Converting a Slideshow to a movie

I recently made a slideshow in Encore and now I would like to convert the slideshow into a movie that I can download to a picture/video sharing site.
Is there a way to convert a slideshow into a movie?
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Jeff

Jeff,
What version of Encore are you using? That might allow for other options.
One method would be to Delete anything but the SlideShow, set that to Play First and do a Save_As, renaming the Project. You could then Build to Folder, and change the file extension of the resultant VOB to MPEG. You should not need to rip that, as there is no real navigation, and no Menus.
If you have a later version, you could Build to a Flash Project, and probably use that.
Good luck,
Hunt

Convert QT Slideshow to Movie?

Hi all-- I received a QT slideshow (if I'm using the right terminology there). However, Final Cut Pro doesn't recognize it, and so I have to convert it to an actual movie. Neither QT7 or QTX (not a few other third-party apps) seem able to do so. Any thoughts?

Believe it or not, Keynote did the trick. I put the video on the first slide and exported the presentation to a new QT movie (in ProRes), and it made it work!

How can I convert a Slideshow to an .m4v file?

I am trying to convert a slideshow, with audio, created with iDVD to a movie file to transfer into iMovie to be able to post on iWeb. How can I convert to an .m4v file?

You'll have to rip the iDVD disk that you burned with HandBreak or similar app and then import the resulting movie file into iMovie.

Convert iphoto slide show to mov format?

hello, I just want to ask that, can I convert iphoto slide show into mov format??? I tried to select all pics, and export them as a mov, but the problem is, in the iphoto slide show, the pics can be moved and fit the screen size, but when I i export it, the pics just set in the middle , no any effect.

1. Select the photos you want to use, and click on the +. In the window that appears, select slideshow, and give your project a title.
2. Choose your transitions and music.
3. Go to File>Export; this will create a QuickTime movie- a .mov file.
4. For information on playback, read this section from QuickTime Player Help.
_Viewing Movies at Full Screen_
You can set the screen so that only the movie is visible, not the QuickTime Player window, desktop, or other windows. This presentation setting is called "full-screen mode." (You can also set a movie to play at half size, double size, or other sizes.)
To play a movie at full screen, do one of the following:
Choose View > Full Screen.
Choose View > Present Movie, choose Full Screen, and click Play.
To quit full-screen mode, press Esc. To adjust the way the picture is sized to fit your screen, such as stretched to fit or in letterbox format, move the pointer to the top of the screen to display the QuickTime Player menu options, and then choose a setting from the View menu. The following additional options are available in full-screen mode:
Fit to Screen: The content is scaled to fill your screen as fully as possible without cropping the movie or changing the aspect ratio.
Zoom: The content is scaled and cropped to completely fill your screen in at least one dimension. This can eliminate black areas on the top (letterboxing) or side (pillarboxing) but may hide or distort the content.
Panoramic: The content is scaled to fit your screen and the outer horizontal edges compressed to avoid cropping the image.
You can also cycle through all of the available full-screen options by clicking the button in the movie controls that appear when you move the pointer.
You can also set options for all movies playing at full screen. For example, you can hide the movie controls or change the amount of time they're displayed before being hidden. To set these options, see QuickTime Player preferences.
Note: As long as "Display full-screen controls" is selected in QuickTime Player Preferences, you can make hidden controls appear by moving the pointer.
I hope this helps.

Converting iPhoto slideshow to DVD

I have created a slideshow in iPhoto consisting of appproximatly 150 images. I have used the ability to set the display time for each image to coordinate the images with the audio. Playing the resulting slideshow in iPhoto is great. I want to convert this slideshow to a DVD. Using the "Send to iDVD" option, the slideshow is first converted to a QuickTime .mov file and then automatically imported to a iDVD project, which is a nice feature. The problem is that during the conversion to QuickTime, the images and audio become 'out of sync'. Specifically the images progress slightly faster in QuickTime than in iPhoto. The slideshow, for my purposes, becomes degraded because of this anomaly. I am using the latest versions of iPhoto and QuickTime as of this writing (07/29/06).
Is there a way to compensate for QuickTime changing the display times of the images? If not, are there third party software applications (Adobe?) that can take an iPhoto slideshow and convert to DVD without having to go through QuickTime?

Converting quick time into windows movie maker

I wanted to create a basic slideshow in windows movie maker that includes video clips too. I've done this before. However, I have a video clip that was taken on my digital camera and downloaded into the computer. It is a quick time file. I am not able to import this into windows movie maker. Is there a way I can convert this? Or export it out onto my video camera thru firewire? I don't want to spend money on Quick Time Pro 7.

iDVD is the app, that comes "free" with any Mac, to author, encode and burn videoDVDs....
I'm pretty sure, your digicam came with some software, which allows the download to a Windows machine... read the manual.....
or, you ask in some Movie Maker forum?
such .mov files would be imported flawless on a Mac, but Windows?... very little support here...

Convert Keynote slideshow to MPEG

Hi,
For my grandma's 80th birthday, I created a slideshow in Keynote. Everybody loved it (hooray Apple!) and wants a copy, so I tried exporting the slideshow as a movie.
But Keynote exports the slideshow into 2 files - the movie and the audio track, both in .mov format. I'd like to combine the 2 into a single file.
Also, the final output should be in MPEG format so that my relatives can view it in Windows Media Player without having to download and install Quicktime. Yes, I know.. I tried to enlighten them, but it would be easier teaching an old dog new tricks than to teach my very unsavvy relatives.
So, what's the best way to combine the 2 Keynote .mov files into a single MPEG (or other WMP-friendly) format? The best solutions for me will involve iMovie, or Quicktime Pro, or open source programmes like ffmpegX.
Thanks for your help in advance!

Hi Kyn,
So I've had more time to play with the video and I managed to combine the audio and video tracks in Quicktime with the copy and paste technique you mentioned.
Now I need to convert it to mpeg format so that it will play easily on Windows. (The video is for my grandma, she needs it to be accessible as possible.) I've tried using ffmpegX (http://homepage.mac.com/major4) but mpeg encoding fails constantly.
Could it be my settings? I'm making a 800x600 movie. ffmpegX tells me that my best bitrate setting is 6000kbps. I've left it at NTSC framerate (29.97). Is that way too much?
Anyway else I can convert the video to mpeg? Thanks.

I have recently bought a Seagate Goflex satellite mobile wireless hard drive. I have converted some of my AVI movies to mp4 and transferred them to the hard drive, but when I play them through my iPad 2 I can hear the sound but not see the movie. Help???

I have recently bought a Seagate Goflex satellite mobile wireless hardrive , i have converted some of my AVI movies to MP4 and loaded them onto the hard drive, when I try and play them through my I pad2 I can hear the sound of the movie but not see the film, somebody please help, what am I doing wrong as I have spent a lot of time converting these movies to be able to travel with my iPad and watch them. Thank you

Unfortunately, the drive is pretty much restricted without hacking it. That is, you can't stream its content via standardized protocols like UPnP, SMB, FTP and the like. This makes you won't be able to access its content from any third-party apps otherwise capable of playing back AVI files from UPnP / SMB / FTP / WebDAV etc. sources.
While this is certainly not a recommendation (I can in no way be held responsible if anything goes wrong): you may want to consider extending the capabilities of the drive by installing the hack: http://www.hackseagatesatellite.com/wordpress/welcome/
It'll "open" the drive for third-party, AVI-capable multimedia apps like GoodPlayer, It's Playing etc. to directly play the files over the network.

ITunes 11 has converted some songs to Quicktime movie format. How can I convert them back to MPEGs? format

iTunes 11 has converted some songs to Quicktime movie format. How can I convert them back to MPEGs?

I didn't mess with the iTunes Media folder previously, so I don't think that was the cause. Anyway, I manually fixed most of the songs, but I still can't figure out how to fix the movies that became listed as songs.
Here is a screenshot of what it looks like when I click on "Get Info" for one of the movies (which has ended up in the music section on iTunes):
There is no option to change the media kind to "movie" or "video" even though it is a movie and it still plays as a movie if I press play.

Converting dvd vidoes into a .mov format

If I convert my DVD videos into .mov format files for the web, will the Quicktime player or plug in be the only available player to open these files. Basically what I am asking is does everyone have to have the Quicktime player or plugin available to open these files?

.mov is a container file form, not a compression type. You can use any one of dozens of compressors for a .mov file. Widely used are mpeg-4 and Sorenson 3. Those will both play in QT 6. H264 is also being used a lot but it requires QT 7 to be installed.
By the way, the QT mpeg2playbackcomponent will not export mpeg-2 format. It is playback only. Also, note that QT will not export sound from muxed files like mpeg-1 or mpeg-2. This freeware will export to various formats with the sound included. Note that there are both Windows XP and Mac versions of this freeware. Mpeg StreamClip

How can I convert a WMV to an MOV?

I've been trying to convert a WMV to an MOV. However, I've been getting the error "The source compression type is not supported." I've used AME to convert this file type before. Not sure how I should proceed. Any ideas?

I use this for problem clips.

How do you convert WMV files to either .mov or mpeg4?

Hi,
I just wanted to know how you convert WMV file to either .mov or mpeg 4. I can't seem to find any software that will do it.
Thanks

You can use the Quicktime plugin from Flip4Mac to get QT to understand/read WMV files.

After I upgraded to Mavericks, Quicktime has had to convert MPEG-4 videos to .mov

After I upgraded to Mavericks, Quicktime has had to convert MPEG-4 videos to .mov.... Why? Is there a way to stop that or to change the settings?

After I upgraded to Mavericks, Quicktime has had to convert MPEG-4 videos to .mov.... Why? Is there a way to stop that or to change the settings?
Your question requires more information. What does MPEG-4 mean to you? What file container and which compression formats are you referring to here? Is the MPEG-4 content "standard" or proprietary. Basically, depending on the file container and the specific content, QT X v10.3 may initiate a conversion ever where the individual data tracks are fully QT compatible. Proprietary compression formats will definitely do this. In some cases, the audio or video in one source container may simply be passed through to the MOV file while in another source container, QT X v10.3 forces a conversion of that same data track. In short, there are too many variables at this point to properly answer your question or attempt to duplicate your workflow.
