Importing, exporting multiple times

I have many MPEG clips that I edit and process through "MPEG streamclip" and make them DV files.
I then import them to iMovie to add fades and other effects. Then I export the individual clips at full quality, then import all of them back to iMovie and join them into one long clip. I then export that long clip back at full quality again, and burn them to DVD. Will there be loss of quality, or does it matter how many times I import and export back & forth? You may ask why I complicate things so much. I just want to have each clip saved individually at full quality with it's effects, edits etc.
Maybe somebody can enlighten me on this.
Thanks,
Pablo

Hi
It depends on how You are doing this.
• Copy to miniDV tape Camera - back to new project - minimal loss due to tape quality
• In iMovie HD 6 - You can have several projects open simultaniously and select
clips (even edited on TimeLine) and just click and drop into the new project.
Here there should be NO quality loss at all.
• Any other way - I don't know. (Exporting out as full quality QT.mov file
then importing this back - HAS given me quality reductions - BUT MAY BE I'm
doing it wrongly.

  • Firefox CS5: exporting multiple times?

    Hello,
    I want to export an image via batch or a script several times in different dimensions.
    e.g. the image scaled down to 500x300 px then exported as JPG with specific settings in a specific folder.
    Then in the 2nd step scaled again e.g. to thumbnail size and exported with other JPG settings in a different folder.
    I can produce scripts (suffix: jsf) which can do only the first step OR the second step -- but how can I combine it into one script?
    Or which other solutions are there?
    Thanks!

    With the crashes driving me nuts I decided to give Palemoon a try. I don't know why or what the differences are between FF 5 and Palemoon, but I haven't had a single crash yet with Palemoon and I've been using it for about a week now.

  • LDOMS - virtual disks export mutiple times to different guest domains

    Experts,
    From control domain, can I export one storage LUN to two guest domains?
    ldm add-vdsdev /dev/dsk/c1t5d0s0 disk1@primary-vds0
    ldm add-vdisk disk1 disk1@primary-vds0 ldom1
    Ok
    ldm add-vdsdev /dev/dsk/c1t5d0s0 disk2@primary-vds0
    Gives error. With –f flag it works.
    ldm add-vdisk disk2 disk2@primary-vds0 ldom2
    Is it permitted configuration?

    A virtual disk back end can be exported multiple times either through the same or different virtual disk servers. Each exported instance of the virtual disk back end can then be assigned to either the same or different guest domains.
    When a virtual disk back end is exported multiple times, it should not be exported with the exclusive (excl) option. Specifying the excl option will only allow exporting the back end once. The back end can be safely exported multiple times as a read-only device with the ro option.

  • Import/exporting uncompressed video multiple times

    Hi guys I'm running FCP version 5. I want to use a plugin called NeatVideo to remove grain from my footage however it is not compatible with FCP 5. My friend has FCE 4, which NeatVideo is compatible with.
    The question is, if I export my film from FCP 5 as an uncompressed.mov, import this into FCE, add the plug in, and then export from FCE again uncompressed, and then reimport into FCP once more to get it ready for my final export for DVD SP, will all these imports/exports result in a loss of quality?
    My guess is no since it will be uncompressed? If so how to I prevent any loss of quality? Do I have to set the FCE project settings as uncompressed also?
    I'm kinda new to all this so your help will be much appreciated!
    Thanks. T

    Quick question Jim,
    How do you make a 'file recognition' import to another version of FCP or FCE which is installed on a completely different PowerMac?
    Is it simply exporting it as uncompressed - which the new FCP/FCE will recognize?
    Also when it is imported into the new FCP, will have I have to set the project settings 'Compression' to 'Uncompressed' also to ensure it remains the same quality without further compression?
    Thanks. T

  • How do i export multiple full resolution movie files at the same time in final cut pro 6?

    I've been using Final Cut Pro since version 3 came out, know the program well, have even had jobs consisting of just operating the program.  I'm currently running version 6 because that's the latest one that works on my computer.  Back in verison 3, there used to be an option under Export to export a "Final Cut Pro" movie, which was really a Quicktime movie but appeared with a FCP icon and defaulted to opening in FCP, but the important thing about it is that it was a full resolution copy of the movie with no compression.  Now, that option seems to have been changed to "export Quicktime movie."  In my opinion that change is kind of stupid since it is so much less specific and is even less of an implication that one is exporting a full resolution file.  But in fact you are.
    One also has the option of using Compressor to export a version of a movie, and therein there are so many different options that if you are not confused by it I think there's something wrong with you.  Moreover, it would appear that there is no equivalent of exporting a full resolution version of a file in Compressor.  Fair enough: a full-resolution file involves no compression so is not appropriate for "Compressor."  BUT, suppose you want to export multiple uncompressed, full-resolution movies at once.  When you use Compressor, you are able to create batch lists and export many things at the same time, for instance, lists that will take many hours to complete so you can go to bed and get the results the next day.  But as far as I can tell there is no way to do this at full resolution without compression.  Instead you have to sit at the computer waiting for each one to finish and after each one, manually go to the next and select "export Quicktime movie."  Even if there is a way to do this I would complain that such an obviously desireable thing is so unaccessable.  In fact, the only reason I've typed out my question at such length is because I'm stuck here waiting for each one of my movies to export.
    Anyway, all my complaints aside, anyone know how to do this?

    what you're missing to export multiple files is the batch export command available in the file menu or by control clicking on the items in the browser.  You can export multiple sequences/clips at full resolution with this.
    This has been available in fcp for a long long time.
    Wow, you are right.  Now that you mention it, I can't believe I never noticed that.  Thanks.
    Only if you have the 'Self-Contained' box checked.  Otherwise you'll end up with a reference movie.
    Correct.  That box is typically checked by default.  There are other default settings you could change that would not result in a full-quality version, but what I meant was hitting that option from the pull-down menu, then changing nothing and hitting ok.

  • Can I export multiple folders at the same time, keeping the album structure

    I'm exporting all of my photos from 2010 so far. Is there a way to export multiple folders at the same time, while keeping the existing album structure? It seems that when I try it, iPhoto exports them all to the same folder.
    I really don't want to do this one album at a time, and here's why -
    I'd like to select all of the albums, then export, using the plugin, to WalMart so that I can order prints.

    Check out [iPhotoToDisk|http://www.iphototodisk.com/index.html]
    I'd like to select all of the albums, then export, using the plugin, to WalMart so that I can order prints.
    Why not upload to Walmart from iPhoto? Check out the first option here:
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 and later*
    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.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    (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:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and later* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    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 later:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *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.
    3. *Show File*: 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.

  • Import/export properties of multiple numeric limit steps

    Hello
    I have a question to the property loader and the import/export tool in TestStand 3.5.
    When I want to export the limits of a sequence with multiple numeric steps with the import/export tool, I press the Limits button to include the limits into the 'selected' field of the properties tab. But for the multiple numeric step the limits are included not for all indices but only once with an question mark instead of an index (Result.Measurement[?].Limits.Low, Result.Measurement[?].Limits.High, Result.Measurement[?].Limits.Comp).
    The property loader step acts the same way. 
    What can I do ?
    Thanks
    Olli

    Hi Olli,
    For the multiple numeric limit test, you will need to individually specify which numeric limits you want to export. Lets suppose you have 3 sets of limits for your multiple numeric limit test. If you wanted to export the first set, you would use the syntax
    Step.Result.Measurement[0].Limits.Low
    Step.Result.Measurement[0].Limits.High
    You will need to do this for each set of limits you have in your array. Simply replace the "?" with the index of the element in the array.
    Hope this helps!

  • Unexpected Quits in multiple applications at Save or Import/Export window

    Hello,
    For several months I have Apple and Adobe applications as well as Firefox, randomly quit when bringing up the Save, or Import/Export window. (I have copies of the error logs.)
    I thought I had it fixed since I haven't had any issues for some time after running Disk Utility and Onyx. But, I posted the same issue a couple of months ago and the solution (at the time) was to keep the desktop clean (see "Crashing at Save" by katorama) . So, after I cleaned up my desktop and only had two aliases to my folders I needed, all went very well until now.
    However, what didn't help is that yesterday we had three power outages and my iMac did an auto-restart after each. Since then, the problem returned and nothing seems to fix it.
    I feel like this issue is haunting me! I was a tech for many years and normally can fix the issue. But, I can't seem to figure out the reason behind these crazy unexpected quits. Seems I've run out of tools in my toolbag.
    TROUBLESHOOTING ATTEMPTS:
    – I have run Disk Utility to verify and repair disk and Onyx to clean out caches. After this, it seems to run fine, then a different application will have the same problem.
    – When I create a new user account, there is no response when I double click the hard drive (it does not open) and when testing an application for the quit issue, it happens again.
    – Also, when I restart into Safe Boot the problem appears to stop initially, but can appear intermittently again.
    I suspect it may be a RAM or even a Quartz issue? But, honestly, I have no idea. 
    < h   e   l   p   ! >
    Any suggestions welcome!
    thanks!

    Hi.
    This is about a question you posted to the Firefox Support forum three months ago (I'm sorry you never got an answer).
    Did you ever fix the problem where Firefox freezes or hangs, when clicking a download link or using (File menu) "save as" or "open file"? Or when going to the Firefox (Tools) menu and clicking Options ? Or trying to Import or Export bookmarks?
    I found this thread searching for a solution for someone on MozillaZine's support forum who's having a similar issue. See this thread: (maybe something he's tried that didn't work for him will work for you?)

    You might post this query on the iPhoto forum and perhaps someone there can provide an answer.
    I tried this on my MBP and it seems that you have to restore the entire iPhoto Library.  What I did was put the current library in a separate folder on the desktop and then I restored the library from a prior date.  If you were to do that, you then could extract the desired photos and then delete the restored library.  Then place the current library back to the original location and import the desired photos.
    Not tidy but it seems it will work.

    Hi all,
    I have one very simple doubt. When I import/export any workflow, a message
    gets displayed that w/f is successfully imported/exported. Now say I want to

    Can I know that from any log file ? Is there any feature to know that?
    thanks in advace.

    For the multiple numeric limit test, you will need to individually specify which numeric limits you want to export. Lets suppose you have 3 sets of limits for your multiple numeric limit test. If you wanted to export the first set, you would use the syntax

    You will need to do this for each set of limits you have in your array. Simply replace the "?" with the index of the element in the array.
