FCP Project - Collect Files for Export?

I have a FCP 7 project which is to be sent to someone to use. I don't want them getting all the footage that has not been used - just all the clips on the timeline. They are all individual clips pretty much shot on a 5D MKII. Is there any way that I can collect/send just the used clips on the sequence without exporting a single quicktime file, or having to collect them all manually?

More...
For Media Manager to work with only the footage used, your clips must have Reel Names assigned to them.
This is a unique identifier for the tape or card that your clips were taken from.
It can be added when you bring the footage in -example:
Or added in the Reel column of the Browser afterwards. You don't need Reel Names for graphics and still images or items such as Motion projects.
If your footage does not have a Reel Name, FCP assumes it came from a source which is not recapturable (a live camera feed is one possible scenario) and will save all of it even if you only used a few seconds.

PROBLEM Compressing FCP PROJECT into file for DVDPRO

**this is my information...**
I'm EXPORTING a FCP project which is 45 minutes in length. I EXPORT it to COMPRESSOR. COMPRESSOR opens and shows the FILE in up LEFT box where I drag Presets. It gives me the PROJECT NAME but in the little picture box it just shows the FCP ICON. I know when I EXPORT a QT movie of a FCP project, a frame of the project appears in the little box where I drag the presets. This time it doesn't. So I don't know if that's an issue. I'm using DVD preset "DVD: Best Quality 90 minutes". It begins to compress the FCP file which takes roughly 2 hours. I check and it says it's "successful". BUT when I open DVDPRO and import the project to burn there is only ONE FILE not TWO FILES which would be the AUDIO and the VIDEO file. so DVDPRO does not recognize this and it won't burn. What do I do? THANKS for you help. Andy

Try exporting the sequence as a self-contained file using "current settings". This should result in one file with all the quality of what was on the timeline. Make sure this is in a folder located on your scratch (non-system) drive.
Then, open up Compressor, drag in the just created file, apply the "DVD best 90 minutes" preset making sure both the m2v and ac3 compressor actions are included and set the output directory to "Source".
Let it run.
Do you have .m2v and .ac3 files located in the same folder as the original self contained .mov file when complete?

Iphoto fails to render files for export to certain folders after upgrade

I just upgraded to Yosemite and the latest version of iPhoto but I now unfortunately get an error message when I try to export photos. It seems to work if I export to the main Documents folder but fails if I try to export to a sub folder of the main Documents folder (very odd) which is where I want the exports to be saved. The error message says "Unable to render file for export:/Volumes/NO NAME/DCIM/IMG-1058.jpg". I don't know why the path name shown here is a SD Card path which is not connected. Hope someone can help? It worked fine before the upgrade to iPhoto 9.6.1
Thanks
Craig

The iPhoto preference file might be wonky. Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

How to define table specific QUERY in parameter file for Export Utility

Hi All
I am trying to create A SINGLE parameter file for export utility. I have 2 tables and want to use a different QUERY condition for each of these tables. However i do not want to create 2 seperate parameter files for this and run/script exp twice.
Is there a way to do it ?
NOTE: I am using normal export utility for Version 9 and NOT oracle data pump.
Following is an example of what i want to achive in parameter file:
Tables = (TabA,TabB)
# for table - TabA
QUERY = "where id =25"
#for table - TabB
QUERY = " where court_id=54 and id >1"
Please advice on syntax of parameter file so that exp knows that it has to process 1st condition for only TabA and second condition for TabB.
Any samples/syntax examples are greately appreciated.
thanks in advance!
cool tech

No there is no such alternative. Query condition is applicable to all the tables listed in TABLES parameter.

In iPhoto I get "unable to render file for export" when trying to export a file to an SD card?

I have been trying to save jpg files to an SD card. When I export from iPhoto is says "unable to render file for export". It will let me export to the desktop. Then when I try to copy or move to the SD card, it says the SD card does not have enought free space. It's a 1 gig card and the files are under 100k. I have tried different SD cards, formating the cards with the camera. The card has 200 filles (57mb) when I started and wanted to add more. I have ereased the card trying to see if that would help. No go! Any ideas?

What is the filesystem on that card?
i assume, you made sure that the little white lock mechanism at the side of the card is unlocked?
Try, if you can set the "Ignore ownership on this volume" flag for the card in the "Get Info" panel for the card.

When i queue a file for export the encoder is changing my settings to ACC Audio & my settings are not in the drop down

when i queue a file for export the encoder is changing my settings to ACC Audio & my settings are not in the drop down. Help

There's something else going on. When you search, the search box searches the Spotlight database that it created when indexing. It doesn't search the computer again. I suspect a hosed index. System Preferences->Spotlight->Privacy->delete all volumes and readd them back in. That should reindex the computer and all attached HDs. BTW, by default there are many places Spotlight doesn't return information from, mainly the various Library folders and the System folder. If you want to find everything, do this:
Click on the Desktop, CMD+F, click on Kind button, select Other, drill down to File invisible, check it, continue down to System files, check it, and click OK. Now, click on + button, click on the left-hand item and select System files and select are included, click on the plus button, click on the left-hand item and select File visibility and select visible or invisible, select File Name, save the search, drag its icon to the Dock, and use to search your entire Mac—currently starts with By Name, but Contents is available. I use this instead of CMD+F or CMD+spacebar for all searches.

FCP deleting render files on export

Hi,
the FCP system that I'm working on (Mac Pro 2 x2.8ghx quad core / 10.6.4 / FCS 3) has developed an annoying problem of deleting render files on sequences when I try to export them. Meaning that I have to continually re-render sequences, and I can't export as a reference clip (because the render files appear to disappear as soon as the sequence is sent to export).
Does anybody have any suggestions that they could help me with? I've got a lot of material (10 shows in ProResLT HD), so it takes a long time to render each show, only to have the renders disappear as soon as the file is exported.
I've tried deleting the preference files, and it's not helping.
My seqeunces have been cut in multi cam (sequences set to ProResLT 1920 x 1080 25p), but have all been collapsed before rendering & export.
thanks in advance for your help!
Cheers
Andrew

Hi Tom,
I've returned to this project, and I'm still having similar problems - once I've tried to export a sequence, many (but definitely not all) of the renders are lost on export, or if the export was cancelled.
I've been careful to ensure that every option is enabled for the "Render All", and we've reloaded the FCS 3 software, but we're still editing from the same original projects (one project per artist for a batch of artists that we're making DVDs for).
I'd love to hear any more ideas or suggestions.
Cheers
Andrew

Trimming HD video files for export from Windows to After Effects on a MAC

Hi,
I have some .MTS files created using 2 HD camcorders:
1) Panasonic HDC-TM700 which shoots full HD @ 1920 x 1080 and
2) JVC Everio GZ-HM550 which shoots the same HD resolution
I am working with PP CS5 on Windows 7
I need to trim some small pieces (5 -10 seconds) out of many of the .MTS files to send to someone using After Effects MAC and FC Pro
In trying to keep the highest HD resolution of 1920 x 1080, the number of choices to select when creating a new sequence and then when exporting from PP is confusing.
Note: I notice that 2 clips I have in my PP project bin at the same time have different frame rates which I believe that 1 each came from my different cameras:
file 1) 29.97fps 48000hz compressed stereo
file 2) 59.94fps 48000hz compressed 5.1
Can anyone guide me here on sequence and export settings & codecs to maintain the HD resolution and least loss of quality on export?
Will the 2 different frame rates prior to export cause any issues? I'm assuming PP will re-interpret for output.
Thanks

> I understand the files are not compressed.
You misunderstand. The files are compressed. But they're compressed without losing any information. Losslessly compressed movies are a lot smaller than uncompressed movies---but they're still bigger than movies compressed with a lossy codec that would be more suitable for final delivery and distribution.
> How long are the movies your associate sends you and approx what do file sizes look like?
I tend to work on individual clips that are from several seconds to a few minutes long. They're usually a small number of GB each. Don't fret about large file sizes for intermediate files. Making movies small matters when you're streaming them for final delivery, not when you're handing over a hard disk or using an FTP server to exchange files for post-production work.

Reorganize/Rearrange old Project/Media files for fresh start: Newbie 101

I’m just getting seriously again into FCP learning curve, know that organization is vital, and have set Settings/Preferences correctly for fresh start. I say “fresh” because awhile back I started but was not properly organized and was then interrupted (HD went belly up) before getting far other than working on a single project. ALL of those various files now sit in a FCP Media folder within another folder (thus at a second level) full of recovered files from the earlier crashed and meanwhile replaced external hard disk. My question is how do I regroup/divide/move this material so that it’s properly awaiting further work from the new FCP Projects folder on my local disk and the new FCP Media folder on one of my my externals. At present, to repeat and perhaps to clarify, EVERYTHING of this old material now sits within the single FCP Media folder on the second level of one of my externals. I could, of course, just trash everything and avoid the present quandary, but I’d rather keep it but place everything properly for the next time around when I can work with it correctly. I imagine some or all of the work done earlier may have been OK, though improperly placed for workflow. Thanks for any guidance. I’m hesitant because I don’t want to make any further mistakes as I learn and start again. I’m sure this is a simple situation for those who know what they’re doing.

Sorry. Of course you're right. Think I should resend, rewrite?
Still need some guidance on this simple problem.

Thanks. Frank

Advice on exporting PPCS3 HDV Project to file for WD TV player

I would like to maintain HD quality through the Export process to create a file that will be played on a Western Digital TV HD Media Player. I have tried a multiple of export settings without success. My goal is to play back using the WD TV player with the file stored on a USB drive...file size is not an issue.
I capture the HDV footage from a Canon HV30 camcorder into PremProCS3
I use the Project Settings preset = HDV, HDV 1080i30 (60i)
I have stabbed around with Export, Movie... as well as with the Adobe Media Encoder and can't find the magic
When I capture/edit in iMovie09 on a MacBookPro, I can easily export to a .m4v which plays back in great HD quality on my 46" TV via the WD TV player. But I can't seem to find the right preset or custom setting within Premiere Pro to get the job done. I greatly prefer the PP editing environment and want to stick with it.
The attached jpg file is a scan from the WD TV User Manual...supported video formats.
Thanks, in advance.

Hey, I'm glad I found you guys. This problem has been messing up my workflow for over a year. Maybe you can help:
I'm shooting HDV with Sony HD1000, capturing with HDV split, editing in Premiere. (So far, so good) Problem is, exporting from premiere (HDV 60i project) produces "squashed" and letter-boxed video, and my graphics and titles are "mis-aligned" with the video. It's like premiere scales down my video files, letter-boxes them, but leaves graphics untouched, which of course throws everything off. My only work around is to edit in an NTSC project, and scale down every single video clip myself, which yields lots of rendering. I thought I solved the problem, by importing the entire premiere project into after effects. Export worked great, no loss of quality, but after effects doesn't recognize premiere time-remapping, titles or wipe transitions (and has issues with .m2t audio)!
I've tried every form of exporting from an hdv project (adobe media encoder, straight to encore). ALWAYS squashes and letter-boxes the video files, while leaving the graphics/titles as is (now appearing larger than they did in the program monitor and less crisp.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I love premiere for standard dv, I just can't get around this obstacle with HDV...

How to append date in YYYYMMDD format in .par file for export

Hi,
Database Version: 10.2.0.4
OS: AIX
I have an export script which reads .par file and executes "exp" to export schema.
I would like to add date in "YYYYMMDD" format for the dump file like this
owner=scott file=/exports/scott_${`date '+%Y%m%d'`}.dmp feedback=10000
I know above statement will not help, but I am giving it as example on what I want to achieve.
I want the file name as =/exports/scott_20120712.dmp
Thanks

Eliminating space above character in ai file for exporting to png

Hi,
The image above is for a website which has a colored background. The image will be exported as a PNG file so that the background is transparent. I am unable to eliminate the space above 40th. It seems the bounding box around the character can not go past the artboard area. Is there a way to crop in Illustrator or do something to the character so that it is flush at the top on the artboard area?
Thanks,
Angela

Angela,
As I (mis)understand it, you may consider this:
1) Edit>Preferences>General>tick Use preview Bounds;
2) Select the live Type and Effect>Path>Outline Path;
3) Set the Artboard to fit the artwork and export;
4) Edit>Preferences>General>untick Use preview Bounds.

IPhoto 9.6.1 unable to render file for export

I am now no longer able to export photos as jpg after updating to iPhoto 9.6.1, running Yosemite 10.10.2

Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
