Imported clips order

Hi, using a Sony handycam with mini DVDs, I always get an annoying problem while importing clips in iMovie: in the import window they are al correctly ordered, but when import is finished, clips in the Event Library are all in accidental order... this dramatically slows assembling the project...
Am I doing anything wrong?
Thank you for your help!

Hello everyone! I have several Mini DV tapes that I had (back then) exported my edited and published movies to in order to (also) store the completed video on the Mini DV tape(s). Now, to fast forward, I want to import the content of my Mini DV tapes into iMovie in order to work with the content further. What I do not like is that I receive several clips which is more than annoying because I have music and narration, etc. already applied from editing the movie back then and exporting to the Mini DV tape - hence, I want ONE CLIP ONLY otherwise, I get cut up transition with narration and music (in iMovie with several clips) that flowed properly from the completed movie on my Mini DV tape. How can I import as ONE CLIP ONLY? Please, anyone, help!!! Thank you in advance! Cheers, Jason

Importing clips from iMovie - jittery

Just got Final Cut Pro 5 and I'm having a problem with importing clips from iMovie into FCP5. The clips were fine in iMovie, but the images are jittery in FCP. I tried Apple Care, but they wanted to charge me $200 to answer my question eventhough I just bought the software yesterday!
any ideas most welcome - thanks

Nowhere is it advertised that iMovie is compatible with FCP.
One is a consumer format, with less features, like lack of timecode. The other is a professional format, which relies heavily on timecode.
Yes, output to tape from imovie, then capture with FCP.
#20 Using iMovie to Capture for FCP edit
Shane's Stock Answer #20:
iMovie handles the media differently from FCP, specifically where audio is concerned. So it is not a recommended workflow. Here's why...
iMovie captures using DV Stream (.dv) standard which does not use timecode. That is a big disadvantage over the way that FCP captures in that you can't go back and recapture the material at a later date if you need to revisit a project.
The DV/NTSC specification (the one FCP uses) also calls for seperate tracks for audio and video, even if you capture it as one clip. iMovie' DV stream format is muxed audio and video, which means that they are tied together (I can't get into specifics because I ain't no engineer or programmer). FCP is a bit more demanding and captures the seperate audio/video tracks, either in a single media file or as seperate video and audio files. With FCP you could capture video only or audio only because each is defined by the DV specs. while with iMovie you can't.
Also, if you drop the iMovie footage into the timeline, your will get the RED render bar forcing you to render the footage in order to see it...

Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date. The files show up on the hard drive but many are not showing up in Aperture.

Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date. The files show up on the hard drive with import date not created date, but many of these same files are not showing up in Aperture. Sometimes the clips actually show up with the current import but take on the video information from a previously imported file.

It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did.
Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

IPhoto clips & directly imported clips

There is the area in the bottom left that gives you a listing of "events". It seems no matter how I slice and dice the view commands or any toggles I have found to be able to combine the iPhoto clips with the directly imported clips.
What I am looking for is to be able to have the clips sequentially listed in that area (regardless of its source or current storage location). As it stands now, I have to keep tabs on the dates in the iPhoto clips while working myself up/down the iMovie directly imported clips to be able to put all clips sequentially in my project.
Can you help?
My next step is to export those files from iPhoto and import into iMovie. But, that seems like a lot of work. I have begun to import my more recent clips directly into iMovie and not have it go into iPhoto at all. But, I have many previous clips that I did not do that, thus my issue above.
Thanks

(and, it seems that it didn't subdivide into iPhoto events as much... meaning, iMovie put the clips into different mini-events within iMovie's iPhoto clips, but, some are combined... therefore, I am having to take the time to re-subdivide my events before dragging them over). Is there any way that is faster than this?
Unfortunately the order you placed iPhoto Videos into is not preserved once you drag them into iMovie. It's not really paying attention to iPhoto Albums organization when you copy stuff into iMovie. As for speed and tedious work, you could only just attempt to drag things all at once by clicking one clip in iPhoto Videos, then click ⌘ Command + A keys to "Select All" which highlights everything and drag it all at once into a single event.
Then split the one giant Event itself which avoids having to select anything and drag it into yet another Event.
For example try this:
Go into the single giant Event and skim the clips to the point where you would like to make the split, say betwee 2 clips
Hold down the CTRL key and click right on that point.
Choose Split Event Before Clip
Everything will be divided at that point with a new Event folder created by iMovie.
The Event will be renamed by appending a number "1" at the end so it doesn't duplicate with the original event name
Am I right in saying that:
1. The iPhoto video listing in the event library are just thumbnails pointing at the iPhoto videos that are stored in my iPhoto Library?
That's correct 100%.
2. When I use those clips in a project, it is just a thumbnail in my project (and is pointing to the location in iPhoto)?
Yes, that's correct too.
3. When I drag and drop that iPhoto clip into an iMovie event, I am actually copying the file into my iMovie library. therefore, I have a copy in my iPhoto library and now in my iMovie library. So if I deleted it from iPhoto, a complete file would still be intact in my iMovie library?
Yes that's correct. You can delete the original from the iPhoto Library and you still have the duplicate sitting now in the Event Library under full control by iMovie. Which means you could also through iMovie, safely migrate Events/Projects to an External hard drive you have erased/formatted as Mac OS Extended format. And it will continue to work properly.

Importing clips from iMovie HD to FCE4

Hi. Have read with interest a couple of questions on this same issue, with the advice from Tom Wolsky seemingly being to not mix the two applications and just get stuck in with FCE. However, i'm finding FCE difficult to like/get to grips with. But more importantly, after attending some Apple onetoone sessions, it seems my Canon camcorder might be a little long in the tooth and there may be some tape slippage as I was getting time code errors when trying to import directly to FCE. The fix seemed to be to capture the footage via iMovie and import to FCE using 'show package contents' route. Having now though imported some footage from a second tape, I have some of the clips showing as Offline for some reason. Is the trick to import clips from IMovie as per Tom's suggested route on 9/8/08?

I import video from my camera into iMovie 4, because that is the last version of iMovie, I believe, that was capable of flushing unwanted video off the hard drive, and I can bring an entire tape into iMovie, trim it down for FCE, and then get rid of the unwanted footage. iMovie 6, like Final Cut Express, is a nondestructive editor and can't erase unwanted footage from the hard drive, and as you know, video uses up hard drive space FAST. To get rid of discarded edits, you either have to use iMovie 4 or Final Cut Pro.
iMovie is also much easier to import video into than Final Cut Express, with all the latter's complicated controls. With iMovie, you just plug in your camera, iMovie then says "Camera Connected," and you hit Play and Import. Stone simple. Also, in iMovie you can hear the audio as it comes in, and if I remember right (it's been a while since I did it in FCE), you can't hear your audio tracks as your video imports into FCE. Not a big deal, but an annoyance.
Once the video is in iMovie, then I cut and trim the video to get rid of all substandard/unwanted stuff, and then Empty Trash, which erases the unwanted video off the hard drive, saving mucho space over the course of a project. Otherwise, you're just stuck with the unwanted video, and all it does is fill up your hard drive. Then you export (or "Share," in iMovie parlance) your video from iMove as a QuickTime movie, and drop that QT movie into Final Cut Express's Browser. Then create your FCE project from it.
The only objection I have ever seen to this procedure is people complaining that their QuickTime movie from iMovie has to be rendered in FCE before FCE can use it, and this takes a bit of extra time. Well, that's true, unless you export your video from iMovie in a form that FCE can use natively. Then it doesn't need to be rendered at all--it's just as though you had imported it from the camera directly into FCE. Most people don't know how to set up iMovie to do that.
Here's how I do it: (this is iMovie 4; I assume other versions are the same), Select Share > QuickTime and choose Expert Settings. On the next screen, select Export: Movie to QuickTime Movie, and click the Options button. In the Movie Settings window that this brings up, on the upper (video) part of it, under the Video checkbox, click the Settings button there, and for Compression Type choose DV/DVCPRO-NTSC, and under Compressor Quality, move the slider to Best, and click OK. Under the Sound checkbox, click Settings, and then choose Linear PCM, Stereo, and 48.000 kHz for Sound Settings. Under Render Settings, choose Qualty: Best. Just below that, uncheck the "Prepare for Internet Streaming" box. Then click OK, and the window will go away, and you're ready to export.
Give the video a name, and a place to save to, then click SAVE. The QuickTime movie that results from this can be dropped straight into FCE and requires no rendering; it works just as though you had imported it directly into FCE from your camera.

Ganapati,
Did you try passing the customer_number like -1 or some random high number that does not exist in hz_cust_accounts table in the account_number for party_type='PERSON' in the table oe_customer_info_iface_all?
As I see this check for the first_name||last_name is done only of the customer number is not passed and customer_number is not used any where in the customer creation (if you are using automatic numbering for the customer accounts then you will obviously not passing any value to new_account_number which is used to created).
Give it a try while I keep myself busy with my airport woes here.
Thanks

Importing Sales orders and Invoices thru DTW

Hi every one,
I am facing a unique problem when using DTW to import sales orders and invoices through DTW.
I am using the two templates- Documents and Document Lines. But the imported Invoice or the sales order(In both cases) the dicount field in the row is taking a negetive discount value. Let me elaborate....
1. I am taking a BP which has been alloted a Particular pricelistcode in the BP Master.( say it be Purchase price).
2. Now In the Doc_lines Template I have put the value in the price column- (eg. Rs. 500).
3. Now the itemcode used in the template is already having a masters and the prices are also defined in SAP B1. Say the Purchase price defined for the item is Rs.400
4.When I am importing the order/nvoice then the discount field in the row automatically takes a value of -25%, the unit price has the value Rs.400 and the Total Field shows Rs.500.
( this Implies that the price I have suggested to Import i.e. Rs500 is some how not taken by the system. The system takes the price defined for the BP and then adjusts it with the price suggested by the user during import) So a negetive discount is taken.
On the other hand if the same procedure is followed for an item where the prices are not updated in the master data then there is no such problem. the unit price field reflects the price which is given in yhe template.
please suggest a way to get out of this problem.

Hi Debraj,
Try the following..
In Admin > System init > Document Settings > General Tab ..Calculate the Row total using Unit price ....... leave this unchecked
Also, at the Document_lines template fill the discount column with 0

Suddenly my event library in iMovie 11 is empty. I have tried deleting the plist, importing clips from multiple locations (to see if they show up in the library), re-installing iMovie, and re-installing Mountain Lion. Help??

Suddenly my event library in iMovie 11 is empty. I have tried deleting the plist, importing clips from multiple locations (to see if they show up in the library), re-installing iMovie, and re-installing Mountain Lion.
I was working on a project, when all of a sudden the event library went blank. There are no devices showing in the left column, only "last import" and "aperture videos". There are no video clips in the editing window. I have "Show: All Clips" selected. I've tried "group events by disk".
When I have a Project open, it plays just fine. There are no yellow triangles saying "source clip is missing". Yet, again...nothing is in the event library large editing window. So, it seems the data is still there, but invisible. This is true with all the projects, and all the external devices I've experimented by plugging in to see if their video clips show up in the event library.
I have tried to import new movies, and iMovie responds as normal...looking like it's importing, then "generating thumbnails", then it makes the "ding" signalling that the import is complete...but nothing shows in the event library. I've tried importing movies from the harddrive, from quicktime, and from an external drive.
I have searched the forums, and found many users with a similar, but not the same, problem. For them, it seems the "go to users-library-preferences and delete iMovie plist" has solved their problem. This didn't work for me.
I uninstalled/reinstalled iMovie, I even have re-installed Mountain Lion (from a last-ditch effort suggestion from Apple technician).
HERE'S AN INTERESTING DETAIL: After almost 5 hours on the phone with Apple, I decided to cut my losses and take my project to another Mac I have. I'm working on a project, for work, that is critical that it's completed by tonight (whoops), and all my video is on an external drive. So, I plug in the external drive to Mac #2, open iMovie, and everything is looking fine. I continue importing some files I was converting, through Wondershare, and suddenly (whether or not this has to do with the importing, I'm not sure), the SAME THING happened to Mac #2!!!! I can't believe this.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Have you ever heard of this happening? Could it have to do with the files I'm importing???
I apologize if my language is confusing. Obviously, I'm not an Apple genius-person! I hope I've provided all the information you need.
Mac #1 is a 27" desktop, mid-2012, software up-to-date. Mac #2 is a 24" desktop, about 4 years old, OSX 10.7.5

I'm adding more information:
in Finder, my iMovie folders are all visible and accessible. When I click on a clip from iMovie Events folder, Quicktime opens and plays the clip. ALL my video is not missing - it just isn't showing up in the Event Library!
This happened all of a sudden, while I was working on iMovie project (on both computers).
All my Projects are intact, and play when I open them.

Free Items in Import Purchase Order

Hi All,
How to handle a FOC materials ( No payment to Vendor) in Import PO.
I have an Import Purchase order (FOC items) with all the applicable Duties and i have to pay only the Duties to the Customs and not to Vendor.
How to handle this scenario in SAP????
Regards,
Kumar Rayudu

Dear Kumar,
Free of Cost (FOC) materials can be handled in two ways;
(a) Through PO using Free Items clicking ICON in transaction code ME21N
(b) Through manitaining condition records using transaction code MBN1
Using this, materials can receive free of goods...that means....you can make goods receipt....but not valuated....i mean.....no liability will create.
Hope this information will be useful.
Bye,

Goods receipt importing purchase order

Hi,
I have an addon that has to fill some udf's when a Itemcode is entered in the detail section. This works relativaly ok. But what is the best way to force the filling the udf's when the lines are filled in through the selection of a purchase order.
For the moment I have a routine that fill's all the udf is the screen gets activated and the button purchase order was clicked. This works if the user doesn't click on the good receipt while the wizard for importing purchase order is open.

Hi,
You should use the et_CHOOSE_FROM_LIST event to find out which items have been added / changed in document lines.
See here:

Import Purchase Orders

In the Data Template to import purchase orders for release 9, in the instructions sheet it is given as ''You can use SQL, ODI, or a similar tool to extract data into your staging tables''. So how exactly can we use it for exporting? Also, how to export any kind of data?

Hi Sunil
because you are Purchasing from the vendor that has the currency in USD so the system will purpose USD every time
if you want to see the value in INR then you can check the value while you do the MIRO for Import vendor .
******or you may check the company currency if its is in USD then you can't see it INR at item level, Please check it out first at your material master level in Accounting View -1
Thanks
