Adding markers for audio slideshow

Does anyone know if you can add audio markers in iMovie 09? I'm trying to create a photo slideshow and want to snap my photos to the beat of the tune but don't see any way to accomplish this.
Thanks

Yes. Use the [beat marker feature|http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/imovie_09stone.html#markers]

Chapter Markers for Audio Only encode to CD

I have an audio only sequence in Final Cut with chapter markers. I did Export>Using Compressor & when I look at the sequence in Compressor I can see the purple chapter markers in the Preview window. I've tried many different settings: MPEG-4 (disabled video in the inspector), AAC, AIFF. Every time I open these files in Quicktime, I lose the chapter markers.
I do have a .mov file that I exported from FCP to Quicktime & that shows the chapter markers, but once I try to export from Quicktime, the same thing happens... I keep losing the chapter markers.
What settings should I be using to keep the chapter markers with my audio sequence & encode this audio for CD?

Yes, thank you... I didn't realize markers don't work for audio.
I found a workaround on the FCP forum. Here it is for anyone watching:

Adding markers for tracks in a mix?

i've recorded a 65 min mix and i want to put markers on each song so it's not just one big long mix. i could only find info for putting markers on podcasts but i'm pretty sure that what i want to do is possible.
can anyone help me out?

If you export your mix as an AIFF, there's no way to set markers because AIFF doesn't support markers. But why not export it as a "podcast" - the result is an AAC file, and you can add markers.
AAC is pretty similar to MP3 in terms of compression rate and quality loss (set a high quality in GB's prefs). You might want to avoid turning the AAC file into an MP3, because combining two compression methods is never a good idea in terms of quality.

What app is best for adding text to a slideshow?

I would like to alternate quotes with photos in a slideshow (with music). Can this be done in iphoto or imovie? Thanks!

If you use iPhoto you'll need a 3rd party image editor to create the quote slides, import them into iPhoto and add to the slideshow.
Some Image Editors:
Photoshop Elements 9 for Mac - $79
Rainbow Painter - $30
Imagerie - $38
Acorn - $50
Pixelmator - $60
Seashore - Free
Portraits and Prints - Free
GIMP for Mac - Free
If you have Pages or any application that can give you the layout designwith the quote that you want for the slideshow you can create the quote slide with it and do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto to get a jpg copy of the page in Pages into iPhoto according to this workflow:
One way to get a file into iPhoto as a jpeg file is the following:
1 - open the file in any application that will open it.
2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
3 - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
Note: If you don't have that option go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto.

GETTING HTML CODE FOR A SLIDESHOW

How can i get HTML CODE for a slideshow recently created using Photoshop Elements 8. I also added AUDIO both from my own audio folder AND from PE8 audio selections.

What operating system are you using?
On a windows system, I think you need to use the Share>Online Album in the PSE 8 Organizer and then save the result to disk to get something with HTML code.
The standard create slide show only outputs as a pdf or a movie format file.

Bad video/good audio--slideshow?

I took a video of my daughter's high school musical. The audio came out fine but the video isn't so good. I'd like to take some still photos that I have and merge them with the audio from the camera to make a slide show. Can anyone walk me through the process?

If what you want to do is have the video continue running but put photos over some of the bad video, follow these instructions from iMovie Help:
Inserting video clips or photos in a passage while maintaining running audio
You can paste a new video clip or photo over an existing clip while retaining the audio from the original clip. The video cuts away to a new picture, but you continue to hear the sound from the original clip.
To replace images in a clip while maintaining running audio:
Choose iMovie HD > Preferences, and then click General.
Select the "Extract audio when using Paste Over at Playhead" checkbox.
Select the video or photo that you want to insert.
Choose Edit > Cut or Copy.
Do one of the following:
To paste the entire video you selected in step 3, position the playhead at the first frame to be replaced. When you paste the clip, it will replace a portion of video equal to its length.
To paste over a specific segment of your movie, select the part of the video clip you want to paste over. (To learn more about selecting part of a video clip, see Related Topics below.)
If the video you're pasting is longer than the selected frame range, the excess video will not be pasted. If the video you're pasting is shorter than the selected frame range, the extra space will be filled with a color clip (or the still image, if you paste a still image).
Choose Advanced > "Paste Over at Playhead."
The audio track of the original video is retained and appears in audio track 1 of the timeline viewer.
This should give you a nice smooth movie with interspersed photos with the video.
Be patient, the extraction of the audio may take a while!
If you want to ENTIRELY replace the video and just keep the audio, you have a couple of methods.
1. Extract the audio from the entire movie. May take a while. Then, delete the video track, keeping the extracted audio track. Add your photos to the video track, adding transitions, adjusting the timing of the photos.
2. Share the audio as an AIFF file, create a slideshow in iPhoto and use the audio track as your music for the slideshow. Start by selecting 'Share' to QuickTime, then choose compress movie for 'Expert Settings.' Then 'Share' and when the next window (save exported file as) appears, go to the dropdown menu buttons. For Export: select 'Sound to AIFF' and for Use: 'Default Settings.'
Just the audio will be saved as an audio file.
Then, open a new iMovie project, choose timeline view, drag in the audio file, and add your photos. You will have to see what effect you want with transitions, timing of the photos, Ken Burns effects, etc.
If you want to be very professional and actually sync the audio to the photos in some systematic way, have a look at Karl Petersen's thorough explanation here
Good luck....sorry that the original video was not good :_(

How do I change the background for a slideshow?

I am importing images and adding an audio track for a slideshow. Please note that I DON'T want to create a "color clip" - what I would like to do is make the background that the images are shown against something other than black. (This is for those images that don't fill the screen completely and currently end up with a black border either on the top and bottom or the sides.)
Any way to do this?
Thank you.

Dan,
"what I would like to do is make the background that the images are shown against something other than black"
Unfortunately, you can't. Not in iMovie anyway.
You can with an app named Photo to Movie. Think of it as Ken Burns on steroids. I've long used it as an adjunct to iMovie.
Among other things, it allows you to set any slide show background color you like. It costs $50, but if you plan on doing a lot of work with slides shows it's might be worth checking out.
Other cool features include multiple key frames, the ability to rotate slides and precisely control acceleration.

Recording & Adding markers

I need to switch from Peak 4 to either Logic Pro or Express. The best feature on Peak is adding markers while I'm recording an audio book. The markers are embedded in the recording so when I edit and delete a section the markers move with the time so all my markers are still where they need to be... Does Logic Pro or Express offer adding markers while you record and embed them into the track?
Thanks for the help

Not that I know of.
Marker support in LE7 is pretty poor to be honest. When you've made them they can't really do a lot.

Unable to select 'Use Phone for audio calls' on Cisco Jabber Client 9.6 for Windows

Hi,
I have recently deployed Cisco Presence Server and integrated with Call Manager 9.1.2. I have successfully deplyed 6700 users on IM & Presence. Some of the users requested for Cisco Jabber with phone control.
I have added CFS client on the Call Manager and associated it with the same extension numbers from their desk phones. I am currently able to make audio and video calls for these specific users. I am currently using Cisco Jabber Client 9.6 for windows. I have users both daisy chained to their desk phones and who are not. Can you please confirm if it does make any difference.
Problem Faced -
I am not able to use to option use phone for audio calls. The phone comes down with a cross sign on it. At the same time Cisco Jabber by default uses the client and it works as expected.
Can you please let me know if any of you guys have faced a similar issue.
Please let me know if you need any information regading the configuration used.
Looking forward for your valuable comments.
Thank you.
Regards,
Joseph Chirayath.

Hi Will,
I am attaching the screen shot for the END USER on CUCM 9.X that has been configured on Cisco Jabber.
Please do let me know if you need any further information.
Thank you.

Button for audio

I'm using a tutorial from flashkit.com to make a simple
button for audio on/off. Here's is the tutorial
Step One:
Create two buttons in your graphics program, one for
switching the music off and one for switching the music on.
Step Two:
Put both buttons into one Movie Clip. Each button on a
seperate frame. So you will have a MC with the first frame with the
"MUSIC OFF" button and the 2nd frame of the MC will contain the
"MUSIC ON" button.
Step Three:
Open the actions for the first frame of the MC and put in
this code:
stop();
and for the other frame add (The frame with MUSIC ON):
stop();
stopAllSounds();
Step Four:
Go to the first frame and open the actions for the button
(MUSIC OFF button):
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
Then for the MUSIC ON button add the same code but replace
the 2 with a one.
Step Five:
Now import your music file into Flash (Go to FILE>>
IMPORT) then go to your first frame of the MC and add your sound
into it. Under LOOP NUMBER put a big number like 9999 so the music
will go on for a long time.
I made my "button" in photoshop, and import it into flash,
its showing as a bitmap (I've tried saving it as a jpg, gif, and
png) when I preview my button after importing the music and adding
the script to each layer it plays the music, but you cant click on
it to turn the music on/off. I get this Error in preview
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=on, frame=1:Line 3: Mouse
events are permitted only for button instances
on (release) {
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=off, frame=1:Line 2: Mouse
events are permitted only for button instances
on (release) {
Total ActionScript Errors: 2 Reported Errors: 2
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=on, frame=1:Line 3: Mouse

on (release) {
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=off, frame=1:Line 2: Mouse
events are permitted only for button instances
on (release) {
Total ActionScript Errors: 2 Reported Errors: 2
What am I doing wrong? And how do I make my image into a
button? Thank for any help!

the button has to be actual flash BUTTON instance not just
button image.
You need to convert each symbol into BUTTON.

Can you make captions for a slideshow?

can you make captions for a slideshow? otherwise how can i rename the photo so that i can select view titles in the slideshow and use it as a caption?

Jim lo:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can't make captions with iPhoto. You can edit the title of a photo by selecting it and then going to the Info window at the bottom of the Source pane, the "i" button, clicking on the title field and enter what text you'd like.
If you plan on using the slideshow in iDVD then those titles will not show as they will be lost in the "overscan" area that is common to all movies played on TV. You can create the slideshow in iMovie and have lots of control over titles and subtitles and greater control of the audio track, cut, fade in/out, etc.
Do you Twango?

Adding credits to a slideshow...

In the past I have used soundslides to create audio slideshows and then embedded them in to a webpage like this:
http://www.jackfm.co.uk/cowboymod/
As you can see in the bottom ride corner there is a 'credits' tab.
I was wondering whether there was a similar feature for slideshows created in Aperture.
Thanks for all your help so far.

Afraid not.

Need dedicated drive for audio samples

I need to get a dedicated HD just for audio sample libraries that are used by VI instruments in Pro Tools. Right now the G4 already has 3 drives in it: One for PT running in OSX, one for OS9 apps and an SATA 250 as the recording drive. I also have a FW external for backup. I don't need a huge drive for these samples....an 80 or 160GB drive would be big enough. So far these are my options:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/owc-neptune-drives/
an external FW400 drive....is this fast enough for Structure, BFD, Addictive drums, etc.?
http://eshop.macsales.com/Catalog_Item.cfm?ID=10039&Item=HIT0Y30002
a third ATA drive....but I would need to get a 3 input ribbon drive cable to accomodate a third ATA drive.....is it going to cause heat issues?
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Western%20Digital/WD800AAJS/
a second SATA drive. I know this would be the fastest of the three....but I'd actually like to reserve the second internal SATA port for another recording drive.
What do you think?

It's a Radeon 9000 and I don't really know how power hungry it is or how much heat it puts out.
The 9000 is a good, conservative card, that doesn't tax the power, or put out extreme amounts of heat.
and the dual processor upgrade(which has 2 fans on it, of course) that has to be considered.
Considered.
Somehow I think that heat wouldn't be an issue in adding an SATA drive to the second port on the SATA card.
All devices produce heat, but with a clean interior and fans, 4 drives should work fine.
There are no external ports on the SATA card, btw, only 2 internal.
There is a 2 internal and 2 external card from Firmtek. Or, get an extender that moves one port (or two) to the exterior.
Can an SATA be put into any old firewire drive enclosure?
No, it needs to be SATA compatible, or have room for an IDE to SATA adapter.

HDMI to RCA converter for Audio only

I purchased an Apple TV for the airplay for audio only and adding an HDMI to RCA converter (universal unit from Amazon). Is there any specifications I need to look for on the converter for this to work? I am aware of issues when using the video portion of a converter, but I don't see anything for the audio.

maybe easier to find a optical -> RCA converter as the optical is audio only
though heard some people repport that if hdmi is not connected optical is muted but don't know for sure
if I may ask then why on eath get an appletv for audio only
an airport express would do the same thing and a minijack already and is cheaper
