How to use Lightroom 5 [was: 6] to transfer related .WAV files for VISIBLE display next to my Nikon D4s NEFs?

Please help me. The ability to do this crucial to my workflow as a photojournalist and columnist.
Today I discovered that I have a serious problem when I tried to use Lightroom 5 to transfer my RAW images and their associated .WAV files from my Nikon D4s memory card. I did a search online and found that a Canon user has this same problem:
Part way through the transfer a message box appeared on-screen telling me: "Some import functions were not performed. These files are not photos or videos," followed by a list of all of the .WAV files.
I rely on those audio files to remind me of things that I need to know about for my column with regards to the associated photos. Sometimes I even use those short audio files to record sound effects.
I am using a Mac running on the new Yosemite operating system.
I like the fact that Lightroom does not do destructive editing vis a vis the added description and other metadata, as opposed to Nikon transfer which apparently does do "destructive editing," but I've been using Nikon Transfer 2 and, before that, previous versions of this program for years. I have never had an issue with corrupted photos due to the transfer process. This is a significant drawback for me of Lightroom 5.
Surely many, if not most, people at Adobe use Canon and Nikon DSLR cameras, so why would they allow such a serious flaw to be in Lightroom 5?
Am I missing a step that will eliminate this problem or is there a workaround for it?
Thank you for your help.

I entered the Library drop-down menu, clicked on "Find" and typed .wav in the search window. Lo and behold, only the 13 photos that had associated .WAV audio files were then visible in Library view.
Hmm, I wouldn't have guessed that would work. It doesn't work in my LR 5.7 -- it doesn't find any photos with associated .wav files. I wonder what's different about your situation. In your Library Filter bar, when you do Library > Find, what appears in the two red circles below?
In my previous message, I was referring to the third-party plugins Data Explorer and Any Filter but forgot to include the links. Though the two plugins are quite a bit different, they each give you the ability to specifically search for associated files with a given extension.

How to use the manually entered Hours/Days in the Duration field for BG_ABSENCE_DURATION

Hi All,
How to use the manually entered Hours/Days in the Duration field for BG_ABSENCE_DURATION fast formula?
Requirement is to restrict employees for applying for leave more than the accrued balance. In SSHR, apply leave functionality, the employee enters the start date, end date and duration manually. The entered duration must be used in the fast formula to check against available balance.
In the BG_ABSENCE_DURATION FF, I have a function to calculate the net accrual balance as on the calculation date.
I want to add the logic as - If to_number(Duration) /*[manually entered value]*/ > net accrual balance then
Duration = 'FAILED'
invalid_msg = 'Error'
return duration, invalid_msg
Thanks!

Hi,
We have a standard functionality to override the duration calculation and you don't need to add a validation for the same. Please set the value of profile option HR: Absence Duration Auto Overwrite to Yes
When you do this user will not have to enter the duration value manually. It will get auto calculated based on the duration calculation in BG_ABSENCE_DURATION when you click on the next button.
For not allowing negative leaves to be applied, If you are on R12 then, this is a standard functionality and you need to set profile option HR Allow Absence Negative Balance to No
If you are on 11i then refer Note: 268171.1: How Do You Stop Accrual Plans from Going Negative?
Try and let me know in case you need further help.
Thanks,
Sanjay

Trying to figure out how to use a video's alpha channel to define its hitspace for a button

Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to use a video's alpha channel to define its hitspace for a button. I would greatly appreciate anyone's help with this.

Currently I'm doing an image sequence inside of a movie, and putting the movie in the button. I hope that's what you're asking. Not sure if I entirely understand your question. (Been a little while since I used the interactive side of Flash)
Anyway if you have a specific process that you personally do that works I'd happily conform to your solution.

Attached is Dennis Linam’s Audition – “Log File” and “Log – Last File”
Contact information Dennis [email protected]
Previous contact information with your organization (DURIM):
Dennis - i just finished my audition trial and bought the subscription the 2014 version.
created by durin in Audition CS5.5, CS6 & CC - View the full discussion
DURIM - Okay. I would expect the "Cache Warning" message because your default directories would not be the same as the ones in the settings file I generated.
If you go back to the "7.0" directory and open the "Logs" folder, can you copy the "Audition Log.txt" file and send it as an attachment to [email protected]? We'll take a look in that logfile and see if it gives us more information about why this is failing now.
Also, do you have any other Adobe applications installed on this machine, such as Premiere Pro? If so, do they launch as expected or fail as well?
I do have the trial Pro version of Adobe reader, but I have not activated it, because I fear the same thing will happen did it. I cannot afford to activate the subscription for that product and take the chance of it not working either. I depend on those two programs religiously. Here is the files that you requested. I appreciate any help you can give me to get this audition program started

How to use LightRoom with Premier Elements?

I have recently learned LightRoom 5 and feel fairly comfortable with it. I'm now in the process of working on movie editing starting with Premier Elements 11. I'm just starting to go through it and I see that it integrates with an organizer that seems germaine to the Elements group. Issue is that I'm already using LR for organization. Am consequently a bit confused.
Can anyone suggest how to work with LR and Premier Elements together?
A secondary question has to do with audio file management. I see that the Elements Organizer also includes audio files. But LR doesn't. To date I've managed audio with Windows Media Player. Can anyone offer any suggestions for moving forward with audio management?

I use Lightroom 5.2 and Premier Elements 11 on a fast video optimized i7 PC laptop with lots of memory. It even has a Blu-Ray burner!
My photo and video files are first copied and stored by camera and date. Then I use LR to organize and preview, review and select both photos and clips. IMO, the clip preview ability of LR is very good. LR will let you make some simple edits to clips but I don't use that for video, only photos. My photos will be a mix of JPG and RAW and I will tune them with LR. Some of the photos may get some extra masking or HDR work elsewhere and then brought back into LR.
As I've preview the clips, as well as photos, that I want to use I put them in a LR collection. Next I prepare a project specific folder on my SSD named something like "Vacation Trip". If it is a big project, I may make some sub folders such as city names.
The big step is to "Export" copies of all the assets I've selected for the collection. I open the collection and select everything in it. Right click, pick Export, set the destination, rename them if desired, select "include video", select "Original" video format, select PSD for images and push the Export button.
The reason for "Original" video is because I don't want any extra compression or processing of the video clips. I want Premier Elements to do that. The reason for "PSD" is that I want my LR adjustments of the still photos to be included before I put them in the project.
Next I open a new PrE project. Before adding any assets, I make sure the the scratch disks are assigned to the project folder.
With the scratch disks set, I then load the assets. I make sure one of the primary video clips is the first to be placed on the timeline as that adjusts the "Project Settings" if necessary. Then I start building the video with the security of knowing I'm only working on a set of image and clip copies.
My audio file management is done entirely the old fashioned way in Windows Explorer. I have an audio assets folder and a system of descriptive folder and file names. I can preview them from Windows Explorer before I import a copy to a project folder. Adjustments to volume and clip length are done to he copy in PrE. I frequently buy a $2 audio clip from Vimeo specific for the project because I like having a license to use the music!
When I'm done, I move the entire project folder somewhere for long term storage.
Hope some of this works for you. If you have suggestions, I would appreciate hearing them.

How to use lightroom with desktop PC and mobile with MacBook Pro ?hav

At home I have a desktop PC with all my lr files stored on NAS drive I want to be able to access and edit on macbook when away from home.

Example on how to use the NI "saving a front panel img to file" on a prog.

New to the labview program - I'm trying to save the front panel of the displayed output to file. I downloaded "Panel_Image_to_File.zip" from the NI site. But I'm having problem using the code to our program so as to save the image as a jpeg.
A simple example on how to use the code or any other code that will be able to save the front panel to a specified folder will be great.

All you should need is an invoke node of VI class and the the method Get Panel Image. Wire the Image Data output to the Write JPEG File on the Graphics & Sound>Graphics Formats palette. The Invoke Node is on the application Control palette. When it's on the diagram, right click and select Class>VI Server>VI. Right click on it again and select Methods>Get Panel Image.

How to import a .wav file for adding to a clip in imovie 09

I want to know how can we import a .wav file in Imovie 09.
The sound is in some location on my 2nd hard disc.
I checked this page
http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-import-audio-into-imovie-09-project s.navId-323836.html
but this does not help my requirement.
I have a video in which there was a lot of hiss recorded via camera I exported the audio and using some audio filtering softwares cleaned the sound and now I want to import this clean sound back to my imoive project.
It is a .wav file which is clean and without hiss.

I see.By the time I saw your msg I had done the same and opened Itunes to play.
There was an option in Imovie to import Itunes playlist or file and was able to do so.
Any one will guess as in File some import menu
should exist for this.In this case it was not that.
mp3 clip needs to be played in Itunes
where Itunes will make it a part of the mp3 library it has.
Then Imovie 09 has a way to import the shared playlist from itunes.
