How do I import p2 card footage to FCP7 without the card.

I've been given a hard drive full of footage to start editing using Final Cut Pro 7. They dumped all the p2 contents on the drive. Each p2 folder's contents include 6 folders... AUDIO, CLIP, ICON, PROXY, VIDEO, VOICE. The audio and video folders contain .mxf files. Final Cut Pro is not allowing me to import these files through log and transfer. What would be the correct step by step procedure to import the content into final cut pro? Does each p2 folder need to be mounted like a drive somehow? If so, I don't know how to do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

First off...watch this:

I always import from the drive with backed up media, not the card.
First off, the CONTENTS folder should be named CONTENTS. Not CONTENTS #1, CONTENTS #2. And the folder named CONTENTS is what has all those subfolders. If the folder with the subfolder isn't named CONTENTS, then that is your problem.
What needs to happen is a folder is created and named...a uniqu name akin to a REEL number for a tape. Then, the contents of the P2 card are copied into that folder. The CONTENTS folder and LASTCLIP.txt file. THAT is the proper way to back up a card.

I have many of those lost photos on my iPod. How can I import those to my MacBook Pro without the iTunes synchronization kicking in and removing them?

I lost rather a lot of photos on a corrupted external storage device. I have many of those photos on my iPod. How can I import those
photos into my MacBook Pro without the iTunes synchronization function kicking in and effectively deleting those photos I want to
import from that iPod? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as those photos now only reside on that iPod...

The photos you synced to your iPod through iTunes are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnails of those photos. So if you do manage to get them off your iPod, they will be quite small in size compared to the original ones you lost.
In order to get them off of your iPod, you'll need the help of some sort of 3rd party software. Here is one option.

Hi,
Before you start, you should probably take a backup copy of your design (the .dmd file and associated folder), in case the update does not work out as you had hoped.
You need to use Import > Data Dictionary again, to start the Data Dictionary Import Wizard.
In step 1 use a suitable database connection that can access the relevant table definitions.
In step 2 select the schema (or schemas) to import. The "Import to" field in the lower left part of the main panel allows you to select which existing Relational Model to import into (or to specify that a new Relational Model is to be created).
In step 3 select the tables to import. (Note that if there are an Foreign Key constraints between the new tables and any tables you had previously imported, you should also include the previous tables, otherwise the Foreign Key constraints will not be imported.)
After the import itself has completed, the "Compare Models" dialog is displayed. This shows the differences between the model being imported and the previous state of the model, and allows you to select which changes are to be applied.
Just selecting the Merge button should apply all the additions and changes in the new import.
Having updated your Relational Model, you can then update your Logical Model. To do this you repeat the "Engineer to Logical Model". This displays the "Engineer to Logical Model" dialog, which shows the changes which will be applied to the Logical Model, and allows you to select which changes are to be applied.
Just selecting the Engineer button should apply all the additions and changes.
I hope this helps you achieve what you want.

How do I import images from my hard drive without losing resolution? My original files after import are significantly smaller. What should I do?

How do I import images from my hard drive without losing resolution? My original files after import are significantly smaller. What should I do?

Hi Keith, and all others chiming in, I do have the correct option checked in advanced settings telling iPhoto to copy the images into the library. What is a refernced library? Perhaps this is where I am getting confused. I exported my entire photo library from an old iMac5 to my external hard drive, from there I attempted to import the entire library to my new iMac. Am I overlooking an obvious and easy way to import from the hard drive to the new iMac--I dragged the entire photo pholder from the hard drive to the open window of iPhoto on the new computer. Now, I only get preview file sizes in iPhoto, unless I have my external drive open. Perhaps I need to import the original images from the hard drive in a different way...?! (This is making me feel pretty stupid.)

How do I import DVD to IMovie? What is the best way to import DVD to a Mac?

Hi everyone!
I need some help, so here are my questions.
How do I import DVD to IMovie? What is the best way to import DVDs to a Mac?
I would like to keep the original quality from the DVD.
Thx.

You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

How do I add page numbers to my document without the page numbers automatically changing. I do not want the page numbers the software automatically places into my document.

How do I add page numbers to my document without the page numbers automatically changing? The title page is blank, I can type in 1 on the 1st typed page, but the #1 automatically goes into the next page and will not change.

Click at bottom of the first page:
Menu > Insert > Section break
Click somewhere in the 2nd page (not the header/footer)
Inspector > Layout > Section > Page Numbers > Start at 1 > Configuration > uncheck use previous headers and footers
Click into the header or footer of the second page:
Menu > Insert > Auto Page Numbers…
If there is anything in the header or footer on the first page that you don't want just select it and delete it.
If you really wanted to manual place page numbers on each page you will have to use a section break between each and every page. I can't imagine that would be useful.

How can I import eex files into Applications EUL from the unix command line

How can I import *.eex and *.dis files into an Applications EUL from the unix command line?
Thanks

Hi
The simple answer is you either have to use the client tool DIS51ADM to import files using the command line (Discoverer Admin is a windows only client tool), or the Java command line which needs a browser.
In theory if you have a browser running on your Unix box you may be able to use the Java command line to make this work.

IPhoto 11 - How can I import photos from my hard drive keeping the folders the way they are?

I recently went from PC to Mac. I transferred thousands of photos, many of which I had in albums. When I imported them into iPhotos, it didn't seem to preserve my albums, unless I'm not seeing something. Is there a way to do that?

To begin with we only have words to communicate with on this forum so it is critical that we use the same ones
in iPhoto you have a library which can be views as events, photos, places or faces -- events and photos view show all photo in your library and faces and places show only thos that have faces or places assigned
albums are logical entities that are pointers to the photos in the library and are used for organization
folders are logical entities that hold albums or other folders and also are used for organization
The photos (by default and recommended) are copies into th eiPhoto library with is a SQL database. you ony access the photos using the iPhoto program or the media browser which is in the lower left hand corner of each open/attach/upload window
If you drag a folder of photos onto the open iPhoto window it will import them and create an event names the same as the folder if you drag the foldr of photos to the source pane on the left it will import them into an event and create an album
The biggest problem most windows users have is thinking of managing their photo with a database rather than the old way of managing files with a file manager
iPhoto is much more powerful since you can serach the database on any criteria
Hope this helps
It also would be helpful to watch the iPhoto tutorials under getting started - http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/

How to get my high definiton footage to show on the DVD as high definition

I recorded a wedding with Sony High Definition cameras one tape based and the others hard drive based 1080i. I have edited it and when I exported to DVD Studio pro as a quicktime movie and had the settings as current. I burned the disk and played it and it does not look like high defintion at all on my tv. What can I do to get the same quality that shows on the computer?

When you burned the disk in DVD SP, you downconverted it to Standard Def... Search this form on "Blu-Ray" and you'll find out how to preserve that HD... not easy without FCP 7...
