Burning the slide show in iphoto

Hi there
I probably am being stupid but here goes. The slide shows you can make very quickly in iphoto are really really good and quick and simple to edit and select music etc. Is there any way you can burn it from there.

Yes. While in the slideshow mode use the File ➙ Export ➙ Slideshow menu option. In the Slideshow window select the movie size you want:
Click to view full size
This will result in a Quicktime movie file of your slideshow. Be aware, however, that some have had problems with adding music tracks to the slideshow and getting the tracks added to the QT file as it was in iPhoto. If you run into the same problem you can use Join Together to join selected iTunes tracks into a single new AAC file which you can use in the slideshow instead of the multiple tracks.

  • 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.

  • I am using using IDVD to create slide shows.  When viewed on my computer the pictures are clear and of high quality.  When I burn the slide show to a disk and play it back, the pictures are blurry and of poor quality.

    I am using IDVD to create slide shows.  When viewed on my computer, the pictures are clear and of high quality.  When I burn the slide show to a disk and play it back, the pictures are blury and of poor quality.  Is there a setting that controls the quality of the burn and if there is, where do I find it?  Thank you.

    The Mac software - iPhoto, iMovie, and iDVD are not the best with the Ken Burns effect (zoom in/out effect), so you might want to minimize that effect; also, if your subjects are wearing stripes for instance, that will have an effect if you zoom. There is better software available for slideshows; however, I do not know of any that is free (and does a good job). I've used Photo to Movie for some time; it does a fine job even in HD, but you have to pay for it. I use iDVD extensively, but only to add a menu, theme, special effects, etc. and then to burn it.

  • I am using IDVD to make slide shows.  The pictures are clear and of good quality.  When I burn the slide show to a disk, the pictures are blurry and of poor quality.  Is there a setting for quality of picture in burning a disk?

    I am using IDVD to make slide shows.  The pictures are clear and of high quality when viewed on my computer.  When I burn the slide show to a disk, the pictures are blury and of poor quality.  Is there a setting adjustment to correct this problem?

    I would re-post in the iDVD forum.  You are likely to get a faster answer there.  Good luck.

  • Burning a slide show on DVD

    I've created a slide show in iPhoto using a song which plays 2 1/2 times. When I try to burn the slide show on to a DVD It only plays the song once and stops. How do I burn the slide show at its full length?

    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...

  • How can I burn a slide show to a dvd?

    I have tried, every way, possible to burn a slide show with music to a dvd and I did so successfully except that it will only play in a play station 3 unit and not correctly play on any computer or dvd player. I have tried several ways:
    -Creating it as an image saving it to my desktop and burning it from disk utilities
    -Creating it in iDVD and burning it that way
    I AM using a DVD-R
    So, again it will play in the playstation but not on dvd players
    WHAT CAN I DO??
    When I burned it using the whole image thing & disc utilities, it burned the slide show correctly but NO music. I would really appreciate your help

    Sorry, was trying to get all of these.

    Have used large format, but using the 'burn' software, I am not getting seamless video quality on DVD even though I am burning at 2* speed. Any ideas? Do I need better software? Or is there a problem with the SuperDrive?

  • How can I change the order of photos in iPhoto so I can create the slide show I want?

    How to change the order of photos in iPhoto on my iPad, so I can create the slide show I want.

    Here's what I did to generate a slide show with Ken Burns effect on the iPad...with the exact same slide order I created on the iMac.  I have iOS 5.5 and iPhoto App on New iPad, and iPhoto 11 on iMac.
    In iPhoto for the Mac, create a new Album and give it the name of your Slide Show. Drag or import the photos you want into the album.  Rearrange the order of the album photos as desired. Do this by selecting Manual Sort under View/Sort Photos or simply start dragging thumbnails to the places you want them (the sort method will automatically change to Manual). 
    When you have the order you want, shut down iPhoto on the Mac to make sure iPhoto's database gets updated with the new photos and their order. 
    Restart iPhoto and go to File/Export on the top menu.  Select File Export at the top left of the Export window. Set JPEG quality to Max, Size to Full Size, and File Name to Album Name and Number.  Set Subfolder Format to None.
    Click Export to bring up what looks like the Finder.  Create an empty folder on your hard drive under Pictures and give it the name of your slide show. Click on the new folder and then click OK at the bottom right of the Finder-like window.  The new folder will contain JPEG files with file names in the form, Album Name - 001.jpeg, Album Name - 002.jpeg, etc.  There will also be an iPOD Photo Cache folder.  Click at the top of the Name column to order files by file name.  001 will be your first slide, 002 your second, etc.
    Now start up iTunes. You are going to force the Mac to sync these new photos with the iPad.  Click on your iPad device in the list at the left.  Now click on the Photo button at top right. Make sure the Sync Photos check box at top is checked, then select Choose Folder... from the list at right.  In the Finder-like window that opens, select the folder where your slides are.  Make sure that All Folders is checked, then select Open at the bottom right.
    Now click Sync at bottom right.  The slides will be copied to your iPad.  Both the Photos app and the iPhoto app will properly handle the slide order, and the Ken Burns effect is available using the iPhoto app.
    I ran across this problem in preparing a Ken Burns slide show for a wedding.  Drove me nuts for a week why the order changes when syncing an iPhoto album from iMac to iPad.  But this worked and gave me several options.  I plan to use the digital AV adapter for iPad and show slides on a large screen TV using HDMI connection from iPad to TV.  TV essentially acts as an external monitor for the iPad.
    Hope this helps!

  • Why are images distorted when burning a slide show to iDVD from iPhoto?

    I have created a slide show in iPhoto and wanted to burn a DVD.  Some of the images are scans from old family pictures.
    The images present in the proper aspect ratio within iPhoto, but when I burn the CD in iDVD, some of the images are either compressed in from the sides or widened unacceptably.  Anyone know why the images are being distorted?

    I gave the iphoto slide show a show and although I couldn't access the options in the idvd dialog box, I liked the end results better. I included 225 pics, and the random transition's option from iphoto enhances the outcome. The random transition option is not available in idvd.

  • Is anyone using iPhoto having a problem with the slide show using shatter where it does not let you put a title over photo?

    Is anyone using iPhoto having a problem with the slide show using shatter where it does not let you put a title over photo? It use to work but it no longer lets you place a title over the opening photo.

    Is your signature still current?(iPhoto '08, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4))    I can confirm this for iPhoto '11; Shatter will only show the text slide title between the slides. Ken Burns and Classic theme can still be set to overlay the caption and title directly over the slides.
