How to move all videos out of Aperture and in to iMovie?

I have a MacBookPro with a 240 GB SSD for OSX, apps, etc. and a secondary itnernal HD that is 1TB.
Remaining space as of today:
240GB SSD = 130 GB free
1TB HD = 103 GB free
My Aperture library (managed) resides on the 1TB and measures 139 GB on disk.
How can I effectively "move" all of my videos out of the Aperture library and in to my iMovie library?
My goal is to slim down my Aperture library to be able to move it on to the SSD for better performance. In addition, I rarely find myself referencing or modifying video in Aperture, almost exclusively using iMovie for video.
Thanks for advice!

With these stats, I would expect that you need to make your Aperture Library entirely Referened, and not any Managed, unless you have mostly video in it.
The process would be to use the Relocate command to move masters from the library to folders elsewhere on the 1 TB drive, and then simply copy the parred down library to the SSD drive in the Finder -- drag and drop will work.
I am not sure the connections will survive, and you might find the need to reconnect to all the referenced files, which is not hard to do, once the library has been moved to the SSD. You need always a good measure of free space on the drive with the library, as space is used for many housekeeping tasks, including conversions associated with any future updates to Aperture.
The Relocate command will work with either photo or video files.

How to retrieve a video corrupted by Aperture?

Hi,
Earlier today I exported a video from my Aperture library to my desktop, but I got an error message saying that the process did not complete and now the only thing that's left in Aperture is an image preview with a yellow triangle. Aperture says it cannot locate the reference file and there is nothing on the desktop either. I tried to explore the database, but the .mov file has gone from the masters folder. I tried to repair the database, but it did not work. I tried to use data recovery software, but they did not find any trace of that video. I am not using vaults. I looked on the Internet for similar cases, but could not find anything. The video was made from an iPhone 5, but I did not have an iTunes backup so I can't get it back that way. I tried anyway o recover data from the iPhone's flash memory, but the videos are gone. My last Time Machine backup does not include a copy of that movie either...
Can you please suggest how Aperture managed to corrupt my precious file through a failed export and how I might be able to retrieve that video? The original movie file must still be on the HD somewhere in one form or another.
For your information, I use Aperture 3.4.3, the library is 243GB large, the video I exported was 105MB. My MacBook Pro is running OS X 10.8.3. I've been using Aperture for about 2 years and never had this issue before.
Thanks

I have just opened a bug report. Here is the content for information:
Hi,
I would like to report a bug with Aperture 3.4.3. It is the same issue as reported by another user under reference case #13497037.
On 31/03/13, I exported a video out of Aperture. The file was originally created by an iPhone5 in full HD. Its name was IMG_159.MOV and it was 105MB large. I selected the file in Aperture and exported the original to a folder on the desktop based on the project name and version name. Aperture started the export process, but after a short while I got an error message saying that the export had failed. Immediately after the message, a yellow triangle appeared on the video and it will not play anymore.
Upon exploration of the library package, I can find the thumbnail, but the master has gone. I tried the 3 different option to fix the library without success. I tried the different options to reconsolidate masters, but Aperture just says no masters can be located. I then scanned my entire disk with a data recovery software (Wondershare Photo Recovery 3.0), but it did not find any deleted or active master file (it did correctly find the thumbnail in the library).
That video file was not backed-up yet so for the moment I have completely lost it, which is a problem as this was an important video.
Later on the same day I did 2-3 other exports in the same conditions and they worked fine.
Then, on 01/04/13, I exported another video also made from an iPhone5 in full HD called IMG_154.MOV that was 346MB large and that also included my preset IPTC metadata. The process failed exactly as described earlier and now that file is corrupted too and the master has disappeared.
I then tried to export another few videos in the same way and the problem has not occurred again yet.
I did not notice the size of my library going down and another complete computer scan with my data recovery software did not reveal any deleted files, so I do believe that the masters of my 2 corrupted videos are still hidden somewhere inside the library.
Can you please assist with the recovery of these masters. I have spent some time on the Internet and I have personally come across a few users who seem to have experiences exactly the same issue, so this is not an isolate problem. However, so far it has only happened randomly on my machine.
Thanks

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

How do i get video out to connect to aprojector

How do I get video out of my Ipod touch(4th gen) to connect to my projector. I have the correct cable and the projector work fine when connected to my laptop, mirrors the creen correctly But I cannot get an output from my Ipod.Cheers

hi
I think I have found the app, I was not seeing the obvious, so I can now play videos on the Ipod itself. With regards the cable it is a Dexim unit which plugs into the long Ipod socket on the base.From that unit there is a cable terminated with jackplugs.One end into the dexim unit another into the projector. As I said it worked fine on a 2nd generation, I just played the video on the 2G Ipod and it came thru onto the projector. Hence my thought that it was a setting and/or app on the 4thG Ipod.
Again many thanks for all your help, at least it is improving my knowledge of Ipod
Cheers
PS started with the ipod download guide but the problem isnt addressed hence my plea on this forum.
PPS I've emailed Dexim to see if just in case the unit I have isn't compatible with 4thg Ipod for some reason

How to move my videos from videos to camera roll?? I can not access them to create a proyect in imovie...

As far as I know, iMovie will recognize only Firewire connected camcorders. If you are connecting with USB, it will never work.
If the memory card is removable, take it out and use a card reader to copy the video to your Mac.
I found this from a topic ………

How to move all files from a folder for a user to a centralized folder on a core server with a GP

Hello,
I was curious if someone know how to move all the files of a user "local" profile on a Terminal Server to that of a centralized server where the "local" profile of like the user desktop, favorites, setting, etc are stored in the event
the local profile on the TS become corrupt it can pull from this server...
The problem I have is no matter what I tell users to save there files to our Y drive that is a folder that is synced
across all 6 of our TS servers, users still store files on there desktops, so as you can imagine if one day they are on one server, then next day they could be on another and there files aren't the same.... hence the reason why I want to move all there files
to the centralized server so when I redo the profiles from scratch on the TS server in the farm they suck files from the core server and have all of the files they are used to having....
So I was curious and I've heard from some this is possible in a GP, but I'd like to move the contents of all 6 TS for
each user or if I have to d this on per user basis I will, just looking for a way to move the files....

Hi Trevor,
To move all users’ desktop to a server, we can use Folder Redirection to do this. The path for Folder Redirection is:
[Group Policy Object Name]\User Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Folder Redirection
In this situation, we can choose to redirect desktop to the root of a network file share or a folder on a network share.
Regarding how to configure this, the following article can be referred to for more information.

Hope it helps.

How to move all the standard and adhoc reports from cube to multi provider

How to move all the standard and adhoc reports from the basic cube to multi provider?
i created this multiprovider to do the maintenence on the basic cube. for example the infocube physical partition, line item dimension and compression.
what we decided to do is move all the Standard and ad-hoc reports from the basic cube to the multiprovider. How to do it? and make a copy of the basic cube and do the maintenence on the cube. please help.
Thanks in advance sdn experts!

Hi Les,
This sounds good and one thing we try to always keep in mind when undertaking such activities is to always minimise the impact to the user and make the process as transparent to them as possible. So lets say you have your multiprovider and copied queries up in Prod, these queries will still pick up the data from the base cube.
Now you need to make a copy of the base cube for some changes to the cube model, I would suggest that you copy the cube and make your changes on the copied cube itself. Then 9depending on the changes done) you can load data from Original Cube to New Cube. When this is being done, make sure that you change your queries to add a restriction on 0INFORPOV by Original Cube.
After the load to the new cube is complete you can run reports restricted to each cube to verify the numbers. Then change the 0INFOPROV restriction in the queries to point to the New Cube and disengage the old cube from the multiprovider.
Hope this helps...

How to move all files but X to Y

It doesn't really matter if it's in the terminal or if it's a applescript but I need to know how to:
Move all files in a dictionary but a few named.

Could you pleas explain more?
If you do not understand the shell while loop, it is possible that using shell commands is a bit more dangerous than you might want to try.
The explanation:
ls -a | grep -v "X" | while read file
do
    mv "$file" "Y/"
done
ls -a will list all the files in the current working directory (including the invisible files that start with a leading period. Thinking about this, maybe you do not want to include -a. You could cd /path/to/the/desired/directory as a way to set your current working directory as the directory you wish to move things from
cd "/path/of/the/from/directory"
ls | grep -v "X" | while read file
do
    mv "$file" "Y/"
done
The ls command's output is piped (the vertical bar | ) into the grep command (general regular expression parser). The -v option tells grep to throw away any lines (filenames) that match the regular expression "X". So if the regular expression X matches all the files you do not want to move, the filenames send to the next pipe will be the files you wish to move.
The while loop will read the filenames grep has selected and invoke the mv (move) command for each file selected by grep and move them to the destination directory Y
The bigest risk is that you will execute this in the wrong directory and move the files that you need somewhere else. OR WORSE, if "Y" is NOT a directory, and you DO NOT put a trailing / the mv could move easy file to the destination file, deleting the previous file for each file moved, so effectively deleting every file in the directory except the last one.
This is why I said if you do not understand what is going on with the shell commands, you could do damage to your system.
ls could have the /path/of/the/from/directory instead of using the cd command. The grep command could be replaced with egrep that allows using alternate matching strings:
ls /path/of/the/from/directory | egrep -v "abc.txt|def.jpg|xyz.mp3|etc..." | while read file
do
    mv "$file" "/path/to/the/destination/directory/" # notice the trailing slash for safety
done
Good luck. I hope you do not destroy your system
