Work flow for syncing separate Audio files with Video files in FCP

It may be too late for me to use this workflow that I want with my current project, but I need to figure out what it is anyway for future reference.
Right now I'm editing a movie which is near completion. When we recorded the movie, the camera's deck recorded reference audio from the sound guy at 48k @ 16bit. This audio also went through an additional set of preamps which added a small amount of noise. So we don't want to use the reference audio because of it's low resolution and less clean audio. The sound guy recorded straight to his deck at 48k @ 24bit, besides the better resolution, his audio is noticeably better.
The camera deck and 'clapper' (I think that's what you call it) were not connected or synced. So the video files and the soundsguy's audio files are slightly different lengths, but at least have a 'clap sound' to manually sync to. And I don't mean that the audio and video files won't play in sync with each other, I mean that the soundguy always started recording before the camera, so his audio files have slightly different start and stop times.
Could I have synced the audio files with the video files before I started editing this project? If so, could it have been in the way that the soundguy's audio would be connected to my video files while editing? What would that procedure have been?
My current workflow right now is I have my finished sequence, I change the bit rate to 24 in Sequence Settings, and start manually dragging the soundguy's files to the sequence for every little edited clip. This is going to take forever, there are 99 scenes in this movie. Anyway, at the end of the day these sequences are exported as .omf files and imported into Pro Tools for audio post production.
I was not thinking to figure this out before I started editing the movie, this is unfortunate, a newb move in a decent production.
Anyway, I don't know if there is a standard for this situation or if I just opened up a can of worms for many possible workflows. Please comment if you have experience in this area or please refer me to any reading material.
Thanks for your time!

The normal workflow (besides manually syncing up before editing!)
is to have ' some ' way of auto syncing the clips.
So you must have common timecode.
With external audio, you can slave the cam's TC to the TC output of the BWF recorder.
Then you can use BWF / QT merge (one of my apps) to sync them, or use Sync 'n Link.
(another third party application)
If it is not possible cause you're shooting with a cam without a TC input, you can record the TC output on one of the audio tracks of your cam, and use FCPauxTC reader to decode the beeps and translate that to QT TC, and again use the former tricks to sync them.
It is difficult when you have never done it, but very easy once you get the hang of it, and it saves a huge amount of time to do it right from the start.
Have a look at the FCP aux TC reader here:

How do I sync a audio recording with video?

Hi,
I recorded a concert using my DSLR and a separate sound recorder. What is the easiest way to sync these two up in PE10? I had hoped that at the least I could compare the wave files of both the original recording on the camera with the separate recording. But PE10 only shows the wave file of the recording from the camera. The wav file from the recorder is just shown as a green bar. Any ideas?
cheers
bill

First, what is the file format, and its specs. for the remote recorder?
Though the rates of modern cameras and digital recorders SHOULD match 100%, in the real-world, they seldom do. This make perfect syncing a labor intensive process.
One should do tests between the cameras and the recorders, to find out the % or error. Then, adjust their Audio to match first. As an example, one user in the PrPro Forum tested his Panasonic cameras, and his Zoom recorders, and found that the Zooms were off by 0.04% constantly. To correct this, he used the Time Remapping (with Maintain Pitch checked), and would apply that adjustment to all of the Zooms' files - perfect sync.
As for the Waveform not displaying for your remote recorder, did you allow those files to completely Conform (creation of the CFA and PEK files, the latter is the Waveform Display)? See this article: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/726693?tstart=30
Also, you should be able to increase the vertical zoom of your Audio Tracks, and hence any Clips on them, by hovering the Cursor over the junction between Tracks, in the Track Header, and when it turns into a = sign, with up/down arrows, click+drag. Then, you should be able to find commonality in the beginning, to sync up to. Tip: for this critical work, toggle the Snap feature OFF, with the S key.
Good luck,
Hunt

Typical work flow for porting c/c++ libraries?

I'm new to the whole Alchemy world and I'm also very rusty regarding my knowledge in C/C++ (which was never that good to begin with). This is making my experimenting with Alchemy somewhat difficult, since I don't know if the problems I have are related to me not understanding the C-compiling process or the library I'm trying to compile not even being possible to compile using the Alchemy gcc. I've managed to compile some of the samples in the Alchemy download and some "Hello world" level code of my own. But I've yet to fully understand the process of compiling an arbritary C-library to an swc. So, what I'm hoping for is for you guys that have more experience with this to give some pointers about the whole process by answering my questions below.
1. Are there any indicators one can look for in C-libraries to determine if they can be successfully ported? (e.g. only use ANSI-C libs)
2. What would be the typical work flow for porting a C-library after having downloaded it's source? How do you go about starting to build the C<-->AS3 interface? Do you dive into gluegen immediately, or write the glue.c by hand?
3. When should one do ./configure; make etc. to compile a library and when does one simply use gcc alib.c...?
4. Do you have any examples of simple C-libraries one could try to port? With simple I mean libraries that don't have any external dependencies to other libraries and have a relatively small source (say 5-10 files or something).
Feel free to chip in with any answers you may have. And since I'm a n00b, please use idiot-speak as much as possible

Thks for ur reply Jens.
But still it not very much clear to me.
Can you please throw some light in the bellow sinerio :
Let say I want to build an sample music player application in Linux which will be having following module
1) GUI : which contain one button : say PLAY
2) Event handler : for the click event of PLAY Button
3)Plugin for playing music : code wich actually plays the music
So GUI that is button if devolop in FLASH/FLEX
Event handler module will be written in Action Script
Plugin will be written in C which will use gstreamer framework APIs in turn . So these plugin API's should get called from Event Handler i.e Action Script code And here is the place where binding from FLASH to C API's is requried.
So in the above senirio the actual execuable of the application will be nothing but swf file only.
Can I use Alchemy as a glue for binding FLASH & C??
Plz correct me if I am worng.
Please share ur thoughts ...
Thanks in Advance

Anybody got a better work flow for backing up multiple shoot day projects?

Many of my projects are shot over multiple days. I import media at the end of each day and back up the event to another drive before deleting media from cameras/cards. So on day 2 I have one of three work flows for updating my back-ups.
1. If I'm feeling lucky. I delete the previous back-up project from the back-up drive. And then make a new copy of the original event and add the date to the title after the word copy.
2. I make a new copy of the event to the backup drive and date it. When it's done copying and been verified I delete the back-up event from the same back-up drive.
3. I've just started copying new clips from the original media folder in the original event to the back-up project. It's more work keeping track of all the newly added media files and there is more chance of making an ommision.
Anybody got a better work flow for backing up multiple shoot day projects?

What you need:
You will need two identical external drives and a copy of Carbon Copy Cloner. CCC is free. The drives could be USB 2 if all you are doing is backing up. If you plan on editing with the drive(s), you'll want firewire. Each needs to be large enough to contain the raw card contents for the duration of your gig.
The Process:
At the end of the first day's recording, connect the two drives to your computer (if firewire, daisy chain them / if USB, you'll need two USB 2.0 ports)
On the first hard drive (Drive 1) create a folder - call it BigDealLecture
Inside of BigDealLecture, create a folder and use the nameing convention "BDL_Date_card number for that day" - so if you used 2 cards today, you should create BDL_2012-02-15_01 and BDL_2012-02-15_02
Attach your card reader or camera to the system.
Lock the cards so they can not be erased
Insert Card 1 into the reader
Select ALL contents of the card and copy them to the folder you created for the first card for today
When it is complete, eject the card, insert card 2, copy its contents to the folder for card 2
eject the card
Launch CCC and do a clone of Drive 1 to Drive 2. You can set it to do a complete block by block clone or an incremental backup. Either will work.
When finished cloning, test a random sample of the clips on both drives to make sure they work.
When satisfied the copies work, put Drive 2 in the hotel safe.
Put the Drive 1 in a place where you can grab it if there is an emergency in the night and erase the cards to get ready for the next day.
Take Drive 1 with you to the lecture site the next day.
Rinse and repeat daily.
When the conference is over, send one of the drives via FedEx or some other same day service to your office. Pack the second drive in your bags for the trip home.
A note: If you have enough downtime durning the conference between obligations, you can do the transfer from the cards to Drive 1 on site and do the clone when you get back to your room. Don't unlock and erase the cards until you are satisfied the copy/clone process was without incident.
Have fun.

Triggering a sub work flow for multiple users at same time.

I have a scenario in which I have created sub workflow as an activity for approval process. This sub work flow should be triggered for multiple users at the same time and their decison is independent of each other.
This is like creating multipe instance of the same sub work flow and then the sub work flow runs indepedently as a new work flow for each of the approver and the process is completeded for approver independently.
How can this be achieved?

Tyr to do like this,
1. First include the subworkflow in the main workflow template.
2. Now include standard Block Step in the main workflow template.
3. In the block select the block type as ParForEach.
4. Before doing the 3rd point make sure that all the agents for whom you want whom you want to initiate the workflow, populate them in a Multiline conatiner element.
5. Once completing 3rd and 4th points open the block step under the tab ParallelProcessing assign the multiline container element name in the for e;g if the multi line container element name is COSTCENTER then do the binding like below. the conatiner element COSTCENTERLINE is created by default once you include the multi line conatiner element under parller processing tab.
&COSTCENTER[&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&]& --------> &_COSTCENTER_LINE&
Now assign the agent of the subworkflow as COSTCENTERLINE , imean if suppose you have 3 entries in the internal table then three separate and for three different agents the workflow is instantiated.

Regarding work flow for credit block release in sales order

Dear Experts,
Kindly help me with work flow-
my scenario is if customers credit limit of 5000$ exceeds in sales order it should be blocked and notification should go to authorize person through simple mail to release this block.
for this i have done settings in out control i have used output type krml and determined partner as employee responsible to release block in customer master but mail is not triggered to authorized person for credit block and how i can create work flow for this so that authorized person should get notify for credit block as well he releases block also.
Regards
Supriya

Dear supriyaparimal,
Please find the below points to fix your issue.
1. Configure the out put determination by using the condition type KRML.(Hope oyu have done it already).
2.Maintain the condition records in VV11 for condition type "KRML"
3.Then select the condition record and click the communication tab .
4. If you want to give any information you can use "Note for recipient".
5. If the information has to be sent to relevant person you recipient name in the recipient column.
Save the documnet.
If you raise the sales order and if it is blocked then system automatically send the information to respective person.
You can get this in formation in ""SBWP" transaction code.
Check the in box, the information what you have mentioned in the condition records will be appeared.
Please let me know if you have any clarifications
Thanks&Regards

Re: Work flow for resource / work center in MEINT

Hello Experts,
We are working on SAP ME 15.0 recently installed. We are trying to send the work center from ECC to ME. In MEINT we see only the following work flow for work center / resource:
As can be seen, LOIWCS02 is not there. When we sent work center (category 9100) with LOIWCS02 IDoc type, it failed in MEINT. But when we sent work center from ECC (category 9100) using IDoc type 9100, it was processed successfully in MEINT but it created work center in ME.
The other component LOIWCS02_ME_RES or LOIWCS02_ME_WC is not getting called. What is the possible reason and resolution?
Would be thankful for any feedback on this.
Thanks in advance
Srinivas

Hello Alexander,
Thanks for the quick reply.
As per the help document, the work center category 9100 is supposed to create a Resource in SAP ME but it ends up creating work center in ME.
If you see the screen shot I had put in my query, I see that there are three work flows - one for LOIWCS03 and the other two for LOIWCS02_RES and LOIWCS02_RES. Would this make any difference since I would expect that the work flow for RES and WC should also be in line with LOIWCS03?
I will be asking my tech team to raise a support incident for this. Meanwhile I would appreciate your reply on this.
Thanks
Srinivas

Work flow for Goods issue MIGO_GI

Hi friends,
I want to develop a work flow for good issue MIGO_GI transaction. Is there any standard work flow this scenario.
When I deliver the 4 materials, the Material cost is 100*4 = 400, if the Material cost is greatr than 500, mail should trigger to the manager, if it less it will go to the first approver.
please advice me in this.,
regards,
Ajay

I think no stanadard workflow will provide you with such a validation, Better to design your own customized workflow template,
Follow the below steps.
1. Open PFTC select the task type workflow template
2. Click F5 and define the relevant fields and make the agent assignemnt for the workflow template as general task from the menu addtional agent ---> agent assginement --> maintain --> general task.
3. Check the BOR BUS2017 this might be useful.
Check the method GoodsMovement.SAPCreate and its parameters interface, if you can get the total values of the then include a condition and validate th total cost if is satrisfyies send mail and workitem to approver, if it does not satisfy then send only workitem to approver.
Check the below BADI's
MB_BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE        MB_GOODSMOVEMENT
MB_BATCH_MASTER                MB_GOODSMOVEMENT
MB_DOCUMENT_BADI               MB_GOODSMOVEMENT
from where you can trigger your customized workflow by using the standard fm SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT or SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW*

Approval work flow for Role based and Resource based

Hi All,
We have to implement approval work flow for the following things in OIM 9.1.0.1
Approval work flow for Functional Roles (Groups in OIM) (Approvalsrequired for users to get these roles)
IT Roles (Resources in OIM) (Approvalsrequired for users to get these resource)
Functional Role (Group) contains policy1,polici2. Polciy1 contains res1,res2 and Policy2 contain res3,res4.I want to create approval work flow for this Functional Role to achieve the following
User raise a request for the functional role, then it should wait to get manager approval. then once its gets approval, that user account should create on all resources which are involved in that group.
And, I have to define approoval work flow for all individual resources to get users account creation on target with approvals. These resources may include in the groups as well.
After getting approval for functional role (Group), then Will OIM starts the approval flow for all resources involved in the group? becase, all resources have approval workflow at resource level also.
My Goal: Approval work flow for Group, should not process the approval work flow for resource. can we do it in OIM 9.1.0.1?
And can we do the same in OIM 11g also?
Please help me and do let me know, if you need any information from my end.
Thanks.

Thats configurable buddy ! ! And possible in 10G and 11G both versions.
Functional Roles : These are the groups/roles in OIM 10g/11g with access policies attached at the backend.
- Create a dummy resource and name it Request Role or anything as you like. Attach an Object Form to it and have form field for Role Name, this would be a lookup type field linked to all OIM groups (leave system values using lookup query). So a user can select any OIM Group in this request as per configuration. Have approval workflows defined on this dummy resource Request Role and in its Provisioning Process make user/s a part of the requested group.
- Now once the user is made a part of the group, the associated access policy would be invoked automatically and thereby provisioning. The only thing you need to keep in mind is that create the access policy without approval (there is a check box). If you do this the approvals would never be invoked even if you assign a group manually to the user coz it suppresses all the approvals in this access policy.
IT Roles : These would be linked to the resource and you can define individual approvals on the resources as required.These approvals would be required if someone raises a request for these resources individually.
Thanks
Sunny

How to config work flow for approval in snp?

Dear Expert,
we want to running TLB for deployment stock orders which are approved by leaders.
please tell us how to config work flow for approval in snp?
thanks so much

Hi,
I got to know from DB49 that some workflow is available in GATP, but as far as I know, there is no such possibility in SNP.
Deployment stock transfer kind of data exists in livecache order series, and it's very tough to manipulate it in some way to suit the approval workflow.
As far as I can propose, you would need to do following (big custom development):
1) Create a custom transaction
2) Read Deployment Stock transfer data in accordance with your selection criteria and display it to the relevant user/approver
3) User would accept/reject the Deployment Stock Transfer. This action is possible in a custom transaction.
4) If Deployment Stock transfer is rejected, delete it from livecache
5) Now when you run TLB, only approved Deployment Stock Transfer would be available to be coverted to STOs.
In the above development, you could create logs/reports as you need for audit kind of purpose.
This won't be a very simple development, but it's possible.
May be someone could give you some better alternative.
Thanks - Pawan

HD work flow for downloadable quick times

We are putting up video clips for press sites to download - these clips are currently being used in mostly FCP and Avid. We are generating our clips from ArtBox (which only supports DV 25). We currently are supplying Mpeg-2, DV25 AVI and DV25 MOV files for download.
Question...We are wanting to supply HD content. Does any one have a suggested work flow for this delivery?
We are using FCP. I am thinking we ingest using DVCPro 50 or Pro Ress 422 and export using H264. This of course does not create the AVI of MPEG-2? We are trying to supply at least three file choices.
Any thoughts?

H.264 is only for presentation...right. Wouldn't want to get that for editing.
ProRes isn't really what you want either, I don't think. What it does is make Uncompressed HD quality files fit into an uncompressed SD data rate. That is stil a bit high for web delivery.
Not sure what you'd use. For SD clips I'd typically get Photo JPEG A files....then I'd convert into the codec I needed. I'll let someone who might know more than me in this area take the answer on this one.
