Pixelpost export plugin for Aperture

I found an export plugin for Aperture to send photos to Pixelpost blogs. I'm posting this here in case someone searches the discussion forums looking for one. The link is:
http://www.pixelpost.org/extend/addons/aperture-pixelpost-plugin/
or from the developer's site:
http://www.macroni.be/index.php?x=plugin
His comments:
"APP (Aperture Pixelpost Plugin) uploads the selected picture from your Aperture library to you pixelpost blog without having to export the picture first, and then uploading it manually."
I've tested it with APP v 1.3, Aperture v 2.1.4, OS X 10.6.1, Pixelpost v 1.7.3. The plugin does work, but when you export more than one photo, they all have identical metadata information. You'll have to rename and retag in the Pixelpost control panel. The plugin also does not remember your Pixelpost login information between sessions. In spite of these problems, it is a useful plugin for us Pixelpost users.

Hey - I downloaded it and sent $ the day he put up the note EXCELLENT implementation, flawless installation and FAST uploading. Do yourself a favor if you're a Smugger. As said above, a marriage of two great products!!

I have installed hydra express plugin for Aperture many time with no success

I have installed hydra express plugin for Aperture many time with no success. When I select edit with plugin hydra, the make an HDR image with hydra appears. When I hit the process button a message states that hydra is not found. I have checked in my application support folder. There is no plugin folder for aperture or a hydra plugin.
Any help would be appreciated.

Plug-ins get installed in one of two locations.
~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/Edit
or
/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/Edit
The second is for all users of the machine and is located in the root folder of your system drive (often "Macintosh HD").
The first is your private library (note the ~ symbol which a shortcut to your user folder) and means the plugin is just for you. ~/Library is hidden by default so finder wont see it. To see it in Finder, use the menu "Go->Go to folder" and type in ~/Library as the folder name. Then you can natigate to /Application Support/ etc....
That should help you determine if it's installed. Note, you may only find an alias in the plug-in folder and the programs may actually be stored elsewhere. Also, if the Plugin can be used for export as well as edit, it might be located in /Plug-Ins rather than /Plug-Ins/Edit
In terms of why it isn't working, I think I may have a clue to what's going on. Sometimes plugins use utilitly shell commands that get distributed with the plugin. These can get quarantined by Macs Gatekeep security because they are not signed by a 'valid' developer.
I've recently taken on the task of making the old Enfuse plugin compatible with the latest version of Aperture, and ran into this gatekeep quarantine issue. I got around it by de-quarantine the required commands and got the plugin working.
For distribution, I've put an AppleScript together which installs the plugin and takes care of the quarantine issue, but I am just (literally today) tesing that on a different machine to make sure it works the same as it does on mine.
If you can first confirm that hydra is installed in one of the above locations, I'll then talk you through how to check if there is a quarantine issue with it.

Istockphoto plugin for aperture 3.0

Has anyone tried the istockphoto plugin in Aperture 3.0. I downloaded and installed the updated one from Apple's website which says it has universal support for 32 bit and 64 bit however when I select export in aperture it tells me it is only 32 bit. I am assuming that means a restart. Does it make any difference?
I have now removed the old plug-in but the new one will not load - any ideas?
Thanks
Emma

Well - we had to wait for 1.1.7 to be available... problem was that while the apple site did say that the 1.1.7 of the plugin was available for download - it actually pointed to 1.1.6... and that is why it was not working...
itoskphoto twited me and said that 1.1.7 was going to be launched at any time now.. (that was a couple of weeks ago)... that meant that it wasn't Apple, it what istockphoto who had switched the binaries as they needed to fix something...
Today I checked and 1.1.7 was available for download (read the message when it installs the the plug in) and tried it out... I must be missing something as it does not work at all for me

Masking plugin for Aperture?

I'm about to buy some kind of masking software.
I've been thinking about Fluid Mask but also Corel KnockOut as plug ins for PhotoShop.
Is there any masking solution for Aperture - like a plugin?

At this point in time there is no way to add new tools to Aperture via plugins. The SDK is for exporting only. Hopefully Apple will address this in a future release...

Iphoto export plugin for simpleviewer

hi there!
i have followed the directions here
http://www.hagus.net/taxonomy/term/14
to download and install the iphoto plug for simpleviewer
( http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer/ )
The instructions say to copy the package to
~/Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Plugins directory
By 'package' do they mean the whole folder called-
simpleFileExporter.iPhotoExport
or the contents folder inside?
or, is there supposed to be an application with its own little icon that usually happens when you istall something?
Also, my ultimate goal is to use simpleviewer's sister, postcardviewer
http://www.airtightinteractive.com/projects/postcardviewer/
so I also need to confirm that the iphoto plugin will indeed work.

Hi Bernd,
the hagus site is wrong about that... I sent them a message but didn't get any answer and they didn't change it...
*Here's the right way:*
Uncompress the file and get the "simpleFileExporter.iPhotoExporter".
2.Go to your application folder, hit ctrl and click on iPhoto
3.Select Show Package Contents
4.Search the Plugins Folder
5.Drop the "simpleFileExporter.iPhotoExporter" into the Plugins folder
Note: if Safari auto-uncompresses this file, it takes you straight to the "Contents" folder. Go to your downloads folder and get the "simpleFileExporter.iPhotoExporter" package instead
6.Restart iPhoto. You will now have a new option available to export your photos when going to File menu and Export.
For anybody else wondering about SimpleViewer have a look at point 3) of the following page

Noise Ninja 64-bit Plugin for Aperture 3

For those of you who rely on Noise Ninja, I figured the community would be interested in the news that they have finished their 64 plug-in for Aperture 3 and are in the final testing phase before release.
I wrote them yesterday, and got the following response:
Hi Kevin,
We will make a 64 bit Aperture 3 plug-in available once we've had time to test the plug-in and installation process. The plug-in is already running. We just have to finish testing and update the web site. I do not anticipate this taking more than a week.
We will provide this release as soon as we can.
I will send you an email as soon as we have our release ready.
Kind regards,
Bill
PictureCode
I have been using their application since 2004, and in Aperture since Apple introduced the plugin structure wit Version 2. IMHO, Noise Ninja is best-in-class, and great folks to deal with.

Exported Interlaced Video by SDK Exporter plugin for premiere pro cs6

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 for Project Setting Sequence is XDCAM HD422 1080i25(50i)
I tested the Plugin AVI(Uncompress) ,output interlaced video OK no problem.
I use Premiere Pro CS6 r2 SDK
I am trying to build a plugin for interlaced video.
Problem occured when I modified by the program below:-
SDK_Exporter.cpp at subroutine RenderVideoFrame
for interlaced video with PrPixelFormat_BGRA_4444_8u or PrPixelFormat_VUYA_4444_8u
and set
renderParms.inRenderQuality = kPrRenderQuality_High;
fieldType.value.intValue = prFieldsUpperFirst;
mySettings->exportParamSuite->ChangeParam(exID, 0, ADBEVideoFieldType, &fieldType);
renderParms.inDeinterlace = kPrFalse;
renderParms.inDeinterlaceQuality =kPrRenderQuality_High;
SequenceRender_GetFrameReturnRec renderResult;
    resultS = mySettings->sequenceRenderSuite->RenderVideoFrame(mySettings->videoRenderID,
                                                                videoTime,
                                                                &renderParms,

    mySettings->ppixSuite->GetPixels( renderResult.outFrame, PrPPixBufferAccess_ReadOnly, &frameBufferP);
In frameBufferP is only progressive frame not intelaced frame
Please advise what should I do in order to get interlaced frame.

Has anyone created a golden ratio plugin for aperture?

Hey there,
Just wondering if anyone knew of an overlay plugin or some other easy method to check the golden ratio against photos within the aperture library. Not that its mission critical to have it within aperture, it's just a pain to export from aperture into another program and back again.

Thanks for the suggestion Thomas but I'm looking for a little more functionality than that. I'd actually like to see a opaque/translucent overlay (just like the guides that already exist in the crop function) that reflects the golden ratio. http://www.digital-photography-school.com/divine-composition-with-fibonaccis-rat io-the-rule-of-thirds-on-steroids I suppose this is something most photographers can eye but I'd like to have the guide there to better understand it.

Adobe creates Lightroom Plugin for Aperture

Glad to see Adobe has created a plugin to ease transition. Guides have been helpful, but aren't as a complete solution as this may offer. Unfortunately, it seems most users can't find a way to install it.
https://creative.adobe.com/addons/products/3213#.VDgVnynCMox
Although if you have hundreds of thousands of images, this may not be up to the task. Lets hope.

There are a lot of complexities, to be sure. I just ran a test conversion on the entire library.
First thoughts? We've been blessed with Aperture these many years. Lightroom certainly has some capabilities when it comes to photo editing, but I can see why so many professionals have held out so long with Aperture. There just isn't a better personal-level DAM. I've been reading a book on Lightroom, and there are several limitations as far as manipulating and cataloging. Definitely some neat features as well, but for the most part, not as versatile as Aperture. I'm going to miss that.
I don't like the folder/collections paradigm. Feel like I'm in a straight jacket. But at least it gives me some versatility. Based on testing, I figure I'll reference my masters as year/project, to provide some organization. More than that, it gets difficult to move around within the browser pane.
The plugin has it's problems, but it did perform better than expectations. Out of 40,000 photos, it managed to import all but 200 or so. Oddly, many groupings the same Aperture project. It did a good job of stacking images, but you don't see stacks in collections! It also did find and migrate a bunch of duplicate JPEG "masters" that were presumably created as I've exported to Facebook and other projects.
One gotcha, you should create full-sized previews if you want those migrated, too.
The faces tagging doesn't work yet. And much of my keywords were scrambled. Certainly can pick up the pieces, but that endeavor will take several hours as well. Lightroom won't make this very easy. It seems a bit more cumbersome to navigate, filter, and sort, but perhaps that's just due to my lack of experience.
I only have 1400 stacks, so I figure I'll create a metadata reference for the "pick", flag them in Lightroom, then go through stacks one by one and restack them. Shouldn't take more than a half a day.
Adobe support and forums just aren't very good. Few people participate, even though there is a larger Lightroom community??

NEED TO FIND MP4 IMPORT AND EXPORT PLUGINS FOR PREMIERE 6.0

DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHERE TO GET
SUCH ITEMS FOR THIS DINOSAUR?
ALSO WOULD LIKE TO FIND OPEN SOURCE ITEMS FOR PREMIERE 6.0
DO THEY EXIST?
WOULD LIKE TO FIND MJPEG PLUGINS AND FX OR OTHER EXPORT FORMAT PLUGINS, OR ?
THANKS FOR THE HELP WES

Wes,
I could be wrong, but IIRC, it was not until PrPro 2.0 that H.264 was added. Check me out on this.
Pr/PrPro uses installed CODEC's. There are three popular H.264 CODEC's, Apple's, Lead's and MainConcept's. Some have had issues with Apple's, but mainly with Export. I'd install one of those, and test. Let's hope that my memory is faulty on version numbers, and that Pr 6.0 CAN use the CODEC, when installed properly.
Good luck, and please report. I would be happy to be proved wrong on this one.

Confused: Simple Export Plugin for several formats and sizes

Hi all,
I'm a bit confused about the Lightroom SDK structure - and the tiny documentation isn't helpfully at all...
I want to create a plug-in which exports several versions of each selected image (JPEGs in original size, thumbnails, etc.), TIFF-Versions, a copy of the Master-Image, etc to a specific directory.
I don't really know where to start - I explored the ftp sample plugin but but I can't find a hint where to tell Lightroom which different versions it should export.
Could anyone help me getting started? Is there anywhere additional documentation - beside the Manual and the API reference?
Thanks in advance...
Jonas

Hello Jonas;
I had a similar need and as far as I can tell, you can have lightroom export only one version of the image, but you can use that image create other versions. For example, I used imagemagic to create two versions of the original image scaled differently, copied them to a specific directory and then re-directed the exported image to another directory.
You may be able to kick off different export sessions with loading different settings(one for tiff, one for different sizes, but I have not done that, and others may be able to give some insight).
I think the easiest way is to use an external tool to generated the different sizes/formats for you and Lightroom only exports one of them, probably the one that is hardest(or needs more manual tuning) with external tools.

Format of file Exported by SDK Exporter plugin for premiere pro cs4

Hi
I am trying to build a plugin which can use a custom codec to export an imported video to h264 format.
The codec which i have to use converts a YUV420 raw video to h264 format. As given in the Premiere SDK Guide
the SDK Exporter supports uncompressed 8-bit RGB with or without alpha, and packed
10-bit YUV (v410). The initial rendering is performed by the RenderVideoFrame() function call which is called in RenderAndWriteVideoFrame().
This is then converted using various calls like ConvertFrom8uTo32f(), ConvertFromBGRA32fToVUYA32f(), and ConvertFrom32fToV410().
The problem i m facing is that i m not able to verify if the RenderVideoFrame() is working correctly and the format in which it writes.
Is there any way to check using any media player that can play the exported video. Unless i know the exact(correct) exported format
i wont be able to convert it to the required YUV420 format that i need.
Also if i dont use the ConvertFrom functions and use only the video stream written by RenderVideoFrame, can u specify clearly the format
and any media player which can play it, so as to check the working.
Thanks
Agam

Zac do you have any charts on what the pixel formats each filter supports?
If you use quirky filters (Adobe or 3rd party) you know they implemented with the mandated pixel format (BGRA_4444_8u) but probably no others. The result is that no matter what the importer/workflow/compiler combo you think you're working in you are forced to use BGRA_4444_8u from that point on in the workflow. - so much for "native" DV, HDV, MPEG2, MPEG4, CineForm, RED, etc etc etc.
Can you provide a list of what PixelFormats the Adobe filters support?
It would great to see it for CS5|4|3 & Prem Pro 2.0*
Eg:     FILTER      PIXELFORMATS
     MOTION     BGRA_4444_8u   YUVA_4444_8u   V410   DV etc etc
     BLUR          BGRA_4444_8u   YUVA_4444_8u   V410   DV etc etc
     XXXXXX     BGRA_4444_8u   YUVA_4444_8u   V410   DV etc etc
     YYYYYY     BGRA_4444_8u   YUVA_4444_8u   V410   DV etc etc
That would be a fantastic table for the user to have. That way you know when you're forcing the workflow from the native import pixelformat type (and colorspace for that matter) back to 8bit RGBA. (and potentially loosing 10bit quality and screwing up the colorspace of rec601 and rec709).
I mention Premiere Pro 2.0 because it was the last version that processed the Timeline single threaded and thus the last version that single-threaded filters can be used on. 'fortunately plugins intended for later versions of Premiere will work with it because Prem Pro 2.0 understands the version 8 API of CS3 and CS4.
For this reason (legacy plugins) I'm in the process of pulling some plugins from CS3 into the Prem Pro directory to see it they work. I'm willing to do that even though the filter I want to use is BGRA_4444_8u only. - the filter is THAT important to me.
Sidenote: this is why I'm SO disappointed with CS5. Forcing plugins to be 64bit has killed the use of hundreds of 3rd party plug-ins created over the last 20 years - many of which are End Of Life and thus will only ever be 32bit. I would have been a lot happier to have CS5 implement proxy editing (ie OffLine editing) and then on Export click a button to use the Online (ie full res) material instead. That feature would have allowed v fast timeline rendering (with or without CUDA) and much lower requirements on cpu/gpu and storage. In the few instances that you need to edit in native 2k or 4k etc then sure do it but I bet 90% of the time you can work in 1080p or lower to get your movie produced.
