Multiple Videos in an Encore Project

Hi there,
I am trying in the last week multiple ways of make a Dvd Project with multiple videos.
I already have made 2 menus with 6 chapters each the problem is having 12 videos there without having the error "Size Exceed".
I read several articles and posts about this problem, the best way i found was using this formula 520/minuter = bitrate.
The problem is setting the bitrate when converting the videos because in total they only have 240 minutes what is possible to put in a dvd i think.
i already convert them to Mpeg2 and become more large in the mb space.
If anyone know i apreciate the answer and possible solution.
Cheers.

Hi there,
I try to combine all them in one, i already have try this way the problem was i only was creating a single file and not one for audio and other for video.
So i create 5 chapters in one track, exporting in MPEGIIDVD (.m2v) and Dolby Audio (.ac3).. ty for the tip of using LPCM but with that the video size become too much large.
This way building the DVD in Encore only take some minutes since i already transcode them in Adobe Converter. I already try this export in a dvd and is great.
The only thing that sometimes crash is when i'm making the chapters in Encore.. Until now i export 5 videos and its ok i will try to export with 10 and then 12 which is my prediction for each DVD.
I'm very happy about your answers they really help me.. When i have my project 100%i will come here and post something
Ty for all your help guys..
Cheers.
Hiya Fabio.
If you are only getting a single file then you forgot a setting somewhere to export to elementary streams and not a program stream. It's there - trust me on this.
The reason I suggested exporting to LPCM is to allow you to import your separate video & audio files into Encore & let that handle the transcoding.
Until you get used to bit budgeting, using the automatic settings is the safest approach.
Good Luck.

Adding multiple video clips to a project?

This is my first use of imovie 11. I imported about 60 minutes of video from my camcorder. I now have about 100 video clips in the event library. I have no interest at all in editing any of the video clips. I simply want to take the hour of footage and make a dvd.
is there a way to move all the videos in the event library into the project window quickly? moving all 100 video clips individually seems very tedious, and I have many more hours of video to do.

As you have no intention of editing your Event try this;
For this you do not even need to create a Project. I tried this out as an experiment a couple of years ago with HDV footage and it worked.
Having got your footage into the Event you can now close iMovie.
From Finder->iMovie Events open up your required Event Folder. You should now see a folder called "iMovie Movie Cache" In this folder you should see a QuickTime Movie called "Cache- 25 .mov . This represents the footage that you have imported into your Event.
Now open up iDVD and drag this Cache-25.mov into iDVD to create your DVD.
I am not absolutely certain that you will see Cache-25.mov as this may depend on the source footage, (mine being HDV ) but you will be looking for Cache XX .mov or something very similar.
As this does not depend on creating a Project you save the time on Exporting /Share from the Project.
You may wish at a later stage to edit your events and of course for this you need to create the associated Projects where the editing is performed.This is not quite so daunting as you might think. The Ken Stone links that Klaus has included above are very good.(as iMovie 09 has many similarities to 11)
Hopefully this method will allow you to get your video onto DVD in a quicker way.

Export video clip from Premiere into an existing Encore project

New to encore.....love the software so far....but not much experience with it yet. Here is my question:
How do I go about exporting a video clip from premiere CS3 into an open/existing encore project. When I try to export to encore from the prem. timeline it makes a new proj. Sometimes I want to render out and export more than one asset into the same encore proj. but cant seem to figure out how to do that. any help would be great.
Thanks,
Eric

thanks J.....I have been doing it all along the way that you suggested. Just wondered if there might be a more efficient way to bring in multiple files. I appreciate your help with this....now at least I know that I am not doing things in a more difficult manner than necessary.
Thanks again!

How can I create multiple versions of a video within the same project?

OK...this is a probably a very basic question but I'm not sure how to word it clearly.
How can I create multiple versions of a video within the same project? What I mean is that I have a bout 50 minutes of video and I want to make two DVDs using different clips from this original 50 minutes of footage. It would be a real pain to have to re-import the video AGAIN for the second DVD. I suppose I could drop anything I don't want to burn to DVD back into the clips pane but that would wipe out all my transitions wouldn't it? I want to save each project in their “raw” form so I can burn additional DVDs later otherwise I would just do them one at a time and not care about one of them being destroyed.
Wow...that was a mess. Does anyone understand what the heck I’m asking? I hope so.

How can I create multiple versions of a video within the same project?
You can't. You make separate projects using the same or different clips, segments, transitions, titles, etc. You can even duplicate the first project and then modify/make the desired changes in the duplicated project. Each project can then be burned as a different DVD or as different titles on the same DVD if there is enough room.

How to import multiple videos to project at once?

Bonjour, first off, I love the iMovie iOS app, however, I feel it's missing a key feature. Is there a way for me to add multiple videos into a project at once without having to select them individually, and have the screen close, then having to re open it, and search for the other, and so on and so forth.
It would be so much easier if I could just select multiple videos from the import feature on my phone. The videos take a while as it is to load in the feature, my project is being created from oldest to newest, so I have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the list, wait for all the videos to load so I can, and then an only select one so I must repeat the process.
Any way around this yet?

Import all your videos into iPhoto's library.
Step 1: Plug your phone into your computer
Step 2: open iPhoto (or if you have an iPhone it should open automatically)
Step 3: click on you phone under "Devices"
Step 4: hold down the "Command" key while selecting ALL the videos you want to import
Step 5: Under "Event Name" give all your videos a general title (ie. Vacation)
Step 5: Import
Step 6: Open iMovie and look for the event name under Event Library
Hope this helps!

Is there any way to import multiple video files into a Logic Pro X project ?

Hi All,
Im working on score for a movie, I have multiple video clips that I need to make score for. Im wondering if there is a way to import all the video clips in to a single LPX project.
Thanks.
Ara

No, Logic allows only one video file per Project.
You have to edit them together in iMovie or Final Cut Pro first.
However, the common workflow in film scoring is one Project per cue, so if there are no overlapping music cues between the videos, it shouldn't be a problem
Hope that helps

Multiple (different) DVD outputs from a single Encore project

I have 5 DVD's to output. Each of them is based off the same menu template. (see attachment) What will be changing from one DVD to the next are the number of buttons and the "workshop" title. Is it possible or advisable to copy the menu that I have done already, modify it and output it as a new dvd all in the same encore project file? (Without altering the one I have completed already) I hope that made sense. Or do I need to have a new Encore project for each DVD?
TIA
Dean

I agree with the others, and it's basically the way that I have done multi-disc Projects.
I first set up a Project, and Import all Assets, that are common across all Projects, arranging them in appropriate Folders/Bins. Then, I Save that Project, to be used as a "template," for each disc in the set. I also make a Copy of that Project (complete), just in case I forget the next step. I Open my "template" Project, and do a Save_As, with the disc number in the new name. I Import all unique Assets, modify my Menus, and do any required linking. If OK, I then output. For the next disc, I Open that "template" Project, and repeat the process, incrementing the Project's file name to reflect the next disc, say_02, in lieu of the first one's _01. Repeat.
I've used this workflow for Projects that were up to 18 discs, with no problems.
Just plan your "template" Project out, so that you will only have to Import material, that is unique to that disc.
Good luck,
Hunt

Loop a video asset in Encore CS5

I need to be able to add over 100 short video assets to a project and have each video play continuously until the next button it hit on a remote which will advance to the next video in the list. Is this possible? I need each video to loop as it will play at an event and we don't know how long the video will need to play until we need to advance to the next section/video. Last time I had to do this I just repeated the video clip for a really long time so that we would be ensured that it would not advance to the next video, But I feel sure there is a better way to do this.

What you need is scripting, which Encore does not provide.
I would play with putting each video on its own timeline. Use multiple menus to branch. Use 4:3 menus even if the videos are 16:9, so you can get more buttons on a screen. You cou ld try making them black so they might not jar with the different aspect ratio of the videos. Use very short transitions and/or motion on the menus to make the menu appearance less disruptive. (Trade off with number of menus re the 1 gig limit for menus.)
For many of the videos, you are now 2 clicks away: click one "menu" (the menu option that will take you to the previous menu), then use the remotge control numbers to select the next track.
When submenu 1 is exhausted, you go back to main menu (title menu), and select submenu 2.
Yes, the operator must know what they are doing.

How do I use multiple librarys to organize my projects

Is there a way to use multiple libraries to organize my projects. I don't like having all my projects in one library. I'd like separate libraries for Family_Movies, BirthdaysandHolidays, Vacations, etc...
Thanks.

You can create multiple folders in your Project Library. I have a folder for each year. Then within the year, if I make several videos on one subject (say a trip to Europe) I will create sub folders within the year.
There is no limitation on what you name your Folders, so you could name them Family Movies, Vacations, Birthdays, etc.
When you are in the Project Library View, you can click FILE/NEW FOLDER. For a subfolder, click on the parent folder and then click New Folder.

In Imovie '11, how can I drag more than one set of video clips to my project?

In Imovie '11, how can I drag more than one set of video clips into my project. I know how to highlight in yellow and drag the set, but can I drag a group of sets? Thanks

To select multiple clips, hold down the command key as you click multiple clips. Then you can drag them all at once.
To drag all clips at once, select one, then Edit/Select All. Then drag them all.

Use multiple themes in the same project?

I'm making a slideshow in iMovie 09. It consists of approx. 200 pictures. Those 200 pics are then broken down into 5 distinct groups. I've applied the Scrapbook theme to the first 40 pictures. I tried to apply a different theme (Filmstrip) to the next 30 pictures. When I did that, however, it changed the theme for the original 40 pictures to Filmstrip as well.
Am I able to use multiple themes within the same project? I don't think its possible.
Is my solution to make the 5 sections of the slideshow in iMovie 09 using a different theme for each section? I'd export as a movie file and then create the final slideshow that would consist of the 5 movies previously made (each with a different theme).
Thanks in advance. This project is due in 3 weeks.
Martin

This is not possible in iMovie (to use multiple themes).
However, you can do this using your idea of joining multiple movies into one. You can do this with QuickTime Pro, or with MPEG Streamclip. [Here is a video Tutorial by venerable forum member Jon Walker|http://web.me.com/jrwalker4/QuickNotes/MPEGStreamclip/Entries/2008/5/25_Tutorial015.html] which shows the MPEG Streamclip option.

Playing multiple videos in sequence

Hello all. I'm a complete newbie to Flash development, but
have been thrown into it with not just a deadline, but a (to me)
"complex" project. I have a Flash project which currently opens and
plays a video as part of whats on "the stage". I now need to add 2
more videos which will play, in sequence, after the first one
finishes. I've gone through the tutorials, read the help files, and
now I'm just feeling a bit "DUH" because I still can't figure out
how to do this. Anybody out there care to help a poor ol' graphics
guy avoid the bitter wrath of his boss?

A single instance of FLVPlayback can handle multiple videos.
I can't remember what the upper limit is. So you can switch between
them based on user input. But I believe it can only ever play one
at any one time. I've used FLVPlayback quite a lot but not for what
you're describing, so can't answer from direct experience.
Check out this page, and the trivial example at the end
(whether its streaming or progressive is irrelevant here, streaming
should work just as well, but perhaps you need to use SMIL files
for the streaming contentPath?)

How do I copy and paste text style for multiple video tracks?

hello,
I am creating multiple video tracks with text. I want to easily copy and paste the style, i.e., Font, Color, Size - rather than having to scroll down the giant list of fonts to find the one I want, then change the color, then change the size - each and every time. This is arduous.
I tried copy / paste of one text onto a new video track, but when I type in a different word, it alters the original.
I have 9 tracks of video for 9 different texts that will pop in and out of my video. I would like to be able to copy/paste then just change the text. This would save me a huge amount of time.

paulrudophmusic
I know of no way to alphabetized the Adobe Styles that come with the program.
If you had the time and the inclination, you could rename them all to force them to appear alphabetically, but that does not seem all that practical.
But, if your interest is in the Styles that you save and you do not hit the Reset File List, the new Styles will be at the bottom of the list and you can name them so that they appear that alphabetically at the bottom of the whole Styles list. But that does not address the matter of you having to scroll to the bottom of the Styles list.
In some instances, some things that you think that you cannot do in Premiere Elements obvious features, can be done by computer keyboard shortcuts. I check the keyboard shortcuts under the Edit Menu/Keyboard Customization and unfortuately did not find any that would be applicable to this situation.
As for your changes in one text file popping up unwantedly in another text file, that is because you have text files with the same name. Look into creating duplicates (with different file names) in Project Assets at the onset.

Controlling multiple videos with one set of controls

I'm currently working on a project that allows the user to view multiple videos at one time. The videos will be exactly the same length and video format/type. I'd like to let the user use just one set of controls to view each video. Is this possible? If so, does anyone have any code samples?
I also want the video to not start when the application starts. I've got that done, but I'd also like the first panel of the video to be displayed. How can I do that?
Thanks!

PS, I'd also prefer for the controls to be detatched from any of the viewers, if possible. Thanks!

Encore project won't load

I have 2 encore projects - significant because they have about 22 video clips linked together with a dozen or so menus. One is a copy of the main project and neither of them will load for me.
I'm using CS5. Prior to today everytime I wanted to load this project it took ages to gather all the bits and finally put them into timelines and now it won't do it at all. I have a couple of clips that need to be changed before re-burning a final copy for duplication.
Please get back to me asap as I have a deadline of tomorrow to sort it.
Thanks,
Cheryl
