Caption at the end of my slideshow

How do I add a caption to the end of my slideshow that is displayed like the title of the slideshow is at the beginning? HELP! Thanks!

If you have iWork and the Pages application you can create a beautiful title/description slide and the start to Print it, in the next window click on the PDF button and select Save PDF to iPhoto in the drop down menu.
Click to view full size
You'll have a jpg file that can be added to your slideshow.

How do I put credits and acknowledgements at the end of a slideshow?

How do I put credits at the end of a slideshow?

Just like japamac said, but be aware that if you use the fully automatic settings, it will only show as long as the other slides, Don't put too much there!
You can also use Pages and save as a PDF.
(PS, you might get better answers if you ask in the form for that software, in this case iDVD)

How do I add captions to the photos in my slideshow?

Prior to the new Photos program, I was able to add captions to each photo in my slideshow - especially important for travel slideshows. I can't find any info on that or any function for that.

Thanks for your response but I can't find those apps under the list of apps in my settings.
What do I next?

How to stop a slideshow and show another movie clip at the end?

I am using my Description as the caption on Slideshow. I ticked the "Show Title Slide" button and iPhoto physically copied the description on the first slide onto the end of every other description. I can find no way of removing them other than by hand.

Contact information Dennis [email protected]
Previous contact information with your organization (DURIM):
Dennis - i just finished my audition trial and bought the subscription the 2014 version.
created by durin in Audition CS5.5, CS6 & CC - View the full discussion
DURIM - Okay. I would expect the "Cache Warning" message because your default directories would not be the same as the ones in the settings file I generated.
If you go back to the "7.0" directory and open the "Logs" folder, can you copy the "Audition Log.txt" file and send it as an attachment to [email protected]? We'll take a look in that logfile and see if it gives us more information about why this is failing now.
Also, do you have any other Adobe applications installed on this machine, such as Premiere Pro? If so, do they launch as expected or fail as well?
I do have the trial Pro version of Adobe reader, but I have not activated it, because I fear the same thing will happen did it. I cannot afford to activate the subscription for that product and take the chance of it not working either. I depend on those two programs religiously. Here is the files that you requested. I appreciate any help you can give me to get this audition program started

I am editing an idvd slideshow to have some of the music selections from itunes fade out at the end of each vacation segment using music reflecting the country visited. Is there a way to fast-forward the slideshow to observe the where the music ends.

I am editing an idvd slideshjow to have some of the music selections fade out at the end of each vacation segment. Is there a way I can fast-forward through the slideshow so I can see where the music is ending and adjust the time to end properly? (without repeatedly clicking the forward button on the e-remote)

Thanks very much, varjak paw. I checked half a dozen tracks on my iMac from different albums which did not copy over, plus several which did copy over. They all show the same location:
Users/Christina/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/Brandenburg Concertos etc. (one example)
What does this mean relative to the music which didn't copy? Is there another step? or somewhere else I should look?
And wow, thanks for the info about not having legal right to keep the tracks from the CDs. I am embarrassed that I didn't know. I gave most of my CDs to my sister. Before I delete all this highly prized music (400-500 tracks) -- if I get the CDs back from her and keep them at my house, can I continue to keep those tracks on my iMac? (Sister does not have iTunes or even know what an mp3 is, so it's not like she has copied or imported the CDs -- I just didn't realize I needed to retain possession.)
Or do I still need to remove all that music from my library?
Thank you again for your help.

Slideshow under Albums start at the end when manually sorted

Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1. Slideshow under Albums start at the end when photos are manually sorted, this was not in the earlier version. When sorted by date the slideshow starts with the first photo.

This is a know problem with iPhoto 9.5.1. Report you problem to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
Currently the only workaround is to create the slideshow in the iPhoto slideshow mode and not directly from an album or event.

How do you set the End Action on last slide of slideshow

Encore DVD CS3.
I must be the village idiot. I have setup a slideshow with manual advance. I cannot find a way to set the end action for the last slide. When I click on the last slide in the slideshow timeline there is no option that I can find for end action. When I preview the slideshow the last slide goes to black. I set the manual advance for all slides. There is several mentions of end action but no info on how to do it.
Appreciate advice. Very frustrating.
Clif
BTW Why are there no reference books for Encore CS3? It seems very strange. It has been out for a while but NO books.

Thank you for your help. I did what you said but the last slide still goes to black. The last slide also ignores the "manual Advance" and goes to black.
I highlighted the slideshow timeline in the project window and set end action on the properties panel on the right to the slideshow itself. But the last slide quickly goes to black. Each slide except the last one has a box in the upper right corner indicating a cross dissolve transition. I set the slide duration to "manual advance" for the whole slideshow. I feel like an idiot but nothing seems to change the end action of the slideshow or the last slide. Always cuts to black and stops.

When trying to export a slideshow from iphoto it is freezing at the end. what could be the issue?

We have a slideshow we created in iphoto. How do I burn it in idvd. I cannot get the export to finish, it stalls towards the end. We have less than 200 photos. We were able to do it once now it will not complete the export process. A ny help would be appreciative.

Hi barbara10,
so far I do not know "Live Media Type", I guess Export your slideshow for "HD1080p" or for Codec: H264
should be OK for iDVD.
This belongs to German Version of Aperture.
Did you create the slideshow? Was it a external slideshow?
Hope this helps
Uwe

Does the caption descriptions export along with exporting slideshows?

Does the caption descriptions export along with exporting slideshows ( iPhoto 09)?

George,
It sounds like the approach you are using is the correct one. This seems to be the cleanest solution to me especially since the customer is able to modify the generated SQL statements for their new system.
In order to preserve the AutoInc values I would recommend altering the table and changing the field datatype from AutoInc to Integer. Then export the table as code which will export the actual values. After the tables have been created on the new system they can change the field datatype back to an AutoInc type if necessary.

I just want to edit songs from itunes into a soundtrack for a slideshow but GB won't let me save it as an archive so the end result is very tinny. Help!

I just want to edit songs from itunes into a soundtrack for a slideshow but GB won't let me save it as an archive so the end result is very tinny. Help!

to Itunes as a compressed file
Try to save to iTunes uncompressed - if you uncheck the "compress" option, the file will be exported in aiff-format, CD quality. The file size will be larger, but your slideshow will have a better soundtrack.

At the end of my IMovie I want to write some text: as in" Happy Birthday Mandy we had a great time with you. etc.. How do I go about this? Which icon in IMovie lets me have a place to write text?? help please

Please see my ? above: Im making an IMovie and need the last frame to just be text (can be on a color). I don't know how to go about doing this. Ive already done all my photos and captions. Need to have it ready for TOMORROW: Friday May 23rd. Help please!
Thanks

You can choose a background for the text from Maps and Backgrounds. Just drag a background to the end of the timeline, adjust to desired duration then drag title above it.

IDVD doesn't respond after it says "Done" at the end of Burning

Firstly, I have burn many, many, MANY DVD's before in iDVD (for school camps, special occasions, etc.) and have met this problem before, but in a different way. Those times I was burning about 20 copies, and after about 7 or 8, it would say this problem. My solution was to press cancel, then start burning again IMMEDIATELY, and it would work again.
The Problem: that when burning a DVD (it's a project on Apple as a company. Kinda ironic, because it's all about how fantastic they are, and then this happens). What happens, is that iDVD processes the movies, menus, slideshows, etc. and then gets to the "Burn" part of the burning. Here, the process bar is slowly moving forward, and after about 5 minutes of burning (very normal for my mac) it ejects; BUT!: the menu left on iDVD stays on the "Done" screen forever (at the end of the burning, the remaining time is Done). I checked on my other computer and again on my mac, and it is positively blank (the drive also didn't make as much noise as it usually does when burning). This may have something to do with that it is the first time I have exported a Keynote to a QuickTime, and then put it into iDVD (and I also put some "Get a Mac" ads off the Apple website on it). I asked a good friend of mine about this, and suggested that I put the ads into iMovie '09 and then export into iDVD, just so that they are all definitely the same format, but it didn't work AGAIN! So I put the ads into Keynote, deleted them from iDVD, re-exported them and failed to burn AGAIN X 2! HHEELLPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update: The problem still occurs, but I had the project due in today, so I put the quicktime of the Keynote on a flash-drive and ran it off my School computer (not a mac... unfortunatley).

Please help, at the end of my.........

I'm trying out the '09 Version of Keynote and have made a great slideshow that I want to export to a Quicktime Movie. I have a soundtrack playing in time with transitions through the first portion, then a slide which contains a quicktime movie. Then a further 2 slides with one containing a short sound effect.
I've done this before on '08 so I'm sure I'm not doing anything wrong, but everytime I export to a movie the movie within the slideshow doesn't play.
I've recorded the slideshow to get all the timings in time with the music, I've tried setting ALL transitions to automatic and fined tuned them to match the music. Then recorded it and kept quiet.
This slideshow will play from start to finish with no input from me, but when I export it, the movie in the slideshow just remains on the first frame till the next transition happens.
I've even tried uploading straight to YouTube but the same occurs.
Help, is it a glitch in the software. I've had 3 movies playing within a slide before and successfully exported it in a movie in '08. What's wrong!!!
Cheers for any feedback
Chris

How do I make the "Open new tab" button positioned at the end of the tab strip, on the right, next to the last open tab, just as the standard Firefox should be.

My "Open a new tab" button (the +) does not appear at the end of the tab strip, it does not look like it is given in all photos here in the support page. It did not look like this before either. Now I have it at the most left end i.e. before the tabs begin. I can move it to the most right, but it sticks there. I want it to be attached to the last open tab, as it used to be, and as is shown in example Firefox photos.
Could be useful if I sent you a print screen, but I don't see an attachment option here.
Thanks!
