Add track info to video files

after installing the latest version of iTunes yesterday, I can no longer add track info to video files. The fix for the last version of iTunes was to hold shift and select "get info", but that option is now gone. Any help would be appreciated.

iTunes 12.1 has removed access to that older dialog box. Track numbers and disc numbers are available for TV Shows, but not for Podcasts for example. Text fields can usually be edited in the list views. For numeric fields either temporarily change the media kind to one that has access to the field you want or use/adapt my scripts mentioned in your other thread: Re: Adding track number to tv shows on the newest itunes.

How do i make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to put the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. Any help?

How do I make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to convert the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. On windows movie maker you could just select "fit to music" but this program isnt as easy to figure out! Any help?

Double-click on the still image in the project timeline to open the Inspector. In the Inspector, adjust the duration by typing in a new duration to match the length of your music. I think the limit for a still image is 10 minutes. If you need more than this, simply drag the image into the timeline again then adjust its duration. The two images will play seamlessly (no gap will be visible).
See this iMovie Help topic:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a883915
You can achieve more precision when entering durations by changing a preference in the menu item iMovie Preferences. Check (tick) the preference for Show Time As HH:MM:SS:frames. This will enable you to enter the duration of stills down to the frame level, rather than full seconds (NTSC is 30 frames per second; PAL is 25 fps). When entering times, type a colon between each time segment, such as 2:50:15, which represents 2 minutes 50 seconds and 15 frames. For 5 seconds 20 frames you would enter 5:20 and so forth.
Note that the music will only run to the length of the video in the timeline (in your case, the still images). So, after increasing the stills duration you will need to drag the end of the music track as far as required. The stills can be dragged inwards to reduce the duration if necessary.

How to add a locally stored video file to a presentation

Hi all ,
I want to add a locally stored video file to a presentation .What is the url that i need to use..
Ur help is much appreciated
Thanks

The recommended procedure is to create the presentation on the DMM (upload the video to the DMM) then create a deployment package using the presentation created on the DMM. Once you deploy it to the DMP, the DMM will FTP the video along with presentation files to the DMP which will contain the links to play the video that will be stored locally on the DMP.
You may want to review the following thread to see how to trigger the local presentation to play and how to update it later:

Since Prelude doesn't work with Red footage, how can I add logging info to a file in Premiere Pro

Since Prelude doesn't work with Red footage, how can I add logging info to a file in Premiere Pro CS6?

RED footage has a restriction on metadata. We are looking into what it would take to get full metadata support into our system, but you cannot tag red footage at this time.

Am I not able to "batch-add" artwork to my video files?

I have got loads of video files in my iTunes Library, and of course, the default poster-frame that iTunes sets for me on import means nothing to me, so I want to set my own.
It's all very obvious how to do this: right-click > Get Info > Artwork > Add...
But now the issue I have is that I have lots of television series videos, and I want all the videos in the same series to have the same poster frame. Going through them one by one is a very slow process (why does iTunes take so long to accept my new image???) and to me seems pointless if I want them all to have the same image as their poster frame?
SURELY there must be some way to select 20 videos (for example) and add one piece of artwork to them all? No?

I do apologise - I wasn't looking at the Info panel clearly enough.
It's true that you do only get the one Info panel come up when batch-editing multiple items, but what threw me was the fact that there's a small little artwork window in the multiple-items Info panel which is NOT in the single-item Info panel. (For a single-item, the Artwork option has its own panel.)
So I do apologise - that artwork option was there all along - but just much smaller, and in a different place.

How can I add MPAA ratings to video files in iTunes?

I understand Apple prohibits the customer from manually inputting MPAA or TV ratings into the video files centrally stored in an iTunes library, as ripping DVDs is considered illegal. How can I get around this problem? Is it possible to manually manipulate the meta data outside of iTunes?
In this specific case, I would like to share content over a home network also used by children; I have no problem with them watching Harry Potter, but they need to grow a little before they want Dexter or Game of Thrones, but Apple makes this process unnecessarily cumbersome and obtuse.
I assume Apple will never permit this functionality, if only to satify copyright holders as well as protecting profits. However, I live in the Netherlands, and under Dutch law people are specifically permitted to make a limited number of copies of any copyrighted material (for personalI use only obviously, sharing remains technically illegal). The law places a small duty on all blank storage media, from old cassettes up until anything containing a hard drive (including iPod), to compensate artists and copyright holders for potential lost revenues. The total duty collected and disbursed amounts to tens of millions, and I imagine Apple also benefits (if ever so slightly). Therefore, under Dutch jurisdiction, I should be able to manipulate ripped versions of legally obtained video material all I want, as I wholly own the copies (legally). Do other countries/states have similar laws on the books?
The price of doing business globally is that you must adapt to many different legal jurisdictions; other companies do it without apparant problems, Apple should as well.

You understand incorrectly.

What does this have to with ratings?

Don't know why you would assume this at all.
They don't permit nor prohibit it. They don't do anything about it.
How can I get around this problem? Is it possible to manually manipulate the meta data outside of iTunes?
Yes, very easily. You need an application that will allow you to set the ratings. There are plenty of apps around.
-> MetaZ works fine for tagging most info on movies including ratings.
Note that Apple is simply a distributor. They are not the labels/copyright owners. Pretty sure they don't get any money from Stichting Thuiskopie.

"Get info" on video files freezes iTunes for minutes.

When I right click a video file and select "get info", iTunes always freezes for at least 60 seconds. Then it shows the normal tag info. If I change anything and press ok it freezes again, then it works as it should (with the edited info saved properly). This is making it impossibly time consuming for me to organize my TV-Shows to my new iPod.
No issue with audio files, but all mp4 video I've tried so far gives me this issue (from movies of 2 hours to YouTube clips of 10 seconds length).
I have tried reinstalling with the newest version to no effect. I'm clueless, can't find anybody else with the same problem.
+_Help me please._+

This has always been the case for me. I thought it was normal behavior for iTunes.

Video ipod wont add any more MP4 video files?

i have well over 23 GB left on my 30 GB video ipod and for some reason stupid itunes will not add the files to my movies setion of my library. I have the videos in my documents, and i click add file to library, that doesnt work, and when i double clcik the file so it will play in itunes, that doesnt work either! PLEASE help.

Oh, my mistake!
The screen is leaving pixel lines? That sounds like a pretty well damaged iPod.
If restoring/updating hasn't worked, the best thing to do is to request service for your iPod. If it is under warranty, they will do it for free:

Won't add more than 3 video files at a time

I had 22 episodes or a TV show in mp4 format, average size 124MB, to add to my iTunes. When I go "Add file to library" and select all 22 episodes, nothing happens. I search for the files in iTunes and they are not added. If I add 3, not MORE than 3, at a time, everything works fine. Is there an add limit? Why?

In what program? What model mac? How much RAM? How full is your disc?

Itunes Won't add certain fully Compatible Video Files from Another Library

I recently updated to Leopard 10.5.2 on all my Mac computers. Ever since doing so, trying to add certain ipod compatible files to my Windows machine is touch and go. I have been doing the same add a file network transfer every day without incident pulling from three different Mac Itunes libraries. Until I went from 10.5.1 to 10.5.2. I can see, click, and request the file, but some files transfer without delay, others never copy over. I can't figure out why. One day recurring files with similar names transfer, others don't. I thought it could be a file name issue or directory name length, but I couldn't detect a pattern. The only way to transfer the file is to copy and paste to my Windows desktop, then drag and drop to my Windows Itunes libarary. Everything works fine that way, but it takes extra steps. Anyone have any ideas. I have no trouble with both my Mac and windows machines seeing each other and trasnferring files using explorer and Finder.

When this happens on my Win XP home PC, the file & folder have been mysteriously set to read only.
But you said yours were coming from a Mac, right?
In Windows, right-click on the file > Get Properties. I uncheck the read only box. Sometimes I have to restart iTunes. Other times I've had to restart the whole PC because the lock won't go away until I do.
Older versions of Windows had a nifty way to get rid of file locks on-the-fly, but they removed it in WinXP.
It's not just iTunes, either. These random file locks/read only settings happen with other files. I started happening about 6-9 months ago after a Windows update.

Itunes 12 won't add video file

I've been using iTunes as my primary video player/manager for years now (and obviously to sync files into my iPhone/iPad).
Today for my surprise after going to File>Add to Library... to add another set of video files, NOTHING happened.
The videos are always added to the Home Videos section so I can re-arrange them to Movies/TVShows/Music Videos, etc. but this time they are NOT showing up there.
Strangely enough, the files do get copied to the Home Videos folder, within iTunes Media (I let iTunes auto organize folders/files), but yet they do not show up anywhere in the library.
It's important to inform that:
As I said, yes I checked into the Home Videos section and it's not there.
Yes, I tried adding while running iTunes under safe mode - no glory.
Yes, I restarted the computer and did it again - nothing.
Yes, I looked into the recent added list, both under Movies and Music, and they are not there.
Yes, the files do have the right codec/format, as they are .mp4, they all run on Quicktime, and I compare the codec format against other video files that are already in the library and they share the exact same features.
I'm currently running iTunes 12.1.0.50, iOS Yosemite 10.10.2, on a MacBook, and the whole library is running out of a 4TB external HDD (WD My Book).
HELP PLEASE, starting to fret here as I exhausted all troubleshooting options that I know!
Thanks in advance...

Nevermind. When I added another video file the ones that were not showing up magically appeared together with the one I just added.
Go figure...
I guess it could've been some sort of corrupt issue with the iTunes Library.itl file...
Now I'm golden

Sending large video files from a Mac to a PC

I have a Mac computer. My son has a PC. I want to send him some video files - some individual files are 12GB in size. I understand that 16GB flash drives will not help me because they have a limit of 4GB per file.
I thought I would put the video files on a hard drive with my Mac computer and send the hard drive to my son so that the video can be seen or downloaded on his PC computer. The video files are in HD high definition. But I'm sure there are compatibility problems I can't begin to conceive.
I know I could use TOAST to make a dvd-r of the video files that can be played on a dvd player- but they would no longer be HD. I have Toast 9.
Also - about these media drives - could I just put my HD video files on these new 'media' drives which can be connected to a TV ( that's the only other option I can think of ).
I've also heard of software called MacDrive8 which supposedly makes a hard drive accessible to both PC and Mac computers. Has anyone used MacDrive8?
How do Mac PC people share mega HD files these days?
More info - This video file of the recent Little League Championships is in mpeg-4 format. Would Real Player or QuickTime on a PC play them ?
As a last resort I could break up the video file into segments of 4GB or less and put them on a Flash drive - I think Mac/PC compatible Flash drives exist right ?
thank you
Pete

The 4GB single-file size limitation is because of the FAT32 file system usually used on these flash drives.
An alternative would be to use the NTFS file system on these flash drives since it does not have the file size limitation and is also native for Windows PCs.
But, while MAc OSX can read and write from/to the FAT32 file system, it can only read from NTFS file system.
To enable write access to NTFS drives, you have to install a third-party file system driver like the free NTFS-3G http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/ or the commercial Paragon NTFS for Mac or Tuxera NTFS for Mac.

See my answer above. You run into the same compatibility issues as with a flash drive.
I know I could use TOAST to make a dvd-r of the video files that can be played on a dvd player- but they would no longer be HD. I have Toast 9.
Personally I wouldn't do this: too pricey (the discs) and not very praticable.
Also - about these media drives - could I just put my HD video files on these new 'media' drives which can be connected to a TV ( that's the only other option I can think of ).
Sorry, I don't know. Haven't looked into these devices that much.
I've also heard of software called MacDrive8 which supposedly makes a hard drive accessible to both PC and Mac computers. Has anyone used MacDrive8?
MacDrive is the "counterpart" so to speak to the above mentioned NTFS file system drivers for Mac OSX.
It enables Windows to read and write from/to drives (harddisk, flash drives, etc.) that use the Mac OSX file system (MacOS Extended).
How do Mac PC people share mega HD files these days?
Either NTFS drivers for Mac OSX or MacDrive for Windows.
More info - This video file of the recent Little League Championships is in mpeg-4 format. Would Real Player or QuickTime on a PC play them ?
Don't know. Don't use video files that much. Sorry
As a last resort I could break up the video file into segments of 4GB or less and put them on a Flash drive - I think Mac/PC compatible Flash drives exist right ?
When using FAt32 file system every disk is compatible to Macs and Windows PCs.

Hope it helps

Media Encoder audio glitches in all rendered video files

Recently Media encoder starter adding glitches to all render video files in the audio track. It will sporadically cut in and out from a different audio track from different video file. Has anyone else had this recent problem?

If you're looking to edit Divx files, the others have offered good advice. If you're looking to create Divx files, I recommend using an external convertor rather than AME.

Importing Video Files Not Working

When I try to add or import a video file iTunes it does zip. I've tried everything, even creating a new user account. I'm having alot of other problems as well that I didn't have with the old version of iTunes.
