How to use idvd themes in fcp?

hello everyone,
anyone here know how i can use/import the themes from idvd and put pictures in it so i can put it in the fcp timeline like the templates in motion?thanks!

I am not sure if you can just import them as such, you may need to 'recreate' them in Motion. There is a way which is a bit complex, maybe someone else have a more refined and elegant way. The only thing that comes to my mind is to place my images in iDVD and finalise the title sequence. Then I would burn a DVD (or create a Disk image) and then dub this DVD on tape and re-capture or use one of the rippers to extract the DVD content. This is what comes to my mind, otherwise, it may be simpler to recreate it in Motion.
Hope that helps.

Using idvd themes in imovie and photshop?

hi,
i would like to use idvd themes for the cover art of a dvd and sounds for imovie clips. therefore, i wanted to know if and how it's possible to find the image-file of an idvd theme so that i can import it into photoshop, as well if and how i can find the sound-file of an idvd theme so that i can use it in imovie. i would be happy if i can avoid using extra software like audio hijack pro etc. to extract the sound and graphics. is there's an easy way to find and use those files?
regards,
andi

You can look in the parcel contents, richt click or control click, than in the "contents" folder the "Recources" folder there you can find "tif" files.
Its a long list.

How to convert iDVD theme to .mov file. for use in FCP?

I would like to use the Baby Mobile iDVD theme as a clip in a movie to be created on FCP. I dropped my pics in the iDVD project with the Baby Mobile theme and put in a green background so I could later key out the background and replace it with a different background. I deleted the title and added a short movie to the menu. Because I don't want to use the theme as a DVD menu, I made the menu button the same color as the green background.
I then burned the DVD. Next I ripped the DVD using MactheRipper to give me the Video TS folder. I then used Handbrake to convert the VOB files to Mpeg4. Unfortunately, Handbrake only converted the 10 second movie I put in iDVD and not the Baby Mobile iDVD theme.
Any ideas out there to help me use the iDVD menu theme as a standalone clip in a movie?
I did find the source material of the theme in the Mobile.pox folder; it contains the 2 .mov files with alpha channels but I would rather not go through the time consuming process of keying in the movements and size of my pics to match the Mobile. It would take too much time and I don't know how successful it would be.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

Options:
-If you have FCS2, you can use Motion to track the points, thus saving you lots of keyframing time in FCP.
-You can use MPEG Streamclip to rip the DVD (I believe it can find the menu files)
-You can get a screen capture program such as Snapz X Pro to screen capture it.
-As it encodes the media in iDVD's burning process, you can find where it stores the temporary copy of the MPEG2 that it creates, and snag that file before it finishes the burn and deletes it.
NOTE: I've never tried option 4, nor do I know if it will work. I just came up with it.

Using iDVD themes

How do I import iDVD theme footage into DVD Studio Pro? I have no idea where the iDVD themes are even stored on my hard drive... I've looked, believe me.

In Finder, go to the iDVD icon in the Applications folder...then right-click (or control-click for the one-button mouse) and select "show package contents". You'll find the iDVD themes in Resources/Resources...but I'm not sure about importing iDVD theme footage into DVDSP. The documentation seems to indicate that you can if using iDVD versions prior to iDVD5, but I've never tried it.

Using iDVD themes in Motion?

Has anyone ever figured out a way to make use of iDVD themes in Motion? There are several that would make nice elements for other projects.

HOW TO USE IDVD CORRECTLY

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use iDVD. There's a iDVD Support Community where everybody uses iDVD. You should also post this question there. https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/idvd

How do you burn an iMovie project to a DVD without using iDVD themes?

I created a presentation (slide show with music) in iMovie and need to burn it to a DVD. When I pull it into iDVD, it forces me to pick a theme which puts more music in. I just want it the way I have it in iMovie! How do I do that?

(From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
Our resident expert, Old Toad, also recommends this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results. That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option. Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.
Hope this helps!

Using idvd themes in toast

Hi I had a problem with jumping discs in idvd and i had a copy of Toast 7 in my office so loaded it up on mac and burnt a copy of the dvd in question and it worked perfectly.
I read somewhere that you can use the themed menus from idvd and use them in Toast just wandering if this is possible and how to do it so that the menus can be functional..
Many thanks Tim

I know your passionate about not using imovie 8 9 11 because its loss of quality ( discarding every second line ) but do you think it would effect the actuall burning of the disc?
My DVDs from iM'08 to 11 are noticable less quality - else I'd not make a fuzz about it
Aslo can i get hold of this imovie 6 you so strongly recommend?
Only as second-handed - try e-bay and to a rather high price. Still I like it.
But if You are migrating over to FCE/P then You got a much more powerfull tool.
Thanks for advise about having nothing on in the background I am always doing other things!
I don't - I even turn on screen saver and a 100% black photo. Got a feeling
that this did not take longer but ev. slightly faster.
What about if I buy another external dvd burner do you think that will be better?
Mine are not (ForMac) - But brand of DVD is very important.
Also with my pc I use adobe prem ele 7 and i used to edit exactly the same stuff on it, it burns way quicker than mac and I never had a problem with my dvds. . .
Out of range Error - Does this PC-DVD look as good as iDVD done ones ? or even better ?
I am still learning final cut express 4 so maybe my life will change when I have that mastered.
GOOD Luck ! - I love it. - To me the need of an external FW hard disk (Mac OS Extended - formatted)
and the way to set up a project - and collect all scratch hard disk and material to this project
folder (on the external hard disk) was the largest "re-learning step" to me.

How to use French keyboard with FCP English Shortcut

Hi,
I have a new MAC PRO and im using FCP, the shortcut wont work
when my keyboard is French keyboard. I always need to change it back to english
to be able to use them. Since im always writing in french, it became a pain to switch it 20-30 times per days
On my last mac I didnt have that problem, I tried looking for some setting in FCP
but I can't find any.
Does anybody know how to make this work ?
Thanks !

Remapping is where you set keys on your keyboard to perform specific functions that aren't otherwise set to keys. Once you change your keyboard to French, you lose some of the pre-mapping capabilities. Go into Tools/Keyboard Viewer, and you can map from there. If it's confusing, look it up in the manual. It's clearly outlined for you.
Bonne chance!

How to use ScaleNine themes to skin an Adobe Air Mobile App

Hi,
I'm rather new to Adobe Air development But I really like it! Now that I've created my app I would like to skin it. I've found ScaleNine (http://www.scalenine.com/gallery/gallery-1.php) which has ready made cool skins for Flex and Air. I downloaded the samples and they compile and work beautifully. HOWEVER: I can't seem to be able to use them to skin my Air mobile app.
Can anyone post an example ViewNavigatorApplication themed with one of the themes there? this one (http://www.scalenine.com/themes/blend/Blend.html) looks as though someone tailored it to my app :-)
Thanks a lot!
Avi

I don't know how your application is structured, but if you can split sections off into separate SWFs(plain AS3 document) then you could host those section SWFs online and require the user to download them on first run.
You could use the FileReference object to download the SWFs, save them to the File.applicationStorageDirectory, and then display/load them up with the Loader object when needed from the app storage directory. You would possibly need to check to see if the files are present at every boot of the app though as a user could "Clear Data" or "Clear Cache" of the app in the Settings of their device and one or both of those could/would delete the downloaded files.

Using iDVD themes for commercial DVDs?

If I produce a DVD with iDVD using one of the standard themes can I sell the DVD without copyright problems?

John,
You can read over the SLA http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/iLife11.pdf
I went through it and the only thing I found relating to this topic is MPEG-2 for only consumer use.
Hope this helps.
