A simple slide show

Hi,
is there a way of selecting a number of photos and showing a full screen "slide show" on my pc monitor? I've tried selecting a number of photos and then using "View full screen", that nearly does what I want but gives inconsistent results, sometimes it runs, sometimes it stops, sometimes it shows unexpected photos.
I tried the "full" slide show thing but I'm just clicking "no" all the time and the result, a wmv, is slow to produce and not good quality to look at.
Thanks,
John

>not to mention recatalogueing (why don't they do migration tools?)
John,
Come back on this one - I don't understand why you conclude you need to recatalog. My catalog upgraded from PSE 3 to PSE 4 and I worked with someone who came from PS Album 2 to PS Elements 4 and their catalog successfully upgraded from PSA 2 to PSE 4.

Trying to get simple slide show to work.

Can anyone tell me why this simple slide show isn't working on the left side of my page? The black and white image should be changing and showing two other images every 2.5 seconds.

Assuming you're following these steps

You seem to have omitted the name attribute in the <img> tag described in Step 3.
I'm still not sure if that fixes it but see how you go.

Simple Slide Show makes all photos landscape. Why?

I am trying to make a simply slide show and all photos are incorporated in "landscape" mode no matter whether they were taken in the usual landscape orientation or in a "portrait," or vertical, orientation. So all the portraits of people where the photo was shot by turning the camera 90 degrees clockwise show the subject horizontally in the slide show. How can I rotate these photos 90 degrees counterclockwise to get them back to the orientation in which they were taken? I opened the Simple Slide Show .PDF in Adobe Acrobat but when I rotate one picture 90 clockwise, all photos in the show are rotated 90 degrees clockwise. John Wirt

Since you said Simple Slide Show, my guess is that you have Elements version 3.
You did not say how if your camera photo files are designating that this was a portrait mode photo. There is an orientation indicator that many (but not all) cameras set indicating that the camera had been turned to portrait orientation when taking the photo.
My experience has been that if the camera is setting this indicator, then when I first view a portrait photo in the photo well, it looks OK. Whereas if the camera does not set this indicator, the photo initially appears on its side and I must rotate it myself.
What did you initially see in the Photo Browser for these photos - as a portrait or on its side?
My suspicion is that there is a bug in the Elements 3 slide show that it is not recognizing this orientation indicator and that is why you see a portrait photo on its side.
If your camera does set the orientation indicator, a circumvention is that before you do any edits on such a photo, in the Organizer Photo Browser well, rotate it 90 degrees one direction and then rotate it back to its original position. Then it will probably appear ok in your simple slide show. This cicrumvention has worked for many people.

Is there a good flash tutorial for a simple slide show?

Basically I want to create a very simple slide show just like
the one on the
main page at www.bv.com
Is there a article or something anywhere so I can learn how
to do this using
Flash? Also is there an article on how to create text that
flys in from the
left or right?

I googled "flash slideshow" and got 25,200,000 returns ;)
www.kirupa.com has one (loads external images)
and www.gotoandlearn.com might have one.

Creating a simple slide show

I'd like to create a slide show using 30 jpeg files. I'd like each slide to pause for 5 seconds before moving to the next one and for it to go in a loop. I would need to be able to save it as a swf file. I'm using Flash professional CC.
I can't find a simple straight forward guide for doing this.
Any help much appreciated.

Put the images along the timeline as I indicated and place the following code in a separate layer in frame 1...
var timer:Timer = new Timer(5000); // creates a timer set to trigger every 5 seconds
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, changeFrames); // creates a listener for when the timer executes
timer.start();
function changeFrames(evt:TimerEvent):void {
     if(currentFrame == 30){
          gotoAndStop(1);
     } else {
          nextFrame();
stop(); // stops at frame 1 for the start of the slideshow

Simple slide show

I am just beginning to learn Flash for work. I want to make a
slide show for my parents' anniversary. Should I do this in Flash
or is that making it more difficult than necessary. I'd like to use
it though to reinforce what I'm learning ? I'll most likely have to
run it on a television.
Thanks in advance.
Gretchen

I wouldn't use flash as a video editing tool (especially for
tv output). Exporting flash to avi (or related dvd media) is
sometimes hit or miss when it comes to quality. Do you have any
actual video editing tools? I would rather use the crappy Microsoft
Movie Maker before flash for a simple slideshow to tv.

Simple slide show, 8 pics disolving, repeat

I'm trying to figure out how to place (within a table cell)
an image that slowly disolves into another image - a slideshow with
5 to 10 images that loops. The identical-sized images are roughly
300x420 px. I need to just have them swap with a dissolve, then
loop - maybe 5 seconds each. This is where I am so far - not great,
but this is the idea:

check out this flash slide-show:
http://webtrans1.com/demos/slide_show/slide_show_instructions.php
it is plain and simple, and loops automatically through any
number of images. You can customize it
(size, speed, background-color, images centered or
left-alitgned, etc.)
No controls buttons.

So you need to use timeline for a simple slide show?

Do you have to do anything with the timeline to run a simple
looped slide show with no sound. What is a good rate (fps)? I am
desperate. Why does it not advance to the next slide? How do you
reset the program to its original defaults.
Thanks

Beyond adding your images and animating them...no. But not
sure what you are referring to
specifically when you ask what you have to do with the
timeline - you certainly need the timeline to
animate something over time. Flash will loop by default
unless told to stop.
What is a good rate (fps)?
"good" is relative - depends on your needs - 1 frame rate may
be good for some projects and very bad
for others - depends on how heavy the animation is.
I am desperate.
Desperate for what exactly?
Why does it not
> advance to the next slide?
Impossible to say without looking under the hood - "slide"?
Are you using slides or the main
timeline? We have no idea how your FLA is setup so we can't
possibly troubleshoot it - provide some
specific information or better yet the source file and we
will take a look.
How do you reset the program to its original
> defaults.
Not sure what you mean - default what? Panel layouts? Doc
Properties? Why would this solve your
problem(s)? The only way is to reinstall flash i believe -
why do you need to do this?

I would like to create a slide show and then burn to a DVD. I may be interested in adding music. Should I use iPhone, iMovie or a simple Powerpoint?

I am going to be creating a slide show and then burning it to a couple of DVDs. I have used PPT in the past for simple slide shows for speaking engagements, but I am interested in adding music to this slide show. What is the best/easiest application to use? iMovie, iPhoto or Powerpoint?
Thanks!
Mike

burning it to a couple of DVDs
Is it your intention to create video DVDS that can be played on TV sets via DVD players? If so you'll need a video DVD authoring application like iDVD.
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
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, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is 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.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

How do I add an image already in the page to a slide show ?

It seems so simple: I have a couple of images already spread out on a page, but later on I decide to collect them into a simple slide show after all. So I drag this Slide Show widget into place, and now ? Yeah, I know, I should use the button to select new images into it, or drag them as files from my Finder onto the Slide Show. But I already have them sitting on my page ! Isn't there a quicker and better way ? I tried copying and pasting in a lot of ways, and I can change the existing (three) sample images, but it's not even so easy to do it. Anyone ?
BTW, I know I could use Compositions, and at least they offer a simple + button to add extra instances to the widget. But I'd like to these plain vanilla Slide Show widgets in this situation.

Hi,
I used a blank slideshow, and then I dragged an existing image from the page and drop to the slideshow, it works absolutely fine, check this screenshot
is that what you are referring here, or did I miss anything

Iphoto crashing and ERROR message when trying to EXPORT to slide show

I am producing a simple Slide Show to be shown tomorrow at 8am.
I created it in IPHOTO but an older version. I did some tests last night and today. Worked fine.
Now that it is done I tried to EXPORT it to Quicktime, as a H.264 Quicktime movie.
Dimension 1280x 720
Stills only and no music. Classic with simple dissolves from one photo to next.
Export and proceed and I leave it alone. After about 1/2 hour or so it crashes and give ERROR message and say
"unable to process" or complete.
I have tried several times and changed specs. Still crashes.
What happened to Apple's Chat Support? Are then not online after a certain time?
On an IMAC with 16 Gbs of RAM, and have space left on drive. this is not complex.
anyone? It is due tonight so I can Hightail send it to AV people and it needs to be downloaded
tonight or EARLY tomorrow for showing at 8am.
thanks to anyone who can help.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
☞ Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Create slide show - help needed to transfer from iPhoto

I am an editing novice but a skilled Mac user with a programing background. I am trying to create a 20-30 minute slide show of approximately 250 photos to run in the background at my son's bar mitzvah on 61 inch plasmas. I have selected the photos and can produce something very basic in iPhoto. I would like to improve this in the following ways and hope Final Cut Express is the best too:
1) Ability to custom configure Ken Burns effects to the proper faces, etc, and hopefully add rotation of my choice.
2) Be able to create PIP and split screen effects. Concepts include having 2-4 photos in field simultaneously
3) No need for sound - this will run in background
4) Need to format photos to fit monitor best - assume this gets done best in iPhoto
Is the best thing to do to export a QT movie from iPhoto? Is there a better way to get the photos into FCE? Is there a good primer for slide shows in FCE either on web or for sale?
Sorry to pound the questions, but I did not see a direct response on the forum.

I just had to do a slide show with 190 pictures. I created it in iMovie so applying the Ken Burns would be less work, yet I still had control over the direction of travel. When I was done, while in iMovie, I exported as movie as the first choice under export (I can't think of the correct term) and selected the large option when it gave me the choices. It was exported to the desktop as an MP4 and I easily imported it into FCE with no loss of clarity. I also tried to export it as a Quicktime movie to see if it would work also and I was also able to import that into FCE. IMHO iMovie is the way to go for simple slide shows. Hope this helps.
PS. If you need 30 minutes of video, iMovie can easily adjust you photos. I know you said you didn't need music, but try this. Place all your photos into iMovie. Then place X number of songs, any songs, into iMovie until you have 30 minutes. I believe iMovie sets all clips at 4 seconds. You can then add cross desolve transitions between every photo buy going into project settings and clicking on the box to add dissolves. Then set the length of disolve between .5 and 1 second. You then call tell if you have enough photos to fill 30 minutes by seeing if the photos totaly fill up the music (highlight in iMovie)if you are to short, make the photos 5-10 seconds. If you are too long just make them shorter. When you import into FCE, just delete the audio track.

Looking For Slide Show Script - Freeware

Can anyone recommend a freeware script for a simple slide
show that allows slow dissolve transitions? Something that can be
imported into DW and used from inside DW. I have one that's almost
perfect, but does not offer any transitions, just hard edits from
one slide to the other:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=1165474
Claims they offer transitions but I couldn't find them. Plus
the transitions are for IE only, and I need it to work in all
browers, at the very minimum FFX, Safari as well as IE.

Aside from looking at the pretty transitions, did you read
the rest of the
page? See the part where it says "Step 1 - copy and
paste....."
Then do Step 2. It just can't get any easier than that.
Read the bit underneath step 2 and it tells you how the
script can be used
multiple times on a page - Again - step 1: you give it a new
name in the
javascript file, and add the names and paths of the images
for the
consecutive slides you wish to display. Then, again, Step 2 -
you call the
slideshow somewhere on your page.
Without sounding condescending, sit back, read the
instructions again, and
have a go at implementing them into your page.
Upload your efforts, post a link to the page, and we'll be
able to help you
further if you need it.
You can describe what you have, how you want it to work, but
until we see a
page live, its a bit hard to help further.
Last resort, spring for a paid solution to do it all for you
(which I highly
recommend) -

Slide show auto start

trying to figure out how to have a simple slide show automatically start when someone goes to my iweb site. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Mark ~ For a suggestion of how to create a simple slideshow, see this old thread:
Once you've got your slideshow movie on your iWeb page, to make it automatically start, in iWeb's +Inspector > QuickTime+ tab check the Autoplay option.
