Adding images to a slide show

I'm sure this has been asked a bazillion times here but I'm
so new to Flash (we're talking a couple of days) that I wouldn't
know what to search on much less what question(s) to ask. That
having been said I'm tasked with adding images to an existing Flash
site that has 4 slide shows (it's for a photographer). I have all
of the .fla files and I can successfully change an image but when
it plays it's taller than the other existing images (even though
they are the same height in pixels) and I'm sure fixing that is
just a couple of clicks.
He said with false self-confidence...
I have other, more specific, questions but it's better to ask
them in
this
image to be more clear about what I'm referring to (without
knowing the correct terminology).
I know Photoshop, ImageReady, Illustrator and GoLive (so I'm
no knucklehead) but Flash is a whole new ball game so I apologize
for my ignorance. Once I get up to speed with Flash I won't be
asking dumb stuff like this.
As a sidebar question what's the best way to get up to speed
with Flash? Is Lynda.com any good?
TIA

I had to restart and opened the file. It asked me if I wanted to try to recover the operations in process before. I said yes. Then it gave me this error which was similar to one of the first two errors I got but did not write down.

Roll over images in a slide show

I am trying to make a slide show of before and after images for a client.
Rather than just have them all one after the other, I want all the after images to display as normal, and the before to display on hover for each slide.
I can make this work in a basic slide show when rather than adding an image to the Hero Image box, I use the fill and states.
However this only allows me to do one, as I can't add any more empty Hero Image boxes (or I don't know how to do that, is it possible?)
When I add an image via the slide show menu it appears on top of any fills, and I can't seem to give images added this way a roll over state.
Can anyone tell me how to either add extra blank Hero Image boxes, or how to apply the effect I want to the images in the Hero Image boxes.
Thanks in advance, if there is any further info I can provide about my problem, please let me know!

Hi,
You cannot add multiple hero image boxes within the same Slideshow. Now , you can use different slideshows for your different images but that wont give you the slideshow effect but you will be able to see all your after images at once and then if you rollover them you would be able to see the before images.
Now, In order to create the effect that you want, what I would suggest you is to use a 'Composition widget'. In the composition widget, you can make the triggers as small thumbnails for your images and in the Target you can set the fill as your after image and in rollover state you can use the before image. After this you can use the Autoplay feature available in the composition widget and you will get the desired result.
Hope this helps

How can I exchange all the images in a slide show with new ones

I have 18 slide shows each is a different competition for our camera club. How can I exchange all the images from each slide show with new images as our club competitions commence? I am reluctant to just delete the slide show because I will have set it all back up. I want to leave the size shape and format of the show as is, but just exchange all of the current images with new ones. I am hoping there is a quick way to delete and replace all images for each show? Each slide show has around 40 images and I have 18 shows
thank you for your help

1. Activate "thumbnails" in the configuration panel
2. Select one Thumbnail.
3. Rightclick and choose "Select same"
4. Press "backspace"
5. Open the configuration panel and load the new images.

Is there a limit to the number of images in a slide show?

I am making a slide show for an event and would like to use lots of pictures, is there a limit in the number of images in a folder? the number of images in a slide show?

is there a limit in the number of images in a folder? the number of images in a slide show?
None that I know off. But why are you asking? Did you notice any performance problems or problems to render the slideshow? Then it would help to know more about your hardware RAM, disk, CPU ..
If you already encountered problems, you may wish to have a look at this thread - although it relates to Aperture 3, not 2:
Is there a limit on the number of photos you can use in an Aperture slideshow?
And as I said in that thread:
I'd expect the limiting factor to the length of a slide show to be the patience and "Good Will" of your intended audience

Rating images while in slide show mode?

Is it possible to rate images while in slide show mode? I didn't see a reference to it in the manual. If not this would be a very handy feature (you can do this in LR)

I have used full screen and other layouts to do ratings. I was running through my 1st major project and fine tune - wanted to filter out some images by lower ratings. Actually I would like to pause a slide show and do whatever to images, then continue, and have the music continue as well - without starting over. As aperture is mostly flexible in regard to adjusting image settings whenever (as compared to LR, which seems more modal), it seems like slide slow is more limited then it could be. Its sometime nicer to sit back rather than working the keyboard constantly. And i'm not thrilled about using a 3 key combo to explicitly set ratings. that's a 2 handed operation for something, so I mostly end up using the -/= keys.

Image quality of slide shows using Aperture 3 seems inferior to iPhoto '08

I haven't previously used Aperture. I've been using a copy of iPhoto '08 for several years. I've shot everything in RAW for the last several years and process it in
DXO on my Mac Pro (3 1/2 years old with 7 gigs of RAM). I then load the jpegs into iPhoto '08.
I downloaded Aperture 3 yesterday, and it certainly is impressive in what it can do for improving existing jpegs. I think I could do most touch-ups with Aperture
instead of Photoshop 3. Because of some glitch, I couldn't load or link to my 37,000 images from iPhoto but I did export about 4000 images as full jpegs into
a separate file and then imported these images into Aperture. Touch-ups are an order of magnitude better that trying to use iPhoto to do the same.
I'm an amateur and aside from a fair amount of print making and a few thousand images uploaded to a new Picasa account
http://picasaweb.google.com/jamesn88888
I enjoy a lot of my images via slide shows on my 23" Apple monitor, usually sequenced at 3 seconds per slide.
Comparing slide shows of identical jpegs run with iPhoto '08 and then with the files uploaded to Aperture 3 there is a very subtle loss of definition with Aperture. It's not so
obvious when viewing relatively large detail but is is very noticeable when running slides containing small detail. When both of these programs are just used to display static images full screen I note no difference in readability. Someone suggested that I check the preferences for preview displays. Sure enough, it was set for relatively low quality. I decided to re-do all 4000 images maximum preview display quality.
Using the import settings that came already selected on the trial software, the total size of my
Aperture 3 trial library was a little over 25 GB. The quality of the slide shows did not approximate
the quality of the slide shows of the identical jpegs included in my iPhoto '08 library.
I therefore re-processed all of the previews to the "don't limit" in the photo preferences. The total size of my Aperture 3 trial library grew from 25GB to 41.37GB, an increase of 17 GB. With 3926 jpegs in the library that means the average additional size added to each preview image was 4.33 Megabytes. Inasmuch as the original jpeg images that I imported into Aperture 3 were more in the neighborhood of 1.7 to 3.5 Megabytes each (I have DXO output most jpegs @ 90% quality- fine for my purposes), this is an extreme measure to take in order to be able to use Aperture 3 the same way that I used iPhoto '08. In comparing slide shows between the two applications I still get the feeling that there is a very slight loss in acutance when viewing the slide shows. iPhoto still wins out.
I think that I'm better off staying with iPhoto and continuing to do the RAW processing with DXO and slight file modifications with iPhoto. More elaborate changes can continue to be done using Photoshop 3 and Viveza. It's a shame, because I really like the image processing abilities that are contained in the new Aperture.
Have any of you compared slide show views on your computer between Aperture and iPhoto?
Is there any workaround for best slide show viewing- importing or referencing my existing iPhoto library of 37,000 images does not work for me. My copy of iPhoto 7.1.5 get the message that Aperture cannot import or link to iPhoto earlier than 7.1.5 (?)

I think I've solved my problem with a Google Search. I came across a free slide show generator
(contributions requested) that shows much higher quality slide shows than either iPhoto or Aperture 3.
You click on a folder of jpegs and it almost immediately generates thumbnails and within a few seconds
I can be viewing a full screen, tack sharp, slideshow of all of the files in the folder. Much sharper than
I'm used to seeing.
I think I'll keep the Aperture 3 and use if for the purpose it's intended for in the future. I'll also redo the
image preview files to the small size it started with and then I'll copy all of the files I'm interested in from
iPhoto into a separate folder on another disk. I'll use Aperture to catalog and to perform image manipulations
on but I won't try to use it as an iPhoto replacement. I don't think I'll be using iPhoto much as an image
viewer in the future either after I finish moving my favorite pictures to the Phoenix Slides folder.
The name of the free program is Phoenix Slides. It's free to download and try, free to keep (though I
think you'd want to pay the small amount requested) and fast. My pictures have never looked so good
before.

PSE12 problem adding audio media to slide show

I have followed the instructions but can't get the music to show up in the audio elements organizer..

Hi James:
Welcome to discussions.
You can get the songs you rip from your CD to export into iTunes by the following:
1. iTunes - Pref - Advanced - Import. Change import using to MP3.
Now all new songs you rip from CD will export with iPhoto
To correct those songs already in iTunes so they will export, do the following:
1. highlight song in iTunes Library
2. Toolbar go to Advanced - Click Convert Selection to MP3
3.Now you will have a duplicate of that song in your library. The one just added that you converted, add MP3 to title
4.Use MP3 song in your slide show.
5. Audio should export with photos.
Post back and let me know if this works for you. It does for me. You cannot change songs imported from iTunes this way; it will only work on songs from your CD. We will have to wait for updates for a permanent fix.
Good luck-

Problem with adding music to a slide show

I am trying to add add'l music to a slide show in Elements 9. The first songs added easily. I am now getting a message that the "codec" is insufficient. There does not seem to be any difference in the properties of the songs that are being rejected and the songs that loaded. How do I correct this to add the MP3 songs?

Thanks for your response. In answer to your questions:
1. What is PRE?
2. mpeg is not a choice on my version of pse7. Only mp3, wav, wma and ac3.

Adding videos to a slide show

I have added a video to my slide show in Elements 7 and when I try to preview the show, Photoshop completely closes. What is going on?

I plan on using a DVD player to view the show. I have tried Movie Maker but I could not figure out how to get the show off of my computer since a DV camera is required and I do not have one. The DVD software that came with my PC is Cyberlink PowerDVD. I cannot use this because I do not have a DVD burner.
Thank you.
You say that you do not have a DVD burner on your PC - so please explain in some detail how you plan to use the DVD player for your TV. For example, does your DVD player for the TV have a slot where you can insert a USB device? What is the make and model of the DVD player machine? Or did you mean that you will use DVD player software with your computer connected to your TV?
Movie Maker - you don't need a DV camera : you can output a WMV file from Movie Maker just as you can from the Photoshop Elements Slide Show Editor. The dilemma seems to be that neither of these programs will produce a video DVD conforming output.
Here are some ideas that I was developing - however, we do need to understand what type of output you have the capability to play in order to determine what will help for your specific situation:
I was thinking that an approach might be to make each section of slide show in PSE Slide Show Editor and separately output each as a separate WMV file. Then use Windows Movie Maker and layout sections of the slide show with your video files in between the slide show sections as you wish. Then you could output a single wmv file from Windows Movie Maker. Another alternative would be to do everything in Windows Movie Maker and not use the PSE slide show editor at all.

Trouble adding iTunes songs to slide show displays

When displaying a group of photos in a slide show (view photos in full screen), I am unable to use my iTunes songs. I know how to "browse" and add the sample music from my music files (and that works fine), but it won't work w/my iTunes songs. I click on the iTunes file and it shows me the artists. I can then click on the folder and choose one of the songs. However, when I try to "Select" or "Open" the song, the title of the song disappears and it reads "No items match your search".
I am able to open and listen to my iTunes songs when I am not in PSE. I have PSE 7, and am new to PSE.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My guess is that your songs in iTunes are not in a file format that PSE can use - what format are they? And they might also have DRM (digital rights) restrictions.
I suggest that you try using iTunes to burn an mp3 file of one of the songs that you wish to use and then try that mp3 file in the PSE slide show.

Adding music to my slide show

How do I download music (no video) from the internet and save it on my slide show? Thanks in advance.

If you want familiar music you have to purchase files from Amazon or iTunes. If you do a Google search for free production music, or similar, you can probably find some free stuff that you can use. I have played around a little bit with some of those, but I haven't really found much that I like. You can also use music from your own CD collection.

Adding music to a slide show in Lightroom 5

I have created a slideshow with Lightroom 5 that has 807 photos. The duration of the slide show is 1 hour, 33 minutes. When I try to add music in LR 5, it will allow only one song. How do I add music that will cover the entire slide show?

Lightroom only allows for one music file. If you want a longer file, you'll have to splice together your music files in another application (such as Audition) and use that larger file in Lightroom.

Adding music to a slide show from Itunes

How do i add music to a slide show from itunes? When i go into the Itunes folder I get all the way to where the music file should be and it says there are no files found.

Hi Rodney,
Here's what you do.
When you click on music and the window opens, click on your library then look at the bottom of the window where you will see a small clear dot - click and drag this up and voila - there's the music.
A very annoying feature that iPhoto hides this section by default.

Adding music to a slide show

We have made a large slide show with over 300 photos. We arranged a play list in itunes of six songs. The problem seems that when we chose the playlist, it only plays the last song on the list of six over and over. We would like it to play the list ( all 6 songs) and in the same order placed on the list. Any suggestions.

clc3180:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Your thread got hijacked so I'll try to help you the best that I can. Are any of those tracks from the iTMS? If so then you should be running the latest Quicktime version so that they will be accessable to the other iApps. Give that a try and see it it helps.
As a test create another test slideshow and use just one track, one of those that don't play in your big slideshow. If it doesn't play in the new slideshow then the previous suggestion may be barking up the right tree.
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.
