Media import bug

My media import window hangs whenever I try to play one of the files. Any thoughts?

Humour me and run disk utilities over your system, repair preferences and disk.
I have not upgraded the OS of FCPX to 10.0.6 as I am mid project.
Let us know how you go.

Nwrfc 0.0.5 with important bug fix!

I have just pushed version 0.0.5 of the new gem to rubygems.org (you can also access the latest repo at GitHub).
0.0.5 introduces an important bug fix in Table#each. Previously only the first row would continuously be returned. Now you can actually treat a Table like an Enumerable!

Cannot trim a clip in Media Import window.

Cannot trim a clip in the Media Import window once I copy the file to my desktop or external drive. However, I can trim the same clip from the original that is on an SD card. I get no "double arrow" icons but do see the entire clip highlighted with the yellow border. I can move this border by holding down the shift key and clicking on the clip but on import the entire clip comes into the Event Browser. Any clues?

You made sure you saved the file as Self-Contained Media? If you save as a reference file, there is nothing in the file except a list of pointers into the original file.
And, it needs to be Quicktime 7 Pro, not Quicktime (X) Player, although you can Trim clips in QTX player and export them, you have no choice what codecs to use (it will be H.264) and no way to set the quality and I'm pretty sure the operation will involve changes to the original media. Also, simply saving a trim edit in QTX will bash the original.

I believe I found an import bug in LR 5.4

I believe I've uncovered an import bug in Lightroom 5.4 under Mavericks. I noticed a folder with 19 photos and videos, but LR was only showing 18. So I tried synchronizing the folder, and still only 18 were found. So, in the import screen I unchecked "Don't import suspected duplicates", and it still would not import. So, I removed the folder containing the photos from LR, then re-imported them, and still only 18 photos!
So, the .jpg file listed here will NOT import into LR regardless of my efforts. The mp4 imports just fine. It seems like a bug pertaining to files with the same name but different extensions, or something similar. Here are the file names:
bernie3_blue_baby_shopping_walmart-09-2.mp4 - IMPORTS OK
bernie3_blue_baby_shopping_walmart-09-2.jpg - WILL NOT IMPORT

I’m not sure it’s a bug but rather by design. For example if you do external editing from Lightroom in Photoshop the word Edit is automatically added to the tiff or PSD file with the same name. Simply change the file name for the jpeg and it will import. LR does permit jpeg and raw files with the same name but it requires enabling in the prefs. I assume there is no similar pref setting for videos, as they would always be numbered separately when importing directly from a camera card; so the situation would never usually arise.

FCPX media import import window does not match finder

So I am trying to import media from Drive:PROJECT01/COT OODOODD/CONTENTSA/ as you can see what I see in finder is not what I get in FCPX media import window... ??

it seems if I close down FCPX and restart everything is fine - mmmn not very useful.
Is this a 'known issue'?
So long as I leave the camera contents folder named as 'contents' then X will unwrap the mxf files inside - which is fine - but why does the media import window not refresh when I edit names and content in finder without having to restart FCPX?

IDML Import Bug?

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone can reproduce what appears to be a CS4/CS5 IDML import bug.
I typed
11
22
33
44
55
(first 3 digits in bold) then tagged "22" as an XML element before exporting an IDML file.
When the IDML file is imported, I get
11
22
33
44
55
(all digits in boldface except for the trailing 2.)
The problem seems to be on the import side of CS4/CS5 since the exported IDML looks okay to me:
<ParagraphStyleRange AppliedParagraphStyle="ParagraphStyle/$ID/NormalParagraphStyle">
 <CharacterStyleRange AppliedCharacterStyle="CharacterStyle/$ID/[No character style]" FontStyle="Bold">
 <Content>11</Content>
 
 </CharacterStyleRange>
 <XMLElement Self="di2i7i6" MarkupTag="XMLTag/Story">
 <CharacterStyleRange AppliedCharacterStyle="CharacterStyle/$ID/[No character style]" FontStyle="Bold">
 <Content>2</Content>
 </CharacterStyleRange>
 <CharacterStyleRange AppliedCharacterStyle="CharacterStyle/$ID/[No character style]">
 <Content>2</Content>
 </CharacterStyleRange>
 </XMLElement>
 <CharacterStyleRange AppliedCharacterStyle="CharacterStyle/$ID/[No character style]">
 
 <Content>33</Content>
 
 <Content>44</Content>
 
 <Content>55</Content>
 
 </CharacterStyleRange>
</ParagraphStyleRange>
Comments anyone?

Hello Larry,
i am the developer of the IDMLlib http://idmllib.com/ a Java library which is able to read/modify/create IDML.
I have also noticed some strange behavior regarding the importing of IDML, where the order of elements affect the parsing of the IDML in CS4/CS5.
My first thought was, i have created an invalid IDML, but the IDML Relax NG compact schema is very explicit, order doesn´t matter.
The best example i have at hand, which is very easy to reproduce is the TabList. A valid tablist attached to ParagraphStyleRange for example looks like this:
<TabList type="list">
 <ListItem type="record">
 <Alignment type="enumeration">LeftAlign</Alignment>
 <AlignmentCharacter type="string">,</AlignmentCharacter>
 <Leader type="string"></Leader>
 <Position type="unit">144</Position>
 </ListItem>
</TabList>
If you change this by moving the Position to the top, which is no problem regarding the schema which doesn´t enforce a strict order of the elements:
element Alignment { enum_type, TabStopAlignment_EnumValue }&
element AlignmentCharacter { string_type, xsd:string }&
element Leader { string_type, xsd:string }&
element Position { unit_type, xsd:double })
So if you change this example to this, and reimport the IDML into CS4/CS5 INDD the <Position/> will not be parsed and you wont see a TabList
<TabList type="list">
 <ListItem type="record">
 <Position type="unit">144</Position>
 <Alignment type="enumeration">LeftAlign</Alignment>
 <AlignmentCharacter type="string">,</AlignmentCharacter>
 <Leader type="string"></Leader>
 </ListItem>
</TabList>
If you export this again as IDML the <Position/> if set to 0
I circumvented this problem by forcing the creation of TabList Items with a constructor that will only allow to create TabListItems with all values present and therefore i can force the order of the created childs. But i think this will not be the only problem where parsing doesn´t do what it is supposed to do.
There has been a posting from a guy complaining about different import results regarding the attribute order of IDML element:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/637711
I will try to reproduce the behavior you decribed.
Cheers, Andreas

FB3 Beta 3 - another organize imports bug

I'm getting lucky :-) Here is another organize imports bug in
FB3 Beta3...
If you have some simple hierarchy where base class defines
public (or protected) method, and sub class tries to override this
method you will encounter this bug. Let say that base class looks
like this:
package test {
import flash.display.Shape;
public class BaseClass extends Shape {
public function BaseClass() {
public function myMethod():void {
trace("In BaseClass.myMethod()");
and that sub class looks like this
package test {
public class SubClass extends BaseClass {
public function SubClass() {
super();
Now, if you try to override myMethod() from BaseClass and
start typing in subclass something like
override public function m
and use Ctrl+Space, FB will insert appropriate method but it
will also insert errorneous import statement like this:
import test.BaseClass.myMethod;
So you will end up with sub class which looks like following:
package test {
import test.BaseClass.myMethod;
public class SubClass extends BaseClass {
public function SubClass() {
super();
override public function myMethod():void {
Wrong import is correctly marked as error but issuing
"organize import" does not remove it so it must be removed
manually.
Regards,
Damir Murat
PS: Sorry for bad code formatting but there is no option for
inserting in-line code and attach code is a little bit
awkward.

Damir Murat,
Did you already file a bug for this? If not, would you mind
adding it to the public bug base so we can track the issue.
Thanks,
Peter

Address Book contact importing bug

Bug reproducing sequence:
1) Create any smart-group in the Address Book
2) Double-click that group's name to rename it
3) Command-Tab from Address Book leaving it in status waiting to enter new smart-group's name
4) Double click on any .vcf file to import a new contact into Address Book
5) You'd be forwarded back to Address Book with a window offering to confirm contact's import
Bug itself:
Pressing the Add button actually imports a new contact to the Address Book, but does not close this pop-up window. As a result you can create many copies of the same contact before you notice the problem and close this window pressing Cancel button.
Testing the same sequence on MacMini and iMac caused creation of many Unnamed contacts and did not import a new contact at all.

I found the solution in a different post in the community.
You need to go into yr address book on yr MAC. Edit each contact 1 by 1... Cut (Cmd X) and copy (Cmd V) each pix back in... When you synch yr MAC and iPhone again, pix miraculously appear in Contacts and when you get a call from one of them.
Not a fancy solution but works!...

Adobe Media Encoder bug with Cineform .avi

I encoded an HDV m2t file to Cineform intermediate in Sony Vegas. I added that file to Adobe Media Encoder's render cue. No matter what export format I choose, AME fails to recognize the source file's pixel aspect ratio of 1.33:1 and produces a horizontally squashed image.
Even the source window incorrectly shows the file as having a PAR of 1:1. Premiere Pro CS4 won't load the source file properly. I can import it into AE CS4. From there, I exported it to the same Cineform intermediate, and then it works fine in AME.
Why can't AME and Premiere Pro recognize the proper PAR in the Vegas-encoded Cineform file?

I'm not even sure if this qualifies as a "bug". The only thing at issue (if I understand correctly) is that AME is failing to recognize the PAR of the file. AFAIK, there is no "standard" for flagging PAR in AVI files (aside from DV footage, which can have simple boolean 16x9 flag).
Adobe has their RIFF headers -- but this is by no means a standard across the entire industry. There is no indication that your file contains any PAR information whatsoever.
If you open the file in Premiere, you should be able to right-click on the clip in the Project window, go to Interpret Footage and select the correct PAR of 1.333.
The problem is that the standalone version of AME does not have an "Interpret Footage" option to override PAR assumptions for AVI files, etc. that are added to queue. This is a good idea for a feature request for future versions of AME.

L3 Import Bug

I am re-importing my whole collection of about 50,000 photos one or a few folders at a time. I am converting to DNG on import to a separate Hard Drive on a folder with the same name as the original (ex: 2010-05-08 - Scotland).
Some of the folders contain only RAW images (CR2) and some other contain RAW and JPG. Occasionally (about one time out of five) when the file is created, Lightroom has copied not just one JPG image but also created an identical 2nd, a 3rd and sometimes even a 4th. If I close Lightroom and restart it usually things go back to normal (but not always).
To sum it up:
Original folder 2010-05-08 - Scotland contains:
_MG9293.CR2
_MG9293.JPG
New folder will contain:
_MG9293.DNG
_MG9293.JPG
But sometimes it will contain
_MG9293.DNG
_MG9293.JPG
_MG9293-2.JPG
or:
_MG9293.DNG
_MG9293.JPG
_MG9293-2.JPG
_MG9293-3.JPG
or even:
_MG9293.DNG
_MG9293.JPG
_MG9293-2.JPG
_MG9293-3.JPG
_MG9293-4.JPG
I have no changed the settings at all, so this can only be a bug IMO.
Anyone else?

Becky,
You may be on to somethng with the "Don't Import Suspected Duplicates" check box. I, like many other newcomers to LR, have followed Nat Coalson's advice on page 51 of "Lightroom 3". He says "Also, on the File Handling panel, make sure Don't Import Duplicates is unchecked. We don't want Lightroom deciding for us what's a duplicate and what's not".
He goes on to say "There may be the odd scenario where this option could come in handy, but I haven't found it yet"
Any finally finshes by saying that if there are duplicate files LR won't import them anyway, whether or not this is enabled.
Again on page 48 he states in bold print "A Lightroom catalog can only contain one instance of each photo:if the photo is already listed in the catalog, you can't import it again.
Is it possible that LR's handling of exact duplicate photo files has been changed since the version he used in writing the book.
It actually makes more sense if this function works the way you indicate, Becky.
I've used Lr since v1, and I do not believe it has ever behaved in this manner. This option is enabled by default, and it is very useful. Under the right circumstances you might want to disable it, but for most people it should be enabled. Little in this quote is actually how Lr has ever worked, to the best of my knowledge.
In fact, I would argue the complete opposite of what this person says. I'd argue that letting the computer make good decisions and doing the repetitive grunt work is exactly what computers are for, letting the person running it make the real decisions.
At any rate, if you try to import the same file into the same directory, Lr will silently and correctly add it to the catalogue with a slightly modified name. Even if you have a naming template in most cases this will happen with duplicates because the metadata you can use in the templates will also be the same (it is, after all, the exact same file.) A catalogue entry has to have a unique filespec.
My advice is to leave "don't import duplicates" enabled, and make sure you format your media in-camera once you know it has been transferred successfully to Lr and a backup and you will not run into this problem.
Don't sweat the actual folder arrangement in most cases. If you need a specific on-disk folder arrangement you might be better off managing that yourself, and then just import via "Add" (i.e., not Move) in-place (or sync the folders if they are already in Lr.) 95% of the time you just want a bog-standard set of nested folders based on the date of the image, and use Collections and other metadata driven techniques to slice through your ever growing dataset. I actually untick the Folder panel from my Library view because it serves no daily purpose. I re-enable it when I absolutely have to access things via the filesystem through Lr (which is rare.)
Life is to short to not let computers take care of the boring stuff.

How can I restart media import in final cut pro?

The operation of background activities on Final Cut Pro is often convenient, except when an import gets interrupted by an inadvertant media removal. I usually have multiple SD cards connected to my Mac doing imports, and if I have more media than I have adapters/slots to connect them with, I will invariably unplug the wrong card, and interrupt an import that is in progress. When I put the card back in, there is nothing that I can see to "restart" the import of that media where it left off at, or at least start over, and overwrite any incomplete files. Instead, it seem that I need to import the card into a new event, and then use finder to then move the media files into the old event folder structure. Only then, can I get something that seems to work.
Is there some other way to reliably restart the import, or otherwise force the import to actually work? It seems that if I try to import to the same event, again, I see the animation of the closing file selection dialog toward the events, but the background tasks window shows no activity, and I don't see anything ever complete as an import.
This, also blocks any attempt to "share" the project too, because it keeps complaining about an import which has not finished, and thus the project is still referencing "media on the camera" . That limitation has got to go away too! I really want to construct my project, share it, and move on. Waiting for media to "import" when I actually can construct the project with the preliminary media view doesn't make sense. Even if importing needs to happen for conversion/rendering for the share, just do that in the background. Let me say "share", and go do something else with my time!
I have submitted feedback on this, but if anyone has pointers of simplifying import from SD cards that would be great!

Select the photos you want rotated, open the Inspector (command-4). In the Video section of the Inspector, hover your mouse near the Transform and click show if it's not already open. The rotation setting is in there.

Media Imports offline?

just finished a recording and as usual I copied all of my dslr footage of my SDHC memory card onto my desktop into a new folder. opened up final cut pro X and imported the folder. However after it finished importing all of my clips are showing up as media offline... This has never happened before ever since the new 10.0.2 update ;-/ really apperciate help asap on this one,
thanks matt

Check the playback preferences and make sure it's set correctly for either proxy media or original/optimized media.

ICal import bug when creating calendars in iPhoto 2011

Hi,
I just created a calendar in the new iPhoto 2011 and imported an iCal calendar to the project.
What I discovered is that it only imports one event per day to the calendar in iPhoto, although the calendar in iCal has sometimes more than one event per day.
Fx. in my calendar in iCal I have two events on a certain date, f.x my mothers birthday and my son's birthday on January 18th. However when importing this calendar to the calendar project in iPhoto only my mothers name gets imported. This was not an issue in iPhoto 2010.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Definitely a bug and unforgivable given the time of year - I usually order a couple of calendars as Christmas presents - If I can't order them in time for Christmas then Apple have lost the business.
It seems to me that iLife 11 was rushed out for Christmas. First the appalling upgrade problems and then the realisation that Calendars were not included. Two patches later and we still have an un-useable Calendar.
The worst part about it is, it's not obvious - I wonder how many people have ordered calendars and not noticed the missing Birthdays. I can see a lot of disappointed friends and relatives next year whose birthdays will be missed.
My only hope is an old backup of my Macbook - pre upgrade. If I can boot from that disk, import my recent photos, import the latest version of the iCal Calendar events, I can recreate the Calendar with iPhoto '09. Not sure I can be bothered,

Java SDO API import bug

There is a bug in the Oracle Java SDO API. It cannot import compound geometries which consist of either 3 or 4 sub-elements. e.g., the following geometry cannot be imported:
SDO_GEOMETRY(2002, NULL, NULL, SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1, 4, 4, 1, 2, 1, 9, 2, 2, 13
, 2, 2, 17, 2, 1), SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(278222.37, 179102.519, 278222.37, 179111.223,
278222.37, 179176.31, 278223.164, 179194.567, 278224.751, 179206.473, 278238.913,
179237.143, 278262.587, 179261.242, 278288.15, 179273.083, 278316.033, 179277.117,
278336.935, 179274.471, 278357.997, 179271.272))
Apparently the API does not validate the SDO_ETYPE when checking the SDO_INTERPRETATION value in the geometry.
SDO_INTERPRETATION values of 3 and 4 are assumed to be a rectangle and circle, respectively, independent of the SDO_ETYPE value. In fact, these SDO_INTERPRETATION should be handled such only for SDO_ETYPE value of 3.
For an SDO_ETYPE value of 4 (as in the example above), the SDO_INTERPRETATION value indicates the number of sub-elements in the compound geometry element.
Any ideas for a workaround or fix for this bug?

Hi Sunil,
This is a bug. There doesn't seem to be a workaround.
Can you contact me via email or post your email?
Thanks.
