Titles on Scene Selection Menus

I have my movie completed and I used garageband to creat chapter markers. I shared it from garageband to idvd and things are working fine. I am using the Revolutions theme from the idvd 08. On the main page, I was able to change the title of the movie which in turn changed the animated text to the same as it spins. All was good. However, when I went to the scene selection pages, I am not able to change the animated text and all it says is "Chapters Revolution" as it spins around. How do I change it or at least get rid of it? Everything else on the scene selection pages are fine.

I'm having the same problem except that I used iMovie '06 to create the movie and create titles.
Using the same Revolution Theme, my chapter pages don't have any still "Chapters Revolution" to click on. How do I change mine?

  • Some of my scenes selection menus won't turn or play sound.

    My main menu and the first scene selection menu has motion and sound, but the rest of the scene selection menus do not turn or play sounds (music).  How can I get them to work?

    First create a disk image of the project and see if those menus work as expected when played with DVD Player on your Mac.  If they do then the problem lies in the burning process.
    Follow the workflow described below to help assure the best quality disk possible:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Way To Make AUDIO On Scene Selection Menus SEAMLESS?

    I've searched and have not found anything that helped.
    I have 4 'pages' in my scene selection menu. I would like for the same audio track to play seamlessly throughout (when shifting from page to page to locate a particular scene).
    In its current state, the audio starts over each time that you move to a new... erm...'page' (what's the correct term here?), and I find the lack of continuity or, at the very least, transition to be a bit jolting and quite irritating.
    Anyone know if there is a way to carry the same audio track throughout?

    You cannot do this by just selecting the audio in the first scene selection (submenu) because each submenu plays alone, and the length of the audio played depends on how long the menu is displayed. The length of time the scene selections play, and thus the audio, is determined by the viewer--you cannot control this. If your audio clip is short, only 15 seconds or so, it will repeat continuously until you (or someone) clicks on the arrows to go to another submenu or clicks on the scene to play it.
    You could choose just a portion of the audio you wish to play, say the first 30 seconds, and then choose the second 30 seconds to play on the second menu and so forth. You would have to use an app like Wiretap to record the poarticular portions you want for each submenu. Then, if one viewed the submenus for exactly 30 seconds, the music would be close to playing 'seamlessly.' But, the viewer has the option of keeping the submenu displayed for an indefinite length of time, so each 30 second snipet would just repeat itself.
    Hope this is clear to you

  • Creating Addition Scene Selection Menus

    I have a group of 10 small videos that I want to place on a submenu, well actually two submenus which you can access with the "back and forth arrows" at the bottom of the DVD screen. How can I create this effect?
    I can create two submenus easily, but I don't want their to be say 5 videos on one screen and the 6th to be a link/button to the other page with five more videos. I want 6 videos on the first page and a right arrow to appear at the bottom which proceeds to the next page/submenu containing the other 4 videos.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    For example, in your last "page" (with the red 3), there is a left arrow at the bottom to go back to the previous page. Well I want to create a right arrow to go to the next page, and thus not using up one of the 6 object/video spots on the page.
    Short of what was suggested above, I think you may found a limitation within iDVD6 ..... Sounds like you will need DVDSP to do what you wish correctly (many more options in apple's top end/ pro apps). Good luck on this and if I happen to find an alternate option I will make sure and post back.

  • Adding scene selection button

    How do I add a button that links to the scene selection on the disc menu?

    When you add Scene Markers to your Timeline, PrE will automatically add the link from a Scene Selection Button (from either the Main Menu, or a Scene Selection Menu, depending on the chosen Template) automatically, and will even create any necessary Scene Selection Menus, to accommodate the number of Scene Markers that you have.
    In PrE, such linking is done automatically, and requires not input from the user, beyond the creation of those Scene Markers, and the choice of Menu Template.
    In many other authoring programs, and especially full-featured programs, like Adobe Encore, those links ARE done manually.
    Good luck, and hope that helps,
    Hunt

  • Scene Selection problem

    Ok.. Everytime I try to export my video out of final cut pro with markers... and trust me I have done many ways... I try importing my video into idvd and it just inports the video... No scene selection.... I have done this before just the same as I'm doing now with the same computer and everything but nothing.... Anybody have any ideas of whats going on????

    Open the exported QuickTime movie in QT Player, do you see the chapter markers (a pop-up menu below the viewer)? If it is, then the export from FCP is fine. If not,then something is missing.
    Check the iDVD's Preferences, is the "automatically create scene selection menus" enabled?

  • Scene Selection / Easter egg conflict

    I have a hidden easter egg movie on one of my scene selection menus. When I burned the DVD, and selected the easter egg, everything played normally. However, after playing the movie, if I move the selection to an actual scene, then it plays the easter egg movie again, and not the scene that I select. It does this even if I change screens to a different scene selection page and choose one of the other scenes. Has anyone else out there had this problem? Thanks for your help!

    Moving around buttons in iDVD can cause this kind of thing. Make sure your buttons are not at all crowded they are in reality a bit bigger than they appear on the screen.
    Also check your project in map view to see if it is mixed up on other menu pages.....

  • Scene Selection JPEGs Problem

    I've made an iDVD and used garage band to set up the chapter markers. I then shared the movie with iDVD. The scene selection menu is set up nicely. I have put different images on each scene selection page. The DVD intro page has a different picture too in the back ground. The whole thing looks great when we check it all out on the computer. We burn a DVD and then when we play it on our DVD player/tv an image (jpeg) file that is on a scene selection page shows up on the introduction page of DVD, on top of the image we selected, why? Also, at times when using the "pass through" theme on the scene selection page instead of it having the moving text on the bottom of the page that says "scene selections 1-6" is says "Pass Through Chapters", but not on each page.

    Nope, that wasn't the problem. I have even started with a fresh iDVD project, deleting the original. I am using iDVD '08, but chose the pass through theme from the 7.0. For some reason when the DVD burns it changes the ending photo on the menu page. It changes to one of the images I chose for one of the scene selection menus. I've tried different things and still have the same problem. Is it just a bug or a problem I am having using a 7.0 theme in iDVD '08? I have made quite a few coasters of dvd's that are not how I intended them to look. Also, after importing (sharing) from garage band, the first of three scene selection menus has "pass through chapters" moving across the screen instead of "scenes 1-6" as it should.
    Frustrated here.

  • I bought a movie on iTunes and when it loads up I can only play the bonus features and not the actual film. The title screen is also glitched and merges with the scene selection. I don't think it downloaded properly. what can I do?

    I bought a movie on iTunes and when it loads up I can only play the bonus features and not the actual film. The title screen is also glitched and merges with the scene selection. I don't think it downloaded properly. what can I do?

    It happens sometimes. Delete the current copies, don't hide from iTunes in the cloud if prompted, close iTunes, reopen, download from iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
    While downloading click the download icon at the top right and uncheck Enable simultaneous downloads. You may find it more reliable that way.

  • Chapters and Scene Selections in iDVD?

    How do you create chapters/Scene Selections in iDVD '08? I created a movie in iMovie and now want to create chapters within the movie - so if you put the DVD into a DVD player, you can click on "Susie's 1st birthday party" or "Susie's first trip to the zoo" or "Susie's first Snow Day" which would all be part of the movie, "Susie Turns One". Help.

    How do you ensure that in the automatically generated scene menus the drop zones are in the right order?
    I have exported the chaptered movie from GarageBand directly to iDVD. I have also tried exporting the movie to hard disk first and then importing into iDVD. the scene menus are automatically created as expected and they also contain the correct chapter titles. The drop zones do appear in the correct order. However, when you click on one of the drop zones to highlight it and then use the arrow keys to switch to the next drop zone the ordering appears completely random. Unfortunately, this is also the same ordering that one sees on a DVD player.
    Is there a way to change the order?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

  • 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.

  • IDVD 08 - problem with scene selection tabs not working after "burn"

    I have a movie that is about an hour long (made in iMovie08 using mostly still photos). I wanted to have "chapters" -- but with that option gone, I used the Scene Selection option in iDVD08. This created menus with 15 scene selection buttons (I chose every 4 minutes). The menus were automatically created by iDVD and I did nothing to change them, except to type in scene info (two-three words).
    The buttons all worked fine on the computer, and I burned a DVD. The DVD worked great in my VCR player. I'd select Play Movie and it would go. I'd select Scene Selection and I'd get the menus for that. But when I'd highlight one of the scene selections and "enter" (select) -- it wouldn't go to that scene. I could go back and forth between menus, and could move around and highlight the scene buttons, but selecting would not start the scene to play. The movie played fine from start to finish, and the other remote features worked (stop, pause, menu, etc.).
    I went back to iDVD and chose a different theme (thinking maybe I'd inadvertently done something to mess things up. The only thing I did differently in addition to the new theme, was to add two small movie clips - and I rearranged the buttons on the menu (dragging) to get them positioned where I wanted them. So my first menu says "Play Movie". The second menu has: Play Movie, Scene Selections, Little Movie 1, Little Movie 2. Everything worked greated in iDVD. Then I created a disk image to view using DVD Player (rather than waste another DVD). Same problem -- only worse. This time I couldn't even highlight Scene Selection to get to the scenes' menus.
    Any thoughts on why I'm not able to get the "Scene Selection" buttons to work after a burn? Am I missing a step somewhere in iDVD?
    Thanks.

    I am not sure, but does your post concerning the problem, that all Remote Control function will work properly within iDVD'08 but after burning the DVD absolutely not with the RC of your set top DVD player connected to your TV?
    If this is it:
    Meanwhile I could figure out - after many nights of not been very productive and only working out on all the iDVD'08 problems - that **ALL** of the *7.0 Themes* have a major problem in generally.
    The following points are concerning iDVD'08 using any of the 7.0 Themes:
    - Complete deep freeze of your Mac under Leopard when rendering/coding/burning a movie which has chapters and you use movies instead of still images in drop zones. (LeopardiDVD087.0Themes)
    - Functions on remote control of your set top DVD player are not working correctly when making a movie with chapters. This is generally on Tiger and Leopard the same problem using iDVD08 with any of the 7.0 Themes.
    Quick and dirty workaround:
    You may avoid this if you simply use a 6.0 Theme or lower version of the Themes.
    But this is of course not the clue...
    It is VERY DISAPPOINTING, having software at such a low quality level deliverd by Apple. And somehow it looks like they DO NOTHING against it. No statement, no excuse, they really remain silent.

  • How can I set 'menu' to return to 2nd menu scene selections?

    I have a two page menu. 1. Title page. 2. Scene Selections page. Once we are on the 2nd page, I want the viewer to be able to return to this page when returning from viewing a selection. There is a button on Page 2 to get them back to the main menu if they like.
    Is there a way I can set the 1st menu page so that the viewer will return to it by pushing menu.
    And likewise, set the 2nd menu page so that the viewer will return to IT by pushing menu.
    So each page has a different 'menu' return setting?
    All ears, Ben

    You might be able to do this without scripting anything, Ben - the scripts are reasonably simple, but I know you won't want to get into those just yet!
    One option is to use stories, and there are different ways to achieve what you want to do. For the sake of example, let's assume you have got ten scenes and at the end of each you want to get back to menu 2...
    Create ten stories and add a single chapter into each from your ten available. Set the buttons on menu 2 to point to the corresponding story and then for the story, set the menu call so that you go to Menu 2 and land on the appropriate button. You should set the end jump for each story to also point back to menu 2.
    Now, from Menu1 content, point to the track itself and set the menu call for the track to go back to menu 1.
    When the viewer accesses the footage from Menu 1 and then uses the Menu button they will go back to menu 1. If they navigate to Menu 2 and access a single scene, that scene will play and go back to Menu 2 when done. If they press menu during the scene, they will also get back to menu 2.
    Job done.
    Now, if you want to do this in a better way, you only need to create a single story and drop ALL of your chapter markers into it. This will become the main feature where everything plays. Set the end jump and menu calls to go to Menu1. On Menu 1, set the buttons to target the content insode the story container.
    To get a single scene to play you add end jumps to the chapter markers in the track (click on the marker, look in the property inspector or in the 'Connections' tab). Set the end jumps to Menu2 and the Menu command to Menu 2 as well. From menu 2 you point your buttons to the specific marker.
    This also gets the job done, and neither method needed a script

  • White box over my scene selection arrow!!!

    Does anyone know how to correct this problem? For some reason, this white box has shown up over my "direction right" arrow in the scene selection section of my dvd project. This also shows up after burning and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get rid of it. Thanks for the help! You can find the screenshot here - http://gallery.filefront.com/deathcap//67132/

    Hmmm, not sure about this one.
    Try moving your 'Treasure Island' title away from the arrow.
    Slide it to the left. Also try shrinking the size of your text.

  • Editing Scene Selection Buttons

    I am trying to create a Disc Menu in Premiere Elements 9 but I can't seem to edit the buttons for the scene selections. 
    The basic problem is that the titles for my scenes are a little long so it looks sloppy underneath the video image.  Really, if it would allow me to center the text underneath the video image that appears, that would solve my problem.  If that's not possible, just removing the video image could work as well.  Is there any way to edit these buttons other than just font, size, and color?
    Also, whenever I try to change the font for the "Play All" and "Scene Selection" button on the main page, the text disappears.  Am I doing something wrong?

    Unfortunately, you can not change the alignment of text on a disc menu without opening up the template itself and manually changing it.You can only change the font, style and color for each block of text.
    I don't know why you can't edit the Play All and Scene Selection buttons. You should be able to . At least on most disc menu templates. You may have applied a disc menu template that's the exception -- quite possibly because the text block is locked or is a graphic rather than true text.
