Stories Tracks and Markers HELP!

I am creating a DVD that does the following.
2 tracks 1 hour each
1 Main menu per track, with submenus, and a play all button.
ie: Main menu has 5 buttons, each of the 5 leads to a submenu with 5 buttons.
So I was thinking of using chapters... 1a,1b,1c,1d,1e,2a,2b,2c,2d,2e,3a,...5e
I know about the 99 chapter limit... I should be ok.
I want to do the following:
-Play whole section: 1a,1b,1c,1d,1e, go back to submenu
-Play whole section: 2a,2b,2c,2d,2e, go back to submenu
-etc...
-Play subsection: 1b or 1c or whatever, go back to submenu
-Play all: 1a,1b,1c.....5c,5d,5e
I created some scripts to set a GPRM depending on: play section, play subsection, or play all.... I put these on the menu buttons
I also created scripts to check the GPRM value, I placed these on the chapter markers.
But it doesn't work... The play section and play all, never complete...
I hope this makes sense...
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi - welcome to the discussions.
Start using stories with those chapter markers... you can have 1 track and 98 stories in total (or any combination totalling 99), and so you should easily be able to fit all you need into these.
Set the menu buttons to point to the story containers, not the markers, and set the end jumps and menu calls for each story as you need them to be.
For playing a single chapter, just place a single marker into the story. Similarly, for multiple chapters, place all the markers you need into the story. For play all, either point the menu button to the track, or add a story which has all of the markers in it.
This should get you up and running!

  • Markers help  or advice please .   FCP TO STP    new to fcp and stp

    markers created in a clip in Final Cut Pro then exported as Qtime movie are not showing up when QTime movie clip is re-opened in STpro. This seems a little odd to me.
    why does STP not detect scene cuts and timcode markers from a QTime movie saved in final cut.
    The Process we used.
    we have a scene made up of several takes, thus several edit points within the scene, which we marked and named in FCP so we new which audio files to use within the scene.
    we export scene as compressed Qtime movie.
    Opened in ST pro, 1 video track with scratch track and NO MARKERS telling us the info we'd need.
    What are we doing wrong? I'm guessing Qtime does not record marker info, if this is the case which format does. or is it back to pen and paper. If logic can detect scene cuts, why does STP not. is there a way?
    Any help or advice would be much appreciated. I stress I'm new to this audio for film doodaa.
    Regards
    James

    Seems that clip markers don't show up (in my experience too) but FCP Sequence markers do! Make sure you have all the clips, video, audio etc de-selected and then add the markers to the top timeline bar. These will then export.
    BTW you have a choice of marker types available on export, but I found that the export all markers didn't export any markers... so select the marker type you are using and only export those. I am using Scoring markers for STP and now it works fine (although you are not able to move them once imported into STP...)
    None of this is very clear in the FCP / STP manuals as little differentiation is made about the types of markers (i.e. whether for clips or sequences...)
    Best of luck

    Three possible causes:
    - You got charged twice. On a computer go to iTunes Store>View Account>Purchase History and see what you got charged for
    - Maybe the difference is due to tax. Again the Purchase History will list the total price including tax for each purchase.
    - You had a negative balance (you owed money) before you redeemed the card.

  • Help with Motion Tracking and Masking?

    Hi. First and probably only post here. I've got a bit of an issue....
    I'm trying to create "snapshots" in my video that are created from masks which are then motion tracked and remain stationary. Here's a video of what i'm talking about... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OhVAduuJc8
    The problem I'm running into is that after i motion track the layer, select a null object as the target, duplicate the video layer, mask the object, freeze frame, and pair it to a null layer, the object does not remain stationary as the ones in the video do. Instead it moves WITH the null object and I cant figure out why. I've gotten a tutorial from the guy who made the video, however it's private so i don't know if you guys will be able to see it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zY0QLrMCcGM
    Either way, i followed the tutorial exactly and still to no avail. Are my settings messed up or what exactly is going on? Ive successfully done this project before but now that i'm using CS5, i'm running into these issues. If anyone has any advice i'd gladly try it out and return with the results.
    Thanks so much for trying to help me out.

    Yeah the null is still moving. Will freezing it lock the mask into place while still allowing the footage to play through? And how would i go about "freezing the null"?
    I just dont understand how this person does it in the tutorial, and the mask remains in place. I know you probably can't watch the tutorial cause the user has it set as private, but as far i know his mask stays in place, but uses the null (while still moving) as a tracking device to keep the mask from floating out of control as the camera moves through the shot.
    Sorry if I'm making this rather confusing. It's difficult to explain.
    Maybe it might be easier to explain how you would obtain the result from the video I've posted? Keep in mind I dont have CameraTracker.

    I also have this problem using Garageband in a school network situation when students open their project on one station, save it to their network drive, and later open it at a different station.  90% of the time there will be no issue, but sometimes audio files are lost. (Garageband '11, iMacs)
    That sounds like it might be a failure of the students to perform a Save As and check Archive Project when they do. This asks GB to pull all the files it needs into the associated .band document rather than point to them externally (and then risk not having them be there).

  • HT4623 Both my iPad and iPhone have a message "Cannot get mail" The connection to server failed. I wen to the Apple store today and he could not do anything. Said maybe it will come back by itself. It has been 36 hours and nothing has happened. Help!!!

    I have not been able to connect to the internet on my iPhone and iPad the past 36 hours.Went to the Apple store today and he said that maybe it will come back on it's own.  That is the first time that I have been to the apple store with a disappointing resolve.  Please help, there has to be an answer?

    Your post says you have an iPhone 3G.  Is it running iOS 4.2.1, which is the latest iOS it can run?  Even if so, it's now quite old (nearly five years).  That could be part of the problem.
    Anyway, maybe you should delete your mail account (Settings >> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -- if it was still called that back in the iOS 4.2.1 days), and start over.
    Here's the Mail Setup Assistant to help you do that:

  • My iMac boots up and the mouse curser will move but nothing responds to the click. I was in the Apple store today and they reset the permissions, but still same problem. Help!!!

    My iMac boots up fine and the mouse appears to be working fine however nothing responds to the mouse click. I took it to the Apple store today and they checked and repaired the permissions. I brought it home and still have the same problem. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Hi, thanks for trying to help!
    I just blew out the dust and turned it on again to the same problem.
    So I tried holding the shift key which did something but then on reboot I got the same problem but this time worse, see here...
    So I tried the alt key but that just gave me two startup disk options, both of which didn't work (they led to the same problem).
    Then I tried CMD+s and followed your instructions, see below...
    I just held the power button down and turned it on again and the same problem happened again.
    Any further thoughts?
    Thanks!
