Retain Filename when Export Trim

I often use the trim function in Quicktime X.
To view a video, I open it up and sometimes I need to make it shorter.
The I use trim and export back to the folder I had the original clip so that it over writes it.
My problem is, that I need the original file name. When I export, it always wants to save it as "untitled".
So I have to go back-and out of QT click on the clip in the folder>copy and then paste in the export window.
Lot of work. (My filenames are 16 Digits-to long to type every time)
Any way to set it to the original file name?

To be clear, are you looking to have the Save As field in the export dialog box populated with a report name when you export the report?
When exporting from the viewer it isn't possible to do this, however if you export directly using the SDK, you can set the report name and path to whatever you like and automatically export to that location.

Adding sysdate to filename when exporting to csv in Apex V3.0.1 using IE6

Hi,
I have created an application item (AI_DTTIME), together with an application computation that fires on before-header that is set-up as follows:
TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'DDMMYYYY HH24:MI') ||'.'
Within the report addtributes on a page under "Report Export", within the filename, I assigned &AI_DTTIME.
When I go to test it by clicking on the link label, it seems to assign a number to the filename, such as 40.csv. Each time I clink on the link label, the filename value simply increments to the next value, i.e 41.csv
Can anyone see what I may be doing wrong or how to apply the sysdate to a filename under "Report Export".
Thanks.
Tony.

Hi Tony, Hi Andy
I have a similar functionality to achieve by adding sysdate of filename when exporting to csv, adding wthr this csv is in dev or prod,URL of this report and it is powered by xyz company
I have created an application item same as andy did and the application computation with computation item AI_DTTIME, computation point - Before Header, computation type - static assignment and computation - TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'DDMMYYYY HH24MI') ||'.'
After that in report-export filename i added the address of my application item i.e &AI_DTTIME
but when i am trying to export my report to csv the header is coming with " TO_CHAR(sysdate,'DDMMYYYY HH24MI')_' "
Can you suggest where i am wrong?

Use Metadata Title as Filename When Exporting

Is there a way to use the metadata title as the export filename when exporting ?? If not, there should be !

It already can do this. Simply go into the list of filename presets, choose Edit, and built your own preset - making sure to include "Title" from the top Metadata drop down list somewhere in your renaming pattern.

Keep Red Filename when exporting to QT

I have a lot of Red Footage which I need to trim/color correct in FCP. I use log and transfer window to ingest the footage and then Export > Quick Time to 1080p.
The problem is, I have to maintain the original filename for future reference.
Is there a way to keep the original file name when exporting?
When I export, it ask me for the file name as "save as" and it puts "Sequence 1" by default in. Is there any way to override that and put the original file name in?

Yes, thank you, I know about the voodoo to get things out to Compressor. Must be a sequence in the main sequence folder in the bin to work voodoo thing.
I think my problems are systemic as now compressor will not launch. I have been having nothing but problems since I installed 10.4.10. First all my Office programs would not launch then I actually installed OS 10.4.10 several times rebuilding my system by archive and installing 10.4.8 and then using the combo installer from there. I thought I had a stable system but I guess I will have to revert to 10.4.9 or reinstall compressor or Quick Time or FCP Studio or.......ARRGGHHHH?
I though that the dialog was amusing in the extreem! It wasn't "Sequence has no media" it was:
"No Movie in File" Of course there isn't any movie in the file you didn't put the movie into a file....sheesh. Anyway I'll post again.
PITA

Filename when exporting from ReportViewerBean

I'm using Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0 in a desktop application and ReportViewerBean is used for previewing reports. The export-dialog have several file formats and they all work fine but one annoying thing is that the filename is blank, so one have to write the filename/filextension manually before exporting to file.
Is there a way in the code to specify what filename a report should get when exporting?
I'm probably missing something here...
I've searched through the forums and code examples but have not found anything about this.
Thanks in advance

Adding zeros to filenames when exporting in Lightroom "Filename-001" "Fliename-002" etc?

Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to add zeros before numbers when exporting files eg: "Filename-001" "Fliename-002" etc? The default setting is "Filename-1" "Filename-2" ect. The reason I want to have zeros in the number sequence is that certain software will display files in the wrong numerical sequence eg: "Filename-1" "Filename-10" Filename-11" etc and then "Filename-2" after "Filename-19". If zeros are added the files will always be displayed in the correct sequence "Filename-001" "Filename-002"... "Filename-009" "Filename-010" "Filename-011" etc.

Just customize the filename using the template editor, and use the Sequence token set to the number of leading zeroes you want, as shown.

Filenames when exporting

When I export images or batch export images, Fireworks always
renames
them with all lowercase letters. I don't want this, I want it
to keep
the same format as the original file. I can't see anyway to
do this,
does anyone know how to cure this?
Cheers,
Steve

You can save as BUT you wont' get the same file size. Save or
Save AS
will retain or reserve file space for meta data. So your
files will be
about 13 k larger than if you had exported them. Also, if you
save as
BEFORE you export, the meta data is not stripped during
export (a known
bug).

Illustr. CS5 Appending -01 onto filenam when export .jpg

Hi, I'm having two really annoying problems when I export images from Illustrator CS5.
Problem no.1
Anytime I export an image file, Illustr always appends -01 onto the end of the filename even into an empty folder. Never had this problem before. I'm on Lion. Anyone think it may have to do with that?
Prob no.2
Also, is there a way to make Illustrator default to having the "Use Artboard" checked the Export dialogue?? It's so annoying having to check that everytime I need to export an image, which for producing comps is ALL the time.

You know what,... you're absolutely right. It wouldn't make sense when there are several artboards. Right now I'm just hammering on this project and the sketch phase is just taking forever, using [one] artboard for each file. Just needed to quickly pump out a bunch of comps. [probably a better way to do it].
It makes sense that exporting artboards should be numbered for you BUT if exporting only one, you'd think the system would be smart enough NOT to throw a number on the end. Whatevs.
I should have thought of this before I posted, but I just remembered I could have been using the save-for-web dialogue. THAT remembers exactly where you last exported to. Yea, Mac has recent places too, shoulda thought of that as well...
Theyve obviously thought this thru more than me... Thanks a million for your help!!

Retaining timecode when exporting from Quicktime

I want to use imovie to capture video I will eventually edit in Final Cut Pro. The .dv clip that is captured in iMovie resides inside the iMovie project file package. When I import it into Final Cut Pro, the audio needs to be rendered because it is still in the .dv format where the audio is not on a separate track. I'd like to avoid that rendering process, so I'm opening the .dv file in Quicktime and exporting it as a Quicktime movie. The file plays with no problem in Final Cut Pro. The problem is the timecode that was present in the .dv file is no longer there and the video in Final Cut Pro now has timecode that starts at zero.
Is there a way to export and retain the timecode from the .dv file?

There's another thread here discussing the same error message, though not in exactly the same circumstance:

Perhaps something in that thread will help you.
Good luck.

Unable to create "filename" when exporting to SD disk from iphoto 7.1

I recently upgraded from iphoto 4 to 7. I did do because when I tried to export to a SD disk, I kept getting the unable to create message on various photos. I did the upgrade to 7 and I am still seeing this error message. Has anyone else run across this one?

George:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try exporting to a folder on the Desktop and then copy the folder to the SD memory card. Also make sure there are no unusual/unsupported characters in the file names, i.e. anything other than 0-9, a-z, _, -. The format of the memory cards, PC based, does not accept those unusual characters. If there are a lot of special characters in the file names, you can batch change the title of the files with the Photos->Batch Change menu option. Then select the option during export to use the title as the new file name.
Happy Holidays
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.

How to retain layer when exporting to tif with CS5 Illustrator?

I have a client that wanted the illustrator file given to him in tif format so that they would be able to have the layers available in another software package such as Photoshop. I exported the file uncompressed to a tif format, then ftp to their location. They told me when they opened it it was flattened to 1 layer. They were right I opened the file I sent in photoshop and it was one layer. I then tried to open the tif file in illustrator and it too was flattened. This was a complex file with many layers. So, after researching and trying all the suggestions I could find, such as ungrouping everything that was grouped then exporting again, it did nothing and I verified all color space was the same, but that didn't work even when trying to open the exported tif with illustrator.
So, instead of wrestling with a big file I created a 2 layer file. 1 layer contains an object, and the other text, nothing complicated. I then tried exporting the file as tif; same results the file was flattened to one layer both in photoshop and illustrator. The only way I could retain the layers was to export as a psd file. So, how do you export an illustrator file with layers as a tif and retain the layers?
Thank you for any help offered.

As Scott said, there is generally no layered TIFF format. You will have to use PS to produce it's arbitrary TIFF "layers", which are merely a bunch of sub-images in one file held together by custom user data.

Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File - Export - Album name with number).

Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File -> Export -> Album name with number).
Exporting a single Event retains the Event name which is what I'd expect. But highlighting more than one event and exporting it renames the images to Events 001.JPG, Event 002.JPG etc.
I was recently on holidays and had all my events nicely split on Dad's computer but when I went to export it I couldn't retain any of this information. Now I have to replicate this all again on my computer.
It wasn't possible to export the entire library as the external drive was fat32 format an I didn't want all of it. It would be nice to export a bunch of events to someone and have it retain the name.
Does anyone have a work around or will this be fixed at some point by Apple?

Write filename somewhere in a PDF when exporting from InDesign?

Is there a way, when exporting a PDF from InDesign, to somewhere/somehow auto-embed the filename into the resulting PDF? Doesn't need to be "visible" in the job, but needs to be accessible somehow. I'm working with a very difficult client who changes PDF names and then, months later, sends the PDF back with revisions and I have no idea which file the original PDF was created from. I know I can manually enter this information, but I'm looking for a more automated way to do this?
Regards,
Kristin.

Put this script into a folder "Startup Scripts" inside your scripts folder. It auto-updates the document metadata every time you save a document. This automatically is saved in an exported PDF.
//InxAfterSafe.jsx
//An InDesign CS3 JavaScript
#targetengine "session"
//Creates a simple event listener.
main();
function main()
var myEventListener1 = app.addEventListener("afterSave", setMetadata, false);
var myEventListener2 = app.addEventListener("afterSaveAs", setMetadata, false);
function setMetadata()
var myFileName = app.activeDocument.name.replace(/\.indd$/i, "");
app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences.documentTitle = myFileName;
app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences.copyrightNotice = myFileName;
app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences.jobName = myFileName;

Can you retain text highlighting when exporting to PDF from InDesign?

Hi,
I have several publications that are now going to be reviewed by another individual and I was planning to export them to PDF.
However, I've already highlighted bibliographic references, table call outs, figure call outs in the InDesign file using different colors and I was wondering if there is a way to retain that highlighting when exporting to PDF? Just thought it might make their life a little easier since I already have all that done in the file.
Thanks!

Ah ha! Got it! All I needed was your prompt! I looked to make sure that it was set up as conditional text and noticed the Show/Hide option at the bottom of the pop-up. (I knew I saw something before that would allow this, but couldn't remember where!)
Thanks for jogging my memory!

Is it possible to retain multiple audio tracks when exporting?

While ripping my DVD collection, I've wanted to add a purchased RiffTrax (see www.riftrax.com) to the movie as another audio track. I've been successful, but it took the following steps:
1. Encode the movie using Handbrake, open the resulting m4v file in Quicktime Pro
2. Also in Quicktime Pro, open the Rifftrax aac file I created and add it as another audio track in the m4v
3. Save the m4v as a Quicktime mov file
4. Use Handbrake again to encode the mov file into an m4v file, including my added audio track
The reason I have to do step 4 is because if I were to export an m4v file directly from Quicktime Pro, it would compress all of the audio tracks into a single audio track. It would save a lot of time if Quicktime could export multiple audio tracks, at least when exporting to formats that can handle them. Does anyone know if this is possible?
BTW, if anyone wants more details into how I create the RiffTrax aac, just ask.
- Jake

I've answered my own question, it was a lot easier than I thought. After the first encoding by Handbrake, there's really no difference between calling it a mov file or m4v file. I can change the file extension at will and there's no need to do an export that mashes the audio tracks. It's only AppleTV that needs to see the m4v file extension, Quicktime and iTunes doesn't seem to care one way or the other.
Thanks for letting me think out loud.
