No way to prevent the dupes in the Premiere project file?

Due to working with the PluralEyes as well as several editors on the same project, I deal with the importation of many XML and PRPROJ in project files existing files I've worked with.

This, on a large scale, is becoming untenable because every time I import work of another editor or a synchronized sequence, I receive duplicates of all my assets in the project. I'm trying to understand if there any way to have first check to see if the media is already imported and that the media in the imported reference sequence? If this isn't the case, I'll only to be big project files with multiple references to the same support, because me and my other editors work with the same media, but for different sequences.

As far as I know, when you import an XML or even a sequence of another project of creation, it creates new key elements for each element used in the imported sequence. It does not recognize that you already have a main part that you use in another sequence which refers to the same media.

So if you want to keep the two sequences in your project, you must keep the two main elements. If you delete a main element of your bin, it won't stay in the sequence that is references to him, he'll cut off, leaving a big smoking crater where there was once. Even if the sequence is not open now. It's one of the things I loved about FCP7. You could remove each of your master clips and your sequence would be totally unchanged. You could even recreate the main elements by dragging your sequence in the trash.

I think that if there is really no way to manage these duplicates, it is a HUGE problem for professionals who work in environments with several publishers. It's not just one "well, learn how to deal with a new editing system" - it's actually a deal-breaker; and in fact the only one I see REALLY preventing first to be the choice of go-to post larger houses. This problem becomes so big, so fast that it is true collaborative editing impossible. In my office, we have three people on a project, all the edition revising segments and pass them back. On FCP7, it's simple as Hello - we have just cut and paste between project files and use basic best practices for version control. First, our project files are quickly turning into nightmares and work is often deleted or lost.

I want to see:

-Smart handling media in the import of sequences and projects. First must look at the location of the file and folder names and try to recreate a link to any media duplicate. If he stumbles, he must ask for help as the PCF.

-A media inspection to the consolidation feature. I would love to see an option for the inspection of your project for media duplicate references. When found, first must consolidate automatically.

-Export of the rationalization sequence. You should be able to export a single sequence. I know there is a version of this in the project manager, but we know all that it should be easier than this!

Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Experience an extreme frustration with this same in CC 2015! Filled a bug report, I hope really that this can be resolved soon!

Hi Darius,.

Please fill your specific frustrations here in a bug report.

Difficult for me to convince major productions to make the transition to first where exist some small stupid things like this again...

You can avoid duplicates in many cases, but you must start each project with a few things in mind, especially if you work in a collaborative environment.

  • There will be a 'master' for each production project in which you are working. This project is read/write.
  • You import other projects of other collaborators via inspect the file of the project through the master project of Media Explorer (you can open several Media Browser and save several favorite media browsers). These projects are going to be read-only.
    • These items may be sequences, graphics, music, etc..,.
  • Before starting work on the main project, make sure that you enable 'Write XMP IDS in the files when importing' in Preferences > media.
    • This will tag each media element with a unique ID, which Premiere Pro allows to follow.
    • Then the application will recognize the duplicate items and avoid their display.
    • If a music video, graphics or other media Reference does not exist in the main project, an attachment point is imported to establish a main element.

You can say "major productions" that it is the method used by the Coen brothers, teams of Assembly and Fincher. If you have any questions, please let me know.

See this tutorial for the workflow:

Thank you

  • Best way to prevent the collection of updated?

    I have a problem/question about the dataGrid control, see code attatched.

    When I click on a line in the lower grid I want to copy the information in the upper grid. I don't want the collection of grids below to be updated when I edit the cells in the upper grid.

    If I use the code attatched and edit a cell, the collection in the grid below to update when I scroll up and down lines (in the lower rack).

    The only way I can stop this update is to set the dataProvider "[{colA: dataGrid1.selectedItem.colA, colB: dataGrid1.selectedItem.colB, teachers: dataGrid1.selectedItem.colC}]" instead of "dataGrid1.selectedItem".

    Is this a bug or what I am doing wrong? It should be a better way to prevent the updated collection. I tried different events at the same time check if/when the collection is updated but no success here. I can't get the function 'preventDefault()' to work.

    Any solution/suggestion?

    Kind regards

    the Sweden newbe...

    You need two independent dataProviders, one for each grid. then you need to do a * copy * of the row of data before put you in the second dataProvider. This is because that just assign the object (selectedItem) will be just a reference to the same object.

    You could use ObjectUtils.copyObject (), or simply create a new Object() and assign the properties and the values for the new object, and then to the second dataProvider addItem().

  • PDM-files: is it possible to prevent the creation of files .tdms_index of LabVIEW and tiara?

    Hello

    is it possible to prevent the creation of .tdms_index files when opening/creating/editing of LabVIEW and tiara a .tdms file?

    I think that I have no advantage in the .tdms_index files, because our applications create many small .tdms-files (repeated measures). With .tdms_index files, we have unnecessary memory consumption and it takes longer for Windows Open the containing folder. Also it s confused when you search for a certain file.

    Best regards

    Daniel

    Hi Acer,

    I'm afraid there is a direct way to disable the creation of file .tdms_index now of LabVIEW and tiara. You can use the API Advacend TDMS in LabVIEW, which does not create an index file, or you can just do a simple programming and remove the .tdms_index file after closing the PDM file.

    This is a request for a long time, we will consider adding this feature for TDMS in future versions.

  • Is there a way to recover the EFS encrypted files stored on an external drive without the origianl certificate?

    Is there a way to recover the EFS encrypted files stored on an external drive without the original of the certificate?

    I had photos/files stored on an external drive and have been encrypted with EFS in XP. The main drive crashed, all keys have been lost. Got a new main drive, installed the new OS and now can't access encrypted files.

    Unless you can retrieve parts of your old drive or have a backup of your encryption certificate, you have probably lost all of your encrypted data.  Recovery agents work only if they are in place when the file/folder is initially encrypted.  A program like AEFSDR might be able to resurrect your old certificate from your old drive if it is readable at all.  If you plan to use EFS in the future, make sure you read the following article the court - particularly paragraph entitled "why you should back up your certificates.

    What should I do to configure my windows firewall to allow network discovery and file sharing of printers and media streaming and sharing?

    Hi stephanie,.

    Thanks for joining us out on Microsoft Community Forums.

    Looks like the Windows firewall prevents the discovery network, files and printers, sharing, public sharing of files and streaming media. We will analyze and identify the cause of the problem.

    You have a third-party antivirus installed on the computer program?

    Method 1:

    To turn on network discovery

    1. Open advanced sharing settings by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type network, click Network and sharing Center, and then, in the left pane, click on change settings for sharing advanced.
    2. click on the chevron to expand the current network profile.
    3. click turn on network discovery and then click on save changes. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide
    confirmation.

    The article below explains all about the network discovery:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/enable-or-disable-network-discovery

    If any of these responses not solve the issue, let us then run the sfc scan and check if any file system is corrupt. I also recommend to perform a clean boot in order to find the root cause of the problem.

    Method 2:

    Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

    b. type the following command and press ENTER:
    sfc/scannow

    The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

  • import of comps that reference the same project files without doubling the size of the ae file?

    Hello, I am currently working on a major project that has me constantly to reimport old comps that reference the same project files. The thing is that when I do this AE re-imports all project again files when it is attached to the computer that I imported. My question is is there a (fast) way to remove references of redundant project in the project tab file, or there at - it another way to import a model without creating this double entry in the project tab?

    Thank you guys!

    Sorry, Yes, you can do this by using the command consolidation (file > consolidate all sequences).

    This will remove all duplicates.

  • A way to prevent the first writing of file extension added to the XMP file names?

    Hello world

    I'm having a problem with the creation of sidecar XMP files that I hope you can help me with. I found that, as a general rule, the XMP sidecar files created in Adobe applications are named the same as the original file, that they are associated with, only with a different extension, for example add metadata about the file IMG1234. CR2 in Lightroom creates the file IMG1234.xmp . However, in Premiere Pro, adding metadata against CLIP1234. MXF creates one CLIP1234. MXF .xmp sidecar.

    We are wanting to use a dam at our office (Daminion) for all our assets (photos, Photoshop and Illustrator files and videos). Ideally, it uses XMP to manage metadata and can automatically recognize the XMP metadata created by Adobe applications - except metadata added by first. In this case, I have to manually remove the first extension in filenames sidecar created by first for Daminion to their affiliation with their corresponding video files. It is a royal pain and prevents any exchange of metadata without seam between the two programs.

    Is it possible to stop the Premiere Pro adds the extension of video to the XMP file format? No other work around?

    Thanks in advance!

    There is no setting for this in PP.

  • No way to prevent "the AC power adapter type cannot be determined" message on XPS M1710? (AC adapter is properly plugged)

    Often, I get the following message between the screens "Dell" and "Windows", when that I start my XPS M1710 when plugged:

    Unable to determine the type of AC power adapter.  The system can start only with a 130 W power adapter or more.  Hit the F1 key to shutdown.  To resolve this problem, try to reconnect the AC adapter.

    This message occurs when the AC adapter is inserted correctly and completely, and that's the Dell adapter supplied with my notebook.  Is there anything I can do (possibly a registry hack) to force the computer to start instead of this message?  Once it gives me this message and I have to press F1 to close it, it takes an extremely long time to go to the "Dell" screen on the chest which follows (1 minute or two).  My battery hold so little cost when that happens, I turn on the laptop when it is plugged in, unplug it when the "Dell" on-screen progress bar finishes, then plug it back when the 'Windows' screen is displayed.

    It is an old laptop and I will soon receive a new, so I won't spend the money to buy a new AC adapter and the battery for XPS M1710, but I'd like to solve this problem, if it can be done otherwise.

    Thank you!

    I used to have this problem until it has just stopped working. Fact of the matter is Dell power supplies are designed for out of normal use. The cable for the tiny pin in the middle is broken inside the brick and was not fixed easily (you'd have to bust open the brick). Horrible design and this officially marks the last machine from Dell, I will never buy. With a registry hack that prevents the audit (ensuring the adapter you are using is Dell to make them more money), adapter is perfectly capable. I have an adapter 130W (XPS L1502X) and because of this my brother (Studio... not sure of the model). Mine came with the laptop at the time of purchase and the power adapter may not be recognized by me or my brothers laptop computer. Now my computer recognizes the cable my brother, but here's the catch: its cable is less common that mine and this can cause serious damage to my machine. When Dell said that it is a "security feature", it is so full of Bull. If that were the case, it would not allow that my brothers cable to go into my machine. Nice one Dell, you have lost a customer and I will make sure that everyone that I go looking for a new laptop does not buy your trash.

    I'm currently waiting on a replacement power brick that I ordered on ebay, so I can charge my laptop once again. Dell will charge you $ 70-80 to do this on eBay it's around $ 30-40 - all avoiding the retail margin.

    I do not throw accusations at Dell for the design of the brick to fail, I'm going off the coast of many positions of electrical engineers who have experienced the same frustrations and have taken it upon themselves to expose this type of scam.

  • What is the best way to deliver the WebHelp output files to the development team in TFS?

    I use RoboHelp 2015 to generate WebHelp output.

    The development team want me to archive files in TFS so that they can pick up the files and integrate them into the build.

    I'm looking for some best practices here because I'm running into some issues whenever I try to check the files back in. For example, I need to manually track the files I added/renamed/deleted in the HR project.

    We discussed the following options:

    • Delete the contents of the WebHelp output folder in TFS whenever I want to check in new files.
      • This works, but doesn't seem to be a very elegant option.
    • Zip the contents of the folder of WebHelp output and archiving/retrieval of this file
      • This works well for me, but the devs have create a separate process to unzip the file whenever they generate a release, they don't care.
    • Check all files in the folder, overwrite the files with the new files, manually add the new files and then check back in.
      • This job very well, but it requires you to manually add the files whenever you check in and also leaves / the legacy of old who were removed from the HR project.

    Someone at - it other ideas about how to do this?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello Mack,

    I think that the decompression of a file is a very simple action to add to a build process, it is perhaps the best way to go. But there are other options as well.

    You can check in sources in TFS and use RoboHelp with source code control. Then you include RoboHelp in the build process so that the latest sources are retrieved from TFS and aid is generated on the server. A nice solution, but still work to implement. I like this solution because I do not store an output is very useful. As long as you have the sources, you can always create new output.

    For developers, it is easier to just add all the files output in a specific folder. And you can automate this option for yourself as well. The TFS and RoboHelp can remotely control from the command line. Meaning that you can create a batch (1) file generates output from RoboHelp. (2) deletes the current aid of TFS. (3) add the new output 1 to TFS. (4) checks in changes in TFS. A single file can automate everything for you. I have used this method in the past, and once it is implemented, there is virtually no maintenance for you.

Maybe you are looking for
