size with both versions of Media Encoder. Please specify if you have a Mac or a Windows and which OS exactly? It would really help if you can post screenshots of your export settings with both versions. Give more details about the source files as well.
    Thanks!

  • Export RAW file from iPhoto to Aperture

    I want to start using Aperture 2 for my photo editing, so I need to import a number of RAW photos that are currently stored in iPhoto. This seems like it should be a simple enough process, but the different methods I have attempted have only resulted in a JPG version of the photo being imported.
    I have spent quite a bit of time perusing previous posts and haven't been able to find an answer, so any help or direction would be greatly appreciated!

    I don't think there is any reason to export the photos from iPhoto first. Aperture can browse the iPhoto library and will allow you to drag and drop the original files.
    In Aperture:
    1. Pull down File > Show iPhoto Browser.
    2. Find the photos you want, highlight them by Shift+clicking several in a row or Command+clicking discontinuous photos. Make sure the extension on the file corresponds to the type of RAW file your camera shoots (.CR2 for Canon, .NEF for Nikon, etc).
    3. Drag and drop the selected files to the Library icon in the Projects list. This will create a new project called "Untitled Project" that contains your photos.

  • When exporting files to web pages Aperture keeping losing files, so for instance, if I choose to export 600 images to a new web page, it might do 524 images but not the full 600. I've tried resetting Aperture, it's the latest version etc etc. Help please!

    If anyone can help me with this I would be seriously grateful.
    When exporting mutliple files to web pages Aperture keeping losing files, so for instance, if I choose to export 600 images to a new web page, it might make 524 pages but not the full 600. I've tried resetting Aperture and its persmission and am using the latest version of 3.
    I have 3600 images which I need to upload as sublfolders, each with their own URL and at the moment Aperture is dropping of anything from 1 to 90 images.
    This is critical as people need to see each and every on of these images online. So if a file has 600 photos in it, Aperture should make a URL with 600 full image pages. And this is what it's not doing. On small files, say 30 or so it seems to work well, it's when it gets to more than that the problem starts.
    I've used Aperture in the past under previous versions and not had this problem.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks.

    Hi Jack,
    Thanks for responding (as it seems as though no one else has been able to provide any insight as of yet)! Not sure if you saw my recent post, but the version of Aperture on the 2008 MacBook has been upgraded to 3.1.2 (not sure how; I bought it in 2009, but only have OS X 10.5.8... which apparently can't house 3.1.2 of Aperture, but hey, like many other anomalies i'm encountering, I'm no longer surprised!). I am unable to upgrade it any further, as it warns me that my OS X does not fit the requirements. I exported the projects as libraries; however, like I posted before, apparently these are from too old of a version for the new Aperture (3.3.1) to handle and import.
    It's getting to the point where I'd almost pay to upgrade the OS X on my previous MacBook (10.5.8) to something newer in order to THEN update Aperture to a newer version; however, my previous MacBook simply cannot handle this (the specs are awful -- hence my decision to save up and upgrade to the newest MBP with Retina).
    I've spent hours upon hours transferring files, libraries as projects, previews, versions, even masters (though, apparently some of them aren't accessible?) with no luck. I've rebuilt the library and reprocessed everything. And this is all after having to return one MBP already since Aperture 3.3.1 is glitch-y as it is, and froze everything for having a "managed library". So, now that I know that I have to deal with a referenced library in Aperture... I just need to actually transfer my previous library to my new one (hopefully WITH adjustments since these are years worth of photos and work).
    Again, any help is appreciated. I've lost enough sleep, time, and vision health over this at this point.
    Also, I know Migration Assistant is an option, I was told that it wouldn't work properly anyway because of the different operating systems, and the potential for problems.

  • IMovie can't find orginal file/source....

    I transfered a number of files that contained clips and sound bites that are being used in my projects in iMovie, but after I'd transfered those files into an external hard drive, I wasn't able to use those clips in iMovie, it showed "!" and stated iMovie couldn't find the orginal file or source. So with the files in my external Hard Drive, how can I put those files back so that they go right back into place where they were orginally placed, to proceed in completing my project in iMovie?
    Thanks.

    It does sound like you're talking about the Mac version of iMovie (not the iOS version, which is the focus of this discussion area).  You may have better luck posting this question at the following area...

  • Is it possible to export a file from Organizer with the list of all the images in an album?

    Is it possible to export a file from Organizer with a list of all the images in a certain album? In filling one of my albums I did not save my edited images to the same file... they are spread out a bit.... Now I want them to make a book with them (outside of Elements).

    As far as I know, Elements does not have the ability to create lists.
    The solution to your problem of making a book outside of Elements is to place all the desired photos in an Album and then select File->Export->As New Files which gives you the ability to make a copy of every photo in the album in a new folder, from which you would create your photobook.

  • Exporting raw files out of Aperture

    How does one go about getting the raw files back out of aperture? I know that when opening the external editor it opens up in Tiff or PDS. I want to get my original Raw file out to being working with out the processing of the raw file in Aperture. Can any one help me?

    Option 1. File>Export>Export Master... (also available by Right-clicking/Control-clicking on the selected thumbnails or by pressing Command-Shift-S)
    Option 2. File>Relocate Master... and start storing the images as referenced files outside the Library.
    Option 3. Use the search box in the top right of the forum pages...

  • Aperture 3 export corrupted files

    Some of the files that I export are corrupted. Has anyone else seen this.

    I got in touch with Apple on this one and they suggested the following which seems to be working for me. This is a work around and the guy at Apple, who was very helpful, has escalated the problem to the engineers. I will post the results when I can..
    1 - Click on the project you want to export.
    2 - Go to Export, then click on "project as new library"(you can check the activity by going to "window - show activity" once at 100% go to 3)
    3 - Quit Aperture
    4 - Double-Click the exported Library
    5 - Now export your files as you would normally do.
    Hopefully this works for you, its frustrating but I think Apple are now on the case..
    Cheers

  • Aperture crashes upon trying to play video. Exporting .AVI file wont play.

    Hi,
    I uploaded my holiday pictures and 4 videos into Aperture and when I try to play the videos I get pretty bad beachball with no playback of the video. When I export the file I am presented with a SAM_xxx.AVI file. (SAM from Samsung camera). I have tried to play the file with Quicktime, VLC & MPlayer X. I ran the 4 files through DivFix++ and I am given the error, "Input file is not .avi"
    Any thoughts as to whats going on? Aperture shows a thumbnail for the videos and VLC shows correct length but no playback.
    Thanks

    I have both an iPad and iPhone connected to my Mac. I disconnected both, then restarted my Mac and Safari. No improvement. Used Lion Recovery System to reload Lion. Interesting thing, Safari 5.1.7 was installed rather than Safari 6. This made me happy, as Safari 6 has been nothing but trouble for me. When I opened Safari, it took me back to apple.com, even though my homepage is yahoo.com. I was immediately confronted with the infamous Steve Jobs video, that has crashed my computer every time it's popped up on my screen. This time, however, it didn't crash ... I just got the spinning beachball for about 30 seconds, then the Quicktime thermometer at the bottom started moving and I was sure it was going to work. After the thermomter passed about one-fourth of the way over, the screen blanked and the Quicktime thermometer started all over again. This behavior persisted until I got tired of it and went to my home page. However, I can open Quicktime and watch videos again, even the YouTube ones that were crashing every time. Now I just have to figure out how to never let a Software Update stick me with Safari 6 ever again. If it does, I'm simply through with it and will make Firefox my default browser. Thank you so much for getting me this far. I will keep monitoring these discussions to see if Apple ever gets Safari 6 to the point that I'll give it another trial.

  • How can I export photos from Aperture with a new sequence and ignore the embedded JPEG number? Have tried renumbering to no avail.

    How can I export photos from APERTURE with a new sequence and ignore the embedded JPEG number? Have tried renumbering to no avail.
    has anyone resolved this issue?
    This is now the second big Problem with using Apple's Appeture with NO apparent FIX...
    Aperture has NO DIRECT way to Burn to a CD/DVD & apparently NO way to RE-SEQUENCE the numbering system????
    ANYONE... I wish APPLE would address/fix these 2 problems... LIGHTROOM I guess is next?

    Hi David,
    Coming in and whining loudly is rude.  We are all volunteers here, voluntarily sharing our expertise so that users like you can make the most of their time with Aperture.  Speaking just for myself:  although I do care about your success with software (it's why I'm here), I don't care what software you use.  If you want to use Lightroom, do so, and post your questions in an appropriate forum.
    Burning files to a CD is a file operation done at the system level (it is built into OS X).  Aperture lets your create sharable image-format files from your Images.  You then use OS X's tools to burn those files to a CD.  Iirc, you can set up a "Burn Folder" in Finder, into which you can export files created from your Images, and with a single click burn your CD.
    Naming the files you create by exporting your Images can be tricky.  There are _many_ possibilities.  Some things can't be done.  Sequencing can be done in a number of ways (see Léonie's answer above).  What have you tried?  What was the result?  In what way did this differ from what you expected?

  • How do I make a file to export from a standard album? It rearranges photos from the sequence I created.

    I created a standard photo album. When I try to export to a file or stick file, it rearranges the pictures. How to keep the same order???

    Two ways to get the order you want:
    1 - export out of the album via File ➙ Export ➙ File Export  with the option File Name = Album Name with number.  That will give you Album Name -01.jpg, Album Name-02.jpg, etc.
    2 - select the photos in the album and use the Photos ➙ Batch Chage ➙ File Name to Text with the option to add a sequential number added to each file name.  That will give you Text-01.jpg, Text-02.jpg, etc.  Then export as before but with File Nane = Title selected.

  • None of my apple apps can export files, including Mail, iPhoto, Aperture and Preview.

    None of my apple apps can export files, including Mail, iPhoto, Aperture and Preview. When I try to export a file from any of these programs, the app hangs for a few seconds and then does nothing, not even open an export dialogue. Same thing happens when I try to attach a file to an email. Also, maybe related and maybe not, Photoshop will crash after the splash screen. All of these app function properly when using a different User Account.
    I've tried deleting my application preferences in my user library and when that didn't work, I deleted my account and then created a new one that used the same user directory, which still didn't fix anything.
    I don't really want to make a new user from scratch and have to re-enter license numbers, re-calibrate monitors, recover bookmarks, contancts, etc. etc. if I don't have to, so I would be grateful for any advice.
    Thanks!

  • Aperture 3.1.2 When exporting files to Finder is creating a folder for each file, that means export 200 files is creating 200 folders for each files. Does anyone knows how to fix this. Thanks

    Aperture 3.1.2 When exporting files to Finder is creating a folder for each file, that means export 200 files is creating 200 folders for each files. Does anyone knows how to fix this. Thanks

    No. This is NOT true. I've been battling with this for a couple hours.
    I choose Export>Versions
    choose
    Subfolder Format: Project Name
    no custom subfolder
    Name Format: Current Version Name.
    Aperture creates project folders for each image and names them Projects1, Projects2, Projects3 etc.
    To be sure, I have no project named Projects
    x
    This particular Aperture library has 16 projects. you can see in the screen grab it's created more than 30 folders
    If I uncheck the Subfolder, that is say NONE, I just get images and images and images, not in their project folders (of course, because I've said NONE, so why would it put them in project folders?)
    I just want to export the entire library and have the versions placed in folders named by the projects from which they came.... ez enough, no?

  • Why is it impossible to export a file with the same fidelity as the version iMovie itself plays for me?

    My movie is a photo slideshow using Ken Burns effect throughout, using iMovie 09. It looks beautiful when I play the project directly from within iMovie, even when enlarged to fullscreen playback. Is there really no way to set the quality settings high enough to reproduce this level of quality in an exported file? It seems so, and I don't understand why. "Export to iDVD" is a joke--even with the best quality settings there is an incredible amount of moire patterns and jagged edges. Exporting to Quicktime is better, but still the comparison with the version played from within the application is very poor. I wouldn't care if my computer had to crunch all night to render a file (and my movie is only 12 minutes long), I would just like to be able to view it on other computers or DVD players at the original quality.
    It seems to me that playing it from within iMovie should be *worse*, because iMovie is not only displaying the movie, it has to render it from scratch in realtime by zooming and panning on the photos. So an exported version (i.e. precalculated, prerendered) of the same quality would certainly be playable on a normal device like a DVD player.
    Can anyone explain? Or (but I doubt it) could anyone tell me what I've missed, and explain how to export a pixel-for-pixel, frame-for-frame replication of what iMovie apparently effortlessly displays??

    a DVD is 720x480 and highly compressed.
    … how to export a pixel-for-pixel, frame-for-frame replication of what iMovie apparently effortlessly displays??
    video is compressed - otherwise, files are getting gargantual (a top-notch intermediate in FCPX is 40-120GBs per hour, a disk, for comparrison is 4GB/h).
    two options:
    • in the Export with Quicktime Option, you'll find a bit-rate setting - depending on your other settings (resolution, framerate, codec), 5-10.000 kbps should result in a superb result.
    • instead of a playback-optimized codec as usual h.264, you can give AppleAnimation a try - much larger files, but e.g. less banding. only for use on Macs.
    to transfer lossless to iDVD, choose AppleIntermediate, which is iMovies internal codec.
    .... but a disk with same quality as a computer HDef? Not possible.
