Finding all assets in a movie

Is there any way to see where all instances, movie clips,
buttons, etc. are used in a movie? Sometimes I see a reference in
AS and I think it would be easy to just have some sort of directory
so when I see an asset linked, I can easily find where it is within
my movie. For example, the instance of "sample" is used in layer 1,
frame 6, of the mc_clip movie clip. Does that make sense? The
reason is I am working with a lot of sites that were built by
someone else and whose naming convention doesn't make sense to me.
Just a thought if it's possible. Thanks.

Use the Movie Explorer panel (Windows>Movie Explorer or
Alt+F3)

Find all music files and move to one folder for all of family to access, find all music files and move to one folder for all of family to access

I seem to have music files in various places on my laptop, on my husbands computer and our main imac. What we want to do is put all music on imac so when each of us logs on we have the same files availabe in itunes, but we logon seperately so we can have different playlists and checked music. So here is what I want to do:
Find all music files on each computer seperately and put everything in one folder one each computer, so three folders total to start...
Move my husbands itunes library and my itunes library from each of our laptops to our main imac, making one huge itunes folder
I want to store our music on an external hard drive, which I have, so I have a full library for backup purposes.
I want all future music downloaded on any of our laptops to transfer to the main imac computer, again to keep one main library
I want all video, apps, books, etc on each laptop to be available in one file on my main imac also so we can all use them
So mainly I want to organize, organize, organize and put everything in one spot so things don't get all messed up and some items are only accessible to me some times and not my husband or vice versa. We want to share everything we can so we don't have to pay twice. I have read many instuctions, but nothing seems to be helping me and was hoping someone could...
Thanks, l

I am totally running into the same issue as well. On top of that, when syncing to my iPhone, it took some of the tracks from my iphone and recopied them to the iTunes library, as new files, so now I have a ton of duplicates, and tons of tracks that can't find the iTunes folder, so they have the little "!" next to them.
It would be really nice to have someone answer this question. I didn't think, moving my iTunes library to a bigger external hard drive would have caused all this madness

Using iPad air, iPod, iCLoud and WinPro 7 - I am not finding all my tunes and movies among all these devices.

When I orignally installed iTunes current update, and tried to move about the devices iTunes would crash. I uninstalled it, then reinstalled it. It seems to be stable, however as before I am not finding all of my TUnes and Movies on all my devices.
Any one?
Thanks-

Hey thomnj,
From what I understand, it sounds like after uninstalling and reinstalling your iTunes as a troubleshooting step, you're now missing some of your media? I would troubleshoot the issue with the steps in here:

Does font search find all texts in my movie?

Hi,
when opening my flash movie I get the message that some fonts
are
missing. When I try to search for the missing fonts in my
movie the
related texts are not found.
I remember that the search feature doesn't always work 100%
correct i.e.
searching for strings or regular expressions (the last one
crashes flash
completely). My question: is the font search reliable?
TIA

I would use the Movie Explorer or Find and Replace panel for
this - not the "missing font" warning
when opening a doc.

Finder - All Movies - same movies, different extensions, can I delete ?

Hi,
Cleaning my HD I go to Finder - All Movies and see the same file in different names and sizes. Like .MOV - .MP4 - IMG_
Same movie can have different sizes / volumes. From 8.5MB up to 55 MB for the same.
I can find them back in Imovie, Iphoto.
Is it useful to delete to create some space on my HD and which one should I delete. Most of them uploaded via an Iphone 4.
Thanks
Speedyf

It all depends how you want to use the files in future, if they are going back to a phone or an AppleTV then keep the .m4v format, if you're going to edit them with iMovie or similar keep the .mov format.
The larger the file the better the quality and resolution most likely so if in doubt keep the 'best' copy and discard the rest (you can always convert them to other formats at a later date if needed)
How did you get multiple formats of the same thing in the first place ?

Is there a query or program to find all the unreferenced images or assets?

I am looking for a query or a simple program to find all the unreferneced images or assets within DAM. This will help us clean out the images that are no longer required.

Have you looked in home videos

Finding all .mov files

hello, I have been trying to wrangle all my .mov files and was wondering if anybody knows a good way to do this.
I am looking to consolidate the movies I shot and were downloaded using iphoto. The folder structure for iphoto is deep and I do not have the time to open every folder to capture the file and put it in a common movies folder. Also, I have a lot of .mov files that I have downloaded from our server at work or from emails that I would like to archive and pull off my limited solid state hard drive. I was able to find and move files using spotlight but it is hard to know if I have everything and have not been able to use spotlight to delete the files that I have transfered to another disk so a therfore not saving disk space.
Any thoughts or tools would be most appreciated.

Well, first, you should not delete any files that you find are part of the iPhoto structure. iPhoto uses a database linked to the media files, and if you move or remove files that are within its library, you will corrupt the database and risk the library being unuseable.
I would do it in two sets of searches - I would first search the Finder. It's better to search for all files of type "movie" than to restrict it to the ".mov" extension. Type "movie" in any Finder search box, and the dropdown should offer "Kind - Movie". Click that. Make sure that "Search" (the location along the top of the window) reads "This Mac" (you'll get a better results list than if you restrict it to "All my files").
Do the second search within iPhoto itself (not in the Finder). Open iPhoto, and create a new smart album. For the criteria, set "type" to "movie". You can then drag (to copy) these movies out of iphoto and into your preferred Finder location. If you prefer, you can then delete them from iPhoto (select all and cmd-delete).

When you are pulling music from a hard drive and it says music can not be found, is there a way to stop it from doing that every time I play music from my computer? It used to find all music now it only finds 1 song at a time

When pulling music from a harddrive and it say music can not be found, is there a way to stop this from happening every time I play music on my computer? It used to find all music when serching for song but now it only finds 1 at a time. I have over 2000 songs so I can't go through this every time.

1) However I do not want to move my itunes Music onto the flash drive, only my Movies, and want to keep my music on my hard drive.
Is this possible?
Yes
2) Do the MacBook Air's not have a separate program other than itunes that can play movies? If so, is there a program I can get to solve this problem? I went onto the App Store to see if there was something I could download, but all the apps were for creating DVD's, not simply playing them.
If you can play the movies in iTunes, you should be able to open the movie files using Quicktime, which should already be on your system. If you have already transferred the files to your flash drive, open the flash drive in Finder, and hold control when you click on the movie file (or right click if you have the enabled) and select Open With Quicktime Player. This should play the movie directly from the flash drive.
If you want to set all .m4v files to open with Quicktime by just double clicking on the file, you can follow the steps here: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2573/os_x_how_to_change_default_application_to_op en_file_type/
3) If 1. & 2. questions are solvable, will it then be safe to delete the movies from my itunes?
You can move the TV shows to your flash drive by dragging them from the iTunes window to your flash drive in Finder or the flash drive icon on the desktop. When you are sure everything is transferred over to your external device, you can delete the movie from iTunes. I recommend playing the videos from the flash drive first before deleting them in iTunes.
To delete the videos from iTunes, you can highlight them and press the delete key on your keyboard. In the next prompt, you would want to move it to the trash so that it is deleted from your internal hard drive.
I hope that helps!

IMac Computer using 10.7.5, running iTunes 11.1.5, and using an iPad 2 with os 7.1 . I have over 300 movies in my library and when I share using video on the iPad, the titles covers are all on the wrong movies. How do I fix this?

Hi Michael,
I'm glad iTunes is working now! If you want to locate iTunes plug-ins on your computer, you can find them in the following locations (you may not have the iTunes Plug-ins folder if you do not have plug-ins):
Mac:
/Users/username/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
One thing I also wanted to mention is that the "Users/username/Library" is hidden in Lion and Mountain Lion. You can access it using these steps:
OS X Mountain Lion: What is the Library folder?
The Library folder contains files used by OS X and your apps, including your personal fonts and preferences. The Library folder is hidden. If you need to open it, make sure you are in the Finder, hold down the Option key, and then choose Go > Library.
You can find the full article here:

How do I find all photos that can be '"reverted to original"? Help please!

Hi. I hope that someone can help me with this!
I am trying to go through my iPhoto Library of about 1000 photos and find all of the photos that have the option to be "reverted to original", ie. I have made changes to them. I realise that I could go through them one by one, but I am trying to avoid that!
I have realised recently that I should duplicate a photo before changing it, so that I leave the original untouched. However this doesn't help me with all of the old ones that I DIDN'T duplicate.
Is there an Applescript or a method of finding all of the old photos that I am looking for?
Thanks so much in advance for any help,
Fleur

I don't think it can be done from within iPhoto but there's a way you can do it from outside. First download and launch QPict. Then do the following;
1 - open your iPhoto Library folder and type Command-F.
2 - in the search window create these two search criteria:
a - Kind is Folder
b - Name contains Original
3 - In the search results window click on the size column to separate the empty folders from those with files in them.
4 - select all of the folder that are not empty and drag into the open window of QPict.
That will open the original files in QPict so you can view them there and compare to those in iPhoto. Just remember do not move any of those folders out of the iPhoto Library folder. Just move them into the open window of QPict.

Need to find the assets associated to a BCC project using SQL query

Hi,
Given a BCC project (project_id), I need to find the assets (type of asset, version, status etc) in that project using SQL queries.
I need this for reporting purpose and cannot do this programatically using any code.
Surprisingly ATG does not store this association in a direct way. Can someone provide me the query if you have already done this before?
I tried enabling loggingDebug in PublishingRepository and VersionManagerRepository to get the queries, but I did not get what I want.
Thanks in advance,
Gopinath Ramasamy

UPDATE:
When a project is selected in BCC, ATG is doing something crazy, as it appears to me, of querying all the tables (ofcourse when there is a cache miss) in all the versioned item descriptor with the workspace id of the project to display the assets contained in it.
I do not see an easy or direct way of coming up with a query for this requirement.
Please let me know if anyone has any other idea.
Thanks,
Gopinath Ramasamy

I have a 2009 MB Pro. I have been trying to do some cleaning of files and discovered that in Finder, All Images, I am experiencing a frustrating problem. I spent a few hours trashing over 4K images and within a few hours, I had as many more. I did a couple of thousand trashed images and half hour later, more arrived. There are a lot of images that seem off the internet, including gif.s, png.s. Help!

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Copy all assets in a production out to a device

I have been trying to set-up an approve process where once an editor sets production status to approved - all assets within the production should copy out to a device which is a dropfolder for signiant. But I get an error stating "Security Restrictions" is there any way of copying out all assets within a production in FCSvr?

This works as a simple case:
mount volume "afp://APEx.local"
set sf to POSIX file "/Volumes/Net Drive/Test"
set df to POSIX file "/Users/frank/Desktop/tmp"
tell application "Finder"
duplicate every item of folder sf to folder df
end tell
Notr that the destination folder must exisit already
