LR4 files being imported with star Ratings

I am sure this is a very basic question...one of my LR4 catalogs is importing image files with a 1 * rating already applied to all the images. It does not happen with 3 other catalogs. I'm assuming it's somewhere in the important panel dialogue, but I can't see how to turn it off.
Any advice is welcome.
Stephen

Yes, there was one and I can't seem to open it for editing, (I only get the new preset metadata window) so I have now set the preset metadata dropdown to "none". Can you advise me how to look at it for editing?
On your other point, I found it useful to have more than one catalog because I have worked on 2 major photography projects in the last year. A book, and a major advertising campaign for a government agency. They both required shooting over 5000 images (for each project) and both needed over 20 separate file folders. It was more managable to allocate a unique catalog for each project.
Thanks for the help,
Stephen

Iphoto import with keyword & ratings simplify & streamline

REQUEST: PLEASE, please, please, simplify and streamline iphoto library import with keywords & ratings.

I haven't tried the whole flow, but could you create a smart album in iPhoto that has photo is RAW? Duplicate it as a non-smart album... Then go into aperture and import it? You could even import it as a referenced file to save space.
Did I miss something in my solution? Hope you can do it!

UCCX 7.1 Holiday.xml file being overwritten with older file

I'm administering a UCCX server v7.1 in which the holiday.xml file in the wfaavid\documents\user directory keeps resorting to an older holiday.xml file after I manually copy an updated file into the directory. When I initially copy the file over, our Contact Center identifies the holidays fine. I find each holiday there after, an older version of the file with older dates appears. So I have to manually copy the file to the directory again that holiday morning. I'm assuming the switch occurs before hand but not sure when or why. Is there another directory I'm missing that I should be copying the updated file too? Or is there another explanation that is causing this issue?
Any help would be appreciated.

That local directory is overwritten by the document in the repository (in the database).
That's working as designed. You'll need to leverage the web page AppAdmin to update your XML file, or do it from within a script with the Upload Document step. Those are the only two supported methods.

Mts files cannot imported with audio in pro cc6. how i can import mts files with audio?

when i am importing mts files in pro cc6. every time it is being imported without audio. though original mts files have audio. how can i import mts files with audio in cc6?

To clarify Media Browser suggestion - very important that you copy ALL content from SD card to hard drive before importing using Media Browser. If you only have the .mts files alone, there is stuff missing that is needed for Premiere to properly interpret the video/audio.
Thanks

Want to transfer images RAW&Previews with star ratings & alterations

Used someone elses computer to clean up a host of pictured from a holiday. I now want to export/import or otherwise transfer them to our own Mac and Aperture Library. I tried Exporting and Exporting but loose the alterations made and star ratings. Anyone know how I should do this to avoid losing the changes made?
Grateful for any advise, Floor
PS. Just in case this matters, not using AP 3 yet on either Mac.

Ian,
Apologies... Just for the record, I was wrong... I just had another look and the pictures were in fact correctly imported with the star rating and changes... I think I could not see that possibly because the previes (?) had not been created or so... that is the bit I still do not understand.
Bottom line it worked - I just didn't realise it.
Thanks for helping out. Floor

How do I revert to replaced audio files being saved with the project file, *not* with the original audio files?

In the latest release, when you send an audio clip to Audition, the newly created audio clip - which was previously saved in the same folder as the project file - is saved next to the original audio file.
Makes sense, but for reasons to boring to go into, it's a major headache for my workflow, because it means combing through folders to find the files, instead of having them all in once place.
So how to I turn this off and revert to those files being saved next to the project file?

Hey Steve,
You'll want to connect your phone to your computer and sync it in iTunes. You can read more about it here:

Motion 5 will not permit psd file to import with layers

OK, a friend wants me to do a project for him- animate his logo- in motion. He developed his logo in photoshop and it is a psd file as a result.
My problem is that motion will NOT let me import the file with the individual layers. I've tried setting it to 8 bit color channels (he designed it with 16 bit channels) because there was a forum that suggested that and it did not work. I've tried importing it with the + icon on the media tab. I've tried importing it with file>import. I've tried dragging and dropping the file on the canvas. I've tried reformatting as a tiff and png file. I've tried everything google will tell me and yet I have nothing.
OS X 10.7.5
Motion 5.0.7
I've got plenty of guts to do the job, 8 GB RAM stuffed into last years MBP mid grade 15 inch model, I just cannot for the life of me get the layers to be manipulated on an individual basis.

Did you try this?
Choose File > Import.
Select the layered Photoshop file to import, then click Import.The Pick Layer to Import dialog appears.
Choose a command from the Layer Name pop-up menu:
Merged Layers: All layers of the Photoshop file are collapsed into a single Motion layer.
All Layers: A group is created, and each layer of the Photoshop file is preserved as a separate Motion layer in this group.
[Individual layers]: Each layer in the Photoshop file appears as a separate item in the drop menu. Selecting a layer adds only that layer to the project, where it appears as a single Motion layer.
If you don’t like the layer you chose, you can pick a different one from the Photoshop file without deleting or importing again. You do so by selecting the recently imported Photoshop layer, then choosing a different Photoshop layer from the Layer pop-up menu in the Properties Inspector.

Duplicate text files being created with ~ appended

Whenever I edit a text file with TextEditor and save it, a duplicate file is created with a ~ appended to the end of the name.
Example:
After editing and saving my_file.txt my_file~.txt is also created.
The result is I get two files with exactly the same contents.
my_file.txt
my_file~.txt
I would really like to stop it from doing this. It clutters up everything. It has done this since I first installed the OS. My file system format is Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Any suggestions?

I looked through the preferences for TextEditor. I had "Delete the automatic backup file unchecked". I think checking this option will fix the problem.

Hi, new user to Premiere Pro 5, File is being imported with audio delay

Quick and probably easy question! I'm attempting to put together an actor's demo reel. For some reason when I import one of the videos I need , the audio is a second ahead of the video. The clip's audio/video is in synch in my video library so I know it's not the video. I've tried re-importing it, and I've tried rendering it several times to no avail. I've been exploring ways to edit the audio, but being new to this program, have found myself stumped for a few hours now. Can anyone tell me why it's importing like that, or if there is a simple way to fix this, please?! Thank you so much.

Issue with Star Ratings in Windows Media Player 12 on Win7

The particular issue I'm having is this. I can star rate my music a 1, 2, 3, or 4. However if I try to rate anyone particular song a 5 star Rating, it shows it as a 0 star rating. This is happening on my desktop system as well as my laptop. I never
had this problem before. And I'm not really sure when this problem started. Also, it shows 5 star rated songs a 0 star rating in explorer as well. Any help to figure out this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for all who reply.

AI file not importing with layers?!

I am trying to do a simple thing and that is import an AI file that contains layers. When I import into After Effects I get the new Comp and I see just one AI file icon. I can't figure out why my layers are not coming in.
Anyone got some ideas?

Ok. I did a screen grab with a new AI project that only has three layers. I got one grab before Layer release and one after layer release. I made sure that I am in RGB mode from the FILE pull down and I am in RGB mode. I tested this AI file with another After Effects project that imported a Photoshop file containing 332 layers (Which all layers imported from that). After Effects is still just importing one AI file that shows nothing.
after release:
Does it matter if I created a AI project with the Film Video template with 1920 x 1080 dimensions? Color Mode is still RGB. I have tried just making a new AI file with basic RBG setup and still same issue. I have not tried this on a different computer.

Import from Panasonic DMC-LX3, only RAW files being imported not JPGs

Hi,
is there a workaround for the following Aperture import transfer behaviour:
I have set my Panasonic DMC-LX3 to produce Raw (for CS4) and Jpg images with every shot.
However, when I import the SD card, Aperture only imports the .RW2 files (which are of course not supported as the DMC-LX3 is not compatible).
When I separate the RW2 files from the JPGs with two different folders on the SD card, then Aperture is able to transfer the JPGs.
Any workaround?
Thanks
Christoph

The JPEGs are there; they're just not used by default. To use them, use the "New version from master JPEG" menu item.

Additional audio channels being imported with XML from FCP. Merged Clips. Out of Sync

Problem
When I import an XML Interchange Format V5 file from FCP7 and then import into Premiere Pro CC, my merged clips now have 4 audio channels. 2 from the original file and 2 from the merged audio.
Versions
FCP 7
Premiere Pro CC 7.2
Workflow
* Create merged clips in FCP
     * ProRes Video clip with camera audio
     * Stereo audio clip
     * Sync in Timeline
     * Delete unneeded audio tracks, reducing track on video clip to 1 mono track, centered
     * Drag to browser
* Export XML Interchange V5
* Open Premiere
* Import XML Interchange File
* Clips are imported, HOWEVER
     * Clips now have 4 tracks of audio
     * Tracks 1-2 are audio from the original Video clip
     * Tracks 3-4 are audio from the synced second source audio file
     * Additionally, tracks 1-2 are now OUT OF SYNC
I cannot find a way around this. Clips now all have out of sync indicators on them. Merged audio is insync, and original audio is out of sync.
I do not want to have to resync all of my audio, everything is tagged and organized into bins.
Anybody know why this happens and a workaround?

Ha ha, an excellently wry comparison.
I'm using photo-jpeg because it was reccomended to me as a way to achieve greater image quality when exporting within the confines of youtube.

Why is my Zip file being created with size of O KB?

I have the following code
public static int createZip (String directory)
                   throws IOException {
     File path = new File( directory );
     File outZip = new File("c:\\wip\\sams9dbExport.zip");
     boolean boo = outZip.createNewFile();
     FilenameFilter filter = new FilenameFilter() {
        public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
            return name.endsWith(".xml");
    if ( outZip.exists() ) System.out.println("File exists");
     System.out.println(" Files and filters made");
     // These are the files to include in the ZIP file
     String[] fileList = path.list(filter);
    // Create a buffer for reading the files
    byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
    try {
        // Create the ZIP file
        String outFilename = "sams9dbExport.zip";
        ZipOutputStream out = new ZipOutputStream( new FileOutputStream( outFilename ) );
        // Compress the files
        for ( int i=0; i < fileList.length; i++ ) {
            FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream( "c:\\wip\\"+fileList[i] );
             System.out.println( fileList[i] );
            // Add ZIP entry to output stream.
            out.putNextEntry( new ZipEntry( "c:\\wip\\"+fileList[i] ) );
            System.out.println("Added an entry");
            // Transfer bytes from the file to the ZIP file
            int len;
            while ( ( len = in.read( buf ) ) > 0 ) {
                out.write( buf, 0, len );
            // Complete the entry
            out.closeEntry();
            in.close();
        // Complete the ZIP file
         out.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
         System.out.println( e.toString() );
         return 0;
    return 1;
}And I get the following output
SQL> @ziptest

But my file is created empty. I previously added a println statement in the while loop to see if it was reading and writing bytes and it was.
Any ideas?

I have the following code
public static int createZip (String directory)
throws IOException {
File path = new File( directory );
File outZip = new
= new File("c:\\wip\\sams9dbExport.zip");
boolean boo = outZip.createNewFile();So these two lines will create sams9dbExport.zip with size 0 bytes, if file didn't exist.
No need to do that....
try {
// Create the ZIP file
String outFilename = "sams9dbExport.zip";
ZipOutputStream out = new ZipOutputStream(
tStream( new FileOutputStream( outFilename ) );Probably you are looking a wrong "sams9dbExport.zip" -file. Your application will create two "sams9dbExport.zip"-files, one into wip-folder with 0 bytes, and other into default directory.

Disabling "move files when importing" with Adobe Premiere Elements

I want pictures/videos to stay in file location when importing them into Adobe Premiere Elements (I use Adobe organizer) as I also use the files in Adobe LIghtroom. The respective option cannot be disabled in the import dialogue.

idogu
Could you elaborate on what you are doing and the problems that you are running into?
What version of Premiere ELements and its Elements Organizer are you using and on what computer operating system is it running.
My problem in understanding your question involves the following thoughts.
When you import files into Premiere Elements or its Elements Organizer, the originals remain at the computer hard drive save location. The program has just thumbnails of the files, and those thumbnails need to trace back to the originals at the hard drive save location. Is the problem in a shortcoming of the Lightroom program?
We will be watching for clarification.
Thank you.
