How do I get video clips out of menu button?

iMovie 9.0.8  iDVD 7.1.2
I have a 90 minute video with 11 chapters.  I found in "edit" menus something called populate drop zones" and clicked it for main page and two sub menu pages.  When trying to burn,  I got the error message "- There seems to be too much motion menu content in your project. Correct this problem before you continue burning this project."
Fine, I'll take out the damned videos out of the menus....BUT HOW?  There seems to be no way to "unpopulate drop zones"  I tried dragging a photo into the menu buttons without success.
I shouldn't have to start over and wait another hour for iDVD to read my iMovie project every time there is some change to make to drop zone content.

Sounds like Revolution and there's only one dropzone in the top menu.  Type Command + i to bring up the info window for that menu.  The dropzone will be the one in the middle:
It'll be the same for the submenus.
iDVD allows up to 15 minutes of playing time in motion menus.  If you're referring to the buttons for the individual chapters you can change the button type to just text.  Or if the video in the drop zone is longer than 15 minutes just add a still photo to the drop zone instead of a movie.
You can get an idea of  the total menu playing time in the Project Info window:

  • How do I get video clips into Organizer from Elements?

    I have broken my raw video into pieces in elements but can't get it to import into organizer.
    I am using Elements 11 Trial.

    The video is actually a football highlight film for our son and came to us as a single mp4 file with about 60 plays of video on it.
    What I am trying to do is
    1) Cut it down into 60 individual videos (which I did and currently have in my project).
    2) Save the pieces off as individual video clips.
    3) Get the ability to rank/rate each video and select the 25 or so that will make up the final video.
    4) Polish/edit those that make the grade.
    5) Organize and assemble.
    Does this make sense?

I am using Elements 11 Trial.Place the "Work Area Bars" (located on the time line) so that only a "piece" is covered.  Then "Share" to a computer file. Pick a file type that suits your needs.  Be sure to check the box titled "Share WorkArea Bar Only".  Unfortunately, the clip piece will be re-encoded.  PrE11 will do that well, but not perfect because any encoding always seems to loose a little. You did not say what camera you are using.  The software that came with my Sony and Panasonic camcorders is much better for splitting clips into smaller clips.  Some sort of magic is in them where re-encoding does not take place.  The pieces have the same picture quality as the original.   So, when I do what you want, I break it into pieces with the camcorder software, the put the video together in PrE with all the creative tools it offers.  Bill

  • How do I get video clips to play on my iMac account? My wife doesn't have this problem on her iMac account.

    When I try to download and play a video clip at a web site or from an attachment to an email, I get either a blank space or a message telling me to download and install Abobr Flash Player. I already have the latest Flash Player. And when I try the same video clip on my wife's iMac account, the video clip plays perfectly.

    I found the solution to my problem, so now I can play video clips at web sites & attachments to email. The solution was:  "Safari → Preference → Security → check box "Enable plug-in". I got a hint from Troubleshooting on the Yahoo.com web site. Thanks everyone.

  • How can I get video clips dated 12/29/10 and later do not show in view screen. (iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo w/OSX 10.6.8)

    Pre 12/29/10 clips show fine in viewer window but anything more recent does not. Consequently, I don't have any way to work with them. I'm still on iMovie '08. Would upgrading to '11 help? My video clips were entered into iPhoto from a Canon still camera with the ability to take one minute video. The video format is labeled MVI (#) AVI in iPhoto. None of the video clips  run in iPhoto but they all run on my 1st generation iPad!
    Can anyone help me with this problem? I'd like to do a movie of my grandson as well as our new puppy.
    Thanks, Ruth Sumner

    You are only running on 2GB of RAM. IMHO 4GB woud be the minimum to realistically run Mavericks on, although the more the better.

  • How can I get video clips to play in a browser?

    Scenario:  A client visits my Web site.  A shockwave movie plays automatically.  It contains a video clip.  When the SW movie encounters the frame containing the movie clip, it simply skips over it and continues.  The video never plays.  I have tried avi, windows media, mpeg and quicktime with the same results.
    I have found that the video plays fine as long as I open the director movie with Director.  But when I open it with a browser, the video clip does not play.  I have tried Internet Explorer and Firefox browsers.
    Does someone know what I am missing to make the video play in a browswer?
    Thanks.
    Dewey

    When the SW movie encounters the frame containing the movie clip, it simply skips over it and continues.  The video never plays.
    Presumably you have code to stop the playhead from moving while the video plays? You might want to post it.
    If you are testing this locally, you need a folder named "dswmedia" somewhere in the path or linked content, like your video file, won't be found. Check the docs for more details.

  • How do you get a clip Out of the trash.

    My imovie quit on me and now my clip is in the trash. Does any one know how to get it out?

    Sometimes third-party iMovie plug-ins and QuickTime add-ons can cause such problems. I suggest looking for and disabling if found.

  • Does anyone know if/how to rotate a video clip?  I shot it so that it is sideways on my computer screen and I cant figure out how to rotate it.

    Does anyone know if/how to rotate a video clip in iphoto?  I shot it so that it plays sideways on my computer and I cannot figure out how to rotate it.  Thanks.

    You can't do that in iPhoto. You'll need a video editor like iMovie for the job.

  • How do i get video out to connect to aprojector

    How do I get video out of my Ipod touch(4th gen) to connect to my projector. I have the correct cable and the projector work fine when connected to my laptop, mirrors the creen correctly But I cannot get an output from my Ipod.Cheers

    hi
    I think I have found the app, I was not seeing  the obvious, so I can now play videos on the Ipod itself.  With regards the cable it is a Dexim unit which plugs into the long Ipod socket on the base.From that unit there is a cable terminated with jackplugs.One end into the dexim unit another into the projector. As I said it worked fine on a 2nd generation, I just played the video on the 2G Ipod and it came thru onto the projector. Hence my thought that it was a setting and/or app on the 4thG Ipod.
    Again many thanks for all your help, at least it is improving my knowledge of Ipod
    Cheers
    PS started with the ipod download guide but the problem isnt addressed hence my plea on this forum.
    PPS I've emailed Dexim to see if just in case the unit  I have isn't compatible with 4thg Ipod for some reason

  • Sony DCR-DVD505 Handycam: Unable to get video clips, audio

    Evaluating Adobe Premier.  Hopefully helpful for other Sony DCR-DVD505 users.
    Objectives:
    1) Get videos from Sony DCR-DVD505 handycam into Premier Elements
    2) Drag and drop various clips into Sceneline
    3) Insert menu markers
    4) Burn DVD
    Stuck in Step 1, getting video from handycam, unable to get video clips (with audio)
    First Try: NO AUDIO.
    The Sony DCR-DVD505 burns a mini-DVD (1.4 GB) while recording.  After "finalizing" the disk, the media may be imported into the computer.  Streaming was supported by Windows XP driver but is no longer supported in Windows Vista.   In fact, Vista Service Pack 2 (SP2) does not even recognize the camera as a DVD drive!  So downgraded to Vista SP1 and used the Sony Picture Motion Browser to import media into computer as MPG files.  Each MPG file is a clip (corresponding exactly to camera record on-off sequence while shooting).  Then opened up Adobe Premier Elements 8.  Used get media to import all the MPG clips into "Organize".  Dragged and dropped various clips...inserted a menu or two and...burned the DVD.  PROBLEM: VIDEO OK, BUT NO AUDIO(?!).  The MPG files on computer play fine (with audio) inside Windows Media Players.  Read all sorts of nonsense about why Adobe Premier (probably old versions) cannot work with "low-quality/compressed" MPG and needs to be a particular type AVI soo....
    Second Try: Capture VOB directly
    Forget the camera.  Insert the mini-DVD directly into computer DVD drive, create a new project and followed directions from  "Lowdown on VOB" http://forums.adobe.com/message/2117743 and "tools to convert to DVI" http://forums.adobe.com/thread/415317.  I loaded the VOB directly and dropped them into  Timeline as advised by the second post (only hitch being the first VOB pertaining to the DVD menu is not recognized and is neither needed).
    However, File > Export is always GREYED out (unusable).  And the status at bottom right seems to be looping on "Background Rendering".  DO I WAIT?  In any case, the whole video is showing up as a single continuous stream and what I want are the clips from the camera?! 
    Then I tried Prism (again as per the second forum post mentioned above).  It simply did something to process 30 minutes of video and crashed in the end without explanation - saying there was an error in conversion.
    Is this AVI conversion even a good idea?  How would I get my clips back??
    Bottomline.  My mini-DVD and imported MPGs plays fine in Windows Media Player.  However unable to extract the camera clips (with audio).

    Dawg, I have the Sony DCR-DVD305, and have been using it successfully for quite a while with PE7, with few issues, once I had a workflow nailed down.
    I believe the 505 is basically the same camera, with some additional features.
    This workflow worked for me in the past so I'll pass that along:
    Sony Browser to PC as Mpeg.
    Mpeg to Windows Movie Maker, output to DV-AVI, taking default settings.
    DV-AVI imported into PE7.
    This should also work for PE8.
    Upon getting Cyberlinks PowerDirector v7, my new workflow changed to this:
    I take the min-DVD directly from camcorder to my PC, and capture the disk via Power Director.
    PD will convert the VOB's directly to DV-AVI Type 2 on one pass.
    I then load this DV-AVI into PE7.
    (PD v7 was pre-installed on my new PC from HP, or it can be purchased from Cyberlink).
    Other options to try:
    Copy the VOB's directly from the mini-DVD to your PC and use Prism to convert these to AVI.
    Or load the VOB or Mpeg into PE, then use that to convert to AVI.
    (Export to DV-AVI with PE8 is done with SHARE/PC, not Export under the File Menu, which is greyed out).
    I've had many issues trying to work with Mpeg's and VOB's when loaded directly to PE with limited success.
    So if you can get it converted successfully to AVI outside of PE, I've found this to be a better approach.
    Post results, if any of this works for you...
    Note: One other thing, if you are working directly with VOB's to PE, especially multiple VOB's from a single DVD, you can encounter out-of-sync issues between video and audio. If this occurs, review this link from Muvipix:

  • How can I get Video Recording! on my Blackberry curve 8320 ???????????? HELP PLEASSEEEEE

    Hi, Im a bet stressed out i just got the blackberry Curve 8320 from Tmobile and realized it has no Video recording however the person that sold it to me says they downloaded a program like a converter or something and they used to have video recording on it.  Can you please tell me how i can get video recording on mine Please. Thank you.

    to use video you need an upgrade. The name is handheld device software OS. I believe you have 4.2. 4.5 is required.
    You have to wait for TMobile to release the 4.5 OS.

  • I inserted  SD card into CD slot how do I get it back out

    Inadverdently inserted SD card into CD slot how do I get it back out help please

    Happened to me too. Just before I went on holiday and I was clearing off my SD card for my camera. I left it there until I got back (having to buy a new card at the airport) then did a quick search. Found this clip on youTube featuring an L-shaped piece of cardboard trick which worked perfectly for me on second attempt.
    You've got to really blame Apple for the design of the machine when you consider the sheer amount of people who have made this mistake. At least I won't make it again.

    I dropped my iPod 5 in water and it says that I have my headphones in but I don't how do I get the water out often headphone hole ?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price                  
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

  • How do i get a cd out of my mac pro

    how can i get a cd out of my mac pro

    Keep the (left) mouse key down while booting.
    Use Disk Utility to eject the drive.
    Try eject key on your keyboard.
    There should also be a little hole in the front of the DVD player where you could insert a paper clip (last resort).

    I have windows 8.1 and the latest version of flash player. I'm getting audio but no video (it just displays a green screen.) How do I get video?

    Thanks but I found my problem. It was easy oncew I found out the flask player was also called shockwave. My shockwave add-on was disabled. I'm not certain what caused the condition. I was good one day and not getting the error messages the next day. But, I know what to look for in the future if it reoccurs. Thanks again.
