IMovie File Name Issues

I am creating a slideshow in iMove 9.0.2 by taking RAW photo files, converting them to JPEG's in Aperture 3, then dragging the JPEG's into an iMovie project.  I deleted a photo from the iMovie slideshow project by selecting the thumbnail in the project, then hitting the Delete button. I also deleted the source photo from Aperture. 
I then took the master RAW file of the deleted photo, gave it a different name, then assigned another RAW photo file the same name as the original deleted file.  Imported the new photo into Aperture, and dragged it into iMovie.  Instead of the new photo appearing in the project, iMovie still displays the old photo.  When I perform a "Control/Reveal In Finder" command on the incorrect thumbnail in iMovie, it leads to the proper photo in the Finder.  Aperture is also correct.  Only iMovie is having issues.  Is there any way to correct this prolem?

First a basic question: Is the external drive formatted as Mac OS Extended?
iMovie can't properly save to other formats and you may have trouble copying files via the Finder, too, if the drive is not Mac OS Extended.
iMovie HD now stores its project folder as a "package". You can see the old iMovie 1-4-style folder structure by control-clicking (or right-clicking) the project package. Maybe the offending file is hiding there. ...but you really should not change the filenames -- the project should copy without such tweaks!!

  • IMovie file name changes

    I seem to be having trouble with my hard drive and am trying to back up my movie onto an external Hard Drive. Everytime I try to back up the IMovie file I get an error message saying a specific file has data missing(I think because of hard drive issues). I have been able to find the corrupt file and change it and then try transfering the movie again. Each time it gets further along in the transfer until it finds the next corrupt file that needs to be changed...
    The problem is I cannot find the newest file it is saying has data missing. It is called IMG_62.jpg. None of my files match that description on my computer or external hard drive. Does IMovie can the names of files once they are in the project? Does anyone have any advice how to find this file? My project has about 500 pictures and video, and I don't know what is corrupted. The movie plays in IMovie but it won't let me transfer it to the external or export it to a .dv file.
    Thanks for any help,
    Brent

  • File name issue in mail adapter attachement.

    HI all,
    i built a scenario proxy to mail in which the data will be sent as attachement to the mail id coming from proxy it self.
    I added the transform bean and xi mail adapter bean correctly..
    The scenario is working fine without errors...
    however the issue is. i have given the file name in for module key :
    Transform =   Transform.ContentDisposition =   attachement;filename="xyz.csv"
    but while testing the attachement is coming as "untitled.txt"
    i need the attachement to be named as "xyz.csv" only.
    where went wrong ...please give ur inputs.
    Thanx.

    Hi Kiran
    Then there is no need to use Transformation bean for this
    In Mapping map the mail package Content_type field with
    text/plain;name="xyz.csv"
    and select mail package and keep attachments in receiver mail adapter
    This will work
    Thanks

  • About File Name Issue by Robocopy

    Please kindly help as follows:
    Due to I need to migrate the Data from Novell to Windows 2008 R2, I have some issue about robocopy.
    My existing file include some long file / folder name and long file path. (More than 256 / 260 characters)
    When I try to use robocopy copy the files, some of them show error and mentioned that it cannot locate the files. All of them are long file name.
    I have tried to use "/256" and result is negative.
    Meanwhile, I do not want to shorten the file / folder name or path.
    If I would like to retain the same file / folder name and path, any suggestion?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    First you can test to use the \\?\ prefix and see if it can help accessing the path.
    Also mapped drive can help workaround the long path.
    For example, we have a folder d:\<248 characters>\folder\file.txt which over the 255 limits. However if we mapped "folder", which is under 255 limit, then we will have z:\file.txt, which
    will be accessible.
    Or creating a junction point can also help workaround this issue. For example, the folder path is c:\<240characters>\<40characters>\file.txt, we can create a folder c:\junction
    which point to c:\<240characters>.

  • File Name Issues while on Network.

    I have a Powermac G4 at my office and I am having a huge issue with file names that are on the network for my office. The mac is connected onto the network with dell servers running windows server 2003.
    The problem I am having is that the Mac wont recognize any of the file names correctly. example, say i have a document title MACFORUM.docx now on any PC's in the office that name is displayed correctly. But on my mac it appears to be returned to something similar to the dos 8.3 naming convention. So what i see on screen is some like ~9535451.MAC. Obviously this is not a real file just an exmaple.
    If any one could please shed some light on to why this would be happening i would really appreciate it.
    Oh and some backround on the issue is that it just recently started happening after the install of adobe CS3. I have contacted adobe and it is not on there end and i have re-installed the software with no avail. so any one with any idea i greatly welcome it and apprec

    How are you connecting to the server? Using Windows file sharing with an "smb" connection? Or does the server have file services for Macintosh enabled so you're connecting with an "afp" address? Do you see these file names in the Finder? Or are you seeing it the open/save dialog boxes in your Adobe programs?
    We have lots of Macs at the office (most have 10.4.x but we're moving to 10.5.x) and we share Adobe files from Windows 2003 servers without a problem seeing the correct file names. So, I don't think you should have a problem like that.

    Hi,
    If it is an array (see whetehr you are having String[] in the udf declaration part) then you can access the elements inside it by a[0] or a[1] etc...
    Do a display queue for the three input nodes of the UDF and see where the values are. If there is single value it shoudl be a[0], b[0] and c[0]

  • File Adapter - Archived file name issue

    Hello all.
    I am using an 11g composite application to read from the file system and move/archive the files to a "Backup" subdirectory. Everything works well, but the archived file name has the original filename plus an extra long guid. E.g.
    File_1.DAT_156dsfsdgw67rqwedb1c6b54d6fh7yerfa16wewet168erw)-dsfsdg
    Does anyone know how I can control the archiving feature of the file read adapter? I would love for it to just move the file to the Backup folder and keep the original filename.
    I look forward to a response.
    Thank you.
    Nick G.

    Thank you Sahil. I will look into it and test. I will post my results.

  • File name issue

    Hi All,
    My scenario is :
    1. SAP (sender ) sends file name to BPM(e.g myfile1.txt)
    2.BPM sends the same file name (e.g myfile1.txt) to a HTTP reciever.
    3.Http receiver then responses with a file(around 30mb size of file)
    4.Then the file can be send to a file system
    I need to save the file in the file system with the same file name (e.g:myfile1.txt) which is requested in http request(e.g myfile1.txt). How can configure file adapter to achive this?
    Regards,
    Praveen

    Hi Praveen,
         BY using the option of Variable subtitution in Receiver File Adapter CC, you can achieve this with the refrence of your paylaod and message.If the file name holding in the payload you can give the refrence of your structure which field is exactly holding the file name value.
    refer the following weblogs , how to use the Variable subtitution
    /people/sameer.shadab/blog/2005/09/23/an-interesting-usage-of-variable-substitution-in-xi
    /people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2005/08/11/solution-to-the-problem-encountered-using-variable-substitution-with-xi-sp12
    Hope it will give an idea to get the same filename which is coming from HTTP response.
    Cheers

  • File name issues

    Hello,
    I am new to Lightroom and I enjoy it a lot. However I have a problem with file names and I can't find the answer on the internet:
    When I rename files with Fn + F2, the name sequences stack up and now I end up with incredibly long sequences including the date several times!
    How do I reset the fine names so that I can have uniform sequences?
    Thanks for your help!

  • Batch Convert PowerPoint to Movies file name issue

    I need to batch convert powerpoint presentations to movie. But the save option forces me to use the same name on every movie. I want it to just save the presentation with the same file name. So if the powerpoint is:
    MyPresentation.ppt
    then the movie should be
    MyPresentation.mov
    How can I do this?
    Here is a screenshot of the workflow.

    Okay, so I tried ditching automator and doing the convert movie parts via applescript. This is what I tried but it gives me an automator error -212 (apparently on the first "perform action") saying "expected end of line, found property":
    Any ideas on how to get the script to work with autmator (I tested a modified version of this script outside autmator and it does work for a single file).

  • File name issues with Relocated Masters

    I am relocating Master Images from my Managed Aperture Library on my internal disk to a Referenced Library on an external hard drive. Everything in my efforts has run smoothly, except the names of the files that are showing up in my referenced folders on the external drive.
    I am setting a folder hierarchy, and this is working fine. For the file names, I am choosing the Version Name. This is where I am having a problem. Only some of the images are relocating with the Version Name. The others are relocating with the Master File Name instead.
    Why won't my images transfer over with the names that I am instructing Aperture to transfer them as?

  • SMB file name issue

    I'm not sure if this is a "new" issue after upgrading to Server 10.5.6 or if it's been around and we've just noticed it. The issue is simple: if someone logs in via AFP and creates a file or renames it to something with a slash e.g. filename/08.txt, users logging in via SMB will NOT see that file at all. This applies to folders as well. At first I thought it was a permissions problem, but it's not.
    If you log in via SMB and name a file with a slash, the AFP user will see a filename sans slash, e.g. filename/08.txt via smb becomes filename08.txt. BUT, if the AFP user tries to rename that file, the slash turns into a strange symbol.
    Is this a bug? A feature? Do I need to tell my AFP users to stop using slashes in the filename? You'd think the server would make the filename translation more gracefully.

  • "the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in [name of iMovie file] could not be read or written (Error Code 26)

    Hi all,
    I have an iMovie project in iMovie HD 6.0.3. (Mac OS 10.5.8)
    It plays, but I cannot copy the file (including saving it to a flash drive). I get either a message
    "the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in [name of
    iMovie file] could not be read or written (Error Code 26)" or the
    message "A project file is missing. The file [name of the QuickTime
    movie inside the project.dv] couldn't be opened and is being skipped."
    This happened suddenly, I was able to save a backup version numerous
    times while working on the project.
    I followed some of Karl Petersen's advise on apple discussions. I opened
    the package contents, and everything seems to be there. The source file
    (original QuickTime movie) is there and can be opened and played. I
    replaced the current project file with the backup in the package
    contents, but that did not change anything. I was able to export the
    movie timeline into a new project as a single clip, but would like to be
    able to copy the current project.
    Thanks for any ideas..

    Make sure all drives are formatted as "Mac OS Extended". (Journalling preferred, but not necessary).

  • In iMovie when I try to share a project to a file on an external hard drive it will work the first time but subsequently it says it is sharing but gives no time and file name and in fact just sits there not sharing the file.

    I have iMovie 10.0.4.  I want to transfer some old DV tape videos to MPEG 4 files to be stored on a 4 TB external drive. I successfully imported the video to iMovie, created a project by moving all captured files into a project and the first time I shared the project to a file  it worked as expected.  Every subsequent try to transfer another video would fail to transfer.  When I clicked save it gives the warning that it is too big for iCloud, iso I click create on this computer.  The progress circle comes up with no indication of progress.  The show activity drop down just says sharing to "file" no file name as in the first one and indicates no time remaining.  In fact it just sits there apparently doing nothing.  I'v tried it a half dozen times, deleted everything and started over.  It transfers the first project to file and then nothing on additional tries.  What do I have wrong, am I missing something?
