Merge data to create multiple personalized videos

In After Effects, is it possible to create layers that allow for merged data to be imported so as to export multiple personalized videos?

I envision one 'master' video with text layers that call for data inputs. Similar to a mail merge process, a unique 'personalized' instance of the video would be created from each name in the datalist. If I have 50 names I'd render 50 new videos, each one unique.
Is this possible?
Thank you!!

  • Multiple Person Video Conferencing

    A few months ago I bought a MacBook for college. I have the cheapest one. A lot of my friend are getting their computers now and last night I video chatted for the first time. We are trying to figure out how to do a multiple person video chat, but it looks like are computers aren't equipped to do this. Is this really the case? If not, how do we set one up?

    the macbooks are epuipped to do that to invite mueltiple ppl select the persons name and at the bottom of your buddy list click the grey video button

  • Create multiple looping videos on one DVD

    My client wishes to have a DVD with multiple video selections on the menu and the option to have those videos loop when they are selected to play, so they will play endlessly until they choose another video. Evidently this is going to a trade show of sorts. Is there a script or a setting that will prevail on this matter. I know that on the main menu there are loop settings but not on tracks or have I missed something? Anyone with suggestions?

    Myles:
    Check this recent thread:

    You can use stories to create normal and loop playback tracks without scripting.
    Hope it helps !

  • Merge data creating duplicate listings

    I have a csv database with about 580 records. I've created a template with the correct fields in inDesign, loaded the csv file using merge data, then created the merged document. I get 580 listings of one item like the image below. If there is an errant symbol in the csv database causing this, it doesn't reflect in an error in a preview. In fact, all 580 records can be previewed, copied and pasted into another document and displayed error-free. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be appreciated.

    Depends on the document. ISSUU - 2015 Kayak Gear Guide by Wild Coast Publishing. This went live unpublished for client proofing requiring two separate sessions, so three reflows of the database. If it worked properly, the clients submit the revised spreadsheets that are dropped into a database. The revised database is then loaded into inDesign. If the update worked as it should, it wouldn't require a single extra piece of work in the inDesign document. It would be: import client spreadsheet into the database, export the database into csv file, update csv into inDesign and update the fields. Five minutes. Now look at that document and you have 60 of 604 records to change and it can't be automated. You're telling me it's no deal reflow that document and build it from scratch again? I don't think so. The problem is this would be SO easy to work properly. Some initial finessing of the headings and bam, done for the year. We could take client updates and reflow it live online in minutes of effort. It should work properly. I paid Adobe to have it work properly. It doesn't work properly. I lost days of productivity trying to overcome the shortfalls and apparently I'm hearing I can't resolve the issue without an expenditure of hundreds potentially thousands of dollars for another system. If that was the case I wouldn't have upgraded to CC. CS4 worked fine and it was paid for. (As an aside, there was an additional error that the links didn't work as they pointed to the spreadsheet rather than the URL. Plus the issuu.com publisher turned all links live, including the database links that pointed to the database, so there were suddenly 10 links or so per record, none of which worked. This version of the document was saved as a PDF without hyperlinks as we decided that no links temporarily was better than 10 that didn't work. So that part remains to be done, another problem to overcome, as the autodetect hyperlinks seems to have a flaw as well when dealing with merged data).  

  • Problems with Merge Data Files

    Created a form with radio buttons and finally have it working on my computer including the Merge Data Files creating the report.csv file.  However, when my co-worker creates the report.csv, the columns for the radio buttons are not included.  Had this problem on my computer when I had names for the radio buttons, but fixed it.  The data columns for the radio buttons are not exported on the co-workers computer.  Both are Pro X version, mine 10.0.0 but co-worker's is 10.1.7.

  • Multi-person Video calls

    Is it possible to easily use FaceTime or iMessage to do multiple person video calls? I believe the original version of faceTime allowed this but now it seems I have to go through iMessage and get everyone on a Buddy list and it very cumbersome; I could not get it to work.
    Apple does not seem to advertise this as a capability so I am assuming it is not possible.
    Am I missing something or do i just need to try a different program or app, like Google groups or something?
    thanks

  • What does the Merge Data Stream processor do when there are multiple input streams to it from the same reader?

    Hi,
    I have a process with a reader of master data that outputs 5 records that feeds simultaneously into 3 different lookup and return processors.
    Each lookup and return processor brings some data back from a detail table. There can be multiple details so I follow each lookup processor with a split records from array processor. Hence I end up with 3 'streams' of data. Stream 1 has 8 records, stream 2 has 5 records and stream 3 has 6 records.
    I join all these streams to a Merge Data Streams processor.
    I end up with 9 records so although the help for the Merge Data Streams processor says 'Merge Data Streams does not perform any transformation, matching, or merging of records' there is clearly some merging going on.
    What is the behaviour of the merge data streams processor in this scenario?
    I have added attributes and flags into each of the streams. How many records should I see and what values should the added attributes/flags have (some records show attributes/flags from all 3 streams whereas others show just those attributes/flags from one stream).
    I have developed a test case simply to understand what the processor is doing but it's not obvious and furthermore it's probably unwise to develop EDQ processes where the processor behaviour is not documented and guaranteed to remain consistent. What I am trying to achieve is to bring all of a person's (the master data) various details (assignments, employers, etc.) together so we can check the data (some rules require data from multiple details).
    Thanks, Nik

    Cheers Mike - and for the explanation of the terms.
    I think I understand now how it's supposed to work.
    What I'm finding however is that when I set a flag to Y at the beginning of a path (that includes a lookup and return and then split records from array processor) that flag is showing no (i.e. an empty) value in SOME of the records shown in the subsequent MDS processor (it's fine the very last split processor before we get to the MDS but then again there are fewer records in that split processor than the MDS).
    In my case there are obviously more records in the MDS processor than there were in the original reader (because the lookup and returns are configured to have unlimited maximum matches). As mentioned, the different paths return different numbers of  records before being combined in the MDS. Say a reader has 5 records and path 1 returns 8 records in total including a path-specific flag (flag1, set to Y) but path 2 (that again adds its own path-specific flag (flag2, set to Y) returns just 5 records (since nothing was added from the lookups) are you saying that flag2 would show as 'Y' for all 8 records shown in the MDS?
    Hopefully you would be able to see what I mean if you try to create a process like the one I've described (or I can upload a package).
    Re. the purpose of the separate paths approach it is simply to allow the visualisation ('showing the working' as Neil puts it) of the different checks being carried out by the process.
    This is considered one of the benefits of the tool over writing SQL queries (with outer joins, query criteria, etc.).
    Also, as mentioned I was following an example that Neil put together for us to ensure that we are doing things in a 'proper' and supported way.
    If we put all the lookups, etc. for all the checks into one datastream then it no longer becomes so understandable and the value of joining processors in a process over simply writing SQL becomes questionable; arguably the EDQ process in fact becomes less easy to understand than simply writing SQL.
    Also, to go down this route I will need to revise the (what was previously substantially working until I revised it) processes that I have already developed.
    Thanks, Nik

  • Merge Data Multiple records problem (repeats data)

    I'm tring to creat some cataloge pages with 4 images, codes, dicritons etc per page.
    i have a excel sheet which I've saved to a CSV file for a data source. i have a single page with the first record at the top and enogh room to repeat the record 4 times on the page. When I do the data merge I'v selected multiple records per page and put in all the settings and spacings I want.
    Everything looks fine when i click on the multiple reports prevew but when i do the actual merge most of the merges copy the same data with only a few records using different data. It's generating the correct number of records and pages with 4 records per page but repeatiing the same record,except for 2 records which were different before going back to the repeated record. Also the record it repeats is not the first record on the list, it's about the 6 of 16.
    I'm using CS5 version of Indesign.
    Any one have any sugestions to get it working corrctly or is this a fault wiyh CS5?

  • How do I create multiple-up pages populated with variable data?

    I am trying to create a variable data Illustrator file but with a catch, I have to create multiple points of data on one artboard.  I am using a template with 36 identical shapes, and I'm trying to add a different image to each based off of using variable data.  I understand the premise of creating multiple output files based off of an illustrator file and data, but I have to create a single output file using 36 points of data, all QR codes.  The reason is that this 36-up 14.5" x 14.5" sheet will be printed on a large format inkjet and then be fed into another machine (not a cutter) that requires that specific layout for it's process.  I cannot create individual files, I need sheets based off of my 14.5" x 14.5" 36-up template.
    Any suggestions other than making each shape in the template a separate variable (even though they are all the exact same shape) would be greatly appreciated.
    My goal is to populate each of these shapes with a different QR code and then output the whole sheet as a single .EPS or .PDF file.

    My goal is to populate each of these shapes with a different QR code and then output the whole sheet as a single .EPS or .PDF file.
    You're barking up the wrong tree for this with Illustrator's Variables palette.
    Think of it like this:
    Imagine a typical spreadsheet with multiple rows of the same kind of data, except for the first row which serves as the "labels" of the columns.
    The on-page objects which you define as Variables in Illustrator correspond to the first row; the column labels.
    The datasets correspond to the following rows of values below the label row.
    Cycling through the datasets simply moves up and down the rows, revealing one row's data at a time for each of the column labels.
    Your multi-up array does not fit that data model. You are essentially trying to make a layout showing all the individual cells below the single label of one column (downward across all rows). (Illustrator's Variables feature doesn't even let you put multiple instances of a single variable in the document, so that the same value occurs in multiple places.)
    You're trying to build the functional equivalent of a typical "gang up" press sheet, like a 10-up layout of business cards, each showing the same kind of data (name, phone, etc.) for multiple employees, so that you don't have to do separate press runs for each employee. That's certainly a common need, and one quite appropriate to a program like Illustrator. But Illustrator's Variables feature does not do that.
    Essentially, what you are wanting to do is to replicate the basic functionality of any program which is used to print labels from data (like the typical mail merge function for address labels which are ganged up with some number of different labels on a page). What you want could be done in Illustrator via a custom JavaScript, but it would be a pretty silly exercise in reinventing the wheel. If it were me, I'd probably build the solution in FileMaker Pro (a database program), depending on the specific graphics requirements. However, you should be able to do it in InDesign, using its data merge feature.

  • CAT2 multiple person data entry and worklist

    Hello everybody,
    For our users we have created a multiple person data entry profile and everything is working fine. hours for multiple people can now be entered in CAT2. However, our users are now stating a new request: They would like to see the worklist aswell (just like with single person hour entry).
    When trying to customize the data entry profile and making the setting for showing the worklist, SAP shows the message that multiple person and worklist are mutually exclusive, so not posible.
    However, the request from our users doesn't seem that strange. Would anyone of you know a way to combine the worklist with multiple person hour entry?
    Thanks in advance for your advice.

    hi
    As per the message frm SAP , standard way would not be possible , you may think of a enhancement for this.

  • Merging data from multiple BAPI tables

    Hello,
    I'm executing a BAPI_XX_GETLIST with multiple "Tables" selected with the REQUESTEDTABLESX import parameter. What is the best way to combine/merge data from multiple "Tables" and bind them into a single webdynpro UI Table?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Lets say the BAPI name is BAPI_XX_GETLIST and the table names are ET_TABLE1(Field1, Field2, Field3)  and ET_TABLE2 (FieldA, FieldB). You have display the fields of ET_TABLE1 (Field1, Field2, Field3) and one field from ET_TABLE2 (FieldB). "FieldA" id the key field.
    Create a value node (vnField) under the model node table ET_TABLE1 with cardinality 1:1. Create a value attribute (vaFieldB). For "vnField" create a supply function (supplyfunction). If you goto the implementation you can see a method "supplyVnField(IPrivateCO_ComponentName.IVnFieldNode node, IPrivateCO_ComponentName.IET_Table1Element parentElement)".
    Write the following code in the implementation.
    IPrivateCO_ComponentName.IVnFieldNode nodeX = node.createValueFieldElement();
    for(int i=0;i<wdContext.nodeET_Table2().size();i++){
    if(parentElement.getField3Value().equals(wdContext.nodeET_Table2().getET_Table2ElementAt(i).getFieldA())){
       nodeX.setValuAttributeValue(wdContext.nodeET_Table2().getET_Table2ElementAt(i).getFieldB());
    node.bind(nodeX);
    Hope this solves your problem.

  • HT5312 How Do I Stop email Harassment from same person creating multiple apple Ids?

    Hi,
    I am being harassed by someone who is creating multiple apple ids and deleting them.  The person is constantly trying to get me to click on links.  When I tried to reply to one ID the person created, an error came up stating "this user does not exist" It then provided me with a code for that user.  I believe this person has hacked into my account on multiple occassion because a lot of time right after I change my password, it stopped working again a few days later. 
    I feel I have no privacy.  This person sends all kinds of emails using the names of major brands as the front.  All the emails look cheap and it seems as if it wants you to select the "unsubscribe" button which then phishes my info someone.  Can someone tell me who I can report these emails at apple to investigate?  The would have to know who created the email links, which are used once then deleted, but the person who is doing this is the same I'm certain. 

    Hello ascending404,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the emails you have been receiving.  I would be concerned about this too.  I found a resource that provides some good information about identifying and reporting emails like the ones you are recieving. 
    I recommend reviewing the full article, but this specific section provides steps for reporting these emails:
    What to do with suspicious iCloud emails
    If you receive a suspicious email, select the message text so that it is highlighted. Choose Forward as Attachment from the Message menu (OS X Mail) or the Actions menu (Outlook). Send the email to [email protected] This provides Apple's legal department and law enforcement with useful information to help prevent future phishing emails.
    Note: For suspicious emails related to iTunes, see this article.

  • How can I create multiple versions of a video within the same project?

    OK...this is a probably a very basic question but I'm not sure how to word it clearly.
    How can I create multiple versions of a video within the same project? What I mean is that I have a bout 50 minutes of video and I want to make two DVDs using different clips from this original 50 minutes of footage. It would be a real pain to have to re-import the video AGAIN for the second DVD. I suppose I could drop anything I don't want to burn to DVD back into the clips pane but that would wipe out all my transitions wouldn't it? I want to save each project in their “raw” form so I can burn additional DVDs later otherwise I would just do them one at a time and not care about one of them being destroyed.
    Wow...that was a mess. Does anyone understand what the heck I’m asking? I hope so.

    How can I create multiple versions of a video within the same project?
    You can't. You make separate projects using the same or different clips, segments, transitions, titles, etc. You can even duplicate the first project and then modify/make the desired changes in the duplicated project. Each project can then be burned as a different DVD or as different titles on the same DVD if there is enough room.
