Renaming MXF files and pulling them out of their file structure
My company's workflow necessitates that we pull mxf files out of the file structure and rename them. I know this is a big no-no, but with CalibratedMXF it is no problem.
My proposed workflow was to use Prelude to locate the mxf files from where they are backed up on my drive, ingest them, copy them to a new location, and rename them.
In attempting this process, however, I am realizing that Prelude will not pull mxf files out of their file structure. It copies the entire mxf folder structure to the new location, and renames the media only in Prelude (the clip name, not the filename).
The only way to get Prelude to rename and discard with folder structure upon copy to new location is to check the 'Transcode' box and transcode the media.
I want to work natively in mxf, I do not wish to transcode or rewrap.
My workaround was to transcode the files to the exact same setting: MXF Op1a with preset 'Match Source (rewrap)'
However this process simply forces Prelude to crash.
Any suggestions on how I can batch copy and rename mxf files, instead of going through each level of folders for each clip and dragging the file out and manually renaming one by one?
Prelude CC
OS X 10.9.5
3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
files are C300 MXF Op1a MPEG-2
Hi Kaye,
Sorry if I missed this in your description of the problem, but what device is generating the MXF files you are attempting to rewrap? Also, when Prelude crashes, which it should not do obviously, does the crash reporter launch? If so, can you copy or attach the report into a reply?
Thanks!

}Edited by: Ardour on Mar 4, 2008 1:53 PMI haven't looked closely, but my spidey sense tingles at this:
new FileOutputStream(MPath)This will clobber (erase) the previous contents of the file. Open in append mode:
new FileOutputStream(MPath, true)Of course, if the file exists before you run this code, you will end up append to the original contents. If that is not wanted, consider using File's delete method first. -
How Do I Extract All Pages From A Pdf File and Turn Them All Into Separate Files
Hi i have downloaded 100 reports into a single pdf, that must be extracted into 100 seperate pdfs. A prety straightforward question, that i was not able to find a straighforward answer to.
Thanks for your help in advance!
Matti have Adobe Acrobat Pro, Version 10, would that work?
Mind you, I want to take the 100 pages and turn them into 100 pdf files, avoiding of course going through the process of doing it one page at a time, one page at a time, one hundred times lol -
When I bought my macbook pro, I deleted the app in the dock that complies all your open files together. When you click on the app it fans all the icons out. What is that app called and how do I find it again/get it back??
Thanks!okay... got that...but before I deleted it, it would "fan" all my open web pages, or open PDF files. So they were in a little folder as opposed to lined up beside my trash bin?
make any sense? -
This was listed as a new feature in the 10.1 Logic Pro X update but how do you do it? I don't see it in any documentation.
ThanksI haven't had time yet to investigate most of the new functions.. so no, not at this time...
have you tried just digging around yourself and see what you can find?
Otherwise,
Maybe Edgar knows?
or..
if you post up a link here to a MCI Audio file.. Ill play around a little..... -
my iWeb image names are incompatible with FTP servers and must be renamed but I can't find the images in iWeb. I can upload to a desktop file and change them there but then I would need to download them to a new site in iWeb to publish them.
What's the answer?
ThanksMany thanks to responded to my question and sorry not to get back sooner.
Yes, I discovered by this unfortunate experience that the names of photos are a serious issue if the site is to ever go to an FTP server. Apple should discuss this carefully in their "manual".
One more question: I uploaded the website to a folder on my desktop. When I open it, unlike the photos in iWeb, there are folders for each page which have all the photos in them. I went through each folder and changed the names to be FTP compatible. I'm using iWeb SEO Tool which allows one to upload from this local folder to an FTP server but having trouble.
Is this because there is an imbedment in iWeb that uses the old photo names to link to the actual photos and it can't find them because of the name changes?
Thanks again for your help ...

Dynamic translations - how do i pull them out?
Hello everyone,
just a quick question:
Suppose i have a hundred dynamic translation loaded in Apex, how do i pull them out in case i want to load them on a different apex environment?
It seems to me that there is no way to export them, but hopefully i am wrong.
Bye,
Flavio
http://oraclequirks.blogspot.comhow nice when one realizes that there is a solution exactly in the same moment while one is pressing the "post message" button.
Here is my "epiphany":
dynamic translations are based on user data, which means that these data must be stored somewhere.
Now, to pull out the translations one must execute the APEX_LANG.LANG function for the desired language(s) and store the result in some table if the returned text is different from the source text. If the text is equal for both languages it is reasonable to think that the translated text is missing or redundant.
Thanks for my help :-D
Flavio
PS: however i still think it could be useful to have the option of exporting existing dynamic translations in the XLIFF files as for other named messages. -

How to read *.pdf files and store them in a database?
Dear programmers,
I have problem with reading *.pdf files and store them in a database.
can any one help me, please!
Is it possible to read more than one file from the local system and store them in a database.

Depending on your choice of database software, it may or may not support the storage of binary large objects (BLOBs). -
I "shared" the songs I made in garageband to itunes. Now the songs have some extra time of silence after they end, which makes the album i'm trying to put together feel more broken. I want to make the tracks flow perfectly through each other. I want to do it permanently, also, so that when i share the album it doesn't have space in it.
In the past I have imported all the songs into one garageband file and arranged them so they slightly overlap as a continuous track but then i didn't know how to split them back up so the tracks would still be actually separated. I can't find any information on this. I know I can sort of cut the songs in the "get info" options in itunes, but the song still lists as longer, itunes just makes it jump early.
ThanksFor the missing Artists on your iPod, make sure their tracks in iTunes are not marked as "Part of a compilation" in iTunes. You can do this by highlighting the track, right->clicking on them and choosing "Get Info" from the shortcut menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Info tab and make sure there is NO tick mark next to this option in the lower right hand corner. Lastly, sync the updated changes to your iPod.

How do I process multiple files and turn them from raw to jpeg
How do I process multiple files and turn them from raw to jpeg. Ive tried and it seems to go through the files but doesnt seem to process them or store them in the selected folder
Yes that was the first thing I did. Then I used the process multiple files and selected a new folder to put them in and selected use open files and selected to turn them into jpeg. The images flash on the screen like they are being processed, but the folder never appears in library. Is it possible because there are a couple 16 bit files open that this corrupts the task. Do I need to create the folder first. Will elements not create the folder on its own.

Using a container to load several swf files and play them
I need some help. I want to use several swf files and have them be called upon in a container file and play them in sequence. It's a presentation that needs to play thru but still have the ability to stop, click on items, open a popup and then continue on in the presentation. I am building all the individual "chapters" and their "sub-chapters" as swf files, with the hope that I can load them in order. I am relatively new to AS3. Help?
If you will be loading swf files into a container then you will use the Loader class to accomplish that, so give that a looking over in the help documents and see what you can do. If you have a problem getting it to work, post your code and describe what you have done.
