Iphoto slideshow exported for iweb viewed by windows

I have been trying to publish an iphoto slideshow that I had exported as a movie for weeks. My mac people can see it, my PC family members cannot! I tried to make it small for the web, changed the filename to mp4 from mpv4, but PC people still could not see it. So I tried to put the slideshow movie in as a huge .mpeg and it disappeared. ( I had made an avi file but it looked horrible so used the equally as large but better ,mpeg)
I am getting the idea that it can only be done with imovie! Is than an authoritative step by step on iphoto 08,quicktime pro, and Iweb so I can put all these things together?

Don't use the Finder to change the file extension. Not only is it folly but it breaks the links used in your iWeb page code.
Don't use AVI. It is a dead container discontinued by its authors (Microsoft) years ago.
Don't use MPEG-1 (1991 format).
Default exports from iPhoto to QuickTime formats use the newer H.264 video codec which requires any machine (Mac or PC) have QuickTime version 7 installed. If they can't install version 7 they can't view your file.

  • Remove fade in/out from iPhoto slideshow export?

    I'm bringing in some pictures from iPhoto and I've had bad luck with photo resolution when I used iMovie to import the picture and apply Ken Burns effects, etc. I've seen some suggestions here to use an iPhoto slideshow export instead.
    I have my settings for 1 second slides, no transition and a ken burns effect. I'd like to make an export for each picture, but iPhoto insists on opening the slideshow with a fade in and closing with a fade out. Is there any way to prevent this? I'd like to add the transitions in iMovie instead.
    (I realize that the iMovie forum might be a better place for this so forgive the crosspost)

    Thanks, I think I'll skip the Ken Burns for now since I've had nothing but problems with it. My issues before were that 1) iMovie would play the images in sequence just fine during playback but at export would mix up the order. 2) The resolution on the pictures was absolutely terrible. I have a new movie now and haven't seen either problem.

  • IPhoto Slideshow Export Settings for FCP 7

    I made a slideshow using iPhoto '11 that I need to import into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 so that it can be merged into a longer sequence with a few other things that will eventually be burned onto a DVD using Studio Pro and then set to play in a continuous loop.
    My question is, what settings should I use exporting out of iPhoto? The photos were all taken with a Canon 5D. The sequence that I'll be importing the slideshow into will also have a sequence in it that was shot using the Sony HXR-NX5U. So, the native settings for that clip will be 1920x1080, square pixels, 23,98 fps, Apple ProRes 422 codec. I exported my iPhoto slideshow to match the settings as best as possible - 1920x1080 HD 16:9 was the closest option. I think the one difference is that the slideshow plays at 30 fps while the sequence matches the main video at 23.98 fps.
    My issue is that the slideshow plays fine in iPhoto and even as a stand-alone movie loaded in QuickTime, but once I import it into Final Cut, I get motion artifacts. Even if I bring the slideshow into its own sequence, with the sequence settings matching those of the slideshow, the artifacts are still there. I can get rid of them using the Flicker Filter, but is there a way to resolve this issue during the iPhoto export? Should I be Deinterlacing the source video, leaving it as a progressive movie or selecting interlaced scaling? If it needs interlaced scaling, should I select upper or lower?
    Or, are there better settings to get this slideshow to play better in Final Cut?

    Yes. What we're setting up a booth at an upcoming event and have some promo videos we made, as well as the slideshows. The purpose of bringing them all into FCP was so I could put them all together in the timeline and export them as one big movie, which I'd them bring into DVD Studio Pro and set it to loop over and over.
    Unless, of course, I could keep all the movies separate and create a "Play" button that plays movie #1, but modify the end jump to go to movie #2. Modify the end jump of movie #2 to go to movie #3, the end jump of movie #3 go to #4 and have the end jump of #4 go back to #1.
    Would that work? If so, I can just put everything into Compressor.

  • Iphoto slideshow exported to Windows format

    How can a slideshow produced in Iphoto be exported to windows vista format.
    I have been able to produce the slideshow in IDVD which can be played on a dvd player, but I need to produce the slideshow so it can be read on a windows pc
    Can anyone help me please
    Cheers

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Can't the Vista computer play the DVD?
    Another possibility is if you have Quicktime Pro. You can export the movie to Windows Media format and Vista should be able to read that.

  • Best settings for iPhoto Slideshow Export

    My aim is to export an iPhoto slideshow (iPhoto ‘11 v9.3.1) and import into the FCP7 sequence with the best possible quality.
    Original video source - Sony camcorder - DV PAL (16.9 anamorphic) imported into FCP7 with a sequence preset of DV PAL 48 KHz Anamorphic (720 x 576)
    Stills for slideshow - 3648 x 2736 Jpeg
    I realise I will lose significant quality to fit the restraints of the DV sequence and so after some tests the best result was through a custom export from iPhoto
    Compression - H.264
    Frame rate changed to 25
    Keyframes & data rate - Automatic
    Quality - Best
    Encoding - Best Quality (multi-pass)
    Size - 768 x 576 SD
    A few thoughts -
    Are there other settings for better results?
    The resulting QT movie had a slightly inferior quality inside Final Cut than when played outside with Quicktime Player
    Any movement over the stills created a strobing/flickering effect inside Final Cut - I have never been able to sort this problem out and now no longer set keyframes to move over stills.
    I have tried a third party software (Industrial Revolution CoverFlux2) with no great improvement re flickering problem and general quality
    The sequence is 16.9 but any attempt to export the slideshow to fit (eg 720 x 576 16.9) stretches the images.

    Original video source - Sony camcorder - DV PAL (16.9 anamorphic) imported into FCP7 with a sequence preset of DV PAL 48 KHz Anamorphic (720 x 576)
    Stills for slideshow - 3648 x 2736 Jpeg
    You're already in FCP7 so why go to iPhoto and then back to FCP?  That just adds layers of encoding which will reduce the final image quality.  As TD pointed out keep it in FCP

  • IPhoto slideshow export -- jerky Ken Burns rendering

    Have an iPhoto slideshow of 25 pictures. On some, I used Ken Burns effect to zoom in, out, etc.
    When I export, the result is a .mov file. Everything looks great when I play it on Quicktime, except for some of the photos on which I had used Ken Burns (meaning there's motion). The bad ones don't render properly, and are "jerky" for lack of a more technical word. They get stuck for a couple of seconds, jump forward, get stuck again, etc.
    Amazing thing is that I did an export out of Quicktime using Sorenson3, and that seems to have smoothed everything out in a nice way. Result is a movie with no jerkiness, and everything works right.
    Two questions:
    1) Can I count on the Sorenson3 export method to fix the jerkiness for three other iPhoto slideshow-based movies I'll need to generate, or was this a one-time fluke that Sorenson3 fixed this movie? In other words, is there a principle behind the fix that makes sense and can be counted on?
    2) What caused the jerkiness in the first place? Is there something I can do so the original output from iPhoto on Ken Burns photos isn't jerky?
    Thanks for any insights.

    Kirk,
    Did what you suggested, with some tweaks, and it's working nicely. Exported at 3MB/sec -- 2MB didn't render well enough. Tried MPEG-4, and then Sorenson again, and actually the Sorenson worked better for some reason.
    So thanks, and now I have one follow up question: My next step is to convert the file to .wmv format so it plays on Windows Media Player. Must do this for a project at work -- where people are on PCs using WMP.
    I purchsed Flip4Mac a while ago for this purpose, and that's what I intend to use. Can I simply convert the file exactly as is to .wmv -- keeping all the goodness of the settings that are now working? Will this be an export of an export that will damage the quality of the result?
    Thanks for your thoughts.

  • Iphoto slideshow export

    hi! I am wondering/hoping someone knows if theres a way of exporting an iphoto slideshow at a different size than the standard 3 choices...

    Not with iPhoto. It's only geared to NTSC as far as I know. iMovie does have the KB effect. However, I suggest you use the iMovie HD (6) instead of iMovie 8 because it's so much easier to add and edit music. iMovie 6 is available for iLife users: iMovie HD 6.
    When in iMovie Control click on a photos and select Edit Photo Settings. In the window at the right that appears click on the "Show Photo Settings" button. That will bring up the settings window for that photo clip so you can add the KB effect, set the length of the clip and speed of the KB effect.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    the audio associated with that set of photos was a piece of music off of an audio CD that had been transferred to iTunes for the purpose of making this section in the DVD. It's not a big problem that the music didn't transfer, since I can add it back into FCX. Thank you so much for your concern and help. This was a very key bit of info that you provided me. Thanks again. bill

  • Widescreen iPhoto slideshow export

    I note that one of the changes with iLife '06 was to upgrade to widescreen for iDVD and Cinema display for iPhoto, but for the life of me I can not see how to export a slideshow from iPhoto to iDVD in widescreen format. Is there a set-up that I am missing or some sort of hidden short cut.
    I trust that I am missing some sort of step as I can not believe that I can burn DVD's in widescreen but have slideshow's still in 4x3 format.

    I haven't used this myself but if you click Settings (after you're in the slideshow), look for SLIDESHOW FORMAT near the bottom. You can change from Current Display to "4:3 iDVD/TV" or "16:9 Widescreen".

  • How do you burn a disc of pics from iphoto so they can be viewed in Windows?

    i would like to burn photos i have in iphoto onto a blank disc that can be viewed in Windows. How do I do this?

    In the iPhoto Window select the pics you want to burn and go File -> Export and export them to a folder on the desktop. Burn that to disk with the Finder.

  • Proper way to export for iWeb usage

    I'm trying to get my short film or even a trailer of it into iWeb. The film itself is about 12 mins and the .mov file created when I exported it as a Quicktime movie is 670MB. I shortened it down to about a minute trailer. The corresponding .mov files for Quicktime export and Quicktime conversion were about 187MB and 65MB respectively. It seems that for iWeb to play the film it needs to be a mere 10MB. Sure enough the film stutters and stops and is unwatchable. Suggestions? Thanks. Fred

    Try this work flow.
    Export using quicktime conversion, change the settings to match these.
    Compression Type = H.264
    Frame Rate = Current
    Key Frame = 24
    Frame Reorder = yes
    Data Rate = Restrict bit rate to 1500 kbits/sec (this is important for web videos, keeps the file sizes small, while still maintaining, video quality)
    Quality = High
    Encoding = Best (multi-pass)
    Dimensions = 853x480 (I shoot in HD 1080, and have found that on the web, 853x480 looks best, if you need other dimensions you can pick one of the presets that suits you video or experiment till you find what looks best)
    Sound ACC, 48.000khz, stereo, bit rate 128kbps
    Prepare for internet streaming = Fast Start
    This should reduce your files to a manageable size. The iWeb 10MB warning is just that, a warning. I have several videos on my site that are 100mb and larger. I build on iWeb and upload to a third party FTP server. Feel free to check out my results at
    www.karma180.com
    A bit of info about youTube. As I understand it, the current upload limits for youTube are;
    Video Length = 10 Minutes
    File Size = 1 gig
    Youtube uses their own compression, so send them the highest quality file you can, they prefer these Video Formats: H.264, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4
    So stay under 10 minutes and try to export a big file thats under 1 gig and your videos will look spectacular on You Tube.
    Ok, I hope that helps. Good Luck

  • IPhoto slideshow export custom button missing

    I have been exporting slideshows to QuickTime and since upgrading to '11 and snow leapord, I had a custom button on the slideshow export that is now not there.  I can only do the standard export that is an m4v file and only the standard sizes.  Anyone know where the button was deactivated?

  • Computer crashes during iPhoto slideshow export

    I've been creating several slideshows in iPhoto and then exporting them as Quicktime movies. Some are 6 or 7 minutes, some 14 or 15. When I started doing this, all went well. Then when I had done a few successfully I started experiencing crashes (kernal panics) after 25-50% of the slideshow had been exported. When this first happened I found some large (>6MB) Photoshop files in the slideshow. I made then smaller (< 1 MB) as jpg's and that made the export problem go away.
    Now I've made another show that's 13 minutes long and can't get more than 30-40% of it exported before a kernal panic. I've tried logging into another account and doing it and still have the problem. I even booted from another internal drive with the same results. I've repaired permissions and verified the drives in question. Nothing else is running when I export so the whole system is devoted to the process.
    Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas for a fix? <br>

    Randy:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Do you have any 3rd party addons to the system like APE, Application Enhancer, etc.? Does your iPhoto crash log give any indication of what's conflicting? In my case the offender was usually listed at or near the end of the report.
    Also whenever I get a kernel crash I immediately boot into single user mode and run the File System Check, FSCK. Often it will find some damage and repair it. Here's how:
    FSCK - File System Check
    To start up in single-user mode
    1. Restart the computer.
    2. Immediately after the startup sound, press and hold both the Command (Apple) and "s" keys on your keyboard. The computer will display a series of text messages, at which time you may release these keys.
    When the computer has started up, it will display a command line prompt (#). The computer is now in single-user mode.
    How to Run the File System Check from the Command Line
    Once you have reached a command line, follow these steps to use fsck:
    1. At the prompt, type: fsck -fy (NOTE, there is a space between the k and the “-”)
    The fsck utility will go through five "phases" and then return information about the disk's utilization and fragmentation. Once the check is finished, if no issue is found, you should see "** The volume <name of volume> appears to be OK."
    If fsck alters, repairs, or fixes anything, it will display the message:
    **** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***
    IMPORTANT: If this message appears, repeat the "fsck -fy" command until this message no longer appears. It is not unusual for your computer to require several "passes" of fsck, because first-pass repairs may uncover additional errors. Run it until you get two consecutive times with an "OK" result.
    3. When fsck reports that no problems were found, type: reboot
    4. Press Return.
    Have you run the usual maintenance operations? Like cleaning out all of the caches and running the cron maintenance scripts. I use OnyX for that.

  • Export for computer viewing.  H264?

    I exported my 33 minute FCE film as Export>QuickTime Movie and got a beautiful end result and a file size of 13.47 GB, all as I expected. I will use iDVD to make a DVD of the film from this QuickTime movie.
    I would like to export another version of the movie to keep on my internal hard drive purely for viewing on the computer (no additional editing or burning to DVD). Although I would like to have decent quality for this version, my main concern is to end up with a relatively small file size. It doesn't have to be tiny, but certainly smaller than 13.47 GB.
    I intend to use Export>QuickTime Conversion, but have some questions about how to accomplish what I want. First, though…..
    My video is:
    Frame size: 1280x720
    Vid rate: 29.97fps
    Compressor: Apple Intermediate Codec
    My audio is:
    Aud Rate: 48.0 KHz
    Aud Format: 16-bit integer
    Data rate: 187.5 K/sec
    My sequence settings match my video and audio.
    Here are my questions:
    1. Is h264 the compressor I should use?
    2. The default video settings for h264 are:
    Quality: High
    Key frame rate: 24
    Frame reordering: yes
    Encoding mode: multi-pass
    Dimensions: 556x313 (Current)
    Are those the settings I should use? And why are the dimensions stated as 556x313 (Current) even though my video in FCE is 1280x720?
    (The default audio settings match my audio settings in FCE so I assume they're fine.)
    3. Since I don't intend to put the movie on the Internet, should I uncheck "Prepare for Internet Streaming"?
    4. I started an export using these settings and got an estimate that it was going to take over three hours to finish the export. That's significantly longer than it took to export the original Export>QuickTime Movie version. Does that seem right?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi Steve
    1. Is h264 the compressor I should use?
    Yes - right now H.264 is pretty much the go-to codec for universal video playback. It's a highly compressed codec (meaning that it generally requires a more powerful processor for playback) but gives you great quality at relatively small file sizes.
    2. ... Are those the settings I should use? And why are the dimensions stated as 556x313 (Current) even though my video in FCE is 1280x720?
    The dimensions will be whatever the size of your Quicktime window. So if you've reduced your QT playback window, you'll see those values are smaller than expected. You can change this to full-frame if you want to keep your true frame size.
    Yes, you can turn off Internet Streaming.
    4. I started an export using these settings and got an estimate that it was going to take over three hours to finish the export. That's significantly longer than it took to export the original Export>QuickTime Movie version. Does that seem right?
    Yes, and here's why. When you originally exported from FCE, the system wasn't doing any transcoding. It was using the same codec and frame size as the raw video you're working with. That's why the file size is so large. When you export to a more compressed codec, like H.264, there's a lot of processing to be done. The speed of your system will greatly affect the time that this takes. Three hours for a half hour piece is not unheard of. Perhaps you can run it overnight?
