Multiple captions in Slideshow

Hi, Is there a way to create more captions in the lightbox-slideshow widget? I'd love to have two per image, but when i try to add a textframe it would go "in" the slideshow, it just stand loose on the page. Also i can't copy the one caption and past that one inside the slideshow. The whole slideshow gets copied...
Can anyone help?
thanks in advance, bart

I understand you would not like to have too many images in one slide show and would like to categorize them instead.
The easiest way to achieve something like this would be by using multiple Lightbox slide shows for the purpose as indicated in the picture below where each slide show on the page can act as an Image Catalog for your gallery page. You can disable the "Show lighbox parts while editing" option so that you are able to re-arrange the triggers easily in alignment with the other slide show triggers. Now when you preview the page in browser, it should give you a similar feel as if they are different categories with distinct titles/headings.
Thanks,
Vinayak

I am using my Description as the caption on Slideshow. I ticked the "Show Title Slide" button and iPhoto physically copied the description on the first slide onto the end of every other description. I can find no way of removing them other than by hand.

Any ideas why it might have happened or how it might br resolved? Regards, Marshfrog1

Attached is Dennis Linam’s Audition – “Log File” and “Log – Last File”
Contact information Dennis [email protected]
Previous contact information with your organization (DURIM):
Dennis - i just finished my audition trial and bought the subscription the 2014 version.

DURIM - Okay. I would expect the "Cache Warning" message because your default directories would not be the same as the ones in the settings file I generated.
If you go back to the "7.0" directory and open the "Logs" folder, can you copy the "Audition Log.txt" file and send it as an attachment to [email protected]? We'll take a look in that logfile and see if it gives us more information about why this is failing now.
Also, do you have any other Adobe applications installed on this machine, such as Premiere Pro? If so, do they launch as expected or fail as well?
I do have the trial Pro version of Adobe reader, but I have not activated it, because I fear the same thing will happen did it. I cannot afford to activate the subscription for that product and take the chance of it not working either. I depend on those two programs religiously. Here is the files that you requested. I appreciate any help you can give me to get this audition program started

Multiple Captions in a Text Field

I am trying to create a text field with multiple captions. The field needs to have a caption of TRANSACTION FEE but it also needs to have +$ next to the value field. Any suggestions? I created a text box for the field that holds the Transaction Fee title and then a text field with the caption of +$ however it makes it very difficult when needing to adjust the boxes.

If your field is holding a numeric value, re-define it as a decimal field rather than a text field. You should be able to use the caption to hold the "TRANSACTION FEE" text, and make the "+$" part of the display pattern. Click on the field, then click the Patterns... button on the Field panel to define the display pattern.

Use of captions in slideshows

New Muse User. I am building my first slideshow and using the Muse Slideshow Widget. I want to build 2 different types of slideshows, one with thumbnails and one without. The documentation and videos are helpful but could not find anything to help me display a caption for each picture. How do I do this?

Hello,
Please check the steps below for both the scenarios
Slideshow with thumbnail:
1. Select the thumbnail.
2. Now the caption that you can see in for the related image of the thumbnail.
3. Edit the caption as you wish.
4. Now if you click on another thumbnail you will observe that the Hero Image and caption test has changed.
5. Change the details as per your requirement/
6. Similarly you can change the cation for rest of the images in the slide show.
Slideshow with-out thumbnail:
1. Go to the slideshow options and check the thumbnail option. (By doing this thumbnails will become visible)
2. Follow the same steps given under "Slideshow with thumbnail" to updated captions
3. Once captions are upto date, go to Slideshow options and uncheck thumbnails.
Please let me know if you have any other query regarding the same.
For more details i would suggest you to check the posts below, this will give you more clarity about captions.

I was unaware of that feature, it works.

Adding multiple 100% width slideshows to the top of a page and using triggers to select. Is it possible???

Hi!
I am looking to create a changeable slideshow at the top of a webpage. I want to be able to select different slideshows to view at the top of the page and use triggers/buttons to select the relevant slideshow. This is for a catering site, so I would like that if the user clicks 'canapes' button the slideshow images at the top of the page will show canapes and the caption will show text about them, if they select the 'cocktails' button then a new slideshow will appear showing images of cocktails together with a relevant caption.
I thought this might be possible by placing slideshows within a lightbox or composition widget but seem to be banging my head against the wall! Can someone help?
Is it possible?
If yes, is there a youtube video to show how its done?
Any help much appreciated.
Martin

Is it possible? Yes... I wouldn't do it because having all those images sitting on the one (first) page will slow the page loading times down and just piss people off but thats your main answeer.
The compositions widgets allow you to build more complex ideas and is what I'd use to make this sort of thing in Muse...
p.s. if you just want something fast then have a look at what some people have already made to get ideas;
1. Templates – MuseLayers
2. iChef | Culinary Arts Adobe Muse Template | museGrid.com
3. RESOURCES | Adobe Muse CC

IWeb cuts of captions in slideshow .

I have to have rather long captions ( 6 or 7 lines ) in photo descriptions of my iWeb pages .
However I see that when they are shown as a slideshow ,iWeb cuts off the last 3 lines .
Is there a solution to this ?
Any genius out there .?
Thank you

The number of lines in the slideshow is set by the javascript that creates the slideshow. Cyclosaurus posted a way to edit the .js file that controls the height of the caption section so it would include all lines. See this topic: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8367274&#8367274. Let us know if you're successful with the workaround.

Single Thumbnail activate multiple page(image) slideshow?

I want to be able to have a single thumbnail from a lightbox slideshow visible on a webpage. That when clicked activates a slideshow with multiple images...not mulitple images on a single page like in the tutorial where the social network icons pop up, but rather that triggers an independent multipage slideshow.
Whenever I add an image it adds a thumbnail. I want one thumbnail to be seen for a 7 image slideshow. I can't figure out how to do this with the triggers. The tutorial also doesn't seem to address this.
Right now what I'm doing is creating a lightbox slideshow, turning all the thumbnails in all states transparent, then hiding the collection of thumbnails behind an image (the image being the single thumbnail I want displayed) but this is getting cumbersome with some many transparent lightboxes next to each other.
Is there a easier way. Its for a portfolio site, and each thumbnail should trigger a new project slideshow.

I am having the exact same issue as englishm87. I would like to have a portfolio page with a grid of theumbnails. Each thumbnail will then trigger the multipage slideshow. There is an example on the Adobe Muse website here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/muse/eliana-t-stein.html
I don't quite understand how you can nest the composition widget with the slideshow widget...
Could you provide more of a step by step answer?
Thanks!

Using multiple transitions in slideshow

Is there a way to use multiple transitions when creating a slideshow in idvd?

Hi
I don't think so.
AND - there are one very important thing with transitions and SlideShow in iDVD. They degrade the sharpness on the full DVD SlideShow. So avoiding them results in a far better DVD.
I assemble mySlideShows in iMovie HD6 (not iM'08 or 09 or 11 - as quality severely dropps) and here I'm free
to use any transition and can time it to the audio/music much better.
From here I DO NOT use Share to iDVD - but just close iMovie HD6 and import the movie project (icon with a Star on it) into iDVD - just to prevent iMovie to render (this also degrade the end result)

Using caption in Slideshow without showing empty or ""

I want to show text on selected individual slides in a slideshow . I know that I can use caption or title for this ( can I use either one or is there a preferred one ? ) .
However , not all the photos in the slideshow have captions, so for those without, it shows " < empty >" respectively 2 " ".
I want that there is nothing on the slide if there is no caption .
How can I do this ?
thank you

Thanks Rick
You are right, the EMPTY is not shown , but is still shows "" ( using the default caption and rating template ) .
So I cannot use it as intended , as I want to overlay the caption text over the photo.
Even when it has text , the markings at the beginnning and end have no reason to be there : " my text "
Is there a way to eliminate the "" marks ?
Is that an editable feature ?
Thanks

Help with Captions, within Slideshows

I'm struggling with trying to figure out how to customize the size and location of caption boxes, within each image of a slideshow. It seems that, once an initial caption box has been set in the first image, it appears in all consecutive images at the same location and size, with no means of individually controlling them. Am I overlooking something? Is there a way to customize the size and location of all captions within one slideshow? Your help/advise would be greatly appreciated. ~Thank you

hi DubuqueIA,
what do you mean by "Follow the same steps given under "Slideshow with thumbnail" tu updated captions" ?? where are these steps?
i btw have the same problem: edit together active or not - it always changes the size of all my captions. i just want one of my captions to be wider.

Captions in slideshow

I am able to see captions for individual images. I do not see them in the slideshow. Must I selection this display option somewhere or are captions not viewable in the starter edition?

Which version of Starter Edition are you using? In Starter Edition 3.0, the captions are visible when you create a PDF slideshow but not in the Full Screen Slideshow.

FLVPlaybackCaptioning - Multiple Caption Sources? (i.e multiple languages)

Hi folks,
Please forgive me if this is a simple (read easy to answer) question..... I really only build for flash in the Flex language where we don't have such a nice video playback component ;-)
I have a client that is wanting to put subtitles into their video, initially they were going to go with Quicktime - but I mentioned building an Air app - and they liked that idea.
But after looking at how to get captions into and Air app (using cue points..... long long long process) I started looking at that Flash FLVPlayback component, and how it can work with the FLVPlaybackCaptioning component.
Creating a Time Text format file for the captions should be easy (we use subtitle editors that can load/save in a variety of formats).... but what I am wondering... is it possible to have the FLVPlaybackCaptioning work with multiple files.... i.e one for English, one for Japanese etc etc.?
If so - I might have to considering getting Flash Professional for this one project (Catalyst, and Flash Builder are more than what we typically need already though).
Cheers,
Chris

Your video clips are from such widely differing sources that you may be able to color correct them closer to each other, but it will not be possible to do exact matching. You have sources that vary to the extreme in their source resolution and color content (sampling).
Choose one source as your 'standard' (I'd suggest it be the source you use the most, probably your DV or HD camcorder) and then see how well you can match the other sources to it. You will need to use the Color Corrector filter and should start out by setting the black & white points for each clip. The cellphone & webcam clips are going to be a nightmare to correct against HD and even DV.
Here are some articles on Ken Stone's website that may help:
Film Look for Video (read the section on Getting the Color Right for setting black & white points)
Color Correction/Finishing in FCP4 - good introduction to the subject; just remember that FCE only has a 2-way color corrector tool; the principles still apply, it's just harder to do it in FCE than in FCP.
Cheating in Final Cut Express: Better Color Correction
Tom Wolsky also addresses color correction in his excellent book Final Cut Express 4 Editing Workshop.

Floating captions under slideshow pictures

I have a slideshow where the pictures are of varying heights. I would like the caption to always appear just below the picture. Currently this is a problem because the long pictures overlap the caption and the short pictures have a large gap between the bottom of the picture and caption. How can I make a floating caption that stays just below the picture no matter how tall or short the picture is?

Hi Scott,
I will recommend that you use a composition widget instead where you will be able to align captions for individual images below them.
