How Do You Control the Order That Menu Items Are Selected

I am using iDVD 6 with the Portfolio Theme (iDVD 5). I created a project with one 15-minutes iMovie project and seven slideshows (created in iDVD).
In Preview mode (or with the final) DVD, the order that entries on the main menu are selected does not seem to follow a logical pattern. As I try to advance using the right cursor, the second item (horizontally) is skipped. (I have two rows, each with four items). When I have one of the other three items in that row selected, the second item is selected if I hit the down arrow.
In 'flowchart view' the eight items are in the order I want them to be selected. That is, the item that is being skipped is in the second position on the flowchart.
Any insight on this would be appreciated.

I created an iMovie and then exported to iDVD, iDVD used the same sequence as the iMovie. When you build you Movie or slide show it follows the sequence that you place them in the time line. I have a Slide Show movie with video clips in the time line all of the shows and clips play in the order that I placed them. When you move through the menu use the right arrow to move accross the menu and the down arrow to move down to the next row. There is an button to move to the next menu. I have 13 chapters in my iDVD and they appear on 3 menus. Each menu shows 6 buttons you can edit the button titles and reposition them if you deselect the snap to grid and select the other option. When I open my project after exporting the titles overlayed each other. The buttons picted up my iMovie titles so I had to fix them and reduce the type size and move the buttons to separate them. The time line sets the order and the arrow keys move throgh the buttons on you Mac screen you can select with the mouse by clicking the button. On a DVD player you are stuck with the arrows and enter keys on the remote. You may have a glitch in your data check the time line along bottom of your original to see if the chapter markers are in position.

  • How can you control the order of video tracks?

    I have an iDVD project with an intro movie (movie played when the disc is first inserted), 5 20 minutes videos (each of which is an individual iMovie project with chapter markers, but the videos are meant to be watched in order 1, 2, 3, 4, then 5), and an addition 5 minute video. When I created the disk image, I noticed it started encoding the last of the 20 minute videos and then seemed to encode the rest of the videos in random order.
    I burned the disk image to DVD and started watching it in my DVD player. When you watch the first 20 minute video, when it finishes you return to the menu so you can choose the second 20 minute video. But, if you scene skip through a 20 minute video on the last scene, it takes you to the next track. The problem is the tracks are all in random order. So instead of scene skipping to the next 20 minute video, it takes me to the intro video, then to 20 minute video, ect. It's all out of order.
    My question is does anyone know how to control track order? Is the track order the order in which the videos are encoded? (It seems to that is the case.) I tried inserting the videos into the iDVD project in the order I wanted them, but I don't know if that will work or not. The assets all appear in random order in the Project Info window.

    I would like to know also. I have made many DVDs, but the number order does seem to be random. For presentation purposes I want to play a specific clip by hitting it's corresponding number on the DVD player remote when the DVD is at a complete stop (so if I put the movie clip in the 2 spot and hit the number 2 on the remote, then the 2 movie clip will play). I can get this to work from the menu by dropping them in iDVD in the order I want and waiting for each to encode before dropping the next, but at a complete stop I cannot ensure number 2 on the remote will play number 2 on the DVD. To me it looks like iDVD gives those numbers in the order in which the audio is encoded when burning, with the shorter clips first and longer ones last.
    Can anyone help me?

  • How do you change the order in which effects are applied?

    Hello
    I'm using Logic Express 8 and can't work out how to apply reverb so that the effect is added after the volume automation has been applied. In other words, at the moment if the track volume dips, so does the reverb. I, naturally, want the reverb to be applied constantly, not to be cut by automated volume changes.
    Hope this makes sense!
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Dave

    I'm not sure that is the case.  Maybe you automated the reverb along with the volume?  Anyway, you could create a bus channel and send the track to the bus that would be armed with the reverb (a good idea anyway in case you want more tracks to share the reverb).  You can send as much or as little of the signal as you want and you can even automate the amount or the volume of the reverb channel.  Put the reverb to 100% wet and mix to taste.

  • How can I change the order of menu items using Term Store Navigation?

    A cool new feature in SharePoint 2013 is term store navigation. However SharePoint seems to be ordering my terms (menu tabs) alphabetically. This is not a desired action.
    I tried to enter the terms in the order I wanted them to appear (IE - Home, About, Contact etc. ) but my menus are still sorted by alpha (About, Contact, Home). I have tried to change the order using the interface but it doesn't seem to work.
    Any suggestions on how to obtain the desired effect?  If there is no workaround this feature is practically useless.

    Never mind, I just found the custom sort tab hidden away!

  • How can I change the order that my songs are listed in?

    Hey. I am not sure what I did, but for some reason, my songs in iTunes are listed fro z-a rather than the other way around. How could I change this???

    It's just a matter of clicking/toggling the little triangle at the top of the list of songs. When it points up the songs are listed in standard alphabetical order; when the triangle points down, then they will become "the other way around".
    You probably just accidentally clicked the triangular toggle.

  • How can I control the order of iDVD menu items using the Arrow keys?

    I have a submenu screen containing 10 selectable buttons plus the Return Arrow button.  I have ordered all the slideshows in the correct order in the DVD map.  However, when I run the program, the arrow keys jump the selection focus in an apparently random sequence.  How can I control the order of the selection focus?
    I'm using iDVD v 7.1.2
    TIA.

    Hi
    There is one thing You might miss in iDVD - So do I - the ability to re-arrange in the DVD map (block diagram)
    The order things will be pplayed or addrssed is same as the order each item is introduced into iDVD.
    To my knowledge ther is no way around this.

  • How can I control the order of playback on MuVu Mix (USB 2.

    What determines the order of playback of music files stored on the MuVu Mix (USB 2.0)? How can I control the order?
    Apparently it is not name order. The music titles are prefixed by sequential numbers. But that is not the order that the files play back.
    I tried erasing all contents, then copying the files one by one to the MuVo Mix in the order that I want them to play back (name order). But that is not the order that the files play back.
    By the way, in both case, I removed the ".dat" file first. (I also tried keeping the ".dat" file, to no avail.)

    I did, and they confirmed (very quickly; kudos!) what you and I both expect: the play order is determined by the alphabetical order of the file names. The mistake was mine. I ass-u-me-d that the MSWin folder "Name ^" order was correct. I did not realize that it is not exactly alphabetical when the file name begins with a number (e.g, the track number). I had renumbered songs from a second CD by simply adding 00 to the track number. Thus, songs and 2 of the first CD are played after songs 08 and 09 of the second CD, as they should alphabetically, even though they appear in the order , 2, 08, 09 in the "Name ^" list. Klunk! Mea cupla!

  • How do you control the volume to the earphones?

    How do you control the volume to the earphones?

    Apple Support Communities updatesActually I knew that part of it, but I had to go to Settings to correct something.  They are working now that I fixed something that I have no recollection that I altered in the first place, nor do I now know what in heaven’s  name I fixed this time.  All I know is that I must have gone to setting a million and one times and the last time was the one I did something right.
    Thank you for your help however.

  • No longer use this email account but how do you backup the email that is...

    No longer use this email account but how do you backup the email that is in the "example" folder, So that I can delete the account on my mail app?

    Not sure what you mean. Deleting a POP account only deletes the messages stored in the account’s mailboxes, not any messages stored in custom “On My Mac” mailboxes, if that’s what you mean. It’s not that Mail goes after your mail trying to delete as much as it can. It’s just that if a mail account is deleted, then its mailboxes cannot exist anymore...
    That said, instead of deleting the account right away, you can just disable it (i.e. turn OFF Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Enable this account), leave it that way for some time, and delete it only after making sure you didn’t miss anything while the account was disabled.
    BTW, if you back up your data, and the ~/Library/Mail folder in particular, you won’t have to worry about accidentally losing anything as a result of doing something like that...
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

  • How do I control the order of all day events in iCal?

    How do I control the order of all day events in iCal?  Even if I painstakingly try to
    re-order the events the way I want them, when they print, they are in a different order.
    I have searched other forums and no one seems to have an answer to this.  Has
    anyone found the solution?  Thanks!

    I also have this issue, where the events in iCal change when viewing in print preview or printing. I even notice they will switch if I try to print again??!!! I am using different calendars to show different colours. and they are setup on iCloud not on my mac.
    it is becomign frustrating when I print 2 months worth and ssome events are correct in order and alas some will change when I print again!
    Can anyone help please?
    thanks

    iTunes stores your iPhone backups in the Library folder in your Home folder.
    iTunes places the backup files in these places:

  • How do you determine the picture that is shown on iTunes for your podcast?

    How do you determine the picture that is shown on iTunes for your podcast? Is that done in iWeb or Garagetunes?

    That is a supported format,
    Pull the battery while the device is ON, replace after a minute, Let the device reboot 1-3 min,
    see if the problem is fixed,
    If not we may have to reload the device OS to get back the missing option.
