Creating Photo Slideshows w/Audio

Can FCE be used to create elaborate photo slideshows with music and can the photo source come from my photo library (not from I-Photo)?

Yes, you can use all the effects and transitions that FCE has to offer. You can use any photos or artwork provided it is on a file that FCE can import eg. .tif, .jpeg etc.
You need to watch out for interlacing artifacts and also be warned that your fantastically impressive pictures will look a little less impressive when viewed on a TV.

Creating photo slideshow in iMovie 09

Hi guys,
I have been given the advice to create a photo slideshow in iMovie.
So far I have manage to sort out my photos and import them using iPhone and the Finder but am now up to the stage of putting the photos in the slide show.
There are quite a number of photos and I think by using the Ken Burns effect on every slide is a little overwhelming.
Is there any way I can use any of the other effects like just a simple fade-in?

AppleMan1958 gives you some good information. I have reviewed an earlier version of the slideshow feature of iPhoto on my website and have a short sample slideshow created using iPhoto.
Here is the link to my free photo slideshow software review of iPhoto.

I also provide information on creating a slideshow, choosing the music, etc.
Good luck.

Creating photo slideshow on iPad 2

Hi all,
Brand new iPad user here and was wondering if the iPad 2 has the capability of creating your own photo slideshows?
Is there an app where I can do this? i.e. arrange photos, add transitions/effects, music, titles etc?
Many thanks

Yes, I already know that I can tap to get full screen view, but that is far less convenient. I want to be able to see a larger thumbnail so that I can easily select several at once to either move or delete. Thanks any way!

How to create a slideshow with audio?

Hi,
I'm using iMovie 7.1.4.
I want to create a slideshow from 6 pictures, with an accompanying audio. The pictures should show one after the other according to audio, meaning the intervals are not equal, and I need to determine each interval while listening to the audio.
How do I do it?
Thanks,
Gil.

excellent advice on Aaron's site:

Creating photo slideshows

I create a lot of photo slideshows, usually for high school graduations, sports team season wrapups, community-wide events, etc. Which prograpm in CC is best to use to easily import about 100-130 photos, set them to music with animations such as Ken Burns effect? The slideshow tool in Lightroom is a little too basic. I've used a program called FotoMagico, but it's too buggy an not precise. Any suggestions would help greatly. Someone suggested Premiere Pro, but that seems like a lot of steps to apply movement to each slide.
Thanks.

Ask in the Photoshop Elements Forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements to see what people do for making slideshows
I'm not sure, but you MAY need to buy the Photoshop Elements + Premiere Elements bundle to be able to burn to DVD

Newb help on creating photo slideshow with different music tracks

I am interested in ultimately creating a DVD for a friend with pictures of their family. I would like to have different soundtracks play with fading in and out if possible; different effects on the transitions too (if possible). With iLife I know you could just use iDVD and play 1 track in the background. I would like to try iMovie.
I couldn't find any support tutorials or information in Apple Support.
Can anyone tell me or direct me to a place that would give the steps for a slide show, adding music, and exporting to DVD?
Thanks.

Can you enlighten me on this? and what program would you recommend for this?
While this can be done totally in iMovie '08, my preference would be to add the audio using GarageBand.
1) iMovie '08 strategy: In iMovie '08, simply create your video slideshow track first. Once satisfied with the video, titles, transitions, start adding your audio. Simply drag an audio file from the media browser or "drop import" a file from the Finder and "pin" it a your video clip. Once pinned to a video clip, adjust the "in" and "out" handles to select the exact portion of the music you want and adjust the fade in/out if necessary. When you have finished with this, slide the music to align it with the video track as desired. Now repeat theses steps to add the rest of your music.
NOTE: I prefer pinning all of the music to video clips so I can control the overlap. (I.e., have one file fade out as another is fading in.) However, there is a problem if you want the music to start during a "title" segment which does not overlap the actual slideshow video. In this case you may wish to place the first music file in the background and use the "Trim Music" option to select the actual portion to play in the background since you cannot slide background music for alignment to the video.
2) If you plan to use GarageBand, share/export your iMovie '08 video only project to your hard drive and then import it to a GarageBand Podcast project. In this case, each music file can be placed in a single audio track after appropriate trimming, or occupy its own audio track/alternate between two audio tracks to allow overlapping of files if desired. I prefer GarageBand since you can control the volume of individual tracks continuously, create custom fade contours, adjust track/master volumes as a whole independently, adjust the emphasis of frequency response ranges, "pan" the music, etc. as you mix and match your "musical collage" of sounds.

Creating Photo Slideshows in FCExpress

I've been putting together slideshows for friends and family using FCE and I'm hoping that I'm fully utilizing all of the tools I have at my disposal. First of all, is FCE the best program to use for slideshows (I don't have fcpro) among the iLife extended family? I assume it is. I want to learn to do more than just the basic motion and transitions that I've learned. I've utilized the keyframes, although I haven't gotten super-complex with them yet. Here's an example of one that I just finished. While I'm familiar with the available transitions, I prefer basic cross-fades most of the time. This will show the extent of my keyframe ability so far.

Does anyone know where I can go to view demos or examples of slideshow work done on FCE. I just want to get ideas on how to do more with what I have. I just feel like anybody can do a basic slideshow with powerpoint, I need to separate myself. Thanks people.

All canned methods will tend to yield canned results.
Per your desire to "set yourself apart" from the rest, I'd say your own imagination and creativity is the best tool available to you.
See examples of other peoples work on the 'net and experiment with doing things differently and you will find your way Grasshopper.

Creating photo slideshow in imovie without any effects

Hi, When I am trying to make a photo slide-show video in imovie, every photo comes with zoom-in and out effect. I dont like that one. I just want to show photos one after another without any effect. But I couldnt find any option in imovie. Is it possible to make one?
Please give me suggestions. Thanks in advance!
Jay

Click on the small icon at the top center of any photo in iMovie. You will see the options Fit, Crop, Ken burns, Done. I think you will like the Ken Burns effect after you experiment with it a bit. If you want just plain photos, click Fit and Done.
Good luck.

Photo slideshow software

i've been using imovie to create photo slideshows, sometimes incorporating motion 4 into my projects... does anyone have a suggestion for a software that provides additional templates and design that i can incorporate with imovie? or final cut? thanks

I personally prefer using imovie because I am an imovie-holic!
It really just boils down to which application you are more familiar with. both do a great job, IMHO. Some say that the quality of the photo is better with iphoto, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder-I don't see much (if any) difference.

Windows-based photo slideshow software?

Hi,
I currently use iMovie 06 on my iMac to create photo slideshows/montages but would also like to create similar videos using my laptop (Dell w/ Windows XP). I apologize posting this on a Mac forum but could fellow board members provide me with some names of Windows-based software that is similar in nature and quality as iPhoto/iMovie to create these types of videos (and, if possible, one that does not require a huge learning curve)? I just recently came across "Memories on TV" and "muveeNOW" posted below, respectively.

How to create a photo slideshow in my movie

Hello all,
Im woking on my first movie with Premier Elements 12 and I can not figure out how to include a slideshow of pictures at the end of my movie.
Of course I can drag the photos on the timeline and use trancients in between but there is nothing I can do with the picture like editting/cut parts off, make them black/white and use movement effects for example.
Isnt this an option/included in Premiere lements 12 ?
I just bought the software but also played around with the trial of Cyberlink Powerdirector which has this handy magic function to select all pictures at once and create different/random trancirents and effects and pictures could be editted also.
This is what Im after but I can not find how to do this stuff in Premiere lements 12.
Hope someone can help me out.
Thatnks in advance

AlexSan
Do you have Photoshop Elements 12 as well as Premiere Elements 12?
What is this "movie" that the photo slideshow is going to be at the end of? A video? If so, what are the
properties of that video...video and audio compressions, frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, file extension, pixel aspect ratio?
What is your intended final product...DVD-VIDEO standard or widescreen on DVD disc, AVCHD on DVD disc, or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc?
With the above information, I will suggest some approaches that you might want to look into.
Thanks.

Creating Apple TV photo slideshow in Windows/Converting .mov to Apple TV

I have a newly purchased 160 GB Apple TV and am having some difficulty creating a slideshow. Ideally, Apple would offer iPhoto for Windows or I would own a Mac, but neither is currently true.
So, what is the best/easiest/cheapest way to create an iPhoto-esque slideshow in Windows XP? (transitions and audio track)
In my initial attempts to accomplish this task, I have created a slideshow using QuickTime. I opened a music file in QuickTime, then opened an Image Sequence in QuickTime, then copied the image sequence and Added and Scaled to the audio track. Finally, I saved this "slideshow" as a QuickTime movie (.mov). This isn't ideal, because there are no transitions and if the photos aren't all landscape it's troublesome. Nonetheless, I tried to open this QuickTime Movie then use the Export to Apple TV conversion process. Unfortunately, QuickTime basically just freezes when I try this. The progress bar never moves from 0%. Any advice here?
Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The simplest way to make a slideshow without adobe photo elements is simply to put collections of photos into folders and sync them to the tv. tv will allow you to add transitions and add a soundtrack from any music you also have synced. In the current version of tv the ending of the slideshow is a little abrupt but I'm sure it will improve in future versions.
I can't think why QT won't convert your QT (slideshow) movies, perhaps you can tell us a little about the movie. Open in QT, open the movie info window and post back the info you find there.

I have created a slideshow using i Photo. How do I burn it to disc so that I can play it on my DVD?

I have created a slideshow using i Photo.
How do I burn it to disc to play on a DVD.
I cannot access i DVD.
Is this the problem?
I have exported the slideshow as a movie quick time file.
What do I do next???

If your Mac is a new one, like mine, then it comes with a version of iLife that doesn't have iDVD and if so, there isn't an easy way to burn a DVD from iPhoto or iMovie that will play on a normal DVD player. There is quite a bit of correspondence about this, but I couldn't find a good answer, apart from this:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18460085#18460085
I ended up buying (via Amazon) a boxed version of iLife11, which has all the same software I already have, but with a copy of iDVD with it.
Seems to work well with iMovie, but at the moment, my copy of iPhoto has crashed - see:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18943719#18943719
Having only just transferred from a Windows machine to a Mac, it seems incredibly arrogant for Apple to think people don't use DVD players anymore.

How can I create a slideshow that depicts only a version of a photo rather than the original? Since the original and new versions are saved together, the aperture slideshow often choices the original rather than the desired version to display/

How can I create a slideshow that depicts only a version of a photo rather than the original? Since the original and new versions are saved together, the aperture slideshow often choices the original rather than the desired version to display.

There are two things we use the name "Slideshow" for in Aperture: a Slideshow Album, used for making Slideshows, and the Slideshow that is made. (Imho, it is a design mistake to not call the containers used to create Slideshows, Books, etc., "Albums".)
The Slideshow will use the Album Pick from any Stack. A good way to use Aperture is to promote the Image you want to regularly use (such as, for example, a Version with adjustments) to the top of the Stack. This makes it the Stack Pick, and will be the default Album Pick. If you haven't done that, you can still change the Album Pick for any Stack in a Slideshow Album. Expand your Stack(s), select the Image in each Stack that you want to be the Album Pick (and thus shown in the Slideshow), and "Stacks➞Set Album Pick". (Note the keyboard shortcut; there is also a Toolbar icon for this.) The change is immediate. The Slideshow will always show the Album Pick (or, if there is not one, the Stack Pick) for every Stack in your Slideshow Album.
