Work on IMOVIE08 import

Hi,
I imported work from imovie08 via xml. At first editing worked fine. Than, because of the fact that audio was imported as two mono tracks I began to create stereo pairs (btw, is there no other way as to do that with every dammed single clip?).
Also I shifted some scenes to other places in my sequence. Suddenly I got that annoying situation that no efffects could be insertet. (not enough material...). Indeed there was no overlapping at the editing points.
Next I tried the described procedure to get overlapping. This results in 'clip collision at...' No I am somewhat desperate and do not know what to do
Probably all my negative expiriences are typacal for a newbee but perhaps somebody has a hint for me how to avoid a situation as described above

Tom,
thanks for the quick answer! But if it would have been so easy, I would not have made this remark. When I select all, I cannot use the command in the 'modify' pull down, to bulid stereo pairs, it is grey shaded! Unfortunately it worked in undoing stereo pairs, so now I have mono again )-:.
Now to transitions. At first, after having imported the sequence from IM08, it was possible to insert transitions at every point I wanted.
Than I did some editing (moving around scenes, building stereo pairs (by single clip!) trimming shots etc.
After doing so I wanted to insert a transition at a point where after shifting new scenes where put together and - I failed. I realized that it was not possible to insert transition at any place in that sequence.
How is it possible that all this 'working handles' necessary for transitions simply disappear?? Can I get them back without this time consuming procedure with the ripple tool discribed by you?
Greetings

Map including spliting operation dosen't work in MDM Import Server

Hi All,
I met a problem with MDM Import Server when using a map file with spliting operation in it, although I can use it in MDM import manager to load data successfully. The error in log file is like this:
Record Matching...
Importing Lookup...
One or more attribute values are invalid.
One or more attribute values are invalid.
One or more attribute values are invalid.
One or more attribute values are invalid.
Import Failed!
The spliting in my map is: I split field "Category" into category1 and category2 with space " ". e.g. value "Trousers M" is splitted into "Trousers" and "M" . Then I map category1 to category and category2 to size.
I tried to delete this spliting and just map "Category" to "Category" then it works well for Import Server.
Is it the bug of MDM import server? can anyone give me a explaination?
Thanks! Bin

Under Configuration Options of the Import Manager,
check the values for
<b>Default Batch Handling</b>
AutoMap Unmapped Values = Yes
Unmapped value Handling = Add/Ignore/Fail.
Set the values according to your needs.
Make sure that the data source is updatable as well.

Please respond by email ([email protected]): Thanks in advance for help.

yes shirley i did, it turned out that one of my photos was a snapshot of what was on my iphone at the time and it had been named xxxxx.png, i think the fact it was .png was the reason, anyway i deleted it from phone and computer and i,ve had no problem since.

I just buy an iPhoto 11 version and it's not working. No import to library, no open, no slideshow, nothing.... Quit unexpected. Simply NOT working guys. :-( Any ideas? Tnx

IMovie08 import ceases: import window remains blue; controls still work

I'll be importing HDV video clips just fine. Then I'll try to import the next clip as usual by clicking the controls in the import window...the camcorder will correctly play...but this time the import window remains blue: no image is shown and no importing happens. The controls work perfectly so the connection between camcorder and iMovie seems perfect. iMovie suddenly just cannot see any image.
I've tried everything I could find recommended in posts here and elsewhere. The only reliable way to remedy the problem is to reboot the Mac, but that works only temporarily. After rebooting everything works perfectly...for 10 to 20 minutes, then the problem reoccurs.
These are unlikely root causes:
* Hardware is a 3-week old MacPro with giant RAM and storage
* Software is the latest OS release and latest iMovie08 release, 7.1.4
* Camcorder is a 2-month old Sony HC9, set to output in HDV mode
* I've tried ad nauseum unplugging/replugging the firewire, turning off/on the camcorder, and quitting/restarting iMovie...to no effect.
I'd sure value your help. I have another hour or more to import and this is killing me.

The information that I found suggested that the Mac identifies the format of the video device connected to the firewire as soon as it is plugged in, and then retains that setting until the next reboot. If there is nothing playing, the camera will tell the Mac that it is a PAL recorder and the Mac will then only expect to capture PAL formated video. If an NTSC video is playing then the Mac will identify the correct format for the capture, keeping that setting for the firewire until reboot.
Because the setting is at the hardware and OS level it will effect all capture software, but different software will handle it differently and produce different errors. iMovie '08 says nothing and just pretends to import with a blue screen, Final Cut says Preview Disabled, and iMovie '06 says something about getting half-sized frames during the capture and not being able to import.

CS2 AS: Scripted "Import XML" is not working (like manual import does)

I have problem where importing a XML (merge import + delete unmatched) by script simply doesnt work, where the manual import works 100% fine!!??
(I'm exporting the XML, refill it with new text data (localisation process actually), and bring the xml back to commit the change in the Indesign document).
With the script, the XML get imported as a child in the XML
I have xml structure like:
root
node
and get something like
root
node
root
node
My code looks like this (sorry for the formatting):
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
tell XML import preferences
set create link to XML to false
set ignore unmatched incoming to true
set ignore whitespace to false
set import style to merge import
set import text into tables to false
set import to selected to false
set repeat text elements to false
set remove unmatched existing to true
end tell
try
import XML (document 1) from pFilePath
on error pmsg
display dialog pmsg
end try
end tell
Is there something obvious that i'm misssing??
ps: I have checked the XML structure correspondance already.. but i dont think that's the cause of problem as the manual import is working.
Thanks for any help!
Eric

Hi Eric,
If you can see the behavior in the user interface, you can see it in scripting. I think it makes perfect sense to have the XML import preferences set at the document level, because some documents need one set of preferences; other documents need another. I think (hope) that the user documentation covers the differences between application and document preferences (if not, I do, in my book).
If you see a preferences object on both the application and the document, assume you want to use the document preferences. Unless you're trying to set preferences for new documents.
Thanks,
Ole

Adobe Photo Downloader stopped working; can't import from a DVD?

I use Premiere Elements 4 (loaded with Adobe Photoshop Elements 6) on Windows Vista.
When I attempt to import video from a DVD (via Get Media > DVD import) I am unable to do so and the message
ADOBE PHOTO DOWNLOADER HAS STOPPED WORKING is produced by Windows.
I would value any help with this problem!
Many thanks, Don Varleyhall

Well, if it was produced in an Adobe program, then it should be 100% DVD-compliant. The menuing structure should not be an issue, as it can with other programs (Roxio and Nero come to mind), or from a DVR-DVD unit. I have never seen one of those that did a DVD-compliant disc.
This might point to something else going on.
As a test, grab, or create a short Project in PrE with Menus, and then Burn it to Disc. Test this back in PrE, and see if it behaves exactly the same way. If not, then something might be odd with your first disc, or there could be some other issue. If the Importer fails again, I'd think about doing a Repair Install.
If the test works, the first thing that I would do would be to Copy your DVD-Video. One can use the free burning utility, ImgBurn to do this, if they do not have Roxio, Nero or some other DVD Copy utility.
As a thought, there are a lot of other programs, that can get in the way of many operations in PrE. You might find some tips on setting up your computer for an editing session, in this ARTICLE. Then, test with your DVD again.
Good luck,
Hunt

&DISPLAY_USER not working properly after import/export of application

I'm getting some weird functionality.
Several variables are no longer working after I exported and imported a page into the same HTMLDB environment
for example at the bottom of the page I now get:
User: &DISPLAY_USER Language: &BROWSER_LANGUAGE
I verified that the template are the same in both cases.
I also get the same error in one of my links
with
&SESSION not resolving.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Erik

Erik,
Items using that syntax need a period at the end (&DISPLAY_USER.) when the application uses "exact substitutions mode". Some of our older applications used "non-exact substitutions mode". Perhaps you exported the page from such an application.

Itunes stops working when I import

I'm trying to import book files from my attached storage device. Everytime I click "add to itunes", I get an error message that iTunes has stopped working.

there's a bug with 10.1.0.54 that is causing "iTunes has stopped working messages" (citing CoreAudioToolbox.dll in the Problem Reports for the error) for some folks when importing CDs with the AAC encoding, adding/converting files to AAC, and in some cases syncing devices.
Short of rolling back your iTunes to 10.0.1.22 and your Apple Application Support to 1.3.2 (CoreAudioToolbox.dll is kept in the Apple Application Support program files), there's a few possible workarounds.
(1) Change your importing prefs to use a different encoding (won't help with the device syncing variation though) and/or switching off the option to convert files to 128 kbps AAC when syncing.
(2) Replace your CoreAudioToolbox.dll version 7.9.4.0 with a 7.9.3.0 as per:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12576816#12576816
(3) Or, replace your CoreAudioToolbox.dll version 7.9.4.0 with a shadow copy of a 7.9.3.0 as per:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12583499&#12583499
(2 and 3 do help with the device-syncing variation.)

ISync palm conduit in 10.5 - won't work under user imported from 10.4?

My Palm m500 was syncing fine with my PowerBook G4 running Mac OS 10.4
I recently got a spiffy new MacBook Pro (Penryn) with 10.5, and although the Palm does communicate and sync via Palm Desktop, it no longer syncs via iSync with iCal & Address Book. I keep getting the following in the hotsync log:
< snip >
OK Install
iSync Conduit starting 3/13/08 10:38:34 PM
iSync Conduit: received NULL message, disconnecting...
OK iSync Conduit
</ snip >
==========
Other info:
I imported the user info for my main user from the old 10.4 installation using Migration Assistant.
• Deleted old Palm HotSync & Desktop files from the username:Library:Application Support, as palm preference files from username:Library:Preferences
• Copied the old user folder to an alternate location, and removed the Palm folder from username:Documents:
• Re-installed Palm Desktop 4.2.1 under main user (authorized as an "administrator" temporarily)
• Sync worked (no data on Palm Desktop, but everything backed up ok), HotSync even recovers and creates a new user based on the data on the device, and even backs up all the programs.
• Enabled Palm Os Syncing from within iSync (works fine, so long as the account being used has read/write permissions to HD:Library:Application Support:Palm HotSync:Conduits)
• "Enable iSync for this palm device" from the iSync conduit within HotSync Manager.
During a sync, iSync kicks in and "connects", but can't get past AddressBook syncing, and never actually sends info to the Palm device. Presumably, this is where the "NULL message" is received and syncing stops. When I specify "Erase data on device then sync" in iSync (for first syncronization), it does indeed erase address book data on the device, but never sends anything to replace it, but also does not touch the calendar data on the palm device.
Furthermore, I tried the same procedure when logged in as another administrator account (what is normally the main administrator account on this computer), and synced first without iSync, then enabling "iSync for this Palm device". Under this other account, the syncing works. I can add events to iCal, and contacts to address book, and they are transferred sucessfully and synced with the palm device. But it still does not work when logged in as the main user (even when administrator privileges are enabled, which I normally don't want), which actually has all my iCal and Address book data (which syncs successfully through .Mac with my computer at work).
There should be plenty of free space on the device for all my calendar & contact data (3MB).
Given that syncing DOES work for one administrator user (which was never before set-up for this), but not for the user that was imported from 10.4 and was syncing successfully before, I have a suspicion that there's either some leftover files that I missed, or a permissions conflict within the user's home folder that I am missing. Has anyone else been able to resolve this issue, or have any suggestions based on this information?
Much appreciated.

Experimentation reveals that:
• replacing the old addressbook data with blank allows syncing to work without problems.
• having multiple groups causes the same error: BUT only on the first sync (set to “Erase data on device then sync”, but also if set to “merge”). Adding groups after a successful initial sync did not interfere with further syncs.
• deleting groups from existing AddressBook data does allow a successful first sync.
• but adding them back in again breaks the sync.
Having no groups would seem to allow a successful sync.
see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6805570&#6805570
I don’t want to have to limit myself to this. I do use groups rather a lot and it would be frustrating to have to give up using them just so I can sync my Palm in Leopard.
The following does NOT solve the problem:
1. Move old Address Book data to a backup location (after exporting AddressBook library)
2. do a first sync
3. re-import full Address Book data from archive
4. continue with regular syncs.
• only sync one Group still leads to the same error.
• iSync 2 doesn’t run under Leopard (error message along the lines of “You can’t use this software with this version of Mac OS”).
• I also tried to use the previous iSync palm conduit (v3.0.2 instead of v3.1.0), but got the same errors.
For now, I removed all the groups and synced my contacts to my Palm, but I then turned off syncing for contacts within iSync, so I could recover all my Address Book Groups. Fortunately, I need to update Calendar information more often than contact info, and I won’t be able to change contact info on the Palm device. When I do want to do a periodic update to my Palm device, I will have to:
1. Backup my address book
2. Delete all groups (but not the contacts within them, which stay in the library itself)
3. Turn contact syncing on in iSync
4. Sync the Palm device
5. Turn contact syncing OFF in iSync
6. Recover my Address Book Library & groups from backup
Not as simple as I would expect from Apple software ... I hope this issue gets fixed in iSync 3 (Leopard).

Aperture not working to get import previews and thus import images

I cannot seem to get images to appear int eh Import Window's preview pane, and thus cannot import them. I have some 1600 images from a recent shoot in a sub-folder on an external drive (in two locations actually) and Aperture is not hunting them down. I have tried importing files on the desktop as a test and the same problem, no previews and no chance to import. All my OS and Aperture updates are installed and I did a restart to no avail.
I know that this version of Aperture, along with the user manually select to not import into a New Project (grip for Apple dev if they are reading), that previews take long to load and freeze the Import process on my setup. So, it could be that it is taking forever to get 1600 previews, but viewing them in a finder window shows no problems getting previews.
Any pointers as to what the problem might be?

I have occasionally had this problem and found either waiting a while or cancelling the Import and then retrying the Import (and being patient) works.
The workflow I use includes giving a custom master/version name to the appropriate images from the camera, such as "Judy in the Garden", importing those pics of Judy, and then supplying another master/version name, such as "Punch Drunk" for the appropriate images of Punch, importing those, and so on. So it can take many iterations to pull all the images in. Often the imports work as you would expect but then suddenly, nothing appears to happen and cancel and I redo it. My suspicion is Aperture is busy doing some housekeeping or other (or hung) but since a retry or two does the trick, I don't worry about it.

How can I get avi files to work with imovie08?

Hi I bought a macbook last year and have loved creating imovie videos by simply using the video function on my digital camera. My daughter was born last year and we have a great collection of clips of her first 7 months. I'd now like to take things a step further and put together a wedding video.
We had our wedding day filmed on a digital camcorder by a friend and he has given my 25MB of avi files which I would like to import into imovie and make into a video however I understand that this format isn't compatible. Is there a way of getting it to work and if so please can you tell me in very simple terms what I need to do to get the files to work with imovie? (I'm not very technical)
Thanks
Matt

I do not know of a way to import .avi files directly into iMovie, and I am positive that this is not actually possible as iMovie only supports the importation of .mov, .mp4 (mpeg4) and .dv filetypes.
What you could do is use a video converter (there are some good ones that are availible free, eg MPEG Streamclip (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html)) to convert those avi movie files to either of the 3 video formats iMovie supports, then import them.
MPEG Streamclip does sound a little complicated for you but it is the best I have found, any more questions just post them here.

Premiere Pro CC and After Effects CC - Dynamic Link of an .aep not working - Stalls during import

I have been trying to import an .aep file into Premiere Pro CC from After Effects CC. As suggested, I import the file. The dynamic import window appears. It states connected to file along with the import files ... dialogue box. It stalls there.
I have been working off my network and have all the files collected on my machine.
My workaround to get me to deadline was to render my clips from AE and import them. Importing the .aep would make more sense from efficiency and workflow.
Thank you

Thank You, Jim -
Unfortunately that specifically did not work.
Based on another comment sent to me, here is what did.
In PProCC
File > Adobe Dynamic Link > New After Effects Composition
In AECC
From that composition created from PPro, I imported the project (aep) initially created in AECC from another team member. Saved the file.
Back in PProCC
File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Import After Effects Composition
Magic.

Duplicate command is not working for custom importer

Hi All,
I am working on a custom importer plugin. Basic features are working fine, but, I'm facing an issue with Duplicate functionality.
I added a new custom importer clip to project and created a duplicate of that clip (by right clicking the clip in Project window and selecting Duplicate from pop-up menu). Then I added both clip instances to timeline. Now, if I change properties of one clip instance it reflects in both clips. I noticed that both ClipIds are same and they are referring to same media path. I also observed the same behavior in SDK_Custom_importer sample. But, built in 'Color Matte' and 'Title' clips works fine.
As per my understanding, Duplicate command should create a new clip from existing clip and new clip should be independent of original clip after creation.
How to fix this issue? Is there any selector that I should handle to support Duplicate functionality?
Thanks & Regards,
Chandan

Hi Chandan,
The Color Matte and Title clips are not quite the same as your custom importer example. Those are synthetic clips, without a file reference on disk. If you exported a title to a file on disk, and then reimported it, and duplicated it so that there were two clips in the Project panel that reference the same file on disk, I think you would have the same behavior as what you're seeing with your custom importer. Duplicate doesn't create a new file on disk. The user would need to do that manually, and then import the new file.
Regards,
Zac
