Import without rendering?

Hi there
I am trying to import a.mov file I've bounced out from a FCP project back in to final cut. How can I do this without the big red line for rendering showing up?
Tim

You need to export it with the sequence settings you intend to use. If these are the same as the original source sequence then just export to QT (ie the first option in the export menu) as opposed to QT conversion.

Exporting unrendered AE comp from PP without rendering

Can I import a complex unrendered AE CS4 composition into Premiere Pro CS4, add a sound file, and export it in H.264 or any other format without rendering it in Premiere Pro first?
I already started the export in Media Encoder. After 45 minutes, it says there are still about 6 hours to go. My projects drive is picking up an MP4 file (0 bytes), an MP4 video file (52kb), and an ADTS audio file (8kb). Will it work?

Personally...I would have created an Intermediate in AEFX then used that in PPro.
This is a way of checking that AEFX did its job properly and eliminates a lot of rendering during encoding processes..

Capturing digital audio and editing without rendering?

We have a collection of LDs and VCRs that need to be converted to DVD. For this purpose, I purchased a Canopus ADVC 300 which appears to be working great.
The perfectionist that I am, I'm using Optical Digital Audio to import audio from the LD Player directly into my Mac Pro.
(Interesting note here. While FCE is incapable of importing video from one source and audio from another, QuickTime Player X is very capable. FCE is officially behind the times. There is almost certainly an upgrade in the works.)
I can import the video from the Canopus directly into FCE. The digital audio has to be captured by something else; I'll probably use SoundTrack (the non-Pro version comes with FCE).
The digital tracks are 44.1 kHz 24 bit (integer), but FCE does not have an option for this offering only 48 kHz 32 bit floating point instead.
Q. What do I need to do to be able to use the audio in FCE without rendering?
Additionally, even if I import the movie made with QuickTime Player X, the sound will not play in FCE; the 44.1 kHz difference?
Q2. I plan on buying an AC3-RF Demodulator to decode the 5.1 AC3 audio from LDs which make this audio available. Does anyone know which program I'll need to capture all of the tracks for consequent use in FCE?
cheers,
Gregory

If you have QuickTime Pro, you should be able to open the audio files in QT Player, then export them at the sample rate which matches your FCE Sequence. FWIW, many of my students use CD audio (@44.1kHz) in their FCE projects with success, despite my urging to convert the sample rates so that everything matches. They are, however, working with just a few minutes of audio which is not synched to their video.

I have my iTunes music folder stored on an external hard drive. I recently purchased a new Mac. After attaching the external hard drive, all the songs imported without any problem except my Playlists. Any clue about where they are or how to revive them

I have my iTunes music folder stored on an external hard drive. I recently purchases a new Mac. After attaching the external hard drive, all songs imported without a problem except my playlists. Any clue about where they are or how to revive them for use on my new Mac?
Thanks!

Correct.
After that just select the new folder location in iTunes> Advanced settings.
Incorrect.
Hold Option and launch iTunes.
Select Choose library and select the iTunes folder.
This will read the iTunes library.itl file in this folder and the library as it was previously will be opened.

Renderfarm error: Pre-Flight Error: Unable to import previously rendered file

I have an error message I am receiving during network rendering on a renderfarm, and was hoping for some help. The error is this: "Pre-Flight Error: Unable to import previously rendered file."
Here is my setup and some details:
The user makes a comp, and adds it to the render queue set to render as a quicktime movie file. Then they run a script which precomps everything and sets it to render as a image sequence with "Skip existing files" checked. This comp also has a post-render action set to import & replace usage. After this comp is rendered, it gets pulled back into the project and the original render item starts rendering the movie file using the previously rendered image sequence as it's only layer.
This project gets saved to a server where our render nodes are watching the folder. All the render nodes pick up the project and proceed to render the image sequence. Then, after they are done, 1 machine will pick up the second render item and begin rendering the image sequence into the final quicktime movie.
All of this goes smoothly about 90% of the time. However, in some cases an error shows up in the watch folder html page for the 2nd render item (the one converting the image sequence to the movie). The error says "Pre-Flight Error: Unable to import previously rendered file." After the error occurs, no machines will start rendering the project.
My first guess is that the render engine on one machine somehow skips rendering the image sequence comp, and then tries to render the quicktime movie comp and fails because the image sequence has not yet been rendered. However, I can't figure out why After Effects would skip rendering the first comp.
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks for the help, and let me know if you have any more questions about the setup,
Adam

Well, you should get used to the fact that it's simply gone... Just looking at your screenshot makes me grind my teeth. From delayed writing of files to fragmentation in user folders to Windows doing obscure things this could be anything, but seriously, saving important files on the desktop? That is simply sloppy data management. There is no other way to say it. Read up on what proper file naming, incremental saving and backups are good for and why keeping work files separate and away from your user home directories is actually a quite simple, yet effective concept to avoid exactly that kind of issue.

Dropped frames / preview without rendering - A few questions

Hey guys,
I'm pretty new to video. I'm a photographer, but I've been getting into video a little bit recently. I shot a music video last weekend and I'm trying to edit it now. I was originally using these settings for my timeline based on the suggestions of a tutorial I found online. I'm shooting with a 5d mk ii, 24p.
System settings
RT - Safe
Video quality - low
Frame rate - full
I was originally using h.264, but I was encountering problems with dropped frames, and I read on here that it was better to use another codec so I switched to pro res 422. Now I'm having the issue that I'm unable to preview my video files without rendering, which is kind of time consuming and annoying. How can I set up my timeline to preview without rendering, while still using a supported codec?
Thanks, I'm sorry if this has been covered before. I've done a bit of digging and haven't been able to find any answers.
Nate

I just uncheck the warning at dropped frames box, and hit unlimited RT.
plays like rolling your body down a hill of nails, but I'm cool with that... B|

Can a project be saved on a dvd without rendering or encoding?

Can I save the data of my project on a dvd or cd without rendering it, encoding it or transcoding it? and then be able to load it again with losing any files?
Please help!!

Elio,
I'm not clear on exactly what you wish to save to writable media. If it's just your Project file (.PRPROJ), then the answer is yes. This would be a data CD, or DVD. These files are not very big, so a CD would probably work fine.
Now, if you wish to "archive" your Project, complete with the media files, you probably need a bunch of DVD's as these files will be in raw form and not compressed. Project Manager can be used to "archive" your Project, but you will very likely want to do this to a large HDD, and not to writable media.
Also, I might be missing what you want completely.

Is there anyway to mark a photo in the camera roll as imported without importing

Is there anyway to mark a photo as imported without actuall importing the photo? Some of the wallpaper apps on the iPad copy the image to the camera roll so you can make the image your background. I don't want to delete the image as I may use it later. Everytime I connect my iPad to my mac it launches iPhoto and wants to import the camera roll.
Another option would be to move items to another photo album and delete them from the camera roll bit I haven't figured out how to do that either.
Any suggestions would be great.

No - to have it imported you have to import it
why not import it and then delete it in iPhoto or ignore it

Updated to LR 5.4, images now importing extremely slow. After importing and rendering images are still very slow to go through and develop. No issues in LR 5.3 which was very fast.

After importing and rendering images are still very slow to go through and develop. No issues in LR 5.3 which was very fast. Canon,Nikon, Leica and Fuji files all rendering slow. iMac 2.9 ghz 16gb RAM OSX 10.8.5. Catalogs and images are kept on external drives. Drives running fine. Really need a fix on this since I'm norally imported and processing at least 4,000 images per LR Catalog. Is there way to revert back to 5.3? I can't use 5.4 is its current state. Thanks.

Download LR 5.3 and install it
By the way, lots of people have this complaint about LR 5.4, and the advice I give is to use LR 5.3 unless you need one of the new camera models supported by LR 5.4

Opportunity import without other admin tools

Is there a way for me to enable the opportunity import in addition to the typical Marketing Import without the full
admin privilege? When I enable the 'Admin Import' privilege even Oracle Migration Tool On Demand and Oracle Dataloader On Demand
are enabled, which I don't want.

Not at this time. I would recommend that you submit an enhancement request to CRM On Demand customer care.

Import photos without copying? I Have thousands of photos on a hard drive separate from my mac and i dont have enough space on my mac to copy them to. Any way to import without copying to the local hard drive?

Import photos without copying? I Have thousands of photos on a hard drive separate from my mac and i dont have enough space on my mac to copy them to. Any way to import without copying to the local hard drive?

Yes, but you might want to think carefully about it.
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing. The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
This is an attractive option for some users at face value, but it contains a significant number of issues that you might want to consider before making the decision to run a Referenced Library
How to do it:
iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck the box at 'Copy items to the iPhoto Library'
Now when you import iPhoto makes an alias in the Library Package that points to the stored file. Note: iPhoto still creates a thumbnail of the image and it makes a Preview of edited photos inside the Library Package.
Issues?
1. You are responsible for file management. That's more work:
You must first move the files from your camera to the storage location before importing.
If you want to delete files then you must first trash them from iPhoto and then afterwards find them in your storage and trash them.
Thereafter, you cannot move the files on early versions of iPhoto at all, on iPhoto 08 and later you may move them on the same Volume or Disk. If you move them to a new volume or disk the aliases my break. If they are on an different volume and you move them the aliases will break.
You cannot rename the files.
Migrating: moving to a new machine, moving the files to another disk are all a lot more complex.
2. You gain no extra functionality from running a Referenced Library. Nothing. This is just storage. You still manage the files via iPhoto. You edit them with iPhoto or via iPhoto's External Editor setting, otherwise you're changes will not be available in iPhoto. You don't save byte of storage space.
3. If you have the Library on one volume and the photos on another you if anything changes in the path to a file (Like if you upgrade your machine, move the files on the NAS or on to another one?) then the alias will break, and you'll have to repair it manually. For every photo in the Library. One at a time.
Why do you want to run a Referenced Library?
Because my photos won't fit on my HD?
You can run a Managed library from an external disk. Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
You're worried about accessing the files?
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

First-off, this seems to be a general problem with 10.4 (across all the operating systems of which I am aware). Unfortunately, I cannot provide a permanent solution but, if you need a quick fix, this will (hopefully) work for you.
For some inexplicable reason, iTunes no longer recognises standard Windows paths. For example:
Y:\Music\Buddy Holly\Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
The end result is that it will import a playlist with no content.
It will, however, recognise the equivalent Apple paths which look like this:
file://localhost/Y:/Buddy Holly/Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
It is possible to convert your existing playlists using a few basic replace commands in something like Notepad. In my case, I made some code changes in my music manager and now generate two sets of playslists (one standard and one to accommodate iTunes).
Forgive me foir stating the obvious but please remember to make sure that the disk / path containing your music is accessible when doing the import otherwise you will probably get a blank result. Note that you can do a bulk import by selecting all the (revised) playlists and dragging them onto the iTunes sidebar.
I am sorry that this is not a "clean" solution but it will work if you are in a bind. The only alternative of which I am aware is to wait for Apple to fix the problem.

How do you render specific parts of timeline without rendering the whole sequence? cs5

New to CS5 Premiere pro, im trying to render certain sections of my timeline without rendering the whole timeline, in Avid you would just mark in and mark out the area you wanted to render, is there something similar to that or do you always have to render the whole timeline?

Place Work Area Bar over the part of the timeline you want to render and then hit Sequence/Render Whole Work Area.
If you mean Export also place work area bar over section and make sure in the export settings, Source Range (bottom left) is set to Work Area.
