Creating a Simple Slideshow w music as a movie for a web page.

Hi all,
I would like to create a simple slideshow with music saved as a mp4 movie for a web page. I'd like to use basic transitions like crossfades between the pictures and other fun stuff
A few questions:
1 - Would I be better of creating this in iPhoto or iMovie or Keynote?
2 - Any hints in getting started?
note: I guess I'll post this on iPhoto area also...

You are probably better off in iMovie. You will have a lot more control. With iPhoto, as far as I know, all slides would have to be the same length, and you would need to pick music from iPhoto. With iMovie, you can customize slide length, make them change on the beat, use your own music, etc.
I would use Keynote only if you want to include text and bullets where the photo is only part of the slide.

Creating a movie for a web page and making it continuously loop

Hi all! I have a client who wants me to create a slide show with 7 images at a specific size for his web page. He wants it to continuously loop. I don't know much about this. Where can I go to learn how? I can make the movie... but I'm not sure what to export it as... and what the settings should be to enable me to make it the correct size and so that it loops. Thank you!
I'm using iMovie '08 on my iMac.
PS: When I looked up online for help, all I found was how to make a movie loop on one's computer. Not on web pages.

.gif files are supported in all browsers and do not need any special "player". They are very limited in their support of colors and most Web pages rarely use them anymore.
QuickTime .mov files can be set to "loop" (as explained above). Much more colors (millions).
iMovie is the wrong tool to make your file (and it doesn't create .swf format).
QuickTime Player Pro is the tool you need. It can import an "image sequence", set the frame rate (up to ten seconds per frame) and save the file in the .mov container.

I have created an extensive slideshow w/music on my MacBook Pro iPhoto. How do I export a slideshow so that I can burn a DVD from it? "Help" does not offer info for this request, only if you want to export to another Apple device. Help!!!

I have created a lengthy slideshow with music on my MacBook Pro under Iphoto. What steps do I need to take in order to burn a DVD copy of this slideshow? "Help" does not offer info for this transaction, only if you want to export to another Apple device and it shows that you must first export to Itunes. Can anyone help me with information on just copying to a DVD? I don't want to email it or show it on another Apple device. I want to be able to burn multiple copies on DVDs as a gift...... Can it be done? I'm not real computer savvy

Connect the device to the computer.
In iTunes, select the content desired to sync.
Sync.
This is all described in the User's Guide, reading it may be a good place to start.

Can Touch be used to create a simple slideshow of images?

Can Touch be used to create a simple slideshow of images?

No, sorry, but you can, of course, produce a series of images for use in a slideshow.

Creating and saving a book for a web page

I have been able to create and save as a pdf a 100 page travel book with about 195 photos. It was 89.9 mb. I gave it to my webmaster to put on my website but it is still a 10mB file that one has to download off the internet.
my questions are...if you just want to use it as such, is there a way to make the book smaller in size,, not visual size--without losing quality in viewing = less MB? Or can one save the book in another way? (the movie version is very small to see all that is written).
any advise would be most appreciated, thanks,
tarzana

tarzana:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. While in the book mode do a Print to PDF with the Save PDF to iPhoto option selected. That will create a jpg file of each page of the book that you can use to create an iWeb photo page and slideshow or create an iPhoto Web Gallery. I also use the same method to create an iDVD slideshow with music for each book that I make as described in Tutorial #6.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Simple text edit html files will not display as web pages using Safari

How does one get Text Edit files saved as HTML to display as a web page rather than showing the code as written? It appears that somehow some sort of code generator is being invoked and causing this to happen. I am not trying to do anything complex, just simple files like "Hello World".

Hi ..
Make sure you are following the instructions as noted here > Creating a Basic Web Page
You may need to turn off all Safari extensions.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
Switch to OFF.
Then see if it reads as HTML or Hello World.

Creating Links for other Web pages within Flash C23

Hello Everyone,
First of all, I'm sure you're tired of answering the
questions regarding "Links". Although, I'm having a very
difficult time with this issue. I just purchased Flash C23,
taken all the tutorials from www.lynda.com, but
I do not find answers for linking one web page to another
within Flash C23. I have read all the answers
on this forum and still can not get my buttons to link up to
my other web pages.
I have figured out how to create the buttons, although, I'm
not doing something right when I try to link up my web
pages. You have to realize I'm coming from Adobe Golive (no
need for codes or scripts). I do not want to stop
using Flash... Can someone help?
Thank you so much, it's appreciated.

replace 'siteName' with whatever you use to target your site
in a browser. 'FranchelleDesigns' is what you named your page in
GoLive.
function loadPage(event:MouseEvent):void{
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("
http://www.siteName.com/FranchelleDesigns.html");
navigateToURL(myURL,"_blank");
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadPage);
EX: my website is
http://www.damonedwards.net
lets say I create some HTML page that I want to link to, and I save
it as, ContactMe.html... this is what I would use in flash to link
to it
function loadPage(event:MouseEvent):void{
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("
http://www.damonedwards.net/ContactMe.html");
navigateToURL(myURL,"_blank");
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadPage);

Creating A Simple Video With Music and A Picture Background

Some of you all may know that I am in a band. I am wanting to put some of my music on youtube and am wanting to make just a simple video- with the song playing in the background- and just some sort of nature picture, or only a few going in the background. I'm thinking I should use iMovie, but I haven't had a whole lot of luck figuring it out this morning, so I was wondering if anyone here could help me with the task that I mentioned. It would be so greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks So Much,
Ethan

Aluminum or not, there actually is an iMovie forum:

Good luck!

How can I create a simple chat function in a mobile app for iOS and Android

I am wondering how can I create a chat function in my mobile app creating in AIR and Flex. The chat should be similar to the one in WhatsApp.
Do you know some possible solutions?
Thank you in advance!

To enable chat messages, you need a server. The kind of server depends on the application. Do you want to create a chat like application like WhatsApp, where the server pushes messages without an active connection? Or do you have some sort of online game, where chat messages can only be transferred when the client is connected already?
I have an online game where clients are connected to a Java server at all time. From there it is pretty straight forward:
2 textfields:
- 1 line textfield for input messages
- multi-line textfield for chat history. Make sure the textfields autoscrolls to the bottom when the content changes
on enter or button push, send a socket message to the server.
the server broadcasts all messages to all clients that are subscribers of the chat group.

Creating a simple re-uusable cmd line class - suggestions for improvement

Hi all,
My first post in this forum. I have got development experience in C/C++ and am moving into Java / OOP programming style. As part of my experimentation I have been trying to create a generic class that I can use to handle all the cmd input. So far I have come up with a working (but badly written) class :
package ******; // package name hidden.
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
public class cmdinput {
     private static BufferedReader reader;
     private String data;
     public cmdinput(){
          System.out.println("Creating Cmd Input Subsystem...");
          reader = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(System.in));
          System.out.print("Done... Please Enter Your Input: ");
     public String getData(){
          try{
               do{
                    data = reader.readLine();
                    if(data == null || data == "quit"){
                         System.out.println("done");
                         return null;
                    return data;
               }while (data != "quit");
          catch (IOException ioe){
               ioe.printStackTrace();
               System.out.println("Exiting");
               return null;
}The basic idea is that the class should be able to handle all BufferedReader operations including closing it elegantly when the code exits. I need a way of closing the BufferedReader object that makes sure that once all the data processing (i.e. echoing back string variable, until "quit: is read in) is finished it closes the stream and the object. I tried using a finally block to close the reader stream, but that would mean it would close the reader everytime the getData() method returns a value, which is not what I want. Ideally I would like a way to signal externally, that now I am finished using the input operations, please close all active input streams.
Any suggestions/comments appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
radiorx

Apologies for asking a stupid question. I found out that a class exists to do the exact same thing that I am trying to do: Scanner
I always wanted to know the equivalent C/C++ scanf() method in Java! Guess I know one more thing about Java.

Syncing music, podcasts and movies for iPhone

I want to manually manage my music and movies but sync my podcasts. Is this possible? Once I change one setting it changes the rest to what I do not want.

If you put your ipod in manually manage then all content that can be used in that capacity e.g. music, movies, tv shows, podcasts, books, has to moved in that manner. the only thing that will sync automatically in manually manage is applications.
-You could always use playlists if you only like certain stuff on your device. I have 16,000 songs and my iPhone obviously wont hold that much. So, i created an iPhone playlist and changed my sync preferences so that only the one playlist syncs to the iPhone when i plug it in.

Creating a gif Title for a Web Page

http://www.coachinginroads.com/dev/public_html/index3.html
I am trying to create a slide show where the image changes behind the title "Coaching Inroads." The title needs to stay stationary, which is why I thought a transparent gif would work. The embedded image that appears in the center of image is the look I want, but am unable to create that same look in PS, as the sample that is off-center shows. The drop shadow seems to be the problem.
I had made the title in AI & imported it - w/ drop shadow - into PS. Is there a better way to do this? Or what am I missing in the Save for Web dialog in PS?
Thanks, -BArry

Save as PNG-24, not GIF.

CS4 Pro - creating a video for a web page

When encoding a project, which export settings would I choose to create a file so that I can add my video into my web site?

You'd have to check with Facebook on what technical specs they allow.
Whether or not it can be emailed will depend on your provider's limitations. Many have a 10MB file size limit for attachments, some even only 5MB. As long as the video file is less than the limit for your provider, it'll go.

HOW do I create a SIMPLE fading slideshow in dreamweaver CS5?????

I would like to have a slow fading slideshow of a few images relating to the web page that the user is on.
I have a seperate div tag, with the space 235 x 440 pixels allowed for the images. All I want is the slideshow to fade in and out of one another using 3 or 4 photos, no text, no control panel or thumbnails or any other frills, just basic good quality photos fading in a looped slideshow.
I just want that when the page loads up that the slideshow starts automatically and slowly loops continuously until the user changes page.
I have seen animated gifs from photoshop, which are no good because the image quality is awful, and in fireworks, where it comes with either thumbnails or a control panel for the user to navigate manually the images. I don't want that. Can it be done easily in flash? or does dreamweaver have an answer?
Surely there must be a simple and basic way in dreamweaver alone to just swap/fade an image with another image a few times and thats that? no?
If it can't be done in dreamweaver, PLEASE tell me which program it can be done in and how.
Many many many thanks in advance for anyone with an easily explained solution.
Ian.

Slideshows with Music in iWeb

How can I create a simple slideshow (perhaps with dissolve transitions) with music using iWeb '09 and MobileMe? The standard iWeb slideshow does not seem to have a music option. Are there good options for doing this?

I tried creating a slideshow in Keynote '09 and exported to Quicktime. I noticed two problems.
1. When I double click on the exported video file, only the audio starts playing and the screen is blank. I have to actually click inside the movie frame to get the video version of the slideshow to start.
2. There is no video controller, so the user has no way of pausing the video. Is there any way to get the controller to appear.
