Slide Show: Slide duration - not fixed? PSE 6

I wish to create a slide show for a presentation. I do not wish to pre determine the duration for which each slide is shown. Ideally I just want to click the mouse - preferably right click for forward and left click for backward (v. v. OK too), without positioning my mouse on an arrow when I want to change a slide. Just like I would do with an old fashioned slide projector. Is this possible?
Thanks.

bring the focus by clicking the first image by mouse. Then press right/left arrow on kwyboard achieves this. Let me know if you mean something different.

A slide show with audio created in PSE 9 plays fine in edit. When brought to Premier Elements for dvd burn, the audio no longer plays. It appears in the edit, but no audio is played. This happens consistently. What setting might be wrong?

That Photoshop Elements 9.0.3 Update has generally been discouraged by the Photoshop Elements gurus. But, I am not going to factor that into this at this point.
This is what I would ask you to look at in the Elements Organizer 9 accessed from the Photoshop Elements 9 or Premiere Elements 9.
a. Create your slideshow in the Elements Organizer 9/Create/Slideshow/Slideshow Editor. Then use the Output option of Edit with Premiere Elements.
From your description, you are probably using the Output Option of Burn to Disc DVD which will take your slideshow directly in the Disc Menu section of Premiere Elements 9. The preferred transfer of the Elements Organizer 9 slideshow to Premiere Elements 9 Editor is by the non wmv route "Edit with Premiere Elements" not the wmv route of Burn to Disc DVD.
Let us explore if any of the above is involved in your issue and then we will decide what next if necessary.
Thanks.

PSE 8 in Win 7 - Slide Show Editor does not display preview

I have a student who is not able to see the preview either in the monitor window or full screen in the Slide Show Editor. The individual slides are black. However, when the slide show is rendered it is fine. She also has PSE 7, and it works fine in this regards. Any ideas?
TIA
Don S.

Cowboy,
We will definitely check to make sure the color is set to 32-bit. What I meant to say in my earlier post was that in the various computers I bought over the years, I have never seen any with their "default" setting at less than 32-bit - at least I don't recall ever having to put them into the 32-bit mode. Also, I'm pretty sure my student did not go in and change the setting. But we are going to check, just to make sure.
Thanks again for your reply.

[Captivate 8] HTML5 Publishing - First Slide shows locally but not on test server

Hi all,
The Question
Has anyone run into this issue of the first slide not showing on HTML5 (and/or SWF) until you open up the TOC and select the recalcitrant slide and then it shows (and operates) just fine? Not on project load, just when it is selected.
The Description
I've only been using Captivate 8 for a short period of time, and I've run face first into a little bit of a bigger hurdle than I expected. At present, I have a simple, linear Captivate project that in essence replicates a Powerpoint (client specified). Everything was working just fine until I tried a HTML 5 Preview from Captivate 8 and first slide did not show. After some research my solutions to the problems I encountered was to:
Local preview occasionally causes a glitch. Solution: Publish locally and (pre)view the result. This didn't work.
Group all objects on the first slide and then attach the action Show to that group. This fixed the problem.
Following that I published it to a host server (test server at the moment, but ultimately it will the live dev server). I encountered the same problem, so:
Tried the group trick, above. No joy.
Opened up the TOC and navigated to the other slides. None of the buttons (previous slide, next slide) worked.
Renamed the "Mouse.mp3" to remove that annoying click. Result: All project buttons worked, but the first slide was not showing (grouped or otherwise).
Removed all master slide objects from the slide. No joy.
Removed the button (action: Next Slide) and reduced the play time of the slide to 5 seconds so that the slide would play upon loading, then just move to the next slide. No joy.
Tried all of the above with SWF and HTML 5 publication.
Tried all of the above with SWF only.
Once again, when I open up the TOC and navigate to the first slide ("Title Page") the blank slide that is populated only by the lonesome borders becomes the Title slide, as it should. Also, local preview from the file (\project\index.htm) works just fine.
Obviously I'm missing something. It's probably something incredibly obvious, so I thank you for your patience.
The Technical
Captivate 8.0.0.145
OS: Maverick OSX and Windows XP Pro SP1
Other: Adobe CS (up-to-date install)

First, apologies--I didn't see the "Getting Started" sub-community so if this thread can be moved there then thank you. Second, I missed some important details.
Project Details
Captivate 8, blank project*. Content at the moment is only text captions, media resources (pictures, two web objects [to Vimeo]), and transparent buttons. The project is stripped of the play bar as it is a self-paced lesson/module.
* I don't have the lead time to make this a responsive design, though that is the ultimate goal once the one-size-fits-all version (1024x627) has been released.
Testing Hardware Details
The following are the machines and browsers I've tested the HTML5 output on.
Mac (10.9.4) -- Chrome 36.0.1985.125 (hangs; need to open the TOC and click on "Title Page"), Firefox 30 (works fine), Safari 7.0.5 (9537.77.4) (works fine)
Windows 7 Pro SP1 -- IE 11 (works straight away! *shock*), Chrome 35.0.1916.153 m (hung, but on refresh worked fine), Firefox 31.0 (throws out unsupported error [known feature] but then loads up just fine).
Chromebook -- Chrome OS 35.0.1916.155 (worked straight off).
Smartphones -- Not supported, but iPhone 4S (iOS 7.1.2) (works fine, but not designed); Galaxy S5 Chrome (broken).
Tablets -- iPad2 (iOS 7.1.2) (play button loads partial content, on refresh works fine); Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Chrome (broken), Android Browser (works fine).
I'm more than willing to share a link to the project and the Captivate 8 file, but just thought that I would see if this gets any traction/recognition before going deeper.

Photo slide show "shuffle" is not random

I have over 10,000 photos on my ipod touch and they are in multiple folders. When I view a slide show on shuffle of my "Photo Library" (which contains all of the photos), the order is DEFINITELY not random. Approximately 90% or more of the photos shown are all from the same folder, and the rest seem random (although even the other 10% seem skewed towards a particular folder).
It's only been happening since a recent OS update, not sure which one though.
Has anyone else noticed this? Any way to fix it?

No one else is having this problem, or has a solution?
If the same problem happened with your music collection, it would be like having 9 songs from one artist, then 1 from another during a shuffle play.
Can someone please post the link to where I can make a suggestion/comment to Apple? Thanks.

Slide Shows...Not for the Web

Hello everyone,
Has anyone ever created a slide show that is projected from a
computer onto a large projector screen like one would with a Power
Point presentation. Power point uses vector based graphics as well
as flash, however, once you have the flash SWF, unless its
contrained in and HTML file or something like that, it doesn't blow
up to a computer screens resolution without blowing out the
graphics. I've played around with make slides and images larger
using a 1042x768 screen res, but is there a better way?
Thanks,
Kyle

Lightroom is first and foremost a media manager.
I suspect many would have reservations about this. Lightroom is a very limited media asset manager. I do not think this is a design goal for the application. It is designed to manage raw files from supported cameras and some other files - jpg, psd and tiff - and track videos taken with the camera - that's about it.
Many would argue most of the development energy has gone into the dev module.
Another thing to consider is performance. Because LR is attempting to faithfully reproduce the image as per edits to the dev module it builds and updates a large preview library which has performance and disk space implications.
As suggested, try before you buy.

HT5260 slide show screen saver not working

after I upgraded to mountain lion my slide show screen saver does not load and hols up my screen forever till sometime i have to force quit to be able to do anything else

Old T - I was not trying to use a theme from the default ML new shows. Some time ago - long time - I found out that the old slide screen savers built into OSX, Beach, Cosmos, Nature, etc., had their photos stored in the package contents Resources folder. It was then easy to create my own cusom show, y simple replacing the jpegs, and a little editing on the plist. Those gave you a little more options as well in the setup.
ML did away with all that, and you get Apple's choices and that's all. I did find out where the default "collections" are kept, and it appears that until someone gets a better hack, that I simply did the same thing here.... I replaced the jpegs in the National Geographic Collection with the slides from my old custom collection - actually I added - any Natl Geo shot is a good one!
So while we cannot control the action any more, I still have what I want. Sort of. I suppose I could have just pointed the Ken Burns Effect to the Custom Slides folder I have and accomplished the same thing. I guess I editted the default collection on principle!
Did they reallly need to mess with the Screen savers!!

Slide Show Parameters - Duration of Still

Hi Gang
Just need a jump start to resetting the length of time for Video in the Browser. I'd like this new parameter, (5 Seconds), to be used for all Stills/Photos inserted on the timeline.
It's for a simple slide show
Thanx
Mike

I still fairly new to FCE, but if you go to preferences there is a tab for all imported Photo's/Still, and you can specify the default duration of these.

Slide show and pictures not showing up on Mac G4 and older computers

Anyone that has tried viewing my website from a mac G4 or an older mac computer has had trouble viewing my pictures page. The page just comes up blank.
The URL is www.cbakerexteriors.com
Every page comes up fine except for the slideshow page. So far, I haven't heard of any problems with the site when visited on any PC computer or a G5 mac.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hey, I just viewed the slide with no worries I have powerbook G4 with firefox 2.0.0.11 so it's a browser issue not a g4 issue...

Slide Show settings will not hold

I can't get my slideshow to change from the dissolve transition mode to any thing else. I change the transition in three different places, but i still get the same results.
What am I doing wrong?
I'm using Iphoto 6.0.5. My slideshow has about 2000 pics if that might matter.
Thanks!!!!!!!

laturner66:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist and all of the contents of the User/Library/Caches/iPhoto folder. Then see if those changes will stick.
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Best way to create slide shows in PE4 and PSE 6

What's the best way to create a fancy slide show in PE 4 and PSE 6? I need to create a slide show of about 600 pictures. I'm on Windows XP with 3gb RAM. I've done this a few years ago in earlier versions of PE and PSE. Before i plunge into this again i wanted to get some overall guidance for what to do or not do.
My ultimate goal is to create a slide show that:
1. uses pan and zoom on every photo
2. transitions between every photo
3. has an audio track
4. has some nice special effects -- words and graphics that appear on slide at precisely the right moment to match the song, and stay on the screen as one slide transitions to another. i want the text to be able to move and fade in and out.
My view is that it's easy to accomplish #1-3 in PSE 6; it's quite simple to create a slide show, add pan and zoom, and transitions. However, #4 is not doable because adding text and graphics can only be done on a slide at a time and only when the slide start/stops (i.e., you can't have text appear 2 secs after the slide has started displaying and stay on screen while the next slide appears). Need PE 4 to do that.
What i'm wondering is:
-- is it best to create the basic slide show in PSE6 and then export to PE 4 to do the final fancy stuff, or is it best to just create the show in PE4? Seems that doing the pans, zooms, and transitions are easiest in PSE 6.

eric,
I am going to offer some reasons NOT to start this slide show in Photoshop Elements. This is despite the fact that I have used the workflow of starting in Photoshop Elements and used the Send Slideshow to Premiere Elements in PSE5 - PE 3 and PSE7 - PE7.
1- Timing differences between the PSE and PE slide show construction and processing
There are many differences in timing between the two products. Transitions can start/end slightly offset from their timing in PSE once they arrive and are processed in PE. Same for pan and zoom. Does this matter? Well the more precise your timing, the more potential for a show stopper.
Example: one person who wanted continual motion using pan and zoom needed to go modify the transition positioning and the keyframing of the pan/zooms on every single slide after sending a slideshow from PSE to PRE.
2- your requirement to
"words and graphics that appear on slide at precisely the right moment to match the song, and stay on the screen as one slide transitions to another. i want the text to be able to move and fade in and out."
You can't really sync the audio to a slide in PSE. The text can't move or fade in/out. I think that it will be more grief to retrofit these functions to a slide show that was created in PSE than it will be to do the all the work in Premiere Elements.
3- "Add the sound track for the ENTIRE slide show (this will be longer than i currently have slides for because i don't have all the photos"
I am suspicious that adding the ENTIRE sound track in one PSE slide show will not work.
I have done multiple sends from PSE slide show editor to Premiere Elements. However, I decided on the approach of using no audio in the PSE slideshow editor and adding Audio in Premiere Elements AFTER sending all the slide shows.
Again, your objective of syncing specific photos to music points is good artistically - but I am concerned that it will make your PSE to PRE workflow problematic.
4- "as new photos arrive, do the arrangement/pans/zooms in PSE and move them to PE"
As Steve mentioned when you do subsequent sends of the slideshow, it appends to the end - does not seem to fit your objective of replacing part of the middle.
Also if you get new photos in for the second section of the slideshow - but over in Premiere Elements you had already made other changes in the second section. There is no function to combine new changes doen in PSE and changes done in PE for that same "section" of the slideshow.
5- you did not say whether you will be outputting this slide show in Full Screen or Widescreen format. Will you be burning a DVD? If you will be doing widescreen output, additional problems with specifying pan/zoom in PSE have been identified on various forums because the PSE pan/zoom boxes are not widescreen aspect ratio.
Conclusion:
Some of my comments here are definitely subjective - however, it is my overall conclusion that your objectives and work plan are not a good fit for the Photoshop Elements slide show editor to Premiere Elements workflow.
My perspective on the Photoshop Elements slide show editor is that it is designed to simple, quick and easy. Therefore it has limitations.

PSE 7 Strips Out Slide Show Music

I have created a PSE 7 slide show of about 150 pictures. I have included a music track as background while the slides play. I full screen preview the slide show and all is good -- I can also save and go out of PSE 7 then go back in and open the slide show and re-preview and all is still good. I then select to output the slide show to DVD and let PSE and Premier run their standard course to get to a burned DVD. All is good, no errors, and the process completes ending in a burned DVD.
Problem is that near the beginning of the process, when PSE 7 creates the .wmv file, it strips out the music track for the slide show. I know this is where the problem occurs because I have gone in and played the .wmv file in Windows Media Player and the slides are fine but no music.
I have done the exact same thing with only 6 slides and music is in fact included. The burned DVD of that small slide show plays fine and with music.
What is going on??? Does making a slide show with 150 pictures push the limits of what PSE 7 can handle, even though I get no error messages???
Thanks!

PSE slide show has some issues with high resolution images. Please reduce the size of the image 1000 x 700 and create/burn DVD.

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.

Second button on menu for slide show does not work.

Anyone else having problems with this? Despite three separate attempts using different photos, different Macs and different themes... it is always the second button (to access the second folder) in the slide show that does not work. It fails to access the slides in the folder.
Our conclusion finally was that this is a bug, so we used only text buttons and put the second button over to the side of the main menu with just a period in it, and one image in the folder (it will not allow a folder without any images) and then we can skip from the first button to the third (seen on the screen as the second button) and bypass the problem.
Has anyone come up with an explanation or a better solution?
