Using Garageband files with IDVD

I am posting this question again hoping someone can answer. I posted my question in the idvd forum and got zero responses. I used imovie08 and successfully edited a 58 minute movie and published it as a medium sized movie. I then used garageband to add chapter markers and I chose the yes option for ilife preview. I opened idvd and clicked on add movie. From media files I choose the audio files and attempt to drag and drop my garageband movie file into the add movie icon. But nothing happens. Add movie won't take the file from garageband. If I open my media files and use the imovie file that hasn't gone through the garageband chaptering process the file will drop in. But this doesn't give me the chapters that I want. Something I tried in idvd I used the menu view, highlighted that and used the advanced tool to create chapter markers hoping that this would help idvd to recognize my garageband file with previously made chapters. This doesn't work for me.
So what am I doing wrong? I did this process once before and finally after days of trying it worked for me. I chalk that one up to dumb luck. But now I can't repeat the process and have no idea how to get past this problem. I am running a business here and need to get on with this, please someone help me.
Thanks,
Zach

Zach,
Did you choose the option of sending the movie (from GB with the chapters) to iDVD?? Secondly, where is the option for 'iLife preview'?

  • Using ditaval files with XML Author

    I've been evaluating XML Author and am trying to determine how to use ditaval files with it. If I want to save a ditamap as a book for PDF creation, the Prompt for DitaVal File check box is greyed out. Does anyone know why this might be the case? Is the use of ditavals limited to a full implementation of FrameMaker?
    I tried adding PromptForDitaval=1 to the [General] section of the ditafm.ini file to no avail.

    Make sure you are using the latest hotfix for Director (11.5.8) - it is the first to support AS# in Flash. Your SWF members will probably need to be linked to their external files instead of fully imported.
    Or perhaps you're saying that you've met both these conditions and are still seeing problems?

  • Using *.so files with eclipse

    Hey there
    I'm having a little problem compiling an application which uses *.so files with eclipse:
    If I run eclipse from the directory in which the *.so files are present, the application will run.
    However, if I run eclipse from any other directory , the applicationwon't run, stating that the *.so were not found.
    I've placed the path to the directory on my $PATH , and tried to add the following line to the VM variables in the RUN menu:
    -Djava.class.path=<directory _name>
    but to no avail..
    Any ideas?
    Thank You!

    I added it to the LD path, but nothing changed.
    How can I check if eclispe picked up the change?First check that you can now run your program from any directory and then worry about Eclipse.
    Where did you setup the LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

  • Using Word files with audio on a PC

    I was wondering if it were possible for one to use Word files with recorded audio from a Mac on a PC? I'm not sure if it is possible at all, but if somebody knows how to extract the audio, it would be a great help. I used Word 2008 for the Word files.

  • How to use XDCAM files with Premier 4 Trial

    According to everything I have read, using XDCAM files with Premier 4 is easy. It just works. However, it doesn't with me.
    For starters, when I create a new project, there are no XDCAM presets, despite it stating there are in the various documents I have read.
    If I either try to import a file directly or copy it to the hard drive and then import it, I get:
    Error Message
    The importer reported a generic error
    Not very helpful.
    This is a trial version of Premier to try to establish if this product is any good. I did try to contact Adobe but they say they don't support trial users. Not very helpful. Since Adobe are obviously not very interested in selling their products, is there anyone else out there whop can answer this or should I just use Final Cut Pro instead (well if Adobe are not interested in helping a potential customer, what chance is there of being helpful once they have your money???)

    As far as I am concerned, editing XDCAM EX files with CS4 - I have yet to edit XDCAM (HD) files - is as easy as editing DV(CAM) material on my i7 Extreme machine with Vista Ultimate and 12 Gig of RAM.
    I am also pleased to report that the audio bug that beset CS3 when editing XDCAM EX files namely, audio cutting out randomly, is a thing of the past.
    The whole CS4 Suite (including Premiere) has been running very smoothly on my (beefy) machine.

  • "Use RAW files with external editor" greyed out for Photoshop CS2?

    I've just upgraded from iPhoto 5, and the "Use RAW files with external editor" option in the advanced preferences is greyed out when I select Photoshop CS2 as my external editor (back in the General pane).
    It works fine when Preview.app is selected. I can understand that pre-CS2 Photoshop wouldn't be available, but CS2 is capable of editing RAW images.
    Has anyone been able to get iPhoto 6 to send a RAW image to Photoshop CS2 using this preference? I've written an Applescript to do it in iPhoto 5, but I'd rather use something cleaner...
    15" PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Works great with Photoshop Elements, opens with Camera Raw. The issue is you can't save it so that iPhoto gets the changes.
    You have to save it and then re-import. I tried all permutations of saving it in originals and modified folders in the library. No luck. The only thing I didn't try is to save it as a jpeg over the top of the full sized one iPhoto created on import.

  • Using garageband 09 with imovie 09

    new to imove & garageband
    some questions on using garageband 09 with imovie 09...
    - Is there a URL that explains in detail how to use garageband with imove 09 to improve a voice only naration track?
    - Is there a URL that explains in detail each of garage bands effects/audio unit effects on the sound track?
    - is it correct that once you share an imovie to garage band and edit the sound track with garageband you can not "re-share" it back to imovie for video editing?
    - in post production, I am use to doing the following for sound track:
    noise reduction, compression/expansion/limiting, equalization, normalize to -1dB.
    Some have garage band effects have corresponding names, like compression. But, is there a noise reduction?
    Thanks
    Bob

    This might be helpful: http://comtechlab.iupui.edu/tutorialsfolder/tutorials.html
    No URL that explains the effects in depth to my knowledge, maybe one of the books, like Missing Manual or the Apple Certified when it comes out.
    Some high level info here: http://www.thegaragedoor.com/index.html
    Correct, there is no round trip editing. However, you should be able to import the completed movie back into iMovie as a new event and then bring it into a project.
    Not sure there is noise reduction.

  • How to use "choose file with prompt" command?

    I need to use "choose file with prompt" command and I want give user possibility choose ONLY images (jpeg, png, gif). So, I write like this:
    choose file with prompt "Please, choose images for processing..." of type {"JPEG Image"}
    But this doesn't work! - All files (including jpegs) are dimmed, and user can't choose any....
    So, how can I filter JPEGs, PNGs and GIFs?

    I have found, that most of images on my computer has missing file_type, I don't know why..... so "type identifier of (info for (choose file))" also doesn't work properly.
    The only one way that 100% works is use Uniform Type Identifier (UTI) -- details here: http://www.huw.id.au/code/fileTypeIDs.html
    thanks.

    DVD, thanks
    There are many different CODECS used to compress the video in .AVI files - some are Mac QT compatable - some are not.
    I have a small digital movie camera that produces .AVI files compresed in DivX format. Since upgrading to Mac OS 10.4 and QuickTime 7, the ONLY way I have found to use these files in iMovie/iDVD is to convert them to DV stream files using ffmpegX at http://homepage.mac.com/major4/
    To find out the form of video compression used in your .AVI files, open one in QuickTime and select Window>Show Movie Info. What video format is shown?

  • How to use parameter file with java

    Is it possible to use a parameter file with Java, and is there any class/method to make it easy to call and use these parameter from a text file, other than scanning the whole text file manually as we can do normally with visual basic/c++, so we can call the program with the parameter file, like java testing c:\\testing.ini

    If I understand you correctly, you may be looking for a properties file. This is basically a text file that contains pairs of strings in the form:
    parameter1=value1
    parameter2=value2
    parameter3=value3
    ...etc.
    and the values are retrieved using the java.util.Properties class - see:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html
    Sample use://Call chis method once, to load the props file.
    //props file is called "demo.properties", and is
    //in a directory that is included in the classpath
        private void loadMyProperties() throws Exception
         InputStream stream = getResourceAsStream("/demo.properties");
         if(stream == null)
             throw new Exception("stream is null!");
         demoProperties = new Properties();
         demoProperties.load(stream);
         stream.close();
    // Then you can retrieve properties in your code using:
    String param3 = demoProperties.getProperty("parameter3");
    //...etc

  • How to use PDF files with links to other PDF Files

    How to use a PDF file with links to other PDF files that have been transferred to the same folder

    Are you using a mouse, or a trackpad on a laptop? Either way, your cursor is usually an arrow, right? And presumably it's working/moving MOST of the time, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do anything?
    For example, can you move the cursor arrow to the "Annotate" tool to click on it and go into Annotate mode? If so, can you click on the text tool? If so, does the cursor change to a crosshairs? At what point can you NOT move the cursor around the screen?

  • Automator or Applescript using png files with alpha channel

    I have hundred of png files with alpha channel.
    I want to suppress alpha channel.
    How can i do it using Automator or Applescript ?
    Thank you very much.

    You can use the free command line image processing tool ImageMagick in your Applescripts or Automator workflows, as well as from a Terminal shell.
    You can download ImageMagick from http://www.imagemagick.org, but Cactuslab has simplified installation by putting together an installer package. It’s available at  http://cactuslab.com/imagemagick/. Download the package and double-click on it. Follow the instructions to install. It will install ImageMagick into /opt/ImageMagick and add it to your $PATH by creating a file in /etc/paths.d/. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
    The two ImageMagick commands we’re concerned with are “convert” and “mogrify”. Convert is more efficient for multiple and piped operations on the same image file, and mogrify is more efficient for batch processing. Generally speaking, convert will output a file separate from the input file. Unless a path is specified, mogrify will overwrite the input file with the output file. An important distinction.
    You can perform various operations on the alpha channel using arguments after either the convert or mogrify command. Two of the available arguments are:
    -alpha off - Disables the image's transparency channel. Does not delete or change the existing data, just turns off the use of that data.
    -alpha remove - Composite the image over the background color.
    Also of use are the -flatten and -background options:
    -flatten - overlay all the image layers into a final image and may be used to underlay an opaque color to remove transparency from an image.
    -background - sets the background color.
    Start off using the convert command with a single image to see the effect and adjust to your liking. Once you’ve achieved the desired outcome, then use the mogrify command to batch process the chosen images.
    Before getting into how to use Automator or Applescript in your workflow, use Terminal and the command line to see the effect on a single image. Copy one image to your ~/Desktop. In Terminal change the directory to ~/Desktop by typing the following command and pressing the Enter key:
    cd ~/Desktop
    Then choose the option you are looking for, -alpha remove for instance, type the following command and press the Enter key:
    convert input-photo.png -alpha remove output-photo.png
    You can check the alpha channel (transparency) and background in the Preview app, go View > Show Image Background from the menu bar.
    Once you’re ready to batch proces, place all the photos you want to convert with the same command into one folder. Copy the folder to your ~/Desktop. Let’s assume you’ve labeled the folder “InPhotos”. It’s prudent to manipulate copies in case something goes amiss. In that event you can copy the folder with the originals again and start over. Create a new empty folder on your ~/Desktop and call it “OutPhotos”. Let’s also assume your home directory is called “Me”. The following command will process the photos from the InPhotos folder and put them in the OutPhotos folder:
    mogrify -alpha remove -path /Users/me/Desktop/OutPhotos/ /Users/me/Desktop/InPhotos/*png
    According to Apple Technical Note TN2065:
    "when you use just a command name instead of a complete path, the shell uses a list of directories (known as your PATH) to try and find the complete path to the command. For security and portability reasons, do shell script ignores the configuration files that an interactive shell would read"
    So, you need to use the full path to to ImageMagick commands, unlike in the shell where you can just use the command name.
    To batch process using Automator, use the “Run Shell Script” action (note: retain the single space at the beginning of the last line):
    /opt/ImageMagick/bin/mogrify \
    -alpha remove \
    -path /Users/Me/Desktop/OutPhotos/ \
    /Users/Me/Desktop/InPhotos/*png
    To batch process using Script Editor (Applescript), use the “do shell script” command:
    do shell script "/opt/ImageMagick/bin/mogrify -alpha remove -path /Users/pd/Desktop/OutPhotos/ /Users/pd/Desktop/InPhotos/*png"
    Further info on ImageMagick:

    Examples:
    The original PNG image:
    -alpha off:
    -alpha remove:
    -background black -flatten:
    -background blue -flatten:
    -channel alpha -evaluate Divide 2:
