Adding a main theme to an existing project in iDVD 06

Hello everyone
I've created an iDVD of our summer holiday using the Fish theme. This is my first go at creating iDVD. After having completed the work I realised that I could add more content to the DVD as it is only a quarter of gig in size at the moment. The problem is that I want to create a new title menu to sit on top of the existing one from where I can point to the existing summer holiday content and add new buttons and menus such as for the childrens' birthday content. I don't want to lose any of the links that I have already created in my existing title menu. Is there any way that this can be done, hopefully, easily.
Many thanks for any help.
Best wishes

Hi Everyone
I managed to find a neat and simple solution to my problem. In the main menu I created a sub menu. I selected all the buttons, except the "New Sub Menu" button by clicking whilst holding down the shift key. Using the Edit menu I cut the selected buttons. I double clicked on the New Sub-Menu button to go down to the sub menu and pasted the cut buttons. And it worked. All the previous links to movies and photos in other sub menus were maintained and worked fine when I tried them. Went back to the main menu and typed "Our Summer Holiday" in the newly created button with links to what was essentially the previous main menu. Now I can add other new sub menus to the main menu, such as "Children's birthday party" and carry on adding movies, photos, etc.
I did make a copy of the original before putting this idea to test. Isn't iLife wonderful.
Listen, thank you very much for all your help. This is really a great forum. I was not expecting such quick responses.
Best wishes

Opening existing projects in iDvD

i have been able to burn existing projects in iDvd but when I exited and went back in, I cant open them anymore? can someone please help? thanks!

Hi
Did You alter anything in the movies or materials that built Your DVD project.
eg clicked on Update Project button -
If so - this is a BUG - and only way around it as I know of is to start all over
in iDVD and a new project.
Jumping from iDVD to iMovie to correct and then back - DOESN'T WORK - Apple know's about it !
else
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
iDVD updated ?
Apple Codec updated ?
Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets
No of Colors - must be set to millions

Unable to open existing project in idvd

I have saved a project in Idvd (dvdproj. file), I can locate the project however when I try to open it, it opens a blank project. I am using idvd ver. 7.04. What am I doing wrong as I don't want to re-create as I have several hours invested in the Idvd project file.

I don't normally use iPhoto, so I imported a QuickTime movie. It shows up in the Media pane in iDVD. Did you create an Album for them?

Can't Open An Existing Project in iDVD

I've prepared an iDvd project saved it and when ever I run iDvd and select "open an existing project" it just freezes and only gives me the option to "Force Quit". It allows me to create a new project but I can't open my existing one. Can anyone help. I hope I don't have to start it all over again.

Have you tried deleting iDVD's preference file?
Close iDVD. Go to your Home folder(YourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.idvd.plist
Drag this plist file to the trash. iDVD will create a new fresh one when you reopen it.
Open iDVD, and see if this problem is resolved.
If not, try signing on as a new account. Go to system preferences, account.
If that resolves the problem, then it is not the software. Post back for more assistance with this.
If neither of these helps, you may have to reinstall iDVD. Again, post back if you get to this point and want assistance with reinstalling. You will need to find your original iLife installation disks, or the Mac installation disks if iLife was preinstalled on your computer when you purchased it.

Why can't I open items in iDVD sub menu & Open Existing project lists?

Recently I installed *Jam Pack-Music of the World*. Since then, my iMac experienced one Kernal Panic while I was using iMovie. Later I tried to burn the movie I had been working on, iDVD got stuck at audio encoding and then quit unexpectedly a while later. When I tried to +'Open Existing project'+ in iDVD, I noticed the list of files in the *Movie folder* of the iDVD dialogue window are shaded grey and could not be opened. (They could however be opened from the *Documents foder* where they are shown as .dvdproject files.) Additionally it became clear that about 40-50 GB of storage space on the hard drive had been lost. I have also noticed that the items listed in the *iDVD sub menu* (tool bar) are also grey and cannot be opened - although if I first open a project from the documents folder these items then show black and can be opened. I've had my iMac for 18 months and had no real problems till now. I'm new to computing and at a loss as to what's happened and how to rectify it.

I don't purport to be an expert, but since you have not gotten a response as yet, I'll give you my comment.
If you got a Kernal Panic, your computer is in need of some maintenance. The following recipe is from one of the gurus on the iMovie formum in a different context. " Restart from your install disk (by holding down the C key as you restart), and go to Disk Utility, then repair the hard disk. Restart as normal and then repair permissions from the same utility."
Make sure that you have enough free space on your hard drive for these programs to work -- at least 15GB and better 25GB.
You could also try uninstalling Jam Pack-Music of the World, and see if that clears up the problem.
Good luck.

Substitution not carried out when WBS is added to an existing project......

Hi, I have created a substitution rule to substitute the investment profile in my projects with a blank for any WBS which is not level one. I am not sure why this rule does not take effect immediately a new WBS is included. When I try to carry out the substitution manually, I get the error message 'Error when processing asset under construction (AuC) for WBS element'. Any ideas how I can get this substituion to work when a new WBS is added to an existing project?

You should use the substitution otherway....
I believe your project is in REL status and also you have defaulted IM profile in the project, so whenever you create a WBSE, the IM profile is inherited to the WBSE and since it is in REL status, the system will create an AUC based on your IM profile and now you are using substituition to remove the IM profile so this will cause the problem...Instead of this....try this...do not default IM profile in project, and instead of removing IM profile for all WBSE which is not level 1, use substitution to write IM profile in WBSE which is only level 1.

Default Target Main Build does not exist in this project

I am learning ant with eclipse and wanted to use ant build.xml to compile and run my class. I was getting the following error when i just tried to use ant.
Default Target Main Build does not exist in this project

Edited by: hemanthjava on Oct 28, 2007 5:43 AM

You gave a default target in the build.xml, and then didn't define the target.
This is an Ant question. You're better off asking Ant questions on an Ant forum.

Adf bc jar for base entity classes and extending them existing project

Hi,
I am using jdev 11.1.1.0 and have created a base workspace/project and adf jar for my base entity classes.
1. I can consume this base adf bc jar in a separate new consuming workspace and create VO based on base bc classes or create new EOs that extend base bc entity classes.
2. Furthermore, for an existing consuming project that earlier included src/ of base entity (BC components), i can remove the dependency on bc source and bring in this new adf jar and everything including the view controller and the service/datacontrol works fine.
The issue i am running into is as follows.
- In the existing project (#2) above i try to create a couple of entities based on entities in my base jar; associations are automatically brought in. Note i am not overriding any attributes. My intent here is to generate .java and implement some code.
- I then try to make my existing VOs based on the newly extended entity (VO overview->Entity Objects-> Shuttle NewEntity from Available to Selected)
- I then try to remove the old EO from selected under VO overview->Entity Objects->Shuttle OldEntity from Selected back
- I get a warning dialog box that says something to the effect that some viewlinks are dependent on these old EOs in this consuming project.
- I tried to laboriously analyzed dependencies and it this dialog box does not make any sense as I have already extended EOs and the tooling should be able to let me use these
My questions
- Why I am not able to remove old entities from VO dependencies
- Is it ok to leave the old EOs in "Selected" along with the newly extended EO ? What are the implications for this?
- I also thought about extending base associations, but did not go anywhere.
In general, I am ok with consuming an ADF BC jar that has entities etc. but not clear about removing dependencies of base EOs on VOs when entities are extended and consumed in a pre-existing project that used base entities.
I can send a project if any PM is willing to take a look at it.
Thanks,
ps:
I have already gone over the following info
http://technology.amis.nl/blog/215/organization-of-bc4j-domain-eo-and-business-vo-package
.. wants to create an enterprise data model in BC4J, reflecting the Enterprise Data Model set up in the RDBMS. All (or at least most) business rules will be implemented in the Middle Tier – to take the load of the database and also allow developers not comfortable with PL/SQL to define and maintain the business rules. It is clear that this means that all applications that need to access – and manipulate – the database, need to go through the BC4J foundation layer. Martijn wants to define the Entity Objects – and their business rules – only once and share that definition between different projects. Each projects can create its own ViewObjects on top of these shared Enterprise Entity Objects.
http://radio-weblogs.com/0118231/2005/09/29.html
I am currently working on a project for a partner where we will be using ADF BC as our model layer for a large application. In order to keep the footprint of each application module down to a reasonable size, we are intending to create a number of separate 'root' application modules for each functional area of the application. Within, these 'root' application modules we will then use nested application modules to further partition the application. All of the application modules will be accessing the same datasource and will need access to the same database objects.
In order to separate our code between the development team and into function areas, our initial thoughts were that we would create an ADF BC model project containing Entity Objects for all of the database tables e.t.c. as these are common amongst all functional areas. We have configured all of the EOs for validation rules, defaulting values and extending doDML() as appropriate. Happy at this stage we then created a simple .jar file to deploy all of the definitions. Upon creating a new ADF BC project for each functional area we added the jar file as a library import into the new project. However when we the tried to create some new View Objects via the JDev Wizard we were unable to see the imported Entity Objects.
Is the only way to share Entity Object definitions between different ADF BC projects to manually copy the source definition files into the new projects src directory? Since this would mean multiple copies of the same components, it could prove to be a maintenance nightmare.Is there a way of doing it without creating multiple copies of the same object definitions?
The developer is spot on in their ideas of layering and reuse, and even has created a library for their reusable entities. This last step is not something everyone thinks to do. The missing step is known as "importing" components, so with that one extra bit of knowledge under his belt, he should be able to do exactly what he envisions. My little article called Difference Between Adding and Importing Business Components tries to explain the difference and gives the menu options to choose to perform the importing.

since you followed the OC4J developer guide I think this question might be better handled there as well

I have existing projects made in iMovie and now I can't play them or edit them... any idea what's going on? Thank you

I have existing projects made in iMovie and now I can't play them or edit them... any idea what's going on? P/s M preview window is totally blank. I can't figure out what went wrong. Thank you

For iMovie to see your projects, they must be in a certain place. If they are on your startup internal hard drive, they must be in the Movies/iMovie Projects/ folder. If they are on an external drive, they must be in the iMovie Projects/ folder at the top level of the drive. Is it possible that your projects have been moves somewhere else?

Problem in later adding forms in existing project...

Later i've added three more forms in existing project.
but pages are not created for those three forms...
how to resolve this?
Edited by: skud on Mar 7, 2011 4:11 AM

Hi peter,
Thanks for your reply..
Actually I migrate three forms and create a application called transport,the pages are created for that respective three forms.
Ya ofcourse i've created one page(Navigation list) manually in the application transport.
i have to add three more forms in the same application transport, so i migrate three more forms by clicking upload file>
three more forms are added in the list. After added i have only two option in that page upload file> and create application.
i tried to create application but new pages are not creating for new three forms in the same application transport.
did you understood my problem?
thanks...

HT5149 Will uninstalling and reinstalling fcpx effect my pre existing projects and events? That is to say, will it delete them?

Hey my FCP X has stopped working. It lasts about 30 seconds and then the beach ball comes up and it doesn't respond after that. It's pretty much unusable now. I was thinking of uninstalling and reinstalling it. Will that delete my existing projects and events or will they stay on my system?
Thanks

This is my pet checklist for questions regarding FCP X performance - you may have already addressed some of the items but it's worth checking.
Check the spec of your Mac against the system requirements:
http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/
Check the spec of your graphics card. If it's listed here, it's not suitable:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
Make sure you're using the latest version of the application - FCP X 10.0.3 runs very well on my 2009 MacPro 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 16 GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB. I run it with Lion 10.7.3.
Check that you have at least 20% free space on your system drive.
If you have not already done so, move your Projects and Events to a fast (Firewire 800 or faster) external HD. Make sure the drive's formatted OS Extended (journalling's not required for video). You should always keep at least 20% free space on the Hard Drives that your Media, Projects and Events are on.
If you are getting crashes, there is some conflict on the OS. Create a new (admin) user account on your system. Do NOT import any of the settings etc from the old account - simply use FCP X from there - if it runs a lot better, there's a conflict and a clean install would be recommended - but remember, if you reinstall the system, and then use Migration Assistant (or anything else) to import all your old settings etc etc, you may well be importing the cause of the conflict in the first place.
Keep projects to 20 mins or less (about half that for Multicam). If you have a long project, work on short sections, make them into Compound Clips and then paste these into a final project for export.
If you ever experience dropped frames, I strongly recommend you use ProRes 422 Proxy - it edits and plays back like silk because the files are small but lightly compressed (not much packing and unpacking to do) - but remember to select 'Original or Optimised Media' (FCP X Preferences > Playback) just before you export your movie, otherwise it will be exported at low resolution.
If you have plenty of processor power, for the ultimate editing experience, create Optimised Media - most camera native files are highly compressed and need a great deal of processor power to play back - particularly if you add titles, filters or effects. ProRes 422 takes up much more hard drive space but is very lightly compressed. It edits and plays back superbly.
Hide Audio Waveforms at all times when you don't need them (both in Browser and Storyline / Timeline). They take up a lot of processor power. (Use the switch icon at the bottom-right of your timeline to select a format without waveforms if you don't need them at the moment, then switch back when you do).
Create folders in the Project and Events libraries and put any projects you are not working on currently, in those folders. This will help a lot. There's a great application for this, called Event Manager X - for the tiny cost it's an invaluable application.
http://assistedediting.intelligentassistance.com/EventManagerX/
Unless you cannot edit and playback without it, turn off Background Rendering in Preferences (under Playback) - this will help general performance and you can always render when you need to by selecting the clip (or clips) and pressing Ctrl+R.
The biggest single improvement I saw in performance was when I upgraded the RAM from 8 GB to 16.

User Interface stopped working after adding existing project

Hi, I've just created a new User Interface for one of our service beans. To do this, I created one application (called UserInterface) with one project (also called UserInterface), this project uses JSF JSPs to get the GUI. On its own, this project works fine. But whenever I add existing projects to the application, the UserInterface stops working. I right-click my jspx page, choose run and all I get is an empty page. The point is, the UserInterface should get connected to the service bean that's in the second project (ContentServices), so somehow I have to add the project to the application, don't I?
Sorry for being a little vague about this but I don't know quite what to ask and where to search for... can someone give me a hard push in the right direction?

Found it with some help from a colleague. The new project contained a library with some jars that had the same name as some jars that were in the old project. Those didn't really mix well together :-)

I would like to add a project to an existing project.

I am trying to add a photo project to my existing project. Both projects work independantly. I did the the file add procedure and now both projects work independently when chosen from the project. I would like to link them up now by adding some navigation between them, Maybe a button from one to the other so I can access the function and come back to the original. I cannot get an access to link the two. I am wondering is there a way to do this.
Project A gets a button that connects with Project B then Project B gets a button that takes you home to Project A.

After migration to new computer -- null file is missing on existing project

I just moved to a new MacBook Pro from an old MacBook Pro (same models just a faster chip with more RAM). I migrated everything from the old to the new. I went to burn a DVD of an existing iDVD project that used a 5.0 theme and saw that an error was present. The main theme background image is missing and I get an error reading "The file (null) is missing." Any suggestions?

I've never tried to "migrate" an exiting iDvd project to another mac and I'm not even sure how well that works.
But if I were moving an existing iDvd project from one mac to another assuming they both had identical versions of iDvd & QT as well as similar assets for the project in question (ie, templates / themes), then I'd do the following which applies to both iDvd6 and iDvd'08:

(Ref. Project Archive or Disk Image)
Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

Import existing projects into Workspace

I am creating new Workspace and trying to add my existing projects to it. I am pointing to a root directory and let Builder scan it. After scanning it shows some of my projects but not all of them. Why is that? also what is the right way of adding existing projects to the new Workspace?
Thanks
