Best way to create slide show with last photo having links

What are some of the best ways to create a slide show (more like a season greeting flash) with the last photo having links and buttons for the viewer to click?
I already have the code for the slide show. What I need now is how do I reference or point to a keyframe that contains the last slide as the background with buttons and hyperlinks? Perhaps, I also need a way to not showing this slide until the last? How do I do that? This last slide with buttons and links are on it's own layer.
The other route would be to create the buttons and hyperlinks in the AS3 code instead of design time. If so, how do I do on the last slide?

Best way to create slide shows in PE4 and PSE 6

What's the best way to create a fancy slide show in PE 4 and PSE 6? I need to create a slide show of about 600 pictures. I'm on Windows XP with 3gb RAM. I've done this a few years ago in earlier versions of PE and PSE. Before i plunge into this again i wanted to get some overall guidance for what to do or not do.
My ultimate goal is to create a slide show that:
1. uses pan and zoom on every photo
2. transitions between every photo
3. has an audio track
4. has some nice special effects -- words and graphics that appear on slide at precisely the right moment to match the song, and stay on the screen as one slide transitions to another. i want the text to be able to move and fade in and out.
My view is that it's easy to accomplish #1-3 in PSE 6; it's quite simple to create a slide show, add pan and zoom, and transitions. However, #4 is not doable because adding text and graphics can only be done on a slide at a time and only when the slide start/stops (i.e., you can't have text appear 2 secs after the slide has started displaying and stay on screen while the next slide appears). Need PE 4 to do that.
What i'm wondering is:
-- is it best to create the basic slide show in PSE6 and then export to PE 4 to do the final fancy stuff, or is it best to just create the show in PE4? Seems that doing the pans, zooms, and transitions are easiest in PSE 6.

eric,
I am going to offer some reasons NOT to start this slide show in Photoshop Elements. This is despite the fact that I have used the workflow of starting in Photoshop Elements and used the Send Slideshow to Premiere Elements in PSE5 - PE 3 and PSE7 - PE7.
1- Timing differences between the PSE and PE slide show construction and processing
There are many differences in timing between the two products. Transitions can start/end slightly offset from their timing in PSE once they arrive and are processed in PE. Same for pan and zoom. Does this matter? Well the more precise your timing, the more potential for a show stopper.
Example: one person who wanted continual motion using pan and zoom needed to go modify the transition positioning and the keyframing of the pan/zooms on every single slide after sending a slideshow from PSE to PRE.
2- your requirement to
"words and graphics that appear on slide at precisely the right moment to match the song, and stay on the screen as one slide transitions to another. i want the text to be able to move and fade in and out."
You can't really sync the audio to a slide in PSE. The text can't move or fade in/out. I think that it will be more grief to retrofit these functions to a slide show that was created in PSE than it will be to do the all the work in Premiere Elements.
3- "Add the sound track for the ENTIRE slide show (this will be longer than i currently have slides for because i don't have all the photos"
I am suspicious that adding the ENTIRE sound track in one PSE slide show will not work.
I have done multiple sends from PSE slide show editor to Premiere Elements. However, I decided on the approach of using no audio in the PSE slideshow editor and adding Audio in Premiere Elements AFTER sending all the slide shows.
Again, your objective of syncing specific photos to music points is good artistically - but I am concerned that it will make your PSE to PRE workflow problematic.
4- "as new photos arrive, do the arrangement/pans/zooms in PSE and move them to PE"
As Steve mentioned when you do subsequent sends of the slideshow, it appends to the end - does not seem to fit your objective of replacing part of the middle.
Also if you get new photos in for the second section of the slideshow - but over in Premiere Elements you had already made other changes in the second section. There is no function to combine new changes doen in PSE and changes done in PE for that same "section" of the slideshow.
5- you did not say whether you will be outputting this slide show in Full Screen or Widescreen format. Will you be burning a DVD? If you will be doing widescreen output, additional problems with specifying pan/zoom in PSE have been identified on various forums because the PSE pan/zoom boxes are not widescreen aspect ratio.
Conclusion:
Some of my comments here are definitely subjective - however, it is my overall conclusion that your objectives and work plan are not a good fit for the Photoshop Elements slide show editor to Premiere Elements workflow.
My perspective on the Photoshop Elements slide show editor is that it is designed to simple, quick and easy. Therefore it has limitations.

What is the best way to send slide show?

I created a slide show with music and am having a hard time sending it. The send button get stuck and it asks for server, even though mine is connected. I tried zipping it and is still won't send?

Diana,
You should burn it to a DVD and mail it to them.

What's the best way to create XML file with a schema from a database table?

Hi,
I want to create an XML file from a database table (which has over 600 columns) using XML schema (.xsd file). I want to know the best way to do this.
The output XML file is NOT a direct data dump from the DB table, there�re some logic around it, such as the XML file has some hierarchy with repeating tags.
I have done this using JAXB by creating Java classes form XML schema, but I don�t want to map 600 DB columns to these Java classes manually, and loop through the record set to create repeating tags.
I know there are few tools around now like MapForce (Altova), how do people do these now?
Thanks,
Chandi

Can you use a schema when we compose XML doc from Database tables?
Actually, I'm using SQL Server (sorry, wrong forum). But, I thought a Java tool would have a solution for me.

What is the simplest way to create slide show

What is the simplest way to create a slide show ? (Premiere Elements 12)

saploe
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Premiere Elements 12 Mac does not have a Slideshow option in its Elements Organizer 12. So, that situation would not yield the two choices of creating the slideshow in the Elements Organizer and taking it into Premiere Elements OR doing the whole project solely in Premiere Elements.
What is going into this slideshow....photos (how many, original pixel dimensions), videos (formats and duration), etc?
What is a description of your computer resources?
How do you intent to export this slideshow...
a. burn to DVD-VIDEO standard or widescreen on DVD disc
b. burn to AVCHD format on DVD disc
c. burn to Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc
d. to file saved to the computer hard drive?
We will customize a reply based on the information that you supply.
Thanks.

Best way to create, modify, XML with JSP ? HELP

Hi friends,
As i am new to XML,
I know there are two APIs used for XML processing, i want to know as a begineer level, which API
is easy and good to implement XML with JSP.
1) SAX
2) DOM
i want to make a log file in XML, so on web page it will be displayed on HTML form through XSL.
Since there is good tutorial on http://www.w3schools.com/dom
but i think its HTML dom
I want XML procession through JAVA CODE , what should i use ? and give some good tutorials on XML DOM
that is used with JAVA / JSP.
HELP.
Edited by: Ghanshyam on Sep 19, 2007 3:24 PM

Well what i think is you gonna checkout with your requirements before implementing any of the popular XML parsing mechnisms.
If you are intrested in faster processing @sacrifising a gud amount of your Memory,DOM is the one which you are looking for.
If you are instrested in Managing your memory and but if you are ok with sacrifising speed SAX is the best solution.it works on what is called a push technology.
and if you think either way you might have to look towards a pull parser which is StAX (Streaming API for XML Parsing)
it'd be a gr8 idea if you can go through the below article which explians about each of the parsing mechanisms
http://www.stylusstudio.com/xml/parser.html#*
coming back to helpful resources as far java is concern checkout the below link which might be of some help.
and the main thing is that all of these parser there is a defined specification you might find implementations of different vendors on this.
eg:Sun Provides one with JDK itself,same as IBM provides one,oracle does the same & so on...
your first task would be to focus on one such implementation which can cater your requirements.

Best way to create a playlist for sharing? having some issues

So my friends and I like to exchange playlists. So I'm trying to create a compilation that when my friend drags the folder of music into his iTunes the order of songs is how I want it. I want it to import into their iTunes like a regular compilation album.
Issues this time around:
- I can't for the life of me make it so the order of the compilation imports in the right order
- One of the songs REFUSES to change info. I change the name of the album to the comp title and select "part of a compilation" it changes but then as soon I play it it changes back to it's original album title and is no longer part of my compilation
What I've done:
- Picked the tracks I wanted and dragged them into a folder on my desktop
- imported them into a playlist in a different iTunes library
- Selected all, command+I, changed the album to the compilation name, marked it as a compilation, marked it as Disc #1 of 1
- Selected each track separately and marked the Track #1 of 15, 2 of 15 and so on
is there something I should be doing differently for better results?

Thanks, Jason...mostly just for neat and clean.
But, John also said we'd have to create an ADS Group to put them in, and use queries to bring those that need into the collection for installation, then remove them when the product shows in ARP. Which is about the same as adding them into the collection
and then never removing (we'd have a group with computers in it).
I had thought there was some way to automatically remove things from manual collections, but...guess not.

Best Way to Backup and Work With Huge Photo Library and Several Locations

My friend has several hundred GB of photos using ACDC on a PC. He just bought a mac mini to make many iphoto books. He works out of 3 locations and carries several external hard drives to work on his iphoto books. He is interested in working on iphoto at several locations and saving each project (photos and albums and books) without being overwhelmed in large backup files. I need help in suggesting a solution.
One suggestion is to travel with his mac mini and external hard drives and archive his iphoto libraries after each project is completed thereby keeping only his working library on his mac mini. Another suggestion is to buy a mac mini for each location and transfer his iphoto library to external drives and take only these along. Another idea is to buy a laptop to replace his mac mini and take that along with the external hard drives. In either case he would have to save and create a new iphoto library periodically to avoid overflowing his mac mini or laptop hard drive. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

Perfectly possible:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Back up to the 2TB drie:
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

Build a slide show with various photos from different events?

Is it possible to select various photos from a few different events, and then select "Create slideshow"?
How do I select just the specific photos I want for the slideshow, and not load the entire event(s).
Thanks!

You can also select one or more photos, then create a new slideshow (Add to->Slideshow->New Slideshow), then open any other Event or album and drag selected photos onto the slideshow's icon in the left panel. You can reorder the slides in the horizontal strip at the top of the main panel when viewing the slideshow.

Best way to create frame with stroke around a paragraph?

What is the best way to create a frame with a stroke around text? I
always thought it was with an inline frame, but now I see that trying to
put the cursor in the text is very difficult because the frame blocks
the cursor. Is there a better way?

Thanks guys.
What I was doing was putting the anchored frame in an empty paragraph
above the paragraph that needed the box. The problem was when I tried to
put the cursor in the text the anchored frame blocked it. Why is an
anchored frame on top of text?
The easy solution would be to cut/paste the text into the anchored frame
(which would be similar to Ole's single cell table idea). I didn't want
to go this route for two reasons:
1) I don't want to cut and paste every paragraph.
2) I didn't want the story to be broken up. I wanted it to be one long
flow of text. It makes tings easier just in case the paragraphs have to
break across two pages.
Jongware's underline/strikethrough idea is another good one, but I don't
like the idea of putting in all those extra characters.
What I ended up doing was using paragraph rules. I set the rule above to
1pt larger on all sides than the rule below so it looked like a box with
a stroke. Of course, the problem with paragraph rules is getting it the
right size. I wrote a script that calculates the size of the text and
sets the rule size the correct amount.
Of course this still has its problems when the boxes need to break pages...

How can I send a slide show with email?

I am trying to send an album but want the receiver to get them as a slide show. does someone knows how?

Note that any kind of file containing a slide show with multiple photos is going to be quite large, most likely, and thus is not really appropriate for e-mail. Many servers won't accept attachments beyond a certain size, many people operate with strict mailbox size limits, and so your message may never arrive at its destination. I'd encourage you to do something else. For example, I think you can create a movie file - possibly using iMovie, I'm not sure though. Do that and upload it to YouTube, then send people an e-mail invitation to view it. If desired, YouTube allows you to set it to be viewable only to those who are invited and not to the general public.

Building a Slide Show with Professional looking titles for each slide.

The only way I have figures out to product a slide show with titles is too put the title on in Photoshop and this is very time consuming. With all the different ways to make slides shows with Studio Pro, Imovie, Iphoto, etc. is there an efficient way to place titles on each slide.

You might consider:
PhotoToMovie
FotoMagico
or something similar.
BTW, I'm in Spokaloo as well.

What is the easiest way to create and share photo/video gallery or slide show with family via web?

I am brand new to Lightroom (converted from Aperture) and made the conversation mainly because I thought that Adobe would bring many more options and because Apple has discontinued development of Aperture. Part of the reason I am asking this question is because there is so much information out there on this subject that it is overwhelming and actually is making it difficult to determine the best way to simply arrange my photos/videos into a slideshow and then to publish somewhat of a gallery or slideshow to show family and friends in other states.
I do not like publishing things to Facebook/etc. Too public. I just want a simple, efficient way to create a gallery with music and have a link I can send to my family (they all live in another state).
Any help narrowing this down for me would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
RJ Chesterton

an airport extreme base station would do the job, it has several ethernet ports for use by non-wireless devices, allows connecting a usb printer to share, and supports both pc and mac via wireless
config is via a dedicated set-up utility
however, you can always connect the printer to the mac or pc and share it that way, so having this support in the base station isn't essential
a much cheaper unit from netgear etc. (such as the netgear wgr614) would offer the other features, be far more compact, and allow configuration via web browser, which might be a factor if you need to give 'remote support'
i've got both airport and netgear wireless devices, imho for non-technical users the netgear is simpler than the airport due to the web browser configuration

What is best app for photo slide show with music

Photoshop, Elements, or LR - for photo slide show with music

Are those the only choices you want to consider? Which do you already use? Here's my take on the slideshow capability in each:
Photoshop CS6 and CC: You can create slieshows in a video format but you will have to crawl through hoops and climb barrels to get what you want. The timeline feature of Photoshop is not exactly intuitive.
Elements: Can't comment since I have never used the software.
Lightroom: much easier than Photoshop to create a slideshow but also extremely feature limited. Slideshows can run directly from the software or rendered as a video. Only one music track is allowed with limtied transitions effects. Want the fabled 'Ken Burns' effect? Forget it!
Neither of these choices specifically target slideshow creation and I would certainly not pick any for this purpose (unless you already use them). Best to seek software dedicated for slideshows. Several are free.
