Title Pages

How can I create a stationary title page with 4 or more lines of script at once.
I just need to fade in and fade out after a few seconds without any moving effects

Hi picturguy:
Welcome to discussions!
Those are all great ways to do your title page...one more thought -
You can use the 'Scrolling Block' title and when it scrolls to the center of the page, you can pause the screen. Then chose Edit --> Create Still Frame and then make it as long or short as you want.

I use iBookAuthor to make a textbook for my students; I revised it, including title page, but when I export it and upload it to my iPad, the old title page appears, even though I've deleted the older version of the text before I upload the new one.

Last year I produced a textbook using iBookAuthor for my students. I exported it as an iBook and they uploaded it to their iPads. This year, I revised it, including revising the title page. However, when I upload the new version, the old title page is shown, not the new one. I deleted the older version of the textbook before I did this. I've been told that I can cut and paste each revised chapter into a new template and that will work; however, title page and glossary can't be cut and pasted. Any thoughts for getting the entire new version on the iPad? I'm also told that if it is uploaded to an iPad that never had a previous version of this textbook, it will upload correctly. But my iPad has had several older versions, now deleted.

I had a similar issue when trying to create an iBook file to submit for course credit for one of the Apple Learning Essentials classes I took. I had a book I'd started previously which I updated and submitted, and then had to make some edits to for the course evaluator. I made the edits, and when I previewed the book in iBooks Author, it looked correct, but whatever I sent to him only showed some of the edits - for example a new page I created was there, but some edits I made to image captions and the title page image were not.
What worked for me was to do a "Save as" of the actual Author file to a totally new location (I used the Desktop), and then submit that file - which seemed to work in terms of the changes sticking. I even used the same file name.
I'm not sure if some similar action might help you (maybe change the file name slightly?) or if you've already tried something like this.
Still doesn't change the fact that this is a pretty irritating bug.

How do I change the size or orientation of the Title Page in iBook Author

I'd like to customize the shape and size of the Title Page in my book, I noticed that many books have custome sized Title Pages (one example is the free iBook The Yellow Submarine).

The 'Book Title' page in iBooks Author – top of the list in the Book sidebar – is fixed in size and orientation. What you are seeing with customized cover graphics are covers independently created and uploaded through iTunes Producer. - Fabe

How do I have the audio of a clip play underneath a black title page?

I have a project where I am asking a couple the same question seperately. I have a black title page that writes out the interviewer's question for 2 seconds, but while the title page is displayed, I would like to hear interviewer asking the question (without seeing the footage). How do I place a black title page in front of a clip so only the audio plays while the title page is running?
THANK YOU!

The simplest way would be to
0) In iMovie/Preferences make sure that the Advanced Tools are enabled.
1) Add your tite to the movie.
2) Find the event clip that contains the audio and select the portion that you need. Drag it to the project and drop it on the Title. A pop-up menu should appear. Choose "Audio Only".
There are other ways as well if this does not work for you.

I am looking for an App that gives me some graphics to title pages and margins in word documents

I am looking for an App that gives me some graphics for Word 2011 title pages, and margins. A range of screen backgrounds for the page would be useful as my word documents are sent mostly online. ...appropriate for business topics.

I use documents to go and find that it works very will. It also has a desktop program that will allow for wifi syncing of documents outside of iTunes. It, like any app, won't have all the bells and whistles and formatting goodies of a full fledged program, but it does have basic formatting (bold, underline, italics, indents)
I don't think it comes with many fonts, but the iPad itself doesn't have a lot of fonts either.

Header/Footer Appearing on Title Page

Hello,
In RoboHelp 11, every time I generate Printed Documentation (Word), my master page header/footer appears on the Title Page. It doesn't appear on RoboHelp's default title page, but it appears when I use a topic as a Title Page or when I navigate to a Word doc Title Page in Print Document Section Layout.
In the Print Document General - Content section, Multiple Header/Footer, <Default Title Page>, I select <None> for First Page (Apply to all pages in the section).
In the Print Document Section Layout, I thought RoboHelp automatically rendered anything placed above the TOC as the Title Page, but for some reason, it's seeing my Topic Title Page and/or Word doc Title Page as just another page in the document and adding the header/footer to it.
I think the last version of RoboHelp I used awhile back was 8 or 9, but I don't recall ever having this trouble adding a Title Page to a Printed document.
Please help me troubleshoot this.
Thank you!

You may also find looking at the Employee Care 2 sample project useful as that describes how to use the new print layout.

How do you number pages but start the numbering on the second page, while omitting the page number from the first page (my title page)

I have recently changed from Word to Pages 5.5. I want to create a document with a title page (no number) and the second page as Page 1. It is quite simple to do in Word, but I cannot find a way to do it in Pages.

Hi Ryanlipp;
Insert a section break
Place cursor in the newly created section (page)
     In the Document panel:
select Insert page number: 1.
Under Numbering, select start at: 1
                 It starts numbering from number 1 in the new page (2nd page).
Now place the cursor in the previous page (Ist page).
Select Hide on first page section.
                 This hides page number in the first page of the document.
I hope, this is what you are after.
Regards,

I'm creating a book format in Pages. I want the page count to be 1 on the first page of chapter one after the title page, table of contents, etc.. How do I do that?

That is not the issue.
Pages/OSX does not save files with crop marks and bleeds.
It also by default saves transparency, which is involved in a lot of Pages' better features, at a rubbishy 72 dpi resolution.
It also makes it extremely difficult to maintain mono-color like black only text, has no spot color and makes color management opaque.
It really is only meant for amateur publishing and printing to your desktop printer.
A commercial printer who is willing to use and print from Pages may have better results but at the cost of considerable micro-management which defeats the point of this "cheap" solution.

Pages to ePub: TOC and Title Page

Hello everyone... please help! I'm pulling my hair out.
When exporting from Pages to ePub, I'm having two issues:
1- The Title Page (which is page 1 and has been selected as the cover of the book) does not appear or appears blank. What do I have to do to make it appear?
2- I hear in all forums the need to build a TOC in addition to the one ePub already creates and that appears on the left hand side when the file is opened using an ebook reader. Can anyone please tell me why I have to do this and most importantly HOW to do it?
Thank you very much!!

Thank you for sharing such an informative post! I'd like to offer one small correction.
My company publishes children's picture storybooks in print. These are edge to edge full color pages for those who may not be familiar with this format. Our early ePub's were always disappointing in that we could not duplicate the print format without showing considerable white margins on an e-reader. We have since solved that problem in order to achieve the maximum image size. There will always be some amount of white margin in ePub format, but our image output now nearly fills the screen of any e-reader.
The 600X860 resolution is correct in order to achieve a wall to wall ePub image. The image must be created at that resolution for insertion into the document, and the page setup must also be set at the same dimension, which in inches is 8.333X11.944. You cannot, for example, use a smaller size image and drag it with constrained proportions to fill the viewport at the 600X860 resolution. The exported ePub file recognizes the portion of the image that is beyond the margins of the viewport and it will show up in an e-reader with a large white bottom margin.
Dragging a smaller image than the 600X860 resolution to fill the viewport with unconstrained proportions will work, but of course distorts the image. So, create your images at 600X860, insert them into your doc, export to ePub and you will be happy, happy, happy!

Unable to create a complate PDF (with title page, toc, chapter, backmatter, index) from a valid ditamap

Following is the ditamap i am using to create the PDF. This has booktitle, front matter, toc, chapter and backmatter. I am able to generate a PDF (complete with title page, toc, chapter, backmatter, index) using fop 0.25. However, when I try to create a pdf in FM 9.0, I get only the chapter. How can get the others through FM 9.0. Please provide a solution.

Unfortunately, default FM9 DITA does not support the automatic creation of the special bookmap files (toc, index, etc.). The only way to do it in FM9 is to manually add those generated lists to the book after you've generated it.
DITA-FMx 1.1 provides the ability to automatically create FM generated lists as well as apply numbering and pagination (and many other properties) automatically when you generate a book from a bookmap. For more info and to download a trial ..

Trouble with title page and buttons

I can burn a DVD on DVD Studio Pro but am not able to create a title page or buttons. I have DVD Studio Pro version 1. What's the easies way to do this?

Are you seriously using version 1? Wow. I do have a copy of that installed on an old machine somewhere - I'll have to go and find it to remind myself how it all worked.
My recollection is vague, but I seem to recall that you add a menu tile and drop an image of the correct format onto the square on the left hand side to get the background image... you use the property inspector to set that menu as the first play item in the project.
Creating buttons - can't quite remember, but I pretty sure it was/is very easy. I'll look out the old manuals when I get a chance.
It might also be a good time for you to upgrade to a later version. I say this not because I think an upgrade is good, or that V1 was particularly bad (actually, it was spectacularly bad at times), but that there is a very, very small number of people who are able to offer support and advice about v1. It was based on a totally different code set to the current version, and there are very few similarities between that and version 4. The only thing you can say is that the DVD specification didn't change, so certain principles for using the app still apply.
If you can find a copy, look for Martin Sitters excellent book for version 1.5 - a really useful reference. I have a copy of that somewhere too... sounds like it is time to dig it out! Check Amazon here:
http://spedr.com/u19v
Are you running v1, v1.2 or v1.5, and what OS are you using?

Can I change the column spacing on just the title page of a 12 page excel spreadsheet?

Greetings! I am attempting to make a order form for work and need some help! The order form is 12 pages long and consists of a title page with a table of contents and the other remaining 11 pages are the items one can purchase. I am struggling with combining the title page and the other 11 pages on the same worksheet because the column spacing of the title sheet is different from the rest of the order form. Is there a way to combine the title page and the order form pages in the same worksheet but have different column spacing? In other words, is there a way to have different column formats for the two???? I have to believe this is possible to do and I would really appreciate any advice!
Cheers!

What version of Excel are you using? I just looked at my old version, but couldn't find a way. It had a Page Break, but not a Section Break.
There's one possibility.
Let's say Page 1 has 7 columns - A thru G
Put the remaining 11 pages in columns H thru N
Is the final product going to remain in Excel format or another format like PDF? If PDF, you could save Page 1 in PDF format & then save the remaining pages in PDF format. Then combine the two files.
 Cheers, Tom

Hi H4S,
Click at the end of the Tile page.

Menu/Title page of DVD blurry

I have a new MacBookPro and just tried to burn my first DVD in iDVD8.
I used 7.0 Themes - Centerstage.
When I playback the DVD, the text on the main menu/title page looks fuzzy.
Not crisp like in iDVD.
I checked the DVD on:
'08 MacBookPro, 1440x900x32bit
'09 iMac, 1680x1050x32bit
When I play the DVD full screen, it looks fuzzy.
If I shrink the window to 1/4 of the screen size, it then looks OK.

Hi
Way out of my doing HD 16x9 but any how I got a list on DVD quality - read and
see if You find anything of use.
*DVD quality*
1. iDVD 08 & 09 has three levels of qualities.
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality (movies up to 120 min.) - BEST
• Best Performances (movies less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
2. From
• FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not selfcontaining, no conversion)
• iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
when the movie includes photos. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
• iMovie’08 not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly eg x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09 this can also be set)
This can also be done with (Apple) Disk Util tool.
4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc).
5. Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
6. DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW)
7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
8. Don’t burn more than three DVD at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while befor next batch.
iDVD quality also depends on.
• HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx 25Gb.
less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
• What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
• What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
(If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JESDeinterlacer3.2.2 do the conversion)
(Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
(US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
(EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
UNLESS. They are plabacked by a Mac - then You need not to care
• What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
• How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
Best / High Performances (most often my choise)
1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
Region codes.
iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
1 = US
2 = EU
Yours Bengt W

How to edit podcast title page?

I'm not seeing how to edit the title line on the podcast page here
www.jimsavage.net
it's acting like a hyperlink that's set to white text (so you cant see it, yellow scrollover.
Also is there supposed to be a "read more" option at end of text on this page like on the blog title page?
Thanks

Just make the changes in the feed an reupload it. It will normally take 1-2 days - sometimes longer - for new episodes and other information changes to appear.
If you want to change the picture you should give the new picture a new filename and change the feed accordingly: iTunes caches the image and if you change the picture without changing the filename it's unlikely iTunes will realise it's changed. If you're using an online service to make your podcast, as seems to be the case, you may not be able to change the filename so all you can do it wait and hope the change is picked up eventually.

How to change the template of all my title pages

ok i made a film using cs4
with 20 seperate title pages all the title
pages started from the same title template
what i want to know is :-
is it possable to change the properties of all the title pages at the same time
for instance change the font / or font colour of all titles with one or two clicks
rather than me go through each title page separately
cheers

ok
so are you saying that in the future
if i was to make all my titles from THE SAME template AND using the "based on current" function
i would then be able to make adjustments to the first title in the project panel and the adjustments would be reflected on all titles throughout the timeline
