Shane: A question about P2 workflow.

Hi Shane.
I've bookmarked that MOST useful P2 info in a previous thread.
This may be a real dumb question but:
Say you've imported the P2 card contents to a folder on a hard drive. Got that.
In the log and transfer window in FC, import that folders contents, all the clips show up in the browser.
Here is my question: When you are reviewing the clips, changing names, etc. and doing in and out points, and then send just those pieces to final cut, are those now independent files from the original import? Can you then delete the original import from the P2 card to save disk space and still have just the clips that you did the in and outs for? Or do you still need to keep the original import in it's entirety.
Thanks.
Jonathan

It is NEVER advisable to simply Log&Transfer (also setting in and out) your P2 content and dump the original files. What IS important to do is first back up your P2 content on a dedicated storage drive then Log&Transfer and only clear space after having double checked that both P2 backed up original content and QTs imported into FCP through L&T are fine.
Yes, if you set an in and out on one piece of video in L&T and then transfer to FCP that'll be your new and *independent media file*, they'll be new QT wrapped files, which will survive in whatever scratch disk you set them to stay even if you delete the original files they came from. But here is one out of several reasons why backing up everything can turn useful.
Should you decide that you need more seconds before and/or after your current transferred clip you can always go back to your back up original media and get hold of what you need ( *not to mention that having back up media is vital in case of scratch disk/drive failure* ).

  • Simple question about Portal Workflow

    Hi.
    Is possible use Portal Workflow in order to use the UWL to inform a task for KM document for Approval process, without a backend connection with a SAP business workflow ??
    thanks in advance.
    Leandro

    thanks Deepa. I solved it.
    the problem was that the iview for "my task" I am using, is different the "my task" iview in eu_role role, and the approval workflow tasks not appear in my iview, and I confuse about de workflow without backend for this cause.

  • Question about GENERAL WORKFLOW FOR DELIVERING DOLBY 5.1 FILE

    what I have usually done with my videos is to export omf to logic , and mixed in 5.1, from there i bounce in multichannel audio file, and open it i compressor and create there my AC3 file.
    is that all to get a professional accepted DOLBY DIGITAL FILE AUDIO file?
    what is real professional workflow used in feature films and main studios? I SEE hardwares around as dolby e  etc
    please help me to clear my confusion

    I've tried this myself and have had no luck with the resulting blu-ray 5.1 mix.   When I import a 5.1 AC3 file into Encore as an asset and create a new Audio track, or when I open a Premiere CS5 project with a 5.1 master audio track and use dynamic link to send it to Encore, it always mixes it down as a stereo blu-ray.  
    I have the SurCode plug in activated as well.   The blu ray file folder "STREAM" contains a file that I've tried importing into Premiere and when you look at the audio track it's always stereo, never 5.1

  • Round trip workflow with proxies between Premiere and AE / a more general question about how these programs work?

    Hi all,
    I'm new to editing with proxies in Premiere and have some questions about how to handle the relationship with After Effects. Say I have a rough cut (with proxies) and I want to send it to AE to do some effects. The simplest thing to do seems to be to replace the proxies with the originals in Premiere, send the project to AE and do my thing. But if I then want to send the project back to Premiere, it will involve the original files, which are too machine-intensive for me to edit. In theory, it seems like there should be a way to send the project with original footage to AE, do effects, send it back to Premiere, and then replace it with proxies to do further editing while retaining the effects.
    This leads to a confusion about how AE works. When I do an effect, am I correct in assuming that it does nothing to the original file? If that's the case, it seems like it shouldn't matter (in the editing stage) what file AE "applies" an effect to (proxy or original). But I feel like there's a hitch in this workflow. The same question could also be asked about going back and forth in Speed Grade.
    Perhaps there is no real answer to this and the best option is to save effects and grading for after I have picture lock, but sometimes that's not entirely possible or convenient, etc.
    Hopefully this makes some sense—It's a little hard to explain.
    Thanks.

  • Questions about a specific offline editing workflow with AVCHD Source

    I`m working on a imac i5 in FCS3 with ProRes422
    I got a Sony HDR XR 500 AVCHD Camera, i get the material in FCP with the Log & Transfer Window. In this way the material is going to render on the fly to the Target Codec ProRes422.
    In the editing workflow in FCP i recognize the system got a little problem with the big ProRes files which means that the workflow slows down by the data rates of ProRes in HD
    Now i think about offline Editing for months.
    I read about the workflow, but there`s is one part that i don`t understand.
    In every tutorial about this thread, they say that in the end of editing process you have to make your timeline files offline with the media manager, than recapture, reconnect from the tape with timecode.
    BUT I DON`T HAVE A TAPE !!
    My source files are AVCHD, which every one starts by tc 00:00:00:00
    are the following thoughts possible, and how do i do this in detail?
    when i do Copy my ProRes422 full hd files with media manager, so the filenames are still the same like the original ones.
    in the copied project i start media manager again and turn the whole project in ProResProxy for offline editing. The file names are still the same.
    then i edit my project in this ProResProxy Project !
    At the end, shortly before i want to render out the whole movie in Full Resolution ....how can i reconnect with the original sized full HD ProRes422 files that are sleeping in a folder on my machine??
    Can someone tell me something specific to this workflow, or a better one?

    Folks, i've Found a Workflow in the web and tested it tonight - (it Works)!
    And this Way i can Archive my Final project later on DVD or BR in AVCHD Source Files which are much smaller as pro Res 422 or HQ...
    Here's the process in a nutshell. 
    - Backup your full cards. This needs to be done no matter what you do. 
    - Log and Transfer the footage as ProRes Proxy. 
    - Edit. 
    - When you lock picture, Media Manage the sequence using the MAKE OFFLINE option, choose the codec you want to reimport this footage as...ProRes 422. You will end up with a new sequence with only the footage used in the cut, with handles (yes, give yourself like 3 second handles). 
    - Use Log and Transfer to load all of the card backup folders. Just locate them...don't transfer again. You are telling FCP where the folders are. Close L&T. 
    - Highlight the sequence in the Browser, or all the clips in the MEDIA folder that is created, and choose BATCH CAPTURE. This will bring up the Log and Capture interface, but don't worry, it will now log and transfer the footage, and ONLY the small chunks of video you choose. It will recognize the IN and OUT points. 
    Do a small test and see for yourself. I have done this with AVCIntra P2 and it works well. 

  • Follow-up question about forms and SharePoint Online

    I asked a question about life after InfoPath earlier, and got a good answer:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/fb23b3d9-8a09-4267-aab5-09929f6a3082/life-after-infopath-seeking-advice
    After looking at all of the limitations of SharePoint Online, I'm wondering how developers are dealing with the limitations. Lets say you are asked to develop something that has complex logic, including fetching data from external web services, dynamically
    displaying parts of a process to people depending on role, and ending up with a printable document. In our on-premises environment, InfoPath is well suited to this task, with some code behind for some things. Or, if not using InfoPath, we would use application
    pages and workflow.
    Neither of those are available in SharePoint Online, so what would you do?

    Some things, such as the conditional display of content, can be done via JavaScript. More advanced items, such as integrating external web services would likely require a SharePoint "app". A SharePoint app is essentially a link to a separate site
    that is running an asp.net web app (or PHP, or whatever). This asp.net site can do anything it needs with any web services, or conditional formatting, or anything. Because it's registered as a SharePoint app, it can also call back into the SharePoint site
    and work with data. So, a SharePoint App could present the user with a robust form that simply sends the data back to a SharePoint list. The SharePoint app can also be surfaced on the SharePoint site itself in an iframe, so the user won't know that the form
    is hosted by another server.
    By the way, the ideas behind the app model permeate the entire SharePoint environment: instead of having the SharePoint server itself run all kinds of custom business logic, that workload is handled by other servers, so the SharePoint servers can be focused
    on running the core bits of SharePoint. InfoPath puts a large load on the servers, so it's out.  XSLT list views also put a load on the server, so they're also out. SSRS is an amazingly fantastic tool, but is not supported in the cloud (and there's no
    alternative). Timer jobs, event handlers, workflow, and many other things have been re-architected to take the load off the SharePoint servers.

  • 2  questions on BRF workflow for SC

    Hello All
    I have 2 questions on BRF workflow as follows:
    1) My requirement is that the PO be created only after all the items in the Shopping cart (from all decision sets) are approved by separate agents. How do I enforce this using BRF ?The closest is  Decision Type 3: Overall Decision for Partial Document (.The decision applies to the entire decision set)
    2) IS it possible to send an approval work item to multiple agents ( Based on a role or custom attribute) and then the work item could be approved by any one of those agents which completes the workflow & deletes all other work items ?

         PO can only be created only if all approver's approve the SC.  it will be great if you give more details about the requirement.
    2) IS it possible to send an approval work item to multiple agents ( Based on a role or custom attribute) and then the work item could be approved by any one of those agents which completes the workflow & deletes all other work items ?
      Yes - a workitem could be sent to multiple approver's for a decision set, once any one of the appprover approve the SC, the workitem will be deleted automatically from rest of approver's UWL..

    Hi I have a question about shooting in Raw with my Canon EOS 6d.
    I'm in the process of learning photography and my goal was to start shooting in raw.
    I have Photoshop CS5. When I tried to edit my images in raw I received an error message stating, "The photoshop camera raw plug-in did not recognize the format. If these files are from a camera, you may need to update your camera raw plug in."
    In researching the issue I read that to edit in raw you need a camera model requirement of at least 7.3 which only works with CS6. My version of CS5 is 6.0.0.205. Being new to all this I see that my options are to upgrade to CS6 or convert by using DNG converter and paying a monthly fee. Two things I know nothing about and don't know which is would be more beneficial.
    I'd appreciate any advise on which route to go and how upgrade and what it may cost. THANKS in advance!
    Heather

    In researching the issue I read that to edit in raw you need a camera model requirement of at least 7.3 which only works with CS6.
    That is correct. Your camera was first supported by Camera Raw 7.3. Camera Raw 7.3 will not work with CS5. You need CS6 or CC.
    Being new to all this I see that my options are to upgrade to CS6 or convert by using DNG converter and paying a monthly fee. Two things I know nothing about and don't know which is would be more beneficial.
    I'd appreciate any advise on which route to go and how upgrade and what it may cost.
    It all depends on your preferred workflow and your budget.
    Using the DNG converter is free. There is no monthly fee. You use the converter to convert all Raw files from the EOS 6D to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5. That's an extra step every time - every photo. Some people don't like the extra step. Others don't mind.
    Camera raw, DNG | Adobe Photoshop CC
    Or you can upgrade to CS6 (non-Cloud) and pay the upgrade fee
    Creative Suite 6
    Or join the Cloud and pay the monthly fee
    Or join the Photoshop Photography Program (US9.99/month) and get PS CC+LR

  • Questions about SRM PO in Classic scenario

    Hello All
    I have a number of questions about the SRM PO in classic scenario.
    1) If the Backend PO is changed in ECC i.e. if any quantity is added , can we have an approval workflow
    for the same?
    We currently have release strategies for other PO's in ECC. How do we accommodate the PO changes only?
    Our requirement is not have an approval initially once the PO is created, but only for the changes
    2) If the PO is sent as XML to the Vendor, is it possible to capture the PO response in ECC? What are the Pre-requisites
    for this to happen. Should SAP XI be required for this?
    3) In case the PO is cancelled/ reduced , does the Balance goes back to SRM sourcing cockpit?
    We are using SRM 7.0
    Regards
    Kedar

    We currently have release strategies for other PO's in ECC. How do we accommodate the PO changes only?
    Our requirement is not have an approval initially once the PO is created, but only for the changes
    Sol: In ECC6.0 if the P.O is changed and release strategy is there in ECC6.0 then it follows the ECC6.0 Approval Route.
    2) If the PO is sent as XML to the Vendor, is it possible to capture the PO response in ECC? What are the Pre-requisites
    for this to happen. Should SAP XI be required for this?
    XI is mandatory
    3) In case the PO is cancelled/ reduced , does the Balance goes back to SRM sourcing cockpit.
    Once P.O is created in ECC 6.0 for the P.R in Sourcing Cockpit, cancelling/reduction will not have a updation in the sourcing cockpit in SRM.
    Eg  100 nos P.R is in SRM sourcing cockpit for which  you have createdaa P.O for 40 nos is ECC6.0
    for the remaining 60 nos PR ,you can create a P.O in ECC6.0

  • Question about ERMS push

    Hi Guru,
    I am prototyping the ERMS push solution in CRM7 and have some questions about the solution SAP help provided.
    Below is the detail about ERMS push:
    Here the e-mail is first handled by the e-mail pull mechanism: it is converted into a
    SAPoffice mail and analyzed by ERMS to find out more details about the mail (like language and certain keywords).
    Then the mail (including the additional information from the ERMS analysis) is transferred to the
    CMS (Communication Management Software). The CMS determines the appropriate agent team and
    dispatches the mail via the push process to an available agent of that team.
    Below is the sap help link:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/EN/0e/6a22b86821468691bd5abb51dfd81e/content.htm
    I have below questions about the solution in the help link:
    1. It mentioned about the email profile (set the agent inbox as email provider) and I changed the u201Cdefaultu201D profile delivered by sap. I setup the rule policy according to the help and assigned it in the service manager profile. The purpose of ERMS push is to push email to CMS instead of sending to agent inbox using ERMS. Which business role should this email profile be assigned to? Is it IC_agent?
    2. The help also mentioned about setup u201CERMS_ACTIONu201D as communication system ID in CRMM_BCB_ADM. Does this ID need to be added in the CMS profile? If so, which business role should this CMS profile be assigned to? Is it IC_Agent?
    3. The ERMS uses workflow WS00200001. After the email is pushed to CMS, what status should the workflow be, in progress or complete? Also does it suppose to have agent assigned in the workflow task?
    4. After the CMS pushes the email back to CRM, it will be a pop up for agent to accept or reject. Will it create an interaction record once the agent clicks the accept?
    It would be great if you could shed some light on this.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello Zhijie,
    Let me see if I can help address some of your questions.
    1) It doesn't matter which business role you use. You can copy IC_AGENT for example. The important thing is, as Mariusz mentions in this thread, [ERMS email push: problem with CAD and transfer;,your E-Mail profile must be set for E-Mail Provider = 2 (Agent Inbox).
    2) No, this ID itself does not need to be added to any business role (as I assume it is hardcoded in the SAP workflow as Mariusz mentions).
    3) From what I remember, the ERMS Push emails are not set to complete by the system, and therefore can still get inadvertantly routed to agents! I recommend to have a second rule in your Rule Modeler policy to route the ERMS Push emails to a special, separate queue where you can close them out easily without worrying about them getting assigned to any agents!
    4) Yes, the email will arrive like a phone call with the accept/reject buttons flashing (though it will show as an email, not a phone call). And yes, when the agent accepts an Interaction Record will be created by the system automatically.
    I hope this helps you!
    Regards,
    John

    1) There is no limit currently.
    2) If you mean security groups, then yes
    3) Depends, how do you do that normally/what's the use case?
    4) I can install CPO (if machines already in place) in 10-15 minutes. If you throw target setup and configuration in there, maybe 45 minutes max, again all depends on the deployment
    If you have more specific questions, please open a TAC case with your support contract.

  • Several Questions about Aperture Problems

    Having used Aperture for some time, and being a Mac user since 1985, I have a list of questions about Aperture that I need help with.
    1. Periodically operating the sliders will make an image turn black. Sometimes this is early in a session, sometimes late. Various workarounds will bring the image back, but once this starts, quitting seems the only option. Can anyone help me with why this happens and how to stop it?
    2. About 20% of the RAW files from my supported camera display the Unsupported Image Format error screen. These files operate perfectly in the manufacturers software and in other image management software that does not use the OS RAW libraries. Can someone help me with the cause of this and the solution (not a "workaround" but a way to make it stop happening).
    3. ALL of my RAW files from my supported camera, when I try to lift metadata, return the error message that there is no metadata to lift. But in fact, the metadata inspector displays metadata. How can I stop this from happening and experience normal metadata lifting?
    4. When I use the DNG format from my supported camera, a great many EXIF fields do not display, such as lens data. Can someone help me with DNG files, since these never generate the UIF error screen (cf. #2 above) as the manufacturer's RAW files do. I'm forced to use DNGs to have all my shots, but the EXIF data is not fully displayed.
    5. Today I opened Aperture and no previews would display. Aperture froze while updating thumbnails. I'd not done any non-routine edits or imported any unusual files or formats. Aperture then would not quit. Is it safe to attempt to restart Aperture?
    6. At times Aperture slows to the point of not working at all. Long pauses simply in trying to enlarge the selection circles for redeye removal, for example. What would cause Aperture to slow down without warning at any point in the workflow? How can I experience a more consistent operating speed from Aperture.
    7. How do other image management programs like Lightroom compare on these points? Is Aperture typical or should I seek a change in my workflow, improvement in my hardware, or some adjustment in my installation?
    Info: MacBook Pro, 4 GB RAM (apple), 320 GB drive, 45 GB free on drive; library of 3800 images. Fewer than 12 projects.
    Thanks for your assistance.

    n #3. It looks like you're absolutely right on this. I went back and checked on photos I'd edited and there was the altered metadata. +Many thanks for dispelling that concern!+ I love being a happy camper. Check that one off the list!
    On 1, I've followed the black-screen issues and pretty much all we know is that a workaround exists--usually selecting the crop box restores the picture, but a lot of times it blacks out again. Having used Apple products over 25 years, all of which was in my adult professional life, I haven't seen Apple willing to just let users tolerate an irritating "workaround." I think this is something that needs fixing.
    On 6--I don't understand how the rotational speed would produce erratic performance issues. I can go a month of reasonable performance, and then suddenly things bog down. Also, if that is the reason, this really ought to be part of the System Requirements, or at least, a recommendation. Maybe it is already--I should check to be sure. I confess this is one aspect I had not thought about.
    Thanks so much for thinking about these. I love my Apple products and have owned almost every generation of Mac since the "Fat Mac" (512K RAM! 800Kb Floppies!) and hate to stare at the screen and think I've been given a truly poor product--not in my DNA--but these things break my heart.

  • Question about Tasklists

    I have a weird question about task lists.
    lets assume I created a task list for a user and enering values in to a data form is one of the task and promoting the planning unit is the next step.
    and assume the user has gone through the tasks and completed entering the values and promoted and marked the tasks as complete.
    Now, I am the reviewer and review the values and promoted it back to him to change a few values where I am not satisfied.
    How does the user knows if he has to re-enter the values again? but the tasks in that tasklist shows the tasks has been completed.
    I am missing something or assuming it wrong. Can some one give me a clear picture idea about it. Appreciate your help.
    TIA
    sai

    Hi,
    Users get notification e-mails in which they would see annotation from previous plan unit owner if there is any. They could then know that they have to re-enter/adjust/amend some of the values. As for task lists, I usually recommend to users not to use complete box as it using it leads the same confusion you fell into. Task list completion status does not certainly serve to the purpose very well, so better stay away...
    What I can tell about workflow is that with good training and sensible security configuration, workflow works almost perfectly in many places.
    Cheers,
