H.264 Container / Edit

Hi All -
I realise this question's been asked many times before, but it appears from all my searching most of these questions were posted some time in the past - so an update may have occured to the package since then, or a new workflow invented which makes what I'm trying to do possible.
How does one NATIVELY import and edit H.264's without needing to transcode via Compressor first?
I have quite literally hundreds of files in HD H264 that I want to use as source, and I really don't want to have to transcode the lot of them.
I realise FC isn't happy working natively with H264's, but since this appears to be an issue that crops up so often I was hoping somebody out there had found a workaround either via process or via a plugin.
It's the one thing that Premiere does so well, but I'm not ready to stop using FC because of that one (annoying) thing.
Thanks all.

Looking back over the development of and the popularity of H.264 and comparing that against the history of NLE product releases, I see that FCP is way behind the curve. Who knows why? The current version of Adobe's suite benefits from many years of FCP's history of failing to meet the needs of a certain niche of users. Perhaps the decision to put all development energy into FCPX at the expense of adding advanced codec handling functions to FCP7? It's a bummer for lots of us that FCP7 came up so short and has now been effectively killed.
Only time will tell if people like you and me will switch to acquire functions we need now or adopt the new paradigm and see if things evolve.

Can't import an .AI containing editable text

I am using Flash CS3 (v.9.0.2) on MacOSX (v. 10.4.11). When I
try to import an .AI that contains editable text (not outlined
text), the import dialog box doesn't come up and I have no artwork
on the stage or in the library. I do not get any kind of an error
message, either. There is a brief flash on-screen (like a glitch)
and it returns me to the stage without my artwork.
I've isolated the editable text to be the issue, as I can
easily import the same AI file, minus the text. Also, changing the
font doesn't seem to make a difference.
Has anyone experienced this before? Any insight would be
greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Heidi

got a feeling your headings are wrong ... change "Tape" to "Reel" and drop "Duration"
I would go with:
Name Reel Media Start Media End
cheers

How to export all images that don't contain editable text

Hi guys,
Is there any hack, script or general function to export all images from a PDF withouth them containing editable text?
For instance, i have a pdf that contains some scanned documents - these need exporting, i also have some tables in there that have editable text in them - these are being exported when i select export all images.
Can anyone help?
Cheers!

Search for a word or words in them as a group. Search for .pdf file type and containing....
Use a common word that they all might contain such as "a" or "the", etc.
The files that have been OCR'd will show up in the search. This won't catch 100% of them, but it will allow you to separate most of them.

Converting H.264 for Editing in Premiere Elements 9

Hi!
What is the best way to convert my MOV H.264 files off my Canon T2i for editing in premiere. I've heard several people say that H.264 is NOT an editing codec, and it seems to be true. I am editing a shoot with the files directly off the camera and IT IS SLOW! When you go to export in Premiere it says that AVI files are what you should use for editing in Premiere, but my problem is that I don't know which is the best codec and quality to use. I want Full HD but I'm not sure how to transcode without losing quality. Any suggestions? Please help! Thanks.

Unfortunately, video from the Rebel series isn't supported natively in Premiere Elements 9. (Though it's worth a try. Have you tried one of the DSLR presets that matches your video's resolution?)
The BEST solution is to convert the video to a 1440x1080 MPEG/M2T using Quicktime Pro ($29 from Apple). 1440x1080, as you probably know, is the anamorphic version of 1920x1080, so it is the same resolution.
A 1440x1080 MPEG/M2T video should work perfectly with Premiere Elements' HDV project preset.
Remember: The test to see if you're using the ideal preset is that, when you add the video to your timeline, it will appear without a red line above it.
If you are seeing no red lines above your video but your video editing is still slow, it is most likely an indicator that your computer is not powerful enough to edit hi-def video or that it is not properly tuned.
If you're interested, there are much more detailed explanations for all of this in my books, available on Amazon and at Muvipix.com.

How do I import xmp files that contain edits from another computer?

I edited some images on my laptop and the Metadata Catalog settings show changes are written into the .xmp files. I copied both the CR2 and corresponding .xmp files to my Desktop computer. When I imported the images into LR 5.5, the edits did not show up.
How do I get the corresponding .xmp files to update the CR2 files? Or do I have to start over and import the LR Catalog from my Laptop for just this series of images?
If I send off my CR2 files for someone to edit and they send me back the .xmp files containing the edits, shouldn't I be able to update my original CR2 files???
Thanks, Marc

Also for the info to be read 100% both computers need to be using the same version of LR. (e.g. Lr 4.x will not apply all the info from LR 5.x)

Transcoding h.264 to edit in FCE

Hello
I have movie files shot on a canon5D. I understand the 5D codec is h.264.
Can someone please tell me the compression setting I should choose to edit in FCE.
As it is now I can't make any changes such as adding titles etc without having to render everytime. impossible to work.
Thanks for any help I'm learning as I go, so I'm grateful for advice.

DSLR 5dMkII H.264 30p editable format, anything smaller than ProRes, AIC?

First off - thanks to everyone for the wealth of info already posted on this topic! I went from 0-60 in a couple of hours about my workflow options.
So, I'm a newbie with limited resources. This is my first short-film (first film project). See my computer's specs below. I now know that the 5dMkII gives me 1920x1080, 30p (not 29.97 - thought those were the same for a while with the H.264 codec. OK, not even viewable on my machine in QT and painful in FCP.
So I've learned that FCP doesn't like H.264 as an editing format. Now I converted some clips to ProRes. The shorter clips (>30 seconds) look great and flow fine but, the longer clips (3:30) are so big (5GB) that they are chugging and giving me an 8 bit techno song for audio (which I'm thinking about sampling for a future dance project) Viewing them off a USB 2.0 drive isn't working.
Can anyone suggest an alternative HD editable format to ProRes422 or AIC that can maybe bring down the file size?

Sorry, not if you want to work in an editable HD format. DVCPRO HD maybe, but that doesn't save a lot of space over ProRes. ProRes IS the space saving editing codec.

How to hide "View in Browser" and "Edit in Browser" from ECB injected by Office Web Apps Feature

Hi,
i am currently using custom_AddDocLibMenuItems to implement a custom ECB menu for my document library. I need to activate Office Web Apps. My custom_AddDocLibMenuItems has two items
-> custom dialog
-> open in office web apps
After activating the Office Web Apps Feature at the SiteCollection Level, this Feature "injects" in my custom menu the following
additional menu items:
-> View in Browser
-> Edit in Browser
Its curious to see that, cause implementing the js function custom_AddDocLibMenuItems with
return true should be the way to impolement a custom ECB menu without having other features/solutions injecting things in this menu!? Or did i misunderstood something here?
My question is: How can i prevent this ...
a) without deactivating the Office Web Apps Feature
b) without modifying the core.js
I hope someone can help!
Best Regards
Bog

Using iPhoto but editing in Photoshop Elements 4.0

I am using iPhoto to organize my photos and PS4 to edit. Can someone please explain to me what happens to the original and new picture after I edit the picture in PE4. Also can someone explain the Adobe Bridge?

If there are Modified pics there will be a Modified folder. Where are you looking? Are you using v6 of iPhoto?
A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
(ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
(iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.

Adding text to editable region creates space in the rest of my layout

I created my layout in PS, sliced the images and then imported to DW (html and images).
Layout looks great.
I created editable regions in the template I created from the .html
One I start inserting text into these regions, my container moves and it throws the rest of the layout off by adding space between the editable region and the area above it (a big black line horizontally through the page).
Is there a way to keep the container/editable region from moving or growing with the text so that it doesn't change my layout?
On a side note, this change doesn't appear in live view. When I preview in browser, Safari layout looks great, but text doesn't appear. In firefox, text appears, but layout is a mess.
Here is the code from the editable region to which I am trying to add text:

        <div id="site_layout_contentmain">Content for id "site_layout_contentmain" Goes Here</div>
      </td>
ANY help is GREATLY appreciated!!!!!

Yes, the design is appearing to pull apart when I add content, but only in the Firefox preview.
If it pulls apart in Firefox, chances are it pulls apart in all browsers when text size is increased.
The problem with Photoshop code is that it is a) rigid, b) unstable and c) invalid.
To illustrate, run your code through the on-line validation tools below.
CSS - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
HTML - http://validator.w3.org/
Photoshop is OK for designing quick comps to show the client but they won't hold up on a real site.
IMO, the benefits of starting over far outweigh the inconvenience.

Copy and paste ignores track text edit preview settings?

Hi all,
Working with FM9 and another editor that requires me to copy and paste from FM9 into the other.
Enable and use tracking text edits in FM9.
Preview Final to hide the edits.
Copy and paste a paragraph that contains edits.
When I paste into the target text editor, the "deleted" text is also displayed.
Any way to prevent text hidden with a condition tag (which is how the tracking changes are marked) from being copied?
-g

I'm pretty sure the answer is no, not in FM itself. The only way would be to create a finalized FM doc with the changes accepted prior to copy / paste.
It would be possible with a Framescript, though -- something like this: the user copies the text, hits a specified function key, the script pastes the text onto a special reference page, deletes the "deleted" text, recopies the text and then it beeps so that the user can then paste into the target editor.
More info about Framescript at http://www.framescript.com and on the user group at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/framescript-users/

Editing photos without changing the originals

I'm brand new to any Apple applications and thus far I have not been able to figure out how to keep my originals after doing any editing ie. croping or color enhancing. Can anyone tell me how to copy or save a seperate photo file? I have attempted it but the original forlder changes as well.

Can anyone tell me how to copy or save a seperate photo file?
Are you using iPhoto? The good news is you don't have to do anything, the application does this for you.
No matter what you do, iPhoto always works on a copy. So if you crop, or enhance, edit in any way, export, your original is untouched and a copy is made with your changes. Look at your menu bar. Check out the Photos Menu, at the bottom of the list is 'Revert To Original'. You can use this if you dislike whatever you've done with the photo, or just want to start again.
In the iPhoto Library Folder you will see various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
(ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command.
(iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
However: It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss
Anything you wish to do can - and should - be done within the iPhoto Window. If you want any help doing things, by all means post again.

How To Update Custom ItemRenderer (Image) on DataGrid Edit

I have an DataGrid with 2 columns, column 1 called "Name" and column 2 called "Actions".
The "Name" column contains editable text and the "Actions" column uses a (inline) custom ItemRenderer which displays 2 icon images ( for Edit and Delete). All works fine. Clicking Edit or Delete calls the corrosponding outerDocument method.
The feature I am trying to add is as follows: when someone double-clicks on the text in the Name column to edit it, I would like the edit icon in the Actions column to ( grow/shrink, change color - or some such indication/reminder to click it ). Not seeing how to do this with the inline ItemRenderer, I created a custom item renderer class and, in that class, use mx:Resize to perform the "grow/shrink". I created a method called "pulse()" and, from within that renderer, all works well. ( for testing, I wired the icons click event to the pulse() method ). However, now I am not sure how to call that ItemRenderers "pulse()" method to perform the effect from the main DataGrid (when the user double-clicks on Name field to edit).
The tried using the DataGrid's "itemEditBegin", which fires correctly, but from that point I am not sure how to access the selected rows edit icon in the "Action" column. ( to call its pulse() ) method.
So any suggestions how I can achieve my end result? Being able to manipulate the edit icon in the "Actions" column, when the user double-clicks (edits) that row's "Name" column?
If I'm going about it all wrong, feel free to offer alternative solutions.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Bursting PDF with editable fields

I have been successful in generating PDF output from a PDF template that contains editable fields. When I open the PDF using Adobe Professional, everthing functions as normal. However, when I burst the PDFs the final output PDFs are no longer editable. They contain the correct data, but everything is locked down. Has anyone attempted this with success? If so, can you point me to some possible pitfalls? I'd hate to have to run a single request for each output.
Thanks,
Jamie

Very easy to create. I have not been able to get them to burst with editable fields. Please note that it is not editable with Adobe Reader, unless it is first extended with Adobe Professional or Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions. Depending on your config settings you may have to make some changes to allow the fields to remain editable.
