Will iDVD 08 recognize chapter markers from FCE 3.5 HD?

Will iDVD 08 recognize chapter markers from FCE 3.5 HD?
Thanks, Ed

A qualified "yes". Meaning it should work as stated but in practice there are some issues. There are fewer issues with FCE => iDvd6 than there currently are with iLife'08. I don't have a good explanation for this.
Btw, this is strictly an observation on my part from reading this forum. Keep in mind I do not own / work with FCE but rather with FCP => DVDSP as well as with apple's i-Apps.

  • Will Compressor 4 recognize chapter markers from FCPX?

    With the latest updates to FCPX, I am now considering giving it a try. There is one more function that is critical for my work, and I can't find and answer for it. If I make chapter markers on the timeline in FCPX, then use Compressor 4 to compress it to .m2v files for DVD, do the chapter markers carry through, like they do with FCP7 and Compressor 3.5?

    Currently, markers don't get transfered from FCPX to Compressor. Hopefully that will get fixed in a future update.
    While we're waiting for that to happen, you can use this app to convert markers from a FCPX xml file to a .txt file that you can import into compressor. It's not the easiest solution, but it works.

  • Lost chapter markers from QuickTime movie in iDVD '08

    I have edited a movie in Final Cut Express 4 and exported it to a Quicktime movie. I put in four chapter markers in FCE, and these appear perfectly in the QT movie. When I import this into iDVD 7, there are the correct number of buttons on the scene selection menu, but they all open the movie at exactly the same place.
    Is there any way to make iDVD open them properly?

    j/c .... are there more than 36 chapter markers / sceenes in your FCE movie?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA40250?viewlocale=en_US
    if the above simply doesn't apply, then might you have any of these chapter markers located within 2 seconds of the start or end of your QT movie?
    might there be any chapter markers located within a transition?

  • Keep chapter markers from fcp 7 to dvd studio 4

    might've posted this before...
    ive used iDVD for a while and know the preference for the chapter markers from FCP 7 to iDVD.  finally using Studio pro trying to firgure out about automatic chapter markers.  I edited it in FCP X and exported it to make the chapters in FCP 7
    I have a few different format files
    from FCP 7
    8.03 gig DVD studio chapter marked
        8.03 gig compression marked
    then in compression
    best quality 90 min DVD
    A dolby Digital Pro 2 says "the destiation does not have read/write access"
    or the mpeg 2     6.2mbps 2 pass      """"""
    then I tried using individual clips from fcp 7 in/out export feature, but that seems to to be to large
    how should i fix this annoying issue

    I'm talking about Compressor.
    Compressor wants a destination to which to send an output file. Unless otherwise specifiedm the default destination is Source. That means it will be written to wherever (drive>folders path) the source file was stored.

  • Exporting Chapter Markers from FCPX

    In FCP7 I can export my master file with it's chapter markers to a new movie file ready for DVDStudioPro.
    How do you export chapter markers from FCPX?
    Also, FCP7 allows you to export without making a self contained movie file that DVDStudioPro can use to burn the DVD.
    Is it possible to export from FCPX without making a self contained movie file? 
    If so, how?
    Thank you for your help.

    If you're going to DVD Studio Pro, it will need to transcode to mpeg-2 at some point.  If you exported a referenced QT movie from FCP7 previously, then DVD Studio Pro was doing the transcoding for you.
    In FCPX, I suggest exporting using Compressor 4.  Apply the DVD preset (mpeg2 video and dolby digital audio) and you can also apply chapter markers within Compressor.
    Import the 2 resulting files into DVD Studio Pro and no further transcoding (other than menus) will need to be performed when you burn the disc.

  • My photoshop cs5 will not recognize raw photos from my canon eos 70d

    my photoshop cs5 will not recognize raw photos from my canon eos 70d

    No.  DNG is a RAW format.  There are a few small manufacturer specific items that are left out when converted to RAW (for example, Nikon's Active D lighting) that aren't maintained, as well as some Meta data and focus points, etc.  Personally I never noticed the difference, but perhaps some do.  There is no impact to the image quality, you have just as much post production freedom with DNG.
    I did it for a couple years before upgrading to CS6.  It's an extra step, but you get used to it and it's not a huge deal.  I would put my card in my reader, and download to a temp file.  While that downloaded I would go to the fridge and grab a beer [Edit - you can substitute the beverage of your choice ].  Then I would run the RAW to DNG converter, and drink my beer.  It was usually done before my beer (if not I got another).  I saved the CR2 files as a backup at first, but once I got comfortable trusting DNG I stopped doing that.
    Another option is to get Lightroom and use that for your developing.  You can then send over a TIFF file with the edits.  But in this situation you couldn't send the image over as a smart object (I think, I assume this would use ACR?).

  • Elements 11 will not recognize raw files from  Nikon D610

    Elements 11 will not recognize raw files from Nikon D610. I have downloaded ACR 8.2 and DNG converter to no avail! Any suggestions? It does recognize files from my D600.

    Support for the D610 was added in the latest release candidate version of Camera Raw, 8.3 RC. You will need to install that version or wait until it is officially released. Your choice.

  • Removing unwanted chapter markers from m2v files

    I inadvertantly left some unwanted chapter markers in FC sequences which I then exported as m2v files. Is there any way to remove the chapter markers from the m2v files so I don't have to re-render to m2v? I have lots of files!

    The original files were edited in FCP, then edited in Motion to add graphic overlays. From there, they were rendered as m2v using Compressor.
    The chapter markers are all visible in both FCP and Motion, but both of those options require re-rendering from the source file type back to m2v. This is a time consuming step that I'm hoping to avoid by, somehow, removing the chapter markers from the m2v file itself.
    I just need to know if there is any way to remove a chapter marker from an m2v file.

  • Exporting "Selected Clips" and iDVD Chapter Markers from iMovie

    I've tried exporting "selected clips" from iMovie . The iDVD Chapter Markers do not appear as a menu option on the initial iDVD menu screen when "selected clips" is checked in the iMovie Share option. The chapter markers are limited to the clips I'm exporting. The "Share" dialog box seems to indicate that Chapter Markers should export but they don't. // I'm trying to break up a movie that's too long for a DVD (but I will later share to video from iMovie). I'd prefer not to make two iMovie projects out of this. Thanks!

    Hello, John,
    Welcome to the discussions.
    You can either do your 'share to video from iMovie' before or after creating your iDVDs. But, you will need to create a second iMovie if yours is too long for one DVD and you are wanting to make 2 DVDs from the one long movie.
    To make the second one before sharing the entire movie:
    Select the clips you want in the second movie, then go to 'Edit' and 'Copy'.
    Then, select 'New' iMovie. When it opens, give it a name like "Part2" and then 'Paste' your selected clips. Save the movie, then go back to the first one. Delete the clips you just copied.
    Close iMovie. Open your DVD project. Find the 'Media' tab, go to 'Movies' and drag and drop your first movie into iDVD. Finish the iDVD project. Save and close.
    Then, create the second iDVD project for your second movie in the same way.
    Do 'save as disk image' for each iDVD project. That way your project is intact for each one, and you will not lose anything when you change the iMovies. You can burn your DVDs from the disk images.
    Now, go back to your second iMovie. Select the clips and copy. Close that movie and open the first one. Paste the second set of clips. Now you have your original movie back and can do your share to video from it. Delete the second movie.

  • How do I export from Compressor 4 to iDVD with chapter markers?

    I get that Final Cut Pro X does not create chapter markers.
    I send it to Compressor 4 to do this.
    Ok, so far, so good.
    How do I export this so that I can then author the DVD to include a menu page, etc?
    Do I do this in iDVD?  If so, what format, as I see that iDVD does not import MPEG-2.

    Don't use the DVD preset in Compressor. Use an MPEG4 format or maybe even AppleTV preset.
    This Apple Support Article might help a little.

  • IMovie to iDVD re:Chapter Markers

    I have been working on a video for the past few weeks and using iMovie '09 I assembled the clips, added audio and added in chapter markers as well. I have tried to Share>iDVD and Share>Media Browser and both options do not show my chapter markers. The video I am working on is 1:42:21 so yes... fairly long but not TOO long for one DVD or anything like that.
    When I drag random clips into a new project (all of 41 seconds) and add chapter markers I can Share>iDVD and the markers come up fine in iDVD but when I try to do the same with my 1hr+ movie it takes about 2:30 hours to render and then I still get no chapter markers. I feel like I am spinning my wheels and there is definitely a way to make this happen.
    Is there an iDVD or iMovie master out there who can help me out? I am getting very frustrated and have probably tried about 10-15 times (rendering at 2-4 hours each!) I don't understand WHY the chapter markers will show up for the short video and I do everything the same for the long video and get nothing. PLEASE HELP!

    Hi appleNewbie34
    And welcome to apple discussions. All of my own iDvd'09 projects to date have been well under 60 mins. so I don't know how much help I can offer you on this particular issue of a dvd that approaches nearly 2 hrs. You claim that your shorter projects have no chapter marker issues. Exactly how long /short were those initial projects and did they incorporate the same type of video? Or did the source video also change on these longer projects?
    Here's what I was able to find and hopefully some of this will help but if not just come on back.
    First, I'd recommend you delete all encoded assets. Let's start again (even though you may have already done this many times before).
    Second I'd like you to quit iDvd.
    Third, drag and drop the plist for iDvd to the trash. Looks like this:
    com.apple.iDvd.plist
    Fourth, Restart your mac.
    Fifth, repair permissions from apple's disc utility.
    Sixth, fire up iDvd Also please make sure all of your titles fall within the TV Safe area like this:
    Click Here:
    Then follow these steps to create a disc image to the desktop:
    Click Here
    Seventh, now I'd like you to test the disc image for proper playback with apple's dvd player application as follows:
    Lastly, let's assume it plays exactly as expected (chapters and all) .... Now it's time to burn the image to Dvd-r. I recommend using Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden, or Maxell. Please avoid using Memorex while we troubleshoot.
    Feel free to post back with the results.

  • Missing Chapter Markers from Final Cut Express

    I have created DVDs with chapters using iMovie and iDVD. No problems. Now I have upgraded to Final Cut Express HD, and I cannot get iDVD to see its chapter markers.
    I have followed the Knowledge Base article to the letter. I was careful to have nothing selected in the time line when applying markers. Following hints in this forum I have tried exporting either Chapter Markers or FCP Markers. I have tried exporting the Quicktime movie self contained or not. I have tried restarting Final Cut Express, which helped when other FCX features locked up after long sessions.
    I'm stuck. Can anyone suggest something else to try?

    Hi Al Q,
    Welcome to the Discussions.
    Suggestion,two things to check:
    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 FCE is okay, otherwise, something is still not correct in FCE.
    Check the iDVD's Preferences, is the "automatically create scene selection menus" enabled?

  • Importing Chapter Markers from FCP

    I create chapter markers in Final Cut Pro and bring the movie into iDVD for mastering. But when I playback the DVD, there are no chapter markers on screen. What should I be doing that I'm not doing?

    Final Cut Express & Final Cut Pro: How to export a movie with chapter markers for iDVD
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42973
    I recommend against using anything but "Chapter Markers" upon export as it has been known to cause issues with previous and current versions of iDVD. Since we don't know exactly why this affects some users and not all users, it is best to avoid the issue altogether and just use "Chapter Markers."
    If you know that you will be sending your footage to DVD SP, then use DVD Studio Pro Markers upon export.

  • Exporting chapter markers from FCP

    I'm trying to export markers from my FCP (Final Cut Studio 2) timeline which I can then use as chapter points in DSP. I have exported the timeline with DSP markers but when I import the .mov into DSP no markers are apparent. Any suggestions.
    Thanks in advance. x

    Hello!
    There is a few options here.
    Personally I would suggest you send your timeline to compressor to encode to mpeg2 for DVDSP.
    If you have placed those markers and made sure they are a <CHAPTER> in the comments section in your marker window, you can click add chapter marker in that window too, then the mpeg 2 will include those in DVDSP project when you import them.
    (the marker window to make sure its a <Chapter> hit the M key when your play head is on the same frame as the marker.)
    Bringing a quicktime into DVDSP has to encode the QT anyway... might as well do it right in compressor.
    if thats not an option you can....
    There is a way to import a "Marker List" but I dont remember how I did it. I just tried making a text edit document which I thought I did but that didnt work.
    I will do some research and post back but I would suggest you encode your Project with chapter markers.
    You can export using quicktime and include chapter makers too.. its a setting in your export options

  • DVDSP not recognizing Chapter Markers from FCP?

    We added Chapter Markers in FCP6. We exported one time with DVD Studio Pro Marker and tried the other time with Chapter Markers. We took it into Compressor and made the file into MPG-2 and imported into DVD Studio Pro, though it does not seem to recognize the chapter markers once in DVD Studio Pro.
    Does anyone have any advice on what I might be doing wrong?
    Thanks!

    Or, just try selecting your sequence in FCP's browser, then go to the file menu and export using Compressor. Choose your setting, your destination, and hit submit. Saves steps, and it will export your complete sequence including chapter markers.
