Burning a Slideshow to disk using Aperture?

Hi,
I recently bought Aperture 2. I really like it, I just have one question can you take a slideshow created within the program and burn it to DVD for playback in a DVD?
Do I need to export it to idvd or imovie? Any insight into this area would be great.

Nope - but you can do some killer slide shows in Keynote
Seriously - I use Aperture for quick and dirty slideshows, Keynote for serious presentation and another piece of software on another un-named OS for universal DVD slide show distribution.

  • Why do my pictures become distorted when burning to a DVD disk using iDVD?

    I have created a movie/slide show & now I want to burn it to a DVD using the iDVD software.  The movie portion seems to burn correctly, however my slide show pictures appear distorted--black & white or purplish in color.  What do I need to do to correct this problem?

    Sorry, but iDVD is the absolutely best software to assemble and finalize your DVD with its customizable menu and themes options. It is not entry level by any means. I've been using it for years and have produced top quality HD movies and have never had a problem with its output.
    @ Goatboy:
    Having said the above - which app did you use to assemble your slideshow? And what format and size were the individual pictures? From which camera model? iDVD is not the best to put a slideshow together; I use Photo to Movie as they do a much better job. However, no app can improve on the quality of your pictures; for instance, if you enlarged the original size, that can result in a degradation of quality.
    As for the memory: what model/year Mac and how much RAM do you have? Also, how much free hard drive space do you have?

  • Burn dvds in iphoto to use on tv

    I want to burn a slideshow in iphoto using idvd and it is blacked out. I want to be able to put them on the tv.

    First what system are your running and what iPHoto and iDVD versions are you using?
    If you have a new Mac that came with Lion preinstalled you probably don't have iDVD installed.  iDVD has been discontinued by Apple and is no longer being supported.  To get a copy of iDVD you'll need to purchase the boxed iLife 11 disk from Amazon.com: iLife 11.

  • How can I make a slideshow with music and burn it to a disk?

    I need to make a photo slideshow with music and burn it to a disk. I am able to make the slideshow but I cant figure out how to save it or burn it to a disk.

    How do you want to play the slideshow?  On another computer or on a TV set?
    If it's the former export the slideshow as a QT movie file to the desktop and burn that file to a disk with the Finder.
    If you want to create a video DVD of the slideshow so that it can be viewed on a TV set, use the Share ➙ iDVD menu option.  That will export the slideshow into iDVD where you can complete the menu and project design.
    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 and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good and you can then burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • I am trying to find an app or software to burn iMovie slideshow to a dvd.  I have a MacBook Pro with Mavericks.  There are a lot of DVD Creator apps a the App store. Looking for a recommendation of what to use and tips.

    I am trying to find an app or software to burn iMovie 11 slideshow to a dvd.  I have a MacBook Pro with Mavericks.  There are a lot of DVD Creator apps at the App store. Looking for a recommendation of what to use and tips. Thank you.

    I've been using "Burn" for years and it has been the only DVD burning software I have ever used for the mac. I have never needed to look at other apps. Unless you want something that has more bells and whistles such as Roxio's "Toast" : http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/pro/overview.html
    There are thousands of quality free apps out there for the mac that are not part of the App Store. All you have to do is read reviews online, do a little search, the Apple forums are full of recommendations from experienced users that have been here for years...

  • I can't burn a dvd using any method, Idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when i click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac

    I can't burn a dvd using any method, idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when I click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac, or how do I do whatever I need to do to get it working: I have already tried using a lens cleaning cd and also restored my nvram or something i forget what it was called but i restarted my computer holding down  command+optoion+p+r and still nothing???
    Free solutions are the best, although if I have to pay I will, I would prefer to not have to buy an external burner if possible and already know that is an option so please don't give me that answer... thank you for any help you can give

    Unless your iMac is still covered by AppleCare, get an external DVD burner.
    You can get perfectly good ones from Amazon for less than $40.

  • Using Aperture to import from an iPhoto picture disk?

    I saved a large collection of photos from another Mac on iPhoto DVDs that I would like to install a new Mac, but not in the iPhoto library, since I will be using Aperture. How may I most effectively get the photos from the iPhoto disk onto my new Mac in the organization I had on the other Mac? The iPhoto library folders of originals isn't organized the same way it's presented in iPhoto, but I really don't want to have to import into iPhoto, then export onto HD folders and then import into Aperture. Yet, I also don't want simply to copy 5,000 original photo files onto this computer and have to reorganize 7 years of photos by hand again.
    Can Aperture import directly from this DVD? I didn't see how ...
    Thanks!

    Sorry - but no, iTunes hasn't the capability to import/record from line in.
    For that you have to use an application like "CD Spin Doctor" (that's included in Toast) or another similar application.

  • How to get good picture quality on a burned DVD slideshow using IDVD?

    After producing a slideshow on IDVD from either jpg or psd photos, it looked great when I played the project. Picture quality was excellent. When I burned a DVD to share the slideshow with a friend and when I played this on the same computer, it had lost resolution and looks awful. I am using best quality but this made no difference. On a hdtv using a standard player, the quality is mediocre. Is there any way to get a decent picture quality. I have also burned a DVD and CD from the IPhoto album, and the quality is better. IPhoto will not burn a slideshow or at least I do not know how to. Can you produce decent quality DVD using IDVD or is there a better application to produce decent DVD of photo slideshows?

    ....or is there a better application to produce decent DVD of photo slideshows?
    Yes. It's called DVDSP (apple's top of the line DVD Authoring application). It has a much longer learning curve than iDvd and is more $$$ but it does work well. The Help Menu alone is over 640 pages long. However, is this app significantly better than iDvd solely in terms of visual quality?.... No.
    But it does offer many more tools to address visual artifacts on the finished DVD, more audio control, much better control of durations per slide, audio, buttons that work as expected, among other things. (for additional examples of this see chapter 12 of the DVDSP Help Menu / starting on p. 373).
    Short of DVDSP, and much less money, you can also try these 2 third party apps which come highly recommended on this iDvd Forum:
    http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
    http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/overview/
    At the moment most macs do not yet support burning to Blueray (which does offer much better results). Once this technology is more commonplace, then I believe we will see a significant improvement in what you are trying to do above.
    Hope this is helpful but if not just come on back.

  • Using Aperture 3 slideshows on iWeb 09

    Hi - I am trying to use aperture 3 slideshows on iweb instead of flash but the quality is lacking - the sharm movie files are over 30mb so when compressed to around 10mb loses image quality
    see here : http://web.me.com/ruperteden/casasnaareia (click on image)
    the movies are slow to load on Firefox and do not load at all using Google Chrome ?
    Does anybody have a solution to increase image quality keeping files small enough ?
    Steve Jobs if you are reading this please can you come up with a solution quickly or I will have to revert back to Adobe Flash which like you I hate using !
    Thanks in advance !

    OK but the problem I am having is maintaining crisp image quality while compressing QT files of over 30mb generated by Aperture slideshow export ?
    also the movies only really play on Safari - other browsers are clumsy and slow ?
    Can anyone suggest an alternative ?
    here is the site so far : http://web.me.com/ruperteden/casasnaareia

  • Why do I get a permanent wait icon and Basic C notice on the task bar on my XP when I burn disks using iTunes?

    Why do I get a permanent wait icon and Basic C notice on the task bar on my XP when I burn disks using iTunes? How do I get rid of the wait icon when I leave iTunes?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • Using Aperture to create a slideshow why would it not include the captions when burnt to CD?

    I am trying to burn a slideshow to CD but when I do the captions I have included are not shown. Anyone got any ideas what I am doing wrong or not even doing? Any suggestions would be helpfully.

    I am trying to burn a slideshow to CD but when I do the captions I have included are not shown.
    How are you burning the Slideshow to CD? Are you using the "Export" button in the Slideshow view to render a video of the Slideshow, or are you exporting the images of the Slideshow using the "File > Export" command?

  • Can I Burn a Slideshow with Music onto a Disk?

    I have a slide show with music and I want to burn both to a disk to give to friends who have Macs and PCs. Is there a disk that will record both? Is it best to burn from iDVD or Toast 7?

    Sue,
    Most of the time when a PC can't play a DVD, an update of WinDVD needs to be downloaded (provided the PC has a DVD-Rom drive). Most PCs seem to be geared for "business" so multi-media stuff is outdated and forgotten. Or, if the PC can't play a DVD it may be because it only has a CD-Rom drive (as many PCs only do), and in this case it's time to chuck the PC and buy a Mac

  • How do you burn a slideshow to a DVD that will play on DVD players and PC computers?

    I burned a slideshow in Aperture onto a DVD containing about 40 photos with a sound track from iTunes.  The disk will play on my iMac but not on my wife's PC or on two of our DVD players (less than three years old.).  What am I missing in the burning sequence that causes the problem? 

    What Shutttleworth says is the way to go however you might run into one gotcha, iDvd is no longer available if you bought your current machine with Lion on it.
    iDvd use to be part of iLife but is no longer offered as either a seperate download from the App Store or as part of any App Store bundle. If you can still find an iLife boxed set iDvd will be on the DVD in the box. Other then that you'll need to look at thrid party solutions.
    Of course if you upgraded to Lion and had iLife before the upgrade you should have a copy of iDvd.
    good luck

  • How do I create my own favorite template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to templates, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get

    First, how do I create my own favorite theme template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to already existing themes, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get. I just want to use a picture as my DVD cover, and then insert a slideshow. Also, when I try to burn my 8.5gb double sided slideshow, all that burns is the music. It is a large slideshow, a memorial on the life of my now deceased brother. This means a lot to me and to my family, and I am having so much trouble trying to burn it. I have gone into Project View and selected appropriately. The bar shows I have room to burn this DVD, but it does not burn.  I have burned so many DVDs in the past, but this one just will not burn. I am so confused at this point. I will say this is the first 8.5gb I have attempted to create and burn. My specs list a 7.7gb or 4.7gb as operable....but there are no 7.7gb dvds. I had to purchase 8.5gb. Help? What am I doing wrong? I have spent so much time on this, and just cannot figure it out.

    Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor.  The pro version of iMovie.
    Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow.  It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them.  You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
    When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
    Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
    Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Then 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.
    The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version).  Personal preferences showing here.

  • 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.

    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.
