Problem importing a project

I created a project with 802 images on my MacBook Pro. I rated, keyworded and made adjustments to those images. When I returned home, I exported the project (just the project, not the referenced masters)and imported that project to my iMac. I also copied the masters onto the iMac. The import completes successfully, but I got a warning message that there was a database inconsistency. I restarted Aperture and did a consistency check. I no longer get the error message. However, Aperture only shows previews for 199 of the 802 images. When I show the package contents for Aperture, the project is there and all of thumbnails and previews are present just as they are on the MacBook Pro. I cannot figure out how to make Aperture show all of the images. Any ideas on how I should proceed and how to get all of the images into Aperture?

Thanks! Now the frustrating thing is that the client doesn't want to use what I created after all...bah humbug
It's not the RAM (which is either 8GB or 16....not sure on that computer). Got an e-mail from Boris Support that implied that this will happen all the time...that you have to export all projects before you use them in FCP or DVDSP or the Continuum filters won't work (loved how the support person suggested that I just use the filter in FCP...which defeats the purpose of creating something in Motion! But I digress...) Told me I had to buy a $500 program called Automatic Duck to get things to import properly...and that Boris filters won't work with the latest upgrade of FCP, btw.

Problem importing Motion project into FCP (images 'wobbly' and 'jaggedy')

I'm at wit's end here. I did a short 10 second intro for a press reel in Motion that is pretty basic and looks good in Motion (it's just images from the show flying across the screen, with a cloud emitter as background). The problem is that when I import it into Final Cut Pro, the images get all jittery and wobbly. It looks as if they are going in and out of different interlacing stages, which makes no sense.
The images were taken from the theater's website, and I have have tried them both in JPG and PSD formats. They are all being scaled down from the original size a touch after I import them into Motion (would that be the problem? Didn't think to try that...). As I said, they look fine and clear in Motion, but when I export into a Quicktime movie or render it and play it back in Final Cut Pro, they get all jaggedy/wobbly (for lack of a better technical term). Stills exported from the Motion file look fantastic in Photoshop (and in Final Cut Pro when I use them as background) but a paused image in Final Cut Pro looks very jagged.
I've tried everything I can think of, and even upped all the render settings in the project, to no avail. Any ideas/suggestions?

Sure. I'm uploading two files. One at www.jonathanfrank.com/FCPTest.mov, contains two 10 second movies back to back. The first clip is the project I created from scratch, the second clip is a test I did using a Motion template that I was 'inspired' by. Both were exported from Motion w/Field set to 'none' and export settings set to 'animation' Both looked pretty good when the exported file was opened in Quicktime. I imported the files and rendered them in FCP (and noticed that Field got set to Low/Even along the way somehow) and then exported them into Quicktime via FCP.
I also am uploading the original file of my project that I exported from Motion to see the difference at www.jonathanfrank.com/poetintro1.mov
Due to the size, it's not as easy to see the 'jitter' It was really noticeable when I imported the Travel template sans photos (so you just saw the grey "replace here" images with the circles and grids). It looks passable in the movies, but when Printed to Video, played in FCP (or played in the full-sized format in Quicktime) it's a lot more obvious what I'm talking about.
Basically, the motion just isn't smooth. It's very jagged and jittery, and the definition is dreadful.
Thanks for all your help and interest, by the way. And hope this

Problems importing IOS project into Mac 10.8.5

My good old 2009 Macbook Pro has served me well for 6 years, but now I can't seem to find a solution to what I thought should be a simple issue. Lately I've been doing sketches on my iPad using GB for IOS, 2.0.1 It's an awesome tool, but the sketches need development.
I tried importing into my Mac's GB---"Sorry you need the next version of GB." I tried importing into Logic Pro 9.1.8--- no results/never rendered.
So I thought, well $5 ain't so much for the new GB---now however I find it's not compatible w/ 10.8.5---"Sorry, you need Yosemite."
I've been upgrading my OS on this Macbook Pro over the years, and all it's done has made the computer more quirky, slower, prone to hang, &c. We all know Apple moves their latest hardware (partly) by obsoleting the old stuff through OS "upgrades" that turn your machine into a clunky fossil. The computer still does fine, as long as I don't overtax it---I don't want to buy another and I'm loath to install Yosemite, I saw some horror stories from people who tried putting it on a machine it was never intended for.
Anyway, the question is: anyone out there know of a way for me to import my iPad GB projects into this computer? Would a slightly earlier version of GB for Mac work, and if so, where can I get it?
Thanks,
John in Houston

Which version of GarageBand are you using on your Mac?
Any version of GarageBand 6.0.1 or later should be able to open GarageBand iOS projects.
See this link: GarageBand for iOS and Mac: Project compatibility - Apple Support
GarageBand 6.0.1 comes with iLife '11 installer disks, you can buy them at Amazon or eBay and then update to GarageBand 6.0.5 from the Support downloads page.
Any version of GarageBand '11 is compatible with your MacOS X version. The latest version is GarageBand 6.0.5 .
Since your MacBook Pro can run Mt. Lion, you should be able to upgrade to Yosemite. I'd ask in the MacBook Pro forum, why your Mac is slow. It is not necessarily due to the System upgrades, but can be caused by incompatible software or a lack of RAM.

CS3 premiere import ppj. project problem

Hi,
I gotta problem with CS3 premiere importing a project file.
I'm grabbing Premiere project file ppj. from Premiere 6.5 on
PC and transferring it to CS3 on Mac. Problem is when I try
to do this. I can't, it has an error message saying "this project
was saved in a version prior to adobe premiere pro cs3 and
can not be opened on a mac." Is there anyway to fix this
problem?
Thank You
Paul

Yep...
Open it in 1.5 and save it
...then open it in 2.0 and save it...
then open it in CS3
then you only have to deal with opening it cross platform.

WebDynpro Problem - Importing Project from tutorials

I am trying to gothru the tutorial Accessing ABAP Functions in Web Dynpro (4).
I have downloaded and unzipped the zip file 4TutWD_FlightList.zip
When I try and Import a project,
It finds the Project TutWD_FlightList_init, I am able to select the project, but then I recieve a error
"Errors importing Projects
Error message: Invalid project description.
I have tried other project tutorials off SDN and get the same error.

Luciano,
I have tried the File>Import>Import Project from File System>
I am able to get the project created but none of the other structure is being built. The application,controller, views and window are all missing. I have tried to rebuild the project and I have tried to repair the project. No errors but no project structure either. I was a little confused by your suggestion to extract and then extract again. I have no files in the TutWD_FlightList_init.zip to extract again.
Also in the directory structure I have the files for the project such as...
project --> ProjectProperties.wdproperties
application --> FlightListApp.wdapplication
resultview--> ResultView.wdview , ResultView.wdview.xlf
controllers --> SearchView.wdcontroller
Any other suggestion would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Sarah

Problem with importing premiere project into after effects

Hi. When I import premiere project into after effects CS4 the files I speed up 2x (for example) look likes on the snapshot below, and they are not in the correct places.
what can I do?

Then don't speed them up... This is "as designed". AE and Premiere are not compatible in their tiem-remapping/ time-stretching, so tehre is no way to move between them without losing that info.

Importing imovie project into Final Cut Pro

Hello I need help getting my HD imovie project into final cut pro. I recored the project in 24p and it's already imported into imovie. What is the best way to get it into Final Cut Pro so that I can edit it further without sacrificing the quality.
Another problem is that I have heard that imovie compresses the video and totally ruins the quality. Is this true? And is this reversible in any way? I have already recorded over all the clips for this project on my camcorder. How screwed am I?
-Michael

First thing to do is find your original clips that you captured in IMovie. I don't have much experience in IMovie, but see if you can select a clip and control click and choose reveal in finder. If that works, open one of these clips in quicktime player and hit command-i and let us know the format of the clip.
Kind of doubt you'll be able to actually import your project into fcp, but you should be able to recreate it in fcp without too much difficulty.
Let us know what camera you shot and captured from. That may be of some help.
Hopefully someone with more experience in IMovie will speak up, but hopefully this will get us started.

Library project errors and imports of projects using them

So this is something that I have put up with in FB for a long time now, but I decided to try doing some research today to see if there is a workaround as it is very annoying. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything.
I attempted to file a bug/feature request, but it turns out that for some unknown reason FB is the only Adobe application that gives a link to another url (http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/) and, today at least, the link is dead so I have to post here instead.
The problem is with library projects (which I love by the way). I use them a great deal and for more than just creating standalone APIs. As do many others, I like to have the core of many of my cross-platform projects in a library so that I can create other ‘harness’ projects for different runtimes and use the same bulk code. This way I can just write code in each master project that is particular to that runtime be it air or web or whatever - this is a great bit of functionality that I would really miss were it not there.
As a result of this workflow however, I am often working in the library project directly in order to update all versions of a project. The problem arises when there is an error in the library project. When this happens, all the projects reading from the library lose all linkages to the swc and as a result the problem tab fills up with hundreds of problems that don’t exist, because as far as those projects are now concerned the swc no longer exists.
Now I understand why this happens but surely FB could be made to understand what is going on and override (what I assume is) the compiler’s behaviour, and just not display these errors.
This whole thing is exacerbated by (and may not even be that big a problem where it not for) the fact that I am forced to turn off 'build automatically' due to the 4.7 crash bug that has been reported here numerous times. Because of this I tend to write large chunks of code between each compile so I don't instantly know what has broken.
Please save the feature that I enjoy so much by either getting FB to deal with the situation better or by fixing the crash bug so I can use ‘build automatically’ again… or god forbid… fix both!! I can dream. J
If anyone has any good tips regarding this please let me know.
Many thanks,
James

Can I then delete the project from the hard drive (as it's now in the library?) or will that delete the whole thing forever?
That depends on how you did import the projects. If your images are referenced they might still be stored in the previous projects, but if your library is managed, then it will be save to delete the projects you already imported.

Can't import Flex project

I wonder if someone can help me with this. I am using FlexBuilder 3. I am unable to import my project from one laptop to another. The old laptop had CF8 and the new has CF9 so I’m not sure if this is the problem. When I try to import an archive I exported from the CF8 laptop, I get the prompt to update the path variables. It accepts the path to ColdFusion9 but will not accept the web root. I have tried C:\inetpub\wwwroot but it gives error message saying ‘the selected web root folder does not exist’. I also tried C:\inetpub and C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot.
I’m stumped at this point and desperate to get this imported. I have been having a nightmare trying to migrate this application from CF8, Windows Server 2003, IIS 6 to CF9, Windows Server 2008, IIS7.5. We are also using SSL so from what I’ve read I will have to recompile all these swfs with some changed XML config files. But of course, the first step is getting the app into FlexBuilder.

Thanks for the reply drkstr_1. I've got IIS working (I think) since the CF app comes up fine and I can surf about. It's the flex grids I have that won't work. I get: "Destination 'ColdFusion' not accessible over channel 'my-cfamf-secure'". Actually, the flex grids DO work with http, but they don't work using https. I had found information to add secure channel info to the remoting-config.xml and services-config.xml files. Once those channels are added, I need to recompile the swfs. But first is to get the project into this new laptop FlexBuilder. I'm using C:\inetpub\wwwroot for my websites. And here is what I'm trying to follow for the recompiling and reconfiguring: http://blog.crankybit.com/flex-remoting-over-ssl/

How to Import Garageband projects and files into Cubase for Windows?

Hi
I've recently started using Garageband to record my ideas and compositions. I had 2 main questions:
1. How do I transfer the audio files created in Garageband in a format which will allow me to edit them in Music Software for a Windows based Operating system? Tranferring them to iTunes and then converting them to MP3 doesn't help because then my friends can't edit my guitar parts and other backing tracks.
Mainly I need to know how to save and import Garageband projects and individual tracks into Cubase/ Cakewalk for Windows so that my band guys can edit the tracks and send me their ideas.
I'm the only one out of my friends who has an Apple Macbook and most of my band guys still use Windows based Operating systems.
2. I record my guitars and other instruments using the Digitech GNX4 guitar effects processor as the sound source through USB. While I can record clean guitar without any problem, the moment I switch on the distortions on the GNX 4, there is a loud and constant hum from the speakers. I am therefore not being able to record distorted guitar sounds.
Please help on this.
Thanks and hope to hear from you all.
Cheers
Prash

Tranferring them to iTunes and then converting them to MP3
same as the protools procedure:
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/GBFAQ.html#openinprotools
there is a loud and constant hum from the speakers.
Could be a ground loop problem. Test it using the MacBook on battery power only.

Can't Import HTMLHelp Project using Robohelp HTML RH8

We have an HTMLHelp project that contains over 1000 HTML pages that are grouped into subfolders under the main project folder. Currently, we use the HTML Workshop to create/maintain the project files and generate the master chm. The master chm also includes baby chms that are generated using DocX or a home-grown program. Going forward, we want to start using a Help authoring tool . We downloaded a trial version of RH8. We clicked the Import option to import the project and received the following error: "The parameter is incorrect". I checked the forum and saw that other people also received this error message but for different reasons. Can you help us move forward so that we can evaluate RH8? Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.
Sorry, your post fell into the "mm, take a look at the weekend" category.
I've not seen the problem you report in connection with importing a project but it's not a RoboHelp project you are importing but you are using that option.
You have CHMs so try Reverse Engineering them. See that topic on my site. Try Method 2 first.
There is also a topic on Merging Help and the RH8 version includes merging CHMs.
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips

Last problem in my project!!

i've intend to open this 'Receipt.class' by clicking button from other class file called 'Main.class'
Normally we used this statement "Receipt open = new Receipt();" to open,
but what if the class file is like that??
Please help me even giving me the clues!! please.. this is my last problem in my project!!!
import java.awt.geom.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.print.PrinterJob;

public class Receipt extends JPanel implements Printable, ActionListener {
final static JButton button = new JButton("Print");
public Receipt() {
     setBackground(Color.white);
button.addActionListener(this);

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if (e.getSource() instanceof JButton) {

printJob.setPrintable(this);
if (printJob.printDialog()) {

     f.getContentPane().add(BorderLayout.CENTER, new Receipt());
     f.setSize(580, 500);
     f.show();

I don't quite get your question. What did you mean by open? Did you mean to display it. Receipt is a JPanel, to show it you need to have it inside a Frame or an Applet or some sort of container.
try this
import javax.swing.*;
Receipt receipt = new Receipt();
JFrame aFrame = new JFrame("Display Receipt Panel"); //create a JFrame
aFrame.getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout()); //set Layout Manager for the frame
aFrame.getContentPane().add(receipt, BorderLayout.CENTER); //add panel to the frame
aFrame.show(); //show the frameThe above block of codes create a JFrame and add the Receipt panel to the Frame. Then call the Frame to show. You can put this code in a method, if you need to use this Frame and panel again, make them instance variables rather than local variables.

Importing existing projects

I am trying to import some projects that I have on my work
machine in to my home machine. I am just getting started with Flex
builder but am having a bit of trouble understanding how it handles
projects...there is no apparent way to *completely* close one
project and open another one, so you are working on only one at a
time. Rather, it appears that you import all projects into the same
workspace, and switch between them in the Navigator (whether these
projects are related to one another or not). Is this correct?
One problem I had though, is that I cannot seem to import all
my projects. I created a directory on my work machine called
FlexProjects, and inside are two project directories, say Test and
Keyboard. I took this entire directory home with me and saved to a
local drive. Then, I used the Switch Workspace command to switch to
FlexProjects. Then, I said Import ->existing projects and
navigated to the FlexProjects folder. From here, it listed both
Test and Keyboard. It will then import Test, but when importing
Keyboard I get this message:
Invalid project description:
Reason:
Invalid project description
and the details say:
E:\projects\FlexProjects\Keyboard overlaps the workspace
location E:\projects\FlexProjects
I don't understand this - I did a compare of the Test and
Keyboard project paths and there was no obvious difference (like an
incorrect path) that would explain why Test will import but
Keyboard won't.
It is critical that I be able to port Flex projects between
home and work .. can someone help me fix this?
Thanks!

That's what I figured. I'll just have to work through the background and keep as is. thanks!

Transitions don't work after importing a project from Premiere to AE

I've imported a project from Premiere CS3 to AE CS3 and all my transition (fade + wipes) are now solids and they don't work on timeline or on exports, but they still show in my sequence.
How can I make AE use those transition again so I don't have to go through all project and keyframe transitions.
Notice that I use Cineform and that those transition are Cineform's one; hope that doesn't cause the problem since AE uses CF too.
Thnak you for your time and interest in my problem.

fredou_79 wrote:

Exactly the problem. AE is only to able to translate a few transitions, which include the normal cross-disolve, linear wipe, dip-to-color and a few others, but since those routines are hard-coded in the Premiere Pro Importer, they have no way f doing the same for third-party products. So more or less you will have to rebuild your stuff, either by using the proper transitions in PPro or in AE.

"Import Flex Project" Menu Disappear [FB 4.6]

Hi All,
I am not sure what's going wrong here but I'm not able to see "Import Flex Project" menu item under File Menu.
Can any one knows how to get it back ?
Thanks
Mac

I'm having the exact same issue as he described. This doesn't help at all.
I am using a fresh install of Flash Builder 4.6.
I have tried closing and re-opening the project, and cannot get the design view to work.
I have tried creating a completely new project, it comes up bad.
**Edit**
I think the problem has to do with the workspace. Most of my projects are flex 4.5. I started using an old flex 4.5 workspace that I have been using for several months. It worked well for a few hours of development, and then the design view started messing up.
I created a fresh new workspace, and imported the projects into the workspace by using file->import flash builder project->Folder, and manually selected the projects I needed.
This method worked for me and I am good to go.
Another point of note, is that my workspace was in my dropbox folder, which may have had some tampering going on in the background, I doubt it, but that could also have been the issue.
Good luck guys, hope this helps.
