Playing Elements 5.0 slideshow on TV -pics look very dark

Help! I'm almost finished with a slideshow of my daughter's first year. I've spent about 30 hours on it only to play the DVD on TV and find that many of the pictures look super dark. I'm confused because the photos looked perfect on my computer screen. Am I an idiot? Is there an easy solution? Any advise would be greatly appreciated as I am running out of time.
I'm using Elements 5.0 and Premiere 3.0.
Thanks!

Since no one else has posted any suggestions, here are some thoughts.
1 - Can you try to play this DVD on a different TV?
It may help to know if this happens with multiple TVs.
What type of monitor is your TV - CRT, LCD, Plasma? What type of monitor do you have on your PC or laptop where you made the slideshow?
2 - Check the User's Guide for your TV DVD player and see if it will play JPEG files from a CD. If it will play JPEGS, write a few of the photo files which seemed the darkest during the slideshow, to a CD. Write just the photo file in JPEG format, no extras like music or pans and zooms. Then try to play that CD in your TV DVD player. Are the photos dark?

  • Playing IPOD Video / Picture Slideshow on TV?

    Hi All,
    I wanted to know if there was a way to play Video &/or Picture slideshows on my TV?
    Thanks...

    Ignore the other post as it's complete piffle.
    You need one of these cables specific to the iPod Classic. No other cable will work.

    This category is for iPod shuffle.  Is that the type of iPod you have, because your description of the problem does not sound like it's about a shuffle?  If it's not a shuffle, what is the iPod model...?
    There is music there and I can play it connected to laptop.
    Are you doing the playing using the iPod, or are you playing the music using iTunes on the laptop?
    All mucis icons read "No music" and this is not correct
    Do these icons with "No music" appear on the laptop's screen, or on the iPod's screen

  • When using photoshop elements as editor in iPhoto the pic does not show up when PS opens

    Ralph9430 offers a good suggestion.  But you may need to do this before taking his advice:
    Check in iPhoto's Preferences (which you can open from the iPhoto menu).  Look in General, and make sure "Connecting Camera Opens" is set to "Image Capture").
    If it is set to "iPhoto", you won't be able to get to Image Capture easily.

  • Elements 10 project slideshow freezes during output

    Elements 10 project slideshow freezes during output.  When writing to CD it freezes about 70%.  When output to hard drive is selected, it freezes around 39%.  This is a show I have been working on for a few days.  It has been working but can no longer use the output feature.
    O/S:  Windows 7
    I downloaded the trial of Premiere and the show outputs without any problems.  I don't really want to buy another program.  Can anyone think of a solution?

    a lot of that didn’t apply and I’m not tech savvy enough to figure the rest out... but. I uninstalled elements and elements premier, I didn’t realize this allows you to de-activate as part of the uninstall process, in e9 I de-activated from the toolbar. I saved my projects folder from my catalog to a disk. When I re-installed everything and loaded my projects I was able to open my slide show. I also “refreshed” my Windows 8 because it was having problems as well.
      I attempted to save the slide show as WMV again and again if failed, halfway through playback it froze and kept flickering. This slide show is only 4 minutes long with around 30 photos. I had used a different transition between each photo, I changed all but 2 to fade, this time it worked perfectly. I’m strictly an amateur, learning as I go, I intend to watch tutorials and learn more, but does it say anywhere that using multiple transitions in a slideshow can result in problems? I can’t believe it is my PC, I am using a 2 month old Dell XPS 8500 Special Edition, i7 3rd gen., 32Gb memory, Bluray burner, Radeon 7870 graphics with Windows 8, every driver is up to date.
    Thanks for your assistance. Darryl

  • Can't play music from shared slideshow using Front Row (or iPhoto)

    Can anyone play a shared slideshow and have the music from that shared slideshow play in Front Row?
    I can't get the sound to come through either in iPhoto or Front Row.
    It seems to me that you should be able to do this.
    1. We can play shared music.
    2. We can play shared photos and slideshows
    3. But I can't play shared slideshows with the selected music from that shared slideshow..........
    Anyone.... ?
    I don't think this is possible at this time but would like to know for sure if anyone else can do this?

    Heya Joseph,
    Yes you can play shared music in front row.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1655.html
    Now as far as a slideshow I would think so as well as the authorization for that music comes from iTunes to iPhoto.
    Heya Justin,
    Remove the following files to the trash (do not empty until you test for function):
    ~/library/caches
    ~/library/preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist
    ~/library/preferences/com.apple.frontrow.plist
    ~/library/preferences/com.apple.iphoto.plist
    - Open iPhoto - then quit
    - Open iTunes - then quit
    - Repair your permissions - > http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh17.html
    - Restart your computer again
    - Test and see how its working
    Hope that helps!

    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)

  • N96 - Media key - Pics look blocky

    Hi folks,
    On my N96, when I hit the media key to bring up the rotating menu and go into photos / pics most of the thumbnails
    look very blocky,blurred and pixelated and still look blocky when I click on them to bring them out as such.
    The original files look fine, if I copy them back over to the PC they look as they should do. 
    If I go into Photos from the menu I have the same problem. 
    I have no idea what's caused this, it's almost as if most of my pics have lost resolution somehow.
    Any ideas? This is really annoying.
    Nokia 5800... probably the best Nokia I have ever owned.

    Hi,
    Did display lose the quality of resolution in every case or only when you see pictures. How's with video, with screen.
    1.If yes, I suppose this can be a displays failure and you should go to Nokia Service.
    2.If not, try with software: default settings, soft reset, update - if it doesn't help go to point above.

  • My new 7D gets very dark pics indoors when using "automatic" settings. Whats wrong?

    My new Canon 7D gets very dark pics indoors when everything is set on "Automatic".  So did my 60D, which i traded in for the 7D because of disappointing dark pics when on "Automatic".  This happens with the built-in flash, and also with my 430EX II external flash.
    What am I doing wrong?  I would like to make it work properly on "Automatic".
    Thanks,

    Oh, sorry, I misunderstood.  That must be your exposure compensation.  Is it centered?

    Restoring from backup will result in the iPod being like it was when the backup was made. If you restore via iTunes, you have to have all the synced media in your iTunes library since those are not included in the iPod backup.

    Unless you did it in pse7 or pse 8, then you really can't change the interface colors in pse 9 or pse 10.
    The only color you can easily change in the interface of the editor is the padding color around the document by right clicking outside the document bounds.

  • Performance problems when using Premiere Elements for photo slideshows

    Hello,
    I had been using Premiere Elements 9 (PE9) to make a simple slideshow for my parents from their vacation trip and I ran into some serious performance problems.  I had used it to create similar projects before, but not nearly as big.  This one is like 260 photos, so basically it is 260 seperate clips.  I have a POWERHOUSE workstation (see below) so it isn't my PC.  Even when PE9 crashes, looking at my performance monitor my CPU and RAM aren't even halfway being utilized.  I finally switched to Windows Movie Maker of all things and it worked seemlessly, amazing really.  I'm wondering if I was just using PE9 for something other than what it was designed for since there weren't really any video clips, just a ton of photos that I made into video clips, if that makes sense.  Based upon my experience with this so far, I can't imagine using PE9 anymore for anything really.  I might have the need for a more professional video editing program in the near future, although it does seem like PE has a lot of features.  How can I make sure it utilizes my workstation to its full potential?  Here are my specs:
    PC
    Intel Core i7-2600K 4.6 GHz Overclocked
    ASUS P8P67 Deluxe Motherboard
    AMD Firepro V8800 Video Card
    Crucial 128 GB SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Drive (Operating System)
    Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4x4GB) Memory
    Corsair H60 Liquid CPU Cooler
    Corsair Professional Series Gold AX850 Power Supply
    Graphite Series 600T Mid-Tower Case
    Western Digital Caviar Black 1 TB SATA III Hard Drive

    Logitech Wireless Gaming Mouse G700
    I don’t play any games but it’s a great productivity mouse with 13 customizable buttons
    Wacom Intuos5 Pen Tablet
    Yes, this system is blazingly fast.  I have yet to feel it slow down, even with Photoshop, Lightroom, InDesign, Illustrator and numerous other apps running at the same time.  HOWEVER, Premiere Elements 9 has crashed NUMERUOS times, every time my system wasn't even close to being fully taxed.

    Andy,
    There ARE some differences between PrE and PrPro w/ an approved CUDA-capable and MPE hardware acceleration-enabled nVidia video card, but those differences show up ONLY in the quality of the Scaling. The processing overhead is almost exactly the same, when it comes to handling the extra pixels.
    As of PrPro CS 5, two things changed:
    The max. size of Still Images went up from 4096 x 4096 pixels, to quite a bit larger (cannot recall the numbers now).
    The Scaling algorithms have been improved, though ONLY with the correct nVidia cards, with MPE hardware support enabled.
    Now, there CAN be another consideration, between the two programs, in that PrPro CS 5 - CS 6, are 64-bit ONLY, so one benefits from the computer and OS to run it. PrE can be either 32-bit, or 64-bit, so one might, or might not, be taking advantage of the 64-bit program and OS. Still, the processing overhead will be almost identical, it's just that the 64-bit OS can spread it around a bit.
    I still recommend Scaling the large Still Images in PS, prior to Import, to keep that processing overhead as low as is possible. Scaled Still Images work just fine, and I have one Project with 3000+ Scaled Still Images, that edits just fine in PrPro, even on my older 32-bit workstation. Testing that same machine, and PrPro some years ago, I could ONLY work with up to 5 - 4096 x 4096 Stills, before things ground to a crawl.
    Now, Adobe AfterEffects handles large Still Images differently, so I just moved that test Project to AE, and added another 20 large Images, which edited just fine. IIRC, AE can handle Still Images up to 10K x 10K pixels, and that might have gone up, as of CS 5.
    Good luck, and hope that helps,
    Hunt
