Questions about export in OnLocation CS4

Hi, I was wondering if there is any benefit to using the export feature in OnLocation CS4 over merely opening the project folder and grabbing the files. It seems to just copy the files with an .xml file (?) into a new folder (which takes a long time) and is prone to crashing -which has happened to me twice. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
JP

Michael,
I've actually given up. The Export feature crashed on me twice doing... well... who knows? Easier and more reliable to just go into the folder and pluck the files myself.
The only purpose I can guess at is if you were working on a SAN or other networked storage. That way you could keep working/shooting while OnLocation copied the ready footage to your SAN for editing elsewhere. If you use the OS directly, it would drag all the resources. But that's my only guess.
Honestly, I am really disappointed with CS4. It seems that Adobe spent all this time incorporating "workflow enhancements" (like XML metadata, speech recognition, and that export feature) that they ignored, removed, or broke pieces that are crucial to the work to begin with. There are a few things I like (the new AME, the look of the interface, improved HDV/AVCHD handling) but it comes with sooooo many trade-offs.

  • Sql developer: question about exporting data

    Hi,
    we're recently working with sql-developer. i've got a question about how we can export query results to txt/csv files for use in other applications.
    First a problem: if we start a query that looks like this:
    select * from
    select * from A where start_date = &date
    ) a,
    select * from B where start_date = &date
    ) b
    where a.name = b.name
    Sql-developer asks twice to input a value for the variable 'date', although it's the same variable and it's supposed to have the same value.
    We solve this by making a script:
    first we define the variable, then we put the query.
    When we start the script, the query runs ok and sql developer asks to input the value for the variable once.
    But now the result of the query is shown in the script output. The script output seems to be limited in number of lines and difficult to export.
    So my question is: what's the best way to export query results to txt/csv files, avoiding the problem mentioned above?
    i hope there is a solution where we can use a single query or script.
    Thanks in advance!

    Using bind variables like ":date" should solve the problem of being asked twice for the same thing.
    Executing the query normally (F9), gives you the export options you require through the context menu inside the Results grid.

  • Question about exporting FBL3N data in Pivot table format

    Dear all
    I have a question about the "exporting file" function of ECC 6.0.
    We started to use ECC 6.0 system, and it appears that we are no longer able to export "FBL3N data" to a local PC in pivot table format.
    Is there a way to do it?
    We used to be able to do so when the system is 4.6.
    I appreciate your support!
    Kind regards

    Dear:
                 You can do that. Execute report FBL3N with desired GL account in it. After when report has been executed right click on it. There will be an option Spread Sheet. Select all available format. In drill down select 08 (Excel in existing XXL format) and press OK. There you will get pivot table option for downloading., Hope this will help you resolve your query.

  • Questions about exporting PSDS(so as PNG, TIFF with transparency) by AI CS4 and newer

    Hello, I've got this question as titled...I stll can't figure it out why.
    I'm now using WIN version of AI CS6, and I've used CS4, CS5 before.
    Why does AI CS4(and the newers) export transparent PSD files which are always with blank transparent thin border(about 2~3px) line in the right and down side ?
    This situation hasn't happened in CS3 and CS2.
    The PSD files I intended to export are about A4 size with 300 dpi, sometimes with 150dpi, in RGB/CMYK/Grayscale color modes.
    If  someone as well-experienced as all you seniors can tell me the reason or even solutions i'll be very thankful to your reply.

    Thank your reply first
    I totally agree with your opinion, it's really an annoying bug.
    I've tried your solutions before but it's still time-comsuming to correct the with/length.
    Sometimes I think the new version AI kind of rediculous because it can't export as accurate as the CS2/CS3's exporting, which should have functioned well.
    On the other hand, I can also save my AI file with PDF capability and drag it into PS to rasterize, then I can get accurate PSD files.
    But save AI with PDF cab. takes much time, even more when there are complex objects (or) with multiple appearance features and occasionally fails to save and get a broken AI file.

  • I have a question about the downloads for CS4.

    I had to go back to CS4 Master Suite after my card was deactivated, because adobe got hacked and my credit card was compromised. Since I was in the middle of traveling and I'm still in a bad situation, because of it I am still on CS4. Which sucks for my workflow now.
    Well, anyway... Sorry, still very frustrated.
    When all that happened I had to download CS4 Master Suite from your site, because the disks are not with me. Photoshop continuously shutdown on me. If I attempt to move a layer up or down in the layers panel it froze and shutdown every freaking time. After Effects and Premier Pro could not export or render anything. Illustrator did what it's supposed to do most of the time. Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, and Premiere Pro are the only programs I use really. They are essential to my freelance work and I have had to turn away projects ever since this whole ordeal started last year.
    About a month ago removed CS4 and downloaded Creative Cloud again, because I thought I was in a place were my bank could send me a card. Some how I received another monthly trial and everything was awesome again while I waited for my card. My card didn't come. The trial ended and now I'm right back to not being able to integrate with Cinema 4D and so on. Now that is not your fault. So, I'm not going there.
    I did, once again, download the install file for CS4 Master Suite and install the same programs. They are just as problematic as they were the first time I used the .dmg file from your downloads site.
    Now I know you are far away from CS4, but that is what I am on until I can get back to the US and get another card, because you don't accept paypal or anything else.
    Is there anyway I can get an actual proper working install of CS4. I can work around all the features I lost if I can get a download that actually has everything it's supposed to have in it. I do not pirate software, which is why I went backwards. So, please, please, please, please do something about that .dmg that doesn't have everything need to make the program work properly.
    Thank You,
    From

    Your technical issues have zero to do with the installers. Whatever is at play is rooted on your system, but you have not provided any specific system info nor crash logs. Pardon me, but "Photoshop is crashing" is a useful as my 88 year old grandma telling me her phone doesn't work...

  • I have a question about exporting a short movie to burn on a DVD.

    Ok, it's me again.  You guys were so much help last night, that I am back for another piece of advice.  I have made a short 23 minute movie in Premiere Pro CS3, using 200 still images and some music.  I realize that this program is way more than I need, but it is on my computer along with I Photo, I DVD, and I Movie - which are great programs for the quick little thing I am doing, but you can only choose 1 Transition between each still in all three of those programs and that becomes very obnoxious.
    Therefore, I used Premiere Pro CS3, but now I want to export it two times - once for a web site and once to burn it to a DVD to watch on a standard TV. Can anyone walk me through that - way, way to many choices and I tried reading the 11 pages in the user manual - it may as well been in a foreign language.
    Thanks to all.

    Hi,
    If you have encore you can use that for the DVD...encore will take care of a lot of stuff for you automatically...
    What are your project settings ?  eg....  720x480 progressive, square pixels, 29.97 fps, 4:3 aspect ratio....etc.
    That will have a lot to do with how you export for the web...what settings you use..
    You will need to know what web based video size you want ( will it be smaller than your project (720 x480 ? )  for example?)
    Sooo, do you have encore?
    Can you supply project settings and info about what you want the web video to be

  • Quick question about exporting to Flash

    Is there a way to get the same quality when you export a cpv
    project to Flash, as when you preview it in Captivate?
    Are changes in mouse paths, sounds, and picture quality after
    transferring normal? Or are they supposed to look exactly the same
    as they do in Captivate?
    I'd just like to rule out one or the other.

    Hi ksonta
    One would expect to see that everything survived the
    export/import process in full clarity. In a perfect world, that is.
    Unfortunately, Captivate doesn't yet "talk" to Flash as
    cleanly as we would like. You might question this by asking "Aren't
    they both Adobe products? Why not?"
    And I would fundamentally agree with you in theory. But the
    fact is, Adobe hasn't had either product all that long. Adobe
    bought Macromedia. Macromedia had Flash. Macromedia also had
    Captivate, but they bought Captivate from another company called
    eHelp. Heck, even eHelp bought the product from yet another company
    called Nexus Concepts. So Captivate has a long and colorful
    history.
    Hopefully the next version will bring us seamless and perfect
    exporting and importing from Flash.
    Currently I'm aware of an issue with Background images being
    "shrunken". Maybe the export/import process has too much hot water?
    Cheers... Rick

  • Questions about exporting to full quality?

    Hey there -
    I just wanted to make sure that if I want to give my friend back a DV file from the converted tape that I choose Export, then Full Quality? I know that creates one file vs individual clips but her tape was one long one, I did chapter markers for the dvd and make splits but I don't think she wants those (some are arbitrary, e.g. the tape was long than an hour so iMovie HD split it into two clips). So, I just want to be sure that that's the right choice for exporting?
    And, on that, does that remove transitions or keep them?
    Lastly, there is a weird screen in QuickTime in the resulting file. It's a colorblock screen of sorts - a whole punch of pixels (big TV ones, not sure what they are called) in a bunch of colors. It's happening RIGHT at the end of the footage - not thrilled about it but it is the DV file, I guess. Depending on answer to above, I may at least extend the end transition so it doesn't make future editing difficult. Any way to eliminate it from happening?
    Thanks for your help -
    Alexa

    +You should be able to move the cursor frame-by-frame with the arrow keys to get to the precise 'cut' point.+
    I know - it's strange but I lost a few seconds of just black screen at the end - I even went back and checked against the actual movie. At any rate, I'm slicing them off carefully and now am adding just a few seconds of still time at the end so it's not an issue.
    +What exactly is it that your friends want to do with the digitized footage? I recommend that you make them a DVD of the edited movie, and then export the movie back to the camcorder so they also have a digital mini DV tape of it. This way, they can view the DVD to see their movie and show to others, but they also have a backup on tape.+
    Ah, let's see - somehow I've agreed to convert a bag full of VHSC and VHS tapes (and hours and hours of my life for footage that's not even my family!) At any rate, I am giving them the deluxe end product - a customized movie with smoother transitions and chapters, a customized DVD menu with images and chapters (and music, if it fits) and a customized case and printed DVD (Taiyo Yuden printed Watershield DVD). Yes, the works. So, then I told them to buy a external HDD and I would move the resulting DV files to it so they would have them should the ever want to use the footage again (e.g. make an "anniversary" montage that pulls in just clips from their wedding, or a wedding montage for their kids that includes the baby footage that I digitized.) So, they have the VHSC and VHS originals, they'll have the movie on DVD and they were going to have the DV files on a hard drive of the appropriate size. That was my recommendation since the problem was that the tapes sat around in the first place - they aren't going to convert them without help. But, if that's the "best" option for longer-lasting backup, I can offer it to them.
    +If this were for your use, I would recommend that you also create a disk image of the iDVD project as backup. ...Because the disk image file is self-contained, you can safely delete the iMovie and iDVD projects without losing the ability to burn DVDs of the iDVD project that is now saved as the disk image. You use Disk Utility (or Toast if you have it) to burn the actual DVD disk.+
    That is the best advice I could have received! I hadn't really figured out what I was going to do with the actual iMovie and iDVD projects after I was finished. I was reluctant to delete b/c - ahem - they've come back to me after 2 months of the last project and asked for another copy!!! But, I've already added one external for this, I can't house their memories in various forms forever. So, if I do the disk image, I'll retain the ability to make the disk - that's exactly what I need. I've already been caught once by the dreaded "you've updated the move file" bug once, simply because I had opened the original iMovie project - and I had to build the whole DVD again (and it had 24 chapters!)
    Thanks so much for the counsel on the disk image - I had heard about it but just wasn't sure how I should directly apply it to these projects.
    Appreciate it!

  • I have a question about exporting a music file from Express.

    Hi, I'm a new Logic Express user and I have a question.
    I have been using Garageband for some time and I figured I needed a higher level of music producing. Now, I have created a song in Logic Express. However, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPORT IT! it was so much in GB. But Now, I'm having trouble. I looked through the manual more than once and I can't find a way to export my logic file as an Mp3 file.
    Can anyone help me? Thanks!

  • Question about Export functions

    hi,
    i'm considering getting into STP but would like to know about its export functions especially when it comes to interchange projects with other DAWs in particular Pro Tools.
    What exactly are the import / export options?
    ie: OMF, AAF, AES31, etc...
    ideally i would want to do sound editing (for film work) in STP, then transfer the edit session to Pro Tools for the mix stage.
    thanks, manioca

    If your talking about Pro Tools HD, then who gives a **** about a simple program like this one! Don't waste peoples time who don't have spare change for plugins that actually work after paying for that kind of a system. Real players know that PTHD won't hold a candle to either profesional live or studio sets and little programs like Logic and Soundtrack pro are only the backup of the process. Soundtrack Pro is particularly suited for the finished project, going backwards from it is stupid beyond words.
    [and if you don't have PTHD then you're really lost in space here, this forum is for Soundtrack Pro.]

  • Question about exporting

    Hello all.  It is my first time using Premire Pro 2 and I am having some issues.  Whenever I try to export my video it exports it, but then I see no video.  I have the audio, but no video.  Could the problem be in the way I structured the project?  It's HD footage, so I used one of those presets.  I really hope there is a solution to this becasue I spent a lot of time on this.  The Adobe HD-SDI is what I set as the editing mode.  Does that affect it?  Please help!
    Thank you so much in advance.

    Welcome to the forum.
    First, tell us about your source files, in as much detail, as you can. Then, the full specs. of that Project Preset would be useful - again with full details, especially if you chose a Desktop Preset and adjusted any attributes.
    Last, please give the full details of your Export options. It is likely that you forgot to check a box, or hit the correct radio button. Here, I would strongly recommend doing a screen-cap series of all of your Export setting dialog screens, as the key might well be in there.
    Good luck, and we'll be looking for that info and the screen-caps,

  • Yet another question about exporting and video quality

    Kind people,
    I know this question has been asked many, many times, and I have searched and read up of the topic, but I would also like to ask it.
    I shot my video on a Canon Vixia HF10, downloaded it to Final Cut Express to edit, exported it as Quick Time Movie, dropped it in iDVD, then played it on my TV and the quality was…..not good. The video was a little fuzzy and there were ghosts. Are there any settings I should go back and check in iDVD.

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    What is the format recorded by this camera?
    How did you capture/ingest your video material in FCE?
    What was your sequence format in timeline?
    How did you export your sequence (specify exact steps, menus and command)?
    What was your iDVD project settings?
    What was the iDVD quality setting?
    Did you monitor your DVD on computer screen or TV set?

  • Good question about Exporting to tape

    Somebody asked me this and I thought it was a good question. And I dont know the answer!
    When a camera is connected to FCE, whatever plays on the timeline plays on the camera viewfinder, right? So instead of using PRINT TO VIDEO why wouldnt we just manually press record on the camera and just tape the movie straight off the timeline?
    Is there some kind of quality loss if you do this?
    Just seems to be a quicker and easier way to get the movie to tape.

    While this works just fine, there are some issues. I.E., it is a lot easier to interrupt your recording when playing straight from the timeline (press the wrong key, have another app switch over, etc).
    Print To Video (as far as I know) can only be interrupted with the ESC key.
    Also, in Print to Video, FCP makes sure everything is rendered, and you can add color bars, slate, black, etc to the beginning if needed.

  • Question about Export in html-format

    Hi all,

    using Discoverer Plus - 9.0.2.54.01 here. I've tried to create an external link in a column (calculation), f.e. &lt;a href="http://blablabla"&gt;Show Picture &lt;/a&gt;.

    While exporting the exporter(reports) just masks the brackets (<,>) as lt; or &gt;. So the User is not able to click the links.

    Hi Carsten
    Well you can set the content type on any field you wish but it will only work on fields that contain pointers and file names. Thus you cannot have a calculation that works out the filename, but you can create a new item in the Admin edition (aka calculation) that has the path to the file or http reference. Just make sure you don't embed any html cpde only the URL itself.
    Best wishes
