  • How do you return to main menu at end of movie in iDVD 11?

    I have created a movie in iMovie '11 with chapter markers, and imported it into iDVD 7.1.2 (1158) on an iMac
    running OS X Lion 10.7.2
    The movie imports all chapters with corresponding labels perfectly. I added a chapter at the very beginning of the movie in iMovie, and it shows up fine in iDVD.
    I removed AutoPlay since I want the DVD to play the Main Menu upon inserting it into a DVD player. What I can't figure out is how to make the DVD return to the Main Menu once it finishes playing to the end of the movie. It will automatically go to the Chapters selection menu instead. Is it possible to have it return to the Main Menu?

    It is very possible that your iDVD Project has no Chapter Markers.
    It's possible.  My "project" which included pictures as well as movies was all done in iPhoto as a slide show.  From there I exported the slideshow into iDVD.
    I sort of messed up "I think."  I believe I did the original burn incorrectly-tester #1.  I re-burned another one this afternoon which turned out very well-tester #2.  Think I will stick with the options I used for tester #2 since it was the easiest.
    For "chapters" I will need to do some extensive "how to" reading especially when it comes to iMove.  I used iPhoto since it accepts both photos & movies.  I "think" iMovie only deals with movies?
    Thank you very much for your last post.  It was very helpful. 
    Now onto the iPhoto fourms to learn how to "add" photos & movies to where I want them, not where the computer wants to put them.

  • Lost sound in some film clips when finishing project.  Using iMovie 11, after adding music to photo section, could not get sound back in 2 film clips at end of movie.  Beginning clips ok. How do I restore sound? Thx.

    Everything in your project will be exported when you use the share menu.
    If you want to export only half, I suggest that you
    1) Select the project in the Project Library.
    2) Click FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT
    3) Give the duplicate a name, like Project A snippet.
    4) Open the duplicate project in the Project editor and delete the segments that you do not need.
    5) Then Share.
    You mentioned surrounding a portion of the clip you were editing in Yellow. Once you do this, you should right-click and then select either DELETE SELECTION, TRIM TO SELECTION, or one of the other options available. That is a key tool in editing.
    You mentioned MPEG Streamclip. I agree that MPEG Streamclip is a great tool.

  • How can I not "fade to Black" at end of Movie?

    Hi experienced iMovie people,
    Been searching for a while and still can't find an answer. I'm trying to end the movie with a "Title" and it still fades to back. I've tried cut, etc. which worked great on the opening "Title" where I wanted the screen to show the text but doesn't work at the end. You're welcome to see the movie at: http://AudioGirlProductions.com to see what I mean. It's right there on the Home Page.
    Thanks,
    Lori Rae

    That can happen if the audio is longer than the movie. You need to crop the audio (not just fade it).

  • How do you select/move multiple clips from one timeline to another?

    Has to do with combining multiple edls from Avid - required due to an issue with duplicate reel names in the original Arri footage. I can move them one at a time, but it is very tedious. Is there a way to select multiple clips and move them together?

    Actually discovered the magic of the shift key.
    IRCP Beauty doesn't recognize multiple timelines in a session, so first you have to at least get the footage on multiple tracks in the same timeline. Shift + drag on the track will allow you to move it to another timeline. Also Shift + drag on the center of the first clip in a sequence will slide the entire sequence down - which is how timelines end up getthing offset all the time. Also, if there are multiple tracks in a timeline and some are locked and some aren't, Shift + drag on a clip will slide ALL UNLOCKED tracks in the timeline.
    Finally, Shift + click on either in or out marker moves both points up or down the timeline.

  • How to get a movie to be loading in background?

    Hi, I posted this in the General forum, but it wasn't getting
    much interest. I'm hoping someone here can help.
    We're designing a portfolio site. It will have a fairly large
    amount of large bitmap images that need to look really good.
    I'll make another post to make sure I have the very best
    optimization techniques down. But to keep quality up, some movies
    may just end up being fairly large (though I'm not sure how 'large'
    is defined these days with broadband).
    - But I'm wondering if/how to have a movie(s) 'preload' in
    the background so that when it is called up, it is all or mostly
    loaded in the browser cache?
    Basically, we've divided each of the sections of the
    portfolio up into separate movies, with a various number of large
    images each. These are called up when you click their text link in
    the landing page area. I was hoping that as people hit the landing
    area and are reading the text or looking over the links, a couple
    of our larger-sized movies could be loading in the background so
    they don't have to wait as long if/when they click the link to that
    movie.
    Thanks. This is a bit new to me, so I want to make sure it's
    done as well and efficiently as possible. It needs to function and
    look very professional.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Just a couple questions for clarification.
    - Is loading these movies with an _alpha zero in our initial
    'landing page' movie (which does not have a preloader) going to
    cause this initial movie to have problems (with
    slowdowns/chunkiness)?
    - Are you saying to assign _alpha to the target within the
    initial 'landing page' movie or to the movie you are loading?
    - Any opinions on the efficiency differences between doing
    this with the _alpha or the _level commands?
    - Any other methods?
    Thanks again for the help!

  • HT204382 how can i see movies in quicktime?

    How can I see movies in Quicktime?

    You can try buying an adapter that'll plug into the docking port (where you plug in the sync cable), and it'll have a cord with it thats a three banded 1/8th inch (like a headphone jack but with three black rings on it. On the other end will be RCA cables (the red, white and yellow video cables.)
    Plug those into your tv, change your tv to that source and see if you can see the movie.
    Works fir my iPod touch, so should for the iPad. And can be cheaper than the apple tv.

  • How to end a work item exlicitly without executing it?

    i want to find out how to end a workitem explicitly without executing it from the business workplace. we have created a dummy workitem and would like to end it when it is not needed.
    i have set up the terminating event in the workitem task but even though the event is raised the workitem is not ended and the workitem is still in the inbox. i was expecting that when the event is raised the event will end the workitem and it will move into the outbox.
    am i doing something worng? why isnt the workitem getting ended and move to outbox when the terminating event is raised?

    Hi Arghadip,
    thanks for your inputs. That was really useful but in my case i dont have the workitem ID. Actually here is my process, the system creates a workflow when a invoice is created and it is blocked for payment. When the invoice triggers a workflow it does two things in a FORK. One it sends an email and the second it sends a workitem. The workitem is a dummy workitem. When the user reply's to the email a RFC FM is called from the external system which will release the invoice in SAP. Now once this is done we would like to close the workitem which is lying in the business workplace. So i have implemented the terminating event however i guess that doesnt work. When the RFC FM is called externally it releases the Invoice using a BAPI and once it is done i am calling the FM SWE_EVENT_CREATE to raise the event to terminate the event.
    Am i doing something wrong?

  • Jump to Slideshow at end of Movie?

    Hi,
    How do I do this with a chapter marker? i just simply want a DVDSP slideshow to play if a user presses a chapter forward button before the movie finishes.

    Figured it out. Just added a chapter marker to end of movie track and set track end jump to slideshow. Not at all difficult.

  • How to save and  move an application

    Hi,
    I have made an application on Oracle Express. How to save and move that to another machine ?
    Many thanks.

    I'm in the process of porting my XE app to a 10.1 instance.
    I created an app export and export file of the schema. Then I installed a client on the same machine so I could connect and I get errors detailed in the end of this thread when attempting to import. Most of the tables are successful however, none of the procedural code goes in. The app export imported fine.
    Now, I can manually copy the objects that remain but only if I can connect to XE and this ability seems to have been lost with the install of the 10.1 client.
    Does anyone know how I can connect to XE using PLSQL Developer or is it indeed possible to connect to XE on a machine that is configured to also connect to a 10.1 remote server? I have installed the 10.1 client into a new Oracle home.

  • How can't I move all my contacted and photos from my old iCloud account to my new account

    How can't I move all my contacted and my photos from my old iCloud account to my new iCloud account . And how do I know I got photos saved on my iCloud account

    If you sign into your old account using your iPhone and turn on contacts (Settings > iCloud) then once all of your contacts are on your iPhone turn contacts back off and select keep on my iPhone.  Then delete account on the old account and sign in with your new iCloud account and turn on contacts and select merge.  That will get your contacts over.
    If you have photos stored in iCloud it will be in My Photo Stream.  This section only keeps the last 30 days of auto uploads from any of your devices or computers that are using this feature.  You can access these photos by signing into the old iCloud account in Settings > iCloud and enable Photos > My Photo Stream.  If you have any photos in there, they will load into your Photos App.  In the Photos App, tap Albums in the bottom right, then tap My Photo Stream.  There is no way to upload them to your new iCloud account once you sign into it short of creating a Shared Photo Stream and inviting yourself to it.
    In the end you should really try to keep one Apple ID for everything when possible as there is no way to merge Apple IDs and you can end up in a tangled mess.

  • Ending a movie in Premiere Elements 7

    Premiere Elements 7:
    How do I end my movie without the extra 10 minutes of blackspace that shows up everytime I render it?
    My movie has video clips, slides, and transitions. I never put a formal ending on it, I just stopped dragging material into the sceneline. Once I render a 30 minute video, roughly 15 extra minutes of black space show up. How do I tell Premiere Elements 7 to end the movie?
    Thanks,
    Ben

    I am stumped, as well, especially as PE doesn't allow one to "lock" a Track, or anything similar. It should be an easy process to select, and then delete the offending Clips. If the Lasso does not work, try Rt-clicking the Clip and choosing Clear (I think that is the proper syntax for deleting in PE and not storing the Clip in the Clipboard). If not Clear (the term in P-Pro, then look for Delete).
    One observation that I have made, as to a possible cause for these tiny Clips, is that if one drags a Clip to abut to another Clip, with Snap On, and you drag too far (basically banging the moved Clip against the previous Clip), you can locate the moved Clip INTO the previous one, cutting of a frame, or two. These will then automatically go to the end of the Timeline, without any warning, or notification. Then, as you tighten things up on the Timeline they remain orphaned and can be quite a ways from the actual Clips, depending on how much editing one does. The trick is to drag the Clip (the one being moved) until you see the thick black line. It now butts up to the previous Clip. Let it go now and do not drag it into the previous Clip, or you'll get those orphans. Now, they *should* be easy to delete, if you remember to go looking for them. Always check the Time Code of your (intended) Clip with the Time Code for the Duration of your Timeline. They should match frame for frame. Otherwise, you've got an orphan problem.

  • Where do I see how many photos (and movies) are in my Revel library?

    I see no place that states how many photos or movies are in Revel.

    Hi Pattie,
    Thanks for the reply...but here's the status:
    A.
    I'm in the Revel program downloaded on my desktop...not on its web site...and I made an album but can't find any place where it shows the number of photos in that album.
    As I view Mel's Library page and go to: View/Added By there is a total in the upper left corner that shows the total photos Added by ME. 
    But when viewing photos in my library: View/ All Photos by Date in either Grid or Track there is no total anywhere on the page. Each track has it's total and that's it.
    I don't understand how Revel ID's a Duplicate. 
    A window, Skipped Photos, pops up and states, "X photos were duplicates" indicating that they were not uploaded - and that  is supported by the math (in 3 out of 5 uploads): Selected photos minus Videos and Dupes = # of photos uploaded.
    However, on the last upload of 2000 Selected photos, the window said there were 2 duplicates. I counted 19 identical photos! Also without Revel identifying what the dupes actually were (by its reckoning) I have no way of determining what was not uploaded. All VERY confusing.
    When uploading using the download program on my laptop Revel won't upload videos.
    B.
    I went to the website and yes, when I click on the album it shows the photo count at the bottom. However, in order to get to the bottom of 10,000+ photos in the Library is a major and lengthy process as clicking on the side bar only takes me down a few photos with each click...and not to the end! There's no way to easily get to the bottom!  Scrolling the photos is equally slow and useless when all I'm trying to see is the total count! click on Sort oldest 1st and the newest go to the top! and the reverse is true of the other!

  • How can I convert .mov files for use with other apps?

    When loading movies taken on a friend's digital camera to my PC, the video files were saved as Quicktime .mov files. I am now unable to pull those files into any other software program (I want to put them onto a CD or DVD and play on external players.) How can I convert .mov files to a .wmv or .avi or mpeg?

    Kodak Digital Camera QuickTime MOV Problems
    After battling a number of serious problems with the videos taken by my new Kodak Digital Camera, I decided to write up this page so that anyone searching the web would find out the true answers without as much grief!
    I’ve also made some other comments about my experience with the camera, in case anyone was considering buying a Kodak camera in the near future.
    I bought the camera just before Christmas 2004 in the US. At the time of writing, it is a pretty good model for domestic use—about 5.2 megapixels, costing about US$400 (or AU$600 back here in Australia). From a company as reputable as Kodak, I expected no problems.
    The first disappointing thing was that the spring inside the spring-loaded battery clip, inside the camera, came loose within days. It proved impossible to reattach it without completely dismantling the camera, which (despite my engineering qualifications) I was not willing to do. This would usually have been a warranty item, but Kodak’s warranty does not extend to other countries. I’ve since had to jam cardboard in to keep the battery clip engaged, and have taped the battery bay shut to avoid it opening accidentally when taking the camera out of the case. This works fine with the docking station (an extra AU$100!), but it means I can no longer charge the battery without the docking station (since you need to take it out to charge it). I was not impressed!
    The camera takes good photos, and I have no complaint with that. The controls and camera menus are well-designed. The large display is excellent.
    The EasyShare software is not as easy to use as it looks, has a habit of crashing, has a web update program that is always running in the background of Windows, and transferring images is nowhere as easy or quick as it should be. I’ve now uninstalled it completely, and simply copy the photos directly from the device. (If the camera memory is nearly full, and you just want to transfer the last few photos, then it’s impossible to use the EasyShare software to browse the camera’s photos without it actually downloading the whole lot through the USB cable—and it takes forever! Copying from the device directly doesn’t hit this bug.)
    The capability to take video using the camera was a great attraction when I selected it, and, if it worked properly, it would make it quite a handy little camcorder in its own right. With a 512 MB memory card in it, over an hour of video can be recorded at Video-CD quality (320 x 240 24fps video, 8 kHz audio). It’s not full digital video, but it would still be a pretty good feature for a US$400 camera. If it worked.
    The first disappointing thing about taking videos is that the optical zoom cannot be adjusted while the camera is recording. It can only be adjusted between video sequences. I don’t know why this restriction was made in the design.
    The real problems, however, start when you try to do anything with the video clips captured by the camera. Kodak has chosen to capture the videos in QuickTime format. This is fine—QuickTime is, technically, excellent—except that there is no simple way to convert QuickTime MOV files to AVI or MPEG or VCD. The Kodak software comes with a QuickTime player, so you can see the video clips on the computer you installed the software on—and they look good. Problem is that you can’t just dump those MOV files onto your Video-CD creator (it will usually want AVI or MPEG files).
    It takes some time to realise that Kodak have not even bothered to include any software with the camera that can convert these MOV files to a more useful format. This is a serious PR blunder, and anyone bitten by this is unlikely to go near the Kodak brand ever again.
    After some web searching, owners of these cameras generally find that the best (only?) freeware solution to convert MOV to AVI is Bink and Smacker’s RADtools program.
    RADtools is amazingly powerful for the price (i.e. free), but it hits two fundamental problems with Kodak Digital Camera MOV video files, that are the fault of the Kodak camera, not RADtools. (I know this because every other MOV converter hits the same problems—except one, as you will see below.)
    The first problem is that the sound cannot be converted properly. When you convert any Kodak MOV files, there is an “aliasing” of the sound at the upper frequencies. This is a technical description—you get a whispery, tinny, C3PO type of echo to everything. It really destroys the quality of the video clips (especially bad when I am trying to capture priceless memories of my 4- and 7-year-old sons—I don’t want their voices destroyed for all time).
    Every conversion program I tried ended up with the same audio problem. I concluded that it is something strange in the way the Kodak cameras store the MOV files.
    Strangely enough, I noticed that the QuickTime player didn’t distort the audio like this. The audio sounds just fine through QuickTime. More on this shortly.
    The second, more serious problem is that RADtools could not properly convert some of the video clips at all. (This problem only affected less than 10% of the clips I originally filmed, but most of those clips were very short—less than 20 seconds. It seems that the probability of this problem gets worse, the longer the clip.) RADtools would misreport the number of frames in the clip, and would stretch out a small number of frames of video (in slow motion) to match the length of the audio.
    Again, I confirmed that this is a property of some of the MOV files stored by the camera. Other conversion tools also had problems with the same MOV clips.
    After more angst, I found a number of websites in which frustrated owners of these Kodak cameras have reported the exact same problems.
    It was only then that I discovered that QuickTime itself can convert MOV files to AVI. Believe it or not, it’s built into the QuickTime Player that Kodak supplies, or that you can download free from apple.com. The problem is that you can’t use it unless you pay Apple to upgrade to QuickTime Pro.
    After realising that this would probably be the only way to get decent audio for these clips, I paid the AU$59 to Apple Australia to get the licence key that enables the extra “Pro” menu options in QuickTime.
    Sure enough, you can “Export” any MOV file to a number of formats, including AVI. And guess what? The audio comes out fine!
    So, the first piece of advice I can give is: pay Apple the US$29 (or whatever amount it is in your country) to upgrade QuickTime to QuickTime Pro.
    From here, however, there are still a few snags to untangle.
    The first is that the default settings for Exporting to AVI don’t give a great result. It defaults to the Cinepak codec, medium quality. This looks terrible compared to the original QuickTime movie. Even on maximum quality, that codec just doesn’t give good results.
    I finally found that the best option is to use the Intel Indeo Video 4.4 codec, set on maximum quality. This creates AVI files that are 10 to 20 times larger than the original MOV files, but the quality is there. If (like me) you only want the AVI files so you can dump them into your Video-CD program, then you want to keep the quality as high as possible in this first step. The extra hard disk space is not really a concern. When your VCD program converts the AVI files to MPEG, it will compress them to the usual VCD size.
    Now for the biggest snag: those problem MOV files are still a problem, even for QuickTime Pro. Unbelievably, these Kodak cameras are spitting out MOV files which have some sort of technical flaw in their data specifications. QuickTime is able to play them back fine—and that seems to be all that the Kodak engineers really checked. However, if QuickTime Pro tries to export them, then when the progress bar gets to the end, it never finishes. It just keeps going. If you check the output folder with Explorer, and keep hitting F5 to update the file listing, you can see the file getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger. It never stops.
    That this happens even for QuickTime itself (the native format for these files) confirms that the problem is with the software built into these Kodak cameras. It would be nice it they issued a patch or a fix. I couldn’t find one.
    Fortunately, there is a “workaround” for this problem. I found it when trolling the net trying to find solutions to all these problems. The workaround is to use QuickTime Pro’s cut and paste facility. Open the problem MOV file, then press Ctrl-A (the standard key combination for “select all”—in this case it selects the entire film clip, as you can see by the grey selection of frames at the bottom of the player). Then hit Ctrl-C (i.e. copy, which in this case copies all the frames, but not the incorrect data structure in the original MOV file). Now hit Ctrl-N (i.e. new, in this case a new MOV file or player). In this new player, press Ctrl-V (i.e. paste). Now you have a new version of the MOV file with the bad data structure exorcised. You can save this under a new name, but make sure you specify “Make movie self-contained”—otherwise, it will simply be a link to the original (bad) MOV file, which you are probably going to delete once you save the exorcised version. (You also cannot overwrite the original file, because it needs to access that to make the “self-contained” movie. You need to give it a slightly different name, save it “self-contained”, then delete the original and rename the new copy back to what you wanted it to be. A pain, I agree, but at least the **** thing works—finally!)
    The exorcised MOV file can now be used to Export to AVI format. (I also keep all the MOV files on a separate CD, in case I want to reconvert them to a different format in the future. I figure it’s better keeping the exorcised ones than the haunted ones.)
    So I hope that all this answers a few of your questions. No, you weren’t being incredibly stupid.
