Automatic slide show

Another query regarding images...
I would like to place an automatic slide show on the opening page of my website. I have previously done this using a flash movie in Dreamweaver, and wonder if it's possible with iWeb. I want a series of images fading slowly one to the other (as on the iWeb album page), and for this 'slideshow' to loop. It would automatically open when the page is loaded, without any command from the viewer. Is it possible to produce something like this using iPhoto?

Some remarks on the slideshow :
1. The closing </head> element before the <body> element is already present at the beginning of the code. Remove the one at the beginning.
2. The closing </body> element before the </html> element is missing.
3. This Javascript file appears twice in the code :
<script src="http://jeffnitschke.com/test2/jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
4. Use one of these files :
<script src="http://jeffnitschke.com/test2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://jeffnitschke.com/test2/jquery-1.4.3.min.js"></script>
5. The styles in this code :
<style>
</style>
appears to be the same as in this file :
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://jeffnitschke.com/test2/nivo-slider.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
Use one or the other.
Suggestion : Use relative pathnames instead of absolute ones. This :
instead of this :
It make the slideshow server independent.
And why has image 2.jpg a link and the others have not? The link doesn't appear to respond.

Pressing S doesn't start or stop automatic slide show in PowerPoint 2008

I have an automatic slide show created in PowerPoint 2008 which runs fine on PowerPoint 12.2.3 on a Mac running OS 10.5.8, but when running the same version of PowerPoint on 10.6.2, pressing the S and equal keys do not stop and start the presentation. The only thing that stops the automatic slideshow is control-mouse-click (which of course brings up the sub-menu). Has any one else experienced this?

Hi Glo H,
I tried that and it didn't fix the problem...the music still starts a bit choppy (part way into the music) at the tail end of the 1st slide/beginning of second. I don't know if I mentioned earlier, that the music, when it does come in, is at the point it should be, i.e. like it started with the first slide, just not coming out of the speakers...if that makes any sense
Thanks,
Rob

Trying to create an automatic slide show

Hello Hello
I've read here where some folks have discovered that making a slideshow exported from iPhoto, or using some sort of quick method in iMovie, produces less than desirable results (even if the jpg files were a decent resolution size)?
I'm working in both iMovie, and mainly in FCE. I do know that each transition placed between each still photo on the timeline either in iMovie or FCE MUST be done manually (placed - inserted where you want them), then all MUST be rendered.
If you're working with many many photos, is there a good quality automatic method to have perhaps the same type transitions placed between EVERY photo AUTOMATICALLY?
Done for you?
Producing the SAME quality as if you'd placed them and rendered them manually yourself?
Thanx
Mike

...is there a
good quality automatic method to have perhaps the
same type transitions placed between EVERY photo
AUTOMATICALLY?
It's possible to apply a transition to two clips or to many. Just select all the clips where you want the transition(s) applied.

Photo gallery slide show - automatic start

I have created a web photo gallery in Adobe Bridge and successfully
opened it in my Dreamweaver site, but I want to the slide show to start automatically because it is on my
first page and I don't want people to have to click on the play button. Can someone tell me if this can be done and if so, how?
Thanks

Hi,
I will gladly help you with your problem but please give me a
link to your gallery wither as a private message or by email
([email protected]). The files here pasted are incorrect, look to
the SetSlideShowTimer() or the StartSlideShow() functions above
that are incomplete. Not mentioning that the CSS are really make
the difference.
It will take me more time to try to reconstruct your
structure, not having all the files you reference and probably not
being able to duplicate your problem because the deployment
failure.

Can you automate an iPad keynote presentation like a slide show?

I have a very basic keynote presentation that I've created on my iPad 2. No fancy transitions, etc. Essentially slides with pictures and information. I need to have it run like a slide show and repeat itself over and over for a static display. Can someone help me accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you will do it by setting the transition options for the slides.

ANNC: Slide Show Magic

http://www.projectseven.com/products/galleries/ssm/
Leaps beyond the ordinary...
Efficient code and buttery smooth animations make for a truly
engaging
user experience. Slide Shows and individual images can be
bookmarked and
all images can be viewed - even if JavaScript is disabled.
Search Engine Friendly
Unlike many of today's Flash and AJAX applications, Slide
Show Magic
markup is always fully visible and indexable by leading
search engines.
Auto-Choreographed Animation
Slide Show Magic detects the size of each incoming full-size
image. If
it's the same size as the current image, the system will
employ a smooth
cross-fader - simultaneously fading out the current image as
the new one
fades in. If the incoming image is a different size than the
current
one, the system will fade out the current image, glide the
image
container to the size of the incoming image, then fade the
new image in.
It's all automatic.
Staged preloader
When the slide show is running in automatic mode, the system
will
preload the next image as the current one is being shown,
providing a
seamless experience in most cases.
Intuitive toolbar controls
The on-page toolbar contains conventional media controls:
First,
Previous, Play, Pause, Next, and Last buttons. It also
contains a slider
bar that allows users to adjust the slide show timing, plus
buttons to
toggle visibility of the thumbnail display and navigation
menu, and an
image counter.
Drag-enabled thumbnail panel
The Thumbnail panel can be dragged about the screen, enabling
users to
fine-tune the interface for best viewing of the show.
Full-Size images can be hyperlinks
Each full-size image can optionally be set as a hyperlink to
another
page, programmed to open in a new window or tab.
Image descriptions
Each full-size image can display an optional description,
which can
contain any type of valid markup (paragraphs, tables, DIVs,
lists,
links, or images).
Automated image processing with Fireworks...
Web-ready images are automatically produced from your
original images,
which can be located on any drive connected to your computer
- including
drives mounted by your digital camera. Slide Show Magic
handles all
image processing automatically - preserving your original
files in their
original locations in their original and unaltered states.
Your images
are scaled, optimized, and neatly organized into folders
within your
defined site.
Import your existing images...
Point to a folder (or folders) that contain your existing
full-size and
thumbnail image and Slide Show Magic will match them up and
add them to
your slide show - unaltered and ready to view.
Organize Images into sets
Slide Show Magic enables you to define logical image sets and
organizes
the thumbnail panel into navigable sets.
Mix landscape and portrait orientations
Your images are never distorted in any way. Original aspect
ratios are
always preserved. Use both landscape and portrait images in
the same
slide show.
Deploy alone or inside existing layouts
Slide Show Magic can be inserted on a page by itself or
inside an
existing page.
Select from 6 Themes
Select a dark toolbar, a light toolbar, shadow boxes (in 3
sizes), or an
image rotator interface. Style themes can even be switched
for existing
slide shows.
Manage it all inside a dedicated Dreamweaver Interface
Add (append) new images
Delete images or re-order them
Manage Descriptions, links, and ALT text
Edit existing full-size or Thumbnail images
Reprocess all of your slide show's images
And lots more, including a comprehensive manual and free tech
support.

Where is the frame rate setting control when making a slide show?

I am trying to make a slide show using QuickTime Pro and cannot find the frame rate control.I put all my consectively-numbered jpegs in one folder. I then clicked on "File," the "Open Image Sequence," then a window opened up and I click on the first jpeg in the series of photos I want in my slide show. Then the first image appears in the QT Window. The instructions next say that I should be able to change the rate at which each slide/jpeg appears, but it doesn't tell you where to find the "frame rate" so I can change it. It doesn't appear at all on its own, so where is it? Anything else I'm missing? Thank you.

What version of Photoshop Elements and or Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system?
In addition, could you please clarify?
It sounds like you are creating your slideshow in the Elements Organizer. Where are you seeing these distortions and blurs, in the Elements Organizer Slideshow Editor Filmstrip or in the Premiere Elements workspace after you have transferred the slideshow from the Elements Organizer 9 Slideshow Editor to Premiere Elements workspace?
What are the pixel dimensions of the photos in this slideshow and how many of these photos are in the slideshow? What format are they in..jpg, psd, other?
With regard to what you wrote:
Also how do I transport them from Elements to Premier, it has a tab to do that but when I get to the elements file I don't know where to drag and drop into.
If you are in the Elements Organizer Slideshow Editor and use the Output option Edit with Premiere Elements, then you would expect the automatic transfer of the slideshow to Premiere Elements, with a copy in video format (.psess) in the project media as well as on the Timeline. Nothing for you to drag and drop.
For all those reasons, I am asking for clarification.
Thanks.

ITunes classic visualizer no longer works in slide-show mode?

I am using iTunes 8.1 (50) and have just noticed that the iTunes classic visualizer no longer works in slide show mode, which means that it just keeps the same colors and patterns without changing automatically, like it used to do. I can press "R" on the keyboard, which loads a new random collection of settings but again it just keeps them without changing. I tried also pressing "D" to go to default settings, but it did not help. Anybody else having this problem? Any ideas for a fix?

Good to know it's not just me. Sure, the old visualizer is anything but a vital feature, but still it's cool to get some variety sometimes so I hope there comes a fix for it.

When trying to add music to a slide show from my PC to TV through Apple Tv the photos are fine but I get an error message that says the music cannot be downloaded.

When trying to add music to a slide show from my PC to TV through Apple Tv the photos are fine but I get an error message that says the music cannot be downloaded.

Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive. If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
-Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
-Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down. You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
-Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes. Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked. You can close Preferences now.
-Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library. iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
Shouldn't have any more problems...

Can I mimic a 'slide show' of stills and videos with this technique

I want to be able to mimic an old fashioned slide show on a Blu-ray disk, except that each 'slide' – I'll call them items – could be a true still, or a still with pan/zoom, or even a short video. Whatever a particular item is, I want to click a button and the show advances to the next item. If the next item is a video, the video pauses on the last frame when it is finished.
Just like the old magazine full of slides, imagine a folder full of items – some may be stills, some videos. After importing into Encore, setting up the navigation and menus, and then burning to Blu-ray, I want to be able to play them in sequence at the press of the Enter button.
I'm pretty much a novice with Encore, and to save spending more time reading the manual, I thought I'd ask if I can mimic a slide show in Encore with the technique described below. I got the idea from page 152 of the PDF manual:
The buttons on a menu are the primary navigation tool for the viewer. They control how the viewer steps through the project. Each button in a menu must lead to another menu, a timeline, a chapter, a playlist, a chapter playlist, or a slide show.
My limited experience with Encore is to set up a series of videos on a single timeline, and generate one menu with a "Start" button on it. When the Blu-ray starts up, the Start screen appears and stays there until I press Enter. Works well.
A slide show of stills using buttons only
So I thought: to generate my old-fashioned slide show (ignore videos for the moment), I would use the buttons themselves as the stills, taking my queue from the quote above: "Each button in a menu must lead to another menu…". My slide show would consist of jumping from one menu to the next. This leads to my first question:
Q1: Is it possible for a menu to have a full-screen button, call it the Image Button, that is actually the still image that is desired to be shown? So the viewer sees the Image Button, thinks it's the image (which it is), but it is actually a button. When the viewer presses Enter, the button activates and goes to the next menu which also happens to be the next full-screen image. The viewer is jumping from Image Button to Image Button, with the buttons filling the screen and being the actual images.
A slide show including videos
To include a video in the slide show, the destination when Enter is pressed would be a timeline with the appropriate video. At the end of this video, the navigation would lead to a menu which has an Image Button of the last frame of the video. The effect is that the video is paused on the last frame, waiting for the user to hit Enter to advance to the next item (still or video).
If there is an easier way to mimic a slide show of stills and videos, please let me know.

Stan – I posted 3 years ago in the Keynote Forums (I'm on Mac) about this sort of thing, knowing that eventually I would want to do it. The answer came back then that Keynote might have problems. So I've recently posted again about Keynote, but no responses as yet.
I expected problems with Encore and welcome some of them. Overcoming problems is the best way to become intimately involved with software.
I'm glad you asked why I don't just use Powerpoint (or Keynote in my case). Now's my chance to clarify my thoughts:
Macs do not upscale very well. Sometimes I may want to show part of a DVD. I've tested playing a DVD on my iMac versus on a Oppo BDP93, fed to a BenQ W7000 projector throwing a 3 metre image. There is an obvious difference in image quality because the Oppo, being hardware based, can interpolate in real time as it scales from 576p (PAL) to 1080P. DVD Player on my iMac simply magnifies the image, resulting in obvious pixellation.
Dissolves and complex effects in Premier challenge any software based h.264 player. I don't like to see decoding artifacts, for example, during a dissolve while a part of the image is also reducing in size, spinning, and disappearing into the distance. An extreme example, but an effect I used once. From my reading of blu-ray player reviews – and from my limited testing – all blu-ray players can easily handle the highest bit rates from a blu-ray disk.
I don't have a laptop so I'd have to buy one. I'd rather spend the money on a dedicated player if that route turns out to be suitable.
I don't trust computers for a presentation. Too unreliable. When I was showing multiscreen audio visuals in the 1980s (4-6 projectors), I always had a backup Tascam 4-track with me, back up soundtrack on tape, back up amp, and a backup slide projector. Even had a backup amp in the car. Speakers, well, if one failed I had two there anyway. With digital, to feel comfortable, I'd have to buy a second laptop. A good quality, backup Blu-ray player can be had for $100. And yes, I do have a backup W7000. I don't trust digital projectors either.
Running a presentation from a laptop always looks amateurish to me. Someone hunched over a tiny screen, fooling around with Windows or OSX. And usually it's all mirrored on the big screen for everyone to see. I'm never impressed. I want to replicate a cinema experience as closely as possible. Darkness, the audience hushed, and up comes the first image.
Any suggestions about automatically linking a whole heap of menus?

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

I have created a slide show in Photoshop Elements 6 as a PDF file and sent it to myself as a trial run. Although I have selected the 'loop' option the show does not run automatically when the email attachement is opened as I believe it should. Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks.

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.

How do you create a 800 x 200 pixell slide show with Photoshop Elements 8?

I have a banner for a web page that measures 800 x 200 pixels. I would like to create a slide show in the whole volume but I have been unable to discover where to change the standard size of the slide show window to 800x200 in Elements 8. Can anyone help?
Al

Many thanks for your reply. I edited a series of photographs to 800x200 as
you described and then attempted to create a slideshow in Slideshow editor.
I get a good horizontal fit in the slide frame but there are black bars top
and bottom since the frame is more than 200 pix high. My question really is
how do I create a 800x200 slide frame that the edited photographs will fit.
Subject: How do you create a 800 x 200 pixell slide
show with Photoshop Elements 8?
In the slideshow editor interface click once on your image in the main
window - you will see a bounding box appear together with editing options.
Click on the More Editing button and when your image opens in full edit
select the crop tool.
Set width to 800 px and height to 200 px and resolution to 72
Drag out your crop rectangle and move your image to the position you want -
this avoids image distortion but you will sacrifice parts of the original to
create a banner.
Press Ctrl=S to save and check version set to save an edit without affecting
the original.
Press Ctrl+W to close and your cropped image should automatically pop up in
the slideshow editor.
