Moving Subtitles from one project to another

To make work on a project more efficient, we started a project on one computer with only the film track for subtitling, whilst authoring the DVD on an other computer, another project.
So, how do we move the subtitles created in one DVDSP project into another project?
I cannot see that the subtitle stream creates its own asset, which could be imported into the authoring project, and DVDSP refuses me to copy the subtitles to past them into the "real" project and I find no export options which seem to apply.
Humbly seeking help.

Sorry Per - there is no direct way of moving the subs from one project to another, or exporting them directly as an asset. The very best advice is to construct subtitles outside of DVDSP as a text file which you can then import, edit, alter exactly as you want. I suspect it's beyond that point for you now, though!
However, if you use the app 'Subtitler' then you can export an item description of your DVDSP track and extract the subtitles from it in STL format.
Another thing to do is to export the track from one project as an asset and import it into the new project, but then replace the video and audio elements with the correct pieces that you need to use. It's a lot more messy than simply having a text file for the subs, but could get you out of a hole.

  • Moving photos from one project to another

    So, I'm painfully new to aperture but I was under the impression that if I drag and drop a group of photos from one project to another, it would MOVE the photos to the new project (as described here: http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=5%26sec tion=14%26tasks=true). When I do this, the images remain in the original project and it does get added to the second project (in an album under the new project). When I try to delete them from the original project, it also deletes them from both the original project and the new album in the new project. When I "Undo" the delete, it restores the photos to both the original project and the album under the new project.
    Am I missing something?

    The problem is you are dragging them into an Album not a project.
    If you drag them into the project they will be moved. If you drag into an Album they remain in the original project as well as appearing the album. (in the album they are really pointers back to the originals in the project)

  • Moving Titles from one project to another

    I want to combine several iMovie projects into one, in order to create a single DVD via iDVD. The projects are fairly simple - no music, just video, dissolves, and some text.
    When I select all, and then copy and paste from one project to another, the titles do not transfer. The background for the titles - i.e. black spaces - do transfer, but not the text. It seems there's no simple way to move titles from one project to another. Is there a solution or workaround, or do I simply need to create new titles in my new, combined project? Thanks.

    The simplest way would be to use multiple movies in iDVD. iDVD handles multiple movies easily and will help you set up a menu if you want. Just share your movies to the Media Browser. Then open iDVD and drag them into your iDVD project from the Media Browser in iDVD.

  • Moving Files from one project to another??

    New to Aperture ..and wondering is there an easy way to move files from one project to another? Or to move from one Album one project to another Album in another project if the Albums have the same name?
    thanks in advance,

    Yes, simply drag-and-drop a thumbnail from a Project to another Project; or Option-drag-and-drop (one way copies the image, the other way moves the image).
    Or to move from one Album one project to another Album in another project if the Albums have the same name
    Although Albums can be located in Projects, Albums are really not "in" Projects as regards where the images come from. Each album is simply a virtual collection of pointers to images; the images pointed to can be located in multiple Project(s). So just drag-and-drop a thumbnail image from any project to an album to add a pointer for that image to that album.
    Although it seems complex it really isn't. Albums are a very powerful organizational tool with essentially zero overhead. Try it. Create some test albums in various ways just to see what happens and delete the albums when you are done. Since Albums consist of just "pointers" we can make/delete them at will for any reason.
    Note that Albums can be deleted with no warning message because Apple figures a simple collection of pointers is not that big a deal. Personally I think Album-deleting should have a (non-dire) explanatory warning message, because sometimes an album can consist of a complex collection of pointers.
    Multiple Albums should never have the same name.

  • Moving image from one project to another

    Hi all. I'm sorry if this is simple to do, but I can't figure it out. I have recently purchased Aperture 3 and am trying to figure out how to move an image from one project to another. I had several photos on my camera, and imported them this morning into it's own project. Now, I would like to take some of those photos and put them in my "family" project, and some into my "dogs" project, etc. When I open up the new project, I can't find where I can move them to another project. I have to assume this is doable, but I can't figure it out.
    Thanks in advance.
    Dale.

    Sorry to be a complete idiot, but here's my issue. When I open the original project, and then find the image that I want to move, I am unable to see any other projects (in browser view), so I have nowhere to drag them to. I hope that makes sense and you can help.
    Thanks again.
    Dale.

  • Moving table from one project to another project using metadata.

    I have exported metadata of one table from project owb_demo and I want the same table in project Owb_demo_1 by importing the metadata. I am newbie . When we export it even store project info like owb_demo . How to change this things in metadata. When I try to import it gives error saying table already exists.
    How do we migrate objects from one project to other using import and export of metadata.
    thanks

    Hi Vix,
    Regarding using multiple enviornments in OWB there is a case study on "How to manage multiple versions of BI implementation". You can find it the OWB case studies on the net. This guide is a useful one.
    One more thread you can look into in this forum - " How design with OWB", the link is below:
    How to design inside OWB
    Still if you want some specific explanations regarding this, better start a fresh new thread.
    Hope this helps

  • Moving pages from one project to another??

    I only keep one website per iWeb project. How could I copy a couple of pages from one iWeb project and move them to another.
    Given I can only have one iWeb project open at a time.
    Is such a thing possible?
    Ben

    you can use iWebSites: http://mistergregg.com/cocoadrillosoftware/iWebSites/
    to merge the two projects then drag the wanted pages from one site to the other site.
    be sure to make back up of your domain.sites2 packages before the merging procedure.
    however, if those pages happen to be blog entries or podcast entries then you are pretty much out of luck because there is no simple way to merge them.

  • Library corruption after moving images from one project to another.

    Hi,
    I have Aperture 1.5 running on a PowerMac G5. I'm using an external disk (via FW800) for the library. The disk catalog has no problems.
    Today I want to reduce the number of projects and move a few images between projects. There is one project with a few hundred files where I wanted to move a large subset to another project. I selected the images in the source project and dragged them onto the other project. Some processing happened and after a few seconds I got a dialog which said that some problem with the library happened and that I have to quit Aperture and restart Aperture with control-shift-option. There was only an okay button and the next (same dialog) appeared... and again/again... Finally I was able to quit Aperture and restart Aperture.
    After restarting Aperture several images in the source project were grey with a question mark and a link icon in the lower left.
    Looks like Aperture cannot move images reliably between projects. That would be a huge bug.
    Regards,
    Rainer Joswig

    Hi Rainer,
    Have you tried again to rebuild your Library
    (Option/CMD on relaunch)? THis might fix the grey
    images in the souce location. Where the images which
    were dragged to the other Project OK? What hapens if
    you make an adjustment on one of the grey images?
    Does it render the thumbnail?
    Also, check you task manager to make sure it's still
    not trying to render the thumbnails. Though, it's
    most likely not the case given the question mark on
    the image.
    I did the library rebuild now. The problems seem to have gone.
    Then I also copied a few more pictures between projects. So far
    the problem has not shown again.
    Best Regards,
    Rainer Joswig

  • Moving Composition from one project to another?

    Hi
    Is there any way to move a Composition from Project A into Project B with all it's layers,Keyframes etc...?
    I'm using AE CS3 ... never had to do it before ... but never say never hey?
    Thanks for the help
    Lee

    You might also want to do a Reduce Project on that composition, then save the project under another name, prior to importing it into the second project.

  • Moving clips from one project to another

    having clicked 'import' and selecting a project to import i get a 'parse' error. I've no idea what this is or what to do about it. Any help greatly appreiciated
    chris

    Here is one option to copy the whole "flattened" iMovie timeline to another project:
    You can use the Timeline Movie.mov as an input for another iMovie project:
    - Copy the Timeline Movie.mov outside the iMovie project package.
    - Then open the copied Timeline Movie.mov in QuickTime Player Pro and enable ONLY the High Quality flag (otherwise the input will be deinterlaced!): In QT 7 you do this via enabling "Window/Show Movie Properties/Video Track/Visual Settings/High Quality" setting -- do not enable "Single Field" or "Deinterlace" because they deinterlace playback. You can also set "QuickTime Player 7/Preferences.../General/Use high quality video setting when available" to check the "High Quality" box by default (notice that the "Single Field" or "Deinterlace" boxes may have been saved to the file so sometimes you must take care to uncheck them).
    - Then import the copied and High Quality -flagged Timeline Movie.mov to iMovie via its File/Import... command.
    The import process may take a while if the project is long. Notice that the import is one big clip and you have to manually split it into scenes.

  • Moving images from one library to another; or how to have 2 libraries open at the same time in Aperture 2

    This may be something easy but for some reason I am having a hard time figuring this out. Basically this is the situation: I have a library on my MBP hd that I import pictures to when I am not hooked up to my external hd for the time being. The main library is of course on the external 2tb drive. How do I have 2 libraries open so that I can essentially drag and drop the pictures from one library to another? It would basically be like moving files from one project to another. Thanks for any help!

    Always keep a backup of your original images, before you delete them. I make a backup right form the card, before I even import them to Aperture.
    How are your images stored right now? Are the referenced or managed? On your big volume I'd consolidate the newly imported images, to be sure they are really inside the Aperture library before I delete any images outside the library.
    but they have the little yellow triangle caution symbol on them and I can see them but not really edit them
    That is a very typical problem, when you imported your images as referenced images then somehow delete or move the original master image files, that are stored outside the Aperture library.
    Do you still have the original masters of the images with the yellow triangle that you cannot edit? In Aperture 3 you can point Aperture to the location of the master image file "File >Locate referenced image" - probably Aperture 2 has a similar command to let you reconnect your masters, if you still have them. Look into the manual.

  • Moving a Clip From One Project to Another

    How do you move a clip from one project to another keeping the sound clip and title that was used on that clip?

    As far as I can tell, you can COPY all, or some, of the video clips (and stills) with transitions and FX and PASTE into a different Project. But you can't copy titles or audio tracks.
    However, you can make a QT movie of the segment you want and import it. If it's short use 8-biy uncompressed or ProRes 422.
    Or you can DUPLICATE what you need, and and new clips to the duplicate.

  • Can't MOVE images from one project to another: must not understand

    Greetings,
    I have two questions as a result of aperture not working the way that I have read on forums etc. and am wondering what i am doing wrong
    1) How do I MOVE images from project to project without duplicating masters or versions
    2) how do I delete versions
    All of my files are referenced.
    *1) moving from project to project*
    I have a blue folder called "NEFs." In it, I have a default project where I just dump all of my images called "00 dump." After I dump them, I organize into other projects. So, I do the following:
    • I create a new project called "2008 Thanksgiving" inside the NEFs blue folder making it a sibling to "00 dump"
    • I go back to "00 dump" select all the images that were shot over thanksgiving, and drag to the "2008 thanksgiving" folder. The images transfer fine, but when I go back to "00 dump" I see that the images have NOT actually moved, they are now sitting in both projects. How can this be? I thought that if I move images from project to project then I am actually moving the master, not replicating a version? That leads me to my next dilemma
    *2) how do I delete versions?*
    Now that I have replicated photos in my "2008 Thanksgiving" project, I want to delete them since I see them still sitting in "00 dump." I do the following:
    • select the "2008 Thanksgiving" project
    • select a number of images
    • press command + delete (this is the only way to delete a file as far as I can tell
    • popup comes up explaining that if I delete this file it will delete the master too and the reference file. So, that's exactly what it does.
    Deleting the referenced file is fine for many junk images, but in this case, I just want to delete the copied version that seems to be in two projects now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would really love a full understanding of how this structure works.
    -i

    When you drag images and the drop target is an actual little yellow project box (not a folder, and album or anything else) the images move from one project to another, if your drop target is not the actual project but something else within another project all you do is cause the version to show up there, nothing is duplicated.
    To delete a version or versions selected just use command-delete. This gets rid of the actual version not just removes it from the current album view. If it happens to be the last version of that master it will get rid of the master as well.

  • How can I move a photo from one project to another

    How can I move a photo from one project to another without creating a duplicate so I have the same photo in two projects.
    I seems to me in the past when I moved the photo from project 1 to project 2, I would get a number showing the # of photos being moved and you could drag and drop in the 2nd folder and the photos would disappear from project 1 and show up in project 2. is there a setting I am missing.  Now when I drag and drop the photo no red # shows up and the photo stays in project 1 and also shows up in project 2 apparently creating a duplicate.
    Any suggestion?

    Now when I drag and drop the photo no red # shows up and the photo stays in project 1 and also shows up in project 2 apparently creating a duplicate.
    The projects are the basic containers.  Each image and all its versions are in exactly one project.
    You can use an image in many albums, without duplicating it, also in many products like books, screensaver, slideshows.  But the projects are the basic structure of the library and you cannot have the same image in two different project, without duplicating it by storing the same original image files twice. Use albums to organize your library thematically.
    Sorry, I misread your question.   Dragging an image file between projects should move the image and all its versions to the other project.  Aperture should only duplicate the image, if you hold down the alt/options key while dragging and move the image otherwise.
    Which Aperture version are you using? And which MacOS X version?  Is your profile signature "MacBook Pro with Retina display, Mac OS 9.2.x, Aperture 3.5.1" still valid?
    In Aperture 3.6 on MacOS X 10.10.1 dragging between projects is still working as expected:

  • If I move a picture from one project to another in aperture why doesn't the jpeg change folders if all my pictures are referenced?

    I started importing all my pictures into Aperture and have been debating whether to use a managed or referenced library.  I'm leaning toward referenced, but before import everything that way, I do a couple of "test drives".
    In Aperture, I moved a photo from one project to another expecting that the jpeg in finder would move from the original folder to the new one, but it didn't.  Anyone know why?  Is there a way to make this happen?  Is it bad that I want this to happen?  Should I just use a managed library.  I like having control of the actual files (thus wanting to go with a referenced library).
    Any thoughts?
    Mark

    In Aperture, I moved a photo from one project to another expecting that the jpeg in finder would move from the original folder to the new one, but it didn't. 
    Mark, Aperture does not store the originals organized by project, but by the date of the Import Session. So moving an image to a different project will not change, were the original file is stored.
    This has a big advantage for backing up the originals. If they never move or change, you do not have to backup the originals other than directly after importing, if your library is referenced. And even incremental backups of a managed library are quicker.
    Is there a way to make this happen?
    You can always use the command "File > Relocate" to move the original files anywhere you want.
    Is it bad that I want this to happen?  Should I just use a managed library.  I like having control of the actual files (thus wanting to go with a referenced library).
    If it is bad, will depend on why you want to have control of your originals. If you just want to know where they are, it is o.k., or if you don't have enough space on the drive with the library and need to split the library across several drives. But it would be bad to move, edit, or access the referenced originals in any way. Let Aperture do the handling,  or you will be risking broken references.
    Aperture has several buil-in ways to show you the original: The "M" key will switch the Browser to the original, "File > Export > Original" will give you an exact copy of the original, or you can relocate the file to another folder.  I simply open the aperture Library in iPhoto, when I want to view my managed originals. iPhoto has a command "File > Reveal in Finder > Original" that will show you also the managed originals in the "Masters" folder inside the Aperture/iPhoto Library package.
