Aperture slideshow to DVD

Is it possible once I finish my slideshow to burn it to a DVD? If so what's the process please. Thank you

What TD meant was export a slideshow movie from Aperture. It sounds like you exported the photos and used iDVD to create the slideshow.
1. Open the slideshow in Aperture and click the Export button on the upper right corner of the Aperture window.
2. In the Export for popup menu choose AppleTV/iPad as a minimum setting. You could select AppleTV/iPad(720p), HD720p or HD1080p which will give you a larger final movie file-size out of Aperture which presumably will result in a better DVD but it will probably take longer for iDVD to process. You won't get an HD result out of iDVD, it will still be Standard Definition but better input usually leads to better output.
3. Import the resulting movie file into iDVD.

  • 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'...

    I am also very disappointed with not being able to produce good quality movies on a DVD...

  • 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.

  • How do I show and aperture slideshow on Apple TV?

    I would like to show an aperture slideshow on Apple TV with airplay.  Is this possible or do I have to export it as quicktime or something fir

    Do you have any suggestion for making my flat screen color match my monitor better? I calibrate my monitor using Color Eyes Display Pro, so I am aware that I may never have an exact match, but it would be great to be closer.
    Also, what is 'handbrake'?
    Thanks again!
    Handbrake is a video conversion application. It transcodes DVDs, BluRay video or any simple video file such as those output by Lightroom into almost anything you want, but focused on files that iPhones and AppleTV understands. It's online here: http://handbrake.fr/ . I use it on all my video to lower the filesize significantly. I don't do a lot of video, but sometimes do "behind the scenes" stuff simply in iMovie, but the files that output are crazy large and can be really lowered in size simply by running them through handbrake.
    Regarding the color matching, this can generally be done by calibrating the settings on your HDTV using something like a calibration disk. Generally these TVs (even if they are big name brands) come really badly calibrated out of the box to oversaturate color and give way too much contrast and far too high black levels as that is what consumers tend to like. They are also generally set up to sharpen the images, which you really do not want as it changes contrast (it impacts gamma) and such so turn off all sharpening and all dynamic contrast modes in the TVs menus. If you have kids, the Disney BluRay disks include a calibration tool that works really well. I have used the one on our Toy Story 3 BluRay disk to calibrate the living room HDTV. Afterwards I get really good matching results from it when streamed to from the AppleTV.

  • 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. 

  • Projecting an Aperture Slideshow

    I have created a slideshow with Aperture 3.0. I would like to project it on a screen at a wedding reception. Could someone please advise me what the best way to do this is and what equipment I will need? Also, can an Aperture slideshow be burned to a CDR or DVD? Thank you.

    Oh, I think it goes far beyond that. Depending on what cool add-ons you've installed on your Mac, your normal user account may be set up to do all kinds of things on screen, like activate your screen saver (are all the pics OK for public viewing?), display notifications for incoming emails or instant messages, display reminders from iCal like "Stop by love store for wife," "Deliver report on (top secret product)", "Get refill of (embarrassing prescription)", etc. You don't want any messages or unwanted imagery to pop up and stay up on the big screen until you get around to noticing...
    Instead of having to remember what to shut off before your screen is left running in front of a couple hundred people, it's highly recommended that you simply use or create an alternate blank user account with a blank desktop and no goodies running, and features like the screen saver, screen dimming, and the automatic sleep timer, all shut off. This way you know nothing compromising can possibly appear during the wedding and that the machine will not be set to go black at some point. A separate account also gives you the opportunity to customize the desktop or name, as suggested earlier, for the special couple without being concerned about any effects on your normal user account and without having to remember what to reverse later.

  • 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.

  • Can someone please tell me a simple but effective method for burning a slideshow to DVD? Now that the connection between iPhoto and iDVD no longer exists, I can't figure out a way to get there with an acceptable quality result.

    Can someone please tell me a simple but effective method for burning a slideshow to DVD? Now that the connection between iPhoto and iDVD no longer exists, I can't figure out a way to get there with an acceptable quality result.

    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size = Medium or Large.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago. 
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them. 
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

  • Putting an iPhoto slideshow on DVD with Toast

    Hello
    I have a LaCie DVD burner, bought from the Apple shop in London with Toast Titanium 6. I want to save an iPhoto slideshow to DVD. Problem is, every time I try to drag a song from the Finder to Toast, I get the message that I do not have a valid Jam license.
    Can anyone please explain this to me? I am wondering if the Apple shop may have sold me the wrong product for my iBook!
    Thanks...

    PS. I can now get both slide-show and music on the DVD but can't play them simulteneously.
    Thanks to anyone who can advise..

  • Quality of slideshow on dvd very blurry

    Hi I used iPhoto to create a slideshow of my son with ken burns effect. When I play the slideshow in iPhoto, it is silky smooth. But when I use iDVD to burn the slideshow to DVD and play back the slideshow on a DVD player and normal TV set, the ken burns effect is very blurry and you can see the individual pixels as the image pans. Can anyone help me on how to create a slideshow on DVD which has as good quality as that when played in iPhoto?

    linusloo:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I'm not surprised because the images have to go thru two rendering/encoding processes when done that way. iPhoto converts it to a QT movie then rendering the images to a different size and pixel type, from square to rectangle (or it may be the other way around). Then when encoded by iDVD it gets further compressed to fit on the DVD disk.
    I found the best image quality is obtained by importing the still photos into iDVD and creating the slideshow entirely in iDVD. You can't have the KB effect and can only have one transition per slideshow buy the image quality, IMO, if much better. Also iDVD lets you add titles and/or comments at the bottom of any slide you choose.
    Do you Twango?

  • 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.

  • Burning Slideshow to DVD

    I would be grateful if someone could explain how to burn a slideshow to DVD so that it can be watched on TV. I have created a slideshow and exported it and it is in the iphoto slideshow folder as .M4v file.
    I don't know how to get it from there to DVD. I have Toast Titanium 10.
    All suggestions appreciated.

    You can use the Share -> Send to iDVD command in iPhoto to send the slideshow to the iDVD app which will burn the DVD for you. For using Toast check the Toast Help.

  • Burning slideshows to DVD

    Is it possible to burn saved slideshows to DVD that was created in Lr5

    It depends on your target. Do you want a standard video DVD that plays in all DVD players? If so be aware that the quality will be very low 480p video whatever software you use. On any modern HDTV this looks fairly poor but it is the best you can do with standard video DVD. On Macs people would use iDVD or something like Toast. On PCs I have no clue but I am sure a quick google would show a lot of tools. With those softwares you usually simply drag the Lightroom output video file into the app and hit burn.
    If your target is any recent BluRay player, you do NOT want to burn a DVD the above way. Just stick the DVD or burnable CD (usually big enough for this as your Lightroom output file is not often bigger than a few 100 Megs) in your drive and have the OS (if it is a Mac) mount it, drag the Lightroom output file on and hit burn. It probably works similarly on recent windows versions but I don't know the details. This disc should play in high def on almost any recent BluRay player. If you want something more fancy with menus and such you need a full BluRay authoring app. Most are super expensive but there are a few that are affordable such as Toast 11 Pro. Adobe makes a BluRay authoring product too called Encore which can be downloaded as part of creative cloud if you download premiere.
    In all this make sure to export the slideshow at high enough resolution. For BluRay playing, you want 1080p. For standard video DVD you want something a little better than 480p, so 720p. The DVD authoring software will downscale it for you.
