Re: [CinCVS] Concatenating projects and keeping labels positions

[Scott C. Frase]

Nicolas,
I've noticed something similar when I added a media resource to a track.
If I add the resource too close to existing labels on the same track,
the labels get removed.  I've gotten around this by putting the
insertion point past the end of the resources on the track and add my
resources there.  I then delete the blank area between the existing
resources with the labels and the newly added ones.  The labels are kept
this way.

hope this helps,
scott

 Hello,

 My project is too large to be edited in one piece. If I set cinelerra to
 use more than 512Mo of memory, it crashes with malloc errors. Anyway,
 that's why I edited it in 3 pieces.
 
 When rendering the project, I need to concatenate those parts together.
 Here's how I do:
 
 - I save all of the projects (excepted the first one) with all tracks
   armed and [ and ] points at the end and at the start of each project.
   That step is really important to ease the concatenation process.
 - I load the first project and select edit labels and edit effects
 - I open the second project, with the Append in new tracks load
   option selected.
 - I insert silence
 - I deselect all tracks, and I go at the end of the project, where I set
   the ] point
 - I load the third project, and so on...
 
 Having all the tracks of the projects armed allows me to quickly move
 the new tracks to the end of the project.
 
 I noticed that method messes the labels position.
 
 Is there a *simple* way to concatenate projects and keep the good
 positions of labels?
 I know a way to do that would be to create new tracks and insert each
 project into those tracks, but each project got around 100 tracks!
 
 Any clue? What I would need is really an Append to new tracks at the
 end load option...
 
 Nicolas.

Assumeing all projects have the same track layout (number of video and audio 
tracks):

1. Fire up each project in its own cinelerra instance

2. Make sure in each one the following is on:
   - Settings-Edit labels
   - Cut  paste editing mode (the I-beam button in the toolbar)
   - Arm all tracks in all projects.

3. Kill Klipper if your build is not up to date.

4. Repeat for projects 2 to n:
   - Select wanted region
   - Edit-Copy (or 'c')
   - Select insertion point in Project 1
   - Edit-Paste (or 'v')

Well, the problem is that I have to merge my projects, and each
project has around 100 tracks. I think there's no way to insert a
project (ie video and audio tracks) at an insertion point... unless
creating the tracks before insertion. =/

Did you try to deselect edit labels in the menu before inserting you
media? I'm not sure that'd move the labels on the right.
