Selecting multiple projects

How do I select multiple projects and drag them into a blue folder? it's really laborious dragging them one by one. Regular shift click does not work- is there an easier way? Thanks-

to the best of m knowledge this isn't possible ... i too have tried the same thing ... but alas no ... i have submitted feedback here ...

How to Select Multiple Projects?

Another: "Wait a sec -- you mean Aperture still can't...?" question...
So I'm in the Inspector's Projects tab. I've just created and named a new sub-folder, into which I want to drag several dozen projects. I've tried Cmd-clicking; I've tried Shift-clicking. But so far I only seem to be able to select (and then drag) one Project at a time.
Does this mean, in the above scenario, I have to select, drag, and drop each of my 47 (or however many) Projects into that new sub-folder separately -- one at a time?
Please tell me there's a way to select multiple Projects (and multiple Folders for that matter) in order to do some quick re-organizing/re-arranging in the Inspector. Or is this going to be yet another should've-been-there-in-the-Beta-version Feature Request?
Thanks,

I'm also frustrated by not being able to select multiple projects. I guess we should leave feedback.

Select multiple projects?

Is there a way to do this? I want to drop into a folder but neither shift or command clicking selects more than on at a time.

nope ... only one at a time thru aperture ...
backdoor way:
quit aperture
locate aplibrary file in finder
right click -> show package contents
locate projects and move them to the folder you want
close finder windows
restart aperture, holding command+option to rebuild library
ONLY DO THIS ON A COPY OF LIBRARY ...

Batch uploading multiple projects from Aperture 3 into sets on Flickr

I'm a new Aperture user (ex iPhoto) and imported all my photo's into Aperture. Like many of you here I sort my projects into folders locally in format year-month-date - title.
Now I've imported all these folders (around 450) at once and each local folder is nicely imported as a seperate project. So far so good.
In the past I've started syncing all these folders to Flickr sets through the Flickrs uploadr (manually creating each folder, tagging etc). Aperture has Flickr syncing build in which is great, but it seems like I can only sync one project at a time. When I select multiple projects the flicks icon turns 'unavailable'. Does anyone now is this can be done?
And secondly is there a way to format the title of each created set (through Apple Script which I don't now anything about?) or is it perhaps built into Aperture?
Thnx for the help!

Oh, baby! This bad boy flies!! Here's what to expect:
I had 40,000 images in Aperture 3 and it was dog slow at everything. I installed 3.1 update today. It took 5 minutes to update the database and then behaved marginally better than before at ASIC library navigation. I was disappointed.
Then I QUIT the app. It took a couple of hours to "update files for sharing" with a counter that went to 110,000 images. So it must have updated every thumbnail and variation of preview. Turned it back on , and BAM. Came up fully in seconds. Paused for 10 seconds ten everything was lickrty split. For the first time ever, I can use the Projects view with all 791 projects and scroll quickly. I even put it in photos modevand whipped thru all 49,000 images!
Haven't done anybprocessing yet, but i'm liking it!!

Aperture cannot export multiple projects for original files

i want to export projects (original files) to time capsule folder for sharing
i can only go into the individual projects, select all, then export to my desire location
but i cannot select multiple projects and do it at once, as i have 100+ projects
it will be a nightmare if i go projects by projects

Tks for the reply , the reason I wrote (original) means I want each project name will be a directory name
That is what the Export settings in my screenshot should give you, if you select the images from several projects at once and export using "File > Export > Originals".
Only you have to select the images inside the projects, not the projects in "Projects" view. Move the projects to a containing folder and select all images in the folder, or select all photos in the "Photos" view.

Dragging multiple projects - possible?

I just imported my iPhoto library to Aperture 1.1 and I want to drag bunches of the projects created from iPhoto film rolls into a new folder structure (based on years and months).
Is it possible to select multiple projects and drag them to a new location? It doesn't appear so, but I'm wondering if I've missed a keystroke trick. I'd rather not drag them one-by-one.
Thanks,
Fraser

You can do this with the make multi-camera source sequence command in Premiere Pro CS6 (note that this was posted before CS6 was launched):
Mark the clips
Select the clips
Choose Clip > Create Multi-Camera Source Sequence
Choose the style of synchronization and click OK
Right click on Multi-Camera source sequence and choose > Open in Timeline.
Clips are now stacked up inside of a sequence

I am attempting to upload multiple photos on a macpro from a cd. I am used to a pc. I tried using the command button to select multiples but it does not work. Please advise

I am attempting to upload multiple photos on a mac pro from a cd. I have tried holding the "command"button down to select multiple photos but it does not work. Please advise. Thanks,John

why not sort by (name, date, etc) and Click on 1st and Shift-Click on last.
Might work better to copy or import to a project folder.

Is there a way to select multiple sequences and batch export them using the same settings in CS6?

I am a current Final Cut Pro7 user and looking to switch over to Premiere Pro CS6. We edit approx. 100 short (15 sec.) videos daily, and then select them all at the end of the day and batch export them over night using the same export recipe for all. I have having trouble finding an easy way to do this in Premiere pro CS6, as command +E is grayed out if i select more than one sequence at a time.
so far, it appears that i have to select each video individually and manually set encoding recipe and export location for each.... Not only would this be terribly time consuming, but it leaves a lot of room for error and missed videos. I thought i would be able to send all of the sequences to Adobe Media Encoder, but i dont see that option either.
Any suggestions/
thanks!

Open Media Encoder and add your Sequences:
File > Add Premiere Pro Sequence
Navigate to your Premiere Project and select it in the list.
You can then select multiple Sequences from the Project (Ctrl+Click)
and load them all at once into Media Encoder and apply
the same encoding preset to all Sequences at the same time.

Is there a way to render multiple projects in FCP

Im currently working with an iMac alum 2.66 with final cut studio 2. Im making a lot of videos for web for a client in HDV and using motion templates and such. Most of the videos are 2 and a half to 3 minutes. It takes me about 20 minutes to do a video but 25 to 30 minutes of rendering. I was wondering if there was a way to render a couple projects or sequences at the same time to speed up on time working, say work on 5 videos and then render and leave and go about my day. That kind of thing.

Select your sequences in the Browser -- Command-click to select multiple -- then press Option-R, which is FCP's Render All function.
Speaking of that function (in the Menubar, Sequence > Render All), make sure that the kinds of renders that you want -- Full, Unlimited, Preview, etc -- are selected.
The default settings select everything except Full (aka The Dark Green Line) which may (or may not) be a hassle for you. I know when I'm going out to a QT file, I want Full selected when I do Option-R, otherwise I burn extra time as FCP must 'render' that material on export.

FCPX 10.0.7 hangs when loading multiple projects - a non-destructive work around

FCPX 10.0.7 hangs when loading multiple projects - a non-destructive work around....
Hi Guys, I upgraded from FCPX 10.0.6 to 10.0.78 and discovered to my immense frustration that many of my 100+ FCPX projects would not load.
Symptom:
FCPX 10.0.7 appears to hang ("spinning beachball") with either high CPU% on a single core or with 1-2% CPU busy (activity monitor.app) when a FINAL CUT PROJECT is selected. No logs error information in /var/logs ..hmm
notices that the "status circle" spins around endlessly.
Actvity Monitor.app shows "Final Cut Pro (Not Responding)
and also I notice in some cases that an OEM filter ("NEAT VIDEO NOISE REDUCTION") is in progress to be loaded. FCPX V10.0.7 must be FORCED QUITtted to remove it from system.
History: Upgraded FCPX from V10.0.6 to V10.0.07.
"FINAL CUT EVENTS" and "FINAL CUT PROJECTS" on a single file system on SAS 16TB disk array (768MB/sec read via AJA system test) and 60% utilised capacity… FCP EVENTS has 400 events in it .. some 5.2TB of Prores essence etc .. all works fine! (i.e. the storage system is first class and is NOT the issue)
32GB of RAM on MAC PRO 2009 Nehalem 16 x Vcore with ATI 5780 card and ATTO HBA's (i.e. plenty of resources!)
As usual with any "upgrade" to FCPX 10.0.? all the EVENT objects need to be upgraded. In my case this takes an hour or two.. so I do that when asleep.
After experiencing above, I restored the FCPX EVENTS LIbrary of that file system from LTO4 tape archive (BRU-PE ) and still had the same issues as above.
WORKAROUND:
FORCEd QUIT FCPX V10.0.7
RENAMEd "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects" to "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects_original"
created (make) a new "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects" (use finder)
For each project !!! in "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects_original", (do one project at a time!!!)
MOVE "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects_original/one_fcpx_projext_nnnn_folder" to "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects"
Make sure you move ONLY one project at a time. If you have a subfolder of projects, please do each project one at a time (serially!)
Launch FCPX V10.0.7 and BE PATIENT!!! .. DONT click or fiddle with the UI.. it seems when you intervene it locks up as well…
Let FCPX V10.0.7 settle….
select the project you just added above and RELINK any objects it needs. Thumbnails and proxies will be rendered again.. just be patient
wait until ALL the rendering as stopped.
QUIT FCPX V10.0.7
(now if FCPX locks up, just force it out and start again as above).
repeat for all projects in "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects_original" (go to step 4 ad do until all projects moved)
When all is COMPLETED MAKE SURE YOU ARCHIVE an instance (or make a backup ) of "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects"
If this procedure has worked the folder "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects_original" will have zero (nill, none) projects in it.
I have managed to restore ALL my "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects" this xmas between drinking etc. I'm satisfied that its all ok.
Other issues:
use DISK WARRIOR or TT PRO 6 to make sure that the file system volume where your "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects" are is physically ok. I noticed some entries in file system's volume table that represented objects in "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects" were at fault when I used these utilities… FWIW.
SUMMARY: yes this took ages to d, however luckily I had everything in at least 3 instances in an archive which has saved me many time in the old FCP& and prior days… it was just a matter of time to put it back together.
I put this outage down to may be my own impatience when I first fired up FCPX 10.0.7 after the upgrade.
I'm interested if this workaround is helpful to others and in addtiion if others have a more satisfactory remedy.

Hi Eb, yeah I could not see any "memory leak" or unusual consumption of REAL memory whose less availability would cause excessive PAGEing and SWAPping as seen in the Activty Monitor.app
I watch this carefully especially the use of REAL MEMORY by 3rd Paryy apps. BTW there are a few that cause ALLOCATED but NOT USED memory (blue in the A.M.app UI). Simply a unix PURGE command can release that memory and help clean up the PAGE and VM swap files (its alleged!).
Yes, you may be might with the element of "Luck" involved. I would add though, that having MULTIPLE project displaying in the STORYLINE window and loading always caused my FCP 10.0.7 jam up at startup with h symtoms and observations I described.
TIP: I might also add that for a super speedy launch of FCPX one may also emply setting each PROJECT's UI to show only AUDIO thus negating the need to contstruct or reneder out a PREVIEW ui in each clip in the storyline.
Your/Apples suggestion of the movememt (rename) of "Final Cut Pro Projects" to "Final Cut Pro Projects Hidden" is similar to what I proposed above to stop FCPX 10.0.7 accessing and building it up at startup. This workaround has been useful inthe past as well.
ALso one might also get the stick out and remove (delete/rm) the ~/Library/Saved Application State/com.apple.FinalCut.savedState in one's home ~/Library so that FCPX wont do such a neat job reinstating FCPX last time you crashed it... This has been helpful also in diagnosing my issues.
Lastly I have noticed that:
impatience clicking on the FCPX UI when in the unstable state causes it to lock up with NO visible CPU% busy.... as if its waiting on something which is usually me MEMTERMing it via FORCE QUIT and
the projects where I have employed the NEAT VIDEO Noise Reduction OEM filter for FCPX seem to exasserbate the PROJECT loading issues when several PROJECTS are available at FCPX startup time.
As of yesterday I have some 400+ EVENTS Final Cut Pro Events and 130+ projects of varying compexites in a single file system on Final Cut Pro Projects all working fine and as good as gold again!
Oh and one more thing, I had to RE-RENDER many projects of them again... strange as the FCP PROJECT library was renstated from a recent LTO archive as of V10.0.6 FCPX.. strange that...I would have expected if the projects and events were 10.0.6/7 compatable as proposed by Tom, that this would not be necessary... hmm straneg that
I'll monitor this thread.
Thanks for your comments lads!

Adobe Premiere CC Crashes When Selecting Multiple Clips

This project was already derailed by multicam, now that I've got my assembly edit ready to go, I've discovered a new show-stopper: Premiere Pro CC crashes when I select multiple clips on the timeline. I can't select more than 3 clips at a time, or the entire program comes crashing to it's knees. Anyone else experiencing something like this? Can anyone else reproduce this behavior?
Here's a video of the experience:
http://youtu.be/DPOUinOSzDE
Any word on an update?
ASUS G75VX
Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit
GTX 670MX, 3GB GDDR5
16GB RAM

Progress. I've been able to isolate the problem. On my timeline I have some "regular" clips and some "merged" clips. Regular clips are from either source: a Canon 7D (MP4 / MOV) or a Canon VIXIA HF G20 (AVCHD). The Merged clips are only from the Canon 7D only (for video) and an audio recorder (MP3 at 320kbps). The 7D footage is 1080/24p. The VIXIA also shoots in 24p.
Since "Merge Clips" sync on audio is not working for me, I've employed my former CS6 workflow:
1. Sync all of the video and audio clips through PluralEyes 3 resulting in a preliminary sequence, "Clips_to_be_merged_sequence".
2. I work my way through each of the clips, adjusting the audio track(s) for variances in drift between the on camera sound and the audio recorder. I do this enabling "Audio Time Units", rather than video frames, so I can get extremely acurate.
3. When I have a timeline full of nicely syncronized audio/video pairs, I merge clips, one painstaking clip at a time (of course I set up a keyboard shortcut for this). For the merge, I "sync on In points".
4. The merged clip is added to my project panel.
5. Now, when it comes time to choose my sound bite selects, I load the merged clip into the Source panel and mark my Ins and Outs.
6. Time to create a subclip, of course with the new SOFT handles. (I'VE BEEN WANTING SOFT HANDLES FOR A LONG TIME!!!)
7. The subclip appears to be properly created and placed into the Project panel. It even shows the correct duration (i.e. 14 seconds)
8. When I drag that subclip onto the timeline it drags the entire length of the parent clip, without in or out points (not just the 14 second subclip).
9. I undo and decide to go back through the original clips again; mark ins and outs and simply drop to the timeline (either Insert or Overwrite).
So in the end, I'm using sections of the Merged clip, but I'm not using Subclips of the Merged clips (because that doesn't work).
Now, what's happening, though I didn't know it when I recorded the video above, is that Premiere is crashing any time I select both "regular" footage and "merged" footage.
So, two bugs here:
1. Can't use Subclips that are derived from Merged clips in ANY timeline. Once dragged to the timeline it expands to the full duration of the original clip.
2. Can't select both "regular" and "merged" clips at the same time on the timeline.
JStrawn (staff) was kind enough to offer to take a look at some small sample files. But my interview clips are very long, and I'm concerned that if I export them, to make them shorter, they may not actually exibit the problems I'm having on the original clips.
Anyone else using this type of "Merge Clip" workflow that could reproduce either the subclip-from-merged-clip bug or the mixed-selection crash given the steps above?

Selecting multiple recording modes in Captivate 3

I'm using Captivate 3. I understand the concept of choosing your mode eg. demo mode but when you first start a project, you are allowed to select multiple modes.
From what I can see however, you can only produce and add content to these multiple outputs simultaneously, at project creation. Multiple .cp files have been created but you can only edit one at a time. Any additional recordings/edits I add to one will not be picked up by the others.
Is that your understanding? Or am I missing something? My intention was to produce both a demo version and a training simulation simultaneously, with editing of captions and additional recording to be carried out afterwards. It's not viable for me to do all my recording in one seamless session.

Sorry to disagree a little bit. In some cases having the possibility to create 3 recording modes at once is useful and I do not understand why you say this has been abandoned in later versions? They are still there in Captivate 5, and I think that is the latest version. Could you explain
Useful in this situation: you want to have combination of Show me/Try me/Test in one file. Capture in the 3 modes at once and you can use copy/paste (or import in previous versions) slides to achieve your goal. You will be sure that the setup (resolution etc) and the capture will be identical, whereas if you capture at different times in the different modes this is not always the case. It is much easier to delete some slides than to create slides that fit perfectly in the middle of other previous captured slides.In the case you described, I would capture in 2 modes (Demonstration and Training), then copy the 25% slides I need from the Training mode to the Demonstration file.
Hope you understand this viewpoint?

Is it possible to select multiple clips and create a sequence from each individually?

Is it possible to select multiple clips and create a sequence from each individually? If you select multiple clips and select "New Sequence from Clip" it puts all of the clips into one sequence. Is there an easy way to quickly perform this on multiple selected clips separately?

So now I *have* used Butler with PPro, and it works very well, here's an idea of how to do it:
Import folder of clips
Ensure first clip selected in bin and sorted by Media Type
Most of these commands need shortcuts assigning - mine listed below
Macro:
To create seq from selected clip:
‘New seq from clip’ (Shift+CMD+N)
To duplicate this seq:
‘Reveal Sequence in project’ (Shift+F) - not strictly necessary as it will already be selected
‘Window | Project’ (CMD+9)
‘Edit | Duplicate’ (Shift+CMD+/)
To rename the duplicate
‘Enter’
Various keystrokes to rename as required
‘Enter’ - to make name stick
‘Shift+Enter’ - to reselect that sequence
‘Esc’ - to get out of editing name
To change resolution of duplicate:
‘Sequence Settings’ (CMD+5)
‘Tab’ x 3 (to get to H Frame Size)
‘xxxx’ (to enter frame width)
‘Tab’ x 1 (to get to V Frame Size)
‘yyyy’ (to enter frame height
‘Enter’ x 2 as prompt will say previews will have to be deleted
To then find next clip ready for macro to run again:
‘Open in Timeline’ (Shift+CMD+O)
‘Match Frame’ (Shift+Spacebar)
‘Reveal in Project’ (Shift+CMD+F)
‘Window | Project’ (CMD+9)
‘Down Arrow’ - to select next clip
I tried it with Butler (manytricks.com - free trial, $20 to buy) and it worked a treat, takes about 3 secs per clip
AHK (for windows) is at autohotkeys.com and is free.
You could start making multiple macros - that would enable you to do grade / resize in middle of duplication - and then export etc, but I figure you can figure that out ;-)

Result Analysis - Multiple Projects

Hi,
I am trying to do RA for multiple projects in Tcode KKAJ. When i select a selection variant and execute it, it says 'No selection found based on the given criteria'. And i get a warning;
No object was selected
Message no. KJ816
I am able to do RA for individual projects. Please advice.
Thanks & Regards,
Kabir

Hi Suraj,
Thanks for your update.
Could you please let me know the procedure / tcode where we need to delete the plan values.
Thanks & Regards,
Dwarak.

Moving Ref Images in Multiple projects

Does anyone know if its possible to batch move multiple projects of referenced images in one library. I am moving to a bigger external drive and don't want to have to go in to each project and repoint it to the new referenced file location.

Yes,
Just use any view where you can see the images - even a search based on whatever criteria you want, select them all and use file->relocate. The subfolder options will even let you restructure them in various subfolder formats based on date, project name, whatever.
Or...
Just move them outside of Aperture and use file->locate to reconnect them. Personally I would choose option one.
I have a bunch of stuff here on various Aperture topics
