Aperture 3 - Slideshows export HD no sound?

Hi everybody,
First of all, sorry for my English, I am French.
I am considering buying Aperture 3 and have downloaded the trial version. I tried to make a slideshow (250 pics), and added 2 songs from my Itunes library in the slideshow.
The HD export gives a good result but, there is no sound! Is it "normal"? Should I customize the export parameters or choose something else?
Maybe you will tell me to do otherwise, but I want to export a movie from Aperture because :
- I like the settings of Aperture slideshows and I want to keep them in the final movie
- I want to burn the slide show on a DVD because I want to give it to some people
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards

Weel, I have investigated further and it seems that there is only one song out of the 2 songs which is not read. Both are AAC files bought on Itunes and have the same characteristics. Do you have an idea which song 1 is not working? I have a screen capture of both songs information but I do not know how to attach them to my post.
Thanks

Problem with Aperture slideshow export - Some photos don't display!

I have just completed my latest wedding slideshow. It plays as normal in Aperture, but when exported, certain photos don't show... just a black screen. The timings are unaffected. Aperture 3.6, Yosemite 10.10.1
The affected photos seem to be the ones that I am displaying for longer durations. I'm using Ken Burn's theme and if I turn off the Ken Burn's effect on the affected photo it gets exported ok.
Having spent many hours working on this slideshow I'm "slightly" annoyed! This is obviously a bug introduced in Aperture 3.6 or Quicktime on Yosemite, I just hope it can be fixed ASAP. Unfortunately, I guess Aperture is low on the priority list... I have moved the LR, but still rely on Aperture for slideshows!
HELP!

Luckily I still had a bootable pre-Yosemite backup of my iMac and have been able to successfully export the slideshow. Hopefully, Apple will fix the problem before next wedding season!

Using Aperture 3 slideshows on iWeb 09

Hi - I am trying to use aperture 3 slideshows on iweb instead of flash but the quality is lacking - the sharm movie files are over 30mb so when compressed to around 10mb loses image quality
see here : http://web.me.com/ruperteden/casasnaareia (click on image)
the movies are slow to load on Firefox and do not load at all using Google Chrome ?
Does anybody have a solution to increase image quality keeping files small enough ?
Steve Jobs if you are reading this please can you come up with a solution quickly or I will have to revert back to Adobe Flash which like you I hate using !
Thanks in advance !

OK but the problem I am having is maintaining crisp image quality while compressing QT files of over 30mb generated by Aperture slideshow export ?
also the movies only really play on Safari - other browsers are clumsy and slow ?
Can anyone suggest an alternative ?

Slideshow export - video options grayed out

The slideshow export video options are grayed out. When the slideshow is exported it is sound only, no video.

Remove fade in/out from iPhoto slideshow export?

I'm bringing in some pictures from iPhoto and I've had bad luck with photo resolution when I used iMovie to import the picture and apply Ken Burns effects, etc. I've seen some suggestions here to use an iPhoto slideshow export instead.
I have my settings for 1 second slides, no transition and a ken burns effect. I'd like to make an export for each picture, but iPhoto insists on opening the slideshow with a fade in and closing with a fade out. Is there any way to prevent this? I'd like to add the transitions in iMovie instead.
(I realize that the iMovie forum might be a better place for this so forgive the crosspost)

Thanks, I think I'll skip the Ken Burns for now since I've had nothing but problems with it. My issues before were that 1) iMovie would play the images in sequence just fine during playback but at export would mix up the order. 2) The resolution on the pictures was absolutely terrible. I have a new movie now and haven't seen either problem.

Missing metadata after slideshow export

I love to show some metadata - like a description - within exportet JPGs. That way they are visible on any device used to present the pictures. As far as I found out this is only possible by doing a slideshow export (watermarks unfortunately can not pull information out of the metadata fields). But all the exported JPGs are missing all metadata, so I can not even sort them automatically later in other software solutions.
Any idea how I could both show the description field within/under the picture and do not loose all metadata information within the exported files?

Sorry, I misunderstood.
Looks like you cannot have both metadata in EXIF and metadata as text overlays on the image, without using a third-party plugin.

Slideshow Exports are not sharp but fuzzy

Trying Slideshow in A3. Chose Export. Tried the Mobileme/Youtube setting. Uploaded to Youtube - the whole show, the images are like a low quality blurry. It looks the same if I open in iTuns or Quicktime.
SO I tried HD 720. Only slightly better, but bad.
The images are all high quality. Nikon RAW - all processed and when uploaded again via A3 - look prefect on MM.
SO I have tried each setting for SLideshow Export. Each totally unacceptable quality. WHat am I missing. I did put some original music behind it too.

If by MM you mean MobileMe, remember that the displayed resolution of the web.jpg image version used for MobileMe galleries and slideshows is never any better than 1024x1024, regardless of what Actual size you uploaded (or specified as Download size) or the size of your browser window or monitor.
So don't go crazy uploading hi-res versions if you're only going to be displaying them on-line.

Nope -just exported to the desktop to view. Nothing I do, or resolution has always been blurry, fuzzy.

Aperture Photo JPEG Export Size

I have a question regarding the file sizes of photos exported from Aperture. When exported the photos seem to be almost double the file size of the original photo imported to aperture and the size shown in Aperture. For example, I have a photo that is 2736x3648 sized at 3.51MB in Aperture. I export with JPEG set to original size, JPEG quality is set to 12. The resulting file size exported is 7.1MB. The resolution of the exported photo is also 2736x3648 so I don't think it's a DPI issue. I've done some experimentation with the JPEG quality and the results are still strange. 10 gives me a 2.2MB file, 11 gives me a 2.6MB file and 12 as mentioned previously is 7.1MB. Seems like a huge jump so I suspect I'm missing something. The other sizes being smaller than the original also seems strange.
I've looked at the exported photos at 10,11&12 and can clearly see the detail lost. The darker parts get darker and drop the detail in the photo. I'm very reluctant to lose quality so ideally would go with 12.
I know there are a few questions like this on here already but none of them seem to have a good answer. Just wondering if anyone has figured it out?
Thanks in advance.

Terence, you've helped me on a lot of things, so I guess I am going to further ask for clarification....
I have recently been trying to use Aperture solely (and pretty much abandon iPhoto.). But, when I say export a file to jpeg (whether it is currently a RAW or JPEG file, I am concerned about my settings-- by default, the setting "export jpeg in original size" has settings as 72 dpi. I have changed that to 300dpi. Is this why I have 15-20MB files? Is this the correct setting? I don't want any printer to have a false representation of how much data is there. Nor do I want to lose any data either.
I could theoretically take any photo and probably even say 4500dpi, and the file would be exaggerated that much more. I go to print, and the print center sees there is plenty of resolution there, but in reality, there is no more data there than the extent to which the file provided. You can't create resolution that is going to improve on what your camera or the minor adjustments you do to it to improve it. I say export it at whatever maximum dpi it has or multiply that dpi by 100, and no matter what, the image is going to print the same no matter how much data (or how large the box is).
Also, if I open my library in iPhoto and tell it to export the photo at original size, the file is smaller than the file exported via Aperture (thus my concern I am providing more detail than what is really there) and providing an exagerrated resolution. Your help is greatly appreciated. I am providing a disk to someone, and this is affecting whether I give them one or two disks due to the file sizes. (And, of course, as is, the file sizes are harder to work with if you want to email. So, if they don't have an email program that auto-condenses, they may be frustrated not having smaller files if they choose to email any.)
Thanks in advance!

Aperture, date and export/save on a HD

Hi all !
I'm starting to get used to Aperture, but i can't do something i'd like to...
I want to shoot in RAW, adjust pictures on Aperture and then export them on my HD as a .jpg (cause it takes less space) to save them. The thing is that when i export them, it changed time and date of the originals (which is logic in a certain way...) but i want to keep an idea of when i took those pictures...
I don't know if i was clear enough but do you have any ideas ??
Thanks !

There are two kinds of metadata involved when you consider jpeg or other image files.
One is the file data. This is what the Finder shows. This tells you nothing about the contents of the file, just the File itself.
The problem with File metadata is that it can easily change as the file is moved from place to place or exported, e-mailed, uploaded etc.
Photographs have also got both Exif and IPTC metadata. The date and time that your camera snapped the Photograph is recorded in the Exif metadata. Regardless if what the file date says, this is the actual time recorded by the camera.
Photo applications like iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Picasa, Photoshop etc get their date and time from the Exif metadata.
When you export from iPhoto to the Finder new file is created containing your Photo (and its Exif). The File date is - quite accurately - reported as the date of Export. However, the Photo Date doesn't change.
The problem is that the Finder doesn't work with Exif.
So, your photo has the correct date, and so does the file, but they are different things. To sort on the Photo date you'll need to use a photo app.

Aperture 3 problem export (or share) photos via outlook

I have Aperture 3.5.1; Outlook for Mac 2011 version 14.3.9
When I try to export (or share) photos via email using Outlook I can see the little wheel on Aperture spin saying "exporting" however it does NOT open a new email window and I cannot find out where the photos have gone. In Aperture preferences I have set Outlook; Tiff 8 and sRGG; 300dpi and medium size.
It used to work however I simply cannot figure out the problem. I can export to desktop and move them that way but extra steps and unnecessary. Any help great appreciated.
Thanks

There are some known problems with Outlook Mac 2011 in Mavericks 10.9.1 - see: http://www.macwindows.com/Mavericks-10_9_1-fix-OS-X-email-snafus-but-Outlook-not -mentioned.html
Since I don't use Outlook as Mail client, I don't know, if the Mavericks Update to Mavericks 10.9.2 fixed this. But it cannot hurt to update, since this update included bug fixes.

Aperture won't export all photos to Mail

Most of the time, Aperture won't export all my chosen photos to Mail. If I chose 8 photos, it may only export 4 of them and no matter what I do, nothing changes. Tried it on Entourage and it was exactly the same. Size is not the issue, I'm sending them in small sizes and the total attachment is about 1 MB. Anyone had this issue and know what to do? I do have NIK plug ins installed if that helps any.

I would suggest you do a library repair to see if that clears it up.

Slideshow Export ends with long black phase

I am exporting a large slideshow from iphoto. The export goes through all the pictures and movies, but after the last one the progress bar is still only halfway completed and from then on shows a black thumbnail picture (or several ongoing) and hardly moves anymore.
Not sure if the export will eventually finish. This did not happen with small slideshow exports that I tested with 4-20 pictures.
Anybody had the same problem? Any suggestions where this is coming from and how to avoid it?

Thanks, I will try that but I've had some bad experiences with imovie, the pictures don't seem to render right and you cant see the expressions on peoples faces.
I can't be the only person who has tried to sync music and pics in iphoto, and yet there is no one else on the discussions commenting on it. I've even read a tutorial about adding a commentary to your photos in iphotos by working out the timing, so it must be possible. Someone put me out of my misery please!

Slideshow export option plugin?

Does anyone know of a plugin to change the format of Slideshow export from mp4 to DVD format? Currently, I am converting the mp4's through DVD Flick, which works fine. It is just antoher step to do. It would be nice to just export it this way.

iMac computer. Yosemite.

Aperture won't export

since yesterday i encounter the same problem as some described before.
Aperture 'refuses' to export my foto's.
It keeps saying 'exporting' in the bottom of the screen and quitting the program is not posibble, the only solution is to perform a forced stop.
When i open the program afterwards there's a message where the prog advises to repair the library. (which is not the solution to the problem)
any ideas how to fix this irritating bug? my OS is V 10.2.8 & i have the latest version of Aperture 3.4.1 (which appears to be useless now)
thx for the feedback !

my OS is V 10.2.8
You mean Mac OS 10.8.2, right?
Does Aperture hang when exporting any image, or does it only happen for some of your images? Are you trying to export versions or original images?
Sometimes Aperture hangs, when it is processing a single, corrupted image.
If the problem only occurs with certain images, remove them from your library, but if you are having this problem with all images, try the Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics
I'd start with removing Preferences and presets, and then try the other options.

Léonie
