Workflow on long project - is it possible to link sequences across project files?
I'm starting a long form project. Obviously, I'll need to break it down into sections.
I'm editing a documentary, and the bulk of the film is interveiws with five different characters. They are all shot with multiple cameras. I understand how to use the muti-cam editing feature of CS5.5, and it's great. But, is it possible to create a multi-cam sequence in one project, and then import that sequence into another project, and retain the ability to go back to the multi-cam project and make changes to the edit, and those changes will be automatically updated in the second project? This seems like it should be possible as it's so similar to the dynamic link feature with After Effects, but it just doesn't seem to work. After I import the MC edit sequence into a new project it's locked down to the original edit, ie. changes to the original multi-cam sequnece are not updated in the second project.
I know I can do this if I perform all my editing inside one project, but this seems cumbersome. This file will have so many clips, bins and sub-folders it's going to be hard to keep track of where I'm at. So it seems to me that by breaking this work down into seperate project files, then assembling them into one main edit project just makes more sense.
Thanks in advance!

No, each project is an island. What I mean is that once you import one project into another one, it merges into the "host" project and becomes part of it; all connection to the original project is broken. Sounds like you might be familiar with how Avid works (or used to, maybe? Been awhile.) where a project bin was a standalone file, and if you opened it in another project and made changes, those changes would be made in all projects using the bin/sequence. So, I'm afraid that your proposed workflow won't, well, work.
That said, there's nothing wrong with working on a bunch of individual projects (might be smart, actually), and then merging those in a final assembly project. The same rule applies, though: any changes you make to the original projects won't be made in the host project, so you'll want to save that until finishing.

A couple different questions /similar scenarios
1) Is it possible with Project Server 2010 to have several sites (http://server/pwa1 and
http://server/pwa2 for example) communicate and build a Master Project at a third (or X) site (http://server/pwa3)
2) Is it possible with Project Server 2010 to have several sites (http://server/pwa1 and
http://server/pwa2 for example) communicate and build a Master Project at one of the original sites (http://server/pwa1 (for example))
OR is there a better way to do this/more preferred way to do this.
We found this (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/projectserver/en-US/2379c3f2-6c80-46d7-8eac-3bc2ccb2d908/master-projectsubproject-with-sites-in-pwa-2010?forum=projectserver2010general)
but its not what we're looking for
3a) Issue/Example -
We want to set up a site (http://server/pwa100) for just the president of the company - all the schedules of the subsites (/pwa99 + /pwa98) create a feed into an integrated master schedule/master project with subprojects(located
in /pwa100).
3b-1) We also want to set up sub sites (http://server/pwa99 and
http://server/pwa98) for each division VPs (and specific other people). These two sites would only allow specific user's project files to be viewed by each other...
Can their project files have linkages between the two project sites (/pwa99 and /pwa98)? Meaning if user1 logs in to /pwa99 can he see a project file (given that they have permission) from /pwa98 in the same instance?
3b-2) Can they see the project file in ProjPro and/or PWA ???
3c) is it possible to have:
+ /pwa100 (pres)
++/pwa99 & /pwa98 (two vps)
+++/pwa97 & /pwa96 & /pwa95 & /pwa-etc (minions)
each rolling up to the next level (level 3 rolls up to level 2 which can roll up to level 1)kbwrecker,
I agree with Dale. Having multiple sites will make this difficult to set up.
Not knowing how your Custom Groups/Categories have been set up, have you looked into using the "Project Permissions" feature to share projects. These permissions are 'additive' to the category permissions, so you could start out with people looking at the
projects they are authorized to via categories, and then let them share/add people as needed basis. This will also satisfy the requirement of not-loading the projects with resources..
And finally, the department and categories need not align, except that when projects from one dept are shared t another dept resource, the visibility of custom fieds will be affected.
Hope I did not go off on a tangent there :)

Meant to get back to this earlier - your answer is close (because its what we currently do..sort-of)
From my understanding of this issue the users are separated by department and can only see specific projects; however, when they try to share departments between users (so they can see their projects (dept a sees dept b projects)) this works - but there
is a bigger issue/main issue.
main issue: when dept B adds a new project dept. A cannot see the new project in dept B.
This can be eliviated by removing the user/s and re-adding them to the permission structure of the deptment but overall doing this several times based on user/s and projects being added it gets to be cumbersome and just plain annoying.
Any help/additional thoughts would be great -
I am new to Creative Cloud, but have been using Adobe software for many years.
Now we are considering sharing an Indesign file with my project group using CC.
The Indesign file contains links to external files (one Illustrator and multiple .txt files); and we export the approved version to an Hi-Res PDF.
These .txt files are currently hosted on our internal server but have not been linked directly: we first copy them over to local desktop and update the links in Indesign before creating a new PDF.
Since these file can be update by different people we would like to keep them outside the Indesign and Illustrator files.
Is it still possible with CC to link directly to the files on our server in Indesign and see if there have been updated?
Or can they also be stored in the CC cloud? Or is there another method?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions
RonaldThis will work if you all use the file syncing of the Creative Cloud desktop application and then you use the Collaborate option for the folder containing all the files. Then it will work on each of your desktops.
Links to files will not work in the browser when viewing the InDesign document from https://creative.adobe.com/files. -

How can a Multiple Projects in P6 can be linked to One Project in Unifier
Hello Team,
Can anyone help me with some solution to link Multiple Projects in P6 to a One Project in Unifier
Regards,
AvinashHi Avinash,
Hope you well.
Not sure if this is answering your question correctly but you can set each P6 schedule to link to a specific Unifier schedule sheet in a Unifier project. You can have a number of schedule sheets in a Unifier project however only one schedule sheet can be the master schedule sheet.
Hope this helps. -
Sharing of Tests across Projects
Is it possible to share Tests across Projects:
e.g.
Say I create a Project say v1.0, with requirements R1.1, R1.2 and R1.3 and create Tests named T1, T2, T3.
Subsequently, when I create Project v2.0, is it possible to search and map T1, T2 to R2.1, 2.2 for the purpose of regression test coverage tracking.
Thanks.Hi
You can clone projects, but I don't think is possible to map requirements of tests from one project to another.

Hierarchical Calculation of POC across Projects
Hi All
I m facing problems in calculation of POC across multiple projects in a specific hierarchy. So that all progress of multiple projects be reflected at the top level specific project. I had maintained the relationship across projects through subnetworks.
When i run cne2. It calculates the progress of multiple projects. CNE5 represents the progress of all projects individually. I want to have the progress of all projects represented in one top level project.
I want to use the Progress calculation through concept of summarization. For that i defined the hierarchy but i m still unable to use that hierarchy in progress analysis.

InDesign CC no longer packages fonts when I need to send a project to the printer
Hey Adobe team: Long-time user from when Photoshop was but a sprout. I recently upgraded from Creative Suite 6 to Creative Cloud and have run into a troubling problem. InDesign CC no longer packages fonts when I need to send a project to the printer. This meant that I had to completely redo a project on deadline for a problem that I’ve never had before. How is this possibly helping your users? And is there a solution in the works or do I need to cancel Creative Cloud and go back to CS6?
@OurPlace
First of all, you are not addressing any Adobe team. These forums are primarily supported by volunteers who are not Adobe employees and don't officially represent Adobe Technical Support.
That having been said ...
There was nothing done specifically with InDesign 9 or 10 (the CC and CC 2014) versions of InDesign to change or disable packaging of fonts when packaging a document. It should be absolutely no different from InDesign 8 (the CS6 version).
Troubleshooting hints:
(1) Make sure you check the Copy Fonts (Except CJK and TypeKit) option in the package dialog.
(2) Make sure that you are not using any CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) complex fonts that we specifically will never put into a package.
(3) TypeKit fonts won't package.
(4) Make sure that your file system permissions are such that InDesign can create all the necessary directories and subdirectories for the packaging operation.
(5) If on MacOS, exit InDesign and try forcing a clearing of your system font cache and then reboot.
(6) Exit InDesign and then find and delete all files on your system with filenames of the form AdobeFnt##.lst where ## is a two digit number; don't delete any other files that start with AdobeFnt. Then reboot and restart InDesign.
(7) Reset InDesign's preferences that may have become corrupted. For Windows, start InDesign, and then press Shift+Ctrl+Alt. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files. For MacOS, while pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start InDesign. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
One of these should either address or resolve your problem. Again, we at Adobe are not aware of any generic issue with packing fonts with InDesign.

"Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item" in Project Site templates
Hi
I created a document library with the "Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item" on, and saved the site as a template. However when I create instances using that project site template, the document library doesn't
have the "Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item" option on, like the site that was used for the template have.
Is this option not possible to save on a project site template?
Here are the steps I did:
On a document library I set the versioning for major and minor version
I create an “Publishing approval” workflow and set it to “Start this workflow to approve publishing on a major version”.
But when I create a project instance of this type, the document library on the project site has the “Start this workflow to approve publishing on a major version” turned off.
Thanks!
Best regardsHi,
I recommend to create a WebProvisioned event receiver.
We need to create an event handler and register it with the Web Provisioned event. In the event, we need to find the specific Library and set SPList.DefaultContentApprovalWorkflowId property.
When the site is provisioned, the event handler is activated. Then the "Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item" option will be checked.
More information:
SPWebEventReceiver.WebProvisioned method (Microsoft.SharePoint)
SPList.DefaultContentApprovalWorkflowId property (Microsoft.SharePoint)
Attaching Web Event to perform operations after creating the web (Event Receiver Concept)

Received this error (The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information.) recently on a workflow that was
working fine and no changes were made to the workflow.
I have tried a few suggestions, i.e. adding a pause before any ‘Update’ action (which didn’t help because the workflow past this action without incident); checked the data type being written
to the fields (the correct data types are being written); and we even checked the list schema to ensure the list names and the internal names are aligned (they
are), but we still cannot figure out why the workflow is still throwing this error.
We located the area within the workflow step where it is failing and we inserted a logging action to determine if the workflow would execute the logging action but it did not, but wrote the same error message.
The workflow is a Reusable Approval workflow designed in SharePoint Designer 2010 and attached to a content type.
The form associated with the list was modified in InfoPath 2010.
Approvers would provide their approval in the InfoPath form which is then read by the workflow.
Side note - items created after the workflow throws this Unknown Error some seem to be working fine.
We have deleted the item in question and re-added it with no effect.
Based on what we were able to determine there don’t seem to be any consistency with how this issue is behaving.
Any suggestions on how to further investigate this issue in order to find the root cause would be greatly appreciated?
CheersHi,
I understand that the reusable workflow doesn’t work properly now. Have you tried to remove the Update list item action to see whether the workflow can run without issue?
If the workflow runs perfectly when the Update list item action is removed, then you need to check whether there are errors in the update action. Check whether the values have been changed.
Thanks,

I got error "The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information "I found out the cause is Update Item action
I need to update item in another List call Customer Report ,the field call "Issues" with data type "Choice" to yes
then the error arise . please help..Thanks for the quick response Nikhil.
Our SPF 2010 server is relatively small to many setups I am sure. The list with the issue only has 4456 items and there are a few associated lists, eg lookups, Tasks, etc see below for count.
Site Lists
Engagements = 4456 (Errors on this list, primary list for activity)
Tasks = 7711 (All workflow tasks from all site lists)
Clients = 4396 (Lookup from Engagements, Tslips, etc)
Workflow History = 584930 (I periodically run a cleanup on this and try to keep it under 400k)
Tslips = 3522 (Engagements list can create items here, but overall not much interaction between lists)
A few other lists that are used by workflows to lookup associations that are fairly static and under 50 items, eg "Parters Admin" used to lookup a partners executive admin to assign a task.

You can't do it out of iDVD.
If you create a disk image file (.img) out of iDVD you MIGHT be able to do so using Roxio's Toast and the .img file.

Is it possible to export a Muse project as HTML to use locally inside a browser?
I am trrying to see if it possible to export a Muse project in the same way, for example, it is possible with Fireworks to export a PNG file with hotspots as HTML and Images.
I want to be able to look at the project hosted locally and still click on sections of the site, click on links within the site making it appear like a live web site, but locally in my machine.
Thank you!Hello,
You can use File>Export as HTML option and it will export your website to a local folder.
Then you can open the index.html page in a web browser and it will give you experience of your site with all active links.
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to transfer iMOVIE 11 projects between my iMac and iPad2 so that I can work on projects when I'm away from home?
ARD is totally unnecessary and inapplicable for your scenario. ARD is a Mac OS X application for managing other Macs and is not useful if you want to connect to a Mac from some other OS. Mac OS X has a VNC client build int, so VNC, or one of the number of other remote control solutions - LogMeIn, for instance, if they offer a Linux version - is where you want to be looking.
