Can I create a large slideshow in Aperture?

I have about 800 photos I want to make a slideshow in Aperture3.3, add audio, theme. Can this be done, or should I split it up? In the past in iPhoto, iDVD, I have had problems getting large projects to process, they seem to stall. I just recently purchased Aperture, this is my first project. I have USB thumb drive 8GB to transfer the Slideshow to, will this be a problem? I was told I could drag and drop the slideshow to the thumbdrive. We were on a long trip with friends and I want to give this to them as a gift. Thank you for your answer.

Can I suggest that if you're making a large slideshow then you might be best working in iMovie or a dedicated Slideshow app. You'll have much more fine control over what happens - especially with the sound track and the timings.
Alternatives to Aperture'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.

Can't create new photo streams in Aperture

When I select new photos to add to a photo stream, I am not prompted to create a new photo stream, they are simply sent to the stock photo stream that is already shared between my iPhone and Aperture. How can I create new photo streams in Aperture if the standard method doesn't work for me? What is wrong with my setup that I can't follow the videos of instructions because I don't get a dialog box when I try to share?
Thanks,
Will

Is your Profile signature correct Mac OS X (10.7.5) ? Then you cannot create Shared Photo Streams. They require OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 and Aperture 3.4, see:
Using and troubleshooting shared photo streams.
You can create Shared Photo Streams with:
an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iOS 6
a Mac using OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 with Photo 9.4 or later or Aperture 3.4 or later
a PC using Windows 8, Windows 7, or Vista with the iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later installed. (iCloud Control Panel 2.1 required with Windows 8.)
If your system is compatible with shared streams, check, if you have enabled shared streams in both the System Preferences and Aperture's Preferences.

How can I create projects larger than 7GB?

I want to creat a project and it will be very large... over 10GB. I know that because I finnished only two thirds of it and it already 7GB size (I get the warnning message all the time)
Is there any way to create a larger projects? I dont want to burn it on a disc... I just want to save it as an image file, and play it from there...
If there's a way to make my project smaller so it can fit a Dual-Layer disc will also be a bless...
Thank you all!!
Naor

Yes. It is not the size in GB of your project. I have had many projects that were between 60 and 100 GB, but under the time lime.
It is theTIME limitation that iDVD is complaining about to you. A single-layer DVD can hold 120 minutes of content, including menus and submenus. A double-layer DVD can hold twice that much, 240 minutes total. Your project exceeds the capacity of even a double-layer DVD because it is too long to burn on one DVD.
To burn DVDs with that many minutes, you will need to split your project and burn it to two DVDs, so that each part is not longer than 240 minutes total time. This is the same for creating disk image files. They cannot exceed the total time limits.
I have seen reports of supercompressing data using Toast, so that you can fit more content onto a disk, but I have not used it this way, and I think you are probably trying to put too much onto one disk even for Toast. Maybe others have done this and can give your their experiences with Toast's limitations.

Can you create a book from the Aperture free trial?

I have created a book on the Aperture free trial and can't seem to buy it. Is there any way I can or can I not buy a book off of the Aperture free trial?

The free trial is a fully functioning version of Aperture so you should be able to buy a book with it. What problems are you having?

I've never made a ramdisk that way, I always make an entry in fstab with the size:

I would like to create a Ramdis such as /dev/ram0 so that I can mount and unmount it without losing my data. with tmpfs, after unmount, all my data will be erased.

Can Pages create a large banner?

I'm trying to create a large banner (2 or 2.5 ft. x 5 or 6 ft) by "tiling" multiple pages together to create one large image of text. Can Pages do this, and if so how?

You are able to define a media geometry that is independent of the media geometry in your presently registered printer.
If you define a media geometry that is larger than the media geometry in your presently registered printer, the system lets you scale down the media geometry.
The media geometry scales as a whole - you can specify the scaling manually or you can let the system compute the scaling (fit once, fit twice - called two up, fit four times - called four up, etc.).
You cannot set multiple origins within the media geometry and manually tile the larger media geometry onto the smaller media geometry supported in your presently registered printer.
This is a limitation of Apple's implementation and not of the underlying printing model.
This is before breakfast coffee, hope my random access memory is working.

Can I create a portfolio slideshow using custom thumbnails?

Hi. After searching the forums and watching several Lynda tutorials, I can't seem find an answer to my specific question. I'm creating a new portfolio website for myself and for the actual portfolio page, I went ahead and created custom thumbnails for each of the pieces I want to display and gave them all the same rollover state (see the screen capture image below of how I'd like them to look when hovered over).
I was expecting to be able to use them as a trigger to get a pop-up slideshow, but it appears the only way to do so in Muse is by using one of the pre-existing widgets. I know you can customize the widgets, but I don't see any way I can use the custom thumbnails I already created. Am I overlooking something or can this simply not be done in Muse and I have to change my thumbnail layout to match what the widgets allow?
And for a secondary question, my portfolio images are all different sizes (depending on the type of design, of course). Do any of the widgets in Muse have the ability to change their size and shape based on the image? Or do I have to make all of the images fit into the same size window?
Thank you!

sebrame Thanks for pointing out the compsition widget! I was able to make the gallery with it, without moving my project to dreamweaver! I don't know about your slideshow widget, but for me it doesn't let me to make the triggers different sizes. If you resize one thumbnail, it will resize all of them at the same time. :/
RimVai wrote:
@sebrame - I'm aware that it's possible with a composition, but adding about 200 images in my case would be very time consuming compared to if the functionality was readily available in the gallery widget..?
RimVai Yeah, last week I actually made it with the composition widget - which was truly more time consuming than the slideshow > lightbox widget. But there're actually some little presets making it just a bit less hard with compositions. (You just have to be extra careful when adding the images.)
You may know these already, but I write them here in case someone who doesn't know happens to read this thread.
You don't need to add all 200 thumbnails one by one. Just place the composition widget, and then use the "place" tool to add all your images. Click the very first thumbnail box with the place tool: Muse will automatically add all 200 pictures into separate 200 thumbnails that you'll then be able to rezise and move around. The order of the pictures (without broking the link between the lightbox picture and the thumbnail) can be changed after adding the lighbox pictures, by moving the thumbnail object to front or behind within the widget.
While adding the lightbox image, make 100% sure that you are in the lighbox page of the very first thumbnail, then use the "place" tool again and click the box that should be holding the content of the first thumbnail. It will again place all 200 pictures into the separate lighbox "pages" or whatever they are called. If you were in the box of the first thumbnail, the pictures will now be in order, and linked to their correct thumbnails.
I agree, the composition is much more inconvinient to use than the slideshow widget, but in my case I really needed different size thumbnails for my gallery. So for me it was worth the work, I guess. The best thing Muse developer team could do with this, would be to enable the different size thumbnails with slideshow widget as well, but before that happens this was the best option for me.

Can i create a large number of identical tabs?

I have searched around and found nothing on the topic.. what i am looking at here is this.
I have currently set up two tabs that are identical, each representing a component on a device and the component is selected when the user clicks on the tab.
For example, if i switch to tab two, i select component two.
Now these tabs are identical, same controls same indicators and so on.. what i want to know is if it is possible to make it so that say.. if i tell it i have 5 components, it would show 5 identical tabs. if i told it it had 20 components it would bring up 20 and so on. At the moment i am looking at having to create each tab one by one and then hiding them..
Thanks for your time and any help at all is greatly appreciated

bracker wrote:
altenbach--this problem could be phrased a little more generally though: some, but not all types of controls could appear on each tab, while other controls are unique to particular tabs. I've encountered exactly this situation, and I don't have a good way to duplicate the exact location of the common controls on each tab. Can "copy and paste" be done "in place" somehow?
Using altenbach's approach would be best. If you have a handful of specific controls but most are common you can control this by showing/hiding control. When the user selects the type of device you could show/hide the controls which are not common to all. Using this approach you could place controls on top of each other as long as only one would be visible at a time. This saves on diagram space and gives you a clean interface. Internally you use an array of clusters. If you may have different clusters you can decide if the differences are significant enough to warrant using different cluster definitions or simply having a few parameters that do not apply to all devices included in a single cluster definition. The controls on the front panel itself do not need to be in a cluster since they are only there for the UI. This gives you a bit more freedom in laying out the front panel. Anything that uses typedefs (ENUMs for example) should share the same typedef though.
If you feel very ambitious and think you may reuse this control in several applications you could implement this as an X-Control.

CAN'T CREATE VAULT!!! aperture 2 with mac os 10.5.4

hi! i cannot create vault from aperture 2 to external hd. usually with he older version everything works well. now when i click the menu vault in the bottom left also the window vault doesn't work fine. And when i create a vault in the external hd aperture doesn't leave me to update the vaults, doesn't leave to delete....
and the general usage of the aperture interface turns out difficult!
i use aperture since the first release and switching to the aperture 2 was a great experience but i wasn't expected to find this important function disabled...
thanks Matteo

Can I create a large network with 2 WRT900N routers & 2 live ethernet ports 80 ft apart.

I have a main cable modem in the cellar and from there it splits with one LAN line going to one end of the house and the other LAN going to the other. I have two wireless routers (WRT900N). Yes, I know I can connect one WRT900N to another WRT900N through their LAN ports. That being said, can't I do this some other way? It would make sense that with two live LAN CAT-5 plug-ins, two top end routers, that I should be able to do it. That being said, the only feedback I am getting is to go and return one of the routers and buy a couple of access points (although the reviews on the WRT900N repeaters are not so flattering) but this does not make any sense to me. thanks for anyone's help!

Are you sure that it is WRT900N ??
I think it is WRT600N !!

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.

How can I create a slideshow that depicts only a version of a photo rather than the original? Since the original and new versions are saved together, the aperture slideshow often choices the original rather than the desired version to display.

There are two things we use the name "Slideshow" for in Aperture: a Slideshow Album, used for making Slideshows, and the Slideshow that is made. (Imho, it is a design mistake to not call the containers used to create Slideshows, Books, etc., "Albums".)
The Slideshow will use the Album Pick from any Stack. A good way to use Aperture is to promote the Image you want to regularly use (such as, for example, a Version with adjustments) to the top of the Stack. This makes it the Stack Pick, and will be the default Album Pick. If you haven't done that, you can still change the Album Pick for any Stack in a Slideshow Album. Expand your Stack(s), select the Image in each Stack that you want to be the Album Pick (and thus shown in the Slideshow), and "Stacks➞Set Album Pick". (Note the keyboard shortcut; there is also a Toolbar icon for this.) The change is immediate. The Slideshow will always show the Album Pick (or, if there is not one, the Stack Pick) for every Stack in your Slideshow Album.

I created a slideshow in aperture. How I can share it?

Is there a way I can share a slideshow from Aperture? I know there are are sharing options like email (file too big), text message (file too big), photostream (can share only as still photos), facebook (not interested), Flikr (not interested).

Problem with iPhoto or Aperture when I want to export a large slideshow

Hello,
I have a big problem when I want to export a large slideshow is created with iPhoto or Aperture. After ten minutes, my iMac off and then restart. I tried several times but the problem again.
I said that this slideshow contains photos and videos.
thank you

That can be caused by many things - try to narrow down, what is happening:
Does your slideshow have a problem?
Do the media in your slideshow have a problem?
Does your Aperture library need fixing?
A problem with your user account?
Video codecs?
Aperture?
Your Mac OS X?
Your Hardware?
Check, if you can export slideshows at all from your Aperture library. Create a new, emty slideshow for experimenting and add one video, an audio clip and one or two photos. Try to export. Does that work?
If yes, duplicate your original slideshow and delete half of the photos from it. can you export now? Continue to find the video or image that does not work.
If no slideshow can be exported from your current library try to create a simple test slidesho in a different library. Does it work?
Post back with your results.

Can you create a digital negative from a digital positive in Aperture?

Hi everyone,
I'm wanting to make some cyanotypes and have converted images to B&W, but need to covert these to digital negatives so I can have them printed on acetate.
Is it possible to create a digital negative in Aperture?
Thanks,
Andrew

Using the solution supplied by Leonia, and cited by Keith, you can do the same thing (flopping the Curve profiles) in LightRoom. So, it makes sense. Though I didn't know know it worked for Color Negatives.
A friend of mine with a Nikon Coolscan is going to scan nearly 150 B&W rolls of 35mm negatives for me, and I want to import them all into Aperture, naming and keywording as I go. The objective is, of course, to have the convenience of a diigtal library. But also to have some made into large prints for framing.
