Is there a way to create an "edit decision list" (clips, start/end points, timeline order) from a project?

I have completed a project draft and would like to record the clip information so I can carry it forward to another project. I can look up the information manually, but wonder if Premiere Elements 10 has a way to export that information to a printable (or electronic) format.

Thanks for the reply. I do not see Premiere Elements offering what you seek.
If we eliminate any contributions from the Elements Organizer
a. In Project Media, there is a list view where the imported files are listed. There are columns of data associated with each file.
It used to be that one of those columns was for Comments and a few other fields for user input. That has long since disappeared, and what is still there appears non functional for user input. The user can right click a blank area in Project Media and select Edit Columns, but that is about it. There is no user entry opportunities that I see.
b. The Timeline unnumbered markers offer the opportunity for comments for each of the Timeline clips as described in the following blog post
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Forget Me Not Clip Details and Timeline Unnumbered Markers
c. The project file (project.prel) has an associated Notepad document that could be looked for for project data. Much is in codes. The Elements Organizer details would seem to me to be preferred over trying to draw information from the Notepad document of a saved/closed project.prel.
I am not sure if those with scripts and programming know how could find a way to force Premiere Elements to yield the information that you want in the format that you want?
I will think about this some more. But, right now the above is my impression of your thread question and a possible Premiere Elements project Edit Decision List.

Multiclip Edits Problematic with EDL's (Edit Decision Lists)

Gentlemen, I exported a sample EDL for my on line bay from a multiclip edit from three angles (P2 Card Files) I created and they are seeing the list as one Reel Name instead of the three reel names if I cut it traditionally.
I understand a multiclip is creating a new single clip in my bin of the three source clips, and that it is creating its own new name. But is there not a way for the EDL to be created and exported so that the edit list reflects the original file source names, not the single multiclip name?
I also tried collapsing the multiclip but got the same EDL result.
Thanks for your input.

Might try performing a match frame/replace routine in your sequence after collapsing the multiclips? i.e, replace the clips in the sequence with the original master clips... This would go pretty fast I'd think. Just place the playhead anywhere within a clip, type f, and then simply use the replace edit on each one.
Try it with a duplicate of the original sequence...

Edit decision lists

Is it possible to export an EDL from Final Cut Express and import it into Final Cut Pro 5?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

That being said, rather than an EDL, you may want to export an XML file from FCE for use in FCP. XML transfers much more info and you will be able to carry over a higher level of complexity in the project file.
Not sure what level XML FCE can export, but FCP 5.1 can deal with v1 & v2.

Can I dumb down my footage for easy editing and use an edl (edit decision list) with the original..

Can I convert my footage to something Premiere Elements can handle easily and then use an edl with the original footage to get the quality I want?
Thanks,
Brian

I use DigitalMedia Converter 2.7 (an older version) from Deskshare, and it does great batch conversions. However, I have never used it for H.264, so cannot comment. It is shareware, but they have a trial. Going back many years, the trials were fully functional, but limited on the time - 30 days, IIRC.
With an i7, and a good amount of RAM, plus a good I/O (HDD's) setup, the H.264 material should edit smoothly. H.264 (all flavors) is CPU intensive, but the i7 should breeze through it.
Can you tell us about your I/O sub-system, i.e. your HDD's, their size, speed, controller type, free space and how you have them allocated?
Good luck,
Hunt

EDL/Edit Change List

Hi,
Is there an edit change list option, where I can record all editing changes I have made? I tried to export an EDL, but it doesn't seem like there is a way to export an EDL for multiple tracks. Is there an option for exporting an EDL with multiple tracks?
Thanks!

Nope, that's the Edit Decision List. A change list is literally a list of changes between one sequence and another. Let's say for whatever reason the production has a tight production schedule and they had to send off a Non-locked cut to audio post production or a VFX house. Then a couple of weeks later you need to send out the official locked cut, and most of the time they will ask for a Change List detailing all the changes made so they can update their projects. Avid Filmscripe does it and I think there's a 3rd party software for FCPX called change list X.

Improvements to Export Item in Edit History List

1st off - I really like that there is an 'Export - (date/time)' item in the history list - thanks .
2nd - If a title could be added to the export, that would help.
3rd - If an export plugin could intervene - that would be cool too.
For example, my web plugin uses 4 phases of export, and I typically do it with 2 tree-sync exports, so I have 6 non-descript export entries each time I export after editing.
If I could have that web export condensed from 4 to 1 and have the tree-exports labeled to distinguish - it would be perfect!
Thanks for listening,
Rob

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to show edit mode when click the "Picture" fields.
We can use JSLink to achieve it.
You can follow the steps as below:
1. Save the following code as a js file(like PictureFieldTemplate.js).
// List View – Field open modal dialog Sample
(function () {
// Create object that have the context information about the field that we want to change it output render
var pictureFiledContext = {};
pictureFiledContext.Templates = {};
pictureFiledContext.Templates.Fields = {
//"Picture" is the column name. "Picture": { "View": pictureFiledTemplate }
SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides(pictureFiledContext);
function pictureFiledTemplate(ctx) {
var url= ctx.CurrentItem[ctx.CurrentFieldSchema.Name];
var itemID=ctx.CurrentItem.ID;
var itemTitle=ctx.CurrentItem.Title;
return "<img alt='"+url+"' src='"+url+"' complete='complete' onclick=\"openModalDialog('EditForm.aspx?ID="+itemID+"','"+itemTitle+"')\" />";
function openModalDialog(url,title)
var options = {
title: "Item-"+title,
width: 600,
height: 600,
url: url
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);
return false;
2. Upload the js file into Document Library.
3. Edit the list view page.
4. Edit the list web part. Go to Miscellaneous -> JS Link.
5. Add the following URL into the JS Link textbox.
~site/Shared Documents/PictureFieldTemplate.js
Result:
If you just want to show edit mode when click a picture, SharePoint provide a column “Edit” to achieve this function.If you don’t want to use the default image, we can use jQuery to change it.

XML tags in an "export : XML" Report Template

Hi All,
I'm using the export XML report template to produce XML from a query. One of the column contains XML tags and the template is translating eg: if the column is "Groups" then I get:
<Groups>& lt ;Group& gt ;Sales & lt ;/Group & gt ; & lt ;Group& gt ;IT& lt ;/Group& gt ;</Groups>(ignoring all the spaces - OTN is translating the & gt 's :)
instead of:
<Groups><Group>Sales<Group><Group>IT</Group></Groups>Is there an easy way to stop this ?
Thanks,
Steve

How to recover IN & OUT after exporting XML file from iMovie9 to FinalCut ?

Here is my WorkFlow :
- Log & Capture my HDV footage in FCP - ProRes422.
- Move the captured ProRes 422 clips to a new EVENT in iMovie.
- Roughcut my edits in iMovie with no effects, no audio goof offs, ... just straight cuts.
- Share ( export ) XML FCP file >> import XML file to FCP >> create Archive of FCP project with MediaManager to gather used clips in a new project.
Everything is great, BUT :
clips that MediaManager gathers in the browser window do not have the In & Out points, although clips on the timeline representing frame accurate cuts from iMovie.
Is there any way to do this and have the in & out points in browser clips matching to the cuts on the timeline ?

Do what you want, I'm not trying to change your workflow, but you can do all you say you do in FCP. If you change the browser to icon view, you can place the icons in a storyboard sequence right in the browser, and the icons are scrubable as well. In FCP, you can export EDLs, which you can't do in iMovie. You can also set the timeline window to dislplay the clips in Filmstrip view, which gives you the same visual representation that you have in iMovie. If you zoom all the way into your timeline, you can see every single frames as a thumbnail.
You already have the pro application. You're really only slowing yourself down by rough cutting in iMovie. But do as you will. In the end, it's really only about telling a story. I just prefer to have the least amount of obstacles while doing so.

Help please - Contacts freezes when I try to edit distribution lists

When I try to edit the addresses distribution list for a group, Contacts freezes with a spinning beachball. I've tried exporting the group as a CSV file, trashing the entire Address Book folder in Library > Application Support, launching Contacts and importing the CSV file, but this hasn't helped.
Editing distribution lists in Address Book / Contacts has been problematic since at least Lion. Seems like Contacts development was foisted off on a handful of green interns a long time ago.
Can anyone suggest an iCloud- & iPhone-compatible third-party contacts manager with some back-end muscle? Cobook is a nice front-end, but it doesn't solve my problem.

Well, I found that it doesn't actually freeze - it just takes 20 minutes or so to respond. This with a database of about 3,700 contacts. It also takes 5 minutes or so to accept the renaming of a smart group.
Who in **** built this thing? And, why are they spending more time on simulating fake leather and taking away and then restoring 3-panel view than on making this a halfway decent database?
Sadly, the only contacts app I can find that seems to have a robust back end is made by - Microsoft. Sad.

Editing Autofill List for Custom Metadata Fields

I have 13,000+ photographs cataloged in Aperture 2.1 In an effort to better manage these photographs, I have added custom metadata for my own use. The fields let me know whether I have printed for my portfolio, watermarked, added to my web site, status of release, etc. All of this data is manually entered and at times my fingers don't always hit the correct keys on the keyboard so I end up with autofill data that is incorrect. I have been unable to find a way to edit the autofill data for custom metadata fields. Selecting 'Edit Autofill List' does not give me access to my custom field autofill information. Am I missing something? Is this an oversight on my part or on the part of the application?

Unfortunately I'm not using presets to do this. I don't think presets will help me with this, but it could be just that I don't understand presets that well. I use presets for entering Metadata from a shoot as I 'import' the raw files into Aperture. Maybe I'm trying to do something that Aperture was never intended to do, yet I need to have as few locations where I track
As an example, as I print a photograph for my portfolio I mark one of the custom fields labelled 'Printed' as 'Yes'. Later I can locate those 4 or 5 star photographs that haven't been printed and decide if I want to print them. I use the same type of arrangement for my website with an 'Added to web' indicator as 'Yes'. I may also mark that 'Printed' field as 'N/A'. The reason follows. For watermarking photographs before adding them to my site via iWeb, I export and the photographs and then reimport the watermarked photographs into a separate project but since these photographs are at a lower resolution, have a different color profile and are jpegs, I never print them for my portfolio so I mark them 'N/A' in the 'Printed' field. Well my fingers do slip on the keys and before I realize it the nifty autofill now requires that I type not just the 'N' to get an 'N/A', but I must type it all, because one time I typed 'N and a space' or some such and that is what autofills. It even happens with 'Yes'. I suppose the real answer is to be more careful as I type, but that is not my reality.
So, all I'm looking for is a way to have access to the autofill list that is created for my custom metadata fields so that I can delete the erroneous autofill entry. I've thought about deleting the field entirely and recreating it, but that would remove all those indicators or flags that I have already entered for my photographs.
Alternatively I could find an IPTC field that I am not using and find a way to use it, (because those fields have autofill lists that can be edited). However my record keeping would be exported with the photograph. Some of the information that I collect is private and should not be included in the metadata while other information should be; that is why I've settled on custom metadata fields.
I hope there is a simple answer to this that I'm overlooking.
If someone else has another way of tracking this same information that is better than the custom metadata fields, I would like to hear about it. However, it would mean reworking all my photographs that Aperture currently manages.

Automated export appearing on database list

Hello,
I have an Azure SQL Database (Web edition) with an automated export set for daily exports.
Sometimes (like today for instance) when I log into Azure management portal, I see an additional database listed with the name of my export.
As far as I know, an export should not be listed as a new available database, right?
Why this is happening and how can I fix that?
Thank you,
Igor
.NET Software developer for industrial internet and automation system.

Hello Igor,
Thank you for asking this question.
The Automated Export service creates a database copy of the database you are exporting. It then will perform the export operation on the copy of the database. This is done to guarantee transaction consistency during the export. After the export has completed
the database copy will be deleted.
You can learn more about Import/Export and Automated Export here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/hh335292.aspx
Additionally if you are interested in our Basic, Standard, or Premium service tiers, they come with built-in restore capabilities.
You can learn more about these capabilities and other business continuity capabilities here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/hh852669.aspx
If you would like to share more about your scenario or discuss Azure SQL Database's backup and restore capabilities in further detail please email me at Elfish at Microsoft dot com.
Thanks and I hope this helps,

EXPORT.XML file used during Java export?

Hi all !!!
I'm doing an export of a Solution Manager 7.01 system. This system also has a CPS (redwood) installation in thev database java schema.
What happened was that not all tables listed in the EXPORT.XML existed, so I got a failure.
I then "undeployed" CPS, and deleted all CPS files from the database (JCS_). However, when I restarted (or started from the beginning) I got the same error. The EXPORT.XML (in the export java directory) still have all the JCS_ tables listed.
This file is recreated during every restart, so I tested to create a script which override this file with one without the JCS_* tables all the time (more than 100 times a minute). But the export still has the JCS_* tables in the list during export.
So is the EXPORT.XML even used during export, or does it keep the values in memory already when the file is created.
And a second question is: From where does the input to the EXPORT.XML file come from? It's not from the database since there is not a trace of any JCS_* tables in the database however ju list information from the DB2 dictionary (DB2 9.5.2)
So can anyone tell me how to skip these tables from the export?
// Claes

Hello Claes,
is this system (CPS) a copy or migration of other system ? it happens sometimes that old schema tables remains in the system.
regards, Javier

Health App: How to work with exported xml?

Hello,
is there a simple way to process exported (xml) data from health app?
I've tried it in Excel, but some of the collected data, like heartbeat rate, is strangely formatted. It’s a real pain to reformat and process that data in Excel, and it accelerates my heartbeat too ;-) .
If someone knows a more simple way it would be nice if you can share it?
Thanks a lot.

You might have to tweak this code some to get it to work, but it should at least lay the groundwork for solving your problem:
Code Snippet
/* Declare an XmlNode object and initialize it with the XML response from the GetListItems method. The last parameter specifies the GUID of the Web site containing the list. Setting it to null causes the Web site specified by the Url property to be used.*/
            System.Xml.XmlNode nodeListItems =
                MyListsService.GetListItems
                (listName, viewName, query, viewFields, rowLimit, queryOptions, null);
System.Xml.XmlDocument xd = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
xd.LoadXml(nodeListItems.OuterXml);
System.Xml.XmlNamespaceManager nm = new System.Xml.XmlNamespaceManager(xd.NameTable);
nm.AddNamespace("rs", "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:rowset");
nm.AddNamespace("z", "#RowsetSchema");
nm.AddNamespace("rootNS", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap");
System.Xml.XmlNodeList nl = xd.SelectNodes("/rootNS:listitems/rs:data/z:row", nm);
foreach(System.Xml.XmlNode listItem in nl)
listBoxProsjekter.Items.Add(listItem.OuterXml);
I hope this helps!
