How to add a simple commentary, no video?

Hopefully this is a simple one.
I have an iDVD project where I have 3 independent ballet movies. I need to add a commentary for each one that can be clicked on from the main menu to introduce each piece. No video, just a short spoken introduction.
I'm planning to record each commentary in Garageband.
How would I go about this, none of my iDVD books mention such an approach.
Thanks,
JT

sounds like a charming project..
but... DVDs usually contain video, are watched on a TV ..
so: what does your audience see, while listening?
black?
here comes your content: create a black clip in iM and add your commentary..
me personally would prefer a 'moving' image, which tells me, my DVDplayer isn't broken.. add some 'art' .. a nice Ken Burns to some Ballerina shot? or, 'paint' in some pic processor the word 'dance' and manipulate to a piece of art.. finally, some plug-ins from geethree.com or other sources offer 'generic moving backdrops' ... iTunes Visualizer-like ..

Hi,
The answer is no way you can add a video card on your laptop. Actually nearly all laptops including many which have dedicated video cards.

How to add a simple drop shadow to video clip

Ok, so perhaps I'm just looking in all the wrong places, or perhaps it was an oversight in the initial release of FCP X....but for the life of me, I cannot find where to add a simple drop shadow (in this case, for actual video footage. I haven't looked into shadows for text). I have keyed footage (BTW, bravo Apple on the chromakeyer in FCP X) that I need to add a drop shadow to in order for it to blend nicer with the background footage. Is this feature missing? Or am I simply not looking in the right place?

Same answer as your other recent thread.

How to add voice effects to a video

how can i add voice effects to a video!

You need to supply much more information.
For example: Which video app are you using?
In which format is the video?
I presume you want to add the effects post production, so to speak, not live.

How to add a soundtrack to a video

I could not see a video, so I extracted the AC3 soundtrack with DiVx Doctor II, then changed it into an MP3 wit mAC3dec and I was supposed to be able through QuickTime Pro 7 to add the MP3 soundtrack to the .avi... But I can't figure out the way to do it.
Anyone knows how?

That makes two of us. My Philosophy-Predicate Logic professor used to say that a problem was the difference between where you are and where you want to be and that the solution was how to get from one place to the other. While I applaud you telling us what you have done, I am forced to confess that I still have no idea what kind of a file you started with or what kind of a file you are trying to end up with.
If you have a good AC3 audio file and wish to convert it to an editable compression format that is fully supported by QT and all QT applications, I would recommend AIFF. If you have the free MPEG Streamclip application installed, simply "Open > Audio File" option to load it to the application and then select the "Export to Other Format" option to export the file to "No" Video and "AIFF" Audio at 48.0 KHz, 16-bit, and mono/stereo as needed. The resulting file should be compatible with all QT applications.
As I am not sure if you are starting with an AVI (or other compressed) file w/AC3 and that your are trying to extract the AC3, convert it and then add it back to the same file (or a different AVI file), what video compression format is involved, or what QT components you may have installed, it is difficult to suggest and more direct work flow involving fewer intermediate steps.

How to add a border around a video (padding out to a larger size)?

Hi,
I'm having problems doing this in Quicktime Pro. I don't want to increase the size of the visible part of the video, just pad it out with black space. I created a gif file of the size I want and pasted it in, but rather than the video increasing to fit the pasted image, the opposite happened and the image was scaled down to fit the video. Any help gratefully appreciated.

First issue is the GIF format (only 256 colors). Don't use that format.
To add a "black" box (or any other color) to your existing QuickTime file you should first make your image file in a format (other than GIF) that also supports transparency.
Depending on your image editing software the PNG format is the best choice. But JPEG will also work if your use 32 bit color (no transparency layer).
To add this image to your existing QuickTime file follow these steps:
Create the image file (1 bit for just black and white colors) and size it to the dimensions desired. JPEG or PNG will work nearly the same but JPEG doesn't support alpha channels.
So, lets say your have a 320X240 QuickTime file but want a "box" around it sized at 320X320 (square).
Create a 320X320 all black image saved as PNG or JPEG.
Open that file with QuickTime Pro, select "all" (Control-A) and "copy'"(Control-C).
Switch to your 320X240 QuickTime "video" file.
Select all (Control-A) and move to the Edit menu. Pick "Add to Selection & Scale". This will add your image to the entire "video" portion.
Control-J to open the Movie Properties window.
Highlight (single click) on the "Video" track portion of your new composite video.
Click the "Visual Settings" tab.
Here is where you change to position of your video track in relationship to your image track.
The "Offset" is what you need to adjust (because your video is smaller in dimensions than the image track).
Default positioning is 0,0 (upper left). You need to add new values to the offset to set the position of the video track. It may take a few tries to get what you want. Changing the offset values until you get the size and shape you desire.
Save As. Give the file a new name and save as "self-contained" to make a new file.
These same steps can add "video backgrounds" to another "video" track.

How to add a simple hyperlink field in Apex

Version : 4.1.0
Hi There,
I have a simple requirement and was trying to find the best option. I was drawing a blank.
I need to show one single field "Overview" on an Apex page at the top which when clicked opens a new page and goes to the underlying URL.
Now I have to add this field after my existing radio buttons which is the top "parameter" region. What is the best way to do this.
I guess we could do this by creating a new HTML region if I am not wrong. But wondering if we can do this maybe using a Display item or something. Where we use a before regions process and populate the hyperlink and display the "Overview" text which the user can click on
Any suggestions!
Thanks,
Ryan

Where we use a before regions process and populate the hyperlink and display the "Overview" text which the user can click onThe layout you are attempting to describe is not clear. "at the top"..."after my existing radio buttons"..."the top 'parameter' region". This is all subjective. You know what you mean, but we've never seen this page.
At the very least you need to provide a more objective description so others can attempt to visualize or reproduce this. This requires the following information:
<li>Theme
<li>Page template
<li>Region position and template of the "the top 'parameter' region"
An example on apex.oracle.com is so much eloquent in these situations...
As a rough guess, I'd probably create link HTML in the Post-Element Text of the radio group item, or the Region Footer of the "top 'parameter' region".

How can I do simple edits of video in Aperture?

Haven't been able to find much help regarding doing simple video edits in Aperture. Somehow, I thought simple things could be done directly in Aperture, such as trimming. Anyone out there who might help?

Also keep in mind that it appears that not all videos that Aperture can import can be trimmed. I've had some video I shot from an non-apple phone imported into Aperture but couldn't be trimmed.
If you mouse over the image the controls will come up and then you can select the trim from the gear pull-down

How handle Add Media Failure Error: File Video Dimensions (Width/Height) Too Large?

I am a brand new user of Premiere Elements. I am using it for stop gap animation, bringing in digital still photos from my Nikon D3200. I just attempted to bring in the first set of photos from the SD card. I'm running Windows 7. After loading the photos, an "Add Media Failure" box came up with the message "Error: File Video Dimensions (width/height) too large". Is something wrong with the width and height of the photos and if so what do I need to do to make it work? There were 763 photos, but the message seems to refer to the height/width of each photo and not the total file size so to speak - right? During the import process, the program prompted us to bring the photos in as images and not as videos -- so that is what we selected. Thank you for any assistance.

very confusing.

If you go to this site you will find a number of free filters, one of which is an "Arrow Generator" which will do exactly what you want:-

How do i add photos in my Ipod Video?

How do i add photos in my Ipod Video and View them?

Can you just open your ipod like a hard drive and put photos in the folder named Photo
You need to let iTunes handle the transfer in order for the pictures to be viewable on the iPod. iTunes creates specially sized preview images and organizes the pictures & previews as it does for music files. If you put the pictures on manually through Windows Explorer and the iPod hard disk "interface", then you can retrieve the pictures on another computer. But the pictures won't display on the iPod.
