Burning CD of slide shows

Should have saved an email from a year ago because here I go again. Trying to back up a couple slide lectures onto CD before I leave (tomorrow!) just in case. And I cannot get this done. I selected the slide show icon, went to Share menu, Burn Disk is not active. Tried to look in help but didn't get far.
What I REALLY want to do is burn two lectures onto one disk. I would prefer to do it through Toast so I can continue to add to the disk. And what I'm remembering the last time I did this was that I had to do something to make sure the individual shots loaded in the correct order. . . but that exchange was too old for discussions and has been deleted. I am not really interested in turning this into a movie; I want the individual jpgs in order. It shouldn't be this difficult.
Any help available from someone on this? I promise I'll keep the notes on doing it this time so I don't have to bother you again. I am using iPhoto 5 and Tiger. Thanks

This tip works to burn a CD of a slide show, but for me it still does not solve the problem. On reading the CD in another Mac (I'm trying to copy a slideshow from one Mac to another, or at worst, be able to show a slideshow from CD in a Mac) I can import the pictures into iPhoto, but they are not imported as a slideshow, and the comments, titles, etc. are all absent, and the pictures are in their original date order, not in their order in the slide show. Not only that, but the last 3 images would not copy, producing the spinning beach ball of death; I eventually had for force-quit iPhoto, and now the CD cannot be ejected - not by pressing eject, not by restarting and pressing the trackpad button, not even by using Open Firmware. So I'm left with the original problem - how to copy a slideshow from one Mac to another (I can't believe it can't be done) - and a new one - how to eject a CD! Very frustrating. Any suggestions+

  • How to burn an iPhoto slide show to a DVD

    is it possible to burn an iPhoto slide show to a dvd ?

    Sure:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/9.0/en/phtf677be44.html
    I use the advanced settings and export in DV format, 640x480.
    Save the exported slideshow in your "movies" folder.
    Start up iDVD and you can see this slideshow in your media.

  • How to burn decent resolution slide show onto DVD ?

    First of all I'm a newbie to this (PS8 Elements and Premier). I have a slide show with music in "Slide Show Editor". When I view this slide show in 'Full Screen Preview" I see a decent resolution but when I burn the slide show onto a DVD the resolution sucks if it's shown in "Full Screen". ( the slide show looks decent if shown in a smaller screen). I took the pictures with a 7 mega pixel camera. Another thing that happens when viewing "Full Screen" in the burned DVD is the text (if it fills the whole screen) some text is hidden around the borders.I burn the DVD in the Premier program.

    Thanks for your reply. I'll try what you typed but the
    hard part will be figuring how .

  • Burning a DVD slide show on Premiere Elements 8.0

    I am trying to burn a slide show on Premiere Elements 8, but when I try to save the slide show before burning my computer crashes.  I've got Windows 7.  My understanding is that Premiere Elements 7 and Photoshop Elements 7 do not work with Windows 7. I had both of those programs, and got Premiere and Elements 8 to remedy the problem to no avail.  My computer still won't save the slide show.  Any hints?  Thanks.

    As per my understanding, you created a slideshow in PSE organizer and now want to burn into DVD using Output dialog which launches PRE...
    Which application crashes and at which step??
    Through PSE you can output the video into PDF or Video...

  • IDVD said it burned the whole slide show, but it didn't.

    I burned an iDVD slideshow project, and it said it was burned successfully, but when I put it in my DVD player it kept looping the first 2 min. of the slide show. There seems to be nothing else there. I did have to archive my project and transfer it to my friend's PowerBook because my doesn't have a superdrive. Would this have affect it anything? The slideshow is only 9 min. long! Help!
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Yes, there are 159 slides.
    Yup, that's what I thought. MANY DVD players don't like the 'hack' Apple made in iDVD 6 to allow more than 99 slides in a slideshow and reset or drop the music after 99 images.
    The only sure way to create a slideshow of over 99 images that will play in all DVD players, is to create the slideshow as a movie in iPhoto or iMovie.
    Many of us like FotoMagico or Photo to Movie better than iMovie for making slideshows. (I use FotoMagico.)

  • Burning an iPhoto slide show to a DVD

    I have created a slideshow using iPhoto but don't know how to burn it on to a DVD. Can anyone explain how to do this? Thanks

    AHH a fellow sufferer. I was pulling my hair out about this finally with help from my computer literate son and the apple genius bar figured how how to do this.
    1.go to IDVD. Pick a theme (actually this is a menu and only shows when your dvd opens until you click a "my slideshow button on the menu page. Some music will also be playing. Ignore this for now) If you want one of your photos or more to show in the first opening panel, just go to media, There you will find all your iPhotos. PIck an album or event. PIck a simple theme like the lotus flower and your photo will override it totally.Drag one photo to the Theme box. You can limit how long the theme panel shows also by going to the little ion the left lower next to the + click and you will see various things that you can do like decrease loop time and eliminate "intro and outro"?? Can't give you any advice on this but I usually shorten the loop time.
    2.Then go to the lower left "+" sign and it will let you drag in a slideshow you have made in iPhoto. If you note directly below the middle of the screen on the left there is a diagram, sort of an algorhythm. showing three squares. in the middle you will see two arrows indicating revolutions and on the right a dotted edge small box. Ignore these.(for now anyway).Go to your iPhotos shown under media (on the lower right there are buttons for Themes, buttons and media. Click on media and you will see all your iphotos under photos and all your iTunes under audio. Arrange the order of the photos and then Drag the photos you want onto the panel which says slideshow. Presto, there you are. If you have given titles to your photos they can be displayed and you can affect the type, etc. Double Click on the slideshow panel, you will see thumbnails with the .cmg or.jpeg annotations. Click on the Settings GEar and you will see the options to show titles. (The final option"duck audio.." can apparently lower audio(??)I didn't notice any difference
    3. On to Audio. go to the audio files select what you want to play and highlight it and drag it anywhere onto the slideshow/ You will know it is there by an ITunes speaker showing up in the lower panel YOu can hit transitions to chose how that works, does not have ken burns which I dislike because it truncates my photos. Select slideshow speed. 3 secs is too short with titles. Click return.
    4. you will be returned to the screen with the Theme box, the slideshow box on its right and a gray box on the left. for a start which will avoid the theme opener, drag the slideshow box over to the left box, you will now have two slideshow boxes. This usually avoids the theme screen entirely when your disc plays. Now you can preview and burn.
    5. You can also make an iPhoto slideshow complete with music, other formats transitions and music and save it as a Quicktime movie to your desktop. Then when you hit the "+" button on the left click on add movie and drag it from your desktop onto the little box next to the theme box (the same place you dragged your slideshow or photos)
    6. Finally the approved way per applestore genius bar, use iMovie. it will show up your iphotos in the media box. Drag them into the upper bar. There is also a media box, which has your iTunes. drag the ones you want onto the lower box. For more specific tunes for certain groups of photos you just drag the tunes under the photos, truncating the music as you wish with your cursor. You can also add titles under your photos but iMovie will not transfer the titles you may have given photos in iPhoto, so I did not use this method, already having gone to all the work of titling my iPHotos
    After previewing, hit the burn button, it can take some time to set up, but if you burn several discs the repeat burn time is much shortened.
    HOpe this helps, if yo have more questions I'd be happy to helpl if I can. forgive the typos please

  • Won't burn movie with slide show

    I am having trouble burning the disc when I add a slideshow directly into iDVD. Everything goes well until it gets to the burn stage and then I keep getting the message:

  • Burning slide show to dvd

    How do i burn my photo slide show i created in i-movie to a DVD? i tried doing from idvd but it wont play on my pc?

    I recommend you study the iDVD tutorials from Apple.
    If you feel like you know what you are doing and you have followed the tutorials, you may have a failing DVD drive. Call Apple for help getting the DVD drive repaired.
    iDVD tutorials should be available in iDVD under Help menu.

  • How to burn a slide show DVD in Elements 11?  Can only find how to burn a Video CD, which doesn't help.

    I'm trying to burn a DVD slide show in Elements 11, but can find only how to burn a Video CD.  Is burning a DVD possible in 11?

    Do you know if it is Vista Home Premium?
    If yes or if you are not sure, look for Windows DVD Maker,
    On my Vista Home Premium laptop whe I click on "All Pprograms", within the list of programs I see "Windows DVD Maker" listed as a program.
    If you have this program then my suggestion is to use the PSE slide show editor to Output a file to your hard disk
    (use the
    -- the "Save to a File"  instead of the "Burn to a Disc"
    and
    -- the "Movie File - .wmv"
    and for slide size choose:
    DVD-NTSC if in USA
    or DVD-PAL if in Europe or other PAL TV country
    Save the wmv file in a hard drive folder where it will be convenient for you to reference for later use in the Windows DVD Maker program.
    Once this wmv file has been successfully created, you can play it back with Windows Media Player to verify that you like its contents.
    Your next step will be to use the Windows DVD Maker program to write the formats of movie files required for the TV DVD player playback to the DVD disc. I recommend closing Photoshop Elements and then open Windows DVD Maker from the Windows Start menu list.
    Windows DVD Maker is a "follow the instructions on the screen" program.
    However, one point of confusion is how to add the PSE created slide show to DVD Maker program.
    The answer is that you use that .wmv file (from the PSE slide show editor) -- it is now in a video format and is a "video". So you can follow the onscreen directions to add video to DVD Maker.
    Note 1: I recommended closing PSE before starting the Windows DVD Maker in order to conserve your PC system resources. It is probably not absolutely necessary.
    Note 2: You could also produce the DVD for TV playback by adding Adobe Premiere Elements to your computer.  However just for the purpose of making the DVD from your slideshow I anticipate that using Windows DVD Maker will be simpler and faster.
    Note 3: I recommend using a DVD-R disc. What brand of discs do you have?

  • How to burn slide show to Blu-ray DVD ?

    I've burned a slide show with music to a regular DVD but it comes out with poor resolution when blowing up to full screen. When I try to burn same to a Blu-ray DVD I can't because it burns at about 20 fps ( which I don't need ) and takes too much memory ....about 4 Gig !

    Photoshop Elements does not do the burn of a slide show to a DVD disc or to Blu-ray disc: Photoshop Elements only burns the VERY low resolution VCD format to a CD disc. The DVD formats are created by the Adobe Premiere Elements software which perhaps you purchased in; a bundle with Photopshop Elements.
    Premiere Elements has a separate forum at
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere_elements
    so that is where you will find people who can help with questions about Blu-ray and standard def video DVDs
    When you post on that forum, I recommend that you include which version of the Adobe software you are running, which version of Windows, and whether you are doing your playback of the slide show at full screen on a computer or using a TV DVD player. Also if doing playback on a computer include what software are you using for playback at full screen and what is the resolution of that screen ?

  • Ken Burns for slide shows?

    Why isn't there a Ken Burns affect for slide shows?  This should have been in Lightroom 3!

    You're right.

  • Exporting slide show from iPhoto to QT raises contrast and darkens images?

    I have been using iPhoto to create slide shows (with transitions) which I then save as QuickTime (.mov) files. I add soundtracks to the QT.mov file in QuickTime Pro and burn the finished slide show to CD's for my friends and coworkers.
    The original photographic image files come from several sources; mostly a digital camera, but often scanned color slides (from the dim, distant past). All of the images have been (painstakingly!) corrected in PhotoShop, and saved as finished size Jpeg files.
    When I import the images into iPhoto, edit and arrange them in a folder and preview the show as a slideshow in iPhoto, the images still look perfect.
    When I save the show by exporting it to QuickTime, all of the images get darkened and the image contrast increased.
    This is making me nuts.
    To quantify the unwanted "enhancement" that iPhoto seems to be applying to my images, I experimented in PhotoShop; I can make the original (correct) image match the "QT enhanced" image by decreasing the "Lightness" slider by -8 to -12, and increasing the "Contrast" slider by +11 (in whatever units PhotoShop sliders are calibrated).
    The resulting change in the images is infuriating: the darkening increases the color saturation and blocks up the shadow details so that many images are unusable.. black skin tones, for example, become a dark red/brown color with an unnatural gradation from light to dark.
    Further experimentation using IDVD and QuickTime slide shows (without transitions) made from sequencial files directly in QT seem to indicate that the problem is not in QuickTime itself, but rather in the transition from iPhoto to QuickTime when I export the finished folder as a slide show.
    It seems like iPhoto is "enhancing" or "tweaking" the images as it exports them to QuickTime: It adds contrast and reduces brightness, both of which might serve to add "snappiness" to a lot of generic snapshots that people shoot, but my images have already been fixed (thank you) and really don't need anyone's generic "tweak"
    Does anyone know what it's doing, and more importantly to me, how do I turn the damned thing off?
    G5 dual 2.3Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Terabytes of disc space.

    iPhoto can make two different types of slide show movies. It would help to know which you're making.
    One is made via the File/Export to QuickTime movie and makes a 4 track file with a simple fade effect. These use the Photo-JPEG codec.
    The other is a 30 fps "video" using H.264 video codec via the "Share" menu.
    A third method (rarely used) is to Export to iDVD. This makes an absurdly high data rate MPEG-4 video. This is also found under the Share menu.
    The MPEG-4 video codec also includes an "automatic" gamma correction feature which compensates for the gammas difference between Mac's and PC's.
    Try one export to iDVD. Include your audio track prior but use a high quality (.aiff) sound file. No need to actually "burn" the DVD. You can even close iDVD after it opens. You'll find the new movie in your Users Movie folder.
    Open it with QT Pro and export to a new .mov file. Adjust the data rate to something more reasonable and add some audio compression.
    If the colors still look too dark you can use the built in Filters in the Export dialog. You can adjust B&C or HSL or even use ColorSync Profiles that can help correct the image quality (if needed).

  • VCD slide show

    Using Elements 4 in win I get pretty alful results when burning a VCD slide show to a CD. It is really slow, whole process takes almost 20 seconds per slide to process and burn and video quality is poor. I can export the same picture file to ProShow Gold, use their transistions and burn a VCD in about 5 seconds per slide. Picture quality is also about 4 times better. Is this just the way it is, or is there a better way to get a disk that shows both on PC and TV. JPEG files work great but no transistions.........roy barker

    Richard,
    >How about creating DVD (as opposed to VCD) slide shows in Elements 4, are they ok or do they have the same problems?
    You can not burn a slide show to a DVD for playing on your TV using Photoshop Elements 4.
    1) The following techdoc describes the possible interfaces to make the DVD from Adobe Premiere Elements
    http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/330734.html
    techdoc says PSE 3, but I believe it is the same for PSE 4.
    2) You can save the slide show within PSE 4, as a WMV file and then use other software to author the DVD (encode as MPEG2 format and build folder structure required for TV DVD players). For example, My DVD player came with a limited version of Sonic MyDVD and I have made a TV playable DVD using this process. (Of course, you can do this same process using PSE 3.)
    General comments:
    Any time you save the slide show first as a WMV file and then separately make the MPEG2 DVD, there is some degradation of the image quality. So in the above sequences, this is only this avoided by doing the Send to Premiere Elements command. However, when doing a slide show (video) of family snapshots, you may still be OK on quality with the WMV then DVD steps and it will be significantly better than a VCD from PSE 4.
    Purchasing PSE 4 for the purpose of making slide shows has disappointed many people. Its slide show functions are enhanced over PSE 3, but as I mentioned there is still no DVD burning in PSE. Spending your money on a separate slide show program might be a more cost effective choice if your top priority is slide shows. If you are purchasing PSE 4 for other reasons, then I suggest experimenting.
    If you consider purchasing Premiere Elements, be sure to check the hardware and software requirements very, very, very carefully. You need Windows XP as a starter, but the processor requirements are also significantly higher.

  • This is my first time using iphoto, I am trying to make a slide show that I can then burn to a dvd. The slide show is complete, but I'm not sure where to go now. Can I burn the slide show from iphoto or do I have to export to imovie or idvd?

    I have completed the slide show i am making, but not sure what to do now. I want to burn it to a dvd, but not sure if i can do that from iphoto or do i need to export to imovie or idvd? If i need to export, will iphoto save a copy in iphoto? This may be really stupid, but I don't see an obvious way to save my slide show in iphoto. Please Help!

    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.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality 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.
    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 retailer 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.
    NOTE:  If you're running iPhoto 9.5 the export options will be different.

  • How do I make sure my music will play when I burn a copy of a slide show?

    How do I make sure my music will be included when I burn a copy of a slide show.  I have made many many slide shows over the years with the music in perfect sync to the slides.  I recently updated my iMac to OS 7.  I did not want to do it because I heard it created issues with iPhoto. But because I had updated my iPhone and my iPad, and although I don't like OS 7 (the first time  I have not liked an upgrade)  I thought I could figure out how to solve problems/ differences.  Well, this has me stumped.  It plays perfectly on my iMac, but when I burned a copy to share with friends, the music did not burn or transfer.  Does anyone have any ideas why this does not work, and what I have to do to ensure that the music I selected and added to the slide show using the settings did not burn along with the iPhoto slide show?
    Mairzy

      I recently updated my iMac to OS 7
    What is really your MacOS X version? iOS 7 is the operating system for iPhone, iPad, iPod.
    But what versions are you using on your iMac? Have you upgraded to Mavericks, MacOS X 10.9.x and iPhoto 9.5.1, or are you using an earlier version?
    It plays perfectly on my iMac, but when I burned a copy to share with friends, the music did not burn or transfer.
    How did you export the slideshow and burn the DVD?
    To have the music play along with the slideshow, you need to export your Slideshow project as a video file - use the "Export" button below the Slideshow window and select a format.
    Check, if the exported video does play well and the audio is present.
    Then burn a video DVD using iDVD or Toast, or a similar program to burn video DVDs,  see:
