Add chapter markers to a file for upload to iTunes U

I have a 30 minute programme to upload. It analyses the rehearsal of a piece of music and has about 30 chapter markers to take you to the exact next point in the score. I can export out of FinalCutPro 7 with markers - but how do I keep them in when encoding for iTunes U? I have Compressor 3.5.3.
I assume as this is a place where people are communicating complex things requiring close scrutiny that this issue has been addressed, somewhere, somehow, by someone??
Would be great to hear. Thanks

This is definitely not the behavior I see. When I left click it adds a marker,
When I right click, I see the following
Do you have any OS hacks installed on your computer or have you changed the mouse behavior in system preferences: mouse? If not, I'd suggest you run digital rebellions preference manager and reset your dvdsp preferences.

What is the difference between: "Place..." or "Add files for Upload..."?

Where can I get information about the detailed differences between the commands "Place..." and "Add Files for Upload..." of the Files menu?
Understand that in both cases the files are linked and not embedded. But what further differences are there?
I came across this issue because widget 039 (Animated Image Rollovers) from MuseThemes works only if you use the "Add Files for Upload..." option.
Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
There are a few differences in both the options-
Place is used to add content to page (rendered) while Add Files for Upload... is used to upload files to your site but not on page (not rendered).
Placed images are published to /images folder on the server while images added using Add Files for Upload... option are published to the /assets folder on the server.
Placed images have a chance of getting renamed (if resized/interpolated in Muse) upon publish while images added using Add Files for Upload... retain their names.
Place can be used to add limited file formats like jpg/png/psd/swf/oam etc while you can upload almost any type of file using Add Files for Upload...
You don't see Placed content in the Hyperlinks dropdown for linking while files added using Add Files for Upload... show up in the Hyperlinks dropdown so that you may link to them and allow download.
Both serve different purposes and Add Files for Upload... is preferred by Widget Developers because it gives more control over uploaded content and assurance that file location and name will be as expected.
Hope the above give you clarity on the basic difference.
Cheers,
Vikas

For what reasons would you not be able to add chapter markers to a project?

New to this...I will try to give you the detail you need to answer without giving you a long story. I am actually asking this question because I have a video production company working on my wedding video..they are using iDVD to burn but I am not sure if they are using iMovie to compose or some other software. Anyways, this is actually the second time around with my video. They produced it 18 months ago and it looked beautiful! The only problem was that we realized 10 months later that there was an audio problem with the wedding ceremony. In the meantime, the person who originally worked on the project left with the software and the equipment. So, they had to start over and have been working on the redo since February and I think I am the iDVD "test rat". They are telling me now that it is not possible to add chapter markers to the project in iDVD. And this is part of the e-mail they sent me with a supposed explanation:
+I took your corrected DVD to the Apple Store and the training expert explained to me that this program only shows each chapter at a time and the program will automatically go back to the menu after each chapter+.
From what I have been reading on the discussion boards, the only reason that adding chapter markers would not be possible is that they are using iDVD '08 (since they purchased the software in February, I don't think this is possible) or that they did not use the original wedding tape to create the new DVD project..they used the already broken down video segments from the 1st DVD and just put them in menu folders??? Any help or explanation would be GREATLY appreciated! If there is any additional information you might need, I will do my best to provide it.
THANKS!!!

Hi cooperjb,
Welcome to apple discussions. iDvd is consumer authoring software. DVDSP on the other hand is part of FCS 2 / apple's top of the line / professional DVD authoring software. There are some significant (huge) differences between the two apps which I won't go into great details here since I could likely fill a text book on this very subject. Instead you can search this forum/s for a few prior posts as well as apple's knowledge base (KB) for further details on exactly why pros prefer to use Apple's FCS 2 as opposed to the i-Apps.
As much as one may want iDvd to act and perform exactly like Professional Software, It is not. It's intended for consumers (and prosumers).
On a less serious note, this one's always good for a laugh:

ADD FILES FOR UPLOAD - IMAGE PATHS DO NOT WORK IN WIDGETS

Hi There
I'm trying to add my own images to a widget I bought from Qooqee - the Wrapper_v2 image slider. But when I try to add my own images with the image path it doesn't work. I've tried adding the image with 'Add Files for Upload' - and then using the full path which I get from right clicking on it in the assets panel - but it still doesn't work.
Most of the widgets require you to either specify the image path, or an external URL. I do not want to use a third party image hosting site to get URL's for every image I want to use on the site - so I just need to know what I'm doing wrong with the Add files for Upload - why do my file paths not work in the widgets?

Provide the name of the program you are using so a Moderator may move this message to the correct program forum
This Cloud forum is not about help with program problems... a program would be Photoshop or Lighroom or Muse or ???
Also, you need to ask for help from the widget maker

HOW TO ADD CHAPTER MARKERS FOR IDVD

how do you add chapter markers for iDVD import?

FCP does not have that capability. You can add chapter markers in Compressor, but that would be another recompression step, and you can dd them in GarageBand. Perhaps it might be best to add them in iDVD. Can you add them in iDVD?
It would be an excellent feature request to have them in FCP, though I'm not sure how they would implement it.

How do you add chapter markers to your podcast?

Does anyone know how to add chapter markers to a podcast so that listeners can skip to the section they are interested in? And how to change the artwork as the chapters change?

In Garageband 3 - you can build the enhanced podcast right in the Garageband - No more need for Chapter Tool Me.
If you are looking to add chapters to a MP3 file with a Mac or PC, the only thing that comes close is a service called Audio Merge.
http://www.audiomerge.com/
but this is only if the person is listening from a Web Browser.
But at least it is a way to do something now if you are on a Windows machine.
There are also some other neat features - You can add Polls, Comment Feedback. This works for Audio and Video.

IDVD will not allow me to add chapter markers

When I made my iPhotos into an iMovie and then sent it via Media Browser to iDVD, it will not allow me to add chapter markers and there are no buttons visible for play movie or scene selection. I am using iDVD 7.0.3.

After you place chapter markers within iMovie, you don't want to use the "Share to iDVD" option... Instead, click on the Share to QT (or media browser) option. Next, within iDVD, insert your movie file from the media browser section of iDVD, and all your chapters would be recognized correctly by iDVD. When you directly share to iDVD, it creates an auto-play movie, so you don't get to see the menu, until the movie plays completely.
Two bugs exist with iDVD: one, if you change your movie later, iDVD fails to update the chapter markers correctly. Second, you can no longer use your mouse to change the static images for the chapters (Another poster on this forum discovered a workaround for this using arrow keys instead - pretty ingenious find!)

How to add chapter markers to every clip in a timeline?

Is it possible to add chapter markers to every clip in a timeline without going 1 by 1? I have over 1,000 clips in the timeline and I need to add a chapter marker for every clip.

I'm not sure if this will help you or not. I've been using Compound clips, and I wanted chapter markers at the start of each compound clip, with the text in the marker set to the name of the compound clip.
I developed a keystroke workflow to do this, then used an application called "Keyboard Maestro" to record the keystrokes and reply them each time I press a hotkey. I had to add some timing delays, but once I did, it works great. All I have to do is press the hotkey, and it moves to the start of the next clip and adds the chapter marker. I even created another keystroke that does this 10 times in a row, so I only had to press it once for each 10 clips (because of timing issues, you can't just press the hotkey 10 times quickly).
If you're interested in more details, I can supply them, but I won't bother unless this sounds like something that might help you.

What Software Do I need to add Chapter Markers

I've got a 55 min QuickTime movie file that I'd like to simply add Chapter Makers as well as setup a Chapter Menu selection at that beginning.
Also, I'd like to be able to render this file to a format that will playback on any DVD player.
To be able to edit/sweeten the audio and/or video is not a priority....I'd just need to add chapters so to divide up this one-long-movie into...well...chapters.
What software do I need that will do this?
Thanks.

You can add chapter markers using Quicktime Pro if you don't need to edit the movie.
You can find detailed instructions in the Apple document Chapter Tracks.
These instructions teach how to add a chapter track, containing your chapter titles and timecodes, to an existing quicktime movie without using iMovie or FCE or other editing software. No codec, compression, or conversion is applied to your video and audio, which are left alone. Only a new text track with adequate formatting is added.
A few additional notes:
- you need Quicktime Pro (30$)
- you must correct a couple of points in the Apple instructions:
a. in step 3. you have first to +enable the text track+ in the Property Window of the movie, and then you can use the Text to Text option in the Export Menu (otherwise no Text to Text option is made available).
b. step 10 must be corrected as follow: +"Open Show Movie Properties from the Window menu, choose the *Video Track* ( not: new text track). Choose Other Settings then choose your Text track in the Chapters popup"+

Is there any way to add chapter markers running Mavericks? Is there a reason they have been stripped out the new OSX?

Depending on your choice of workflows, it appears you can still
1) Add chapter marks manually with QT 7 Pro,
2) Add chapter markers graphically using GarageBand,
3) Use a video editor to set chapter markers graphically,
4) Use a DVD conversion/burning app to set specific or add equi-interval chapter markers, or
5) Use a media/device player that adds playback only chapter makers when no chapter track is embedded within the file.
What kind of chapter markers are you referring to here? Mine are not "stripped out" during normal use but can be automatically removed during various conversion workflows.

Adding chapter markers in a made for ipod video?

Hi
Can one add chapter markers to a video compressed for ipod viewing, so as viewers can skip to different sections of the movie?

Yes, you can add chapters to any supported video through QuickTime Pro. However, I am not sure that these can be noticed within iPod. To add chapters in QuickTime Pro 7.0, see this article: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/chaptertracks.html

What flash player to use on iPad 2 that is similar to Adobe Flash Player? Need this to choose files for upload of assignments to my online university. I started my profile using my iPad 2 and couldn't choose a picture to upload as well. Hmm

There is no "flash player similar to Adobe Flash Player". Flash is a proprietary Adobe product. There is currently no version of Flash for iOS.

Can't select files for uploading through Flash Player

I can only say that this seems to be related to Flash Player, but I'm not 100% sure exactly what the cause of the problem is.
On most sites that uses a Flash uploader it won't allow me to select files for uploading. When I get to the Select A File dialogue box
all files are greyed out. This happens in Chrome, Firefox and Safari. I'm using the latest version of Mac OSX. I can't seem to find
any information about this anywhere on the web.

Make sure Java and Javascript are both turned on in Safari Preferences/Security.
