Can't export iPhoto SS to iDVD and get tv safe area to play

Does anyone know how to export a ss with music directly to iDVD in a format that when you burn the DVD and try to play it on a tv - the slides/text does not cut off. I have done it via a QT Movie export and import in to iDVD but the quality goes way down - ANY advise would be greatly appreciated even if it is - it can't be done - very very frustrated - Eva

Eva,
The TV safe area (overscan) is one of the most frustrating things in video today! I sure hope that as we go to LCD and Plasma TVs, this topic becomes moot.
Regardless, my advice is to do what networks and TV producers do - just make sure nothing real important is outside the TV safe area.
And if you've got a photo or two with something you can't afford to lose, then matt that photo in photoshop or another image editor before making the slideshow.
And remember what I said about this becoming moot. I don't get any overscan on my new TV at all.....

  • TS3649 Suddenly i can't export iPhoto slideshows to iDVD after upgrading to 10.8.2   I get the message "CouldNotCreateTmpDir"  What do i do to overcome this problem?

    Suddenly i can't export iPhoto slideshows to iDVD after upgrading to 10.8.2   I get the message "CouldNotCreateTmpDir"  What do i do to overcome this problem?  I've been making slideshows for ages using iPhoto and iDVD and it's suddenly stopped. Urgent help needed.

    Are you saying that you cannot export a slideshow from iPhoto to the Desktop and then drag it from the Desktop (or the Movie frolder where it can be stored) into an open iDVD menu window?
    Export the slideshow at the large or medium size:
    They drag the movie file into the open iDVD window.  NOTE: do not move the movie file once it's been added to iDVD. That's why it should be placed in folder where you intend to keep it permanently or at least until the iDVD project is completed and burned to a disk image and then to disk.

  • How to export iPhoto Album in iMAC and have similar folder structure(with Timestamps) which can be viewed in finder

    How to export iPhoto Album in iMAC and have similar folder structure(with Timestamps) which can be viewed in finder
    In simple terms, I wanted to view the photos in Windows system, similar strcture of iPhotos

    If you want to copy all of your photos to a Windows machine and have them in folders representing the iPhoto Events the were in quickly and easily just do the following:
    1  - open the library with the Finder as shown in this screenshot:
    2 - COPY the Originals/Masters folder to the Desktop.
    3 - copy the Originals/Masters folder to the Windows machine.
    This will give you all of your original image file in their Event folder on the Windows machine.
    NOTE:  With iPhoto 8 or newer the Event folders in the Masters folder will be titled by date (EXIF) if imported from a camera.  If imported from a folder the event folder will have the same title as the source folder.  If imported singularly or in a group without a folder the title will be a date, either the EXIF date or import date.
    With iPhoto 7 (08) and earlier the Event folders in the Originals folder will have the same title as the Event has in the library.
    This method would be quicker but not provide the additional metadata you might have added in iPhoto like keywords, titles, descriptions that exporting out of iPhoto with Format=JPEG and the checkboxes selected to include keywords, titles, places, etc, checked.

  • I can't update iPhoto, GarageBand nor iMovie, and I can't open iPhoto at all.

    I can't update iPhoto, GarageBand nor iMovie, and iPhoto is the only one I can't open at all. I bought my Macbook half a year ago and when I try to update the Apps it says it's being modified and then that there was an error with Apple Store ):

    There is an issue with update servers today, so you'll have to wait anyway.

  • Can I use iphoto on ipad app and synch changes back to my mac?

    can I use iphoto on ipad app and synch changes back to my mac?

    No, changes done on the iPad will not sync back to iPhoto on your mac.
    But you can transfer the edited photos back to your mac - share them to the camera role or send them by mail. Any edited image you add to the camera roll can be imported into your iPhoto Library, when you connect your iPad to yourmac via USB.
    But there is no real syncing of iPhoto libraries on your mac and IOS devices.

  • I'm trying to replace a missing font and apparently it's a graphic.  It's not letting me replace with another font and click change.  I can't export until it's fixed and I need to fix / bypass as soon as possible.

    Go find the graphic in question, and open it in its native program. The problem will have to be fixed there.

  • Is there any shop in texas ,austin where we can replace an old ipod touch 3G and get a new ipod touch 4G ??

    Is there any shop in texas ,austin where we can replace an old ipod touch 3G and get a new ipod touch 4G ??
    pls help mee

    Sorry but I am pretty sure there isn't a shop which offers such a service.
    Apple stores offer a 14 day remorse period where you can return a purchase for a full refund without having to give a reason however this has probably expired - unless you bought from a different store with a similar system which you still happen to be within the time limit for.
    Your best bet would be to sell your iPod 3G and put the money towards a new one. If you are having trouble selling it an Apple store will take it and give you 10% off a new iPod.

    Or purchase an Apple Gift Card for him to use to get a phone at Apple after Christmas. He gets the card as the Christmas gift and can go get the phone himself. It would cost you the same amount of money.

    You can exchange for an out of warranty exchange iPhone 4 at a price of $149 in US
    you get an as new iPhone 4 and the Apple genius bar take your "bits"
    Apple are about to offer a trade in programme in the US but I believe the donor iPhone must be in full working order to qualify
