Create subfolders for many movies

My kids and me have hundreds of videos made at home. We would like to organise them on the Apple TV into folders. For example, under the folder Birthday, we would like to put various years and all our videos of birthdyas during the year in that folder.
Is there a way of doing this ? We can create folders and playlists in iTunes, but these playlists disappear and all the videos are alphabetically listed on the apple TV.
Any help appreciated.
TIA
Anil

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Unfortunately folders are not currently available for movies etc. Many believe this is one of the biggest omissions from the tv and I am one of those that agree.
Whether or not this gets included in a future update or not is anyone's guess but if consumer demand has any bearing on what gets included in updates this would be top of the list.

Creating menu for authored movies

Hi all,
I want to create a new menu for a movie. The problem is that the movie is already in a TS folder, and I don't know how to link the menu (play button) to the movie in the TS folder (iDVD won't accept vob files). Is this possible in iDVD or any dvd editor?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Greg,
My problem is not with authoring the movie however, it's that I don't understand how to add a menu to an already authored movie.
Since iDVD can't open an already authored movie, I know that it's impossible to finish it all within iDVD, but I like the menu editor in iDVD, and was hoping there was a way to create a dvd menu and then link it to an authored movie (by changing the scripting).As I said, iDVD cannot do what you described. Toast 7 Tatinium can. The VIDEO_TS already has the menu script and the encoded movie together. iDVD cannot take them apart and re-piece with a different menu script. Toast can take the main movie part and piece it with Toast's menu.

Creating thubnails for Quicktime .mov files.

Is there any way to create thumbnails for .mov files?

1] Try it with another user account (make one if you need to in Apple menu > System Preferences > Accounts)
2] If its only happening in your account:
Inside your hard drive, in the Users folder should be your user home folder (with your account name.) Within that folder is a folder called Library... open that and look for a QuickTime folder within, pull that QuickTime folder out to the Desktop. Do the same for Internet Plug-ins and throw away the ~/Library/Caches/QuickTime folder too. Then, open Preferences and pull out com.apple.quicktime... (all of them) and the QuickTime Preferences file.
Then log out (Apple menu) and back in (or restart) and try again.
3] If its happening for all users then try:
Pull the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plist to the desktop (Your QuickTime Pro registration is in that file so don't throw it away, just move it out, restart and try again.)
4] If there are still problems, try repairing your disk either with the OS X install disc (run Disk Utility from the menu bar) or by rebooting in Singel-User-Mode and running fsck. Then repair permissions with Disk Utility.
Let us know if you still have trouble.

Create snapshots for many images?

After I have completed editing on a batch of photos, I would like to create a snapshot for each selected photo. If I just create a snapshot, one is created only for the current photo, not for all others. Is there a way to create a snapshot for every selected photo?

I edit a few hundred photos from a shoot. I will now release them to one person in that form. Then I will further work on some for artistic development, probably with some further work in LR and then on to PS CS3. I want in some way to "mark" the ones I have released so I can get back to the released form of an individual image if needed. I'd prefer to do that at the first release stage rather than having to remember to take a snapshot before doing any further work--as I might forget to do that. I thought a snapshot was the way to do that.

Create batch for 531 movement in transaction COR6N

Hi,
I am using COR6n to record process order confirmations. As part of the usual 261 and 101 movements, I want to record a 531 (goods receipt of a bi-product). This is to record bi-product coming off the production line that can be used in other manufacturing processes. When I try tor record a 531 mvt in cor6n I am prompted for a batch number, the system does not create one automatically. Even if I go to the menupath Component -> Batch Management -> Create Batch I get the following error
Error when creating a new batch
    Message no. GOODSMOVEMENT016
Diagnosis
    When creating a new batch for material abcde in plant 123 an error
    has arisen.
Procedure
    You have the following options:
    o   Check automatic batch assignment.
    o   Check whether the material is currently locked.
    o   Check the batch number range.
I have maintained the necessary batch management customizing. Is there any way to create a batch number in cor6n for a 531 mvt?

Dear,
in general it shall be possible for GR by-product.
Message GOODSMOVEMENT 016 appears under the following conditions when tyring to create a batch:
              material_not_found

              error_check_batch_number
              no_external_number
              no_customer_number
As you can see there are many possibilities. You may try to find the reason, at best together with an ABAPer, checking the sy-subrc when calling function module VB_CREATE_BATCH.
But from far away it is almost impossible to find out the reason.

Creating Artifacts for "old Movie" look

I'm trying to create a symbol that will go over a silver screen in a project i'm working on. The symbol I want to repeat over and over and create an artifact look. Like how in the old moves you would sometimes get those lines on the sides or splotches.
I've tried doing a mask (So that only a certian amount of space is visable.) but it jsut flashed black and white.

Also, and I know I'm going to get flac for mentioning this, Matrox has a pretty good "Old Movie" effect. We've got the RT.X2 card and I used the effect for some footage a client needed for a Western-themed event. It let you control the amount of dust and scratches, the jitter effect and the grainness as well as making it pure black and white or sepia colored.
If you're looking for a free method, you can create the effect manually using After Effects, but it takes some effort. I'm pretty sure there are some tutorials out there to show you how to do it.
Take a look at this:

Creating Hyperlink for Flash Movie

Hi Guys
I have just created a flash movie. I have inserted the flash
into dreamweaver and when somebody clicks on the movie I want it to
take them to a certain page. If possible could I send you the .fla
file and you can send it back with it all linked up as I have been
getting annoyed with this all morning.
Thanks
J - 17 from Brits

ForensicBop,

Okay.

Easy enough, once you know how to proceed. :)

It's possible, sure -- but that goes agains the grain (and
benefit) of
why these forums are here. A dozen other people may have a
question similar
to yours, and by participating in a public conversation about
it -- and also
working it through publicly -- you not only learn a knew
skill, but
onlookers can learn it as well.
If you want the whole Flash movie to respond to a click, you
can either
create a so-called invisible button that matches the
dimensions of the whole
movie, then set that above all other layers, or you can code
your movie to
respond to mouse clicks globally.
The invisible button approach usually seems easier to
newcomers, but
neither techniques is especially difficult. What version of
the Flash
Player are you publishing to? (Most importantly, what version
of
ActionScript?)

How to create subfolders for Albums?

everytime i add a new albums to that long list, it gets very hard to find them again. sometimes i dont even know what im looking for because its just a random list. is there any way to improve it? i still wanna keep the albums as they are instead of just sorting the tracks. thanx.

Do you have 'Browse' turned on?
If you do you will get three new sections in the top of yuor iTunes window that shows you Genre, Artist and Album.
You can then click on these shorter lists and the main list below will be filtered.
To turn on 'Browse' click on the Eye shaped icon in the lower right hand side of the iTunes main window.
Also you can change the way tracks are sorted by clicking on the headings in the list. If you click on Artist then the tracks will be sorted by Artist, etc.

Why does iPhoto create subfolders for an album?

I have have about 20 albums in iPhoto, and I've never had an issue until recently. I created a new album, and have been dragging pictures into the album over the past 4 months or so (it's to update progress on the construction of our new house). When I drag photos into the original album, iPhoto creates a subfolder within the original album. The outcome is that I have 92 "untitled album"s within the original album. Worse, when I sync my phone and want to have this album on my phone, the original album doesn't show up on my list of albums, but the 92 untitled albums do. Is there a setting that I'm missing? This had never happened with the other 20 or so albums I have on iPhoto.

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

How do i keep itunes from creating a folder for each movie that I add to my library?

When I add a movie to my library, iTunes 10 creates a SubFolder to the iTunes Movies folder, for each movie I add. The older iTunes just added the Files to the Movies folder, whithout creating subfolders for each movie.
Is there a setting so that i can make version 10 do this?
Thanks,
Chuck

No, there is no custom setting for this. I wouldn't advise it, but if you really want you could downgrade to the older folder layout. However all your other folders will be arranged in the old layout too which may no be what you want.
See this old post of mine for more details. (Read the last bit first.)

Is there any way to create subfolders instead of playlists for videos?

I know that ipod has changed things up by adding a "tv show" feature in the video section. However, what if you have a video that doesn't fall into one of the categories already listed. That being, "Movies", "Music Videos", "TV Shows, and/or "Video Podcasts".
Instead, what if you wanted to title a folder yourself. Does Apple not offer the capability yet?
Furthermore, is there a way to categorize videos into an episode format, much like in the "TV Show" section, but in the "Movies" folder. Or can you sync videos into the "Video Podcast" section from itunes with the possibility of being able to create subfolders for view on the ipod.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

iPods, unlike iTunes, don't support folders or subfolders for videos or music. So, for now, you'll have to make do with playlists.

How to create presets for Keyframes in Adobe Premire Pro CC?

Dear Users,
I´m working on a Clip with more than one Video inside. I want to have one video in the back and the other Video on the right lower side (Picture in Picture).
Sometimes the right one should move to full screen and after a few seconds it should go back to the lower right again. This action
will be repeat many times in the complet movie, so I have to create keyframes for the movement (right to full screen / full screen to lower right).
All the time I have to copy the needed Keyframes and have to paste them on the new direction, but this needs many time.
So my question: Is it possible to make presets for the keyframe actions? Means, if I reach a position where I need the action
"right to full screen" I have to klick only one Preset Button and the keyframes will be added at this position!
Hope there is a possibility.
Best regards and sorry for my bad english!

Hello,
You can try the following work around with composition:-
1) Add a you tube video to the page.
2) Drag the video to the target of composition widget.
3) Resize the video to have the size of the target.
The triggers can have the images related to the videos so as to act as thumbnails for videos.

Thumbnails for QuickTime MOV files?

Hi
Is there a way to make Windows Explorer create thumbnails for QuickTime MOV files? I'm really desperate to get a solution. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
You should have known this would be caused by some registry entries were modified incorrectly by some software, especially third party codec pack.
I would suggest you import the a good known copy from a good display windows 7 computer, just import such this content:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov]
@="WMP11.AssocFile.MOV"
"Content Type"="video/quicktime"
"PerceivedType"="video"

Mail: trouble creating subfolder for some mailboxes (pop ones?)?

I am trying to create a subfolder in mail for a pop account. I click on the mailbox I want to create a subfolder for. I click on the "+" at the bottom of the sidebar and choose "new mailbox" and then create new mailbox window pops up, but it doesn't include the mailbox I want to use as a choice to create a subfolder for. It wants to put it in the "on my mac" mailbox. I can easily create subfolders for my gmail accounts, but it won't let me for my three "pop" accounts. Can anyone help me on this? Thanks!
