Folders and Chapter Markers for Movies Transferred to iToons

I would like to transfer my movies to iToons so I can stream them to my Apple TV to show them on my HD TV and have two questions.
1. Can I create a folder to hold movies of a similar type?
2. Several of my movies are composed of episodes and when I transferred them to a DVD I had chapter markers which made it convenient to locate a particular episode. I note that the commercial movies I stream to my TV allow you to move to a particular scene or chapter.  Is there a way to provide chapter markers when I share a movie I made to iToons?  All my movies are in a QT format as well as in a disk image of the DVD.

i use handbreak to rip down dvds onto my ipod. is there a way to do chaptermarkers or a faster way to fastforward?
The iPod player currently ignores video chapter markers. As to a faster way to fastforward, how are you doing it now? I can fastworward through the entire Star Wars III movie in 5-6 seconds (depending on the amount of drag caused by the silicone case). This is faster than I can repeatedly click all of the chapter markers on my old DVD player and wait for it to catch up.

  • Chapter Markers for Apple TV movies

    After a search, I saw a brief discussion about using Handbrake to set chapter markers for Apple TV.
    But is there a way to set chapters with iLife apps or QT Pro? With my home movies, the Apple TV remote button ">>" advances to each scene I captured with the Canon camcorder. At least it's not random, but dvd-style chapters would be nicer.
    I realize QT removes chapters from iMovie projects, but I'm wondering if anyone has a workaround.

    To create a chapter list in QT Pro:
    1. In a text editor or word processor, type your list of chapters and save the document as plain text.
    2. Make each item very short (preferably one word but no more than two or three words) and separate each item with a carriage return.
    3. In QuickTime Player, choose File > Open File, select the text file, and click Open.
    4. Choose File > Export. In the Export pop-up menu, choose "Text to Text." In the Use pop-up menu, choose "Text with Descriptors."
    5. Click Options. In the Text Export Settings dialog, select "Show Text, Descriptors, and Time"; select "Show time relative to start of Movie"; and set fractions of seconds to 1/30 (the default is 1/1000).
    6. Click OK, then click Save to create a text file with descriptors.
    7. Open the exported list in your text editor or word processor, and open the target movie in QuickTime Player.
    8. Choose Window > Show Movie Info.
    9. In QuickTime Player, drag the playhead on the timeline to find the first point in the movie where you want to begin a new chapter.
    10. Use the Right and Left Arrow keys to step forward or backward a frame at a time as needed. Note the current time in the Properties window.
    11. In the text file, find the first chapter title and change the timestamp just before that chapter title to the time you noted in the Properties window.
    12. The timestamp might now read, for example, [00:01:30.15], meaning that selecting the first chapter title will jump the viewer 1 minute, 30 seconds, and 15 frames into the movie.
    13. Repeat steps 9 through 11 until you've identified all the places in the movie that correspond to the chapter divisions and you've entered the proper timestamps in the text file.
    14. Change the last timestamp (the one after the last chapter title in the text file) to match the duration of the movie.
    15. Save the text file and import it into QuickTime Player.
    16. QuickTime creates a new movie with just a text track.
    17. Choose Edit > Select All, choose Edit > Copy, and close the movie.
    18. Click in the main movie, choose Edit > Select All, then choose Edit > "Add to Movie."
    19. QuickTime adds the text track to the movie.
    20. Choose Window > Show Movie Properties.
    21. In the Properties window, select the video or audio track you want to associate with the chapter track, and click Other Settings.
    22. Choose the main video or audio track from the Chapters pop-up menu.
    23. If you have a movie with alternate subtitle or sound tracks, you can create multiple chapter lists in different languages and set the appropriate subtitle or sound track as the owner of each chapter list. The chapter list will change to match the selected language.
    24. Select the text track, then select "Preload this track" (to make the chapter track load first).
    25. Deselect the new text track so that it doesn't display on top of the video.
    26. The new track will still function as a chapter track.
    27. Save the movie as a self-contained movie.
    28. You can now choose a chapter title from the pop-up menu to the right of the timeline.

  • Encore chapter markers which move with clip

    Problem: Encore chapter markers which move with clip
    CS4 Production Suite
    XP Pro SP3
    I have 9 sequences with each containing 4 Encore chapter markers. As expected in the real world, the end users continually want edits to the sequences. If I razor out a piece of a clip in the sequence, the Encore chapter markers stay fixed to the time ruler and do not move with the clip. As a result, one has to manually move each Encore chapter marker to re-align with the proper location on a clip. This is time consuming and makes no sense. Is there anyway for the Encore chapter markers to act like clip markers so they move with edits?
    If not, does someone have a plugin which would look at the Encore chapter markers in a sequence and place corresponding clip markers on Video 1. After editing, the plugin could re-align the Encore chapter markers with their respective clip markers.

    What is needed are Encore Chapter Clip Markers so Encore markers follow the clip. Just as you would move the current-time indicator to the frame where you want an Encore chapter point and then right click (Windows) in the time ruler and choose the type of marker, a new context menu item "Encore Chapter Clip Marker" would be available which would place an Encore chapter marker on the clip in the currently selected video track. With this, one could edit the sequence and know the Encore chapter point is still at the same frame of the clip.
    I encourage others to either copy this feature description or their own version and submit it to the Feature Request Page for Premiere.
    Feature Request Page
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    One should submit this Feature to both Premiere and Encore since both are effected. By the way, Encore has a Feature Request user form you may also want to submit this to. Premiere does not appear to have a Feature Request user form so I used the Feature Request Page mentioned above.

  • AppleTV Export and Chapter markers (doesn't work)

    I have this sequence I want to export for use on Apple TV (2nd generation). I have added markers and chapter markers. But when I stream this item from iTunes to my AppleTV there are no chapters.
    What should I do to get the AppleTV .m4v export with functioning chapters?

    I believe the only way to preserve chapter markers out of FCE is to export to a QuickTime Movie.

  • Chapter Markers for Apple TV Exports

    Hi
    Can't seem to export chapter markers for my Apple TV video exports. They are green on the timeline, but don't show up on the final Apple TV m4v.
    Does this just not work, or am I doing something stupid?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Mark

    Tom
    So if you want any compression at all, deviate from Quicktime movie for any reason, you lose all your chapter marker ability. Seems pretty lame to me. Is that true for FCP, or just FCE?
    Guess I will just have to use the fast forward on my remote.
    BTW, got your book and it was very helpful.
    Thanks

  • Exporting QT with Chapter markers for iDVD

    When I export a QT with Chapter markers for iDVD I get one movie file then a number of "AV" files - what are these and what do I do with them?
    workflow as follows:
    1.Place chapter markers in timeline using mm the Add Chapter Markers
    2. set in/out points in timeline
    3. export quicktime movie
    4. select include Chapter Markers and include audio/video
    5. do NOT select recompress all frames
    6. DO select make self contained movie.
    7. Open exported movie file in Quicktime and chapter markers are present
    8. import ONLY the movie file to iDVD (NOT the AV files?) and answer yes to read all chapter markers
    9. burn seems to work fine but when I playback on DVD player there is digital stuttering in the picture
    Any ideas on how to remedy the problem?
    thanks in advance
    patrick

    The project is only 75 minutes. Do think it is the codec that iDVD is using that is causing the stutter. I assumed that it always encodes using MPG2.
    Any idea what the AV files are?
    When I export as an uncompressed DV stream the file is 15 GB.
    When I export as uncompressed QT I get one file (movie) at 2.5 GB then
    5 more "AV" files that are each 2.5 as well. So when I import the movie file without the AV files am I missing something?
    Should I look into DVD Studio Pro? I have version 1.5 but I am fairly unfamiliar with it.

  • HOW TO ADD CHAPTER MARKERS FOR IDVD

    how do you add chapter markers for iDVD import?

    FCP does not have that capability. You can add chapter markers in Compressor, but that would be another recompression step, and you can dd them in GarageBand. Perhaps it might be best to add them in iDVD. Can you add them in iDVD?
    It would be an excellent feature request to have them in FCP, though I'm not sure how they would implement it.

  • How to add chapter markers for each file in a folder?

    Hello,
    I have several image folders with up to 700 images per. I would like to drag & drop them into the timeline but I want to be able to use the chapter/arrow button on the DVD player remote to scroll through them.....like a videoscrapbook, per se.
    Is there a setting that will allow me to drop them into the time line and automatically generate a chapter marker for each image, that will be read on export to DVDSP? Surely, there is something like this built in that I just have not yet found; I cannot believe the only alternative is to manually add 700 chapter markers per folder. And do they always go into the timeline in alphabetical order? Can that be prevented or altered?
    Also, doesn't it seem strange there is no single-button option (I'm presuming here, since I have not found one) for adding a chapter marker; the '~' button adds a generic marker but you must 'edit' it and click 'chapter marker' - very time-consuming --- or am I missing something here, too? If so please enlighten me! I've experimented a lot but no luck.
    Many thanks!
    jf

    I thought there was a folder size limitation on DVDSP - these folders have digital family photos on them and they are jam-packed; 600, 700, whatever. And there are several of them. I guess I thought putting them in FCP was the only way to avoid the limitation - if there is one.
    I'll try putting them straight into DVDSP and see what happens. Thanks!

  • Inserting Chapter Markers for iDVD

    I have a few simple questions about inserting Chapter Markers in FCE, and what exactly is happening. I've looked for the answers in two books, and the Help files, but still have my questions:
    In the "Edit Markers" box, the first field is "Name." Is this the name of the Chapter Marker that gets exported?
    The next field is "Comment." Is this for my info only? Or does this have something to do with the Chapter Marker getting exported correctly?
    If I press the "Add Chapter Marker" button, it adds <CHAPTER> into the Comment field. Is this necessary for the marker to be a Chapter Marker?
    Why is there a space in front of " <CHAPTER>"? Is this necessary?
    If I add a comment to the Comment field, should it go before or after <Chapter>, or does it matter?
    I rarely have used Chapter Markers, and these should be easy questions for someone. Thanks for your help.
    Terrell

    First of all, this is the Final Cut Pro forum but the following works the same for both programs
    When using iDVD and you create chapter markers, dropping your QT export into iDVD, using one of the provided themes, will create a main screen with Play Movie and (something like)Chapter Menus. The Menu page(s) follow your chapters, including any Name you assign: So, If you backspace "Name" and type Scene One, that will appear in your chapter page
    Far as I know, Comments is for your eyes only. I've never really used it but I don't see anywhere in iDVD where it shows up; not 100 per cent sure
    <CHAPTER> is where you assign a number. Do not delete <CHAPTER> it will not show up in your menu. But if you type Chapter One, that shows up with the Chapter Name
    Most iDVD themes automatically create a first chapter for you, called Begin. You can change that inside iDVD
    You do not have to assign your chapter a name. That is your call
    Other things to note: Create chapter markers in the Timeline. Export as Quicktime Movie, not any version of Quicktime Conversion. In the Export menu, select Chapter Markers.

  • Audio from video to CD using chapter markers for song separation

    Dear All,
    I have a client who wants audio only exported from a 2 hour plus original musical video performance and put on CD. I would like to separate the songs on the audio clip so that they can be individually searched by the CD remote rather than just having one long 2 hour plus soundtrack...a lot of work, believe me due to the number of songs involved!
    Is there an easy way to do this other than by exporting each song as a separate audio clip? If I create chapter markers and then delete the video track, will the chapter markers remain embedded in the audio portion during the export? I am working with Final Cut Studio 2 which includes DVD Studio Pro and Soundtrack Pro. I also have Toast Titanium 8.
    Thanks for your help.
    Barb

    When I need to do this, I export the audio from the QuickTime file into an AIFF file which I then open in a Soundtrack Pro multi-track project, use the razor blade tool to mark the tracks/chapters, then move them into a separate track in the multi-track project (all starting at the very start of the timeline), making as many new tracks as needed.
    Then, you need to export one track at a time: mark an in point at the beginning of the project then an out point at the end of the piece of audio in that particular track, solo the track and export mix, giving the tracks numbers as you go - as it's only one track, your mix wil be one track of audio. Continue this through all the tracks, which you can then import into iTunes and, as they're numbered, you'll know which order to put them in on the CD.
    I know it sounds long-winded but it's easier than it sounds! Hope it helps,
    Chris

  • TS1233 How do I get chapter markers for iDVD from Final Cut Pro X?

    It seems like a tremendous short-coming that Final Cut Pro X doesn't allow for chapter markers that can be used in iDVD or DVD Pro. Surely there is some way to get used-defined markers from Final Cut Pro X or at least re-define the Final Cut Pro X markers in the DVD authoring applications. Does anyone know how to do this?

    I have decided to say that my problem is solved by the work-a-rounds that have been submitted. I STILL don't like the fact tha Apple has decided that DVD's are a thing of the past and therefore (chapter) markers are of no use. That may be true is the publishing world of YouTube, Vimeo, etc. but it certainly NOT true for many of us advanced hobbyists that still like distribution on DVD's to our friends or a more localized (private) community -- especially to those who are not computer literate. If Apple wants to exclude us from their customer base, I suggest that base will become even smaller than their competitors who still have chapter markers in their products. I'll get off my soapbox now. . .

  • FCE HD Chapter Markers for use in iDVD

    Hello Again,
    How do I create chapter markers in FCE HD that can be used by iDVD to create selectable chapters for the sub menus.
    John

    this happens to be one of the few topics I know. Just play the time line or scroll to where ever you want a chapter maker and type MM. A box will open. name the chapter and click add marker or whatever its called. when you export select add chapter markers. hope that helps

  • Compressor and chapter markers...

    Part II:
    In my earlier post, I stated that I had shot some 24p footage with a new camera. The footage looked beautiful during the edit, then when I used Quicktime Conversion to make an m2v for DVDSP (which normally works perfectly for me), there was interlacing problem that made the video unwatchable.
    After wildly pushing random buttons and using electro-voodoo, I was able to get my 24p footage to NOT have horrible interlacing problems on export from FCP, but at a terrible price: all my chapter markers were gone.
    So my question is this: Does Compressor NOT keep chapter markers (making it absolutely unuseable), or is there a simple setting I've overlooked?
    Any help would be appreciated...
    Darth Brian

    Hi,
    Unfortunately, I'm at work and don't have immediate access to the exact version numbers (but they're not the most recent). I am familiar with the different types of markers and I know it's a Compressor problem because I did the original m2v conversion with QuickTime Converter and the chapter markers were fine. I just had horrible interlacing issues. When I use Compressor, I can get the interlacing to go away (after hours of work), but now the chapter markers are gone.
    My normal workflow goes: Shoot in 30p -> Capture in iMovie (this eliminates A/V sync problems with capturing in FCP) -> Edit in FCP and save as m2v with QuickTime converter -> open in DVDSP and make DVD's -> give to client. This has worked more times than I can count, and the only difference this time was that I shot in 24p instead of 30p. I even shot test footage ahead of time (genius that I am) and everything looked great. I simply didn't take that footage ALL the way through the process or I wouldn't be writing this now.
    Perhaps with the most recent version of Compressor this isn't a problem, but in my version it is. If this was my own project I'd let it die, but this is for someone else, and I don't want to leave them hanging. I'm already a week behind schedule.
    I'll tell you this: I'll never shoot in 24p again.
    Thamks,
    Darh Brian
