Thanks, I did come across that and incorporated the metadata into my database. ... View more

So after going back and forth in this tedious way, between CS6 and CC, I got to the point where in CC, after adding all the metadata I wanted, a search for movies without descriptions turns up none.  They all have.  In CC, a search turns up about 7 with no metadata, some with no thumbs.  I wonder if pressing control and shift before reopening and clearing cache will help.  I do so and it looks at first that only folders have no description.  But then 20 movie files appear with no icon, playability or metadata.  since previous attempts to problem solve also involved resetting preferences before opening.  I go and increase the cache from the default to 500K.  No change is the result.  I use a metadata extractor to pull out all the data into a text file, which I can then manipulate till I import into my MSAccess.  But when it runs into a file with no description, it stops on that file and shows no more despite having metadata.  After going over all the movie files and playing to see what data I what to add, now I have 20 more with no clue to what they are even again.  I will have to do a metadata extraction on all that have description, go back and manually play in media player to add those that this bug-ridden program keeps screwing up.  Unbelievable the amounted of time wasted with something supposedly for professional use. ...

Just updating recent files.  In CC a number of movie files show or would not accept metadata.  I go to CS6 and only a few are lacking some data.  I add the data and no movie files are shown lacking any desired data, except one beetle lacks a description.  the NEFs have the scientific and common names, but are not visible in CS6.  I go to CC and copy the description, but I can't paste into the one movie file because it won't accept data.  I go back to CS6 and paste the name.  Back in CC only 2 files now show with no metadata.  I add some more data that there is a mating pair to some others, and they lose all their metadata.  This is a corrupt awful program that I am wedded to because of the years of investment of metadata that is not like midi data in music, won't show in other programs even lightroom I think.  Here is a screen shot of a series of Cicadas shot recently.  NEFs have the right date underneath.  Movies, now lacking thumbs have a date from 3 years ago.  they are in order of taken. ...

Clearing the cache, compacting, purging, reseting did not help.  These files are destroyed and won't even open or play in Nikon view NX-i.  This happened because Bridge frequently assigns a wrong date to movie files, which may be years past.  I checked my database and corrected some dates, and the thumbnails turned to icons and are no longer playable in Bridge, Windows media, Premiere Pro or Nikon view NX-i. The latter says that the size is too small and must be at least 160x120 pixels.   I have checked other movies where Bridge gave a date years past or a camera lens not owned in a decade and View NX-i has the right data.   Lately Bridge has been giving the right date but the wrong time.  So I'll have a mix of NEFs and MOVs taken in the afternoon and all the movies have times in the hours of 10 or 11 pm or even the next early morning.   This defective and dangerous product should have never been released to the public in such a bug-ridden condition, and it is outrageous that people get good salaries and Adobe extorts so much through it's subscription scheme.  I may be able to recover some of the most recent corrupted files from a backup, but I don't know how many were ruined before and the backups were overwritten already.       ...

I went to file and new and saw I could add new sequence, but I didn't see any selection with 3840x2160, so thought I couldn't do it.   but on closing that I noticed 'from clip' and used that on the first one and it came in at the right size whether played or stopped.  I then copied what I did from the other sequence and pasted.  Just what I needed, rather than starting over, thanks! ...

Well I do hate doing that, as it sets so many things the way I don't like, but doing so did get them to load faster.  So I wonder what was bad before - that I like to see the date and file size under the thumb, that I like a lot of history states, that cache sizes were increased during the on phone help, trying to solve other problems,  that I don't like a whole lot of extra stuff showing in the metadata side panel?  As I try revert to my own remembered preferences, I will note if this builds up again,  As this is a drastic nuisance, I wish there was a more specific solution, but I've done it now, thanks.   ...

So following the procedure, I would normally do of looking at the full screen image and rating and going on to the next, which would normally average a second or 2 per image,  waiting for the images to fully load to the crop, in 3 minutes, I did 8 images. or ~22.5seconds per image, 10 to 20 times as long, on hundreds of images.  How efficient is that?   ...

Yes I wish I hadn't forgot, as it would have saved me a lot of typing. I am unclear on your meaning.  I can creat a new sequence without a new project, and copy what is in the project, with the trims done so far, into that sequence?  A new timeline? ... View more

Because this is CS6, maybe the answer is no. Going to sequence settings, I see no custom.   The clips are 3040x1960.  The preview is 1920x1080 thus apparently causing the crop cutting off much. I can type 3040 and 1960 in the preview boxes, but it changes nothing and reverts back to 1920 and 1060 when I look again.   To clarify, when the sequence is stopped, the preview overfilles the frame so much is not visible.  If I play the sequence, then it shows as a normal size. If I change the scale under motion, to 50 instead of 100, then the preview will fill the frame, but the playback with show a crop with large black edges.    So in the first case an export will be of the preview size, and it will be cropping out much.  Hard to edit when half the picture is missing. In the 50% case, it will preview with the clip correctly filling the frame, and export thus but playback will show a reduced view with large black borders, making it hard to see what needs editing.   In either case no stailization can be done because the parameter don't match, so it seems I will have to abort, and import starting over with the desired parameters to match the sequence. ...

I wonder how to do that. ... View more

Not following touching.  I make space for it to expand if slowing.  If faster, it should shrink. ... View more

Simple enough answers.  I remember trying this long ago and comparing blown up images and thinking there was some loss, but decided to try again. First I had to find the DNR.  On Adobe's site, after searching I found and downloaded DNR 12.1. I saved to desktop, opened and installed and ran. As it seemed it was asking to do a whole folder of images and I just wanted to test, I made a subfolder in a desired target and copied several images to it. (Z7 RAW files, whose images I could see in File Explorer) Back at the converter, I chose that subfolder as source and target. I chose convert and "The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files" I tried extract.  "No embedded originals were extracted" So what is wrong? ... View more

I don't sign out of  CC.  I may have to close Photoshop or reboot the computer, as I would on a trip, as I can't have it running 24/7. ... View more
