Save several movies in different resolution in one go

Hi everyone
With Quicktime 7 there is an option to export an existing movie and save it with a different resolution such as 1280x840 to 640x480 Pixels etc.! Is there a possibility to make these changes to several files without repeating them for each and every movie (over 100 files)? Maybe with the help of AppleScript?
Thanks for your help.

Compress QuickTime Using Most Recent Settings (from Automator).
The action only works on files (not folders of files). It would use the most recent QuickTime Player Pro export settings.
Export a "dummy" file (say 30 seconds) from QuickTime Player Pro to your destination dimensions, codec and settings. The Automator action will "remember" those settings and use them in its action.
Once done with those settings export the dummy file again using different settings and Automator will adjust to the new settings (if saved as a Workflow or Application).

Can I print photos at different resolutions in one PS5 file?

I am printing photos on fabric. I'd like compare one printed at 300dpi and the same photo at 150 dpi. I was going to set them side by side on a piece of fabric and realized I had to specify the resolution of the file I'm placing them in. Can I have two files at different resolution in one file? If the new file is of 300dpi resolution how does this affect the image at 150dpi? Thanks!
Mary

Hello again,
thanks so much for helping a newbie sort things out. I'm still confused. I know that a higher resolution like 300dpi, has more dots per inch and has the potential to give me more detail in print than a lower dpi.
If I crop a raw file as an 18" square- I will make it either 150 or 300 dpi. I'm trying to place two images ( the same images) side by side in a photoshop file to compare the results when they print- (I'm printing with an online vendor). Can I do that? that is, place a 150 dpi image next to a 300 dpi image in one PS file, identified ast 300dpi ? What are the print results? Will both images look the same, or will the 150 dpi be converted to 300 and I won't see any difference anyway?
Or, do I need to set up two separate files-one at 150 and one at 300, and print them separately, to compare them?
Can you help me understand this? Thanks!

Can't save internet .mov files

I just recently upgraded to Quicktime Pro for Windows specifically so I could save several .mov files posted on a website as part of a proposal I have to give. Unfortunately, I've tried saving the movies as both source and as Quicktime Movie, and neither actually saves. I have the option to save when I click the down arrow after the movies have loaded, and my PC acts as though it's saving the files when I attempt to save, but then nothing actually shows up in the file destination I've selected. I've tried several times and have nothing to show for it - anyone have any ideas?

Sorry I can't help, I have the same problem. I installed Quicktime Pro, registered, and everything looked ok. Until I tried to save, save as, or export. I can't create any output at all. I edited a .mov file then tried to do a "save as". It appeared to go ok, but no file was created. When I try to do an export, I do get an error message "Error -43: a file could not be found". It never mentions WHICH file could not be found (I suspect the one I was trying to create)! I de-installed and re-installed with no luck. I thought Apple software was supposed to work?!

Premiere 9: Create DVD menu with several movies

I want to put several movies which I created on one DVD. How do I do this? I found a way to put ONE movie in the menu with its scene selection (although I can't get that to work, which is a separate issue), but I haven't found a way of pullling in the FOUR movies.

You can look at the Duration of each Project's Timeline and jot down the total runtime for each. Add those together to get the full runtime/Duration of the multiple Projects. If you have already Exported/Shared to a DV-AVI, you can get that Duration for each with G-Spot, or another similar utility. If you have already Imported those DV-AVI's into the new, combined Project, just look at the Duration on the Timeline Ruler.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - When working with TimeCode (00;00;00;00 - Hours; Minutes; Seconds; Frames), I really like the free WFT Timecode Calculator. It also allows one to choose the FPS of the base.
PPS - One can also play the resultant DV-AVI's in WMP, VLC, MediaPlayer Classic HC, or other players, and see what the Duration of each is.

HT4059 Can I use Consolidate Files to move several different tracks into one Album?

Can I use Consolidate Files to move different tracks into one Album?

No, that's not what the Consolidate command is for. That command for getting all your track files into a single folder. To get all the tracks in an album to appear together, just Get Info on the tracks and make the album name all the same for each track. See:

The latest .key I created is huge, .... Finder shows it as 5GB. Other .key of similar slide total are about 300-500MB. There is nothing different about this one. It is just .jpg files (photos) and text. No movies, no audio. Why so big??

iMac. 2.4GHz. Core 2 Duo. 2GB SDRAM. OS - 10.9.5.   Keynote - 6.2.2 v.1878.
I just completed a keynote slide show. The Finder indicates it is 5.25GB. It is 200 slides, no movies, no audio of any kind, no special transitions. It is just photos and some added text explanations. The individual photos are each 5-6MB, with about 190 photos total. I have other previous .key's about the size in terms of the number of photos and they are showing in the Finder as taking up 300-500MB. There is nothing different with this one particular presentation. I usually organize and store my photos using .key after a trip. Photos are downloaded into iPhoto (7.1.5) and then I build a keynote presentation by copying the photos as .jpg's out of iPhoto and into Keynote, with text as notes on or under each photo. Something changed with the latest keynote in terms of file size. But I can't determined why it required 5.25GB of disc space while other .key's of the approximate same size and content are only taking 10% of that amount. Anyone have an idea what is going on with keynote is this particular instance??? I know I could compress it, but I want to understand why the last time I used keynote the file size was so huge.    Thanks for the help.

Some additional information. In looking at the package contents info, under the DATA Folder there are several entries for each slide/photo in the .key presentation. There is a long list of contents that shows each image as:
    pasted-image-1234.png
and a second list right below that identifies each image again in the .key as:
    pasted-image-small-1234.png
Both of these lists show image files of 15-25MB for each photo, even though the original .jpg photo was 4-6MB. They list/show all of the images in the .key, but DO NOT show the added text. So it appears the package contents indicates two separate .png files for each photo in the .key, but the file size for each is 3-5 times greater than the original .jpg that was copy/pasted from iPhoto. And for some reason there are two copies of each.
There is also a list for the two following image/data files:
    pasted-image-small-small-1234.png
    st12-1234.png
Both of these lists show a file size of 100-200KB for each image, and again show all of the images in the.key.
Only the st-xx-xxxx.png list of images also show the added text.
Again it appears when I created the Keynote presentation by copy/paste images from iPhoto, Keynote stored multiple copies of each image as .png file several times larger than the original .jpg.   The completed Keynote slide show is so large is almost impossible to work with. The system is so slow that routine commands are not completed, e.g., trying to "save as" into a .pdf never finishes and I have to "force quit".
Still trying to determine why this occurred with the 6.2.2 version. Any chance I can delete all but the st-xx-xxxx image list and get back to a normal file size??

Trying to move EP 7.0 from one MSSQL server to a different one

We have created a distributed instance installation of NW2004s/EP7.0.
We need to move the database instance from one windows server to a second server. We do not need to move any other portions.
We shutdown the MSSQL server and copied the files, and brought the database up. To test I connected to the database using query analyzer, and the user which is defined as SAP<SID>DB (in our case SAPSPPDB) and this worked fine.
When I adjust the default profile parameter, and the config tool parameter - in the secure store: jdbc/pool/<SID>/URL. The changes were done after teh database was shutdown and copied. I get errors afterwards jcontrol fails, online and offline config tool do not open, etc'
What is the process for moving a MSSQL database from a portal?

I did it a few times succesfull and this is (my) procedure:
1. stop the SAP system
2. detach th DB on the Source server
3. copy db+log files to the Target server
4. attach the db on the Target server
5. repair login/db user account following the steps:
- http://support.microsoft.com/kb/274188
OR
- http://blog3.daqureshi.com/archive/2008/12/16/11.aspx
6. update/change the file usr\sap\<sid>\sys\profile\default.prf
7. start the configtool and within the keystore change the jdbc connection parameters so that it points to the new DB Server
8. save this action!!!!
9. exit and restart the configtool and look if its connecting to the new DB Server
10. exit the confconfigtool.
11. start your SAP System
Good Luck!

How can I sort photos on iPads, I have several models and the order is different on every one.

We use iPads as photo albums. I have several model iPads and the photo order is different on Avery one. How do I get them to sort in the order I want, preferably alphabetically.

It's a lot easier to use 3rd party apps like Photo Manager Pro. You just tap "Edit" and drag the photos around.

Is it possible to publish a project with a different resolution than the native project resolution?

I think I know what the answer is going to be here, but I'm going to ask anyway. The background here is that I've made a few demo videos for new products and features my company is working on. I'm using CP4 for this. Our marketing department wants to take AVIs of my demos and insert them into their Powerpoint demonstrations. However, the native resolution of our demos doesn't make for a graceful import into Powerpoint. Thus, I've been directed to provide smaller res AVI files.
Thus, I am wondering if you can publish a project at a different resolution than the one in which it was recorded. My initial poking around seems to indicate that the answer is "no," and if this is truly the case, I will be rumbling over to the "Suggest a Feature" forum soon. There does seem to be a kind-of-workaround in that you can change the resolution of the project before publishing it, but this is something that cannot be undone, meaning that in order to do this, I will have to save new, smaller versions of all my projects. This is a bit ungainly.
So, if anyone knows a good trick here, I would love to hear it!

Unfortunately, I don't know what you mean when you say "manual panning." And I'm really not sure what you mean when you say the fields are not fully visible in the original image; they are completely visible. Here's a close-up from the original slide:
As you can see, the fields are completely visible.
Also, the slide is not entirely static. For the slide I chose as an example, the Password is filled in before the mouse moves. This typing may be part of what is getting Captivate confused; note this sequence from the resized version of the project:
Slide 35:
The login window first appears. Everything is normal. During this slide, the mouse moves and clicks inside the User ID field, leading to...
Slide 36:
At this point, things begin to go awry. The user name is entered, and the cursor moves to the Password field.
Slide 37:
Whoops! As soon as we click Login, everything goes back to normal.
Slide 38:
I will try a few of the suggestions you offered, and will report back with the results.

Multiple displays with different resolutions

The system is setup with two non-mirrored displays with the following resolutions: A) 1024x768 and B) 1280x1024 arranged as BA with A the menu'd display using an ATI 9000 Pro for Mac. During startup, approximately once inch worth of the menu's right items momentarily appear on the right side of display B 768 pixels down from the top. This problem only occurs in this BA configuration of differing resolutions and is independent of graphics cards (substituted the 9000 Pro with a mirror only AGP Navidia card and a mirror only PCI ATI Rage card combination which gave the same result). This problem first appeared using MacOS 10.3 which displayed several inches of menu instead of only an inch under MacOS 10.4. Anyone else seen this problem?
Dual 800 MHz QuickSilver Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Over the weekend, I explained this problem to one of the Apple Geniuses at an Apple store and then was able to duplicate the issue using a lap top and attached monitor in the store (not the same resolutions as my system; but, screens of similarly different resolutions). I raise this issue again because, as of late, additional things have been happening and I wonder if these are related to the core issue of an expanded desktop with two different screen resolutions. All of the widgets on the larger resolution screen desktop are drawing in the menu located in the smaller resolution screen when hitting the "i" to gain access to its control panel; however, not effecting the menu at all when moved to the smaller resolution screen. The other has to do with screen savers periodically blanking both monitors (as though the graphics card went to sleep) or having both monitors lose syncing (first occurrence today) where a cold start is required to bring the monitors on line again (I am going to have to figure out a way to test if the system is actually sleeping or the monitors have only gone blank before cold starting the system).

It doesn't look as if xrandr can help as it reports a maximum virtual desktop of 1680x1680.
Because the two monitors are different resolutions I don't know if a single screen is the answer.
I used to have two displays/screens configured to two different resolutions matching the monitors using the catalyst driver but can't get it working using the xf86-video-ati driver.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

How to save ipod updates to different drive

iTunes wants to save new ipod updates to C:\, which is nearly full - it's a small SSD meant just for windows. I can't delete or move what's on there. How do I make it save updates to a different drive? Thanks!

Backup the computer, if you try to do it piecemeal, you will miss something.
If you do not already have a large enough external drive, purchase or borrow one and backup the ENTIRE computer. Really, you should maintain regular backups of your data anyways.
