Feature Request: Send to Tape via Media Manager

Please forgive me if this capability is already available in FCP.
I would love to see the ability to automatically transfer all the clips of a particular project, takes and outtakes included, back to a single, new tape using the Media Manager. Furthermore, the Media Manager could modify the timecode info for each of the clips into a new "archive" project to correspond with the newly created tape. This way, I could basically archive entire projects out to tape and have everything I need footage-wise in one place. With such a feature, bringing a project back online would only require a single batch capture.
I understand and use the Send to Tape feature of FCP, but it doesn't modify the project file to correspond to the newly recorded footage that is "Sent". Or does it? Please correct me if there is a way to do this. It apparently doesn't back output on autopilot the way I'm suggesting.
Why not just take large projects offline the old fashioned way?
Many times I have to rent Digibeta decks to capture film transfer footage. This costs costs $400+ each time I need to bring footage back online. I would love to just archive the material out to inexpensive miniDV which is high enough quality for 95% of my work since I rarely ever do color keying.
Also, leaving the footage online is getting to be very hard to manage. Since I like to keep my outtakes for future versions, most of my projects are far too large when collected to fit on DVD-R or even Dual Layer. Furthermore, I've had a few drives go bad recently and it's becoming clear to me that online storage isn't really a sustainable workflow for me.
Any thoughts? I really want to hear from you on this one.

The loss in quality is really not visible with 16mm footage which is my most common stock used. In fact, I have Varicam 24P footage that looks stunning mastered to DV-25.
I would suggest that if an editor was planning on advanced keying or rotoscoping the advantages of 4:2:2 would become apparent. But for TV commerical broadcast and DVD distribution, the quality difference is not very apparent at all. I make TV commercials.
Also, if I print a master to miniDV then dub the miniDV over SDI to Digibeta for broadcast distribution the quality is actually better than miniDV alone. This process actually adds chroma smoothing to the DV's 4:1:1 color space, making it look very, very clean.
I personally think that DV-25 has gotten a bit of a bad name due to the quality of the cameras that use the format, rather than the actual merits of the format itself. Varicam 24P footage looks great downsampled to dv-25, much better than XL-1 footage does for instance. If one notices jaggies in FCP, just activate the 4:1:1 color smoothing filter and walla! The footage looks just like 4:2:2 to the naked eye.
Of course, this is only my opinion.
Alas, with very small text I do get luminance jaggies, presumably from the 1:7 compression, but the workflow I'm describing in this tread would be for source footage, mostly devoid of small text which is added in the FCP project.

  • OS: Feature request: Send message before reset

    Hello..
    I have a feature request for the OS for the BB smartphones.
    When the phone is locked with a password and the number of attempts is exceeded, the phone's memory is wiped and reset to a near-factory state.  This is good; it protects confidential information from falling into the wrong hands.
    What would be useful is, just before the memory is wiped, to send an email message from the default account (probably to the default email account as well, but have this be settable) with information regarding what is happening, a timestamp, and a location as well.  For instance:
    This is an automated message from the Blackberry SmartPhone with the following information:
    Phone number: xxxxxxxxxx
    Serial number: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    <other information such as OS version, &c>
    The number of attempts to unlock the phone has been exceeded.  The phone is being reset and the memory cleaned.
    Date: xx-xx-xxxx
    Time: xx:xx:xx am/pm (TZ information)
    Latitude: dd.ddddddd
    Longitude: dd.dddddd
    You may use this information to locate where the phone was at the time this message was generated.
    Is this possible? Advisable? The serial number could be obtained by looking at the phone, so including it shouldn't be a problem.  The phone number may or may not be included.
    Thanks!

  • Feature Request:  Standard Keyboard Navigation in Media Browser and Project Panel

    It's been a while since I've had time to submit a feature request.  I've wanted to see this one for a while.  If you agree, please submit your own feature request here: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish/
    System Navigational Keyboard Shortcuts in Media Browser and Project Panel
    Windows (and I'm sure Mac) has a standard set of keyboard and mouse navigational shortcuts for keyboard and mouse.  I'm so used to using them in daily browsing (both in Windows Explorer and in any web browser) that missing them in the PPr Media Browser, or getting a different result in the Project Panel, is still very jarring and slows my workflow (even after having used Premiere Pro [again] since version CS4).
    I propose that the Media Browser and Project Panel should honor the OS defaults for keyboard and mouse folder/file navigation.  A few of the standard (Windows) keyboard and mouse navigational shortcuts are listed below (listed in order of most helpful to my own work):
    Moust Back Button = "BACK"
    ALT + LEFT ARROW = "BACK"
    UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT = steps through the various folders within the view.
    UP, DOWN walks through the directory tree while RIGHT expands the currently selected folder and LEFT contracts that directory (twirl down, etc).
    ENTER opens a folder.
    ALT + UP = "Folder Above"
    ALT + RIGHT ARROW = "FORWARD"
    F2 Renames a folder
    ENTER "takes" that name to the clip. (current functionality used ENTER to rename a file/folder).
    ESC cancels the renaming operation.
    Pressing Enter on any piece of Media or Title, etc should take an "expected" action acording to it's context.  (i.e. ENTER on a video clip would load it inot the Source Monitor.  ENTER on a Title would open it in the Title Editor.  ENTER on a folder would take us into that folder).
    These functions exist in both Windows Explorer as well as most modern Web browsers.  When browsing files and Project folders, it's what I've come to expect.  It's muscle memory, if not intuitive.  I realize that many of these keyboard commands are already in use in other windows/panels of the application, therefore, these commands should be Panel-specific (i.e. ALT+LEFT works differently in the Media Browser and Project Panel than it does on the Timeline/Sequence).  And as always, when making such changes (i.e. changing the behavior of ENTER to F2), this set of keys should be highly configurable based on preference:
    Preference:
    checkbox:  Use OS-specific navigational keyboard and mouse commands in Media Browser and Project Panel
    checkbox:  Use the (very few) "classic" Adobe keyboard commands in the Media Browser and Project Panel
    The most common habit I find myself doing in the Media Browser is clicking the BACK button on my mouse—only to realize, yet again, it doesn't work that way in PPr.
    The most common habit I find myself doing in the Project Panel is pressing F2 to rename a folder/bin.  Of course that doesn't work.  And when I've renamed it, I press ENTER to save the name, but that only moves me to the next folder ready to rename it, too.  I also find, out of habit, I try to navigate the bins using the arrow keys and then open the bin/folder using ENTER.  Instead, my bin is asking for a new name and I hit ESC to avoid renaming it—now THERE's a shortcut that works the way it should. 
    I realize this feature may be controversial to some, since it's not the way we're used to doing things in PPr.  However, I'm sure there are just as many out there, like me, who are confounded as to why PPr has never worked with the "conventional" navigation shortcuts found throughout the rest of the operating system, be it Windows or Mac.

  • Feature request: Send meeting updates *only* to those attendees affected bys the change.

    I'm uing iCal in lieu of Outlook in my organization's Exchange environment.  When I add a single invitee to a meeting, EVERY attendee gets spammed with an update and has to re-accept the meeting.
    I just switched back from Outlook '07 because it seems Exchange synchronicity with iCal has vastly improved over the last time I tried it, however this is a bit embarassing for me and annoying for meeting invitees.  Outlook '07 features the option I'm requesting.

  • Feature Request: Option to Quit via "X" and Disable Autostart Without Logging In

    To elaborate on the subject for the DEVs, I would like to request the ability to quit the application quickly or even the option to do so in the settings. Also, I would like to be able to disable autostart without having to log in. I don't use Skype all the time and the accumulation of applications running in the background becomes cumbersome on systems as many other applications each have similar issues of "closing to system tray" or running in the background. 

    You might be able to get where you want using Chaotic Software's MediaRage. It can automate and batch tag editing, including building a Title tag that combines Artist and Title and, to possibly address you other problem, blanking the Artist tag.
    MediaRage is not expensive and it is very powerful, you can even define regexs for how to parse tags.

  • Do I need a media manager anymore?

    In the document "Oracle Database 10g Release 2: A Revolution in Database Technology" at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/oracle10g/pdf/BWP_Overview_10gR2_060205.pdf Oracle says that "In Oracle Database 10g Release 2, the new Oracle Secure Backup tape archiving facility eliminates the need for 3rd party tape backup products".
    Does this mean that I don’t need a media manager like Veritas NetBackup anymore?
    I can’t seem to find anything about this in the new Release 2 documentation. Please would someone point me in the right direction.
    Gavin Rayner

    The question really becomes, what else does NBU do for your organization and can the facilities in 10g r2 fill that need. For example, do you have other databases (DB2, SQL Server) that are backed up by NBU? Do you use advanced client features such as Flashbackup - the ability to back up millions of files at the speed of raw disk, but still have the ability to restore as individual files? There are many more features in NBU (or any other media manager as a matter of fact) than will be available in 10g r2 that need to be reviewed before making this type of decision.
    Sure, you might be able to eliminate the media manager need from your ORCL dbms, but if you use NBU for other reasons, why would you want to manage 2 different tools based on the underlying technology (unless of course, there is no common way to meet that need)? That would only complicate a DR scenario where things are already complicated enough!

  • Media Manager Flexview Sync - Upload Failure - Mac Lion

    I am having difficulty with Media Manager on a Mac with Lion.
    Syncing to the Flex View Library either stops as soon as it starts, or stops part way through the upload. This happens even if I upload just one photo. When syncing starts, the progress bar moves like a turtle before the process stalls.
    I tried syncing photos from a Win7 pc and that worked fine.
    I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to resolve this (other than "don't use the mac" ).

    when i try to sync my content to flex view via media manager i'm told i must first "register".  What's that mean and where do i register?  i too am on lion.

  • Media Manager confusing me...

    Situation:  I ripped a DVD (created by a producer friend I'm trying to help with color grading).  I converted the whole show to a single clip ProRes 422 30p 1280x720.  (The original was 60i)
    What I wanted to do was pick a scene or two, make cuts between the separate shots, do a bit of FCP color correcting on each shot, add a filter maybe, then output that scene as H264 and upload it to Vimeo so my producer friend could see what is possible, and better still, show it to her on-line posting guy.
    Weird thing.  I make the cuts, drop in the color corrector, make the changes, then render ... when I render the cuts shift two or three frames to the right ... so, because it's all from one original clip, I have a pop between each cut, as the Color Corrector filter kicks into the last two frames of the previous shot, where it's NOT supposed to be.
    This might have something to do with ripping and converting a 60i to a 30p.  God knows.  So I tried to use Media Manager to output just the cut shots from the original master clip (on the timeline) BEFORE any filters have been added.  That way the cuts are where they are supposed to be on the shots.  I wanted to make 'separate' clips of each of the shots.  Then I won't have that weird, inexplicable, shift happening when I render.
    But when I do this, all I'm getting is a copy of the original full length film.  Media Manager isn't breaking up the separate shots (which have cuts) on the timeline and creating separate clips.  (I swear I did exactly this on two recent films several months ago and had no trouble.)
    What might I be doing wrong here?
    I want to output the separate shots (cut on the timeline, but from one piece of media) as separate ProRes clips.  Then I'll just drop the filters I've already created (on the first pass where the cuts keep shifting) into the new clips, and the job is done.
    Any help would be most appreciated...

    Hi Shane,
    Aha.  Got it.  And why it never came up before is that I was always working with standard media, and everything captured in a proper workflow.  And this was ripped from a DVD, something I never do.
    I did some poking around in the manual, but can't seem to quickly find out ...
    Is there a way I can assign a REEL number to the clips after-the-fact, as they sit on the timeline?  So I can assign a reel number, (a different number for each clip?) and then immediately send the clips through media manager?
    I made it 720p on a whim.  I've grown to hate DV.  And actually, I did a test before starting, and curiously enough got a better result with the 720p.

  • Media Manager: What features do work?  What doesn't?

    Hi,
    For those people for whom the media manager works, what works? What doesn't? What version of FCP and MacOS are you using?
    I've just spent the last several hours trying to reconnect clips by hand after FCP 5.0.4 crashed while using the Media Manager to consolidate Media Files into one folder (from the manual volume 4 pg 104-105) for archiving. I am beginning to despair. Luckily I've done this after writing out what should be the final version of my project to DVD, so if I can't succeed, as long as I don't need to edit anything I should be ok.
    I can tell you what's not working for me: the workflow of capture-now an entire miniDV tape to disk. I've tried many different approaches, and everything seems broken. I am using Mac OS X 10.3.9 and FCP 5.0.4.
    Specifically the aspects of Media Manager which are broken for me:
    1) (page 103) Removing Portions of Media Files after creating subclips. "A common logging and capturing workflow involves capturing each tape to a single media file, breaking the master clip into subclips, and then using the Media Manager to create individual media files for each subclip."
    That is just plain broken. Even when I delete the master file as recommended, it does not break up the media file into individual files for the subclips. I've seen that problem referenced here before. Creating subclips from the subclips and removing subclip limits gives me the entire 1 hr tape again, when all I want is the smaller portion which does not cross DV start/stop boundaries.
    Talking with a creative helper at the Palo Alto Apple store I learned that if you don't delete any media between clips, it doesn't make a file break. I have not tested that, instead I used the alternate workflow he proposed of selecting my subclips (created from the markers made with DV start/stop detect) ctrl-click -> batch export, item settings: make movie self contained. Unfortunately, I discovered the hard way that that workflow introduces errors in the time code, making recapturing the project to reconstruct it impossible.
    2) Consolidating Media Files into one folder (pg 104-105) - This is also broken and caused FCP to quit unexpectedly. Both the source and destination disk had enough disk space to hold two or more copies of the entire project. What's worse, although I've been able to reconnect most of the clips created using the batch export process menioned above, some of them complain that they need the complete 1-hr clip to play properly. Those clips were deleted weeks ago, and I was able to edit and work on the project successfully without them. Why are they needed now? The small clips do appear on disk, I can see them but they won't play without the long file.
    Nothing I've tried with the media manager has worked. Has anything worked for you? I'm especially interested if you use the "capture now" feature to capture 1-hr tapes and log later.
    Thanks,

    I use MM all the time, but only for certain things. I can share some observations:
    If you are using MM to "Create Offline - Remove Unused", the original media all needs to be present in order for the unused media to be removed from the offline clips MM creates. This is they way I use MM all the time - capturing long clips at RT or DV quality, and then removing unused media with MM, recapturing at high quality.
    I might try to use MM to copy media used in a certain sequence, but I would never try to move the media in a way that would automatically remove or alter any of my already captured media. If FCP crashed in the middle of the operation (perhaps it hits a file with incorrect permissions) your media will be half-moved, and some of the media might get corrupted. I have reassembled a few projects like this for friends and it was not easy.
    Speed adjusted clips - I still see TC issues every now and then when using MM on speed-adjusted clips - here is my workaround: I go through my edited sequence and pick out as many of the speed-adjusted clips as I can find, copying and pasting them into a new sequence, where I remove the speed adjustments. I include this new sequence in my selection when I initiate MM, this creates new master clips for the speed-adjusted material that are guaranteed to come up with the correct in and out points. If during my re-assembly I find that and of these clips have a problem, I know there will be enough media in the master clip to replace the speed-adjusted media without having to log and capture a new clip.
    One major bug in MM I have found with FCP5 is that when using MM to convert a DV sequence to an Uncompressed offline sequence, any graphics or animation movie files (animation codec) can no longer be rendered at full quality without replacing them one by one. My last project had 70 of these files in a 1-hour program.

  • Feature Request // Book Module: Export as indd file and management

    Book Module: Export as indd file and management
    I would like to request a feature to export a book module as indd file. 
    I like PDF's but .indd is nice also so we are able to to more in depth layouts.
    Having Lightoom being able to manage all your pictures and book layouts would be nice, alot of things can be done in one application.
    Another Feature:  Using Lightoom as book layout management.
    Being able to send a page(s) of the book from lightroom into InDesign to do indepth layout and editing, then being able to send it back into lightroom
    Almost similar to how you can send a photo from LR in Photoshop to do indepth editing and then send it back into lightroom.
    This could and will ease the workflow of book management and layout design.  So lightroom will not only be able to manage photos, but also indesign and book layouts.
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4238530#4238530

    Why do repeat it here, as you have already filed a feature request for it?
    BTW AFAIK this is already implemented: you can use Adobe Illustrator or InDesign or Opensource Scribus to edit layouts.
    They are just not ready to publish how - another sign of the quality processes at Adobe.
    But you do not send from the book module.
    You create upfront layout templates, which you can import for use inside LR book module.
    This is a one-way street.
    The book module designers did not acknowledge a use case where you might want to fiddle the exact placement of really chosen images.
    It is always you first design a template, then use it.
    Love it or leave it - *change it* is not an option that Adobe seems to give to their beta testers.

  • Feature Request:  AE Collect Option in PPro Project Manager

    While PPro Project Manager collects linked AEP projects, it falls short of collecting assets embedded with the AEP project itself.  This results in the user having to re-open the AEP project, locate and copy the original embedded media to new location and relink.
    Another option is to open the original AEP Project, perform a collectioning within AEP, then having to manually import and replace the media on the timeline in the newly collected PPro.  Tedious considering the complexity of AEPs that can run several layers deep with many assets.
    Is this feature possible to add in the next round of updates?

  • Feature Request: Support for External Synths/Modules (via MIDI)

    Hi,
    I just posted a feature request (via the Apple Feature Request form) but also wanted to post here. I use a combination of hardware instruments (sound modules) and software instruments.
    *My Setup*
    - Keyboard #1: M-Audio Axiom 25 (also includes a USB MIDI interface)
    - Keyboard #2: Roland A-33 Controller Keyboard (via my Axiom-25's MIDI In)
    - Edirol USB MIDI Interface (sound modules plugged into MIDI Outs)
    - Sound Module #1: Roland JV-1080
    - Sound Module #2: Yamaha TX802
    MainStage currently takes care of all my software instrument needs, however, what is missing is the ability to add external physical MIDI devices as either patches or as channel strips. I would like to use a combination of software and hardware instruments in the same song, and control this via Mainstage.
    Example:
    - Patch 1 could potentially contain 2 software instruments, each seperately controlled by a physical keyboard (this is currently possible)
    - Patch 2 could contain 1 software instrument and 1 external sound module each controlled by a physical keyboard (this is currently impossible)
    - Patch 3 could contain 2 external sound modules, mapped to different ports and/or channels, and therefore independantly controlled by my 2 keyboads (this is also currently impossible)
    Would I be correct in assuming that this is a fairly common limitation of MainStage?
    Message was edited by: olafwagner

    I have achieved MIDI out from Mainstage, thank to the information found on this forum..
    what I actually do is send Prg Change from every preset I select to control a hardware vocal harmony pedal. this way i don't have to remember which setting i use on every song or even, section of a song.
    *Step 1:*
    Library>application support>Logic> create a folder named precisely MAINSTAGE CALLBACKS
    inside of it, create an applescript with this code
    on action(parameter)
    set myprogramchange to programchangenumber of parameter
    tell application "MidiPipe"
    MIDISend toPort "MidiPipe AppleScript Input" withData {192, myprogramchange}
    end tell
    end action
    *step 2*
    download MIDIPIPE from http://homepage.mac.com/nicowald/SubtleSoft/
    and install it in your apps folder
    *step 3*
    start midipipe, and define the following modules
    MIDI IN-> use applescript input from menu
    MIDI OUT-> route to your midi interface desired output
    save this to a Midipipe file you can easily access
    Now, when I go to a gig I FIRST (this is important) load midipipe and my preset, and just hide it and let it work in the background
    Start mainstage, and set the program change of every PATCH to what I want to be sent over MIDI OUT when I enter the preset (-1 if needed or modify the previous applescript).
    Ok, this just gives you Prg change... if you want something like CC or others, you can look at some of the example files on midipipe, and write your own applescripts to be used from a control within mainstage (you know, select a screen control, and assign it to an applescript located in library>application suport>logic>Mainstage scripts. you have to tell the applescript to receive incoming data from mainstage and send it (with even some filtering or transforming) to midipipe to go to the outside world.
    One last idea: i used a free plug-in called MIDIIO that, although the plugin analysis on mainstage might say does not pass, you can use it anyway, and lets you insert it as if it was a plugin instrument...then you just route your screen controller to a MIDI parameter on that track, and there you go...but in the past it was not as solid as the midipipe solution.
    I am still investigating...I am pursuing having my hardware controller knobs to follow screen settings everytime I just change a patch, but lack some info on how to get parameter values when entering the patch ¿anyone knows, blueberry, zuelito...? I promise to share the results!

  • Feature Request (again); Adobe Bridge Cache Manager

    In Adobe Bridge, the Cache is still a problem and a huge memory hog. I asked for a good Cache Manager over 3 years ago when it was needed CS4.
    Now in CS6, I am disappointed that the cache system in Bridge has not changed. Why do you have a section in the Adobe Forums that asks for 'Feature Request' and then ignore them?
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2652688#2652688
    "I would personally like a tool within Bridge that allows me to manage and control the Cache in a more personal and effective way. I would like a toggle that would keep '100% previews' in one folder for a selected period of time (1 day to 1 month) before the folder's cache is automatically purged. And another toggle that would give me the option to keep a selected folder's cache permanently intact (such as an Important Portfolio Folder or an Edited Images Folder).
    As a photographer, I take and edit a lot of photos. When I import a photoshoot with 1,500 photos (not uncommom at all) I enjoy having the Bridge Previews at 100%, but for only a limited time. Unfortunately, I forget to purge the individual cache of that folder and the cache builds to a point that makes Adobe Bridge CS4 very slow. I then have to Purge the whole Bridge Cache in order to make Bridge run smooth again.

    A Cache Manager tool that lets me either schedule a cache cleaning on a folder, or keep it permanent, would be a huge help. And I don't think that it is unreasonable for me to ask this of Adobe.
    If you submit a feedback poll where Yammer pointed you, and it gets a couple of hundred (thousand?) users agree you might get Adobe's attention.
    I agree with Yammer that Bridge is a low priority project with Adobe.  Think their target audience is the casual user with a few hundred photos added each year.   Your use pattern is more specialized and you either have to adapt with scripts or move to another product IMO.
    The size of cache takes a lot of people by surprise.  It can grow humongous if you use HQ thumbs and save 100% previews.  One can dump the cache in preferences, but many are reluctant to to this as they think it will delete all their keywords and edits.  In addition, to do a search you have to re-index all your files, which can take a long time.
    If you have "export cache to folders" checked, dumping the cache in preferences only dumps the central cache.  To dump the folder cache you have to visit each folder and click on Tools/cache/purge cache for xxx folder.  Again, most people do not recognize this.  This technique purges both the central and folder cache for this folder only.
    It the 100% previews are the problem for you it would seem like a simple task for the script people to write one that would delete it after xx days as the 100% previews are held in a specific folder.
    Bridge is not a good digital asset manager.  You are probably in that arena dealing with several hundred thousand images.  Omke uses a DAM as it does some functions better than Bridge, but Bridge is still his main program.  Can't remember the name, but if you read these posts you might have seen it.

  • Feature request: Monitor, manage IE - CPU usage

    I was wondering if this is the right place to make a feature request. As it happens when surfing with IE, having many tabs open, pretty quickly CPU usage can reach 100% even on multi core system. Presumably some website manage to run out-of-control scripts
    in the background.
    The real problem is now that I cannot tell which tabs produces which CPU load. All that task manager shows is the IE process with the tabs and the overall CPU usage for the process.
    Regarding monitoring it would help to identify the tabs (website) which cause the heavy load. This could be added to task manager.
    Further, to manage the tabs it should be possible to either start each tab in its own process
    or perhaps better, have the ability to put unused tabs in 'hibernation' causing all scripts to pause there.

    Task Manager in current windows versions lists all IE Tab processes.... Sort the process list by cpu usage to identify hungry tabs.
    Typically high cpu usage is caused by
    Web browser addons, incorrect browser settings (use gpu instead of hardware rendering) and flash or poorly designed websites or missing updates to your windows or third-party software. You may like to try running your browser in noAddons mode to see if that
    makes a difference in cpu usage.... and also ensuring that you have enabled Windows Updates and that your computer has the latest updates from MS, Adobe etc.
    MS has no control over what addons a user has or installs on their machines.
    Post consumer questions about IE or windows to
    http://answers.microsoft.com (Help>Online Support menu). Include with your questions the full links to any websites that you are having issues with....
    Always... the first step in troubleshooting web browser issues is to test in no addons mode.

    Hi,
    Why isn't there an option to make a feature request for 'Adobe Media Encoder' on the Adobe Feature Request page??? (Adobe Media Encoder isn't on the list of software)

    Adobe Media Encoder now has its own entry in the feature-request and bug-report form:
