Need to change "Video Kind"

Hi everyone,
after installed iTunes 7, there are 2 music video left in the Movie library.
I have tried to change in the "get info" menu the "video kind" but it is disabled.
Is there a way to move them in the "Music Video" playlist?
I have bought them on the iTunes Store.
Thanks in advance to everyone.

Thanks for your reply!
The file was downloaded with iTunes 7, i've just bought a Macbook a few weeks ago and i'm playing around with some of the features!
I've double checked the info on the music video and it is tagged as a music video but it still won't play in Front Row, it says I have no videos in my iTunes library!
My video podcast that I got from iTunes Store is tagged as movie and also won't play in front row but i'm unable to change that either!!
It seems strange that the iTunes Store didn't tag the
files correctly - were these files downloaded before
iTunes 7?
Not sure how it will work with iTunes purchased
files, but I use a program call Lostify (Google for
it) to tag my ripped DVDs. You could give that a
try. You'll need to find the file in the iTunes
library and I'd take a back up first!

  • ITunes cannot change video kind for multiple files

    i put many video files to library, and then i want to change each video kind into music video, but unfortunately i can't find an easy to change those files at once.
    i have to change them one by one.
    my question is: is it possible to change "video kind" of many files at itunes library at once? how?
    thx

    No, it's not possible to batch-edit the fields on the Video tab. This seems like an outright oversight and will probably be corrected in a future version soon. What's worse, after you take the time to change the Video settings on your files one at a time, iTunes won't bother saving all the changes in the file itself. The Video Kind setting will change to the default "Movie" when the file is removed and added back to the library. For instance, all the "TV Show" files you back up to disk become "Movie" when added back to the library later. You have to edit the Video tab one by one again! It's maddening.

  • Changing "Video Kind" to TV Show?

    So after manually changing each of my 450+ music video files to "Music Video" under "Video Kind:" (why on earth can't this come up under Edit Multiple Item Info?), my next project is to add my TV shows to iTunes.
    However, I cannot find a way to change the video type to "TV Show". The options are only "Movie" and "Music Video", neither of which will make a video file appear when TV Shows is selected in the Video playlist.
    Is there a way to do this?

    It is bad that you do not have TV Shows as a selection for the Video Kind for imported videos (not bought from iTunes). Something similar is probably causing an audio book that I got from somewhere besides iTunes to show up under Music in the search bar and not under Audiobooks.
    The only work around I have been using when using the browser mode in videos is to make sure that I select show Genre when browsing and make my own video Genres (into more like Video Kinds) and leave videos "clicked" on All and then just select TV Show or Movie or whatever from the Genre if I want to narrow down my selection.
    It helps but as I add more things to iTunes I would rather use Genre to further narrow down the selection I made in the search bar like click on "TV Shows" in search bar then comedy in genre or click on "All" in search bar and then comedy under genre to show all comedies regardless of being a movie, music video, podcast, or TV show. If all of my library had been purchased through iTunes it would work, but until Apple gives non-iTunes store videos all the selections under Video Kind (get info then under options) that are used in the search bar it is limiting.

  • Changing video kind for multiple videos

    How do u change the video kind for multiple videos? I have more than 200 tv show episodes in my itunes and it would take forever to change them to movies one by one. Please help:)

    Make sure you have the latest version of itunes software (itunes 6.0.4)
    can download here:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
    Easiest way to do this would be to have all 200+ shows in one playlist. Click on one show in the list, then go to edit and click on "select all."
    From the Advanced menu, choose Convert Selection for iPod. While converting, you will notice an item named "Converting Songs..." appear in the iTunes Source list. The "Converting Songs..." item disappears after the conversion is over.
    For a complete walkthrough, refer to the kbase article "Verifying iTunes video conversion and iPod video syncing using sample QuickTime files":

  • Changing Video Kind

    I've been taking some of my DVDs and converting them to mp4 to use on my ipod. For the most part I have not had any problems. I add it to Itunes and then change the info by going to the Video tab and changing the Video Kind to Tv Show and adding info so it's organized, etc. Lately though, I have been trying to add a couple of videos and I can change all of the other info, but when I change it from Movie to Tv Show, Itunes freezes up on me and stays that way. I have to close it and sometimes it even deletes my file.
    I've disconnected my ipod, upgraded Itunes, etc..Is this a bug in Itunes videos? Why would changing the video kind lock up itunes??

    Nevermind..I was able to get it to change by changing it to Tv Show, clicking to the info tab and clicking Ok there instead.

  • HELP ! Need to change video size in project sequence...

    When creating a project last month I accidently created it as 1280x960 in the sequence settings, but meant to create it as a 1920x1080 which is what all the video clips are in size. Now I have this nicely edited project but need to convert it to a 1920x1080 in the sequence settings so I can export it as that size. When I go into the sequence settings now this option is grayed out and it won't let me. I have read many forums and they say it’s as simple as creating a new sequence with the right settings and importing the old sequence but when I do this it is still as 1280x960. So my question is other than re-editing this entire project, how can I take this current project with sequence settings as 1280x960 and change the video size to 1920x1080 (Which is what the video clips are originally and when I right click on the individual videos it says 1920x1080). PLEASE help, I am using PP CS5 !!! This is so frustrating !

    Create a new Sequence with the settings you prefer,
    then Copy > Paste the clips into the new Sequence.
    Be sure that your Sequence settings match your footage by doing this:
    Or, right-click a media file and select 'New Sequence From Clip".
    How do I choose the right sequence settings?

    note:
    You may need to re-create audio effects that you applied in the Mixer
    in the first Sequence, or you can use your first Sequence as a mixed,
    nested audio track for the new properly configured Sequence.

  • My 2011 MacBook Pro does not start and stop after the apple appear, they said that the problem is a video problem and need to change the logic board. Cost almost same to buy a new one. Somebody have the same problem?

    I have a MacBook Pro early 2011. Does not start. After the apple show, a blank screen appear. The service said that the problem is with the video plaquue in the logic board. Need to change. Cost lmmost the same than a new MacBook Pro. Somebody has the same problem? What we can do?

    I hate to break this to you, but life isn't fair. If your job is that critically in need of a computer, then you should have a spare to use for just this kind of situation or have your employer provide you with a computer to use.
    Computers break down, just like cars. If your car breaks down do you curse the car maker or get it fixed? Surely, you paid more for your car than the computer.
    This is reality. Best get used to it because it won't get any better.

  • Ever since I downloaded the version 6.0, my youtube video's and other video's won't play and are halted. Is their a setting I need to change now ?

    When going to youtube.com in it's own tab, every video comes on to play for a few seconds and is halted with no way to play the entire video again. I can watch a youtube video in facebook but it too is kept from streaming smoothly. When editing my photos and video's offline for my camera. The software performs flawlessly on my computer as always. I run Norton 360 premium edition. no bells or whistles. I run the add on for you tube as i always have from firefox. Is there some setting i need to change now with this version 6.0? 5.0 worked fine also. When I watch a video I uploaded to weather.com now, I get flawless audio without the video to see. My 4GB Ram is peaking out running firefox now. Not sure if having many tabs left open is affecting the performance and the videos. it did not do so with 5.0 as it does with 6.0. Thanks

  • I need to change a photo into a video file in order to post on youtube. How can I do this with my mac?

    I need to change a photo into a video file in order to post in youtube. How can I do this with my mac mini?

    When I go to import, the choices are :
    movies
    camera archive
    imovie for IOS
    imovie for HD
    It refuses to import a photo with any of these choices, which is located on the desktop or in a folder. It's a regular .jpg
    There are instructions to drag it. I put it there, and it bounces right back. The photo will not stay.
    I just need this one picture to go on so I can post a meditation on youtube.  It doesn't come from a camera.

  • Changing TV Show to Music Video in Video Kind:

    Hey all,
    In Video Kind when you get info on a video under the Video tab, there is a drop down menu where you can change the type of video. I want to change a TV Show to Music Video, but the drop down is not allowing me to, it is grayed out. I am assuming there is a way to do it, since it's there. So, if anyone out there in MacLand could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it!!!
    Thanks,
    Bernie

    When you buy a video from iTunes, it will be in "Protected MPEG-4 video file" format. Since it is "protected", you can't reformat it.
    For tracks, you can convert them to unprotected MP3 format by burning them to an audio CD, then ripping them back to iTunes. However, It is not the same for videos. When I burned my TV-Shows to video DVD, and ripped them back to iTunes, the protected format does not change.
    If I find anything special program that can convert the videos into non-protected format so that you can edit them, I'll let you now ASAP

  • How do you change multiple 'Video Kind' values at once?

    Hello,
    first of all, sorry if this has already been asked, but I tried searching for a straight answer in here and in other forums without any luck..
    .. but I was wondering if there is a way to select multiple videos, and change their video kind to something else, all at once(eg. from Movie to Music Video)...
    ...When I select a group of videos and click get info, it doesn't give me the option to change the video kind, so I've had to change each one, one at a time, (which gets very tiresome :P)...
    ...so is there a way to change multiple 'Video Kind' values at once, or should I pray that it becomes available in the next update of iTunes?
    Pentium 4 3.0 ghz Windows XP

    You can't do it right now. Wait for the next update, and hope it's there.
    For the moment, I suggest selecting Get Info on one song, changing the setting, then hitting the next button at the bottom to go right to the Get Info for the next song. You can rapidly change lots of these that way.
