Creating Slide Show problems in Elements 10

I have Photoshop elements 10. I started to create a slide show: so selected the photos, then the show preferences from the dialogue box but when I clicked OK the Slide Show editor dialogue box did NOT appear and everything froze.  the only way out was to close the whole program. Please can you help?

If you are running Windows system then this article will help you to get started:

Although it is for PSE12, the steps are almost identical in PSE10.
Good luck.

  • Premiere Elements 7 crashes on creating slide show

    Hi Gurus,
    I use Premiere Elements 7 for about 2 years and it works fine when I need to create a film from set of video fragments.
    But I also need to create slide shows from pictires.
    For some reason PRE7 crashs on building such slide show (at least, this is valid for a long enough slide show). It happens not always on the same slide, but approximately at the same percentage of the slide show to be built.
    I run PRE7 on Windows XP, SP3 32-bit
    What may be a reason of this crash? Conflict with some other software, installed on my computer? Lacking resources (I have 4 GBytes of memory, but Win 32-bit uses only 3.25 GBytes)? Known bug?
    I tried to install the trial version of PRE9, but the result was even worse: it crashed even more quickly than PRE7. i.e. less slides were processed before the crash.
    Any suggestion that can help to solve this issue will be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ilia

    If you can handle smaller numbers of large images, but not larger numbers, it is likely a resource issue. It could be RAM, Virtual Memory, or similar.
    This ARTICLE might be helpful for setting up your computer for an editing session, and freeing as many resources, as is possible. This ARTICLE discusses Virtual Memory.
    PrE 9 will have about the same resource requirements, or might use a bit more, so a large number of large still images will remain a problem.
    Good luck,

  • How do you create a 800 x 200 pixell slide show with Photoshop Elements 8?

    I have a banner for a web page that measures 800 x 200 pixels. I would like to create a slide show in the whole volume but I have been unable to discover where to change the standard size of the slide show window to 800x200 in Elements 8. Can anyone help?
    Al

    Many thanks for your reply. I edited a series of photographs to 800x200 as
    you described and then attempted to create a slideshow in Slideshow editor.
    I get a good horizontal fit in the slide frame but there are black bars top
    and bottom since the frame is more than 200 pix high. My question really is
    how do I create a 800x200 slide frame that the edited photographs will fit.
    Subject: How do you create a 800 x 200 pixell slide
    show with Photoshop Elements 8?
    In the slideshow editor interface click once on your image in the main
    window - you will see a bounding box appear together with editing options.
    Click on the More Editing button and when your image opens in full edit
    select the crop tool.
    Set width to 800 px and height to 200 px and resolution to 72
    Drag out your crop rectangle and move your image to the position you want -
    this avoids image distortion but you will sacrifice parts of the original to
    create a banner.
    Press Ctrl=S to save and check version set to save an edit without affecting
    the original.
    Press Ctrl+W to close and your cropped image should automatically pop up in
    the slideshow editor.

  • Best way to create slide shows in PE4 and PSE 6

    What's the best way to create a fancy slide show in PE 4 and PSE 6? I need to create a slide show of about 600 pictures. I'm on Windows XP with 3gb RAM. I've done this a few years ago in earlier versions of PE and PSE. Before i plunge into this again i wanted to get some overall guidance for what to do or not do.
    My ultimate goal is to create a slide show that:
    1. uses pan and zoom on every photo
    2. transitions between every photo
    3. has an audio track
    4. has some nice special effects -- words and graphics that appear on slide at precisely the right moment to match the song, and stay on the screen as one slide transitions to another. i want the text to be able to move and fade in and out.
    My view is that it's easy to accomplish #1-3 in PSE 6; it's quite simple to create a slide show, add pan and zoom, and transitions. However, #4 is not doable because adding text and graphics can only be done on a slide at a time and only when the slide start/stops (i.e., you can't have text appear 2 secs after the slide has started displaying and stay on screen while the next slide appears). Need PE 4 to do that.
    What i'm wondering is:
    -- is it best to create the basic slide show in PSE6 and then export to PE 4 to do the final fancy stuff, or is it best to just create the show in PE4? Seems that doing the pans, zooms, and transitions are easiest in PSE 6.

    eric,
    I am going to offer some reasons NOT to start this slide show in Photoshop Elements. This is despite the fact that I have used the workflow of starting in Photoshop Elements and used the Send Slideshow to Premiere Elements in PSE5 - PE 3 and PSE7 - PE7.
    1- Timing differences between the PSE and PE slide show construction and processing
    There are many differences in timing between the two products. Transitions can start/end slightly offset from their timing in PSE once they arrive and are processed in PE. Same for pan and zoom. Does this matter? Well the more precise your timing, the more potential for a show stopper.
    Example: one person who wanted continual motion using pan and zoom needed to go modify the transition positioning and the keyframing of the pan/zooms on every single slide after sending a slideshow from PSE to PRE.
    2- your requirement to
    "words and graphics that appear on slide at precisely the right moment to match the song, and stay on the screen as one slide transitions to another. i want the text to be able to move and fade in and out."
    You can't really sync the audio to a slide in PSE. The text can't move or fade in/out. I think that it will be more grief to retrofit these functions to a slide show that was created in PSE than it will be to do the all the work in Premiere Elements.
    3- "Add the sound track for the ENTIRE slide show (this will be longer than i currently have slides for because i don't have all the photos"
    I am suspicious that adding the ENTIRE sound track in one PSE slide show will not work.
    I have done multiple sends from PSE slide show editor to Premiere Elements. However, I decided on the approach of using no audio in the PSE slideshow editor and adding Audio in Premiere Elements AFTER sending all the slide shows.
    Again, your objective of syncing specific photos to music points is good artistically - but I am concerned that it will make your PSE to PRE workflow problematic.
    4- "as new photos arrive, do the arrangement/pans/zooms in PSE and move them to PE"
    As Steve mentioned when you do subsequent sends of the slideshow, it appends to the end - does not seem to fit your objective of replacing part of the middle.
    Also if you get new photos in for the second section of the slideshow - but over in Premiere Elements you had already made other changes in the second section. There is no function to combine new changes doen in PSE and changes done in PE for that same "section" of the slideshow.
    5- you did not say whether you will be outputting this slide show in Full Screen or Widescreen format. Will you be burning a DVD? If you will be doing widescreen output, additional problems with specifying pan/zoom in PSE have been identified on various forums because the PSE pan/zoom boxes are not widescreen aspect ratio.
    Conclusion:
    Some of my comments here are definitely subjective - however, it is my overall conclusion that your objectives and work plan are not a good fit for the Photoshop Elements slide show editor to Premiere Elements workflow.
    My perspective on the Photoshop Elements slide show editor is that it is designed to simple, quick and easy. Therefore it has limitations.

  • Burning a DVD slide show on Premiere Elements 8.0

    I am trying to burn a slide show on Premiere Elements 8, but when I try to save the slide show before burning my computer crashes.  I've got Windows 7.  My understanding is that Premiere Elements 7 and Photoshop Elements 7 do not work with Windows 7. I had both of those programs, and got Premiere and Elements 8 to remedy the problem to no avail.  My computer still won't save the slide show.  Any hints?  Thanks.

    As per my understanding, you created a slideshow in PSE organizer and now want to burn into DVD using Output dialog which launches PRE...
    Which application crashes and at which step??
    Through PSE you can output the video into PDF or Video...

  • Creating Slide Shop in Photoshop Elements

    I want to import a large number of approximately 500 digital images into Photoshop Elements and create a slide show. When I import the images from the Windows Explorer folder, the order of the images is different from my order arrangement before importing. This is a matter of a lot of images that have been rearranged. I have tried Multiple Image Processing to put the desired images in numerical order, but this does not help. Does anyone know how to retain the image order when importing into Photoshop Elements (or either Premier Elements)? Thanks

    >Does anyone know how to retain the image order when importing into Photoshop Elements (or either Premier Elements)?
    Do you have all of these images files for the slide show in the same Windows folder? And does the file name sequence designate the order in which you wish the photos to be shown in the slide show?
    I am guessing that the answer to both questions is yes, because that is usually the case when people have prepared photos for a slide show before they import the photos to Elements.
    For Photoshop Elements,
    - start a
    b Collection
    to contain these photos for the slide show. Use Collection tab next to the Tag tab and do a New Collection.
    - in the photo well that shows all the thumbnails, look in the lower left hand corner for a pull down box and choose
    b Folder Location View
    - find the folder that contains these photos within the folder location view and multiple Select all of the photos within this folder
    - place these photos in the Collection by dragging and dropping the Collection icon on one of these selected photos. (Note all of these photos for the slide show must be selected at the same time while in the folder view) ,
    - to display just the photos of that Collection, click on the box next to the Collection name
    - select all the photos of the Collection and use the Create icon to start the slide show process.
    With this process your photos then take their sequence for the slide show from the sequence of the Collection, which will actually be the file name sequence you created in that folder. (However, If you add more photos to the collection at a later time they add to the end and you will then need to drag and drop the new photos to the position you wish them to be.)
    For Premiere Elements,
    Still presuming that your answers to my questions at the beginning were yes and you have a file name sequence, I think that you can add that folder to the Premiere Elements Media Panel. When you do the Create Slideshow dialog, I think that Premiere Elements uses the file name sequence to determine the sequence of the slides.
    Two general considerations
    1 - whether you make the slide show in Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements, you should make the choice for default slide duration and for default transition before you start making the slide show. This is especially important for Premiere Elem where you can not do a blanket change on all slides.
    2- with 500 slides, you will potentially need to downsize the resolution of your photo files before making the slide show in either product. Suggest that you post typical pixel dimensions or the megapixel resolution of your photo files. Also, what do you anticipate will be the duration of your slide show ? Will you write it to a DVD and play it on a TV?

  • Newbe requests help with audio for slide-show on Premiere Elements 4.

    I recently wrote you regarding a problem I was having with a slide show I was making on Premiere Elements 4 importing photo clips and music from PhotoShop Elements 9.  Thank you for your help.
    This very large slide show, some 200 clips that I have not resized is completed.  I am now having many problems with the music audio I am adding to various sequences of the slide show.  Specifically:the audio will not stay fixed on the places where I put it and end it.  Working on the Timeline Usually the length of the audio is shorter than the ending of the photo clips where it must go.  I click on the audio and stretch it and end it at the place I designate.  However, the other end has moved also so now I am left with a gap where there is no audio at the beginning of the segment.  Now in addition, the "Delete and Close Gap" does not work most of the time causing me to manually move the photo tiles which sometimes move when this happens.  I have to move each one or two individually to the left to close the gap and many times this causes loss of one or two photo tiles or they are out of order or have increase in number (of the one I am moving).
    The program has also shut down for the past 10 days causing me to lose a good deal of work and sometimes photo clips and sometimes I get many duplicates of the photo clips.  All I do is edit mostly the same two segments doing this over and over because I can't proceed to importing any more music because I can't get the first segments correct.  I have chatted with you people, Sony techs, Microsoft Techs and Canon Techs.  The Sony techs suggested the program was at fault and I used the original installation disk and repaired the program.  It has still shut down on me but not as much.
    I got error messages on the photo-cap instructions page you suggessted otherwise I would show pictures of the above problems.
    I tried to copy and/or cut and paste from the Timeline thinking I would start a new slide show in PhotoShop Elements 9 using the same photos in reverse.  The program would not let me copy or paste.  There is great difficulty in highlighting the photo tiles in Timeline because I have to shift click on each individual tile and there are too many tiles and it would take too long to get a whole segment copied.  Maybe you know another way to do this?
    I am at a stand-still now and I am quite despondent because I have been working on this slide-show for 3 months and it was a surprise for my daughter's 25th anniversary that was last Tuesday.
    I do hope you have some good suggestions that will lelt me complete this Project and get it on a disk.  I am not that technical so please be specific.
    Thanks in advance.

    Here's the basic advice I'd give, based on my experience. Much depends, though, on your goals and the specifics of your computer system:
    1) Resize all of your photos to no larger than 1000x750 pixels in size. This is VITAL if you want the program to maintain stability as you work. Also render often (by pressing the Enter key). When the render, the red lines above the clips on your timeline will turn green and the program will run much more efficiently.
    2) Work on your large slideshow project in shorter segments. You've got over 15 minutes worth of slides. Try working on this slideshow in 5 minute segments, output each segment and then combined the finished videos.
    3) Use only WAV audio as your music and audio for your slideshow.
    4) When you add video, audio or stills to a parallel track on your timeline, hold down the Ctrl key to override the ripple function and your current clips will remain in place.
    5) Maintain your computer by using a tool like the excellent, free, one-click Advanced System Care available at http://www.iobit.com/advancedsystemcareper.html
    As for Delete and Close Gap, how it performs depends on whether you've selected Clear or Delete, whether you've pressed the Backspace key or the Delete key and if there is video or audio on a parallel track. (This is all covered in my books, by the way, if you're interested.)
    Without knowing the specifics of your project and your situation, it's hard to give out more specific information -- but this advice should get you a long way toward completing your project!

  • Copy on cd from slide show in adobe element 7

    Way the copy on CD-R or CD-RW 700MB from slide show lose sharpness?
    I created slide show with total run time each slide 5 sec and total  about 20 min and it covered on CD182MB.
    Later I discovered what 5 sec for each  slide is not enough and I revised time to 9 sec with total time 41 min.. in this time the copy on CD covered 347 MB.
    In both CD the sharpness very bad and not as original slide show.
    I used the process to make slide show exactly as provided procedure in Element 7.
    Is NORMAL to lost sharpnes on CD? If is not, what I need to correct?

    If you mean you made a VCD, those always look hateful. That's just what VCD is like. If you have a DVD burner export your slideshow as a wmv file and use whatever software came with your burner to make a video dvd instead.

  • PE4 Error in trying to create slide show

  • How to burn a slide show DVD in Elements 11?  Can only find how to burn a Video CD, which doesn't help.

    I'm trying to burn a DVD slide show in Elements 11, but can find only how to burn a Video CD.  Is burning a DVD possible in 11?

    Do you know if it is Vista Home Premium?
    If yes or if you are not sure, look for Windows DVD Maker,
    On my Vista Home Premium laptop whe I click on "All Pprograms", within the list of programs I see "Windows DVD Maker" listed as a program.
    If you have this program then my suggestion is to use the PSE slide show editor to Output a file to your hard disk
    (use the
    -- the "Save to a File"  instead of the "Burn to a Disc"
    and
    -- the "Movie File - .wmv"
    and for slide size choose:
    DVD-NTSC if in USA
    or DVD-PAL if in Europe or other PAL TV country
    Save the wmv file in a hard drive folder where it will be convenient for you to reference for later use in the Windows DVD Maker program.
    Once this wmv file has been successfully created, you can play it back with Windows Media Player to verify that you like its contents.
    Your next step will be to use the Windows DVD Maker program to write the formats of movie files required for the TV DVD player playback to the DVD disc. I recommend closing Photoshop Elements and then open Windows DVD Maker from the Windows Start menu list.
    Windows DVD Maker is a "follow the instructions on the screen" program.
    However, one point of confusion is how to add the PSE created slide show to DVD Maker program.
    The answer is that you use that .wmv file (from the PSE slide show editor) -- it is now in a video format and is a "video". So you can follow the onscreen directions to add video to DVD Maker.
    Note 1: I recommended closing PSE before starting the Windows DVD Maker in order to conserve your PC system resources. It is probably not absolutely necessary.
    Note 2: You could also produce the DVD for TV playback by adding Adobe Premiere Elements to your computer.  However just for the purpose of making the DVD from your slideshow I anticipate that using Windows DVD Maker will be simpler and faster.
    Note 3: I recommend using a DVD-R disc. What brand of discs do you have?

  • What is the simplest way to create slide show

    saploe
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Premiere Elements 12 Mac does not have a Slideshow option in its Elements Organizer 12. So, that situation would not yield the two choices of creating the slideshow in the Elements Organizer and taking it into Premiere Elements OR doing the whole project solely in Premiere Elements.
    What is going into this slideshow....photos (how many, original pixel dimensions), videos (formats and duration), etc?
    What is a description of your computer resources?
    How do you intent to export this slideshow...
    a. burn to DVD-VIDEO standard or widescreen on DVD disc
    b. burn to AVCHD format on DVD disc
    c. burn to Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc
    d. to file saved to the computer hard drive?

  • Scanning 35mm slides to create slide show

    My objective is to scan 35mm slides and create a presentable slide show for viewing on a computer monitor and TV. (regular TV)
    I am using an Epson 4490 Perfection scanner and Photoshop Elements 2 software.
    This should be relatively easy, but I'm running into difficulty and can find nothing in the "help" section of the software that answers my question.
    How would you set the scanning options to obtain a good quality scan, without the software automatically cropping the slide, and being of good quality when viewed on the monitor/TV?
    After completing the scans, I'll need to create the slide shows and save them to disc. Any suggestions or information you could offer in these areas would also be helpful:
    - Tutorials for creating slide shows, included in the Elements 2 program or elsewhere.
    - What would be the best quality disc to save these to?
    Thanks so much for the help

    Lauraly.....
    I haven't actually done what you intend but here's some things to consider.
    Your 35mm slides have an aspect ratio of 3:2 ( 36mm x 24mm). Normal TVs and many Monitors have and aspect ratio of 4:3. Some widescreens TVs are 16:9. This means you wont get a 35mm slide to fit exactly. Either it will be 'letterbox' sshape on your screen or if you size to fit then something will be cropped off.
    As for scanning you should consider what resolution you need for the end display. If your display has for example a width of 1280 pixels then you should aim to scan the slide to achieve the same number of pixels - which works out to be approx 355 pixels/cm or 900 pixels/inch. For a TV you could probably get away with less.
    If your scanning the slides you may want to go flat out so that the images could also be printed out sometime in the future in which case you may want to scan at something like 3200 or 6400 pixels/inch.
    Once you've scanned the images you'll need a program to make the slide show. Photoshop Elements 5 can do this but in my opinion Proshow Gold is a better program. Don't make a Video CD (VCD) - the quality of the playback is poor. Go for high quality DVD
    Elements can't actually burn the DVD - you need another program for that. Proshow will do everything and more.
    You can download a free program from Microsoft called Photostory 3. It will allow you to make the slide show for playback on your PC - including music - but to make a DVD you need another program. If you have a DVD burner the s/w for that may be suitable.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I move Elements 8 projects (slide shows) from a Windows XP computer to new Windows 7 computer that also has Elements 8 on it so that the slides shows will work (Elements 8 works well on the Windows 7 computer & I have done several new slide show pr

    How do I move Elements 8 projects (slide shows) from a Windows XP computer to new Windows 7 computer that also has Elements 8 on it so that the slides shows will work (Elements 8 works well on the Windows 7 computer & I have done several new slide show projects on it)?    I tried backup & restore without success.  I have also found the .psess files and copied them to the catalog in the new computer but when the sides shows are opened none of the images or music is there.  Only the text that I entered shows.  I have even tried to replicate the file paths from the XP computer to the new computer to see if that will help.

    UPDATE:  By a stroke of luck I happened to find a catalog link (a PSE8D file) in the 'My Catalog' file where the imported data was stored.  When I clicked on it to investigate what is was 'magically' all of my transferred projects appeared in Organizer.  Upon further investigation I found that the projects transferred from my XP computer were stored in a hidden catalog that had to be accessed through the Custom Location option in Catalog Manager (accessed by clicking File then Catalog then Custom Location).  No Windows or Elements search revealed this fact.  I am appreciative that I just got lucky.  The Adode/Photoshop company was absolutely of no help.  If fact to me their structure is designed to avoid contact with their customers unless you're buying a new product.  Their products have many good features (even though user unfriendly) and it's a shame they don't value their customers more once the sale is completed. 
    Bottom line:  All of the projects (sideshows) have been recovered and work in my new Windows 7 computer.  I hope my experience helps others.
