Losing Edits?!?... Am I having a Work Flow Problem???

OK, so this is what I am working with...
All Graphic Designers are on Mac OSX Snow Leopard running Adobe InDesign CS5
All Editors/Writers are on PC (various versions of windows?) running Adobe InCopy CS6
We are all working off a server to share these files...
This is our current "work flow", I've created .icmt files for the Editors/Writers to start their content in.
I have also created .indt files for the Graphic Designers to start the layout process.
Once the Editors/Writers have opened a .icmt file and entered the content, they save the file out as .icml files, then notifies the Designers that the content is ready to be placed.
The Designer then opens the .indt file and places the .icml files into the layout (this document usually runs about 16 letter size pages with approximately 30 assignments (.icml files)).
The file is then saved as a .indd file.
Now during the editing process while the designer is still laying out the document, the Editor/Writer opens the .indd file in InCopy and checks out an assignment to start their edits... and on several occasions after spending a good amount of time on edits, they check it back in, but they lose ALL of their edits that they just made??? What are we doing wrong here (sometimes it works, sometime it doesn't)?
If anyone could help me, i'd very much appreciate it.
Thanks!

Hello. I am recently having problems with my
PowerBook. Hope you guys could help out =)...
Firstly, I am having that 'beach ball problem' where
the color beach ball keeps spinning and spinning when
I'm loading applications or even using Safari.
Secondly, I went to Disk Utility and did a 'Verify
Disk Permissions'. My results are as follows:
Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
Volume Header needs minor repair
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
I'm so lost and worried now! My questions is, my hard
disk going to crash or something? I have no backup at
all! Help Help!
PowerBook G4 15-inch Mac OS X
(10.4.3)
Don't know about the beach ball. But the message indicates that the disk is probably OK. However, you cannot repair a disk while the system has it mounted; esp. the startup disk. You have to startup up using another disk; e.g., the install CD/DVD. Then you can run the disk utility and repair your main disk.

Internal order work flow problem

Both WF issues are related to internal orders , Transaction KO03
==========
Example for 1 st case
consider A , 1 , 2, 3 , 4 are approvers
A --->>>> 1) , 2) , 3) , 4)
if A doesnt approved in 3 days , then it go to 1 , 2, 3, 4
after 3 days , any one of them 1, 2 ,3 , 4 can approve it
3 days passes , but before any one of them approve , its already approved by A
all of 1, 2 , 3, 4 have mail in their inbox for approval , but
here work flow is completed , what work flow is supposed to do , it does
, but in status error is coming .
why this is error is coming , even when workflow completed and workflow does its job
==========
Second problem
one user X have approved , after its approval status should change to approved ,
but it is not changing and it is showing status in process .
therefore work flow monitoring team , who is checking which WF request are still in process
again initiating workflow .
Now again same cycle repeats , it again comes to inbox of same user , who earlier approves.
Please suggest why status is not changing , even after approval , why it is showing status in process
and why same user X , who earlier approves it , getting mail in its inbox for approving it.

Work-flow problem, 4 timelines

Hi!
I would need good suggestions for what would be the best way to do this:
I'm editing an art installation for a artist, who wants to use four video-screens for his installation. So it's four TVs playing different films synchronised into music. The problem is, that the screens sort of communicate with each other, so it would be importat in the editing phase to see the four clips play at same time.
Is it possible to play four timelines at the same time? The video material is DV, so maybe my G5 could do it.. But how?
So far I have been able to only see one clip at a time, so it's been really painfull to make all the cuts sync..
I read from the PRO-stories about this Muhamed Ali exhibition, where they did something similar:
"Cortina created a rough cut for all five screens within one Final Cut Pro window. “We were able to have five layers of video running simultaneously — all composed the way we wanted — in the Final Cut window,” he says. “And we were able to render a five-screen video, all laid down into one screen so we could see the whole video play out.”"
I didn't quite understand what and how they did that. Could somebody please explain.
Or how else would you do a project like this?
Thanks!!

Build four motion effects that place video in the four corners. Save as favorites and name descriptively – top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right.
Build a fifth sequence with four video tracks.
Drag each of your original timelines to the viewer and then insert each in turn to a separate track.
Drop your motion effects on each track.
Mark the section you need to view and render only that much so you can see whether it is working.
This is far from ideal – in theory when you make changes to the original sequences your "Quad Split" sequence will update, but you will need to re-render. You could also use Option-P or the Quick View tool to get a sense depending on how long the renders take, or how critical you viewing is.
Hopefully someone will have a clever alternative.
This is all for fine tuning when it is almost done. Before then I would just keep the codes consistent in your four sequences and work by time code references to sync events.

Hi,
Have you tried to check:
1. Release status of the workflow?
2. The agent assignment of the workflow, change it to general task if necessary?
3. Recompile and reactivate the workflow?

AE Major color/work-flow problems in latest release

Hello fellow After effects users,
I'm not usually one to bring up problems like this online but, recent changes to the "color" window have crippled my workflow. Ill describe the problems here and maybe there are new options I don't know of that can alleviate the challenge.
The color window is now seemingly a port of windows found in photoshop with a swatches panel and multiple color choosing options. This change however has brought on 2 major problems. First; the new "magnifying glass" color picker tool almost never chooses the exact color it highlights. The brightness and contrast selected are always slightly off for no explainable reason. In some cases, as in acquiring a color from another shape in AE, I can make a swatch of the color I want and use that. BUT, when I have a rasterized file, like a JPEG, it is impossible to match a color. There also is no Hex code box for colors, so no one stop way to copy and paste a color from one location to the next (my usual work around for faulty color pickers). This leaves, using Apple's built in color identifier (DigitalColor meter), then, switching back to AE to dial in the 3 parameters of hue, saturation, and brightness (or RGB) - an ok way to do things but way more cumbersome than previous methods.
Don't get me wrong; the swatches are amazing and have many great applications. I would not want them removed. There are just some things they cant do, especially with a color picker that does not work well.

Zach, in Preferences > General, is Use System Color Picker enabled? If so, you should disable this, and then you will see the same color picker dialog that After Effects has been using for several versions.
There has been no change to the color picker, and the Use System Color Picker option defaults to off but it sounds like this option may have been enabled for you at some point.

Plz give me work flow of film editing in Final Cut Pro..

Hello Everyone...
I am basically a Avid Film Editor. Past 2 years I am using Final Cut Pro. Recently I finished Final Cut Pro Level 1 & T3. Right now I am working as a App. Support Engineer specially for Final Cut Pro .
I want know the work flow of film editing in Final Cut Pro. I am very interested to do film editing in FCP but the workflow from Avid to FCP its totally different.
I tried few options like using FCP & Cinema Tools..
1. Captured 25fps clips and cofirmed to 24fps in cinematools.
2. In FCP the Timeline frame rate is 24fps
But I am not able to understand..
1. What is Database?
2. Cant we capture 24fps in FCP?
3. How to Synchronize captured clips with Cinema Tools database?
4. How to link the captured clips in to Cinema Tools database?
5. Where do I enter the KN Start & KN End?
6. What about Pull List & Cut List?
Please give me the details of film technics in Final Cut Pro....
Thanks in advance....

I knew I'd find this same post here. That makes three versions of trhe same list of questions.
Posting three times here implies you have posted this set of questions in many other FCP forums around the Net. If that is so, do us all the kindness of returning to all of them and closing them. Include the suggestions you have received and the solutions that were successful for you. That way your multiple threads will show up on search inquiries when other confused FCP newbies try to start complex film projects.
It's a bummer you cannot find these answers in the FCP manuals, I'm usre you looked there first. But, since we run on volunteers around here, it may be several days before someone with enough practical CinemaTools experience can stop by and handle them for you. Please have some patience.

Grant the access rights to manager run the work flow history report without edit /delete rights

I found that only Team Member / Workspace creator / Administrator can run
the work flow history report. However, we have a Purchase Order request
which need ask the supervisor for 1st approval and manager for 2nd approval.
But those managers want to see who prepare the P.O. and supervisor done the
first approval before their 2nd approval. How can I can grant the access
right to the manager to run the work flow history report for this purpose? I
tried grant the role "team member" to those manager, however, it will also
allow them to modify or delete the entry as they are the team member, but we
only want allow those managers can approve the entry and view the work flow
history without other acces such as add/delete/edit to prevent the human
mistake.
Pls advise how can I do this? Thanks!

Proper work flow before multiclip? Crop, Resize, Edit?

Hey all,
I have quick question as to what is the proper work flow that I should follow? I have 4 camera angles synced up with an external audio source in Sequence 'Sync'. Now should I go through and make any crop and resize adjustment to all of the clips/angles and then render before I start to multiclip in the nested sequence? Or can I just go and cut and then make adjustments to the orginal tracks and would it then update all the cuts in the nested sequence?
Thank you for the help!

Edit first, do clip manipulations/effects later. Anything applied to the original sequence will trickle down to the nested multicam edit; it's the same when you nest any sequence inside another.

CS5 Batch Processing Photo Editing work flow

I am relatively new to CS5 and I am intested in automating the correct gross photo editing work flow process [ie., levels contrast, color , noise, sharpening etc] once I have made RAW corrections for each photo.I hope this is as simple as refering me to a tutorial
Tank

Not sure exactly your are looking for, a template or an action to apply to other images. In Bridge/tools/photoshop there are a number of options. The image processor is quite powerful. There is also the option to make a metadata template to apply settings to other images.
Do a google search for batch process edits Bridge and see what suits your fancy.

What is MDM Work Flow

Hi MDM frnds,
What is MDM work flow, its Just like ABAP Work Flow??
At what stage we need to define MDM work Flow??
If anybody having usefull documentation shere to me..
Regards,Raj

Hi,
What is MDM work flow?
Workflow is used to run the processes working on master data in a systematic and orderly way.
Generally, we need to have some validations and approvals in order to make sure that master data is
correct.These validations ,approvals and other processes are not done by the single person.Different
operations will be done by different users in master data management.In order to control the overall
processes done by different users in an systematic way, we need workflow.
At what stage we need to define MDM work Flow??
As i said above whenever we have validations, assignments and matching and merging and various
approvals which should be act on our master data before send the master data various application
Systems, then we go for workflow.
For example as soon as we import the data, workflow can be triggered by setting configuration options
in import manager and imported records can be addeed to workflow automatically by setting Trigger action
to record import.By doing this,we can cleanse and normalize the data using various operations in workflow.
and also we can execute the MDM workflows in portal using guided procedures.
Not only that using workflow we can extract the data from MDM to remote system using syndicate step(Available from SP5) of the workflow.
Finally what i can say is using workflow all the operations which need to be executed on master data can
be done in a proper way.
For better understanding, go through below documnents.
