Change duration of single slide in a slideshow?

Can I increase the duration of a single slide in a slideshow? If so, how?
Thank you

Thank you for your help. I come across the Timeline periodically when I am creating five different slide shows and will keep looking for it. Your feedback gives me a hint.
Happy New Year.
Thank you

Random changes when changing setting for individual slide in a slideshow

I've used iPhoto for years and produced many slideshows. However, now when I try to use Ken Burns Effect for an individual slide, I click on the "start" area, adjust my slide, click on "end," and then iPhoto jumps to a totally different slide in the slideshow. When I go back to the slide I wanted to work with, nothing was saved, and the same random change of picture happens.
Actually, the Ken Burns Effect hasn't worked correctly on ANY slide I've tried.
Also, when I try to rearrange the slide order, the slides may stay in the correct order for a few seconds, but then a slide may jump four slides to the right (and again out of order). This behavior is strange and random. It is infuriating and I don't know what to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
ALSO, when I export a slideshow with music, the song plays fine for a few minutes, but then another song starts and the two songs are playing on top of each other (actually, it may be the same song playing over itself too).
What gives?!

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

Changing slide duration times in the middle of slideshow

I'm making a slideshow with two different audio files that I've created into a soundtrack using garageband. Each song is about 3:30 in length. Here's my problem: The first song needs to match up with about 10-20 pictures. The 2nd song needs to match up with about 100 pictures. I need this to be one continuous slideshow (versus creating two seperate ones) as it is part of a presentation for a fundraiser and I need it to be timed right. Does anyone know of a way of changing the time between slides in the initial part of a slideshow and then speeding it up in the middle (i.e. 5 seconds for the first portion of the slideshow and then 2 seconds for the remaining portion of the slideshow)?
I'm using IDVD to create the slideshow but if anyone has a better idea please let me know

Hi lb121389
Have you considered creating your slideshow as a QT movie? ....otherwise you may be asking too much of a consumer app like iDVD6. Suggest staying within the following choices when working within iDVD6 slideshow durations:

Apple's pro apps like FCP > DVDSP can address the types of modifications you are looking for. Hope this is Helpful and good luck to you.

How can I change the background of a single slide?

I applied a theme to my keynote presentation but now I want to change the back of a single slide. How can I do this??? thanks in advance!!!

Hi
While you are at the slide that you want to change:
Open Inspector
Go to the second tab, named "Slide"
The last option is named "Backround"
You can choose a color, a gradient or an image fill from there
And that's it.
Hope it helps you

As PowerPoint is not an Apple product (a lot of Mac users avoid Microsoft stuff) you may get faster and better help by using the MS Office:Mac forums here:

Can't change the first slide in a slideshow

I'm using iPhoto 09, version 8.1.1, (419). When I create a slideshow I am unable to change the first slide in the slideshow. I've tried these alternatives 1) deleted the slide (it won't delete) 2) moving the first slide to follow the second slide 3) moving the second slide to appear before the first slide. In all cases, iPhoto freezes and this requires rebooting iPhoto.
I just experienced this since 12/30. These are moderately sized slideshows (50-200 slides). I am an avid user of iPhoto slideshows and I've never experienced this before. I can't change any of the first slides in about 8 slideshows I've created after Christmas.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is anyone else interested in putting together a comprehensive list of recommended changes to iPhoto? It seems that after each new release old problems are fixed and new ones are created that are pretty basic. I am an avid fan of iPhoto but don't understand why the application can be so quirky. Thanks.

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
If that fails try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)

Changing Duration of Slide Show Photos In Aperture 3?

Just made my first slide show in Aperture 3. The program defaults all slide show photos to a display time of 3 sec. How do I change all the slides from 3 sec to something else?
thanx

I played around with templates hoping that would bring forth some hidden "slide duration" controls...but no luck.
In iPhoto I can change the slide duration for each slide individually.
For A3...this capability eludes me.
Anyone figure this out yet?

Vintage slideshow separate two pictures from single slide

Hi
Anyone an idea how to separate two pictures from a single slide in a Vintage Slideshow? And to put two different ones on a single slide?
Thanks
Jens

To clarify a little bit more.......
Aperture offers to possibility to generate slideshows by using certain templates, e.g. Vintage .
So, dragged a few pictures into that template and Aperture generates a nice slideshows which could be adapted in certain aspects. And here comes my question.....certain slides contain two pictures, most of the slides only one picture. When the slideshows is build up in a way that there chain different motives or topics, you don't want that e.g. two different motives are on a single slide. So, I'm looking to separate those two pictures which Aperture picked to be put on a sinlge slide......
I haven't found any options yet, which let you control those automatic arrangement.....
so, does anyone has an idea?

How to change duration of selected still image Clips?

iMove is great in all its simplicity. However coming from the Windows (Pinnacle Studio) side I have yet a few mysteries to solve: Changing duration of a single still image clip is trivial, but it seems impossible to do the same operation selecting two or more clips. Did I miss anything? You can specify the duration and apply to all clips, but I have found no way to apply e.g. 4 sec duration to half of the 220 slides in my slideshow. Cmd+R on 100 still images seems like a fairly unintelligent approach. Hints, anyone?

Hi
Anybody?
I'm having the same problem.
I have 500 stills in my timeline (iMovie 06 HD) and there seems to be no way to change the duration of more than one still at a time.
This cannot be right. Please tell me what I am missing!
According to another thread about this issue, the answer was that after I select my group of stills in the timeline, I should be able to open "Media" and "Photos" in iMovie, and then set the stills duration settings that way.
But the button "Show Photo Settings" is greyed out, so I am unable to set the group stills duration.
Any help?
PLEASE?

How to set the duration of each pic in a slideshow (and also how to pan and zoom)

I have about 30 pictures I would like to add to a slide show.
When I add them the duration for each picture is set to 6 seconds.
I would like this changed to 4 seconds.
But manually changing the duration of each individual picture, one by one, is a slow and tedious task.
Is there a way of changing the duration of all my pictures at the same time, from 6 seconds to 4 seconds ?
Or can I change a setting so that when I insert my pictures the duration is set to 4 seconds instead of 6 seconds ?
As for the pan and zoom, I have seen the pan and zoom effect but this has a black border around the pictures as they zoom in and out.
For example, when zooming in the picture starts small with a black border all round the edge.
When zooming out the picture ends small with a black border all round the edge.
Is there a way to pan and zoom starting with a full screen when zooming in, and ending with a full screen when zooming out ?
Thereby not showing any ugly black borders.
My Nokia N73 phone can do it !
You can view the pictures as a slide show and when it pans and zooms it looks so much better because it does not show any black borders.
The picture ALWAYS fills the screen even though it is panning and zooming.

If you go to Edit/Preferences, you can set the default duration for each slide. This will affect only those photos you've imported into your project AFTER changing this preference.
You should also turn off the preference for Scale to Frame Size, so your photos do not fill the screen. (And, for efficiency's sake, make sure your source photos are no larger than 1000x750 pixels, per the FAQs at the top of this forum.)
You can also set the duration of each slide by selecting all of the stills you want to include on in your slideshow, right-clicking and selecting the Create Slideshow option.

Can't change duration of multiple photos

In iMovie 5 I was able to change the duration of multiple still photos all at once, but this feature does not seem to work in iMovie 6. I've searched the topics on this forum and tried the suggestions I found but nothing works. I can't even import a single photo with the duration I choose - iMovie defaults to a duration of 00:02 if I choose 00:05, for example. I'm creating a stop-motion movie from hundreds of photos and double-clicking on each one to set the duration seems ridiculous. Any ideas?

Hi rattlebrain - welcome to the forum!
It does work in iMovie 6:
Establish the duration you want as default before importing the pics, and also decide then whether or not you want to import with the KB effect selected.
To update after they have been imported, select them all in the Timeline/Clips View, then in the Photos Pane adjust the duration with the slider, and hit Update.
Note - you may have to click the "show photo settings" button to access the floating settings pane.

How can I change the speed of slides for each song on the custom list?

Hello - I am working on an anniversary slideshow in iphoto on my Mac. It contains 145 photos. I have a custom playlist of two songs. I want to adjust the speed of the slideshow in the beginning to be slower because the song is slower. Then I want the photos to move faster at the end. I did notice I can specifically define the speed for each of the slides manually, but that would take forever. Does anyone have a recommendation of a trick for doing this in batches?

What is your iPhoto version?
In iPhoto '11 you can change the duration for several slides at once, if you are using the Classic Theme or the Ken Burns theme.
In that case do the following: SElect several slides at once and open the Settings. Click the "This slde" tab and change the "Show this slide for ..." setting.

Rerecording Narration for a Single Slide

I've recorded the narration for a long slideshow (without Keynote) and I need to rerecord the narration for a single slide. When I read the help files, they read as though I will wipe out everything after the slide I record. Please tell me that's not true and that there is a way I can record new narration for a single slide. Thanks.

The term "narration" has a very specific meaning in Keynote: it refers to a spoken (usually) track that accompanies an entire slideshow, running through all of the slide changes.
If you want to record a "voice-over" (VO) track for a single slide all you need to do is record this off-line (for example in Garage Band or any other audio production application) and then import this as an audio file into the individual slide. Use the Inspector > Build-in > start audio to initiate playback within the slide.
Caveats: 1) This will play only while the specific slide is on the screen. IF you change the slide, the VO track will stop. 2) It will play simultaneously with any Soundtrack or Narration tracks you have assigned to the overall slideshow, and you have no way to control the relative balance between them. So, if you do have either (or both) a Soundtrack and Narration for your program, you will need to record these such that they leave room (either by fading out/in or reducing level) for this specific VO track.
Good luck.

Cannot view Keynote slides except in slideshow or slide navigator

I'm using Keynote '09 version 5.0.3 (791) on Macbook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo with OS X 10.6.3. Been working fine ... always. Today I installed the latest Apple update and ... bad times. Firstly, many of my settings (screensaver, desktop, etc.) have changed. But the main problem I have found is that Keynote is now unusable ... I can see the slides when in slideshow and I can see them in the slide navigator down the left but I CANNOT SEE THE SLIDE CONTENT IN THE MAIN WINDOW which means that I cannot create or edit slide content. I've checked a whole load of old Keynote files and am convinced it is not a problem with any of the files (they open fine on other computers). The same happens when I try to create a new Keynote presentation ... I can create a new slide and enter content on it (although I cannot see what I am typing) and I can then view the slide in slideshow. I'm thinking that the latest Apple update has broken something. I tried to submit a ticket to Apple ... but was told I need to pay to do this. Can anybody help please?

PROBLEM SOLVED !!!
By the way, I tried creating a new user account and that didn't help. I spent about 9 hours in total searching these forums and the web for a solution. I spoke to all my tech friends for help. I tried everything, including repairing disk permissions, screen resolutions, etc. In the end we figured out that the update must have corrupted - possibly because I downloaded and installed it while within a corporate network. So I downloaded it again (making sure I had the latest combo version from the Apple web site) and then installed it again from home. Now everything is working fine!
So my recommendation to anyone who has the same problem ... backup everything and then back it up again; get the latest combo update from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1017 and only download and run it when you are not in a corporate environment or going through proxy (just in case that makes a difference).
Thanks to everyone for trying to help me and I hope this helps you

How can I add sound to a single slide?

I would like to add sound to a single slide so that it plays while the slide is being shown. Is there a way to do that in Lightroom 5?

In Lightroom, you would have to create a slideshow using that one slide. Then you would add the sound to the slideshow.
