Linked files and working with a team

We are using InDesign in a team environment where the INDD files get worked on by several different people. The projects are organized within a single folder
/project/this-project.indd
/project/images_envirnoments/
/project/images_people/
/project/PSD/
etc
Obviously when we move the /project folder to someone else's machine they have to re-link at least once for each folder that contains a set of images. Is there a way to get around this? I searched the forums and found reference to and InDesign Server but can't find it as a product anywhere. Seems odd that there is no solution for collaboration with InDesign? Using latest CC of InDesign in mixed Mac/PC environemnt.

Yeah, I saw this response in the forums when others had asked a similar question. However, those inquiries where a few versions of INDD ago and I thought there might now be a solution. I'll assume there is not.
Not everyone can connect to the server when working remotely. CC doesn't allow you to share project files on their share and DrobBox-like solutions don't have nearly enough space for our projects.

  • Document scanning software that allows for custom search fields, attaching a thumbnail to the scanned document file, and works with any scanner?

    I am a professional photographer, with years of paper model releases. I would like to find a document scanning software that works with my exisiting flatbed scanner (Canon MP250) that I can customize the seach fields for (ie. name, agency, job, etc.) and also attach a thumbnail image to as a job reference. I would like the document to be searchable as well. I've looked at a few different document scanning software companies, but I haven't found one that allows me to attach a jpeg file to a scanned PDF. Does anyone know if software like this exists?

    You can't do better than to use VueScan:

    Can I use InDesign cs6 to open and work with PM6.5 files?

    It should be much easier to re-link in the Pagemaker file, as, with any luck, you can get the filenames from the Graphics Manager.  After conversion to InDesign, any out-of-date linked images get their names converted to something like "image 123.jpg", and are themselves converted to an embedded low res representation of the image.  Even vectored art.  Pretty hard to figure them out, unless you are VERY familiar with the file, which you may be.
    It may be that any cropping gets lost, too?  I do prepress work, we do some set up for our customers, but most comes in pretty much ready to go, so I don't often have to did too deep into fixing such issues. On the other hand, any problem that can happen has probably crossed my desk, or it seems that way some days!

  • Adobe guideline on design documents when working with freelance team members or agencies

    Adobe guideline when working with freelance team members or agencies:
    should the publisher recieve a copy of the documents (Indesign etc) used to publish it's magazine?
    Our client has an ongoing discussion with a freelance designer who was hired to make editions of their interactive magazine.
    The publisher has briefed the designer on their digital magazine and the designer created the folio-files, based on their input (design, pictures, video, audio, texts, etc) and their printed magazine. The publisher is the owner of the copyrights on this material.
    The designer used the software licenses provided by the publisher, but refuses to hand over the Indesign-file after recieving full payment for his design work. Is there a Adobe guideline or 'best practice' I can consult in this matter to help resolve this discussion?
    Thank you.

    Hi Yves,
    I know this case very well and here the publisher has payed for all time spent in and the cost of DPS training. The material is copyrighted and owned by the publisher and he also owns the DPS license.
    To keep your example: this feels like the worker assembling the car wants to keep the car and be payed his hourly wage to assemble it.
    It's not an original work, that is clear to me.

  • How can I get avi files to work with imovie08?

    Hi I bought a macbook last year and have loved creating imovie videos by simply using the video function on my digital camera. My daughter was born last year and we have a great collection of clips of her first 7 months. I'd now like to take things a step further and put together a wedding video.
    We had our wedding day filmed on a digital camcorder by a friend and he has given my 25MB of avi files which I would like to import into imovie and make into a video however I understand that this format isn't compatible. Is there a way of getting it to work and if so please can you tell me in very simple terms what I need to do to get the files to work with imovie? (I'm not very technical)
    Thanks
    Matt

    I do not know of a way to import .avi files directly into iMovie, and I am positive that this is not actually possible as iMovie only supports the importation of .mov, .mp4 (mpeg4) and .dv filetypes.
    What you could do is use a video converter (there are some good ones that are availible free, eg MPEG Streamclip (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html)) to convert those avi movie files to either of the 3 video formats iMovie supports, then import them.
    MPEG Streamclip does sound a little complicated for you but it is the best I have found, any more questions just post them here.

  • Convert .MXF Video files to work with Mac Editing software?

    Hello,
    Many thanks in advance for your attention.
    Trying to find software that will edit .MXF Video Files to work with Mac.
    As the edit is simple, prefer iMovie, but happy if the Conversion software only works with FCExpress (or even FCPro if that is the only alternative).
    1. If it matters, .MXF (Material Exchange Format) Video files came from shooting on a Panasonic 500 P2. Originally downloaded onto a Windows system, using Adobe Premiere.
    2. I just want to see and convert some of the shots I did for my Reel, etc., but I have a Mac.
    3. I have iMovie HD, iMovie 09, and FCExpress (which I don't know how to use that well).
    4. When I attach an External HD with backup files of all the footage shot, they show up named as .MXF files. They appear as VLC files (VLC icon), but the suffix is .MXF.
    5. When I try to play them as VLC files, they won't play. It seems they start to play, but then the VLC software quits.
    6. So I have tried downloading some software on the Internet that Google says converts .MXF files.
    I tried: iSkysoft Video Converter, AVCWare Mac Video Converter, MPEG Streamclip, and a couple others. They all seem to have basically the same conversion setups, but when I click to pick one .MXF file, none of them recognize it. (The file in my Browse window is greyed out).
    7. MoyaVideo Converter for Mac recognizes the .MXF file, but when I hit the "conversion" button - I tried a couple different settings, all it seems to convert is the first frame. Even if the .MXF file says a clip is 123MB or 43 seconds long, etc.
    8. I can't even watch the clip in Preview. Press Play and it is just the first frame.
    9. I have read elsewhere in these forums, some people touting conversion software from a company in Germany - mfxformac. I am fine with paying for conversion software, but $500?
    Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks for your response.
    If this codec can only be read by Final Cut Pro, why do all these companies claim their software can convert .MXF files?

    It does not work that way.  You need to download and install the software to use it.
    So download the creative cloud desktop application install it. Open it and sign in to your Adobe user id with the subscription and install Photoshop.

  • Greetings, I am working in Final Cut Pro 7. In the timeline some clips show as offline. I tried going to sequence and reconnecting to media but it does not work. I can still see the video in the timeline and work with it. It just has the red box.

    If the clips are not actually missing, you could try to refresh the timeline by using cmd-0 and then going to the timeline options tab. Then select name only where it says "thumbnail display". Press ok to accept the change, then repeat the process to add thumbnails back to your timeline.
