Q: Aperture reprocesses previews for all videos every time I open it
Hello,
I use Aperture to organise all my videos shot on Canon 7d and an old HD Cam (705 vids, 381GB). Whereas my stills are stored in the aperture library, the videos are imported into eparate folders named after each project inside one master video folder.
I do this because it is an easy way to work with all of them in FCP (X), importing them without moving them, keywords from the folders coming across (and also because FCP used to incorrectly display the meta data- date and time imported shown as the file's creation details, when accessed via the aperture library menu from FCP, this bug has probably since been corrected)..
After restoring from a time machine back up recently, Aperture now reprocesses previews for all 705 movies every single time I open it, reboot or not. It doesn't hang on any particular file or crash but (as it's a mid 2010 MBP) simply slows Aperture down below useable for a few mins until they are done.
Post import processing set to camera previews, new projects always create previews ticked.
What am I doing wrong please? Should I attempt to fix the database?
Best
Ben
