Older Theme Import?

Since my video is all SD, I plan to use 4:3 rather than 16:9 projects. The 4:3 themes don't seem to have been installed by default, but instead must be downloaded from the internet or installed from the application DVD. Trouble is, the way it attempts to download them uses Software Update, which (correctly) determines that my software is up-to-date and refuses to download anything. When I try to use the application DVD to install the themes to my iDVD 7.0.4, it gives me this error: "This update requires iDVD version 7.0 or newer."
I'm stumped. Any idea how I can get those older themes?

Kool! Glad you got it working.

I'm getting a "No Data From Device" error for older video import

I'm trying to create digital video archives of some older (Hi-8) tapes before they turn to dust. I've got a Sony deck with iLink and have been using iMovie, which is time consuming but error free. I want to use the "Create Camera Archives" feature in FCP X, but am not able to import any video. FCP recognizes the deck, lets me control it and displays video in the capture window. But it does not capture anything - camera archives are empty and when I try to import the video I get a "No Data from Device" message over the import window, as the video is playing in the background. I thought it might be an issue of import settings... but I can't find any to change.
Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Make sure all your settings are correct for capture and playback. Also make sure that the settings on the deck are the same as well. I know I had an issue when my Sony FX1 HDV camera was set to DV, FCP gave a similar error message.

How do I export only certain bookmarks, them import those certain bookmarks ?

I have tons of bookmarks. I have them in certain folders. If you backup or export it backs up and exports all bookmarks. How do I backup or export only certain bookmarks, so that I can import those certain bookmarks on another computer without having to import ALL the bookmarks....??
thanks
ken

You will have to edit all bookmarks to an HTML file and edit that file to only keep the wanted bookmarks.<br />
Firefox still doesn't have a way to only export specific bookmarks.

Is it possible to design a webpage in ID (5.5) them import to DW (5.5)?

I am working on my companies website, despite the fact i am not a web designer. I am a student in multi media, and technically my job is video editing. Just throwing that in so you know how very little i know about web design.
If i could possibly design my page in ID then import it to DW it would make my life very easy. Well thats my theory, i figure people with experience would be able to give me some advice.
Thanks All!!

If i could possibly design my page in ID then import it to DW it would make my life very easy.
If it were that easy, then everyone would be a web developer. So, no, you can't do that. Well, technically you can, but the pages you would get would break unexpectedly on the web. Why? ID is a PRINT application. Your page size is always going to be 8.5x11 or whatever. The web is not so rigid - the page size will be determined by the local browser's default settings, among other things, and these are all things that you cannot control. So ID would take a 'rigid' graphic and create a 'rigid' page, and that page would break on a large percent of your viewer screens.
Unfortunately for you, there's no easy button. This is ESPECIALLY true if you are building your company's public face (the website). Somebody there is sitting on their brains having decided to give this job to a first-timer. But it is what it is.
Do yourself and your company a BIG favor and tell them that before you lay pen to paper (speaking metaphorically), you need to take a break to familiarize yourself with the technology. Then spend some significant time learning the ins and outs of HTML and CSS -

Theme Import in EP6SP9

Hi All,
I have exported few themes from EP6SP2 now I want those themes on EP6SP9. Pl. help me from where I can Import those themes in EP6SP9. Both are different systems, EP6SP9 is fresh instaled.
Regards,
Prakash

Hi Prakash,
Theme Archive is an iView which should be in the "System Admin" role (pcd:portal_content/administrator/system_admin/system_admin_role)
(so Portal Content -> Portal Administrators -> System Administrators -> System Admin)
It's integrated in this role via a delta-link of the workset "System Admin" (pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/administrator/system_admin/worksets/com.sap.portal.system_admin_ws)
(so Portal Content -> Content Provided by SAP -> Admin Content -> System Administrators -> Worksets -> System Administration)
You can check if you are able to find it in the PCD and assign yourself a role that integrates the iView.
Hope this helps,
Robert

Theme Import Error in themes editor.

Hi All,
I am using NW04s SP07 for which I have installed the Themes Editor Plugins.
When I try to import a client provided theme into NWDS (SAP UR Design Perspective), an error pops up:
The Design could not be imported. No portalData available. The stream that should be imported seems not to contain valid design data.
Please help me resolve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Radhika
You have to use Eclipse for theme editing.
You can find the installed eclipse executable along with the NWDS executable at Program FilesSAPIDEIDE70eclipse or You can either download the fresh version from:

IDVD 5 and LOSS of older themes

I've seen some things floating around here about lost themes. Have tried most of them without success.
My issue: I upgraded to Tiger. Then decided to wipe the drive and start over. Copied Users data over to second drive and brought back across after the reinstall.
1. I had previously installed iLife04 and upgraded to iLife05
2. After the wipe and reinstall of the OS, I had to reinstall iLife05. I opened up a recently created DVD and had used a 3.0 theme (never having iLife03) with the error "cannot find theme - family"
Actually, none of the 3.0 themes are available.
I've trashed 05, reinstalled 04, upgraded to 05, updated 05 and still, no 3.0
themes.
THEY HAVE TO BE SOMEWHERE!
Still have the old "Users" data on the second drive, hoping that something is there for me to get these themes back.
Any help would be appreciated.

Iphoto'11 new slideshow theme importing to Aperture3

I'm using Aperture3(of course, i've upgraded it to ver 3.1.3).
And i also finished to install iphoto'11.
But I can't use iphoto'11's new slideshow themes(like places, origami...) on Aperture3.
they are not in the list of slideshow themes.
i know they are supposed to be added automatically when i install ilife'11.
What's the problem on my mac?
Plus, I'd installed ilife'11 with installation DVD. is it a cause?
One more question. After installing ilife'11, there's still a purchase button on Mac app store.

Hello Mazza,
I would recommend rebuilding the iphoto library with this article:
iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638
If your version of iPhoto is 9.3 or greater, follow the library first aid options at the bottom of the article.
All the best,
Sterling

Error while importing the theme in the portal

Hi All,
When iam trying to import one existing portal theme, iam getting the following error.
Exception caught during theme import: java.lang.IllegalStateException: "portal.zip" does not exist !
Portal.Zip file exists in the theme zip file.
Please advice.
Thanks
Sekhar

Sekhar,
1.Please check for the portal.zip file in the theme.zip and ensure the size of this file to be around 100KB or more.
2.Also, try deleting your cookies and temp files before doing this process again.
3. Download these themes and see if it works.

How do i import old iWeb themes to the latest version of iWeb ?

I just got an iMac. Ive done this prviously on my macbook but totaly forgot how to do it. Help

Are you sure you're referring to iWeb and not iDVD? IDVD does have older themes that can be installed separately from the application. iWeb has all of its themes inside the application itself and adding additional themes from 3rd parties require an installer that can modify several files inside the application as well as place the theme files where they need to go.
I don't remember any themes from the older iWeb being dropped in the latest version.

After upgrade will older iDVD themes still work?

I currently have iLife 05 Installed with all themes from iDVD 1 to 5. Will these older themes still work after an iLife 06 upgrade?

Hi AIR, and welcome to discussions!
Yes, in iDVD 6 are included the old themes: from iDVD5, 4, and 22 themes called "old themes". I don't know if those are all of the ones from 1 to 3, but looks like.
Anyway, you can keep for some days both version 5 and 6 of iDVD if you rename iDVD 5 with a different name (like "iDVD 5") before installing version 6.

Theme editor doesn't show - DesignManager must not be null error

Hi,
I'm experiencing problem with Theme Editor & default portal themes. Problem was probably started by importing custom themes from older version of portal (current configuration is NW2004 SPS19, Java stack). After entering System Administration / Portal Display, theme editor doesn't show up and defaulttrace contains following error:
#1#java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: DesignManager must not be null.

I've tried many things - delete custom themes (at first from Theme Archive, then from themes Integrity browser (...irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.themes.integrity.browse) and finally I've found traces in the filesystem (I think it was .../irj/root/portalapps/com.sap.portal.design.urdesigndata/themes/customer)). So there should be no trace of custom themes in the system (as suggested in thread Theme Editor no showing content.), but the problem remains.
And there's more I found. We have 2 same systems installed on one server (both have own Oracle database+NW 2004 SPS19). The other portal works fine and without any problems, even with the same themes imported - it didn't create any error so I wonder if the problem doesn't lie somewhere else.
One more thing I noticed, which is different among these two portals, is the bahaviour of default themes - when I start ...irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.themes.integrity.browse on both portals, the one which works, has also its and portal subnodes under every theme from SAP. On the other portal, only one theme shows all - the sap_chrome. Other themes contain only ur subnode. I've tried to compare filesystems of both portals (but only directries which I found through search for "sap_tradeshow"), but I haven't noticed any differences. What else could be different?
I tried many things, but without any effect. Could anyone help me, please? I'm running out of ideas and thinking about reinstalling the portal, which isn't prefereble solution.

Hi,
It's really hard to say, where's the problem. I think you should reinstall it..., probably some components of your EP wasn't installed correctly.

Problem Importing Importing Avid Mov File Into FCP

Hello all,
I had transitioned into this issue off an older thread I had, with a different topic. So I figured it was smarter to just make it it's own thread, since it's become it's own issue.
I am editing the core of a project on Final Cut Pro 6. A portion of the footage that was shot for this project though, was captured on a PC into Avid Media Composer 3.0, and therefore, converted to MXF format.
I am running both Final Cut Pro 6 (FCP 6) and Avid Media Composer 3.0 (AMC3) on my Macbook Pro, so I was able to import this MXF footage into AMC3. That was the easy part. The hard part, has been knowing how to properly export it, so I can then, properly import it into FCP6.
Important detail about the FCP6 System Settings:
- *The sequence preset is DVCPRO HD - 1080p24*
In the Avid, when I go to export a small 1 min clip (as a test), these are the Quicktime options I am given:
Fast-Export Quicktime NTSC
Fast-Export Quicktime PAL
Make New - QuickTime Reference
Pro Tools QuickTime (ref)
QuickTime Reference
Quicktime Reference DV Codec
Send To QT Movie
None of them were seeming to work. I was getting this message:
"Long GOP media can not be exported using same as source. Please select a custom resolution or transcode to an I-frame only resolution."
*Send To QT Movie* seems to be the only one that works. But I then had to go in and customize it, making my own Saved preset for this.
I've now so far tried this with 4 custom presets, and while all of them are able to export and play / look fine on my desktop..... none of them import correctly into FCP6. They'll play as clips... but completely stuttery and unusable. I'll then drop them into a sequence, and they'll play for about 3 seconds and then I'll get this message:
"Warning - Dropped Frames
One or more frames were dropped during playback.
If this occurs frequently, try:
- Turning off 'Unlimited RT'
- Lowering your compression data rate.
- Closing open sequences.
- Lowering the preference for real-time audio tracks.
- Increasing the speed of your system and/or disk drives and/or network connection."
Now, I've also gotten a message about the projects needing to have the same capture preset, but I can't replicate it at the time of this post. Though, I'm sure this is probably the root of the problem.
Here's why: In AMC3, with my custom export preset, I notice that Avid supports the DVCPRO codecs, but doesn't have the exact one I'm using in FCP6.
Here's what I have in my AMC3:
DV/DVCPRO - NTSC (this is the one I'm using, and have tweaked the frame rate to 23.98)
DVCPRO - PAL
DVCPRO HD 1080i50
DVCPRO HD 1080i60
DVCPRO HD 1080p25 (this one is close...)
DVCPRO HD 1080p30
DVCPRO HD 720i50
DVCPRO HD 720i60
DVCPRO50 - NTSC
DVCPRO50 - PAL
Now, you'll remember that my sequence preset in FCP6 is DVCPRO HD - 1080p24.
Because this doesn't exist in Avid, I went with DVCPRO HD 1080p25 and just customized the frame rate to 23.98.
Still no cigar though.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I should further customize the Avid codecs? Or is there even a way to just download more Avid DVCPRO codecs so I can find one with 1080p24?
Sorry for such a long post. I like to be thorough.

Hi Kyle,
Just some more backstory:
This was a two day shoot.
- One Day 1 of the shoot (Saturday), we shot with the Sony camera, on Sony DVC tapes (MiniDV). This was about 20 gigs worth of media shot that day. That footage was later captured onto an Avid MC 3.0 in MXF format. (I still have it all raw on my passport drive if you need further info about those files)
- On Day 2 of the shoot (Sunday), we got the camera we wanted all along for the shoot -- the Panasonic HVX200. Therefore, all of Day 2 was shot on P2 cards, converted on a Macbook Pro, and then put onto an external harddrive. This was about 80 gigs of media.
Right now, when I watch the Sunday footage (Sony) on FCP6, I do indeed see faint horizontal lines on the canvas, when free-framed and at 100%. They're not terrible... but they're there. (I'm not great at this, so if you need total confirmation, I can upload you a large rez screenshot so you can decipher if the interlaced lines are there)
Now, I just checked this out on the Sunday footage as well (the Panasonic P2 card footage which wasn't converted, but imported directly into FCP6, without need for the Avid as the middle-man), and I see the same faint lines on this as well.
Both pieces of media (the original Panasonic footage and the converted Sony footage) are at 29.97FPS. Both are at the same Compressor now (DVCPRO HD 1080p30) per your instructions . Meaning, the Pansonic footage brought into FCP6 had that as a preset from the moment I installed the program and was asked to choose my project settings..... and once you explained to me how to look for this, I then sought to match it on the Avid end, and changed the EXPORT settings on the Avid files to that codec.
So both sources medias match now in FCP6. They also play now without stutter.
But they both do have those lines. Albeit, faint, but I'm concerned about them now.
So I think this definitely has to do with my Final Cut Audio/Video settings:
My Sequence Preset is: DVCPRO HD - 1080p24
My Capture Preset is: 1080p24 48KHz
Should the Sequence Preset be changed to p30?
And if so... will I then have to recapture all the Panasonic footage back in? (I'd lose all my log notes and shot names).
Or, can I just delete the two timelines, change the sequence setting, and then redrag them back in?
Thanks for all your help, Kyle.
