Setting the order of my mov.s in idvd?

editing in the latest final cuts express/ exporting fce sequence to mov.s/ dragging mov.s (currently 3) into idvd "revolution main" box/ adding chapters at 5 min. intervals/ cleaning the silly menus (noxious music, whirling things, 38 minute loop duration)/ burning.
if i have 3 mov.s in the idvd project, idvd chooses the order not me. that's unacceptable. how does it chooses the order and why?
i suppose there's a way to put it all in a single timeline in final cuts express, make chapter markers in fce to delineate the 3 parts of the project, the doing something with even more submenus in idvd then add the 5 minute chapter markers in there. or is there away to do that?????????????????????
none of this is " new apple laptop WORKS RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX"!!!

My experience is that if I drag the movies into an iDVD menu screen one by one, the “tab” order will be the order that I create the movie buttons. By “tab” order, I mean the order in which the buttons will be selected when I use the down-arrow button to go from one button to the next. I assume that's the “sequence” you are referring to.
Last night I figured out how to change the tab order, albeit in a simple case. I had used an old project as a template for a new one. The old project had three movie buttons on the main menu, and a fourth “?” button that opened a submenu containing some “about” text with no buttons. The tab order was
Movie1->Movie2->Movie3->?
I saved as a new project, deleted the existing 3 Movie buttons, and dragged in a single new MovieX. The menu looked fine, with the MovieX button centered in the menu, and the ? button in the lower right corner. But when I ran the DVD simulator, I saw that the tab order was
?->MovieX, so that when the DVD menu first appeared, the ? button was selected by default -- not what I wanted.
I figure I could have just deleted the ? item and recreated it from scratch. I suspect that would have corrected the tab order problem, since the new version would be the last button created. But I was too lazy to retype the About text.
I went into the Map window (horizontal layout), and I noticed that the order in which the movie and About submenu appeared, to the right of the main menu item, reflected the tab order - the About submenu was above the movie. Looking at the original project showed that its 3 movie items were above its About submenu.
I tried just dragging the movie to another position -- that didn't work. Here's what did work -- I selected the About submenu, right-clicked it and selected Cut from the popup. The About submenu disappeared, and the movie moved up into its position. Then I selected the main menu item, right-clicked it, and selected Paste from the popup. The About submenu then reappeared to the right of the main menu, but now BELOW the movie.
Sure enough, when I went back to the DVD simulation, the MovieX button was selected as the default at startup. The final physical DVD also worked as intended.

    I have the latest Creative Cloud versions of Lightroom and Lightroom Mobile on my Ipad. On my desktop I have created a collection which I have put in a custom order. On my Ipad I go into that collection and set the order to custom order, which I presume means the order I have on my desktop. However, the photos on the Ipad seem to be just random photos from the collection THEN the rest of the collection is in the correct order after that.

    Do you have virtual copies in your collection?

  • How can I set the order of search engines on my Macbook?

    When I use "Manage Search Engines" to rearrange the order of my search engines, the order changes temporarily, only to revert to the order the search engine add-ons were installed, the next time Firefox is restarted. How can I set the hierarchy of search engines to suit my preference, and have it stay that way?

    It may be your preferences problem.
    Try to Reset your firefox and try it newly
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

  • How can i set the order of my accounts in favourite folders compact view? the order of the accounts in this view is different from the original order :(

    i set up the desired order of the accounts (tools/options/advanced/general/config editor/mail.accountmanager.accounts) and when i switch to favourite folders compact view (view/folders/favourite + compact view), the order is totally different, hence i dont have the desired order in this view, but i want to use tb in this view, because this is the most appropriate to manage multiple folders, thank you for your help in advance, Joe (win7)

    You could have used this extension.

    I don't think manually changing things via config editor is a good idea. You may reverse those changes before trying the extension.

  • Setting the order of a roll over image in a quiz

    Hi,
    I'm using captivate 4 and having issues in setting a quiz for my students.
    I want to have an icon to roll-over so the students can access information relating to the question, eg, diagrams, tables, graphs etc.
    I have done all this yet when the roll over image appears its order is set behind the question and answers, I need it in front. when trying to change the order, eg bring to front, all the options are grayed out and not available. Is there a way to fix this as I know I cannot use a slidelet in a question slide.
    I have also tried to re-order the question and answer text, but is is also grayed out.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated
    Cheers
    Andrew

    Hello,
    You cannot insert interactive objects on any default question slide from pool or not. You will have to change the action to be executed on Success/Failure. There it is possible to jump to a slide.
    Beware: you can never jump to a slide that is outside of the quiz 'scope'. This scope starts with the slide where you have the first scoreable object, which can be a question slide but also a button/click box/TEB with a score. The scope typically ends with the score slide. So be sure that the slide you want to jump to are in that scope. Eventually you can add a scoreable object (with a low score perhaps of 1pt) like a button or click box to the first slide of your project. If you keep the score slide as the last slide you will not have to worry anymore about the scope.
    Hope this makes sense,

  • Set the order of several states?

    I would like to create a long tutorial animation with several pages (states).
    Is it possible and if?
    How do I select the order in which to display states?
    I don't want each state to have a button for the next state some states should just continue on to the next state.

    Hi Gabriel,
    This is unfortunately not trivial, but here are a few ways to do it:
    A) Create a master action sequence that marches through all the states:
    1.  Put your states inside a custom component. If you haven't used Custom Components before, just select some artwork and choose "Convert to Component > Custom Component". Then double-click the component and start adding states.
    2.  Outside the custom component (in the main application), create a button. This will be used to start the animation.
    3.  In the Interactions panel, add an interaction: On Click > Play Action Sequence. When you choose OK, Catalyst will show the action sequence in the Timelines panel.
    4.  Select the custom component. In the Timelines panel, choose "Add Action >  Set Component State". In the Properties panel, choose the first state.
    5.  Repeat step 4, choosing each subsequent state.
    6.  Space out these "Set component state" interactions on the timeline.
    B) This is a total hack that I just discovered, but it works. You can use a video component to automatically go to the next state after going to one state.
    1.  First, you'll need any FLV video. You should just use an empty one.
    2.  Go to one of the states that should just continue to the next state.
    3.  Import the FLV file "File > Import > Video/Sound File".
    4.  Add an interaction: "On Video Load Complete > Play Transition To State > ".
    C) If you're willing to write some code, you can import your project to Flash Builder and write a handler for the "currentStateChange" event.
    Good luck,
    -Adam

    Hi
    See  Note 381348 - Using user exit, customer exit, VOFM in SD.
    You can read:
    From the organizational point of view the delivery is arranged as follows: an include
    with empty FORM routines is delivered with a release and afterwards may no longer
    be corrected by SAP. This should prevent that a FORM routine which may have been
    adjusted by the customer is overwritten by SAP again.
    and
    Changes to user exits in SD are MODIFICATIONS, since the original of an object
    belongs to SAP (thus when you change a user exit an SSCR registration is also
    required).
    I hope this helps you
    Regards

  • Setting the order of event listeners

    I have a JEditorPane with html formatted text. When the user clicks on a link, I want to determine if it is a right click before sending the hyperlink event. I tried adding a mouse listener before I added the hyperlink listener, but it still calls the hyperlink 1st. How can I get the mouselistener to be called 1st?
    Thanks!

    Thanks, this is what I am doing. I combined my two
    listeners into one class that implemented both
    listeners. I am using boolean flags to check to see
    if both have been called or not. I was just wishing
    there was a better way. I think you actually only need one flag, for the HyperlinkListener. The way I did it was, you combine them in one class like you said, and capture the URL from the Hyperlink event. Store it in a class URL variable, set the hyperlinkSet flag and then on the mouseClicked method check if it was a right mouseClick (to popup some menu etc) or a left click, where you can just set the page to the URL you have stored.

  • Trying to create a book and have sorted 900 photos in manual order...the book application resorts my photos and i have to search 900 photos each time. how can i set the sorting

    trying to create an Aperture book and have sorted 900 photos in manual order...the book application resorts my photos and i have to search 900 photos each time to place a photo. how can i set the sorting to stay in my manual setup?

    1.  If you manually sort Images in a Project, and then create a new Book w. "Include selected Images" checked, your manual sort order will be preserved.
    2.  As a workaround for when you have already created a Book, batch rename your Images with a leading index or counter after setting the order manually.  You'll have to create a Naming Preset, e.g.: "{Index}_{Version Name}".  The renaming should go in the order that you selected the Images, so be sure to select the first one first, and then use "Edit→Select all" to extend the selection to all Images.  Once the Images are in your Book, a sort on Version Name should be the same as the manual sort you created.
    3.  At the risk of stating the obvious, you could create the Book, import the Images, and then sort them.  The Book -- it is, to Aperture, just a special kind of Album -- retains its own manual sort order.  I recommend using Albums this way.  Use Projects to cull and develop Images, and use Albums for output.  Sorting for a Book (or any output) is better done in the container devoted to that output (and not in the Project, which is more general).

  • I am desperate to transfer a file from my mac laptop to my ipad.I was told to use iphoto ,but it scrambles up the order I want the pictures ,how can I move the pictures to the sequence I want?Any help is greatly appreciated :)

    I am desperate to get my photos onto my ipad for a presentation tomorrow.The photos are from different times and dates.When I put the photos onto iphoto they all come out in a completely different order to what I want.How can I arrange this so that the pictures are in the correct order.Thank you for assistance .Delia

    Learn how things work
    files have no order at all  --  the program that views them sets the order  --  in iPhoto you can do this with a number of sorts on the photo data or manually  --  in a file viewer like the finder or windows explorer there are a number of sorts on the file data (not the photo data) that you control - so in the finder you can sort by alpha file name, date or file creation or last modification, size of file, etc
    So having the file sdisplay in your selected order first off involves understanding the difference between file data and photo data, then making a decision how you want them to display in the file system (and verifying that the file system you plan to use supports this) and then use the iPhoto export to create files that will match the sort you want if iPhoto supports this
    the most common way is to display the files in alpha file names order at the destination - so you need to export the files so their file names are in alpha sort order using the sequential numbering option of export

  • How Do You Control the Order That Menu Items Are Selected

    I am using iDVD 6 with the Portfolio Theme (iDVD 5). I created a project with one 15-minutes iMovie project and seven slideshows (created in iDVD).
    In Preview mode (or with the final) DVD, the order that entries on the main menu are selected does not seem to follow a logical pattern. As I try to advance using the right cursor, the second item (horizontally) is skipped. (I have two rows, each with four items). When I have one of the other three items in that row selected, the second item is selected if I hit the down arrow.
    In 'flowchart view' the eight items are in the order I want them to be selected. That is, the item that is being skipped is in the second position on the flowchart.
    Any insight on this would be appreciated.

    I created an iMovie and then exported to iDVD, iDVD used the same sequence as the iMovie. When you build you Movie or slide show it follows the sequence that you place them in the time line. I have a Slide Show movie with video clips in the time line all of the shows and clips play in the order that I placed them. When you move through the menu use the right arrow to move accross the menu and the down arrow to move down to the next row. There is an button to move to the next menu. I have 13 chapters in my iDVD and they appear on 3 menus. Each menu shows 6 buttons you can edit the button titles and reposition them if you deselect the snap to grid and select the other option. When I open my project after exporting the titles overlayed each other. The buttons picted up my iMovie titles so I had to fix them and reduce the type size and move the buttons to separate them. The time line sets the order and the arrow keys move throgh the buttons on you Mac screen you can select with the mouse by clicking the button. On a DVD player you are stuck with the arrows and enter keys on the remote. You may have a glitch in your data check the time line along bottom of your original to see if the chapter markers are in position.
