Is there a smart way to convert People annotations in iView to Keywords in Lightroom?

I have annotated several thousand pictures in iView using "People".
I can see this in PS or Bridge if I use File Info. But i have to look in the Advanced section of the XMP reader.
As I have started to use Lightroom I would like to transform the "People"-annotations in iView to IPTC Keywords.
I suppose the best would have been if I had thought of this before I started to use Lightroom. Then I could have searched for all photos in iView that had a certain name and then add a key word with the name and export the key words (syncronizing annotations). And then import the pictures in Lightroom. But I didn't. So if I import metadata from files now I will destroy the ones I added in Lightroom.
Does anyone have a good idea on what to do?

I purposely don't use People or other on-standard fields in iView because of confusion with other software. I think there's a script in iView that will allow you to move the contents of one field to another (people to keywords). You'd then have to re-synch them.
I wish I paid close attention to meta data 5 or 6 years ago!

Is there an easy way to convert from a String with a comma, ie. 1,000.00 to a float or a double?
thanks,

Like DrClap said: DecimalFormat. However, make sure you understand the Locale things, as explained at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/text/DecimalFormat.html (which refers to NumberFormat as well) and use them explicitly. Like
public class FormatTest
public static void main(String args[])
    try
      // see NumberFormat.getInstance()
      DecimalFormat fmt = new DecimalFormat();
      Number num = fmt.parse("1,000.01");
      System.out.println(num.doubleValue());
    catch(ParseException pe)
      System.out.println(pe);
}most likely seems OK on your system, but may print "1.0" (or even fail) on some non-English platforms!

I have tried to convert the pdf to Word instead but same difficulty with numbers: look like numbers but not usable for calculations

Excel has a 'text to numbers' function, I would use that.

There is NO WAY to convert .jar to .sis... read here.

I have seen a post here:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=709899&tstart=0
I just want you to know, that it is NOT possible to convert .jar to .sis file.
.jar file - designed for Java (J2ME)
.sis file - designed for EPOC (Symbian)
There is no way to convert either of them, at least for now.
So stop asking for the program (in the above post), and stop giving your email address.

Is there a quick way to convert Albums to Projects?

Due to bringing in legacy organizing from iView MediaPro into Aperture years ago... I have an organizational structure consisting of few top level Projects containing many Albums. I now realize I should have few top level Folders containing many Projects (which contain Albums when necessary).
So the question is... is there a quick way to convert an Album to a Project? If I have to create a new Project for each Album I have by hand... this will take forever as I have hundreds of Albums.
Thanks!

Doing it manually is what I'm trying to avoid... I have a LOT of albums. I started trying to script it but I am trying to piece it together with my uber limited applescript knowledge... here's what I've got:
tell application "Aperture 3"
set imgSel to (get selection)
if imgSel is {} then
error "Please select an image."
else
set pName to name of parent of item 1 of imgSel
set pID to id of parent of item 1 of imgSel
set cID to id of parent of parent of item 1 of imgSel
tell library "Aperture Library"
make new project with properties {name:pName}
repeat with i from 1 to count of imgSel
move item i of imgSel to project (pName)
end repeat
end tell
end if
end tell
It's ghetto (there's some stuff I need to comment out that wasn't used) and it seemed to work in the test library I setup, but when I went back there were some weird thumbnail issues so I'm scared... not to mention it doesn't seem to work in the actual library for some reason. It won't create the new project. Weird.

Using Muse, I was wondering if there is a way to convert a website that is already built into a mobile website.

Using Muse, I was wondering if there is a way to convert a website that is already built into a mobile website. I have no idea how the website was originally built. My client is asking me to build a mobile site for his current site without touching his desktop site. His site was originally built in Dreamweaver I think but he have no way of finding the files and lost contact with his original designer. We don't want to start a new site from scratch with a new domain because he is afraid of losing his seo work.
In other words. My client site was build in Dreamweaver or something else. I am not a programer and was going to use muse to make his mobile site. So the question is how do I link a muse made mobile site to his desktop site?
Thank you.

as62467 We appreciate your G3 question! Let's see how we can help. What you are able to adjust is the USB connection mode by going to the home screen and selecting'recent apps' (in the touch keys bar), settings,storage, the menu (the 3 tiny dots) and tap usb pc connection. If you do not want the software to try and install choose either the internet connection or camera option. Let us know if this helps.

Is there an easy way to convert original images to b&w ?

I have a canon 5d mark II and when I decide to shoot b&w pics, this is what i do : I set my camera to b&w and shoot raw+jpeg. raw files come out in color all the time but jpegs show up in b&w when i import them . I decided to do so as it is very time consuming to convert the original images to b&w one by one.
Is there an easy way to do it?? Any suggestions?

Little known hint well worth knowing:
If you use the menu selection "Photos→Add Adjustment" or "Photos→Add Adjustment Preset", the operation is done to all selected images.
In addition to what Frank says, you could also apply a B&W Adjustment Preset when the files are imported. These adjustments are like any others -- they can be toggled on and off, removed, and adjusted with the settings in the Bricks used.
For grayscale, it is well worth the time exploring the included Presets and the slider controls. Afaik, sophisticated grayscale photographers optimize their images in color prior to converting to grayscale.
JPG is 8-bit and lossy. RAW is (up to) 16-bit and unconverted (no loss of data, but "lossless" isn't quite right). If the JPG conversion and quality suffices, there is little reason to shoot RAW+JPEG.
In essence, you can use the in-camera-created grayscale JPGs, with their fixed and baked-in conversion settings, or you can use Aperture's broad (and time-consuming) grayscale controls. If you do the latter, and settle on a conversion that works for your camera and subject(s), save it as an Adjustment Preset and use it.

Is there an easy way to convert and import MTS files from a external hardrive so that I can edit them in FCP?

I am trying to convert game footage that is in MTS format to something that I can edit into a quick highlights video. I have final cut express and the standard IMovie '09. looking for easiest solution, everything seems to involve using one application to convert to Quicktime and then dropping file into Iphoto etc. is there an easy way?

I'm not completely sure that MPEG Streamclip can convert AVCHD footage (.mts files). If MPEG Streamclip doesn't do the job, then get a copy of Clipwrap, which was designed for transcoding .mts files to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec (that's the format/codec you need to convert the .mts files to for use in FCE).

Is there a fast way to convert mp3 to mp4?

Got a large library of audiobooks in itunes that are in mp3 format. I want to convert them to mp4. Join Together by Doug Adams does a great job of this but is sloooow (appears that Quicktime is running in single step mode.) Is there a faster way to make the conversion? What are the best sample rates and data rate for a fast conversion?
Thanks for any suggestions.

You still haven't talked about the reason for converting, other than easier to use. I can read between the lines and guess that you are copying the files to some special device that doesn't like MP3,but no idea what it is or why MP3 doesn't work with it. Also, are you settled on using AAC format? I think it is a more advanced format intended to replace MP3 (Haha... sorry, just thinking about how long these PC guys took to give up on Windows XP-- they will fight much harder before giving up MP3 and AVI),
Try Max for conversions. It has a batch feature (drag a dozen files to the window and click the Convert icon). Here is the comparison I got:
Using iTunes to convert a 3:02 length song, 192 kbps, 4.2MB MP3 to AAC 128 kbps, 2.8 MB, the conversion time is 59 seconds.
Using Max (free) to convert the same MP3 to the same setting of AAC 128 kbps, 2.9 MB, the conversion time is 37 seconds.

Is there an easier way to convert files from Windows Media Player to iTunes

I have many gb's of music in my Windows Media Player...now that I have an ipod I want to move the music over. Do I really have to do this one file at a time or is there away to move over whole albums at once? Is there a way to transfer the entire library at once? Do I have to reload ALL of those CD's? PLEASE HELP !!!!

Maybe you can help me out too. I have copied over 250 gigs of music in WAV loss less files to windows media player. On media player I see the artist, album etc. However, when I add the file, either as the song or whole album only the track number and song title copy to the itunes. How do I get all the other information like genre, album title, artist. If I convert to applelossless I still do not get anything and when I search AppleSTore for album art nothing happens. Please help.

I have lots of beta monkey drum loops in WAV format, is there an easy way to convert format for garageband use?

to convert all these files for garageband use (apple loops)

You will have to convert them to proper Apple Loops - add tags for key and tempo, category.
One way to do this would be to use GarageBand to add the wav files to the Loop Library one by one:
Find out the tempo and the key (if applicable) of one of your loops.
Set the key and tempo for your project.
Import a loop to a real instrument track and name the track, select the loop and use the command "Edit > Add to loop library". Set all the tags correctly, so the loopp will be properly indexed.
There used to be a SoundTrack Loop Utility, but I am not sure if it is still available somewhere. My old links don't work anymore.

Is there an easy way to convert a long string into an array?

I can convert a long string into a 1-d array by parsing and using build array, but I would like to know if there is a function to make this easier.
For example:
from/   aaaaaaaabbbbbbbbccccccccdddddddd         (string of ascii)
to/       an array that is 1-d with each element having eight characters
          aaaaaaaa
          bbbbbbbb
          cccccccc
          dddddddd
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try something like this:
(If you can guarantee that the string length is an integer multiple of 8, you an drop the two triangular modes in the upper left. )

16x9 - Nest and distort or is there a better way to convert?

I'm trying to figure out the best way (quality wise) to burn 16x9 footage to DVD.
I nested my final sequence in FCP, distorted it (-33.3), rendered it, exported it out of FCP via Compressor, authored it in DVD Studio Pro and burned it.
Is another process in Compressor or DVD Studio Pro that would let me letterbox the footage so that when the DVD is burned it plays back with the black bars?

What is the source of you "16x9" footage? Is it HD, or anamorphic DV, or some variation to produce widescreen? The fact that you had to distort it (-33.3) suggests that it is an anamorphic source that you are placing into a 4:3 sequence. My question would then be does it have to be a 4:3 non-anamorphic sequence? If your playback system support anamorphic video then why don't you process it as anamorphic 16:9 (full frame 720 x 480 for NTSC).
Otherwise (standard 4:3), I think you are stuck with doing a letterbox and what you've done is probably as good a solution as any.<small><hr width="75%"><small>If this suggestion helps in any way, a confirmation or acknowledgment would be appreciated, since that would also help others who may be having the same difficulty.
