Can't Build project: "Marker position in movie not at GOP boundary"

I am doing a slideshow project in DVDSP4, my first using Aperture as the raw converter instead of ACR. Since I'm not liking the way the colors look in simulation mode, I decided to build the project now, before it is finished, so that I can see how it looks on a DVD player hooked to a TV. However, as soon as I start the build, I get the error message that one of the photoshop files has a "Marker position in movie not at GOP boundary". How can that be—these are stills, not video. Would the fact that I have not renamed the file cause this kind of error message? The rest of the files have been renamed in sequence, this particular one has not. I know I have done this kind of thing successfully in past projects, and am not sure why things are different now.

Hi:
I never experienced that error but try this: go to DVDSP preferences and in the Track settings select the option "Fix invalid markers on build" and try building it again.
Search is your friend !

Unable to burn - Marker position in movie not at GOP boundary?

I just got this message when I tried to burn my DVD:
"Slideshow 1,IMG_9687.JPG:Marker position in movie not at GOP boundary"
What does it mean and how do I fix it?
Thanks

False alarm folks. I posted this prematurely. I did a search and Drew13 answered this exact problem in a previous post.
Thanks search function and thanks Drew.

Invalid Marker Position on Build

When I attempt to Build and Format a project in DVD Studio Pro 3, I receive and error message: "Invalid Marker position. Distance between markers must be at least .4 seconds".
I find no markers on export from FCP that are this close.
I would much appreciate any suggestions...

Hi Steve
Welcome to the forum.
In the DVDSP preferences window, in the Track tab there's a check box that says 'Fix Invalid Markers On Build'. Tick this box and that should solve your problem.

I can see my project in the movies folder but cannot open it, why?

I have been working on a project for three hours, the FCP quits unexpectedly and when I restart the prgram the project is gone as if I never started it. I can see the project in the Movies folder but it will not open. What am i doing wrong?

Can you provide us with a screen grab of the folder so we can see the current structure.

Linking library with flash builder project?

I have a flash builder project going and I have found I need to make various movie clips and sprites in in Flash Pro. Is there a simple way to just link my library from the .fla project to my builder project so I can access the assets made in the .fla?
I'm using the latest version of both software packages.
Thanks!

Open your .actionScriptProperties file and set useFlashSDK to false. This will allow you to use your older SDKs. They are managed in the same way as Flash Builder 4.6 when this option is changed.

FAQ: Are there best practices for building projects within the 20 page/state limit?

The 20 page/state limit in Flash Catalyst is there to prevent Catalyst (and your finished application) from running slowly. You can however build efficient applications that have more than 20 states by using custom components. Custom components can contain states as well; so by creating an app that has several states, and using custom components that have states, you can get more unique views of your app while keeping it efficiently built.
Try this:
1. Select some of your arwork where you need more states. Right click and choose "Convert to Custom Component"
2. Double-click to edit the custom component. Note that you can now create states in the custom component. Try creating a few states here.
3. To exit editing the component, double click a blank area on the artboard.
4. If you try creating an "On click transition to state" interaction now you will see that you can choose from both the states of the application as well as the states of the custom component.

Here's an ASCII diagram to illustrate one way of pushing application or top-level pages/states down into a custom component:
Before:
State1     State2     State3     State4     State5     State6     State7...
After (project refactored to push three top-level states down into a custom component):
State1     State2     State3      State7...
                    |
Custom Component
State4     State5     State6
For some projects this can be an inconvenient workaround, and for others it can really clean things up by reducing complexity. If you have several top-level pages in your app that are completely different than other pages (for example, they don't share any objects with the other states) than pushing these down into a custom component makes things a lot more manageable in Catalyst. The layers panel, for example, shows all objects across all states-- this is useful when your states share many objects. If however, your states don't share a lot of objects, the layers panel can get a bit unmanageable. Refactoring into a custom component allows you to fix this by grouping content into a container.

Google for java.library.path and find out how to use/set it to locate native libraries.
And here I'm hoping that you're not writing yet another spam bot. If you are in fact writing a spam bot: burn in heck.

i've run the OnyX cleaner program and Disk Utility / verify.
i'm running Snow Leopard, 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro. plenty of storage memory and RAM. this is a new problem.

Dragged all the movies out of the events folder. Deleted the com.apple.IMovieApp.plist file in the preferences folder in my library (as recommended by another site), open up IMovie, it goes straight to the spinning beach ball and hangs forever.
And yet, I can open up the program under another user account no problem.

Can I build a interactive log-in form with Edge and Export Raw code to edit?

Hey Everyone,
I love adobe edge, but I'm still getting used to it. It's very easy to use, but I ran into an issue. I am redesigning a webpage for a client and need to build a log-in page and re-design the site. The site is a Dashboard that will be on an ipad and computer. What I need to do is take my design and design a template for them to use. They require HTML4 and up with some coding (not a fan of coding, I am strictly a designer, and before you guys critize about why I took the job when I don't know coding, it's a side project they are having me do for them while the main design project is being evaluated and I'm on contract so I don't have a choice, still would like to learn how to achieve what I need) but I still want to maintain the animation I have planned for the log in, very simple nothing special. Basically what I want is when you log in and click in the "text" box the background image will go from the clear image to the blur image.
What I've done so far,
I built the log-in page as a test to see if it would work (didn't take long since I saved as a PSD and imporated the files). I've attached an imagw to show a visual of what I am trying to do. The animation works fgreat for what i need, but now I want the box I click in to be writtable inside and work with the animation. I can't seem to figure out how to make the box's I created typable to type in for a "Username" and "Password" in other word interative. I used the boxes provided in edge because they are HTML boxes, but I want them to become text boxes to enter the Username and Password (It doesn't have to be perfect just enough for me to type in to pass off to the programmers). I know you can make edge interative with muse and what not and I was hoping to achieve what I want for them so I can export it and pass it off to the programmers. Is there a way to add this in Edge? If not, I know you can export to Dreamweaver and when I import the file to Dreamweaver I just see a grey box with the file I created (.oma I think) from Edge but not the content unless I "Preview it" in a browser.
So is there a way to build what I want in edge without resorting to dreamweaver? If so and there is code to input can you guys provide step by step on how to put it in the program? And is there a way to export the project so I can pass the RAW code to the programmers to do there thing? Lastly, is there a way to incorporate Jquery mobile to Edge? For the Dashboard can I build the same thing in Edge? Example what will be in there are things like charts, Calendars, Dates, Etc, Etc. If I need to resort to building it in dreamweaver I can provide the code for you guys to alter to change for what I need. Like I said I'm not a big fan of coding and a little stranger to it. I just know the basics and the fact I haven't touched dreamweaver since CS4 makes it even harder to use. Some tools I like are gone such as AP divs. However i like the new elements you can inject into the program such as the Jquery stuff, but for the simplist things I want to do such as moving them left or right or centering them is a different story.
Please Help!
Thanks!

Can't open project on External Harddrive

I'm using iMovie 5.0.2 and working on a project that is saved on an external hard drive.
After 6 hours of editing, the power cord came out of the hard drive. I connected everything and tried to save the project. I then got scared and stopped the saving. Now I can't open the project. I can't save it to another part of the hard drive and open it. Every time I try to open the movie it says :
A project file is missing.
The file "_" couldn't be opened
and is being skipped. Click Ignore All
to skip any remaining missing file messages.
The iMovie quits. If I can find the files- all won't be lost. Plus, I have a high res quicktime file saved of the raw footage. But, I would like NOT to lose that 6 hours of work.
Can I open this file? Did I mess it up? Where are the video clips saved? I can't find them. I have iMovie on my laptop and the project saved on the hard drive.
Thanks for any help. This is why I'm so done with video Just a few more projects to do. After 15 years this type of crap drives me crazy.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't do anything more with your iMovie. Don't try another save, as that can write over your last good saves. You MAY be able to retrieve the prior save. Hopefully, you saved as you went along during these 6 hours so you can retrieve a very recent saved version.
(These types of accidents have made me realize the importance of backing up my movies-in-progress as I am editing them. I did not do this in the past, and now I try to do it at least at the end of each editing session so that not all would be lost. I had an external drive fail suddenly and all of my movies were gone. Fortunately, I was able to reimport the original footage, but frequent saves would have been best).
In iM6, you can access the project files by control or right-clicking on the star icon and selecting 'show package contents' to let you see the movie files. One or more of the icons will have a tilde ~ or several of them. Those are prior versions of the iMovie, and can be used to get back to a prior save.
In iM5, I think you can just directly open the project files and see the movie files as ~ files with the name as "yourmovie.mov" It might be in a Cache folder and might be called "Timeline Movie.mov." If you don't see anything like a Cache folder, try doing the process for iM6 above. If you see multiple .mov files with ~ and then more ~~ or even ~~~ those are more versions. You may have to try one or more of these to find the latest one possible.
Once you locate the .mov version of your movie, open a new iMovie project and drop in one of the .mov~ movies into it and see if it works. If so, continue editing with this one. This version will be all in one clip, so more editing is a bit more difficult, but not impossible and at least you will have some of your work back.
It's crucial you NOT save the messed-up project right now, for that will destroy the good QuickTime movie, replacing it with a bad "empty" movie.
(Thanks to Karl Peterson for the info re: retrieving prior saved movies).
Good luck!
