"Import" splits takes into clips and loses footage

When importing footage from both my Sony HDV camcorder (directly) and my Sony DVCAM camcorder (via a Sony DSR-11 deck) to my Mac Mini using firewire cables, FCPX breaks some takes into multiple shorter clips.
Whilst this could just be annoying, it's much worse than that as it loses footage as it does it, at the unwanted clip breaks.
FCP Studio used to give the option of auto splitting imports into clips, FCPX appears not to.
Any ideas for preventing the automatic splitting of takes?
Thanks.
P.S. Most recently, my one minute of colour bars is now six separate clips!

I don't run iMovie 08, so am not entirely familiar with it's use. I think that you can export each iMovie 08 clip to a new iMovie 08 project, then export that new project (containing one clip) to Quicktime, and from there import into iM6 for editing.
Here are a couple of threads for you to look at.

Splitting video into clips

video downloaded from DVD will not split into clips for editing how can I split into clips. The DVD is from an old camerea not compatable with windows 7 so have to download from DVD . jules

It sounds like whatever was put on disc was put on a DVD-R Intenso brand disc.
Probably the tape content was put on that DVD-R disc in DVD-VIDEO format. It gets more complicated if it gets put on the DVD-RAM type disc (which does not seem to be the case).
To verify the format of the material on your DVD disc, put the disc in the burn tray, go to computer, and Open the drive. You should see at least two folders, OpenDVD, VIDEO_TS, and maybe AUDIO_TS. Those folders are indicative of a DVD-VIDEO format.

Now back to Premiere Elements and the Video Importer. The video editor is not going to rip off clips from the DVD-VIDEO format. It is going to rip off VOB video files which contain a fixed number of files before it generates additional of its kind for additional video content.
Once you have the video VOB files (typically starting with VTS_01_1.VOB...spot the larger file size ones), in the Video Importer, you bring them into the project where you split them into clips that you want. You can do that in the Preview Window with the Set In Set Out point.

Subtitle workflow. Is it possible to import srt files into premiere and then export to Encore?

Hi, I'm editing a series of short documentaries that wil be published in DVD with subtitles, and I'm wondering if there's any way to import srt files into Premiere and then export the project to Encore.

You can easily (and better, IMHO) do what you want in Adobe Prelude. It's part of the CC subscription, and may have been included with CS6.
Open the Ingest panel, navigate to the external drive where you have your source clips, make the thumbnails in the Ingest panel comfortably large, click a video clip to enable scrubbing, and use the J-K-L keys to navigate playback through the clips. Put a check mark on the clips you want and be sure to select and set up the Transfer option on the right side of the panel before ingesting. Don't select the Transcode option.
Cheers,
Jeff

I am importing a cd into itunes and it is creating 4 different albums. How can I get it all in one album?

I am importing a CD into itunes and it is creating 5 different albums.
1 album for most of the songs and 4 other albums for single songs from
the CD. How can I get itunes software to put all the songs into 1 album?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

Imported slide show into PE11 and some pics rotated unexpectedly, How can get back to horizontal?

winkhi
Just what are the pixel dimensions of these photos that are automatically rotating on you in Premiere Elements 11 workspace after being transferred there from the Elements Organizer Slideshow Editor? Do I have that correct? If so, how are you making the transfer....Edit with Premiere Elements Editor, Burn to Disc, or other as Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor output?
What is the scenario...from the camera to the computer hard drive, landscape; from the computer hard drive to the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor, landscape; from the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor to Premiere Elements 11 Project Assets/Timeline, rotated to Portrait?
Do you find that the frequency of the problem is related to pixel dimensions, number of photos used? What is the format of these photos, jpg or other?
Are you using the Rotation option in the Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded to correct the photo rotation?
Just some thoughts for now.

I've imported a CD into iTunes and it doesn't show up anywhere

I've imported a CD into iTunes and it doesn't show up. iTunes can't find the album or artist or any song. But when I go to re-import the CD, it says it already has those music items. How can I fix this so the new CD shows up in iTunes?

Does it show in your "Recently Added" playlist?

Dreamweaver Can I import muse pages into Dreamweaver and "up grade" them

Dreamweaver Can I import muse pages into Dreamweaver and "up grade" them
Muse is terrific for basic pages, but forms, and scripts require more capability
Also is there anyone watching this who does freelance work on web design?

13:46:44
Thanks Murray
Yes I have looked at the Muse code and also looked at it in a plain html editor, (Been using Arachnophilia for about 15 years)
and the code is a mess.
You are dead right. I figured I would start with Muse to get some of the concepts sorted out, and that has worked, but I know I will need to use DW for my main site
CanLaw has about 1500 pages all done in html with tables….
time to play catch up
Ton of work, but I have a masochistic bent anyway
But in the long run life will be simpler if I make the effort now.

How to break down single file imported from quicktime into clips?

Can anyone help? I am trying to import video footage from a sony handycam, and have managed to import using USB via DvDxDV and then quicktime. However, it imports the movie as one big clip, is there anyway to instruct iMovie to break the clips down? Thanks

is there anyway to instruct iMovie to break the clips down?
You have to do that manually by Command-T or by "Split Clip at Playhead" -menu command.

Split Events Into Clips

I'm importing DV video into iMovie that is recovered from a reformatted drive, and all of the original camera info like dates and such are gone. The video is intact with sound; however, iMovie cannot tell when the camera goes on and off, and each file is imported into one big clip. Some parts of the video should be separated into separate events, as they are not related, and I cannot find a way to split the event.
Any suggestions? The files are .dv, and I don't really want to resort to Quicktime to separate the video to organize it.

I had the same "one big clip" issue when importing old 8mm/Hi8 via a Sony camcorder last weekend. I couldn't split events because there was only "one" clip to work with. Our local Apple store showed me another way that should work for you, too:
1. Locate where two scenes change using the little red vertical line.
2. Click in that area and shrink the yellow editing frame down to its minimum size (I was able to get it down to 0.1 seconds or about three frames worth).
3. Delete that short piece and the clip should be split there.
After I went through my imports doing that, it was easy to use the "Split events" function to rearrange everything.
Hope this is useful...

Reading fixed length flatfile & splitting it into header and lineitem data

Hi Friends,
I am reading a fixed length flat file from application server into an Internal table.
But problem is, data in flat file is in the below format with fixed start and end positions.
1 - 78 - control header
1 - 581 - Invoice header data
1 - 411 - Invoice Line item data
1 - 45 -   trailer record
There will be one control header and one trailer record per file and number of invoice headers and its line items can vary.
There is unique identifiers to identify as below.
Control header - starts with 'CHR'
Invoice Header starts with - '000'
Invoice Lineitem stats with - '001'
trailer record - starts with 'TRL'
So its like
CHR.......control data..(79)000.....header data...(660)001....lineitem1...(1481)001...lineitem2....multiples of 411 and 581 and ends with... TRL...trailer record..
(position)
I am first reading the data set and store in internal table with a field of 255char.
by looping on above ITAB i have to split it into Header records and line item records.
Did anyone face this kind of scenario before. If yes appreciate if you can throw some ideas on logic to split this data.
Any help in splitting up the data is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Simha

before doing the below steps just takethe controle record and trail record cutt of from the table input based up on the length

LOOP AT it_header.
    split it_header AT '0001' INTO TABLE it_item IN CHARACTER MODE.
    write :/ it_header.
ENDLOOP.
after this you need to cut the records in tocorresponding fields in to respective tables by putting loop on item and header table as i decleared above.
i think this may solve your problem you need to keep some minnor effort.

Can you import a Podcast into iMovie and get both video and audio?

I have iMovie 11 and Garage Band '11. I created a podcast in Garage Band that I now would like to use in iMovie. I would need the video and the audio to work.

You might be able to get it to work but I would not recommend it. You would need to export the Aperture slideshow as a QuickTime Movie using h.264 codec or Apple Intermediate Codec. You would need to make sure that the slideshow was on a timed advance, not manual advance. It would be a single clip, and not easy to insert transitions, etc.
The best way to import from Aperture would be to create an Album in Aperture containing all the photos you want in the order that you want. Then, you can drag the whole album into iMovie with one drag from the Photo browser in iMovie. You will want to drag the small icon for the album into the Project. You will have all your photos in order, but you can edit them individually and add transitions and titles.

Imported ESS BP into NWDS and views of the components displaying diff lang

Hi All,
We have uploaded the new ESS Webdynpro based BP 600 and we have configured that in NWDI and i imported that one into my NWDS. But as i created the project for the Cat(timesheet one), all the views are displaying a different language other than english.
How can we change this to english and why is it coming so
Please guide me.....
Thansk & Regards,

Ravi,
is it happening for all the users.
if yes check the iview property and see what language is set.if not then check the language of that user in SU01 in backend
Thanks

Import Enterprise Service into Repository and Enhance Service

Hi experts.
We've activated with transaction SOAMANAGER a enterprise service discovered in ENTERPRISE SERVICE WORKPLACE in SAP BACKEND.
In SAP PI we created a external definition from WSDL definition and we've developed a SOAP to SOAP scenario where SOAP receiver is pointing to this service. Everytring is working fine but I have some doubts.
1. Is that the best way to proceed? Should I have to import metadata in someway from enterprise service workplace into repository and not create a external definition from import wsdl retrive in ENTERPRISE SERVICE WORKPLACE?
2. Now we have a new requriment and we have to add to a new field into response message. So we need to enhance the enterprise service. How we can get that?
Thanks a lot.
Regards.

Hi.
We're using 7.11.
First question resolved. In this guide is explained how to enhance a standard enterprise service:
[http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c0bb5687-00b2-2a10-ed8f-c9af69942e5d?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true]
One of the steps is create a enhanced data type from original data type and then import this enhanced data type to backend with SPROXY transaction. Then you can enhance the standard code with BADIs. But my question is, how I import to SAP PI repository the metadata of a standard enterprise service (data types, message types, service interface). I'm using the enterprise service SupplierERPBasicDataByElementsQueryResponse_In.

Importing Synth Names into Logic and the "environment"

Logic 7.2, OSX.4.something...
I'm brand spanking new to Logic (migrating from Opcode's Vision...) and I have 3 questions:
1) The Environment: I've read the user manual chapter on "The Environment" and I'm totally lost. Is there not a way that Logic can read what's attached to it via your MIDI interface/OSX MidiCore setup and create an environment based on this automatically? This would be a good starting point at least, but there's no mention in the manual of this function and it seems crazy that one would have to create each instrument, define each channel and so on down the line.
2) Once my synthesizer and their channels are defined how do you get synthesizer patch names into logic such that when I pick an instrument from the track or arrange window, I can see a list of all patches available in any given bank for that instrument and pick my sound (ie: send the bank or program change message....) This is not explained anywhere that I could find and I'm curious if there's a way to import via sysex or a universal librarian. I'm an old school Opcode Vision user and I have patch names for all my gear and I can't imgine having to type all the names and even if I did, there's nothing that explains how to do this and assign patch change and bank change commands. Can sombody explain or point me to a resource that explains in laymans terms how to set up ones MIDI environment based on their MIDICore setup and get patch names to come through.
3) Librarian: I can't find anything that talks about a way to manage patches and instruments within Logic and I need some method of being able to manage and get patches into Logic. Does Logic have a librarian or do I need a 3rd party program? If it doesn't have this, can somebody suggest a program that would meet this function and integrate with Logic such that I can import and manage patches?
I hope this makes sense to somebody....
Thanks WAY in advance....
G4800 quicksilver Mac OS X (10.4.7) Dual boot system

Hi and welcome fellow former Vision user. I too came from Vision a couple years ago
to answer
1) Yes, the 1st time you open logic it looks at your audio midi setup (AMS) to make a basic environment from the info there. if there no hardware synths listed there they will not show up in Logic. Unfortunately Logic does not come with any synth device lists to add to your AMS so there is none to choose from. you will have to define them or you can use the MOTU list. you can download a copy here http://www.digicake.com/midnam/ download the MOTU.sit MOTU uses these midnam files for bank and patch change info. Unfortunately Logic does not use the bank and program information in them, it sure would make setting Logic up much easier
2) To Get patch names into logic you can type them in one by one or use a word processor doc to import the names Pages 216 and 217 of the manual explain this
3) Librarian? well sort of... Emagic had one called SoundDiver that I think is still in beta testing for OSX but I am not real familiar with it do a google search and see what you come up with
I am hoping that someday Apple will use .middev and .midnam files to address outboard synths the same way DP does. That is why I use DP when I want to make standard midi files for outboard synths. DP is very similar to Vision in that way. but for everything else Logic rules
