How to remove iDVD Template Drop Zones?

Hi! I'm looking to remove all drop zones from iDVD to have a simple black background that could be replaced with a .mov file.
Essentially, I'd like to remove the 3 drop zones from the "Modern" 7.0 theme.
Please let me know if this is possible, thanks!
Alex

This is from iDVD Help: _Adding or hiding drop zones_
The drop zones in a theme are a permanent part of the graphics or animations included in that theme. Therefore, you can’t add drop zones, delete individual drop zones, or change the location of drop zones on a menu. You can, however, hide all the drop zones on a menu so that they don’t appear in your final project. This is particularly helpful when you want to create a simple custom theme.
To hide all drop zones on a menu screen:
Make sure the menu whose drop zones you want to hide is showing in the iDVD window.
With your pointer over the menu, press Command-I to open the Menu Info window.
Deselect the “Show drop zones and related graphics” checkbox.
The drop zones immediately disappear from the menu, and they do not appear in your final burned project. Some other graphical elements may also be hidden.
You can always show the drop zones and ornaments again after you’ve hidden them. Simply open the Menu Info window and select the “Show drop zones and related graphics” checkbox.
To replace the background, open the menu info window. For full directions, go to iDVD Help, and look up _Changing the background image of a DVD menu_.
I hope this helps.

Hi,
Perhaps this may help you. We have had a similar problem regarding making changes to an existing Approval Stage process since we updated to 8.81 PL07.
We used to be able to make changes to the authoriser for an approval stage (i.e. change the authoriser to a different person), but in PL07 onwards I believe SAP have put in place checks to ensure better consistency of data. Basically, if there are pending approvals based on an approval stage, then you cannot make changes to that Approval Stage until those approval requests have all been processed, i.e. either APPROVED or REJECTED. You have to make sure that there are no outstanding approvals, before the system will let you change the Approval Stage.
This was our scenario:
We had an Approval Template using an Approval Stage. The approval was for Sales Orders. We had to make sure that there were no Pending Approvals for Sales Orders. You can check for these by Administration->Approval Procedures->Approval Status Report.
After this, we also had to make sure that any Sales Orders (drafts) that have already been APPROVED, but have not yet been ADDED were either then ADDED, CLOSED or REMOVED. We used the DOCUMENT DRAFTS REPORT in SALES REPORTS to find any still OPEN draft orders that had an approval status of APPROVED. Use the Forms Setting to display the STATUS and APPROVAL STATUS columns in this report.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards

Template Drop Zone

Let's say your adding data to a template. The template has two drop zones (square box with arrow).
You have added the text in the appropriate text fields but you do not want to add any content (photo/video/whatever) to the drop zones.
*However, the drop zones remain in the template which of course you do not want to see in the final canvas.*
How (if possible) can you eliminate the drop zones entirely from the template. Can it be done in FCP (control/filter/motion tabs) or do you need to round trip the template to Motion and back for you to eliminate the drop zone boxes from your template?
Thanks
Dan

Tom
I was meaning templates found in the 'Effects' tab in the FCP browser.
At any rate, I know what you mean about removing them in Motion, Tom.
As a side note : I just dragged some freeze frames into the drop zones. I figured: why not?
Sometimes you just want a totally minimalist look. And I love deleting things to get to that level.
My living space looks that way. Spare, clean, cold, white. A major turn off for many.
Anyway, I like my video projects to look the same way.
.....but I digress.

Moving Still Graphics in Motion Template: Drop Zones

I am new to this and it is probably a simple answer. I have a portrait JPG photo to add to a drop zone in a template. How do I adjust the photo only so that it will not cut off the top of the photo. I am using fit in the image properties. It works with stretch but that option distorts the photo and centre makes the photo selection even smaller within the drop zone. The photo is quite large. Do I have to reduce it's size first?
If I move the photo down with the selection tool it does not allow me to move the photo down without cutting off the rest of the photo outside the drop zone box. All I want to do is move the photo down so it fits within the drop zone so that I can see the bride and groom.

hi,
what is the aspect ratio of the drop zone? if it doesnt match your photo then you are going to have to compromise on something. You might lose some picture either at the sides or top and bottom, or maybe you see some blank around the picure.
As Patrick says its a waste of power having a large picture if you are going to reduce its size and pop it in a frame. Further to this you might want to preflight your image to be the right ratio for your drop zone.
Hope this helps

Master Template Drop Zone Causes Frame Offset Problem

I created a template in Motion with two drop zones. When I use it in Final Cut as a master template, and drop in two video clips, the clips are offset about 4 frames from the originals. I can see this when I toggle the template's track on and off to see the underlying clips that got dropped in from my timeline. The cut points don't match up to what winds up in the template's dropzones for some reason.
This is a problem, because I'm using the template as a transition between full screen and a PIP-type effect.
The weird frame offset causes a visual glitch that I have to correct by adjusting the start/end points. This is extremely time consuming, as I have to apply the template to a huge number of clips.
I'm using the latest version of Final Cut Studio.

Just discovered that the frame offset increases the further I am into a clip.
I took a part from the beginning.. frame offset = 2 frames.
Took one closer to the end of a 4 minute clip.. frame offset = 14 frames.
The video is encoded in ProRes422 at 29.97 fps, and the Motion template is 29.97 also. Any ideas?

How to edit existing theme drop zones ?

I have created an opening theme with 3 drop zones. Have saved the project file. All is ok at this point.
Now, later, I want to edit / change one of the items/content in the drop zones. How do I recall/ edit the content of the existing drop zones for this existing theme in my time line ?

Jeff,
Once the theme is rendered the only way to change it is to redo it. The whole thing.

Can i backtime a clip into a template drop zone?

trying to use a transition template but when i drop the clip into the outgoing clip's drop zone well it goes in from an in point which makes aligning the transition with it's ingoing and outgoing clips a major pain in the ***. Ideally I'd like to just back time the outgoing clip. Can i do this? any other workaround suggestions?
thanks

thanks. i'm not sure if i did exactly what you meant, but i found a pretty good workaround. I put a marker in the template where the new clip starts, then i line that marker up with the edit point between the clips, giving me the ins and outs as you said.
cheers

Putting video clips in template drop zone

I can't drag my video into the control video drop zone. the computer won't let me drag the video clip anywhere...what could be limiting my ability to do this?

Are you working in FCP or Motion? If FCP, are you working with one of the Motion Master Templates? Also, what is the source of your video and what are it's settings?

How to import idvd templates into DVD SP4?

Apple motion 5 template drop zones play only 1080p video clips. 720p will play outside of dropzone.

I am also getting a -1 error when trying to export with the 720p clip in a dropzone. I bought the clip stock and they didn't offer this one in 1080p. Is there any explanation as to why this clip will not run in the dropzone but does on the canvas?

You shouldn't be "loading" drop zones in Motion. You should be doing that in FCPX (as long as the drop zone source well is published.) You do not have to use Motion to "bake" video for import into FCPX. Install the template for FCPX [ place the effect folder in ~/yourHomeFolder/Movies/Motion Templates/<TypeOfEffect>/<CategoryFolder - create a new one if you want>/<place effect folder here> ]
The types of effects are Effects, Titles, Generators, Transitions.
The effect you bought came in a folder. That folder structure must be maintained for FCPX. That usually means: a Motion document (.moef, .moti, .motr or .motn file), 2 .pngs and a Media folder. If any of these are missing, it will not work in FCPX.
To use the drop zone in FCPX, apply the effect to the clip (or if it is a Title, place the title over the storyline); click on the Drop Zone source well, then click on the clip you want to apply to the drop zone from either the Event browser or the storyline. You'll see a "2-up" display, and you should see an "Accept" button in the viewer to finalize the application to the drop zone.
If you have the same problems in FCPX, let us know!

Motion 3 template drop zone content won't play in FCP

I am new to Motion. I made a custom template and brought it into FCP. It inserts and previews fine. In FCP I place a clip into one of the masked-out "drop zones" under the "controls tab" and here is where I run into the problem:
The clip shows up ok in the template but doesn't play once I render; all I get is a static still from it.
I sense that I am almost there... any suggestions?
many thanks,

Hi, this problem has been solved over in the Quicktime discussions:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5106282&#5106282
Turns out you need to install Qmaster to play HDV files in QT (without FCP installed).

MOTION 3 - adding photos to template drop zones.

How to remove duplicate template names in central admin - Sharepoint 2013

Hi Guys,
I can see some duplicate site templates in central admin (SharePoint 2013).
How can i remove it? Please help me out on this.
Regards,
Krishna

Hello,
As there are many duplicate templates you could try below two steps.
1) Find the templates :
# Find the template name of SharePoint site using PowerShell
$web = Get-SPweb <Site Url>
Write-host “Web Template:”
$web.WebTemplate ” | Web Template ID:”
$web.WebTemplateId
$web.Dispose()
# To get a list of all web templates, use the following PowerShell code
function Get-SPWebTemplateWithId
     $templates =
Get-SPWebTemplate | Sort-Object "Name"
     $templates |
ForEach-Object {
$templateValues = @{
     "Title" =
$_.Title
     "Name" =
$_.Name
     "ID" =
$_.ID
     "Custom" =
$_.Custom
     "LocaleId" =
$_.LocaleId
New-Object PSObject -Property
$templateValues | Select @("Name","Title","LocaleId","Custom","ID")
Get-SPWebTemplateWithId | Format-Table
2) Remove the ones you want to
$templateTitle = "TitleOfTemplateToBeZapped"
  $site = Get-SPSite <Site coll url>
  $templates = $site.GetWebTemplates(1033)
#lcid, 1033 = U.S. $badTemplate
= $templates | where { $_.Title
-eq $templateTitle }
  if ($badTemplate
-ne $null) {
    # the hidden feature Id is the first part of the template
    #    name for custom web templates
    $id = $badTemplate.Name.substring(0,
$badTemplate.Name.IndexOf("#"))
    $badId = [System.Guid]($id)
    $site.Features.Remove($badId)
    write-output "Template '$templateTitle' has been removed"
} else {
    write-output "No template was found with the title of '$templateTitle'"
  $site.Dispose()

How to remove a template report or save one in another file

I saved a basic report form I'd made in "My Templates" in Numbers. Now, I've used it to make a monthly report for my organization and want to save that report in the organization's file, not in "My Templates". How do I do this"? Also, I'd like to remove monthly reports from "My Templates". How do I do that? I couldn't find any help in HELP.

Hi Jean,
This response applies to Numbers '09, operating under Mac OS X version 10.8.x (Mountain Lion). It may not be accurate for the same version operating under OS X v10.7.x (Lion).
If your original report form was saved using File > Save as Template, Number will have automatically placed it into your My Templates folder, and it will appear in the My Templates section of the Templates Chooser.
When you choose that template to open a new document, the new document will open as "Untitled"
Click Save at this point to open the Save dialogue.
Change the Name of the document in the Save As: box. (hilited)
IF the dialogue shows only the Save AS: box, the Where: popup and two buttons (Save and Cancel), as seen above, click the disclosure triangle to the right of the Save AS box to get the display below (plus a list of the files and folders in the folder indicated in the pop-up)
Change the destination folder by navigating to the one in which you want it saved. (Pop-up below the title box, and file/folder list in window)
When the pop-up shows the name of the folder in which you want to save the document, Click Save.
Now begin working on the document you have created, named, and shown Numbers where you want saved.
Numbers will now automatically save that document in that folder when you press command-S or choose Save from the File menu.
You need to go through the steps above for each new document.
Regards,
Barry
