Workflow help/create promo commercial in iMovie HD

I want to create a promo commercial using some video and still photos in a very artistic montage sort of way. I have a Sony hdr-hc9 HDV camera that shoots 1080p and a Canon 30D dslr. I use Aperture 2.0 for the photos. My goal is to burn a HD DVD to play on a flat panel TV as a 30-60 sec promo for some products I sell. The video and photos need to be clear and close to show details. I need some advice on a workflow for this project. I will also have the flat-panel in the portrait mode for playback and want to have the final product on the DVD use the full screen. I do not yet have the LCD/plasma, but it may be up to 42 inches. Should I be creating this in iMovie HD and then export to iDVD for the final product? I do not need sound or chapters, just a looping style video. Do I need a higher end software like FCP to do this (do not have it) and go to DVD Studio Pro and Compressor? I could also get the new iLife if need be. How can I be sure the final DVD will play vertically on the TV since it needs to be in that orientation? Do I have to hold the camera on a tripod in the portrait position for all the shoots? Can I use Ken burns effect on the video and stills?

My goal is to burn a HD DVD
HD DVD died last year in favour of Blu-Ray.
You can buy a third party Blu-Ray burner and Toast. Some burners even bundle Toast.

I'd go for FCS 2 (final cut studio 2) because it has WAY better stuff and can do a lot more that iMovie can even dream of. You should learn Motion which will make your video look awesome with 3D effects. For the monitor, I don't thing many TV type monitors will do a 90 degree rotation, so I'd get the biggest computer monitor possible. If you do that, go for a Dell monitor because they can be wall mounted, they rotate very easily, just a few clicks through the menu.
Hope this helps!

"Can I use Ken burns effect on the video and stills?"
Don't go over 100% on the video. For your still images, scan or process them at 4800x2700 pixels in size. DPI does not matter but you have to put a number in so 72dpi is fine. Use Tif format. If you are an user of Motion, it does a better job with zooming in and out. If you use FCP, keep the image moving to avoid it looking choppy. You should experiment with this effect and burn a DVD and play it before doing the whole job. Keep in mind that Ken Burns does not use software to do his zooming in and out. That is, he hangs a photo on the wall and moves the camera in and out. So your result will be different.

I just finished creating a movie in IMovie and now want to burn it to a DVD and make it loop. Since I just purchased this IMac it no longer comes with IDVD. My question is how to burn and loop a dvd without IDVD. Thanks for any help.

I just finished creating a movie using IMovie and want to burn it to a DVD and loop it. Since I just purchased this mac it looks like they no longer include IDVD. Is there something out there to help me do this. I am new to MAC and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

There is free open source software called Burn that will burn DVDs. Here is a link.
If you wish to pay for software, there are many, including TOAST TITANIUM from Roxio. Apple's retail copy of iLife 11, and Apple's Compressor.
Of these, I would say that iDVD is known for being able to create very professional looking DVDs with intros, menus, lots of interesting templates.
Toast is much simpler and the menus and templates are more plain.
Compressor is a professional tool that does a lot more than make DVDs. Don't expect much in the way of menus or templates.
Burn, I have never tried, since I have iDVD and Toast for those ocasions when I need to burn a DVD. However, since it is free, I think it is worth a try.
Each software package is a little different, but in general, in iMovie, you can use the SHARE menu to SHARE/MOVIE in Large size. Save the movie to your desktop or someplace you can easily find it. Then drag it into the tool of your choice. You can alsouse SHARE/MEDIA BROWSER/LARGE if you have iDVD or Toast.

I create a project w/iMovie and I have two problems: When I try to finalize the project iMovie crashes; when I share to DVD sometimes it crashes also; if I can successfully send it to DVD and then burn a DVD there are wavy lines on the screen. Help!

You can split a project in two by doing this.
1) Go to the Project Library View.
2) Select your project, and click FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT. Give it a name like "your project name - part 1".
3) Do this again. This time name it "your project name - part 2"
4) Open Part 1 for editing. Delete everything in the second half.
5) Open Part 1 for editing. Delete everything in the first half of the project.
At the end you should have your original project, plus the same project in two parts.

How can I create a Commercial Invoice or similar document in SAP ByD?

How can I create a Commercial Invoice or similar document in SAP ByD?
Our company has recently implemented ByD, but we can't figure out how to create a commercial invoice for shipping/customs purposes. I know that the German version of ByD allows for "Export Declarations" which is pretty much the same as a commercial invoice, but the U.S. version doesn't have this document/function.
Any suggestions? I would appreciate any help.
By the way, a commercial invoice contains:
1. The shipperu2019s complete information: Contact name, company name, complete address and tax identification number.
   2. The recipientu2019s complete information: Contact name, company name, complete address and phone number.
   3. The buyeru2019s information (the person to whom the goods are sold by the seller) if different from the recipient: Contact name, company name, complete address and phone number.
   4. The shipment tracking number, air waybill number or bar-code label number.
   5. An accurate description of the contents in your shipment that includes the following details:
What the product is
What material the product is made of
What the productu2019s Schedule B or HTS code is
What the productu2019s intended use is
What the productu2019s country of manufacture is
What the productu2019s parts or serial numbers are (if applicable)
What the productu2019s quantity and unit of measure are
What the productu2019s value is, per unit and in total

How can I create a file in iMovie with a lengthy audio file, but only 1 picture?

Let me state first off that I'm a blind user using the Voiceover screen-reader in OS X.
Now, I want to upload some audio to Youtube, but they do not allow simple MP3 files. As such, I want to create a file in iMovie with my audio and 1 picture to use as a visual. Within iMovie, I add my audio file, select a picture, but when I publish, the audio is cut off after only a few seconds. Can someone please explain how I can fix this issue so my entire audio clip will play?

iMovie is a visual medium, so you need to make the duration of your photo at least as long as your voiceover track. You should be able to double click on your photo and then enter a duration.
See iMovie Help at this link.
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a883915
An MP3 file may work for you, but for best results, use a WAV or AIFF file (uncompressed). You can convert MP3 to AIFF in iTunes. Let me know if you need instructions.

Hi I have created a movie using iMovie 10.0.6. I cannot save the movie as a complete file to be able to burn on to a dvd.

Hi I have created a movie using iMovie 10.0.6 on a macbook pro using Yosemite 10. I want to burn this movie to a dvd to use on any dvd player.
I have "shared" to a file and saved it to a named folder, but it just disappears into thin air. I cannot drag this file into an application because there is no file.
This is very frustrating, Help.

Help creating a Wait for event step

Friends,
I'm working in the following way:
1-My workflow to create a vendor is triggered.
2-Fork with 2 flows (1 to terminate):
2.1- if user executed XK01 by wi and created the vendor;
OR
2.2- if the user executed xk01 directly and created the vendor, by exit, I call an event... that is in a Wait for step task. But it is not working. in swel it is givin me the message: 'Linkage deactivated'.
please help me!

Steady on there Amandeep...
1. Don't change the error feedback settings on the event linkage directly. Leave it on "system setting".
2. Go to transaction SWEQADM and select the "Basic Data" tab.
3. On the basic data tab set the "behaviour on error feedback" to:
a) "Mark linkage as having errors" - if this is a QAS or PROD system - that will let you redeliver the event from SWEQADM once you have fixed the problem.
b) ""Do not change linkage" - BUT ONLY!!!!!!!!! if this is a development system where no-one cares where dead workflow instances go. And usually I would recommend making the development system "Mark linkage as having errors" too - gets you used to the event problem diagnosis/redelivery process for when you get to QAS/PRD.
The most common problems I see for deactivated event linkages is workflow definition not activated, or mandatory import container elements not provided in the workflow/event binding.

Workflows not created for timecards submitted

We have an issue with workflows.
When employees submit their timecards, some of them randomly do not have associated workflows created. The submitted timecards are just stuck in 'SUBMITTED' status.
The workaround is for the preferences for the employees with this issue to be updated so they can resubmit timecards which are in 'SUBMITTED' status so the employee can resubmit his/her timecards. This time, the associated workflows are created fine.
Has anyone else come across this issue? Any idea why this is happening?

Are you using the Workflow Background Process or do you have 'OTL: Defer approval process on timecard submission' System Profile set to No? There could be a delay in the notifications being sent if you have the WBP set on autoscheduler to only run at certain times. I would suggest changing the profile option instead if you haven't already, this means notifications are always sent immediately without delay.
If this is all fine, are you receiving an error in the workflow before resubmission?
Hope this helps.

SPD 2010 won't overwrite existing workflow but creates a new version instead

When editing then saving and publishing an existing SharePoint Designer workflow a new version of the workflow is created but the previous version is still available in the SharePoint list for a user to select and start manually.
Example: The original workflow is named Email Notes. After editing and publishing there are now two workflows available: Email Notes and Email Notes (1). Future edits increment the number so now we have Email Notes, Email Notes (1), Email Notes (2) and so
on. Any of these workflows can be started. It looks like SPD won’t overwrite the existing workflow. SPD only shows the original Email Notes workflow.
The problem appeared after making the setting change: SharePoint Central Administration > Application Management > General Settings > Workflow settings > Workflow Task Notifications. I selected yes for "Allow external users to participate
in workflow by sending them a copy of the document?"
After noticing the effect it had on editing workflows I reverted to the default "No" but the problem persists.
One wouldn’t think making that change would cause my current problem but I have confirmed the behavior on a test server with images from our live environment.
Has anyone seen or heard of this before? I found one random post on a site where someone else had experienced the same thing.

Hi,
This is a known behaviour. When you publish the new version of the workflow, the previous version is still available because there might be some workflows executing in lists and libraries on this version. But you can remove the previous versions so that
they are not available for the users to starts. Go to List/Library > Settings > Workflow Settings.
You will see all the previously published versions of the workflow. Here it shows the version of the workflows with Allow, No New Instance or Remove options. By default, previous version workflow should change to "No new instance" so users cannot
start this manually. If this does not happen then this workflow will be available for users to start as in your case. If no instances of previous version are running, then select remove, and click Ok. Hope it clarifies.

I am trying to create a Workflow for creating Material Master views in ECC6 system . Initially Basic data 1 and basic data 2 is created by user and then my workflow is trigerred for subseuqent views .For e.g i need to route the workitem to a user to fiill in Purchasing data and then to another user to fill in accounting data after basic data 1 and basic data 2 is created by so called super user. I was trying to use business object BUS1001006 for this using method CREATEVIEWS but i am getting stuck here with using this method . I dont know how to use this method so that once the user clicks the workitem it should directly go to Puchasing tab view or Accounting tab view (depending on the kind of user currently accessing the workitem).
Any idea how to solve this problem ? It would really be helpful for me

Oracle WorkFlow, help me, please

Hi,
I don't familiar with Oracle Workflow , I want to use it, in fact I build up the Oracle WorKFlow using WorkFlow
Builder but I don't know how to link the workflow process with the aplication.
Can any one tell me How to execute this work flow
regards
Marma Teresa

Hello Maria,
There are two parts to your question; First, if you want to see how Workflow works in the application a good idea would be to test for example; a Purchasing Workflow. If you have Purchasing do the following: (I'm not sure how your setup is for the apps. so I'll include all steps).
1) Create yourself as a user in the Core applications: (R) System Adminstrator - (N) User/
Define
2) Give yourself the following responsiblities: a) System Adminstrator
b) Purchasing
c) Workflow Adminstrator Web Applications
3) Create a Purchase order in Purchasing - do not approve the PO
4) Open a SQL session and run the following script:
SQL> select segment1, wf_item_type, wf_item_key,po_header_id
from po_headers_all
where segment1 = <PO Number>;
This script will give you the the name of the workflow that got called: wf_item_type and
the unique instance of the definition that got called: wf_item_key.
5) Choose the Workflow Adminstrator Web Applications responsibility and choose Find Process
from the menu
6) In the Item key field enter the value from the SQL script (wf_item_key) - click on Find
7) In the next form chose the View Diagram button - this will launch the Workflow Monitor, it
will allow you view the present state of the definition - the green line indicates
the 'path'Workflow has taken and the color also indicates that everything is ok.
8) Go back into Purchasing and Approve the PO
9) Follow steps 5,6 and 7 - to see the 'continued flow' of the Workflow.
The second part to your question, if you have created a Workflow you have two options;
1) To actually 'call' the Workflow you created, you will have to save your definition to the
database. Chose the Launch Process menu, find your definition. The in the next form, enter
the data for your attributes...then click ok. This will launch your workflow.
Unfortunately, I do not know what your definition looks like so may encounter some errors.
But the Launch Process allows you 'test' the Workflow you created.
2) If you want to 'include' your definition in the Core Applications that might require a
customization. In brief, when users are in the application, depending on what they are
doing, the form will call workflow. If you want the application to call your definition you
will have to cutomize the call the form makes. But, certain modules in the application
do allow you to modify Oracle's definition and call your new process - Oracle Purchasing
is one of those modules.
I hope this information helps. If you need more infomation let me know: [email protected]
Thanks,
Karen

AFAIK, you can't author a DVD using iMovie - again, AFAIK, you need authoring software such as iDVD or Toast Titanium or something similar.
