Storing/Managing all the raw footage and all the completed videos

The iMovie '06 instructional video on the Apple pages mentioned that after we edit out our video and it is complete and ready to be viewed, we can upload it back into the camcorder so that from there the video may be viewed on a TV etc.
This reminds me of something that I thought about a while back and which has to do with keeping copies of our work. My thinking is to put the iMovies into my website but I CAN see my wanting to play it on my 50" TV.
Questions, then:
1. If you upload your finished video from the Mac back into your camcorder, then in fact you have a copy right there. So then, DO YOU STILL KEEP THE ORIGINAL CASSETTE OF RAW FOOTAGE AS BACKUP, JUST IN CASE?
2. In what order would I save to cassette etc if I would like to upload the video to my website AND keep the finished copy in a cassette in my closet as well as in my external hard drive? I ask because I recall earlier that at a certain point, one cannot do certain things with the video. I wish I could recall what I had read.
3. Here is what I would like to end up with:
a. The video on my website
b. The complete video in a cassette so that I could play it on TV if I decide to.
c. The complete video in my external hard drive.
d. And actually, WOULD you retain a cassette with all of the raw footage? Or in your external hard drive?
And the final question is:
HOW DO YOU ARRANGE ALL OF THESE BACKUPS AND COPIES IN YOUR EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE? I am foreseeing options that I can't answer.
For example, do I keep all raw footage in one category, and then all completed video in another category?
Or do I keep things divided up by the particular video itself? By that I mean, do you segregate your backups by all of the raw footage and finished video for TRIP TO ALBANIA, all raw footage and finished video for MARTY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY, all raw footage and finished video for GHOSTS IN THE GARAGE?
And that's just talking about the video clips that you keep INSIDE your computer.
Thank you for your thoughts.

Ohh and another thing!
to archive give the dvd_img or video -ts folder a
title, that way its easy to find it if you use as

Dear Kjolner.....
I'm afraid I am lost with your replies because the terminology in the answers are beyond my understanding. When you say that you save something to tape, do you mean, "back to that same small cassette"? I do not know what an .img file is. I am not clear on saving "small segments" on QT. I would not know how to do that, anyhow. I do not understand what a video -ts folder would be. <gulp> <<double gulp>>
I DO have Tiger and will buy the next one up when it seems safe to do so.
I recently bought a LaCie 500 gigabyte external hard drive to store everything and lighten up my iMac internal hard drive and make it faster. I had to buy that external HD because while attempting to upload my footage from my Sony digital video camera recorder DCR-TRV 11, my iMac sent up messages that I had insufficient space for the activity.. something to that effect.

I opened my iPhoto library today which was stored on an external hard drive and several of my videos now will not play at all. The weird thing is that each file shows a duration of 1 second and when I open them it just shows one frame. What the !&%$#@ Where did my original video files go?

Sounds like a good plan, you can never be to safe and having a second External HD is safer than one.
The only thing that I would do different, is setup the 3T as my TimeMachine Backup and then erase and move my Photos, Videos and perhaps even iTunes Media to the 1T. That way you will have room to backup both the Internal Hard Drive and the 1T External Hard Drive to the 3T using TimeMachine.
Take your time, study and use the > Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions if you get stuck or aren't sure how to make the move.

Application based on JMF does not load the complete Video

Hi folks!
I programmed a small application using the JMF. Among other things, this application should load an play video files. But it does not load big video files completly.
One of my video files (MJPG, 720x576, FrameRate=25.0, Length=999424 28 extra bytes) is 10 minutes long and is pretty huge. It takes 2,1 gigabyte disk space.
My application loads and plays only 5 minutes of this video. But the VLC media player, windows media player and other video player does play the complete video.
However, the JMStudio has the same problem.
Any ideas?
I'm looking forward to your replies!

It's taken quite a long time for me to get a resolution. I have a feeling each situation is unique. I tried many of the solutions offered both in this forum and in other ones found online, including Flashplayer forums.
It didn't make sense that I can view videos from virtually everywhere but I could not from Fox News and CBS. Something was in conflict but I couldn't figure out what.
It turns out I had an issue with Doubleclick.net. In Internet Options - Security - Trusted Sites - Sites is where you need to go. If you find this is a restricted site - remove it. In my case, it was not there but I added the following to my trusted sites - https://*.Doubleclick.net and low and behold all is well. I watched a number of Foxnews videos and I finally got to see CSI from CBS online.
How this happened I'm not sure but sometime ago, I had this crazy notion of opting out of advertising via AOL. A number of email accounts are through AOL and I suspect something got corrupted as a result.
I hope this can resolve this issue for some of you who have this problem but looking at internet options via your control panel appears to be the least aggravating area to start!

Missing raw footage and storage from P2 card into FCPHD 5.1.2

OK.....so we are importing footage from the panasonic HVX200 P2 cards into FCP HD 5.1.2 and the system settings are config'd to an external drive. i am talking Scratch Capture, Autosave Vault, Thumbnail and Waveform Cache. Why and when would FCP store our source material in a place other than system settings......because we thought we lost some source material and in fact FCP put it somewhere else on its own....is this possible? has anyone experienced this or something similar?
thanks all in advance..
Eric

Where did it put them?
If you tell it that the capture scratch is the external drive, then the footage should be on that drive, in the CAPTURE SCRATCH folder, in the project name folder.

Software to tag and organize a growing raw footage library

Hi all: I am working on some projects and my group has an increasing amount of raw video footage. Are there software solutions that let me tag and catalogue my raw footage and also historical content that has been made digital? What is the best? I have a large amount of space on network drives available. Would it be better to have a large local FW or SATA drive? What solution would be best for a windows user to also be able to access the files over that network drive?
THanks for the info!

External Hard Drive for Raw footage?

Im sorry, this question has probobly been answered already but I'm just confused.
If I am editing a project in Premiere pro cs6 and I have all of my raw clips on an external drive (usb 3.0) and import them into premiere from the external drive will this slow down the editing process? I have a 120gb SSD and just want to use that for the OS and Applications, while having my raw clips/recompresed clips with the scratch disks all on the external drive? or will this slow premiere pro down? So basically will the external drive with usb 3.0 with my raw footage and scratch disks slow down premiere or will it just be fine?
(just switched from FCP) Any help would be appreciated!

Im not sure of the rpm, I looked in the manual and does not say anything about the rpm, but the drive is a Seagate 2tb goflex desk (STAC2000106). And no I have not benchmarked it yet but I might test it out soon.

Sony F5 RAW footage goes offline when switched to slog2

I am editing in Premiere Pro CC 2014, fully updated. I have a project with only Sony F5 RAW footage and some of the clips have gone offline when I opened the project this morning. Nothing has changed and it was working yesterday. I tried several things to no avail, and decided to just reimport the effected clips (which were indiscriminate across sequences and source locations). This worked fine, until I changed the source settings for the clips to slog2 and they immediately went offline again. Any idea what's going on? I would really rather not transcode everything.

Hi Gordon,
Could you send the project and that clip to us? We would like to have a deep look.
I'm sending you a PM.
Thanks,
Fran

Multiple Projects Using the Same Video Files

I have just completed a video that has upwards of 500 clips of source video in a single Bin. Now, I want to create two new videos using some of the previously used video footage in addition to video from other projects completed a couple of years ago. A few questions:
For new Video #2 (using some of the video from the exisiting Bin)
1. Can I just create a new Sequence and use some of the previosly used video clips? Will this affect the exisiting movie (ie take the clips offline?)
For new Video #3 (using some of the video from the exisiting Bin and video footage from other previosly completed videos)
2. Do I copy and paste the video file into a new project? Will this affect any of the previously completed movies by taking clips offline, etc?
Any help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

1. Yes. Creating a new Sequence is the proper way to do it. It will not affect the existing movie. It will not affect the underlying clips and will not take the clips offline.
2. Import the previously completed video(s) into your current project. Create a new sequence. Build your new video using the clips from your existing bin plus the clips you import. It will not affect the existing movie or the existing clips. It will not take the clips offline.
FCE is a nondestructive editor. That means that basically nothing you do while editing a sequence affects the underlying files on your hard drive. All the edits & effects, etc. are contained in the FCE project file.

I have a 27" iMac with 16GB of factory installed SDRAM and 1T harddrive. It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly. How can I adjust so that all files are managed on the harddrive rather than the SDRAM. (BTW - design flaw)

I have a 27" iMac with 16GB of factory installed SDRAM and 1T harddrive. It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly. How can I adjust so that all files are managed on the harddrive rather than the SDRAM. (BTW - design flaw here.)
Older Macs with a single Harddrive would simply expand OS management on the drive, and I think I understand the new Fusion Drive to do just that, but how do I get this product that I spent a great deal of money on to be more than a pretty screen?

I was confused by this statement
It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly.
OS X manages ram and when you run out, it create swapfiles to extend your ram on the HDD (Hard Disk Drive). The OS itself, takes about 16 gig of space and that too resides on the HDD. Your 16 gig of RAM is really a temporary space that holds things from the HDD so the processor can work on them. There is no design flaw between your ram and HDD. Something else is going on and there are a lot of smart people here to help you figure out what that "something else" is.
I would do three things. First I would create a backup, backups are important. Second, I would reboot into recovery and repair my HDD. Lastly while still booted in recovery I would repair permissions.
Can you capture a screen shot of the exact error you are getting?

EP7.0 - Adding server nodes (processes) and managing all the logs

First, can anyone confirm whether the Template Configuration Tool is used with Portal 7.0 (NW2004s)? All of the documentation I find is for Portal 6.0. If you use the Template Configuration Tool, it will match the resources available on your server to the type of J2EE you will be running which is the route I prefer to take. Otherwise, I'll add the nodes manually with configtool.
Second, is it a best practice to just stick to one server node (server0) on your DEV system? I would think that would make analyzing all of those fun logs much easier.
Third, are there any best practices for managing all of those logs if you start adding additional nodes. I have server0 on the QA system with 2048MB of Heap. I plan to add server1, server2 and server3 ... all with 2048MB of Heap. But then the number of logs is 4 times for everything. The Portal Tuning guide suggests turning off unnecessary logging which I will do but our developers want a convenient way to do research and we don't want them overwhelmed with logs.
We are setting up Solution Manager Diagnostics now so I haven't seen it's functionality. Will it make log anaysis more streamlined and easier to find relevant data even if you have 4 server nodes?

Hi Richard,
A1: NO!!! do not use the Template Configuration Tool on NW7.0 as it sets properties that are not valid or optimal anymore.
A2: I don't know if there is a best practice about it but I do know that it is best practice to have atleast 2 servernodes per instance because this helps you top optimize your resources when 1 servernode is in Full Garbage Collection the other still can use the CPU to process (Presented on SAP Insider Infra & Admin in Orlando 2008).
A3: Regarding the logging This is just how it is made... every servernode logs for itsself...
Use NetWeaver Administrator (/nwa) to auto consoldate the loggin info. It's slow but eventualy it does the job. You can give developers an NWA read-only role (shipped by default) to look at the logs.
A4: SMD makes central monitoring and diagnostic possible for your complete landscape.
You can configure a central NWA on the SMD host. The solution as proposed by A3 is already helping you to manage your issue (consolidating logs of multiple servernodes.. >2 )
Good Luck!

Lord K. Thank you. Yes I am within the 90 time period, however I travel Intertionally and I can not receive not make a call to Apple. I was just at the Genius Bar in Chicago and they said, don't worry about it. It just floats out there, however, I can not recover my messages on a flash drive. I need to go back to my old computer which I don't have with me. My messages were in folders for a lawsuit. It is going to take an incredible amount of work for me to, you have no Idea. We are talking thousands of pages! I the defendent will have them during discovery so I am not so worried. However, I can not bring them to him on a Flashdrive when I meet with him without an extraordinary amount of presssure on my part. THis is not just some little email issue.

Managing all the source and output files

We have built 100s of Captivate modules. Does anyone have a
recommendation on a good (reasonable $) digital asset management
system to manage all of this?

Hi again Scott
Ummm, okay. I'm still a bit at a loss as to what you are
looking for. I'm guessing you mean that you want some sort of a
system that would deal only with your source files. Only seen by
you or the development team?
On your initial post, I could see where you may have been
wanting something on either side. Either a way to manage many
different output files and present them as a cohesive whole to the
user. Or a way to manage the source content as you work with it.
So you aren't looking for source control per se, but
something more. Exactly what, we aren't sure. Perhaps try to
explain what you would like to see in such a system. Maybe if you
do that, someone here might see your list of desirable features and
recommend a system they have used before or are aware of that does
it.
Cheers... Rick

As an asset management tool it should manage all images but only adjust raw

Is Aperture an image management tool, raw converter/workflow tool, or both?
Let it be both! Restrict what is is ALLOWED to ADJUST, but manage it all.
When I do a shoot, I start out with 300-1000 RAW images.
By the time I am finished with the client I will have narrowed the pile of image assets down to 20% of the original RAW files, JPGs of all of those, AND 10% of the selected originals will also end up as layered PSD/TIFF files. But when I go back in and want to open a PSD file then why not allow just that Then save it back as the same or a version..
OR when I tell it to open a PSD file in CS2 it will as "make a version(full or flat), or edit original?" and of course a "don't ask me again for this format" check box!
So why not leave the layered PSD/TIFF files alone and NOT allow them to be adjusted, only managed?
Think about it, IF I want to adjust my multilayered PSD file I will most definitely only trust that to CS2 where I retain full creative control over the layers, and I can output a version if I want!
IF I am crazy enough to feel the need to use the shallow tools of Aperture to tweak the brightness/level/curves/saturation/WB/etc/etc of a flattened COPY of my layered PSD file then I will make a copy and drag it into Aperture. By shallow I mean that CS2 and layers has much more control than the single layer tools of Aperture.
As an option leave it open as a configuration choice in the prefs... "Adjustable image formats: RAW, JPG" and even on a per image basis, right-click--> image status-->Adjustable or Unadjustable.
Yes, I sent this idea off to Apple!

Moki,
Right there with you. Here's my rough scenario:
1. I shoot 500 RAWs.
2. Cull down to 100 keepers.
3. Client culls down to their 50 selects.
4. Anywhere from 25-50 become layered PSD files, depending on the presentation the client wants (sizes, packages, borders, special effects, etc.).
5. In addition to those 25, there may be *completely new* composites (PSD's) created from combinations of the 25 -- this isn't a version of one of the original masters -- it is a *completely new* image that Aperture needs to manage in the project (so import of PSD without flattening and/or allowing Photoshop to Save-As into the Aperture library is a must).
I'd even add to your request about allowing adjustments. It would be totally cool if the adjustment tools were context-sensitive, enabled when working with an image (like RAW or JPG) where Aperture can adjust, and disabled when working with an image (like layered PSD or TIFF) that it won't adjust.
Anyway, I have complete confidence that eventually, the RAW conversion will be fixed, so even though that's an immediate glaring issue, it doesn't seem to me to be the long-term workflow killer. Being able to traverse this editing stage of the workflow with Photoshop is crucial. Without this, its basically
a complete project export after the initial organization stage, and the rest of the workflow is either managed entirely in another tool, or a complete pain to bring back into Aperture for output, which leaves files strewn everywhere for backup and archiving.

Credential manager to see credentials stored for all users?

Is there a way to see and manage credentials stored for all users on a server (we use 2008 R2) rather than just the user who logs on and uses credential manager (or the cmdkey command)? We have users using three terminal servers and some of them store
incorrect creds (wrong username or password), so would be good for myself as domain admin, if I could go to the servers myself, and remove any credentials that OTHER users have stored.

Hi
The cached credential are stored in a special location in the registry. (an example there;
http://msitpros.com/?p=1029)
I doubt you can manipulate the string directly as it's encrypted (possibly "salted" with the user token), but maybe their is some workaround that I don't know of. (edited; to erase it's surelly easily doable)

No, iCloud does not handle 3rd party mail, and Google can already sync to all your devices without any help.
iCloud accounts are individual, there is no 'Family' account. Open an account for each user, each will have an iCloud address.
