Store TV preview files as simple list

Hello to all,
I have problem with listed items - that is, it is shown in thumbnails, so I have dozens of pages to list to find proper file!!
Can I preview it as simple list??
As I can see, everyone has its question, none got its answer.:-/

I assume this is not possible but you can filter the multimedia files by media type.
Use the MEDIA TYPE button to filter audio, video or picture files.

"Premiere Pro stores the preview files in a folder you can specify" But how?

Specifying a Preview folder
On page 265 of the PDF it states:
Premiere Pro stores the preview files in a folder you can specify.
QUES 1
But how do you specify the folder? I just rendered a test clip and was not offered the option of specifying a folder. And there is no other mention of preview folders in the PDF.
Preview Files for Encoding
On the same page is:
Note: Adobe Media Encoder does not automatically use Premiere Pro preview files for encoding. To make use of the Premiere Pro preview files, you must select the Use Previews option in Adobe Media Encoder for each encoding process.
It is not clear from the PDF what is the quality of these preview files.
QUES 2
If I select the Use Previews option when exporting, aren't I degrading the quality of the export by encoding from an already encoded preview?
QUES 3
For the absolute best quality, should Use Previews be turned off?

Preview File location is determined in the overall Project Settings.
Set this location before you render any Preview Files.
Project > Project Settings > Scratch Disks...
Some documentation regarding the Scratch Disk location is buried here:
Specify scratch disks to improve system performance
QUES 2
If I select the Use Previews option when exporting, aren't I degrading the quality of the export by encoding from an already encoded preview?
In most (if not all) cases... yes.
Previews are intended for real-time playback in the Timeline only.
You should not use previews for export.*
QUES 3
For the absolute best quality, should Use Previews be turned off?
Yes!
*There are a few semi-obscure exceptions to this general rule.

How do I change the preview file location?

I have a SSD "C:" drive which is filling up, and I have other drives with lots of space and performance, so I'd like to move where SB stores the preview files (currently in "Adobe Soundbooth Preview Files") to a different drive.
I haven't seen anything in the SB config which allows me to do this, is there a way, and if so - what is it?
Thx!

(1) Open a new tab to about:config (type about:config in the Awesomebar and tap the go arrow or tap Enter)
(2) In the search box, type down and tap Enter
(3) Scroll down to browser.download.folderList and tap Modify, then change the value from 1 to 2 (from default always to last used folder). The change should appear after a few seconds.
(3) Scroll back up and tap the "Add a New Setting" button
(A) String is the correct type, so OK that
(B) The name of the preference should be browser.download.dir (this stores the last used directory)
(C) The value should be /sdcard/ followed by the folder name you want to use, for example, /sdcard/FxDown

ITunes Won't Play Music Files or Store (Music) Previews

Running iTunes 11.0.1.12 on Windows 7 Professional SP1 (Build 7601). Cannot play any of my music files in iTunes (local or from iCloud), nor does iTunes play any Store music preview. The time bar does not move from 00:00, and there's no sound (even if I manually move the progress indicator past 00:00.
It will play movies and TV shows. I've Googled the heck out of this issue and see no solution that works for me.
My sound (card and speakers) do work and are working.
Also, strangely, iTunes disappears from my status bar when minimized, and does not appear when shift-tabbing through open programs.

Thanks, Niel! That makes sense. I used to use itunes a lot on my old pc laptop. Hadn't really gotten around to using it much, if at all, on my macbook pro.
Much obliged,
S.

Need advice on how to import / store existing image files into LR etc.

Hi,
I am just beginning to use LR 2.3 and I want to start correctly....
I have been pondering how to begin and I was hoping some of you might point me in the right direction.
1. I have all of my RAW files on my Mac's desktop and they are organized at the top level by each of the 2 cameras they were taken with and then the sub folders of each organized chronologically with each subfolder titled by the location or subject of the images matter within each folder.
I want to import these into LightRoom 2.3 in a manner which will preserve this taxonomy. I also want to convert these RAW images into DNG files on import. How do I set up LR2 to do this?
2. I want the Lightroom files and the image files to live on my external Caldigit eSATA VR drive. This drive is actually 2 disks set to mirror as hardware RAID 1 so it is essence its own backup if one disk dies. How do I point LR to create and store the DNG files on this external drive and then set LR2 to back up so that the LR datafiles also live there? Would you say this is a good way to set this up or should the LR datafiles ( previews etc. live with LR on the OS drive??
Is RAID 1 as safe as backing up to 2 different HD's?
Is it best to convert to DNG ( I like the fact that any LR image data is stored with the DNG and is not a sidecar file which could get seperated) or convert to DNG with orginal RAW file incorporated? How massive do these get?
Is it best to use LR2's backup utility and exclude the LR data from the Time Machine backup?
Sory for the long question...

>1. I have all of my RAW files on my Mac's desktop and they are organized at the top level by each of the 2 cameras they were taken with and then the sub folders of each organized chronologically with each subfolder titled by the location or subject of the images matter within each folder.

>I also want to convert these RAW images into DNG files on import. How do I set up LR2 to do this?
On the Import Photos Screen, pick "Copy photos as Digital Negative(DNG) and add to catalog" from File Handling drop-down at top of screen.
If your photos are organised as:
Photos - Camera 1 ...
- Camera 2 ...
then Lightroom will reflect that folder view in its Folders panel. Also, when converting to DNG you get to choose destination folder (answers part of your question 2) and multiple organisation choices including "Organize by Original Folder"
(Take a look at Chapter 4 of the help file for more information: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Lightroom/2.0/lightroom_2_help.pdf)
2. I want the Lightoom files and the image files....
Create your catalog on that drive. Move your images to that drive before importing them, and when converting to DNG on import, choose a folder on that drive as destination on import screen.
>Is RAID 1 as safe as backing up to 2 different HD's?
No. RAID 1 is a simple mirror of 1 drive on another; so if you delete a file on drive, it is also deleted from both drives. Likewise, if a file is corrupted on one drive it will also be corrupted on the mirror. RAID 1 is good as a safeguard against single-drive failure; your data will be available from the remaining drive, but it is not a safeguard against user error or file corruption.

SSD for Media Cache and Preview files ...bad idea?

Hi guys!
Today I killed my 3rd SSD.I used both of them for store Media cache and preview files with Premiere Pro and After Effects CS5.5.
1st was OCZ Vertex 3 240GB than I replaced to a new one.After few weeks later the 2nd OCZ Vertex 3 dead.
And now Corsair Force 3 is gone.I dont worry because all of them still in warranty period, and I havebackup from my projects.
Just asking maybe these SSD-s is not stable for this thing? I mean often write and read datas?
Maybe better to replace to a simple HDD (maybe 10000rpm)?
Or just I was that lucky guy who catch 3 defected ssd-s in the last six months..:-(

No, I don't think that you killed them; the OCZ Vertex 3 series, and many other SSDs using the same Sandforce controller, are having way too many issues where Adobe is not being used at all.
Do check your firmware on these drives too; there have been lots of updates trying to make these seemingly seriously flawed drives work more reliably.

Jim

How print ADDRESSbook simple list? Everything prints scewd right &too long

I'd liike to print out a simple list of names, phone, addresses from my mac AddressBook. Can't I design the layout? Prints first left 1/3 column jjust phone number, center column just name, and all the other info squeezed at the riight margin with several fields that take up space verticle so I can only print sometiimes maybe 4-6 names a page. If i had a lot of notes in the person's 'NOTES' section of their AddressBook page, it will print out everything, even a couple pages. How not print thhat? I want a simple abbbreviated, short list to carry with at least 10-14 names, address,phone,email, etc on each page.
I'mm sure the annswer is around here somewhere, iif only i knew where.
Thanking you foor your help and time.

Hi thelnukus,
Are you saying that you see the list correctly but it is printing in a vertical format albeit somewhat skewed?
I'm not an expert with printing the Address Book in "list" form but have you tried creating a PDF first and then printing that? You do know that you can select/deselect what you wish to include in the list from the "attributes" pane?
My method for printing a list is this:
1. Open Address Book
2. Select in the "Names" column the names that I wish to print a list of.
3. File Menu>Print
4. Select/deselect addresses/email etc. from the attributes pane that you do not wish to include in
the list.
5. Select other features I want such as Font size (regular/large) from the pop up.
6. Select Print (or if that does not work select Save as PDF and then print that).
post back if this doesn't help and try to explain what you are seeing exactly.

"Adobe Adobe Media Encoder Preview Files" folder full ?

Hello,
I'm on latest version of both Premiere and Media Encoder, I'm working on PC/7 (64bits)/i7/Cuda,
What is "Adobe Adobe Media Encoder Preview Files" folder ?
C:\Users\XXXXX\Documents\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\Adobe Adobe Media Encoder Preview Files\7.PRV
How to purge it NOT manually ? Why is it created ? How to deplace it or remove it ?
I've plenty of videos into my batch, and as soon as this folder is full, it's not exporting anymore. Even if all the old previewes are used and exported, they are not removed or automaticly deleted.
I've tried to move this folder of my D: through adobe media encoder preferences... impossible to find its reference somewhere.
If you have any idea, thanks a lot

Bonjour,
je suis sous la dernière version de Media Encoder CC 7.2.2.29 (je suis abonné au Cloud) et j'exporte via file d'attente sous premiere CC.
J'ai le dossier suivant :
C:\Users\XXXXX\Documents\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\Adobe Adobe Media Encoder Preview Files\7.PRV
qui s'engorge et ne se vide jamais, et donc sature mon disque dur OS et software sous C:
Je n'arrive pas à délocaliser ce dossier, via les préférences de Media Encoder par exemple.
D'ailleurs, je me demande même le pourquoi de son existence, et encore plus, pourquoi ne se vide-t-il pas lui même lorsque l'exportation est finie.
J'ai un batch de vidéos énorme à exporter, du coup, il sature le C: et du coup, je me lève le matin et seulement la moitié de mes exportations sont faites. Sympa pour mes deadlines.
A noter que :
- via les préférences de media encoder, j'ai désactivé les previews (la petite fenêtre qui permet de voir l'évolution et progression de la vidéo sous encoder), ça change rien.
- ce dossier ne se remplit évidemment pas, lorsque j'exporte directement via Premiere, sans passer par la liste d'attente de media encoder ("exporter" et non "file d'attente" donc.)
- je coche systématiquement sous premiere "rendu à la résolution maximale", "utiliser la qualité de rendu maximal" (jamais compris le pourquoi de ces deux trucs d'ailleurs, j'ai jamais l'impression que ça changeait un truc) et "utilisez les prévisualisations" (qui sont déjà rendues en vert, évidemment)
Merci pour vos lumières !

Does the new firefox work when previewing files from Dreamweaver?

I use Dreamweaver CS3. I always preview my pages that I build in Firefox. After just downloading the newest firefox version (3.6.10), I could no longer preview files in Dreamweaver. When I go to preview the file, it just opens a firefox the application, not my webpage within firefox. Any ideas? I even edited my browser list within Firefox, removing Firefox as one of my browser options and replacing it again.

Dreamweaver CS3 doesn't work correctly in any Firefox 3.6 version.
There is a fix for Dreamweaver, so it works in Firefox 3.6+ versions:

There is a $5.00 fee for that Dreamweaver fix. That website and the fix are not associated with Mozilla in any manner. Support for that fix is provided by that that website via email.

How to store really important files on a Time Capsule

I'm wondering whether it is wise to store really important files on a Time Capsule (apart from Time Machine) because its hard disk is non-removable and non-replaceable and there is no mirrored backup. One could lose everything in the blink of an eye.
What workarounds are there? The TC is a brilliantly simple device, but it seems to have many limitations as well.

i think you already answered your own question
and there is no mirrored backup.
well, there is the archive feature ...
What workarounds are there?
personally, in addition to TM backups to my TC, i use a couple of external firewire drives, each partitioned in two, and bootably clone my Mac's startup disks to those on a weekly basis.
week 1 / drive X = MBP to partition A and Mini to partition B
week 2 / drive Y = MBP to partition C and Mini to partition D
week 3 and so forth = start over.
using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper, you could even incrementally clone your internal drives, which saves a lot of time.
happy computing !

Mail autofill list /where is the file for this list

I want backup the file of the autofill list on mail new message sender
Where is this list ?
in French :
Je veux faire la suvegarde du fichier de la liste "remplissage automatique" des courriels dans mail quand j'écrit un nouveau message
Thank's

The Mail application's autofill feature pulls from the Address Book and the list of Previous Recipients in Mail. Mail stores all message recipients in a list of Previous Recipients but the data for this list is stored in the primary Address Book data file.
At the Mail.app menu bar, go to Window and select Previous Recipients. A previous recipient already entered in the Address Book will have a vCard icon to the left of the name or email address. You can remove a previous recipient from the list or add a previous recipient to the Address Book but there is not an available function for exporting the list of Previous Recipients.
Using the Address Book Backup feature should also backup the list of Previous Recipients in Mail but I'm not sure.

How to set directory for preview files?

I have my Media Cache folders set to an external hard drive, but Premiere Pro still continues to create hundreds of rendered preview files in the default location of Users/username/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/8.0/Adobe Premiere Preview Files, filling up my main disk and then crashing when it gets full. Is the preview file folder a separate setting somewhere?
Mac Pro 5,1, OSX 10.9.4

I am having a problem with this as well since installing 8.0. PP 7.2.2 and previous versions did not have this issue.
When I set the Media Cache preferences to store all cache on an external hard drive it will in fact do so with the exception of IMS files which it still puts in the default of C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache Files.
Win 7 Pro
PP CC 2014
2014.0.1 / 8.0.1

Preview file rendering halfs the resolution

Hi,
I have a problem with Premiere Pro preview files: their horizontal resolution is only half of the set resolution. This is seen in the Program window both when playing back and stopped (playback resolution and paused resolution are both Full). If the clip hasn't been rendered for preview, the resolution is full. Just when rendering the preview, the horizontal resolution gets half. I'm using Apple ProRes as te preview codec (I do not want to use MPEG for its bad quality). Why is this happening? I need to have the full resolution for playback with ProRes codec, but how can I get the full resolution? Please, help!
My Sequence Settings are (for instance):
Settings
Editing Mode: Custom
Timebase: 25.00 frames/second
Video
Frame Size: 1920 x 1080 16:9
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels (1.0)
Fields: No Fields (Progressive Scan)
Display Format: 25fps Timecode
Audio
Sample Rate 48000 Hz
Display Format: Audio Samples
Video Previews
Preview File Format: QuickTime (Desktop) / (GammaCorrection: Automatic)
Codec: Apple ProRes 422
Width: 1920
Height: 1080
Maximum Bit Depth (not checked) Maximum Render Quality (not checked)

It looks to me like an "aliasing" problem. I am suggesting you search ( google, speak to other users using the same workflow you are, etc. ) about " aliasing " problems with your display of rendered pro res 422 files. If you focus on 'aliasing' issue, instead of calling it half resolution and so on, it probably will address your problem faster because people with that problem will know what you mean.
I posted this earlier and gives a hint what I am referring to.
http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/2/1007725
I am wondering if in the render of the source ( pro res 422 render ) you are losing that color information indicated by the " 2 ". As you dont experience problem using animation and pro res 444, that is my guess.. that you are losing the color info...hence the problem of aliasing.
What blows my mind though , is that you don't see the aliasing when you go to AE with the same rendered file. That is just downright weird.
I don't know if you want to actually solve the problem ( find out why this is happening really )... or if you are just fixated on blaming the software for something you want to work differently. I think solving the problem may involve doing some more steps on your part. For example, have you taken the rendered file ( or ftp to someone etc ) to another computer like yours... to see if they also see the same thing ?
If they don't see the same thing, if it is OK on their computer, then maybe it's your graphic card or graphic card 'settings' causing the problem.
Have you spoken to anyone at an apple store about this ? They may have heard of this problem from other users... and if you have a store nearby, you can take the rendered file there and see if it looks OK on their computer.
I do wish you luck finding out whats going on, and am personally interested in what you find out ( which is why I keep looking at this thread ). I know lots of people who use pro res and also use it on motion picture 'sets' while shooting... at the DIT station or at video playback, to look at basic playbacks ( usually with some basic color correction etc , like rec709 or whatever )...So what you want to do is actually being done, but I just moved to MN from nyc and dont work in movie biz anymore and dont want to get involved with hooking you up via ftp to some local 600 people.
First step I think is for you to keep an open mind and start dealing with the aliasing issue and try to see if others see the same thing on similar machine as yours.
Or else think of some other way to solve the problem... cause nobody else I know has ever seen this or I would have heard of it I think.
Also, this is a users forum, not adobe technical support... have you called them ? So please be patient with users here trying to help you, as we are just people who try to help when we can and don't work for adobe.
Thanks and good luck, and please let us know what you find out cause this problem is very weird.

Preview files

Hi. A couple of things with previews.
Is it normal to have a 1 folder with 1 file in it for every preview in the preview directory ? If you delete images does the preview file and folder get removed also. I seem to have more preview folders than images. Some of the preview folders are empty.
Also I notice that when I go to folders in Library and select all pictures then scroll down the list the thumbnails seem to be blurred at first and the 3 little white dots appear as if Lightroom is re-rendering the images.
I thought that once it did them the first time it would not do them again unless the image changed.
As a new user moving from Elements 4 I am trying to get a grasp of how Lightroom is organized so any info much appreciated.
OS is Windows with SP2.

"And, the previews are cached, but you'll still see the three dots for a moment as you scroll, but if they're cached they should all go away a whole screen at a time. "
This constant rendering of thumbnails and previews is the strangest thing about LR. I have a pretty fast computer running XP Pro SP2, 3ghz dual core with 4GB fast RAM, great video card, Matrox P650 128mb and fast SATA 10,000rpm hard drives, optimized in every way recommended by Adobe and it will not stop rendering thumbnails or previews. I render standard size previews (1680) upon import and render 1:1 previews after import.
I only have about 11k images in my library, mixed JPG and Canon RAW, and I simply cannot browse my images with anything like reasonable speed. LR is the slowest image viewer I have ever tried. Free stuff like Picasa is way faster and so is cheap stuff like ACDC. I mean way, way faster.
If I show LR a big group of pictures, say 2-3,000 images, it slowly renders the thumbnails as I scroll down screen by screen. The white dots appear for a whole screen, then disappear one by one, not a whole screen at a time. Finally, after the white dots disappear the thumbnail is sharp. If I scroll down say 5 screens of images, then reverse direction, the thumbnails re-render as I go back up the list of files! The 3 white dots reappear even though those thumbnails just rendered 15 seconds before! What in the world is going on? If I try to browse images in Fit or Fill or 1:1 size, the performance is even slower.
Since my computer flies through images, thumbnail and preview, with every other photo program I have tried, I have to think that LR is the problem.
