Project Import Problem

Hi All,
I am trying to import ODI project in my ODI 11.1.1 version.
First I created master and work repository and then configured topology manager.
I can import model successfully but when I am trying to import project, I am getting following error.
com.sunopsis.tools.core.exception.SnpsSimpleMessageException: You cannot import this object. The referencing objects do not exist in the repository.

Problem solved. Actually I need to keep unique repository Id which should not never be used previously.

  • MS Project Import Problem - Task & Phase Names not importing

    I have been trying to get the MS Project import working with Cprojects. So far the structure and all the fields & come across except for the Task or Phase Names, which are always blank.
    I have followed the Note 958210 and the field mapping is the default one supplied, where the field Name in MSProject is mapped to the description field in Cprojects. I have also specified a phase type in field 20, as it says in the Note. E.g the project is structured as below:
    Text20....................| Name
    000000000000001....| PROJECT PREPARATION
    ..............................| -Project Management Preparation
    ..............................| -Business Model Definition
    000000000000001....| BUSINESS PROCESS ANALYSIS
    ..............................| -Project Kick Off
    ..............................| -Business Process Analysis
    Any ideas why these Names would not be coming across from MSProject?

    hi
    check whether all the fields mapping is done.

  • OSB Project Import Problem

    Hello All,
    I want to import an OSB project into one OSB domain.
    There are some other projects already there.
    But after importing, it requires me to restart the server, which it is the OSB configuration project problem.
    The new project is in another configuration project, which is different from the one for those deployed projects in the server. I don't know the name of the configuration project in the server. What I should do to avoid to restart the server?
    Thanks and regards,
    Kerr

    Hi,
    OSB Resources can be imported and exported with eclipse IDE or sbconsole.
    Until the project names are unique user should be able to import without any issues.
    Not sure of your use case ... but user dont need a re-start at all with new resources it will workwell
    thanks

  • Final Cut Pro/GY-HD111E import problems?

    Final Cut Pro/GY-HD111E import problems?
    With a brand new Mac Pro and very latest Final Cut Studio complete with updates I'm having a little problem trying to import footage directly from a JVC GY-HD111E (yes I'm in PAL land, UK) via FireWire into FCP.
    Footage is 720p/25p and timeline is set up in FCP that way.
    I'm doing a 'capture now'. The first clip I'm trying to import is about 45 minutes long with no cuts/breaks whatsoever.
    What happens is after about 60 seconds or so, it FCP automatically breaks the clip for no reason and starts a new one, trouble is, when it does this I lose about 4 seconds of footage at that point.
    It continues to break clips randomly, sometimes after 40 seconds or so, sometimes after 95 seconds, but usually between 30 seconds and 2 minutes and each time it starts a new clip I lose between 1 and 6 seconds.
    As I say, there are zero breaks or cuts in this clip, I have a 45 minute clip that was shot in one take, not even a pause anywhere.
    Is this a JVC issue or a Final Cut issue?
    It's a pain as it simply means I can't import my 9 hours of footage hence I can't get on with this project.
    Any ideas why this phenomenon is happening?
    Thanks guys.

    I mean I get the same errors.
    Let me explain again.
    There are NO start/stop/pauses in this clip.
    I'm trying to import just ONE clip with no breaks, again, there are NO start/stop/pause, it is one continuous clip of 15 minutes duration.
    The JVC creates some sort of errors at the Firewire output stage, it drops frames or other errors, FCP gets confused and creates a new clip, even though it is the same clip, but due to the GoP structure, it looses a few seconds too hence I can't import the footage as I keep loosing bits here and there mid clip. It is randam, every 30 to 100 seconds or so it will do this.

  • CS3 and CS2 Project import

    I've read a number of references to problems with former projects importing into CS4. I too thought I had a big problem when I imported a project to CS4 and the workspace was blank. Once I discovered the new feature in the Workspace: "Import Workspace from Project", UNCHECKED it, and selected an existing CS4 workspace - there was no problem.
    So far, all of my projects have imported just fine.

    Thanks for posting this, I'm sure it will help a lot of people.
    Cheers

  • MS Project import - Scheduling

    Hello
    I have some problems with the MS Project Import.
    The help i find is not really exactly.
    Who to schedule during a MS Project import.
    I mapped the fields for the import so for example the project definition object:
    FINISH_DATE     PDCP     cProjects Project Definition     FINISH_DATE_FIX
    START_DATE     PDCP     cProjects Project Definition     START_DATE_FIX
    My project in MS Project has the start 11.11.2009 and the scheduled end 08.12.2009.
    But when I import a project in cProjects I have a start date 09.07.2009, calculated start 09.07.2009 and calculated end 10.07.2009
    on every object (task, project definition...) I have the wrong date after import.
    what is the problem?
    Edited by: Denis Müller on Jul 9, 2009 7:30 AM

    Hi
    There are two options
    Either you go for
    1.  mapping duration of Task or Phases with acivity duration in MSP and pass only start date,
    system will calculate end date
    or
    2.  try by using constraints, CONSTR_TYPE_FIN and CONSTRAINT_TYPE for start and end date,
    for this you need Ms project to maintain values
    let all know th support pack you are on
    Niranjan
    Let me know if it helps

  • Project  Import Bug

    PPCS3, windows, latest patches, etc, etc
    Great bug and I used to write software for a living, so I know a good bud when I see one Perfectly repeatable 100% of the time:
    Needed to pull together something quickly. Built a new project and imported several old projects to pull assets and some timeline.
    So I build project X and import projects A+B+C
    Cleaned-up all the un-needed assets and un-used timelines and reorganized everything nice and tidy. Used project manager to blow-away all unused assets.
    SO I am left with just X
    Burned DVD life is good.
    So now I have a finished project X and saved-it-out. Done !
    Several weeks later, a guy sees the DVD and wants me to expand the idea and use some of his assets.
    OK, dont want to corrupt my finished dvd project [X], so I create a new project and import the final version of the saved dvd project [X] and will add his assets
    Basically use final X + new assets to make project Y
    Well, upon importing X, I dont get X I get A+B+C ??? in the state prior to using project manager to clean-up
    In summary, X is not imported at all, not the final timeline anywhere.. I simple get A+B+C..
    I must be crazy, so I close my current project and open the final dvd project [X] and it is in its correct state ---- nice and tidy. I even burn another DVD to make sure the project is not corrupted.
    OK, I must have made a mistake, so I go back and create a new project [Y] and import the final state of X and it happens again. I get A+B+C I even try to import auto-saves versions, and still happens.
    Now I assume the project bin is managed using a linked-list of pointers, or large pointer array something inside the project file is really screwed-up to cause an import problem like this. Are there history states on the project bin?
    Thanks in advance,
    Hugh

    Update:
    See previous post for background.
    Well I figure that I may as well work with what I got. My project has only 100 assets, so what the hell, how long could it take me?
    I import X (and get A+B+C)
    I re-splice A+B+C to Make a new project Y It will cost me a day, but its snowing right now and what the hell
    So I re-clean-up and use project manager to blow-away unused assets basically getting a new Y that is an approximation of X
    Come back after a break..
    Open Y and PP asked for 3 missing assets.. what the hell??? I write down the names, skip them and use the find function to locate the missing assets in the project.not there at all they were purged during the clean-up. Found them on disk and definitely blown-away in project manager starting to see a pattern here..
    Not sure of the structure of the project file, but it must be corrupt And what is interesting, it is remembering a previous state of the file I can open the original X and burn a dvd perfectly. But if I import X, it sees a version of the file that has not existed in monthsNow that is cool
    Thinking Most [mission critical] software has built-in validity checking you run a stand-alone software on the database (Oracle, Exchange, Quicken, disk i-node tables, whatever) they all have it I wrote some of this stuff in my time. These programs rifle-through the data and use checksums, Hamming codes, etc.. to see if and data is corrupt, and ask you how you want to fix itPP have a function like this? If so, can I use it to fix my corrupt project? If not, it would be a good feature This would save me many hours at this point
    Thanks in advance,

  • CS5 Windows import problems (ppj, avi)

    I have the CS5 Master Collection installed on a Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit laptop. I have some old Premiere 6.5 projects that I wanted to open/import.
    When I first tried this, I could open the ppj files and make prproj files from them, either by double-clicking on the ppj file name or by importing the ppj in to a new prproj, but the video files within the ppj didn't import properly. Premiere Pro CS5 said, "The selected file cannot be linked because its type (video) does not match the original file's type (audio and video)." These video files are paired avi and wav files captured from mini-DV tape using Premiere 6.5 under Windows XP Pro. A sample check of one of my avi files with GSpot includes these results:
    The codec section says (among other stuff)
         codec: dvsd
         Name: DVC/DV Video
         Status: Codec(s) are Installed
    The container section says
         File length correct
         DV Type 2 AVI
         OpenDML (AVI v2.0)
         DV Audio/Video: 748 MB (97.63%)
         AVI Overhead: 18.1 MB (2.37%)
    When I tried more recently, Premiere CS5 does not include ppj under "All Supported Media" in the import dialogue box. I can open Bridge from Premiere and browse to a ppj file, but when I double-click the file name, I get the error message, "File format not supported." If I try to open the ppj directly rather than import it, instead of trying to run a conversion as it did initially, Premiere CS5 gives me the welcome to Adobe Premiere Pro popup without actually doing anything w/ the ppj. I'm not sure whether a Premiere update ran between the first and more recent attempts to import ppj files, but I now have version 5.0.3.
    Does anyone have suggestions for how to make this work?
    Thanks.

    I had the same problem with an old ppj project.
    The option to import was available pbut CS5 would crash when import was invoked.
    There was an error message about video filters.
    Adobe help line, over the course of an hour, tried to make me believe that this was related to the 64 bit vs 32 bit issues.
    Then I pointed out to them that the application was able to read the .avi file and play it if I imported it by itself without trying to import the whole project.
    I also mentioned that deleting the previews made no difference.
    At the end of the hour, they agreed to look at the project file. This was two weeks ago and this is the last time that I heard from them. When I ftp'ed the file to them they confirmed the following which I also told them; this is a separate problem from the import problem, but it is related to the support of this software. The automatic updates to the program cause Adobe .ppj import options to disappear from the import menu file type list. Again, they confirmed this and I had to unistall the whole package, reinstall Adobe, and not accept any updates.
    I have yet to hear from Adobe on this. I suspect this is such a rare need that they feel they don't need to support it, but this being the case I think the doofs ought to take the feature out of the advertising list, or provide a stand alone utility to translate the text .ppj into a .prpj compatible project. It's not very difficult.
    The most disturbing thing is that they obviously fail to do a thorough regression test prior to publishing updates. Basic features that are advertised are failing.
    THE SOLUTION (for my case)
    Of course, the reason I wanted to import the project was because there was aOne of the key reasons to stay with Premiere is that I am used to it and want compatibility, as the others in this post also would like.
    Besides Adobe being of no help at all, I have found a workaround. As you all know the ppj file is a text file with headers in [ ] brackets. This file contained some headers which did not appear in .prpj created projects and this was due to some special effects add-ins which were bundled with the video card I installed in the old system.
    By removing the special effects using the old version of Premiere installed on a 32 bit system, I was able to import all the clips with the NLE cuts as I intended, and continue from there in CS5.
    I hope this is a viable workaround for some.
    I do not know if Adobe plans to continue to support the import feature, but they ought to update their docs. It does not work.

  • HD Import Problems

    I recently purchased a Canon HV 20 HD Camcorder. Picture quality and playback from the camera is excellent. However I have had a few problems following import of HD footage to my computer with IMovie 06 HD. Most of the footage is fine, however a few scenes get very choppy and do not run smoothly (compared to direct playback from the camera). Also some scenes have distorted sound, it sounds like the speech is lowed down. I have all the latest updates installed for IMovie.
    Anyone else had similar problems?

    Hi Tim and others on this thread.
    Having raised a few hares, I felt duty bound to take another look at this problem.
    I dug out a master tape of my last 1080i HD project and which contained two clips with distorted sound. They were the last two clips of a 60 minute recording on a 63 minute tape and were, respectively, 13.5" and 47" long. They played fine in the camcorder and I have now discounted the camcorder and tape as a possible cause of the problem, following further testing in iMovie 6.
    I connected the camcorder to main power, then connected it via Firewire to the iMac, switched the camcorder to Play/Edit, and then opened a new imovie project(1080i PAL). I imported the last 4 minutes of the tape including the problem clips. The clips imported at half speed which is normal for my 1.8GHz CPU and shortly after I was able to preview in real time.
    The two problem clips still had distorted sound and the preceding two clips had no problem when reviewed in the Clips pane preview.
    I then highlighted the problem clips and dragged them simultaneously into the Timeline. The sound problem disappeared-they both played fine. I dragged them back to the clips pane and the problem reappeared.
    I then tried dragging them back to the Timeline and that seemed too much for iMovie 6. Sometimes a clip would work, then only one clip, then I lost sound altogether on the second clip,etc. Once you go beyond a certain point iMovie 6 will just become impossible.
    Quitting iMovie and then reopening the project got one clip to work temporarily but clearly is not a solution.
    Apple`s suggestions to conserve power when in HD by turning off Show Audio Waveform in View did nothing and neither did their other suggestion of deselecting Keep Playhead Centred in Playback Preferences. Neither did their suggestion to Repair Permissions. I had already tried their other suggestions of defragmenting my drive and there is now little more I can do to improve the performance of my computer.
    What did get me back on track was to close iMovie>ditch the iMovie preferences plist(Home>Library>Preferences)>re-open iMovie. The other thing that worked was your idea Tim of extracting the audio of both clips, and in fact this seemed to be the most lasting solution. However, starting with dragging both clips from Clips Pane to Timeline might prove better than either-I still do not know whether dragging them together was what what did the trick. Of course, it might be necessary to do all three if problems persist.
    Because I had confused iMovie with all this messing around, I ran DiskWarrior to tidy things up. No major problems were reported but this application does not report all the corrections it makes. Thus it sorted out a previous problem I experienced with iMovie 6 when trying to use purchased music but I have no idea what changes it made.
    My revised conclusion is that we may all need a lot more power in the CPU when editing high definition in iMovie 6. For example, the new 24" iMac G5 has the equivalent of double the power of my current iMac.
    David Babsy, a frequent contributor to these forums often mentions that most of his problems disappeared with a more powerful computer. You only have to see how things dramatically slow down in iMovie 6 when reaching the end of a big high definition movie edit to appreciate the need for more power.
    Obviously we still need extra RAM and also a big hard drive to cope with the vastly bigger files that HD needs.
    But power, memory and storage are, I now think, not the full answer. There is a bug or a series of bugs still to be resolved in iMovie 6 if it is to be truly stable. I include importing problems with HD in that list.
    I still think iMovie 6 is fantastic, even on my underpowered iMac.
    Apologies for previously confusing the issue with camcorder/tape issues.
    The problem clips are still working in iMovie as I post this.

  • Omf import problems from avid

    I have a lot of experience in STP on FCP projects.
    Problems, though with my first from Avid as an OMF file. It's a one hour doc and runs to about 1.5Gig.
    When I try to import it seems to set off various progress bars then just stops.
    Looking in the STP 'Edited Media' folder I can see a folder with the correct title has been created and in this there are 92 files comprising 236MB. The files have sensible names and play in Quicktime player.
    However, no project ever emerges -even in this short state - in FCP.
    I know the omf file is good because we've been able to open it in a neighbouring Protools suite.
    Anybody have any ideas?
    Charlie

    OK.   Try this.  First, duplicate your sequence in case things go south.  Find a representative clip in the browser.  Create a new sequence and edit it into that sequence.  FCP will ask if you want to match the sequence settings to the clip.  Say yes.  Does the clip look ok in the canvas?  If so, do the new sequence settings match the original sequence settings?  If they do, select the clip in the new sequence and copy (command-c).  Go to the original sequence and select all (command-a) and then hit option-v (copy attributes) and choose basic motion and distort.  Does that fix things?

  • BWAV import problem

    I'm a Logic beginner with a file import problem.
    I have 60+ BWAV files recorded in another app (Tracktion 3). Four mics in parallell into two stereo tracks with 30+ recordings, one after another, distributed over a couple of hours. I recorded 50 short pipe organ pieces that I intend to edit in Logic 9. I have added them to the bin. I have tested to add a few to one track and "Move to Original Recording Position", but...
    Logic says: "The stored time stamp of 1 region(s) exeeds the limits of this project (The time stamp of the first region is 00:00:32:18:40)"
    BWAV-Reader says:
    Origination Date: 2010-01-08
    Origination Time: 15:15:24
    Timecode Start: 00:00:32:22
    Originator: Tracktion

    Go to Settings → Synchronization and set Bar Position 1 1 1 1 → plays at SMPTE to 00:00:00:00
    Logic defaults to 01:00:00:00:00
    See if your tracks now move to position correctly.

  • Premiere Elements project imported into Premiere Pro CS5.5 becomes unusable after first save

    I have Premiere Pro CS5.5, and I have been trying for some time to successfuly edit an old project that was originally created in Premiere Elements (not sure which version--probably 7.0). It has the .prel extension. The project imports just fine, and I am able to edit it initially. However, if I save my new Premiere Pro project, close Pr and try to open the new project again, I get the "The project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements." error message. I have tried many of the various project recovery suggestions people have made in this forum and elsewhere online, but none of them seem to work. I even opened the project in XML Wrench, but there were no errors returned when I clicked "check is well formed." Once I close the project after doing some initial editing, it is gone. Is this a known issue? Is there any way I can be able to edit the old project in Pr and save my work? Thanks!

    Have you tried using the project manager to re-copy all elements and timeline etc into a totally new directory. I'm just curious to see if that would make a difference. I'd be intrested to see if when making a new project in this manor if it would because as you have stated the normal save methods haven't.

  • LR3.2 import problem on computer with Windows OS

    LR3.2 import problem on Windows OS
    This is a continuation of a question that I posed on August 22, 2010 in the discussion string "Cannot import CR2".  I have not been able to resolve the issue of importing an image into an existing folder location.  I had not been able to work on this issue for a number of weeks due to other circumstances, until today.   Note that the following people had attempted to provide answers and suggestions already:  ssprengel, JayS In CT.
    I use a laptop with a Windows operating system and a Macintosh desktop with Snow Leopard.  I run Lightroom on both of them.  The Windows laptop has Windows Vista Home service pack 2, version 6.0 [6002].  Around August 12th I upgraded from Lightroom 2 [481478], to Lightroom 3 on the laptop.  I left the LR2 on the laptop as well as LR3.  On September 12th I upgraded the laptop to LR3.2.  No other changes have been to the laptop or its software applications that I know of.
    My current attempts at resolving the issue reveal that when I created a new catalog "Test Catalog" in LR3 and saved that catalog to my desktop new folder labeled "Test Catalog" that I can import an image into LR3.2 to a new folder on the laptop's desktop.  I then deleted the images via LR3.2 Folders Remove function and tried to import the images into an existing folder as presented in the LR3.2 Import dialog, but get the error message "The following files were not imported because they could not be read.".   When I import images into a new folder placed on the desktop, I can use all functions in LR3 e.g. Develop module.  I cannot import images into existing folders on the laptop's hard drive - I have tried importing into the entire existing folders in the following hierarchy:  c:\users\Michael\My Documents\My Pictures\2010  but always get the same error message.
    LR3.2 does correctly backups upon exiting each time I quit the program, so I know that there isn't any issue of writing to that backup folder which is contained in an upper folder that contains the lightroom catalogs.  I have even created a new Word file, saved it into the folder with Lightroom catalogs, opened it up, modified it, saved it, and saw that it works OK, so that tells me there is no problem with a Read-Only folder attribute.
    I cannot recall if upon the upgrade from LR2.6 to LR3 that I chose to upgrade the catalog to LR3 version.  Would that matter, if yes, what do I verify, how do I manual upgrade the catalog.
    History of actions between August 10th that I have taken follows between the [[[[ and ]]]]:  
    [[[[Preference settings for Default Catalog are set to start with a specific catalog that I call "Lightroom master catalog", it is not set to the "Load most recent catalog". 
    All of the following were using my laptop:  Previously I had no problem with LR2 for any functions.  I just purchased an Epson 7000 media storage device, and in early August and practiced importing images into LR2, and those images were pulled in OK. Next, I upgraded to LR3.  I discovered that the Epson's images had been placed into a wrong folder when I opened LR3.  I used the remapping function in LR3 to move the images into the correct folder.  Next, I used a SanDisk card reader to import images into LR3 into an existing folder of images, but the following error message appeared "the following files were not imported because they could not be read" (Import Results said  'some import operations were not performed').  I tried importing a single image, and multiple images, but had the same error.  I tried switching the card reader to each of 4 different USB port on the laptop, with the same error occurring on each USB port used.
    In order to try to isolate the problem.  I took the SanDisk card reader with the memory card and successfully imported the images into LR3 on my Macintosh desktop computer; so to me the problem is not the card reader or the memory card.  I also used the SanDisk recovery disk while using my laptop to look at the files on the memory card and I could see all the images correctly while in the recovery program, but I have not copied the images to the laptop's hard disk, and have not tried an import into the laptop's LR3.  I did not import images directly from my camera to the laptop LR3 since I did not think it would help with the troubleshooting. 
    I then ran the Repair from the Adobe LR3 CD upgrade disk, on my laptop.  Then I tried doing the import using the SanDisk reader and memory card, but the same problem occurred and same error message, that the files could not be imported (I was trying to import into a folder of existing images).  I then used the Laptop's Control Panel function to remove LR3 application.  Then I did a fresh upgrade of LR3 on my laptop, but the same error message and I am unable to do any import of the memory card from the card reader.  I then tried to do an image import from the Epson 7000 into the laptop, and the same error message and I am unable to do any import into a folder with existing images.   I then tried doing an image import into LR2 on the laptop, and got the same problem to occur when trying to import into an existing folder of images.  I have a couple of  Canon EOS SLR digital cameras, and the issue occurs for any of the file types of the cameras.
    Went into LR3 Preferences, General Tab, I now checked the previously unchecked box for Import Options - "Show import dialog when a memory card is detected".
    Connected the Canon XTi directly with a cable to the laptop computer.  Note that Canon's information said that Picture Transfer Protocol is automatically used when the XTi is directly connected to a computer, so I did not need to change anything in the camera's menu for communications choices (there is no communication menu in fact).  I selected one image and copied it to the laptop desktop.  Tried to import it into LR3 into a folder of existing images but got the error message "Could not copy a file to the requested location."  While in LR3, I changed the location of where the file would be copied into - any of my existing folders of images; tried 5 different folders, but kept getting the same error message.
    With the card reader connected via USB port on the laptop, I copied one image file to the desktop, and then tried importing into LR3 into a folder of existing images.  Got the error message "Could not copy a file to the requested location."]]]]

    I am not clear if by 'import' you are trying to copy or move the files from a location to another or if you are adding the files to a catalog.  My comments may not, therefore, be too helpful.
    Firstly, with both LR2 and LR3 installed you will have both catalogs present, but if you try to open the LR2 catalog with LR3 you will be prompted to update the catalog.  You will thus know which catalog you are working on. 
    Secondly, if you are reading direct from the camera, you should connect using the 'PC connection' mode.
    Thirdly, there is an issue with reading .CR2 files directly from the early Canon DSLRs (in Europe named 300D, 350D, 400D).  While they are visible with the Canon software, they can not be seen with Windows explorer nor can they be accessed with Lightroom. 
    I suggest that you take the CF card out of the camera and copy the files using Windows Explorer in to the destination folder.  You are then sure that the files are on the PC.
    If you have the right Codec installed, you can view them with Windows photo gallery; if you don't, you can use one of the Canon software packages to view the files.  You are then sure that the files are not corrupted.
    Then import the files to your LR catalog using the normal import routine selecting 'add without moving'.  I have tried this routine  successfully using my 350D using both LR1.x and LR3.x.  If that doesn't work - I'm lost.

  • On windows 8 and itunes I have importing problems the DVD is only reading the music cd from 1.5x to 4.0x for 95% of the time, it does hit speeds of 30x for the other 5% of the time. Is it a driver issue with the DVD or is it  a windows 8 issue?

    No. You have no alternative but to plug it into a computer running iTunes and restore it.

  • Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date.  The files show up on the hard drive but many are not showing up in Aperture.

    Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date.  The files show up on the hard drive with import date not created date, but many of these same files are not showing up in Aperture. Sometimes the clips actually show up with the current import but take on the video information from a previously imported file.

    It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did. 
    Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
    I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!
