Slide Show export Error

Whenever I create a slide show and try to export it to iDVD I get an error message that says 'Export movie file could not be saved'.
I can export single pictures without any problem but cannot export the slide show to either iDVD or as a file.
Any idea what the problem may be? I'm using iPhoto 5.0.4 and OS 10.4.3. I've deleted .plist files and that didn't solve the issue.
Thanks,
Doug

Lori, I guess I should have mentioned that I tried that suggestion after browsing the forum. I do have a Movies Folder.
I opened iDVD and started a new project. Left iDVD open and tried to export the slide show- same error message. I then quit iDVD and tried again-same error message.
I get the same error message when trying to export to iDVD and when just doing a straight export so I don't think it has anything to do with iDVD.
Thanks,
Doug

Using FCE to improve an iPhoto slide show exported DV file

Hello everyone
I was looking for a quick good way to create a slide show easily, without manually adding various transitions, panning etc....
Well, iPhoto makes a great slide show, fast n easy music and all.
I've exported a Slide Show as a 'Large Sized DV File'.
Only problem, as everyone knows, the iPhoto Slide Shows look great on a high resolution computer screen, but when using the exported DV file on a DVD, it's not as good.
I have found however, that re-importing it into FCE, rendering it, and re-exporting it, produces better results when this DV File is used on the DVD.
Anyone have any comments about this?
Thanx
Mike

Hello my fellow film freind

Oh I see then
Thank you

Slide Show Audio Error Message

I am getting an error message, "The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (codec) installed."
This is what the adobe support says about it, "The error occurs because the file contains copy protection, digital rights management, or another mechanism that prevents it from being used outside of designated applications or devices. To use this content in an Adobe product, you will need to obtain a copy of such content from the copyright holder or their licensee, who are able to provide the content without such copy protection."
Does anyone know how I go about getting that unprotected copy from the copyright holder to use in my slide show?

What type of file is it?
You really need mp3. If it’s a track you purchased from iTunes, try deleting album art before using the track.

Audio in slide show exported to iDVD

According to Apple, when a Keynote slide show is exported to iDVD, any audio in the slideshow is written to a separate file which is not referenced in iDVD and so won't be burned onto a DVD with the images. This means that the iDVD project and the audio file have to be imported to iMovie and edited before burning to DVD (what a mess!!!), but I recently was successful in exporting a slideshow to iDVD (God knows how!!! - I've not been able to do it since), and the audio was retained and played with the movie.
Does anyone out there have any idea how this happened? Like I say, I've not been able to export a Keynote slide show to iDVD since. After a total of 5 attempts and about 36 hours, I still have not succeeded in creting an iDVD project with my latest slide show of 184 images, never mind the sound track.
Please don't tell me I have to move to Microsoft!!!!

Just played it on my iMac and the audio is fine. The track plays twice yet I have it set to fit to audio dissolve. The track is 3:44 and I have 78 pictures. iDVD make the slide show 7:29

Sequence order of a Slide Show exported?

I just spent some time reordering 86 pictures in a slideshow in an order I like. Now I'd like to make a web gallery in the same order. I "Share" my pictures with myself via email to get 640X480 Jpegs but they retain the file names my camera gave them and assume that order when I use Adobe Photoshop's Batch Web Photo Gallery Action Hero. Can that Slidewhow be made into a web gallery, album, book, or...? Or should I have done my sequencing in an Album first. Thanks.

Since you have the symptom of black images for slide show editor preview playback and the output file, I wonder
1 -- if the Windows userid under which you are running has Administrator authority ?
If not, then using an Administrator userid may solve your problem.
It has been a relatively common problem in various versions of PSE to have the black screen on the playback within the PSE slide show editor if you run under some type of limited authority Windows userid. Then the problem of no image in the output video also happens.
2 -- What version of PSE and what operating system are you running?
If point 1 did not resolve your problem .....
What other versions of PSE (including trials) have you had installed on this computer ? Which version of PSE was installed most recently ?
There have been some experiences where installing a new version of PSE (even a trial) looses some settings required for the slideshow editor of a previously installed version.

Lightroom 3 Slide Show Quality Issues Anyone?

I am experiencing slideshow quality issues with LR 3.2 using Canon 5D MKII 21 Mp RAW files. My Canon Digital Rebel 6 Mp RAW files produced high-quality slideshow PDFs using LR1 and LR2. The 5DMKII RAW files produce soft PDF imaging, regardless of preview rendering or slide show export settings in LR3, and I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING! I then went back and tried doing a LR3.2 slideshow PDF with my Digital Rebel 6Mp files and they are much higher resolution, regardless of the settings in LR 3.2 – The exact opposite of my 5DMKII slideshows. Go figure, the 6Mp images are superior in LR 3 slideshow than the 21Mp 5DMKII images!
I developed a simple work around that improves the quality of slideshow PDFs when using larger Mpixel file images:
1)      Select the images you want use for your slideshow and export them to JPEG, sRGB, 80-100% Quality, Resize to fit: 1536 x 1024 Resolution, NO Output Sharpening
2)      Import the 1536 x 1024 JPEG files and place them into a collection, sort their order, and add caption or title information if needed.
3)      Open the collection in Slideshow Module and select a template you like, or create your own custom template.
4)      Play the slideshow and let it create previews when prompted. Adjust slideshow template settings until happy with the layout.
5)      When finished with the slide show template, save as it as a ‘New Template’ for future use.
6)      Next select ‘Export PDF Slideshow,’ Quality 80-100, Width 1600, Height 1200, and Save.
7)      View the slideshow ‘Full Screen’ in PDF reader. It should have much higher resolution than normal slideshow export when using > 8 Mp files.
It takes a few extra steps, but not much additional time to create slideshows using this method.
Adobe must be aware of this problem, and probably does not apply sharpening to files >8Mp for PDF slideshow export to correct for over sharpening of Portrait images. This is just a guess! If you export RAW images to full size JPEGs and use these JPEG files to create a PDF slideshow, the Portrait images will look over-sharpened in Adobe reader! Using my work around process, the landscape and portrait images appear fairly uniform in sharpness, even though the portrait images are 2/3 the resolution of the portrait images ( 1024 x 683 versus 1536 x 1024). This is one of the issues Adobe needs to correct with the Slideshow Module PDF Export program module.
That must be hard to do! Let’s see, who is the developer of Acrobat and PDF format…Oh I forgot it’s ADOBE! As a 45-year veteran of the computer technology industry I've seen worse things, but this is very disappointing when you consider Lightroom is now a “mature” version 3 generation program! Yes, Separate slideshow programs are available, but why should you need to use one if all you want is “basic” slideshow capability!

After much trial and error I discovered using the 'Widescreen' template provided in the slideshow module provides very sharp imaging for PDF export. I haven't tried video export, but I would assume it is similar. I cannot explain why this is, because even when I change the guides from 0px to say 60px (i.e. no longer widescreen fill) the images are sharper than using any other template.
Try using 'Widescreen' template. Then try adjusting the guides using 'Widescreen’ template, and save as a new user template. I have no idea why it makes a difference, but it does!

Why can't I get a song to load from itunes, or Amazon to the slide show?

I have created 3 slide shows in Photoshop Elements 11. No problem until I tried to add audio. First slide show used song from itunes, no problem, 2nd slide show complete try to add new song I downloaded from itunes JUST for this slide show. Error message : codec required....I spent the next 3 hours attempting to solve the problem, downloaded same song from Amazon and still will not work. I have also download Realplayer and still no luck. I even downloaded the song into media of photoshop but can't get it from the organizer to the editor on the slide show.

For itunes, try deleting the album artwork, then try again.

Slide Shows not behaving

I just spent last night going over iphoto 09 and found it very frustrating how the slide show settings would not change when requested.
To begin with I would create a new slide show, then adjust the settings and play. Sometimes the inital settings edit would work, but after the second edit on the settings it would revert to the initial settings. Any clues?

Same problem here, check out what I just wrote to Apple. Sorry it is lengthy but I like putting all the details.
Hello Apple, I have some bugs to report about the slide show ability in iPhoto iLife09. There just was an update for iPhoto, that was for a few things plus slide show export. After that up it seems like this problem is a little worse. For the bulk of us who just want to use iPhoto for the sideshow "not export" right now I can't. I've had this issue for a while, where I want to play songs from one of my play lists but only the first song will play now nothing at all. When I just last tried to play one, the slide show played no music and I could not get out of it period. Esc, Apple Q, control option esc, nothing worked, the photos for some reason where also cut off only showing half or only a third of the photos. Right now on my system there is a serious bug, glitch, or something causing this. Please help, I still love the other features to much now like the faces and places to go back to the iLife 08 version. I really need the slide show to perform well to show my photos off to others. Using iTunes was a pain but it was a work around, but now with the photos not even showing correctly I can't use it.

How do I make a DVD of my slide show

Made a slide show, exported it to iTunes where it now resides in "home movies" as a video. How can I make a DVD of my slide show?

If you right click on the movie in iTunes and choose "Show in Finder" you can then drag and drop the movie into the theme of your choice in iDVD. More information on iDVD here: http://www.apple.com/support/idvd/

Maps slide show: Unable to download Maps

I am trying to create a slide show from iPhoto 11 with Maps.
I have a few hundred photos. When I play the slide show, iPhoto errors out while downloading the maps - complains about connection to the internet.
I tried the photos in batches - 50/100 photos at a time and I don't have problems downloading the maps.
But there is only one photo that creates problem with downloading the maps.
The photo was taken near the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco - If I manually list the place as California, the maps download without a problem.
But if I use the GPS co-ordinates captured with the photo, when it was taken with the iPhone (or) if I list the place as San Francisco or say Kirby Cove or Golden Gate Park, it has problems downloading the maps.
How do I get around this issue?

They probably need to install this. It's free and it lets macs see .wmv files:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/17787/flip4mac-wmv-player
Another possiblity is that their version of flash is too old:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=BUIGP
Finally, you don't say which version of OS X they're using, but there have been imac models for well over ten years now, so their machine/operating system could also just be too old.

HT1338 I have a slide show in iphoto that I wish to export to iDVD, and when I attempt that I get and error message triangle, ! with the note "This movie contains an invalid data reference" iphoto help does not seem to have any suggestions, that work.

I have a slide show (project) that will not export. The error triangle appears with the message: "This movie contains an invalid data reference" What is the issue, and what is the solution?
jh

I found that the issue was with the title side, it had too many characters in the slide. When the number of characters was diminished, the show loaded without issue.

Iphoto crashing and ERROR message when trying to EXPORT to slide show

I am producing a simple Slide Show to be shown tomorrow at 8am.
I created it in IPHOTO but an older version. I did some tests last night and today. Worked fine.
Now that it is done I tried to EXPORT it to Quicktime, as a H.264 Quicktime movie.

Stills only and no music. Classic with simple dissolves from one photo to next.
Export and proceed and I leave it alone. After about 1/2 hour or so it crashes and give ERROR message and say
"unable to process" or complete.
I have tried several times and changed specs. Still crashes.
What happened to Apple's Chat Support? Are then not online after a certain time?
On an IMAC with 16 Gbs of RAM, and have space left on drive. this is not complex.
anyone? It is due tonight so I can Hightail send it to AV people and it needs to be downloaded
tonight or EARLY tomorrow for showing at 8am.
thanks to anyone who can help.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
☞ Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.
