How can I make a mixed audio/video playlist?

I would like to make a playlist of music videos. iTunes seems to consider "music videos" as a separate type than video files. The problem is that some of my music videos are detected by iTunes as formal "music videos" while others are detected as "movies". While I can add them all to the same playlist, I can only play the playlist as one of the two types, and it will ignore the files of the other type. For example, if I access the playlist through my music playlists on my iPhone, it will only play the music videos that iTunes thinks are actual "music videos" and will not play the ones that iTunes thinks are "movies". Same problem in the opposite direction if I play the playlist through the movie/video interface.
How can I get them all to play together? They are ALL videos, and all in the same format (.mp4), so I'm not sure why iTunes is so confused.

Well, good news and bad news. I found out how to tell iTunes that all my music videos are, in fact, actual "music videos" and categorize them as such. In the "Get Info" screen for a track, there is a dropdown selector where you can pick the "meta" type, such as "Music Video", "Home Video", "Movie", "TV Show", etc. This allows iTunes and iOS to think they are all music videos and play them in the same list.
Unfortunately, this is not compatable with my third party device, which is now refusing to play my music videos in a playlist and will only play them one at a time (in a single-track infinite loop no less). Very frustrating!

How can i make a free facetime video call? There's always appearing that my provider might charge for the call?

How can i make a free facetime video call? There's always appearing that my provider might charge for the call?

If you make a call then tap the Facetime button to connect Facetime, the duration of call up to Facetime connection will be charged under your regular airtime. However, duration during facetime conversation will not consume airtime.
But if you tap the Facetime button on the Contact Page, then the whole duration will not consume airtime.
For Facetime to work, both parties must be connected to wifi.

Does it not play at all or cannot you get the audio in the timeline?
Did you copy the entire card to the hdd and then imported the file via the Media Browser?
Did you source patch the audio tracks?

How can I make a book/podcast listening playlist for a blind person?

How can I make a book/podcast listening playlist for a blind person? How can lots of content be loaded, so that no navigation is required, for hundreds of hours of enjoyment?
I wanted to create a single playlist with hundreds of hours of books and podcasts for my grandmother who is blind. Then I planned to use something like the app CarTunes which basically makes the touch screen simply a gigantic pause/play button for an already created playlist. This is perfect for a blind person. The problem: Apple no longer allows you to have a playlist with Audible Books and Podcasts. I have tried; but the podcasts and books are stripped from the playlist. It seems like all podcast and book players require navigation. (How aggravating!?)
Any help in creating hundreds of hours long spoken (selected between books and podcasts) audio content playlist for a blind person would be much appreciated!!!!

Mixed audio/video playlists - suggestion for Apple

Hi all,
I'm wondering if there's any way to convey suggestions to Apple about the way we'd like to see certain things work on the iPod? Specifically, I find they way my new 5G iPod handles mixed audio/video playlists to be extremely dumb: videos play only if you access them through the Video menu, but if you just go to Playlists and select a video file, you get the audio but no video.
Surely when you select a video it should play the video, and when you select audio it should play that, right? The current situation is very much not the Mac way: it doesn't "just work". I hate having to remember whether I want to play a video or audio file - I'd rather just have one unified Playlists entry, and have each file do the appropriate thing when I select it.
Searching through the Apple site, I can't find any way to submit requested features. Maybe there isn't one . . .

How can I make an album from a playlist?

How can I make an album from a playlist in iTunes? I still running Windows XP.

In iTunes an album is any collection of songs with the same Album title and Album Artist, or the same Artist if Album Artist is blank, or marked as part of a compilation.

I want to remove my itunes library to a thumb make memory space - how can I make sure I keep all playlists and organizing intact?

Do you mean a flash drive? I don't know if I would trust one of those entirely. Make sure you make a backup.
Copy the entire iTunes folder to the flash drive. Start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and guide it to the library on the flash drive. If you forget to plug in the flash drive before starting iTunes in the future you will have to do the option start thing again.

Apple TV 2 screen saver during mixed audio video playlists

With the Apple TV 2nd gen, at some point after an upgrade, the behavior of the screen saver during playing a mixed audio video playlist changed. It used to be that while songs were playing the screen saver would start, and then as soon as a video item was encountered in the playlist, the screen saver would stop and the video would play. Now the video doesn't play and instead you just get the audio. Pressing menu interrupts the screen saver and then the video plays. What changed? And I want it back to the old functionality.

Same here. It's just started doing this during NetFlix.
Turned screen saver off now...

2 questions : How do I know if a video in Flash is streaming? 2nd - how can I make an overlay for video?

Two questions :
1) I have created a QT.mov, imported it into Flash, but after
thinking about it, I want to be sure it is streaming for the web.
How can I be sure of that? If it is not, what code can I put to
make sure it is loading?
2) How can I make an overlay for the video that disappears as
soon as the user clicks on the play button?

1. Without a flash ciommunication server for TRUE streaming
of the file, what you get is called Progressive streaming. This
means once the video begins to download it can start playing before
the file has completely downloaded to the user. There are good
descriptions (including pros and cons) of this here:
http://www.mediacollege.com/video/streaming/overview.html
2. If you have the file set to start automatically there will
be no need for the user to push the play button. You could just put
a graphic on top of the video component, and use actionscript to
make the graphic invisible when the play button is pushed.

How can I make my old purchases a playlist on my new computer?

How can I get it back into a playlist other than dragging each song...I have over 3500 purchased. I have tried syncing purchaes from my I-pod but it does not put it into a playlist. Help!!

They should go all back into the green Purchased playlist when you make another purchase.

How can I make songs shuffle in individual playlists..?

I want them to shuffle so when I burn them onto CD's they will be shuffled...but on the playlist, they are still organized into artists and albums. How can I make this stop?

Click on the empty header bar to the left of name. Now all songs should number up. From here you can drag them to any place you want them. Such as making the first song the 5th one and so on.
Post back if you need a better explanation.

How can I display & split the audio & video from the same digitized clip?

I digitized a scene into iMovie that I edited on a professional system which I don't have access to anymore. The whole scene is 1 clip. Now I see a few tweaks that I want to make, so I was hoping to do them in iMovie.
I want to "pull up" the audio in one section - meaning I want to take cut about 20 frames of audio from the end of a shot, and then move all the other audio up to fill the hole. To compensate for the missing 20 frames, I'll cut video off the head of the next shot. Some call this prelapping. Some call it an L-cut. Some call it asymmetrical trimming. Either way, I can't figure out how to do it in iMovie.
My clip appears in the timeline as one track - a single track that contains the video and 2 audio tracks. How can I display the audio that's tied to the video on its own track? Then I think I could split audio & video wherever I wanted and trim things up - but I can't figure out how to do it.
Am I asking too much of this software?
BTW, I never see the option to "Split audio clip at playhead". I'm not displaying clip volume or waveforms. Choosing to display waveforms doesn't show me anything. Maybe iMovie thinks I'd only want to see waveforms of audio that isn't tied to my video-and-audio clips?
Thanks in advance for any help...

Jordon,
"Am I asking too much of this software?"
No, you're not.
You first want to select your clip(s) and choose Advanced>Extract Audio.
This will copy the audio from the video clip and place it on one of the two separate audio tracks while lowering the audio level to zero in the original video track.
You can now edit and move the audio independently of the video.
With the audio clip selected, you'll find you now have access to Edit>Split Selected Audio Clip at Playhead.

How Can I Make a Guitar Cover Video?

I'm not sure if this is possible to do but how can I do this?
I want to basically record a video of me playing my electric guitar with a song.
I have a cable that allows me to plug my electric guitar into my MBP, and GarageBand let's me use the computer as an amp (with all the effects etc.). My MBP has the built-in iSight.
So I need the video to have the actual song playing (mp3), my guitar playing (audio), and my guitar playing (video).
Is there any easy way to do this? If so, how? Thanks!

drop the mp3 into the GB timeline, create a New Basic Track for your guitar recording, and use iMovie to record the video.
you can then solo your guitar track in GB and export it. import that into your iMovie project to replace whatever audio its recorded (check in the iMovie forum for the exact method for doing that)
it would be wise to clap your hands together loudly after you start recording to easily sync up the audio and video portions

How can I make an mp audio file of a video clip that I'm working on in iMovie?

I have a video clip residing within an iMovie project. I want to create an audio file of this to take into Audacity so I can make cleaner audio edits (pulling up audio, deleting extraneous audio, etc) to insert as voice over in my movie project. iMovie is not sophisticated enough to do this. I don't see an easy way to "export as MP3" or other audio file. Am I missing something? Thank you.
