Using "Archive All" with individual clips?

When importing video from my AVCHD camera, I like to use the "Archive All" option at the bottom of the Import window. That way I can quickly just transfer the raw files to a hard drive and import the clips I want for editing into iMovie later.
Ideally I'd like to archive individual clips in this same manner. Typically my camera will have clips from several unrelated events I need to archive. I'd like to archive the clips from each event into separate archives. However it seems like the only option is "Archive All", which puts everything on the camera into a single archive. If I immediately imported the video from my camera after each event I shot this wouldn't be such a problem. But sometimes I forget or shoot multiple events in one day, so this functionality would be useful.
Just to make sure, I tried selecting individual clips and then doing "Archive All", but as I expected it ignores the checkboxes and just archives everything.
Is there any way to archive individually selected clips?

That makes sense, but my problem is finding the events in the archive files before importing into iMovie. Right now I give the archives long names like "<data>, eventName1, eventName2, etc.>". It would be a little cleaner to have a single archive per event instead. Being able to select clips would also allow me to not archive clips I don't want, saving space.
It's not a huge deal, it just seems like it would have been easy functionality to add, but I guess it's not high on the priority list. Maybe next version...

Using reference monitor with master clip

I love the ability to color correct the master source rather than each timeline clip! I love it so much that I want to color correct my master clips independently of the editing process but the problem is that I cannot get the reference monitor to display a scope that is synchronized to the master source clip.
In working around this the old way, edit-first, I still find often that other parts of the master clip (not chosen for a sequence) are much better for color correction (like a good face or a color calibration card.) Thus I assume there is a way to do this that I do not understand? (Or, alternately, am I thinking about it wrong?)
Thank you!

I have identical real time TC for all 3 cameras, and two cams are continually recording. the third is roaming.
Here's a link to a past project: News & Events :: PCC's Christmas Lights Spectacular :: Pensacola Christian College
As you can see, one is locked, one is on a tripod getting closeups, zooms, and pans, and the third is moving around getting various angles. The two on a tripos are left continually recording, but the roamer starts and stops (it's handheld, so it's easier to just start/stop).
@shooternz, could you elaborate on your method a bit? You seem to indicate that you can just drop the third camera's clips in the sequence based on Time Code. I'm not familiar with TC Panels or TC Markers.
As for not all of them being used... I do have several dozen clips left over the course of a half-hour concert... :/

Stop Motion using photos + combining with video clips

We have about 3000 sequenced photos we want to put together into a Stop Motion video. We would also like to add an actual video clip to the beginning and to the end of the Stop Motiuon segment. Can this all be done in Premiere Pro? If so how? If not - what other Creative Cloud programs should we use and how?
Thanks.

Problem while using reply all with non english sen...

My company recently decided to also inlcude the chinese name in the e-mail address.
When the directory is updated, I face some difficulities when replying mail.
There are some e-mail addresses are not recognized properly and resulted in Nokia
Mail for Exchange complaints that some e-mail address are not valid.
It seems the problem is not always true for every Chinese e-mail address.
It sounds to me that it might be a problem of the e-mail adress length or the
e-mail address with Chinese name are interpreted incorrectly.
I hope that Nokia can look into the said issue.
Thanks a lot!

Can I use current Firefox 3.6.3 with Windows 7 (64 bit)? If not can Firefix be used at all with this operating platform?

Windows had event logs indicating "Shutdown Degredation" saying it took to long for the program to stop.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Since download and first use

Firefox should work fine on Windows 7 64bit systems. Are you having problems, or just wondering?

How can I export individual clips from iMovie?

I have 250 clips, but I want to export them ALL as individual clips, and not as a movie. I have taken a lot of time to select these clips from many hours of video. And I now need to get these clips to a post-production person for editing. I wish to export them all as indivudual clips, and maintaining the original order.
I can only find the way to export either a single clip, or an entire movie.
Can anyone help me on this Thanksgiving morning??
THANKS!
Jim

sorry I should have been a bit clearer.
There are three sections I wish to export individually from the one sequence.
I worked out that I could export multiple sequences within the same project, which is fine... but the ability to export separate sections from one sequence would be very useful...
Cheers,
And thanks again for your help.

Archive all fails every time

I am trying to use Archive All function of imovie 09 to archive my HDR-SR12 Sony camcorder. It fails with the message:
This file could not be copied:
/Volumes/NO NAME/AVCHD/BDMV/.DS_Store
(-48)
Help.....

There should be better messages in your logs. Download the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget. It shows the messages from your logs for one TM backup run at a time, in a small window. Navigate to the failed backup, then copy and post the messages here (be sure to get them all, as sometimes they overflow the small window).

PS CS6: Images sometimes not saved when using Close All and instructed to save

I thought I had made a crazy mistake when this happened earlier today, but it just did it again and I was paying close attention.
I often open multiple images to make several changes, then use Close All and when it prompts "Do you want to save changes to ... before closing?" I check off the box to "Apply to all" and say Yes. This saves lots of time when adjusting several multi-hundred MB images. Imagine my surprise today when it closed an image without saving! I had to repeat about 30 minutes of work as a result.
I thought I had somehow accidentally clicked "No" to saving, so I made sure to pay close attention the next few times I used Close All to save work. It worked fine until a moment ago when it did it again.
Has anyone seen something like this? I can't find anything in searching. In all my time using this feature in PS I never once had a problem before.

Thanks for the reply.
I just upgraded to CS6 from CS5 a few days ago, and this is my first week in heavy usage.
I do have Save in Background turned on. I am saving locally. I also have auto recovery saves turned on, at 5 minute intervals (CS6 has crashed a few times on me)
Yesterday I used Close All with Save maybe 10 times, and it exhibited this behavior 2 of those times.
In the two cases, I had 3 PSDs open, each a little over 400 mb in size. It seemed to save two of the images, but left one unsaved. I noticed that instead of spending several seconds saving, it would quickly just close that image - as though it believed no changes had been made. The changes that had been made to the image were routine - add some adjustment layers, some masks etc.
I have tried to reproduce it by opening the same images, making similar changes and then repeating Close All with Save, but so far no (bad) luck. Idle speculation - could it have something to do with the frequent interval of autorecovery saves that I do? Some kind of conflict? Or is it something to do with background saves? Definitely never saw this in previous versions of PS.
As a workaround, I have made a simple action that saves an image and apply it in batch. I just can't risk losing work.

Bring in another .psd file with the clipping path

Okay, this client has a very odd request. They want a collage of images put together in one file and they want the clipping paths to be attached. Then it's to be saved as an eps file. I'd like to do this in InDesign and am going to be posting this same question there as well. I like that in InDesign, the clipping path stays attached to the image when you move it. However, is there a way to do this in Photoshop? I don't know how to bring .psd files into Photoshop along with their clipping paths. If there is a way to do this, is there a way to link the clipping path to the layer so that when I move the individual layers, the clipping path moves with it?
Help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

In Photoshop "Clipping Path" is a special kind of Path and limited to one per image and not linked to one Layer.
A work-around to combine multiple images with individual Clipping Paths into one psd file with a combined Clipping Path could be
• applying the Clipping Paths as Vector Masks to the images (flattened to one Layer or converted to a Smart Object each),
• combining them and after positioning/transforming/…
• copy/pasting the individual Vector Masks into one new Clipping Path.

HT5622 We are a family of 4, each with their own apple device. Is it best for us to set up individual apple ID's for things like ITunes? If we do can the same e-mail address be used for all of them or do we need to create e-mails for the kids? Thank-you

1. Yes, it is.
2. You may be able to use the same address by adding a plussed suffix to it, such as [email protected] If that doesn't work, create separate emails.

When i import movies from my iPhoto app to my iMovie app does it make a copy (thereby using double the hard disk space) or does it link to my iPhoto app? The reason i ask is i want to archive all my videos from iPhoto/iMovie. HELP!

When i import movies from my iPhoto app to my iMovie app does it make a copy (thereby using double the hard disk space) or does it link to my iPhoto app? The reason i ask is i want to archive all my videos from iPhoto/iMovie. Do i need to archive the movies in iPhoto AND iMovie? HELP!

Hi - I'm having the same problem with freeing up space on the HD. If I can't free space if I'm using any part of the clip, how can I split up the clips so that I can discard the part I won't use? This is crazy! I have only 4 GB of free space left!
Also, I've tried to transfer the project file to my external HD but I keep getting an error saying I can't transfer it. I've been told this is because I don't have enough space on the HD for the transfer. I tried a similar transfer with another computer with plenty of HD space but the same error occurred. Is there a way to break up the project file into small pieces for the transfer (I'm thinking the whole movie file is just too big)?
Thanks for any info!

Workflow for marking clips and then exporting them out as individual clips with audio?

Hello,
I'm just starting to use Prelude. I recorded an interview for my daughter for a school project last week. The interview went well, but I want to mark as "sub-clips" all of the video interview's question/answer combos (e.g. "What is your name? My name is John Doe.") and then save them out to individual clips rather than have to manage the full size files (about 40GB in all from my Panasonic GH3, 50mbps, IPB MOV) with clip markers. I'll keep the originals as backups, but would really rather work with the individual clip files.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! I would think this would be a very simple and common function. Basically, just dividing up the original video into multiple, standalone video clips with the same bit-rate, encoding, etc., but with new headers/EOF markers. Just chopping the original files up into chunks with no changes or reencoding necessary. If I can do it the way I imagine it, it should be a very quick process, at least compared to transcoding the files.
Best regards,
Scott

Hi -
Meg The Dog's suggestion will work if you don't intend to bring in all of your media off the card. The Partial Ingest method will allow you to selectively create subclips during ingest and not transfer the full original clips.
However, you do state you plan to keep all your media - not just the parts you want to subclip. So here's my suggestion for the workflow:
1. Ingest all your media from your cameras (the entire clips - not the partial clip method)
2. Open each clip from the Prelude Project Panel and create your Subclip Markers using Prelude logging tools.
3. In the Project Panel you will find new entries will appear for each SUBCLIP Marker you add to your master clips.
4. You can organize you subclips into BINS as needed to keep track of the segments of your video
5. When you're ready to create your timeline of subclips you can either
   5a. EXPORT all the SUBCLIPS into their own files (select all subclips you want to export and use the FILE->EXPORT->MEDIA menu command)
   or
   5b. Drag-Drop your subclips into a ROUGHCUT in Prelude to order your story. Then use the SEND TO PREMIERE PRO feature to send the Rough Cut into Premiere pro where you can finish your edit. All the media will come along for the ride into Premiere Pro (including your Subclips). You can then add titles and any effects easily enough in Premiere Pro).
There are some other options here you can also try out which might be interesting. For example, you can add transitions and any additional audio tracks to your ROUGH CUT directly in Prelude and then EXPORT the Rough Cut as a final movie - and not need to move to Premiere Pro unless you have wider editing needs.
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Michael

Want to save Individual clips with separate names

Moving from Final cut over to Imovie. In Final Cut could save any clip with a separate name. Other than copying a clip over to a new project and rendering a move, I could not find how to do that in imovie, or in the tutorials/manual. I have spent a good deal of time bringing the HD movies over to Imovie and selecting out the clips to make a new movie. These clips must now be archived with individual names.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks in advance!

Probably collecting everything on an artboard into a new layer might give you the option to use a script to save layers to files.
But this is a feature request but no as of yet has suggested a way that this might work, at least I do not think so.

Using PNG format with max width without clipping top and bottom of image?

I am using PNG format to preserve the transparency and drop shadow I am trying to incorporate to give the illusion that this slab object is floating above the other layers. I first tried file>place to position the menu object on edge of header/beginning of content. Doing that leaves no options to force the image to span the width of whatever screen. I need that so I've tried using object>fill> and then clicking the max width of the rectangle (which does solve the max width problem), but I am now dealing with a clipping problem of the top and bottom of the image. The next thing I can think of is to go back to Photoshop and distort the image so it isn't as tall. I feel there has to be a simpler way to accomplish this that won't also give my image a unnatural look. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, that helps. I also found that I cropped to much of the canvas. After increasing the canvas area AND setting to fill all is well now. I think your suggestion may help with the scrolling affect problem I'm having when using different resolutions. I am going to try to set the size in one dimension (height) so that different resolution screens see the same scroll actions. Thanks Mylenium!

Backup with Exp, Can It used in DB with Archive Log Mode ??

I need information about if When I activate Archive log mode in my database ,after This I will use all before backups with Exp in full,Table,user ...recovery mode .
any advice are welcome
thanks
Jimmy

If you are using archive log mode, you should back up your database by regularly backing up
your data files. If you lose a tablespace due to a defecitve disk or need to do a point-in-time recovery due to a user error, you restore your latest copy (if doing point-in-time the latest copy before the
user error) of the relevant data files an then roll forward using the archived log.
You can not restore your database from an export and then roll forward using the archived
logs.
