Aperture to DVD

I'm new to Aperture. Using the software to archive and edit wedding and portrait images. Last weekend, I had 650 wedding pics that I needed to burn to a DVD. Exported the images to a burn folder. It took over 3 hours to get them all copied to the folder.
Is this reasonable? Some of my weddings go well over 1,000 images. If this length of time is standard/normal for copying 650 pics to a burn folder, then I really need to know if there's a better/faster/more efficient....yet safe....way to get this accomplished.
How do YOU export and burn photos from Aperture to DVD?
Thanks for all feedback.

Ah. Using highlight & shadow adjustments can slow down Aperture 1.5's exporting five-fold.
Let me make sure I understand: if I'm only shooting JPGs, there's no RAW conversion, which means the time that's being consumed is due to the various adjustments Aperture's having to do?
Plus resizing if the output size is different form the original, and converting to another colour profile if the input and output profiles are different, and compressing the new JPEG. Apart from resizing, all those tasks should take hardly any time at all.
Also, would a third party DVD burning program for Mac improve the situation?
It's not going to make any difference at all.

Exporting from Aperture to DVD

I am trying to export a slideshow , created in Aperture to DVD so that it can be played back in a DVD player.
Each time I export the slideshow it exports in Quick Movie format which is not compatible.
How do I select the format to burn to a DVD that is playable via a DVD player?

Aperture doesn't have a specific setting for exporting a slideshow for import into iDVD. I've been using the AppleTV setting to keep the highest quality possible as the source for the DVD. I haven't tried iDVD but DVD Studio Pro and Compressor do a bang up job with the AppleTV sized movie.

Aperture and DVD Player no longer work with NVIDIA 330M, help!

I recently got my computer back from the Apple Store, had the display switched because the glass kept falling off.
Anyways, since getting it back, I noticed DVD Player doesn't work anymore, it gives me:
There was an initialization error
A valid video device could not be found for playback. [-70017]
And when I try to start Aperture 3.3:
Error
The installed graphics card does not meet the minimum requirements for Aperture.
I have a mid-2010 MBP i5 2.4Ghz with 8GB memory, running OSX 10.7.4.
Things i have tried:
Reset PRAM
Reset SMC
Boot into recovery mode and fix permissions
Boot into 32 bit kernel
force fsck
Create new user and try from that account
Also my video conference software, Jabber gives an error and quits too. Its something with the video.
Switching to Intel HD video, everything works fine. Only with the NVIDIA 330M do I get this error.
Does anyone have any idea what this may be or what I could try?

I'm having exactly the same problem. Additionally, the DVDs I make aren't recognized by other Macs I've tried. All the Preferences are set correctly.
My dvd player no longer reads commercial movies or a
dvd project I just burned with it. Disks no longer
show on my desktop when they are inserted. When I
got to dvd player and manually press play it reads
"not Permitted" for both.
The burner does work in as I played the dvd in my
home dvd player.

Export projects in aperture to DVD

How do you create a DVD from Aperture projects and slide shows?

Create a slideshow project in Aperture.
Select the images you want to use in your slideshow, and use the command "File > New > Slideshow"
Pick a slideshow theme, add captions and music, and then use the "Export" button to render a video of your slideshow.
Then use third-party software to burn the video as a video DVD. Aperture does not provide burning video DVDs.
For software for burning DVDs see:
How to create a video-DVD? (Macs without iDVD): Apple Support Communities
and

How did Apple do that on the Aperture tutorial DVD intro?

If you have the new Aperture software, on the DVD tutorial which came with Aperture, the intro that plays when you first play the movie is very good and I would like to know how they did this.
What I am very interested to know is on the index page for Output, there is an image of a photo album book, the pages turn on this book every few seconds and it looks very good, I would love to know how to replicate this.
Thanks

Man, that was really hard to find. You gotta go to the topic index page.
It's not easy in Motion, my guess is that, like the exploding photographs, it was done in After Effects.
A 3D plane in AE can have two faces and you can place the rotation axis along the far edge. As the page turns toward the camera, you get that distortion, elegantly portraying a page turn without the way too commonly-seen curling edge.
Back before AE did 3D, we would simulate this by distorting the first image, the front of the page, until it was vertical and becomes a single-pixel. You then switch to another image that runs the same distortion keyframes in reverse to lay down the back face of the page

Aperture stills importing to DVD Studio Pro

apart from loading all my aperture library into iPhoto (and that generates loads of extra files on the drive), is there a way to import stills from Aperture into DVD Studio Pro? There seems to be an iphoto or a file browser input but nothing from Aperture. Any ideas folks?

Have you tried dragging the folder of stills from the finder into the DVDSP assets tab?

DVD Studio Pro & Aperture

Greetings to all
I use DVD studio pro. 4. Is there any way to import pictures from Aperture through DVD Studio pro? When you click on the sills tab, you can see your iphoto library but not Aperture's. Is there any way possible to do this?
Thanks

In the stills tab there is an + and - button. If you click the + button you can then navigate to other folders on your hard drive etc and add other folders of pics. So assuming that works and you know where your pics in Aperture are residing can't you do the same? The only problem may be the fact that Aperture works on images and if you do edits etc it actually doesn't "edit" the original. How that works in times of file management I'm not sure (don't have Aperture yet...)

How do I install software from DVD on mini with no Optical Drive

I purchased Aperture on DVD at an Apple store in 2007 when the App store did not exist. The new Mac mini does not have an optical drive. I did not migrate applications from my previous Mac mini because it doesn't seem to let you choose which applications. (I had several legacy migrations involved and didn't want that junk on my new mini.) The App store, of course, does not know I've already paid for Aperture and wants to charge me to download it. I discovered you cannot install from another computer's DVD just by mounting that DVD on the target computer. It will tell you it can't install over the network. It also won't let you drag the contents of the DVD onto the target computer (which worked with Office 2011). It will tell you that method of installation is not supported. All Apple could suggest was to buy an optical drive which would have been almost anoher $100. Apple support doesn't seem to understand why Aperture is not in my iTunes purchase history (because iTunes didn't exist for Aperture then!)
I just had a wonderful discovery. I found this support article that details how you have to turn DVD sharing on under Sharing Preferences on the computer that does have the optical drive, then you can use the Remote Disc under Devices on the target computer to request use of that drive. Finally, the installer will run.
I'm putting this info here because I searched but was unable to find this subject in the Support Community. I'm sure someone has asked this question, but I couldn't form a query that would find it.
Article from Apple with instructions for Remote Disc
Now if someone could just tell me how to get the App store turned on for my copy of Aperture so I don't have this issue in the future when no Apple computer will have an optical drive!

Actually, when I followed that link, one of the related links in More Like This was a real find! An actual download of Aperture, albeit a trial, but that would have solved my problem too. I tested it and although it's embeded in a support article, the link to the trial version of Aperture still works.
Thanks! Great info here if you can find it.

I purchased Aperture from the App Store several years ago. Now I want to install it on 10.7. How do I do that? Thanks.

I purchased Aperture from the App Store several years ago. Now I want to install it on 10.7, but the current version requires 10.10. How can I install an older version of Aperture that will run on 10.7?
Thanks

Click here and try following the instructions. If they're not applicable, get an Aperture 3 DVD.

Aperture export is not working, "Choose" buttons also not reacting

Suddenly I can't export versions, originals, metadata and export as library anymore. Also all "Choose" buttons do not react anymore. For example its not possible to open another Library or choose the external photo editor in Preferences. If I login with my second useraccount Aperture does work just fine.
On Monday I had no problems at all. Sofar I did the following things:
FIRST.
Repair Diskpermissions and Verify disk which was OK.
Moved to desktop following files:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Apertue
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Aperture
Emptied the trash and restarted. The problem is not solved.
SECOND.
All the above actions and restart.
Aperture Photolibrary first aid, "Repair Permissins" , "Repair Database" and "Rebuild Database".
The problem is not solved.
THIRD.
Uninstalled Aperture and removed all files containing the frase "Aperture" (as far as these files had any connection with the application).
Repair Diskpermissions and Verify disk which was OK.
Emptied the trash and restarted.
Installed Aperture from DVD and update via Apstore.
Still the same problems so I am asking the form members for help.
Mathieu

Are you having any troubles wiht other applications run from this account?
From what you wrote you seemed to have covered all the bases not sure what else to suggest. What is the system?
Do you have any plugins installed in Aperture ? What about any applications, plugins etc, for this account?
You can try doing a safe boot (hold the shift key down as soon as you hear the start up chime. Hod it until the Apple appears on the screen) Safe boot takes longer to come up, there will be a status bar at the bottom of the screen while it boots. Once it is up you will see Safe Boot in red letters at the top of the screen on the login page. This might not work if you have File Vault turned on.
Once booted in Safe mode log in. Aperture use to not run in Safe mode because the graphics card is restricted but I believe in 3.5. it will run. Note everything will be slow and jerky.
See if that makes a difference. Once done testing boot normally and try it again.

Aperture 3 Sample Library

Hi,
The Aperture 3 DVD includes a sample library and also a "Wyoming" folder.
Because I have installed an Aperture 3 trial version three days ago and entered the serial number into it, I don't have the DVD and the sample library.
Do you know how can I get the sample library? I really want it to use it with the "Exploring Aperture" PDF and for testing.
Thanks.
(sorry if my english is not perfect!)

I, too, was frustrated by having the "Getting to know Aperture" PDF (not the exact name) and not having access to the sample library. I was using Lr3b at the time. What I did was
- import all new shots to both Lr3b and Ap3
- process everything in Lr3b, and as time allowed, tried to do the same in Ap3 (and slowly learned how it worked)
I did read the PDF I mentioned above, and I did go through almost every one of the short lessons using my own photos. It was a good introduction to the interface and the processes involved.
When I was done testing -- long before my 30-day Ap3 trial expired -- I purchased Ap3. I am still in the process of moving my photos to Ap3. I now do all my processing in Ap3.
Again, it is frustrating to have to buy the product to access the sample library (I loaded it from CD and never used it), but it is +in no way+ an impediment to learning and/or testing Ap3.

Aperture 2 Canon G9 Raw problem

If you have any raw files in Aperture 1.5.x libraries they should be deleted fist before upgrading. This images were not compatible in 1.5.x and cannot be read. I kept them in 1.5.x thinking when an upgrade would come they would then be supported.
See intial post of the problem at: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1408070&tstart=0
The solution is as follows:
Before upgrading to Aperture 2 back up your vault
Then delete any unsupported raw .cr2 files that may be in the library.
I tried exporting the raw files first before deleting them but files became corrupted. Try any way it may work for you.
Back up your library again under a different name to a new vault. This new vault will ne all images minus the raw.
You now will have to back ups of your Aperture 1.5.x libraries- one with raw and all other images - one of just your images and no raw.
This is done just to be super safe.
Make sure you have all upgrades of Leopard, Aperture 1.5.6 and Iphoto? loaded and running OK.
Now insert you Aperture 2 dvd disk and follow the instructions to upgrade.
All should go well with no worries off losing your images.
Today I will try the new features of Aperture 2. So far it does seem to run a little faster.
New raw files imported perfectly with no problems.
Again the problem I had is related to Canon G9 raw files that are not supported im Aperture 1.5.6 library then upgrade to Aperture 2 and tried to rad them and open them in CS3 within the new Aperture 2 taking out all the other jpg image in the same project.
Again for more detail on this problem read the initial post linked above.
Enjoy and remeber always back up even the backup.
SH

Well, I really should pay closer attention to Apple tech support. The Apple document here is correct: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307342
The solution is EASY:
After importing a project with the Canon G9 RAW files into Aperture 2, they have incorrect aspect ratios, as we all experienced. I simply selected the distorted RAW files, chose File--> Migrate and checked the box to update my RAW files. Lo and behold! All fixed.
No more problem.
(I really should pay closer attention to what I read...)
Hope it works for you.

Help, No Aperture Install disk and in field shooting.

Help, I can not get my AP3.03 window to open and I need to use AP. I am in a Workshop in British Columbia far from Home(in Texas) and my Aperture Installation DVD.
Does anyone have a suggestion on what to get Aperture to run. The Dock shows Ap running but there is no window for aperture. It was working last night but not this morning. The most recent activity is trying to Empty the Aperture Trash.
Thanks in Advance.

Before you panic:
1) Aperture is probably still installed. It's not the sort of thing that could be accidentally deleted or over-written without you realizing it.
2) Another possibility is that your disk/filesystem is corrupt. You should run Disk Utility and have it do a "Verify Disk" (you can't do a "Repair Disk" on the disk you used to boot the machine -- you have to boot from an alternate disk or the install DVD to perform one of these) and see if indicates any errors in the filesystem. You should also do a "Repair Permissions". This normally finds a few problems and unless any of those problems have to do with Aperture they are not likely related to your problem.
3) A more likely cause is that there's some corruption in one of the ".plist" files in your home folder. This is relatively easy to test. Create a new user account on the Mac. Try to start Aperture from that new account. If Aperture starts up, it proves the actually Aperture install is fine and the issue is something in your own home folder. USUALLY this would be in your ~/Library/Preferences folder. "com.apple.Aperture.plist" (and there may be two others with Aperture in the name) are good candidates. You can usually just drag them to a different location (no need to delete). Then start Aperture and see if it helped. Note that hiding the ".plist" file resets all your preferences (because they would have been in that .plist file) so you may need to go back through your prefs again.
4) Lastly... if you really did manage to delete or damage your Aperture install, just download the Trial copy. It's the same program as the shrink-wrap version (the shrink-wrap version comes with a demo library of images which isn't included in the trial) but the actual program itself is the same. The license key is NOT contained inside the Aperture application... it's in a different directory and would not be over-written or deleted should you need to re-install.

Aperture 3.4 update crashes when opening.

I updated my 2011 Macbook Air with Aperture 3.4 and now it crashes evertime it ties to open. How do I correct this? I have the Aperture 3 DVDs so the Apstore is not an option!... Help!
Thanks,
Lyle

There is a problem with the Aperture installer. In some cases the installation is not complete, if you update on top of a recent version.
See this Support article by Apple on how to do the reinstall: It will tell you how to remove your ciúrrent installation and to reinstall.

HT200165 How can I install my Aperture program to my new macbook?

I would like to install my Aperture program to my new macbook. Does anyone know how this can be done? Apple says that it is legal to do so, but their instructions are full of doublespeak and jargon. Can anyone please simplify the answer?

If you downloaded Aperture 3 from the Apple Store and not the AppStore, then you cannot download it from the AppStore to your other mac. You need the original installer disk image you downloaded. If you did not keep that, download the Trial installer - you can unlock it with your registration key.
A copy of the Trial Installer is here:
Aperture 3.1 Trial.
Download the Aperture 3.1 Trial.
Open the Aperture Trial disc image.
Double-click the "Aperture Trial.mpkg" file.
Follow the onscreen instructions to install Aperture.
After the installation completes, choose Software Update from the Apple () menu.
Install the Aperture 3.4 update from the list of available updates.
Note: If you are using OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later, you may receive an alert stating that Aperture is from an unidentified developer. This can occur when you try to install Aperture from DVD or the trial download. See OS X Mountain Lion: The app is from an unidentified developer for details on how to successfully install Aperture in this situation.

Léonie
