Background Music Not Timing Correctly on Export to iDVD

Please let me begin by saying if I've missed the obvious thread where this has been answered, I sincerely apologize. Perhaps I didn't use the proper search terms, but I'm not finding this described elsewhere, and place myself, a brand-new user, at the mercy of the community to assist. (Forgive the newbie a bit of confusion, perhaps?)
Using iMovie 11, iDVD 09. I created a roughly one and a quarter hour vacation highlights movie in iMovie. It begins with a series of photos (with Ken Burns effect), and a transition between each photo (the "movie film" transitions"). I place background music from iTunes behind the photos, and in iMovie, timed everything to that the final photo appears as the music fades, then a transition to the actual video.
Looks good, sounds good....until I try to export the movie to iDVD. The photos transition more slowly than in the iMovie project, leading to a situation where the background music runs out well ahead of the videos. It's not just on the final disk--in the preview mode, I can see how the timing is off.
I've tried both profressional and high quality mode in iDVD, and end up with the same result. Now, the even more confusing part: throughout the remainder of the movie project, I don't see any syncing issues. At one point, I have an iTunes song underlaying video (not photos), and it begins and ends at the same time it does when I see it in iMovie. Dialogue looks good throughout--no odd effect of lips not matching sound. Even where I have iMovie sound effects on some transitions, they line up properly. It's just the pictures at the beginning.
Has anyone experienced anything like this, and is there a way to get around it?
Many thanks.

Thank you, Hazzard V. It is running along the bottom of the pictures, as a sound effect or title would. I tried exporting to a mov format, and it appeared to have the same result. I'm now trying to re-edit, with the music in the background (purple) and adjusting the duration of each photo slightly downward (not my original idea for how I wanted it to play out, but so be it). Trying to export again and see what happens. Fingers and toes crossed...and thank you for the helpful reply again.

  • "Non rectangular objects will not appear correctly when exported using CSS."

    I am using Ind CC 2014 exporting a document to a reflowable epub.  The document contains an .ai image.  The image exports correctly in some parts of the.epub but not others, where it is distorted. There is a warning on export :"Non rectangular objects will not appear correctly when exported using CSS."  Any suggestions appreciated.

  • Report does not display correctly when exported to adobe

    Post Author: mgisonda
    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    Hopefully someone can help me. I am currently running Crystal Reports profession version 10. I have applied service pack 1 and recently service pack 6. I am having a problem with the display of a report within adobe. My report is a bit complex. It is a 8.5x11 one page landscape report. It is set up in a grid format with multiple lines and boxes drawn on it. Here is the report information: Report Definition----
    Number of Database Fields:   144     Number of On-Demand Formulas:   40     UFLs in use:   None     Page N of M Used:   No     File Format Schema:   10.2.0    I created the report using CR developer. I use the report within a web project. The user requests the report and it returns to the user, an adobe file of the report. However, this is where I am having trouble. On my local development machine, the report displays fine. In CR developer, the report displays fine. When I export the report to Adobe from the CR Developer, it exports fine. BUT when I run the report from my web site, the adobe file that is returned is broken up over 42 pages. What seems to be actually happening is the return adobe file seems to think that the page size is 2in X 4in.. Where it got that, I don't know.The server running IIS is a windows server 2003. It has adobe 8.0 reader on it. I also have Crystal 10 Server Distribution loaded on it. And I have loaded CR10 Service pack 6 on that as well. Below is the web code that is used to display the report:Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared'Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReportsImports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.EngineImports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportClassPublic Class PrintInspectionLayout    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page   Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load        Dim mNotInSpringDesign As String        Dim mPartType As String        mNotInSpringDesign = Request.QueryString("NotInSpringDesign")        If mNotInSpringDesign = "TRUE" Then            mStockCode = Request.QueryString("StockCode")            lblNotInSpringDesign.Text = "Stock Code #: " & mStockCode & " does not exist in Spring Design."            lblNotInSpringDesign.Visible = True            Response.Write("<br><br><br><br><br><font color='blue'><center><a href='SpringDesignWildCardSearch.aspx'>Go To Search Page</a></center></font>")        Else            mStockCode = Request.QueryString("StockCode")            Dim pList As ParameterValues = New ParameterValues            Dim paramName, paramValue As String            Dim pV As ParameterDiscreteValue = New ParameterDiscreteValue            Dim Report As ReportDocument= New ReportDocument            Dim expOpts As ExportOptions = New ExportOptions            Dim pdfRtfWordFormatOpts As PdfRtfWordFormatOptions = expOpts.CreatePdfRtfWordFormatOptions            Dim expFormatOpts As ExportFormatOptions = expOpts.ExportFormatOptions            expOpts.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat            mPartType = Request.QueryString("PartType")            'SELECT THE INSPECTION LAYOUT TYPE TO PRINT            Select Case mPartType                Case Is = "C"                    Report.Load(MapPath("./Reports/CompressionLayout.rpt"))                    'Report.Load(MapPath("./Reports/PCAR.rpt"))                Case Is = "E"                    Report.Load(MapPath("./Reports/ExtensionLayout.rpt"))                Case Is = "T"                    Report.Load(MapPath("./Reports/TorsionLayout.rpt"))                Case Is = "W"                    Report.Load(MapPath("./Reports/WasherLayout.rpt"))                Case Is = "F"                    Report.Load(MapPath("./Reports/FreeFormLayout.rpt"))                Case Else            End Select            pV.Value = mStockCode            pList.Add(pV)            Report.DataDefinition.ParameterFields("StockCode").ApplyCurrentValues(pList)            Response.ClearContent()            Response.ClearHeaders()            Response.ContentType = "Application/pdf"            Report.ExportToHttpResponse(expOpts, Response, False, "")            Report.Close()        End If    End Sub    Any ideas as to the solution?

  • Flash not timed correctly

    Anyone had issues with their new iphone, my wifes flash is not working correctly.  It flashes the redeye, then flashes the normal flash, then takes a picture after the flash.  My new iphone 5 works fine.  Hers has also locked up.  I wonder if hers is defective, mine has been working flawlessly.  They are both the 64g versions.

    Try a soft reboot by holding down the home button and off button until the apple logo appears. I had the same issue and this has fixed it. Good luck!

  • How do you add background music to a DVD chapter menu in iDVD?

    I just need to add background music to a DVD menu-the main menu
    thanks

    Just to cover the bases, did you check the audio slider bar to the lower right of the iDVD menu screen to make sure that the sound is turned up, or check the menu slider bar for audio in the Menu pane?
    Is your song in aiff format? 
    Sometimespermissions and preferences can get corrupted. Whenever iDVD starts acting funny, a common maintenance procedure is to do the following: Delete preferences by closing iDVD and trashing the file com.apple.iDVD.plist found in User (the House icon)/Library/Preferences. Then do a permissions repair usingthe Utilities/Disk Utility App on your Mac. Open the Disk Utilities window and select the Mac hard drive icon at the top of the side pane at the left. Then click on the Repair Permissions button. When you have repaired permissions and deleted preferences, restart your computer and launch iDVD. iDVD will replace the .plist file that you deleted. Be sure also that you have sufficient free disk space on your hard drive for iDVD to function correctly. 25GB often is recommended by users of this forum. After doing all of the above, relaunch iDVD and see whether you still have the problem.

  • Ipad 2 music not playing correctly through ipod dock

    When I connect my ipad 2 using the ipod dock in my car, there is a LOT of background noise when listening to the music. It almost sounds like a soft static. It doesn't do this for my ipod or my iphone. I have checked, and the cable is correctly plugged in to the car. Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone know what is causing this?

    Try removing the com.apple.itunes.plist file out of your ~/Library/Preferences folder....that's your User Library...
    Just drag that file to the desktop while iTunes is not launched, then relaunch iTunes and it will automatically create the new .plist file.
    When you re-launch iTunes, it may tell you that it cannot find the iTunes Library folder....you should be able to select "Find" or something...select it, and that should work..
    If that does not work, go back into that Preferences folder in the ~/Library/Preferences, and again, remove the com.apple.itunes.plist, as well as any other .plist file that may be related to iTunes in there....
    Drag the iTunes app to the trash, go back to the apple website and download a fresh copy of iTunes, and try importing your Library back in again...
    Hope that fixed it.

  • Why is my music not listed correctly?

    I've been having this problem for some time now and it's been getting very annoying. The thing is, when looking at my artists, songs or albums in the music app on my iPod (4th gen, running iOS 6.0.1), some titles would be under the correct letter, and then there would be a random letter in the alphabet with 1 artist under it. Then, it would go back to the previous letter. If you don't understand, here's a photo example:
    It seems that every time I add a new artist or a new song by a pre-existing artist on my iPod, it gets out of order. Wasn't sure where to go first, so I thought I'd come here and, if no luck, I'll take it to the Genius Bar. I hope somebody can help me with this issue! Thanks.

    Your feed is at http://www.mothermusic.nl/podcast/JaguarPodcast.xml
    It has 13 episodes, all of which show in the iTunes Store. However episode 13 has no date and so appears out of order; the only possible reason I can see for this is that in your 'pubDate' tag you have a comma after 2014, which is strictly not correct.
    The media file URL for this episode is
    http://www.mothermusic.nl/podcast/Jaguar13.mp3
    and there is no file at this address.
    The Podcast Image appears correctly on the Store page, and the media file for episode 12 has an embedded image. There is of course no image for episode 13 when subscribing because there is no file there.
    If you have a question about your own podcast (as opposed to playing other people's) it's best to ask in the Producing Podcasts forum.

  • Music not transferring correctly to ipod

    I am quite confused. All of music is very well organized in both my music files on my computer as well as itunes. However, when I transferred my music into itunes some of the songs that correspond with the same albums will not stay together. For example, in my itunes library there are certain artists which I have more than one album from, and they will all be well organized and lined up correctly except for a remaining few that I cannot get to line up with the rest of the album even though I have renamed the artist and album name exactly the same in my itunes library. They should all line up together as one album, but instead they are at the end of the list of the artist.
    Such as,
    Song Name-----------Artist---------------Album
    Come Together-------The Beatles----------Abbey Road
    Something--------------The Beatles----------Abbey Road
    Oh! Darling------------The Beatles----------Abbey Road
    Because---------------The Beatles--------Abbey Road & so on
    Love Me Do------------The Beatles----------Beatles 1
    From Me To You------The Beatles----------Beatles 1
    She Loves You-------The Beatles----------Beatles 1
    I Feel Fine------------The Beatles----------Beatles 1
    Ticket To Ride--------The Beatles---------Beatles 1 & so on
    Mean Mr. Mustard----The Beatles----------Abbey Road
    Sun King---------------The Beatles----------Abbey Road
    Her Majesty------------The Beatles----------Abbey Road
    Why Can't I get those at the end named Abbey Road To line up with the ones above named Abbey Road. I have about 5 albums that I am having problems with.
    So then when I transferred my music to my ipod I am having the same problems. The Abbey Road songs that are at the end that should be at the top are coming up on my ipod as a whole new line with only those three songs in the artist. So I have one Beatles line with all 5 albums I have corresponding with that line then I have a second Beatles line with only the three songs from Abbey Road when in fact they should all be in the first line.
    It's not a huge problem; however, it is one that is quite annyoing. I'm sure there is a way to easily fix it I just don't know how to.

  • Music not syncing correctly to iPhone 5.

    I am having a very weird issue with iTunes/ my iPhone 5. I will use an album by Good Charlotte as an example. I can play the song "The River" in iTunes and it plays just fine, start to finish. But once the music is synced to my iPhone, it appears in the music area as expected. But, when I play "The River", around 2 minutes into the song, it will switch to another song, but still show "The River" at 2 minutes as if it is still playing, but a different song is playing. I have tried restoring my phone to factory settings and re-syncing the music to the phone, but this has not helped. It is not only Good Charlotte, I have found about 5 other artists that this happens to on my iPhone regularly. I know it is the syncing process that is causing the problem. I deleted the music from my phone, and re-downloaded them directly from the cloud to my phone and it got rid of the problem. I can't do this with all of the music I am having the problem with because there are MANY songs this is happening with and not all are in the cloud.

    I have just started to have trouble playing my playlists on the iPhone. It started to shuffle them and when I turned shuffle off, it would only play one song over and over again.  You have to open the iPod and manually advance to the next song.  That is obviously unsatifactory.  I downloaded the update on the iTunes software today.  That did not correct the problem.  I also restored the settings on the phone.  It wtill will not play a playlist in the order I have it.  There is some problem here.  I would also be happy to hear a reply on this issue. 

  • Effects: Level settings not rendered correctly in export

    I am having the following issue in Premiere Pro CS5.
    I have an image sequence with alpha placed over some film footage. The sequence is supposed to blend with the real footage.
    To do so, I have adjusted the sequence with a few effect filters.
    The filer setup is as follows:
    - levels
    - shadow/highlight
    - fast color corrector
    - levels (this one is added later for just a little bit extra control)
    In the program monitor it looks great, and the preview render on the timeline looks good. However, after exporting the media, the effect filters seem gone, or at least different from what it is supposed to be.
    Anyone familiar with this problem?
    Thank you,
    Robert

    Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately the issue is not solved yet. Like Colin expected, it's already set to software (The option "GPU Accelerated" is disabled).
    Some specs:
    - It's an 720p24 project
    - the overlay is an PNG sequence with alpha
    In the export render settings "Use Maximum Render Quality" was selected. But deselecting it, gave the same result.
    In "Sequence settings", the option "Maximum Render Quality" is also selected. What's the difference for these 2? Is it worth a try to deselect this option aswell?
    Any thoughts of what it could be?
    (if helpfull, I will try to post some screenshots of the problem)
    Thanks

  • Music not playing correctly, half songs... HELP!!!

    I purchased some music from Itunes and some of the songs only played half way through and then jumped to the next song. Then I tried downloading updates to ITunes and nothing changed. I tryed uploading my backed up Itunes library from my Lacie but now all my music is corrupted or missing. Every time I open Itunes it tells me the library isn't recognized then same thing. What do I do??? Sent a message to Itunes and no one knew the answer. They referred me to the support site. HELP!!!

  • Music not uploading correctly?

    I recently deleted an entire playlist off my iPhone from both the computer and the phone itself, but the same playlist/songs keep reappearing when I try to upload a different playlist. This is beyond frusturating, as it adds unwanted songs my Music. My old playlist had 233 songs, and my new playlist has 177 songs. The playlists have different names, and I completely deleted the old one off my computer and phone, but it somehow keeps reappearing. Prior to syncing, the phone states that it has absolutely zero music, but when I choose to sync the new playlist, the old one keeps coming up. I don't understand why this is happening. Everything on my phone and iTunes account is completely updated as well.
    Help Please? Any input and help would be greatly appreciated!
    I'm not sure if this is in the right discussion thread, sorry if it isn't.

    Are you manually managing your music or syncing the entire library?
    If you manually manage it I have seen that, that option is a little better to get what you want.   If your syncing the entire library or the playlists checked through the music tab on iTunes I have seen that option kind of act funny.
    My suggestion is too manually manage your music and see if it that helps.
    Hope this helps.
