Help with Batch Editing Loop CD's in Logic
Helo there. I've been given the task of organizing and editing someone's loop library. I've filtered through and narrowed down the CD's I'd like to cut up and export as individual files. I already have a naming convention that works for us, however, I'm wondering if there's a streamlined process for doing this.
My current plan is to import each CD's tracks (anywhere 20-45) into a single Logic Project folder. As of now, I have to go through and manually splice each track (even though there is distinct silence between the parts I want to export individually). Copy each part to a new track then export them all when I'm finished.
I guess what I'm looking for is any advice to speed this process up (other than coffee!) Has anyone had to do anything like this before? Is there a quicker way of cutting up these tracks than doing it manually?
Any help would be appreciated
*Strip silence* the audio into regions:
Then *'save regions as'* from the audio bin.

Quite! Never a good idea, even with really old software...

The program software should install fine (others report using it successfully) but the difficulty has always been registering it. To do this you need to find a program (that often people discard, unfortunately) called ce2kreg.exe and run that. That's where you enter your registration details, and how you get rid of all the noises that CE2000 will put all over your audio otherwise (unless you severely restrict the facilities you can use).
It used to be the case that if you'd lost the registration program but had the serial numbers, that Adobe would send you a copy of ce2kreg.exe, but somehow I doubt that they'd be willing to do this any more - it was a long time ago now, after all. -
I need help with my for loop in this array
Ok well, I can't get my code to work. Also, please remember that this is just my draft so it isnt pretty. I will fix it up later so please look at it. The thing I want to do is look into the array for a time that matches what the user entered and return the toString() of that one. I know there is something wrong with my for loop but I cant figure how to fix it. please help. here is what i have so far:

Inbound.getTime() is a static method of your Inbound class, that always returns the same value, I presume? As opposed to each of the 25 members of your array in, which have individual values?

Help with resultset and looping thru a sql filed
Hi,
I have a SQL statement which connects two tables with accounting number, the table2 have multiple rows for one accounting number in table1.
So I did if else condition in accounting number in resultset as following:
List<AccRecord> retval = new ArrayList<AccRecord>();
while(rs.next())
//instance of account record
AcciRecord acct1 = new AccRecord();;
if(acc_No != accountNumber)
//then get all data from table1
acc1.setEmpId(rs.getInt("ACC_ID"));
acc1.setEmpId(rs.getString("Acc_Name"));//and other 20 fields like this
else if(acc_No == accountNumber) //this is where it breaks down if same acc number has more than one row in table2,we don't //want to get all other data again from table1
//also get all data associated with that accounting number from table2
Other other1 = new Other();
other1.setEmpId(rs.getInt("EMP_ID"));//these are datas from table2
other1.setjobCode(rs.getString("JOB_CD"));
other1.add(crew1);
retval.add(acc1);
}My question is how can I make logic right, in above code for the first account number it will go to else if condition (coz very first time acc number is never going to be different then previous accounting number,so it won't get my accounting data, the way I have compared it)
I want to code like for one accounting number it brings all accounting data and for that accounting number it also brings all employee data (which is in table2) which will more than one entires,
So..when accounting number is same as previous it shouldn't get all data again from table 1 ,it should go to only else if condition to get data from table 2 , it should go to my if block only when there is a new accounting number, in other words when there is next record in table1
Can anybody help me??
Please...
Thanks
Edited by: ASH_2007 on Mar 28, 2008 11:55 AMhi there,
thanks for ur feedback
but it is always going to contian accno .. so it will never go in your condition
May be I haven't explained it well
I need something which gets all data for every new account number in table 1
Now for that same account number, table2 have 3 rows including that account number 3 times (I am connecting this 2 tables with acc no, table 1 doesn't have duplicate acc no but table 2 does)So my resultset runs 3 times for the first record in table 1, because for that accno table 2 has 3 entries
This is because my sql is as follow,,which I have to,,I can't change due to requirements...
SELECT A.accNumber, A.Date, B.EMP_ID, B.JOB_CD
FROM Table A, Table B, (SELECT SSA.accNumber FROM Table SSA, Table SSB
WHERE SSB.EMP_ID = ? AND
SSA.accNumber = accNumber) C
WHERE A.accNumber = C.accNumber
AND A.accNumber = B.accNumber
//so if I do: like this in my resultset
while(rs.next())
Integer accNumber = rs.getINt(accNumber);
accno =accnumber;
if (accno != accNumber)
{ get all account data
else if(accno == accNumber)
{ get all other data
}but question is it will not satisfy my if condition , because for a new record ,in this case,in first record acc number will never match...
I appreciate your help and time
Please help me

Hi, I am having trouble with batch processing. I want to apply adaptive noise reduction (ANR) to several files from the same source tapes. So, following the help instructions, I create a script from one file. When I try to apply it to the other files, instead of applying ANR to them, it simply saves them as is. The steps I perform are as follows:
I select the entire wave (I have also tried it without first selecting)
I open the scripts box in the file menu
I click on open/new script collection and create a new script
I title the new script
I click 'record'
I close the scripts box
I run ANR on the file
I go back to the scripts box and click 'stop current script'
I click add to collection
I close the scripts box
I open the batch processing box
I select the files, then the script, then I click to start processing
When I try to apply this to script to other files, it saves them but doesn't apply ANR.
Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong? Also, in the scripts box, there are three options for the type of script that I can create. One is highlighted: 'Scripts start from scratch.' Is that the correct one to use? If not, how do I select one of the others? I click on them but nothing happens. Finally, when creating a script, do I save the file before or after clicking 'stop record'? I have tried it both ways but don't know which is correct (neither seems to make a difference).
Just to be as thorough as possible, below is the text of one of my scripts, in case that contains any clues. Thanks so much for any and all help!!

Make sure that the script you use is suitable for the sample rate and bit depth of the file. E.g. if you have 44100/32-bit files, then don't use a script that was recorded on a file with e.g. 48000/16-bit. If required, resample or make different scripts for different rates/depths.

Help with multiclip editing in FCP
Can someone please help me with multiclip editing. I have followed all the steps in the tutorials I have watched but I am unalble to switch between the two angles in the time line. Also the red line in the time line is telling me to render everything first . Is that normal or is it because I am using the 5.0 version of FCP?
To switch between angles, the timeline should not be rendered. Once you render it, it may play more smoothly, but you can't switch.
Also, sometimes you may have trouble switching many HD files, so it might work better to use Media Manager to make lower resolution proxies for your editing, then bringing the full-res files back for your final output. If the computer can't handle the load, it may refuse to do multiclip editing.
Finally, you may need to switch Playhead Sync back to "Open" from time to time. For some reason, the Viewer sometimes switches to "Sync Off".

Online help with Batch Capture
I'm trying to online a sequence in a tapeless workflow. I'm using Log & Transfer along with Batch Capture but Batch Capture keeps looking for a deck. How do I get it to look for my Hi-Res digital files?
Yeah...that's the problem.
You directly imported it and worked with it natively? What is this footage? From what camera?
The only way to offline/online with tapeless is to bring in the footage via Log and Transfer. Log and Transfer to ProRes Proxy...then you can Batch Capture to a higher data rate ProRes format. -
Need help with "batch saving workflow" quicktime / automator
Hi, my goal:
I have a lot of folders with (windows) DV-avi files I need to change container to apple mov.
The best way - I found out - to just change the container from avi to mov - without touching the video and audio stream or metadata - is:
open the file in quicktime pro 7
save as self contained movie (same filename, same location).
wait til finished.
open next file...
As far as I understand, the script should open and handle many files automatic, file by file - always waiting til process is finished, before starting with next file.
A probably similar thing I found is a script for batch encode..... but I need batch save , because I don't want to "touch" the source media
on run {inputFiles}
if inputFiles is equal to {} then
set inputFiles to (choose file with prompt "Select the file(s) to convert:" with multiple selections allowed without invisibles)
end if
open inputFiles
end run
on open droppedItems
tell application "Finder" to set inputFolder to (container of first item of droppedItems) as Unicode text
set outputFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Select output folder:" default location (inputFolder as alias)) as Unicode text
set exportPreset to (choose from list {"Movie", "iPhone", "iPod", "HD 480p", "HD 720p"} with prompt "Choose QuickTime Export Preset:") as Unicode text
if exportPreset is equal to "false" then
return
end if
repeat with currentItem in droppedItems
repeat until getProcessPercentCPU("CoreMediaAuthoringSessionHelper") is equal to ""
delay 30
end repeat
tell application "Finder" to set fileName to name of currentItem as Unicode text
convertFile(currentItem, outputFolder & fileName & ".mov", exportPreset)
delay 30
end repeat
end open
on convertFile(inputFile, outputFile, exportPreset)
tell application "QuickTime Player"
set thisMovie to open inputFile
export thisMovie in (outputFile) using settings preset exportPreset
close thisMovie
end tell
end convertFile
on getProcessPercentCPU(processName)
do shell script "/bin/ps -xco %cpu,command | /usr/bin/awk '/" & processName & "$/ {print $1}'"
end getProcessPercentCPU
As I can’t get it to work myself, I ask for help…….
Appreciate your answer
all the best from austriaYou don't need to go through the double export process. You can either place the edited and rendered 720p sequence in the 352x288 sequence and then export, or you can scale the image down on export in the QuickTime Conversion export module, or in Compressor. Any QuickTime can read uncompressed video.

Need help with an infinite loop please
Can somebody please help me out with displaying text that's been imported from another file onto a JTextArea? this is the code i've been trying to get to work, and it does, but it is stuck in an infinite loop and i can't see why. I've tried adding a counter before the while loop, and displaying and incrementing it inside the loop. The counter gets to 32 (the last line of the file) then goes back to 1 and starts again. Any help, or explanations would be awesome, thanks.
String line;
while ((line=reader.readLine())!=null){
System.out.println(num);
append(line+" \n");
}think you will have to post some more of the code, is that within any sort of loop itself , has it its own method ? is it an event handler ? ..btw the append sould be fine .. is this a subclass of a TextArea ? where is this bit of code ?

New bee looking for applescript help with text edit app
I have a huge text files (20+) , I want to find a list of words like weather, farmers, ploughing. I want to find these words one at a time, as my text file is 250+ Mb in size.
I want applescript to count the how many times each word appears in the text.
Paste that occurrence of word into an spreadsheet file in a row named after text file , and in a column named weather, farmers, ploughing.
Please help.
Thanks much.

PS so far I can open the text files with applescript, that is about the extent of my ability in programing.
Message was edited by: coldfusions oncoFor a file of that size, you would need to use some shell utilities to get decent performance. To count words, the following script breaks up the text into words, then counts the number of times the specified word is found (a dictionary file is used as an example, so the match is equivalent to 'contains'):
<pre style="

width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #DAFFB6;
overflow: auto;"

set theFile to "/usr/share/dict/web2" -- a 2.5MB list of words
set someWords to {¬
{theWord:"weather", theCount:0}, ¬
{theWord:"farmers", theCount:0}, ¬
{theWord:"ploughing", theCount:0}}
repeat with anItem in someWords
set aWord to quoted form of theWord of anItem
try -- break up into individual words, then search and count
set theCount of anItem to (do shell script "tr -cs '[:alpha:]' " & quoted form of linefeed & " < " & theFile & " | grep -ic " & aWord) as integer

Help with Exporting Edited Version of Picture
With iPhoto I an trying to edit (crop and adjust the color) of photographs. I have tried exporting the photo, but the cropping does not come over. Color changes come fine, but no cropping.
HELP?!?!?
Thanks.
B2Cropping takes a few steps. Click Crop, choose a constrain ratio if you want, adjust the crop box to where you want it. Finally, click Crop again to perform the crop. When you click Done or select another photo you should get the message "Saving Changes" (or something to that effect) to let you know it worked.
Are you doing all of these steps? -
Need help with batch processing picture packages
Hi, I am having trouble batch processing picture packages is CS2. (Windows).
I have hundreds of images that need to be processed into picture packages and would love to find a speedier way to do this.
I know how to create an action. I know how to batch process from this action. I also know how to create picture packages, but I cannot get the final result I am after - please read on....
I have seperated all the images into their seperate folders for each style of picture package required.
I can create an action for the picture package required and then do a batch process on the particular folder, but this leaves all the picture packages open on the desktop - as when you chose the close and save in the batch process - this only closes and saves the original image - the picture package has been created as a new document and is on the desktop still open - named Picture Package 1, Picture Package 2 - etc etc.
I hope I am making some kind of sense here... (??!!)
What I would like to happen is that the picture package will be saved over the original file (or to a new folder) with the original file name of the original image or maybe even with an adjustment to file name (e.g - orignal file name sc1234.jpeg - new file name sc1234packA.jpeg)
So is this possible to do?? I'm thinking there must be a way.... i'm sure there are many group photographers out there who come across this everyday??
Otherwise I have to save each picture package manually to original file name (via searching though files to match the original image to the picture package....) Very time consuming.
Thanks for your help (in anticipation)...
Jodiehmm - thanks for that - sounds like I will have to try and find some info and assistance regarding the scripting - it may be something I need to look into at a later time in the future....
At the moment though I will have to plod along with this method I guess!
Thanks for your assistance...
