IBook Author of the video size

I would like to know what's best way to set up iBook Author of the video size and format file for all ipad devices including ipad air.
I already knew about this part:
   •    To create up to a 420p movie: Select “iPod touch & iPhone 3GS.”
   •    To create up to a 720p movie: Select “iPad, iPhone 4 & Apple TV.”
   •    The numbers refer to the number of vertical lines. For the best quality, select the 720p (iPad) option
I wonder if I can set up the aspect ratios like 4:3 frame (small video of box with story) in iBook Author for ipad air to be able to see this on full screen from iBook shelf. I have ipad and ipad mini but I don't have ipad air. I wonder if it will have good quality video like 4:3 ratio for ipad air screen with Retina display? Since Apple support didn't provide enough details how the overall video would look like on screen without stretching or using proper proportions.
Thanks,
Alfredo

If you create a 1024x768 video, you will be making the fullest possible use of screen real estate on a non-retina iPad (no letter boxing or pillars needed). Double that to 2048x1536 for retina.
Having said that, I should point out that the dynamic duo of iOS and the iPad;s video firmware provide some of the best scaling routines I have seen. So 1024x768 video on a retina iPad will look just fine. With moving pictures, high resolution doesn't return as much benefit as it does with static images.
It would be interesting to see what the video optimizer in iBooks Author does with 2048x1536 video. To find out, we'll need to use iBooks Author to create project file that includes a 2048x1537 video and then export as *ibooks and deconstruct that *.ibooks file.

IBooks Author changed placed video size on it's own. Anyone else have this happen?

I'm creating a rather large ebook with iBooks Author (2.1.1) on Mac OS 10.9.2 (mavericks) . Currently over 350 pages typset. Was final proofing and ran into a font conflict over the weekend (Palatino was substituting), which miraculously resolved itself when I ran typical Mac diagnostics (so maybe a font got corrupted or something). So I was celebrating my victory when I noticed that randomly, a number of placed videos had changed size
I noticed because I purposefully set all video preview images at 285x214. I've found at least six that changed to 200 x 150 (which possibly is the default when you create a new video).
I just find it curious that this would happen for the first time, after I've been working on this book since last November (so about 6 months)
I did upgrade to Mavericks April 15th. But I was working on the book last Saturday and these issues did not show up. Took Sunday off. Then mid-day Monday, I started noticing the font issue. Then this morning noticed the resized videos.
This is what it changed it to:
This is how i originally designed it:
Of course, the change in size made the text reflow throughout the chapter. So now I'm going back page by page from the beginning to see if this annomoly only happened in this chapter or throughout the book. It didn't affect every placed video — only some.

Is there a way for you to disable the firewall and your anti-virus software? That should help.

Does anyone know how to add a preface page at the beginning of the book in ibooks author once the book is written? No matter how I try to add a Preface page, it goes to the end of the book.

Thanks. I've tried this and apparently the template I'm using is one of those where it doesn't work. I've tried dragging it as well as cutting a pasting but it always travels back to the end of the book. Maybe I can try changing the template temporarily, move the preface page, and then convert back to the original template. I'll experiment a little.

I created a book in iBooks Author using the Photo Book template. When I rotate to portrait orientation, the photo or widget disappears and a table of contents appears with only the interactive media showing.

Thanx for the prompt response, KT. I have indeed seen that thread, only just after I posted the question.
I have spent hours on the phone with what I now know is a call center in Texas on this question.
I think Apple could be a little more "hands on" with iBooks Author users, and it should also be pointed out that landscape photos will not display in portrait mode.
In my case, I used gallery widgets to display vertical photos, since they look better in portrait mode.
But instead of simply rotating, the page disappears and a TOC of interactive media appears. The gallery behaves as expected when tapped. This is not what I expected, but since the gallery works, I can live with it.
Right now I have "tickets" telling me to "fix" this "problem or to disable portrait mode.
I don't want to disable portrait mode.
Will Apple accept the books if I tell them this is not an "error?"

How do you increase the video size with a button?

I'm trying to set up a demo for a meeting. I want to show how
you can increase the size of the video.
Example:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1532523169750528353
There are two buttons in the bottom right corner of the
player that will increase the video size.

I havn't tried this but I would thinkg that this could work:
If you have a video object on your stage (the object that the video
actually plays in) you could probably make a button that simply
changes the dimensions of it such as:
setProperty("theVideoPlayer",_height, 240);
setProperty("theVideoPlayer",_width, 320);
The movie should adjust to fit the screen, however if you
make the movie larger than or a different aspect ratio than the
original, it will be blurred or distorted respectively. Make your
original movie, therefore, at the largest size you want it to be
seen. Keep the aspect ration the same always.

Can I sell books made with iBooks Author in the UK iTunes store?

Hi all,
I'm a UK-based musician who publishes a range of tuition books on playing the bass guitar. I've spent the last few months devleoping one of these books in iBooks Author, and the end results are really impressive. I submitted the book to the iTunes store last week (after setting up a US Tax ID etc) and it was approved in the US store yesterday. Here's a link to the relevant page:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/bass-players-guide-to-scales/id534940432?mt=13
My question is, is there any way I can make this book available to customers in all countries? I filled in all the info/pricing etc for all countries when I uploaded the book, but it's only approved for sale in the United States so far. Is there just a delay in the other stores being approved or can it only be the US for textbooks? I notice that the UK iTunes store does not have a textbooks category. Am getting worried now that I shouldn't have put it in the Textbooks category, although I don't remember being able to choose another option.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Cheers
Stuart

It is possible to publish books created in iBooks Author outside of the US. They will just not be able to appear in the Textbooks category as it's currently a US only category.
I can see in the UK store that you've got two editions of the same book for sale. One has screen grabs and is clearly filled with iBA features for £9.99 and the other at £6.49 with no preview images which I assume is in standard ePub format - both are in the Arts & Entertainment -> Music category.
Congrats!

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 to download english version iBooks Author from the Belgian store?

I have downloaded Ibooks Author from the Belgian store and after looking up on prefferences I see that there are no language options. The version I downloaded seemed to have only French language funcionalities. I appreciate it if someone can help me out on this.

Apple apps are supposed to take the language of your OS. If you want it differently, try this app

When I publish from ibooks author will the pages flip like my other books

When I publish from ibooks author will the pages flip like my other books the preview only slides side to side

Pages continue to slide rather than flip for the horizontal orientation. In the vertical orientation, the text scrolls up-and-down like a web page (again as shown in iBooks Author if you change the previewed orientation). I'm not sure why Apple went with the different GUI for their textbooks, but its the same for the ones authored by the big publishers. If you want to see what the format is like on the iPad, there's a short free textbook (Wilson's Life on Earth) and sample chapters from others available from the iBookstore.
On a side note, one interesting thing about using texts in the two different orientations is that the formating changes as well. Figures that show up as larger embedded images in the horizontal layout are smaller images in the left margin in the vertical layout, at least in Wilson's book.

Is there a way to share a book created with iBooks Author in the course manager without having to share it in iBooks Author?

We have a book that we created, but did not share it on the store, but would like students to be able to download the book in the course manager.

Yes, definately. In iBooks Author go to File > Export and create an iBooks file (it will have .ibooks file extension). You can upload it to iTunes U Course Manager and therefore only make it available to your students.

Do the Templates and Themes for iBooks Author include the flip page animation?

Well, this question is concern about something similar asked by romondodavis on 28-mar-2012 (https://discussions.apple.com/message/17981772#17981772) and also answered by K T.
So my question refers to know if when buying the Templates and Themes for iBooks Author the curl/turn/flip animation is included with them or should I have to buy necessary Pages so I can generate those industry standard e-pubs as K T suggests in order to get the turn page animation enabled by default?
Thanks in advance
Alex

Can I get the Apple IBook Author on the New IPad

Will the ibook author be available for the new iPad? I've got a MacBook but its easier to use the iPad because of a disability.
I use an ibook creator on the iPad at the moment, but I would much prefer to use the Apple Ibook creator.
I haven't actually published anything yet and I'm thinking that it would be better to use the ibook author, so I can submit it straight to the ibook store.
Also, does anyone know if there are any proofreading and editing tools that I could use, as it is very expensive getting someone to do it for me. I had a quote of around £850 for a 100,000 word book!
Thank you. Any help will be most appreciated :)

Have you tried Book Creator for iPad? You can create an ePub file which is already standards-compliant for Apple's iBookstore, so you can publish it without too much hassle.

What does the video size or resolution have to be when converting videos?

I have a program to convert videos, but whenever i put them on my ipod they're not in widescreen format. The image is streched out and too big. What size do i need to convert the video to for it to be the right size?
