Help needed re import problem

Hi,
I've mistakenly imported a batch of files from my Nikon as NEFs, rather than DNGs. Unfortunately I captioned and keyworded them before realising my mistake. To avoid re-captioning and keywording I'd prefer to change them to DNGs rather than delete all and re-import.
I've tried going to the import dialogue to copy them as DNGs, but it won't allow me to do it. Any suggestions gratefully recieved.
Regards,
Paul Thompson.

Just select them and click Library-> Convert to DNG in the menus.

Help Needed in resolving problems with Hyperion Planning Web Forms

Hi,Can anyone help me with this problem?Problem:We are running Planning 2.3.1 I have created Webform & security(application owner has the ownership).Somehow Iam getting only 7 dimensions into webform & 1 dimension is missing in that. But whereas 8 dimensions are there in Essbase.Hsp_Rates dimension is available in essbase outline but Iam unable to see that dimension in the webform selection.And using the webform Iam unable to load any data ...the form is graded/protected.Is this happening because i dont have the requirement of 1 member from each Dimension?Please someone let me know why this is happening what might be the reason.ThanksUser

Hi,The dimension Hsp_Rates is a hide dimension used by Planning to store the exchange rates for the differentes exchanges.All the standard information is stored on HSP_InputValue member (in this dimension).When you create a web form, Planning automatically asign this member (but don't show it).Probably you can't load data because you are selected on Version dimension a Standard Botton Up version, and you only can load data on level 0 members in this type of version.If you want to load data on upper level members, then you need to create a Standard Target version (in the Version dimension) and select it in the form.Please, advice if this solve your problemClaudioBPD Solutions

Try this.
Put your optical drives like CD-ROM drive to IDE 1 and set as Primary Master aka Master mode and put your HDD to IDE 2 and set as Secondary Master aka Master mode also.
Btw, what is your PSU specs?

Please help: Need an import 'action'

Hi,
I'm trying to make life 'easy' in our household for getting pictures into Aperture 3, but I'm at a complete loss as to how to achieve this - it seems Apple offer great flexibility on export, but little on import.
What I want to do, is when importing from a CF card (in Canon format), put the images in:
Project (Year)
Folder (Month)
Album (Day)
I have previously exported to this folder structure, and the 'Projects and Folders' import then created the above - however, there's no way to automatically import into this structure from the CF reader.
Is there a way to do this with an Applescript 'action' on import ? I don't mind getting my hands dirty with tweaking some code, but I've never really used Applescript at all.
Because my wife needs to be able to use this, I don't want to have to manuall create any projects/folders/albums or worry about any other details - just have the import defaults setup such that a card is inserted, import all is chosen, and the structure is used.
I don't want to have a two-stage process unless it's very easy to reproduce. This has to be easy, otherwise I may as well just go back to iPhoto and lose all the great benefits of Aperture.
I was really looking forward to using the import presets as they solve the other main Aperture problem I had, but this is proving to be a bigger issue now.
Thanks for any help.
Michael.

Hi Calx,
I really do understand projects. I just don't need them. I'm not wanting to organise things at the moment - just get the images 'into' Aperture, and create smart folders.
I don't actually need a project for this. I could use just one project, as Aperture requires it, but then I'm stuck after 10000 images.
As mentioned in my original post, I was planning on 'sturcturing' by year/month/date as that is a valid structure for me - the problem being which part of that structure is a project (year is more than 10000 images, so it would have to be month) ad how I automatically create that on image import.
I realise everyone seems to want to organise things differently, and most people create a 'project' for an 'event' or 'location' or 'shoot' or suchlike... I don't need that. I take pictures and put them in 1 big pot, and use smart folders etc., later on.
The problem seems to be that I need to actually manage it with projects from the start - I can't just bring in images into Aperture (as the container) and use 'smart' tools to group things together - I have to have a project.
Everyone's answer is about how to structure projects based upon different criteria. I realise this is how Apple expect it to work. I just don't have the time to group things into projects at the moment.
Either way, this is all away from the original point. The main problem I have is not being able to automatically create a structure (of any kind other than a single or constrained auto-split group of projects) when importing directly from a CF card or camera.
What I want, is to be able to say:
On import, split the files by date, and put them in a project / folder / album according to year / month / date respectively. I can't do that, and it seems I have to rely on external functionality, import / export into a structure & re-import, or manually move select move images.
I know you can assign an Applescript action on the import, and I figured that perhaps this could be used to re-structure the images on the import, but by the silence on this point and the fact that everyone keeps pushing me to manually maintain my projects, suggests it just can't be done.
Michael.

Please help, need to import .swf/flash media

Hi all, have a little issue here. I have some SWF flash media and I want to bring it into imovie so I can edit it more effectivley then with qt. However, I have been haveing alot of trouble, most time I only get the audio part of it and no image. Most of the media is widescreen, I was able to export the media in qt to dv stream and then import it, however, it lost its widescreen look and was kinda squished from the sides if that makes sense, if anybody has expeirence with this type of media, please help.
Nathan

Hi Nathan,
I've never "dared" to convert .swf, but I read a lot about problems doing so... probably the Quicktime section of this forum is better to ask...
maybe a much easier workaround is using tools as SnapzPro from Ambrosia; this tool claims to "record" any screen content (and audio) and convert it directly into any wanted format (as dv)...
just a thought.......

Please help - need to import/create song snippets in iMovie

Hi - I'm making a movie in '06 HD which requires a series of short (apx. 1 minute each) song segments taken from longer songs (apx 4 minutes each). After learning how to first crop the song in iTunes, I could not figure out how to import just the cropped part (the imported song played in its entirety in iMovie, despite being cropped in iTunes). Nor does it seem I can crop the music in iMovie itself. If iMovie had 5-6 different audio tracks I could just lay them down overlapping and only "play" the parts I need. Is there some workaround that I've missed here? Is it possible to make a single "song" in iTunes that is in fact made up of segments of different songs. HELP! I'm on a tight deadline.

I wasn't aware that iTunes lets you crop songs... Here is how you can crop it in iMovie:
After you import a song into iMovie, you drag it onto one of the audio tracks, right? Don't worry about the exact location for now. Now you can select it in the timeline (be careful not to change the volume by accident), then play it. Listen only to your song, don't pay attention to the video. Once you get to the part of your song where you want it to start, hit Apple-T to split it into two pieces at that point. This will only split the song in the selected track, and leave the other tracks alone. Select the part before the cut point, and delete it (Backspace key). Repeat the process at the end point, deleting everything beyond the split point. Now you have just the part you want. Drag it on the timeline until it lines up with your video.

More help needed on m2v problems!

I have also been having problems when I try to import compressed (using Compressor) video files in SP 4. I have repaired file permissions and shortened the name of the file (as recommended in previous posts), but every time I try to import the file into SP, it closes the program and gives me an error report. When I try to open the file by itself, if opens Droplet. When I hit "submit," it freezes the program. Also, other compressed video files (that I have burned DVD's with in the recent past) don't work. They all do the same thing. It was all working fine last week (about two months after I upgraded Production Suite), and all of a sudden it's making me loose hair.
Another thing I should mention: I have very little space left (1.89 GB) on my internal hard drive. This filled up very quickly, and I'm not quite sure how. When I started my computer yesterday, I had 5.5 GB. Before that, I had even more, though I'm hazy on the details. Anyway, I would GREATLY appreciate any help that's out there! Thanks!

One thing (which may or may not help) is clearing off you hard drive, 1.89 Gigs on 80 Gigs will lead to the computer slowing down considerably, anything over 80% seems to be the number of more problems creeping up, and you should clear out as much as possible. With temp files, virtual memoory etc, it causes issues

More Imovie help pls. Importing problem

Hi gang..
First thanks for all the help... I appreciate it.. I don't want to give up on imovie just yet.
Im on a mac pro, with 5gb, for a system so it should not be slow.
I have found after testing that the only way that I can get a final product to look good is if I start my project with a
1080i hd. Any other settings show lots of shimmering (I think this is what I have from learning
When I import 100 files, All jpegs converted to fit within 1024x1024 max and maintaining appropriate size for the type of photo it comes out nice.
but... it is so slow.. about 10 seconds to add a transition
WHY?? The system should have enough horsepower.
I think more importantly is that I can get a nice output with this process after it has gone to idvd and made the dvd and I look at it on the tv. Its acceptable.. so a WIN !!!
But at this pace its taken me over 4 hours just to add tranistions
So.. I'm thinking it must be my setup somewhere. I made a guest account, but its no different.
I have tried diff resolutions of photos down to 640x640. Importing from aperture or iphoto.. (no difference)
So why do I have to make an 1080i Movie to get nice quality on the tv?
P.S I have tried multiple tv's and dvd players.. no differnece
Scratching my head over this one.
Thanks all.. I feel like that train.. I know I can.. I know I can lol

Hi g
May be I'm totally wrong but I would have been very surprised if it didn't
work exactly as You describe it.
5Gb - way to little.
Mac OS X is really depending heavely on UNIX and virtua memory managment.
To work OK You need about 10 to (more likely) 20 % of the hard disk size free.
eg. 80Gb hd = 8 - 16 Gb free to run OK
eg. 160Gb = 16 - 32 Gb
iMovie needs to this 13 Gb free per hour of miniDV capture and about 2 to 5
times more to work with.
16x9 and HD need may be 2 to 4 times more.
Video is a hard disk space demanding labour.
Adding external disks - You need to think of two things:
- Mac OS Extended formatted - NOT UNIX or DOS
- It is on Your internal drive You need at least 20 Gb free space. So you need
to free up this by moving other documents or projects out to the external one.

Help Needed to import package

Hi, I am developing a JAVA project following Graphical Editing Framework in Eclipse.
I have 3 packages ( in order of build) - ProcessModel, Process Editor and Application.
I am trying to import application package and use its class in Process Model. But I am getting compile time error " the import cheme.application can not be resolved" .
I assume this error is coming because Application package and its classes are not compiled and hence it is not allowing me to import and use them.
package cheme.ProcessModel.Interpreter;
import cheme.Application.*; // I have tried importing one class also
As suggested in some other posts, I have added the CLASSPATH variable with the folder address of Application package.
Please help me!!!
Thanks a Bunch in advance.

There is some setting in Eclipse that controls the availability of libraries, it needs to be set correctly. Refer to the Eclipse help doc.

Help - HDV tape import problem - Sony HC-3 broken - Questions/Warning

My Sony HC-3 HD camcorder has just failed. I've had it just over 3 years.
I really don't enjoy video editing much, and despite maybe shooting 20-30 tapes of HD footage of my young children, I'd only got round to importing a handful over Firewire, but was lulled into a false sense of security perhaps by treating the tapes as my film negatives (new tape each time).
The camcorder behaved a bit erratically a few weeks ago when inserting a tape, then the other day it gave an error, I ejected the tape and had a constant C32:11 error flashing. Lots of user reports on the web, no idea what the real issue is, but any suggested fixes didn't work.
Essentially I cannot close the tape transport compartment with or without a tape - it won't accept a tape and return to record/play position.
Almost feels as though something isn't clicking/catching when you push the tape in.
Anyhow, I thought if worst comes to worst I'll just buy Sony's latest model - then the realisation they'd discontinued consumer HDV tape camcorders. Not a happy bunny.
I've sent camcorder to local Sony repair center and am awaiting outcome.
Now my questions are:
1 - Is there any way of simply reading the tape data using an SD camcorder if I ever needed to ? - There are programs that use them to archive data so I guess in theory it must be possible just to read the data, unless it's stored in an SD compliant file format rather than just data.
2 - is 1080i HDV (1440x1080 res) as captured by the Sony HC3 a cross-vendor format or Sony specific - (if 1 is impossible) could I if needed say pick up a Canon HDV camcorder and use that to import my video?
3 - are we to assume now that DV/HDV is dead as a consumer format despite it's better image quality compared to hard drive/memory card video codecs.
Hopefully Sony will repair my camcorder for a fixed rate charge - if they can't or won't what are my options for importing the video I've got on tape?
There are bound to be companies who'll do this for a fee if worst comes to worst, but I feel a bit annoyed with Sony for dropping support for the format after buying an expensive camcorder only a few years ago.
Even if it can be repaired, I'm not sure I'll want to continue using it if there's a risk of future failure and inability to import old tapes. Frankly I'm glad I've used the video function on my Canon 5D II a lot in the last year or so for quick video clips even if many are transiently OOF.
Yes, my fault for not importing the tapes immediately after shooting, but I'd assumed that I would be able to import the data well into the future evene if it meant a new device.

Jeremy Hansen wrote:
HDV is not dead!!! Heavens, the pros laugh at AVCHD and hard drive based cameras. When you shoot on HDV tape, you have a backup.
Sony do still manufacture HDV pro camcorders of course - it's the early adopter consumer they've left in the lurch.
One of my original reasons for using tape was this automatic backup - silly of me not to routinely import tapes to Mac of course.
To answer your questions:
1. No, you can't read it with an SD camera. you are correct that it is just 12GB of data, but no software really knows how to go back and forth, so to speak. In case you care, there was an app years ago (I forget which) that could use a Dv camera as a 12GB backup drive. But practically, no.
Shame really seeing as it's just data - I'd used the Firewire SDK kit DVHSCap app to pull off 12-13GB m2ts files in the past which I felt would be ok for computer archival, unedited direct playback on PS3 and fairly quick to convert to AIC as needed for future editing purposes using a utility.
I did wonder if DVHSCap might be able to pull the data from an SD camcorder, but maybe the tape just would not play.
2. HDV is HDV. If you had problems, pros would advise you to import with the same camera, or at least same brand. But, usually there are no problems. There shouldn't be, but occasionally there are.
I was hoping this was the case, great.
3. Image quality is NOT better with hard drive based camcorders. In fact, most use a higher rate of compression than HDV. What is the advantage? A tape-based camera takes an hour to import and hour. Hard drive cams go faster. Some look great, but there is no advantage over HDV.
Yes, the only advantage of HD/card based camcorders is simpler import faster than real time, and I'd always been concerned with HD camcorders you'd have too many eggs in one basket if the HD failed in between imports to computer.
I own an HC-3, and you have to realize it was an early camera in the high-def market. I don't use it often (except as a secondary) because of its optics.
I've always found it produced pretty acceptable results - constantly amazed that 3-4 year old products get regarded as obsolete by manufacturers who just want you to buy the latest gadget.
Here is my advice:
Get a Canon HDV camera. Use it to import your tapes, and enjoy its superior optics and color quality. Opinion? Yes, but I believe it.
I may consider that if repair fails - any model recommendations that would trounce the Sony?
Cheers

Help needed. Having problems loggin in to my computer

Hi,
I recently upgraded to Mac os X 10.5, and since then I have been having all kinds of problems loggin in to my computer. It is not recognizing my password. I reset the Admin password using the install dvd disc, but that still didn't help. I loggin but I don't have access to any of my files or documents. Could someone please help.
Thanks in advance.

you really need to decide if you are going to reinstall or try to fix your current system. I just posted a long answer to your other thread.
is your current account listed as admin in system preferences?
and what happens if you try to log into your old account?

Help needed Hard disk Problem

I am not very computer Savoy!. But every time I turn my laptop on it keeps freezing up on me and I get a massage that says I am having a Hard Disk Problem and that I should back up all my files before the computer crashes. And I would like to what I should do to fix this? I thought that I could reload my operating system but my computer did not come with that disk and I can't seem to find it here on this web site. Any idea's?

Without knowing specifically which model you have it's difficult to tell for sure, but most Toshiba's made in the past few years come with a Recovery Partition. You can invoke the Recovery Process by holding down the 0 (zero) key while turning the computer on and holding it down until the Recovery Process starts. You can also create a set of Recover Disks from the Recovery partiton by going to "Start - All Programs - Toshiba - Recovery - Recovery Disk Creator".
As for the error message about Hard Disk Problem, that could mean that the hard drive is starting to malfuncion and will soon stop functioning at all. You need to determince what brand of hard drive your's is, go to that companies support site, download their Diagnostic Program, install it, and run the most exhaustive test to determine if it is failing or not.
And please backup you important data as soon as humanly possible as there is a good chance you will lose it forever.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.
