Seeking a batch video processing solution

Let me just say right up front that video editing is not my strong suit at all. I'm much more familiar with print and graphics.
That being said, I'm trying to find a batch processing solution to take hundreds of 10-30 minute videos and cut them up into 3 minute clips. I was thinking this was a Premier (or Pro?) task, although it was mentioned to me that maybe I should be looking to use After Effects for this?
Anyhow, the source files are primarily WMV and MPG with a few AVIs mixed in, and we want to export to FLV. Since you can batch process images from bridge using photoshop actions, I was hoping there was something similar that could be done using Premier.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Actually, I no longer use that software
While it DOES work with the Dv500 card in WinXp, I found it to be very "fragile" in operation... every time a really old VHS tape hit a marginal spot, Scenalyzer would die... and not very gracefully
Now, using dual boot with Win2k to be able to run Premiere 6 with the Dv500, I am able to digitize even REALLY old VHS tapes without the capture stopping every time a marginal spot hits the VCR head
Since the demo version is free (albeit with a watermark on output files until it is registered) it will be easy for the OP to download and test

How to restore system RAM memory when i run DI batch job process

How to restore system RAM memory when i run DI batch job process
I use SAP-B12005SP53 and i develop with Business Partner Object

HI ALL
TAKE CARE: Nothing was working in VB6, but in .NET it sets the default value !
from help of VS.
When you assign Nothing to an object variable, it no longer refers to any object instance. If the variable had previously referred to an instance, setting it to Nothing does not terminate the instance itself. The instance is terminated, and the memory and system resources associated with it are released, only after the garbage collector (GC) detects that there are no active references remaining.
Garbage Collector distroyes the objects at the end of the sub of function, not in the loop.
So use local variables when you loading the 7000 items. For me working fine and i do not have a memory problems. I am loading 50000 items with prices from EDI file, and memory usage stops at 120MB.
1st solution create a sub or a function to populate the data, and run this for every items by as single rutin,
sub x
    Dim obj As New Object()
        Try
... put here your update code
        Catch ex As Exception
        Finally
            GC.Collect()
        End Try
end sub
This free up the memory when Garbage
2nd solution: use inner loop definition
sub x
Try
            Do While True
                Dim obj As New Object()
            Loop
        Catch ex As Exception
        Finally
            GC.Collect()
        End Try
end sub
This free up the memory inside the loop.
I recommend to use Friend Class keyword for your addon declaration and do not use modules.
Modules and shared classes will be free up the memory when your program terminates execution.

Reservation of component Batch for Process order

Hi PP Guys,
I did the batch determination of a particular component batch in process order, but when I try to create another process order system proposing the available qty without considering the earlier reserved batches.
I want to view only the batches which are free from any reservations during batch determination in process order.
Example: If Batch "A" having qty 1000 kg in unrestricted stock.
I have created a process order and did the batch determination for the quantity of 900 kg, when I create another process order for the same material system should propose only the available component batch qty of 100 kg only, but system still proposing the un-restricted available qty of 1000 kg.
Please advise me the solution to map the scenaio.
Thanks in advance.
regards,
Purna

Hi,
Check whether Reservation is included in your checking control(T.Code OPJJ).
If not then correct it by activating check box for Include reservations.

I will be buying the new IMac 27 inch in December. Would like input on the best configuration for photographic and possibly video processing-dream machine!

I will be buying an IMac 27 inch in December. What is the best configuration for photo and possibly video processing.Does one need a Mac Pro? Dream machine!

Just to explain what I just wrote to Laundry Bleach:
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
UPDATE & ADDENDUM:
But even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
Poster jhb21939 posted this in another thread:
“when I attempted to load iDVD into a new iMac. A notice came up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March this year (2012).
I contacted the Apple support team and eventually, I was told that the Licence had been withdrawn and could no longer be used.”
In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
In response, Old Toad posted this solution:
“You can still use it one all of your Macs. If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer. After you're done reset the time back to the correct time.” He added this comment:
“It began after iDVD and iWeb were discontued and they were dropped from the Apple Store. All I can think of is the certificate was set to expire after a certain time period after the intitial iLife disc was released.
I've been able to use the installer even without setting back the date. I just clicked on the Continue button and it would work as expected. For some it would not continue unless the date was set back.”
The latest anorexic iMacs just announced do not even include a CD drive! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of DVDs - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

Using your video processing computer for the web

Hello,
I've heard it from some people I really trust and respect that one should never use your video server for ANY other purpose other than video work. They say if you use other applications, including being on the Internet, it is guaranteed to mess things up in the long run.
I want to do the right thing. But I must admit, it is SO handy to be able to encounter a problem in PrPro and just go online here and ask.
What do others do? Do they adhere to the dedicated video machine point of view?
Thanks,
matt dubuque

if you follow the 'expert' advices of having a dedicated video processing computer your workflow will be impacted. At least my workflow includes a lot of research and download from templates, royality free pictures, movies, etc. and I'm using Firefox and IE on a daily basis.
Better to invest in a solid workstation as a foundiation for a real multimedia environment, in my case a i7 930, 24 GB main memory, 5 discs with 9 TB storage, etc. under Windows 7 64 bit and I run the following main suites in parallel and all are connected to the web without any problems:
* Adobe Master collection CS5 (mainly Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop and Dreamweaver)
* Cubase 6 and Wavelab 7 for music production
* Tons of plugins and support SW both for Adobe (Redgiant, Boris FX, ProDAD, Roxio, Juicer, etc.) and Cubase (Waves SSL, NI Komplete, Yamaha N12 mixer, Lexicon, Soundtoys, SPL, etc.)
If you follow also the principle to never ever install a SW piece without checking first a trial version (1 by 1 of course...). To be protected in the worst case you should use a product like Norton Ghost for data backup and recovery --> never happened to me in my current environment for emergency perposes, i.e. in the last 6 months.

FCP6 any problem using "Render in 8-bit YUV" instead of "Render 10-bt material in high-precision YUV" video processing

I have a long and complex 1080p FCP6 project using ProRes442. It is made up of mostly high resolution stills and some 1280i video clips. Rendering has laways been anightmare. It takes extremely long and makes frequent mistakes whch have to be re-rendered. Just today, I discovered the option of selecting "Render in 8-bit YUV" instead of "Render 10-bt material in high-precision YUV" video processing. The rendering time is cut down to a fraction and even on a large HD monitor I can tell no difference in quality. I am getting ready to re-render the entire project in 8-bit and just wanted to check if changing to 8-bit would pose some problems and/or limitations that I'm not aware of. This is not a broadcast or hollywood film thing. But it does represent my artwork and I burn it to bluray so i do want it to look good. Lke I said, I can tell no difference between the 8-bit and 10-bit color depth with the naked eye. Thank you all for all the help you have always given me with my many questions in the past.

Unless you have a 10bit monitor (rare and very expensive) you can not see the difference as your monitor is 8 bit.
10 bit is useful for compositing and color grading. Otherwise, 8 bit it fine for everything else.

Batch determination process in SD- Delivery: any Function module?

Hi All,
I want to use the logic used in SD-Delivery for batch determination in Batch Search Strategy report.
Is there any function module avaialable for batch determination process done in SD so that I can make use of it?
Thanks in advance,
Rgds,
MAdhuri

Hi Madhuri,
My requirement is to select that batches that were picked up by the delivery (i.e. those that passed the search strategy) using the Material and Plant combination, Customer as an optional parameter.
Could you please provide the function modules that are required to make use of the function module "VB_BATCH_DETERMINATION"? Also, could you please let me know if we need to take into consideration any other factors when using the function module VB_BATCH_DETERMINATION
Thanks in advance!
Thanks,

Sequence Settings - Video Processing question!? AVCHD

I'm using the panasonic HMC40, very similar to the HMC150.
So i'm shooting in AVCHD.
My Sequence Settings are as follow...
1280x720 - HDTV 720p (16:9)
Pixel Aspect Ratio - Square
Quicktime Video Settings Compressor: Apple ProRes422 - quality 100%
('Interlace' and 'Enable 4:4:4 chroma filtering' are NOT selected)
Video Processing
Render in 8-bit YUV
Process Maximum White as: White
Motion Filtering Quality: Normal
now while i'm editing the footage looks good, but when i go to export my video (export - quicktime movie - current settings - recompress all frames NOT selected) i get some weird lines from lights and color changes. almost like the colors aren't blending right.
does this have to do with the Video Processing settings?
what is the best way for setting this up for AVCHD footage to make it as close as possible to the real footage?

The weird lines from lines sounds like a function of cheap camera lenses. All consumer cameras show streaks off bright lights. Not sure what you mean by the colors not blending right, though it sounds like banding, which you often see in low light situations with small chips and heavily compressed formats like AVCHD. A screen shot of what you're talking about would be helpful.

Can you add batch video transition in adobe premiere cs5.5?

can you add batch video transition in adobe premiere cs5.5?
i want to make a slide show with my pictures and i dont want to add fade in/out 400 times so is there any batch transition or one click fade in/out or at least something like that?

Use:
1. Automate to sequence and select the transition you want, or
2. Apply the transition in the timeline, copy, select the rest of the clips and paste attributes.

judykpete,
try visiting this Adobe page — does it show that some version of Flash is currently installed on your MacBook Pro, or does just a grey box show? If it’s the latter, then you’ll need to install Flash; instructions to do so can be found further down on that same page.

Hi
As long as this is new instalation I recommend you to use SIP on all of the end points where possible and integrate with CUCM using sip trunk this will give you two main benefits
- the transformation of the called and calling number from and to CUCM will be easier
-if have end point using H323 and communicating with other end using sip the vcs will do internetworking to this call and you will need license for each internetworked call plus the media path will go through the vcs not direct between end points for internetworking
If you use sip make the end point name/sip usri as [email protected] Calls from vcs to CUCM use search rules with trsformation so if end point dial 123456 only from vcs and the default call is sip vcs will send it to CUCM as 123456@sip domain.com you need to do transformation before sending it to CUCM and send it as 123456@cucmip.
This is just in brief and also using the expersss way you can have your sip domain registered over the Internet and configure dns srv record point sip ton the vcs public ip and Internet calls can come to your end point sip name directly no need to publish ip to others to dial you

I have a lot of videos processed using elements 2. I have bought a MAC. If I buy the newest version of elements for my new mac, will i be able to easily transfer the videos to the newest version i.e. will the new software automatically integrate the work done on those videos. What is my best option to transfer those videos to my new mac. Thanks

What is your "Elements 2" - Photoshop Elements 2 or Premiere Elements 2? For now I will assume Premiere Elements 2 which had to be on some version of Windows.
What do you have from Premiere Elements 2 - project files (.prel) or exports to file formats such as .avi or .mpg or .mov?
Project files from Premiere Elements (any version) Windows cannot be used in Premiere Elements (any version) Mac.
Video files exported from Premiere Elements 2 with its QuickTime choice (.mov files) would be likely to open in Premiere Elements 13 Mac. The other Premiere Elements
2 choices of MPEG and Windows Media would be expected to need conversion to .mov or .mp4 before import into Premiere Elements 13.
In Premiere Elements 13 Mac, consider importing the files from wherever you save files in Mac to a project with the project's Expert workspace Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets. I would strongly encourage you to set the project preset manually (File Menu/New/Project) to match the properties of these source files before import rather than let the project do it manually for you based on the properties of the first video dragged to the Timeline.
Please supply more details so that we can fine tune the reply. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

Video Processing SHUTS DOWN Computer

I continue to be frustrated beyond reason by my MacBooks inability to process video files shot on a camcorder. I have uploaded my video to iMovie, iDVD and iMovieHD. EVERY time I try to share the movie or burn it to a disk the computer shuts down in the middle of the operation. Every application, every time. This is ridiculous. Can anyone help me with a fix? I've got 13 minutes of standard definition video. Hardly an amount that should present a problem.

I want to be as precise as possible. The end result of whatever malfunction occurrs in the video processing function is that the computer's power is off. There is no warning window or anything. Just off.

Want to Create batch in process order at a time of Operation release.

HI,
We are going to release operation one by one for process order. There are 4 operations in my process order. I want to create batch in process order header when i release first operation.
Is there way i can set the Production Scheduler Profile to PREL to create batch at header level.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the Information,
to my understanding, all the Operation controls are in Operation control key.
There is No Batch creation functionlaity assiciated with Operation control key.
Look for a user exit to create the Batch with the PREL of the Header or REL of the 1st operation.

Ratan
