Collect project without changing the file structure?

Hi all, anyone know if there is a way to collect a project without overlapping of images in a folder (film)? I organize my pictures in a folder with the files to the appropriate subcategory, I work, but like to use collect in order to reduce my folder of images at the end, as often, I have tons of items to choose from that I, or items left behind by the previous revised project, in the end, States I always end up with a folder of images in a folder of images. (I know that I have worked with all my images to the same level as my project, but what a waste.) I don't work that way.)  How other to face this? Looks like there must be a simple way that I'm not aware of. Thank you for your comments!

If you just want to clean up your ASP project so that only the images used in the project remains in the project Panel, then simply use the Reduce function. The collect function has no option to recreate the same folder structure you have in the AE project Panel.

If you want to manage the content of your files by removing the assets then you must use the collect function and then find a way to reorganize the structure of your file on your hard drives. I only use the collect function when I say someone to work on a project that has been approved. If they have access to the original images I'll let worry about duplicates on their own system.

For all of my clients, all assets (videos, photos, pictures, scripts, notes, project management, billing - everything to do with this customer) go into specific folders and the original documents and the revised documents are never deleted. I have a carefully designed project of numbering and system files I used for many years going back to my days of working with film. Basically I have folders arranged like this by job under each customer number so I can watch my logs of project or an invoice or an e-mail with the project included number and go directly to resources for this job years later.

  • Docs

    • Invoices
    • Scripts
    • Production notes
    • Search
  • Video
    • The original film Date data / scenes
    • Intermediaries / scenes
    • Rendering of effects / scenes
    • 3D rendering / scenes
  • Audio
    • Production date / scenes
    • Scratch titles
    • Audio processing / scenes
  • Project files
    • After Effects / scenes
    • First / scenes
    • Illustrations
      • Air currents
      • Approved

You get the idea. Personally and I learned this the hard way, I have never intentionally remove any work product or communication that I used to create any work for any client, I just organize files in a way that puts all the work approved in the approved appropriate folder and that the customer has access to the work approved.

  • Is there a way to change the names of folders in waiting lists without changing the name of the original file?

    Hello

    I was curious to know if there was a way I could change the name of a folder on my list of added items leaving the name of the original file untouched. I work in an accounting firm that shares all of our records on a single server, and we can't rename an any of them like all the world has its own shortcuts and what not on their individual computers. For example, some of our files are separated into folders by file type, exercises and billing periods, like this:

    Billing applications

    EXERCISE 14-15

    Period 1

    Digitized invoice copies

    EXERCISE 14-15

    Period 1

    If I have two folders period 1 has performed the fallen on my desk, they are both the same labeled, but I would like to I know not what specific folder, I work in rename them. Is there a way I can rename the folder on my list of items added on my desktop without changing the name of the file in its original location? I know that I can hover over the name of the folder to get the exact location of the file, but when I work quickly, it becomes a bit cumbersome to do this for every file, especially when I need to have several folders (at least 10) pinned.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    You can create the path of the shortcut for them and name it as you want.

  • Create a mov mp4 file without changing the dimensions

    I'm working on a project for InDesign that has out of DPS.

    I take screenshot movies that are saved to the default mov format. These movies are 700 px x 400 px. This cannot be changed.

    I need to convert the mov to an mp4.

    I got SOUL but I'm confused as to how to set the output settings.

    I don't want to change the dimensions.

    What setting will convert the mov to mp4 without changing the dimensions?

    MPEG4 is one of the formats that has relationships between parameters called constraints. Specifically, the image dimensions and speed are limited by the profile and level. Here are the steps to set the dimensions of your choice:

    1. Open the export for a job settings dialog box
    2. Play in MPEG4 format
    3. Click on the video tab
    4. For Advanced Simple profile
    5. Game from level to level 5
    6. To the right of the width of the frame and the height of the frame, click on the chain link icon to dissociate the width and height
    7. Set the width 700
    8. Fixed height 400
    9. (optional) Change other settings such as Frame Rate and Bitrate as you wish.
    10. (optional, but strongly recommended for future practical reasons) click the button Save preset right of the Preset control in the upper right corner [CS5.5 and before the button icon is a diskette; in CS6, it's an arrow pointing down to a rectangle, which I assume is a disk drive.] Enter a name for the custom preset in the dialog box that appears, and then click OK.
    11. In the export settings dialog box, click OK (if you opened this dialog of the SOUL) or queue (if you started the Organization).

    The preset that you saved in step 10 will appear in the list of presets for MPEG4, so you can use it for future encoding jobs. If you have the SOUL CS6, custom presets appear also in the section at the top of the new Preset browser.

  • How to import photos from iPhoto to the Photos without losing the date structure

    Hey there,

    Today, I realized that not all my photos to the Macintosh iPhotos Photos last year. At this point, I'm missing about 700 photos.

    Is it possible to merge the iPhoto to the existing photo library library while keeping the structure of date? I tried just to drag some photos but they then imported as if they were taken today.

    If possible, I want to keep the date structure so that all the photos that were taken at the same time will remain together.

    Export images from iPhoto to the Finder, and then import them to Photos.

    File-> edit

    This trick of the user

    https://discussions.Apple.com/docs/doc-4921

    a details of the options in the export dialog.

    Ignore the file date.

    There are two types of metadata involved considering the jpeg or other image file.

    One is the data file. That's what shows the Finder. That tells you nothing about the content of the file, just the file itself.

    The problem with the metadata file is that it is easy to change the file is moved from one place to another or exported, by electronic mail, downloaded, etc.

    Photographs have also obtained the Exif and IPTC metadata. The date and time that your camera broken that the photo is saved in the Exif metadata. Without worrying if that said the date of the file, this is the actual time recorded by the camera.

    Applications of photo like iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Picasa, Photoshop etc. get their date and time of the Exif metadata.

    When you export from iPhoto to the new Finder file is created containing your Photo (and its Exif). The file date is reported - exactly - the date of export.

    However, does not change the Date of the Photo.

    The problem is that the Finder doesn't work with Exif.

    Thus, your photo has the correct date and the file does, but these are different things. To perform a sort on the date of the Photo, you will need to use a photo app.

  • How to start the numbering of the pages on the left side of the spread without changing the layout.

    I'm working on a catalog that must start with page "1" on the left side of the spread. Whenever I put it, the spread moves. I understand books should start on page 1 on the right, but it's what the client asked sadly. I come from a background of Quark where it is easy with no movement to change the beginning of the page numbering. How can I change the page numbering without disrupting the file?

    Thank you

    Serena

    1. Start a new document with page 2
    2. Select all the pages in the page Panel.
    3. In the context menu of the Panel page uncheck enable spreads Shuffle
    4. Double click on the small triangle at the top of page 2

    Hello

    11 g, there are 2 servers for reports that are created by default:

    -rep_wls_reports_myserverhost_formsreportsinstance_1

    The server reports "in-process". WLS_REPORTS must be started, and you can start this 'in progress' report server simply by calling a URL of type: http://application-tier server: port/reports/rwservlet/getserverinfo or using the menu on the site of EM

    -RptSvr_myserverhost_Formsreportsinstan,

    The stand-alone reporting server. You can start using the command opmnctl or using the menu on the site of EM
