Ready to export a 20min short, whats an effective efficient way to combine all scenes?

All the 11 scenes are from separate project files.  I did that because it made loading times 5x faster, So.... now that I'm done should I make ONE separate project file importing ALL 11 scene clips OR should I copy and paste the native files and then export?  Thanks
btw I obviously still plan to add transitions between scenes, whether it be music cues, etc.

Not sure what version of PrPro/Pr you are working with, but two easy choices would be to:
Import the existing Projects into a new one
Export from each Project as an intermediate file, using something like the Lagarith Lossless CODEC, then Import each into a New Project
What I would have done would have been to create each "scene" as a New Sequence in a single Project. I have worked with up to 9 hours of total footage, in 19 separate Sequences in one Project, and even from FW-800 externals, the load time is under 1 min.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • What is the proper way to close all open sessions of a NI PXI-4110 for a given Device alias?

    I've found that, when programming the NI PXI-4110 that, if a the VI "niDCPower Initialize With Channels VI" (NI-DCPower pallette) is called with a device
    alias that all ready has one or more sessions open (due to an abort or other programming error) a device reference results from the reference out that has a (*) where "*" is post-fixed to the device reference where and is an integer starting that increments with each initialize call. In my clean up, I would like to close all open sessions. For example, let's said the device alias is "NIPower_1" in NI Max, and there are 5 open sessions; NIPower_1, NIPower_1 (1), NIPower_1 (2), NIPower_1 (3), and NIPower_1 (4). A simple initialize or reset (using niDCPower Initialize With Channels VI, or, niDCPower Initialize With Channels VI, etc.) What is the proper way to close all open sessions?
    Thanks in advance. Been struggleing with this for days!

    When you Initialize a session to a device that already has a session open, NI-DCPower closes the previous session and returns a new one. You can verify this very easily: try to use the first session after the second session was opened.
    Unfortunately, there is a small leak and that is what you encountered: the previous session remains registered with LabVIEW, since we unregister inside the Close VI and this was never called. So the name of the session still shows in the control like you noted: NIPower_1, NIPower_1 (1), NIPower_1 (2), NIPower_1 (3), and NIPower_1 (4), etc.
    There may be a way to iterate over the registered sessions, but I couldn't find it. However, you can unregister them by calling "IVI Delete Session". Look for it inside "niDCPower Close.vi". If you don't have the list of open sessions, but you have the device name, then you can just append (1), (2) and so forth and call "IVI Delete Session" in a loop. There's no problem calling it on sessions that were never added.
    However - I consider all this a hack. What you should do is write code that does not leak sessions. Anything you open, you should close. If you find yourself in a situation where there are a lot of leaked sessions during development, relaunching LabVIEW will clear it out. If relaunching LabVIEW is too much of an annoyance, then write a VI that does what I described above and run it when needed. You can even make it "smarter" by getting the names of all the NI-DCPower devices in your system using the System Configuration or niModInst APIs.
    Hope this helps.

  • What is the efficient way of insert some bytes into a file?

    Hello, everyone:
    If I want to insert some bytes into a file (for example, insert the bytes before all the original content of the file, or append the bytes to a file), and the size of the original file is very big. I am wondering what is the efficient way? Where can I get some sample codes?

    Thanks, DrClap.
    I have tried your method and you are correct. I have written a simple program which can be used to insert "Hello World " to the start of a file ("c:\\temp\\input.txt"), and I have verified that it can work. Please help to see whether it is correct and whether it has a more efficient way.

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

  • I just purchased a new MacPro to replace my existing 2006 MacPro which cannot be undated with the new operating system.  My question is what is the safest way to transfer all my files.  1) simply install my existing 2TB HD into the new Mac Pro or 2)

    I just purchased a new MacPro 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor to replace my existing 2006 MacPro 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon because it cannot be undated with the new Lion operating system.
    My question is what is the safest way to transfer all my files to the new computer.  1) simply install my existing 2TB HD into the new Mac Pro, set it as the startup drive, and update its10.7  operating system or 2) or use the migration program.
    I'm concerned that simply installing the existing 2TB HD, I may have issues with it not recognising some infromation written for the old 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon.

    your new system runs 10.6.8 just fine as has been said and stated many times.
    I would clone it first.
    I would even clone the original system it has.
    And if you have or want to use Lion and then Mountain Lion, fine - I would still keep backups of every OS.
    I am not a fan of putting the OS and Apps plus all the data all on one drive. I like to keep them separate.
    Whatever OS, rerun the last combo update is all and any other updates.
    And by "new Lion" I assume you don't mean 10.7 but "Moutain" 10.8.  Part of me says keep Lion and SL around, and test and try out ML with your apps and other hardware you may have. After too many years, waiting for 10.8.1 - and give everyone time to update their apps and retest.

  • What's the quickest way to find all calls to some PL/SQL package?

    Here's my situation:
    I have a large application (>100 pages) which has multiple calls to a PL/SQL package procedure X.Y occurring in various processes, conditions, etc on an unknown set of pages. The procedure is being moved to package Z, so I want to replace all instances of X.Y with Z.Y. What is the best way to do this?
    I'm thinking of exporting the application, and doing a manual find and replace of all X.Y with Z.Y, then importing the modified export file. Will this work?
    Alternatively, is there a report available which can be run to show something like this, given an input of X.Y, which shows all pages where X.Y is referenced :
    Page Object
    1 After-submit process abc
    5 item P display condition
    13 validation xyz
    etc
    If not, how easy is it to write such a report from the available apex views?

    Have you looked at the Database Object Dependency report?
    In the Application Builder, select your application.
    In the Tasks list on the right, click on View Application Reports.
    Under the Application menu, click on Database Object Dependencies.
    It will make a list of all database objects used by your application and where they are used.

  • What's the right way to move "all but boot drive"?

    I'm setting up a new Mac Pro with a four-drive RAID-10 set, using an Areca 1680LP RAID controller. Areca doesn't yet have 64-bit EFI support, so I'll need to continue booting off the internal drive for now.
    What can - and what can't - I move, and what's the best way to mount it? I know that Leopard now uses autofs, but I've also seen posts suggesting that it doesn't always "just work".
    Most posts on the topic seem to be about moving the home directory, or mounting network drives. I want to keep everything on the RAID drives, except for what's actually required for EFI to load the kernel.
    OS X doesn't have a separate /boot partition, so: what goes where?

    Sophie:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You're only hope to recover the library as it once was is to: 1 - if you have a backup copy of your iPhoto Library or 2 - you can put everything back exactly the way it was in the Finder.
    Otherwise you'll have to start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your current library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Open the library package like this.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • What's the best way to import ALL of my photos (34k +) and then share?

    *Part I - importing:*
    I've got approximately 34,400 photos on a networked drive that I need to be able to control using iPhoto. I want these files to stay on the network drive, but also be controlled by iPhoto (organized by date). Right now our photos folder on the network drive is a bit of a mess, some folders are named by date only and some are named by the event itself ("birthday 2009", etc.). I want this naming to go away in place of the iPhoto method (by date only). FYI, I am familiar with how to get to the "original" and "modified" folders/files within the iPhoto Library.
    Question: Is there a way to get iPhoto to organize the photos (all by date) an leave the original photos on the networked drive? or do I need to:
    > Import ALL photos into my iPhoto with the "import photos into iPhoto Library" option checked (iPhoto copies all original files to my laptop hard drive)
    > Then manually move the file structure (all new folders created - by date) back to my networked drive
    > THEN...remove all photos from the iPhoto Library and re-import the newly organized photos from the network drive but unchecking the "import photos into iPhoto Library" option.
    Right now, both of our MacBook Pro's use iPhoto to access those photos independently of one another (each laptop does their own thing). This also creates problems because when files are imported on my laptop they are saved locally (on my laptop) and not on the network drive, same goes for my wife's laptop. Then she's not able to see those new photos.
    *Part II - sharing:*
    I'm also in the process of trying to figure out the best way to share all of our photos between our different laptops. Using the "sharing" function in iPhoto isn't ideal since that requires both laptops to be on.
    My understanding of sharing the iPhoto library itself (having it saved on the networked drive) between two laptops is that only one laptop can access this library at a time, or there's potential of having the files become corrupt (two laptops trying to access the file at the same time).
    Question: What's the best way to share photos between two laptops?
    Thanks in advance

    Is there a way to get iPhoto to organize the photos (all by date) an leave the original photos on the networked drive?
    Yes there is. But I don't recommend it as a way of working with iPhoto.
    Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
    Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
    However, you need to be aware of a number of potential pitfalls using this system.
    1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
    2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
    3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
    The problems arise when you change the path to the Files. iPhoto has no way of reconnecting that path and you could find yourself resolving aliases one at a time for all 34k Photos.
    Other apps, such as Aperture have a command to re-connect with the master files.
    FYI, I am familiar with how to get to the "original" and "modified" folders/files within the iPhoto Library.
    Good for you but never, ever access the files this way. Period. Within the iPhoto Package File there are no user sercviceable parts.
    All your work gets done in the iPhoto Window. Everything you need to do can be done from there - and must be.
    Then manually move the file structure (all new folders created - by date) back to my networked drive
    Never, ever break up the internals of the iPhoto Package File. You'll break iPhoto if you do.
    Also, what format is that Networked Drive? iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos.
    Question: What's the best way to share photos between two laptops?
    If simultaneous sharing is your goal then you need to use a Media Server app. iPhoto isn't one.
    The key really is the format of the NAS. IF you can make it Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then you can easily store your Library on it and share it. Otherwise you need to use another application for the job.

  • I just bought a new Macbook. What's the best way to transfer all my info from the old one?

    Hey everyone! I just got my new retina display Macbook Pro, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to transfer all my music/photos/files/data/etc. from my old Mackbook Pro. I have a 1TB external drive and an 8GB flash drive that I can use if I need to. Any sugestions? Thanks!

    What i did with mine, I cloned the drive of my old macbook to my external drive using carbon copy cloner.
    Once i was done with the clone - i used migration assistant to transfer my apps/data/pictures/files over my new macbook....
    when using migration assistant - do not transfer your old settngs and if you're doing an app transfer, only transfer the ones you need and that you know will work with your Retina...
    good luck..
