Placing chapters out of order

Possible? That is, I have 12 chapters, and I want them divided between two scene selection menus. However, rather than 1-6 in one and 7-12 on another menu screen, I want odds and evens: 1 ,3, 5, 7, 9, 11 on one, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 on the second. The reason for this being that, though the scenes progress in the movie in chonological order by number, they fall into two different subjective categories, and I'd like the scene selections to have them by category.

Well, answered it on my own: it's as simple as cutting and pasting between the different menu screens. I guess I was looking for changes to make in the document map.

  • Podcast chapters out of order

    My downloaded podcast chapters are appearing out of order in my library.  I am unable to manipulate the menus or the "get info" data to reorganize them back into numerical order.  Very frustrating when trying to listen to several chapters in a row.

    Podcasts are connected in iTunes via a hidden tag field called ITUNESPODCASTURL, the order is then controled by ITUNESPODCASTID. I use mp3tag to edit these when I feel the need and a script I wrote called UpdateTagInfo to get iTunes to notice the changes.

  • Audio book chapters out of order.

    I have been having this issue for years with no resolve. I import audio books into itunes, and they are in order.  I then move them to my ipod and they are out of order. ANY HELP?? PLEASE? I see people have posted this problem all over for years but I see no resolution.

    I had the same problem as you and what was causing it was that the sort fields were not the same for each track.  So the tracks that had the same info in their sort fields were grouped together when they transferred to my iphone.
    I know that might not make things clear.  Here's what you can do to fix it.
    In itunes, select all the tracks of the audiobook, then hit Command-I to open up the Get Info/Multiple Item Information window.
    There should be four tabs: Info, Video, Sorting, Options.  Click on the Info tab first.  Any fields that are empty are either fields that were never entered when you burned the disc OR they could be fields that are not the same for each track.  If it's the latter, that will be a big problem.  The only fields you want different between tracks are the "Disc ___ of X" and "Track ___ of X" fields.  The fix here is to put in something into each field.  But don't hit "OK" yet.
    Next click on the Sorting tab and fill in something for each field because any differences here will also cause you headaches when you tranfer over to the ipod. So fill in information in each field.  Now hit okay.
    If you've done it right, the software will be forced to look at the "Disc ___ of X" field when transferring the files over to your ipod and the tracks will be in the right order.

  • Chapters out of order

    When I put an audiobook from CDs onto the iPod, I put every one of the 39 chapters in order on the playlist. After syncing, the iPod no longer has the chapters in order. How should I correct this?

  • My Audio Books are in my playlist and the chapters are all correctly arranged in my I tunes. I watched it sync to my nano but after it was all done... A few of the chapters were out of order in the nano.

  • The music I sync into my iPod touch is all literally out of order and in the library it's not. Why is this?

    I checked the starting time for songs in the library and on my iPod and they all say 0:00. What I mean when I say it's out of order is for example, the first ten seconds are skipped and placed somewhere in the middle of the song and some other parts are skipped then played later. I didn't have this problem before I updated iTunes for my new iPod, now when I tried syncing onto my old iPod as well, the same thing happens. So there's nothing wrong with my iPod. I want to know how I can fix this on iTunes or if it's just a glitch on my iTunes?

    Something you can try is resetting it all Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings. Or go to Settings > Store & sign out & log back in. Another thing you can do is restore your ipod. This has happened to me but the only thing i did was that i created a new account but try doing the things above i just told you. :)

  • Chapter marker thumbnails getting duplicated, out of order (FCPX 10.1.4)

    Group - I use FCPX to compile home movies of my kids, the pets, etc. I use footage from a Canon HD camcorder and an iPhone 6+. I import them into FCPX, trim, transition, maybe throw in some music, and usually put in 40 or so stills (JPEGS) at the end for a slide show.
    The project I'm working on now is around 2.5h long after editing and transitions. I put chapter markers at the beginning of each scene, and then drag the pin to set a custom chapter marker thumbnail.
    The issue - no matter what I do, I can't seem to get ALL of the thumbnails sorted properly. Meaning, I get one or two out of order, and numerous ones duplicate. I've rebooted, trashed prefs (opt-com start), copied all the clips into a new project and re-rendered, and even deleted them all and manually applied them all again. There are roughly 36 or 37 chapters in this project. I tend to get a different result each time, but with the same general problem.
    Sadly, iMovie worked pretty flawlessly for me, but I thought I'd enjoy the added capabilities of FCPX. The rendering time for this movie on a one year old iMac with 24GB RAM is around 7 hours at 720p, so as you can imagine, it's not been a fun project. I've attached a screenshot of the issue on my AppleTV for reference. I've seen a lot of history with this problem, though many threads proclaimed it 'solved'. I'd disagree. Anyone have any thoughts on what I am doing wrong, or is this just more stellar quality control from Apple?
    PS - Are there any recommended alternatives to FCPX? I'm noticing I use fewer and fewer Apple-branded apps, I'm starting to see a pattern here.... :^(

    Discs are not my top-priority here, but I remember this rules (for iDVD):
    The Rules of Chapter Markers:
    *Make sure no chapter markers are within two seconds of the start or end of the timeline.
    *Make sure no chapter markers are within a transition.
    *Make sure no chapter markers are within two seconds of the end of a transition.
    *Make sure you do not have the "Share selected Clips" option checked when preparing to share to iDVD
    maybe, these rules were not by limitations of software, but by 'standard'?
    If you test it, try to what happens when you 'violate' these rules ...........

  • Final Cut Express occasionally renders audio "out of order"

    I'm running into a very occasional problem, which is just rare and random enough to not be recreatable on demand, and so is proving difficult to troubleshoot.
    In a nutshell, sometimes - not very often - when I render an audio stream it will report an estimate of 6 hours or more for something even as small as a 1-second transition.  This is not a composite or layered video or audio by any means, just a standard cross-disolve/cross-fade (+3) between two adjacent clips.  When this type of extreme estimate occurs, I may find afterward that rendered audio in the sequence has been moved around, sort of like a shell game.  Usually this anomaly only happens over a minute or less of the project.  Trying to describe this, a portion of the rendered audio from one part of the timeline will replace a portion of rendered audio elsewhere -- as if some audio render segments have gotten linked out-of-order.  If memory serves, the displaced audio so far has always appeared earlier in the timeline than it should.  The replaced audio just doesn't seem to appear anywhere.  So far, if I remove the associated audio render files and re-render, it fixes the problem, but I'm trying to sort out what is causing the behaviour in the first place so that I can take steps to keep it from happening at all.  It raises havoc with trying to meet deadlines when I'm stuck re-rendering sometimes entire segments....
    For some details about the environment:
         System is a Mac Book Pro, 2.4GHz Intel core duo, 4GB RAM, OSX 10.5.8.
         I'm using FCE4, importing SD clips for TV production from Sony cameras (sorry, I'm not part of the camera crew, and I can't recall the exact model number of their cameras - they are all the same model though, configured the same, so no known variables from that end).
         The cameras record standard-def MPG (Mpeg layer 2, so yes I convert them before importing into FCE), I convert them using the ffmpeg library.  I tried FFMPEGX, but I find I have far more control over video/audio parameters and combinations with the command-line version.  The parameters I use result in a Quicktime (.mov) file with these parameters: 16-bit integer (little-endian), stereo, 48kHz, DV 720x480 (640x480), Millions (of colors).  FCE is generally quite happy with these parameters, and does not require immediate rendering of the audio or video - unless plugins are applied of course.  As far as plugs, I generally only use the built-in FCE plugs for comp/lim and parametric EQ.  If I have to get much more detailed than that, I'll go to Digital Performer (read on).
         In some cases the audio of the original clips is in quite a bad state, and requires far more detailed restoration than FCE can provide.  As I am primarily an audio engineer, I rely on Digital Performer and friends for audio restoration, exporting from there a new clip, usually duplicating the original video (self-contained), though sometimes I do let DP export a reference movie.  Final Cut doesn't seem to have any trouble with the .mov files exported from DP either way, and this anomaly doesn't seem to care whether the clips involved were processed by DP or not.
         Disk space, memory, and CPU load are all well within acceptable ranges; and with my previous years of experience as a systems admin, I am well aware of the system impact and ramifications of using internal vs external disks, memory allocation, disk filesystem operating overhead, etc.
    As I've mentioned, this is not a show-stopper, I have a work-around to correct it when it happens.  It's just a bit of a bugger *when* it happens, and I really wish I could work out the root cause of it, so that I can take steps to avoid the problem in the first place.  Any suggestions/insight/help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!  :-)

    Thank you for your response.
    Grr.  I had a nice response ready to post, and apparently the system logged me out and wouldn't let me log in while keeping the text.  I'll condense it a bit, since I've stumbled across some additional points to ponder while typing.
    The clip:
    And the sequence:
    Yes, I see that the clip is 16-bit integer and the sequence supports 32-bit float, but this should not pose a problem since modern digital audio processing up-converts smaller sample formats to larger ones on the fly for processing, and exports whatever format is desired at the end.  If this *was* the problem, I should always be off by a ratio of 2:1 on all audio data, but I'm not.
    Additional notes: the system generally has Firewire, USB, and network mounts (all required for my work), and the internal drive (which *is* 7200RPM) is partitioned into a system and a user area to keep audio and video projects out of the system's disk space.  Most main clips for a project are placed on the internal user space for speed, externals hold auxilliary files (stills, adverts, livetype, etc).
    It was at this point in my previous typing that I began to realise that the anomaly seems to begin in sync with some random livetype object.  It then extends a bit past the livetype object, so it's not locked to that object; and multiple instances of the same livetype object DO NOT result in multiple instances of the audio anomaly; it only hits a single instance; and again it usually cleans up when the audio render files are removed and re-processed.
    This leads me to wonder about a possible odd combination of events/processes on the system, and whether or not FCE handles livetype natively or requires a livetype helper (i.e., another process stuffed into the system table).  This sort of external influence would be a transient sort of event, and therefore could easily be out of the way by the time second render attempt is begun - resulting in the "fix" by removing and re-generating audio render files.
    It makes sense to me, but it's still hypothesis and supposition at this point.

  • Clips are out of order when drug to Timeline

    I was working with final cut pro, showing a friend how to use it and ran into a problem that has never happened when I've used it on my machine. We did log and capture, and captured the video. then I went Mark-> DV Start/Stop Detect. From there I selected the first segment and the last segment and drug them to the timeline. once in the time line they were all out of order. Usually they are placed in the time line 1 through 80 or however many there are, one after another. There is nothing else in the time line. When I drug them this time they would be arranged in all different orders. Anyone have any idea whats going on with this?
    Thanks in advance.
    TY

    It goes by the Track # field, as seen in on a list in iTunes.  So, make sure the Track # field is correctly entered for each song when you review the album on a list in iTunes.  Also, make sure the Album field is entered identically for all the songs on the album.
    You can edit those fields by doing a Get Info on a song, and going to the Info windows's Info tab,

  • Audiobook files out of order

    Hi,
    I have spent probably three hours on this help site, first figuring out how to classify an audiobook I burned as such on my iPod (which I did), but now the files are out of order - it starts with Chapter 23 then goes to Chapter 9, Chapter 14 and so on. I have tried EVERYTHING and read all relevant posts I can find on this site. It's driving me nuts.
    I have re-numbered the tracks/disks by hand and tried having the "part of a compilation" box checked and unchecked. I sort it in iTunes by Album order, but on my iPod it's all messed up. My iPod is not on shuffle. I have re-set my iPod and my computer.
    I cannot believe it is so difficult to get an Audiobook into iTunes and then onto your iPod. Why does Apple make it so difficult? I've already wasted so much time and really hope there is somebody out there with the heart to help me. : ) Sorry for complaining - but it's frustrating!
    Thanks!

    Kristy: I have no experience of audio books...hoever logic tells me to try this.
    Create a new playlist and drag the chapters to the playlist in the order that you want to listen to them. Then update your iPod.

  • When sorting library as "Album by Artist," an album is out of order

    This is really insignificant, I know, but it's bizarre, and I can't figure out why it's happening.
    On one specific album, out of 1370, when I sort my library as Album by Artist or Album by Year, a single track is out of order. It is track 12, but appears at the end, after track 14. No matter what I put as the track number for that track, it will always be placed at the end of the album. It is not labeled as a different disc, album, or album artist, or as part of a compilation, nothing is misprinted, and near as I can tell, the track's info is completely consistent with the rest of the album. I even deleted all the track info for the whole album and manually filled it back in, and it still appears out of order. The tracks DO appear in the correct order when I only sort by album.
    What exactly is going on here? Is this some sort of bug, or is there some data in the track I haven't thought of that will always cause it to appear at the end of the album when sorting as I do?
    Message was edited by: Rollersnake

    OK, putting something in the Album Artist field for the album fixed it.
    Near as I can tell, the track info for the album was inconsistent when I downloaded it, and though I deleted the "album artist" field for the whole album, more than once even, it somehow still registered as being different for that one track. Now when I delete the field for the whole album, it stays in order regardless of sorting method.

  • Expected PO Receipts and scheduled out sales orders

    Hi Guys:
    in MRP Net requirements Calculation,
    for Example  If want Consider Schedule out Sales orders( requested Delivery Date 02/02/2012) which is determined by planning horizon( 6 months 06/30/2012) , Since this sales order is within Planning Horizon it will consider for MRP Planning.
    Is it the Same case with PO i.e Based upon the planning horizon PO will be included/excluded in planning?
    Also if for example my PO is due from the Vendor one PO is due in 03/02/2012 and other PO is 09/15/2012?
    Thanks
    Kodali

    Hi Venkat:
    Expected PO receipts that fall within the planning horizon will be excluded or Included in the calculation?
    I think it should be included otherwise you might be placing additional PO's to the vendor?
    Thanks

  • Song list out of order?

    I've placed my Five Finger Death Punch album on my iPod, but the songs are out of order. Song 4 and 9 are showing as 1 and 2 on the iPod, while on my iTunes it's all correct.

    The albums are alphabetical, but the songs aren't. Otherwise the list would be completely screwed up.
    Song 4 is titled "The Bleeding," while song 9 is "Death Before Dishonor." Song 1 on the album is "Ashes." So it's not a case of alphabetizing.
    I had purchased the singles for The Bleeding and Detha/Dishonor before buying the full album, but I had iTunes delete the duplicate songs when I added the full album to my library.

  • Just upgraded and photos out of order

    WOW, I just upgraded to 11 and all photos are out of order
    in previous versions if I wanted to look at my library (Photos) they would be in order of when they were put into iPhoto, from the 1st to most recent.
    with the upgrade they are all random. Is there any way to get them back in order? as in, the order they were installed into iPhoto?
    thanks

    Earlier this month I tried to ask the same question but not as well. In any case I don't understand your suggestion. When I go to View-> Sort Photos the only options are sort by date, keyword, title or rating and in either ascending or descending order (manual and reset manual sort are grayed out). How does this make the latest added image appear as the last added to the Photo Library. If there is eXIF data, the photo gets imported and placed by photo-taken date in the Photo Library. How do I make iPhoto disregard the eXIF information? I understand I can go to Last Import and then manually change the date the photo was taken, but this is very cumbersome when importing a quantity of photos.

  • Scene Selection out of order...

    I made a movie in FInal Cut Pro and set up Scene Markers. They split up into scenes in iDVD, however the selection is out of order. I'm using 'Reflection White' theme. What happens is when you are selecting through the scenes on the menu it doesn't go in order. Starts with the first one then goes to the bottom, then back up to the top, then to the bottom. Is there anyway to change the order that the DVD will select which next?

    Just catching up with this thread as I have the same problem -- scene selection does not go in the order of the chapters (12) made in FCP and exported as a QT movie. It DOES work on DVD player, but not work on stand alone DVD players (I have 2) through a TV set. And, yes, I tried free positioning to move the scenes around to conform with the pattern iDVD seemed to want but that didn't help either. The pattern of selection seems random, every time I press on the remote it might go: scene 1, scene 4, next page arrow, scene 2, scene 1 and so on. And it seems to differ from one burned DVD to another.
    HELP! I've been trying to solve this problem for three days.
    Thank you.
