Hello, scubahawkfish,
Welcome to the discussions.
Here is a great discussion regarding slideshow creation using iPhoto vs iMovie:

If you are wanting to incorporate video, you must use iMovie. Here is an excellent explanation of synching audio to video using iMovie by Karl Petersen (always pay attention to whatever he recommends!): http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=607322&ft=y&#607322
Here is help for synching an iDVD slideshow with audio if you decide to skip using the video and just go with iPhoto: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/243.html

  • How to get iPhoto slide show .mov to YouTube?

    I've created a slide show in iPhoto which I want to upload to YouTube.
    It is created as a movie, .mov 45 mb
    I thought I could load it directly to YouTube, but apparently I have to convert it. Can someone tell me how to do the conversion?
    YouTube says the preferred formats for video are H.264, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 preferred.
    Thanks for your assistance,
    Jeanie

    Thanks, Larry,
    I've downloaded this software -- great tool.
    However, I still am unable to upload to YouTube. I exported the mov to create an MPEG-4. It plays perfectly on my computer, but I still get an error message when trying to upload to YouTube.
    There is another weird thing that has been happening, which might be the problem or a clue to the problem.
    In iPhoto, my first slide is a title screen. However, I noticed that after I uploaded the mov to Audio Acrobat, a black slide precedes the Title slide. I thought maybe something happened at Audio Acrobat (haven't taken the time to call them). I have this video playing at one of my web sites, and there is a black slide at the beginning.
    OK, so back to this .... the same thing happens when I open the iPhoto file in MPEG Streamclip. It starts with a black slide rather than the title slide.
    To test to see if a black slide got added in iPhoto, I use the back arrow with the title screen visible and the last slide shows. In other words, iPhoto is not showing a black slide.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Jeanie

  • Slide Show Movies?

    Forgive such a simple question, can you do slide show movies in Final Cut?
    My niece is a photographer who would like to present her clients with a slide show movie complete with an original soundtrack. iMovie & iPhoto just don't cut it.
    I know it seems ridiculous to look at final cut for slide show movies, just nothing else has yielded the results.
    Can one work with .jpeg in Final Cut? I saw no mention of it on the Apple site. Please enlighten me.
    We are looking to produce professional quality DVD's. of photo shoots with the ability to edit photos & music simultaneously in the timeline.
    TY

    Sure you can. I have a client who hires me a couple of times a year to do one for her.
    Yes you can use JPEG. Some things to remember. Know your settings. A 4x3 screen size will translate into a 720x480pixels graphic at 72 dpi. Now, most digital photos are larger than that and Final Cut will translate those to screen size when you import. However, if you are scanning snapshots that's a handy thing to keep in mind.
    Animated backgrounds work great under photos that are vertical. Otherwise they will appear over black which is okay but boring.
    If you produce/scan your photos and save as a photoshop file you will be able to manipulate individual layers.
    To save time, I lay my music on the time line then I highlight all of the photos I want and drag and drop then using "overwrite-with-transition." This will give you a dissolve between each photo. You can change duration of the photos from there to match to you song. Of course if you don't want dissolves just edit them one all at once or one at a time.
    Good luck...anything else.

  • I am using using IDVD to create slide shows.  When viewed on my computer the pictures are clear and of high quality.  When I burn the slide show to a disk and play it back, the pictures are blurry and of poor quality.

    I am using IDVD to create slide shows.  When viewed on my computer, the pictures are clear and of high quality.  When I burn the slide show to a disk and play it back, the pictures are blury and of poor quality.  Is there a setting that controls the quality of the burn and if there is, where do I find it?  Thank you.

    The Mac software - iPhoto, iMovie, and iDVD are not the best with the Ken Burns effect (zoom in/out effect), so you might want to minimize that effect; also, if your subjects are wearing stripes for instance, that will have an effect if you zoom. There is better software available for slideshows; however, I do not know of any that is free (and does a good job). I've used Photo to Movie for some time; it does a fine job even in HD, but you have to pay for it. I use iDVD extensively, but only to add a menu, theme, special effects, etc. and then to burn it.

  • Slide show movie

    I am a new Mac user and am trying to find a way to create a slide show movie (similar to windows Move Maker) as a way to share and save my favorite photos on DVD.  I don't see a way to import photos in iMovie although I have no trouble importing movies recorded on my camera.  Am I missing something?  Or can anyone recommend other software that will do this?n  Thanks in advance.

  • I made an iMovie from iPhoto pictures that both look GREAT.  Watching the DVD i burned on a Playstation2 makes the pics look fuzzy. Why? how can i fix this?

    When you watch on your Mac, it is at or near HD 1920x1080 pixels (about 2 megapixels), depending on the resolution of your screen. Most photos today are 5 megapixels or greater, depending on your camera, but anything over 2 megapixels must be reduced when put in a video.
    When you create a DVD, you must further reduce it to 640x480, standard definition. This is about 0.3 megapixels. iDVD will do this for you.
    You can fix by creating an HD movie in iMovie. You can Share this using Share/Export Using QuickTime to an MP4 container using the h.264 codec. You can then put this movie on your PS3 using a USB thumb drive.
    That should give you good resolution.
    (NEVER MIND, YOU SAID PS2 not PS3, my apologies)

  • Creating Slide Show problems in Elements 10

    I have Photoshop elements 10. I started to create a slide show: so selected the photos, then the show preferences from the dialogue box but when I clicked OK the Slide Show editor dialogue box did NOT appear and everything froze.  the only way out was to close the whole program. Please can you help?

    If you are running Windows system then this article will help you to get started:

    Although it is for PSE12, the steps are almost identical in PSE10.
    Good luck.

  • Premiere Elements 7 crashes on creating slide show

    Hi Gurus,
    I use Premiere Elements 7 for about 2 years and it works fine when I need to create a film from set of video fragments.
    But I also need to create slide shows from pictires.
    For some reason PRE7 crashs on building such slide show (at least, this is valid for a long enough slide show). It happens not always on the same slide, but approximately at the same percentage of the slide show to be built.
    I run PRE7 on Windows XP, SP3 32-bit
    What may be a reason of this crash? Conflict with some other software, installed on my computer? Lacking resources (I have 4 GBytes of memory, but Win 32-bit uses only 3.25 GBytes)? Known bug?
    I tried to install the trial version of PRE9, but the result was even worse: it crashed even more quickly than PRE7. i.e. less slides were processed before the crash.
    Any suggestion that can help to solve this issue will be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ilia

    If you can handle smaller numbers of large images, but not larger numbers, it is likely a resource issue. It could be RAM, Virtual Memory, or similar.
    This ARTICLE might be helpful for setting up your computer for an editing session, and freeing as many resources, as is possible. This ARTICLE discusses Virtual Memory.
    PrE 9 will have about the same resource requirements, or might use a bit more, so a large number of large still images will remain a problem.
    Good luck,

  • PE4 Error in trying to create slide show

    When I try to create a slide show in PE4, I cannot add any photos to slide editor. I get 'slide show command failed. Unable to add photos from organizer'. There are pictures in the organizer. I have tried adding pictures from both the organizer and file folder and I still cannot create a slide show. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

    I tried as you suggested and that didn't work. When I am in organizer and select photos, then click on create, slide show, ok, the following message apears. 'Error code C0000005, Address 847606' and then element closes. If when starting elements and I choose create and then slide show and the editor comes up. I click on add media from either organizer or folders and select pictures I get 'Slide show command failed. Unable to add photos from organizer.'
    I am using windows xp home and a vaio laptop. Anyone have any other ideas? TIA

  • How do I move an iMovie from my library to theater?

    Hi, I was creating an i Movie on my iMac, and I wanted to edit it from my iPhone 4s. My iMac is running OS X Mavericks, and my Iphone is iOS 7. I heard if you put it inot iMovie theater, the movie is accesible to all of you iCloud devices. So I was wondering how I move an iMovie from my library on my iMac to the iMovie theater on iMac so I can access the movie from all my iCloud connected devices. Does anyone know?

  • Creating slide shows in flash

    I am trying to teach myself to create slide shows in Flash.  I have Flash CS4 Professional.  I found a tutorial to do this for CS3, Action Script 2.0, here:
    http://previews.learnflash.com/previews/flash/basicslideshow.html
    It seems like a great tutorial.  However, as I am following it, I can't make my slide show work as the tutorial demonstrates.  Specificall, after creating the buttons as shown, my slide show will not stop at the next frame, but rapidly runs through all the slides.
    I have worked with the tutorial for several days and can not get it to work for me. I get the below error messages when I follow the turorial.
    This is what the tutorial says to do, and as best as I can tell, I am doing just that:
    This is what part of my screen looks like:
    I would greatly appreciate any pointers, perhaps to a more current tutorial.
    Many thanks!
    christian

    The first image you show is probably the most telling, especially if the second image you show is taken from the tutorial and is not a screenshot of what you've done.  Based on the error messages, you are using parentheses where you should be using curly braces.
    next_btn.onRelease = function(){
         nextFrame();
    Also, just for the sake of it, check your Flash Publish Settings and make sure you have AS2 selected for the Actionscript version.

  • I made a movie in iMovie from an imported slideshow. How do I export the movie to burn on a disc to play on a pc

    I made a movie in iMovie from an imported slideshow. How do I export the movie to burn on a disc to play on a pc? I burned one copy and it didn't playback properly on the PC. The pictures played extremely slow while the music played

    Hi cortiz58,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    What version of iMovie are you working with?  Is your end goal that you need to play the file on a Windows computer, or is it that you need to burn the file to DVD?
    See this link for tips to re-wrap your file for Windows:
    How to create a video for playback with Windows/XBox/PS3/… etc?: Apple Support Communities
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5781
    If you export the iMovie file as a .mov file, you can play it in iTunes for Windows on your PC.
    If you want the ability to burn to DVD, then you may consider downloading the free 30 day trial of our professional video application.  Final Cut Pro X can import your iMovie project and burn it to DVD.

  • Scanning 35mm slides to create slide show

    My objective is to scan 35mm slides and create a presentable slide show for viewing on a computer monitor and TV. (regular TV)
    I am using an Epson 4490 Perfection scanner and Photoshop Elements 2 software.
    This should be relatively easy, but I'm running into difficulty and can find nothing in the "help" section of the software that answers my question.
    How would you set the scanning options to obtain a good quality scan, without the software automatically cropping the slide, and being of good quality when viewed on the monitor/TV?
    After completing the scans, I'll need to create the slide shows and save them to disc. Any suggestions or information you could offer in these areas would also be helpful:
    - Tutorials for creating slide shows, included in the Elements 2 program or elsewhere.
    - What would be the best quality disc to save these to?
    Thanks so much for the help

    Lauraly.....
    I haven't actually done what you intend but here's some things to consider.
    Your 35mm slides have an aspect ratio of 3:2 ( 36mm x 24mm). Normal TVs and many Monitors have and aspect ratio of 4:3. Some widescreens TVs are 16:9. This means you wont get a 35mm slide to fit exactly. Either it will be 'letterbox' sshape on your screen or if you size to fit then something will be cropped off.
    As for scanning you should consider what resolution you need for the end display. If your display has for example a width of 1280 pixels then you should aim to scan the slide to achieve the same number of pixels - which works out to be approx 355 pixels/cm or 900 pixels/inch. For a TV you could probably get away with less.
    If your scanning the slides you may want to go flat out so that the images could also be printed out sometime in the future in which case you may want to scan at something like 3200 or 6400 pixels/inch.
    Once you've scanned the images you'll need a program to make the slide show. Photoshop Elements 5 can do this but in my opinion Proshow Gold is a better program. Don't make a Video CD (VCD) - the quality of the playback is poor. Go for high quality DVD
    Elements can't actually burn the DVD - you need another program for that. Proshow will do everything and more.
    You can download a free program from Microsoft called Photostory 3. It will allow you to make the slide show for playback on your PC - including music - but to make a DVD you need another program. If you have a DVD burner the s/w for that may be suitable.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do you move photo's from Iphoto to keynote or powerpoint?

    How do you move photo's from iphoto to keynote or powerpoint? How do you insert them into slides?

    iPhoto '08, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)
    Your signature suggests you are asking about iPhoto on a mac:
    To use the Media Browser in "Pages" as Douglas McLaughlin suggest:
    Click "Media" in the toolbar, select the "Photos" tab in the "Media" browser panel, select "iPhoto"; for example:

  • HT1040 trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.

    trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.
    if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
    is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
    also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
    many thanks for your help.

    Photos are added to book in chronological order.  So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
    1 - select all the photos in the album.
    2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
    3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
    4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
    5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.
