Linking different projects

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my Adobe Captivate 7 project. It used to be one big e-learning, but now I broke it into different smaller modules.
Module A - Welcome: this module is a navigation page. User can choose to enter a specific module. Clicking on a button -> 'on succes': open another project.
Module B - D: the different content modules with at the end, again 2 options -> go to the next module or open the welcome module
When publishing I got the alert saying that all my files should be located in the same folder. And I guess this is where my problem can be found....I cannot save the projects in the same folder, because all the subfolders (which are automatically generated when publishing) standard have the same name...
SO, in brief my question is:how can I link different modules without using an LMS ??
PS: I published the modules as Html files.
Thx for the help !

Please do not double-post issues. It is viewed as being very impolite.

Captivate 7 - link different project

You should DEFINITELY publish each project to be in a separate folder, otherwise you can encounter lots of conflicts with files that may share the same name but be applicable only to a different project.
You should be able to use the Project End option to call the HTM file of another project, but you will need to ensure the link is correctly formatted as a Relative Link so that you the links will still work correctly no matter where you copy the files. This process is known as Daisy Chaining. However, you will need to ensure the content is served from a web server over HTTP and not from a LAN server. On LAN servers or local drives (CD ROM drives too) daisy chained links will not work unless every end user configures their Flash Global Security settings to trust the publish folder location containing all of the files.

Dynamic link confusing two separate AE compositions in PPro from different projects

I am using CS5 Master Collection for Windows 7 (64 bit) on an HP Pro desktop (Intel core 2 duo, 6Gb RAM). The tower has two hard drives installed (no RAID). CS5 is installed on the original C drive along with the OS, but the working files, footage etc are all on the larger, secondary F drive.
I am working on a DVD project consisting of several seperate PPro projects. Each project has been colour corrected in AE using dynamic linking. Recently two of my projects suddenly became mixed up, by which I mean the video (not the audio) from one AE composition in one project has taken the place of another in another project. The clip remains the same length, but the link apears to be referencing the wrong clip during playback. Interestingly, there are two clips on the track above the affected clip that fade out and in at either end, during the dissolves between clips, the correct footage plays. It is only when the clip plays by itself that the problem occurs. The next clip also has the same error, though the problem only occurs for half the clip and then suddenly corrects itself. Just to be clear, All clips have been rendered, there are no more than two video tracks on the sequence, and I have tried replacing the composition from the asset menu (in which the clip plays back correctly), but the problem remains in the sequence.
I hope that descrition is clear enough. My guess is some kind of file path error in the dynamic link, perhaps due to the separate hard drive. But I really wouldn't know. I'm very pressed for time right now and I'd prefer not to go against workflow and re-edit a new composition in AE, I would also like to understand what is going on in case it happens again.
Any help with ths problem would be appreciated,
J

Thanks Colin, I tried what you suggested with both the AE Project that it should be referencing and the AE project it is erroneously referencing but both failed to fix the issue. Its as if a hidden clip were laid over the top of the one I want to play. Frustrating.

It's not the comps that are the problem; it's the project file names themselves. You can have all the comps in a project named the same thing, and it'll be fine, but naming projects incrementally is an issue. After Effects includes a versioning function (Save and Increment) that will create a new AE project file with a serial number, e.g. AE Project 01, AE Project 02, etc. This is all well and good if you're just working in After Effects, but Dynamic Link gets confused and will usually start looking at the later project file for comps. That will just create a big mess, as you've found. Changing the names of the project files won't help things relink automatically properly, but it can help you fix things. Make all your DL AE comps offline in your Pr projects, and name your AE projects in a manner that is not serial (give them more random names). Select your offline AE comps, and right-click > Link Media, and point to the new AE project. Things should link up correctly then--but if they don't, you'll just have to remove all the AE comps from your Pr project, reimport the comps from the newly-named AE project, and replace them. It's a pain but it'll probably just keep getting worse if you don't.

Redistributing Large Amounts of Media to Different Project Files

Hello
I'm working on a WWI documentary that requires an extremely large amount of Media. I was just wondering, if (besides exporting hundreds of QT files), perhaps just capturing all of this media, (spread out), into several FCP Project Files?
In the screen shot below, note that there are 2 FCP projects open at one time. Why? Because I thought it might help re-distrtibuting all the captured media into more than just one FCP Project file. Is this advisable? Would creating more FCP files containing more and media actually be better than capturing soooo many captured archival clips into just one main FCP Project file?
Or
Should I be exporting 'Non-Self Contained' files to be re-imported back into the Project?
Screen Shot;
http://www.locationstudio.net/Redistribute-1.jpg
Thanx
Mike

It is absolutely advisable. This keeps project sizes down to manageable levels. This is one of the tips I give in my tutorial DVD on Getting Organized with Final Cut Pro.
Bear in mind, that if your footage and sequences are in different projects, you cannot match back to the clip in the Browser. Once a clip is cut into a sequence that resides in a different project, the link from that media and the original clip in it's original project is broken. That can be a pain, so I try not to break up projects unless I have to. And LARGE projects I find that I have to.
ALthough it can still be a pain. When you need to find the footage that you know is in the same bin as that clip...and you don't know what that bin is? Sorry...match back doesn't work. So, just a caviat.

Setting Scratch discs for 3 different projects -- HELP

I have a new mac book pro and I am going to use it for some mobile editing.
I have some scratch files from my imac that apparently didnt migrate to the new ext HD that I copied everything to so I am having difficulty finding the media files "media offline" and I cant find it in the scratch folders.
I think I might have trashed it because it was in a wrong folder or mislabled one...... so here is what I need to know.
on the EXT HD that I am capturing to:
Do I need to set up a scracth "FOLDER" for every different project or just allow all projects to save under the scratch folders that set themselves up after choosing that disc?
I was setting the scratch folders to different folders on the EXT HD trying to keep them separate but I think -----I need to reset after I open up each project to do any editing correct? If not the project i am working on will save under the last project setting ... right?
thanks
any info or links to how to best workflow this would be appreciated.
tim

When you initially set up a Scratch Folder, Final Cut creates a folder labeled "Capture Scratch", then a sub-folder inside with the name of your project. As you create new projects, a new sub-folder will be created with the new names of your project.
In my workplace, because we're Xsan based, and because of the numerous projects that are worked on, we've developed a slightly different practice. Instead of everyone's media residing within one Capture Scratch folder, we build our own folder/sub-folder structure. For example:
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/19589/Sample%20File%20Structure.png
We use this method to keep all of our projects separated and organized, while it may seem cumbersome, it has worked really well for us.
Hope this helps.

Different Projects, Same Event

I didn't realize it initially, but a few videos were imported into the same event. When I look at the project library, they are shown separately, but is there any way I can export the different projects/events into their own event folders, or am I stuck having them all together?
Thanks!

For two or more machines to access the same media you will need to look into a SAN setup. XSAN, SANmp, Meta SAN. None of these is cheap. The drives need to be Fibrechannel Raids...huge expense.
The cheaper route would be to get another set of drives and clone the footage from one set to another. Copy over everything...and name the new drives the same name, so there is no re-linking issues.

Struts Page Flow Linking - Multiple Projects

Hello all,
I've 2 projects(Project1,Project2) in my workspace(Appliaction1). Each project having it's own struts Pagwe Flow. Each project space represents a particular module of an Appliaction. I would like to know the way to link the struts page flow of all these applications. Say, Project1 is my primary Project space. I want all the remaining page flows to be linked to it. Thanks in Advance.

Thanks for the reply... I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.2. Is it the Same for it too. Or do I've to different to achieve Struts page flow linking between page flow belonging to different projects.

A totally different project is played when project is played in full screen view and project is not editable

Hi
I have problems with my imovie 09. After several days of work with an imovie project I was again about to start editing my project after startup of my mac. I played through the project and everything seemed fine, but when a movie clip was moved infront of a still picture instead of after, the whole project became uneditable and unplayable. When trying to play the project in full screen mode a totally different project is played. Shutting Imovie and/or the mac down does not help. In some cases I have managed to get the red cursor moving along in my project. However, no movie is played in the screen in the right hand corner, -it is totally black, and the audio is again from a totally different project. I am not able to export the project as all the export options are grey. Some of the other projects worked fine and some did not, -and the functionality seemed a bit random from time to time after rebooting/ exiting and reentering imovie. My first guess would be that this is a memory porblem. However, looking at my activity monitor it seems that I'm only using 1.73 GB of system memory of a total of 4....I have tried remove old projects and also quite a bit of clips in my library to minimize memory use. Now it seems that all the rest of the projects are working fine, but my current project is still corrupt. I have tried copying the first clip of my project into a blank project, but it will only play in full screen mode, not in the screen in the right hand corner.
I am working on a mac mini with 2.26 Ghz intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
I would be very grateful if anyone out there could help me out...Is my project totally corrupt beyond the point of no repair? Why has this happened, and how is it possible that something like this can happen without any kind of warning?
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply AppleMan1958. Unforunately the playback problem was only experienced in the project described, - all other projects played fine....and I tried a lot of different ways to do it...so I really believe the whole project, including the playback (which did not work in the editing window in the right hand corner either, -nothing was shown there and the red marker line would not move across the project) just suddenly become totally corrupt...However, after deleting the project as described above and installing imovie11 I have done the whole thing over again and completed the project without problems this time.
But thanks for the tip anyway!

Link between Project and Sales Order

Apart from sales order can we have a link between project and customer master ??
I know that WBS element assignment can be made in sales order but i want to have link between
customer master and project. I don't want any user field or text field in sales order.
Any idea ?
Regards
Ashish

Yes Mr Ashish!
As far as iam concern there is no link between Project & Customer Master, you have to link it with SALES order, I had check in XD03,XD01, the complete customer master, i didnt find any field in customer master which links with Project.
I'll let you know if i find any links.

File not found in Link Between Projects Window - test no edit rights to other file

Hi,
I am doing a test to see if i can create a link by typing the link path (f.i. <>\plan2\1) in the predecessor column without having edit rights to the other plan.
I expect this to be possible as the edit in the other plan (creation of link) is only done after the change is accepted through the LBP (link between projects) window. Besides, when i do it to both my own plans, in this LBP window i get 'create external
link' as difference to accept.
When I do it on Project Server 2010 to a plan I do not own or having edit rights on, I got the message 'file not found'.
Is this message related to what I am trying or does it have another cause?
Does someone know if what I want can be done?
Rgds
Sander

Hi Sander,
I confirm that for creating a link between projects, you need to have access in read-write to both files.
Indeed creating such a link will write in both files information about successors (in the source file) and predecessors (in the destination file).
Note that if you only need to update the successor, you don't need anymore to open in read-write mode the source file, since you won't write any more information in it.
Hope this helps.

Linking different devices with the same Apple ID

I was wondering if there is a way to link different device to connect and push to each other within the same Apple ID. For example I have and iPad 2, iPhone 4 and MacBook Air. While my mom has an iPad, iPhone and uses our Mac desktop. My sister has her own iPod and so does my brother. We all use the same Apple ID to save money and make things easier. Is there any way to connect our own devices. It become inconvenient when games start downloading on my device or inappropriate songs I download go onto my sisters as she is 9. If there is no way to do this, would it be hard to ask for the ability for me (under the same Apple ID as my mom, brother and sister) to set it up so my devices push to each other. Meanwhile my mom could connect her device together? Thank you to anyone who helps in advance.

Up to 5 devices can share the same Apple-ID for iCloud and share / sync happily. You can selectively disable or enable components to sync or not, using the icloud controlpanel on Windows, the system preference pane in Lion or the settings->icloud in iOS5.
You just must ensure that all devices and machines run the compatible versions of OS and apps.
Macs : Lion 10.7.2 + iphoto latest
PCs : Vista / Win7 with Outlook, itunes 10.5 and icloud controlpanel
iDevices: iOS5

Invoking a process in a different project & deployed on same engine

Hi,
I would like to know if we would be able to invoke a process with is already deployed in the engine from a new process. Please note that both the processes would be in different projects but will be deployed on the same engine. Also, we would like to avoid using any polling activity for this purpose and would want the process to get invoked like a process creation activity. Please let me know if anyone has tried this or have any idea for dealing with such situations.
Thanks,
Sree

You can do this using the process interfaces. The steps are.
1.- Create a process interface of the process that you are going to call that is in Project 1, select the process right button and generate process interface.
2.- Export this interface and import in your project (Project 2) that is going to be where you will call the process.
3.- Put a process creation activity that and put as the related process this interface.
In this way when you publish both projects in enterprise the interface is not going to be deployed, it will be deployed the real process and when the call is made it will call the real process of Project 1.
Hope it helps

Can I work on a different project in After Effects while rendering another (AE) project in Media Encoder?

(I'm using the current AE CC 2014)... I've tried twice to start working on a project in After Effects while a DIFFERENT project is rendering in Media Encoder. Both times it (Media Encoder) hung up/crashed. I thought the point of a separate encoder program was so I COULD work on another project in AE at the same time another project was rendering in Media Encoder.
Am I doing something wrong, or do I just have to WAIT for the encoding in Media Encoder to finish before I can do other things in AE?
[I tried searching through help. If I it's there... I just missed it.]
Thanks (in advance) for the help.

You should wait.

Two different projects spliced together over each other some how?

Greetings everyone,
I thought forum users might be interested in this one. I don't use the forum often so I don't know the history but has anybody ever had two different projects spliced together over each other some how? For example, I was tweaking a project and left it alone for several months. I came back today to work on it and clips from other projects were in it some how. Also the audio from the new clips were in the new project and overriding the existing project. Does anybody know how to restore the two and make them separate them without losing any info. from either one? The thing's a mess. I had 1 video track w/ some subtitles, a voice over, and some music in the background. Now it has two video clips, and two of everything else. It's crazy. I don't think it's a virus or anything. Nothing else on my machine is acting strange. I hope nobody else has experienced this yet can help.
Peace

If you have a backup external drive and Time Machine, I would suggest the following:
Locate this specific clip in your Finder. Highlight it and rename it "old", or something similar.
Launch Time Machine.
Go back to a date in time when this clip was as you properly edited it.
Again, make sure Finder is still open and highlight the clip.
Click "restore" in Time Machine.
Open iMovie and you will see your project as you had it all those months ago.
This works for me when I have an iMovie project behaving badly.
iMovie is a great application: but just like us, it has good days and bad days.

How to save open files in different projects/workspaces?

Is it possible at all to have Dreamweaver save different sets of open files in different projects/workspaces like every other IDE out there?
I can't imagine every web developer is working on ONE project at a time and doesn't feel the need to switch to another one and have his last open files restored from that specific project..
Am I missing something?

Very wrong
I am talking about saving different sessions of open files automatically (and assign them to user-defined projects that may or may not contain several sites or just one site).
