Preserving 16x9 format when exporting jpg

Hi. I am exporting from FCE, still images from a sequence using File/Export/Quicktime conversion and still image or image sequence settings. The project is from HDV and is in widescreen but the exported jpg images are 'tall and thin', indicating it has somehow converted from 16x9. I cannot find any reference to this in the FCE manual. Can you help? (I am UK based, using PAL and capturing the HDV footage using Easy Setup setting HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i50) - Thanks, Max

Why are you exporting image sequences? What are you trying to do? HDV 1080 material is normally squeezed for compression from 1920 to 1440. That's the way the HDV 1080 format is designed so that's what you get when you export an image sequence. If you're going back to video this is the best way to leave your material as it's the least manipulated that way. If you're doing something else then you have to readjust the images.

Preserve folder structure when exporting JPGs?

Is there a way to preserve the folder structure of a catalog when exporting JPGs of everything to a new location? I know there is an option to save the export into the same folder as the original file, but i am talking about a completely new location. That would be really helpful.

Lightroom doesn't support it directly. However, try this plug-in http://photographers-toolbox.com/blog/2009/06/exporting-a-folder-hierarchy-from-lightroom- lrtreeexporter-released/

What is the difference between formats when exporting playlists in iTunes?

The available options are plain or unicode text, XML, M3U and M3U8 when exporting a playlist. Is there a difference in "functionality" of a particular format or is it merely a matter of compatibility with a particular platform or software? In particular I am trying to figure out if a playlist from iTunes would be able to be read and "processed" on a flash drive plugged into a late model car stereo which has a USB port.
MacBook 4,1 (13-inch Early 2008)
OSX 10.6.8
iTunes 11.3.1 (2)

.m3u8 should be the same as .m3u but with slightly different handling of Unicode characters that fall outside of the standard set of ASCII symbols. iTunes can import and export all three formats but .m3u is probably the one your car stereo will be looking for. iTunes will export a playlist with absolute file paths for each track however for your purpose what you probably need is all of the tracks placed in the root of the drive and to edit the .m3u file to exclude all but the filename so that a relative link from the same folder as the .m3u identifies the file.
I wrote a Windows only script for this task a while back, as discussed here: Re: Copying playlist to USB ?

'file could not be written due to an error' when exporting jpg

I'm working with an Illustrator file in CS2 and after a certain point it has started saying 'the file could not be written due to an error' when exporting to a jpg.
i've tried a couple things like deleting layers and although the file is much smaller, it still says the same error when exporting.
at its highest it was 130mb as an illustrator file and jpgs were 2-5mb.
i''ve tried copying some of the layers into a new file but the error report still comes when i'm exporting.
i have vector and raster based data in the file and tried turning off/deleting either of the layers and there is no difference.
i don't understand why it's started doing this because before it had no problem at all exporting before.
ANY IDEAS ANYONE? I'm trying not to have to reproduce days of work to remake the file.
many thanks,
P

Mylenium,
Sounds like you know a good deal about this product. Is there any way to restore a color profile/setting to an earlier point?
I don't recall changing it and to tell you the truth, wouldn't be able to say which it may have been set to before - if different.
Thanks,
Paul

Lightroom 4 - GPS coordinates not saved in EXIF when Exporting JPGs

I have updated GPS coordinates using the new Map module but these are not output with the EXIF when I export JPGs.
I have ensured that Remove Location Info is unchecked.
I welcome any advice
regards
JWW001

As requested I attach screen shots of the LR4 metadata panel after I have updated the coordinates in LR4 and also the LR4 export dialog. Also a JPEG of the exported photo which still has the original coordinates untouched from the camera along with the EXIF coordinates. These are incorrect as the camera hadn't acquired the satellites. LR4 has successfully exported the copyright information.

How can I keep 16:9-format when exporting to the camera

Yesterday happened something, what never happened before:
A movie recorded in 16:9, edited on IM HD6 in 16:9 can only be exported back to my Sony HD-Camery in 4:3. Camera is preset for 16:9. That means, the globe in my movie is becoming an oval! When I imported this "Oval"-Tape back to an new iMovie-Folder, it is again 16:9.
Can everybody unravel that mystery?
Thank you for help.
iMac, iLife Mac OS X (10.4.3) Intel-iMac, Sony HD-Camcorder

Besides starting with a 16:9 iMovie Project you must choose the "Expert Settings" when exporting to QuickTime.
Choose DV Stream. Double check those settings by clicking the "Options" button. This is where you'll find the aspect ratio for your DV file.

Issue in cell format when exporting data to excel

Hello there,
I have an ABAP program that selects data from tables into an internal table and writes the data in CSV (excel) file.
I have a very weird issue when writing the file: The data is written properly, though the dates in my data, which is written in yyyymmdd format, has different cell format in the csv file itself. I'll expain:
Let's say I've written into CSV file a table with name and birthdate, and I have 2000 records. From record 1 to 1475, when I right-click on the date cells in those lines, and choose "cell format", I can see it's in "general" format. From line 1476 on, when I do that I see that the date cells are in format of "custom" with pattern 'yyyymmdd'.
I want all the cells to be "general". How do I do that?
Thanks in advance

Hi Daniel,
Try using these Function Module......................
Before filling final internal table write those condition.................................
Data: gv_date   TYPE mch1-vfdat,
         gv_vdate(10) TYPE c.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL'
       EXPORTING
         date_internal            = gv_date
       IMPORTING
         date_external            = gv_vdate
       EXCEPTIONS
         date_internal_is_invalid = 1
         OTHERS                   = 2.
     IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* Implement suitable error handling here

Setting the default format when exporting to spreadsheet

Can I set the default format to be used when my end users export a report to a spreadsheet? I would like to set the default to Excel (in Office 2003 XML format).
Currently the end user has 7 choices for creating spreadsheets if the selecte the "All Available Formats" option when generating a spreadsheet. Those options are:
- Excel (in MHTML format)
- Excel (in MHTML format for 2000/97)
- Star Office 8
- Excel (in Office 2003 XML format)
- SAP internal XML format
- SAP Standard (internal table)
- Excel (in previous XXL format)
I ran the report SALV_BS_ADMIN_MAINTAIN and selected the following criteria:
1.) Action = create
2.) General Data = ALL
3.) ALV GUI / EXCEL VERSION = Excel (in Office 2003 XML format)
If I examine the table SALV_BS_ADMIN there is a new entry where:
OBJECT = GUI_ALV_XML_VER
M_USER = *
VALUE = 04
When I run a report and export to a spreadsheet I do not see any change in my selection criteria.
I read SAP note 1080608. This note tells you that by running the report SALV_BS_ADMIN_MAINTAIN you cannot set the default value. Is there a report I can run that will set the default value for alll the users on the system?

Hi
You execute the report SALV_BS_ADMIN_MAINTAIN and selected the following criteria:
1.) Action = change
2.) General Data = Detailed Selection
a) Client = SAP client no.
b) User All = User ID
3.) ALV GUI / EXCEL VERSION = Excel (in Office 2003 XML format)
Execute the report and Excel 2003 will be defaulted in export to excel.

Invalid export DLL or export format when export with Crystal Reports 2008

Hi,
     We have an serious issue while exporting the crystal report into excel. We are able to export into all type in our development environment. But when we tried to export from our server all exports working except the excel. However when we restart the IIS the excel export also working for sometimes and again we are facing the same problem.
Development environment:
.Net 2008
Crystal report 2008
SQL Server 2008
+Server Environment:+
IIS7.0 in Classical mode
Crystal report 2008 runtime without any SP
    We chosen Classical mode to avoid the error 'an error occurred on the server. printing will be stopped' after a successful print. It is an known issue and I'm curious to know is there any fix available to resolve this issue. Because we prefer Integrated mode.
    Earlier we dont face the excel export problem and we encountered after the SP3 installation. So we uninstalled it from server and we just installed only the run-time. But still we are facing the same problem. we could not able to conclude the cause of this issue because classical mode may create this issue?
This is a very critical issue to us, so if anyone has the solution please help me.
Thanks

Hello,
Not clear, did you mean when you install SP 3 it worked?
Use Process Monitor or Fiddler to see what is failing. With out an error message or any other error from IIS logs or Event Viewer logs anything could be the cause.
Thank you
Don

Illustr. CS5 Appending -01 onto filenam when export .jpg

Hi, I'm having two really annoying problems when I export images from Illustrator CS5.
Problem no.1
Anytime I export an image file, Illustr always appends -01 onto the end of the filename even into an empty folder. Never had this problem before. I'm on Lion. Anyone think it may have to do with that?
Prob no.2
Also, is there a way to make Illustrator default to having the "Use Artboard" checked the Export dialogue?? It's so annoying having to check that everytime I need to export an image, which for producing comps is ALL the time.

You know what,... you're absolutely right. It wouldn't make sense when there are several artboards. Right now I'm just hammering on this project and the sketch phase is just taking forever, using [one] artboard for each file. Just needed to quickly pump out a bunch of comps. [probably a better way to do it].
It makes sense that exporting artboards should be numbered for you BUT if exporting only one, you'd think the system would be smart enough NOT to throw a number on the end. Whatevs.
I should have thought of this before I posted, but I just remembered I could have been using the save-for-web dialogue. THAT remembers exactly where you last exported to. Yea, Mac has recent places too, shoulda thought of that as well...
Theyve obviously thought this thru more than me... Thanks a million for your help!!

Preserving Folder Structure when Exporting?--A question

A very simple need that I have: I have a Folder in IPhoto on my laptop, left over from a recent trip. The Folder is organized into ten "Albums, which are trip segments. All I want to do is to Export [or Copy] this Folder on an external hard drive, for security purposes and to Import the Folder [and Albums] into IPhoto on my primary desktop computer.
I can export all the contents of the Folder, but I have struggled to find a way to do this that preserves the organization of the Albums inside the Folder. What I end up with is all 652 photos [in this example] in one huge sequential order.
Please advise what I can do to export and maintain the Folder structure. Thanks!!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can connect the two computers so that the iPhoto Library on each can be accessed by the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager (residing on one of the two Macs) and then copy the albums or events, including keywords, descriptions and titles from the laptop library to the desktop Mac.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar.

Preserving AC3 passthru when exporting

Hello all,
I have a movie file, extension .m4v that I made from HandBrake on the AppleTV 2 setting, and the only audio info included in this file is the AC3 passthrough track (which is 5.1 surround). I wanted to set a poster frame for the movie, and I did, but then it asked me to save the movie file. So I did, but the new movie was only in 2-channel stereo. So now I'm thinking I should set the poster frame, but instead of saving, I should export it.
My question: is there a way to export this file and maintain the AC3 passthrough track without having to convert it? Or, a more to-the-point question, is there a way to add a poster frame to a movie file without having to convert the AC3 track into something else?
Thanks for all your help!
Ben

I wanted to set a poster frame for the movie, and I did, but then it asked me to save the movie file.
How did you set the poster frame? How did you "save" the movie? For what use? For example, using QT 7 Pro to set the poster frame (as a referenced movie frame) and then using the "Save As..." option should save all source file tracks in their original compression format to a new MOV file container along with the the correct movie frame referenced as the "poster" image. On the other hand, iTunes can also set a frame of a movie as a "poster" image but stores it differently. Both methods create a "poster" image that can be used by apps programmed to use them. However, an "poster" image created by the latest version of ITunes would not be recognized by the QT 7 Player.
My question: is there a way to export this file and maintain the AC3 passthrough track without having to convert it? Or, a more to-the-point question, is there a way to add a poster frame to a movie file without having to convert the AC3 track into something else?
No. You could, I suppose, remux the source AC3 audio track with an exported video track but the act of exporting the video will, by its very nature, remove your "poster" image/frame reference.

Preserving Folder Structure When Exporting

Hello,
I recently bought a fancy new hard drive and I would love to export my photos onto there. I have lovingly organised my photos within Aperture using its folders, projects etc, however, the same can not be said for the masters on the harddrive which are organised appalingly.
Is it possible to export all the photos while conserving the Aperture file structure, which could be viewed in Finder?
On a sideline, would it be possible to then use the hard drive to use as a aperture library, retaining edits and versions within Aperture?
Thanks for any help,
