Re-linking EDL's and Media

To all of you FCP GURUS!!!
So here's my dilemma. Long story so please bear with me.
I need to know if there's a way that I can bring in an EDL that was edited on an Avid AND re-link that to the dailies that I digitized earlier on, on FCP. The offline edit is being done somewhere else and they are sending me the EDLs of the cuts as they happen so that I can see what VFX shots I need to take and make sure that they play smootly once they are done. I'm digitizing the dailies with the same ALE's that the assistant editor is using. What I want to achieve is being able to "RE-link" the EDL they sent me to the footage that I already digitized using the "tape name" or "reel names" and the timecode (since it's the same list that we digitized from for FCP and Avid).
I'm trying to avoid doing an "online edit" with the EDL everytime I get a new version.
SOOOOO, is there a way to achieve this? Re-link the EDL that I get from post with the media that I have using the Tape/Reel Names and Timecode?
Whoever answers this will be my hero and I will be forever grateful!
I'm using FCS 1 (waiting for FCS 2 to arrive). If I'm misisng info that will help you solve this let me know and I'll happily provide whatever information you might need.
THANKS!

I don't think even the AVID...king of media management...can do this. But I am not sure about the more recent versions. I just know that with at least up to Media Composer v11 (os9) that any changes made would mean that you needed to capture the footage in the changed sections again. If the changes made the clip smaller, Avid would still remain linked, but larger, you'd need to capture that.
And you could not capture the whole tape and just have the Avid know to relink to that. Not in my experience. So asking FCP to do that, when Media Management is the weak point? I don't think so. I have provided them feedback on this, but who knows. Why don't you do that too?
That would be a VERY handy feature.

  • EDL Exporting and Importing 101 - Questions

    We are testing Premiere's EDL exporting and importing capabilities for the first time, and are having issues. We set up a very simple test project with only 13 clips and a timeline with only 10 edits. This is what it looks like:
    http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/760/j00s.jpg
    We then exported an EDL, started a new Premiere project, and imported the EDL that we had created. It looks like this:
    http://imageshack.us/scaled/landing/32/6hd9.jpg
    In the bin, Premiere has now turned our 13 clips into 41. There are a lot of duplicates, some of them appear to be audio files, even though they're still listed as .mxf, and the start and end times are all over the place. Our two questions are: Why is it making all of these clips? And how do you link the media? We started linking some media manually, but because the start and end times are scrambled, the edits appear completely wrong in the sequence that we've created.

    There are a variety of options offered when exporting an EDL.
    These options need to be considered in conjunction with how the Sequence (audio/video layers) are set up. (managed for the edl export)
    Source footage management is vital in any EDL workflow and even more so when digital clip based ( as opposed to tape based linear assets).  ie. Digital clips have "unusual" filenames and are buried deep in folder structures. Filenames can be duplicated in a card to cards system. (mxf would be an exception)
    The EDL is usually used between systems.
    In your case  you are testing on the same system and assumeably the source footage resides there as well.  This is a case for managing the "source" so as the links work.
    Example. When I take footage to a Resolve Suite out of house.  I set up all the source footage on an transfer drive in the same manner ( filenames, folder names etc) as the original local drive .

  • I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts.

    I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new entries only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts. Outlook has multiple contact lists. Only one has any data. I can't find a way to delete the others and I can't keep the one I want to use at the top of the list. Any ideas?
    I have a question about email. I have several thousand emails in 10 or so days. How can I select multiple emails for deletion in stead of one at a time? How do I designate emails from a given sender as junk or block certain senders?
    Ron

    the spcs page on this site state which video formats the ipad supports
    I'd suggest converting your old videos to one of those formats
    handbrake is a free program which does this for you
    itunes used to be able to too when I right clicked incompatible media but don't see the option any more
    or maybe it only show when one right click incompatible media and currently my lib don't have any
    about the music then it's odd what formats are they?
    if they are acc protected have you tried to remove the DRM this can be don using itunes as
    apple don't use DRM for music any more

  • Link between iTunes and Library lost. Hard drive failure

    Hi!
       I need help with the following problem. (i7 27" iMac/256GB SSD + 1TB of internal disk hard drive. (SATA/7200rpm/3.5"))
              The 1TB internal hard drive on my iMac failed the S.M.A.R.T. Utilities test so Apple called in the computer and I had to have the hard drive replaced. The technicians reloaded the system from a 1TB external Western Digital hard drive; I had backed up the everything on it using Time Machine.
              Unfortunately, the iTunes application cannot now locate my iTunes library. I create a lot of slideshows on Aperture and use music from iTunes on the audio tracks. The titles on the audio tracks are now inaudible and are preceded by a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside. Can anyone help me on how I should re-establish the original link between iTunes and its library. The music files are located in folders (name of artists), within a folder (iTunes Music), within a folder (iTunes), within a folder (Music), within a folder (declangreaney) on the 1TB of internal disk drive.
              In trying to solve the problem, I went through the folders and double clicked on one song. This opened iTunes so I highlighted and dragged all the other 'artist-named' folders on the iTunes interface and in doing so, I succeeded in accessing all the files. This is not wholly satisfactory, however, as I do not have my own playlists and more seriously, there is still no link between the Aperture audio tracks.
      Sincerely,
         DG.

        Hi again!
         I saved the last message by accident which caused the reply to be sent off and so I had not finished what I wanted to write. Aploogies.
         I didn't find the new iMac hybrid SSD/Disk system easy to understand when it arrived over a year ago. I eventually decided that the 256 SSD section would be best suited to having the Operatin System for greater speed and I must have decided to put the music files on the 1TB internal hard drive along with photos and raw video clips. I can't honestly remember. There was a lot to take in. I wasn't even aware until this failure that iTunes had a default location.
         In addition to having the iTunes folder on the internal 1TB hard drive, I used Time Machine to store the entire computer contents on a 1TB Western Digital external hard drive. I had done my last Time Machine back-up on the 13 February and so I was hoping that by opening one or two songs on the back-up, they might reactivate the 'old' interface with the original playlists on it. That didn't happen but I then realised, while I was still in the Tme Machine back-ups on the WD external hard drive, that in the iTunes Media folder contained within the iTunes folder on the default Users/Username/Music location there was only an Add automatically to iTunes folder which was empty. While still still looking through the Time Machine back-upsI saw that the music instead was stored on the 1TB of internal hard drive as outlined on the first post:
         'The music files are located in folders (name of artists), within a folder (iTunes Music), within a folder (iTunes), within a folder (Music), within a folder (username) on the 1TB of internal disk drive.'

  • How to properly cite images and media used as to copyright

    All of the images and media used in my iBook were either created by me or gotten from an Open Educational Resource repository such as Wikimedia Commons and are CC licensed such that I am permitted to use them.  Wanting to avoid any delay in getting onto the iBookstore or have any questions raised about these assets after publication, I would like to cite these facts somewhere in my iBook.  I'd rather not use captions for this since the citations will include long, ugly URLs.  Traditional books have a page listing illustrations but I see no equivalent in the templates available by default. 
    So what is the best way to include information like this?  Should I include a list of illustrations and media in a Reference section?

    There are lots of different ways to cite the source of the image. I guess a big question is do you want to credit the source (or perhaps you are required by the license) right beside the image or is it okay to credit the picture at the back in a reference section.
    Personally, I like to credit the source by the picture and put something like "Photo by John Smith / genericStockAgency" in the caption. Alternatively you can credit the source in a section at the back (e.g., see E.O Wilson's life on earth).
    I'd suggest looking at various other ibooks and find a style that you like. BTW most books I have seen do not provide deep linking URLs for individual images and just list the source generically. E.g., image from wikimedia commons.

  • Unable to link accounts (RZ and BB) - verificati​on email never sent

    Hi there,
    I've spent a few hours on the phone trying to get this sorted and the help is always courteous and friendly, but I can't seem to get my issue solved.
    I got the dreaded "we're experiencing technical difficulties" message when I tried to add items to my cart.  Calling up revealed a lot of very old numbers and information, so we got that cleared out. 
    Then the cart was resolved, and I had to change my password.
    The only thing remaining is linking my accounts.  I get through it all, enter my number and get the "verification email sent" and get nothing. 
    All the BB emails show up (from account changes etc.) and nothing goes to the spam folder. 
    The last time I called, the lady said she'd place a ticket with the technical account department or somesuch and they'd get it resolved. That was a few weeks ago and I still can't link the accounts. 
    Is it possible that my email is set to "bounce" and you can uncheck that for me, please?

  • Media Termination points and media paths with CUCM

    Hi all,
    I could really use some help regarding this topic. Please allow me to explain the situation.
    Ok we have some endpoints that are not Cisco but cisco have developed cop files for CUCM and they are seen as a cisco device and register the same as any other phone. This isn't anything to do with the problem, but I want to make this clear. These are actually dealerboards for trading and register cisco lines the same as any other cisco telephone.
    Ok so here is the story;
    We have a CUCM cluster in London and a local gateway for local PSTN breakout. There are endpoints that are in Dubai and the register to the CUCM cluster in London. Dubai have their own MGCP gateway for local breakout to PSTN.
    Here is the problem;
    When a Dubai endpoint makes a call to a PSTN number in dubain there RTP is send from the endpoint, back to the London CUCM, the London CUCM then points the RTP at the gateway in Dubai. This is using a lot of bandwidth and I am not clear on how to change this so the endpoints send media directly to their MGCP gatway.
    In my lab I have sent up 2 CUCM's connected by E1 via MGCP gateways, this is to simulate the PSTN network. I can see that on CUCM 7 this is not the case and media is sent directly to the MGCP gateway, on CUCM 8 media is sent via the CUCM to the MGCP gateway. I have since then added in a software MTP on the MGCP gateway for CUCM 8 and now everything hits the gateway as I have specified MTP is required on the phones profile. This was good but even when I make an internal call, everything hits the MTP instead of using IP-IP direct medial.
    Please can someone advise what I need to do or if this type of behaviour is expected.
    Many thanks,
    Joe

  • Link between Delivery and Sales Order Schedule Line

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a requirement in which i need to display quantity and amount at schedule line level and also the delivery and delivery item for each schedule line.
    For example, if there is a sales order O1 and item 10 for which we have 3 schedule lines and 3 deliveries as well say D1, D2 and D3.
    Report should be something like this
    Sales Order    Item   Schedule Line    Delivery    Del Item   Confirmed Order Qty
    O1                 10      1                       D1           10            5
    O1                 10       2                      D2            10            5
    O1                 10       3                      D3            10            4
    How can i determine that a particular delivery corresponds to which schedule line of that saler order-item?
    We have the link between delivery and sales order but is there any way that we can get the link of delivery at schedule line level?
    Please help.
    Regards,
    Gaurav

    Hi,
    I suppose you must check with SD functional consultant and the post should also be in the logistics SD forum and not BI. But I suppose there is know specific link between the schedule line of SO to the Delivery. It is more like a bucket flow for ex.
    Sale order   Item    Schedule line  qty
    SO1            Item1     Sch1            10
    SO2            Item1      Sch2           10
    Delivery Item QTy
    DO1       IT1   15
    DO2       IT1    5
    In this case qty 15 is distributed over both SO1 and SO2, and SO2 ITem1 Sch2 has link to both the DOs
    So I am not sure if you can establish a one to one link, please check with your SD consultants.
    Regards,

  • When placing a PDF created with Distiller, I only get Crop and Media as import options -- I need it to crop to the Trim! PLEASE HELP!

    I'm having a MAJOR problem placing PDF files in InDesign CS4...
    When I try to place a PDF that has been created in Distiller, the ONLY import options I can choose are CROP and MEDIA. I need it to crop to the TRIM, but that option is grayed out. The PDFs I'm trying to place were created in-house, and converted from Post Script files to PDFs using Distiller. We use PDF/X-1a equivalent settings when creating our PDFs.
    If I export the file as a PDF and then try to place it into a CS4 file, I am able to select Trim as an option.
    ALSO, if I open the Distiller PDF in Acrobat and then save it (without changing anything), I am able to select Trim as an option. A workaround I have found is to open all of the PDF files in Acrobat, save them to my desktop, and then save over the ones I need to place. Here's the problem with that: I work for a publishing company, and need to place hundreds of ads for each issue of our publications, and it adds a lot of time if I have to go and re-save everything just to be able to place all the ads. 
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I need to get this figured out so we can use CS4 for all of our publications again. -- We've gone back to using CS3 until I can get this figured out...
    - Valerie

    Steve,
    Thanks for the reply, but my PDFs all have trim boxes on them. If I try to place the same PDF in InDesign CS3, it gives me Trim as an option. Also, if I open the PDF and save a copy to my desktop, I am able to select Trim as an option when placing the PDF, and I didn't change anything about it.
    I've been trying to see if it's something with the Print Preset settings I'm using, but I can't find anything that seems like it would affect how InDesign would read the Trim area of the PDF.
    I've attached 2 PDF files. One that was created with Distiller, and one that was exported from InDesign CS4. The Distiller one doesn't show Trim as an option in CS4, but the exported one does.... but they started out as the same ad.  Ugh!  Help me please!

  • Keyboard,trackpad and media bar inop at different times......

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7-1264nr That originally came with Windows Vista basic/home...After a clean installation of WIndows Vista Ultimate, the trackpad (touch mouse) and media control (play, pause, mute, forward/back, stop, volume slider) and wireless on off, and "quickplay" touch buttons are inop...They aren't actual "buttons", they're touch buttons, similar to the trackpad. The keyboard is intermittantly inop, although a USB keyboard and mouse work perfectly, and the trackpad (mousing surface) and buttons are alos inop.
    Before I get a lot of messages asking to check the connection ribbon, the NUMLOCK light is illuminated, the trackpad on/off indicator lights (and changes color from "white" to amber) and the media bar, near the display illuminates, and just recently, I got the wireless to connect, and the LED changes from blue to amber, and turns off the wireless network card.
    Is there a "package" of drivers for the entire "system" that Microsoft doesn't have, and can't search for on-line, that I can download from HP? I assume HP has a driver for the entire "control panel" that Microsoft may view as separate pieces....
    I've also noticed that the webcam in the top of the display is not recognized....Possibly another part of the "package" driver I'm lacking?

    Has anyone find a fix for this?  I've been using my Dragon Dictate headset on my MacBook Pro for about a year, and then today, when I plugged it in, I got this:
    4/16/14 10:01:04.000 AM kernel[0]: USBF:    47.766    The IOUSBFamily is having trouble enumerating a USB device that has been plugged in.  It will keep retrying.  (Port 1 of Hub at 0x4000000)
    4/16/14 10:01:07.000 AM kernel[0]: USBF:    50.269    AppleUSBHubPort::FatalError - Port 1 of Hub at 0x4000000 reported error 0xe00002c7 while doing clearing port power feature
    4/16/14 10:01:07.000 AM kernel[0]: USBF:    50.269    The IOUSBFamily was not able to enumerate a device.
    Here is what I have tried so far:
    Reset the PRAM
    Reset SMC
    Verify disk (there were no problems)
    Repair permissions
    Boot with an external USB hard drive (which works fine on the "problem" computer) that contained an old SuperDuper clone of my hard drive from several months ago. I received the same "The IOUSBFamily was not able to enumerate a device" error when I plug in the headset.
    Tried to headset on another computer, and it worked fine.
    Plug in an external USB keyboard into the problem computer, and it works fine.
    All of this would lead me to conclude that it is a hardware problem. But it seems that if it were a hardware problem, the external USB keyboard and external USB hard drive would not work (which they do). If the problem were with the headset, it wouldn't work on another computer, but it does.  So I'm wondering if it's some sort of firmware issue…???????  URG!!!!!!
