  • Metadata features in filter?

    As I may see there were some discussions about keywords and filter organizing, but still some points are not clear for me. Could anyone explain: is there a possibility to make a search through metadata (other than Ctrl+F) by including any metadata properties to the filter? For example, i work a lot with PDFs and want to search by Author(s) or Copyright or other properties from metadata, the same as i do by keywords. May i include Autor (or other features from metadata) to the filter list? one solution is to include authors' names to keywords, but may be something more smart?
    thanks in advance,

    There is a lot of confusion on the Filter function.  The filter only works on the folder displayed on the screen.  THe Filter choices are supposedly generated according to the images displayed.  So your best bet would be to have the desired metadata displayed in the metadata panel and see if the filter categories will reflect that.
    Filter will order the thumbs on the screen, while Find will find images across folders and display results.  In addition Filter can only use one criteria at a time, while Find can search with multiple criteria.
    Hope this helps.

  • Best practice in writing xmp metadata?

    I know to switch off the 'automatically write to xmp metadata' feature. But, after doing this, what is the best way to ensure the xmp metadata does actually stay up to date?
    My understanding is that by switching the automatic writing back on, LR goes through the whole catalogue, comparing the data in its database with the data in the xmp files, and every time it finds something different, it copies from the database to the xmp. However, there would seem to be two problems with this. i) it's extremely slow, because it's such a big job, and (b) presumably any changes made elsewhere, eg in ACR, will be overwritten.
    The alternative seems to be to right click on the folder while in library mode and select "save metadata". However, for some unknown reason, this is unbelievably slow. What prompted me to write this message is that nearly an hour ago, I did this with a folder of 78 files, and it's still churning away. In that time, I've had time to log on to this forum, read a few messages, do a search to see if there is anything helpful, and then write and edit this. I don't dare try this with the folders I have with three hundred photos in!
    The LR catalogue is in a partition with hardly anything else in it, on a different physical drive from LR itself. It gets defragged more frequently than the defrag utility thinks it needs to be. During metadata writing and many other operations, the CPU maxes out at 100% yet only about 75% of my 1GB memory is used.
    Is there anything I can do?
    I'm on an old-ish PC and am not in a position to upgrade (please - any messages just saying I need a newer computer are not going to be any help :-) ). Any other help would be appreciated.

    Thanks, Mel. You just posted as I was writing the previous message!
    I think you nailed it. The 78 pictures, I did by right-clicking on the folder name in the right-hand fly-out panel in library and selecting 'save metadata' (hope the choice of words here is clear!). I've just tried the ctrl-a, ctrl-s technique you describe, and it whizzed through a folder of 127 photos in no time.
    So, you're right - there appears to be a bug.
    One more problem - there was an error in saving to the tifs in the folder. A separate problem which I'll look at tomorrow.
    Back to the other part of my original question. What is the most efficient way to keep the xmp data up-to-date? Considering that there's massive scope for human error in having to remember to save manually all the time, this can't, surely, be the best way to do it. What do people generally do, and has anyone evolved a 'best practice'?

  • Save metadata in LR - degrade JPEG image quality?

    Hi:
    Does anyone know whether using the 'save metadata' feature in LR to save changed metadata to a JPEG file will result in a resaving of the entire file and/or otherwise degrade the JPEG image quality? 
    If it does not degrade the image quality, how does this feature work?
    Many thanks for the help

    Each pixel remains unchanged in this process.
    I was under the impression that any re-saving of a jpeg image results in a slight loss of quality, regardless of whether there have been changes to the image
    This is true for other editors, such as Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, but it is not true for Lightroom because, as explained, LR does things differently than other software.

  • Desktop Integration Suite Feature

    Hi All,
    We have user requirement where in when user drags and drops a file in UCM using DIS from Windows explorer, metadata screen and the file that is dragged in should open side by side so that user can look in the file and input the metadata fields. We can make metdata prompts but file does not open(i think file is not in UCM yet). Is there any setting in UCM or DIS where file opens along with metadata when user drags the file?.
    Any help in this regard is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    There are two ways that you can try:
    1) Try ODDC. It seems exactly what you need considering the Xerox example you mentioned. You will need to write a mapping of ODDC vs UCM metadata.
    In ODDC, you can scan or import files from a location, to create a batch. Users then click on the batch - to see ODDC metadata & the batch pages side-by-side.
    User fills in metadata and then submits the batch [*INDEXING*]. The batch then gets checked into UCM, based on defaults/metadata mapping set in ODDC.
    You can further write a custom UCM checkin filter to take control of metadata/security that gets applied on the checked in file.
    2) Use DIS latest build. in Content Info page, provide a link to view the web-viewable file in the Preview Pane itself.
    Users can then right-click and use the new "Update Metadata" feature. (However it has a bug that it updates the Release Date!!!)
    I recommend first way. And indeed, the Kofax is market leader in this category but over-kill for sporadic usage.
    With ODDC, you can also write integration very easily using .VBS scripts that can be hooked at various events inside ODDC. We wrote one that uses IdcClientUX.ocx to talk to UCM, while document is being INDEXED
    Our users are loving it, to say the least. It's fast and easy to deploy for new users/workstations as it web-based.

  • Radio Industry Intro & Sec Tone Features

    Does anyone know how to set up Audition CS 5.5 to use 1- Intro Tone and 2- Sec Tone  / Radio Industry?
    Thanks
    Kate

    Agreed. Our station was one of those using 1.5 then we recently upgraded to 3.0 and loved it however, there was a an issue with licensing, that is way above my pay grade to know about, and were upgraded to 5.5. The nice addition to 5.5 is the Metadata features for our traffic, prod, and even digital services department since they use Adobe Creative Suite. Although, we are already missing the CART info support. Our automation system has an intro and segue editor but, AA3.0 allowed to get extremely accurate with our tones and as a Top 40/CHR format is critical to our sound.

  • Searching custom metadata

    Hello all,
    I have logged a bunch of footage using Adobe Prelude CC and have tagged my clips with custom metadata on ingest.  I can search for and filter my clips as expected within Prelude but, upon sending the clips to Premiere I loose that ability.  I can see that the custom metadata has indeed transferred over to Premiere via the metadata window but I cannot search and filter as expected.
    My two thoughts are I have either logged the clips metadata incorrectly (I used the new CC custom metadata feature on ingest) or I am searching via Premiere incorrectly (through the search bar in the top left of a given bin window).
    I am very new to Premiere having jumped ship after a long love affair with FCP 7, so you will have to excuse me if this is a simple case of user error.

    Unfortunately, that is just not a work flow that I use or am familiar with.  I don't think I can help much with this specific problem, but maybe with a work around.
    My own view is that Prelude has very limited usefulness for a single editor.  Using only native media, without transcoding, I don't think there's anything Prelude can do that PP can't do itself, so I just don't see the purpose of a single user spreading the work out between two different programs.  Where Prelude makes sense is when you have an assistant editor, who can make selects and rough cuts in Prelude for the editor who does the real work in Premiere Pro.  With two people working, then it makes sense to spread the load out to two programs.
    The point I'm working towards is why not just add your keywords right in Premiere Pro?

  • Importing cube views metadata

    Hello,
    I have a question about the data modeler "import > cube views metadata" feature:
    It imports from an xml file. Is the definition of the xml schema available somewhere? My customers use a custom built repository for dimensional modeling. I'd like to generate the xml from this custom repository metadata so that I can import it into Data Modeler.
    Thank you,
    Beatriz.

    Hello Beatriz,
    I cannot point to xml schema definition. Cube Views is replaced by other product in DB2 9 Data warehouse edition. There were other products claiming support for that meta data format. You can try with them or with DB2 9 DWE.

  • Parent (Global) and Current (Navigation) on the Same Page

    Hello,

  • Possible Media Encoder CS5 BUG???

    Since the Media Encoder has no "official" home that I could find on the forum I thought this would be the best place to post this since my videos are exported from After Effects.  If it isn't the correct location I apologize.
    Here's the issue:
    When I encode an H.264 (.MP4) video from a .mov file with Media Encoder CS5 the Data Size and Data Rate attributes do not show up in the Apple QuickTime Movie Inspector.  I can convert the exact same video with the CS4 version and it shows up.  I've made sure I have all the same settings selected on both versions.  I have noticed on the CS5 version there is a new Metadata button next to the "OK" button.  I looked at all the properties in there and did not see any feature to enable data rate and data size as if those were metadata features rather than something QuickTime calculates.  It must be something that the encoder includes onto the file after compression is complete.  Otherwise, why would the Movie Inspector not display that information for only MP4's created with Media Encoder CS5?  This is important to me because I put a lot of videos on the web and data rate is extremely important in this process.  I've noticed the data rate I specify in the encoder is slightly off from the number I see in QuickTime so I consider QuickTime's number to be more accurate.  It would be nice if you could view video properties with the Media Encoder like you can with QuickTime.
    This is the setup I've tested on:
    Worked
    Windows XP AND Windows 7
    Adobe Media Encoder CS4
    QuickTime Player v7.6.7(1675)
    Does Not Work
    Windows XP AND Windows 7
    Adobe Media Encoder CS5
    QuickTime Player v7.6.7(1675)
    The process I use each time I compress a video:
    A .mov file is handed off to me by one of our "video guys" who uses After Effects
    I import the video into Adobe Media Encoder CS4 or CS5
    Apply my settings and compress the video
    After compression has completed, I play video in QuickTime and view Movie Inspector.
    Maybe I'm over looking the setting on CS5 to enable those two features.  There's not a whole lot of documentation on this product.  Any assistants would be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Eric

    Tim,
    Thanks for logging the issue and giving more insight!  I tried to research what version of QuickTime I have but couldn't really find a definite answer.  I'll take your word for it that I have the 32-bit version.  It looks like there is a 64-bit version out there but only for Snow Leopard I think (QuickTime X).  Not sure when that will make it to the Windows world if it is true.
    If there was some type of "movie inspector" built into AME that would completely eliminate my need for QuickTime.  But, I'm sure it would be much easier for you guys at this point to add those two changes to the process already in place that talks to QuickTime.  I will definitely put in a request or two for features.  I think AME is a great tool now and could also become much more.
    If you ever need a tester for newer versions of AME, just give me a shout.
    Thanks,
    Eric

    Hi Adrian,
    Is there any documentation on the XML required to create your own
    measures and filters at the universe level in a SAP BI universe?
    [http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_sap_olap_universes_en.pdf] has some guidelines.
    SAP BW InfoCubes as data sources
    - Remote InfoCube: While fully supported, building and deploying universes on remote InfoCubes is not recommended for ad-hoc query-, reporting-, and analysis-use scenarios. Such architecture is generally not expected to meet query performance expectations with interactive queries.
    - MultiCubes and Multi-InfoProviders: Building and deploying a Business Objects universe on top of a MultiCube or Multi-InfoProvider is identical to building and deploying a universe on top of an InfoCube.
    SAP BW Queries as recommended data sources
    - Not all BW metadata features can be retrieved on an InfoCube level
    - BW Queries offer a flexible extension to the data modeling environment.InfoCubes require more effort to change.
    - BW Queries offer significant functionality to create customized data sources that meet end-user requirements.

  • Adobe Prelude - Red Rocket Support

    Hi everyone,
    My company and I are trying to implement Prelude into our workflow. Primarily, we shoot w/ a Red Epic and currently are experimenting w/ batch transcoding camera rolls through Prelude using the Adobe Media Encoder dynamic link.
    The question I have is this: can Media Encoder take advantage of our current G5 tower's Red Rocket card to speed up the transcoding process, and if so, how do I select it (i.e., if available, where in Prelude/Media Encoder's interface can I find this feature?)
    I know this type of question has been asked before--specifically,
    here: http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?66229-Should-Adobe-Media-Encoder-be-using-Red- Rocket and
    here: Re: How to turn over RedRocket Control to AME from Premier?
    ..but no true answer has been given regarding this specific workflow.
    I know Red Rocket acceleration is possible in Premiere (and that the Red Rocket card can work w/ only one program at a time)--but what about batch transcoding R3D's in Prelude through Media Encoder. I'd prefer to not use RED-CINE X as we're interested in using all of the XMP metadata features in Prelude.
    For reference, the machine I'm running is the following:
    MAC OS X Version 10.9.4
    Processor: 2X2.26 Ghz Quad--Core Xeon
    Memory: 32 GB 1066 Mhz DDR3
    Mac Pro Era Early 2009
    Red Rocket Card (firmware 1.1.17.3) 
    Adobe Creative Suite CC 2014
    If anyone could advice, it'd be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    John

    Yes, you can use the Red Rocket to speed up encoding in AME, but it probably won't do you much good in your specific case I'm afraid. Here's how the workflow would go:
    1. Select RED files for ingest in Prelude
    2. Specify destination location and preset
    3. Start the batch
    4. Once AME is open, stop the queue that has started automatically
    5. Right-click on a job and choose "Source Settings"
    6. Enable the Red Rocket
    7. Go to step 5 and repeat for each job in the queue
    As you can see that would be a lot of work for what may be minimal gain depending on how long it takes to encode the media with the Red Rocket turned off. Where this workflow really excels is when the source in AME is a longer form sequence such as a Prelude rough cut or a Premiere Pro sequence. I could certainly see adding a global option to always enable the Red Rocket for RED sources, but that would be a feature request, which you can submit here: Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
    I hope this helps even if it isn't exactly what you were probably hoping to here.

  • Is Lightroom a viable tool to manage video assets for Premiere Pro?

    I'm trying to determine the easiest workflow for cataloging and importing DSLR video footage for my video productions.  Generally, I simply drag my video footage from the memory card over to my RAID array and store the footage in a subfolder named after the date it was shot.  I'd love to be able to use the metadata features of lightroom to help catalog my vast library of footage.  Currently, the only way I have it organized is by date and then by Premiere Pro project.
    Does anyone use Lightroom for video cataloging?  I know it is possible, but I have found little info on whether this is a common workflow. 
    I'd like to avoid using a different third party cataloging system, so if any of you are using lightroom for your premiere pro cataloging I'd love to hear your advice.

    +1 on the very slow green drives
    for Adobe you never want an ATI card
    nVidia is Cuda enabled and off loads some of the load to GPU.
    with upcoming CS5 and the Mercury engine you have very very few choices. all are nVidia
    285
    and higher Quadro series. (which give no absolutely no performance gain over the 285) in fact most of the quadro are based on the much slower 260.
    nVidia managed to get Adobe to agree to this can you guess why?
    hopefully before release they will at least support the 295 and (doubtfully the 260)

  • Anyone moved from Bridge to Lightroom?

    I read Adobe's product info and some topics in this forum. However I wonder if anyone has used Bridge a lot for photography and has now moved to Lightroom (or tried and went back) and why. I'd rather hear a short review from you than from Adobe (pro, contra compared to Bridge). Also how do the two work together, I'm reading a lot about lost Camera RAW adjustments.
    Thanks and if you have a good link to a topic that already covers this, could you post it? I couldn't find much. Sorry if this is asked frequently.
    What I understood so far is that Lightroom is better as a database for lot's of photos because it copies them to the hardrive. It also seems to be better for presenting pictures to a client because it can be costumized visually (logo etc) and doesn't have non-photo features clustering up the screen. But is that all? Are the metadata features identical?

    Hello T-
    The thing to understand about Lightroom is that, rather than trying to be a total replacement for Bridge/ACR/Photoshop, it's a new approach to managing your photographic workflow, especially to those of us who primarily shoot in a RAW format. I specify that, because there are many programs that do what Lightroom does for jpeg and tiff files, but Lightroom shines among RAW processors and the concept of non-destructive adjustments to RAW files. It also does non-destructive adjustments to jpeg, tiff and psd files, but at first look, I think most people using those formats will likely think "I can do more in Photoshop". In fact, though, Lightroom incorporates more "image management" tools than Bridge, such as collections, that might make it more attractive to many users.
    Bridge has a more "seamless" connectivity with Photoshop and other Adobe apps, but for most of your work Lightroom's Export and PS Edit functions work just fine. The two functions that you might resort to Bridge for regularly are Bridge's HDR handshaking with Photoshop and Bridge's Panoramic stitching handshaking. Lightroom at this time doesn't manage those operations and, in fact, can't deal with panorama pictures with dimensions of greater than 10MP in either dimension.
    Other than those specialized functions, Lightroom is great for organizing and basic processing of your images. For RAW, I don't know of any other program that has so much functionality, although I gather Apple's Aperture is similar (I'm not a Mac user).
    The main complaints about Lightroom are 1) as a new application it has noticable bugs and 2) it lacks some important features, requiring a lot of users to resort to Photoshop or some other external application to "get it right". Yes it's a new application, both issues are valid, but still it is well worth delving into and learning the workflow. You will find yourself turning to Bridge less and less, and the Adobe team will provide us with updates as they are able that address pressing issues.
    Tony
