Titles at the beginning of chapters?

I'm working on a DVD of a concert performance. The performance is continuous and I'm marking chapters at the beginning of each song. The client has asked if a title can fade up and down when a chapter is selected, to appear before the song. The client doesn't want these titles to appear in the actual performance timeline.
Is Encore able to do something like that?
Thanks for your help.

The Button Transition, that Stanley mentions, is not that difficult to do.
I'd just either setup a new Project in PrPro, or create new Sequences in your existing Project, and do the Title Fade UP/DOWN for each Button Transition Video. Keep the names short, with no spaces, or special characters, but named so that you know what each is, say "Button_01, Button_02," etc.
Export each of those Sequences as either a DV-AVI, or MPEG-2 DV file, and do NOT create a Timeline for them in Encore (Import as Asset). Just pickwhip to each Button Transiton file, in the Project Panel.
This is very effective, and should do exactly what your client wants.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do I keep the title from the beginning from going on the second page.

Please anyone that can help.

4 Methods
1. Type into the Text Area between the margins not the Header/Footer which are there to repeat over all the pages of a section.
2. click at end of text on first page > Menu > Insert > Section Break
Inspector > Layout > Section > Configuration > uncheck Use previous headers & footers
3. Inspector > Layout > Section > check First page is different then go back and delete/change the header/footer
4. Use a floating Textbox for your title

Simplest way to display a title or caption at the beginning of each scene?

I am editing a video to make an instructional dvd covering 23 separate lessons. Without some kind of text in the first few seconds of each scene, there is no way for the viewer to quickly and efficiently distinguish one scene from another as they jump forward or backward from scene to scene. They would have to go back to the main menu between each scene to find the one they're looking for, and that's cumbersome.
I would like to add a caption/title (not sure what the technical Adobe term is -- I'm obviously an amateur) to the screen at the beginning of each scene. It can be a text overlay on top of the video, or it can be a blacked out screen (or whatever) with text that lasts a few seconds before each scene begins. I just need something to let the viewer know which lesson they are about to see.
I went through the footage and added scene markers at appropriate places, and the menu is functional. Now I'm looking for the most efficient (least time-consuming) way to accomplish my goal. It looks like one alternative is to manually split the clips at each scene change, then go to sceneline and insert a title between each scene, then manually type in the text that corresponds to my description of each scene. I hope this isn't the only, or the most efficient way.
Anyone know a simpler alternative? The simpler the better, as only a few people will be using the dvd so I don't want the cost (measured in editing time and effort) to outweigh the benefit of viewer convenience. Thanks in advance.

I agree with Steve G. on adding the Titles from the PrE Titler function. Also, being new to PrE, this article on Titler might be useful, before you get tripped up by a few aspects of a New Title: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4976998#4976998

How to create links that guide you to a specific title on the page and not the beginning of the page?

I'm trying to create links so that when you click on a title in the table of contents it guides you to the title on the specific page. However, when I do that it always sends me to the beginning of the page even if the title is in the bottom. Anyone knows how to do if I want to get to the title and not to the beginning of the page? When I use Finereader it create links from the table of contents automatically and those links send me to the title no mater where it is on the page. I've tried do edit the settings to look like those links created in Finereader but it doesn't work.
I'm using Adobe Acrobat XI on a Mac Book Air.

Title and image at the beginning of video pixelated

Am a bit puzzelled about a sudden pixelation of titles and still images at the beginning of a video. I'm working on a small video and would like to start it with a company logo (PSD file) and some simple text (made in FCP with the 'Text' effect). Before rendering everything looks good, but after rendering, the very first frame of the video (the title) becomes very pixelated. I've done this many times before and never had any issues, so really don't know what's going on.
I read about the bug in FCP 7.02 with using still images at the beginning of a sequence (and then renaming all clips) - does this has something to do with it?
Thanks.

Hi there,
All elements in EA always appear over the entire timeline...unless you tell them not to do so. Try using Display keyframes to show and hide elements over time.
You can also use Opacity keyframes in the same way, or even position the image outside of the Stage bounds, if you prefer to do it one of those ways.

GREP: Bolding a title in quotes at the beginning of a paragraph

Hi,
I trying to use GREP within a paragraph style to bold the title of a listing at the start of a paragraph. I want to limit it to the first set of quotation marks, and leave any other characters within quotes in that paragraph un-bolded.
I used the expression below, which i thought would start at the beginning of a paragraph (^), left quotation mark (~{), any character, any number of times (.+), followed by a right quotation mark (~}), followed by a space (\s), zero or one times, shortest match (+?).
^~{.+~}\s+?
Unfortunately, it bolds everything through the next right quotation mark. (See sample below).
What can I add to the expression to restrict the GREP to find just the first set of quotes? These would be titles that may have multiple words or numbers in the title.
Thanks in advance!

If you want to use GREP, try this one:
^".+?"
or delete the space from yours
^~{.+~}
I can't say why, but your expression worked as soon as I took the space out of play.

Adjusting the beginning title of a thread

I was wondering if the moderators could add the work "audible noise" to the beginning title of the following thread to help clear up the difference between signal noise and the actual "audible noise" being experienced by the users posting here. In talking to people, they are seeing "noisy" as denoting a signal, not the actual problem of hearing a buzzing sound coming from the AEBS unit itself.

How to insert a black space at the beginning of a timeline

Hi guys,
Sorry for the stupid question....I only bought FCPX yesterday.
I have figured out how to drop an audio file into the timeline and add some title effects to the beginning. But now i want to add a black space at the beginning.
Is there an easy way to do this that I have simply missed - I have spent several hours trying to find a way to do it...
Thanks in advance for your help
Best regards,
Craig

Thanks everyone for the help - really appreciate it !!
I didn't know that there could only be one "correct" answer - so sorry to Tom if I have done this incorrectly. I was too excited that both answers worked for me that I didn't really concentrate hard enough on whose idea it was - I thought I could mark them both as correct.
Next time I will take more time for a considred response.
Thanks again everyone - you really helped me out.
Cheers,
Craig

My story file stuck a blank page 1 at the beginning.

How do I get rid of a blank page 1 at the beginning of my story file? It won't let me get rid of it.

I'm having the same problem, only it's the page immediately after the title page. Everything had been working beautifully with Adobe Story but coincidentally, when I got on Adobe Story this morning, it asked to update. Is this just a coincidence?
Also, this glitch is several years old, per previous forums. Was it ever fixed???
I tried both copy and cutting and pasting to that second page to work around it. Instead, it added some of the beginning of the script to the title page and did not paste the rest of the script, however, it did paste this same peice on the second page. I couldn't edit this either, nor delete it. I could only undo to get back to the original problem.

[SCORE] How to make an unfinished bar at the beginning of a song?

I'm working on a song and I'm trying to get the score right.
The song has an unfinished bar in the beginning; the song is in 4/4 but the very first note starts at the 4th count of the first bar. In the score, Logic automatically puts in a breve rest followed by a quarter rest (interpretation is on), but that's not what I want. At the end of the song, the "missed" notes complement the first bar (so it's in fact a 3/4 bar).
My problem is that I can't look it up in the manual nor internet, because I don't know the proper English word for it (it's called "opmaat" in Dutch). Online dictionaries aren't helping me either... Sorry for that!
I can of course set the signature of the 1st bar to 1/4 and make the last 3/4, but then you see the signature change as well in the score.I guess there most be another way to make an "opmaat". Does somebody know this?
Thanks in advance!

On the contrary ...!
how do I dedicate a staff style just to the extra region at the beginning of the song?
1 - Do you have a region that starts at the very beginning of the Track? Say bar 1?
2 - Assuming you have a region starting from the very beginning of the song. Cut that existing region at the Right Hand point where you want your 'extra region at the beginning of the song' to end. This should now fit exactly to the rest of the Region on that Track, and when you open the Score Editor there will be a continuous stave of music.
3 - This now can be treated as a discrete Region in its own right. Open the Score Editor on that Region and change the Staff style by going to Layout>Staff Styles
4 - Click on New and a menu will open with a list - from that list select Duplicate - this will give you the same Staff Style as that instrument that was already on that Track.
5 - Double Click the name and Type in your own Name ..say *Piano NEW* - then be sure to TAB out of the box.. Logic 8 does not allow you to change the name if you just click somewhere else. You can then make the changes necessary to that Staff Style as per my example ( ie no Rests)
6 - You will then find that Piano New appears in the list of Staff Styles for use in any other situation.

Building iDVD project - white flashes at the beginning of each scene during playback?

I am building a DVD project with multiple movies. I used the Bronze Wedding in the "old themes" menu, which was less problematic than the 7.0 themes. When I click on the segment to play, there is a moment (probably just 1 frame) of white that flashes before the segment starts playing. This is not in my original Final Cut Express movie, and it happens in every segment, not just at the beginning of each movie.
I used Final Cut Express v.4.0.1, iDVD v.7.0.4 and the entire amount of footage on the project (3 separate movies) lasts a total of 1 hour and 17 minutes.
Any ideas what this flashing white screen is?

Hi
How did You go from FCE/P to iDVD ?
I do
FCE/P to iDVD
Several things
• How to go from FCE/P to iDVD
• Free space on Start-up hard disk
• Encoding
• Brand and type of DVDs used
• Burn speed set
• iDVD BUG
• Chapters
How to go from FCE/P to iDVD I do
• Disable Screen and Energy saver
• IMPORTANT --> FIRST in FinalCut - Mix Down Audio under Sequence Menu / Render Only / Mixdown
• Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
• Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
• Not as Self-Contained (not important but saves time and space)
• NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)
This QT.mov file I import into iDVD from within iDVD.
Free space on Start-up hard disk
I set a minimum of 25GB (for Mac OS and iDVDs temp files)
Encoding
• I use Pro Quality encoding
Brand and type of DVDs used
• I use Verbatim
• I use DVD-R
Burn speed set
• I set down this to x4 (or x1)
iDVD BUG
• One can not go back to movie-project for any alterations and then go back to
the iDVD project. It will notice and ask You to either Up-date or Cancel. Neither
of them will work.
Medicine - Start a brand new iDVD project.
Use of Chapters
• I only use a to z and 0 to 9 in naming them. NO other symbol/letter !
• NO Chapter-mark at very beginning - iDVD NEEDS TO set this by it stlf
• No Chapter marks in or within two seconds from a transition
(Way around this last one - Export movie as QT full quality and NO Chapter marks
Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
them except at very beginning - still)
Material used to build movie
• video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this eg .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
• audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
• photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
Trash iDVD pref file and run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.
from post ??
May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screensaving

Title of the browser displaying a report output through web.show_document

Hiya
We are using Oracle Forms 10g 10.1.2.0.2
All our Forms and Reports are working well.
We are using Java Script in Web.Show_Document so that when the report is displayed on the screen in the browser, the browser's toolbar and menubar should not be visible.
The code looks like this:
v_url_in := 'reports/rwservlet' || '/getjobid' || v_job_id || '?server='|| 'my_rep_server';
v_url_out := 'javascript:window.open("'||v_url_in||'", " ", "toolbar=no,menubar=no");self.close();';
Web.Show_Document (v_url_out, '_blank');
The above code is working absolutely fine. No issues about this.
Now when the report opens in a new browser window,the title of the browser window reads as follows:
http://<hostname>:8889/reports/rwservlet/getjobid1234?server=my_rep_server - Microsoft Internet Explorer
So rather than displaying the title of the browser window as the URL of our Application Server, we want to show the title to Reports name so that it
reads as
'Customer Sales Summary Report - Microsoft Internet Explorer'.
Does anyone has any idea if it is possible to change the title of the browser window, if so, how ?
Cheers
Mayur

Mayur,
I'm not a web developer either, however, I've done this kind of thing using the HTP database package - as I mentioned. What you could do is write a database procedure that accepts the URL and the Title as parameters and let the procedure open the URL for you. For example:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE show_url(p_url VARCHAR2, p_title varchar2) AS
BEGIN
   htp.htmlOpen;
   htp.headOpen;
   htp.htitle(p_title);
   htp.headClose;
   htp.bodyOpen( cattributes => 'onLoad="WinOpen()"');
   htp.bodyOpen;
   htp.script(clanguage => 'javascript',
                cscript => ''
   htp.bodyClose;
   htp.htmlClose;
END;I was unable to test this procedure on my Oracle XE install, but it should work on a non-XE database.
Hope this helps.
Craig...

IPod does not play music from the beginning

Hi there!
The music is properly good on the hard disk of the PC.
The music is imported into iTunes, where it played well from the beginning.
On the iPod, the music is also available.
When playing the music now as follows:
The title starts 6-10 seconds from the start, just after this time the song is played from the beginning, for about 6-10 seconds, then the title is a play on. Then from 12-20 sec from the beginning.
I hope the wording is somewhat understandable.
Thx for help!
PS: "Remember Position" is not enabled; Start time on each track is 0:00

Good evening everyone!
The problem is solved.
It was because of the ZoneAlarm firewall software!
Somehow, the music is cut up by plan no why ...
Firewall uninstalled, delete music from iTunes and the iPod, newly imported gesyncht = works
Thank you very much for your attention!
