Show captions in Aperture Slideshow

I am creating a movie consisting of a few Aperture slideshow segments, and other clips. I want to show captions on some of the slides of Aperture; how do I do that? I see how to add them into the metadata, but what is it that makes them viewable as the slide shows?

It will depend on the slideshow theme, if you can show the captions as an overlay. If it is available, you can enable "Text" in the "Selected Slide" setting for individual slides or "default Settings" for all slides. For example in the "Classic Theme":
The same will work for the Ken Burns Theme, but not for the other more elaborate themes.

    Not sure what you are refering to. Explain "captions" and what you want to do.

  • Since updating to iTunes 11 music no longer shows up in Aperture Slideshows

    Since updating to iTunes 11 I can no longer see iTunes music in the Aperture browser for slideshows, it also seems that import of audio doesn't work.

    Do you see iTunes in other applications - Pages, iMovie? If not, you may need to rebuild your iTunes library, see:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
    For me, iTunes '11 works very well with Aperture 3.4.3.

  • How do I show and aperture slideshow on Apple TV?

    I would like to show an aperture slideshow on Apple TV with airplay.  Is this possible or do I have to export it as quicktime or something fir

    Do you have any suggestion for making my flat screen color match my monitor better? I calibrate my monitor using Color Eyes Display Pro, so I am aware that I may never have an exact match, but it would be great to be closer.
    Also, what is 'handbrake'?
    Thanks again!
    Handbrake is a video conversion application. It transcodes DVDs, BluRay video or any simple video file such as those output by Lightroom into almost anything you want, but focused on files that iPhones and AppleTV understands. It's online here: http://handbrake.fr/ . I use it on all my video to lower the filesize significantly. I don't do a lot of video, but sometimes do "behind the scenes" stuff simply in iMovie, but the files that output are crazy large and can be really lowered in size simply by running them through handbrake.
    Regarding the color matching, this can generally be done by calibrating the settings on your HDTV using something like a calibration disk. Generally these TVs (even if they are big name brands) come really badly calibrated out of the box to oversaturate color and give way too much contrast and far too high black levels as that is what consumers tend to like. They are also generally set up to sharpen the images, which you really do not want as it changes contrast (it impacts gamma) and such so turn off all sharpening and all dynamic contrast modes in the TVs menus. If you have kids, the Disney BluRay disks include a calibration tool that works really well. I have used the one on our Toy Story 3 BluRay disk to calibrate the living room HDTV. Afterwards I get really good matching results from it when streamed to from the AppleTV.

    How can I create a slideshow that depicts only a version of a photo rather than the original?   Since the original and new versions are saved together, the aperture slideshow often choices the original rather than the desired version to display.

    There are two things we use the name "Slideshow" for in Aperture:  a Slideshow Album, used for making Slideshows, and the Slideshow that is made.  (Imho, it is a design mistake to not call the containers used to create Slideshows, Books, etc., "Albums".)
    The Slideshow will use the Album Pick from any Stack.  A good way to use Aperture is to promote the Image you want to regularly use (such as, for example, a Version with adjustments) to the top of the Stack.  This makes it the Stack Pick, and will be the default Album Pick.  If you haven't done that, you can still change the Album Pick for any Stack in a Slideshow Album.  Expand your Stack(s), select the Image in each Stack that you want to be the Album Pick (and thus shown in the Slideshow), and "Stacks➞Set Album Pick".  (Note the keyboard shortcut; there is also a Toolbar icon for this.)  The change is immediate.  The Slideshow will always show the Album Pick (or, if there is not one, the Stack Pick) for every Stack in your Slideshow Album.

  • Captions and no captions with multiple slideshows (a bug in idvd 6?)

    Hi,
    I am having a problem with the captions option in multiple slideshows, and am wondering if this a bug within idvd 6. My project has two slideshows which I created within idvd because I wanted the manual option of forwarding through your slides on tv. I have one slideshow with captions selected and the other has captions deselected. Both slideshows preview correctly in idvd, but when I burn the dvd to a disk, I either get both slideshows with captions or both without. The only way around this was to select captions for both slideshows and then manually delete the captions out of the slideshow that I didn't want them to appear. Is this a known glitch with idvd 6?

    I foolishly tried this on a separate Mac on a different library, that one with 22000 images that I had not edited (since the old iPhoto would just die a slow death on that sized library).
    I actually only spent the money for iPhoto 6 (iLife's remainder package did not have any compelling use for me right now) and its ability to handle 25000 images.
    Well, it is faster (i.e. it does not go to sleep for 12 minutes) if I click the scroll button but the blank images problem showed up there also. And ALL of those pictures were standard jpgs and not one was from a weird camera or ever modified or otherwise tweaked if that were an excuse for iPhoto 6 misbehaving with some pictures.
    VERY annoying and very strange that they would not see this in Beta testing. Assuming they do test. So, folks, if you are planning to buy iLife for iPhoto, be forewarned. I will add this to my TO BUY OR NOT TO BUY blog entries at http://imran.com/media/blog/ so people are aware.

  • IPhoto on my MacBookPro does not open - shows a box "Aperture library needs to be upgraded". I do not have Aperture installed and I am not interested to do so.

    On my MacBookPro - After updating iPhoto 11 to version 9.3.1, it does not open and shows a box "Aperture library needs to be upgraded" with choices to update or Quit. If I quit it closes iPhoto - if I try to update it goes to the App Store and requires a purchase of Aperture - I do not want to purchase Aperture.

    If you tried the First Aid Tools without success, make a backup of the iPhoto Library and rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager as described by Terence Devlin:
    uprgraded to yosemite all good but iphoto crashes every time I attempt to upgrade the photo library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, 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.
    Download iPhoto Library Manager here:  http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/

  • Can I make an aperture slideshow and use it in iweb?

    I need to know if I can make an aperture slideshow and use it in iweb (not making it a quicktime movie)? I don't want to use I photo (I know how to make one in Iphoto and put it in Iweb and I dont want to do this). (dont want a .mac gallery either) Please help. thank you!!!

    Aperture slide shows are just for review. They can not be output. TBMK
    Honestly, you've exhausted most of what iLife can do, and quicktime will probably be your output even if you go to Keynote to make your slide show.
    But with Keynote you'll have more control over how the Quicktime is compressed.
    Otherwise, you're looking at the expense AND the learning curve of Flash.
    Maybe someone else will chime in with a 3rd party solution.

  • Can you make captions for a slideshow?

    can you make captions for a slideshow? otherwise how can i rename the photo so that i can select view titles in the slideshow and use it as a caption?

    Jim lo:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can't make captions with iPhoto. You can edit the title of a photo by selecting it and then going to the Info window at the bottom of the Source pane, the "i" button, clicking on the title field and enter what text you'd like.
    If you plan on using the slideshow in iDVD then those titles will not show as they will be lost in the "overscan" area that is common to all movies played on TV. You can create the slideshow in iMovie and have lots of control over titles and subtitles and greater control of the audio track, cut, fade in/out, etc.
    Do you Twango?

  • Importing Captions from Aperture or iPhoto

    I am creating a web site with iWeb. When I add pictures to iWeb from Aperture or iPhoto, the version name shows but not the Caption. How do I get the full Caption to show?

    Cannot import captions from Aperture to iWeb per Apple support.

  • Show captions in library Browser

    In Aperture's Library Browser, I can't find a way to show Captions under the photos... Just the filename by default.  Surely there's a way to show more of the options you see in Split View..?

    You can show three lines of metatdata below an image in the viewer in split view, and one line in the film strip below the viewer.  Edit the metadata preset for the metadata overlays to be shown in viewer, browser, list view. You get to the "edit" from the button with baggage label or using the command "View > Metadata Display > Customize ⌘J".

  • Aperture slideshow export to Pal

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows of a way I can export aperture slideshows to PAL to import in dvd studio pro for a dvd in the UK?
    I have tried converting the videos with ffmgegx but the quality is not great?
    Any ways around this would be very helpful, thanks

    Aperture only produces a digital file of your slide show PAL refers to the encoding used when making a video disk.
    Whether the video disk is encoded PAL or NTSC is determined by the software you are using to create the video disk.

  • Showing 'comments' on a Slideshow?

    hello-
    Is it possible to show my "comments" on a photo on my Slideshow? aside from showing the 'title' of my .jpg during the Slideshow - It doesn't seem like I can show my comments?
    I want captions on my slideshow- but i dont want to rename all my titles to captions, and i dont want the CIMG01 to show up as a title!
    Does this make sense? Anyone have any ideas? I thought that maybe Apple would have corrected this in iLife '08- but i cant find it....
    Please help!

    mishkin:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can only have the title displayed during a slideshow. However, there's an apple script that will take your comments and put them in the title field for use in the slideshow. You can find it here: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070822121100394&query=applescript %2Btitle. Be sure to read the comments as they point out an error in the script that's easy to correct.
    Another slideshow application that can use iPhoto images and titles seamlessly is PhotoPresenter. It has some 27 themes that are outstanding. This is just one of them.
    Do you Twango?
    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.

  • Another Aperture slideshow and iDVD question

    When ultimately making a DVD, why do some people export their Aperture slideshow to iMovie and then iDVD, while others export the slideshow to the desktop and then import directly to iDVD (skipping iMovie)?  I suppose another question is: is there somewhere an idiot's guide to all the various output and resolution options?  I'm reading that if you export at too high a resolution, iDVD will jack that back down and then you get "artifacts."  Are there optimal export resolutions for, say, Standard TVs and HDTVs when exporting from Aperture to iDVD?  Thank you!!

    MarkPek,
    To add to what leonieDF has said. 
    I don't use Aperture for slide shows very often, but I make hundres of DVD's with iDVD and Toast.
    All DVD's are standard definition, unless you use aa application like Toast and create a AVCHD Bluray disk.  It doesn't mater what type of TV you play it on, it's SD.  Some TV's do a good job of upscaling and the SD looks very good on them.
    If you were to send a folder of full resolution 20 MP ( or whatever your camera is) images to iDVD there may be problems.  I don't think iDVD is a very good at rescaling images.  Sending 1920 x 1080 images or movies to iDVD has worked very well for me.  I expect 720p would do well also. 
    I would recomend you do a test of a slide show of 1 min or less and trry a few different settings.  I would try to export with a preset of Apple TV,iPad for a starter.  Note that using Apple TV iPad 720p will give you a frame rate of 24, where as the other Apple TV is 30 fps.  I have never tried feeding iDVD a movie that was 24fps,  I not sure how that would go.  I may give that a try and see what happens. 
    I use FCPX not iMovie, but I think that iMove works the same way.  In the moive editing software you can just drag your Aperture stills into the timeline from the photo browser to creat your slide show/movie.  But realize that the movie editing sofatware will actually use your Aperture previews for this.  So your preview preference will determine the resolution of the images going into your movie.  If your previews are set real low the results may not be very good.  A setting that is closer to your monitor resoulton would work very well.
    Do a test and let us know hoiw you make out.  If I get a chance tomorrow I'll drop a quick slide show into iDVD.  I'll export the same slide show with a few differnt settings and then put them all on one DVD to play back. 

  • Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date.  The files show up on the hard drive but many are not showing up in Aperture.

    Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date.  The files show up on the hard drive with import date not created date, but many of these same files are not showing up in Aperture. Sometimes the clips actually show up with the current import but take on the video information from a previously imported file.

    It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did. 
    Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
    I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!
