Migrating to FCS from another DAM tool

Hi all,
I'm looking to purchase an entry-level asset management and video editing system for use at the nonprofit I work at. We'd like to start with a simple setup, experiment a bit, and take it from there. I've had a bunch of experience with Final Cut (both Express and Pro), as well as Adobe Premier and a bit of Avid too. Given our cost limitations, I'd like to start us out on Adobe Premier Elements 8, mostly because it comes with the Elements Organizer for easy asset management; tagging of photos, videos, and rating as well. However, I don't want to lock us into a system that will be hard to migrate from, should we choose to do so.
My question is: if we were to purchase Adobe Premier Elements 8 and organize our stuff in the Elements Organizer, would it then be difficult or impossible to easily migrate to something like Final Cut Server? More specifically, would I lose all my tags, ratings, and other metadata?
Thanks,
Matt

Final Cut Server can import metadata from XML files, from the command line, or embedded in files.
So if you can export the metadata from Elements Organizer in a format that you could then wrap into an XML file or put on a CLI command, then you could do it manually. It will be time consuming though -- depending on the number of assets, your programming abilities, and value of your time, it may be easier to just start with Final Cut Server and not worry about trying to migrate things.

  • I migrated a user from another mac and cant get any updates to install!

    Hi
    I migrated a user from another mac and cant get any updates to install, for example it says iPhoto is intalled but its not, i never copied it from the older imac, and i cant download it to this one now
    any help appreciated

    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • Since I migrated my files from one Mac to another and am now running Yosemite, Photoshop Elements 9 (adequate for what I do) is not showing the previous functionality on some of the tools. I have uninstalled/reinstalled twice to no avail.

    Since I migrated my files from one Mac to another and am now running Yosemite, Photoshop Elements 9 (adequate for what I do) is not showing the previous functionality on some of the tools. I have uninstalled/reinstalled twice to no avail.  Is there a fix? Also, when I tried to update, it comes up with this error.

    I have a similar problem. I found out that my macbook air created a new USER with my former's computer user name. You can check that by going into System Preferences -> User & Groups, and see if a "Other user" has been created. You have to login under this new USER to find your transferred contacts in the address book.
    My problem is that I do not know how to merge the 2 USER logins or transfer the data from the new USER created into the existing one.

  • Migrate JOB objects from datastore to another

    Hi all,
    Please, how can I migrate JOB objects from datastore to another ???
    Edited by: omar.elid on Dec 6, 2011 12:29 PM

    If you are talking about changing the connection / source target database in multiple environments, you can have multiple data store configurations.
    You can right click a data store, Edit , Advanaced , Edit. At the top, you have Duplicate configuration / Create New configuration.
    Create multiple configurations as per multiple environments and set the Default to "Yes" as per your environment.
    For migrating jobs from one repository to another.
    In Designer, go to Tools>Export
    In to the "Objects to Export" window, drag and drop the objects that you want to export from the "Local Object Library".
    Right click on the export window and choose Export. Give the database credentials of the Target Repository (repository into which you want to export the objects). Click Next, change the Target status of the dependent objects to "Exclude" if you do not want to migrate them.

  • Migration from another CMS – how could be done, what can be re-used?

    Hello,
    I am discovering Webcenter Sites, and would like to know if there are standard tools to migrate from another CMS (e.g. UCM):
    – how could be done, what can be re-used?
    Thanks in advance,
    Vince

    Could you describe in more details what exactly you need?
    a) In Oracle there is an organization called Migration Factory which can do the work for you - if it is a one-off task, I'd go with them, or with a partner.
    b) You mentioned UCM - does this mean that you have a Site Studio website(s) that you want to migrate to WebCenter Sites? Why, and why just now? You could probably live for few more years with Site Studio - I believe that very soon Sites and Content will much more integrated and the migration will be much easier.
    c) I'm not sure if there is any tool for migrating templates, but I'd definitely try to leave the content (images, videos, documents) in UCM - at the moment, Sites integrate with other Content Repositories (MSSO, Documentum), so UCM will hopefully be added soon.

  • How do I get rid of the Microsoft Setup Assistant loop? I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word, and stuck in a loop?

    I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word (for 2008), and stuck in a loop?
    Whenever I select Word Microsoft Setup Assistant appears, asks for feedback, then after selecting okay (both on saying yes or no to feedback) goes on to a registration page. When I click on this it says I've already registered so I just click okay, and then move on to a update page. After this, if I click on Word, the process repeats itself.
    As I said, I don't have the disk to reinstall, and can't find the Office Settings to delete as many pages have suggested I should try. Safe Boot restarting also hasn't worked... Really stuck and need Word very soon for work.
    If you can help, that would be great, and feel free to ask any questions about the situation as I'm not an expert here.
    Cheers,
    Jack

    First, export your contact from iCloud.com and save them on your computer in a safe spot some where (like you desktop).  Use this to help you do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
    Next, on both of your devices, go to Settings > iCloud and turn on contacts and select Merge. Then turn off contacts and select 'Delete form my [device]' when prompted.
    Now go back to iCloud.com and select a contact (yes they will all be messed up again) and select Command+A on a Mac or Control+A on a PC to select all of the contacts.  Tap the delete key on your keyboard (or right click /control click a contact and select delete).
    You iPhone, iPad and iCloud.com should not be empty for contacts.
    Go back to Settings > iCloud on both devices and turn on contacts again (you should not see merge this time).
    Next, go back to iCloud.com and import your contacts (those exported .vcards).  You can either drag and drop them into the empty contacts list in your web browser, or you can use the gear icon to import.
    You cleaned up contacts should import correctly into iCloud.com and sync to both of your devices.
    Good luck.

  • How to migrate the data from DB to another DB

    Hi folks,
                 In my project I have one requirement. Let me explain in detail we are maintain two databases one for
                 master database called *GIIS* and one is history database HIST. Both DB version is 10g R1.
                 (Both DB’s have same no table as well structures)
                 1.  The GIIS database contains nearly 400 tables (master table as well as temporary table)   
                       each Master table having it’s own temporary table.
                 2. Whenever we made the entry first it will go to temporary table after authorized that entry it will move to the master table
                 3. But the temporary table contains the data after move to master table .
                 4.     The temporary table data’s will be move to the HIST database each and every day at the night.
                    This migration we done through the procedure.  After migration complete the temporary table data’s will de deleted.
    My Question:
               1.     Whether it’s good practice to migrate the data from GIIS DB to another HIST DB using oracle stored procedure.
                     (we created the DB link from GIIS to HIST) 
               2.     If not can any one suggest me the way to migrate the data from GIIS to HIST.?
               3.     Is there any other possibility to migrate the data from GIIS to HIST with out using procedure?Thanks

    Hi Mr.Aman Brother
    First of all sorry . I am not saying that don't command my requirement. Just i want know the way of migrate the data from one DB to another DB.
    you saying that IMPORT/EXPORT is one of the way to do migration.
    But in client side they don't know how to do the IMPORT & EXPORT the database..
    Can you suggest me the another way to do that
    Arun,
    If the client doesn't know how to do exp/imp, I would really doubt and would be immensely concerned before suggesting the client any other way. If they don't know, tell them that there is a concept called test database which is used for learning so they should invest time to learn this technique since the other options suggested by fellow members are far more tougher than this one.

  • Best Practice for Migration of BO  from one server to another

    Hi All,
               I would like to know what is the Best pratice for Migration of BO from One server to another.
    i have Installed BO Xi R2 on my server.

    You need to copy your input and output file stores from the old server to the new server. By default these are located in the <Business Objects install path>\FileStore directory.
    Then you need to stop the CMS, Right click the CMS,Click the Configuration tab, and then click Specify.
    Choose Copy, then click OK.
    Choose the version information for the source CMS database.
    Select the database type for the source CMS database, and then specify
    its database information (including host name, user name, and password).
    Select the database type for the destination CMS database, and then
    specify its database information (including host name, user name, and
    password).
    When the CMS database has finished copying, click OK.
    Once this process has been completed start the CMS and click on update objects -> located on the top of the CCM.
    I'd advise taking full backups beforehand.

  • Using the eyedropper tool to take a color from another file or website...

    Hi,
    I'm new to Kuler, but recall being able to use the eyedropper tool in InDesign and click on an area of color from a file from another application or a website and have use it in the InDesign file.
    Am I incorrect?
    If there is a way to do what I am asking if you could please explain how I'd really appreciate it.
    Thanks and look forward to hearing back from you soon.

    Not sure what exactly you are asking here.
    However, wrt Kuler in Indesign, You can add swatches to Indesign Swatches Panel. You can apply color to ID Fill/Stroke color by simply double-clicking a color on Create Tab inside Kuler panel. Or you can take color from Fill/Stroke and set it as base in Create tab to create theme around it

    I think the OP is saying OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mountain Lion and earlier (which should be a link to HT4889) just links back to OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks (HT5872).

  • SSIS - Migration of attachments from one project to another project in Quality

    Hi All,
    I would require some technical help on SSIS, which
    requires migration of attachments from one project to another project in Quality
    center.
    I have tried various possible ways of migrating the
    attachments. But only the icon appears with no file present.  This is stored as
    a system file hence requires migration of the files as well. Therefore I would
    like to know if there is any way to solve this issue.
    Please refer site as well for reference .
    Thanks in advance .

  • Import Wizard vs LCM for Migration of BO from one server to another

    Hi Experts,
    Can anyone highlight the differences between Import Wizard and LCM (in terms of migrating/deploying BO from one server to another)?
    We are currently using BO XI 3.0, which does not support LCM. I'd like to know if LCM has enough advantages to justify an upgrade to BO XI 3.1.
    Any advice is much appreciated.
    Linda

    Hi Tim,
    Thanks a lot for your reply. May I have a follow-up question?
    For my client, the following deployment activities are necessary:
    1) From Development server, to one Test server containing 2 separate sets of objects - one set for SIT, the other set for UAT.
    Object (Connections, Universes, Webi reports) names in Test server will be different from those in Development Server due to the existence of 2 sets of objects on the same server.
       a) For SIT: Universe A on Development server -> Universe SA on Test server
       b) For UAT: Universe A on development server -> Universe UA on Test server
    2) From Development server, to Training server.
       Same object names will be used in Training server.
       E.g. Universe A in Development server copied to Universe A in Training Server
    3) From Development server, to Production server
       Same object names used in Production server.
    From the above, there will be 4 rounds of deployment. Is Import Wizard sufficient? Or is LCM still the better option?
    Thanks in advance for your advice.
