Timing of pictures and audio

Hello,
Help me PLEASES! I'm trying to make a slideshow for my friend's wedding. I successfully added pictures and audio. However, I want certain pictures to show during a certain song. How do I make certain pictures go with a certain song without having to mathematically calculate how many pictures should go to each song?

My experience with slideshows and iDVD tells me they play for slightly different durations whilst previewing to when one has actually burnt the disc, so the mathematical solution may be a little frustrating. To compensate for this I sometimes use black slides to space the images and generally end the project with two as I find the audio invariably finishes before the visuals. You may try importing each image as a still into a new iMovie project, thus being able to compose your project in the timeline viewer, showing precisely where each image is in relation to your various audio files, adjusting the duration of each still image manually (or its transition) to fit the audio. Your only limit here of course is you won't have the same transitions as iDVD (I do love droplet) but this may be compensated by the fact you can add the Ken Burns effect. Import this then to iDVD. Good luck, this is my first reply, it is usually me seeking help!

TS2972 My Apple TV does not let me see vídeos from my Apple devices (iPhone And iPad), but is working Good with pictures And audio in internet radio transmited from my iPhone And my iPad

My Apple TV does not let me see vídeos when transmiting from my iPad And iPhone, however let me listen music And see the pictures when transmiting from theese devices.

Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
RESPONSES:
1)   When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC. I simply used the same iTunes login and account. I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store. If I click "Download Previous Purchases" text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
2)   I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered. I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam. Good response for you. Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome. I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
QUESTIONS:
3)   So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download? Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU...
I work in the computer support section for the Military. The only problem is we use Windows , lol. Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover. I go back next month though I hope. But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein. Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself.

Picture and audio not matching in Photo Booth

Hi, can anyone tell me why when I record a video using Photo Booth the audio doesn't match up to the picture? I recently recorded a video and when I went back to watch it I noticed that the video starts and then like 30 seconds later the sound starts. I tried to make another one and it was better but still off, the second one was only off by a few seconds. Is there a reason why this is happening and is there a way to fix it? Thanks for your time.

I have the same issue. Seems if the video is short, like 10-20 seconds the sound and video sync. But, if it's longer than that, then the sound is off and gets worse the longer the video. This is imbarrising since I have no other means and need to send a video to my professor.

24L4200U LED TV - Picture and Audio Settings?

Hi,
I just purchased a Toshiba 24L4200U LED TV. I wanted to know if someone could share their Picture/Audio Settings?
Thank You!

How long are the clips that are out of sync? In my experience there is a bug that appears from time to time that throws DVCPRO 50 footage out of sync if you capture it in chunks longer than 10 minutes. The only solution I have found is to go back in a break up the capture so that clips are no longer than 10 minutes a piece. Look in the browser under the audio column and instead of seeing 48khz you will probably see something like 47.982345 khz or similar. If that's the case then you have to re-digitize. Make sure you are using log and capture instead of capture now, and try not to run any other programs on the mac while you capture.

Timing goes out and audio cuts off at end of published slide sequence

Hi
I am experiencing a problem with timing and the sound cutting off at the end of a slide sequence.
Here is my work flow:
I record what I want my slide show to say, add my music and sound effects in Soundbooth. I then create a mp3 file for my slide show.
I adjust my slide show timing to match my voice over, ensuring that the total number of minutes and seconds the slide show equates to matches the length of my audio. I then import my audio into my project while maintaining the slide timing.
If I preview the individual slides to match the timing of the arrival of words or pointers in my presentation by pressing the play button in Captivate, everything is great.... until I publish to a .swf file.
On a 2m:50sec slide show of 22 slides it cuts off approximately 5 seconds before the end. My timing which I have bent my brain on getting right, is out and appears to worsen the longer the slide show is or if it is not on the latest and greatest Mac powered computer.
I have gone so far as to increase the length of time on the last slide 5 seconds beyond the length of time that the audio occupies as well as adding another 5 seccond blank slide and still have the same cut off problem. No ideas how to help the poor souls who might not have an amazing computer to watch the demonstration on?
Interestingly if I publish and look only at the last 3 slides or if I look at a short sequence of slides or at a slide in isolation, my audio is there as it should be along with the timing. It would appear that the time "lost" or a lag between the presentation and the audio is the culprit.
Kindly advise if there is a solution to this or whether the problem lies with something I am doing.
Thank you in advance

Has there been any new developments on this problem?
I've been having to do some crazy work arounds to avoid audio cutting off at the end of slides when using CP5 for development.
Then this week I had to review an old training which was published a long time ago only to discover that the same issue of audio cutting off is happening there.
These materials were developed using CP4 and some even with CP3. This means that the problem/change is not CP5 but probably something to do with the Flash player version because at the time of publshing the older files did not have this issue.
This has me really worried. There is no way I can go back and update all the old files and it means that previously perfect materials are now being viewed with audio cutting off.
Have the Adobe Captivate developers considered the possiblity that this may be a flash player issue? Have you discussed this with the Adobe Flash developers? Will there be a fix for this anytime soon?
Thanks,
Aimee

Picture and audio out of sync on DVCPRO50 clips

I digitized some 29.97 fps/16-bit audio DVCPRO50 footage in FCP6 at DVCPRO50 setting. The captured quicktime clip plays back fine in the quicktime player, but when I drop the clip into a DVCPRO50 project timeline, the video plays back faster than the audio. The longer the clip plays, the more the sync discrepency. I digitized several clips, and I noticed that the data rate is different for each clip, varying between 6.0 and 6.2 MB/sec. One clip with a data rate of 7.0 MB/sec plays back fine, same settings, same everything. What made this clip different, and why does it work when the others, all the same except the data rate, don't? More importantly, is there some way to change it so it does work without having to re-capture my footage?

How long are the clips that are out of sync? In my experience there is a bug that appears from time to time that throws DVCPRO 50 footage out of sync if you capture it in chunks longer than 10 minutes. The only solution I have found is to go back in a break up the capture so that clips are no longer than 10 minutes a piece.

Capturing Video (and audio) in iMovie 09?

Hello-
I need to import some video and audio form some beta tapes and am wondering if this can be done in iMovie 09? Some of the tapes are hour long documentaries that i have scored and I have read on this forum that people have run into problems when trying to capture more than 5 minutes of footage. I have also read that there have been issues capturing the audio.
Would I have more success capturing in FCE? Picture and audio quality is paramount for me.
Thanks!!

You can import into iMovie '09, but you need some kind of analog-digital video converter.
Apple sells this one: http://store.apple.com/us/product/TJ555LL/A
but there are many other devices available. Some with less features are substantially cheaper.
My old Firewire connected camcorders can do this conversion, but not all can, so take a look at your camcorder's manual if you do not already know.
iMovie can take the Firewire output of your converter and capture the import directly to your disk.
The video output quality of VCR tapes will not be as high as digital sources, but, in my experience, you will certainly lose some video quality with iMovie '09. I suggest you test a short segment captured or imported into iMovie '09. If you see video too much degradation, test with FCE. FCE will retain all the quality that your VCR tapes can offer.

I have put them manually in I-Tunes but it does not work. I also resetted my I-Pod a few times and uploaded the new software. It all does not work.
Can anybody help???

in your info it says that you are running windows 98.... i do not think it is possible to use nano 3rd generation using win 98... well at least that what the apple website states... http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html

Hi eb
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Could be a bad Dynex adapter, return that one for another and/or cough up the extra $3 for Apples.
I'm now using a Mini-DVD to to DVI and a 21.5 LG monitor, but my Apple Mini-DVI to Video adapter and my 27" Sharp served me well for a couple of years.
See the Tip in > http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23844?
+Tip: To make sure that your iMac automatically detects the external display or projector, be sure you plug the adapter into the external display or projector before you plug it into the iMac.+

Pictures disappeared, titles and audio still play

Hello Forum,
I made a slideshow in iMovie 09 of pictures from my vacation and specially fitted songs and titles into it. When I had finished, I clicked on the Optimize Video (Large) choice in the File menu, thinking it would make my video better. When the optimization had finished, I tried to play the movie, but now instead of seeing the pictures, audio, and text put together, all I see is a black screen along with text and audio, and there is no option to undo optimization. This problem persists even in both full screen mode and after the project had been prepared to be exported into iDVD. The strange thing is that all of the pictures are still present in the project pane, but when I try to play the movie it just won't show them. I don't want to have to restart because I've put so much work into this. Could somebody help me solve this problem?
Thanks,
plato428

I called it "making a montage of my favorite movie clips." It is what it is. Just how I said it. I do stand up impressions part time and sometimes, believe it or not i get recorded, or I record myself and "make a montage of all my favorite movie clips" or scenes from a movie or anything for that matter. So as illegal as that is I apologize that you want to monitor that stuff.
So lets step out of our assumptive sheriff shoes and stop hazardly guessing at anything that you would disprove of. Everyone else has been very helpful. Besides, all these questions centralize around a basketball highlight video I am making for a coach, that I myself recorded and own the copyright to, to be specific and hopefully clarify your hunch.
As a video editor you also often receive footage with numerous formats depending on who you're working with. Not everything is an illegal transaction that you assume it to be. Thanks

Combined pictures and a video quickly for a presentation

I have an immediate need to combine pictures and video together.
It is for a fallen solider’s memorial tomorrow at a church that has a video/audio system.
I do not know what type of system but once I get it done I can put it on a DVD or CD or flash drive.
There are 49 pictures which should run for about 6-10 seconds and a video of the Burial at the national cemetery.
I have iDVD and iMovie and am willing to buy or download a program.
I have a friend that may have other programs on a PC.
This needs to be quickly done.
Help is really needed
Thanks
Greg

As you are obviously in a hurry, the last option in the following may be your quickest bet:
There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

(To Replace http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=406147 if Accepted. )
How do I get Video and Audio Chats with PCs ? iChat FAQ 3 (Updated 7/12/2008)
Applies to iChat 2.x, iChat 3.x and iChat 4.x to any version of AIM on a PC before AIM 6.1
This piece is designed for those trying to connect Mac to PC for Video and Audio chats. Any iChat version Panther and up.
Glossary For This FAQ
This bit is designed for clarity.
Video is the sending and /or recieving of pictures and sound.
Audio is the sending and or receiving of sound only.
One-Way is the ablity to start either an Audio or Video chat from one end to a receipient who can not match your capabilities (or Vice Versa)
What is needed
At the Mac end
A Mac running OS 10.3.x and iChat AV ver 2.1 or 10.4 plus iChat 3 or Leopard and iChat 4
A DSL/Cable/Fibre (Broadband) connection of at least an up link speed of 256kbs.
An AIM , @mac.com or MobileMe (@me.com) account name.
(hosting Multiple person Mac to Mac AV chats requires higher specs and broadband uplink speed).
At the PC end
1 PC running windows XP (home or Pro). THIS A MUST
The AIM Standalone Application, currently at ver. 5.9 at this link. AIM (the Site) now call this version Classic and it cannot be Installed On Vista
Note: there is also Trillian which has a Pro version for $25 that can also Video and Audio chat. The Basic version just Texts and Audio Chats (AIM does not Audio chat)
Some need the aimrtc12.exe file from Here Mostly Earlier than XP or Pre Service Pack 2 XP versions of Windows
Note: It has been noted that this file is now apparently included in Windows XP after Service Pack 2 and above.
An AIM account/screen name (AOL or Netscape count as well)
Service Pack 2 info. This info will allow the PC user to enable AIM thorough the XP Firewall. The Windows Firewall did not exist as such before this
Between both of you.
At least one camera (Mac end)
A sound input device (the camera, if it has one is ok)
Your Buddies screen/account name in each others Buddy Lists
Other tweaks
For some people, using AIM on a PC, may also have to make sure their preferences (properties) are set in the AIM Buddy list, for their camera and /or Mic. (Tuning at Message 570)
This is an icon button lower right on the Buddy List marked "Prefs" (AIM 5.5). This leads to the Preferences. Drop down the list until you read Live Video. Click on this. In the new window that opens click the button that says Tuning Video and Audio. Follow the instructions in the wizard that opens up. Access in AIM 5.9 for this is in the My AIM menu at the top of the Buddy list and then Options
To Start
You should now be able to chat to each other.
If each of you has a camera it can be full Video , as described in the Glossary at the top.
To start from the Mac end, select (highlight) your Buddy with one click. His camera icon should be dark. Click on the icon near his name or the one at the bottom of the Buddy List. (You do not have to start a text chat).
To start from the PC end you need to start a text chat, then select the Video icon at the bottom of the chat window.
If one of you has a camera and the other has a Mic then you will be able to chat One Way but have sound will be both ways.
To start this type of chat from the Mac end you will have to go to the menu item "Buddies" and drop down to the item "Invite to One Way Video Chat"
To start this from a PC follow the directions in the pargraph above. You may need to change the tab to the incoming Video at the back of the two to see the Video. These tabs are added when the Video chat starts and the front one normally states you do not have a camera and shows a connection to buy one.
It is also possible to chat One Way if the other person does not have a Mic: replies will have to be typed in a Text chat.
No Camera and No Mic will cause iChat to End the chat with "No Data Received for 10 Secs"
Summary
For any sort of sound to a PC using AIM, (Talk in PC or Audio in iChat) the Mac will need a camera. The other person can have a Mic and then live chats with sound both ways and Pictures (Video) the other.
NOTE: At This Time It Is NOT Possible to Audio (sound only) between Mac & PC with AIM & iChat
Trillian Basic can Audio. Trillian Pro can Video and has a bigger picture and can do Full Screen.
Another explanation of the set up can be found Here about AIM 5.5 but is transferable.
And Also here
My Web Pages particularly all of Page 12: What if your Girlfriend Lives a Long Way Away ? have more information.
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.
