Customizing iPhoto slide show layout in Scrapbook Theme (photo arrangement)

I have an iPhoto 09 (8.1.2) album with 284 photos and 8 movies. I want to use the iPhoto scrapbook theme in a slideshow project.
Is there a way to customize each scrapbook theme slide in terms of the number of photos it will show on each slide or in terms of any other layout attributes (landscape, portrait, overlay photos, etc.)?
On initial experimentation it appears that the layout is completely random. In fact, each time the theme is switched from classic then back to scrapbook, the layout seems to change.

No, you can't customize the slideshow. You might try a 3rd party slideshow that has a scrapbook type of theme. PhotoPresenter has over 25 animated themes, some of which are scrapbook like (more like a scrapbook flipping pages) that might let you gain more control. This demo page shows 9 of those themes: PhotoPresenter Themes .

  • Convert iphoto slide show to mov format?

    hello, I just want to ask that, can I convert iphoto slide show into mov format??? I tried to select all pics, and export them as a mov, but the problem is, in the iphoto slide show, the pics can be moved and fit the screen size, but when I i export it, the pics just set in the middle , no any effect.

    1. Select the photos you want to use, and click on the +. In the window that appears, select slideshow, and give your project a title.
    2. Choose your transitions and music.
    3. Go to File>Export; this will create a QuickTime movie- a .mov file.
    4. For information on playback, read this section from QuickTime Player Help.
    _Viewing Movies at Full Screen_
    You can set the screen so that only the movie is visible, not the QuickTime Player window, desktop, or other windows. This presentation setting is called "full-screen mode." (You can also set a movie to play at half size, double size, or other sizes.)
    To play a movie at full screen, do one of the following:
    Choose View > Full Screen.
    Choose View > Present Movie, choose Full Screen, and click Play.
    To quit full-screen mode, press Esc. To adjust the way the picture is sized to fit your screen, such as stretched to fit or in letterbox format, move the pointer to the top of the screen to display the QuickTime Player menu options, and then choose a setting from the View menu. The following additional options are available in full-screen mode:
    Fit to Screen: The content is scaled to fill your screen as fully as possible without cropping the movie or changing the aspect ratio.
    Zoom: The content is scaled and cropped to completely fill your screen in at least one dimension. This can eliminate black areas on the top (letterboxing) or side (pillarboxing) but may hide or distort the content.
    Panoramic: The content is scaled to fit your screen and the outer horizontal edges compressed to avoid cropping the image.
    You can also cycle through all of the available full-screen options by clicking the button in the movie controls that appear when you move the pointer.
    You can also set options for all movies playing at full screen. For example, you can hide the movie controls or change the amount of time they're displayed before being hidden. To set these options, see QuickTime Player preferences.
    Note: As long as "Display full-screen controls" is selected in QuickTime Player Preferences, you can make hidden controls appear by moving the pointer.
    I hope this helps.

  • IPhoto slide show music remotely through airtunes?

    I have an iPhoto slide show, and music for the slide show is set up through itunes (an itunes play list). itunes it set to play through speakers though airtunes, which works for regular itunes playlist playing. Can i get my slide show to play though the speakers? It plays through my computer now, seems it ought to be able to send it to my speakers wirelessly like regular itunes can.
    thanks
    roger

    Dear "cheers",
    I found airfoil and although a little pricy for shareware ($25), it does exactly what I needed. thanks
    Oddly though, I had trimmed the ends (a few seconds of slience) off a couple songs in iTunes through the Get Info->otions-> stop time, but when the playlist was played through airfoil, it didn't play those shorter versions. So I took all the songs into Garage band and made them all the perfect length and spliced them all into one song, exprted into iTunes, so now things are timed perfectly with one cut that plays with my iPhoto slide show.

  • Posting iPhoto slide shows to Facebook

    i am a beginner on Mac....recently made an iPhoto slide show that I would like to post to FB or send by email.  Is that possible?

    If you can access the photos already, and want to put them into Powerpoint one picture per slide, then you will have to do them one at a time.
    If you have a lot of photos you could make a slideshow in iPhoto, and then insert the slideshow into Powerpoint. That would be much faster if you had a lot of photos.
    Create an album in iPhoto of the pictures you want in the slideshow and then create a new slideshow from the album. You can change settings like transition and audio and then export it to the Desktop.
    You can insert the file as a movie in Powerpoint.

  • How can I change the font size and placement of photo descriptions in an  iPhoto slide show?

    With an iPhoto slide show, how do I change the font size for titles and descriptions and position the text when preparing a slide show?

    to change the pixels crop to 100x100 and export with maximum dimension of 100 - see the user tip on exporting foo details on Export options - Exporting From iPhoto
    As to DPI - digital photos have no DPI since DPI is Dots Per Inch and digital photos have no inches hence no DPI - when you print a photo then DPI is a mathematical calculation - dots divided by inches - it is not a setting
    Print a 480 pixel photos as a 1" square and the print it 480 DPI (480 / 1 = 480) and print the 100 pixel image as a 1" square it will be 100 DPI (100 / 1 = 100) - print a 480 pixel photo as a 4.8 inch square and it is 100 dpi (480 / 4.8 = 100) - just a calculation - not a setting

  • In iPhoto slide show, is there a way to splice several short tunes together to play for the show?

    In iPhoto slide show, is there a way to splice several short tunes together to play for the show?

    Mike:
    If you want to do a little more that string several songs together, i.e. like cutting out the lead in and out, overlapping, etc. you can try Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder. Always be sure to work with copies of your audio tracks.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Iphoto slide shows on Apple TV ignores Music settings

    I use iphoto slide shows on my apple tv as you have more control over the burns effects etc. rather than Apple tv taking control. I have a problem where after setting the slide show timing to fit the music track (fit slide show to music in iphoto) whilst this runs fine within the apple mac , is completely ignored on the appleTV and the music finishes (and repeates) before the slide show ends. any ideas

    The timing is probably not ignored but it is likely that transitions are applied differently on the tv and may take a different length of time to occur. Still the effect is the same and unfortunately it's not too pretty. Which is why I chose to stick with simply syncing photos and not slideshows a long time ago.

  • How to upload and publish iphoto slide show to icloud

    how to upload and publish iphoto slide show to icloud on mac book pro

    Just log into your MobileMe account and go to your iDisk and delete the iWeb site that is there.
    You can load your other site there by simply dropping and dragging your files for your new site to the Sites folder on your iDisk. Alternatively, MobileMe uses webdav so you can use Cyberduck to publish too.

  • Moving iPhoto slide show to iMovie

    Using iPhoto, I created a slide show from a series of photos. I used the Ken Burns effect to add motion to the photos and got everything just right. I wanted to export or move the slide show to iMovie so I could add titles between certain of the photos in the slide show. I found an option to export to iDVD but not iMovie. Shouldn't I be able to move the slide show between iPhoto and iMovie? Eventually, I'll want to move my slide show from iMovie to iDVD, but I want to add the titles between the clips first. Does anyone have any advice regarding this matter?

    Using iMovie HD 6, IMO it gives the user much better control over clips, stills and adding audio, you click on a still clip and then click on the Show photo settings button at the bottom of the Media pane. A translucent pane will come up where you can set the KB effect parameters.

  • Email iphoto slide show

    How do I send an iphoto slide show with music via email?

    Probably, you don't.
    Many email services have an attachment limit if 20mb and some an attachment limit of 10mb. That means that video is rarely suitable for emailing.
    Options:
    Upload it to a sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and email a link - these will allow the recipient to view the material onlne.
    Upload it to sharing services like Dropbox or YouSendIt and email a link. This will require that they downoad the material to their machines to view.
    To get the slideshow out of iPhoto you export it.
    Regards

  • IPhoto slide show won't send

    I am ready to go back to PC unless I can get HELP! I've created several slide shows and cannot get them to send to iDVD. "An Error occured during transfer" message keeps coming up. I've had to convert to quicktime to import - but if it's going to be this difficult - I'll go back to PC

    To run the slide show automatically just add the following
    script to the last frame of each slide.
    stop();
    function goNext(){
    currentSlide.gotoNextSlide();
    clearInterval(timer);
    var timer = setInterval(goNext, 4000);
    Looping a slideshow is what I'm also trying to figure out
    without success so far!
    I'll let you know on the button issue in the next
    thread.
