Adding chapters to iPad movies?

This is a question which I have no idea where to post. So I'll start here, and youse guys can tell me where it might be more effective.
Since the demise of the DVD (c'mon, ya can't play 'em in an iPad, so they're dead...), what has replaced it in the iPad world? What I mean is this: I'd like to be able to author a presentation, similar to a DVD, which would present a menu and chapter choices to my viewer.
DVD was such a nice tight spec, and doing simple menu stuff is second nature to me now...so what's replacing it in the post-disc world?
Any help would be appreciated...

Yes, that's how it works in theory.
In practice, I'm having the iPad see the chapters. Movie plays fine in QT7 Pro, QTX and iTunes (on the iMac that the iPad syncs to), but when transferred to the iPad whilst syncing, the chapter info is lost. Another helper suggested I upload the movie back from the iPad and see if the chapter info is there (ie, not being recognized on the iPad, but existing); or if the chapter info gets deleted during syncing.
More to come...as soon as the wife let's me have the iPad for a bit!

Batch joining of movies while adding chapters

I can not seem to find any good tools out there that will batch join video files while adding chapters.
I have 20 folders, each with 20-30 avi files. I want to be able to join each video clip in each folder into one movie while making the start of each clip a new chapter. I would also like to be able to use compressor to compress the video.
I have found a few that let me join them, but they either do not support chapters, or the chapters dont load in DVD Studio Pro.
Any advice?

Well if you are trying to join .avi and not .m2v then you can use pretty much whatever you want! FCP, Avid, Prem (coming back to mac), QT Pro etc.
Most encoders (Compressor, Bitvice etc) allow you input timecodes where you want chapters or add markers that dvdsp will recognise. If you do that you'll be able to add (or import with a marker list txt file) in dvdsp.
If you want to join m2v's then you can use MPEGAppend, Unix commands or the dvdsp timeline even...

Need help with adding chapters

I like iMovie '08 for the quickness of scanning the video, however I'm hoping someone can explain the steps of exporting and adding chapters in garage band and then exporting that to iDVD. My ultimate goal is to create a dvd from my video footage and the dvd have scene selections. Also, will this cause quality loss (exporting/importing back and forth between programs). If there's another way to add chapters instead of in garage band, please let me know. Thanks.

1) First, create your movie in iMovie. Then Share it using Share to iTunes, Share to Media Browser, etc.
2) Now, Open GarageBand.
3) Select "Create a new music project" (not "create a new podcast episode")
4) Give your project a name and click "Create" (The time signature and all that stuff does not matter)
5) You might see a grand piano keyboard. Click the red dot at the upper left corner of the keyboard to get rid if it.
6) Now, at the bottom right corner of GarageBand, you should see a button for the Media Browser. Click it, and you should be able to find your movie.
7) Drag your movie from the Media Browser to the main garageband area where it says "Drag Apple Loops here". It will create a video track with thumbnails for skimming and an audio track.
8) At this point, you will also see a "Grand Piano Track" which is a default. You can delete it by selecting the Grand Piano track, and then clicking in the menus TRACK/DELETE.
Now, the only tracks remaining are your movie.
9) Select your Movie Track and you will see the pane below where you enter Chapter names. In GarageBand terms these are Markers.
10) Move the GarageBand playhead to the point in your movie where you want the first chapter. Click Add Marker. Your Chapter will have a default name of "Chapter 1" but you can click on it and change it. Make sure there is a checkmark by "marks a chapter" (not "marks a URL")
11) Repeat step 10 until you have all your chapters.
12) Now, click SHARE/SEND MOVIE TO iDVD, or SHARE/SEND MOVIE TO iTUNES, etc. depending on whether you are creating this for a DVD or for an iPod.
You are done.

Having issues adding chapters between chapters already selected

Hello,
I trying to create navigation on Encore by adding chapters between chapters I've already created and selected in Premiere. Let me explain more in detail what I'm trying to do. I have a two hour timeline that I divided in four chapters by using markers in Premiere, that works just fine when i create my dvd; but what I want to do it's add 3 minutes chapters between those four chapters already selected, so that when it plays on a dvd player, it can be rewinded or fast forwarded quicker, so that it can move 3 minutes back or forth during the process instead of going slowly throughtout the entire dvd.
I tried to use the feature "add chapters between intervals" but it creates chapters thoughtout the entire timeline replacing the ones already selected which I do not want.
Is there a way to do this with Encore without interfering. deleting, or replacing the created chapters in Premiere?
Please Help!
Thank you

I believe the answer is no. If you want to make a feature request, see this link:

I would suggest supporting the feature request here, since an export option would give you the ability to do what you want in a couple steps: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/587573?tstart=0
In your case, it won't take that long to record the current chapter locations, add the 3 minute option, then replace the 4 chapters, deleting any automatic chapters that are closer than you would like.

Photos are being added to my iPad, without choosing any events in iPhoto or having them sync with iCloud

Photos are being added to my iPad, without choosing any events in iPhoto or having them sync with iCloud
I just upgraded to IOS6, and now my ipad is full of pictures I did not choose to sync.
I cannot delete them without deleting them from all sources.
Actually, the message is when I go to hit EDIT, select a picture, and then choose DELETE: "This photo is used in an album. Do you want to delete it everywhere? Delete Everywhere"
Does that mean "Everywhere" on my iPad, or everywhere including whatever place on my computer it found the photos to begin with?
PLEASE HELP
Ps:
I've already done this:
To delete photos from your device
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.

You can still sync the photos and keep the photos that are already on the device. You have to include all of the albums or events in the pictures folder that you sync from. If you are using iPhoto, select that in the Sync Photos from drop down menu and then select all of the albums or events that you want to sync. Make sure to check Selected Albums, events, faces and automatically include (no events). Using that option will allow you to choose exactly which albums and events to sync.
You have to remember that all photos must be included in every sync so you cannot sync photos from iPhoto today and then try to sync photos from another folder tomorrow, or you will erase all of the photos that were synced from iPhoto. You need to maintain one main Photos syncing folder for the photos that you want to transfer to the iPad. You can have subfolders within that one main folder and you can selectively sync those subfolders. You just have to place all of the photos that you want to sync into one main iPad syncing photos folder.
There are WiFi transfer apps that allow you to transfer photos to the iPad without having to sync with iTunes. I use this one. This app (and others like it) will allow you to use multiple computers to transfer photos.

HT1535 Unwanted "Genius" playlists added to my iPad music library.

I'm getting multiple unwanted "Genius" playlists added to my iPad music.
How do I get rid of these files with zero bytes of data????

Thanks for the reply but it doesn't really work.
Once I unselect any tracks in the "smart playlist" they also unselect in my the "main" itunes. Which means when I go to listen to these tracks on my Mac, they won't play in the "main" itunes automatically without manually clicking on each one of them (those that have been unselected) and obviously vice versa for listening to music on the "smart playlist".
Does that make any sense?
I feel that I don't have full control over how I'm interacting with my music. It would seem, to do this, I need a seperate player for listening to music on my Mac, and itunes for syncing music back and forth on my iphone.

How can I remove photos added to my iPad from my PC and laptop?

How can I remove or edit photos added to my iPad from my PC and laptop? New iPad. Thanks!

You use the same process that you used to get the photos on the iPad to begin with. Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced - and then re-syncing.
So that means that you have to connect your iPd to your computer, launch iTunes, select your iPad under the devices heading in the sidebar, click on the Photos Tab on the right and then uncheck the folder of photos that you synced to the iPad and then click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
If you want to remove all of the photos, uncheck the Sync Photos From Heading and then click on Apply.

I want to buy a 2nd iPad for my wife. we both have kindles and I have the kindle app for my iPad. are there any issues or concerns in adding a 2nd iPad to the iTunes account

I want to buy a 2nd iPad for my wife. we both have kindles and i have the kindle app for my iPad. are there any issues or concerns in adding a 2nd iPad with kindle app?

You can sync as many iDevices as you own to a single iTunes library if you want to do so. If you manage the content manually, you can pick and choose the apps, music, videos and so on that you want on each device. One iTunes account means using the same Apple ID to purchase and update all of your apps. You can share apps on both devices because once you buy an app, you can download it to all of your iDevices - as many times as you want - using the same Apple ID and iTunes account. If you decide to do this, you have to sync to the same computer each time in order to keep all of your shared apps in the one iTunes library.
The Kindle App content is not synced to the iTunes library. It is controlled by your Kindle account. I believe that you can go into your Kindle account and transfer your purchase to your other devices - iPad, computer, etc. You can both have the Kindle app on your iPads and share the content as far as I know, so I see no conflict there. However, while I do have the Kindle app and an account, I do not use it very often.
If you want to share the one iTunes account, there should be no problems with a second iPad. I sync my iPad, my iPod Touch and my wife's iPod Touch to my MacBook using the same iTunes library and we have different content on all three devices. My daughter uses my iTunes account for her iPod Touch and syncs to her own MacBook and her own iTunes library.
Four devices using one iTunes account syncing to two different iTunes libraries.

Adding Video to Ipad

I am trying to add home movies to my Ipad. They are in .MOV format and have been added to Itunes library. I have tried both syncing and adding manually. Nothing is working.

Are the movies an iPad-compatible format? See the TV and Video section of the specs page to see what the iPad will support:
http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/
If not, select the movie and choose "Create iPad or Apple TV Version" under the Advanced menu in iTunes and it should create a version that will load onto your iPad.
Hope this helps.

Adding chapters while preserving the original file size and type.

Gone are the days of easily adding chaps in FCP7. FCPX is here… chapters are gone!. Now enter Compressor 4.
When exporting from Compressor am I ultimately going to end up with an additional file with new settings?
I have followed the Compressor manual and understand that I can “Create a new batch from template” and am supposed to choose Create DVD. I however just want to keep my file in its original maximum resolution while gaining the chapter marks that will be recognized in iDVD or Studio Pro.
Can anybody offer me some advice or point me to some good resources?

Assume you're referring to Compressor 4, although the following would pretty much also apply to earlier versions.
Yes; you will have an additional file with chapter markers.
Select a preset…you can start with any of them, but Pro Res 422 makes the most sense.
If your source file (the exported Quick Time file) was PR 422, it will not change the scale and will preserve the quality of your original file (or close enough so you wouldn't be able to see the difference even with a blown up projected image). If, for some reason you a codec other than Pro Res, go to the Inspector>Encoder pane>Video Settings>Compression Settings and make your choice.
In the Preview window, set the chapter markers, which are frame-accurate in an I Frame format like Pro Res.
Submit and Compressor will spit out a high quality QT movie. You can then bring that movie into iDVD, which will recognize your markers.
If you want to use DVDSP, you have two options. 1) You can let DVDSP do the encoding by importing the QT movie with chapters. 2) You can use Compressor to encode; you choose the DVD preset (Disk Burning) and it creates separate audio and video files that you then bring into DVDSP, which will "see" your markers in these files. Most DVDSP users use the second method because they have far greater control over the compression settings…but that presumes the user is relatively familiar with Compressor and Frame Controls.
Finally, bear in mind that DVDs are standard definition, so – however you get there – the DVD will be much more compressed and much smaller resolution than any High Def format. However, the DVD end product can still look very good. Do some tests with small, but representative sections of your movie to see whether iDVD or DVDSP works best for you.
Good luck.
