Drop Zones not showing

I have a student who is using iDVD from iLife 08. She has put pictures in the three drop zones and added the movie. In the preview, everything looked good. Drop zone pictures showed up, music played, movie played. We burned the DVD. When we play the DVD no pictures are showing up in the drop zone. We are using the water droplet one and it just shows the drop and the ripple but no picture. We have thrown the project away and remade it three times and it has happened each time. Anyone have any ideas of what is up with this?
We are using macbooks to create these.

iLife 8 will not run under Tiger/ Do those Macbooks meet the requirements?

How do I resize an image within a drop zone (not the drop zone itself) in motion 5?

How do I resize an image within a drop zone (not the drop zone itself) in motion 5?

I think others would be able to help if you describe a little more why you'd like to do this. Given that drop zones are a way of passing images into Motion that you want to manipulate, resizing a drop zone is the equivalent of resizing the image.
If you're having a problem with an image from Final Cut being too big or too small, select the Drop Zone in the inspector and make sure the Fit parameter is set to 'Fit' - 'Center' will result in images dropped not being scaled to fit the Drop Zone. 'Stretch' will force the dropped image to fill the space defined by the drop zone,
If the image is already cropped and scaled up in Final Cut Pro, that is the information that Motion gets - you can't scale down the image to see more of the edges that have been cropped off.
If you want more than one copy of the image passed via the drop zone, use Make Clone Layer from the Object menu.

Photos in Drop Zones not visible

Hi,
I recently purchased a refurbished iMac and have used iDVD previously, but am having trouble with it now. It's my first attempt at iDVD since I bought the computer. I'm using a 6.0 theme, Reflection Black. When I drop photos into one of the eight drop zones, the zones go black. I can see in the drop zone editor area that the photo is loaded, just not visible. The twist is that the first time I use the photo it works. But if I try to drop it in the second time, or close the saved draft and then reopen, I get a black image where the photo should be. I've searched on the help topics, and can't figure it out.
Thank you!

You're right. There's not alot of info available on this particular issue regarding invisible slideshow photos. So let's try the following.
You say the photos are showing in the drop zone editor nevertheless ..... correct?
What happens when you add a transition (simple 3 second dissolve for example)?
If that fails to help then add music as well and then set the slideshow to "fit to audio". Post back with your results.

Submenu transitions & Drop zone Slide Shows

Two items:
Has anyone else run into these issues?
1) Submenu transitions don't work properly in preview mode.
2) When adding images for a slide show in a drop zone pane, the images are supposed to cycle--but mine don't unless I start fiddling with the loop time--which is not adequatley explained in the documentation.
G5 Dual Core 2.3 Mac OS X (10.4.6)
G5 Dual Core 2.3 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Cycling does occur based upon the loop time chosen.

Image in drop zone not sharp

Using a DVD SP menu template, I have dropped images into button drop zones. The .jpg files when viewed in photoshop are much sharper than when they are seen in the DVD menu format, even though the images as button images are even smaller than when the image is viewed outside of DVD SP. The unsuarp image stays there when I burn a DVD and test on a television or TV screen too, so it's not a matter of how it looks in simulate.
Any ideas on why the drop zone images are not sharp / how to solve to problem?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Pamela
Have just had a go at this operation on a brand new project and I did not get any of the problems you mentioned both as buttons and drop zones, have you tried it out in a brand new project to see if you get the same results as before, also you could try saving your files as a TIFF from photoshop to see if that increases the quality of what you get from a jpeg.

Motion drop zones not behaving

I have drop zones on a canvas x 4.
I have made this "Fit" setting.
The drop zones are not all the size of the footage for example one of them is really tall but thin.
When I place it in the fcp timeline the drop zones shrink to accomadate the footage.
Shouldnt the footage fill the drop zone wih the edges of the footage that don't fit being cut out?
I have tried "stretch" as a drop zone setiing and it distorts the aspect ratio of the footage. Centre looks no good either.
Can anyone help?

"Fit" means that the footage will be shrunk so that it completely fits inside the dropzone. This means that if the aspect ratio does not match, it will basically either letterbox or pillar box the footage.

Themes; Photos in Drop Zones Not full size

Please help. I'm trying to drag photos to the bumper drop zones but they won't appear full size. I've used several bumpers in my iMovie project already and this is the first time it won't work. Can anyone help me fix this problem?
Angie

Update - I realized this phenomenon is only happening on my current project, not any new projects. I tried "save as" to see if that would correct that problem, but no luck. Any thoughts?

Photo dragged to drop zone not resized

iDVD is supposed to automatically resize photos dragged to drop zones to fit the screen. Not so. The photo I dragged was cropped and enlarged. How do I fix it?

I also had this problem and it was only by chance that I decided to use a still image from my film to use in one of the drop zones (from iMovie). This photo fit perfectly in the narrow portrait drop zone. I opened the photo in Photoshop to discover the size is actually 960 x 720. I created a new image with these dimensions and placed my desired image in the exact middle of the display. Voila!

Drop Zones Not Appearing

The drop zones on the main menu of the DVD do not appear. I open the Drop Zone editor and it has a box for the Menu, but not a box for the drop zone. However, the sub menus are the same theme and have drop menus. I have tried Command-I and click the box at the bottom, but nothing.
Please help. Thank you.

That is so strange. I have drop zones on the above iDvd'08 theme that I can activate with a simple check mark or get rid of them by unchecking the same box.
If your software isn't allowing for such an option then I'd consider re-installing iDvd'08.
You do know that after you check or uncheck that tiny box at the foot of the inspector, that you then need to click on the screen which then activates or deactivates the drops zone/s. At least that's the way mine works. For example ....
Click Here
Btw ... before you do any re-installing of this software, please try a separate user account and launch iDvd from the new account to see if this duplicates the very same behavior or not.
Good luck on this and I'll check back with you later. (Wife and I have a date).

Drop Shadows not showing up with iweb 2.04 in firefox please help!

Drop Shadows on my frame are not showing up with iweb 2.04 and firefox please help!
They show up with safari but not firefox. I've read that publishing to mobile me solves it but I publish to my hard drive and ftp to my host (not mobile me).
Thanks for any help

Drop shadows, borders etc are a bad idea in that they increase the file size and the download time of your page.
Create your image, drop shadow etc on your iWeb page, take a screenshot, crop it and replace the original image with the, much reduced, JPEG>
Example....

Critical: Personal Time Zone not showing up for users

Hi Experts,
There's a issue that we are facing regarding time zones for users. Even after maintaining Personal time zones of users in there SU01, users are not able to see data in the system as per there local time zone. It is still showing in the default time zone. Is there paramter that is to be maintained for putting personal time zone into effect.
Regards
Rasheed

Hi Rasheed,
Usually when Timezone customizations are performed, the display is only converted on the screen for the end user. The actual data in DB still refers to System time zone... This conversion (Display) is supported for only a few objects like Notifications, confirmations and orders... Usually objects like change documents, logs, archived data and workcenter data does not have this conversion functionality...
In this case, i dont think we have timestamp in MB51 as its only posting dates that get logged... You can consider posting a query in MM forum to get answers on customizations but from a security standpoint i dont think we have any way to attain this requirement....

Drop Box not showing up

Hello;
Recently, I went to an iTunes U workshop and they were talking about the drop box option.
When I got back home, I tried to enable this feature and it didn't show up for me. When I opened up a course page, clicked on the tab that I called Drop Box, and next I clicked on edit access. According to some folks, I should have seen a second box that assigns specific permissions to this tab including drop box.
When I clicked on edit access, I am taken to the global access permissions with the following permissions: no access, download, shared and edit. I have Authenticated users set to download, unauthenticated users or no access, for the specific course: the instructor is set for shared and the students for this course are set for shared.
What am I doing wrong. I have been working with a Apple tech with a series of emails; he encouraged me to post here for help. HELP Please and thanks.

Hi,
If the certificate cannot be used for SQL Server and hence will not be visible in SQL Configuration manager. Check the validity of the installed certificate. It may not has the correct DNS name.
I suggest you request a new third party certificate from the vendor with the correct DNS name. Install it on SQL Server environment, then you should see certificate form the configuration manager dropdown box.
Thanks.

Image with Drop shadow not showing in table

I made an image for the header for my website. When I insert
it into my table, the white background is coming up with my drop
shadow. I made it on photoshop elements and saved it as GIF file
with Transparency checked. Any ideas so that it inserts into my
table like I see it on photoshop?

what is the background? an image? or a color number?
Does photoshop's color picker work outside of ps? If it does,
click it on
dw's design view window. If it doesn't, open the background
image in ps and
sample it. Or type in the hex color number if ps will take
that. if not-
convert the hex color to RGB.

Flash Menus cause my session variables to drop or not show temporarily until I refresh the page

I have a login routine that once a user logs into teh site it
creates a session variable. I have used this same script many times
without any problem but I now have Flash menus and it seems that
after logining in (session created) I will click on a menu item and
the debugging shows that the session variable isn't there. If I hit
the REFRESH button on the browser it appears.
Has anyone gotten this and know a way to get around it. I
have 5 pages I need for a user to navigate to after loging in but
the initial load doesn't seem to have the session set even though
it was set when they logged in but a REFRESH of each page
individually now has the variable.
Any Ideas...Is this something with Flash menus or
something?

Problem is solved by removing these 2 lines from iframe.html
if(navigator.appName=="Microsoft Internet Explorer")
document.location.replace("");

How to import all of the drop zones not just 2

I'm trying to import photos into "road trip" theme and on the open page it only lets me import 2 photos but the others remain. I want to import more photos instead a "motel" sign, a shot of an RV or even the photo behind the "title 1." How can I cover those or at least get rid of them. The "motel" has nothing to do with my "Road Trip" movie I'm making.
Please respond here and [email protected]
Thanks,
Ross

I kind of thought that, I just didn't want to believe it. Hopefully they will come out with some more themes other than the few they have.
