Workflow question about output module names

Hi!
I have been working on a massive project that requires hundreds of lower thirds.
After finishing the actual design, my workflow has been like this:
1. Save the project with a new file name
2. Replace the old text with the new one
3. Save
Before doing that, I have added the render comp to the render queue. For the output module name and location, I have used a template that automatically gives the output module the project name. This has been great, since I have only needed to enter a new project name when "saving as" and the render module has automatically taken that name for the output file name. A great speed saver when you have to do tens of repeats.
Now here comes the problem:
After I had created all the necessary AE-projects, I was thinking of importing all the projects in to a single AE-project and then simply hitting render (since all the output modules were automatically added to the render queue when importing the projects) so that I could leave the computer rendering for a few days and do something else in the mean while. BUT when I import the projects, the name for the output module changes for every item in the render que to represent the current project. In other words I loose all my carefully planned names that I used to have in the output modules, because AE replaces them with the current project name.
Is there any way of keeping the workflow I described without having to rename all the output modules after importing the projects in to a single render project? Is there some other way to get a good workflow on a project like this?
Any tips will be highly appreciated!

Should be perfectly doable to iterate through the appProjectIItem list. Off hand I'm not sure if it recognizes folders, though, so maybe it will be a bit more tricky to get what you want. IMO the safest way to avoid any confusion would be to have the script itself do the import. That way it can store the name of the imported file as a variable or some text file and reuse it when it renames the RQ items...

  • Important conceptual question about Application Module, Maximum Pool Size

    Hello everyone,
    We have a critical question about the Application Module default settings (taking the DB connections from a DataSource)
    I know that on the Web it is generally suggested that each request must end with either a commit or rollback when executing PL/SQL blocks "directly" on the DB without the framework BC/ViewObject/Entity service intervention.
    Now, for some reasons, we started to develop our applications with thinking that each Web Session would reference exactly one DB session (opened by any instance taken from the AM pool) for the whole duration of the session, so that the changes made by each Web session to its DB session would never interfere with the changes made by "other" Web Sessions to "other" DB sessions .
    In other words, because of that convincement we often implemented sort of "transactions" that open and close (with either commit or rollback) each DB session not in/after a single HTTP request, but during many HTTP Requests.
    As a concrete example think of this scenario:
    1. the user presses the "Insert" button. An HTTP request is fired. The action listener is executed and ends up with inserting rows in a table via a PL SQL block (not via the ViewObjects API).
    2. no commit or rollback after the above PL/SQL block is done yet.
    3. finally the user presses a "Commit" or "Rollback" button, firing the call to the appropriate AM methos.
    Those three requests consist of what I called "transaction".
    From the documentation it's clear that there is no guarantee that the couple AM istance + DB session is the same during all the requests.
    This means that, during step 2, it's possible that another user might reference the same "pending" AM/DbSession for his needs and "steal" somehow the work done via PL/SQL after step 1. (This happens because sessions taken by the pool are always rolled back by default.)
    Now my question is:
    Suppose we set the "Maximum Pool Size" parameter to very a great number (always inferior to the maximum number of concurrent users):
    Is there any guarantee that all the requests will be isolated in that case?
    I hope the problem is clear.
    Let me know if you want more details.

    Thanks for the answers.
    If I am right, from all your answers about resource avaiability, this means that even supposing the framework is able to always give us the same AM instance back from the AM pool (by following the session-affinity criterias), there is, however, no "connection affinity" with the connections from the DataSource. This means that the "same AM instance" might take the "a new DB connection", if necessary, from the connection pool of the DataSource. If that happens, that could give us the same problems as taking "a new AM instance" (that is, not following session-affinity) from the beginning, since each time an a new connection is taken (either via a new AM instance or via the same AM instance plus a new DB connection), the corresponding DB session is rolle back by default, clearing all the pending transactions we might have performed before with direct PL/SQL calls bypassing the AM services during the life cycle of our application, so that the new HTTP request will have a clean DB session to start to work with.

    To write to a file, use PrintStream. It has a method println() like System.out, except you can specify a File as the target, e.g.:
    PrintStream ps=new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream(new File("myfile,.txt")));And to write a string to this file,
    ps.println(String);

  • Question about renaming file names

    After spending many hours organizing my iphoto library, deleting duplicates, etc, it is now where I want it. So I have two questions.
    1. Is there a downside to updating all the file names to the Event Name as long as this is done in iphoto? (I was thinking this might be helpful in case anything gets jumbled in the future)
    2. If it is advisable to do #1, is there a way to do this to the whole library in bulk or do I need to do it event by event?
    Many thanks for any advice.

    It is not possible - you can not change file names in iPhoto - you can add titles and when you export use the title for the file name - but file names within the iPhoto library will always remain as they were originally imported
    Old toad uses image capture to bring photos to his hard drive and then uses a third party package to batch rename them to the proposed event name in a p=folder with that event name - then if you drag that folder to the open iPhoto window it creates an event with the folder name and the file names are what you set

  • Question about outputting DVCPRO HD to MiniDV Tape

    Hi There,
    I have a DVCPRO HD 720p24 project that I need to output onto MiniDV and I have a few questions. I am running FCS2 with the latest updates.
    1) I have an older sony camera (DCR-PC100) that I am outputting to. I would like to maintain my 16x9 aspect ratio. Provided I have selected anamorphic in my sequence settings, will my camera record a 720x480 image with the aspect ration intact? The camera is just a 4:3 consumer camera and it's a bit older. Just don't want to lose any quality.
    2) As it states in my signature, I'm working on a MBP so my only video output for coloring monitoring and that type of thing is through firewire and out of my camera. This doesn't work correctly from my native 720p24 sequence - it just sticks on one frame. I am already in the process of rebuilding a 720x480 NTSC sequence. Is this the only way I can output properly to a monitor?
    Thank you for reading my post

    Hi Spiff,
    Well I mainly assumed so because the most practicle way to screen a selection of films in one session at a short film festival is to compile a tape with all the films set to one ratio (usually 4:3)and I thought you were specifically asked to send a tape.
    However it would be wise indeed to call them.
    Some festivals use/compile miniDV or DVDs some others BetaSP or DigiBeta.
    With regard to transferring the film onto your PC 100 (Mighty PC 100! It was very popular 4-5 years ago amongst domestic camcorders, so popular that Sony put a PC 12O in the market with enahanced features) providing it works fine, then you will be fine to use it. Renting a deck or using a pro camera with miniDV capability will not improve the quality of your video.
    If your anamorphic version looks fine then lay that one on the tape.
    Try to use Panasonic pro master 63 minutes miniDV tapes. THey are white tapes.
    Good luck with the festival!

  • A question about output result

    i want to print the query result of a database table into the screen. but i found it difficult to align the results. listed below is an example
    Mary F 28
    Alexandra M 30
    i usd the listed command to print above results:
    System.out.println("\t" + name + "\t" + gender + "\t" + age);
    i had planed to use '\t' to align the output, but i found length of data are different. like "Mary", it is less 8 characters, while "Alexandra" requires 9 characters. this leads to the output is not aligned. the expected result would be like this:
    Mary F 28
    Alexandra M 30
    anyone knows how can i align the output ? thanks a lot!

    by writing something like
    public static String leftAlign( String string, int length)
    StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer( length);
    if( string.length() < length)
       buffer.append(string);
       for ( int idx = string.length(); idx < length; ++idx)
         buffer.append( ' ');
    else
       buffer.append( string.substring(0,length);
    return buffer.toString();
    System.out.println( leftAlign( "", 9) + leftAlign( name, 30) + leftAlign( gender, 5) + leftAlign( age, 5) );

  • NOOB question about outputting final edit

    I'd used FCE for several years, and am in the midst of switching over.
    I've gone through 2/3 of Mr. Wolsky's book and have probably 4-5 completed projects with FCP X. However, there have been some FCP X updates since the book was written.
    I will be filming a concert for a friend, and have learned how to create and edit a multi-cam clip.
    My friend wants a recording of the complete concert, and in addition to the complete concert, he also wants individual songs from the concert separated from the complete show as "stand alone" files.  He wants to be able to upload these "stand alone" song videos to his own website, so I was going to deliver the edited files of the complete concert, and files of the individual, edited songs on a external hard drive. 
    I'm using consumer-level cameras (Sony CX 700, Sony PJ710, Sony HC9, iPhone) recording at 1080.
    My question is, what settings/options should use to share the finished video so that he can upload them (from his PC) at the highest quality?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    …  It there some kind of generic HiDef QuickTime format that is somewhat "universal" to both platforms?
    I'm delivering my son's weekly game-reports to the soccer-moms & -dads on various platforms - incl. Xbox/PS3 as media-players. 'My' universal format is 720p as h264.mp4.
    so, my workflow is:
    • exporting a master-file (for future use, the 'raws' get dumped after a year), which is actually 720p - not fullHD, for two reasons: a) I hadn't the recording equip until now, b) some device stumble with higher bit-rates 1080p makes neccessary
    • open the file in MpegStreamclip, go straight to save-as, and in the drop-down I choose mp4 - this 're-wraps' the file into a mp4 media-wrapper without lossy re-encoding
    ==> the resulting mp4 is fully compatible on all platforms I know of.-
    note:
    I'm still not fully aware of the various 'new' export options since vers06 of FCPX … esp. the 'package' option, which allows multiple exports within one click, is tempting, although I assume, my brave ol' MacMini will start choking on so much encoding
    a friend of mine owning an i7 iMac blows me away when hitting Export - actual hardware makes a difference
    mov asks for Quicktime-for-Windows on PCs - which some Windows users are hesitant to install.
    proRes is a MacOS-proprietary format .... and is a lil' 'bloated' for exchange.
    so, h264 is universal (since YouTube), mp4 is 'more universal' than mov

  • General question about Marketing Module (OBIEE)

    Hi.
    I'm trying to deploy OBI Marketing functionality integrated with Oracle Siebel CRM.
    I have set up sample preconfigured rpd and marketing data, provided by Oracle:
    +>EnterpriseBusinessAnalytics.zip+
    +>OracleBIAnalyticsApps.rpd+
    The point is that in preconfigured rpd all Qualified List Items use Oracle Data Warehouse Connection Pool. But in my case I do not have ODW deployed. I have only one data source - Siebel CRM DB.
    And My question is..
    What is the most popular practise when deploying Siebel Marketing Module (OBI)? How do you decide whether to use preconfigured rpd or to deploy your own one when deploy siebel marketing functionaluty? And how much is it performable to use preconfigured repository and metadata? Is it always applicable to use it?
    Thank you and regards,
    Alex.

    You want to run Segmentation against the OLTP tables? Impressive! Make sure you have a good explanation for the CRM guys for every time their database dies.
    The most popular practice is to actually use an analysis-oriented database rather than a transactional one. Parsing a couple of million S_CAMP_CON records with an 8KB blocksize isn't fun.
    The decision between preconfigured and custom rpd boils down to this: how much of the standard functionality are you actually using and how much has been customized? If your segmentation criteria don't match the ones inthe preconfigured rpd at all, then you'll need to add to it or just drop it if you really have nothing in common with the OOB one.
    That said...there's still the DWH part. And there I really wouldn't suggest building your WH from scratch. Add to the existing, modify it etc.
    Cheers,

  • Satellite L20-101: Question about memory modules mixing PC2-4300 and PC2-4200

    Hello
    I have Toshiba Satellite L20-101. It has onboard 512MB RAM (PC2-4300). Today I added another RAM module but this new module is PC2-4200. Is there anything wrong doing this? Both modules are DDR2 and 533MHz and 512MB.

    Hi Pawel,
    In principle there is no problem with mixing RAM modules of slightly different types but normally the total RAM will only run at the speed of the slower module. If your notebook recognises the correct amount of RAM from both sticks then there will ne no problem.

  • Question about output through the DVI port

    The problem: I am using a DVI to HDMI cable to send video to an AV receiver. The AV receiver strictly only accepts a DVI-D (Digital) signal. Upon turning it all on, the MacBook Pro screen reloads and appears to be sending video out, based on the AV receiver's model name appearing in the Display's menu bar. The receiver however reads "No Signal". Most likely this is because the MBP's dual-signal port is giving it problems (it can send both analog and digital).
    Is it possible to elect to send a digital-only signal? The cable itself does not include the extra pins for analog, so I'm not sure why it would think it is.
    Keep in mind I'm not entirely sure this is the problem, I just have confidence in this theory.

    Hi,
    Conventionally it is not possible.
    If u can compromise to some extent its is possible. Check below code.
    U may have to give one check box in selection screen/Push button in output list.
    Based on the selection(In case of check box)/Click(In case of push button) u can download the data.
    U have loop through ur itab and modify that value by concatenating the special character '
    But it will also be downloaded to excel
    If u don't understand what i am saying just copy paste below code and see whether it will be fine.
