How to Copy/Export Chapter Titles for labels

I have just created a DVD from an iMovie in which I created a couple dozen chapter titles. I burned the disk and everything went well.
However, when the time came to create a DVD Insert containing the Chapter Titles, I found no way to copy the titles out of the iDVD or iMovie projects. I find it very primative that I have to manually retype (or individually copy/paste) all of the titles from one of these two project files. I am looking for a solution (maybe ultimately an enhancement) that allows me to copy these titles (like with iTunes) so that I can paste them into another application that will create my DVD Insert.
Any insight to shortcuts are appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Rob:
Welcome to discussions!
May I suggest using SnapzPro for copying your titles?

Also, please do not ever put sticky labels directly onto your DVDs (not that you said you were) because it will screw up your DVD player over time. Make a jewel case insert or you might want to look into an Epson printer (I use R300) that prints directly to printable DVd / CDs.

Export chapter titles for DVD case/label

Does anyone know of a way to export the titles of iMovie or iDVD chapters so that they can easily be put into the design of the DVD case cover?
Thanks for any information.

Chapter names are stored in the iMovie HD project file. They are also stored inside the reference movie that iMovie HD constantly updates for iDVD. (The reference movie for iDVD stored inside the project package. It is updated each time you save the project.)
If you have QuickTime Pro ($30, from Apple) you can use QuickTime Player to export the chapter track from that reference movie to a text file. One of the export options is to export just the chapter names. (There's another to export lots of other data about the chapter track, data you don't need.)
To export the chapter names to a text file, follow these steps:
• In the Finder, Control-click on the iMovie HD project icon and choose "Show Package Contents" from the popUp menu that appears.
• Locate the movie with the same name as your project inside the "iDVD" folder of the folder "Shared Movies".
• Double-click on that movie to open it in QuickTime Player. The chapter names will appear in the popUp menu at the bottom right corner of the movie window.
• Choose Window > Show Movie Properties. The window that opens lists all the tracks in the movie. One is "Chapter Track". Click on it.
• At the left end of the Chapter Track is a checkbox. Click on it to turn it ON.
• Click in the main movie window to bring it forward (activate it).
• Choose File > Export. In the Save file window that opens, choose "Text to Text" from the top popUp menu at the bottom of the window.
• Click on the "Options" button. In the window that opens, click on the radio button "Show Text Only". Click OK.
• Save the text file. Open the file in TextEdit or your favorite text editor.

How to view long chapter titles without abbreviation for audiobooks in music app?

Many of the names of the chapters of the audiobooks I listen to in the music app are extremely long (i.e., more than 22 characters). However, I cannot find a way to display more than the first ~22 characters.
When I start playing an audiobook, I click the little button in the upper right corner of the screen. This displays all of the chapter titles. However, it displays only one line per title, and if the title is longer than ~22 characters, it abbreviates with an ellipsis. Clicking on the title just causes it to play. Side scrolling doesn't seem to be available. I can find no way to display the whole title. This is extremely frustrating, because I like to know what I'm listening to, and I sometimes like to be able to choose a chapter based on the title.
Is it possible to display long chapter titles for audiobooks on iOS, or is this a missing feature that I need to ask Apple to incorporate into a future iOS build?
PS It would also be nice if the app displayed the chapter titles on the playback screen (i.e., on the screen one sees without having to click the button in the upper right hand corner). I'll suggest this to Apple as well. If others do the same, athttp://www.apple.com/feedback/ perhaps they'll listen.
PPS It would also be nice if audiobooks could be displayed by author, the way music can be displayed by artist, on iOS. Another piece of feedback I'll be giving Apple. Please do the same if you'd also like this feature.

How can I export to PDF for Offset printing including color and grayscale photo's?

After reading dozens of forum, I still don’t found the answer.
I made a photobook with full-colur and B/W photos for Offset printing. I want the B/W to be in grayscale to avoid color possible color shades. It seems InDesign doesn’t support grayscale, the images become way to dark. Even with exporting without any colour conversion or destination and/or including original colour profiles, the grayscale pictures are being exported to dark to PDF.
How can I export to PDF for Offset printing including color and grayscale photo’s?

Yes, the Photoshop & ID CMYK working spaces are the same
This can get difficult because the 3 programs handle soft proofing differently.
The working spaces don't matter, it's the document profile(s) that manage the preview. So here is the same grayscale image placed in ID on top and PS on the bottom. I've set my Photoshop info to show the doc profile in the lower left corner. I can see my InDesign's Document CMYK profile in my Proof Setup (the Working CMYK is different and isn't being used). Both profiles are effectively the same Coated FOGRA39 (Black Ink FOGRA in the case of PS).
But the previews don't match because I have Overprint turned off, so the InDesign preview is Gamma 2.2 or a "screen" media preview.
If I turn on Overprint preview I get a match because I'm soft proofing for print:

How to add another Chapter Page for more then 6 chapters & add right arrow?

Hello,
I created a project via the Magic iDVD option and it worked great and added multiple chapter pages for more then 6 chapters. Now, I manually added a submeno off of main and added 6 chapters but I need multiple pages since I have 40 chapters... I can't figure out how to add another chapter page and create a RIGHT ARROW navigation button for the next pages...
I also looked at the map view and see that on the working pages there is page connected to page... I also cannot find a way to add a page connected vi map view...
I have searched the forum but none of the answers were clear on how to do this... any help would be appreciated...
Thanks! T.

Adding the submenu is easy...making the button for it a "right arrow" is not.
You can keep adding submenus to other submemus by navigating to the appropriate menu and then choose the "add submenu" command from the iDVD project menu. This can be done in either normal or map view.
However, this creates a "folder" button, (or other things in some themes) not a right arrow. I agree it should be a choice! My 2nd best solution is to chage the folder button to a "text only button" and label it "More Chapters > >"
Another solution (3rd best??) is to use command-shift-4 when you are one one of your other menus that DOES have a right arrow, and take a mini picture of the arrow. Then choose one of the oval menu buttons on the button pane, and drag this tiny picture onto the button. Re-size it to make it close to the same size as your other buttons. It will have a funny edge on it from the button style, but it will look like a right arrow.

How to copy the same address for multiple contacts in Address Book?

Hi! I got a question, I didn't find an answer for yet.
How to copy the post address from one contact to another, without manual entering. I mean if I have one contact with already entered post address, can I just copy it someway at once to another contact?
I don't want cards to merge, I need separate contacts, that may have different phones, e-mails, but the same post address. Please, advise.

Thanks! yes, this is a solution I'm following now. But I was wondering about the similar way as it is made in Daylite or Contactizer - you create company with name and post address first, and then can create a contact for that company. And company name and post address will appear in contact name.
I just wonder why such a simple and useful solution isn't available in Address Book as default.
I know there are many scripts written for Address Book. Maybe there is something for this purpose?

How can I create a Title for the worksheet in Discoverer Plus

Dear members,
I am using discoverer 4i Plus to create workbooks. I am not finding an option to insert a title for the worksheet. In Discoverer Desktop we have a separate option to insert or edit a title. I am not sure how can we create titles in Plus.
Any suggestions.
Thanks
Sandeep

Hi,
I am not able to login to Discoverer Desktop Using my Applications username. My Desktop Version is 4.1.37. The same username works in Discoverer 4i Plus and i can create workbook there.
I went to Tools--->Options--->Connections and checked the option connect to both standard and application EUL's and while i am logging in i checked the small box which comes in the login screen. I do not know why this happening.
I am also able to login as the database user in Desktop but not as an application user.
I want to login into desktop as an application user and create a template workbook which has title and then assign that workbook to a particular responsibility since creating title cannot be done in Plus.
I am not sure what's going wrong here because the Desktop works for database user but not for an application user. Any comments are highly appreciated.
Thanks

Export chapter marker for WMV file or print a chapter marker list?

Is there any way to ether export chapter markers to a wmv file, or to print a chapter marker list from FCP?

It's strictly a QT function, AFAICT, moving marker files from one QT app to another. Could be wrong, though, so I hope you get better advice later today.
Does WMV even support markers? I haven't seen the ability in any of my references but I haven't actually gone searching for it.

How can I add chapter titles in transitions?

Hello-
Can anyone please assist with adding a Chapter Title in a transition using the PhotoBook theme?

You pick a title from the Title Browser. Then you drop it on a project clip where you want it to be. It can span multiple clips if you like.

How to export chapter screenshots for printing?

My office is working up a large collection of DVDs in Encore. As part of the job, our manager wants DVD cases that display thumbnails of the poster frames located at each chapter stop (chapters are set as automatic intervals in Encore). She saw that cases with thumbnail chapter images are provided by some of the big video companies like YesVideo when they make DVDs for customers, and decided she wants them for this job.
The problem is, we cannot figure out how to get screenshots of every chapter stop exported from Encore in an expeditious manner. The closest we have come to a solution is manually navigating to each chapter stop and using the "save frame as file" option. But for 24 stops per DVD, doing each chapter like this--for many DVDs--will take forever!
Is there a way to automate this? I can't believe Encore doesn't have a way to save all the chapter stop images in a given timeline as JPEG files. I'm used to automating so much in Photoshop!
Or, if there isn't an Encore way, does anyone know of another program that can do this? We found one called DVD Labeler that does something similar, but it doesn't do exactly what we need.
All advice is appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Stan--thanks for your help.
Believe me, I'm all for options that make it easier! But I'm not sure I understand why your method is easier.
Yes to your questions--set intervals, the beginning chapter is not special, poster frame is the same as the chapter.
We are doing exactly the same thing you describe doing in Premiere--just in Encore instead. We're using the "next chapter" button to jump to the chapter locations, and using "save frame to file" instead of "export frame."
No, it's not automatic, but for 24 chapters per DVD, it's still plenty time-consuming. So I'm not sure why your Premiere method would be preferable to what we're doing. But if I'm missing something, please let me know. :-)

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. . .

Export custom title for use on another computer

I created some custom lower thirds titles on my old computer using Motion 5 running Mountain Lion.
I want to be able to use these custom titles in FCPX on my new computer running Mavericks.
How do I do this?

Your custom titles should be in your Movies>Motion Templates folder on your old computer. Just copy that entire Templates folder to the Movies folder on your new computer. If your new computer already has a Motion Templates folder then just transfer the contents of the Templates folder on the old computer.
