HT5065 can movies be used as chapter start in iBooks Author?

Hi all,
part of a book i am designing has a requirement to use movies/moving images as full-page (full-screen) chapter starts. Is this possible? The movies would have text overlaid on them. Many thanks for your time. Best wishes, Richard

OK KT, if i decide to go the full-screen 'tap to play' route, is that possible with chapter starts? Would this have any adverse effect on other aspects of the book? For instance, the chapter starts have a linked relationship with the contents page, would it affect this?
However, if it is possible to do this do i simply delete the existing picture, drop in a media widget then insert my movie into that?

    Hi
    Spotlight.
    A Search app top right of the Menu Bar ( or it was until Mountain Lion when Notifications now has the far right spot)
    Spotlight has a magnifying/spy glass type icon.
    It has been part of the OS for sometime now.  (I have one computer here currently booted in to OS X 10.3  (Panther) and it is not in that version but it is soon after that.)
    The Archive folder is dated folders.
    Uploaded with Skitch!  (Click Pic or link to see bigger version)
    I find Spotlight and then using the Show in Finder option and look through the list shows me the Files saved since Mountain lion was installed.
    Also the Messages > File Menu > Recent Items will call up the Chat again (And show you the conversation joined up with other Saved chats back to the Mountain Lion Install date).
    To Look in the Home Folder/Library you can do the following:-
    Have the Finder as the "Front" App (Showing in the Menu bar)
    Use the Go Menu
    WHilst this is in the Drop down view hold trhe ALT key down
    This display the hidden Library
    Select the Library.
    You can then select the various folders in the Library.
    You need Messages and the contents of that folder.

  • HT5067 When using a Keynote Widget with iBooks Author, do the transitions and builds between Keynote slides appear in the iPad preview version of the iBook, or only in the finished product?

    I'm using the Keynote Widget in iBooks Author, and the Keynote presentation uses the Magic move transition between slides.  When I preview the iBook on a new iPad, the Magic move transitions don't show up (i.e. the transition from slide to slide is standard, not Magic move).  Any suggestions?

    Hyperlinks and magic move should work but don't. However I  found the following as a workaround for me. Use three slides instead of two to generate the magic move effect in Keynote presentations on Ibooks using hyperlinks only. As an example
    Supose an object on  slide 1 was set as a hyperlink to go to a slide which then had a magic move effect to a third slide. For some reason it works on the mac, but not on ibooks. However you can create the magic move transition effect by simply adding a "dummy slide" as follows.  Suppose an object on slide 1 had an object which would hyperlink to slide 4. Duplicate Slide 4, and make the duplicate slide 5. Then set Slide 4  to automatically transition (with no effect) to the next slide (i.e. slide 5) after .5 seconds. Have Slide 5 set to transition to Slide 6 using magic move automatically after .5 seconds. By having the hyperlink point to slide 4 the magic move effect from Slide 5 to Slide 6 works fine (with a brief 1 sec delay). IF the hyperlink pointed directly to Slide 5, the magic move transition to slide 6 would not work.
    For some reason having an extra slide makes magic move work even though it is not needed on the mac. I hpe this helps.

  • How can I make a custom book size in iBooks Author

    Book sizes (Landscape or Portrait) are fixed when using iBooks Author.
    Covers, however, can be square.

  • Is there a limit to how much text I can put in the scrolling sidebar widget in iBooks author?

    Is there a limit to how much text I can put in the scrolling sidebar widget in iBooks author? I have recently tried putting about 3,500 words into a scrolling sidebar widget, and I can't seem to get all of the text into the widget. Thoughts? ideas?

    There are button limits in the DVD spec (not just Encore).
    DVD, 4:3 menu = 36 buttons
    DVD, 16:9 menu = 18 buttons

    How can I add page turn animation to my iBooks Author 2.2 file? Can I add html / a plugin?

    I concur with Tom. That feature is not available with iBooks. If the page turning effect is important, you could consider developing a fixed layout Epub 3 instead.

  • Can custom HTML widgets be copy protected in iBooks Author 2.0?

    Hi to All!
    Never used iBooks Author up to this point, but looking in to it.
    As per the subject heading: If a custom designed HTML widget is used in iBooks Author 2.0 can it easily be copied & pasted by viewers for their own puposes? If this is so can this action be prevented - i.e. can a custom HTML widget be copy protected in some fashion?
    Thank You.

  • Can I put copyright on my ebook in iBooks Author?

    I've started writing my first ebook in iBooks Author and I was wandering wether I could put copyright on it and how. All the content in the book in my own but I was confused as to wether copyright still applied and how I could apply it.

    In addition to using the copyright symbol in your book, I recommend actually registering your content with the copyright office (http://www.copyright.gov/). While the copyright is still valid if you don't register it, my understanding is that you can't collect any monetary damages if someone steals your work and it wasn't registered.

  • Use of Edge Composition in iBooks Author, a question

    Hi folks!
    I'm using with great pleasure Adobe Edge Animate 1.0 to make Html Widgets for Apple iBooks Author!
    In a composition, I've defined this variable:
    var  track1 = new Audio();
            track1.src = "media/track1.m4a";
            track1.volume = 0.5;
    and made it play:
    track1.play();
    All it works but...what if I want that - when I go out from the widget on iBooks on iPad - the track pauses?
    I've coded this in my index.html file inside the widget:
        <script type="text/javascript">
       widget.pauseAudioVisual = function() {
        // do this when closing Widget
    $.Edge.getComposition(EDGE-114545384).getStage();
        track1.pause();
      widget.didEnterWidgetMode = function() {
        // do this when entering widget
    $.Edge.getComposition(EDGE-114545384).getStage();
        track1.pause();
      </script>
    ... but when I go out form widget the track still plays on....
    Any hint?
    Many thanks in advance!

    Hi Elaine!
    Thanks for your attention!
    I've made a simple example with a play/pause button but it doesn't work: when I exit the widget the sound still plays. You can download it here:
    www.terredainventare.it/Testaud.wdgt.zip
    Accordingly to this guy http://ibooksauthor.es/eventos-de-reentrada-y-salida-en-un-widget-html/, the    widget.pauseAudioVisual and   widget.didEnterWidgetMode should work!
    Many thanks for your help!

    The only people who can read your book in .ibooks format are people with an iPad, and an iPad cannot read a dvd.  So you should probably export it as .pdf.

  • How can i add settings to my book on ibook author?

    i'm making a project, and i almos finished, but when i made a preview, i can't change the text size; i want to add that setting to my book, i mean that option on the right top corner where you can change the text size and background color. Thanks for your help

    Not available in iBooks Author.   Available options are brightness slider, book search and bookmark.
    Set your font size higher than default if you have concerns.
    I have to say, I have not checked the portrait templates yet...which are more likely to be used for flowing text only books, but knowing Apple, I doubt they will have the option either.

    I am not from Apple. Apple is not here. Apple does not answer questions here. There are only other users, such as yourself, here.
    NEVER give out your personal information here in this forum to anyone.
    If you cannot follow the simple instructions above, I am unable to offer any other assistance.
    Good bye.

  • Can I create a standard print book in ibooks author?

    I need to create a workbook for teachers that will be printed and also made available as an ebook. Has anyone used i books author to export files for a print shop to use in creating a physical book?
    I spent a lot of time a decade ago using early versions of Pagemaker and Quark express to create print publications. I have thought about using indesign for this project but am so mac-centric that I figured my life would be simpler (and less expensive) using publishing software for mac users.
    Thanks,
    Rich

    iBA can export to .pdf, but it is definitely not intended to produce printed materials.  The app Pages is more appropriate, and even there you may find some problems relating to print shop requirements.  Most people would probably use InDesign or another app.  Best ask in the Pages forum

  • Is 256gb enough to use xcode, Microsoft office student, iBooks author and download the iOS sdk

    Please help as I'm not sure whether to get a macbook pro or air. I prefer the look of the air but I'm not sure if 256gb flash storage is enough for what I want to do. I would always surf the Internet and use Microsoft word, excel and PowerPoint but I would also like to try Xcode and iOS sdk. Thank you. However Im not willing to buy the air with 512 gb so if the 256 gb isn't enough then I'll go for the pro.
