Importing .omf and other Avid codecs??

Will FCP direct import / recognize Avid .omf and other Avid codecs? Or, do I just need to have all the footage I'll need exported to something else before import? I just know it would be easier and faster to bring the files into my FCP system directly from the original Avid dig.
Just curious...

No, it does not support OMF import out of the box, but with this add-on, you can do so:

I have followed "Importing favorites and other data from Internet Explorer" but although I've worked through the dtages and it says it has worked, the expected internet explorer folder does not appear in bookmarks

I have installed Firefox today, and like the look of and the speed. But I have an extensive set of foldersin my IE Favorites and remebered passwords I don't want to have to reimput.
I have now tried twice folowing "Importing favorites and other data from Internet Explorer " which seemed to go smoothly, once with IE open and the other with it closed, and closed down my PC between each attempted installation. Any ideas?

It usually works better if you export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
* Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
* Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

Problems Importing LPs and other recorded music to my iMac

Hi All
I am trying to import my vinyl LPs and other music to my iMac using my JVC MIDI System with a record dec attached. The only output connection is for a standard jackplug (headphone) socket, other than the cable connection point for stereo speakers (at the rear of the system). I was sold a standard cable with a jackplug at either end and told that by connecting this to the input side of my Mac it should work. This does not seem to regognise any form of imput from my MIDI system can anybody help please!
Thanks in advance.

Hi Martin
Thanks for your response I have only used this forum once before and wasn't tosure what details where relevant. I am also not sure if I can provide answers to all your questions but will do my best;-
It would help if you tell us the exact make & model of the equipment you are using.
Your Mac? -IMac 11,1
What JVC MIDI system? Unfortunately it is an old system now and I don't appear to have kept the manual. It is a JVC COMPACT COMPONENT MD SYSTEM MX-MD9R R-D-S EON.
What "record dec?" Actually, what do you mean by "record dec" in the first place? Do you mean yourturntable? It is an AIWA PX-E800 turntable which i connect and play through the aux side of the JVC system
Is your JVC MIDI system capable of providing the RIAA EQ for vinyl LP's? dont know
What software are you using on your Mac to do the recordings? ITunes 11.0.2
In general, I wouldn't use a MIDI device for recording analog audio. They weren't intended for that purpose.
Thanks for your help Paul

Importing avis and other videos to Itunes library

I have just changed from a pc to a mac. I had no problems with itunes in the pc but now, if I want itunes to add a video file to my library from the hard drive it insists on automatically importing any new video file and does not give me the chance to choose an individual file.
when I setup itunes on this mac I told it not to automatically look for any new music file etc. and import it but it ignores this. What can I do?

Welcome to mac and the user forum.
With iTunes open under file on the menu bar select *add to library* and navigate to the desired file.
Or, drop the icon of the desired fine on the icon of iTunes located on the dock.

How do import TruePiano and other samples in Garageband to use in my songs?

I'm attempting to use some piano samples from TruePianos.com, as well as other samples I've got, to improve the quality of the sounds I'm recording with. Yet I have no idea how to get Garageband to recognize these sounds and allow me access to them. How do I do this? It must be a very common and basic function, something people do daily. Thanks

I don‘t know if we're talking about the same thing - I assumed you wanted to build a sampler instrument from the raw samples of the individual keys. For that you would need special software, like Polyphontics.
If you have a complete sampler instrument - consisting of the audio samples plus the file that stitches them together - the question is whether it's compatible with GB. I'm not an expert on this. But look at GB's Instrument Library (under HD/Library/Application Support/Garageband): The single samples are in the folder Sampler/Sampler files and are .wav or .aif audio files. The instruments that make use of these files are under Sampler/Sampler Instruments and have the .exs format. The track settings for the instruments (which include the GB effects applied to them are in Track Settings/Software and have the .cst format.
If your instruments come in this format, it might be possible to just put them in the Instrument Library by hand. An installer that does this for you is probably better.

OMF import-How do others deal with stereo tracks?

When importing OMF's from Avid or FCP all stereo audio files come in on separate mono tracks (ie all music tracks will appear as two adjacent mono tracks). When track managing, all stereo audio files need to be moved from the mono tracks and placed on to stereo tracks (for inserting of effects, etc.) prior to editing and mixing.
In another pro audio ap that shall remain nameless, one would simply grab the stereo pair (left and right sides of the audio file) from the adjacent mono tracks and drag them onto a newly created stereo track. This method is extremely fast and is vital when faced with an hour long show (especially when the video editor hands off an OMF to which there is no rhyme or reason which happens more often than not!).
How is this accomplished in Logic?

Rohan Stevenson1 wrote:
aaron, read through this twice before and now about 3 times more. i still don't understand your problem.
i would have prepared tracks prior to importing in logic, or imported them into some kind of template and shifted them around like that. i would use KCs to accomplish most of this. you only need the LH file to play back a split stereo file in stereo.
Hi Rohan,
As a professional post audio mixer, I am given OMF's from either Avid or FCP from the client. I have no control over how the tracks are managed by the video editor prior to my receiving them.
Even if the video editor has track managed the audio appropriately (VO, production audio, FX and music all placed on their own tracks which rarely happens), the files will still come into a DAW on separate adjacent mono tracks.
For example, all of the music in an hour long program will come in with the left side of the stereo file on one mono track and the right side of the audio file on another mono track. This is just how OMF's translate from video aps to DAW's. The OMF cannot be tweaked to operate differently. It is what it is. Obviously any stereo elements need to be placed on stereo tracks for eq, compression and volume automation.
When mixing a show, the first thing that must be done is to 'track manage' all of your elements. Usually VO on one track, production audio split amongst a few tracks, mono and stereo effects on their own tracks and then a couple of stereo tracks for the music.
So let's say I open an OMF. The first thing that must be done is to go through the show, identify all of the stereo elements (most commonly music tracks and FX), grab them from the mono tracks that they came in on and place them on to newly created stereo tracks. In Pro Tools this is a fairly quick process as you are able to grab two mono files and drag them directly on to a new stereo track right in the arrange page.
Every time you open a new OMF you are confronted with hundreds of regions that need to be track managed before you can edit and mix. Deadlines are always tight so a fast and efficient method is a must.
What I am describing is standard practice in a post audio workflow when mixing for television. This is not a pressing issue as the studios I freelance for are all PTHD based. However, I would love to start testing my Logic rig at home to see how it stacks up on big sessions!
Any help or tips would be appreciated.
Thanks

Aperture cannot import anything from iPhoto and other bugs!!

Aperture is buggy. Recently, I just updated Mac OS X to 10.4.5 and also updated iLife 06. Now I cannot import anything from iPhoto. I tried import images from iphoto or import iphoto library, both not working. I can import images from other directories but jut could not see anything display under iphoto library directory. Trying to use import iphoto library, click choose and then nothing happens.
If you create a smart web gallery, all photos will be automatically duplicated.

I used Pacifist.app to find iPhoto in the iLife '06 install package and then installed the app in the default location replacing the bundle that was there.
the normal method gave me an install error.
Thank you to the person who discovered this.
I was going nuts trying. I have 6 iphoto libraries with 30,000 photos in total and some would import fine and others would not. couldn't tell the difference between them and had forgotten the update. just got a new iMac intel and wasn't paying attention. Causality

Difference between importing files and adding files/folders to liabrary?

When I want to bring in new music into my liabrary from my my music folder, I don't know the difference between importing them and adding a file. They both seem to bring up the my music folder and seem to give me the same options?

To quote from the following link:
"When you add something to the library, essentially you are taking existing audio or movie files and adding an entry for each to your iTunes Library index. iTunes adds entries in your iTunes library for the selected files, and copies the files to your iTunes Music folder (if you have that option selected in the Advanced pane of iTunes preferences)."
"The Import menu item allows you to import playlists and other data files into iTunes."

You can install Perian,

although this will be the last version, and Flip4Mac.

Avid codec and CS5

I am eager to make the jump to CS5. One thing I am wondering about is if quicktime codecs need to be 64bit. We have an avid in house so all video to and from the avid is in a quicktime using Avids codec.
Anybody know if this works in 64 bit as it will be a big problem if I cant read/render these quicktime files.

I recommend downloading the trial version and checking for yourself, but I don't see why this wouldn't work.
After Effects CS5 uses a process (Adobe QT32 Server) to make calls to 32-bit QuickTime components. This means that you can use 32-bit QuickTime codecs.
Of course, as I said, you should really check for yourself first, using the trial version.

Avid Users-QuickTime and (Older) AVID QuickTime Codec

Hello everyone. The reason I am posting here regarding this instead of in Avid's own forum (I believe they do have one) is simply because I do not have an account/ID there, and most Avid users are also Mac users.
Anyway, the remaining of our graphic macs in the office will be upgrading to G5s and OS X Tiger soon (finally) and one "old" Avid Symphony (on a Windows NT) is still 'working with us' and the new OS X Avid QuickTime Codecs are unable to read any QuickTime movie exported from the Symphony to the macs.
Right now because we are still using OS 9, an older Avid QuickTime Codec (that only exist in OS 9 platform) enable us to read the movie clip and allow us to render properly in After Effects.
To allow that clip from Symphony to be able to use on a Mac OS X platform, we have to use QuickTime Player (OS 9) to re-export it using the newer Codec into a new movie clip.
After we finished rendering we will use the same method to re-export that clip to "downgrade" the clip to the older codec.
If we all use new G5s, one way is to install OS 9 as Classic in G5, launch it and launch QuickTime Player to do the same - unless in Classic environment this method will not work??
I am just wondering if anyone in this profession has the same "dilemma" the same working situation as us? And how do you solve it?? We can't simply just get rid of the Symphony (we love to... ha ha ha)
Thanks and cheers

I had the same issue and I located the registry key HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Apple Computer, Inc.\Quicktime\LocalUserPreferences
I then substituted the %USERPROFILE% variable for the entire key and copied the preferences file, which I created with an account the had admin privileges, to the root of the mandatory user profile. Now I can run the software as a user using this mandatory profile and the software runs without prompting me to Update the software.

Free Goods Import Process with Customs, Freight, and Other Taxes.

hi,
I have to import free goods but have to pay for Customs, Freight, and other Taxes.
1. If I tick Free Goods Indicator in PO Line Item, Condition Tab at line item disappears. It will not to calculate other conditions at Header level also. - So I cant execute this option.
2. If i take price of material and insert Condition Type: R001:Discount/Quantity with material price/qty, then it gives Error Message - "Price Must be greater than 0".
So, Is there any way through which I can procure Free Goods and can maintain conditions for Customs, Freight, and other Taxes in Purchase Order.
Please help me in this regard.
- Jignesh

Hi,
1) Create an import PO in ME21N with material price and all custom duty conditions (as you normally create). no need to put free tick indicator.
2) Process MIRO for goods and delivery costs simultaneously.
3) Maintain zero amount for goods item and actual values for the duties (Ensure selection of goods item including delivery cost items)
4) Save the LIV document
5) Check PO item history got updated with IR-L and DCIn. (IR-L will updated with zero amount)
6) Do MIGO w.r.t. IR document number.
7) GR FI document will get updated with the non-set off duty values only.

When my husband and I try to share our libraries and import from each others libraries, we get as far as seeing the library on the screen. The next step is to look for the 'Show' menu at the bottom of the screen, but neither of us has any such thing. ?

When my husband and I try to import from each other's libraries, using Home Sharing, we are intructed to look for the "Show" menu at the bottom of the screen. Neither of us has anything like this on our screens. How and where do we locate it? We both have the latest itunes running.
