Reorganize/Rearrange old Project/Media files for fresh start: Newbie 101

I’m just getting seriously again into FCP learning curve, know that organization is vital, and have set Settings/Preferences correctly for fresh start. I say “fresh” because awhile back I started but was not properly organized and was then interrupted (HD went belly up) before getting far other than working on a single project. ALL of those various files now sit in a FCP Media folder within another folder (thus at a second level) full of recovered files from the earlier crashed and meanwhile replaced external hard disk. My question is how do I regroup/divide/move this material so that it’s properly awaiting further work from the new FCP Projects folder on my local disk and the new FCP Media folder on one of my my externals. At present, to repeat and perhaps to clarify, EVERYTHING of this old material now sits within the single FCP Media folder on the second level of one of my externals. I could, of course, just trash everything and avoid the present quandary, but I’d rather keep it but place everything properly for the next time around when I can work with it correctly. I imagine some or all of the work done earlier may have been OK, though improperly placed for workflow. Thanks for any guidance. I’m hesitant because I don’t want to make any further mistakes as I learn and start again. I’m sure this is a simple situation for those who know what they’re doing.

Sorry. Of course you're right. Think I should resend, rewrite?
Still need some guidance on this simple problem.

Import-Export of track add some old projects and files.

We want to copy one NWDI track to new one.
When we Forward one track to to created new one, and open projects in Development Studio,
many old projects and files appeared, thatis not visible if to open old track in Studio.
So question is - how to export one track so it would appear in studio same way, but not "open all old existed" way?
As well very interested reason why so happens ?
thanks

Hi Vladimir,
I am not sure I fully understand your question, but if you'd like to copy a track to an other one, then I can suggest you to go for replication. This way you can keep the whole version history as well.
Replicating a Track into a Different DTR Repository (despite the title of this article I was confirmed by the development support that you can also use this procedure to replicate into the same DTR, not only into a different one)

If this is not what you need, then please rephrase the question for better understanding.
Thank you!

Promt of lost media files for a QT.mov?

In imovie 09 I created a quicktime movie through the share tab and uploaded the QT.mov into a powerpoint presentation (.pptx) I then saved it as a .ppt to be able view it on my 04 powerbook. The presentation opens but can't play the movies.
My powerbook can't find the media files. When exporting a movie project to QT does a media file get stored on the computer I created the movie on, like it does in final cut pro?
Where do I find the media file.
Thanks

When I select the image in the timeline and select reconnect media, the files are not listed in the resulting dialog box as missing (whether the online or offline buttons at the top of the box are selected). It does not list them as missing, basically.
I tried selecting the files in the browser; the reconnect media dialog box listed the files, I found the directory, and it indicated it knew where they were (moved them to the files located box), but still did not connect. I tried it again in the browser and they were not listed a 2nd time.

Convert Windows Media File for iPod

Hello,
Wondering if anyone knows how to transfer a Windows Media File to my iPod? I thought I could simply drag the video file from My Doccuments to my itunes music library, but it does not let me.
Any ideas?

If it is protected by Microsoft's DRM, then I'm afraid even a video conversion program won't do you much good.

Itunes can longer locate windows media files for songs after the last software update.

If I sync now will it delete those songs it can not find on the ipod ?

thanks. I tried WMA from apple downloads and it seemed to have converted them but when i copied across to itunes and pressed play nothing was happening and i relaised where it says time it shows 0.00, so not sure where I went wrong.
I did look at switch before EasyWMA but that didnt seem to be working either, it created a new file for the songs to go into but no songs appeared in mp3 format after i clicked on convert so I'm not sure where I'm going wrong.

Windows Media File Stops at Start!

Hello
Can someone please help.
I have a windows media file playing on my stage when the
playhead enters the frame. I'm trying to get the WMF to play
through to the end and stop, instead of returning to the first
frame and stopping.
Does anybody know how I can achieve this?
Thanks in advance.

something wrong?
You want to check the movieTime in an exitFrame handler,
rather than just
once when the sprite begins:
property thisSprite
property thisDuration
on beginSprite me
thisSprite = sprite(me.spriteNum)
thisDuration = thisSprite.member.duration
end
on exitFrame
if thisSprite.movieTime > thisDuration -15 then
thisSprite.stop()
end if
end

Advice on exporting PPCS3 HDV Project to file for WD TV player

I would like to maintain HD quality through the Export process to create a file that will be played on a Western Digital TV HD Media Player. I have tried a multiple of export settings without success. My goal is to play back using the WD TV player with the file stored on a USB drive...file size is not an issue.
I capture the HDV footage from a Canon HV30 camcorder into PremProCS3
I use the Project Settings preset = HDV, HDV 1080i30 (60i)
I have stabbed around with Export, Movie... as well as with the Adobe Media Encoder and can't find the magic
When I capture/edit in iMovie09 on a MacBookPro, I can easily export to a .m4v which plays back in great HD quality on my 46" TV via the WD TV player. But I can't seem to find the right preset or custom setting within Premiere Pro to get the job done. I greatly prefer the PP editing environment and want to stick with it.
The attached jpg file is a scan from the WD TV User Manual...supported video formats.
Thanks, in advance.

Hey, I'm glad I found you guys. This problem has been messing up my workflow for over a year. Maybe you can help:
I'm shooting HDV with Sony HD1000, capturing with HDV split, editing in Premiere. (So far, so good) Problem is, exporting from premiere (HDV 60i project) produces "squashed" and letter-boxed video, and my graphics and titles are "mis-aligned" with the video. It's like premiere scales down my video files, letter-boxes them, but leaves graphics untouched, which of course throws everything off. My only work around is to edit in an NTSC project, and scale down every single video clip myself, which yields lots of rendering. I thought I solved the problem, by importing the entire premiere project into after effects. Export worked great, no loss of quality, but after effects doesn't recognize premiere time-remapping, titles or wipe transitions (and has issues with .m2t audio)!
I've tried every form of exporting from an hdv project (adobe media encoder, straight to encore). ALWAYS squashes and letter-boxes the video files, while leaving the graphics/titles as is (now appearing larger than they did in the program monitor and less crisp.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I love premiere for standard dv, I just can't get around this obstacle with HDV...

FCP Project - Collect Files for Export?

I have a FCP 7 project which is to be sent to someone to use. I don't want them getting all the footage that has not been used - just all the clips on the timeline. They are all individual clips pretty much shot on a 5D MKII. Is there any way that I can collect/send just the used clips on the sequence without exporting a single quicktime file, or having to collect them all manually?

More...
For Media Manager to work with only the footage used, your clips must have Reel Names assigned to them.
This is a unique identifier for the tape or card that your clips were taken from.
It can be added when you bring the footage in -example:
Or added in the Reel column of the Browser afterwards. You don't need Reel Names for graphics and still images or items such as Motion projects.
If your footage does not have a Reel Name, FCP assumes it came from a source which is not recapturable (a live camera feed is one possible scenario) and will save all of it even if you only used a few seconds.

Convert old Windows .prel files for use in V10 on a Mac

Hello, I've just recently upgraded to v10 of Premiere Elements on a Mac, having used v3 extensively on a PC.
Is there a way to convert old Windows based projects for use on a Mac in v10?
Thanks,
David Trice

No. The project files are not cross-platform.

Mounting an old Exchange database file for recovery.

Can we safely and without disturbing the production Exchange 2010 server mount an old database file from a year ago backup using (New-MailboxDatabase -Recovery) to mount the database then recover an old user mailbox.

I believe that is no problem because a newly mounted database isn't pointed to by anything by default since it will have a different name. User mailboxes have static entries for the database they point to.

PROBLEM Compressing FCP PROJECT into file for DVDPRO

**this is my information...**
I'm EXPORTING a FCP project which is 45 minutes in length. I EXPORT it to COMPRESSOR. COMPRESSOR opens and shows the FILE in up LEFT box where I drag Presets. It gives me the PROJECT NAME but in the little picture box it just shows the FCP ICON. I know when I EXPORT a QT movie of a FCP project, a frame of the project appears in the little box where I drag the presets. This time it doesn't. So I don't know if that's an issue. I'm using DVD preset "DVD: Best Quality 90 minutes". It begins to compress the FCP file which takes roughly 2 hours. I check and it says it's "successful". BUT when I open DVDPRO and import the project to burn there is only ONE FILE not TWO FILES which would be the AUDIO and the VIDEO file. so DVDPRO does not recognize this and it won't burn. What do I do? THANKS for you help. Andy

Try exporting the sequence as a self-contained file using "current settings". This should result in one file with all the quality of what was on the timeline. Make sure this is in a folder located on your scratch (non-system) drive.
Then, open up Compressor, drag in the just created file, apply the "DVD best 90 minutes" preset making sure both the m2v and ac3 compressor actions are included and set the output directory to "Source".
Let it run.
Do you have .m2v and .ac3 files located in the same folder as the original self contained .mov file when complete?

What are compatible media files for the Tungsten E2

I have a video clip that I'd like to put on my Tungsten E2. The current file is saved as a .wmv. When I attempt to sync using the Palm desktop software's media feature, I get the message that the file format is not compatible. I can't find any information as to what are compatible file formats. Any advice for me?

Avi's and mpg's are pretty safe. Wmv's and .mov's won't sync.

Avoid creation of .part files for not started downloads

Hi,
whenever I right click on an item and do a "save link as..." FF creates a .part file on the desktop (my regular download folder) even if I don't start and cancel the download at this point (the point where the app asks under which name I want to save the file).
The .part file stays afterwards, even after I quit/restart FF.
The same thing happens when I click on any download's link since I made FF ask where I want the files to be downloaded in the preferences.
I noticed this behavior some time ago (around FF5) and I didn't bother since I clean my desktop regularly, but it's getting a bit annoying.
Double question :
- is this behavior normal ?
- shouldn't it be more logical to create the .part file only if the download is actually started?
Perhaps useful info : I use OsX10.5.8 and now on FF14
