New multiple sequence/timeline workflow?

I was used to making different scenes of films as separate sequences and then have a master sequence where I brought them all together.
Now it seems like the best way to do this is with different projects that use the same events? Anyone have a suggestion to a better workflow to do this in X?
I poked around for about 30 mins and came up with that as the best solution...I'm not on my mac now to look more...hope I didn't miss something simple.

Appreciate your help as I feel like a fish out of water.
Serves you right, fishing and all!
[Hunt and I were typing at the same time!]
For my help, I require only a copy of the DVD - I am envious of the guy across the lake that uses what he calls a barrel roll to fly fish from his dock with very little space behind him.  A very cool technique.
Or do I go about it in a smarter way that keeps the sequences apart from each other?
Yes, like this.  You can only bring one in from Premire itself,then bring the rest in from Encore, Make a timeline for each sequence.
BTW, each sequence has 2 encore chapter markers I placed in PP4 (one at the beginning, the other in the middle of the sequence). Is this going to make it difficult to have 10 chapters?
You will have 20 chapters, but you are going to use playlists for the play all, so it won't matter.  Clicking advance chapter on the remote will go to the middle chapter, then to the next timeline (or if in a single timeline action, to whatebver that tijmelines end action is, usually a menu).
My end product menu should have a :
1) Playall option once.
2) Play continuously option (none stop if uninterrupted)
2) Play individual sequences before returning to main menu.
For the play all, create a playlist (not a chapter playlist), and add each timeline, in the order you want them.  The end action of the playlist is to go back to the menu (or whatever you want).
Create a separate playlist the same, but this time make its end action to go to itself (this will loop/play continuously until the remote picks a menu).
For playing each sequence, just link to the timeline for that sequence, and have the timeline end action be the main menu (or chapter submenu or whatever).
Also, how does one create a Main Menu page using a custom background?
Just use a template, then edit in photoshop and replace the background.  (Other techniques also.)

  • Multiple Sequences on same Timeline = Failed Export?

    I'm trying to make a compilation reel - combining about 7 or 8 previous projects into one long timeline - for export from FCP 5 to Compressor2 - to make a m2v. I'm using Best Quality, 90 minute presets.
    The way I laid out the timeline was to copy the squences from all the projects that I needed and the copy/paste, or drag and drop them into the one new
    compilation sequence.
    Problem that I run into is that it fails every time when I try to export using Compressor 2.
    I can export it to Compressor and set everything up to run, and Compressor will start out fine, but then it never finishes - at some point in the process it just stalls and then if i touch anything in the Batch window or in FCP the export willl fail.
    It's only a 1 hour sequence, so it shouldn't be takking 8+ hours to render - it's not like I'm being impatient.
    I've exported lots of other projects with Compressor 2 and FCP HD, so I'm not sure whats wrong/different this time - the only thing I can think of is that I combined multiple sequences in one time line.
    Does anyone know what could be going wrong?
    If the sequences are the problem, what the best way around that?
    Do I just export ref movies for each project and then use those to combine
    in the new compilation timeline?
    I'm going to try to just export a ref movie from FCP and then take that to Compressor, but I have a feeling the same thing is going to happen.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Check the file size. The .mov extension doesn't have a lot to do with it. If it's big, you did a self-contained movie. Or pen it it in QT Player Pro and check the files used - Command-J, Resources tab. Should be just one entry there.
    Pretty hard to do it wrong, just one little checkbox...

  • Different material formats - multiple sequences

    hi,
    new to fcp. i'm editing a project where i'm importing source materials in different formats (different image dimensions, framerate, etc.). if i edit all those clips in the same sequence and then render everything, i loose some of the original quality of the clips (probably the cost of rendering?). therefore i thought i should try creating an individual sequence with settings matching for each clip groups i have. is that the smart thing to do? can i avoid loosing quality when rendering clips from one format to another or is it a normal thing?
    also, when working with multiple sequences with different settings, is it possible to edit them on the Timeline simultaneously? with each sequence in a tab it's impossible to sync and edit clips from different sequences over time.
    will appreciate help!

    hi, thanks for your reply.
    i'm working with material compressed in dvpal, video, animation and mpeg-4 videos/images. i guess i can recapture all the material to the same format if i simply render it under some sequence settings in finalcut (right?), but unfortunately this it screwing up the original quality of the material and some videos and images look much less better after the rendering.
    one more thing, whenever i import a file into the canvas it shows up in it's original size, and i have to shift-click and adjust the display size of every clip... which is annoying and doesn't make any sense. isn't there an option to set the canvas to automatically scale the clip to fullscreen or to the current dimensions settings?

  • Is it possible to export multiple sequences as one FLV?

    My Premiere Pro project contains multiple sequences that I'd like to export to one FLV file. But the Adobe Media Encoder export settings for "range" only has the options of exporting entire sequence (the current sequence I'm working on) or exporting the work area. So I'm having to export each sequence to its own separate FLV file.
    Is there any way to export all of the sequences together to get one FLV file? If there isn't a way to do this, is it possible to somehow join my sequences?

    Sequences puzzled me for a while. Just create a new sequence and then drag the sequences you already have directly from the project window (the icons look like a couple of timelines) onto your new sequence timeline - they then show there as a single video and audio tracks butted together

  • Export Limits for Multiple Sequences in the Same Sequence File for TS3.0

    Hi,
    I am using TestStand 3.0 to a test application. Because we want to have our limits in a csv-file I have tried to use the Import/Export tools in TS. But this application only supports to export limits for the selected sequence (e.g. main, or subseq1) at a time. This makes it a pretty hard job to export limits from 30 test sequences. What I need is a possibility to export my limits from �all sequences� in my seq-file.
    I have found an article on NI Dev. Zone about �Export Limits for Multiple Sequences in the Same Sequence File (TestStand 1.0.x)�.
    http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.DISPLAY_EPD4?p_guid=B45EACE3D9CB56A4E034080020E74861&p_node=DZ52236&p_submitted=N&p_rank=&p_answer=&p_sourc
    e=External
    I have tried to use this code but because it�s for TS 1.0.2 the limits from my multi num test step and my custom steptypes isn�t exported. So that doesn�t fulfill my needs.
    Is there an updated version with �all sequences� added to TS 3.0? Is there other good solutions to my problem out there?

    Hi David Mc,
    Thanks for your reply. I have already considered this solution because the source code is added in the folder described in your reply. But that is not a good solution. It will cost me a lot of time to establish the toolchain, reverse engineer the source code, make the implementations and build a new dll (most off these is already knowledge by NI). And when NI make future releases of TestStand I have some merge work to do every time NI have made some changes in the files I have changed.
    But as I write above: I have hoped that NI already has/or could made a solution like the one to 1.0.2 (see link in root) to me. And then they could include it in the next version.
    I don't think I am the only one in the TestStand world that ne
    ed this feature.

  • Storing Multiple Values in Workflow Attribute

    Hi,
    I got the requirement where i want to store multiple values into Workflow Attribute. Is there any way to accomplish this.
    Thanks
    J

    Hi,
    Do you mean multiple different values in the same attribute at the same time?
    If not, then yes - this is standard functionality. Just use the appropriate API to set the new value whenever it changes.
    If yes, then possibly, but that would be exceptionally bad design. If you want to store different concurrent values in the same attribute, then the only type this would work for would be a text attribute, and you would need to include a delimiter between the values so that they can be stored. Then, whenever you need one of the values, you need to split the attribute according to the position of the delimiters.
    I have no idea when you would have a requirement to store multiple values in the same attribute at the same time - as I said, it is exceptionally bad design, so I'm going to hope that you just mean to hold different values at different times.
    If you meant you want to store multiple values into multiple attributes at the same time, then there are also APIs that can be used to accomplish that. I would not recommend using them, as it makes it harder in the long term to maintain and support the application - having multiple calls is no slower, but makes the code easier to read and understand.

  • Trying to create multiple sequence window

    I'm new to swing, and I have a project in which I need to create multiple sequence frame swing program.
    To give you a better idea, I'm trying to create something that's similar to a self checkout shopping cart expect there is a frame where I need users to login. I already have a MySQL database setup for that.
    Once the user passes the login frame, I need another frame that will show up to displace information, and multiple other frames to come and go.
    I learn really well by examples, so are there any place I can find example of this. Thank you

    What I need is a transition between different layout. I need a layout say a login layout to finish (run successfully) and it transition to a different layout.
    I looked through the totorials and didn't see anything about transitions.
    I don't need need something like a desktop with multiple frames being displated at the same time. I need a sequence of frames
    Ah never mind.. cardmanager is what I need

  • Seeking sequence timeline help, please

    After some CC update -- the audio tracks of video clips aren't staying connected to the video clips in the Premiere Pro CC sequence timeline.  Meaning, if I grab a video clip in the sequence timeline and move it somewhere or cut it -- the corresponding audio track just sits there and doesn't move or get edited.  This results in a new nightmare of having to move the audio and video clips separately on the sequence timeline.  Relative to previous versions of Premiere -- I'd described this problem as all audio tracks not linked to their corresponding video clip.
    Yes, they're all "linked."  That appears to have no effect.
    I'm assuming some new feature was added that I don't understand -- and I'm very, very grateful if anyone can tell me how to solve this issue and get back to the wonderful world of truly linked video-audio clips.
    Thank you.

    The obviouse first question is do you have the "Linked Selection" activated "Y" (its the one next to the horse shoe magnet symbol in the timeline pane). If that's not toggled to on you'll get the behaviour your describing.

  • New Access Sequence for Free Goods Determination

    Hi Guru's,
    I Have  a scenario wherein i have to maintain the free Goods Condition records in VBN1 with a new access sequence namely Customer/Distribution Channel/Plant/material.
    I have maintained all the necessary settings such as Free Goods Activation for Item Category, Assignment of free goods pricing procedure to my sales area,Positioning of R100 condition type in my pricing procedure with relevenat routines.
    At my Sale order level after maintaining the free goods condition record in VBN1 in new access sequence, my free goods determination is not happening and at the sme time if i maintain it in the standard access sequence i.e. in Sales Org/Dist.Channel/Customer/material the free goods are getting determined.
    Can anybody help me out in this..
    Regards
    Bhushan

    Hi
    There arew 2 things to be done or checked
    1. Position your access sequence before the standard one by giving step nos accordingly
    2.In the existing sequence check for the exclusive indicator in the standard sequence and i think that is ticked in your case
    Hence after getting the condition record in the standard sequence the system stops searching for the new records in your new access sequence
    If that is the casethen remove exclusive indicator from the standard one and tick the same in your new access sequence
    By this you can get the condition records of your new access sequence without positioning
    Pls reply whether mu suggestion has helped you

  • Is there a way to select multiple sequences and batch export them using the same settings in CS6?

    I am a current Final Cut Pro7 user and looking to switch over to Premiere Pro CS6.  We edit approx. 100 short (15 sec.) videos daily, and then select them all at the end of the day and batch export them over night using the same export recipe for all. I have having trouble finding an easy way to do this in Premiere pro CS6, as command +E is grayed out if i select more than one sequence at a time. 
    so far, it appears that i have to select each video individually and manually set encoding recipe and export location for each....  Not only would this be terribly time consuming, but it leaves a lot of room for error and missed videos.  I thought i would be able to send all of the sequences to Adobe Media Encoder,  but i dont see that option either.
    Any suggestions/
    thanks!

    Open Media Encoder and add your Sequences:
    File > Add Premiere Pro Sequence
    Navigate to your Premiere Project and select it in the list.
    You can then select multiple Sequences from the Project (Ctrl+Click)
    and load them all at once into Media Encoder and apply
    the same encoding preset to all Sequences at the same time.

  • New Access Sequence for Tax based on material Group

    Hello All,
    Our requirement is that we tax our employees on apparel only if the value is greater than $50.00.
    To achieve this, we created a new tax condition table (953 which is copied from 053) and assigned it to access 09 in the access sequence ZTX1 (created w/ref from TAXJ). We added material group (MATKL) to the condition table and selected exclusion indicator for the access.
    We created the condition record in FV11.
    When we created the sales order, the new access sequence (09) is not being accessed. It gives a message "Access not made (initialized field)" Message 102(VE).
    Please advise if we are missing something.
    Thanks,

    Hi Leela,
    Are you creating sales order in the same system like
    You have created table in Development system in same system your are creating sales order
    If you are creating here you just go to V/07 transaction then slect your access sequence go in to the tables detail screen here you select your table 953 then click on fields here you check all the fields are available correctly or not then save the changes.
    Now try
    or
    You transported these confugaration to other system like Quality or Production here and you are creating the sales order,
    If you are creating here you need to create condition table again then try.
