Music Videos: Non stop playback... how?

Hello.
I have some music videos in mp4 format.
How can i make my atv play them one after the other , like the music files, without manually pressing play each time a video ends?

Annoyingly you can't - many have requested this but it can't be done currently, and there are no known workarounds (eg playlists).

Music video keeps stopping on ipod touch

I recently purchased the 'Out of the Game' music video for my 2nd generation ipod touch. It's the first music video I've purchased. I went to play it last night and it kept stopping at 17 seconds every time! The bar up top would continue to move, increasing the video time but there would be no music and the picture was frozen! Has this ever happened to anyone else? What can I do to fix it? Thanks

- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- If you are in a country that allow redownloading, delete hte video and redownload it by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod

Music Video Download Stopped - Error 54?

Hey everybody!
I was just downloading a music album the other day when all of the sudden several music videos (yes, several, you already know which album I downloaded, right?) stopped downloading after a few kilobytes/megabytes. The rest of the album, including most of the videos, went through without a problem.
I keep getting the following message when hitting "check for available downloads": "There was a problem downloading XY. An unknown error occured (-54). Please check that the network connection is active and try again."
Now my network connection is more than active. I also tried to flush the download cache (itunes -> Downloads) but there is nothing in it. So I wonder where the files might be cached since each of the videos that won't download has already been downloaded partially. Is there any way to reset the download?
What do?

Howdy,
Sounds like your hard drive or partition is full!
Thanks
Tim

Apple TV music streaming non stop

Apple TV - music would stop after 2-3 songs then quit.
The photos would still display on screen saver but the songs wouldn't.
I believe the update may have reset the security settings in
System Preferences>
Security>
General>
to "Log out after 15 minutes of inactivity"
Deselect this and it should stream non-stop music.
Current settings:
Computer Sleep - Never
Display Sleep - 3 hours
not selected
Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible
Allow power button to put the computer to sleep
Start up automatically after a power failure
(I am going to select *Put the hard disk to sleep etc., and test Apple TV)
Selected:
*Wake for network access
*Automatically reduce brightness before display goes to sleep
Also under System Preferences:
Selected: Require password 4 hours after sllep or screen saver begins
(I am going to deselect this and test Apple TV)
So I hope this helps anyone having problems with music stopping and then you have to log-in
and set up home sharing again.

Hi -
That did not appear to be the problem, although I think I am closer to figuring this out. When I am having this problem, and when I turn on the tv and select thereceiver input for the apple tv and then select apple tv in itunes, the music will come out of the speakers. Then when I turn off the tv and switch the digital in from the apple tv it works, even with the new update. But, I dont want to have to turn on my tv to play my music thru my speakers! Once again, if i restore the apple tv, then the apple tv plays music to my receiver via the digital cable without me having to do anything but turn on the receiver and select the proper input.
Any more thoughts? Thanks for your help.
Cheers

Music Video does not playback it looks like a white negative!!

Please please help...I have downloaded itunes7 and now I cant watch any of my new or old music video's...the music plays but the video looks like a white negative...you can make out the faint outline of people and things moving but nothing else??????????????
Windows XP

I read a solution somewhere that worked for this music video problem, that was before i gave up on my music skipping and reverted back to i-Tunes 6 (so music no longer scratching but videos not working without delay/skipping.)
Anyway the solution was, Quit i-Tunes, select start menu -> control panels -> quick time. Click on advanced tab, uncheck box next to enable direct 3D video acceleraion and then open i-Tunes
Hope that helps you

After the last iTunes update, I lost EVERYTHING in my iTunes library (music, videos and podcasts). How do I get them back?

iTunes was just updated on my Windows 7 and now I lost EVERYTHING in my music library. All of my music that I added and purchased, all my videos (TV shows) and all of my podcasts (some of them are older podcasts that I was saving to listen to for later and I can't ever get them back because I don't subscribe to them now). How do I get all my files back? I'm so upset! I had a similar issue a earlier this year with an iTunes update. I wish I can keep everything the way it is without ever having to update the program. I either lose ALL my files or the program doesn't work right.
Please help me.
Thanks,
Jenny

XI-FI Music video and audio playback stutter

For some reason my audio and video refuses to play back smoothly. I've checked my audio settings and hardware is at maximum; stereo is set to headphones (don't use speakers) and the obvious is all in place. THX and set up play audio fluently but it's only a small audio clip of the female voiceover.
I re-formated the hard dri've yesterday and re-installed all Creative software. I've updated the Nividia nforce2 audio drivers from the web today and installed the Creative driver update from the internet earlier and the problem still occurs.
There doesn't appear to be any conflict with my settings and BIOS settings are fine. I didn't download any third party or untested drivers and the settings are only optimised for headphone use.
Any help will be much appreciated as I am at a loss of how this occured. It only happend two months ago which is even more bizarre. I was hoping to get a Gainwood AGP graphics card for my system and upgrade my RAM to 2gig but it looks pointless without my audio play back!
Thanks.

The limit is in regards to how long the battery will last.
Also, what's standby time?

Update 12.1.1.4 erased all my files (music, videos, playlists, everything). How do I revert to earlier version to get that back?

I opened iTunes tonight to import a CD and it asked me to update. Sure, fine, go ahead. Computer restarts after update and EVERYTHING is gone. I had 20+ videos, over 3k songs, all sorted into playlists, podcasts... it's all gone. How do I get that back? Can I uninstall the update and go back to the earlier version of iTunes? And when I plug in my iPad to sync, will it wipe everything off of there, as well??? I'm a fitness instructor, I have over a year's worth of playlists and routines that are now gone.

You're welcome . Note, though, that iTunes doesn't really keep "backup files" - it does replicate the library database (iTunes Library.itl) during the installation of an update if (and only if) that update makes a change to the database structure. The most recent of these was the transition from iTunes 11.4 to iTunes 12.0. On the basis that:
Computers tend to fail at the least convenient moment
Hard drives fail. Always. You just don't know when its going to happen
There is no process that can be 100% guaranteed not to mess with your data
creating and maintaining a backup of your iTunes library is just about essential. See tt2's notes on Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy for details of a suitable method. If you make frequent additions or changes to your library you should refresh the backup every couple of days - at a minimum I'd suggest once a week - and always make sure that the backup is up to date before installing a new version of iTunes. I actually use two backup strategies - one that runs automatically at 3am every Sunday morning, plus as-needed updates to a second external drive that I use to refresh two other systems that I run iTunes on.

Why watch one Music Video and then Stop (and the next one? no fun)

I would like to know if Aple TV let "Music Videos" play without stop.
I would like to see all my Music Videos without stop,... but with "Aple Tv" i can see only one, and then if i want to see an other one, i have to do it by my self. I thought ok, maybe i have to have a "Playlist" with all my "Music-Videos" and then i could see all of them... but it didn´t work either.
Since i discovered that i cannot do that, i stop buying "Music-Videos"
Can anyone help me pls and tell me how to do it?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
As Chenks says and you have discovered, continuous play of music (or for that matter any) video, is not currently supported.
You may want to check future updates to see if this feature gets included, but nobody here knows whether this will happen or not. There is the possibility that the lack of this feature is intended and is omitted to protect the unit from being left playing continuous video 24/7, but who knows.

How do I find out which computer I sync music, videos and photos on?

I am about to update my iPhone to iOS 4.2 but it tells me that to preserve my media, I should apply this update on "the computer where you sync music, videos and photos". How do I find out what that computer is?

You should be regularly backing up then you can just move your library to a new computer and sync there.
If you don't have one then you will have to transfer purchases (grab a 3rd party program for non-purchased content) and then sync to the new computer

Music Video Editing 101

I posted this a few years back - before it rolled off the end of the discussions, I moved it to Dave Slater's ProAppTips.com which is currently in limbo due to hacker problems, but he retrieved the text for me and I thought it might be handy to post now. I should update it for using MultiClips, but they can be problematic, depending on how the video was shot and the timing/overlap of the coverage available (see: MultiCam and Music Videos). For now, I'll just post it as it was originally written.
_*Music video editing 101*_
Although I've cut probably over 250 music videos, this is only how I work. What works for you may be entirely different and more productive for you. I am not here to champion these techniques and I invite anyone else to post how they do it.
Okay down to business. Digitizing material: I capture all the available material, preferably in 20-30 minute chunks. Among other things, the large chunks can come in handy if there is a discrepancy between the timecode on the offline tapes and the master tapes. I watch the material as it comes in and note anything of interest (cool shots, etc). After capture, I go thru and put markers at the start of each take and scene. I'll go into the philosophy of logging/overlogging later.
Now, music videos can most often be divided into two sections - performance and concept (or story). The first thing to tackle is the performance. Not only is this locked to the areas of the song being performed (barring cheating choruses or other repeating stuff), but it helps you to know where you want to put the story (which is where your performance coverage is the weakest).
How I cut performance is this. First, I try to pick a good overall base take of performance - this is often a wider shot that covers the whole band. I usually have chosen this take while watching the material as I capture. I put the master audio in the sequence and cut this video take onto V1. This is because I find it easier to cut into something rather than cut a shot into black. Now I go back and start at the first take and hopefully there was a smart slate used, but however I do it, I get the take lined up so that the frame in the viewer is at the same point in the song as the frame in the canvas, then set gang sync (I have a this mapped to a keypress).
I then play what I have in the viewer until I see something I like. Now, because I've ganged the edit with this take, it's been following along, so I can quickly pop over to see what is at that point in my edit and see if what I just saw in the take looks better. If it does, I cut it in, If not, I can ignore it, or cut it onto V2/V3/V4, etc and set its visibility off (ctrl-b). Why would I do that? Maybe later I need to change the shot because the singer doesn't like himself from that side, or I need more shots of the drummer, or I've changed the edit and the shot doesn't work anymore, or maybe I'll be able to cheat it in at another point of the song. The point is, I'm going thru the material now and I might as well save anything I like so I won't have to look for it later. Tossing it onto a higher video track keeps it in sync with where it should fall in the song.
Now go I back and keep playing the take and when I see the next thing I like, repeat the process. I continue this until I've finished the take. Then I repeat this for all takes. It's time consuming, but I've found it to be the only way to ensure you've given due consideration to all the material and you can say you have the strongest performance in your edit. And your goal is to make a performance cut so tight that it will be painful to give up areas of it to concept. I also keep a bin/sequence of non-sync cutaways - maybe a drum hit, maybe a look from the lead singer, maybe a bass riff. These are important to your cut, but you can treat them like concept - i.e. you can put them anywhere you need to.
When you've finished your performance cut, duplicate your sequence (You might also have done this during stages of your performance cut, just to keep backups). The reason you want to now is to always have a pure performance cut to go back to.
Now consider the concept. Sometimes it warrants cutting it all together as a story complete, other times it will only function as cutaways or it illustrates specific lines in the song, etc. However you get the concept organized, the performance cut will provide a roadmap as to where to place the concept. Sometimes it's blatantly obvious (like you have no performance for a certain area), other times (if you've done a good job on the performance cut) it will be a struggle to find where to put it. I always keep my performance on its own layer/s and add a new layer for the concept. This is to allow ease of re-arranging the story. If you have it on its own layer, you won't need to replace the missing performance if you shift the concept around, you'll just reveal the existing (wonderfully tight) performance below.
I could go on and on about this, but those are the basics. As to timing, I usually allow myself 2 days for capture and performance cut. Third day is concept. Fourth day massaging the overall edit. Send off that night for comments. Fifth day is changes from artist/label/management. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Finally a bit about logging of footage. When I first started editing, it was on a linear, tape-based system. So I had a wall of thermal printouts to guide me to my selects and whenever I needed a specific shot, it usually involved a lot of shuttling thru tape. An inevitable beneficial fallout of this work flow is that I'd often find a better shot than the one I was searching for, simply because I had to shuttle to find my intended shot.
This fostering of happy accidents was lost when I started editing non-linear. Because I could instantly go where ever I wanted, I only ever found what I wanted and lost a certain spontaneity to my edits. They became more predictable. It took me a little while to realize this and to come up with some solutions.
First of all, I don't overlog footage. None of this clips named "The one where Jack finds the beans and discovers the true meaning of friendship in wide shot with the cow OOF over his right shoulder (sky has clouds)". I make it so I always know where to find my shot, but not so I can just get there without shuttling a bit. Also, I try to keep a sequence of selects. Shots that I like, but haven't found a use for yet. Thats where I always go to find a shot I need - that way, shuttling thru the sequence, I am exposed to shots that I know are good and may be better than the shot I think I am looking for.
Anyone else want to post their work flow?
Patrick

Great workflow Patrick. The one main thing missing that I use in music video editing is the grouping of multiclips to group all of your performance takes into one clip. For those that haven't used this then you have access to all performance takes at any given point in the song. This is handy as you might have 50 to 100 takes on some videos. The thing that makes a grouping of multiclips easy is the use of a timecode slate and an audio master (though aux code grouping can be done without it). You then assign an auxiliary timecode to each take and group your mulitclip by that. In avid land I subclip a masterclip by takes. Unfortunately Apple has done a really dumb thing in FCP. When you make subclips from a master clip and assign auxiliary timecode it will ripple the aux code of other subs from the master clip. Completely useless for music video. The solution is to capture each take in its own master clip but that is a long and tedious log that for me is totally not needed for a music video. I wish Apple would address this (it as been discussed in this thread) but it has been unchanged since the introduction of multiclips. That's why I always cut my music videos in Avid.
