FCP X, Can I select part of a sequence to make a DVD

A client gave me his camcorder and asked me to transfer the footage to DVD. I've got over 4.5 hours on the time line and still have lost more to do. Can I select part of the timeline to make a DVD (say by year)? Is there a better way to do this, perhaps create a file like a .mov and put it on a drive that they could connect to a TV if that's even possible.
I'm open to all suggestions.

FCPX 10.0.6
I haven't seen any docs that say you can share anything less than a "project". I just tried it here: opened a project, selected two discontiguous clips, and clicked Share to DVD. It created a DVD image of the whole Project. Same thing happened when I shared a 720p version to iTunes -- it created a video of the whole project/timeline.
Why not create a new Project for each DVD you want to create?
(The first sentence of the second paragraph of my earlier post may been confusing. The raw materials belong in the Event library as one or more Events. A Project is what you want to deliver to the 'customer'. Several Projects can be built from one or more Events. "tplynchy" may want to produce a DVD of clips from "1998", so desirable segments from the camcorder tape's event(s) should be assembled into a Project named "1992" and then shared in one or more forms.
(There should never been 4.5 hours of material in a project's Timeline.)

    You need a computer with the appropriate software.

  • How can I select part of a word?

    This is really, really dumb. I'm in Illustrator CS5 on Mac OC X 10.7.3. I have a word.
           PIPIIonline
    I just want to select the "II" and make them Italics, like:
           PIPIIonline
    but Illustrator will not allow me - no matter what I try to select the two "II" characters. Any suggestions?
    Thanks. Rick

    You';re welcome!
    It is a common error and as you see it even went by experience users at first because the feature though useful at times is not used that much and the keyboard shortcut is easy to accidentally invoke.
    And I aghree until it happens to you it is something you would probably not know.
    Glad that that was the problem.
    BTW if you ever need to hide the edges on purpose keep in mind that the text or objects do actually get selected only you can't see it.

  • Can't Select Any Transitions in Sequence

    ... even cross dissolves that I just applied. I suspect it has something to do with the sequence being nested elsewhere. I am currently working in the original sequence though and need to modify some transitions.

    Boy do I feel like a dweeb... I was trying to select with the pen tool. I knew it was something simple, but that's embarrassing. Thank you Tom! You saved me again!

  • Can you print the "theme" you used to make the dvd onto the dvd?

    I used the roadtrip theme.  I want to print directly on to the dvd, and I want to use the same roadtrip theme.  can you do this?  how?  if possible.

    Is this the background you're looking for?
    It's located in the HD/Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/iDVD 6/Road Trip-Main.theme/Contents/Resources folder.  Or you can just drag the background image from this post to your Desktop.
    If you want to have the images you added to the dropzones included then take a screenshot of the iDVD window as Klaus1 suggested.  That will give you a 72 dpi image like this:
    with the dropzones filled of course.

  • How do I select part of a clip to import in Final Cut Pro 10.0.7?

    Greetings. I'm a newby in FCPX.  I've been watching Michael Wohl's tutorial and it looks like I should be able to mark parts of clips stored on my HD to import into the event browser.  But I don't seem to be able to mark the clips with either the "i o " keys or dragging.  Only the full length clip can be selected. Is this feature diabled in 10.0.7  or am I missing something?  I also don't seem to have the film strip/list icons at the bottom of the Media Import window.  thanks!

  • Why does the highlighting/underlining feature only select parts of words?

    Is there a reason why in certain PDF's I can only select parts of words? Before in the same document I was able to select, underline, highlight, etc., with no problem. Has there been an update or change to the software that causes this to happen? Can it be fixed?

  • I can not print only a selected part of a page

    I have reset the print.print_printer and still can't print only the selected part of a page. I highlight what I want to print and use control P to get to the printer setup. Then I click the selection button and then OK. The preview screen shows what would print but the page has blank space above what was selected. This has only started to happen since the upgrade to FF 11.0. I have tried the same operation using IE and it works fine. please, is there a fix for this??

    Hi jweigh,
    This is a known bug. You should take a look at this thread:

  • How can I select only a small part of the image to clone or edit etc?

    I want to select part of the image to clone is, and just edit the selected part. I know i can do this on photoshop but how do i do it on Aperture?

    You use the "Retouche" brush in Aperture and set it to "clone".
    Option-Click on the location you want to clone from to select a source, and then brush over the location where you want to clone to. The cloned region will follow the shape of the brushed area. You do not lasso the shape to to copy and paste it like in Photoshop.
    For example: Duplicating a penguin: The sourcepoint has been set to the beak of the second penguin, and then I brushed along the path where I want to penguin clone to appear.
    If I brush the whole area eventually the penguin will be copied completely. You'll have to experiment a bit with the brush size and softnees to ensure that the cloned object will blend in.

  • How can I slow down the playback speed of selected parts of a captivate video?

    Hi everybody,
    I'm pretty new to Captivate and although it offers some great tools, there is something that I just can't get to work:
    I'm creating a video tutorial about how to use a website i'm working with so I've tried using "Automatic" ("Demo" mode chosen) recording option which is recommended for this type of video. However, the video recorded has a different playback speed than the amount of time I recorded. This means that some of the slides have a quicker playback speed than the way I recorded, thereby not leaving enough time to show the given feature.
    The recording mode with the most "true" playback was "Full motion". However, I would still like to be able to slow down selected parts of the video, but can only find guides on how to slow down the entire presentation.
    Can you please advise me on how to slow down only selected parts of the project? If this is not possible in Captivate, please advise me on which video editing software (where you can slow down the playback speed on selected parts of the video) is compatible with Captivate 5?
    Thanks!

    Thank you. Andrew Kramer's Video Copilot video, which I somehow managed to miss, was very helpful.
    I had a 79 second clip which I precomposed and enabled time remapping. But I have 12 places where I need to slow down the layer. After a while, I was runing out of room to add more keyframes using the method promoted in many videos and instruction sites (grab the last two keyframes, including the end frame, and drag).
    In reality, you can add keyframes wherever you like and you can adjust them however works best within the existing timeline without messing with the duration, etc.
    Much appreciated.

  • Fcpx - after selecting part of a clip, marking in and out, pressing the e key does not add it to the timeline.  what do I do?

    At the Mac store they showed me how to select part of the clip, Mark in an out, and then use the key board shortcut, the E, to move back down to the end of the timeline. At home it refuses to do that. I can't even drag it down. I am using Snow Leopard, not lion. Can anybody tell me why I can't get the material down to the timeline except as an entire clip?

    I was stuck in this exact same position yesterday, and wow was it ever frustrating. I can't remember the exact steps I stumbled upon to figure it out, but basically you need to create a "project" (not a "sequence" like you'd think - there is no "new sequence" command in FCP X) and that "project" will in fact be the sequence you are able to add your selections to.
    The same real estate the sequence lives in is also where the "project library" lives, which will overtake your sequence if invoked - look to make sure the film reel icon at the bottom left of the screen is not active (blue). If it is active, click it to make the project libary go away.
    I'm still struggling with FCP X as a long time professional FCP 7 user, and from what I've read this isn't uncommon. Best of luck getting past these fisrt few awkward hurdles and onto the actual editing (which, I have to say, so far I am having a hard time being precise or creative with).

  • How do I create Themes/Chapters in my video before burning to DVD so that Scenes can be selected when DVD is loaded to player?

    How do I create Themes/Chapters in my video before burning to DVD so that Scenes can be selected using on screen icons when DVD is loaded to player?

    "I don't know what you mean by this. There are no chapter markers in FCP." - you puzzle me by this! Yave You ever made some DVDees after editing in FCP 7? Every chapter in the timeline could be transfered to DVD Studio Pro, and then used in DVD navigation. This is very important feature, decause you don't have to lookfor some parts of your video while creating navigation! Less work - more joy! Another downscore of FCPX!

  • How do I select part of a song?

    I am creating some voice overs using songs from iTunes as background, and am using the Podcast part of Garageband for that. When I drag the song into Garageband, I have the whole song showing as a track. If I only want to use part of it, how can I select that part I want to use? Once I do select it, what next? In my first attempts, I have used the cycling selection as one means of doing this, but it seems like there should be an easier way. Thanks.
    Joe

    Sorry, but I am brand new to Garageband, and am finding it very complex compared to other applications. When you say to drag the ends, I don't know where to find those. Do you mean in the track itself?
    I am confused by what should be done in the track itself, versus the big section you get at the bottom when you double click on a track, versus the Podcast track, versus the bar at top if you use cycle or arrange.
    Thanks for the link, I will read all of those, but I am really struggling with this app.
    Thanks.

  • How can I transfer part of iPhoto files from my hard drive of iMac to free up  my hard drive which is 95% full

    My IMAC 24" Early 2008, with Hard Drive of 500 is running out of Memory, down to 25 MGHz. Since I have large collection of photographs in my IPhoto, with fair numbers in raw forms, I presume most of the memory is taken by them. I am unable to find weather that is the cause of low memory, and if it is so,  how can I transfer part of them into external hard drive to free up the space. Help into yhe matter will be appreciated. Thanks

    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    Now you have two full versions of the Library.
    3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
    Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
    Some Notes:
    As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
    You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager
