Burning Slideshow problem

Why do pics I burn onto CDs from iPhoto albums not appear in the same order on the CD as in original albums - so making carefully prepared 'slideshows' a disaster ?
I'm running iPhoto 2.0.1

Peter and Others,
Belatedly I've come back to this task, and following Peter's advice now struck a new problem.
When I 'File Export' an album to a Desktop Folder (selecting 'use album name') I get some images appearing as JPEG files and some as Document files - and only the JPEGS can be opened, and show as normal photos.
This seems to happen whether I have selected Format 'Original' or JPG in the 'Export Photos' window.
The originals are of course all JPGs - some exactly as downloaded from my camera, others have been through PhotoStudio software for manipulations, but this seems unconnected with which export as JPGs and which as Documents.
What's going on ?
Regret I seem to be no closer to getting a whole album burnt to a CD in the correct order to run as a Slideshow on a friend's PC - which I had hoped to do tomorrow.
Help please.

Making Ken Burns Slideshows that fit screen

I like the Ken Burns effect, and I've used it on my first three Slideshows; however, I need some tips on making the images fit the screen. Most of the time, there is no problem, but with too many images, the person's face is scanted, and that's the most important part. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against knees, hips and laps, it's just that I want the viewer to see the FACE. Also, sometimes the image has writing that is important--to me but not to the Ken Burns effect. How can I limit or focus the effect so that things I consider to be important are not negected. I might add that I now remember that I didn't use the effect on my third Slideshow because of the problems I've outlined.

In the Settings for the Ken Burns slideshow you can choose a start and end point for the effect - in other words decide where is pans from and to.
But that said, it's pretty basic. Other apps have more fine control and might be worth checking out.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie, on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price: PhotoPresenter $29
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Pro X $299
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

How to burn slideshow to dvd

How burn slideshow from aperture to dvd

Have you already created a slideshow in Aperture (File > New > Slideshow)? Then use the "Export" button of the upper right corner to render the slideshow as a video file. Set the "Export for" pop-up menu to the format you need for the device where you want to watch the slideshow.
Once you have the video, you can either use the Finder to burn a data DVD from it (but that cannot be played in a DVD player) or use burn software to create a video DVD, that you can play in a DVD player. You will need special software to do this (Burn, iDVD), see this user tip for options:

Ken Burns Slideshow missplaces support files

Any ideas why the Ken Burns Slideshow extension is placing the framework, images and slideshow folders under C|/Users/Robert/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS4/en_US/Configuration/Temp/Assets/eam76D9.tmp/
And even once I move the support files into my site root and correct the links in the doc's head it still doesn't show in the page.
First, I would like to know what can be done to fix it and second I would like to know if anyone else experiences this same glitch. I was thinking of teaching this as an extension to DW in my classes, but not if it is buggy.
Thanks

Alright, I was a bit too eager to test the Ken Burns Slideshow so I had created a new page and hadn't saved it yet when I inserted the slideshow. That is why the files were misplaced. Interestingly, even after I saved the file, the support files remained in the wrong place so wouldn't work. All I had to do was create a new page, save it and THEN insert the slideshow and voila, it worked just fine, inserting the propper support files in the propper place.

New screen from Apple in my iMac 24", and burn-in problems already?

Is there an engineering or manufacturing problem with the 24" iMac screens?
My last screen was replaced under warranty a month ago because of dimming/banding problems. It also had burn-in issues from early on, but I lived with them. However, I didn't expect a brand new screen to have such severe burn-in problems right from the start.
Here's what Apple says: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2807 . In summary, they tell you that your problem is leaving images/text in the same place too long. Duh! But interestingly enough, I don't have the same burn-in problems on my PC laptop or cheap HP external monitor.
I spend hours at a time doing development, and often I'll have an IDE open that has a source tree on a left panel. That widget of text and icons won't change much, and I won't be moving my IDE window around because I have it maximized. It is a normal pattern of use that I can't really avoid.
Is this also a problem on the Apple external monitors? What about on their laptops? Must I move to a Mini with a Dell monitor? Are iMacs only intended for lightweight users that spend an hour or two each day shuffling windows around and watching TV?

In addition to my (now archived) thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1979518&tstart=0
I just had my screen changed under apple care. Excellent option, happy I got it, no hassle, but took three weeks to order and replace the display at the service center. It seems to be a known issue with numerous iMacs, to my surprise also with the latest models, and I have seen this problem on quite a number of iMacs, all over the world, only on the alu models. Though I cannot say for sure what the problem is, I have now installed smcFanControl to increase the minimum speed of the on board fans. Also, as I was suggested by the apple technician, have a screen saver for a few minutes before turning off the display (Energy Saver) to prevent any possible burn ins, (while I remain convinced this is not my problem).
Keeping my fingers crossed my problem will not re-appear, or that it WILL re-appear before the end of the 3 year apple care.

I click on the file - under "Preview" there is no "Burn" to select. New Lion comes with imovie and iphoto but can't find way to burn family slideshow (pdf) to disk. Slideshow sent to me - is already set up. Have read Apple gave up on iDVD. How do they expect one to burn disk for family?

How can I work through a Burn DVD problem?

In a perfect world, you could put together a project out of any media, click the Share tab and burn it to a disk. Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons – some related to Premiere Elements, most related to operating system drivers or program conflicts, this sometimes doesn’t go as smoothly as it should.
The simplest solution is to break the process down into its elements and then troubleshoot each element individually.
There are three main reasons for a problem burning a DVD or BluRay disc: challenging source video (including photos that are larger than the recommended 1000x750 pixels in size); interfacing issues with your disc burner (often the result of a program like Nero not sharing the burner with other programs); and lack of computer resources (namely lack of available scratch disk space on your hard drive). This workaround eliminates most Burn Disc problems. And those it doesn’t eliminate, it at least helps you isolate where the problem is occurring.
1. Burn to a folder rather than directly to a disc. Select this option from Share/Output/Disc. This eliminates the possibility that other disk burning software is interfering with communication with your computer’s burner. Once the disk files are created, you can use your computer’s burner software to burn the VIDEO_TS folder and its contents to a disk.
If this doesn’t work, it could be that your computer lacks the necessary resources, as discussed below.
2. Clear space on and defragment your hard drive. A one-hour video can require up to 50 gigabytes of free, defragmented space on your hard drive to render and process (depending on your source files). Even a “pure” AVI project can require 20-30 gigabytes of space.
Clear off your computer and regularly defragment it, per Maintain Your Computer, above, and you’ll reduce the likelihood of this being an issue – assuming you’ve got an adequately powered computer and an adequately large hard drive in the first place.

Hi
What I would do is start a new project i.e. XXXXXX Final Cut.
Then I would import the finished AVI file into the project and burn it to DVD.
I have also found that PE is sensitive to the files being fragmented.
When I have a project in the works I defragment the drive or the folders that the project is before proceeding.
This has actually made the difference between whether it would work or not on some projects.
I also shut down and restart the program just before burning the project to disk, to clear out any thing using resources.
I use Defraggler to defrag my files it's free and works really well.
And you can chose to defrag what you want or the whole drive.
I run it several times a day when I'm working on big files.

Please help with slideshow problems!

Am using Photoshop Elements 8 and trying to make a slideshow. Have tried 4 times now and keep ending up with same problem, cannot reopen project to continue edititing. Won't show up in orginizer and when I find on harddrive and try to open get message " wmv file cannot be opened". How can I save a
slideshow inprogress and be able to reopen and continue to edit and make slideshow? I want to thank anyone who can help me with this in advance as I
have gotten so frustrated that I want to just scream.
Thanks

Thanks for the help, thought I had done so but maybe not. Anyway will have another go at it, now may I ask another
question? I am trying to add audio to slideshow. I have some music I purchased thru amazon as mp3 files but I get
message no codec and when I try to add wmv I get same message. What type of file do I need and how can I add
multiple songs to one slideshow. I have one little wmv file that will go in, but it just replicates itself multiple times until
it fills slide show.
Thanks again, sorry to be a bother, but this thing is driving this old man crazy.

Subject: Please help with slideshow problems!
You need to save the slideshow project in order to be able to go back later and make changes or additions to an existing slideshow . The wmv file is a final output format.
Now you are most probably using only the Output command: that is what makes the wmv file.
You should also do the Save Project command. (and I make it a practice to do the Save Project command before I do the Output command).
If you look at the Elements Organizer 8 Help, there is a topic on "Create a slide show".
-- Very close to the beginning of that topic is a screen shot of the Sldie Show Editor screen,
-- The bar below the usual menu bar is labeled with a "B" and called the Shortcuts bar.
-- The 1st entry on that Shortcuts bar is "Save Project"
It is the Save Project command that saves the information about which photos, audio, etc you placed in that specific slide show so that you can come back again to do subsequent editing. Save each Project with a unique name.
After completing the Save Project command, you shoud see an "icon" in the Organizer for that slide show.
Note: you must also keep the photo files and audio files which you have used in this slide show: you can't delete them because the project file does NOT contain a copy of the photos, it only has the identification and folder location of the photo and audio files.

Slideshow problems - dissolve transition - disabling Ken (sodding) Burns

After using iphoto4 for awhile, I had some problems with itunes and slideshows that I couldn't resolve. Finding a few bucks I decided to upgrade to iphoto 6 - big, big mistake. I use duplicates of my photos, then add or delete layers in photoshop, bringing in nice changes - usually names - by dissolving from one to the next. It worked very well. The photos now darken, even though I disabled/enabled/disabled the colorsync profile addition, and the dissolve from one slide to the next appears to darken, then lighten showing a very obvious and crude recreation of what was a seamless change in iphoto 4.
In addition, there is apparently no way to globally change preferences to the way slideshows are set up. Every slide show has to have the same changes made to the settings - disable Ken (%$#@#$) Burns - change the times and whatever the color sync problem is.
Does anyone know how these problems can be resolved?
Can iphoto 4 still be purchased? Does anyone want to exchange an iphoto 4 install disc for my iphoto 6 disc?

I was surfing cnet.com last night and ran into this link for iPhoto 4.0.3...
<imho> iDVD is much better at creating slideshows, a couple of limitations but the end result is often more accpetable...

Problem burning slideshow to DVD

I made my first attempt with my new photo shop Elements 11 and adobe Premier, to burn a slideshow using photos and music. I was able to burn it with no difficulty but some of my photos had been turned sideways on the finished disc. They were not this way on the slideshow. How can I correct this for a reburn?

Windows Only
I find its best to select a batch of images in Organizer and then click Create >> Slideshow.
You can also add captions, if all the photos already have them.
Set slide duration, transition type/duration and click OK. You can also add pan and zoom effects whilst in the project.
You can preview your slide show when the Slideshow Editor opens. Then click Output >> Edit With Premiere Elements. You will be prompted to save your PSE project - click yes.
A new project will open in PRE and you can add or change your soundtrack, fade the music on the end frame plus any other effects you may want.
The output gets sent as a single clip. To review individual slides right-click on the clip in the timeline (usually Video 1) and choose Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow.
You can now preview your slideshow again or render it first (for best quality) and then preview to make sure all the slides are correct. If not click on individual frames to adjust.
When you are happy click Publish+Share and choose disk.
Insert your DVD and click the rescan button until the disk drive is recognized.
Choose a pre-set. I always uncheck the box Fit Contents to Available Space. I can then move the slider up to highest quality.
Then click Burn and wait whilst the disk is written and finalized.
Good Luck.

Error with burning slideshow presentation to dvd

i'm currently trying to make a dvd of my many pictures taken from vacation. when i take and export my slideshow from iphoto into idvd i can make all my menus and such just fine. when i got to burn i put my disc in and it renders all my menus and photos and then i always end up with an error at the end. either for the media or multiplexing and what not.
i am using a fairly old powermac..and a 3rd party burner. but the powermac uses the burner just fine for cds and such outta itunes. and the slow speed of the computer doesn't seem to affect it that much just in the time it takes for the whole process.
i've read plenty about making a .img file of the project and then burn that to dvd using toast or disk utility. the only problem with that is that i don't have toast...and disk utility wont allow me to play my dvd in my player...so
i'm curious if my computer is just to slow for this? or if i'm doing something wrong in idvd to make it not work? (i'm a total newbie to making dvds) or if there is some kidna other error? and is there a free alternative to toast?

Hello Alarkin,
is there a free alternative to toast?
Yes, it's Disk Utility - just follow this procedure:
1. create the disk image in iDVD
2. double-click the resulting .img file to "mount" it. Next launch DVD Player to view your DVD .... if everything is fine, close DVD Player and eject the virtual disk.
3. Open Disk Utility and drag the disk image into the left hand pane, then hit burn.
Note: Set the burn speed to 2x or even 1x. Most burn errors are the result of high burn speeds. Also use only high quality DVD-R media (e.g. Verbatim)
hope this helps

Low resolution when burning slideshow?

I have created a slideshow using iPhoto. It looks great when I hit the play button. But when I burn it to a CD and then play it (either on the same computer or a different computer) the quality of the photographs noticeably diminishes.
I can't find any settings to ensure that the CD version, played through Quicktime, is as sharp as the iPhoto preview or play version.
Any suggestions? (I've had the exact same problem when using iDVD: good quality in preview; poor quality when the project is burned to a DVD)

For the iDVD project, I dragged the photos from iPhoto into iDVD.
From the iPhoto Window? Or from the iPhoto Library Folder?
I wonder if, inadvertently, you're getting the thumbnails that iPhoto uses for display by doing it that way.
From the iDVD Help:
To create a slideshow in iDVD:
Click Media to open the Media pane, then click Photos to display your iPhoto albums.
Drag an album to the DVD menu. A button is created that links to the images. The button has the name of your iPhoto album and automatically displays the first slide in the slideshow.
There's more... but that's the basics of how they recommend it's done. Be interesting to see if quality improves doing it that way.

Slideshow problems iDVD '08

I just installed iDVD '08 and am trying a very short, test slideshow with video clips and stills. It plays fine in preview. But after burning either a DVD or disc image, some slides do not appear when advancing, and some movies (I have tried .avi and .mov) have audio that is out of synch; only the first video plays its audio in synch. I have the show set to manual advance with no transitions. There are only 8 slides and three video clips about 10 seconds each.
Any advice?

Peter,
Slides in iDVD created slideshows are treated as Chapters. The DVD specification limits a Track (a slideshow is a Track) to 99 Chapters. Prior to iDVD 6, all iDVD created slideshows were limited to 99 images. Apple created something of a hack starting with iDVD 6 that made it possible to link together Tracks to create longer slideshows. The problem is, many/most set top DVD players don't like the hack and after the 99th image will pause/quit/drop the audio altogether/ship segments of audio (any or all of those). It isn't something Apple can change. Sorry.
The ONLY way to create a DVD slideshow with none of these problems is to create it as a movie in iPhoto or iMovie (or Photo to Movie or FotoMagico (that I use)).
