Automating placement of 5 min markers in Timeline?

I'm placing chapter markers on a sequence timeline so people can go into an Encore sub menu, find the appropriate point in the show ("15 mins" or "20 mins" etc) and jump straight to it. At the moment I click on the CTI position time (big yellow figures), type in the value (100000 for the 10 mins position), click on Marker, Set Encore Chapter Marker..., type "10 mins", OK and repeat. That's just about how I did it in FCP but maybe the amazing PPro has some other approach that lends itself to automation? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Yes, there is an option in Encore...

Can I use a time capsule in place of mac mini?

Can I use a time capsule in place of mac mini as a backup storage?

If you mean as a TM backup target.. that is what the TC is designed for..
If you mean as a media player centre with all your itunes etc.. no it is a failure.. the TC has no media players.. no smarts at all. It is a hard disk in a wireless router.. nothing more.

Add txt/ecxel times as markers in timeline (automated)

Hi everyone and congrats for your excellent work.
I am using Premiere Pro CS6 and i would like to ask you how can i insert timestamps that i have in a file (txt,ecxel...), as markers in the timeline, with an automated way.
I am guessing that i would need something like an xml, including the times that i have with a command that represents them as markers in the timeline....but it is a great chance of guessing wrong.
Any ideas please?

I don't know if i am using the term timestamp correct. I may have to refer to it as "times". Trying to be more specific...I would like to add some "times" that i have in a txt ( e.g. 00:05:23, 00:10:12, 01:04:00), to my timeline or embedded on the tracks that i have in my timeline.
This need raises from the will to be faster at editing. The project that i am working came with these "times" representing camera movements.....changes in framing....people passing by in front of the camera etc..
I have to go to these exact times and make some changes, and the times are many....so it is not convenient to go manually and add so many times to playhead position...that's why i am searching for a better way to deal with this problem.
Any ideas on that?

DVD menu in Encore from DVD markers in timeline

How can I use the DVD markers on the timeline in Premiere Pro (thus also in Encore) to build a DVD menu in Encore. In premiere pro 2 where the DVD authoring was included the DVD markers automatically presented themselves as a DVD menu.

I edit most Projects into "scenes" or "chapters," on separate Sequences. In Encore, I usually have one En Timeline per Sequence, or Chapter. However, one CAN have one long Timeline, where the Chapters are deliniated via Markers.
When you say "I cannot get more than one scene in the menu." I am not sure that I am following you. You should be able to have 16, or 32 (depends on the Aspect Ratio of the Menu) Buttons, per Menu (total Buttons), and each linked to a Chapter in your Encore Timeline. What exactly is happening, when you try to link your Buttons to the Chapters?
Good luck, and let us know a bit more, as I do not think that you will need to re-do your Project in PrPro, or probably not even in Encore.

Dragging markers to timeline WITH MARKER TEXT

hi, i use markers extensively inside captured clips. when i drag a marker from the Browser to the Timeline, sometimes it copies the marker text, sometimes just the name of the clip.
it's weird behavior and i haven't figured out when it chooses one or the other option.
how can i insure that the marker text ALWAYS comes along when i drag to the timeline?
thx.

When I create clip markers with text comments I do so in the Viewer. I use the F9 key to bring them into the timeline and they always include the text comments.
With your clip highlighted in the timeline, and the playhead on the clip press shift + Up Arrow to back to the precise marker (shift + Down Arrow goes forward)
Then press the "m" key to read your text coment

Ios 7 has gotten to prepping update and is close to finishing but has stayed in the same loading place for 45 mins!

The servers are getting slammed. Bunch of people trying to download at the same time.
Give it time and it should eventually work.

Minimizing Mini-Bridge & Timeline in Photoshop CS6

Quick question that I can't figure out. How do I minimize the Mini-Bridge and Timeline in Photoshop CS6? I have draged the window section as far down as possible. But, I have seen some PS6 screenshots were the timeline and mini-bridge lay flush with the bottom of the screen. And, once I do minimize them, how do I bring them back up again?
Thanks!
Kirsten

Hello again!
Have you tried double-clicking on the panel tabs? Tha tabs display the names of the panels (Timeline and Mini-Bridge)
This should minimize the panels - to open them, you can just double click the tabs again.
Please post again if you have additional questions
Cheers!

Mac mini server on two different location

Hi,
With my partner we are working on very havy image file from two different location. we wont to be able to share those file to each other easly and quickly mad make sur those file are allways up to date.
- My first idea was to install in my place one mac mini server with external hard drive (RAID 0) and install the same server in my partner place. then I would like to create a VPN connexion between both Mac Mini server and setup a kind of RAID 1 between then. link that if my partner modify an image file on the server, With a short delay I will be able to see it on my side. this solution would be the best for me as all the data would be save in two different location and I would not have any backup issue.
I did not buy the MAC mini server yet but as soon that I know the best soluiton and that it is possilbe to do so I will buy it.
- My second idea (if the first one is not possible or if you guy's convins me that my idea is stupide) would be to have one MAC Mini server in one location setup with an external hard drive in RAID 01. my partner will need to connect to this server through VPN. This solution seems to be a good option but my partner will need to copy the file in local to work on it (few Gb eatch file) and copy it back on the server when he finish to work on it.
With this solution I will also need to organise manual backup through another hard drive to avoid to have all our data in the same location.
Witch one of those solution seems the best and can work with MAC mini server? If you have another idea for my situation I m more then happy to read it.
Knowing that other user may need to access to my file, is the MAC Mini server VPN connection safe and fast?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Chris.

The fact that you are both working on multi-gigabyte
files, the statement BDAqua made about network speed
is a big issue. Small incremental changes in a single
multi-gigabyte file still require that entire file to be transferred.
There in lies the big issue with network speeds.
Basically, it seems idea 1 will probably not work well and
besides, RAID is for local drives and not for over networks.
One solution to the synchronization issue is have a single
computer that has the application and the data and log into
it and work remotely. However, it sounds like these are image
files and working and any kind of graphics over a remote
connection is problematic unless there is a very high speed
network connection.
Second idea is the simple solution. As for the backup, that
can be automated with backup software and the backup could be
put any where.

Chapter Problem with Multiple Timeline Assets

Using Premiere Pro 2.0 and DV assets exported from Premiere.
Normally I just create a single export out of Premiere and all works well. This time I decided to try a different workflow, taking advantage of Encore's ability to add multiple assets to the same timeline. This way, I figured, if any changes are needed, only one part will have to be reexported and retranscoded, instead of the whole thing.
So the first asset places in the timeline OK. The second asset generates a warning message, asking me if I want to "replace existing chapters with source marker in the asset".
Now first of all, there are no existing chapters in the section of timeline where the new asset is being added, so I don't know why it's asking if I want to replace them. But that's a minor annoyance. The real problem is that all the chapter markers in the second asset, whether I click Yes or Cancel in response to the warning, end up squished towards the beginning of the second asset. The first chapter marker is correct, and all chapter markers thereafter are redistributed 12 frames apart from there. I only noticed this when I expanded the timeline view.
I thought maybe I had exported from Premiere incorrectly, but if I remove the first asset and place the second asset in the timeline first, the chapters appear where they should. It seems that any asset after the first exhibits this squished marker syndrome, and I don't have a clue why, or how to fix it.
Anyone have any ideas here?

OK, I just tried replacing the middle timeline clip here. Logistically, it works.
Here's what I did.
1. New project. Add 3 pre-transcoded elementary mpeg and ac3 streams to the timeline.
2. Check project.
3. Fix the reported error about gaps between clips. Unfortunately, I had to move the 3rd clip 12 frames away from the 2nd clip. This will introduce a 12-frame gap between clips. I did not try to build with the error uncorrected. NB: There was no gap error concerning the boundary between clips 1 and 2, so I expect the problem is clip specific.
4. Build a disc image. All of the audio was ac3, and with the different audio clip lengths (all less than 1/2 second difference), Encore re-transcoded the audio, and only the audio. My suggestion here is to use .wav files only.
5. Use File>Replace Asset to replace the middle clip audio and video streams with new, shorter ones.
6. Trim out the danger stripes in the timeline and butt the video and audio of the 3rd clip perfectly up against the end of the middle clip.
7. Check project. No gap error this time.
8. Build disc image.
I mounted each image in turn and played them in WinDVD. They played as expected. I cannot speak to how truly seamless the playback is because all of the clips I have for testing fade to black at the end. But WinDVD did not hesitate when going from clip to clip and there were no freeze frames that I could see.
So upgrading to CS3 will let you do what you want. It may be a perfect solution, and it may not, but it is certain to be better than what you get from En 1.5 going from timeline to timeline.

FCP Chapter Markers/Compressor

I have all my chapter markers in my sequence in FCP all set and I want to export with compressor so I can use the two files and load them into DVDSP.
If I export with compressor, will it automatically recognize my chapter markers when I bring them in for a chapter index in DVDSP?
I know you can do this with Quicktime movie export, but I honestly prefer Compressor so I was wondering if it will automatically do this itself within the program.

Hi Jonesi, I would highly recommend that:
• you *DONT "send to compressor" from FCP timeline or 'EXPORT to COMPRESSOR*" from FCP timeline because it is simply too slow. Instead create a EXPORT AS QUICKTIME MOVIE with (a QT reference MOVIE (dont tick "self contained qt time movie" in the QT dialogue box". . The use the refernce movie as INPUT to compressor.app. Try it it works great! MAke a compressor DROPLET for fully automated work flow.
• _Chapter markers should be made on the TIMELINE that is used for the final EXPORT_. +Beware not to use CHAPTER markers in nested sequences.+

Exporting QT with Chapter markers for iDVD

When I export a QT with Chapter markers for iDVD I get one movie file then a number of "AV" files - what are these and what do I do with them?
workflow as follows:
1.Place chapter markers in timeline using mm the Add Chapter Markers
2. set in/out points in timeline
3. export quicktime movie
4. select include Chapter Markers and include audio/video
5. do NOT select recompress all frames
6. DO select make self contained movie.
7. Open exported movie file in Quicktime and chapter markers are present
8. import ONLY the movie file to iDVD (NOT the AV files?) and answer yes to read all chapter markers
9. burn seems to work fine but when I playback on DVD player there is digital stuttering in the picture
Any ideas on how to remedy the problem?
thanks in advance
patrick

The project is only 75 minutes. Do think it is the codec that iDVD is using that is causing the stutter. I assumed that it always encodes using MPG2.
Any idea what the AV files are?
When I export as an uncompressed DV stream the file is 15 GB.
When I export as uncompressed QT I get one file (movie) at 2.5 GB then
5 more "AV" files that are each 2.5 as well. So when I import the movie file without the AV files am I missing something?
Should I look into DVD Studio Pro? I have version 1.5 but I am fairly unfamiliar with it.

Early automation even after troubleshooting

Hi guys,
It seems a lot of folks are posting about Logic reading automation early. The usual fix is preferences > audio > general > sample accurate automation > volume, pan, sends, plugin parameters. I have selected this.
Some have also reported having problems when their project start point is before 1.1.1.1. Mine is 1.1.1.1.
Also mentioned around the net is preferences > automation > snap offset. Mine is set to -5 ticks, which is tiny- my screenshot is showing more than a beat.
My screenshot shows basic automation of the linear phase EQ plugin and as you can see by position of my timeline, the gain on my high shelf should be at 0db but it has started to dip early.
Any and all help is welcome here- it's obviously impossible to work like this!

I can believe it, as the LP EQ induces extra latency ("straight" EQ's usually do not), and this extra latency is not visually compensated for (which is indeed (still) a flaw in Logic). Can you actually also hear the filter closing prematurely?
Can you go back to your first example and see if and how much of a difference it makes if you turn off all Plugin Latency compensation in the preferences?
Also, when certain latencies start building, just restarting coreaudio* from within Logic can reset that.
*Go Logic Pro>Preferences>Audio>Devices, untick and retick Enable Core Audio, close the window, core audio will be restarted (instruments get reloaded, as do samples), and any accumulated latency will be reset.

How to structure several scenes (in symbols) on the main stage timeline

Hi,
I'm new to edge animate but have a Flash background and I'm working in Edge Animate on a game which is structured in several scenes. Each scene I did put in a symbol. Now I wonder how to build the main timeline or the "story - controller" so to speak. I have all the scenes but I do not know how to connect them.
In Flash it was possible to add keyframes of scenes one after another (like stairs) and jump forward or backward if needed to load the movie clips. In Edge Animate all scenes (or symbols) are in place from the beginning of the timeline and I cannot move the symbol to a later keyframe. Of course I can move animations in the timeline. The only way I think is to hide the symbols first and make them visible if needed. But this does not seem to be the right way and I don't understand the concept of structuring complex animations yet.
I would like to know how to structure several scenes in Edge Animate properly. Something like a scene loader or unloader would be useful. Highly appriciate any hints to a solution.
Thank you,
JP

You can also use edgecommons to load edge composition into another edge composition.
Thank you to your tipp so I try to organize my scenes into compositions. I can successfully load a composition (scene2) into the main container :
EC.loadComposition("scene2.html", sym.getSymbol("mainContainer"));
Now I'm facing another situation. At the end of the loaded composition scene2 is a "Next Scene" button suppose to load scene3.html composition into the main container. "Next Scene" is a nested button inside the loaded composition screen2 symbol. How do I load the next compostion from the current one? This code for On Click of course does not work:
EC.loadComposition("scene3.html", sym.getSymbol("mainContainer"));
I think the refer to the mainContainer is wrong. Is it just a targeting issue or is it the wrong approach in general?

Trying to make a link under and object on the same timeline in-active

Hello Flash pros, I am wonder if there is a way to make a linked object deactivate if another object appears above it in my swf file. Basically when mousing over the a image that covers the link object, the hot spot still works which give the impression that the image that is showing above it has a link. Btw I already know how to place the overlaying image on another timeline of which the linked object is not on, but that is not what I am looking for in this case, I actually need the linked object to remain on the same timeline as the overlay images.
Please help
thanks
MontyRob

When you get back, move your posting to the AS1/AS2 forum if this doesn't resolve it for you. Make the image a movieclip and assign it a rollover code as well.
on(rollover){
this.useHandCursor = false;
That will block access to the button below but disable the cursor changing to indicate the image as an interactive object.

Good quality quicktime movie looks poor when played thru Final Cut timeline

I created a quicktime file with moving text in After Effects 6.5..when i play the movie file it looks fine..no aliasing or jagged edges on the text...
when I import the .mov file into finalcut (4.5HD) and immediately launch & play it in the viewer, it also looks fine...
but when i place the .mov file onto the timeline and play it from there, or when i relaunch that .mov file from the timeline into the viewer, the quality of the text looks degraded...
...so i'm thinking it's a setting issue...i don't think it's an AE issue because I was able to get a good quality image into the viewer in Final Cut...I'm using the DV NTSC 48khz standard settings...720 x 480...could it be the 'millions of colors' or the 'YUV video processing' settings selected in the sequence settings?
...thanks for any help!
peace
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

thanks...that helps...i've been watching it back on
the computer monitor..guess i'll have to do a quick
dvd burn to see how it appears on tv to see if that
was the issue...(no monitor or space to use a tv as a
monitor yet)
Whoa there! You shouldn't waste time burning a DVD to check the quality of your renders. In fact, you should be working with the video monitor (or TV) hooked up to your DV Deck or DV Camcorder as you work. That way, you can always be aprised of your quality. This is the way the manual says you should be set up at all times. However, you are cutting in a space that does not have room for a small video monitor? Wow, must be a closet or something.
If a video monitor is not convenient, then you can see an aproximation of the quality you'd see in a video monitor if you do the following: Zoom out your Canvas to precisely 100% and Uncheck Sq. Pixels in the Zoom pop up. You may need to resize the Canvas to see the whole image and if you are working with a small computer screen.
