Importing .aaf file that links to .m2t file

Hi, I've been asked to do some sound editing for a video that was edited in Vegas. The video editor is able to export a .aaf file which I know STP will read. However, the video was done in HDV and the audio/video files that the .aaf file refers to are .m2t files.
STP seems to barf on those files, because when I try to import the .aaf, it says it can't find the .aaf file. So, I show it the path to the file, and then is says again that it can't find it. I take this to be a poorly designed alternative to a dialog box that says, "File format not supported."
Regardless, after doing some quick online research, I learned that .m2t files aren't natively supported by FCP, and I'm guessing that's why it's not supported by STP, too.
Does anyone have advice on a workflow that would work for this scenarios? Unfortunately, each video clip was imported to the Sony Vegas computer as a separate file. So the video project consists of literally hundreds of little .m2t files.
Any advice?
Cheers,
Todd.

That is definitely true. So I could convert the 100 .m2t files into 100 QT files. but what do I do about the fact that the .aaf file still references the .m2t files?

    Do you have a backup of your iPhone?   If so, do a restore and whatever Notes were backed up should reappear.
    You will lose any changes made since that backup though.

  • Aperture 3.1.2 When exporting files to Finder is creating a folder for each file, that means export 200 files is creating 200 folders for each files. Does anyone knows how to fix this. Thanks

    Aperture 3.1.2 When exporting files to Finder is creating a folder for each file, that means export 200 files is creating 200 folders for each files. Does anyone knows how to fix this. Thanks

    No. This is NOT true. I've been battling with this for a couple hours.
    I choose Export>Versions
    choose
    Subfolder Format: Project Name
    no custom subfolder
    Name Format: Current Version Name.
    Aperture creates project folders for each image and names them Projects1, Projects2, Projects3 etc.
    To be sure, I have no project named Projects
    x
    This particular Aperture library has 16 projects. you can see in the screen grab it's created more than 30 folders
    If I uncheck the Subfolder, that is say NONE, I just get images and images and images, not in their project folders (of course, because I've said NONE, so why would it put them in project folders?)
    I just want to export the entire library and have the versions placed in folders named by the projects from which they came.... ez enough, no?

  • Create HTML that links 100 PDF files in a folder

    I would like to publish my wife's recipes on our website, hoping she can then have access from the iPhone. I have about a 100 and really don't want to use iWeb to create 100 hyperlinks to a file, especially since she is continuously adding recipes.
    Does anyone have a hint that could help generate such a page?

    Does anyone have a hint that could help generate such a page?
    Try AppleScript, it's easier than you think. Here is a short script:
    -- start script
    on run
        tell application "Finder"
            -- ask for folder contains PDFs
            set recipesFolder to choose folder with prompt "Please select the folder that contains recipe PDFs"
            -- get all files name
            set recipeFileNames to name of every file in recipesFolder whose name extension is "pdf"
            -- convert folder path to POSIX so can be used with Unix command
            set posixFolderPath to POSIX path of recipesFolder
        end tell
        set DOCTYPE to "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd\"><html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\"><head><title>My Recipes</title></head><body>"
        set closeTags to "</body></html>"
        -- write DOCTYPE
        do shell script "/bin/echo " & quoted form of DOCTYPE & " > " & quoted form of (posixFolderPath & "My Recipes.html")
        -- write page title
        do shell script "/bin/echo " & quoted form of "<br/>My Recipes<br/><br/>" & " >> " & quoted form of (posixFolderPath & "My Recipes.html")
        repeat with recipeFileName in recipeFileNames
            -- write recipes entries
            do shell script "/bin/echo '<li><a href=\"" & recipeFileName & "\">" & recipeFileName & "</a><br/>'" & " >> " & quoted form of (posixFolderPath & "My Recipes.html")
        end repeat
        -- write close tags
        do shell script "/bin/echo " & quoted form of closeTags & " >> " & quoted form of (posixFolderPath & "My Recipes.html")
    end run
    -- end script
    Launch Script Editor, it can be found in /Application/AppleScript/ folder, copy& paste the script, I added comments above each line. You can run the script from Script Editor or save it as an application (File menu --> Save as..). Run the script, it'll do the following:
    1) prompt you to locate the folder which contains the PDFs
    2) make 'My Recipes.html' file in the same folder, that way you can upload the whole folder to you host.
    Be sure you *do not* have any file with the name 'My Recipes.html'.
    *If you're unsure of anything post back or make back up your important stuff (aka everthing you home folder).*
    Now, the script generates a very raw page with a list of PDF files and links to them.
    But potentially, AppleScript can generate html page with different catagories... such as: vegan, veggies or carnivore dishes... or French, Thai or Indonesian dishes... etc, etc... great for searching!
    But, you need to add those key words in the PDF file's Spotlight Comments (in Finder select an item, then hit command+i, you'll see comments field at the top on info pane).
    Spotlight Comments is meta data for Finder to find things (data base indexing).
    Lastly, you can automate all these by using AppleScript's Folder Action

  • How to call Fortran .dll file that using other library files?

    Hi,
    I am trying to do some arkward tasks using LabView, and I am desperately need help....
     A little bit background:
    1. My co-worker has some code written in Fortran, where he called other libraries (many from CERNLAB or PAW). Those stuffs are pretty powerful in mathmatical calculation and simulations.
    2. In some of my LabView code, I need to call his Fortran source code in order to do some complicated calculations. I have no capablility to translate his Fortran code to Labview (or is it even possible??), so we end up with trying to use "Call library function node" where I just provide input/outputs to communicate with his code. The idea sounds simple enough?
    3. We complie the Fortran code into .dll, and then specifiy the dll in "Call library function node". The first try with a very simple Fortran code, something like c = a+b*a, was sucessful. The dll file and Call lib function worked good. It's sort of proved the concept.
    4. Now I am trying more complicated Fortran code (say Test.dll), which calling other library (.lib files) that using typical "call xxx(a,b,c)" line, and my nightmare started....  It seems nothing was excuted when I call Test.dll in LabView.
    Questions:
    1. How do LabView know if the Test.dll code needs functions from other .lib files? Do I need to copy all the .lib files to a specific folder?
    2. When I create .dll file, for LabView to be able to use it, are there any special requirement on the way the .dll is compiled?
    3. Seems there is mismatch btw the data type in Fortran and LabView. For example, LabView's  Signed 8-bit Integer seems different with a integer in Fortran. How can i know the correlation btw data type in different langurage, i.e. LabView vs Fortran?
    4. Are there any good examples that I can take a look?
    I would highly appreicate any suggestions/helps!
    Rgds,
    Harry

    You are aware that Intel Visual Fortran is the successor to Compaq Visual Fortran (I think you made a mistype with the Virtual)? So an upgrade might be at its place.
    Anyhow I'm really not familiar with Fortran at all, but lib files are usually compiled into an EXE or DLL and not loaded dynamically. 1) 
    So there should be no problem with locating those libs. What most likely is a problem are other DLL dependencies such as any Fortran Runtime library or possibly other third party DLLs the more advanced code in your DLL might be using.
    Typically most compilers can be configured to link the runtime library code statically into the DLL, as altenbach reports for the Intel compiler, otherwise you must make sure to install the  redistributable Fortran Runtime Library for your compiler. Besides that you must make sure to find out what other runtime dependencies your code might have and install them.
    1) One exception I know of is LabWindows CVI which allows to also load lib files dynamically. This is supposedly a legacy feature from LabWindows for DOS, which allowed that feature to simulate dynamic module loading in order to swap modules at runtime to work around the 640k memory limitation of DOS.

  • Different captivate files that runs like ONE file?

    Hi
    I am working in a project that is releasing new software.
    We have been working on alot of captivate files and some of the slides contain the same stuff.
    And when the developers is changing some of the contains - we have to go throu 10 different captivate files to change 2 or 3 slides.
    So I have one question
    Is there a way to make several captivate files and link it together so that some of the stuff that is simular in the different captivate files run seamlessly? like it was just one captivate file???

    We are using Captivate 7
    Ok.. so we have to make the changes to every Capitvate file...
    Let say I want to make 4 different captivate files - and the software is not yet finished... and the part that I expect not to be finished is the middle captivate file... and then I just update that one... and all my 4 captivate files are updated...

  • Importing into Premiere Sizing Error? m2t files

    I recorded a 3 camera HD shoot using Canon XHA1s' with firewire to 2 iMacs and one MacBook Pro ... all through OnLocation. I had previously tested all 3 machines to make sure they could handle the load, etc. The cameras were all set up to shoot in the exact same settings.
    This morning I have been importing the m2t footage into my editing machine, a nice Mac Pro, through Premiere Pro. The clips that come from the MacBook Pro are giving me an error (the iMacs were fine). "File video dimensions (width/height) too large." When I look at the footage in OnLocation it's telling me that they are 1440x1080 and I have the Premiere project set for HDV 1080i30 -- which is what we shot at. Again, the other footage (from the iMacs) is importing fine, no problem.
    Does anyone have any experience with this problem? Any idea what has gone wrong or what I can do to fix it?
    We did backup on tape, but I would hate to have to use the compressed footage from the tapes alongside the uncompressed footage OR have to take everything back to our tape backups.
    And please do let me know if more information about our setup would be helpful. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    As John says, matching your project settings to your video is vital to a successful editing experience. If you've got a match, you will NOT see red lines above your clips when you add them to your timeline. Is that the case in your project?
    Also, AVCHD video often requires at least a quad core or i7 processor with a good load of RAM to edit. If you don't have a powerful, well-tuned system, it could well be that the skipping you're seeing is just your computer unable to process the video data fast enought.
    How fast is your processor and how much RAM do you have? What OS are you running?

  • After upgrading to Firefox 11.0, clicks that link to a file do not report in the history and do not show up as visited.

    Installed Beta 12.0 to no resolution. This same issue is happening on my other computer running 11.0. Checked in MS Explorer and links work normally.
    Here's an example link:
    file:///Z:/shared_cvo_docs/cust_inventory.xlsx
    This link opens a excel spreadsheet file from my system. I have many of these types of links and I find it very helpful when I use the browser to open these as I can see which ones I've already opened. Without the links changing color, this becomes very difficult.
    Running Win 7 Ultimate
    Thanks for your help!

    My history shows local .html files displayed in the browser, but not local files handed off to an external program. Is that the pattern you see as well?
    No idea whether this was an intentional change (I don't see it on the Firefox 11 change list: [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/11.0/releasenotes/buglist.html].)

  • Finding missing files that are a different file type?

    I had several folders of jpegs that i converted to dng with lightroom.  I lost the dng files and now i only have the original jpegs.  when i introduce them back to lightroom it no longer recognizes them because of the different file type.  When i "find" and individul file it works and the missing dng is replaced with the jpeg.
    The find nearby files option does not work and finding thousands of files individually is just not going to work.  I don't want to reimport because i will lose all the work i have done to these files.
    Any ideas?  Maybe I should wait for 3.0?
    thanks,
    Braden

    ... the dng converter wont convert a jpeg to dng only camera raw files...
    Didn't know about that.
    In this case, you can use Lightroom to convert to DNG:
    Start a fresh catalog.
    Import all your JPEGs.
    Use the Convert to DNG command in Library module to convert all JPEGs at once. It will place the new DNGs in the same catalog as the source JPEGs.
    Open the original catalog where the DNGs are missing — the old catalog should be fine finding the newly created DNGs now.
    You can now trash the "new" catalog.

  • How to delete all "files that cannot be found" files faster! Desperate!!

    Hey!! So for the past year and a half, i have had hundreds and hundreds of songs that read "----- file cannot be found--" due to me listening to cd's through itunes, without properly importing them. The result was every song file was saved without the song! So now after i imported the CD's correctly, i have quite a few duplicates of hundreds of songs, and the only way i find out which song is the duplicate is by manually trying to play the individual song. I wish to DELETE all the BLANK songs whether they be duplicates or just single files. I was just tolerating it all this time, but now that i ordered my itouch, i need to consolidate my library! Please help, thanks!!
    PS: I saw other threads where people wanted to delete duplicate songs, but i didn't know if the programs that where reccomended to them deleted a random duplicate, because if that is the case, it could delete the good copy of the song, where i would want it to delete the blank copy. Thanks again.

    Here is a script to find dead tracks.
    Rename it to FindDeadTracks.js
    Run iTunes.
    While iTunes is running, double click FindDeadTracks.js to run the script.
    http://ottodestruct.com/itunes/FindDeadTracks.txt
    You can look at the resulting Notepad document it creates, if you like, to make sure it found files you were expecting.
    Then to get rid of those tracks, download this: http://ottodestruct.com/iTunes/RemoveDeadTracks.txt
    Rename it to RemoveDeadTracks.js.
    Run iTunes.
    While iTunes is running, double click RemoveDeadTracks.js to run the script. It'll remove all the exclamation marked tracks.
    For the duplicate tracks, you pretty much need to look at those on a case-by-case basis.

  • Where's the file that stores the Recent Files list? (Mac OS)

    I closed a document yesterday that I had finished after saving a PDF from a saved AI file. When I went to "Open Recent File" and selected either the AI or the PDF, it says the file cannot be found.
    I would like to take a look at the path of where Illustrator thinks the file should be so I can narrow down why the file is missing.
    I've looked in /Users/(me)/Library/Preferences and haven't found anything.
    Thank you!

    I doubt this *.plist file will be any use to you… Why don't you go outside the app and use spotlight…?

    Hi Guys,
    I am a l2 remote desktop support analyst and had a user who was saving pdf files using adobe reader 6.
    When the user saved the files and went back into them he noticed that they were saving as a 08 file and could no longer open them in Adobe 6.
    My question is, is there any way to open these files again and also what causes this issue?

  • Question about having a master sql scrpit/file that calls other sql files

    I know that in SQL Plus, the following works:
    master.sql:
    @script1.sql
    @script2.sql
    @scriptn.sql
    My problem is, I'm using the sql maven plugin and the jdbc driver doesn't seem to like the @script.sql syntax. So the question is two-fold. Is it possible to get this master script behavior using the jdbc driver and not SQL Plus. Second, is the @script.sql syntax, specific to SQL Plus?
    Thanks!
    Justin

    The @<<script>> syntax is specific to SQL*Plus. I'm not familiar with the "sql maven plugin", so I have no idea whether it has some analogous syntax for calling scripts in other files or not. The JDBC API works just with SQL statements, not scripts, so whatever application (I'm guessing SQL Maven?) that is using the JDBC driver has to interpret the @<<script>> syntax.
