Creating blank slide in slideshow

Is there a way to create a blank slide for a slideshow in iPhoto? A few weeks ago, Old Toad made a reference to doing this for his slideshows, but I wasn't sure if this was an option available just in iDVD.

Use an application that will let you give the background a color if you don't want a blank white slide. Any freeware image editor can create a new, blank canvas of any size you decide and can add color to it before saving as a jpg. A couple are Acorn and Seaside. Some text editors will also let you change the background color. The the print to pdf method that Terence mentioned will get you want you want. You can even create title slides that way.

  • Blank slides in slideshow

    I am using photoshop elements 5 to make a slide show.  After previewing it there were many RANDOM slides where the picture was no longer there, just a COMPLETELY BLACK SLIDE.  How do I recover these? I spent a lot of time doing this and someone needs it asap.  I cannot possibly remember which pictures were in all of the spots. please help....thanks!

    When you save the slideshow, you are saving the current timeline edits, the images are not saved into the slideshow (just like they are not saved into the Organizer). Your slideshow is not made permanent until it has been exported as a video file or PDF.
    The slideshow is part of the Organizer catalog (the database that keeps track of your files). You can sent your catalog from one version of Elements to another (as long as that other version is newer that where it is coming from). In the new version, go to File > Catalog and click the Convert button. You will be given a list of catalogs (if more than one is available). Select the one you want and convert it. This will bring the database (which includes your images and slideshows) into the new version.

  • Blank slide when scroll a web page

    hi
    when i tried to capture a web page and i scroll down, the programm just creates blank slides. i tried several times in different computers but it always did the same.
    what am i doing wrong?
    thanks

    Since you've raised it as an issue, I guess that you're getting the blank page instead of the scrolled down page, rather than in addition to it? And that you're using automatic recording, not full motion recording?
    For some reason your browser is indicating a change when it starts to redraw the content, but not after.
    Easy solution: listen out for the camera shutter sounds as Cp takes an automatic capture, and if you're not sure that the screen has fully redrawn itself when you hear the sound, just press the button to manually grab a screen - by default it's PrtScrn.

  • 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.

  • How do I create a slide from the Places map for slideshow in aperture 3

    I would like to create a slide with the places map, like the photo journal in books, in my slide show. Has anyone done this and how did you do it? Thanks

    Can I suggest that a screen grab using the selection tool in 'Grab' might work, and importing that image into your library might suffice.

  • Newbie Here - How to Create a Slide Show in CS5?

    I am using Windows 7 and I am familiar with PSElements 8 where creating a slide show is easy.  I just want to create a slide show in CS5 (in Bridge??  View>Slideshow Options?) using vacation photos from several folders, and I want to order them manually.
    First, I can't figure out how to display more than one folder in the Content panel in Bridge.  Second, I can't figure out how to create and intersperse "blank" slides with text.   Third (and I haven't even gotten this far yet), how do I save the slide show and burn a VCD?  This was all so easy and intuitive in PSE8, I can't believe it seems nearly impossible in CS5! 
    As an alternative, should I simply re-save the photos as JPEGs (they are PSDs now), export them to a Desktop folder, open them in PSE8 and create the slide show there instead?   Thanks for any help and suggestions!

    1) Bridge has a new feature (can't think of the term at the moment) but it works like instancing or virtual copies. Select all of the photo's that you want and place them in the "collection" (Ah I knew I would think of it) Move to another folder and move them into the same collection and so on. These are virtual copies in that they don't really exist, but are a link to the original images. You then can use the collection for the slide show.
    2) Just create a page same size as your photo's in photoshop with what ever color background and put your text on it.
    3A)The slide show can be exported as a pdf or swf. Windows can then copy the file to a cd. If you choose swf, you may need to alter the html file (I assume it generates one, if not it isn't har to create one) The html file would help the web browser determine the correct size to display at. If you have flash, it can be used to create a html file as well.
    3B)If you would like the slide show to be displayed on a tv screen, then your cd/dvd will need to use a format that your dvd player can play, mp2 is the standard, but some can display jpg's, some are blue ray, etc. For exporting into the correct video format, then one of the following can be used. After Effects, Premeire pro, Encore, Photoshop (If you have quicktime installed and you are using one of the formats that quicktime supports like mp4)
    If you have quicktime installed, paying the 20 bucks may be worth it as it will allow you to take your jpg images and generate an animation file as avi or mov. But can save as mp4 as well.
    4) In Bridge you can select all of the images and run image processor on them. This plug in is part of photoshop there fore it will be in the menu's under photoshop. It will let you specify the files size, format and any actions, etc. It will then place them all into a folder that you specify.

  • How do i add a  blank slide

    How do i add a blank slide and text?

    In the slide show album
    As Frank said,   only you have to pick a slideshow Theme that will allow it (Classic, Ken Burns).  For example, in the "Places" theme these options to insert blank slides will be grayed out (in Aperture 3.4.3), since this theme creates its own titles based on the locations. Switching between themes will not help. Title slides inserted using another theme will simply be removed.
    With "Places" or "Reflections" the cogwheel menu will look like this: You'll have nearly no control about the slide transitions at all:
    To add blank slides to a slideshow these themes, create images with a solid black or white background by adjusting new versions of your images or creating them in an external editor.

  • Blank slides in sliding panels

    I used to be able to insert blank slides into the sliding panels theme. I did this all the time to manipulate the slideshow to display the way I wanted, and to create chapter breaks. I have a few published slideshows that prove it. Now, however, the function is greyed out unless I'm in Classic or Ken Burns themes. When I open my working files of those published slideshows all the places where the blank slides were (originally black to match the background) are white boxes. Anyone have any idea what happened?

  • Adding a blank slide with text

    In iPhoto I have created a slideshow that works well. However, I would like to seperate some of the slides into groups by adding a blank slide with text, is this posible?
    Wrongray

    Actually you need to do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto. That will create a jpg image file of the document and import it into iPhoto where you can use it in the slideshow.
    You can also use a 3rd party image editor that can handle text, or one of the iWork applications if you want a fancy title slide.
    Some Image Editors that support layers and text:
    Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac - $79
    GraphicConverter - $45
    Rainbow Painter - $30
    Acorn - $50
    Pixelmator - $60
    Seashore - Free
    GIMP for Mac - Free

  • How do I create a slide show in iPhoto from an iCloud photo stream

    ow do I create a slide show in iPhoto from an iCloud photo stream?

    Do you mean from a Shared Stream or My Photo Stream?
    In iPhoto on your iPhone, iPad you create slideshow projects by selecting photos and then sharing them as a new slideshow. http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnkbc26e276
    You can publish your slideshow in iCloud:  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2333
    In iPhoto on your Mac you can make an instant slideshow by selecting the photos in the photo stream and pressing the slideshow button, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2333

  • I created a 23 minute slideshow with music. how can I share it? youtube and smugmug both say it is too large?

    I created a 23 minute slideshow with music of family vacation. Youtube and smugmug both said it was too large to post for my family.
    suggetions please?? I use to use Mobileme...

    A few different ways about this. You could split the slide show into smaller sections that are withi the limits for posting and then post each section.
    You could try a different encoding to make the file smaller. What settings did you use when you created and exported the slide show?

  • What is the best program to create a HD 1080p slideshow?

    A little advice on what the best program is for creating high quality HD (1080p) slide shows from hires jpegs.  I'm not at all interested in burning the slideshows to DVD.
    Until now I've used iMovie HD 6, iMovie '09, and  iPhoto on our mac mini that runs SnowLeopard. 
    With iMovie  HD 6 the transitions (cross dissolve and overlap) come out quite un-smooth look bad.  Also HD 6 will not do 1080p, only 1080i.
    With iMovie '09  photos that are portrait oriented (as opposed to landscape) often get poorly cropped. 
    iPhoto simply does not have the editing flexibility I need.
    I've tried the demo version of Fotomagico and although the resulting slideshow is stunning, on my machine the program is almost impossible to work with because of its sluggishness.  It is painfully slow in responding to all mouse moves. Dragging an image on the Stage is very difficult because the image lags behind the mouse so by the time the little green alignment guides come on to show center or edge alignment -- the image is already past that point.  There is also a huge lag changing images on the stage.   Also the spinning color wheel appears way too frequently.
    Photo to Movie, based on their website, Photo to Movie can produce HD quality video.  Does anyone have any experience in comparing Photo to Movie with any of the iMovies?
    Other than FCP, what do you folks think is best slideshow program for producing 1080p shows?

    Ditto what Matthew said about Photo to Movie.
    There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
    If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
    Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
    http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
    (Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico:  http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
    Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
    Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie  as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast,  for burning.
    You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
    To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

  • I would like to create a slide show and then burn to a DVD.  I may be interested in adding music.  Should I use iPhone, iMovie or a simple Powerpoint?

    I am going to be creating a slide show and then burning it to a couple of DVDs.  I have used PPT in the past for simple slide shows for speaking engagements, but I am interested in adding music to this slide show.  What is the best/easiest application to use?  iMovie, iPhoto or Powerpoint?
    Thanks!
    Mike

    burning it to a couple of DVDs
    Is it your intention to create video DVDS that can be played on TV sets via DVD players?  If so you'll need a video DVD authoring application like iDVD.
    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago. 
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them. 
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
