Select timeline with all chapter markers

How can I select the timeline with all chapter markers. I need to shorten my timeline at the begining and move everything down. Thanks

Unless this feature has been added in CS5, you can't select more than one marker at a time.
I would agree with Stan about not doing this in Encore. Create a new asset with the correct length.

Problem with creating chapter-markers

Hi everyone,
as the title already says it, I've got a problem with creating chapter markers in Quicktime Pro 7.6.4. There's something wrong with the font, displayed in Quicktime. The problem first appeared a few days ago. Before this, everything went fine and I don't have a clue what causes the problem.
Please click HERE to see a screen-recording of the steps I do to create chapters:
- convert the chapters into unformatted text and save it as Unicode (UTF-16) text file.
- open it in Quicktime and everything (including the german umlauts) is displayed correct.
- export it into a Text-file with description
when I open the new text file in Quicktime, the fonts are displayed in asian letters, but when I view it in the Texteditor, the text is almost correct, BUT the umlauts are not ok. So I go on with...
- correct the umlauts and save a new file as Unicode (UTF-16) again.
After I open the new file in Quicktime, the text is completely gone. As the text file seems to be ok in the Texteditor, I guess there must be something wrong with Quicktime. I tried to reinstall Quicktime 7 from the "Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard" Installation-Disc, but the problem persists.
I' would appreciate any help...
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Michael

I'm having the exact same issue. I have created my movie in IMovie 09 then under the "share " menu I sent the movie to iDVD. Everything looks fine on screen, but all I get on the final product is the movie.
After digging deeper into the tutorials all they show is dragging a movie into the idvd shell, not sharing via imovie.
Thus I'm currently attempting to create a quicktime movie then drag it into the IDVD shell. I think that way the chapter markers and everything should show up and burnt into the final project. I'm guessing the "share" option with the IDVD from iMovie doesn't work properly???

Dvd asset with 3 chapter markers

hi folks, hope you can help, probably a dumb question, but here goes nothing! i've got a dvd project with one main asset, a fcp movie with 3 chapter markers. i have set the dvd menu to have 4 buttons, i need them to play certain chapters only. ie button 1 to play from start to marker 1 then stop at marker 2 & return to main menu, then button 2 to play from marker 2 and stop at the third & return to main menu etc etc. also one button will play the whole movie. do i use stories? do i need to have several assets to apply to different buttons? sorry for the daft questions but this isn't something i've had to do before & want to get it right.

Hi Onedi,
You do have to use stories ! No need to repeat assets or scripting. Check this video tutorial:

How create LOV(select List) with all LDAP users

Hello,
I am trying to create a selected list with all the users in my LDAP, note my LDAP is synchronized with my OID.
Any suggestions, I'm searching the the pl/sql statment?

Hi Hussam,
Take a look at my comments in the following two threads -

The two different threads discuss the methods I use to do what you want to do (so you really need to 'combine' the two different threads).
Hope this helps

Inconsistent behavior with Encore Chapter Markers

I am considering reporting the following problem to Adobe, but does anyone here have thoughts on whether I am doing something wrong. If this is a bug, is there a workaround, other than the obvious method of directly starting Encore from within PrPro?
I have a project in PrPro CS5 with 3 Encore Chapter Markers. When I invoke Encore from Premiere, all three markers appear in the timeline. However, if I export to an AVI file, which in turn is added to an Encore project, only the first chapter marker is recognized.
Thanks,
Steve

I am aware that one can still do the dynamic link invocation of Encore from Premiere after re-editing the clip.
You don't have to "do" anything when you send a Premiere Pro sequence to Encore via Dynamic Link; it's basically a live connection that is active at all times. When you make a change in Premiere, that change is immediately reflected in Encore (assuming, of course, that you haven't already transcoded the DL'ed sequence). You can set up a Dynamic Link either by sending a Premiere sequence to Encore, or by linking to a Premiere sequence from Encore; the end result is the same.
But, if one takes this approach, does one risk destroying their Encore project? The risk of this is why I chose not to take this approach.
I don't know what you mean by "destroying your Encore project," but suffice to say the setting up a Dynamic Link is a non-destructive process.
What happens to one's Encore project if one were to do the dynamic link to an existing Encore project?
Nothing bad; see the above. If you have the same Premiere sequence DL'ed to two different Encore projects, nothing you do in one Encore project affects the other Encore project or the original Premiere sequence. Now, if you change the sequence in Premiere, those changes will be reflected in all of the Encore projects that use that Premiere sequence. I'm not really sure what it is you're asking here, but hopefully that's what you're referring to.
And what would happen if one had custom menus or had other assets that either came from other contributors or that were generated from outside of Premiere? My guess is that one would probably have to start their Encore work all over, but hopefully someone can tell me that I'm wrong.
You'll have to clarify what you're talking about here. Note that you can right-click an asset and select Replace Asset... is that what you want to do?

Exporting "Selected Clips" and iDVD Chapter Markers from iMovie

I've tried exporting "selected clips" from iMovie . The iDVD Chapter Markers do not appear as a menu option on the initial iDVD menu screen when "selected clips" is checked in the iMovie Share option. The chapter markers are limited to the clips I'm exporting. The "Share" dialog box seems to indicate that Chapter Markers should export but they don't. // I'm trying to break up a movie that's too long for a DVD (but I will later share to video from iMovie). I'd prefer not to make two iMovie projects out of this. Thanks!

Hello, John,
Welcome to the discussions.
You can either do your 'share to video from iMovie' before or after creating your iDVDs. But, you will need to create a second iMovie if yours is too long for one DVD and you are wanting to make 2 DVDs from the one long movie.
To make the second one before sharing the entire movie:
Select the clips you want in the second movie, then go to 'Edit' and 'Copy'.
Then, select 'New' iMovie. When it opens, give it a name like "Part2" and then 'Paste' your selected clips. Save the movie, then go back to the first one. Delete the clips you just copied.
Close iMovie. Open your DVD project. Find the 'Media' tab, go to 'Movies' and drag and drop your first movie into iDVD. Finish the iDVD project. Save and close.
Then, create the second iDVD project for your second movie in the same way.
Do 'save as disk image' for each iDVD project. That way your project is intact for each one, and you will not lose anything when you change the iMovies. You can burn your DVDs from the disk images.
Now, go back to your second iMovie. Select the clips and copy. Close that movie and open the first one. Paste the second set of clips. Now you have your original movie back and can do your share to video from it. Delete the second movie.

Chapter Markers with Media Encoder.

Is it possible to export media with the media encoder and include chapter markers that will be picked up by encore? In the past few PP versions I have been using export movie and it imported into Encore with all chapter markers named as I named them in premiere. Now when I export a video and import it into Encore it doesnt recognize the markers. Maybe I need to add more info, I'm attempting that now. I know if I export directly to Encore it does, but I like saving my final projects as stand alone avi's for future use and it would be nice if I could save those markers along with it. I guess that brings up another question, if they don't show up in Encore, do they show up in premiere? If so then I guess its not a big loss.
Thanks Again!

You need to use DVD Markers in CS4 for Encore to recognise them.

All I want is a QuickTime Movie with chapter markers :)

Hi,
This should be simple . . . very simple . . . but I don't think DVD Studio Pro will do it? I have a QuickTime movie - shot with the HVX200, overcranked - stunning video with numerous chapter markers created in Final Cut Pro exported as a self contained movie. I love the way you can click the little window at the lower right side of the QT player, and the chapter markers just drop drown so you can choose which one you 'd like to see.
I'd like to create a DVD of exactly that . . . what looks like a QuickTime player where I just click the little play triangle, and it plays. To see chapter markers, just click the little number (chapter marker) at the bottom of the screen - and voila - the chapter marker dropdown comes down. Is there a way in DVD Studio Pro to simple let the quicktime movie look exactly like . . . the quicktime movie? No menus, no special screens - just the QT player window and movie in it !
Can this be done? Thanks very much for considering.
Larry
Thanks

Thank you, Eric. On one hand this is "Solved" because you're confirming what I want doesn't exist - so I can put it to bed! On the other hand . . . you were "helpful" because you didn't SOLVE the problem!
Welcome to life
Thanks for confirming what I believed, though - it's always nice to have other opinions in a decision.

DVD Menu play all & chapter selections

I have a client requesting something that he has done with Adobe's DVD authoring system that I don't believe Studio Pro can do, but thought I would put it out there and maybe someone else has figured it out:
He wants 2 menus (MAIN & SUB MENU) - Main would contain +play all+ or +chapter selection+ buttons. +Play all+ button would start from the beginning and play all the way to the end without stopping. +Chapter Selections+ would take you to a SUB MENU where you could select only certain sections...and here is where it's challenging... _but after that specific selection (or chapter) is finished, that it return to the Sub Menu, rather than continuing on playing the rest of the movie._
I have done such projects successfully; running time was short enough that it would allow me to make 2 Tracks. one with no chapter markers that would play all the way to the end, and the other with chapter markers indicating to jump back to a sub menu. Obviously this doubles the amount of data and it is not an option for this 95 minute program.
Am I missing something fundamental? I hope so. Any insight as always is appreciated and I hope that made sense! Thanks again.

Hi Brittney
I just saw this post and wanted to ask you a question about stories before I set up my project.
I'm a little nervous as my project is 95 mins, has 5 Chapters, and three of these Chapters have Sub Chapters and Sub, Sub Chapters (if that makes sense?). Because the project is so long I need to set up up properly.
I need to be able to either Play All (from start to finish) or go to each Chapter/sub chapter/sub-sub Chapter and come back to the relevant chapter menu each time.
Is stories the way to go with this? I haven't done such a complex project and have always been able to use 2 tracks (a play all and then chapters) .
How do I set this up properly? If I put in all the chapter markers in the FCP timeline and export them out into Compressor and then into DVD SP, is this the best way to go?
How do I then link all my sub chapters, using Story, to come back to the relevant menu, like an end jump?
I hope this makes sense? Cheers and thanks,
Margie
PS I have DVDSP Version 4.2.1

Exporting QT with Chapter markers for iDVD

When I export a QT with Chapter markers for iDVD I get one movie file then a number of "AV" files - what are these and what do I do with them?
workflow as follows:
1.Place chapter markers in timeline using mm the Add Chapter Markers
2. set in/out points in timeline
3. export quicktime movie
4. select include Chapter Markers and include audio/video
5. do NOT select recompress all frames
6. DO select make self contained movie.
7. Open exported movie file in Quicktime and chapter markers are present
8. import ONLY the movie file to iDVD (NOT the AV files?) and answer yes to read all chapter markers
9. burn seems to work fine but when I playback on DVD player there is digital stuttering in the picture
Any ideas on how to remedy the problem?
thanks in advance
patrick

The project is only 75 minutes. Do think it is the codec that iDVD is using that is causing the stutter. I assumed that it always encodes using MPG2.
Any idea what the AV files are?
When I export as an uncompressed DV stream the file is 15 GB.
When I export as uncompressed QT I get one file (movie) at 2.5 GB then
5 more "AV" files that are each 2.5 as well. So when I import the movie file without the AV files am I missing something?
Should I look into DVD Studio Pro? I have version 1.5 but I am fairly unfamiliar with it.

Compressor - export to Blu-ray with more than 6 chapter Markers?

Hi,
I'm interested in creating Blu-Ray discs. I've played around taking a self contained 30 minute movie I created with FCPro 7 - it has several chapter markers put in while editing in FCPro.
I took the SC movie and brought it into Compressor and burned directly to a DVD with the Chapter markers. It worked perfectly.
2 questions, if anyone has done this . . . if I buy a Blu-Ray burner and firewire it into my MacBook Pro - can I burn the Blu-Ray exactly like I did the conventional DVD? Except now it'll be High Definition? I'm guessing in COmpressor, when I 'selected' the internal DVD burner - I guess I'll see the new external Blu-Ray one after I firewire it into the MacBook Pro?
My question is, will it then burn to the Blu-Ray exactly like it did to the internal conventional DVD burner, except be in HD now?
I just don't want to buy a Blu-Ray burner and have something nt work? Thanks, if anyone can confirm this.
I also have Roxio Toast Titanium 11. But keeping it all in Compressor seems easier - with limited screens.
Oh, I only get 6 chapter markers on a screen thru Compressor. Any tricks as to how I can get more than 6? I have like 30, and I'd rather not go thru 5 screens getting to the end!
Thanks very much if anyone has any experience in this area.
Larry

Thank you, Shawn. You're confirming everything I thought!
Just asking . . . perhaps you have a few thoughts here:
- Is Compressor version 4 any "different" than 3.5 - as far as just dropping in a QT movie master to compress?
- I guess there's no way to get more than 6 Chapter Markers in Compressor DVD? I don't see a way, perhaps there is? Or . . . I have to learn toast! But I can do that! Just easier if Compressor would do it all!
Thanks again

Exporting 16:9 with chapter markers to idvd

I have been triyng to export a video in 16:9 with chapter markers but when opened with idvd I can only get either the format or the chapters by using two diferent procedures. Is there any way I can have it in the right format and with the chapter markers? If not, is there any other program, lets say dvd studio pro, that can do it. How should I export them?
Thank you all for your help.

Hi
Got problem with Chapters too - It was my own fault.
A. Must Use Chapter Marks - not just only Marks
B. Must NOT - fiddle with the text in this box set - I thought me to be clever by renaming as I wanted them to be - Result = No Chapter Marks.
Do the re-naming in iDVD - here it's OK and works.
C. The export over to iDVD Export as
• EXPORT With Chapter Marks
• Not self-containing - not important but saves Time and Space
• QuickTime movie - NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION - AT ALL ! !
D. This file I import (drop) into a BRAND NEW iDVD Project - Never go back to update as this set's off the iDVD BUG. If error in movie found and need of change - THEN Start a Brand New iDVD project and all will be well.
(E. Never let iDVD convert from NTCS to PAL or other way around and not feed it 24fps video - as result will be BAD) - If of need - Please come back for instr. on how.
Yours Bengt W

Quicktime H.264 with chapter markers

I tried encoding a DV25 sequence with Encore/chapter markers to a Quicktime H.264 movie. Upon playback and checking through markers on Quicktime X, the movie keeps jumping to the end of the file rather than at the marker point. Anyone know why this is, and how to remedy it?

The markers actually show up when I playback on Quicktime X. I tried Make Movie again from Premiere to a Quicktime movie with DV25 codec (HUGE file size since it's not H.264), and the markers actually work right. What gives?

Clip markers to chapter markers

Hi all.
Is there a way to take clip "chapter" markers and turn them into timeline chapter markers?
Thanks.

Jeremy,
Assuming you are talking about replicating markers from clips to timeline (or vice versa), and you've made a lot of markers, here's a tip:
If you are transferring markers from clips to timeline, highlight marked clips by selecting them in the timeline. When the marked clips are highlighted, pressing (shift)(up arrow) and (shift)(down arrow) jumps to next and previous markers, respectively. This will position the playhead to mark the timeline - however, you will have to de-select the clip in order to set the timeline mark. You can then press (shift)(cmd)(A) to "deselect everything," followed by pressing (M) to mark the timeline.
It's a bit awkward, but you could do this with the following keystroke sequence:
+(Make the Timeline the active window (cmd)(3) and place the playhead to the left of the first marker to transfer.)+
1) (cmd)(A) selects all clips in the timeline
2) (shift)(M) jumps to the next marker in the selected clips
3) (shift)(cmd)(A) deselects all clips in the timeline
4) (M) marks the timeline at the position of the current clips marker
Repeat steps 1 to 4.
Going the other direction (copying timeline marks to clips - important if you've accidentally marked up the timeline and realize that when you start ripple deleting clips that your down-stream marks will all go out of sync) is much easier and faster:
+(Make the Timeline the active window (cmd)(3) and place the playhead to the left of the first marker to transfer.)+
1) Highlight the clips to be marked.
2) Press (shift)(M) - this jumps to the next mark whether it is in a clip or the timeline.
3) Press (M) to mark the timeline.
By alternately pressing (shift)(M) and (M) (steps 2 and 3), you can rapidly copy timeline markers to highlighted clips.
By default, markers placed in the timeline are NOT "chapter" markers. To set them as chapter markers, press "M" twice - once to set the marker, and a second time to open the Edit Marker dialog. In this dialog, you can add Chapter, Compression and Scoring Marker attributes to markers. You can also change existing markers (by pressing "M" once while the playhead is parked exactly on a marker using methods mentioned above).
