How do you make a scene selection?

i recently made about 18 movies on imove with a total length of 9 hours and 43 minutes so they are all exported seperately.
i want to be able to put them on idvd with a scene selection but i want to know if there is a way to put a "play all" button.
Another question - what would the best way to distribute the movie (like is there a way to fit this much movie on a dvd)
Any help is apprectiated!

Hi
A. iDVD limit is about 240 minutes on DL-DVDs and that is Movie + MENU (and this can take significant space/minutes)
iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
• Best Performances
(movies + menus  less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
About double on DL DVDs.
B. Scene selections - is as I get it Chapters and they are preferably set in the movie editor e.g. iMovie or FinalCut. iDVD will create Scene Selection sub-menu automatically.
C. Play all button - No there are non in iDVD - but can be faked in two ways.
• Double movie way - all parts + one full movie containing all
Pro - easy to do and easy to understand
Cons - takes up x2 space
• Put movies into a SlideShow and un-cheque limit picture size
Pro - x1 space
Cons - To me the Audio was severely degraded
D. Total space
• iDVD - 240 minutes (iDVD do not care about Gbs at all only duration)
• Roxio Toast™ - Can squees in 10 hours on a SL-DVD and about x2 on DL-DVD (I guess)
CONS - The Quality will be severely degraded making old VHS tapes recorded in LP-mode look fabulous when compared - Yes 10 hours will look awful.

  • Simple question - How do you make an onchange event occur in a select list

    Simple question - How do you make an onchange event occur in a select list to fire a process?
    Thanks

    1) Using ApEx Selec list on Submit Item.
    You will create a PL/SQL Process after Submit. -> Conditional Type Request = Expression1. -> Expression1 is the name of your Select List. Process Source - > Procedure you like. For example depending of your select List value you will add rows in different tables.
    2) Javascript This example will change a System parameter value when changed
    <select id="P3_SUBSYSTEM" onchange="location.href='f?p=101:3:2164422329953284::NO::P3_SUBSYSTEM:'+this.options[selectedIndex].value;" size="1" name="p_t21">

  • How do you make the background of an object transparent in Adobe Illustrator?

    Hello Forum.
    How do you make the background of an object transparent in Adobe Illustrator?
    I have been having issues with using the Magic Wand tool in Adobe Illustrator as well as the lasso tool.
    Basically, I am trying to put a small graphic into a new Illustrator file.
    The first thing I tried to do is to use the magic wand tool.  But I found out that this did not work on a jpeg image since it did not have any individual objects to select.
    So I tried something new.  I opened the file in Adobe Photoshop and used the lasso tool to select an area.  Then I coped this area.  Then I tried to paste it into Adobe Illustrator.  But the background was not transparent for the pasted image.
    How do I make the background transparent.
    I made this small video to show what I am talking about:
    http://youtu.be/2LgMGEF6z10

    Don't Copy/Paste the image.
    Make it transparent in Photoshop, save a PSD and place it in Illustrator

  • How do you make "Acrobat X Pro" open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?

    How do you make "Acrobat X Pro" open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?
    I am using a "Windows 7" computer at work with "Acrobat X Pro" and I'm constantly combining
    pdf's and tiff's in Acrobat.
    It would be nice if when I select 30 or 40 files to combine, the
    "Combine Supported Files in Acrobat" window would open in the
    foreground, not behind the 10 or so windows already open.
    I have been researching this for some time now with no solution.
    If the answer is that "IT CAN'T BE DONE", then that's fine. At least
    I will have an answer and can stop searching. If (as I suspect) it can
    be done, then kindly supply me with "step by step" instructions.
    Michael Jones

    Something that works  (provides Acrobat the application precedence in the OS that is requisite for this) --
    Minimize the 10 or so application windows before engaging use of Acrobat's "combine".
    That'll let the Acrobat dialog windows display front and center.
    Be well...

    Hi ,
    I guess that was a bug in that version .
    It does not happen in Acrobat XI and Acrobat DC .The window comes right in front of everything else .
    I wonder that was a bug and that was fixed the other versions.
    You could upgrade to the latest Acrobat version ,i.e Acrobat DC and you would not experience this anymore .

  • How do you make photos vertical in iPhoto calendar?

    When making a calendar in iPhoto, and you choose 6 or 7 photos to be displayed on that month, how do you make the 4 little photos vertical?

    You can't change the frame.  But you can Control-click on the photos and select Fit Photo to Frame Size and it will reduce the size of the photo so the entire portrait photo will display in the frame.  The excess background will be the same color of the page's background.

  • How do you make images transparent in inDesign?

    How do you make images transparent in Adobe InDesign CS5.5?

    Dittco wrote:
    It IS possible: Select the image. Open effects (Window > Effects). Switch from "normal" to "multiply". Viola! White background is gone.
    That only works with a white background. In addition, it introduces a transparency effect, with its associated problems.
    With a rather light background: Select the image. Open clipping path (Object > Clipping Path > Options). Select Type > Detect Edges; use Threshold and Tolerance to get as close as possible to the edge of your image. This may be difficult because of a too low resolution image, or too much fringe on the edge -- if all fails, use the Inset Frame value to force the mask "into" the image. Click OK, and the background is gone.
    But that's not the only way: you can always create a clipping path manually, and then you are in total control, not limited by transparency side effects, auto-edge detection, and busy backgrounds.

  • Hi Everyone, how do you make adjustments to many pics at once

    Hi Everyone, how do you make the same adjustment to many pics in one go? Tried select All, and then adjust, but that only does the original selected pic..

    First of all, make sure, tat the "Primary only" flag is not enabled. (Edit menu > Primary only).
    Then rotate, clip, keywords will be applied to all selected image versions.
    Only the adjustments applied from the Adjustment panel will still only be applied to the primary selection. But you can use the "Lift&Stamp" tool to transfer all adjustments from an edited image to all selected images at once.
    The "Lift&Stamp" tool to the left, the "primary Only" button to the right.
                     Keywords or ratings are applied only to one of the selected images - why?

    In photoshop, how do you make a background a solid color?

    Select all then edit fill is one way.
    However if you mean the background behind a subject you need to separate the subject from its background the change just the background.  Look for tutorials on replacing background and extracting subjects

  • HOW DO YOU MAKE A VIGNETTE AROUND A PHOTO IN PSE 7?

    HOW DO YOU MAKE A VIGNETTE AROUND A PHOTO IN PSE 7?  ALSO, HOW DO  YOU MAKE THE PHOTO KIND OF HAZY LOOKING?  JUST A SLIGHT BIT FOR EFFECT.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!  

    1966desertrat,
    There are various ways to do this; here is one:
    Open picture file
    Duplicate background layer
    Open new blank layer, and fill with white (Edit>fill>white)
    Drag this layer between the background layer and the background copy layer
    On the top layer, make a selection of the subject by dragging with the Elliptical marquee tool, position it to embrace the subject - can use arrow keys on keyboard to fine-tune
    Go to Select>inverse
    Go to Select>feather>try 25px - experiment for degree of feather
    Hit delete on keyboard
    Go to Select>inverse
    Go to Select>deselect
    To blur, go to Filter>blur>gaussian blur and adjust slider to suit

  • How do you make it so that the ipod will play all the different artists featured in an album when you click that album to play?

    How do you make it so that the ipod will play all the different artists featured in an album when you click that album to play? At the moment, each artist in the album is being separated and I can't play them together. For example, to play the Halo 2 Soundtrack, Hoobastank, Breaking Benjamin, Nile Rodgers, etc. are some of the artists featured. However, in the Albums category, they are each separate choices. I want to play them all together, but can't. Is there a way to do that?

    It sounds like the album metadata is incorrect, or differs from song to song in iTunes.  Albums with various artists will play properly assuming all the songs are tagged with the same identical album name, as well as the track number.  For the Halo 2 Soundtrack, metadata should look like this:
    Song: <Song Title>
    Artist: <Song Artist>
    Album: Halo 2, Vol. 1 (Original Soundtrack)
    Genre: Soundtrack
    I had a similar problem with my imported Cowboy Bebop albums and the mixture of artists/album names.  Once I adjusted the metadata, all of them play in the correct order just by selecting the Album from the available list or in Coverflow.

  • How do you make an image or text, appear on every slide?

    How do you make an image appear on every slide?

    What part did you not understand?
    As Andrew said, open the Keynote file, go to the View Menu>Show Master Slides
    This is what you should see on the left hand slide of the window. The Master slides are at the top and the check mark goes by the Master Slide that is referenced on which ever slide you have selected in the Slides pane.
    Add to the Master slide the image or text that you would like to see on the slides that are made off of that master. You can see in the Title & Bullets master slide, I added the shape in the lower left hand corner and it was added to all the slides build off that master.
    If this still isn't clear, let us know where you are getting stuck and we will try to help.

  • How can I make this scene in After Effects?

    The Hobbit The Desolation of Smaug. Gandalf vs The Necromancer (Sauron) - YouTube
    I am making this scene in stop motion lego. How can I make this scene, the shield vs smoke and the flaming figure, including the shots that zoom into Sauron's mouth. How do I do these shots? I am new to after effects. I have done basic smoke before, but nothing like this. I've done snow and green screen and fire, but I'd just like some help. Thank you I have CS6

    There is no plug-in or button, only careful planning based on knowledge of the process of combining layers of images into a final image. Every element in a composite is a separate layer. If you are new you need to do some basic research. There are lots of books out there that will show you the theory. Start on AMAZON or your public library. http://www.amazon.com/Effects-Visual-Compositing-Studio-Techniques/dp/0321934695/ref=sr_1_ 2?ie=UTF8&qid=1421914012&sr=8-… may be a good place to start. Once you get some knowledge you can start breaking down a shot like this:
    Layers that I see in this shot in order.
    Vignette to darken the corners of the shot
    Foreground smoke
    Lighting effects on smoke
    Foreground branches
    Middle ground actor as a track matte or mask source for
    Middle ground smoke
    Middle ground lighting effects in the smoke
    Actor on rock
    Rock to act as a mask for background lighting effects and smoke
    Rock
    Background smoke and lighting effects
    Background
    If your original footage contained the background, the rock, the actor, and the branches then your first task would be to separate each of those to a separate layer. Then you would create or shoot the smoke and lighting effects and start building the layers. You then would modify the masks and effects on each layer to create the light wrap and look of the atmosphere using blend modes. Then you would add color grading effects or overlays to simulate the lighting in the shot. If you were really doing a shot like this you would probably add some lighting cues on the set to help sell the idea that a bunch of energy was lighting up the actors face. Like Mulenium said, there may have easily been fifty folks working on this shot for several days. It's completely unreasonable to expect that you can just add a plug-in and adjust some sliders to create the effect. Every composite requires you to separate elements into layers and then sandwich the elements you need to create and sell the effect you want to sell.
