Relink 100 of files at once?

Is there anyway to relink a directory and actaully let Premier search for my footage? Right now I am manually puting my cut together of hunderds of files.
if this doesnt exsist can we get this in a future update of cs5 as it is really odd this has not been implemented before, especially in a day and age when studios are apart and mostly online.

Thats what I have done they came from a windows machine to my mac so i just used find to attach the files, defnitly needs a simple add directory feature to search in, problem solved. the odd thing is After effects kind of does that once you relink a single file and the same files are in that folder it relinks all of them, how ever it does not search sub directories.
so I am frustrated as I the work was all over the place, I cleaned the working director and placed all the footage into neat folders easy to find and understand, only to find that Premier did not like this idea one bit.

Relinking many media files at once when there is duplicate media?

Has anyone had an issue where they have two sets of the same files (say a folder structure on a network and a folder structure locally on faster drives) and when trying to relink to one or the other set, Premiere defaults to the previous location?
I work with people over a slow network, where they give me files and I update them, etc. I pull media locally to my machine, mimicking the file structure, in order to have realistic playback performance. This requires me to take the media files offline and relink them to my local drive. If I select a group of files (more than two) and choose to link media to my local machine, it will ask me to point to the first file in the list. When I do that, Premiere is SUPPOSED to search that local file structure and find media in a similar location...at least, that's what Final Cut does. However, what it actually does is relink that first clip locally that it asked me for and then relink everything else I had selected back to the original location on the network.
The only solution I found was to dismount the network drive. I shouldn't have to do this.
Is this something others have encountered?

when i had and older pc, i have to always work whit proxies. And I found the same problem you say.
when relinking ppro always try to reconnect to the same location where it was. what I did was,
2 folders.
proxies
orginals
when I do the relink, first I rename the folder proxies. It is not the most elegant way.
But it works !!!

I can relink a psd file to a jpeg file but not multiple files at once

Initially I posted a question yesterday that Bob Levine helpfully answered -
How to update all psds in Indesign doc to jpegs?
Bob answered with - "You can batch convert them in Photoshop and save them in a new folder. As long as the file names are the same you can relink them easily by using the relink to folder command from the links panel. There's a choice in there to relink to the same name with a new extension."
This worked fine if I did the following:
Right click on PSD file I want to relink in the Links panel, choose relink, select the jpeg file in the folder.
However if I select all the PSD files in the links panel, choose relink to folder command, choose the folder along with ticking the box for "match same filename but this extension: jpeg"
I get an error message "Failed to find ** links in new folder.These links will not be relinked and will remain selected in the Links Panel."
The same thing happens if I select all the links and select "Relink File Extension" (This time I've placed all the jpeg files with exact same filename in the same folder as the original PSD files).
So, I still can't do multiple relinks without having to individually select each file I want to relink. Does anyone know what could be preventing Indesign from relinking all my files at once?
Desperately in need of an answer and thanking you in advance for all your time and understanding.
Regards,
Fuiru

Nope I wasn't putting a dot in the file extenstion
field BUT I was putting "jpeg" instead "jpg".
Now it works. Thanks Peter.

Please Help! Adobe Opens 100 files at once

All of the sudden whenever I try to open a file in Adobe Reader 9.0 it opens the file I want and 100 other files as well
How can I stop this?

Hello:
I presume you are referring to opening PDF files from a Web page? Are you able to open PDF files that are on your local system without any difficulty? If so, that narrows it down to a browser plugin issue. I have seen similar plugin issues that could only be resolved by creating a new Windows profile (Adobe's suggestion which works but is a sledge hammer compared to what the true fix could be) which leads me to believe that the root of the problem lies in the Windows registry. If you are up for testing this theory, simply create a "test" profile on the system (control panel - User Accounts) in question and see if the problem persists in the newly created profile or not.
Operating system version?
Web browser version?
Reader version?
Let me know the results.

Add bookmarks to all pdf files at once using javascript or apple script

Hello
I have a folder containing pdf files of a survey.
There is also a 'surveyname.pdf' file which consists of a number of pages.
These pages have to be bookmarked for easy reference.There is a 'dummy.pdf' file which has all the bookmarks of the survey pages. I am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 to open this file.
There are also some map pdf's in the same folder.
How can I add the bookmarks that are in the 'dummy.pdf' file to all the other pdf files in the same folder at once instead of doing one at a time which consumes a lot of time for 100-120 files?
I use extendscript toolkit for writing the javscript or applescript code.
I would be grateful if anyone could help me in solving this.
Thankyou
Krishna

Here are some examples of doing the insert and the save in a separate operation. You can put them together on your own.

//From the JS Reference:
this.insertPages ({

nStart: 0
//Example of a trustedFunction SaveAs

app.beginPriv();
this.saveAs(cPath);
app.endPriv();

Relinking assets to files

Hi all,
Does anybody knows how to relink an asset to a file if we move the file after inserting it in FCS?
Or alternatively move the files inside FCS from one device to another?
Objective is reorganize the storage (space allocated).
Regards

Really you're not supposed to be moving files around on your file system once it has been scanned into FCSvr. If you do move it, essentially FCSvr looks at it as though you have deleted the file. Later it will notice a 'new' asset during the Full Scan in the new location. The downsides to this happening is your metadata associated with that file is gone and a new proxy must be generated. Depending on how many files you do this to you could be introducing a lot of activity for FCSvr.
The best practice would be to design your file system so that it lasts long term. Develop a method of organization that would not require moving files too often.

How do I change permissions on many files at once?

Hello!
I recently had a large hard drive crash, and, long story short, I got all my data back but now have a different user account on a new hard drive. The permissions on all the files on the computer are fine.
However, I am a recently graduated film student and use an external drive to edit video. When I tried to open up Final Cut Pro and work on a project, I was told that the program couldn't work because I didn't have "write" access to my scratch drives. I changed the permissions on the relevant folders and can now open the application fine, but can't actually edit because ALL the medi files don't give me full read/write access.
I can change them all one at a time, which requires I enter my password for each one, but this would take a few days of work to complete.
My question is: how can I add my user account with read/write permission to many files at once? I've heard this can be done with Terminal, but I'm not sure how.
Please give me step-by-step instructions if you can! I have never used Terminal before! I am not a techie, but I want to be, and I learn quickly!
My computer specs:
15in Macbook Pro, early 2008.
System 10.5.8

In the Finder's Get Info window, under permissions, you can click the little gear icon and set the "Apply to encoded items" flag. Then when you change permissions, it will apply to everything underneath the selected folder.

How can I convert multiple hidden files into normal files at once?

I have a folder with a few hundred hidden files that I no longer want hidden. If I were to change each file separately it would take hours to finish. I was hoping that there was some way to convert all of these files at once with the terminal. Can anyone offer a solution? Thanks.

Can anyone help?

Bug in Preview in Snow Leopard when opening multiple pdf files at once

I receive 50-200 pdf files by e-mail each day. I have historically saved the pdf attachments to a folder, then selected all the pdf files in the folder (CMD A), then opened all the selected files in Preview (CMD O). After updating to Snow Leopard, downloading 34 pdf files to a folder, selecting them all, then attempting to open them all in Preview (using both CMD O, then File/Open, then File/Open With), the effort first opens 6 of the 34 files. Closing all then trying again results in 7 files being opened, closing all then trying again results in 8 files being opened, etc etc. Earlier today I had the same results, but eventually got a message asking if I wanted to open all in separate windows (I did) or a single window, and it opened all the files at once as I wanted. After shutting down, moving home, and receiving additional pdf files, however, back to the same open 5, then open 6, etc. problem. Anyone else having this problem or a suggestion on how to resolve?
Thanks for suggestions,
B

More info - apparently the bug isn't related to Preview, but to the attempt to open all pdf files in the folder with ANY program. After having Preview open 25 of the 34 files I was attempting to open, I then tried opening all 34 with Adobe Reader. It opened 26 (after Preview had opened 25). Tried again with Preview - it opened 27, then 28 with Adobe Reader. It doesn't necessarily open the FIRST 25 (or 26, etc) either, so it's difficult to work with the open ones, then go back and work with the remaining ones later.

Why am I unable to open multiple PDF files at once?

I'm trying to open and view 28 PDF files, but am unable to do so. I have recently upgraded my computer and am now using Windows 7 with 12 GB of RAM. On my older system I was able to open this many PDF files at once, but now I am not able to do so. I can selects and open about 10 PDF files, but when I choose more than that and right-click on the files I do not get an option to open the files. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Select 10 files and open the files, then select and open the next 10 files.

How can I print multiple files at once

I have to print construction plan sheets on 11x17 paper. All of the files are generally .tif or .pdf. How can I select all of the files at once and print them all at once instead of having to open each sheeet and print them one by one?

Oner way is to drag and drop the files into your print queue. You can open the queue from System Preferences - Print and Scan, click on your printer and click Open Queue.

Can't open more than one file at once (Indesign CS3)

hi there
I have to deal with a strange problem, every time (well actually randomly) I try to open more than one indesign file at once, indesign just stays in the background and I can't get it to show up.
the only thing I can to is force quite the application and restart indesign. Sometimes I'm able to see one of the open documents but I can't do anything with it (as there are no tools and no other indesign windows).
Im not the only one having this problem, my work mate just updated his osx from 10.4 to 10.5, and now he is having the same problems...
any suggestions why that is?
cheers
(my system: mac 2x2.66ghz dual-core intel xeon, 1gb ram, osx 10.5.2, indesign cs3
my work mates system: mac G5, 1gb ram, indesign cs3, osx 10.5.2)

Every system has issues when its first released.
What's the point of jumping to a new system on a production machine when everything works perfectly in the old system?
Monitor these forums and other boards and as soon as Apple and Adobe have a fix jump to the new system.

Unable to relink to identical file in different location

I have a library I created over a year ago. The library is stored on an external hd and the media is stored on the external as well, although it's referenced via sym links (not stored in the library itself). I also have all the media backed up on a server.
What I'd like to do is relink all of the media from the external drive to the files on our server. What I did, was copy the library from the external HD to the computer, eject the external drive so it can't link to any of the media. Then open the copied library (on mac) in Final Cut Pro X and go in to relink files. Here is where the issue comes into play:
I can relink all the files except 2100 clips from a Canon 5D Mark III. Even if I grab the exact same file that was on the external HD and copy it to the server, it will no longer relink. After digging around and adding a clip from the server to the library, I've found out that there is now timecode on the exact same clip. It's almost like when I originally added the video clip a year and a half ago, FCPX didn't recognize SMPTE and so the timecode started at 00:00:00. Now it does and it thinks the clips are completely different. I'm in search for another workaround, but at the moment, the only way I know of is to open a clip in Quicktime 7 and manually go in and delete the timecode, save the file and then it will link. With 2100 clips, this becomes problematic.
I'm using the latest version of Yosemite and FCPX
Any suggestions on the best way to solve it?

Yes, ASO has the concept of 'tablespaces'. There are four (default, temp, log and metadata) but you probably just want to move the 'default' and 'temp' tablespaces to your SAN location. Temp will look really small (i.e. empty) until you run a restructure or aggregation and then it'll explode to the size of the default tablespace so it's important not to miss.
See the section on 'Managing Storage for ASO Databases' here http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_dbag/asysadmn.html, or the 'alter tablespace' MaxL command here http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_tech_ref/maxl_alttabl.html.
EDIT: Actually, looking at the documentation, I see that you can't move the metadata or log tablespaces. But you're probably only going to care about 'default' and 'temp' anyway.
