Observations about Exporting to SmugMug

This is not about the built-in feature, but about using the plugin, SmugInPro, which supports full resolution desired, and does not result in syncing of albums back to the Aperture Library.
Today I had the rare occasion to upload a very large gallery to SmugMug -- over 400 images. While doing so, I was watching the Acitivity Monitor as this was processing on my nMP. My resolution choice, while a very large file, is not the full size of my images from my Nikon D800, because most clients are not prepared to deal with those. What I was able to observe was that the CPU was very busy during the time that the first 80 to 100 images were uploading, but then afterwards, little CPU % was being used. This suggests that the rendering to the size I selected (fit within 4288 X 4288) had been accomplished by that time, and afterward only the actual uploading was being processed.
This idea suggests that some considerable temporary storage must be involved for the rendered versions, does it not? Assuming so, where is that storage residing? I did not wish to look for it, since my first objective is to get this large upload finished -- still going on, btw.
My Library is Managed, and completely contained on an external, TBolt 4TB drive.

It used to be that the SmuginProForAperture plug-in would render _all_ the images in a batch, and then it would upload them. This has a very large memory footprint for large sets. I don't know that it's rendering them to disk.
I contacted the developer about this because it wasn't ideal, and he said he was going to change it to do in more of an "image-by-image" way. This was a couple years ago, and I thought I recalled before changing to the native plug-in that it was better.
How old is your version of the Smugin Plugin? I had to say that

Can't export to SmugMug due to error message "attempt to index a nil value"

I am trying to export images to SmuMug. I am getting the message that LR can't update files; an internal error has occurred ?:0 attempt to index a nil value. I've tried several times with different folders. About half of the original files exported before the problem occurred. Can someone tell me how to fix this? Thanks.

Here is an update from my original post. I also wrote smugmug and they have never replied; however, I think this has been either a network connection problem or a smugmug bug. Since the first post, I have had AT&T check my modem and they gave me a new one. Even though they replaced it, they did not think I had connection problems and thought my download/upload speeds were at the correct level. I also erased my hard drive and reinstalled my operating system and restored from back up as there seemed to be other issues with my computer. The computer is apparently fine, but before it was all over I bought a new 27" imac. Smugmug has also taken their system down and installed some bug fixes a couple of times lately. In sum, all I know is that now the export to smugmug feature is working fine. To rcheek6: try resetting your modem and see if that corrects the problem. Also email smugmug and see if they'll answer.

Sharing some info about Export dumps

Just to share some info about exports happenig in our system
I have a 20GB Database but the dump size is 10GB it keeps growing..the data too grows but the dump has also getting increased significantly...
Has anyone seen encountered soemthing like this...
Strange but to live with it
Oracle 8i on Win2k

Is this your Production Database? Did you schedule this export? During peak/off peak business hours? Production
Yes
Off Peak hours
Apart from this export, what database backup procedure you have in place? Full Backups/Incremental all in place
You said, you take export regularly as part of procedure. Is this a strange behavior today or did you observe this previously as well??I have been observing since i joined this company.It was 14GB and Dump was around 7 ..now the DB is 20GB and dump is around 10GB
I was just thinkking for a TB database how much the export would be...:)
Adding on i had a 100Gb db generating 8Gb dump...Looked strange..)BUt that 100GB did not have so amny objects like what i have now...
Thanks

Help me please about export file is .wmv

help me please about export file is .wmv from final cut pro
It have black side at right and left in clip when export finished
I have flip4mac program in my mac
How do I edit.

Let me help getting your question back to something we might understand.
- You are exporting your video AS .wmv
and
- when you export it, there are black bars left and right of the image.
How do you fix?
Ok - what was the format of the video prior to your exporting it? When you edited it in FCP, what were the sequence settings? That will help get the right settings for flip4mac.

Frightening little info about Exporting (merging) to usuable audio file.

New to Logic Pro but in great distress over deadline.
There is very little to read in the manual about exporting a project (audio and software tracks) to MP3 or .wav or whatever to send to listeners.
Do I have to get new software for this? The only file I´ve succeeded to make was AIFF (?) and that doesn´t even work in iTunes. Need merging to .wav and then converting to mp3. Can Logic handle this?
Appreciatively
Snöskall

Under the 'File' menu, at the bottom is two options, one is under 'Export' and is to export audio track as audio file (cmd E) or just under export, is 'Bounce' which allows you to bounce down your entire project as an option of file formats, in your case you can bounce down to .Wav.
Hope it helps

I'm looking for a template for writing an eBook in Pages. I know about exporting to PDF but wondered if I needed a specific type of template or another software of some kind. I have an older iBook G4 (and love it BTW) and am using Pages 3.03

I'm looking for a template for writing an eBook in Pages. I know about exporting to PDF but wondered if I needed a specific type of template or another software of some kind. I have an older iBook G4 (and love it BTW) and am using Pages 3.03. Anybody with any ideas on what to od? Thanks

Peter,
does Pages v4 (09) work on a G4 chip? I think I've updated this old Mac iBook as far as it will go. In other words will I need to buy a newer laptop to get the Pages 09 to work and ouput to an eBook? Thanks. Richard

Observation about the rating's location

This is just an observation about the rating's location. Not a criticism... just an observation...
The ratings are located to the rightmost position of a page. If images are attached, sometimes the page is not completely visible and hides the higher rating such as 4 & 5 . If I like a post, I quickly head down to the right corner of the displayed window and go for the rightmost radio button. I nearly gave Altenbach a rating of 2 on one of his posts
[SHAME ON]
I've given a 1 star rating once because the eye was slower than the mouse
[SHAME OFF]
With loss of peripheral vision to the right side, I now have to be 2X as caution when giving ratings...
or I need to slow down when reading posts
Is it possible to move the ratings (1 to 5 stars) to the left, or have it adapt to the right of the active window? not the overall window..
Thanks,
RayR

I wonder how many times I didn't even notice which radio button got hit...
Especially since it does not give the rating right away...

Export to SmugMug from Aperture - all metadata is lost

I've had flawless results in metadata remaining intact using SmugExporter or ApertureToSmugMug until recently. Now all of my exports strip the captions, keywords and even the basics of 'date taken' from my photos when they post to SmugMug.
What is going wrong? I'm using my MacPro, Aperture version 1.5.6 and Tiger 10.4.11.
I read a post while researching this problem about checking a box saying I want to export metadata. I don't know where it's located. I never checked it and I certainly never un-checked it.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks for the response, Vittra. I'm guessing that's a simpler way to fix settings, but I can't check it out right now since exporting does not work in the background on Aperture. This is the method I was told to use and it worked too:
I searched and posted in several forums before calling Apple Support today. I've discovered the problem with that tech person's guidance. If anyone else faces this dilemma, check your settings here:
Aperture > File > Export Versions
Then you get a pop up box with some drop down menus. The top drop down box has 'Edit' at the bottom of its list. Go into there. You'll have several preferences to choose from (file type, dimensions, quality, etc) and there's a tiny box that accidently got unchecked which says something like: Include Metadata.
I can't check it for exact wording because I'm merrily re-exporting right now - Metadata intact!

Questions about exporting PSDS(so as PNG, TIFF with transparency) by AI CS4 and newer

Hello, I've got this question as titled...I stll can't figure it out why.
I'm now using WIN version of AI CS6, and I've used CS4, CS5 before.
Why does AI CS4(and the newers) export transparent PSD files which are always with blank transparent thin border(about 2~3px) line in the right and down side ?
This situation hasn't happened in CS3 and CS2.
The PSD files I intended to export are about A4 size with 300 dpi, sometimes with 150dpi, in RGB/CMYK/Grayscale color modes.
If someone as well-experienced as all you seniors can tell me the reason or even solutions i'll be very thankful to your reply.

Thank your reply first
I totally agree with your opinion, it's really an annoying bug.
I've tried your solutions before but it's still time-comsuming to correct the with/length.
Sometimes I think the new version AI kind of rediculous because it can't export as accurate as the CS2/CS3's exporting, which should have functioned well.
On the other hand, I can also save my AI file with PDF capability and drag it into PS to rasterize, then I can get accurate PSD files.
But save AI with PDF cab. takes much time, even more when there are complex objects (or) with multiple appearance features and occasionally fails to save and get a broken AI file.

I have a question about exporting a short movie to burn on a DVD.

Ok, it's me again. You guys were so much help last night, that I am back for another piece of advice. I have made a short 23 minute movie in Premiere Pro CS3, using 200 still images and some music. I realize that this program is way more than I need, but it is on my computer along with I Photo, I DVD, and I Movie - which are great programs for the quick little thing I am doing, but you can only choose 1 Transition between each still in all three of those programs and that becomes very obnoxious.
Therefore, I used Premiere Pro CS3, but now I want to export it two times - once for a web site and once to burn it to a DVD to watch on a standard TV. Can anyone walk me through that - way, way to many choices and I tried reading the 11 pages in the user manual - it may as well been in a foreign language.
Thanks to all.

Hi,
If you have encore you can use that for the DVD...encore will take care of a lot of stuff for you automatically...
What are your project settings ? eg.... 720x480 progressive, square pixels, 29.97 fps, 4:3 aspect ratio....etc.
That will have a lot to do with how you export for the web...what settings you use..
You will need to know what web based video size you want ( will it be smaller than your project (720 x480 ? ) for example?)
Sooo, do you have encore?
Can you supply project settings and info about what you want the web video to be

I'm now more confused than ever about exporting!

Hi there,
I have only ever exported now 3 movies from FCE to Quicktime for use on the web. Each time I get more and more confused! So I think so far I have just fluked it. I have replicated what I did (the process of exporting) on the last video about a month ago that video was only 5 mins long and took about 30mins to export and ended up being 23.6MB.
That said, this new video took 5 hours to export. Also, the file size is 760MB.
I am trying to export a 14 min FCE movie.
Does that sound right to you?
Using Quicktime conversion.
INTERNET/LAN
compressor H.264
Data rate Auto
compression High
Frame rate current
SIZE
Custom 480 x 270
AUDIO
IMA:41
22.050
What have I missed this time that I must have done last time to get the file size down so much? or if there are any other suggestions on how to export it would be MUCH appreciated.
I have searched forums and watched endless how-to videos on this topic and I just don't get why the file size is so large compared to last time and I am getting more and more confused! I must warn you, I don't speak computer that well and this may be a really stupid question/topic so I'm sorry but, I NEED HELP!
Thankyou in advance!
Alana

It seems as though you are doing things OK from what you describe . . . . apart from the audio.
Maybe you didn't quite set it that way?
Was there any difference in the original video format from usual?
Simply choose Export>Using QT Conversion and select LAN/Intranet, leaving all the settings in their default position.
Make sure the audio format is AAC (not IMA 4.1) with a bitrate of 128kbps.

Sql developer: question about exporting data

Hi,
we're recently working with sql-developer. i've got a question about how we can export query results to txt/csv files for use in other applications.
First a problem: if we start a query that looks like this:
select * from
select * from A where start_date = &date
) a,
select * from B where start_date = &date
) b
where a.name = b.name
Sql-developer asks twice to input a value for the variable 'date', although it's the same variable and it's supposed to have the same value.
We solve this by making a script:
first we define the variable, then we put the query.
When we start the script, the query runs ok and sql developer asks to input the value for the variable once.
But now the result of the query is shown in the script output. The script output seems to be limited in number of lines and difficult to export.
So my question is: what's the best way to export query results to txt/csv files, avoiding the problem mentioned above?
i hope there is a solution where we can use a single query or script.
Thanks in advance!

Using bind variables like ":date" should solve the problem of being asked twice for the same thing.
Executing the query normally (F9), gives you the export options you require through the context menu inside the Results grid.
Regards,
K.

Questions about exporting to full quality?

Hey there -
I just wanted to make sure that if I want to give my friend back a DV file from the converted tape that I choose Export, then Full Quality? I know that creates one file vs individual clips but her tape was one long one, I did chapter markers for the dvd and make splits but I don't think she wants those (some are arbitrary, e.g. the tape was long than an hour so iMovie HD split it into two clips). So, I just want to be sure that that's the right choice for exporting?
And, on that, does that remove transitions or keep them?
Lastly, there is a weird screen in QuickTime in the resulting file. It's a colorblock screen of sorts - a whole punch of pixels (big TV ones, not sure what they are called) in a bunch of colors. It's happening RIGHT at the end of the footage - not thrilled about it but it is the DV file, I guess. Depending on answer to above, I may at least extend the end transition so it doesn't make future editing difficult. Any way to eliminate it from happening?
Thanks for your help -
Alexa

+You should be able to move the cursor frame-by-frame with the arrow keys to get to the precise 'cut' point.+
I know - it's strange but I lost a few seconds of just black screen at the end - I even went back and checked against the actual movie. At any rate, I'm slicing them off carefully and now am adding just a few seconds of still time at the end so it's not an issue.
+What exactly is it that your friends want to do with the digitized footage? I recommend that you make them a DVD of the edited movie, and then export the movie back to the camcorder so they also have a digital mini DV tape of it. This way, they can view the DVD to see their movie and show to others, but they also have a backup on tape.+
Ah, let's see - somehow I've agreed to convert a bag full of VHSC and VHS tapes (and hours and hours of my life for footage that's not even my family!) At any rate, I am giving them the deluxe end product - a customized movie with smoother transitions and chapters, a customized DVD menu with images and chapters (and music, if it fits) and a customized case and printed DVD (Taiyo Yuden printed Watershield DVD). Yes, the works. So, then I told them to buy a external HDD and I would move the resulting DV files to it so they would have them should the ever want to use the footage again (e.g. make an "anniversary" montage that pulls in just clips from their wedding, or a wedding montage for their kids that includes the baby footage that I digitized.) So, they have the VHSC and VHS originals, they'll have the movie on DVD and they were going to have the DV files on a hard drive of the appropriate size. That was my recommendation since the problem was that the tapes sat around in the first place - they aren't going to convert them without help. But, if that's the "best" option for longer-lasting backup, I can offer it to them.
+If this were for your use, I would recommend that you also create a disk image of the iDVD project as backup. ...Because the disk image file is self-contained, you can safely delete the iMovie and iDVD projects without losing the ability to burn DVDs of the iDVD project that is now saved as the disk image. You use Disk Utility (or Toast if you have it) to burn the actual DVD disk.+
That is the best advice I could have received! I hadn't really figured out what I was going to do with the actual iMovie and iDVD projects after I was finished. I was reluctant to delete b/c - ahem - they've come back to me after 2 months of the last project and asked for another copy!!! But, I've already added one external for this, I can't house their memories in various forms forever. So, if I do the disk image, I'll retain the ability to make the disk - that's exactly what I need. I've already been caught once by the dreaded "you've updated the move file" bug once, simply because I had opened the original iMovie project - and I had to build the whole DVD again (and it had 24 chapters!)
Thanks so much for the counsel on the disk image - I had heard about it but just wasn't sure how I should directly apply it to these projects.
Appreciate it!

Question about exporting FBL3N data in Pivot table format

Dear all
I have a question about the "exporting file" function of ECC 6.0.
We started to use ECC 6.0 system, and it appears that we are no longer able to export "FBL3N data" to a local PC in pivot table format.
Is there a way to do it?
We used to be able to do so when the system is 4.6.
I appreciate your support!
Kind regards

Dear:
You can do that. Execute report FBL3N with desired GL account in it. After when report has been executed right click on it. There will be an option Spread Sheet. Select all available format. In drill down select 08 (Excel in existing XXL format) and press OK. There you will get pivot table option for downloading., Hope this will help you resolve your query.

Installed LR 3.2, and export does not show any options for exporting to Smugmug, Facebook etc

I fresh installed LR 3.2 on a Windows 7 computer to try out tethering (which worked fine), but then tried to export the photos, but I don't have any options for exporting to non-harddrive based locations. The "export to" drop down at the top of the export page only has "hard drive" in it. The plugin manager says that plugins for SmugMug, Facebook, etc are all enabled.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
Mike

I found too that the publishing services work differently than the plug-ins. Not as intuitive, but work well just the same, For me I had to do the "set-up" for the Facebook publishing service a couple of times. I think this may have more to do with the Facebook security settings than with LR.
