Creating a Slide show in Quicktime Pro

Hi all,
I have over 400 hundred images that I need to run into Quicktime for a slide show presentation. I tried IDVD and it just hangs up when I try to burn the disc.
Now I'm trying Quicktime Pro. I created a folder with the 400+ images named in sequence 1,2,3....
Choose File-Open Image Sequence and selected the first image.
Then Saved file as a Quicktime movie. It brought in the one selected picture. Now, how do I get the rest of the images into the movie without having to click and drag everyone of them? Is there a any kind of automation to bring the rest in. Maybe I missed something. I'm working on a Mac G4 Laptop, Tiger and just purchased Quicktime Pro thinking it would do the job. IMovie is not an option because the images come in too pixelated.
Thanks for any help on a quick way of doing this.

Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

Problem solved. It seems that there is, indeed, a rather strict file naming convention. My original filenames began 1,2,3, etc...but with more information behind that which was seperated by an underscore. I took all of that out and renamed the files using only single digit filenames in sequence and that seemed to work and I also took out the extention--I don't know if that matters or not; but it works now. I'm on my way to the IDVD forum because this might be the reason I couldn't burn an IDVD as well. You wouldnt happen to know if IDVD has similar querks? BTW I'm using a Mac G4 Laptop OS 10.4.6
I'd say my Quicktime problem is solved at any rate.
Thanks so much for your help!

  • Created a slide show in Premiere Pro and the picture quality changed.

    I worked on a group of pictures in Adobe photo shop and in Adobe Premiere Pro created a slide show with music.
    When I play the video the resolution is poor but when I stop playing the pictures become crystal clear again! Help!

    As shooternz stated, there is a Wrench Icon next to the Program Monitor.
    Click on it, go to Playback Resolution and make sure it is set to "Full"

  • I am trying to create a slide show but QT Pro won't open now

    I am trying to create a slide show (Time Lapse Movie) from thousands of photographs and was told to buy QT Pro. After downloading QT 7 and QT Pro yesterday, the program would not operate correctly, although I was able to work with it somewhat. Today it started out Ok but then back to same as yesterday (will not open). Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size = Medium or Large.
    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.
    NOTE:  If you're running iPhoto 9.5 the export options will be different.

  • Newbie Here - How to Create a Slide Show in CS5?

    I am using Windows 7 and I am familiar with PSElements 8 where creating a slide show is easy.  I just want to create a slide show in CS5 (in Bridge??  View>Slideshow Options?) using vacation photos from several folders, and I want to order them manually.
    First, I can't figure out how to display more than one folder in the Content panel in Bridge.  Second, I can't figure out how to create and intersperse "blank" slides with text.   Third (and I haven't even gotten this far yet), how do I save the slide show and burn a VCD?  This was all so easy and intuitive in PSE8, I can't believe it seems nearly impossible in CS5! 
    As an alternative, should I simply re-save the photos as JPEGs (they are PSDs now), export them to a Desktop folder, open them in PSE8 and create the slide show there instead?   Thanks for any help and suggestions!

    1) Bridge has a new feature (can't think of the term at the moment) but it works like instancing or virtual copies. Select all of the photo's that you want and place them in the "collection" (Ah I knew I would think of it) Move to another folder and move them into the same collection and so on. These are virtual copies in that they don't really exist, but are a link to the original images. You then can use the collection for the slide show.
    2) Just create a page same size as your photo's in photoshop with what ever color background and put your text on it.
    3A)The slide show can be exported as a pdf or swf. Windows can then copy the file to a cd. If you choose swf, you may need to alter the html file (I assume it generates one, if not it isn't har to create one) The html file would help the web browser determine the correct size to display at. If you have flash, it can be used to create a html file as well.
    3B)If you would like the slide show to be displayed on a tv screen, then your cd/dvd will need to use a format that your dvd player can play, mp2 is the standard, but some can display jpg's, some are blue ray, etc. For exporting into the correct video format, then one of the following can be used. After Effects, Premeire pro, Encore, Photoshop (If you have quicktime installed and you are using one of the formats that quicktime supports like mp4)
    If you have quicktime installed, paying the 20 bucks may be worth it as it will allow you to take your jpg images and generate an animation file as avi or mov. But can save as mp4 as well.
    4) In Bridge you can select all of the images and run image processor on them. This plug in is part of photoshop there fore it will be in the menu's under photoshop. It will let you specify the files size, format and any actions, etc. It will then place them all into a folder that you specify.

  • How can I create a slide show and insert it into an email

    I created a slide show of some pictures I want to share with my sales associate but can't seem to figure out how to Email it.  any help would be appreciated!  Thank you!

    You will need to export it as a  QuickTime movie and share that.
    That said, movies are big files and many recipients will be less than delighted to get large attachments that can cause them problems in their mailboxes. Better to upload the movie somewhere and then email them a link. Dropbox is an excellent way to do this.]

    Hi
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    only You can buy from Apple is
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

  • I created a slide show on work computer. Placed photos and movies in Media Browser. Want to use another computer (laptop) to give presentation. Do I need to copy media browser to laptop or are pictures and movies embedded in slide show and can go anywhere

    I created a slide show on my work computer and placed many photos and movies in my work computer's Media Browser. Want to use another computer (laptop) to give the presentation and therefore change location of slide show. Do I need to copy the media browser to the laptop or once the pictures and movies are embedded in the original slide show, can I take it anywhere and not worry about the media browser?
    I also want to optimize a movie for Keynote, so it's not too large a file. Please help.

    Graphic, sound and video files are copied into the Keynote file, but make sure Keynote > Preferences - include sound and movies check box is ticked.
    If you have added additional fonts they will need be changed to reflect what is on the destination machine.
    If the other machine has a different Keynote version, ensure the same transitions and effects are available.

  • 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?

    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.

  • How can I change the order of photos in iPhoto so I can create the slide show I want?

    How to change the order of photos in iPhoto on my iPad, so I can create the slide show I want.

    Here's what I did to generate a slide show with Ken Burns effect on the iPad...with the exact same slide order I created on the iMac.  I have iOS 5.5 and iPhoto App on New iPad, and iPhoto 11 on iMac.
    In iPhoto for the Mac, create a new Album and give it the name of your Slide Show. Drag or import the photos you want into the album.  Rearrange the order of the album photos as desired. Do this by selecting Manual Sort under View/Sort Photos or simply start dragging thumbnails to the places you want them (the sort method will automatically change to Manual). 
    When you have the order you want, shut down iPhoto on the Mac to make sure iPhoto's database gets updated with the new photos and their order. 
    Restart iPhoto and go to File/Export on the top menu.  Select File Export at the top left of the Export window. Set JPEG quality to Max, Size to Full Size, and File Name to Album Name and Number.  Set Subfolder Format to None.
    Click Export to bring up what looks like the Finder.  Create an empty folder on your hard drive under Pictures and give it the name of your slide show. Click on the new folder and then click OK at the bottom right of the Finder-like window.  The new folder will contain JPEG files with file names in the form, Album Name - 001.jpeg, Album Name - 002.jpeg, etc.  There will also be an iPOD Photo Cache folder.  Click at the top of the Name column to order files by file name.  001 will be your first slide, 002 your second, etc.
    Now start up iTunes. You are going to force the Mac to sync these new photos with the iPad.  Click on your iPad device in the list at the left.  Now click on the Photo button at top right. Make sure the Sync Photos check box at top is checked, then select Choose Folder... from the list at right.  In the Finder-like window that opens, select the folder where your slides are.  Make sure that All Folders is checked, then select Open at the bottom right.
    Now click Sync at bottom right.  The slides will be copied to your iPad.  Both the Photos app and the iPhoto app will properly handle the slide order, and the Ken Burns effect is available using the iPhoto app.
    I ran across this problem in preparing a Ken Burns slide show for a wedding.  Drove me nuts for a week why the order changes when syncing an iPhoto album from iMac to iPad.  But this worked and gave me several options.  I plan to use the digital AV adapter for iPad and show slides on a large screen TV using HDMI connection from iPad to TV.  TV essentially acts as an external monitor for the iPad.
    Hope this helps!

  • How do I create a slide show in a separate, non iPhoto folder?

    I moved about a 1000 photos from iPhoto to a new folder I created in an external drive to save space in iPhoto. How do I create a slide show in the new folder? When I click a photo to enlarge it it goes into Preview mode which enables you to have a slide show. But do I have to click and enlarge all 1000 photos? There is bound to be a simpler way.
    Thanks,
    Max

    MaxFS,
    I see you are still using Jaguar, is this true?
    With Tiger (10.4) you can select all the photos in a folder
    control click on the photos and scroll to "slideshow"
    You can also select all the photos in the folder
    double click on the selection to have them open in Preview
    In preview use the option for a slideshow.
    This does tell me that you might have a newer version of OS X than what is noted in your specs.
    Also, I think there is a limit to the number of photos that will open in a slideshow or preview. It might be around 99 or 150 (I can't remember right now)

  • I created a slide show using my photos on iphoto can I burn this to a dvd with the music in the backgroun

    I created a slide show using photos from iphoto and I was able to put it to music to view it on my mac. I am trying to figure out a way to download it or burn it to a DVD with the music in order that it can be given as a gift. Also is there a way to use multiple songs for the slideshow.
    thanks much

    First if you slideshow requires more than one audio track go to iTunes and create a new playlist with the music you want.  You can take the total time of the playlist and divide by the number of slides to get the approximate playing time for each slide. 
    In iDVD go into the slideshow window and then click on the Audio button at the right.  Locate the playlist and drag it into the music bin at the bottom of the window.
    Click to view full size
    Be sure that non of the audio tracks are DRM protected tracks from the iTunes store.  You won't be able to use them if they are.  And remember this is only for slideshows created by iDVD from still photos imported from iPhoto.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    These are two different crashes. So, I'm not sure if the solution will work. Going from the second one:
    That
    Exception Codes: KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE
    is always a Data Related issue.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
