Blu-Ray slide show photo rotation

I am making Blu-Ray slide shows using Premier Elements 11 from albums created in Elements 11. In the finished slide shows many of the pictures are not correctly rotated. The compiler is pulling the original photo from My Pictures and not from the album; the photos were correctly rotated in the albums. Is there a fix for this? Is the only solution to go through 5,000 photos in My Pictures and rotate the photos that were taken vertically?

Do a search, and you'll see lots of issues with Encore Bluray slideshows. I do not know what the formula may be for success. I do not use them.
Yes, a plain slideshow has one mts per slide. A slideshow with transition but no zoom/pan has one per slide and one per transition. A slideshow with transition and zoom/pan has one per slide with the full duration per mts.
A variety of quality issues have been reported, but I don't recall the color flashes issue. I get what looks very similar to me.
I recommend doing the slideshow in Premiere, and just having no control for the user. One person reported making a chapter point for each slide, and that allowed some advance.
You can get a clean slide using no transitions and no pan/zoom; H264 for project settings (used for slideshows) is the recommendation when Mpeg results in poor slideshow quality.

Wedding anniversary blu ray slide show help

Hi there,
I want to make a photo slideshow blu ray quality 1080p.
I have 150 inch projection screen at home and using
Epson home lite cinema projector 1080p. I am taking photos with
Nikon d40 camera RAW images and using Aperture 3.0.
I have final cut pro hd 4.5 . I am willing to buy any other software, hardware
In order to finish this 100 photo slide show since it means more than
anything for me. but I want to make sure it looks blu ray quality on my
150 inch wall screen.
Please provide your pro advice.
Thank you
Jim

Hello,
I suggest you try a program called Photo to Movie. See link below. I have used this
application for many years, and it will do all that you need. It takes about 15 minutes
to learn and can give very sophisticated results. You can export from program to final
delivery, or go onto FCP if needed.

Changing Duration of Slide Show Photos In Aperture 3?

Just made my first slide show in Aperture 3. The program defaults all slide show photos to a display time of 3 sec. How do I change all the slides from 3 sec to something else?
thanx

I played around with templates hoping that would bring forth some hidden "slide duration" controls...but no luck.
In iPhoto I can change the slide duration for each slide individually.
For A3...this capability eludes me.
Anyone figure this out yet?

IPhoto slide shows and rotation

Slide shows I have created in iPhoto 6.0.6 and synced to Apple TV have occasional images rotated 90 degrees from normal. They show fine within iPhoto previews, but give a different result on Apple TV. Any idea how I can resolve this?

I've managed to solve this problem without resorting to Apple's suggested manual revert on each photo. Here's what I've done.
Disclaimer: 1) This involves some light work in the Terminal. If you're not comfortable with that, you'd probably be better off following Apple's suggestion. 2) It's always wise to have a backup of your photo library, just in case you make a mistake and want an easy way to revert to where you started. 3) I'm using iPhoto 6, not iPhoto 7 (which is the later version). The instructions shouldn't change much, but in iPhoto 7 you'll have to deal with the library being wrapped as a package. And there may be other minor differences I'm not aware of.
1) Verify that you're dealing with the same problem I am. The major symptoms are that the image(s) appears correctly in iPhoto, but is rotated incorrectly in Apple TV. Also, the image should have been modified (probably rotated...) under iPhoto 4 or earlier, which means it was probably taken in 2004 or earlier, and if you click on the "Photos" menu while it's selected, "Revert to Original" will not be greyed out. Finally, if you open the photo in Preview (Right click on the photo -> Show File, then double-click to open), it should appear incorrectly rotated, as in Apple TV. If any of these things are not true, you should probably stop now, because we're not dealing with the same problem.
2) Identify all the messed-up files, and put them in a new iPhoto album. This is the most tedious step. I just set my Apple TV to 2-second delay, played the Library slideshow, and followed along on my computer, dragging each messed-up photo into the new album I had created.
3) Download ExifTool, a command-line utility that will let you modify jpeg metadata. <http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/> I didn't bother with the "Mac OS X Package" dowload -- just used the generic download link at the top of the page.
4) Open Terminal, and cd to the ExifTool directory.
5) Just to make sure things are working as expected, display the Orientation tag for one of your files. Type "./exiftool -Orientation " -- include the space at the end, and don't hit Return. Drag one of the messed-up photos into the Terminal window. The name of the file will appear on the command line. Now hit Return. You should get this output:
Orientation : Horizontal (normal)
6) Type "./exiftool -Orientation=Horizontal ". Again, include the extra space and don't hit Return. Drag the photos you want to fix into the Terminal window (might be wise to try just a few first, to make sure it works...) Before hitting Return, make sure each listed file appears in "iPhoto Library/Modified", not "iPhoto Library/Originals" -- you don't want to be messing with any originals. Hit Return. You should see this for each file:
Warning: Duplicate Orientation tag in IFD0 - /Users/Shared/iPhoto Library/Modified/2004/Roll 31/IMG_0861.JPG
7) The photos should now display correctly. Check to make sure.
8) If you'd like to, clean up the backups that exiftool has created by executing this command (entered exactly, but -- obviously -- changing the path to point to your photo library):
find "/Users/Shared/iPhoto Library" -name "*JPG_original" -exec rm \{\} \;
(Careful with this command -- it will permanently delete files. If you want to make sure you're deleting the correct files without actually doing so, leave off the "-exec" and subsequent stuff. Doing so will just list the filenames, not delete them.)

Final cut pro crashing with slide show photos

I am working with a large slide show - a few movie clips, but mostly still images from Aperture. The photos were shot wtih a Nikon D300 in Raw, not that I think that matters much at all.
Becasue this is a slide show I am working wth short durations for the images - usually 3:14. Most of the transitions are simply cross dissolve, but some are more complex.
I am getting again and again crashes - or the spinning color circle going to oblivion and requiring a Force Quit.
Either can happen when adding new material, moving arround existing material, or trying to reset durations, add text, different transitions, or working wth the Ken Burns options. Sometimes it also happens when resizing the time line zoom level.   This marvelous feature seems the most consistent way of trashing the application so I tend to leave it alone.
I may be able to work for an hour or only a few minutes. Sometimes deleting and re-adding an image seems to help, but that may not be true - most of the time it's just simply random.   The system has 14 Gig Ram and I am using iCleanMemory now to see how much is in play. A crash / freeze may occur with a lot or a little - usually looks like I have about 8.9 Gig in play for normal use of Final Cut and no clear change when it crashes / freezes.
Clearly the images are compatible - they are from Aperture and there is no consistency in always the same image being the issue.
Below is the first part of the error report dump.
Hoping someone has an idea for how to overcome this.
Appreciate the thoughts.
Cheers -
Dan

objc[1012]: garbage collection is OFF

Well, I filmed many of those videos in HDV (the 2x2 wall, the 5x5 wall and some of the 10x10 wall). Plus I converted the whole project to HDV because it is the way I displayed it (thru camera to Plasma TV's) and I wanted the HD space to work with and since part of my videos were HDV I figured that would be best.
Of course the DV footage is not so good quality, but when made very small for that big screen it looks fine I think. Yeah the AIC codec is great but it takes 4 times as much room, but you think that would work better hey?
I just don't want Final Cut crashing like that. I don't care if it can't play it back in real time or it takes 10 seconds to display 1 frame.
I have not used motion....would it work for what I did. Remember I used over 100 discreet video streams I had. I don't want to replicate the same layer...you get the drift.
Did you see it in youtubes HD? What did you think of the quality?

Notes on Slide Show Photos

I'm making a number of slide shows from color slides. I want to put short notes on the bottom of the photos so the notes appear on the pictures as they are shown. Can I do this with I Photo or do I have to get other software to add this feature?
Thanks
Pineapple

I don't think you can add notes to the bottom of an iPhoto slideshow, although you may be able to do so if making the slideshow in iMovie or Quicktime. I suggest posting to the iPhoto forum where you'll get more specific help from users who work with iPhoto.
Here is the link to the iPhoto 6 forum.
If you are using iPhoto 5, go here.

Encore CS4 Blu-ray Asset shows 00:01:00 upon Import?

Hello,
I was wondering if anybody elase has seen this. I make my mpeg-2 Blu-rays in Edius (CBR because Encore will not accept VBR without transcoding) and make the BD n Encore.
Every so often when I import a file it shows up as only one mintute in length even though Encore will show the correct file size and "don't transcode"
Any ideas?
Also, why does importing and exporting (to folders) take so long when I am dealing with assets that do not need to be transcoded?
Thanks

Yes, 720p60 progressive.
This only happens about every fifth file I bring in. So a lot work, only some do not. But they work after I delete the 00:01:00 file and re-import it.
Am I getting over a filesize threshold? This last file was 21GB and I can remember another being this large as well.

PSE 6 slide show photos too large for TV screen

I have been collecting, scanning and saving family photos for over a year to create a slide show for my 81 yr. old Dad. I create a slide show with PSE 6, save to a CD and play on the TV. No matter what pixel size I resize the photos to they are still too large for the TV screen - not just one TV screen but different ones I try. I loose heads at the top, feet at the bottom, people on the sides. I have been researching but have not found the answer to solve my problem. Anyone have the answer or some suggestions I would be very appreciative. Thanks.
Scrap Grannie

Well, first of all, choose the right resolution and frame-rate...
Are you working in NTSC (30 fps), or PAL (25 fps)...?
Use one of the common DV formats /
if you choose HD, 1080i, then your TV must be able to recognize that format,
otherwise images get cut off...
Format Rectangular Size Square Size
DV NTSC................................................720x480.............................. ...720x540
DV PAL...................................................720x576............................ .....768x576
HDV 720p..................................................NA................................. ....1280x720
HDV 1080i.................................................NA................................. ....1920x1080
Stay with your chosen format through-out your whole project...
(PNG, TIFF or PSD), import those files into your video editor.
Depending on the Operational System (Mac or Windows), one has many choices...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_editing_software
After editing, import those files into your chosen Authoring software for burning,
they will take care of the appropriate compression.
(I would recommend burning to DVD, not CD, one will achieve much better quality...

Slide show photos black

I am trying to create a slide show from the pictures stored in iPhoto, but some of them do not show up in the slide show. Instead, there is a black screen for the three seconds that the photo should be showing. Others from the same library are fine though. Has anyone ever seen this problem and know how to fix it?

I have been having the same problem, and I can't figure out how to fix it. I noticed it is for all photos in landscape that it goes black - for portrait photos it works fine.
Any suggestions would be helpful!

Pixel resolution for slide show photos

Hello all,
What is the best pixel dimensions for doing a slide show to be watched on a hd lcd tv? I just did some at 1366 x 768 that seemed to work pretty well, but maybe the files don't even have to be this big...
Also I have a few photos that really flicker in the slide show...is there a way to eliminate this flicker?
Thanks,
Norm

Hello Tom,
Thanks for the info. My tv that I will be playing the dvd on is 1366 x 768, so my question is what is your reason for making the images 1280x720? Won't this make my images smaller on my tv or do they get resized?
I will try the blur in Photoshop and see if that corrects the flicker problem.
I tried the Flicker filter but I'm not sure if it even got applied to the problem images. I selected the image in the time line and then went up to filter and selected flicker...does this automatically apply when these steps are performed?
Thanks again.
Norm

LR3 Slide show photo orientation - bug or user ignorance???

I am building a slide show in LR3 and some of the file orientation shows up in the slide show incorrectly. For instance, I want the file to show vertical but in slideshow it shows sideways. I have updated the file in Library and created a a Collection for the photos I want in the slideshow... in the collection and in the library the orientation is correct but the slideshow view still shows it sideways.... Not sure if I am doing something wrong or the program is bug... either way its annoying. Any thoughts on how to resolve this?
Cheers,
KD

Missing slide show photos

I just upgraded to PSE7 from PSE5 and converted the catolog ok. A slide show I had just made in 5 has the index photo in the catolog, but comes up with empty photos. The blank frames are there with the time for the slide and the total running time for the show. What happened to the photos?

> Downloaded psedbtool. It works but I can't get the output.log It runs its diagnostic then disappears.
You need to start a command prompt and then type the command in, as described in steps 2-4 of the download instructions linked above . If you simply double-click psedbtool.exe, its window will close immediately after running.
>All the pictures seem to be in the organizer. They just don't come up for the old slide show I did.
What about my question 2 from the previous post? This will indicate whether the problem is just with the slide show itself or with the photos that are included in the slide show.
> I just wonder if it would be easier just to redo the show.
If you catalog has otherwise converted fine, then it may be easiest to redo the show. But the problems with this slide show may indicate other catalog problems with the conversion that could be still lurking.
> I have the one from Ver 5 on CD. Could I copy it back into Ver 7?
No, that wont work. The only way to get a PSE 5 slide show into PSE 7 is to convert the catalog containing the slide show.

Blu-ray DVD shows interlacing when items move across screen

Hi,
I have successfully made the leap from standard to HD DVD's (yay me!). Well, almost successfully. I can create a blu-ray dvd and it plays in a blu-ray player. Everything looks nice and sharp, but when text moves across the screen, I see something that looks like interlacing happening.
Here is how I made my dvds.
I worked in After Effects. The text animations I did there. Most comps are 1920x1080. I have some that are smaller and sized up, but the problem text I am seeing is within the 1920x1080 comps.
I went to Encore and did Adobe Dynamic Link, built my timeline and let Encore 'Build' the dvd image.
The blu-ray settings for transcoding within Encore were 'Automatic' based on the project files, so maybe it's something there?
Thanks in advance.

Stan,
Along with John T's questions and comments, this ARTICLE might also prove useful.

Where do I put my slide show photos

I am working on a slideshow. I do NOT want the photos to be contained in my MobileMe gallery. My host is 1and1. My question is this: do I have to put the folder containing the slideshow photos on 1and1's server, or can I use flickr, etc.
Currently, when I use the following snippet (with MobileMe):
<iframe src="http://www.domainname.com/FolderName/" width="640" height="480" scrolling="no" frameborder="1"></iframe>
I do not get a slideshow. Rather, I get a 640x480 window showing the gallery page.

Its better to have your photos and slideshow assets, if any, uploaded to the root folder on your server.
Using an iFrame code like you are doing will only bring up the photos and the URL to any one will be the same when the files are on the 1 and 1 server....
http://www.domainname.com/foldername/imagetitle.jpg
There are lots of different ways to create slideshows and you would need to let us know what type you wanted....
