Create Slideshow with Movies?

I have about 750 pictures and 100 movies in iPhoto, organized into albums, that I'd like to burn a slideshow DVD out of. However, I can't find any way to do it automatically. The only way I've come up with is to import them one by one into iMovie, however, with almost 1000 items, that doesn't sound appealing. Is there any easier way to go about this? Does iLife '06 have the ability? (I ordered a copy earlier this week.)

Not as I have found,
iMovie will allow editing
iDVD will do transfere
leme know if you succeed...

Creating slideshow with AVI movie files in iDVD 06?

Today I was trying to create a slideshow movie with iDVD. I had some AVI movie files that came from my Canon digital camera. I wasnt able to drag them into the slideshow well, so I thought I had to convert them to a .mov file, after converting them I still wasnt able to use them. Is it possible to make a slideshow with movie files as well as pictures in iDVD 06? I know for a fact that I can do this on iDVD 08, so is it possible? thanks in advance.

Slideshows using movies is just an iLife '08 thing.
I suggest you do what I do. Use VisualHub to convert the AVI slideshows to DV video movies. The DV video will work great in iDVD 6 when put on a menu page.

How to play a slideshow (with movies) from Iphoto to Apple TV second gen

Hi,
Does anyone know how to play a slideshow with movies, that I normally play perfect with Iphoto (I even can add music)to let it stream to the Apple tv second gen?
So I have some movies on Imac from a holiday in Egypt and Iphoto alows me let it play as a movie.
How can I setup my Apple TV so that it is the same on my Apple TV? So with nice fade ins and outs?
Thanks

Ok Thank you, but I have one more question.
The Iphoto library is loaded with different movies and Photos. They are sorted by date.
Is there a possibily to make folders in Iphoto. So that I have on folder called for example "vacation Egypt" and put all the movies in this folder within Iphoto?
And then when I select this map it will make a slideshow from all this movies with music? Just like in Iphoto?

Creating Slideshow with audio

Hello!
I'm working on a Flash CS3 file (with Actionscript 3.0) and
I'm trying to create a slideshow with an audio track. I have 12
slide images and a 12 minute long audio presentation. I want to
pause the images for variable times during the presentation - 20
seconds during the first slide, 60 seconds for the second slide, 80
seconds for the third, etc. I've been able to write a script that
loops along the timeline for the given time over the image then
moves on to the next slide image. It works great if I don't want to
pause and restart the movie, but I'd like to do that.
I've been able to create a single button that pauses and
plays the sound. Here's the tutorial I used to create this:
http://twf23.wordpress.com/2008/02/06/start-and-stop-sound-with-actionscript-30/
But, I cannot get it to pause the timeline at the same time.
I can create a separate button that stops and starts the timeline.
I want one button to do both. It seems like I should be able attach
a function to the play_mc clip that also pause the timeline.
Eventually this will be a template for other such
presentations - where I can swap out the images and the audio thus
creating a PowerPoint-like slideshow for distribution on the
Internet.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
iMovie is a very straightforward way to do this.
Import your sound and your images, stitch them together and then export them in an iPod compatible format.
Job done.

Creating slideshows with FCE

Hello everybody
In this thread I'm not really seeking resolve to a problem but, more to the tune of,
" What is lacking or missing ? " , Please let me explain, For over a year now I have been creating slideshows from stills. I cant really recall the very first app I used but, I graduated to Photo to Movie before to long. PTM did a good job but, yet something was missing to satisfy my taste so. I ran out and bought FCE and, have now been creating exclusively with FCE.
Now I'm creating all my shows using PSD files coupled with motion graphics, overlays, lower thirds so forth and so on... I have create some rather impressive shows that have amazed those who have seen them to this point. Yet, I feel I have not fully satisfied my creativity.
I have googled slideshows till I'm blue in the face, seeking examples and or direction that may satisfy
my creativity. Every site I have seen that creates these shows, create them in my opinion, a very generic way....
I have yet to use any form of plug-ins, I have only been using the filters and effects in FCE, maybe that is what I'm lacking but, plug-ins really pertain to actual video , not stills ...
The direction I'm taking this thread and, the questions I have are.
What have some of you done for dressing up slideshows ?
What other apps may you have used in creating ?
What plug-ins if any have you used ?
If you know of a site that has awesome examples could you please post a link ?
Thank you all in advance for any and all help you may offer ....

_Currently I’m working on a project where 9 stills are dropped onto the screen like cards thrown across the table, each still has an independent pan._
Thats an awesome idea really, I just created a title similar to yours . I used it to introduce the family
I'm creating the slideshow for.
_Photo To Movie type apps will do anything like that._
PTM is a good app, it's really geared up for simplicity. When I first started with PTM , I bought it with the intension of importing into FCE. However, after learning how to work with stills in FCE, there really wasn't a need for PTM. If PTM was capable of adding motion graphics as backgrounds, I would have a lot more use for it. The lack of this capability forces you to export in an animation .mov , rather than .DV NTSC , this is a big drawback. Even if I wanted to use PTM just to set my stills and, add my motion, the rendering and, re-rendering in FCE just is not worth the haste.
_I have found my best slide shows are a combination of music that really fits the theme and a good Ken Burns effect. Music moves the soul._
This is very true, I have taken it a step above this and, have started adding sound effects to my transitions, not to all of them, but to a selected few. I personally feel that adding sound effect to al of them, would be to much. The hard part for me on this is , finding just the right sound effect. I need to start toying more with Garage Band and, see if I can just create the needed sounds.
_I think the main problem is one of all artists. While I am creating it, it is my best work ever. When it is viewed by other people, they are always floored. But if I watch it a day later, it looks like a piece of poo, there was always something I could have done better or a certain something was missing._
This is all very true, I face that problem with everything I have created. Seems everyone I create I learn yet another trick of the trade and saying , " This is going to be awesome, my best yet ". Completion day comes I burn to DVD, then I nit pick it to death.
I'm very artistic and creative by nature, I know I have always been my own worst critic. If one was to ask me today how I feel, about my progress in my work. I would have to say I feel I'm about 10% of where I would like to be.

Creating Slideshow/Instrutiional Movie With Narration

Thanks for any input. I've been reading for two days trying to find the best way to do what seems like an easy task. iMovie and Photo To Movie's both have dramatically less quality than the slideshow QT export using iPhoto. However, changing the photo timing is very limited in iPhoto. Apple tells you so little about Quicktime Pro it's difficult to understand what it will and will not do.
In QT Pro can I:
1) move/slide each still photo's display timing along a time line (much like editing clips in iMovie) and change the duration of each photo (stretch, etc.)
2) edit and move pieces of the audio (i understand this may be a bit of a chore in QT Pro). I can use Pro Tools or Audacity if necessary then import the audio.
thanks.

You can only either "Add" or "Add to Selection & Scale" when inserting images formats into an audio timeline. Add only inserts a single "frame" (your image) so you would want to add to selection. The "scale" part allows that single image to "fit" the selection. Still only one "frame" but now it occupies the "time" of your audio track selection.
You set in and out points (right left arrow keys move one frame at a time) to make a "selection".
If you don't like the results QuickTime Pro has a multiple "undo" command (Command-Z).
Just like video the audio track can be cut, pasted, deleted and copied in QuickTime Pro. You can "copy" a selection and paste it into a new Player window to make another file or add that same selection to the existing file.
QuickTime .mov files can have up to 99 tracks and you can "flatten" them all into one new file via export so you could have millions of image only files in one .mov container.

Cannot create slideshow with high frame rate

I have just bought QuickTime Pro version 7. I am using Windnows XP SP2 on a Pentium D machine.
I am trying to create a movie with still images I captured from my digital camera. I created a 10 seconds slideshow and set the frame rate to 30 frames per second. I then saved the file as a Quicktime movie. When I played the movie with my QuickTime Player, I could see actions for the first two seconds only. After that, the picture didn't change eventhough the progression bar was moving. Once the movie reached the end, the player then changed the frame to show the last picture of my slideshow.
In short, only the first 60 images are shown in the first 2 seconds. Then the slideshow was stuck with the 60th image, until it changed to the 300th image at the very end.
Does anybody has the same experience? Did I do anything wrong?

One more thing. If I set the frame rate to be less than 10 frames per second, it works fine. It just won't work with high frame rate.

Combining slideshow with movie clip?

Hello
I have about 20 good quality photos and a one-hour movie clip that I would like to combine. The final product will go on a DVD. All the photos will appear before the movie, which is a 25 fps PAL standard. I think that means the frame size is 720x576. The photos are a little more awkward because while most are landscape in orientation, a few are portrait.
Would it be best to create a slideshow for the photos in Elements Organiser, followed by the video clip, or would it be best to import each photo along the Pre Elements Timeline to be followed by the video clip? Can a slideshow created in Organiser be imported into the PrE Timeline? It is important that the transition from one to the other is seamless, and it is essential that I can have a soundtrack to accompany the photos.
Finally, if I may, given the frame size of the video, what size should the photos be? The originals are quite large at the moment.
Thanks for any advise which I will follow closely.
Steve

Steve
You say that your source is PAL standard @ 25 frames per second.
If the project preset is set to PAL NTSC Standard, then you should not have any black borders when you import that file into the
project set with the PAL NTSC Standard project preset.
Because of your black black borders in the monitor display of the import, I suspect that your source is really PAL DV Widescreen and not PAL DV Standard.
So, to correct that, then we start again with the settings, and this time set the project preset for PAL DV Widescreen for the import side of things.
And, then, for the export side of things, use
Publish+Share
Disc
DVD
with Presets = PAL_Widescreen_Dolby DVD.
The "Default Scale to Frame Size" will have the project automatically scaling your import image to the frame size specified by the project preset....
If PAL DV Standard 720 x 576....if PAL DV Widescreen 720 x 576 stretched to about 1050 x 476 by a 16:9 flag, giving the display resolution for PAL DV Widescreen.
about 1050 x 576.
Please check it out, and determine if that works for you.
Thanks.

Slideshow with movie clips

How do I/can I create a slideshow button but within the slideshow drag in some short movie clips?

Hi NototiousIG - and welcome from me as well!
What you want to do is not that hard.
I would suggest that you make the slide show, with the video in the middle, a seperate chapter. That will give you a Chapter Button in iDVDs sub-menu, which of course you can call what you like.
The audio can be imported from iTunes. If it is from your own CD, then convert (save) that track as an AIFF file before import (saves i bit of rendering time). If purchased from iTunes Store, you may find you have to burn it to a CD and re-import it to iTunes before it will import into iMovie.
When it comes to burning the finished DVD, you may find that the rendering of audio takes longer than anything else. This is normal - don't panic, do not shut down iDVD in desperation, and do not have any other application running at the time.
One last word of advice: be careful what transitions you chose between a still photo and the video. A bit of experimentation goes a long way!
Post back if you need more help.

Create slideshow with NO music

Hello all.
How do you go about creating a slideshow in iPhoto 08 with NO music? I find controls for transitions, length of photos, ken burns, etc but can't find a setting to delete music from the slideshow.
Thanks much!
Mike

DUH!!
Figured it out, sorry to have bothered...guess I shouldn't be so impatient.

Create slideshow with navigation buttons

I am trying to create a type of slideshow for my website using Catalyst. It's a little different, but for the most part like the scrolling advertisment slides on hulu.com. I'm trying to make the image fade into a window, then, every 5-10 seconds transition to a different image. At the bottom I would like to be able to click buttons to go back and forth between slides (just like hulu's buttons).
I've tried to create different states and animate them, like in this sutorial video: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashcatalyst/tutorials/animate/
I also tried to search the forums.. I'm sure this was discussed before but I haven't been able to find anything. I'm sorry if this will duplicate threads.
I'm attaching the working file. As you can see I'm just using colored vector boxes as placeholders. Once I figure out the transition stuff I will replace the boxes with photos.
Thanks for any help you can provide. I'm really excited about Catalyst, seems like a dream come true for an artist/designer.. I just hope I can get the hang of it.
Nate

Hi,
I think you're on the right track with the basic transitions. The easiest thing to do to make the transitions smoothly animate is to select one state transitions in the Timelines panel, like "ad1 > ad2", and click the "Smooth Transition" button. This will stretch out the default effects to .5 seconds in that transition. You can then tweak the timing if you like.
(Unfortunately, in the current beta we don't yet have a quick way to smooth a bunch of transitions, so you have to do that for each transition for now.)
Currently there isn't a way to set up a timer to automatically switch states every few seconds--this is something you'd have to set up in code. I'll note it as a feature request, though.
Thanks,
nj

Is it possible to create subfolders with movies in them?

I have a new Ipad. On an extrenal harddisk I have folders with pictures that Ive taken from the iPhone & I use this to sync up the iPad...something like
Girls 1st birthday
Girls 2 Year Old
Girls 3 year Old
Movies
THis works great, so I have all our daughters photos nicley categorised in the folders. In the Movies folder, I have all my MP4 movies. the trouble is, that ALL of the movies are in the one foler titled MOVIES. Ive tried to create subfolders in here, but I cant seem to get this to work.
The iPad sync says "copying photo 1 of 13"...so it looks like its doing it, but when you go to view the Movies folder, the subfolders items arent there.
Any ideas?
Many thanks

Creating slideshows with Aperture

Does Aperture allow you to create a slideshow that can be burned to a CD or DVD and then viewed on someone else's Mac or PC. I'm trying to build a photo slideshow for family members. Thanks!
Steph
http://www.higgstudios.com

It does not allow for this. I think Apple assumed that we would have our customers sitting with us in the studio watching the slideshow the program generates. not very practical. After a shoot the is obviously some post production work with RAW images and then creation of the slideshows. i don't know about anybody else, but my customers are not wanting to sit around after a shoot waiting. It sure would be nice to burn a simple slideshow like the program generates to disc and mail it to them so they can review their pictures and have a keepsake. I guess *I am hoping they will fix this with the next release*. You can use iDVD (poor choice) iPhoto or imovie (a little better) or 3rd party software (MotionHD by Roxio) the best in my opinion. MotionHD is fast, easy, allows mult. images on screen and panning images is much better.
