Scene Selection out of order...

I made a movie in FInal Cut Pro and set up Scene Markers. They split up into scenes in iDVD, however the selection is out of order. I'm using 'Reflection White' theme. What happens is when you are selecting through the scenes on the menu it doesn't go in order. Starts with the first one then goes to the bottom, then back up to the top, then to the bottom. Is there anyway to change the order that the DVD will select which next?

Just catching up with this thread as I have the same problem -- scene selection does not go in the order of the chapters (12) made in FCP and exported as a QT movie. It DOES work on DVD player, but not work on stand alone DVD players (I have 2) through a TV set. And, yes, I tried free positioning to move the scenes around to conform with the pattern iDVD seemed to want but that didn't help either. The pattern of selection seems random, every time I press on the remote it might go: scene 1, scene 4, next page arrow, scene 2, scene 1 and so on. And it seems to differ from one burned DVD to another.
HELP! I've been trying to solve this problem for three days.
Thank you.

IDVD Won't Create Scene Selections

Hi - I'm just starting to learn iMovie 09 and iDVD 7.0.4. I made an iMovie with chapter markers, tried to create a DVD of it in iDVD and it would not create the chapter markers. So I tried making a "Magic DVD" and lo and behold, it recognized my chapter markers and make scene selections out of them. Perfect. I burned it to a dvd. Then I created another movie in iMovie with chapter markers. I did the same exact thing, but when I created it as an Magic DVD, this time it won't recognize the chapter markers and create scene selections. I am totally stuck.
Does anyone have any ideas I might try? What could I possibly be doing with the second movie that I did not do with the first?? I just won't create scene selections.
Thanks

Hi PainterLady
And welcome to apple discussions. Drag and drop the plist for iDvd to the trash if you haven't already tried this, fallowed by a complete restart of your mac. See if it helps. The Plist for iDvd is located within your preferences folder and looks like this:
com.apple.iDvd.plist
iDvd will create a new factory default set of preferences.
Once you've done this, then repair permissions from apple's disc utility (Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility).
Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

Option key is out of order when I want to select a boot disk

I've upgraded the OsX10.6.8.
after then, I can't boot by Bootcamp any more, because the Option key is out of order. I've tried it over 10 times. What's wrong?

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

B10 build TableView row selection causes columns to stretch out of order

When running the following css on a tableRow to change the selected highlight colour. If you have 50 of more rows and need to use the arrow keys to scroll the columns become stretched and out of order
.table-view .indexed-cell .cell: selected {
-fx-border-color: #f8c27f;
-fx-background-color: rgb(230,230,230);
}

Could you please post a bug in the JavaFX Jira at http://javafx-jira.kenai.com. If you file it under the 'runtime' section against the 'controls' component, it will be looked at as soon as possible. Ideally you'd include a small test application as an attachment.

Tree tags selected lines out of order

Why is it that tree controls return the tags of the items selected in the order they are selected, whereas the listbox returns the row number of the items selected in numeric order? Is there any way to have a tree control return the selected items in the order they appear on screen?
Michael

I've attached an example illustrating how listboxes return selected items in order and trees do not. If you click on one of the bottom items, hold control, then click on one of the top items, the listbox will return the row numbers in numeric order whereas the tree returns the tags in the order you clicked them. It would be nice if the tree returned the tags in the order on the screen.
The actual code I am using the tree in is for a plot legend that allows users to select which graphs to make visible. I've already made a workaround that works fine, I was just trying to use a for loop that looked at each item in the listbox or tree and made a plot visible or invisible according to the items selected. However, this required selected items to be in order. I know this probably isn't a very common use of a tree, since I only deal with parents, but some features involving cell coloring when cells are deleted work very well for my application.
If the ordering is just how it is for trees, I guess I'll have to accept it....

Chapter marker thumbnails getting duplicated, out of order (FCPX 10.1.4)

Group - I use FCPX to compile home movies of my kids, the pets, etc. I use footage from a Canon HD camcorder and an iPhone 6+. I import them into FCPX, trim, transition, maybe throw in some music, and usually put in 40 or so stills (JPEGS) at the end for a slide show.
The project I'm working on now is around 2.5h long after editing and transitions. I put chapter markers at the beginning of each scene, and then drag the pin to set a custom chapter marker thumbnail.
The issue - no matter what I do, I can't seem to get ALL of the thumbnails sorted properly. Meaning, I get one or two out of order, and numerous ones duplicate. I've rebooted, trashed prefs (opt-com start), copied all the clips into a new project and re-rendered, and even deleted them all and manually applied them all again. There are roughly 36 or 37 chapters in this project. I tend to get a different result each time, but with the same general problem.
Sadly, iMovie worked pretty flawlessly for me, but I thought I'd enjoy the added capabilities of FCPX. The rendering time for this movie on a one year old iMac with 24GB RAM is around 7 hours at 720p, so as you can imagine, it's not been a fun project. I've attached a screenshot of the issue on my AppleTV for reference. I've seen a lot of history with this problem, though many threads proclaimed it 'solved'. I'd disagree. Anyone have any thoughts on what I am doing wrong, or is this just more stellar quality control from Apple?
PS - Are there any recommended alternatives to FCPX? I'm noticing I use fewer and fewer Apple-branded apps, I'm starting to see a pattern here.... :^(

Discs are not my top-priority here, but I remember this rules (for iDVD):
The Rules of Chapter Markers:
*Make sure no chapter markers are within two seconds of the start or end of the timeline.
*Make sure no chapter markers are within a transition.
*Make sure no chapter markers are within two seconds of the end of a transition.
*Make sure you do not have the "Share selected Clips" option checked when preparing to share to iDVD
maybe, these rules were not by limitations of software, but by 'standard'?
If you test it, try to what happens when you 'violate' these rules ...........

How to add a second page to scene selections link

I imported a QuickTime that has 12 chapter markers. iDVD automatically creates the main page that has two links: "Play Movie" and "Scene Selection". When I try to burn the DVD, I get an error telling me that the "Scene Selection" page has more than 12 buttons. If you add the 12 scene titles and the back arrow button, then there are 13 buttons. Therefore, I must add another page that will contain at least one of the 12 scene titles. My question is, how can I keep the one main page so that when I click on "Scene Selection", it takes me to a second page that has a few scene titles and also has a page advance arrow that if clicked, will take me to the next page of scene selections. The only way I can figure out how to do it is to have the main page contain two links: one for scenes 1 - 6 and one for scenes 7 - 12. What am I missing? Thanks for any help.

On the scene selection page use the "+" button to create a new submenu page:
Select the last scene link, go to the submenu and paste. Go into the Preview mode and make sure the link works. Then go to the first scene selection menu and delete that last scene link.
If you copy and paste more than one link to the subkmenu remember the order they are added to that menu determines the order they will be highlighted when using the DVD player's remote device.

Scene Selection Menu Page Problem

I just installed iLife 06 on my computer, updating me from iLife 05. When I opened an old project with iDVD and selected a new theme page(s), "Refection White Chapters" the scenes in the preview scrolled out of order. Instead of going from left to right they went diagonally; not in the sequence they were set. That doesn't seem right.

Don;t know how to fix your problem, but I never upgrade in the middle of iMovie/iDVD projects.....

In scene selection mode, can you make iDVD return to the scene selection menu after playing that scene without continuing to play all the other scenes?

After selecting one scene from the scene selection menu, the following scenes play automatically, as if it were in "play movie" mode. Is there a way to stop that behavior and have the DVD return to the scene selection menu after playing just the selected scene?

OK
So what You want is a "Play All" button resp. a "Play one Chapter at a time" one.
Then
BAD News - There are Non ! in iDVD
GOOD News - it can in part be faked.
read on
Play all resp. one chapter at a time
Play All Button
1. There are NO - Play All - button in any version of iDVD
2. It can be faked in several ways
• Easiest and most fault proof way is to make a doublet movie containing All and with
Chapters set to match. It will take up x2 space but is easy to understand and produce.
Cons: Tried this in iMovie’11 by Exporting out each part as a full Quality QT.mov then Importing back into new events and putting these into a new project (Play All project). Resulting DVD had Audio that was OK (as parts) - BUT the picture was very bad and standing photo were cut of in height. So the Play All movie has to be created from same material and exactly in the same way as the individual parts + then Chapters has to be set to match.
• It's said that one can put all movies into a Photo/SlideShow and this will also
give the function of a Play All button - Tested - and ONE HAS TO un-cheque - Scale pictures to TV-Safe area else it will be a black frame all around and a small picture !
Mike Evangelist1
You might be able to get close to what you want by using a slideshow in iDVD. (It's not widely known, but you can put videos in a slideshow.) If you set the slide duration to manual, playback will pause after each movie/slide, and you can continue with the 'next' button.
3. Using another program to do this e.g.. Roxio Toast™ where there is a Play All button option.
Summary
a. Making a Play All movie with same care as the individual Part movies - gives a very Good Result
b. Using Roxio Toast™ - also an usable way to go

BAPI_ALM_ORDERHEAD_GET_LIST to select two different order at a time (urgent

hello all ,
Using BAPI_ALM_ORDERHEAD_GET_LIST i want to select two different orders at a time . As we do in IW38 using select single vaules(1) .
i want to know how to pass the selection .
Up to know i have tried like this :
FIELD_NAME                     S OP LOW_VALUE
OPTIONS_FOR_ORDERID            I EQ 500460
OPTIONS_FOR_ORDERID            I EQ 500400
But i am getting only the first order . But i want both order numbers .
So please help me on this .
Thanks are regards ,
Prem

Just for information. The following IT_RANGES fields map to the IW38 checkboxes at the top of the selection-screen:
SHOW_DOCUMENTS_IN_PROCESS      IW38 - Outstanding (CRTD)
SHOW_OPEN_DOCUMENTS                  IW38 - In process (REL)
SHOW_COMPLETED_DOCUMENTS       IW38 - Completed (TECO and CLSD)
SHOW_HISTORICAL_DOCUMENTS       IW38 - Historical
If you want to select TECO/CLSD orders, then you would use the following in IT_RANGES:
SHOW_DOCUMENTS_IN_PROCESS      I EQ
SHOW_OPEN_DOCUMENTS                  I EQ
SHOW_COMPLETED_DOCUMENTS       I EQ X
SHOW_HISTORICAL_DOCUMENTS       I EQ
As you then said, you need to filter out the CLSD statuses using:
OPTIONS_FOR_STATUS_INCLUSIVE I EQ TECO
I suspect this would be a more efficient way of selecting the data, but you'd need to check.

Quit the app and restart the iPad.
In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Try the videos app again.

Java Fx Category Axis out of order

I have a chart where I REPLACE the data in a XY chart with new String,Number pairs and I get the category axis labels out of order. They retain part of the order of the previous chart that has had its data deleted.
Here is a demo app that shows the behavior. Just click on the chart a couple of times while looking at the x axis. The first time the data is plotted all is ok, after other data is plotted, the category axis gets screwed up for the original data.
Any help?????

Import photos are out of order

I hope I can explain this so it makes sense. I am trying to import photos from a compact flash card. When they come into Lightroom they are out of order. I have tried sorting them by all the different means in the drop down but still are not correct. I notice that for some reason some of the photos show incorrect dates and that seems to be what is affecting the import. Lightroom is putting the photos from the oldest date first. I was able to load the pictures into a folder on the desktop and they are in the correct order just using the camera file names. When I tried to load them from that folder into Lightroom, they went back to the incorrect order. Is there a way to import without the metadata? Is that what is fouling this up? I don't know where these weird dates have come from but they are there and I can't get rid of them.
I am running Lightroom on an imac with OS 10.4.11 and this is the first I have run into this problem. These photos are from an older camera, a Nikon Coolpix 885 and are my son's photos. I normally import from my Canon camera using a compact flash with a reader and have never had such a problem. Here I am talking up Lightroom to my son about how easy it is to get the photos in and organize them and he is not buying it at this point. Hopefully this makes sense and someone knows what is going on.
Thanks

The date information is taken from the camera which writes it to the file. This needs to be set to the correct date and time in the camera itself.
The order the images are shown in the Library mode is set by clicking on the sort button in the tool bar, which if not showing can be activated from view, tool bar. There are different sort orders that can be applied including sorting by file name. You can also sort by dragging the images to the order you wish them to appear in by selecting user order.
