Help with batch processing

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!!

This is what my script looks like. Although I was worried about the strange characters in the script, it does work.
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.

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)...
Jodie

hmm - 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...
Jodie

Urgent help required : Batch processing error of an inbound idoc

hi,
i have a problem while posting an idoc to the GL(FB01).
i'm using an Inbound idoc message type : ACC_GL_POSTING
idoc type : ACC_GL_POSTING01.
Process code : BAPI.
In the transaction code OBA7 i have enabled a particular document type as BATCH INPUT ONLY.
i have set the option " Trigger by background program" in the partner profile (we20).
while testing the process i'm getting the error "Document type -- is only defined for batch input".
how can i overcome this error? can idocs be used to post for transaction that are batch enabled . plz help me.
with regards.
T.Jeyagopi.

Jeyagopi,
There are different types of Data loading into SAP.
BATCH INPUT / BDC / IDOC / BAPI etc. BATCH INPUT are standard programs that take the data and update SAP. I don't think that is same as batch processing of IDOC.
You might want to remove the setting of batch input, retain the batch processing in WE20 and try it out.
In my opinion it should work.
Regards,
Ravi

DVDSP preset question with batch processing.

I hope someone can help.
When I drag my files that I want to batch process, where I can
choose the output, for example DVD HD, etc.
These presets have different times with them for video, like 120, 190, or even 30.
My question is, what is the difference between them? Does any of them produce better quality of the video?
My video files are .avi files and run about 30 minutes.
Also, does it matter which I choose as far as HD DVD, DVD best quality, etc., if these are already .avi files or just choose DVD HD and have the best quality possible?
Thank you for any help that is given.

About the numbers, the 30, 120, 190, etc. What do
those numbers mean?
Are they minutes? And if they are minutes, does that
mean it goes by how a regular dvd has minutes on it
or does it go by how long each file is, or total size
of project?
What those numbers mean are the amount of material that will fit on a DVD-5 based on the encoding settings, so in other words if you choose 120 it means that about 2 Hrs of running time of video will fit on the DVD encoded at that rate. Normal and high quality are whether it is a one pass or two pass
I am still a little confused.
I have 10 .avi files. Each one is about 30 minutes
long and is about 300mb.
I am unsure on what video setting or settings to use
that will allow me to have at least the same quality
as the files already are.
Encoding will reduce the quality, sometimes you may notice, other times not, but you have about 6 hours worth of material there. Depedning on what it is you can make a DVD-9, but unless it is very low motion probably not a DVD-5 (Also 300 Megs for 30 minutes of material (and I have not looked at new avi codecs recently) sounds like the material is already compressed heavily
To give you a rough idea, DV which is what comes from many consumer cameras with firewire, is compressed at a rate of about 5:1 already, and 9 minutes 20 seconds is just shy of 2 Gigs, so 30 minutes would be in the area of 6 Gigs of DV (or about 18 times the size of your files)
i have already done the audio portion of each file so
the video portions are all I need to do now.
Best thing to do is play with the settings, test small sections where there is less motion and more motion. In general 2-Pass is going to provide you with better results than one pass

Can I desynchronize one station with batch process model?

Hi,
My project has 5 stations run test in parallel. I decide to use batch process model since I want them to start and stop together. Beside start and stop, I have some certain part in the test sequence need to sync together. But in 5 stations, I want one station work without sync at these steps. I tried using batch synchronize with precondition but it looks like other stations still wait for the one I skip the sync. My another option is using rendervous with number of parallel thread is total - 1. I test and this works. But I still want to know if I can use batch synchronize step or not because this offer the start sync and exit sync feature.
Thank you!
Solved!

Doug,
Thanks for your answer.
I want to have something happens parallel with other threads but without affect by batch sync steps. I have multiple stations working parallel in assembly line. They are sync because of pick and place. But I want to have one process works as station manager who keep track of UUT between station and other environment condition like pressure, temperature.

Generally, the intent of the TestSockets in the process models is that they will have a 1 to 1 correspondence to UUTs, does your 5th socket correspond to a UUT? In otherwords are there 5 UUTs under test at one time? UUTs often need things like report generation or database logging. Does your 5th socket require report generation? If not perhaps this 5th socket is really more of a utility thread and thus creating a new thread or execution at runtime makes sense for it. If your 5th socket instead does really correspond to a UUT that is being tested in parallel enitrely separately from the other UUTs then perhaps you should start up a new execution for that socket using the sequential model and just have that running at the same time as your other sockets are running with the batch model.
So it really depends on what you are using that 5th station/thread for as to what approach would likely work best.
Hope this helps,
-Doug

Distill a folder of PS Files with Batch Process

We have just upgraded to Acrobat 8. Now a batch process is not working that has been in use since version 5. Please help.
Run /N2 acrodist.exe myTextFile

/PathName (C:/PlotFile/In/862143A/*.ps) def /RunDir {{ /mysave save def dup = flush RunFile clear cleardictstack mysave restore } 255 string filenameforall } def PathName RunDir

> Thanks, this works. What exactly does the -f switch do?
I thought the reason was explained in a FAQ somewhere, but I can only seem
to find it as a forum response:
"To solve what was believed to be a security hole, by default, Distiller 8.1
no longer permits any file operations to be performed in PostScript. The
PostScript run operator is one such operation. The workaround is to invoke
the distiller with the -F flag. - Dov "

Help with scheduling Process Flows in Workflow in 10gR2

Dear All
I am after some help with the scheduling of process flows (PF) in Workflow in OWB 10gR2. I am trying to set up some PF’s to handle the refresh of some staging tables from various source systems. I have created a separate Process Flow Module for each source systems, mainly just to keep them separate and organised. I have a number of mappings which all run fine if execute manually or linked directly to a schedule/job. The problem I am encountering is when I try to run process flows from schedules. I have created process flows ok and have run them manually and they complete fine so I know that the content of the PF is ok. After linking and deploying the jobs I can never get all the process flows to run from the various schedules. What appears to happen is that the first PF works ok and any other PF that are within the same Process Flow Module/packages also runs ok even if its running off as different schedules. However PF’s under the other Process Flow Module fail with the following error

Following this error the PF will not even run manually! If I then stop the schedule and either drop or replace this failed PF thus redeploying, the PF then runs fine manually and if the restart the schedule it runs ok the next evening. My problem is that this then appears to impact on the other PF’s which all though have not been touched and ran ok the previous evening they then fail the following evening with the same error

I basically can not get both sets to run even though they are on separate modules and separate schedules.Has anyone any idea as to what could be wrong or if I am setting something up in a strange way which would cause these symptoms.
All help or advice greatly appreciated

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 austria

You 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 batch

Hi forum,
I'm using batch with CS5 to save JPG files in a new folder from Illustrator files located in another folder. I recorded an action while using save for web and devices to save a JPG file with the required options. With any options I tried in the batch window I can't get a smooth batch operation. With each file processed Illustrator displays the dialog "do you want to save this file" and I have to choose yes or no in order for the batch to continue. My workaround is to put a heavy mug on the Enter key of my keyboard and this will choose OK when the Save As dialogs appear for each file but I can't use other programs during the batch and when completed the destination folder is full of Illustrator files, 2 copies of the original Illustrator files for each JPG saved. This makes the batch command very slow and a big pain.
Has anyone successfully completed a batch command with SC5 on Windows to save JPG from .AI files without these problems?

There is a thread in this forum explaining with an image the correct settings but my problem is with point one "make sure that this section is grayed out". I don't know how to make it grayed out. The batch dialog opens with a folder already selected from my previous batch settings and the section is not grayed out. I can do it only if I reset the Illustrator preferences but if I don't click the Choose button in this section when I click OK to start the batch, a message is displayed saying I must click on it and choose a folder and I can't proceed.
