Aperture slideshow import?

Everyone knows that the Aperture 3 has new feature "slideshow"
and now that I want to add some cool effects using final cut pro but I am having trouble importing the aperture created mov file.
My question is: How do I set the sequence and audio/video output in Final cut pro?
aperture created mov file is HD 1080p, H.264 Codec, Frame rate of 30, width 1728, height 1080 fixed ratio
please help me out
thanks

Hi,
I only have Aperture 1.5 but there is an "export to FCP" option. When I look at the codec choices, H264 isn't available, which is good because FCP doesn't work well with that codec.
I just tried with DVCPROHD 720p25, (I am in PAL land) and it looks pretty good but if you are NTSC you could try with 720p30.
Create and save a new project in FCP and in Aperture, export your pics by selecting export to FCP using the above codec and it will automatically create your sequence in the browser for you. Just drop it in the timeline and you're set to go. (I hope)
Hopefully this will all work in Aperture 3.
Good Luck

Import Aperture slideshow into iPad as SLIDES

I prepared a slideshow using Aperture, individually introducing texts and modifying slide layout. 550 slides, this was a lot of work.
Then I bought an iPad.
From what I found until now, the only solution is Aperture > iPhoto > (movie) > iPad
I don't care for a movie, I want to keep my slideshow, its quality and the ability to browse my own speed.
Using the album I prepared before is not the solution, as I loose the additional information for each slide.
QUESTION 1
CAN I INDIVIDUALLY EXPORT PICTURES AND ADDITIONAL LAYOUT PREPARED FOR AN APERTURE SLIDESHOW AS JPEG FILES ?
I moved to Photoshop to redo the editing job, then import into Aperture.
Too bad, the order of pictures is lost when exporting to iPad.
And I did not find any solution for modifying orders of pictures on iPad.
iPhoto for iPad says it would do it (drag and drop), but I did not find how yet...
Should I individually drag pictures into an Album on iPad ?
QUESTION 2
HOW TO MODIFY ORDERS OF PICTURES IN AN IPAD ALBUM ?
There should be solutions for both. Hopefully a simple one that I did not find yet.
Can anyone help ?

Hi Constance,
You would first need to export the slideshow from iPhoto as a Quicktime movie.
Then you can view it on your iPad.
Here's how:
iPhoto '11: Export a slideshow
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2428?viewlocale=en_US
iPhoto '11: View photos or slideshows on iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2437?viewlocale=en_US
Hope this information helps ...

Import aperture slideshow to iweb

import aperture slideshow to iweb

You can render an Aperture Slideshow as a video file using the "Export" button in the Aperture slideshow. Then add the exported video to a movie template.
If you only want the photos in iWeb and not Aperture's animations and transitions, select the photos from the Aperture library in iWeb'S Media Broser panel and add them to a "Photos" album page in iWeb. These pages have a slideshow mode.
Aperture can also create Web albums and journals (New > Web Journal, New > Smart Web Page), that let you export HTML files of slideshows. Upload these files to an FTP server.

Aperture slideshow export to Pal

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows of a way I can export aperture slideshows to PAL to import in dvd studio pro for a dvd in the UK?
I have tried converting the videos with ffmgegx but the quality is not great?
Any ways around this would be very helpful, thanks

Aperture only produces a digital file of your slide show PAL refers to the encoding used when making a video disk.
Whether the video disk is encoded PAL or NTSC is determined by the software you are using to create the video disk.

Another Aperture slideshow and iDVD question

When ultimately making a DVD, why do some people export their Aperture slideshow to iMovie and then iDVD, while others export the slideshow to the desktop and then import directly to iDVD (skipping iMovie)? I suppose another question is: is there somewhere an idiot's guide to all the various output and resolution options? I'm reading that if you export at too high a resolution, iDVD will jack that back down and then you get "artifacts." Are there optimal export resolutions for, say, Standard TVs and HDTVs when exporting from Aperture to iDVD? Thank you!!

MarkPek,
To add to what leonieDF has said.
I don't use Aperture for slide shows very often, but I make hundres of DVD's with iDVD and Toast.
All DVD's are standard definition, unless you use aa application like Toast and create a AVCHD Bluray disk. It doesn't mater what type of TV you play it on, it's SD. Some TV's do a good job of upscaling and the SD looks very good on them.
If you were to send a folder of full resolution 20 MP ( or whatever your camera is) images to iDVD there may be problems. I don't think iDVD is a very good at rescaling images. Sending 1920 x 1080 images or movies to iDVD has worked very well for me. I expect 720p would do well also.
I would recomend you do a test of a slide show of 1 min or less and trry a few different settings. I would try to export with a preset of Apple TV,iPad for a starter. Note that using Apple TV iPad 720p will give you a frame rate of 24, where as the other Apple TV is 30 fps. I have never tried feeding iDVD a movie that was 24fps, I not sure how that would go. I may give that a try and see what happens.
I use FCPX not iMovie, but I think that iMove works the same way. In the moive editing software you can just drag your Aperture stills into the timeline from the photo browser to creat your slide show/movie. But realize that the movie editing sofatware will actually use your Aperture previews for this. So your preview preference will determine the resolution of the images going into your movie. If your previews are set real low the results may not be very good. A setting that is closer to your monitor resoulton would work very well.
Do a test and let us know hoiw you make out. If I get a chance tomorrow I'll drop a quick slide show into iDVD. I'll export the same slide show with a few differnt settings and then put them all on one DVD to play back.

Kern effect in a Aperture Slideshow...

(by kern effect I mean, the movement of the photo, pan or zoom then transfer with disolve, just like any mac screen saver) A must for a woow slideshow.
I can't do this in aperture. To apply the kern effect to my slideshows,
I have to export my images from aperture, import them into Iphoto and do the slideshow in Iphoto, Idvd does not have this feauture (that I know of)/
And the slideshows in aperture can not be share to Idvd, to do a dvd with the aperture slideshows, (4 slow, or 4 fast etc.)
Iphoto can create a slideshow with kern effect and then share it with idvd. I was expecting this from aperture 1.5
Any Idea?
Thanks

If you are using previews and in Aperture's preferences you are sharing this previews with iLife, you'll be able to do a slideshow with Ken Burns effects in iMovie, adding titles, music and comments and send it to iDVD.
There is not need to export, in any iLife app you'll find Aperture's library in the media section.

How can I create a slideshow that depicts only a version of a photo rather than the original? Since the original and new versions are saved together, the aperture slideshow often choices the original rather than the desired version to display/

How can I create a slideshow that depicts only a version of a photo rather than the original? Since the original and new versions are saved together, the aperture slideshow often choices the original rather than the desired version to display.

There are two things we use the name "Slideshow" for in Aperture: a Slideshow Album, used for making Slideshows, and the Slideshow that is made. (Imho, it is a design mistake to not call the containers used to create Slideshows, Books, etc., "Albums".)
The Slideshow will use the Album Pick from any Stack. A good way to use Aperture is to promote the Image you want to regularly use (such as, for example, a Version with adjustments) to the top of the Stack. This makes it the Stack Pick, and will be the default Album Pick. If you haven't done that, you can still change the Album Pick for any Stack in a Slideshow Album. Expand your Stack(s), select the Image in each Stack that you want to be the Album Pick (and thus shown in the Slideshow), and "Stacks➞Set Album Pick". (Note the keyboard shortcut; there is also a Toolbar icon for this.) The change is immediate. The Slideshow will always show the Album Pick (or, if there is not one, the Stack Pick) for every Stack in your Slideshow Album.

Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date. The files show up on the hard drive but many are not showing up in Aperture.

Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date. The files show up on the hard drive with import date not created date, but many of these same files are not showing up in Aperture. Sometimes the clips actually show up with the current import but take on the video information from a previously imported file.

It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did.
Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

Aperture does not recognize that there are images to be imported on an SD card. My workaround is to copy the images from the ST card to a folder and then import the images from the folder. Aperture also imports incredibly slowly after the update to 3.4

Check your Import settings in the Import Panel, i.e. all that might exclude the image type you want to import:
If you did not exclude any file types, and still Aperture will not import, remove your ImageCapture preferences fro your user library:
To remove the image capture preferences:
If Aperture is running, quit Aperture, and log off and on again.
Open your user library from the Finder's Go menu: Hit Command Shift G (⌘⇧G) and then type in: ~/Library/Preferences/ then hit return.
In the window that opens remove "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist"
and look into the subfolder "ByHost": if there are files named com.apple.ImageCapture something .plist remove them too.
then try again.
And if that still does not help, remove the Aperture preferences as well:
~/Library/Preferences/aperture.plist
Regards
Léonie
P.S. in MacOS Lion and later the user library ~/Library is hidden by default.
You can reveal it also from the Finder's "Go" menu:
Finder > Go, then hold down the options ⌥ key, until the Library appears in the drop-down menu, select it and open the Library folder. Then go to the "Preferences".

Aperture/iPhoto Importer Not Working

I just downloaded the trial for Lightroom 5 and installed the Aperture/Iphone Importer plug in. I tried to use it to import my iPhoto library with almost 42,000 photos.
I already checked that the iPhoto Library is the correct one and that the destination in the "Copy images/videos to:" is set to Pictures/LightroomMasters folder
The problem is that the import button is always in gray, so I can't click it to start the import!
I am running Lightroom on a Macbook Pro with the latest OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) And Lightroom Version 5.6
Please help, I want to try Lightroom but has not started good.
Thank you.

Haven't tried it on an iPhoto library, but
Try:
-Restarting Lightroom
-Changing some of the options
-Changing the destination
-Make sure you have permissions on the destination

Can I make an aperture slideshow and use it in iweb?

I need to know if I can make an aperture slideshow and use it in iweb (not making it a quicktime movie)? I don't want to use I photo (I know how to make one in Iphoto and put it in Iweb and I dont want to do this). (dont want a .mac gallery either) Please help. thank you!!!

Aperture slide shows are just for review. They can not be output. TBMK
Honestly, you've exhausted most of what iLife can do, and quicktime will probably be your output even if you go to Keynote to make your slide show.
But with Keynote you'll have more control over how the Quicktime is compressed.
Otherwise, you're looking at the expense AND the learning curve of Flash.
Maybe someone else will chime in with a 3rd party solution.

Aperture slideshows to mobileme gallery

I have tried endlessly to export a good quality aperture slideshow to my mobileme gallery but it seems this can only be done as an album of pictures or as a movie through imovie.
Does anyone know another procedure whereby I can upload them as I originally create them with music, theme, transitions, etc?

I create 'high quality previews' in aperture first.
From there I create a 'high quality master file'...
Export from aperture...
Using a 'custom' preset
H.264
24fps
at 1920x1080
I label this file my 'master' for play back on computer & smaller versions for other devises.
From here in QT7:
File-export-'Movie to Quick Time Movie'
Options-     Compression: H.264
                  Quality: High
                   Frame Rate: 24fps
                   Encoding Mode: Multipass
                  Dimensions: 640x840
                   Scale: Letterbox
                   Sound: AAC
Not sure whether to go from ITunes to Mobileme from here or if there is a way to go from iTunes to Mobileme via iMovie
from here...
I've just tried so many ways that I am disappointed with the results every time.
I did create one movie in mobileme with great quality but didn't write down how I did it and now I can't repeat it...
I am also very disappointed with not being able to produce good quality movies on a DVD...
Any advice on this matter is greatly appreciated...I realize my I.T. understanding is somewhat limited but I do know what it is I want to produce in the end after having taken great images...

Show captions in Aperture Slideshow

I am creating a movie consisting of a few Aperture slideshow segments, and other clips. I want to show captions on some of the slides of Aperture; how do I do that? I see how to add them into the metadata, but what is it that makes them viewable as the slide shows?

It will depend on the slideshow theme, if you can show the captions as an overlay. If it is available, you can enable "Text" in the "Selected Slide" setting for individual slides or "default Settings" for all slides. For example in the "Classic Theme":
The same will work for the Ken Burns Theme, but not for the other more elaborate themes.

Slideshow imported through PSE7 (rt click for edit in PREL7)

Slideshow imported through PSE7 to breakapart in PREL7, will not stay rendered when saved in PREL7.
Paul LS suggested I try this way. Do I have to wait till I am ready to burn before saving?

Your question is a bit too truncated to understand completely, mazza.
You created a slideshow in Photoshop Elements and brought it into Premiere Elements, right?
What do you mean it will not stay rendered? When you press the Enter key, the slideshow will render. But, of course, if you change the slideshow, you will need to re-render it.

How to import camera raw-files as DNG-files using AppleScript action in the Aperture's Import menu - does such a script exist?

I'm looking for a smart way to set up an Aperture 3 workflow - where my propriatary camera raw files get converted into DNG-files when I import my files into Aperture. Aperture's Import menu allows for an Apple-Script to come into action as part of the Import settings. I was thinking if it would be possible for an AppleScript, as part of the import routine, to automatically send the files through the DNG converter app and back into Aperture? So that when the files were finally imported into Aperture they would be DNG-files?
Greatful for any answers and ideas!

Thanks for a swift reply Frank! I will have to use the Adobe DNG converter then, prior to importing into Aperture.
Yes, OSX does support my Nikon D600 NEF-files. But once in a while I want to be able to use features found in other raw apps, within my overall Aperture workflow, but without ending with a TIFF or other 'destructable' file format when continuing my workflow back in Aperture. This should be possible using the routine described here: http://www.apertureexpert.com/tips/2013/8/28/guest-post-catapult-and-aperture-3. html
In my case the problem is that my "old" CS5 version of Photoshop cannot be updated to read D600 files (even though CS5 is not even 3 years old) - I would have to buy a newer version of Photoshop and I have absolutely no intention of doing that. And so I have to find a raw file fomat that is readable by both apps.
On a second note there is a discussion about what raw format is likely to 'live the longest' - also be accessable in 20-30 years. Some say that DNG stand a better chance here than propriatary ones. But I don't know about that and that is not my issue here.
