Display comments during slide show and/or DVD

This is a pre-sales question; I'm wanting an application to organize decades of family photos that will all be entered with location and comment about the photo since we were good about writing that on the back of the photos and slides. Now, the more critical part, I'd like those comments to be displayed while viewing a slide show, or more importantly, if I write out a slide show to DVD. On screen is not so important as I can always look at the comments manaully if I want but I want to create DVD's to send to family so they'll want to see the commands about each pic on screen. I think Elements has all the organization features I need, just wondering if when you use it to create a photo dvd, the comments can be made visible as the dvd is viewed.
Thanks!

Hi,
In Photoshop Elements you can create slideshows which can be exported as Videos or PDFs....
Captions can also be doiplayed with each slide....
I would suggest you to try trial version of PSE8 and decide if it fulfil your requirements.... It also facilitate to place your Photographs on Map and then locate througha Map view... Try it out before buying....

Hi
SlideShow in iDVD has a 99 photo limit - more than this and all sorts of error occures.
One can have more than one SlideShow on a DVD = X times 99 photos.
or assemble SlideShows in a movie editor (no limit at least not under 650 photos)
(only limit is Time in iDVD (movie time + MENU time --- 60 min or 120 min on SL-DVD and about twice on DL.-DVD )
I use
• iMovie up to HD6 - or -
• FinalCut any version
As they will give a better quality than iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 can do.

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.

I made a 46.5 min aperture slide show and tried a number of times to Export it so I can burn it to DVD to be viewed on an HDTV, so far with no success! I set computer sleep to 3hrs and let it export over night and the furthest i've gotten is 66% Exported

I made a 46.5 min aperture slide show and tried a number of times to Export it so I can burn it to DVD to be viewed on an HDTV, so far with no success! I set computer sleep to 3hrs and let it export over night and the furthest i've gotten is 66% Exported! Why is it taken so long and seem to stop but the activity status goes up ever so slowley???? Im using an iMac 7,1 2.4 GHz with 6GB of memory running 10.8.2 what am I doing wrong???

Rendering will take a very long time - I once needed 6 hours for a shorter high definition movie with plenty of effects.
What theme are you using and what settings?
The "places" theme needs a good network connection.
And the finished movie will need plenty of disk space.
And the finished movie will need plenty of disk space. Have you checked the available space on your disk?
What exactly happens when Aperture fails to render the movie? Are there any diagnostics, error messages in the console window, that relate to Aperture? Does Aperture alway stop at the same image or video clip?
if all fails, you could render your slideshow in two parts and combine the two videos on your DVD.

How to burn an iPhoto slide show to a DVD

Photos abruptly stop during slide show

During slide show using apple tv either my music or the photos will abruptly stop. Music stops if I start it from the photo slide show set-up. The slide show stops if I set the music to play from the computer to my stereo house speakers. Wireless connection works. I removed the apple app from my ipad because that made the problem even worse. I couldn't start the system as long as I had the app on my ipad or iPhone. Any ideas how to fix? It's driving me crazy.

Wendy:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Can you give us a little more info on your setup: model, RAM, HD size and free space, system version, QT version, and iPhoto version. When did this start? If recently did you run any updates shortly before it happened?

Two song are playing at once during slide show?

I played a slide show and music was playing. Later the same music played...along with an iTunes song I'd purchased. They played together, which wasn't too good. How did that happen and how do I enable or disable the default song?

I found the problem and just need to know more about how to work with the iPhoto program, which will happen when I receive my books and do the one-to-one lessons. Evidently someone had started my songs on iTunes running and they hadn't been stopped, although I couldn't hear them when I opened the iPhoto program to start. Hence, both the song on iPhoto and the iTunes song were playing at the same time. I simply went into iTunes and stopped the songs from playing. Duh....
I can't wait to find out how to stop the default song and choose one to play from my iTunes during the slide shows.

IWeb site loses functionality (Slide Show and Click to Enlarge)

I have three iWeb sites, to which I have added Slide Show and Click to Enlarge features on Photo pages. They are all published via web.mac.com.
Two of them lost these abilities after about a week, although the cursor still changes from an arrow to a hand when passing over Start Slideshow and the various pictures. The other site still functions normally.
Recommendations?

This first site works fine; Emma's Web Site and Ellen's Web Site do not. (Please see the links.)

I am trying to add music to my slide show and I get this error:

I am trying to add music to my slide show and I get this error: The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (codec) installed. I went to the Adobe site and downloaded a codec program, and restarted but still got the same error. Any help would be much appreciated.
Anne

Thank you - I followed the instructions attached to your response, and I deleted the artwork from the three songs that I want to use, however, when I drag them into Photoshop I am still getting the same error message. I also don't see an option to convert the song to an MP3. I tried going to File and Get Info, and there isn't an option. I also tried right click on the song, but didn't see anything there either...?

It looks like an unstyled background in your frameset. You'd
be better
off ftp'ing to your .co.uk domain rather then importing the

HT2801 how to burn slide show too a dvd-r in web supedrive plugged into my macbook pro?

how to burn slide show too a dvd-r in web superdrive plugged into the usb port

I think this link will offer some good insight. I would recommend moving the library to an external HD if you are already using iPhoto on your MBP. If you do decide to move the library directly to your MBP just make sure you are using a different enough name for it that your MBP can easily locate each library independently.

Help! I thought I was pretty good setting up slide shows and adding music. I'm trying to make a new slide show from a great trip to New York. I can get theme music but no music at all from iTunes. Checking my older slide shows, which did play music!

Help! I thought I was pretty good setting up slide shows and adding music. I'm trying to make a new slide show from a great trip to New York. I can get theme music but no music at all from iTunes. Checking my older slide shows, which did play music, it's all gone!
Problem seems to have started after updating to Mavericks.
Is there a box I need to check/uncheck?
Any help very welcome!

Hopefully you've seen the post from Terence Devlin? I've pasted it below.
In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.
Pity Apple didn't either warn us or set up a bug fix!

Resets to home page during slide show

I was using the Apple TV today to make a presentation on a big screen TV, by putting the slides on Mobile me and accessing on the Apple TV.
But after a certain time (2-4 mins) the Apple TV drops the slide showing and returns to the first menu page. I then have to navigate again to the slides and continue. Gives a poor impresion...

There are a number of variables here, the WiFi is from a MiFi connected to a 3G network. Both Apple TV and iPad or iPhone are conneted. I have tried showing the slides from both my iPad and iPhone using Airplay and all is OK. I have not tried from my MacBook.
Tends to imply it is related to the internet connection? Does Apple TV have any kind of reset that regularly trips in?

IMac goes into iPhoto Slide Show and won't exit unless shut down.

When I am in iPhoto it will sometimes (no patter) slip into slide show mode with music without my having done anything. It will play the slide show over and over and not let me exit unless I shut down. I made a slide show with music when I first got my computer and the slide show always plays this music (R.E.M. "Everybody Hurts"-no jokes please!), but the images can be of any photos I have on the computer. Last time it happened with my Last Import. Please help as the folks at Apples could only shrug their shoulders and tell me "Wow, never heard that before."

Take a look at these slide show control keys did you try these, also click on the settings icon in the lower right corner of the slide show and make sure the repeat slide show check box is unchecked. (This applies to iPhoto 11)
