Cp4: slide shows another slide during transition 'fade'

I'm using Captivate 4, and have created a project with 22 slides. Each slide has a background consisting of a screenshot of an application. No imagelayers on top of that, except for highlights and textboxes. Also, each slide contains audio and a few slides contain Flash video.
Problem: when using the transition option 'fade' from slide 4 to slide 5 (slide 5 - transition 'fade'), another slide shines through some of the white space. The slide that shines through could be three different slides, which all contain the same image.
In other words: when transitioning from slide 4 to 5, slide X (could be three identical slides) shines through the white parts for half a second.
I have tried:
- Creating a new slide within current project, with a new background and copying the highlights etc (same problem)
- Copying all slides to a new project (same problem)
- Adding blank slides before and after the slide that shines through (still slide X shines through)
- Checking for transparency (none)
- Inserting the background as a new png and merging it into the background (same problem)
- Inserting the background as a new png and showing it to the end of the slide wthout fades (same problem)
- Removing the transition altogether (works, but I need the transition!)
I have run out of options. Can anyone help me?

Hi,
Lets get this clear...
When you set Transition -- it set how the slide will appear ( basically fade-in in your case )
So your 5th slide must have Transition-Fade. Slide background will too fade in for 5th slide.
If you want that your screenshot isnt visible while slide transition you can add them as image-items and make them appear after fade completes.

Music volume slider shows "speaker" setting during "earphone" playback

A volume setting is stored for playback through the iPhone's speaker, and another for when earphones are plugged in.
I have noticed since updating to iOS 5.1 that the volume slider in the Music app sometimes displays the "speaker" level during "earphone" playback when switching between the two modes.
Although the slider displays the incorrect volume level, the playback is at the earphone setting's volume, not the displayed volume.
N.B. I have an iPhone 3GS, and the performance of the Music app has degraded with each iOS update; this seems to be due to the core software growing more complex. It is possible that there is just a very long delay between loading the Music app, it recognising the earphones are plugged in, and the volume slider widget being updated accordingly. I will report back with more clarification after more observation.

*** UPDATE ***
THIS PROBLEM IS NOT SOLVED.
I thought it was purely a performance issue that was delaying the update of the volume slider. However, I've recently observed the slider displaying the speaker volume permanently with the headphones plugged in.
Locking and unlocking the screen caused the slider to refresh.
"Discussions" does not allow me to undo the "Solve" flag above. All I can do is state that this is an open issue here.

Macbook iphoto slide show to slide projector

I am using iphoto 6 and have an iphoto slideshow that I would like to connect to a slide projector so I can project it onto a screen for a large group. How can I find out which slide projectors are compatible with my macbook and will be able to show the iphoto slideshow? Do I need to buy a special connecting cable?

I've asked the hosts to move this topic to the iDVD forum as that's where you'll get the best portential solutions to your questons. It can be done in iDVD but alternatives have been discussed in the iDVD forum many times.
OT

I made a slide show with music and random transitions in iPhoto. I can't burn it to a DVD. The burn button in iPhoto is not highlighted, and when I exported the slide show to iDVD, it lost the random transistions, and the disk won't play in DVD player.

Two problems: 1. My iphoto slide show loses its random transitions when I export it to iDVD.
2. When I then burn it to a disk, the disk will not play in a DVD player, but only on my MAC.
Any ideas?

The random transitions can only be random when played in iPhoto.
If you are in the slideshow mode and use the Share ➙ iDVD menu option a quictime movie will be created of the slideshow with the first random set of transitions and imported into iDVD. The transitions, however, will be fixed permanently and will not be changed again.
There is no way to get any sort of random behavior in an iDVD. When it's burned to disk it's locked permanently.

Multiple transitions in one slide show

When using iDVD is there a way to apply transitions onto specific slides in a slideshow so that one slide show can have multiple transitions throughout? also is there a way to control the time of each specific time - ex one should be for 5 secs and the next for 3 secs?

You may want to consider an alternate app that specializes in slideshows.

Slide show on FCP

Hi
I intend to buy FCP 5 to make multimedia presentations including a lot of slide shows and a bit of video.
One objective is to create a very hi-res movie (1600 x 1200 px) for projection from hard drive or dvd-computer. The other products are normal dvd to play on normal & hd tv.
My concerns are that I cannot test the product before buying and I am not sure FCP is the best choice to do the job.
My special requirements are :
- movie on 1600 x 1200 px screen / multimedia projector (projected on up to 24 sq m screen)
- slide shows with perfectly smooth transition effects
- pan across huge panorama (> 10000 px wide)
- zoom in/out 6000 x 4000 px image to detail in sub-window
- easy way to add images without re-calculating whole movie
- total duration of presentation 45 min (may-be linking separate movies to avoid huge file size of final movie)
- digital video in subwindow of max size of video
Is FCP the best choice and what else do I need to know?
Paul

Signage application? Never heard of that... My guess is this type of application will not handle incorporation of video clips within subwindow of the movie, but may-be I am wrong? Could you be more specific? Adobe After Effects ok, will it handle all my requirements?
One of my major problem, is that I cannot try the product before buying and make some simple tests to see if FCP will handle the job. I can not afford spending $1000 on a software that is not appropriate. Thus your feedback are extremely important to me.
I don't know much about FCP but I understand that a standard tv/dvd will not display hires images/movie (720x480 px). That's fine. The dvd I intend to deliver will handle that resolution as it will most of the time be played on a standard dvd player on a standard tv. Eventually, I can create another hd dvd if necessary.
However, I would like to keep the highest possible resolution for the multimedia projection on big screen. So here are my new questions...
1/ what is the max resulution of a 45 min movie (or a series of chained movies if that is possible) that can be played from a "fast" Apple Mac directly from the hard drive connected to an Epson video projector of max resolution 1600 x 1200 px?
2/ At that max resolution (1600 x 1200 px) how big will be the final file approximatively and will it play without problem, smoothly from begining to end? Is there any possible problem to run the dvd from a 7200 rpm 160 GB ATA hard drive?
3/ Will it be practical to work in FCP at that king of high resolution and render the slide show with cross fading transition effects for about 200-250 images (G5 2x1.7Gb @Gb RAM)?
4/ I only guess that adding an image in the middle of the movie will not affect the rendering of the whole movie but only of the concerned frames, is this right?
5/ I also guess that DVD Studio Pro is used to transform the movie into the final dvd, but for the projection movie I will play directly the mov file, is that correct?
6/ If the master movie is made at that highest resolution, can I easily save/export the movie at a lowest resolution i.e. 720 x 480 px for SD TV?
7/ I have done many slide shows in iView Media Pro, iPhoto, Flash with xml & images external files and more, but none of them are made for more "profesional" looking animations (map, subwindow, video...). So unless someone point out another package, I only think of FCP. Any other suggestion? But please do not mention PowerPoint, I am really allergic to Microoft.
8/ As I don't have a big budget now, I have to rely of my current equipment together with the best affordable software to do the job. FCP Studio 5? Adobe After Effects?

This is the Final Express forum. Try on FCP, but I believe your image sizes will exceed the resolution capabilities of FCP.

Flash Slide Show - need to convert jpgs to symbols

Flash beginner here,
I'm making a slide show, one slide at a time with alpha fades
overlapping so each image will fade in while the next fades in.
Tell me if my workflow can be improved:
1.) I imported all the pre-sized jpeg images into the library
2.) I then brought one image onto the stage and converted it
to a symbol so I could apply the alpha fade.
3.) I create a new layer and repeat the process with the next
image down the timeline with fades.
This is a slow one-by-one process. I'm wondering if there is
a better way. For instance, one thing that would have helped
streamline the process was if I could have converted all of the
images in the library to symbols in one fell swoop, let the new
symbol take on the name of the jpeg image without the .jpg
extension would have been good enough.
Also, re-creating the identical 'fade in, hold and fade-out'
routine over and over seems like it would have been better if I
could have copied that routine from one timeline and pasted it to
the next while being able to highlight that area and slide it down
the time line 100 frames, would also have helped the process.
Any tips on how I could have done it better, smarter?
TIA,
Ken

There isn't any parameter in the current code that appears to control the preloader activity, so if one could be added, it would probably be a selection of whatever interface DW provided for creating the show.
If it's any use to you, I took a couple of minutes and created a simplified swf file using the two images. It is a static piece, meaning you can't add/change images for it like the slideshow appears to support, and it does not preload, but it may pass for now... if not, the quick effort didn't kill my weekend plans.
The zip file linked here contains an html page which you can use to copy/paste the embedding code into your file, the swf file, and a javascript file that must also reside in the folder. In the html head section there are two script tags that must also be added to the html head section of your file.

PSE 9 Organizer Slide show can't find the slide show project files after moving from XP to Windows 7

A bad computer virus forced us to move all our files and programs from XP to Windows 7. The PSE Editor seems to be working properly, but the Organizer Slide Show can't find the project files. The structure of each of the 15 slide shows (blank slides) is there and any text I had added, but the pictures and music are missing. Our computer Tech is not too familiar with PSE and may not have the files in the right spot. Evidently XP and Windows 7 are organized a little differently and use different names. He still has all the PSE files from our old hard drive in a folder and probably just needs to know where to put them.

+Windows Vista has different file locations than Windows XP+
This is the problem - the iTunes ITL file from XP is using XP paths, which don't exist in Vista. Here are some directions that have worked for others:
- Copy your entire iTunes folder --- not just the iTunes Music folder but basically everything under "My Documents" - to external storage
- Copy those files to your "Music" folder on your Vista system. The end result should be that you have "Documents\Music\iTunes" on Vista, where you had "My Documents\My Music\iTunes" on XP
- Put a fresh install of iTunes on the Vista system.
- When you run iTunes for the first time, hold down the Shift key. If it asks you to select a library file, pick the one you just transferred over.
- The end result should be your library, including all ratings, play counts and play lists, sitting on the new system.

Create Slide Show

I am using PE Ver 9. When I create a slide show, I select "Include Photo Captions as Text", but the text does not appear. The very first time I tried this it worked, but not since. Also, is there a way to control the text size and font for the captions in a slide show? I also have trouble with the way a slide show orders my files. I have named them in such a way that they sort properly when sorted by name in Windows Explorer. When I create a slide show, the slides are not in the same order. Do I need to rename all the files to get the sort order I want?

I'm not sure why your captions are not showing up. How are you adding the captions to your images?
Yes, you can change the size, font, color, an several other characteristics of the caption text. Simply click the text to select it and you will have options under the Properties panel on the right. If you are asking if there is a way to change them in bulk, I'm afraid the answer is no.
The slides will appear in the order that they are displayed in the Elements Organizer. It does not look at the order of the files in Windows Explorer, nor does it depend on the names of the files. The Organizer displays images based upon the age of the image, oldest or newest first. If you click the Display button in the upper right, you can switch to Folder Location view, which will put the images in alphabetical order. The down side to this is you can only see the images from a single folder at a time. So if your images are in multiple folders, this will only get you part of the way. You can also create an Album, which allows you to customize the order of images anyway you want, but it all has to be done by hand.

Blank slides show up in slideshow

I have created several slides. When I play the slide show, blank slides show up between the slides that I created. What gives?

Wow, thank you.
These are not rouge, they are consistent between each slide in the presentation. All my slides are on the standard grey-to-black (black to grey?) gradation. Let's see if I can explain better:
Slide 1 says "my name"
Slide 2 says "I have candy"
Slide 3 says "What do you need?"
In presentation mode, slide 1 loads automatically and holds. No problem. My next click will bring a gradation slide with no text. The next click will bring "I have candy", next click, a gradation slide without text.
If I esc at this point, Slide 3 is highlighted.
Does that help?
Thanks again.

PSE9: How do I access a slide show I have previously created?

PSE9: I create a slide show called: "Slide Show A0" but do not know how to access the file in the organizer.

Thank You
I must have done something wrong with creating the catalogue . The file does not always appear at the top. I found two methods of finding or forcing the slide show file to appear:
The slide shows are stored in a folder called: "projects".
If I create a new dumpy slide show & save it, this process the place where the slide show are stored

My Apple TV stops and returns to main menu during movie playback and photo slide show via homesharing. I have a second Apple TV in another room that works fine.

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.

Elements 10 Slide show is freezing up during transition of last image.

I am trying to make a slide show to put on a web page. The slide show runs until it is transitioning the last image and then freezes for a couple seconds and then jumps to the first image and is done. I have changed the file sizes, the number of images used and no matter what, it still won't continue into the last image. I have Windows 8...if that matters.

Thank you for helping me...I am learning a lot!
*****Are you saying that you can play back that slideshow that you created in the Elements Organizer 10 slideshow editor. What are you playing back in the Elements Organizer 10
Good question...so I tried opening it with other programs to see what would happen! I saved the file onto my desk top and can play it in Real Player, Elements, Movie Maker and Windows Media Player. So, that is telling me it must be a yahoo problem?? Is there a way in Elements to make it loop? That is what I am trying to do on my web site. I just want the pictures to continuously play.
a. the wmv video created in the slideshow edit and outputted Save As A File Movie (.wmv)? If so, what did you set as the Slide Size...Web Size or other?   Web size
b. other
How are you uploading this .wmv file to your web page?
I have Yahoo Sitebuilder. In that program, all I do is "insert" a video.   It takes several types of files...including the .wmv file.

I created a slide show on work computer. Placed photos and movies in Media Browser. Want to use another computer (laptop) to give presentation. Do I need to copy media browser to laptop or are pictures and movies embedded in slide show and can go anywhere

I created a slide show on my work computer and placed many photos and movies in my work computer's Media Browser. Want to use another computer (laptop) to give the presentation and therefore change location of slide show. Do I need to copy the media browser to the laptop or once the pictures and movies are embedded in the original slide show, can I take it anywhere and not worry about the media browser?
I also want to optimize a movie for Keynote, so it's not too large a file. Please help.

Graphic, sound and video files are copied into the Keynote file, but make sure Keynote > Preferences - include sound and movies check box is ticked.
If you have added additional fonts they will need be changed to reflect what is on the destination machine.
If the other machine has a different Keynote version, ensure the same transitions and effects are available.
