Working with multiple idvd projects?

Can I have more than one idvd project open at the same time?
I have been making a mixture of movies/slideshows in imovie. Usually they save fine when I share etc... but sometimes they stall on playback but the audio keeps running.
Anyway I have discovered that I can send the imovie file to idvd quite easily, but when I try to repeat this step with a different imovie a new idvd project opens an I am prompted to save the old one (that I sent the previous imovie to). So how do I send the imovie files to the SAME idvd project instead of a new one each time?
Hope I am making sense here.
I would like to be able to open more than one idvd project and work on each of them simultaneously, and copy / paste movies/ slideshows into each (like you can do in imovie).
Is there a way I can do this?
Thanks

Hi w
I don't use the "Share/Export to iDVD" function within iMovie at all. (more down)
A. When edited. Close iMovie
B. Localize Your movie project icon (with a Star on it)
C. Start iDVD. Now import or just drop the movie project icon into iDVD.
More movie projects - cont to import those (or drop them here too)
Why I don't use the built in function. iMovie renders and does ba bad job if You included photos into
Your movie and not using Ken-Burns effect (I don't)
• The DVD will be severely pixelated - BUT WORSE -
• Your original movie project in iMovie WILL BE HARMED. You'll have to re-import Your photos
and re-edit them into Your movie.

  • Can iDVD 09 open and work with an iDVD project i made in 06?

    I am bringing over my iMovie 06 and iDVD projects over to new mac with iDVD 09. I took out iMovie 09 and resinstalled 06HD. The iMovie 06 files now open ok, but not the iDVD 06 projects, when I try to open them with iDVD 09. Should I remove iDVD 09 and install iDVD 06.
    I heard that iMovie 06 files will import ok into iDVD 09, but now assuming that the iDVD 06 projects themselves will not open in the newer program.

    i uninstalled iDVD 09 and installed iDVD 06 to see if I could open the G4's old iDVD projects.
    Error message says iDVD 06 will not work with this OS. What gives? Apparently iMovie HD06 will work, as far as I can tell, with just a few tests.
    What CAN I DO HERE to bring over my iDVD 06 projects so I can work them on Snow Leopard?
    Luckily the dvd projects are not many and not complex. But there are so many issues with all of this. I might as well have a computer that knows only Chinese characters. I got the new mac so my video work wouldnt clog up on the old G4. But this is beyond clog. This is cement, stuck at the starting gate.

  • Problem when working with multiple sequences

    Dears,
    In order to make life easier (I am currently working on a rather long project), I work with multiple sequences, one per chapter.
    My problem: I named one sequence "assembly sequences" in order to add the various sequences. I dropped the sequence no 1, then no 2. All works fine, beside that when playing the sequence no 2, I see two black lines on top and bottom of the screen for the all length of the sequence. Which is not the case when I click on the sequence itself and play it independently.
    Any idea how to solve this ?
    Thanks
    Nic

    Thanks, what happened is that :
    1st sequence is like this : Frame size 720x576 pixels, video rate 25fps, Compressor DV-Pal. And I think it is the one appropriate for me and my country.
    2nd sequence is like this : Frame size 720x480 pixels,
    video rate 29.97 fps, Compressor DV-DVPRO-NTSC.
    I think I should change the second sequence setting, but can I do it after all the work I have done, and continue making a 3rd, 4th and so on ?
    Tx for your precious help,
    Nicolas

  • Maintain performance while working with multiple shape layers (~50 )

    Hey guys, I've been working on some projects lately where I need to animate a lot of shape layers cascading, arraying, with various animation properties. When I get to the point of using 30-60 or so shape layers, and they're all doing some kind of scale, position, etc. animations, my computer slows to a complete crawl. This then forces me into using a single shape layer and the repeater functions. These can work well sometimes, and don't hamstring the flexibility too much, UNTIL you need to incorporate varying colors. At that point, I usually switch my shape layers to masks and place a layer below with varying colors as needed. The shape animations then reveal those colors, but this doesn't work for a complex object that in itself requires many colors. Sooo...
    What kind of workflows do you all have for working with multiple semi-complex objects at once? I figure I must be missing something, because this has gotten really limiting. Is everyone just working with 256GB of RAM?
    FYI, my computer specs are:
    2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
    32 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC
    ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB
    OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
    Thanks!!

    Pre-comping can speed up your previews if you are using disk cache, but nothing will speed up  your first ram preview or a ram preview after a keyframe change except a better optimized system. All it takes to slow things down is one effect or a footage file that causes AE to start consuming memory and processor power.
    As a test I just created a gradient filled rectangle, added rotation keyframes, duplicated the layer so I have 64 copies on my Mac Mini and tried a ram preview compared with the same comp with only 1 layer. Almost no difference in the time it took to preview 10 seconds. Threw in a scale transform for all layers and again, not much difference between one shape layer and 64. To make things much harder I change the rectangle to a Polystar and animated everything in the Polystart transform properties, set up a composition with 128 duplicates and a comp with one layer. 2.5 seconds for a ram preview at quarter rez for a single layer, 10 seconds for a ram preview for 128 layers. That's more than acceptable to me for a two year old Mac Mini with 16 gb of ram. Increasing the zoom factor to 50% with Resolution set to Auto doubled the ram preview time which was still acceptable.
    This makes me wonder what else is going on in your composition. Any effects or other things going on? Have you optimized your system for maximum performance? There are links with suggestions for doing that all over this site as well as the Adobe recommendations found here: Optimizing After Effects Performance

  • Working with Multiple Files in Workspace Layout

    If I was working with multiple files in the workspace layout, they each used to be available for selection from a tab.  Now I can either cascade the files horizontally or vertically - but not have them appear in a tab across the top of the workspace layout.
    Does anyone know how to set the workspace to present multiple files in tabs?  I have CS3.

    Tanya,
    This may not help, but the times when that happens to me is when I go too fast and some operations haven't finished. I then try to select a file that hasn't completed and the file I select is in the process of having the data updated. The worst is when it is trying to render as I am doing something.
    I hope this helps some.

  • Working with  multiple layers in CS 3 ?

    In order to work with multiple layers in cs3, I first need to open few images to work with,and when I open few images it only shows last image that I opened.Frist images can't be seen in workspace, and when I open new document I can't see not even one photo I opened?

    try tapping the F key a few times until you get to the screen mode that allows you to see all image windows.

  • Why is scrolling not working with multiple youtube embeds layed out vertically in a stack on one page?

    Why is scrolling not working with multiple youtube embeds layed out in a stack on one page?

    Hi ,  
      This is a sort of performance issue , because your program takes more than the max time set for the program to execute in foreground.
    There are many stuff in program which will hamper your performance.
    I will list down a few
    1. SELECT *
    FROM konp
    INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE konp_itab
    FOR ALL ENTRIES IN a363_itab
    WHERE knumh EQ a363_itab-knumh
    in this statement you are using for all entries a363_itab , but before this statement you are not checking if the table has any entry or not , please do remember that for all entries has this characterstic , that if you internal table does not contain any record , then all the records are selected from the database table. So in this case if you table a363_itab is empty , so what you want is no data must be seelcted from table konp , but what will happen is all the records in KONP will be seelcted.
    2. While retreiving data you are using seelct * even though you do not require all the fields , an example is
    <b>SELECT *
    FROM mkpf
    INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE mkpf_itab
    FOR ALL ENTRIES IN mseg_itab
    WHERE mblnr EQ mseg_itab-mblnr.</b>
    in this your internal table contains only 2 fields
    <b>mblnr LIKE mkpf-mblnr, "Number of Material Document
    bldat LIKE mkpf-bldat, "Document Date in Document</b> , but to get these 2 fields you are selecting all the fields of the table.
    3. In select you are using into corresponding fields of table , it is not a good practice., so please avoidd it.
    Please understand that you must try to reduce the access to your database tables and try to keep it minimal , because this same thing may happen becasue data in DEV is very less compared to the volume of data in production , so a program working in DEV will take much more time in PRD if not written properly and may result in timeouts , as in your case.
    Please try to make chanegs to the prorgam and see if it works.
    In case you have more queries , please do revert back.
    Regards
    Arun

  • When working with multiple artboards, are there separate layers panels for each artboard?

    Just started working with multiple artboards in ai but have read nothing about the layers panel, whether you use one layers panel for all the artboards or if the layers panel is duplicated so there is one for each artboard.

    I don't really understand your problem, but I've had headaches with managing a GUI before (as many programmers have, I'm sure).
    My best advice, if the scheme your using to build and manage a GUI is too confusing for you, the programmer, to easily understand/manage, change the scheme. Even if this means recoding a good deal of your program (though, hopefully, you've kept the GUI as seperate from your functional code as possible) it should be worth it.
    Perhaps a clearer explination of your problem would help better illustrate your problem?

  • Working with Multiple Projects

    I recently started working for a company that has multiple
    webhelp projects created in robohelp v6. The projects are linked
    together under a shell merge so the TOC will display correctly. We
    have upgraded to v7 and will be converting all the projects over.
    What I would like to do is bring all the projects together
    under a "super" project which will allow me to run one report and
    search all "subprojects" while still allowing people to work on the
    individual projects at the same time (checking them out through
    source control).
    Is this possible? If so, how do I do it?

    Welcome to the forum.
    What do you mean by "shell merge" other than merged webhelp?
    Merged webhelp merges at runtime so at the authoring end each
    project is unique which means the RH reports relate to just one
    project. No way I know of getting RH to report across the whole
    merge.
    If you are using source control, you don't need merged
    webhelp to allow different authors to work on different topics. The
    rationale for merged webhelp would be delivering different output
    combinations to different end users.
    Bring all the projects into one though could be interesting
    if there are cross project links as their relationship would
    change.
    If it ain't broke, don't fix it seems like good advice.
    There's a topic on merged webhelp on my site. It is based on
    X3 dialogs but the methods are still valid including for RH7,

  • Related Link doesnt work with Multiple Helpsets

    Robohelpx4.1 is used as the authering tool to generate our help files in OHW format. We have different projects creating one helpset file each and it is merged in the ohwconfig.xml. Each helpset has its own link,map,index,Toc files created by robohelp. The link file created by robohelp has the linkitem id created in seq order and names as Link01,Link02,Link03..... .
    The link file of other helpset also has the same structure and ids. (The linkitem id's are not unique across the helpsets)
    But the related link doesnt work properly when more than one helpset is configured, for both the options of combined book and separate books. Links get mixed up and shows topics of other links.
    Is there anyway this can work ?

  • Print to pdf often doesn't work with multiple pages?

    When I try to print to pdf, it often doesn't work right.
    I can select, for example, multiple Excel worksheets to print. It looks fine with 4 pages in Preview, but when I select save as .pdf, it only prints 2 of the 4 pages, and it prints those in 2 separate documents rather than a single .pdf document with multiple pages.
    Is there a way to do this? Is this an Apple error or Microsoft error? Since it looks fine in Preview, my guess it is an Apple error?
    Mark

    It sounds like this is the problem with the way Apple handles multiple orientations in a pdf document. You can use Acrobat to print the files - it handles multiple orientations correctly. There was a previous thread on this:
