Splitting a Project

Is there a simple way to split a project into two?
Thanks in advance for any help!

The simplest way is to select the project name in the Project Library list on the left. Then Right-click/Duplicate. This will produce an identical copy of your project. You can then delete the half you don't need. etc.

How can I split a project. In iPhoto one could choose that option from the Events dropdown on the toolbar

How can I split a project? In iPhoto I could use the Event tab in the tool bar and there was an option to split the event but I can't find it on Apeture 3.

Hi Wayne. Aperture and iPhoto differ in many -- perhaps all -- ways. They were designed (afaict) with radically different users in mind.
To move images into a new Project, select them, then execute "File→New→Project" and check "Move selected items to new project".

During import, how to auto split one project into multiple albums based on date?

I believe I've done enough aperture reserach to get all my terminology right, so here goes...
I've created a file structure within the aperture inspector the the tune of:
Year [folder], Type of event (Occasion, special occasion, holiday, vacation) [folder], Project (Wedding), Album (i.e. Day 1, Day 2 or Pre wedding week, event, honeymoon).
I also have entire months with 7 or 8 pictures each day, that are of the same type/project (random dog pictures) but are distinctly different days (albums - day in park, in bed at night, watching movie).
My question is, can I import one project with multiple albums already created based on the date they're taken. As I can see it, all I can do is split individual projects automatically by date. But what if one project is over one month, but has multiple distinct days that would be ideal for albums? One more example. We did a trip to San Fran. One day was touring the city, one day was a concert, another day was touring the city. All one project, but 3 different albums (in my mind). I had to import as one project, then separately go in and make albums. I would like that done automatically.
My suspicion is that I can not natively do this within aperture, and that I would need something called an "applescript." I haven't done any reserach into that area, so if that's the case and you know where I can find a script that would do this, I'd appreciate the help.
Sorry for the wordiness, just wanted to be clear. Thanks for any and all help!

Hi,
You need to create a new requirement in tcode VOFM for that, together with your ABAP consultant. This requirement will be used in copy contol.

How do I split a project in IMovie into two projects? When I try to burn a DVD RDL in IDVD, it tells me the movie is too long.

I am running IMovie 8.0.6. (OS X Mavericks 10.9.5) How do I split a project into two projects? When I share it in Media Browser to IDVD, and try to burn a DVD- RDL, it keeps telling me the project is too long. Do I split it in IDVD and how do I do that?

AppleMan Thanks very much for the information, however I could't make it work. I followed your instructions to the letter, in fact I tried every which-way. I created a dedicated file into which I copied and pasted the project from "package contents" but it was still greyed out when I went to retrieve it. I also found that the file size was reduced to only a few Kb. Any further step-by-step instructions would be appreciated as I am obviously doing something wrong. Babowa It appears that in imovie everything has to be "finalised" before it can be used or shared elsewhere in the same way as a disk has to be to be played elsewhere. Funnily enough an MOV file I converted to Mp4 was not greyed out and I was able to import it.... an exercise I am not keen on because of resolution loss during conversion

I replied long before post 7, but my reply did not get posted...instead it remained unsent. I have been having computer Internet connection problems. I was able to recapture it from restore feature of posting. Below is what I wrote.
Thanks for the reply.
Just in case note....for a regular DVD player, granted it is important to have a video format that the player supports (namely DVD-VIDEO format); however, the other half of the consideration...the player needs to support the disc type (media type) that the video format is on. I do not know of a regular DVD player that supports DVD-VIDEO on a memory stick.
If you have recorded PAL 1080i (1920 x 1080 @ 25 interlaced frames per second), that interlaced video exists with Field Order: Upper Field First.
But, you end product DVD-VIDEO is characterized by Field Order: Lower Field First. If you run into this type of Field Order problem, then there are 2
possibilities to get that taken care of
a. Assuming that you are using Premiere Elements 11, 12, or 13....set the project preset (manually) to
PAL
Hard Disk, Flash Memory Camcorders
Full HD 1080i25
or
b. Import the source media using
PAL
AVCHD
Full HD1080i15
and then, for each Timeline 1080i, right click it, select Field Options from the pop up menu, and then select Reverse Field Dominance.
When you export to file, you lose the opportunity for menus. The only export to file with menus is found in the webDVD export which is
in reality a flash file with menus. That might be a consideration for playback through the web browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox.
If putting a file on a memory stick is a working possibility, you might want to look also at AVCHD.mp4 1920 x 1080p25, but all depends on the
support of the player.
Lots to think about. If you need clarification on any of the above, please do not hesitate to ask.

Best way to split 3D project with constantly moving cameras

I created a 1 minute project in which the camera travels between 3 sets, while there is an animated 2D background. The background consists of overlaying .psd files which move around. The camera sweeps each set and then zooms to the next. Within each set are .mov and .psd files with tons of keyframing (although not too many filters). I think I'm starting to hit the outer limits of my hardware. I have it set to render draft quality for now, and it's still functional. I'm wondering what would be the best way to split it into smaller files, yet retain smooth motion of the camera between sets? I still need to fine tune the duration of each set, so I'm a little hesitant to break it up a this point, but may need to do so anyway. Thanks in advance.

Ok, I did it. Project complete. It turned out that I did have enough RAM, just not enough to RAM preview it all. I did flatten quite a bit of it prior to the camera moves. And an additional challenge was when I wanted to add a 5 second clip at the beginning. I wound up adding a second camera because all my timing was thrown off.
Anyway, here's a link to the final video.

Hey Bogie, I was thinking of starting a separate thread in the FCP or Compressor forums with recommended encodes for getting this monster of a file on the web. I tried several iterations and finally found one that both looked good, was big enough to watch, and small enough to load quickly. Does it make sense to start a new thread for which I already have the answer?

Is there a way to split a project?

I have made a project that contains my movie, my slideshow, and my blooper section all in one project. However, now that I want to make a DVD out of all this, I would like to separate each of the sections so that on the DVD menu I can just have a Movie button, Slideshow button, and a Bloopers button rather than having to watch them all at once. However, when I try to import the movie into iDVD, the whole movie gets added as one movie, and I thought there was a way to split the movie, but I haven't discovered it yet. Anyone know of a remedy for this?

Duplicate the Project twice, then delete the appropriate sections from each copy so that you finish with 3 separate projects, each containing the relevant section.
To duplicate a project, in the Project Library view (not Edit view) click on the project then go to the menu and select File>Duplicate Project. Each time you duplicate, iMovie will use the same name as the original project but with a number appended - change the name as desired by clicking on the project to highlight it then clicking again so that the name is highlighted in light blue, then overtype with the new name.
If you prefer to keep the full original project intact in iMovie, duplicate it 3 times and use each duplicate for the 3 sections you require for iDVD.

How to auto split existing projects in Aperture 3?

Hi, I would like to batch split my existing projects in aperture 3 (latest version) so they're all split with one date of pictures in them, and I would also really like to name all of them by the date that the pictures were taken. Like for example, I have an album that's named "Album 1" and it has dates from July 24th-August 17, and I would like to have an individual album or project for every date, and also for the new split albums to be named by the date of the photos inside of it. How do I do this? Thank you!

Hi,
Sorry, I can't help you there - I suspect it may be an Applescript job, but don't know Applescript myself.
Thinking about it some more, you could do it sort-of manually by first creating a new Project then searching all Projects for images falling within a set date range. You then select all the images returned by that search and drag them to your new Project. Rename the Project accordingly, and rinse, lather, repeat.
This approach will be viable only if you have a limited number of images across not too big a date range. Trying this on a big collection will do your head in.
I understand what you want to do now, but still don't understand why.

How to split a project

I have a project I'm trying to burn with Idvd but it is too big and it would not burn it even using a double layer disc and changing the encoding setting on project info. is there a way in imovies to split my already edited project in two so I can burn it using two disc I don't want to re edit my project again.

Right click on your Project Name and select "Duplicate". You now have two identical copies of your project. Delete the first half from one. Delete the second half from the other.

How to split a "project" (movie) into two separate projects.

After converting two Hi-eight tapes into digital format for use with iMovie 10.0.3 (?), I created a movie called "Japan 1994" , complete with titles, imported still photos, etc. But it was over 2 hours long. (My wife considers any movie longer than 29 minutes 59 seconds as cruel and unusual punishment under the U.S. constitution). So I went to Imovie "Help" .....Hah!!!, surfed the web with my problem, with further frustration. So, I devised my own method:
1. Created two new (empty) movies, "Nihon 1" and "Nihon 2" (Nihon=Japan, in Japanese)
2. In "Japan 1994", found a convenient break point rougly half way through, shift selected several clips up to the half way point.
3. copied all of these at one time (command C)
4. Opened "Nihon 1" and pasted (command V) these clips into this project.
5. Repeated steps 2, 3, 4 for the second "half" (into "Nihon 2")
All of this produced two separate projects of around 1 hour each. Added appropriate titles at the beggining and end of each of the new movies.
Worked like a charm.
Hope this helps other users of iMoive 10. (whatever).

I have a sandwich. I have been searching how to split the sandwich but it seems you don't split a sandwich. Someone said look in a draw for a tool or something!
Wow.
There are lots of ways to do what you're asking besides what has been said. You can double click the clip in the Browser. Set In & Out points in the viewer and add the Clip to the sequence. No need to split or cut anything in the sequence.
You really need to learn a bit more before you continue cause this is a pre-noob question. I don't really know how to categorise it.

Aperture: Auto Split Photostream Project?

Hi All
I'm loving photostream and getting all my pics into my library, however at the end of the month I'm left with a folder full of pics which I like to split into events by date.
My question is... Is there any way to get the photostream folder to split into smaller folders by day automatically or faster than doing it manually? (i.e. June photostream folder into June 1, June 2, June 3, etc.)
This would save me a good hour a week, so any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

William writes:
"Photostream is Photostream. You can't split it."
That is incorrect.
You can in fact split Photo Stream events -- but it appears it can only be done from within iPhoto, not Aperture. While not convenient, this is not a problem because Aperture (3.3) and iPhoto (9.3) can open and manipulate the same libraries. (Apple's official documentation is here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5043)
If your Aperture and iPhoto apps have separate libraries (as would be expected, unless you've already "unified" them), you can temporarily open your Aperture library in iPhoto, split the Photo Stream events there, then point iPhoto back to its own library.
- Quit Aperture.
- Open iPhoto, and from the File menu, select Switch to Library to open your Aperture library or whichever library contains the Photo Stream Event(s) you wish to split. (See Apple's support pages, which I've linked above, for details on sharing libraries between iPhoto and Aperture.)
- Check your iPhoto preferences' General tab for "Autosplit into Events." Select the setting you want, and close the Preferenes window.
- In the main iPhoto window, with Events selected at the left, select the Photo Stream event (or events) you'd like to split (e.g., "Aug 2012 Photo Stream").
- Finally, from iPhoto's Events menu, select "Autosplit Selected Events."
Voila.
Quit iPhoto, then reopen the Aperture library from within Aperture. Your newly split events should now appears as (newly split) projects within Aperture.
NOTE: As far as I can tell, there's no "Autosplit" command in Aperture, which is unfortunate. Hence, this cumbersome workaround. If I'm mistaken, I invite the correction, as it'd be far more convenient to be able to do this directly within Aperture. Hopefully Apple will realize (or has realized) this omission and will correct it in a future Aperture update.

Split Project in two Projects

In one of my projects there are about 2000 pics made in two different countries. Because in Places view I always see both countries on the map, I decided to split the Project in two Projects - one for each country. How can I do this without losing the Places assignments? Thanks!

Each Image in your Library carries its own Places assignment. You can move any Image into any Project and it will retain its specific Places information.
All you need to do is select all of the Images you want to put in your new Project, and "File→New→Project" w. "Move selected items to new project" checked.
There are several ways to select the Images for just one or your two countries. If you need suggestions, post back (the best way depends a bit on your use of Places and other metadata).
Generally, users have found Aperture works better with Projects kept to fewer than 1,000 Images. This was the case when 3.0 first came out -- I haven't tested any later versions, as I stick with the generally recommended "One Project for each out-in-the-world Shoot" and I rarely bring back more than 500 exposures per shoot.
(For what it's worth -- the human world had a very different level of material sophistication -- Ansel Adams took 12 plates with him for a day's shooting expedition in Yosemite. Twelve shots for the day, including mis-takes.)

Splitting an iMovie project

Hello out there!
I have an iMovie project that is 8.38GB in size. I would like to burn it to a DVD but the DVD's will only hold 4.7GB. I tried to convert it to a Qtime movie but the quality was just not there. Is there a way to split the project down the middle in iMovie without using the click and drag every single clip to a new project method?
Thanks

How to create a DVD in iDVD6 without menu (there are several options):
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
3. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
4. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:

hope this helps!

Aperture 3 runs slow, should I split my library into more projects?

Aperture 3.4.5 is running very slow on my 2x 2.4 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon 5.1 Mac Pro. My Aperture library is 609 GB and I have it on a internal HD with 2.94 TB of room available. I have been using Aperture since it first came out but I have only made 7 Projects in all that time. I just add additional folders and albums inside of those 7 Projects. I'm looking for a way to speed up Aperture because it has slowed down to a crawl, for example, when selecting more than a few images everything stops and I get a spinning beach ball for up to a minute. This is new behavior for Aperture. I have tried all of the recommended fixes such as repair permissions, repair database and finally, I tried rebuild database. None of these has helped.
Somewhere I read that you needed to repair the database before you installed Aperture 3.0. I did not do this. That is the only thing I can think of that could be a cause of this, my hardware is more than adequate to use Aperture. I need suggestions...

Somewhere I read that you needed to repair the database before you installed Aperture 3.0.
If you repaired and rebuild your Aperture library since then, it should not matter.
. I have been using Aperture since it first came out but I have only made 7 Projects in all that time. I just add additional folders and albums inside of those 7 Projects.
I am concerned about that. Why only a few projects? Your projects must have more than several thousand images each. I found, that Aperture is slower, if the projects are very large and if I have many smart albums. Aperture becomes more responsive, if I split the projects and group the split projects inside a folder.

How full is your system drive? You only mention the space available on your second drive, not on your system drive.
When did this slowness start? After you imported new images or installed other software?
