Online Workflow - HDV & 5D Mark II

Hello all.
I'm trying to work out a new workflow. The main requirement of this is that the FCP documents and media files can be shared across the internet. I am currently using Dropbox for Photoshop etyc work. Sharing the folder with the grapic designer. I would like to do the same with my FCP projects, allowing a potential editor to work from home.
The main issue here is file size. I shoot mostly HDV at the moment and will be adding a 5D into the mix soon. I usually shoot about 4- 6 HDV tapes on any given project, or about 50Gb. Is there a way to dramatically reduce the filesize of this so I can upload it and allow the editor to work on them. The idea being that when the editing is complete that the changes would be applied to the full resolution files. I've used ProRes once but it seemwd to make the HDV files even bigger, so I'm not sure that it is the way to go.
Am I away with the fairies on this one?
Any help and / or guidance would be appreciated.

That might work with photos, but it will NOT work with video. Not yet. File sizes and data rates are too big to allow that. You either need two copies of the media, or you both need to work in the same location.
CLOUD EDITING as it is called, is being developed by Avid. They announced this earlier this month. Where the footage is on a central server, and people can access it wherever they are, as long as they have an internet connection.

FCP Offline/Online Workflow

i am not sure if this is the right forum or even an apple app question (someone direct me to a good sourse if not please) but, I am needing to do offline edit from HDV source and some HDCam source.
Based on my previous method of this in the SD world I would choose the photojpeg codec to save space and then online/uprez.
With HD and a Kona 3 card I dont see HD/SDI (HDSDI) NTSC Photojpeg Anamorphic capture codec. Even when selecting uncompressed HD I get disables view in the capture window so I know that's a card thing but capture the sd downcovert to test the codec I chose the SD Kona I/O and selected the SDI NTSC Photojpeg Ananmorphic codec and instead of reducing the image resolution/pixels and preserving frame size of 720x640 (or whatever is it in cant recall with these numbers in my head right now) its reducing the overall frame size too to like 320x240. i know i can then resize but is there a way to get the HDSDI to low rez photojpeg and not only reduce quality but keep the 16:9.
I tried to adjust the HD codec and reduce quality by 70%...couldnt test cause HDSDI on K3 isn't seeing the sig from HDCam VTR. But the 320x240 would work i just dont want to resize the images/clips.
Anyway, any ideas or help to get me going to capture low rez maintaining 16:9 (with reduced qual through pixels and not frame sizes)for a later uprez. Ive done theis beofre on an hd show about 3 yeasrs agao once, I cannot remember though and it was on FCP too in an offline/online workflow. I think we did it using sd capture from sd source, hmmm with the deck set at anamorphic/squeezed output to ana capture and then it was normal in sequence.
but in this case i am still dealing with small frame sizes 320x240...HELP!

ok, i'll look at the disc's. i think we just downloaded the full codec pack from aja's site..i do know when i check the "show all" box a boat load of codecs show, i believe i've seen one for hd...but any i seen reduced the frame size to something realy small.
i'll double check this new card kona3 and see what it's codec pack is.
thanks and i'll post my findings. geez, this should be simple...go from hdsdi to a low rez codec but keeping the full frame size...that's it done. and then uprez later using dvcproHD (well that's what i am using to save some space and it's a great codec.) but that's how easy it should be...works that way in sd too. i think i need to go in sd anamorphic and set the vtr's output to squeezed...i dunno i'll hopefully find help or figure it out one way or another.
thanks again, keep me posted with ideas..THANKS@!!!!!!

Offline to online workflow in premiere pro

Can anyone tell me how to do an offline to online workflow in premiere pro similar to final cut pro 7? See this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xzOqmQq7bo

Let me know if this makes sense.
Not at all, I'm afraid. By that I mean I understand the process you describe, but not your desire to do it.
You can never get better than the original footage, so transcoding to ProRes after editing makes no sense at all. One might do that before editing if their computer couldn't handle the native media, but...you've already done the editing.
Using Direct Link to SpeedGrade, you can easily work with the original media. This is the faster, easier work flow, and will produce identical end results.

HDV offline/online workflow

So, i've looked and looked but can't find a clear answer to this. So hopefully someone will be able help me out.
1) If I've shot HDV but capture footage as DV (downconvert via deck). Will I be able to recapture final edit as HDV. ie will Timecodes match even though the recaptured stuff is HDV?
2) If the answer to the above is yes will any video effects I've applied to the DV timeline remain on the recaptured HDV timeline? I'm thinking mostly about colour corrections and magic bullet effects that I need to view on a client monitor. (I don't have and can't afford a "real" capture card)
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Dual 2.7GHz G5, 5GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I understand your point and agree. If I could do all the multi layer editing in Prores422 I would.
But the MacBook Pro is not fast enough for ProRes422 Online work with several layers on the timeline…
this is why most of the work will be done Offline on a mbp and finished Online on a MacPro.

Routing documents using SharePoint Online workflows

Hello,
I am trying to design a workflow for SharePoint Online, but have run into a few problems. Basically I need the workflow to work as follows:
1. User submits a document (which is already in a Document Library in SharePoint) to a designated Supervisor for Approval
2. Supervisor receives an email that a document is ready for approval. After reviewing:
a. If Supervisor rejects, the document remains in the original folder
b. If Supervisor approves, the document is automatically moved to a new folder named "Approved" within that same Document Library
I thought there would be a template in SharePoint Online that would offer these features (i.e. the Publishing Approval workflow template I am currently trying to use), but I can't seem to enable an option to have the file automatically directed to an
Approved folder. I have been reading online for the last hour or so and this seems to be possibly using Visual Studios, but I currently do not have that application. Are there any other options available?
Please note - each user has their own "Approval" folder. So, if possible, I would need to apply this as a template to each user and specify the path of the Approval workflow for each user.
I really appreciate any suggestions or advice you could provide.

Hi,
You can create a SharePoint Designer approval workflow to achieve this requirement. In the workflow, on approval, add a step to copy the file to your target location. The following link demonstrates the use of Copy functionality in SharePoint Designer
2013.

Can I use Visual Studio to develop Sharepoint Online workflows on existing site lists?

I've been using Sharepoint Designer to develop workflows in Sharepoint 2013 on Office 365, but hitting limitations. I would like, for example, to be able to trigger a workflow when a list item is deleted.
Perhaps naively I thought Visual Studio should be able to help. I've read of useful things like Remote Event Receivers - sounds exactly what I need. I've used VS before for Windows desktop applications in VB, so downloaded a trial version of VS 2013.
Now I'm having doubts. It looks like I can create a Sharepoint App on a development site and create lists and workflows within it, but I can't access my existing lists to do anything more sophisticated than I already can in SPD. Is that right?
I was expecting to be able to enter my Sharepoint site URL into Visual Studio somewhere, just like in SPD, and do wonderful things with my lists - but unless I'm missing something, that's not possible.
Have I just got it completely wrong??!

Speed up SharePoint 2013 Online Workflows

Hi all,
Is there anyway to speed up a SharePoint Designer Workflow in SharePoint 2013 Online. I am restricted to using SP Designer. If I were on-premises I would throw an app or workflow server at it, but I am online. It is taking 7 seconds for a very simple workflow.
Thanks,
Kelly
Personal Blog: http://thebitsthatbyte.com

Hi Kelly,
Please understand that workflow executes per related timer job. With SharePoint on premise edition, we could go to CA > Monitoring > Timer Job, and modify timer job configuration.
Since the issue you encountered is based on SharePoint online edition, there is no access for client to configure, I’d recommend you contact online support engineer for more assistance. Thanks for the understanding and for your convenience:

SharePoint Online workflows show server error when link is clicked. Cannot terminate them.

This is for SharePoint Online. I have a number of workflows on a list that are in a 'suspended' state when I navigate to the workflows page for the item. When I click the link to view the workflow, I get a server error. I need to terminate these workflows.

Hi,
Based on your description, you want to terminate these workflows in SharePoint online.
You can terminate these workflows by the CSOM implementation through passing the ID of the list and list item.
You can refer to the code snippets below.
// connect to the workflow services via a CSOM client context
var clientContext = new ClientContext(siteCollectionUrl);
var workflowServicesManager = new WorkflowServicesManager(clientContext, clientContext.Web);
// connect to the instance service
var workflowInstanceService = workflowServicesManager.GetWorkflowInstanceService();
// get all instances
var workflowInstances = workflowInstanceService.EnumerateInstancesForListItem(listId, listItemId);
clientContext.Load(workflowInstances);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
foreach (var instance in workflowInstances)
// is this what we are looking for?
// if so, suspend it
workflowInstanceService.SuspendWorkflow(instance);
// or you can terminate it
workflowInstanceService.TerminateWorkflow(instance);
There is a similar case:

'effects shot' offline/online workflow...

Hello all,
I've been working on an effect for a 2 second shot in a short film. The film was shot on digibeta, but for working out the effect in After Effects i was given just the 2" shot i need at DV PAL quality. The director is now happy with the effect and ready to move into the online.
BTW - the effect is a sutble glow and contra-zoom around a man as he sits and talks to a lover about his foreseen death... nothing too hectic.
The online is being done elsewhere and all i have to do is provide this little bit... so, what exactly, is the workflow here? I can get the 2" clip at 10/8 bit uncompressed on a harddrive... So do i simply re-connect the media in the After Effects project to the uncompresssed media and export that for the online? Or, is the colour correction meant to be done first, then i take the clip and apply the AE project to it?
I'm a little confused about the correct workflow between me and the online editor, and how we get this effects shot into the final movie... I really appreciate being pointed in the right direction here.
Much thanks in advance.
J.

Thanks Jerry,
I was thinking along those lines.
So I just need to get the 8/10 bit uncompressed file for the 2" clip, import that into the AE project and re-connect to it, then export as same format, and give that to the onliner.
thanks.

Project Online Workflow not moving forward after approval

I'm building a custom workflow for a Project Online tenant using SD2013 but something is not working with approvals.
In SD I create the workflow with very simple actions:
1. Wait for submit
2. Create approval task
3. In stage transition, if task ended with "Approved", move to the next stage, if not, go to "Cancelled" step
Everything works fine until the approval. I see the task, approve it but then nothing happens. The task appears as "Completed" and "Approved" but the workflow just stays there.
I had this very same behavior on a couple of deployments in the past with Project Server 2010 in Spanish.
The tenant created the Project Web App in Spanish as well. Could this be the cause? How can I correct it?
Thanks in advance.
Rene Alvarez

I am also having the same issue.
The task appears in the list, I approve it, then nothing happens. No error, no feedback, no history list log (I put in a log statement right after the approval task, it never runs), the workflow status page still remains as "Started".
Any ideas?
If online is as slow as processing approval actions overnight, then it is simply unusable.

FCP HDSR Online Workflow

I'm editing a 35mm (2 Perf) feature in FCP using a DVCam offline standard workflow. We will eventually online to HDSR which will then be used to conform the film for film-out.
My question...
It is very expensive to have the post place to the HDSR online, and all they are really doing is capturing the HDSR tapes to the FCP sequence. My producer owns a AJA ioHD box and as u can see, I have a powerful computer.
Could we just rent the HDSR deck, and use the AJA box to online it ourselves. I've heard something that we need an internal RAID or something, and that the AJA box might not be able to handle the 4:4:4 color.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Cheers

1. Yes they are. Does that affect anything in this potential process?
Wait, the DVCAM are 29.97 and the HDCAM tapes are 23.98? Whoa... well, I'll stop you here and say hire someone. Your entire offline cut and all of your footage is in a completely different timebase than the masters. This affects EVERYTHING in the process. Now you have to spit out EDLs and convert the EDLs and then make sure that the captured footage didn't slip any frames forward or back. There's a LOT that needs to be done to ensure that you capture the right footage. This isn't something a beginner should tackle. Pay someone, do it right.
2. Is the AJA Kona 3 a card? I assume 4:4:4 is required?
Yes, AJA Kona 3. And I mentioned 4:4:4 because YOU mentioned 4:4:4. Now, are you going to master on HDCAM? Or HDCAM SR? Well, since your footage is already on HDCAM, the damage is done. HDCAM is 3:1:1...yes...you read right. 3:1:1. So going 4:4:4 is pointless. Best to work 4:2:2 (normal) and then just output back to HDCAM. Except you are going to FILM OUT, right?
Hire someone.
