Re-linking media by name and duration

Hi,
i'v been trying to link a media which has the same name but in different locations. (MTS Files)
I didnt find a quick solution out there (Google, Adobe Forums) which not involved to some extent re-link each file separately. Similar problem were posted at this post, Which Jim SImon Answered:
"This is a major flaw in the AVCHD design.  You will have a hard time with this one, as there is no way to know which 0013.mts is being asked for.  It's a big enough issue that you may want to seriously consider doing all the work on one machine."
And yet, it seems simple to me to use the duration feature (its embedded in the project file), to help premiere to distinguish between two kind of 0013.mts files. this is the way ill will do it manually, and it seems silly that premiere could not do the same.
mybe there is a plugin\script out there which uses the same line of thought, or any get around solution.
Thanks,
BISLY

Hi jim,
Whats the hold up?
As known AVCHD recording is quite common, and almost every project i'v worked on has arroused this kind of issue.
Maybe it a feature to think about for the next version of premiere...
In my case, im working on a consolidate project of the main one, which addded automatically to all of the similar files an extension of 001, 002 and so on.
so when im linking the media, even the name is not the same and the duration is really my only indication. as there is a "match exact name" feature, maybe there could be "match exact duration" which you can turn on\off seperately.It will help a lot.

  • Batch Capture Changes Media Start, End, and Duration

    Hello all... For some reason, when I batch capture from an imported batch list in FCP 4.5, the program changes the media start, end, and duration just slightly once the capture has completed. Does anyone know why this might be occurring?

    OK... I don't believe it has to do with drop frame or non-drop frame issues, and here's why... I ran a series of tests.
    The footage was originally shot with two cameras, an A Cam and a B Cam, which were Jam Synced together. The original A Cam tapes were log and captured normally. But for the B Cam tapes, we exported a batch list to excel, performed a rename function where _B was added to all file names and reel names, and brought the data back into FCP by importing a Batch List at 29.97.
    For the tests, I experimented with only one clip. First, I noted the timecode for the media start and media end when the file was uncaptured. Next, I placed the A Cam Tape in the deck and did a batch capture on the one clip. The program changed the media start and end times upon hitting ok. Here were the results of the first test:
    LOGGED: MS (05:50:39:26) ME (05:51:41:01)
    CAPTURED A CAM: MS (05:50:39:17) ME (05:51:41:07)
    Then, I undid the capture so that the timecode would revert back to the precaptured state. I placed the B Cam tape in the deck and ran the capture again, on the same clip, in Batch Capture mode. The program changes the media start and end yet again, but this time, changed it in a different way:
    LOGGED: MS (05:50:39:26) ME (05:51:41:01)
    CAPTURED B CAM 1st Attempt: MS (05:50:39:16) ME (05:51:41:06)
    So then I undid the capture again to revert back to the logged settings, and put the EXACT same tape in the deck, and ran the batch capture in exactly the same way. This time however, FCP didn't change anything. It logged the clip correctly. I tried it yet again, in the same way, and it did it perfectly again:
    LOGGED: MS (05:50:39:26) ME (05:51:41:01)
    CAPTURED B CAM 2nd Attempt: MS (05:50:39:26) ME (05:51:41:01)
    CAPTURED B CAM 3rd Attempt: MS (05:50:39:26) ME (05:51:41:01)
    So I ask again... what is up with FCP 4.5?

  • Link between PDS name and resource

    Hi folks,
    I've established a link between /SAPAPO/TRPROD and Setup Matrices using PDS name and resource to use in a custom extractor for BI. This works well starting out at /SAPAPO/TRPROD and working my way over to the Setup Matrix tables using function modules BAPI_PDSSRVAPS_GETLIST and BAPI_RSSRVAPS_GETLIST.
    Now I want to validate that it's correct that I'm getting 0 results in a test system. Since /SAPAPO/TRPROD has some 3000 entries and /SAPAPO/SET_MID only 2, I figured it'd be easier if I take those two matrices and see if I can link them back to /SAPAPO/TRPROD (where I won't get any results). Does this make sense so far?
    Moving on ... I've found that in table /SAPAPO/RES_HEAD I can find the resource associated with a Setup Matrix. I can't figure out though how to link the resources to the PDS. Any ideas?

    Hi Jan!
    You say that you want to link the resources with the PDS, right? Do you mean that you want to find a way to discover the resource associated with the PDS activities? If so, you can do that by reading the activity information of the PDS and getting the resource maintained there...
    But I don't fully understand your business requirement... So let me know if I got your issue wrong.

  • Linking PCI device names and drivers

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a PCI device with a class code of "ethernet" so the name
    created in the device tree is eg:
    "/pci@1f,0/pci@1/ethernet@3"
    I can run add_drv and attach my driver to this just fine.
    But what if I had another PCI ethernet card from a different
    vendor but still with a class code of "ethernet"? How would I
    get one driver associated with one device and a second driver
    the other? I've run add_drv with -i 'pciXXXX,X' but the
    name in the device tree is still "ethernet" and therefore this
    is what shows up in /etc/path_to_inst?
    My attach routine will check the vendor id and device id of
    the device and will fail the attach call for the "wrong"
    device. If I then add_drv the second driver for the second
    card, I see entries in /etc/path_to_inst with two drivers for each
    "ethernet" device. Will this cause problems in the long run?
    Thanks!
    Janice

    Hi
    First of all the IEEE 1275 PCI Bus Binding ( which can be found at
    http://playground.sun.com) clearly states that "ethernet" is one
    of the "Generic Names" listed in this manual. See portion of this
    document below.
    a) In collections of OS drivers, avoid the use of generic names for
    the drivers themselves. For example, it is generally unwise to name a
    driver ethernet, since there are many different ethernet adapters with
    different programming models. Using the generic name ethernet to
    identify only one such driver is presumptuous.
    You may go through one of these dicsussions to get more info on setting
    the "compatible property" through the driver.conf file.
    You may already be familiar with most of it,but it clarifies how
    a Sun system differentiates between the onboard hme card and the
    add on SunSwift card. Although they both use the same driver, you
    can create different driver.conf files when the drivers are different
    and use the compatible property field to identify the proper driver.
    To Configure Driver Parameters With PCI-bus Based Systems
    1.Obtain the hardware path name for the device in the device tree.
    Typically this path name and the associated instance number will be
    present in the /etc/path_to_inst file. For example, on a Sun Ultra 30
    UPA/PCI system in which one SunSwift-PCI card is plugged in, the
    /etc/path_to_inst file will have the following two entries (in
    addition to entries for other devices):
    "/pci@1f,4000/network@1,1" 0 "hme"
    "/pci@1f,4000/pci@4/SUNW,hme@0,1" 1 "hme"
    The first entry corresponds to the hme device on the motherboard.
    The second entry corresponds to the hme device on the SunSwift-PCI
    card.
    In the previous lines:
    The first part within the double quotes specifies the hardware node
    name in the device tree.
    The second number is the instance number.
    The last part in double quotes is the driver name.
    In the device path name, the last component after the last / character
    and before the @ character is the device name.
    The path name before the last component is the parent name.
    The comma-separated numbers after the @ character at the end
    represent the device and function numbers, which are together referred
    to as unit-address.
    To identify a PCI device unambiguously in the hme.conf file, use the
    name, parent name, and the unit-address for the device. Refer to the
    pci(4) man page for more information about the PCI device specs.
    In the first line of the previous example:
    Name = network
    Parent = /pci@1f,4000
    Unit-address = 1,1
    In the second line in the previous example:
    Name = SUNW,hme
    Parent = /pci@1f,4000/pci@4
    Unit-address = 0,1
    2.Set the ipg1 and ipg2 parameters for the above two devices in the
    /kernel/drv/hme.conf file:
    name = "SUNW,hme" parent = "/pci@1f,4000" unit-address = "1,1" ipg1=10
    ipg2=5;
    name = "SUNW,hme" parent = "/pci@1f,4000/pci@4" unit-address = "0,1"
    ipg1=20 ipg2=10;
    Note that for the motherboard device, the SUNW,hme device is used even
    though the path name uses the name network. The SUNW,hme device name
    is the value of the compatible property for this device.

  • Adding link to the photo and Name in the outlook contact card -Enterprise wide

    How can I make the name and photo in the outlook contact card link to my profile page? I read articles where it is mentoined that the URL is set in Registry, currently my organization does not have any link associated with photo and name in contact card.
    I want to implement this across the organization , any deployment or changes that I need to do to implement this across?
    Appreciate if you can provide details on how this is done. The url will look like this:
    https://www.produrl.com/userid={userid}
    How can I dynamically add respective userid in the link?Appreciate your response on this.

    So you want to redesign the contact card in Outlook? Are you using SharePoint? If signed into sharepoint via the social connect, there is a link to the mysharepoint page under View source. I don't think you can change the link or customize the card,

  • Exported PNG files getting extra characters in name and linked files losing link

    UGH!.. Hope that made sense.
    Okay...I work on a couple hundred graphics for software at a time, usually creating each piece in a layer with the correct naming convention as the layer name.  Then I use the "Save Layers and PNG. Artboard" script for batch export them into the ONG files...all named properly.  This was a Blessing from heaven.
    However, about three months ago, Illustrator starting adding a "dash" mark in place of a space between words.  I can't link this to an update or other change, wish I could.  This is causing a huge problem..as the software these graphics are for REQUIRES the names be perfect...including the spaces (Can't be underscores, nada).  I'm having to go through an manually rename over half the files just to remove this dash mark.
    There is nothing in the original script for this. 
    I have gone through all the settings.  I have adjusted the Output Settings / Saving Files to eliminate every instance AI is asked to add anything but a space.   Although I'm not sure if these Output settings are used when the script runs.  Don't know if it's the script, some other setting buried somewhere.
    Any other thoughts or solutions?  Are there other scripts that do the same job that I might try to see if I get better results?  I attached a link to a download of my current script
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23703370/SaveLayersAsPNGArtboard.jsx
    Second issue isn't script based, but I'll ask anyway.  Regularly, when I open an AI file that has PNGs, JPG, and other graphics in the file, the "links" have been lost and require me to manually re-link each one, or delete the now empty file object and add it back in.  This includes embedded objects.
    The AI file, nor the graphics have been edited, changed, renamed, or any of the files or folders moved.  Nothing that would cause this that I can think of.  ANyone have a thought why this is happening and how I can prevent it?

    I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
    In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
    I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself.

  • Preserving tape name and media start/end

    I shoot lots of tapes of random footage to get short general-purpose clips for use later. Years ago when I started, I would preview in the capture window via device control, carefully set log in/out points, and let batch capture make all my little clips. Then I learned how hard that is on my camera's heads, so I got Scenalizer Live and used a new workflow - I captured my whole tape, and then sliced, trimmed, and renamed the "keeper" clips. But since most of my clips don't need audio and SCLive doesn't know how to make a video-only AVI, most recently I've gone back to using PPro for the slice and rename operation, putting the captured video on the timeline, slicing and dicing, and then "exporting to movie" the good pieces to make new AVIs, with only video and with the filenames I want. (Yes, I know there are purists out there who would be concerned about generational loss of methods 2 and 3, but in DV-AVI I just can't see how any mere mortal could tell the difference.)
    But just now I discovered that only my first method preserved the information of where the clip originally came from, i.e. the Tape Name, Media Start, and Media End. All the rest lost that information when I trimmed the clips in either SCLive or PPro. Argh!
    These clips are a lost cause, but for the future, is there a better workflow, one that will preserve both the clip information and my tape heads?

    I agree - the metadata doesn't need to be repeated for every frame - just once for the clip.
    If the clip gets chopped up in PPro (or SCLive or whatever program), it doesn't seem like it should be that hard for the software to just do the math - if I have a two-minute NTSC clip that was originally captured from timecode 12:00:00 to 13:59:29, and I chop it into a 30 sec. clip and a 90 second clip (silly simple example), the resulting two clips should still preserve the Tape Name and other info, and the start/end times should be 12:00:00-12:29:29 and 12:30:00-13:59:29. But instead both PPro and SCLive delete the Tape Name, and the start times of the resaved clips are all zero. Naturally if what is on the timeline when I save is a composite of multiple clips it's a different story, but if the only editing has been to simply put the clip on the timeline and adjust the end points and/or cut with the razor tool, it would be nice if the capture data was preserved.

  • Carousel don't show images, only the page name and a "read more" link

    Good morning.
      I'm trying to get a carousel in my page. I already set a image to one page and on my carousel component, I selected that page.
      When I see the carousel, it shows me the page inputed name and a "read more" link instead of the image.
      Can anyone tell me what's wrong or missed?
      Heres a print screen:
    Thanks.

    What did I do to correct this problem:
       When I create a page renderer component, the same automatically creates a jsp file, with the same name as the component. In my Geometrixx copy sites, there's always a "content.jsp" file in the components, despite of the one with the same name of the component. So, instead of build my pages in the componentname.jsp, i'm doing this is these content.jsp. Just doing this, the carroussel works perfectly. For sure is something that I miss in my own jsp files, but even with the same code (copy > paste), in my jsp the carroussel don't work. Anyway, now I can use it.

  • How do remap drive names and not lose project clip links to Event names...?

    how do remap drive names and not lose project clip links to Event names...?

    You will need an extra external drive. All moves must be done within iMovie to preserve your links to the projects.
    First Move (command-drag) the event to the extra drive. Make sure the project still works.
    Then rename, reformat, or repartition your drive as needed. Then, if you want, move the Event back to the newly named drive, again via Command-Drag within iMovie.

  • Utility or script "each clip = new movie and let media file = name"

    I've found out that if I want to split a clip at the playhead and make it a new AS-IS original with a unique media file name designation; I have to go through:
    file>export> as full quality movie > check the "selected clips only " box > copy and paste the name and then designate destination folder> CLICK and then wait until done. (Thank you Karl)
    Unfortunately, completing this process with 180 clips per project x 15 to 20 projects per quarter... well it was more than I was prepared to do.
    Therefore... is there anyone out there who could (or has already) program(ed) some kind of script/utility/add-on that would create a new AS-IS clip from each clip that was "split at the playhead" and ALSO, make those final clips as well as every other existing clip in the project have its media file designation the same as its name.
    ie "each clip = new full quality movie and let its media file = name."
    This would save me around 10 hours per week.
    mac pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Karsten is correct. iMovie itself does not support AppleScript.
    But for applications that don't support AppleScript, Apple offers a "System Events" AppleScripting alternative. It lets an AppleScript script use System Events to do things in OTHER applications. It can act on window objects, like click on a button. Theoretically, System Events can do just about any task in iMovie.
    Except, unfortunately, select a clip.
    That's right, there is no way to select a clip with a script. So a script can't control which object to act on. YOU have to select the clip manually. That's not an insurmountable problem, but it does mean you can't tell the script to export every clip in the Timeline.
    Probably the easiest way to do what you want is with QuicKeys, the third-party software that lets you define tasks, then assign a key to perform that task. Just about any task you can imagine. One kind of task is a macro to perform a series of actions. QuicKeys lets you record macros in any application. Its record function makes macro-writing pretty easy.
    (QuicKeys is one of those utilities I wouldn't be without. I use QuicKey keys hundreds of times a day for repetitive tasks.)
    Back to AppleScript. Theoretically, QuickTime Player Pro can do what you want. QuickTime Player is VERY scriptable.
    Here's the trick: Each time we save the iMovie project, iMovie updates the "Timeline Movie.mov" that's inside the Cache folder (inside the project package). When iMovie saves, it sets the selected frames of that movie to match the selected clip in the TimeLine. When you open the "Timeline Movie.mov" in QuickTime Player, the selected video/audio matches the clip selected in iMovie.
    So after you select a clip in iMovie, an AppleScript could save the iMovie project (to update the Timeline Movie), open the Timeline Movie in QuickTime, Copy the selected frames, Paste them into a new movie, then save the new movie.
    Back to QuicKeys. QuicKeys can work across multiple applications just like an AppleScript. So theoretically you could run part of a macro in iMovie and another part in QuickTime Player. And, if I recall, QuicKeys can run AppleScript scripts.
    What you REALLY want is an application that knows how to read iMovie project files and automatically exports each clip to its own movie.
    Maybe I'm missing some simple work-around. That'd be sweeeeeet!
    Yup. Sometimes the best solution is to avoid the problem, not solve it.
    We can export a project to the camera, then re-import it to a new iMovie project. When we do, most clips on the Timeline return as discrete clips. Clips like titles will not be editable, of course.
    That is best done early on, before we add titles, transitions and such. Import the newly-shot video, do a rough edit to get rid of the stuff you don't want, export the Timeline to the camera, re-import to a new project. All the junk will be gone and now each clip is a discrete clip with its own source file. NOW add titles and such.

  • Dynamic Link Media Server error - lost video reference file and can't replace

    I've had this problem twice in the last 4 days and both times it's coincided with an internet drop-out in the office. I've imported an uncompressed QT .mov into Audition CC, splitting the video and audio tracks, and added both to a multitrack session. I'm using the video reference track to sync SFX to an animation. The problem is that the video track stops playing in the video window, and Audition crashes. We've had problems with our internet connection and this problem occured when the internet dropped out. I wait for the internet to come back online and restart Audition, and get the following message:
    "This file can only be imported using the Dynamic Link Media Server process, but it is still starting and cannot yet be used. Please wait while the process initializes and we import the selected files."
    The app takes 30 seconds to load and my video reference track has disappeared and is labelled "Offline". I can't replace it in the multitrack timeline, even if I try to reimport the original .mov file into the project it only displays the file as audio with no video. I'm not using Premier and don't need to sync between apps, I just need Audition to recognise a video track on my local hard drive.
    FYI: I'm running OS X 10.9.1 with Audition CC and have turned on "Enable DMLS Format support" in preferences.
    Any help would be much appreciated as I'm thinking of reverting to Ableton!

    Is this DMLS update ok for CC apps? RE: 10.9.1, looks like that update is for Mac Pro late 2013 machines, I'm running off a Mac Pro from 2010. Sounds like it wont be compatible?
    On the 'about' link it says at the top "The OS X Mavericks v10.9.1 Update is recommended for all OS X Mavericks users." Sounds pretty unequivocal to me. You'd need absolute confirmation from Durin, but I can't on the face of it see why the latest version of DMLS wouldn't be compatible with the previous version - IOW, it should be fine. If either isn't, then they should refuse to install. But with the way that Apple has screwed up Mavericks, in all honesty, all bets are off about that, and I'm glad that I'm a W7 PC user.
    I've wasted quite a lot of time lately fixing several ridiculous problems with Macs, including Mountain Lion's amazing ability to trash Wifi, etc, and quite frankly, I'm not impressed with them at all. So it's not blind prejudice, or even blatent bias this time either - FWIW I'm similarly underwhelmed with Windows 8.

  • Dynamic link media offline...will only reconnect if both AE and Premiere Pro CC are open

    Hi,
    I have a sequence that has dynamic linked media and it will not re-connect unless I have the after effects project open as well? This is causing major issues with render time. I have updated my mac, made sure my CUDA Driver is up to date Version: 7.0.36 and all of my adobe applications are up to date as well. Any ideas as to what is causing this error. I considered leaving both programs opening while exporting but the render time jumps up to 20 hours :~X and it is just a 27 minute wedding ceremony....only 1080p.

    I do not. I made sure to uninstall them prior to going to CC. However, after multiple tests/theories I believe to have discovered the issue. I was using a third party plug in called neat video, which is a denosier. I found that overtime I use this effect the link would not hold up and I could not get it to reconnect unless both programs were open. I decided to try red giants denoiser on the same project and I had no issue connecting through dynamic link even when AE was not open. I'm not sure that this is the only solution or if was the root problem...but it seems to have fixed my issue. Everything seems to be working properly now that I have removed the neat video filters in after effects. Thanks for your time and help!
