Combine music video in an iPhoto slideshow?

I'm curious....
Can I put a music video (purchased from iTunes) into an iPhoto slideshow? The iPhoto slideshow has about 100 photos, with the photos displayed for the duration of the music playlist I've selected. I'm wondering if I can add a music video to this slideshow, where the aformentioned music stops playing...the music video plays...then the slideshow resumes playing with the photos and music?

When playing a slideshow directly from an album the show will start with the first photo in the album unless another photo is selected. In that case the slideshow will begin with the selected photo.
There's also an setting pane for the album slideshow with an option to randomize the photos with each playing.
Make sure the Shuffle checkbox is not selected.

ITunes music not playing in iPhoto slideshow after upgrading to Maverick....Why?

iTunes music not playing in iPhoto slideshow after upgrading to Maverick....Why?

Yes, the tracks were purchased in the iTunes store. I'm sure that DRM is the culprit. Seems like an obvious answer now that I think about it.
Thanks for the help.

How to Play music from Garageband in iPhoto slideshow

Hi
Just started learning to use Garageband to "stitch" some songs together to play in the iPhoto slideshow.
1. When in iPhoto slideshow, there is an option to select the "stitched" song from source "Garageband" - but, the music does not play when the slideshow runs.
In fact, in the music window - the "stitched" song is listed under source "Garageband" with no time.
BUT,
2. when in "Garageband" - under "Share" I send song to iTunes - the "stitched" song appears in source "iTunes" which I can select in iPhoto and it will play with the slideshow.
Does anyone know, what step I did not complete for the first option above to work. I guess, it has something to do with "making it share in iLife" - but I cannot find where is that option.
Loom forward to hear from someone.
Regards

Video Issues in iPhoto Slideshow

Hello Everyone,
If anyone could help me out with the following problem I would greatly appreciate it:
I am creating a slideshow in iPhoto, I have a combination of photos and short video clips within this particular slideshow. I have the slideshow starting with pictures, then the middle portion are a few short clips, then the slideshow ends with more photos.
When I do a preview, when the picture portion ends and the first video clip begins to play iPhoto freezes everytime. I have tried to preview the videos within the slideshow builder and they also freeze iPhoto and crash the application.
When I go to the albums section in iPhoto where the photos and videos originaly came from, the clips all work there but for some reason in the slideshow builder they freeze and crash the program. I am forced to do a command+option+esc close of the program everytime.
I have created a similar style slideshow back in October of 2011 with both photos and videos. When I created this previous slideshow back then it worked fine and I had no issues. I still have this slideshow saved and when I try to preview or play this previous slideshow now I have the same issue..when the photos finish and the videos start the program freezes and crashes.
I thought maybe it was because of file type, so I have imported .AVI, .MP4, .WMV, .M4V and all of these various file types all freeze and crash the slideshow.
Any ideas? I tried to do a system update, but my system is fully up to date.
I currently have iPhoto 11 version 9.2.3 (629.52)
Any help or feedback would really be appreciated, thanks in advance!

Six other folks have the same problem. Can anyone help?

What video format is needed to play videos in an iPhoto slideshow?

I would like to use pictures and video to play throughout the slideshow however, the pictures play fine but the video just shows a blank black screen when I play. Is there a certain format that the videos must be in for them to register in a slideshow. Please note, that the videos play fine in iPhoto regularly, the issue arrises when I put them in a slideshow. Can anyone help me please?
Thank you,

That's above my pay grade but look at these topics:

Apple TV Streaming iPhoto Slideshow/Streaming Music Playlist

For some reason my Apple TV lists Photo-Settings-Music>Off and I can't change it. I have a Music Playlist selected in iPhoto Slideshow settings on my iMac that I stream from but I'm getting no music when streaming photos to Apple TV. I thought the Apple TV listed my streaming playlists before but it seems to have oddly disapeared. I've rebooted both my iMac and Apple TV but no change. I've also disconnected from my iTunes libary and reconnected but it still hasn't corrected this problem. Am I missing a menu for this option somewhere on the Apple TV? Thank you for any assistance that you can provide.

Although you have only one library and stream only there are essentially 2 ways to look at setting this up.
You can set your library up as a shared (or secondary library) in which event it can only stream content.
Or you can set your library up as a primary library in which event it will have streaming and syncing capabilities, even though you don't actually select anything to sync.
Think of this as syncing turned off vs syncing turned on but with no items syncing. I do believe unless you set things up the latter way your music library won't be available to use in conjunction with slideshows.
This does of course mean that you would then need to sync your photos from your primary library. Primary libraries require that photos are synced. If you had any secondary libraries they would then be able to stream their photos and use the music from the primary library for slideshows.

I cannot get music to play on my iPhoto slideshows.

You may access your iTunes music iin iphoto
You may also access it in other apps - like iMovie
If - for some reason - you can access the music in iMovie but not in iPhoto, then the issue is with iPhoto.
If you can't access it in either then the issue is with iTunes.

Iphoto slideshow tries to read music videos in itues...

iphoto slideshow tries to read music videos in itues... It appears that i have music videos in my itunes music library, and when I try to start building a slide show in iphoto. Iphoto first looks a the music libary and hangs up trying to play music videos.
Can anyone shed any light on this behavior of Slideshow

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Does this occur when you add music to the Slideshow? Or some other time?

Mute music when videos play in iPhoto

I have a presentation that combines photos and a few videos in iPhoto. I am using music form my itunes library. How can I get the music to stop playing or mute when the videos play in iPhoto (so we can hear the sounds from the imported video) then start or unmute the itunes music when iPhoto is back to showing photos? Does that make sense?
Pardon my ignorance. Thank you!!
jay

That's not a feature in iPhoto. iDVD has such a feature but doesn't work very well at all. You might be able to create the slideshow in iMovie and mute the added music during the video clips. I don't use the latest version of iPhoto so can't help there. It's easy if you use the older iMovie 6 HD version.

Will an iPhoto slideshow with music work on all computers in China?

I am making a promotional DVD for an education program in the US, and taking it to China to education fairs. If it is an iPhoto slideshow with music, will it work on all Chinese computers? I assume so, because since it is not video, I should not have to worry about different formats-right? I've got enough to worry about on this trip!
Prof. Fisher

On every single computer in China? Impossible to tell. But if you create a slideshow in iPhoto and send it to iDVD to be burned to a DVD then it will play on anything that plays DVD.

Creating DVD from iPhoto Slideshow with music

I'm trying to create a DVD of a slideshow with music that was created previously in iPhoto and then "Shared with iDVD". The .m4v file located in Pictures> iPhoto Slideshows is not accessible in iDVD. The only way I can make it work is to spend the hour or so required to start from scratch by clicking "Share with iDVD" from an open iPhoto slideshow, thus creating a .m4v file and then going directly to the iDVD menu that's automatically opened at the end of the "Share with iDVD" process. Any ideas?

Welcome to the forums.
When I'm going from iPhoto to iDVD with a slideshow, I get good results by Exporting from iPhoto to a large-sized Quicktime movie. I can preview the video and music, and if I'm happy, I can then just drop the Quicktime file onto the iDVD menu area (not into a drop zone, that's just eye candy). It's been a reliable process for me.

IPhoto slideshow that uses registered music

I have created a slideshow on iPhoto, I was allowed to utilize the music i have stored in my iTunes library. When i went to export the slide show, I was told that I could export just the photos and the music that isn't registered to an actual artist. My question is:
Is there a way to export the iPhoto slideshow including the registered music?
If so, how?
I imported the slideshow to iMovie instead, but can't seem to insert the music I had from the original slideshow. How do I do that in iMovie?

What kind of song are you using?
If your song has been bought from the iTunes Store and is in the older "Protected AAC audio file" format you cannot use the file to render a video or bounce a new song with GarageBand, because that would remove the protection.
Check the "kind" in iTunes in the "Info" panel for the song, in the "File" tab.
If you have backed up your songs to CD by burning a playlist to CD, try if the backed up CD versions of your songs can be used. Sometimes that works.

Coordinating music and photos in iPhoto videos

I have been having a great deal of trouble coordinating the pictures with the music that I try to add to my iMovie videos. By this I mean that I simply want the song to play to the end. I know that I can keep adding photos from iPhoto until I have enough to support the music, but isn't there a simpler way? This way is overly tedious.
Maybe I misunderstand the instructions/information. Here's what I do.
A.MUSIC SETTINGS in iPhoto
(1) Put checkmark before "Play music during slideshow".
(2) Highlight chosen song
(3) Click CHOOSE
B.SLIDESHOW SETTINGS
There are two choices here, either of which would SEEM to solve my problem, but don't:
(1) Place dot before "Play each slide for a minimum of ___ seconds. The music will repeat for as long as the slides play".
(2) Place dot before "Fit SLIDESHOW to music. Slide durations will be adjusted to make the slides play as long as the music plays
To me, this looks like I can use either option to get the desired result, but it doesn't work like that. To me, it looks like I could just select, say, 100 seconds for item 1, or just "Fit SLIDESHOW to music" as item 2 states. Wrong. Neither way works for me.
I'm talking about one three-minute song with as many pictures as iPhoto requires. Where am I going wrong?

Some rules of thumb:
A minute long slideshow can have a maximum of 60 images - 1 per second, assuming no cross fades.
10 per minute will feel busy
5 per minute will give people time to view the images comfortably.
You know that the iPhoto slideshow is no more than a quick and handy way to do this. Other apps offer more control - and some can even upload directly to YouTube.
Alternatives to iPhoto'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.

I am putting three iphoto slideshows into idvd. the music included came from itunes, but when my dvd burns, the music all sounds scratchy.... Help1

The project with the 3 iphoto slideshows and 2 video clips look fine in idvd before I burn them. then the music all sounds scratchy. I have done numerous videos in idvd before, but never had this audio problem. What is going on....?

IPhoto slideshow using mini-dvi to video adapter

When using the mini-dvi to video adapter to connect to my widescreen tv (via composite), to show iPhoto slideshows, the transistions between slides dont apear and there are no ken burns effects. The slideshow runs fine on my MacBook display (ie when not conected to the tv), and the is no other distortion or flickering (as reported in other threads), this seems odd to me or is it just a limitation of analogue output.
2Ghz MacBook, White Mac OS X (10.4.7)

It means that the issue resides in your existing Library.
Option 1
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. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
