Controlling QT Movie with Chapters in KN 3.0.1

Has anyone experimented with QT movies that have chapter markers in KN 3.0.1?
We would like to be able to select the various chapters of a given QT movie while it is playing in a KN show - ideally with the pull down menu that appears in the controls area of a QT movie (or something like it), presumably on the "operator" screen (i.e. not visible on the projected "show" screen)
I am aware this may be a tall order but even if we had the ability to just jump to the next chapter heading in the movie that would still be quite helpful.
I am aware that I could just cut the QT into separate movies and put them on individual slides but that would not edit from one video section to the next as instantaneously as simply jumping to the next chapter marker (whether by just using the "tab" key or something similar or by actually pulling down on a chapter menu somewhere on the presenter's screen.)
While I'm at it, shouldn't there be an easier (more Mac-like) way of putting chapters in a QT movie. The procedure outlined on the Mac site is at best cumbersome and seems to be a bit buggy and is certainly overly involved for something that should be an intuitive point-and-click kind of operation. I have also tried the premaid applescripts for this purpose but was unable to get them to work. May well be my screw-up but like I said, the prospect of adding a couple of chapter markers to a QT should take seconds and be done from a pull-down in QT Pro - I can't understand why it's so complicated.
Much Thanks.

I started to answer a while back and safari crashed so I gave up.
There's no way to get Keynote to see the chapters, but to answer your other question...
try this:

I think their Textation app lets you add chapter tracks.
I usually use Final Cut Pro to make chapters, then once I've run my final DV movie through compression those get stripped out. A few simple steps and you can graft the chapter file from your original DV file into the web versions (we do this every week at my church).

Can I create a submenu in a movie with chapters?

I have a 1 hour instructional movie with 9 chapters. I want to add dozens of submenus. I know how to go back to FCE and make chapters, but how do I make dozens of sub menus from within idvd??
imac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi Bob
Just to mention so You not get confused. (often asked question)
If You make a movie with chapters iDVD will give a menu:
- Play full movie + Chapters (on sub-menu)
But when You select say chapter 3 - it will play this and then continue
with Ch4 and to the end.
This is the way iDVD works !!! To just play a separate Chapter You either have
to usa another program like DVD-Studio pro (at a high cost).
or
a. import full movie (with no chapters
b. import each chapter as an individual movie and put them on a sub-menu
And this is the only solutions.

QT Movie with Chapters manually added does not import into iDVD 7

I have read several threads regarding the use of Chapters in iMovie and iDVD version 7. Since I do not own any of the pro applications I decided to create a test QT Movie with manually added chapters as described in the QT Pro Manual. I was able to create the chapters and save the movie. However, when I dropped the movie into iDVD 7 no chapters were created. I checked the iDVD Prefs and the "create chapters" option is turned on. I have read that people have been able to drop movies with chapters using one of the pro applications, but I have also read that iDVD does not always correctly encode the chapters.
Has anyone had success adding QT Movies with manually created Chapters into iDVD7?

For what it's worth, I tried manually adding chapter markers to my movies in QT Pro using those same instructions - didn't work for me (iDVD didn't recognize the chapters).
I found another application called Metadata Hootenanny (free) that easily adds chapter markers. When I did that, iDVD recognized them and automatically added a chapters sub-menu when I imported the movie. This was all in iDVD '06.
I've tried this quickly in iDVD version 7 (imported the same chapter-embedded QT movie as above) and it did the same thing (automatically added chapters sub-menu). Hope this helps.
Regards,
Bill

Controlling captivate movie with JavaScript

Hi,
I am trying to use Flash methods to control a captivate movie
using procedures documented in the support center article:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/publishexport/scriptingwithflash/scriptingwithflash_03. html
I am using the following code in a JavaScript:
var movie = window.document.Captivate1;
movie.StopPlay();
Captivate1 is the object ID assigned by Captivate when it
generates the HTML file. The movie does not respond to the command.
I have created my own Flash movie and the StopPlay command
works with it.
Thanks in advance for any help anybody can provide!

Captivate SWFs don't respond like other Flash movies. You can
use similar techniques, but must use some specific, legacy "control
variables" that are hanging around since the RoboDemo days:
To pause a movie, use rdcmndPause = 1;
A good place to find more details is here:

Quicktime movies with chapters

Has anyone found a way to get Front Row to recognise chapter markers in movies?
I've created movies where both Quicktime player and iTunes recognise the chapters, but Front Row can't skip ahead (although it will play the movie).
I'm in the process of ripping various DVDs onto my new Mini, and while I can deal with X Files episodes that don't have markers, I'm not sure how I should tackle concert DVDs. I don't want the whole show to be one file where I can't move around, and creating a file per chapter is useless too, since a) AFAIK I can't use video playlists and b) video files in folders are listed alphabetically, and only played one at a time.
Any ideas? If any Apple engineers are reading this, is it possible to add support for this in a (not too far off) future revision?
Thanks,
Johannes.

Controlling multiple movies with one button

Hi flash gurus,
I have 4 movies of the same length running on my stage in the
FLV playback component, with different instance names. I also have
a single play/pause component. I want all of the movies to play
together and unpause/pause when I press the play/pause button.
However, I have only been able to get the play/pause button to
control one of the movies (the last one listed in the
actionscript). I'm using the following code to attach the
play/pause component to the FLV playback movie:
FLV_instance_name1.playPauseButton = PlayPause_instance_name
FLV_instance_name2.playPauseButton = PlayPause_instance_name
FLV_instance_name3.playPauseButton = PlayPause_instance_name
FLV_instance_name4.playPauseButton = PlayPause_instance_name
When I use this, the play/pause button only controls the
FLV_instance_name4 movie. How do I get it to control all 4 moives?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

PS, I'd also prefer for the controls to be detatched from any of the viewers, if possible. Thanks!

How can i ripple delete the movie with chapters included?

Hi,
I like to remove certain movieparts by the razor tool or ripple delete. However, the 50 chapters I created don't move together with the moviepart. Any way I can leave out movieparts and all the chapters follow the ripple delete command?
Any feedback on this would be great :)

Chapters are associated with the timeline, not clips.
You'll have to do this by hand.

Movie With Chapters

I have designed a Flash movie for a client that, now that the
project is near completion, has asked for a menu to appear at the
end of the entire movie that would allow for a viewer to jump back
to the introduction or any other chapter (principle 1-principle 9).
I have placed frame labels as markers at the correct locations, but
my issue is this...
Is there a easier way to add the menu with buttons that would
jump to these specific sections within the movie without having to
copy and paste the whole movie twice. (Did that make sense?) Should
I copy the entire movie and paste everything into a movie clip and
then dump the movie clip back in a separate scene with the menu on
top of it?
One of my main concerns is to not add a tremendous amount of
additional space or file size by doubling the movie and all of its
frames. One issue that stopped me from just adding the navigation
menu to the entire movie is that they want the viewer to watch the
entire movie without the menu in order to reveal the menu so that
they can jump back to a specific section or chapter.
Here is a link to where I am at so far... and no laughing at
the content. I had nothing to do with it! In advance, thanks for
everyones help!

Why not add a button at the bottom that says "view menu" that
is always
visible. When a user clicks on menu, the menu pops-up or
slides in. Sample:

Homemade movies with chapters question? I have numerous VHS movies converted to DVD and then are converting the DVDs into MP4 via HandBrake. I am now trying to find the chapters within the converted DVDS with no luck using QuickTime 7. Help plz.

How do I find the chapters within a Homemade DVD when it has been converted via Handbrake to MP4 and editing ready on Quicktime Player. I want to get chapters only out of the movie that has 23 chapters so I can edit one chapter at a time. . Found it once when it said divide into chapters (or something like this) , but can't find it again. Thanks for the help.

How do I find the chapters within a Homemade DVD when it has been converted via Handbrake to MP4 and editing ready on Quicktime Player.
If you included the chapter information originally contained on the DVD as part of your HandBrake conversion, then it will be located in the "Text" track of your converted file. Did you actually check the "Chapters" tab in HandBrake before converting the DVD content to ensure the chapters were to be included in final export? I.e., not all HandBrake presets automatically include a "Text" (Chapter) track.

Control loaded movie with actionscript

Is it possible to get a button in my main movie to effect a
loaded movie. I need to make one element inside a loaded swf become
transparent. What would the code for that look like?

lets say you loaded your SWF into holder_mc and the the
element is inside another movie clip in the SWF named your_mc and
the actual element is name element_mc
yourbtn.onRelease = function(){
holder_mc.your_mc.element_mc._alpha = 0;
}

How to create iPad-ready movie with chapters In PP & media encoder

Is there a tutorial to do this? I've seen it mentioned a number of times related to the "end of life" for Encore, but can't find anything in my Media Encoder nor Premier Pro CC to indicate how to do it.
Thx...jw

Which version of Premiere? CC does not include Encore, but you can download the Encore CS6 from your account. As it is part of Premiere CS6, I believe you would need to download and install Premiere/Encore CS6, and then you can uninstall Premiere CS6, leaving Encore CS6 installed.
If you have Premiere CS6, then you already have Encore CS6. In either case, from Premiere, use File > Export > Media to open Media Encoder. For FORMAT, choose "MPEG-2 DVD", then choose an appropriate preset from the list. For instance, if editing with 1080i, then you might choose NTSC Widescreen High Quality. For 1080p, then use the Progressive version, etc.
What is your source video format? If starting with HD, then check the box at the bottom of AME for Max Render Quality, it helps with the scaling.
Hit EXPORT at bottom and it exports two files, an .m2v for video and .wav for audio. Open Encore, start a New DVD project, and then File > Import > As Timeline and grab both those files for import. From there, I recommend finding an Encore tutorial, too involved for me to type it all out here.
Hope this gets you going at least, but search online for tutorials, there is plenty of good, free stuff out there
Thanks

Control Test Movie (settings)

novice here, flash cs3 on mac
when i Control > Test Movie with an animation, the preview is not cropped to the stage size
i see eveything out in the grey, which i don't want to see
i just can't find the right settings, if they exist
i'm assuming the stage is akin to the page bounding box in illustrator, so test movie should behave like 'print preview'?
thnx, sam
ps, god i miss the classroom, friends of ed books and lynda.com are great but still!

thnx,
i guess my prob is, my test swf just opens in a new Flash tab, same size as the Flash drawing board area
my banner is only 150 px tall, and i can't even minimize the flash window that short, plus it's a pain to have resize your flash window everytime you want to view a properly 'cropped' preview
can i set test movie to automatically open in a new correctly-sized window? i understand the swf will ultimately be viewed on a browser-sized html page, but doesn't the stage crop out everything in the grey when you publish it??

Require help controlling the time line of movie with AS 2.0

I am trying to control a movie clip via action script through a button.
My Flash File has a master movie clip "masterMC" that contains all of
the movie clips for the flash movie. It is essentially a calendar that
when the user clicks on a date a small box pops up with the event(s)
scheduled for that day.
Inside "masterMC" there is a movie clip "calendar" and a movie clip
"events" both with similar instance names. Inside the "calendar" movie
clip are calendar graphics of different months (oddly enough) where the
dates on which an event falls is a button symbol. I have a layer in the
"masterMC" that holds the action script for the buttons. I am trying
to, when a button I pressed, trigger a specific frame to play in the
"events" movie clip that brings up the box with the events. One of my
button's code looks like:
Oct18_btn.onRelease = function (){
eventsMC.gotoAndPlay("oct18");
I have verified all instance names, frame names, letter case etc... And
cannot figure out why when I test the movie nothing happens when I click
the button. Is there a problem in the code or could it be something
else? Thank you.

I apologize for harping on about this, I have been away for a couple weeks and just saw this. I think this is the case. The "eventsMC" and "calMC" are in the "masterMC" however the button is inside of another movie clip called "octMC" within the "calMC" therefore I cannot seem to manipulate the action script correctly to achieve the result I want. I have tried everything that has been posted as a possible solution and have gotten nowwhere. I tried putting the script directly on the button as:
on(release){
eventsMC.gotoAndPlay ("oct11");
and all varients using "_root." etc... and have gotten nothing. I attached the .fla file if anyone is willing to take a look and help me; the only button I have been working is the one for OCT 11. I simply want to repeat the same process each time an event falls within a day of the month. Thank you.

Combine several Quicktime (.mov) files into a DVD with chapters

I made several Quicktime movie segments (.mov) that I periodically upload to Youtube. Now I have a collection of these short 30 secs to 5 minute videos that I want to incorporate into 1 DVD.
How do I burn it with chapters to represent each videos?

I was experimenting on different formats (they are converted to mp4, m4v and mov files before uploading to Youtube) at the beginning before I settled on .mov files. My Macbook only have 80 gigs so I want to preserve all of the clips I did in DVDs before I erase them from the hard drive before importing/starting a new tape. All of them were captured using a Sony Digital 8 camcorder.
