Resize canvas and export as a batch?

I have a collection of about 75 images for which I need each
one placed on a
resized canvas, and then exported. I'm having trouble making
a pair of
history steps that I can save to use for a batch operation.
Can anyone
help, please?

No. I'm saying I have a collection of irregularly dimensioned
images (none
wider or taller than 225Wx150H). I want them all saved on a
canvas that has
those dimensions so that I can rotate them without having
screen jitters. I
do not need to resize any of these images, only to add canvas
as needed.

FCP 7, viewer clear, but canvas and export blurry

Started with screen recordings provided to me that made using quicktime 10
took quicktime 10 screen recordings and converted them to prores422 HQ in compressor (settings from compressor below)
imported into FCP 7.
They look great in viewer, reasonably sharp and crisp, but them very blurry in canvas and when I export to quicktime movie (not using quicktime conversion). Been using FCP 7 a couple years but my knowledge in many aspects is sub professional.
Tried creating a new sequence to get the sequence to match the settings of the quicktime prores422 screen capture movies but to no avail. The settings of the sequence are not the same as the screen capture movies...I even tried to change the sequence settings but no luck (then exited FCP without saving so as not to screw anything up).
Im probably breaking basic rules here...any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!!!
Compressor settings for file conversion above:
Name: Apple ProRes 422 for Interlaced material (High Quality)
Description: Apple ProRes 422 10-bit video with audio pass-through. Settings based off the source resolution and frame-rate.

Here is additional information on the problem.
My sequence includes mostly screen captures, but also some other video (settings below) and some JPEGs. The other video and the JPEGs look fine...both in canvas and when I export sequence to quicktime. The screen captures look terrible...text is very blurry. Same screen captures look fine in my viewer, just goes awry when in canvas and export.
Format of screen capture clips (quicktime 10 screen capture > compressor prores 422 HQ):
1440x900, apprle prores 422 HQ, data rate 5.6 MB/S, pixel aspect square, field dominance none, composite normal. Started with 4 files of the screen capture from compressor, then edited them into many little pieces in FCP...the size of those files post compressor are around 2GB each.
The sequence (by default) had settings of:
frame size: 720x480 NTSC DV 3:2
pixel aspect ratio: NTSC - CCIR 601 / DV 720x480
field dominance lower(even)
quicktime compressor settings: apple prores 422 LT
Vast majority of clips are the same as screen capture clips. But just in case its part of the problem, I have also have a couple video clips of that have settings:
frame size: 720x480
compressor: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
data rate 3.6mb/s
pixel aspect: NTSC - CCIR 601
field dominance: Lower/even
also have a couple JPEGs, their settings are:
frame size 2500x2084
compressor: photo-jpeg
field dominance: none
Thank you!!! I've been using final cut a while, but don't think I would have gotten anywhere without the help and generosity of people that are way beyond my knowledge and skills. I am happy to provide any more info. I really appreciate it.

Bad Quality in Canvas and Exported Movie

Hi,
I'm a new user of FCE. I want to use it for presentation of my software on the internet. I have a screencapture video in quicktime format. The resolution is 1008x744px. This quality is perfect.
If i use this Video in a sequenz, the quality in Canvas or in the saved QuickTime Video is terrible.
What can I do to improve the quality?
Thanks for the help...

If you are displaying the whole screen it will look bad and there is no way of avoiding it.
It is caused because your screen is probably 1200 pixels (or more) wide but a DV image is only around 700 pixels wide so you are losing a tremendous amount of detail.
To make matters worse, much of the fine detail on the screen will probably shimmer or flicker because the video is interlaced.
You can reduce this by using the De-interlace Filter but the overall quality of the image will still be poor.
The only way I ever achieved reasonably sharp results was to show no more than half the screen at any one time. If you do that your results will be OK.

Batch change dpi from 72 to 300 and export as jpg

Hi All,
I have searched high and low, and have yet to find a script that will accomplish this task. I am in need of a script that will change Illustrator's default 72 dpi, to 300 dpi so I can print a series of (about 200) respectable looking images. They also need to be exported to jpg.
Is this possible to do in batch?
I have tried countless approaches. The closest I have come is using Graphic Converter Pro, unfortunately it cannot change the dpi from 72 to 300 (as far as I could tell). Any help is greatly appreciated. I have access to Mac OS and Windows. I've been trying to tackle this for quite some time. Thank you!

Hi, thanks for your responses. I do have Photoshop. What I am trying to do is take about 100 .ai files and export them to .jpg. However, they are going to be printed, and any sort of batch export as .jpg I have tried so far has resulted in substantial resolution (72 dpi). I am well aware of how to change the resolution for exporting each file individually, however what I want to do is batch the whole process together. I will try the resizing approach. Thanks both of you!

How do I batch replace 100 different linked images in my AI file and export 100 different named PDFs?

Hi all!
This is driving me crazy...
So I have my A4 AI document with a QR code at the bottom (don't ask why I'm using QR codes, client work) and need to replace it and export the A4 poster as a PDF. I need to do this 100 times with 100 different QR codes and save 100 PDFs.
To summarise I need to,
Open A4 document (that has artwork already).
Drop in QR code A near the bottom.
Export as PDF A.
Repeat..
Open main document.
Drop in QR code B.
Export as PDF B.
And so on x100....
I have a experience with actions in Photoshop but not batch actions or scripts, and obviously need to run it in Illustrator...
Can anyone help?
Thank you!

How do I resize and export photos in Aperture without them becoming pixelateded

I'm having trouble resizing my photos and exporting them without the end result being an overly pixelated photo. This happens when I am resizing my photos to a 5 by 7 size.

Amanda,
Welcome to the user-supported Aperture discussion group.
In Aperture, you don't resize to a "print" size. You export to a specific pixel size.
So, what size are you actually exporting it as?
I believe both Terence and I suspect that you have a very low-res picture and you are telling Aperture to make it have more pixels. If you are intending to print the photos, there is really no difference in sending the original, low-res version to the printer versus having Aperture add pixels to your photo. Something, somewhere, will have to add pixels.

Batch format conversion and export

There are dozens of archived (unanswered) threads on that simple topic: How can you batch convert and export audio files from *Folder A* to *Folder B* in Soundtrack Pro (or Logic Pro etc.)?
I read about saving actions "as Apple Script..", but this doesn't seem to apply to format conversions.

first of all are you trying to do this with the Multitrack or the audio file project modes?
Quite frankly I use other software to do this, not STP.

Resizing portrait and landscape formats

Is it possible to resize portrait and landscape format photographs in one single batch process. So that for example all portrait formats become 800 wide and all landscape formats become 800 high? Or do i have to put them in separate folders before resizing?

Separate folders unfortunately in Elements, unless you first rotate, which is not recommended. You can do it in Lightroom by export and simply specifying the dimension of the long side.

Relink multiple images and export in jpg

Hi, this is my first post, been searching for nearly 2 hours for my solution, didn't end up with any answers
I have a template with the size of 500x500, there's my company logo at the right bottom and there's a brand's logo at the top left, i created a layer to put the products in the middle of the templates.
So now I have nearly 400 products to be relink and export into jpg, anyone can help me with this? I found out I have to use javascript for this and i have no clue of how to do this.
I would like to have 2 folders, first folder is my product, second folder would be the export photos be at(with the same title would it be possible?).
so the script should be able to read from the first folder and relink the product automatically in the layer and export into jpg automatically and being save into the second folder. (all the product images have the same size so no worries about it.)
Million thanks!

Thank you sir! I've manage to do it nicely with the guide!!! Somehow someone inbox me to a fee of 40$ to do it
lucky you show up!
PS: How ever i've face a problem editing all the photo's images into 500x500, some of them aren't exactly the size, some are bigger some are smaller, any ways to make all the images to fit nicely into center of the canvas and resizing them(so there would actually some extra free space around the product,not resizing it into 500x500px, it would be out of shape)?

Extract work order data from r/3 system in flat file(csv)and export to BI

Hi,
I am new in interface.
I need to extract data regarding actual cost and quantities of work assigned to Service Providers from SAP system and send it to BI for reporting purposes.
This interface will extract Master data as well as transactional data. Extraction of Master data will be a full extract and that of transactional data will be Delta Extraction.
Custom development will extract the data from different fields and will export it to flat files (CSV format). This program will amalgamate all the flat files created into one big file and export it to BI system.
Export of data to BI system will be done by schedule program Control M, which will export the data from SAP system to BI system in batches. Control M is expected to run daily at night.
Please provide the step-by-step proces to do this.
Thanks

Hi Ravi,
you've got to set up the message type MDMRECEIPT for the Idoc distribution from R/3 to XI. Check chapter 5.2 in the IT configuration guide available on <a href="http://service.sap.com/installmdm">MDM Documentation Center</a>. It describes the necessary steps.

Can the screen be cropped to and exported at a custom aspect ratio?

I think I'm needing Premier to do something it's just not designed to do. What I need to do is to take five or six different screen and audio captures of the same event (a 3D virtual reality instructional session), each representing a different person's view of that event, assemble those in a split screen, synchronize them to the designated "main" capture's audio, delete the other audio tracks, and add CG title labeling each one. The effect is like looking at a display showing six security camera images. From what I can determine, it is possible to do those things in Premier.
However, what I then need to do is to crop out any extra space to the left and right of that split-screen image and export the file as a .mov with the aspect ratio produced by the cropping so that the videos are as large as possible and are not distorted from resizing them to fit the standard aspect ratio. Depending on the size of the screencaps, the resulting .mov might have nearly a 1:1 ratio. What is critical for this is that the video be as large as possible and the "black" space be as small as possible so that the person who comes in later to analyze these composite videos can see everything as clearly as possible. I also need to crop on the fly; because these images aren't always captured at the same size, it is impossible to preset a size for the resulting video.
We've been using a screen capture tool to do this that works but is a pain; clips can only be moved and resized by mouse-drags, and the software has to import to and export from its own proprietary format, which is very slow. However, ever piece of "real" video editing software I've looked at only seems to export in TV or film aspect ratios. Quicktime Pro looked for a bit like the best bet, but it doesn't seem to be able to handle multiple audio tracks (which are necessary since I have to synchronize tracks by ear much of the time).
Is what I'm describing--exporting .mov files while preserving custom aspect ratios that are created by cropping during editing--something Premier can do? If so, would it be something fairly easy for complete novices to do?

On a Mac based system ScreenFlow might work best but on the PC side FRAPS might work best. You can do what you want to do with Premiere Pro once you record the screen capture. As Stephen_Spider mentioned you might need to crop and even resize the images. FRAPS can record at 1/4 the screen resolution and still have decent results. PP CS 5.5 can play several layers (6 PIPs) of the FRAPS codec at 1/4 resolution in realtime.
Thanks, but we cannot change the screen recording process. According to the study's protocols, the virtual world has to be full-screen or almost nearly so during the session, and that full screen has to be captured for analysis. Resizing the screen captures is not a problem (especially since I already said I'm doing that), but if you're saying that Premier can only play back up to six screen captures simultaneously if they're captured at 1/4 screen, then that's a deal-breaker right there.
By the way, here's approximately what each of the completed composite videos looks like:
Screencap 1
Screencap 2
Screencap 3
Screencap 4
Screencap 5
Screencap 6
Each screencaptures is resized to the largest consistent size that will fit into this format, and then the resulting video is cropped to the outside border. If there are only five screencaptures, I simply center the single one on the bottom on the "center line."
And, to be clear (though I've said this several times already), this is something that is already being done. We probably have more than 60 of these .mov files, each around 45 minutes long, with five or six synchronized screen captures in each. Frame rate etc. has not been any issue with these, and neither has playback of the .mov file from HD or DVD.

How to enable Validate and Export in FDM task

Hi everyone
I am working with setting up an FDM Task to Import, Validate and Export data to HFM.
The Task is able to import data to FDM, but I cannot make the process start the Validate and Export functions. If I do the process manually, then data is imported to HFM succesfully.
Am I missing something in the scripts or do I need to enable some feature in FDM?

Found the solution.
The variable lngProcessLevel should be set to "12" to execute the full Import, Validate and Export.

I'mtrying to upload my photos to shutterfly I've gone to file and export then the window gives me the option of file export webpage quicktime and slideshow . on my macmini I have shutterfly on there also how do I get this on my new mac

Hi Barbara
Are your photos in iPhoto or are you using some other Photo Software?
The latest version of iPhoto is a lot different than iPhoto 6 for example. In iPhoto 06 you could burn the Originals from your User Picture Folder using Finder, while in iPhoto 11 it is best to burn them from within the iPhoto Application.
Open iPhoto and select the Event(s) that you want to burn onto the CD, then select Share on the menu bar and click Burn in the drop down.

Then again, maybe you got a bad batch of blank CD's and need to try another?

Is it possible to save an .ai file as a PDF and export it to a .dwg file in one step? Kind of like batch processing in PS?
Thanks,

Place multiple pdfs into separate indesign and export to pdf again

Ok I have a lot of PDFs that I need to place into indesign in their own file, then re-export back as a PDF again.
Can anyone recommend a script for this if there is one? All the pdfs have different page counts etc. and I don't need to save the Indesign file.
I just want to put all the PDFs into their own InDesign file and reexport to PDF again. They are all A4 sized PDFs, 210 x 297mm.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks harbs
I need to Save all the pdfs as RTF, and some of the PDFs have bad tags and won't allow me to save as RTF.
I can batch process them in Acrobat to Print to PDF and that works for some, but not all the PDFs, it won't print some of them back to PDF.
I have 100's of these "bad pdfs" and it would be great to be able to place them all into separate indesign files and export out as pdf again. It will be tedious to run the PDF importer and export for all of the files.
I don't need to save the indesign file, just place and export the pdf again.
Just looking to automate the process.
