Retaining master template without reimporting

Hi,
I have a Master Report which is used as a template. Using template wizard i am assigning master template to Other reports.My requirement is: After incorporating the Master template into other reports, i am modifying the master report. To get the change on effect again i had to re-import the reports. Is there any method to avoid that? ie, Any change in master report it should automatically take effect in other reports.

Can I load FCP 7 without master templates loading?

Master Templates are causing 10 min start up times. How do I either move them to a location where they won't load on startup or is there a way to disable them from loading while keeping them there for Motion to find? And yes I added a bunch of custom ones as well some time back from various freebie sites. Thx

Thx, yup that was it. Back to 30 sec startup. I had over 10 gigs of template stuff. I don't know if this was from when I dabbled with X over the Summer or what. But a huge thx, I kinda figured that was the only real solution, just didn't know I could keep them in the FCS folder.

Heck everything is spiffier now. The interface itself feels like a new sports car now. It had gotten sluggish at some point and seeing how I've been in and out of the hospital the last year I couldn't pinpoint when. No more spinning balls and the menus open immediately. Wow!!!

FCP 7.0.3 Crashing/Not responding while importing master templates

Hi
I have Apple Motion 4 , Apple Motion 5 and Final Cut Pro 7.3.0 in my old mac mini. All were working fine (Not sure about FCP7).I recently installed some Master Templates (Motion 4 & 5) under username1. Now when I try to drag and drop master template to FCP timeline its showing the spinning wait cursor..and its not loading anything even after one hour.
One interesting thing is FCP master templates are working fine without any issue in other logins like username2.
I would like to mention some points here
1. Motion 4 installed under root folder so it will be available for all users
2. Motion 5 installed under username1 so it will not be available for others
Is there a solution for this issue..i tried trashing preference and all..but no use.
Pls help me
Thanks,
Praveen N U

How do I "unlock" a template without losing content?

I want to make changes to a template that seems to be "locked." I did not create the template. When I deleted the green template coding for editable regions, it "unlocked" the template but it also made all of my content disappear. I'm looking for a way to unlock the template (in order to make changes) without losing the content.

Changes to a template should be made only in the .dwt file that is stored in the Templates folder.
The only changes you can make to a child page (one created from a template) are in the editable and/or optional regions. If you don't want the template to apply to the child page any more, select Modify > Templates > Detach from Template. Once you do that, you can edit anything, but changes made to the master template will no longer be reflected in the page that you detached.

Where on Mac HD are the Master Templates that i have created?

I do the first time a new installation of mac hd without using Time Machine!
now i miss my master templates folders i created on the old system.
i try to search my time machine but where can i find the templates?
Can you tell me the root?
I want to copy back from time machine in the new motion installation root

Custom templates are saved in the following location:
Users Home Folder/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Studio/Motion/Templates

Final Cut Pro 7 Master Templates are white!

I can't get Master Templates working in FCP 7. I see the templates if I browse them, I can load them up in Motion no problem. But if I try and view them in the viewer, or add them to the timeline, they come up white. I have uninstalled and reinstalled FCP 7 3 times today now, and can't seem to figure out why this feature doesn't work. I've trashed preferences, everything I can think of. Anyone else having this issue?

After upgrading from FCS2 to the current studio, All video placed in Final Cut Pro or Motion shows up as either black or white, sometimes with a few small color artifacts- as if the contrast had been turned up to maximum. This issue affects even the bars and tone generator in Final Cut Pro. Audio is unaffected.
I removed all installed files and receipts and reinstalled, issue is still occurring. I've also updated to 10.5.8 and run Final Cut under another user.
This issue is occurring on an iMac Intel Core 2 Duo. I have a fresh install on my Macbook Pro which is running without any issues.

Iweb master template tuning

I have just started to look at the potential of iweb, which is still very new in it's development. I was testing out iweb and was wondering if it was possible to make a master template that you could use for all pages. I can't see it. If you make small adjustment to pages that you want to apply to others it seems you can't without a lot of individual tuning of each page.
Needs a master template or is it there hidden? :-)) T

There is no way to set a master template for any theme and have it available automatically. But you can create a second site, duplicate the the page with the design you want to use for other pages and drag the duplicate to the second site. Then when you want to add a new page to the working site, duplicate the page in the second site and move it up to the working site.
However, you will have to make a similar "template" for the Photos, Movies and My Albums and Blog pages as they are unique to themselves.
For maximum user design control of a site I suggest you start with one of the 4 themes that do not use specific and unique image files as part of their site. These will not limit you to the theme's default width of the page. They are white, black, modern frame, and formal. Choose the one whose navbar font and color will suit your site's design best.

I am having issues placing digital pictures in master templates in FCP 6

Hello everyone, this is my first post but I have been using Mac's for some time now with basically no issues.
I have two major issues:
First off, I am trying to place digital pictures which are enormous in the master template drop boxes, when I do this it cuts off the top and bottom of the image but the image still looks clear. The pictures I am importing are 1200 x 1800 jpg files, and were shot with a Canon EOS 30D. What I did was take all the images I needed and used Motion Pictures from Toast Titanium 8 and made a slideshow which I then exported as a QuickTime movie. I didn't know how to encode it so I used the DV/DVCPRO - NTSC codec and the dimensions were set to 3240 x 2430 since I thought that should give me the best quality image right?
Anyway, after doing this I have imported this QuickTime movie into Final Cut Pro and then I cut it up and placed little clips into each drop box. This makes it so I can see the whole picture now, but it still is not as high quality as the original pictures.
So, I have tried many times to export this master template with the pictures in the drop boxes and the finished QuickTime file looks terrible. I have not changed anything in the settings and when I export the quicktime movie I keep all the settings the same.
What do I need to do to get this to look better? Any ideas?
The other thing is that I have noticed a big reduction in quality from when I have the unrendered master template with the digital images in the drop boxes to when it autorenders after I have been away from the computer since I am stressing from this.
I am trying to take these pictures of high school basketball players and use the master template to have all the players pics and names come flying on the screen before the game comes on.
Any ideas? Why is the quality so bad? Am I doing something wrong? I have searched throughout the forums and found little information for digital images being imported into master templates, and I do not know if I am using a lossy format or something?
Any help is extremely appreciated!

Digital pictures are no different than any other still images, or movies, for that matter, as fas as Motion or FCP are concerned, they're just pixels.
Your image are way too big for video. Even if you're doing high def, you're scaling them down to fit many on the screen. Thye don't need to be an larger than, say, 1k on the long side.
You blew them up by a factor of 300% to get them out at 3240 x 2430 so now you've made all the pixels bigger than they used to be, you haven't added any pixels. Now you're biring that huge movie into FCVP and scaling it down by a factor of about 90%, wasting huge processing time and muscle and tons of disk space, totally wasted, and every scaling operation has introduced tons of artifacts.
Throw it all ways. Batch your photos through Photoshop to change them all into 1k jpegs and start over.
The templates are fun places to start but the mattes are (mostly) designed to crop and scale. so if you have images that are huge, they just get scaled to fit. You want to start with an image that requires the least amount of scaling.
Welcome to the family. Video is hard.

How to transfer or reassociate iTunes files from one external drive to another without reimporting?

Hello,
Hope someone can tell me an easy way to do this.
I have a massive itunes library which is presently split between my macbook and my external Lacie. I would like to transfer the files from the Lacie to a new external drive without reimporting all the files into itunes. I essentially would like itunes to recognise the path of the new drive instead of the files on the Lacie.
Any ideas?

I moved some movies and some seldom listened music (coped the files) into a folder on the Lacie drive. Then I reimported them to the main itunes library while holding down "option". This created a link to those files to the external. the files show up in my itunes but cannot be played unless i have the Lacie connected to them.
See this link.

How do I move back photos from an external drive (but iPhoto library on Mac hd) to the Mac HD without reimporting all images again in iPhoto?

The following scenario:
Mac HD: iPhoto Libary
External HD: all photos which are shown in iPhoto
now I want to copy back the photos from the external HD to the mac hd and I want iPhoto to know the new location of all these photos (couple of 10 thounsands)
How do I do that without reimporting all images again into iPhoto
Thanks

do you have a default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or referenced library (you have unchecked that option)
What version of iPhoto?
Do you have Aperature 3.3?

How do you save work in a template without changing template

Using pages;How do you save work in a template without changing template?

When you open a template it is a copy of the template you get. You can write, add, delete or change what ever you like. It will not change anything in the template. When you save you have a document, not the template.

Working in FCP6, open a project, sequence not showing ANY fonts from motion master templates. Start new sequence and they appear fine. Whats up with it?

So here's what I've got: one of the first gen Intel Macbooks with 2gb RAM, running a fresh install of FCS2, fully updated. I pulled out my external with my project on it (saved in the same version), that I keep my demo reel updated on. I've always used the motion text master template files to label each clip and for some reason, this round the text isn't appearing. Let me be clear just how weird this is: the template file will show up in the viewer, but any file set in this sequence will be blank. If there is any graphics to the file, IT shows up, but not the text. I opened up a new sequence and and first added a new master file to it, and it showed up on that sequence. I then went to the old sequence and copy/pasted the clips in it to the new sequence and the text shows up as well. What is up with the original sequence that is causing this issue??? Any thoughts? (unfortunately, my copy of Final Cut is a "Not for Resale" (NFR) so I can't call in for support.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Miro,
I was just experiencing a similar problem today. In my situation I was getting the diagonal lines and the new project wasn't actually being trimmed, it was the same size as the original with all of the media from the original project .
It turns out that even though I was selecting 3 specific sequences out of 20 the Project Manager was ignoring that selection, it brought over those 3 sequences but all of the media from the other sequences. I think this is what was creating the problem.
The trim unused media box (or whatever the check box says) was greyed out.
My solution was to create a new clean project and import the 3 sequences I wanted to create a new trimmed project from.
Then using the Project Manager everything worked as expected, the project was trimmed down and there were no diagonal lines. I unchecked the "rename media" option, not sure if that was necessary part of the solution.
This seems like a bug to me, we shouldn't have to create a new project, it's an extra unwanted step and clutter on our systems.
Hope that helps!
I'm on Mac 10.8.5 and Premiere 7.0.1, eagerly awaiting to update once the bug fixes to the bug fixes are fixed.

When I copy and paste a chapter from MS Word into Pages my tables and equations are trashed. But importing them results in no control over my template How do I get my chapter into my template without copying

When I copy and paste a chapter from MS Word into Pages my tables and equations are trashed. But importing them results in no control over my template How do I get my chapter into my template without copying?

Try just Opening the Word .doc from within Pages and see if that gets closer to what you want, then copy the chapter you want from the Pages version.
