Sub Dividing BIG Library into Small Ones..Scared to erase.

I have a single 3tb Library after updating to 10.1
Im trying to now sort into smaller libraries.... Iv created new ones and MOVED Events and Projects into these libraries.
( I TICKED ON ...  Move Proxy and Optimized data.)
Its still saying that the original Library is close to 3tb.?
Im scared to erase this in case its the originall files....
Ant thoughts.? much appreicated.

It is probably there, but you are right to try before you erase stuff!
Close the big library, and use FCP X with only the new libraries open, and make sure everything is there.
As a side note: optimized media is usually what uses most drive space; often you don't need it, and you almost certainly don't need to have both optimized and proxy media at the same time. In your situation, I would have chosen NOT to move (or copy) the optimized and proxy. It can be recreated when - and if - needed.

  • Dividing an enormous library into smaller ones

    My iTunes library is 650GB and growing. (all my own CDs but going the modern route). I think it's beginning to be a problem when loading as a shared library and also with iPhone's SimplifyMedia gathering it's information.
    I'm thinking of separating out to genre specific individual libraries. I can call up a specific genre; opera, for example - but then what do I do to make that a separate library?
    Another useful answer might be: is it detrimental in other ways, other than time to load, to maintain one library that large? (these are Apple Lossless quality)
    much appreciation in advance. Thanks.

    If you need everything to be sequenced as a single video, you
    can load the video using netStream, set the buffer time, and allow
    Flash to stream the video. You "could" place 2 loader components on
    the stage with instance names of cpLoader1 and cpLoader2, have the
    first part of the video load into cpLoader1 while making
    cpLoader2._visible=false. After the first part of the video has
    completely loaded into Flash, you can begin the loading of the 2nd
    part of the video into cpLoader2. Since it's invisible right now,
    nothing will show. Use script to determine when playback on the
    first video is complete, make cpLoader2._visible=true, then start
    playing video 2 while making cpLoader1._visible=false. After video
    2 has completely loaded, begin loading the 3rd part of the video
    into cpLoader1, and so on. By doing this, you may experience a
    little jump in between the end of a video and the beginning of
    another, but this really can't be helped because you are relying on
    Flash to seamlessly end and begin videos within 1 frame.
    Search in Flash's help files or look online for more on
    netStream.

  • Dividing long files into smaller ones

    I am using Adobe Premiere Elements 12 on a windows 8 PC. I've been trying to transfer old VHS tapes to several DVDs. My real problem is separating the large contiguous video files into several smaller files to be arranged on several dvds. How do I do that? I know how to cut the videos into several clips, but not files. The original VHS tapes have 3-4 hours on each tape so that doesn't directly translate to available DVD space.

    MacGyver82dan
    Just in case note, you cannot import one Premiere Elements project file (.prel) into another.
    So if you already have several project files, each with its own group of files and want to combine them into one grand project for a DVD (DVD-VIDEO or AVCHD), then you are going to have to export the contents of each project prel and import the exports into one grand project.
    The export from a given project.prel can be for the entire Timeline or for selected portions of it. But the only way out of the project is via export. In this situation the export settings for the individual project files should be consistent with the settings for the grand project which will generate the end product.
    To export a segment of a Timeline content within one of these project files, two essentials
    a. the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar must be set to span the segment for export
    and
    b. the option "Share Work Area Bar Only" in the export settings must have a check mark next to it.
    When your Premiere Elements is running on a Windows computer, there is an opportunity for a copy/paste insert between projects.
    Please review the details of that if that sounds of interest.

  • How To Divide Source File Into Smaller Files Without Exporting?

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm a beginner with PPro CS4 and to video editing in general. I've done a lot of Googling and searching of these forums to get an answer to this question, but I haven't found a clear answer. Here's my problem:
    I have many hours of HDV footage shot over the past few years with a Canon HV30. This footage is on dozens of DV tape cassettes. I want to capture most of it to disk.
    When I capture a tape to disk, I get a single large mpeg4 file. (PPro captures all HDV footage to mpeg4.) "Scene select" doesn't work with the HV30, so my only other way to make smaller capture files would be to set In/Out points with batch capture. But this would mean hours of fast-forwarding and reversing with the VCR-like controls on the camera to review all the tapes and set the points. I thought it might be FASTER to simply capture an entire tape in one operation, THEN review the captured tape within PPro (it's much faster using the scrubber), and dividing that file into smaller files within PPro, thereby avoiding all the mechanical fast-forwarding and rewinding on the camera itself.
    But the only way I can find to do this seems to involve EXPORTING clips. Am I wrong to think that exporting a clip to a new file involves a degradation of the original mpeg4 source file? Or will there be no loss to the quality if I simply export to mpeg4 format?
    It seems there should be an easy way to simply divide the original capture into smaller source files for later editing, without putting the footage through another generation of processing (exporting), which might entail some loss of quality. Or am I wrong about this?
    (CS4 Master Suite, i7 3630k, 16GB RAM, C: 256GB SSD, D: 1T Setpoint F3, E: 1T Setpoint F3)

    HDV footage is mpeg2 (whats in a number ). CS4 does not do scene detect you need to use HDV split for that.
    http://strony.aster.pl/paviko/hdvsplit.htm.
    You can run your already captured files through hdv split and it will chop the file into clips and off you go.

  • Dividing large files into smaller units

    As the Disability Services officer for a small state college, I obtain textbooks in PDF format for some students. With a software package, I can convert PDFs into mp3 files so students can hear as well as read their texts. However, occasionally I receive the entire textbook in one file, which is too large for our conversion program to handle. I would like to know if there is a convenient way (free would be good, too!) to divide an entire-text file into smaller chapter-by-chapter files.
    Thanks!

    Good day,
    Depending on the security settings applied to the PDF text books you're receiving, you may be able to use Adobe Acrobat to divide the PDF files into smaller, more managable files that you can process through your conversion program.  We offer a 30-day trial of Adobe Acrobat X Professional for Windows here: http://www.adobe.com/go/tryacrobatpro/
    As you're working for an educational institution, you may also qualify for our Student & Teacher Edition pricing. 
    I hope this helps!

  • How to create a pdf file where big (spread) images are tiled into small ones?

    Hi,
    How do I create such (as in subject) file? I read on the net that people compain about such issue sometime occur in their export. I've to confess, I'm no expert in publishing and my friend help with creation of presentation file and I want to emulate this option as a sort of security measure, to discourage people from extracting images from my file.

    While I haven't exactly managed to find the answer to my question, I've found a workaround that gives me the look that I want.
    Instead of adding the 'parchment' background in Adobe Acrobat, I already add the background (as a Watermark) in the original Word 2010.  Although I think the images still get flattened, they get flattened into the parchment background so it doesn't actually matter.
    Solved now!

  • Captured clips automatically broken into smaller ones

    When I import a clip and save it, and then go to finder to watch was was saved, it is broken up into many smaller clips. Why does this happen? Before it starts to record, I give it a specific title and location, record what I need, and then hit "done". It saves the clip. But when I open it, it is chopped into multiple clips. = (

    How can I know which of those errors it is, if any?
    Usually it is just "hit or miss" trial and error testing. I have one drive that has never worked for captures as it will not maintain a constant speed. And, although I have had the drive analyzed and reported to the manufacturer that the drive was defective, the manufacturer refused to honor their warranty and so I have never purchased and drive from them but used the drive to temporary copy of content which it can handle. Another drive as a "weak" sector that will pass most write tests but usually won't capture a movie about 12 minutes into the disk when newly formatted but will capture correctly from that point onward. For instance, if you are capturing to an external drive and have a spare drive hand, try switching to the alternate drive as see if you have the same problem. If the problem occurs to one drive but not another, then it is likely the drive. If you re-use old tapes for recoding, try a new one instead and see if it has the same problem. (I normally keep the tape as the archive and so don't normally re-use them.) Basically, you just try to eliminate possibilities as your can.
    I am using a brand new minDV tape, new imovie and imac, good camera.
    I would try to eliminate the application as being the cause of the problem first. Try importing into iMovie '06 or using Vidi (free) instead. If one or more other applications work, then simply use them to "capture" your content and then import the captured files into iMovie '08.
    I went to preferences and cahnged where it says "clicking in events browser selects 4.os.
    This option merely allows a user selected, fixed duration of content to be selected from an event clip when mouse-clicked. It has nothing to do with imports.
    A short 2-3 minute clip shoes up as 7-8 smaller clips in my iMovie folder, and 10 different squares in the iMovie timeline. What's going on?
    As was already stated, iMovie '08 is seeing the camcorder content as separate or interrupted files as it is being imported and and stores them as extra files. You can always treat them as separate files and move them into your project separately or you can sequence them as a single file using either QT Pro ($30) or MPEG Streamclip (free) or you can find the source of the problem (if you can) and eliminate it.

  • Last ipod died and need to synch that ipod library into new one....

    My ipod just died (after only a year and 2 months) and I am getting a new one. I am wondering if there is a memory card in ipods that easily syncs to a new ipod?? The computer in which I had all my songs stored recently crashed so the only itunes memory I have is in the, now dead, ipod. Is syncing the old ipod library to the new one something they can do at the apple store when you get a new ipod? any feedback would be appreciated...

    "well, I know that if you have your ipod show up in my computer, you can change the folder options to show hidden files, and then there is a folder called music that shows up. However, those files do not show up with the artist, album or song information. But I'm pretty sure you can still just drag that music folder to your desktop then run it through some sort of freeware to restore the info."
    You don't need software, just drag the music folder into iTunes as explained here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.

  • How to divide the waveform into small pieces (which have different lengths)

    I have a long waveform which is just a combination of a waveform + 0 + another waveform + 0 +...I would like to have small pieces of the long waveform.  The problem is I cannot think of anyway to detect the 0 in order to seperate them.  Any hint would be appreciated.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    How are the zero segments generated? Are they exactly zero or average zero but with some noise? Do you know the length of the zero segments? Is it always the same? Do any of the waveforms have segments where the real data is zero, and, if so, how long can those segments be?
    My first thought is to use In Range & Coerce with limits just slightly above and below zero. The check the length of any set of samples not In Range.

  • Imported iPhoto library into Aperture - one problem so far

    Why are all the pictures that I imported that had been edited in iPhoto using PSE8 shown as blurry globs instead of being sharp?

    I had a similar experience when I recently got Aperture. Then I noticed "processing" down at the bottom of the screen. Evidently, Aperture has to process all the pictures, but eventually, they'll all be sharp as they were before--mine are now.
    If you double click on a picture, you will immediately see it as a sharper image.
    The larger your photo library, the longer it will take for the pictures to clear up.

  • TS3276 I have a group of 114 members. is there a limit to the number of emails I can send from a group? If I choose this group it only seems to send to some of the people in the group. do I need to divide the group into smaller segments?

    I have a group with114 member. Is there a limit to the number of members I can email at one time. do I need to make subgroups so everyone gets the information?

    I'm not aware of any limitation in Mail, but many email providers have a limit on the number of addressees to help prevent spam. You might ask your email provider if they have a limit on how many addresses you can have in a single message.

  • Big files into smaller chunks to process them til EOF

    Hello,
    I have a file that is about 10,000 (+ or - 500) which I want to process them by about 2500 lines at a time. I am reading each line by line and stroing them in object to update the database. The reason I am doing this is beacuse I get aan OutOfMemoryError Does anyone have ideas?? if you do can you kinda give me an idea how i can write it since i am new to the java.
    Thanks
    Here are the basic concept of the code that i am using
    while ( line != null )<--will access each line of the file
    processLines();<- process the files accordingly

    The answer to your question
    try {
      String line = "";
      BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("filename"));
      while (line != null) {
        for (int i = 0;i < 2500 && line != null;i++)
          parseLine(line);
          line = in.readLine();
        doDatabaseStuff()
    } catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    }Although it answers your question, it does not solve the real problem, which is why are you getting an out of memory exception. Unless you working on a machine with 8MB RAMM, I don't see how reading in a 10,000 line file will cause this. Java will try to use 64MB at most of RAMM, unless you specify more. I think the real issue has to do with what you are doing with the Strings once they are read in.

  • Best practice for dividing IPhoto library

    My wife and I have been using IPhoto since 2004, and are faced with the prospect of dividing the 40,000 photo library into smaller libraries. A Genius Bar session was only partially helpful. Last year we moved IPhoto off the IMac hard drive to an external harddrive. The Genius Bar employee created four new library folders on the external drive. We are thinking we need to get the IPhoto original library back on the IMac, so that it is accessible to ICloud. We are looking for a source of print guidance that can help us navigate these kinds of questions. We are also looking locally (in Tucson) for a coach who can help us get the logistics of library development started.

    Why do you thing you need to divide the library into smaller ones?  The  latest version of iPhoto can handle libraries with up to 1 M photos.  There's no need to move the library back to the boot drive to have it accessable to iCloud.  iCloud works with the library that's active. 
    What do you mean by library development?  You have a working library on an EHD so that's all you need. This Apple document gives the system requirements for iCloud: iCloud: System requirements
