Movie menu missing

Adobe premiere elements 11. When publishing a movie to the computer there is no movie menu at the beginning. It goes straight into the movie

Welcome to the forum.
I agree with ATR on this matter.
However, we are seeing more and more requests for Menus and navigation in Exported/Shared files. It seems that some programs CAN add Menus and navigation in certain media files, played with certain media players, and most of those seem to be versions of MOV files for the Mac. If this is something that you need, and have a player that can take Menus and navigation, one of the Mac forums might be helpful in getting recs. for other programs, that CAN provide the Menus and navigation for you. I just do not know of any such programs, but others have commented that they can do that - just without useful recs. and only complaints that Premiere cannot do it.
On the PC side of the street, I do not recall any users jumping in with "I can do that with ____ " but that does not mean that there are NOT PC programs, that can accomplish the task. I also do not know of any PC player, that handles Menus and navigation, but that could just be my personal lack of knowledge.
Good luck, and if you do need those functions, and find programs that will provide it to you, please update this thread, as I know that I would like to learn something new.

Why is the movies category missing from the menu?

why, in the past 2 days, is the movies category missing from the menu of my appletv?

Mine did it yesterday.
My internet connection has been playing up for 2-3 days, with loss of connection even though router still indicates it's connected.. AppleTV is still on network but can't see the internet for movies when this happens.
Also check you have correct country set as some won't allow movie rentals.

Missing movie menu on apple tv

Hi :-)
I am missing the "movie" list on my apple tv after it comes back from standby.
The main menu only shows internet, computer, settings.... the movie menu is completly missing.
After resetting apple tv to default the movie menu is back, but all my settings are gone as well.
Anyone got an idea ?

I tried purchasing a movie tonight. It cut out within 2 mins into the film after buying it. I didnt think much of it because i knew we as canadians now have a "Purchased" column and i can recall it..... NOPE. It magically dissapeared and its back to frustration with purchases and trying to retrieve them. What a joke! I had all my friends over too specifically to watch a movie on apple tv. I figured i would just download it on my ipad or iphone and just stream it instead to apple tv.... again, no dice. Its like apple just flipped the switch off for itunes movies in the cloud... stupid stupid stupid!

Why did Apple remove the "All Movie" category from the purchased movies menu?

We have purchased over 200 moivies from itunes, and until the most recent software update we could always view all of our movies together on Apple TV. When you choose purchased movies the "All Movies" category is no longer available, it's been replaced by "Shared Movies" which would include movies purchased by your family members. Now the only way to play your purchased movies is to go to the different genres below, that is a problem because it's not easy to determine what genre the movies you want falls into....for example the Star Wars Movies series is divided in to two different categories, the same goes for all of our kids movies, they are in mutlipule categories which makes it hard to scroll throug multipule categories to find the movies you want. This seems like such a small thing, but really does make Apple TV much more complicated and frustrating to use. Please HELP Apple and bring the All Movies Category back! Thank you.

I don't use family sharing either, so I'm not sure of the implications. However, assuming this is something to do with family sharing (some doubt, I saw another thread where a poster had the menu missing and didn't use family sharing) it would appear that it is intentional for it to appear in one state but not in another, this tends to tell me it's received a good coat of thinking about.
I sincerely doubt there's much thought gone into a retrograde user interface and experience

Opening Movie Menu crashes PE11, why?

Another problem! A probably buggy one.   I'm trying to use Tools > Movie Menu to add Main Menu and Scenes menu but each time I open it, PE11 crashes.   It may be because what I'm trying to do isn't straightforward. Namely, I had put together from separately edited clips an entire 1½ hr movie, but because I made a mistake in the Main Menu I created, I'm trying to change it.
I imported the full video which I'd made with your help for the Blu-ray, and as soon as it got to the Timeline, all the existing Menus (main ones, I didn't create Scene menus) automatically appeared.   First I tried clearing all existing menus using the Markers tab (top left of the timeline) but when I tried Movie Menu, PE11 crashed.   So this time I left all the menus in place until I got to choosing a Menu Theme.
It's at this point that the crash occurs. The first time was during the process of downloading a theme I hadn't used before, but the second time I tried using an existing theme on my pc (Windows 7, 64-bit) and it still crashed.
I wonder if this is 1) because there are existing menus in the movie; 2) the "clip" (ie the whole movie) is simply too large? 3) Instead of importing the file as the completed m2t file, should I have worked on an original .prel file, ie the final one from my original editing before I converted it for Blu-ray?
If none of the above 3 points is correct, is there any way, eg via a log, of pinpointing the cause?
In the meantime I'll try the procedure using the original .prel file.
Thanks for help, suggestions, links to answers already in existence &c
all best

I realised that I didn't actually want to, or have to, change the entire Menu Theme, all I needed to do (which I've now done) is correct the faulty spacing, font size etc of my original.
But I'm worried that without viewing the whole movie again, I can't be sure (because of that "Where is" missing file) that it's actually all there. I'll just have to watch the whole thing again (getting rather fed up with it, to be honest by now, want to move on!)
I thought at one point it would be easier to go back to the original .prel files of each separate day and simply reassemble them into a new version of a (corrected) movie, but I'm stumped here again, because I'm being asked the same question, "Where is ..."
The point is that I've done more videos since then and although I *thought* I'd kept all the original .prel files AND links, I obviously can't have done.   But of course, as already said, I did clear my scratch disk.
I think I may just have to accept that I have a flawed movie, put it all down to experience and a learning curve, and get on with the next one, having learned several mistakes not to make again!
The flawed Menu works -- it's just that half the text in the case of two headings is way off the TV page!   I should have used the safety margins. One thing I've learned.

PS   I've searched my computer for those missing files.   They aint there no mo'!

My TV Shows Menu - Can I list by Genre as I can with the My Movies menu?

I have about 2600 tv episodes divided across about 119 shows, a good many are "kids and family". My 6 year old knows on the My Movies menu to only watch films under the "kids and family" genre, but this feature doesn't seem to be available via the "My TV Shows" menu. Am I missing something? Seems rather pointless putting in Genre into TV shows if one cannot actually use the feature to filter content, at least through aTV anyway.
Regards

no there is no feature to do this.
you could create a smart playlist for each genre and then view that playlist, however if you selected one from the playlist it would keep playing until it reached the end.

No more MOVIE menu in apple tv since new software update today! 12-12-2012

Hello, I did a new software update of my apple tv today and now the menu "MOVIE" is missing on the main page. I already rebooted the device but the problem still persists.
Do you have any feedback how I can fix this issue?? thank you

@Surfbroad you've probably done the following, but as @IpadinParadise has suggested, can you confirm that you're selecting the HDMI input on the TV that's Apple TV is connected to? Also, is the audio playing fine while the screen's black?
If you've made sure that the input setting you've selected on your TV matches the input you have your video cables connected to, then change the Apple TV resolution by pressing and holding the "Menu" and "Up" button for six seconds. The Apple TV will automatically cycle to the next resolution at approximately 20 second intervals. Pressing the "Select" button will immediately cycle to the next resolution. This should choose the appropriate/compatible resolution for your TV automatically.
If the above doesn't work, and if your Apple TV is 1st generation, try component cables instead (and disconnect the HDMI cable temporarily).

Unable to navigate past movie menu on Apple TV 1st Gen

I purchased a movie in iTunes that includes iTunes Extras. It will play fine on my desktop. When I try to play it on my Apple TV, it brings up the movie menu, just as though it was a DVD or Blu-ray. I can highlight different menu options, like "Play Movie", "Scene Selection", etc. However, I can't select any of the options. iTunes allowed me to re-download the movie in case that was the problem, but it isn't fixed. Their suggestion is that it's the Apple TV itself. All the software on the desktop and Apple TV is current. The Apple TV has been restarted. No other movies in my iTunes library have this problem. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help!

It would not surprise me in the slightest if they're using some feature that AppleTV1 will not support.
Some movies get listed with Extras as playable on computer or on AppleTV1, others only on computer.

Bad quality movie menu in Premiere Elements 12

Hi everybody,
I have a serious problem... when I create a movie menu and then I click on preview, its quality is really bad, images and text as well! I tried to burn the DVD to see if it was just a preview problem but it's still the same. I've also installed the software on another PC but nothing changed. How can I solve it?
Please help me! Thank you very much in advance!

Go back to the Timeline content...
a. Make sure that none of the Timeline markers are too close to one another. If you have a stop marker at the end of
the last item on the Timeline, remove it. It is not needed and causes burn to issues.
Go back to the Movie Menu customization area and inspect the buttons on the main menu and scene menu pages.
a. Make sure that area of one button is not overlapping with the area of another. If overlapping of buttons exists, you
will see red frames around the buttons involved.
Go back to the Timeline content again...this time
a. press the End Key of the computer main keyboard....does the Timeline Indicator move to the end of the last item
on the Timeline or beyond? If it goes beyond, expand the Timeline with the zoom in and zoom out slider, and inspect
for leftover fragments or clips, and delete them.
To double check what is might be going on....
a. burn to disc without the disc menu
b. do a burn to folder rather than a burn to disc
Also, in the Expert workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks and the Disc Encoding category. What is shown for the Disc Encoding save location and how much free hard drive space is at that location?
Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
Thank you.

My apple tv is frozen on the movie menu

No matter what I do, the apple tv is frozen on this screen. I have tried resetting, unplugging it and restarting PC and wireless router

I am having the same issue, although my Apple TV screen saver comes on and when I try to use the remote, the light flashes yellow, not white. When I reboot it, it boots back to the same spot, which is the main menu, but "Yop Movies" under the Movies menu is highlighted.
Any advice?

HT3823 The movie menu for iTunes extra won't play the extra videos.

I dl'ed a movie with iTunes extra videos. The base movie menu has a selection for EXTRAS and when I click on that, the screen goes to another background image complete with titles for the extra videos. When I mouse over the titles, they change color, but when I click on them, nothing happens. This is true of those that are pointing to videos. The one that points to a photo gallery does work and all the features on that page work as expected. So I am assuming that there is something amiss in the set up. Either the dl of the extra videos (which, according to iTunes did complete successfully) got disassociated with the main program, or the controlling page code (which is not accessable to the user) is not functioning as it was planned. Either way, is there any workaround that will give me proper operation of all the features I paid for?

Hey there storytellerstudios,
I see that you are having an issue with some purchased movie extras from iTunes on your Apple TV. I would like to suggest that you use the following link to help you report an issue with these purchases to iTunes:

File GEDV0020.MOV is missing

I have imported some clips from my GE DVX HD camera into iPhoto but when I import them into iMovie I get the message that the file GEDV0020.MOV is missing and the movie won't lay correctly without it. I can either cancel the import or search for the file but either choice freezes the iMovie program and the computer and I have to do a force shutdown to get the computer working properly. When I import the clips directly from the camera to iMovie everything seems to work fine.

The rootpre.sh script cannot find the pw-syscall file in the current directory.
pw-syscall is the post-wait extension for AIX.
You have to run the rootpre.sh in the current directory.
First try this:
cp -r /cdrom/rootpre /tmp/rootpre
cd /tmp/rootpre
./rootpre.sh
If this does not work check your packages in AIX.
As last resort, use patch 2896876
From metalink note 309331.1
Hope this helps.

Front Row freezing in the movies menu

Hi, I got my new Macbook last week, last weekend I ran all the updates, including FR, and everything seemed to work fine. Last night trying was the first time I went into the "Shared" video folder in the FR menu, and after that while trying to exit FR froze up. It keeps doing the same thing, and it only happens in the Movies menu. Sometimes I'm able to exit after 20-30 seconds, sometimes I have to shut down the computer.
Is there any way to reset/reinstall FR just to get rid of the problem? Thanks!
I'm an ex-windows user, new to Mac, still trying to get used to it

i have the same problem on my new notebook (a mac book pro intel). I observed that it freezes everytime i'm not connected to the Web and i haven't turned off airport...
is it possible front row tries to download some information by internet, it doesn't recognize connection is not active and given that mac is not connected the research freeze the application ('till a timeout message is sent back..after looong time...)?
everytime the solution for me it was to wait long time (really long) or to turn off computer...

I have downloaded a movie which I brought from itunes. It appears in my ipod class movie menu but it won't playic

I have downloaded a movie which I brought from itunes. It appears in my ipod classic movie menu but it won't play. I try to update and or restore my ipod but I just keep getting a message saying that I need to connect to the internet which I am and am contected to the itunes store. I try to use the itunes self help support thing but keep getting the message that my ipod serial number is incorrect when it is the serial number which is on my ipod. Any ideas?

Hey mlf141,
I see that you have rented a movie on your iOS device and now would like to watch it on your computer. I have an article with information for you dealing with this scenario, and it can be found below:
About renting movies from the iTunes Store - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-is/HT201611
If you rented the movie on your computer, but want to watch it on an iOS device, connect the devices and sync using USB. When you move a rented movie from your computer, it will disappear from your computer’s iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as often as you want, but you can only have it on one device at a time.
If you rented the movie on your iOS device or Apple TV, you can’t move it to any other device.

Bought a movie but all it plays is the main movie menu, I can't get the actual movie to play.

I bought Scary Movie 5 the other day and it downloaded fine, it runs but it will only take me to the main movie menu where it gives me the options to play, select chapters or go to the bonus features. When you click play nothing happens. Seriously frustrated with this. Any one else have this issue?
I'm trying to watch it on my windows computer on itunes.

Hello mecha_girl,
Sorry to hear that Scream 5 is not playing after purchasing it from iTunes.
If the movie has completely downloaded, I recommend deleting the video and downloading the show again from your list of purchases. You can find the steps to do this under the section titled "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on a computer" in the following article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
If you are still not able to play the movie, you can report an issue with this purchase using the steps in this article:
