After pulling pictures into slide show -- when hit run ... everything is blank

I created a slide show from organizer.  
All the pictures are there, pan and zoom selected, etc.   Then when I try and preview it - there is nothing on the scree
n it is blank.  the bottom layout shows the movement from one picture to the other but the slide show picture
is not working.   I tried to just take the show to file .. which I did.  when i then tried to run the .wmv file .. same thing ...
everything was blank.

This black for the image on the preview screen seems to happen if you are missing some type of Windows authorization or permissions.
Playback in the Slide Show Editor in the Preview seems to require additional Windows authorization or permissions: a black screen in the Preview area while there is movement of the thumbnail images below during playback is the symptom of the problem.
-- running from a Windows userid which has administrator authority usually (but not always) avoids this problem.
-- if the userid administrator authority is not sufficient in your particular case, then try starting PSE by right clickin on its desktop icon and choosing Run as Administrator (which does have a different effect than administrator authority of the userid).
Note: for future reference
For a question like this is good to post both the version of Photoshop Elements and the version of the Windows operating system.
Because this specific problem can happen with both multiple PSE versions and different Windows versions, I went ahead and posted guidance.

  • Saving a slide show when catalog runs from flash drive

    A little background - I manage two separate classes of students who use the same laptop with PSE8.  Each student has their own flash drive to save a custom catalog for the PSE8. Each time students open PSE8 they load their custom catalog.  All image files are saved onto the flash drive.  We have been using custom catalogs because our computers have Deep Freeze installed. This system has worked well for images.
    When saving a slide show there is no way to specify where the slide show should be saved.  I assumed that the slide show would save to the catalog which is sitting on the flash drive.  Unfortunately, this is not the case.  How can I save a slide show on a external flash drive?  I want students to be able to save and be able to reopen their slideshows.
    thanks,
    Robert

    Robert,
    Right now,I am looking at my current PSE 7 install on Vista. There is a .psess file type which contains slide show project information. I suspect that this might be the file you are seeking.  And I think this file exists with the same purpose in PSE 8.
    For PSE 8, you might find those files under a folder structure of
    ..... \Elements Organizer\Catalogs\name of the specific catalog\projects
    I desginated the dots at the beginning of the folder structure because they could be different depending on what version of Windows is running and potentially even other installation choices specific to that machine.
    Therefore, you might try searching for the .psess slide show project file type.
    Note 1: I am not sure v8 will place the project folder and the .psess files in your case where you have used a custom location for the Catalog that is on a flash drive. Please post back here with the location where you do find the files
    Note 2:  I suspect that if you are teaching syncing to photoshop.com, you might also need to be concerned about the location of the syncdb folder. My guess would be that it is near that project folder. If you do determine the syncdb location, please also post it back here. Thanks.

  • How do you add a new thumbnail to a slide show when using in-browser editing?

    At this moment you can’t add pictures to a slideshow. You only can replace them.

  • Importing video clips into slide shows

    I often insert video clips into slide shows.  They mix nicely with pan and zoom still photos.  However, the type of video clips that can be inserted is very restricted.  Why is this?
    Elements can deal with a wide variety of video formats but, as far as I can see, only AVI and WMV videos can be imported into slide shows.  Compact digital cameras typically use AVI, MOV and MP4 formats.  My camera produces MPG videos, which I cannot import.  I have to convert the clips into AVI format and reimport these into Organiser etc - which is very fiddly. I am considering buying a new camera that produces AVI video clips as standard.
    Why is the choice of video formats so limited? I cannot find a list of allowable formats on the Adobe site.

    Hi David
    Thanks for this. I tried that, but again, Streamclip only imported content from the first clip, ignoring the rest...on further inspection, all the VOB files were sub-divisions of the the first item (in essence, the system had chopped up the first recording into sections and formatted them as VOB files, but failed to do that for the remaining content of the DVD).
    I booked an appt with a Mac Genius today and he downloaded Handbrake and this appears to be the way forward - you can isolate any of the content from the DVD, and save into either avi or mp4 files. I currently don't need Streamclip, since after my selection's been saved unto the desktop it can be dragged into iMovie and edited from there. I'll be keeping Steamclip though...after all of the aggro, it seems to good to be true!
    Thanks again for responding to my query. Really appreciated that you took the time.

    You can't get iphone to sync pics to a mac?  What have you tried?  What didn't work?
    In itunes, did you go to the photo tab for your device and turned on iphoto to perform a sync. 

  • What do I need to do to get my cannon camera to upload pictures into iPad . When I plug it in system comes up connected USB device is not supported?

    What do I need to do to get my cannon camera to upload pictures into iPad . When I plug it in system comes up connected USB device is not supported?

    Use the camera's SD card instead.
    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • How to manually arrange pictures in Slide Show in iPhoto 11

    Is it possible to manually arrange pictures in slide shows?
    The slide show feature in earlier versions of iPhoto had one major flaw: it is fully automated. You can't select how many pictures go on each slide or move pictures from one slide to another. Has this issue been resolved with iPhoto 11?
    Thank you.

    This is by design. iPhoto is template driven and the templates are fixed. This makes it very easy for inexperienced users to make an attractive slideshow fast. If you've out grown those templates then you've outgrown the iPhoto slideshow feature and i's time to look for a more capable app.
    Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
    iMovie, on every Mac sold, as is iDVD.
    Others, in order of price:
    PhotoPresenter $29
    PhotoToMovie $49.95
    PulpMotion $129
    FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
    Final Cut Express $199
    It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs.
    However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

  • Slide show won't run

    I run the latest release of IPhoto 9 (from iLife 2011) on an i5 IMac running the latest update of OS 10.6 Snow Leopard.
    Suddenly, Slide Show will not run from the IPhoto browser.
    When I click the slide show start arrow, the screen dips to black for one second and then returns to where I was in the browser.  No slide show options screen; absolutely no slide show under any circumstances except random screen saver.
    Is there a patch for this bug ?  If not, would deleting and reinstalling any named file(s) solve this annoying software failure?

    It comes to something when I have to answer my own question!  However I have to admit I did have a little help from an earlier question which was thrown up by a search I did! It seems that when a PDF show is emailed and the recipient is asked whether the show should be opened in full screen or not; the answer should be 'yes' in order for the show to start automatically.
    If the recipient answers 'no' the show stays stuck on the first slide. Hope this help anyone else who may have the same problem.

  • Pixelated pictures in slide show

    I am making a slide show.  I have good clear pictures, but when I push play or watch it they become pixelated.

    Eric
    Thank you for the helpful additional information.
    I am still not sure what the pixel dimensions of your photos are, so there is always the quality expectation versus "that is the best DVD-VIDEO format on DVD disc can offer because of the industry standardized format. But, you do mention work from another program which is giving you better results for DVD-VIDEO format on DVD disc.
    So, in the name of trying to get better for your Premiere Elements slideshow destined for DVD-VIDEO Widescreen, then I would suggest the following
    a. Start with photos not to exceed 2200 x 1238 16:9 pixels The project preset is going to be a 1920 x 1080 16:9 @ 29.97 progressive frames. Not to worry. There is a method to this.
    b. Open Premiere Elements project to the Expert workspace. Go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
    (I know that you are working on Mac, but I am not sure if it is set up for NTSC or PAL. For now, I will assume NTSC.)
    Change the project preset to
    NTSC
    DSLR
    1080p
    DSLR 1080p30 @ 29.97
    Before you exit that area, make sure to have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Preset on This Project".
    c. Back in the Premiere Elements Expert workspace, use Add Media/Files and Folders/ Project Assets to import your photos into the project.
    It is normal for you to have an orange line over the Timeline in this case. So, to get the best possible preview of what you are seeing in the Edit area monitor, press the Render button above the Timeline. Do your photos look sharper and better than before you started the suggested workflow?
    d. Typically the disc menus present "poorly" in Disc Menu Preview, so not to worry about that for now.
    e. The moment of truth will come when you look at the end product on your TV player.
    I would suggest
    Publish+Share
    Disc
    DVD
    disc
    with Presets for NTSC_Widescreen_Dolby DVD.
    If you want to talk about taking the same Timeline to AVCHD format on DVD disc, we can do that next.
    Please review and consider and let us know the results. The answers will be in the details. So please include all information for us to help you.
    Thanks.

  • After adding audio to slide show, can we...

    With the help of posts from this forum I got the audio up and running on a couple slide shows. I'd like refine a couple things, so has anybody done any of the following:
    1) Can the pictures in the slide show fade in and fade out for better picture to picture transitions?
    2) Can the play/pause button for the audio be changed? I'd like to add volume and maybe a percent indicator while the audio is loading.
    3) Could the slide show start AFTER the audio is loaded? By the time the audio starts the slide show is usually on the 2nd slide.
    4) Sometimes the audio will not loop. I think this depends on how the slide show window was closed. If the same page is reloaded again, the audio usually doesn't loop. Is there a way to re-initialize the slide show audio to guarantee it will loop each time.
    5) Will the audio work if the end-user doesn't have quicktime on the computer?
    I've been using this section of the website for beta testing -
    http://www.pebbleplace.com/Personal/SanFrancisco001.html

    It can be done, but you are asking for entirely different slideshow
    With the help of posts from this forum I got the
    audio up and running on a couple slide shows. I'd
    like refine a couple things, so has anybody done any
    of the following:
    1) Can the pictures in the slide show fade in and
    fade out for better picture to picture transitions?
    Yes, but you will have to do extra works with javascript. There is a transition variable in slideshow javascript, but there is no control over the slide duration (it's fixed and there is now way to change it). This can cause some strange effects.
    2) Can the play/pause button for the audio be
    changed? I'd like to add volume and maybe a percent
    indicator while the audio is loading.
    Yes, change one of the arguments in QT_WriteOBJECT:
    QTWriteOBJECT('SF_Soundtrack1.mov', '34', '16', '',
    3) Could the slide show start AFTER the audio is
    loaded? By the time the audio starts the slide show
    is usually on the 2nd slide.
    You can put a delay time to call QT_WriteOBJECT function, once again javascripts.
    4) Sometimes the audio will not loop. I think this
    depends on how the slide show window was closed. If
    the same page is reloaded again, the audio usually

    time.

    QT is preloaded in a mac, but not so for pcs; so QT needs to be installed on a pc.

  • Sharp Pictures for Slide Show

    I am trying to use Premiere Elemments to create a slide show from pictures taken with a digital camera. When I import the pictures they are clear and sharp - the same way they appear when I view them individually using other tools. When I put them together is a show they all lose the sharpness. FYI, I have the same results with several other "movie makers."  Am I using the right tools? Is there a fix for this "problem," some where in this 500M program?
    Rich, a.k.a., X-Gino-X

    Thanks, this is helpful.  Now at least, I understand why none of these programs is giving me the results I am looking for. Now, how do I resize my photos to try this out?  FYI, I just tried Power Point and have all the original quality without the added step. Of course Power Point doesn't have all the features I am looking for, but I was able to do most everything I wanted in a very short time.  I am certain that Power Point isn't converting the data to a video format and I won't be able to write the output to a DVD, but I will be able to show Slide Shows using my computer to drive my HD TV.
    Thanks again,
    Rich

  • I cannot get photo selections to load into slide show

    I cannot get my downloaded photos to load into a slide show.  Any suggestions?

    Unfortunately Target has not yet been updated to include Passbook integration.  Once they do (and the App is linked to Passbook) I imagine that is when you will see the Loyalty cards show up or any coupons etc appearing in there.
    The full list of Apps that work with Passbook are:
    As of Wednesday afternoon, the full list of highlighted Passbook applications on the App Store includes:
    Fandango Movies — Times & Tickets
    Live Nation
    Lufthansa
    MLB.com At Bat
    Sephora to Go
    Ticketmaster
    Walgreens
    That means only these 7 apps currently are working with Passbook integration.  Within the Live Nation App, in the settings or account, there should be an option to link with Passbook.  If you don't see it, either you haven't updated it yet, or you have no tickets purchased for upcoming events that would show up in there.

  • Photoshop Elements 6 - PDF slide show won't run when email is opened
