Update project without duplicates?

How can i update a project consisting of the images in a folder on my hard disc and not duplicate the images already imported? This is a deadly flaw in the software as it will import the same image as many times as I will import it.
sorry if this is a repeat but I haven't seen an answer and I was hoping an Apple Genius might give me the answer.

Sure,
I created a new project named "2005" and imported a folder of images from my hard disc, also named "2005" into it. Later when I wanted to update the 2005 project from the 2005 folder I thought to drag and drop it onto the project, thinking that aperture would not import images already imported, but I was wrong, it imported them all again.
So it seems the only solution is to delete the project , create it again and import from the folder again.
is this not happening to others?

Can I update imovie without changing my projects in imovie that haven't been published?

Can I update imovie without changing my projects in imovie that haven't been published?

Jimmyalford,
I am having the same exact problem that you describe. Can't figure it out. I've got a really high speed signal, too. No luck.
GeeD, I do not have macKeeper installed. And I am running iMovie 10.0.2.
I hope someone can shed some light on this.
Thanks all....

Problems updating projects to new versions of Premiere (CS5 to CC and CC to CC 2014) Memory consumption during re-index and Offline MPEG Clips in CC 2014

I have 24GB of RAM in my 64 bit Windows 7 system running on RAID 5 with an i7 CPU.
A while ago I updated from Premiere CS5 to CC and then from Premiere CC to CC 2014. I updated all my then current projects to the new version as well.
Most of the projects contained 1080i 25fps (1080x1440 anamorphic) MPEG clips originally imported (captured from HDV tape) from a Sony HDV camera using Premiere CS5 or CC.
Memory consumption during re-indexing.
When updating projects I experienced frequent crashes going from CS5 to CC and later going from CC to CC 2014. Updating projects caused all clips in the project to be re-indexed. The crashes were due to the re-indexing process causing excessive RAM consumption and I had to re-open each project several times before the re-index would eventually complete successfully. This is despite using the setting to limit the RAM consumed by Premiere to much less than the 24GB RAM in my system.
I checked that clips played; there were no errors generated; no clips showed as Offline.
Some Clips now Offline:Importer CC 2014
Now, after some months editing one project I found some of the MPEG clips have been flagged as "Offline: Importer" and will not relink. The error reported is "An error occurred decompressing video or audio".
The same clips play perfectly well in, for example, Windows Media Player.
I still have the earlier Premiere CC and the project file and the clips that CC 2014 importer rejects are still OK in the Premiere CC version of the project.
It seems that the importer in CC 2014 has a bug that causes it to reject MPEG clips with which earlier versions of Premiere had no problem.
It's not the sort of problem expected with a premium product.
After this experience, I will not be updating premiere mid-project ever again.
How can I get these clips into CC 2014? I can't go back to the version of the project in Premiere CC without losing hours of work/edits in Premiere CC 2014.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

To answer my own question: I could find no answer to this myself and, with there being no replies in this forum, I have resorted to re-capturing the affected HDV tapes from scratch.
Luckily, I still had my HDV camera and the source tapes and had not already used any of the clips that became Offline in Premiere Pro CC 2014.
It seems clear that the MPEG importer in Premiere Pro CC 2014 rejects clips that Premiere Pro CC once accepted. It's a pretty horrible bug that ought to be fixed. Whether Adobe have a workaround or at least know about this issue and are working on it is unknown.
It also seems clear that the clip re-indexing process that occurs when upgrading a project (from CS5 to CC and also from CC to CC 2014) has a bug which causes memory consumption to grow continuously while it runs. I have 24GB RAM in my system and regardless of the amount RAM I allocated to Premiere Pro, it would eventually crash. Fortunately on restarting Premiere Pro and re-loading the project, re-indexing would resume where it left off, and, depending on the size of the project (number of clips to be indexed), after many repeated crashes and restarts re-indexing would eventually complete and the project would be OK after that.
It also seems clear that Adobe support isn't the greatest at recognising and responding when there are technical issues, publishing "known issues" (I could find no Adobe reference to either of these issues) or publishing workarounds. I logged the re-index issue as a bug and had zero response. Surely I am not the only one who has experienced these particular issues?
This is very poor support for what is supposed to be a premium product.
Lesson learned: I won't be upgrading Premiere again mid project after these experiences.

How to add 5.1 track without duplicate timelines?

To add a 5.1 track to my project I duplicate the movie timeline and change the stereo track for the 5.1. The problem is the program duplicate the capacity (3,50gb are now 7gb). I don't know if I can add the 5.1 as a second track in the same timeline to avoid the increasing in gb.
is possible to add the 5.1 in a second track of the movie timeline? and how can I link a button in the menu to link to the movie with this second 5.1 track?
If this isn't possible, how can I do a 5.1 option without duplicate the weight?
sorry my poor English!
Thanks

Jeff, if I have one timeline with two audio tracks (stereo and 5.1) and the video track. If I have two buttons, stereo and 5.1, how I link the button to the video track with it correct audio track avoiding the other? I need to link the button direct to the audio track and this link also include the video track?
Thanks for your help

Bug in 10.1: Updating projects from a folder tree

There's a bug when updating projects that are organized in a tree of folders under Final Cut Projects.
I had a bunch of projects organized under a subfolder under Final Cut Projects. After the update to a library, each project appeared under the subfolder under Updated Projects as expected. However, a duplicate of each project also appeared directly in the Updated Projects folder. When I tried to delete either of the duplicated projects, it erased its duplicated partner, leaving no trace of the project.
The only workaround is to make sure that all projects are situated on the same level under Final Cut Projects.

Hi !
I found out where the problem is. On startup Default setting is checked in this is problem. When you uncheck this option, encoding list is not repopulated. So you have force it (by closing Preferences window down and opening it again) and then it works. Coworker of mine disovered this quite accidentally. This should be fixed, by either populating list always, or repopulating list after option is checked. I suppose first option would be better.

Other ways to add shots to a project without using Reconform

I have a 15 minute movie that has a lot of filters, motion effects, and variable speeds. I tried to follow Walter Biscardi's tutorial here...
http://library.creativecow.net/articles/biscardi_walter/fromfcp2color.php
...exporting every clip that needs it as a quicktime and reimporting the "Baked" clip, but I unfortunately didn't get them all. On top of that, my Director came to me recently and told me about 3 changes he wanted.
I made the changes and exported the new changed sequence XML and tried to Reconform in Color but it freezes up and quits every time.
Is there any way for me to make these changes to the Color project without using Reconform? Any way I can manually replace or add shots to my Color project?
Thanks in advance.

Michael Sandness has better luck with Reconform than I do, in that it apparently works for him and it flat out doesn't work for me. Best advice is to work with your original sequence -- duplicate it, then TREAT THE DUPLICATE as your backup. Continue reconforming on the ORIGINAL, and export an XML that you use to reconform inside the original COLOR project.
Failing all that, don't add new clips to your original unless absolutely, pain of death, forced to do it (especially if its a locked XML sent to... FCP workflow). Instead create a new COLOR project, either by creating a new sequence with your revulsions, pardon me, revisions, and do cut and paste import/export of grades from the original COLOR project, or a whole new prject and directly import the clips. If you're not familiar with cross copying grades between projects, open the original project, save the grades that you want to copy into some easily accessible directory, save, close, open the new project, navigate to that directory, and drag/drop, click, whatever it takes.

How do i restore photo albums from time machine backups without duplicates?

how do i restore photo albums without duplicates from time machine backups? thx

Worth updating? Totally a personal decision. For some it would be. For others it would not?
Upgrading, if there are no problems, does not affect your data. And since bad things do happen you always have a good backup. Especially when doing any upgrade.
Your password question has nothing to do with iPhoto. Try it in the OS forum

IMovie 10 crashes when attempt to update projects and events of external HDs.

No way to update projects and events. Crash every time after few minutes of processing. Without external HD, works fine. To access older projects and work on it, the only way seems to be uninstal iMovie 10 and return to 9.

I do not have exactly the same issue, but iMovie 10 seems buggy as all get out and the alledged bugs cause the system to hang something fierce. There are a number of ways to trigger a crash, apparently, but it always proceeds the same way.
The screen - the display - goes all big pixelly and wonky. The computer becomes partially unresponsive. Controls in the apple menu at left end of menu bar work, so I can try some things. Relaunching finder does not help. Logging out does not help. Only shutdown and reboot clears the screen.
But after a few minutes of trying things in iMovie 10, it crashes again. The crash goes the same way each time, but it seems to be triggered by different things.
I have added screen shot - (hope I added a screen shot, anyway. ) Too bad. I think I like iMovie 10.

Cannot See 'Updated' projects in iMovie Library

Recently updated to iMovie 10.01 and then 10.02. Originally had the Updated Projects event and the Finalized Movies Event showing in the iMovie Library, but they are no longer there. I can 'see' them in the finder, looking at the iMovie and the show package contents....
Is there way to get iMovie to 'see' these events again?
PS: more info, this orginated while I was cleaning up some of my events and clips, putting them in the trash. I mistakenly put these in the trash, but hit the undo button and they seemed to reappear. Next opening of iMovie they were gone (but still in the finder as above).

Try to find them in your medialibrary. iMovie folder, your library, right mouse click - "open a contents package"

How can I export a comp or pre-comp to another AE project without having to rebuild or make a movie?

Can I export an AE comp or pre-comp to another AE project without having to rebuild or make a movie? In regard to tweaks or timing changes based on that projects' needs.

First, save the project in a different name. Delete out the comps & precomps you neither want nor need. Run AE's reduce project command to remove any unused footage, then save it again. Now you have a simplified project, which you can then import into any AE project you want.
If you like things nice & tidy, don't forget to use the replace layer (Alt-drag, Opt-drag) trick on any duplicated footage, using the footage from the project into which you import the simplified project. The alternative: just leave all the footage alone, and know you can't delete it.

Downloaded audio book on my iphone does not appear in itunes library and i cannot update iOS without transfering it to library

Downloaded audio book to my iphone does not appear in my itunes library and i cannot update iOS without transfering it to library

You should be able to copy it over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.
Audiobooks are a one-time only download from the store, so you may want to take a backup copy of it when you've copied it over to your computer

How to update software without wi-fi? It shows message that first connect to wi-fi then update even if I have 3G net on my phone i5.

Hi Parmkshinde,
Here's why you should use Wifi to do a wireless software update:
While you'd be able to download an update over 3G/4G, the updates are so big that you'll be waiting a really long time (also, you'll eat up a ton of your monthly wireless data), so Wi-Fi is much easier here. You should also make sure you've got plenty of battery life. The download and installation process can take some time, so if you've got less then 50% battery, you may want to plug in to a power source.
Hope this answers your question!
Cheers,
GB
