Seeking a way to export animation data as Mocha tracking data.

Hello,
I am using an online program for customized video which accepts MochaAE corner pin data to track the custom elements. The catch is that the source video is a motion graphic animation which I created in After Effects, so tracking elements that I've already animated seems both time-consuming and less accurate. Ideally, I'd like to export the animation or corner pin data for these animated image layers directly out of After Effects, rather than tracking them separately.
Does anyone know if this is possible?

You will have to ask the mocha people. I'm sure there is some documentation on the internal data format somewhere and based on that you may be able to find a way to convert your animation suitably.

Wary about upgrading my wife's 3gs from ios4 to ios6. will the data associated with an app be lost or will it be restored from the backup after the upgrade completes. There is no way to export, email or even print the data contained in the app

If the backup and restore takes place properly, you shouldn't have any issue as millions of people have done an update from iOS 4.

I cannot import my mocha tracking data to after effects

This is the message I keep getting "THE DATA IN YOUR FILE SEEMS TO BE NO VALID TRACKING DATA". Anyone knows why, and how to fix it?

Often the Imagineer folks are the best resource for troubleshooting mocha. See this FAQ entry for their support information:

Is there a way to export / extract a document's used data merge placeholders?

Is there any way, by feature, scripting or XML trickery, to extract a list of the Data Merge placeholders that are actually used in an Indesign document?
InDesign clearly has this data - it uses it in the Data Merge window to tell you which pages the listed placeholders appear on. Is there any way to get the list of used placeholders as a CSV, list, text file, etc etc?
I'm looking for a way on a very complex Data Merge project to ease fixing errors and to ease paring the data sheets down to only the fields that are in use (out of hundreds).

The problem really is that one person has InDesign and the other has Photoshop.
The workflow is images from photoshop are placed in Photoshop.
Not the layout from InDesign is placed in photoshop.
That's how the software is designed to work.
What people are saying is that Photoshop cannot work this way in dealing with layouts, it's a nightmare and will give you terrible results and cost you time and effort when updating things in Photoshop, it has all the makings of a Final Destination movie, particularly in the area of the later sequels.
But let's not get hung up on those franchises.
If the person needs to edit an Indesign file and can't afford the full cost of InDesign then there are other workarounds:
1. If it's just text
If all they are doing is updating text then you can use File>Export>Rich Text Format from a selection of text, this will make a Word version of the text that they can edit. You can then use File>Import and import the RTF that is edited.
2. You can use InCopy
This is a viable solution for editors that need to see the text in the Layout Format, but it hasn't got all the bells and whistles of InDesign, but it works in tangent with InDesign, it's not as pricey as InDesign and it also allows you to lock out editors from editing certain parts or moving things within the layout. And it can update your InDesign file on the fly.
3. You can use Rorohikos Story Tweaker
http://www.rorohiko.com/wordpress/2009/03/25/storytweakertextedits/
There are workarounds that you can find for people that don't have InDesign. It's just that the Photoshop workflow isn't a viable solution in any sense.
For example, I have my layouts proofed in PDF format, where the proofreader adds Comments to the PDF. It works for our workflow as I'm the one editing the only file in existence.
But to go from InDesign to Photoshop is a complete waste of time and effort on everyone's part. There is no need to go that route, there's no reason, there's no point.

Any way to export QuickTime w/ multiple audio tracks?

I remember seeing QuickTime movies where on playback you can select which audio tracks to listen to. Kind of like director's commentary or different language versions for the same video stream...
Is there a how-to guide for making a movie like this in FCP? We have one video file and multiple audio files that we've placed in different tracks in the timeline but when we export to a QuickTime movie they get all merged together. We tried setting it up with multiple audio channels and then control-clicking to get that menu with each audio track and putting them into the different channels, but there must be something we're missing...
Is this something only FCP 6 can do? I think we have version 5.
thanks!

I'm a little rusty on this - and without access to FCP 5 at the immediate moment - but I think the key is to set your sequence to have multiple (as in more than 2) audio outputs, then select Channel-Grouped for audio during the Export via QT Conversion.
If that doesn't work, you could always paste additional audio tracks onto your movie in QT Pro. After all, you'll need to tweak your language settings for audio track in QT Pro.
But where have you seen this implemented to do a Director's commentary-type option? I've read that multiple (discrete) audio tracks work only if they're tagged as different languages and the user's playback system is setup for one of those languages. (But I've been wrong before...)
And welcome to the forums.

Exporting Options iPhoto '09 to include date

I have scanned and imported many [1300 to be exact up to this point] negatives into iPhoto. It has worked very well and FACES has been a great help.
I am trying to export photos and include the dates [of course not all have original dates, but I was able to input correct dates on probably about 100 of them]. I would like the DATES to export at least in some format. So far I have preferred the web/page type export which does give description, but even if I include EXIF data, it still does not include the date.
I just though of a possible reason, I started imported as TIF files which I prefer and iPhoto does an OK job with them, does it not export date on these and it would if they were jpg? I have all the photos also as JPG but I don't want to lose all the work I did with FACES.
So after all that rambling, is there a way to export photos which will include the date of the photo, for use by someone with Windows computer.
Thanks.

I'm just trying to send photos to others so they can see the dates also. I didn't know there were applications that could just read the exif data though.
I actually figured out how to get the dates out as I wanted them...
I used Print contact sheet and select the option that prints all the data where I can check date and title. Wish it included faces, but on most photos I've included the names of the people in the description.
Then I can use print as PDF [save] and all the information is there. Now I just need to figure out how to combine my PDF files into one big one [each set has 100 photos, nine pages in a PDF file] but that shouldn't be much of a problem.
Thanks for your help.
I'm learning iPhoto as I go... thanks for your help.

Is there a way to export the coord data of AE objects in 3D space? (for programmers)

Hey guys, we're making a video that will mostly be a fixed camera view but have objects animate around this view. The priority is the audio; the objects that animate will sound like they are flying around the camera's point of view (the user when they're using headphone). Since I will be animating the objects inside After Effects and already be assigning them X,Y, & Z coordinates during the animation, is there any way to take the data of the objects location through time to give to the programmers so they can assign the audio/attributes to the objects moving around in the scene? Sort of like how if I made a null object in AE, I can have it be the parent to another layer(s), I need to find a way to make this same concept work but for audio and other assigned attributes. It seems it would save us a lot of time if this is possible instead of figuring out where the sound is coming from later on by scratch and guessing. If there are other programs that can do this please let me know, I do use Maya and other 3D apps. Thanks!
~ Dave

There is this reference:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AfterEffects/9.0/WS3878526689cb91655866c1103906c6dea-7a38a.htm l
Perhaps there is a way to export the javascript as a text file or some format useful to your programmers.
Can you give more details as to your end result and starting point? You mentioned you use other 3D programs. Maya used to have in Maya 4.0 a way to dynamically animate according to audio. Other 3D programs still offer this functionality through their scripting and/or interface.
Flash Pro has 3D layers and if your animations are short enough you might be able to do the project in Flash and access the SoundChannel aspects of ActionScript 3.0 . AE uses a version of Javascript. There might be a way in the AE Scripting reference to read objects within the file and a method in the scripting to export these objects. I'm only guessing since I don't know how to script in AE but I see no one has replied to this thread and I was curious myself.

Is there a way to export and print the browser data as a spread sheet?

I'm in the process of logging approximately 1,500 shots for a documentary (the old fashioned way - long hand: shot #, TC in, descriptions... ) and I'm wondering if there's a way to export and print the data in the browser as a spread sheet. It seems like a pretty simple thing, but I don't see it any where. Am I missing something?

Yes, people I work with use it, assistants fill the fields out for me. As far as I know there is no "Print Browser" option. Some folks have assistants copy and paste the info into text, csv or xml files. Since everthing has gone to meta tags, this approach is going the way of the electric spoon or feeding mayonnaise to Tuna.

Is there any way to export IT Resource data from OIM using the export tool?

Hello,
we are trying to migrate an OIM development environment to a preproduction environment and we need to migrate more than 400 IT Resources. We have exported some IT Resources and when we imported them in the preproduction environment their data was not migrated. Is there any way to export IT Resource data from OIM using the export tool? Or is there any other way to do this without doing it by hand?
Thank you for your help
Kind Regards

Well , OIM doesnot provide any such facility to export ITResource data along with ITResource .
Directly updating the DB could be an option ..

What is the easiest way to export all tables data from Oracle to MS SQL Server?

Hello MS,
I would like to export all tables from Oracle 11.2 to MS SQL Server 2012 R1.
Using the tool "Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant v6.0 for Oracle" did not work for me because there are too many warnings and errors regarding the schema creation (MS cannot know it because they are not the schema designer). My idea is
to leave/skip the schema creation to the application designer/supplier and instead concentrate on the Oracle data export and MS SQL data import.
What is the easiest way to export all tables data from Oracle to MS SQL Server quickly?
Is it:
- the „MS SQL Import and Export Data“ Tool
- the “MS SQL Integration Services” Tool
- not Oracle dump *.dmp format because it is a propritery binary format
- flat file *.csv (delimited format)
Thanks!

Hi lingodingo,
If you want to directly export all tables from Oracle database to SQL Server, I suggest you use SQL Server Import and Export Wizard. Because you just need to follow the wizard with GUI, this is the easiest way.
If you want to make some modification for the tables‘ data before loading to SQL Server, I suggest you use SQL Server Integration Services package. For more details, please refer to the following similar thread:

What is the best way to export the data out of BW into a flat file on the S

Hi All,
We are BW 7.01 (EHP 1, Service Pack Level 7).
As part of our BW project scope for our current release, we will be developing certain reports in BW, and for certain reports, the existing legacy reporting system based out of MS Access and the old version of Business Objects Release 2 would be used, with the needed data supplied from the BW system.
What is the best way to export the data out of BW into a flat file on the Server on regular intervals using a process chain?
Thanks in advance,
- Shashi

Hello Shashi,
some comments:
1) An "open hub license" is required for all processes that extract data from BW to a non-SAP system (including APD). Please check with your SAP Account Executive for details.
2) The limitation of 16 key fields is only valid when using open hub for extracting to a DB table. There's no such limitation when writing files.
3) Open hub is the recommended solution since it's the easiest to implement, no programming is required, and you don't have to worry much about scaling with higher data volumes (APD and CRM BAPI are quite different in all of these aspects).
For completeness, here's the most recent documentation which also lists other options:

Any way to export from iPhoto and have the file date be the photo date?

I can't deal with iPhoto any longer. I just imported photos from the last few days and they ended up being associated with some "Event" from Jul 19, 2007. So now I have an event that spans Jul 19, 2007 to Feb 21, 2009!!! I'd like to just display, sort, view all photos in my library by date (I am meticulous about dates on all my devices) but apparently that's not possible anymore. "Events" is the worse thing to ever happen to my photo library...
So I'd like to export them all and just use the Finder. It actually works the way I'd like. However there does not seem to be any way to export the photos so that the file creation or the file modification date is the actual date the photo was taken as shown in the information box in iPhoto. Does anyone know how to to this? Or is this just the iPhoto engineers screwing with people like me who have gotten disgusted with their product?
Thanks!

Yes, I know what the Finder is... The cool thing is it actually does know about the contents of the file. For example it can display thumbnails of the images contained within.
Even better the files can be sorted any way you want, are not hidden in some odd proprietary package, can be backed up, restored at will and can easily be programmatically changed using AppleScript. The file system for an OS is generally bullet-proof and as such doesn't screw with dates like iPhoto did (the events stuff screwed with all our dates and has been a disaster for us and the 40,000 or so pictures we had in our library).
iPhoto has just gotten too modal, too bloated, and too proprietary while not providing the basics like a way for my wife and I to have a single library for all our photos. On the other hand using just the file system and some network storage this is easy.
For the recored most pros I consulted with have moved to the file system and Finder as their primary means of managing their photos. I'm just looking for an easy way to get my stuff out of iPhoto so I can do the same.

Best way to export data with r.t. prompts and have dense dim mbrs on rows?

Hi All-
What is the best way to export data with Run time prompts out of Essbase?
One thought was to use Business Rules with run time variables and DATAEXPORT command, but I came across at least one limitation where I cannot have months (part of dense Time Periods dimension) on rows.
I have only two dense dimensions: Accounts and Time Periods and I need both of these on rows. This would come handy when user enter Start and End month and year for data to be exported e.g. If start period is Feb 2010 and end is Jan 2011, I get data for all months in 2010 and 2011.

Best way to export data for a migration

Hi Oracle Community,
What's the best way to export data from an Oracle 8i database for it to be suitable for import into an Oracle 10g database?
What's the best way to export data if it is to go into different rdbms database?
Thanks, David

Thanks everyone for all your help. You guys are great.
There seems to be many good ways to export your data from Oracle into a flat file format, suitable for import into other RDBS': Oracle, mysql, postgresql, etc.
A few tools where mentioned but using SQL*Plus, which comes with Oracle (And SQL*LDR on the backend, which also comes with Oracle) seem the most straight forward.
I found this script on asktom.oracle.com to work great, slightly modified here,
(to Include linesize max, and pipes rather than commas):
set echo off newpage 0 space 0 pagesize 0 feed off head off trimspool on
set linesize 32767
spool payment.txt
select
PAYMENT_ID||'|'||
USER_ID||'|'||
<more fields her>
from
payment
spool off
exit ;
It works great. Rather than making one of these for each table I wrote an perl script called ora_export. http://crowfly.net/oracle/ora_export. It runs in Unix and only requires SQL*PLUS. It creates these four files:
<tablename>.def # list of table columns and types (SQL*Plus DESC)
<tablename>_dump.sql # a script to export the data
<tablename>.psv # THE DATA (eq. - name|address|etc)
<tablename>_load.ctl # SQL*LDR control for ORCL if you need it.
