Elements 8 -help with outputting slide shows to File?

Can anyone help with saving a slide show in created in Elements to a file on my laptop? I know a WMV file is created, which option should I select to save in UK widescreen format 16:9?

Bob, thanks for prompt answer.
I am ultimately going to write the file to a DVD using Windows DVD Maker. Is the 16:9 format the DVD-PAL 720x576 option, or the High 1024x768 option?

Elements working with Other Slide Show Products

We've had some debates here about slide show products other than the function within Elements. Personally I opted for Proshow Gold, which I've been very pleased with.
However, it lacks in one aspect and that's locating the files you want to put into a show. That's because I rely on the E3 Organiser to make sense of the thousands of folders and meaningless filenames I have. Proshow has an Explorer like interface which means you need to know where the image is actually stored on your hard drive.
So, naturally I thought I'd see if I could get Proshow to work along side the E3 Organiser.....and it does!!!
If you open both programs you can just select images in the Organiser Window an drag them into Proshow. So now I can create a Collection of the images I want in E3 and just drag the whole lot into Proshow.
It also works with Photostory 3 so may there are others that will work as well.
It did trip up once. An image got put into Proshow that wasn't one I'd selected but had the same name. It might have been part of a version set...I haven't figured that out yet.

Folks....
Back playing again....:-)
If you drop the images from the Elements Collection into the Proshow Light Box it does retain the order in which they appear in the Collection, albeit reversed, irrespective of date.
If you drop them into the Slide Show image collection bar at the bottom of the Proshow window then the order sometimes gets a little scrambled.
I'll disagree with Grant about ordering them in Organiser v Proshow. I find E3 Organiser easier to use. So I create a collection of images for the slideshow from the various folders I want, order them in the collection, select all and drag and drop.

Help with output to 2 CSV files

I created a script to parse through AD and output a list of computers that have certain info in the description field and it is working (wouldn't mind some critique if things could be done a better/faster way). Now, what I am trying to do is split
the output into 2 CSV files based on what is in the $descwho variable. But I am not sure where to start (not looking for someone to rewrite the script but point me in the right direction). I have tried a couple things but so far I have not gotten
anywhere.
Function Get-ScriptDirectory {
if($hostinvocation -ne $null) {
Split-Path $hostinvocation.MyCommand.path
} else {
Split-Path $script:MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path
#Variable that provides the location of the script
[string]$ScriptDirectory = Get-ScriptDirectory
Function Clean-OU {
#clean OU removes FQDN/RootOU from the start and $computername from the end of the OU string
Param (
$OriginalOU,
$computer
$ouArray = $OriginalOU.split("/")
$newOU = $null
Foreach ($OU in $ouArray) {
If (($ou -ne "FQDN") -and ($ou -ne "RootOU") -and ($ou -ne $computer)){
If (!$newOu) {
$newOU = ".../$ou"
} Else {
$newOU += "/$ou"
return $newOU

Need help with Flash Slide Show

Hello, Flash friends.
I recently put together a Flash photo album for a client of
mine. She wants to be able to upload new images, so I created it
with XML using the following action-script:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];
description = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
image
= xmlNode.childNodes.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
description
= xmlNode.childNodes.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
firstImage();
} else {
content = "file not loaded!";
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("images.xml");
listen = new Object();
listen.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) {
prevImage();
} else if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {
nextImage();
Key.addListener(listen);
previous_btn.onRelease = function() {
prevImage();
next_btn.onRelease = function() {
nextImage();
p = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
filesize = picture.getBytesTotal();
loaded = picture.getBytesLoaded();
preloader._visible = true;
if (loaded != filesize) {
preloader.preload_bar._xscale = 100*loaded/filesize;
} else {
preloader._visible = false;
if (picture._alpha<100) {
picture._alpha += 10;
function nextImage() {
if (p<(total-1)) {
p++;
if (loaded == filesize) {
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
desc_txt.text = description[p];
picture_num();
function prevImage() {
if (p>0) {
p--;
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
desc_txt.text = description[p];
picture_num();
function firstImage() {
if (loaded == filesize) {
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[0], 1);
desc_txt.text = description[0];
picture_num();
function picture_num() {
current_pos = p+1;
pos_txt.text = current_pos+" / "+total;
As you can see, the images can only be viewed by clicking a
"next" or "previous" button.
Well, my client has since decided that she would like to drop
the buttons and have the images automatically change from one to
another while the user sits back and watches. This seems like such
an easy code to add, but I am a novice at this, and I cannot find
any forums or tutorials that give a proper code which I may copy
and paste into this pre-existing code.
Can anyone offer a suggestion?
Thank you!!!!!

Here's my quick suggestion:
Add a <link> child element to your <pic> elements
- each <link> would be a sibling of each <image>, like
this:
<pic>
<image>filename.jpg</image>
<link>
http://www.example.com</link>
</pic>
Then, in your loadXML function, add this:
link = []
for(...){
link
= xmlNode.childNodes.childNode[2].firstChild.nodeValue
Finally, in each function where you call picture.loadMovie(),
add a line below it:
picture.onRelease = function(){
getURL(link

Since updating to the new 3.6.14 Firefox, I cannot get pictures (i.e. pictures with recipes), slide shows (health), email links, etc. Frustrating!!! Please help!

Each time there is a new update on Firefox, I lose information, etc. that I had with the old version. Since updating to the new 3.6.14 Firefox, I cannot get pictures (i.e. pictures with recipes), slide shows (health) email links, etc. Frustrating!!!

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
* You can see the permissions for the domain in the current tab in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
* You can check the exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions
* You can check the Tools > Page Info > Media tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images)
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block images.

Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome

Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome. Works in IE. This is my first time trying to post a question - so please be kind. I am also not good with code and am finding css a real challenge after learning to design based on tables. I'm using CS5.
The "test" page with the slide show is: http://www.reardanwa.com/index-slides.html   The same page without the slide show is http://www.reardanwa.com/
I realize the images are not ideally sized - I'll fix those once I get the pages to function. Maybe I need a different slide show? I would prefer a widget that I can modify to required size & postition. Again - I'm not good at building with code from scratch.
The problem is the naviagation links that are directly next to the slide show do not work in Firefox of Chrome. They do work in IE.
I've read about using jQuery.noConflict(); code but can't figure out the correct way to use it in my case or whether that's even part of the solution. I know my code is not well organized as I have cobbled together from various sources in an attempt to format the page the way the client wants it. Also, FYI, I will eventually try to make the page work in Surreal CMS.
I've spent sevaral days over the last several weeks trying to solve sth slide show/navigation conflict - so any specific light you can shed will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

If you DO want the slideshow overlaping the navigation try the below css:

    border: 3px solid #F7F723;
.box {

Is anyone using iPhoto having a problem with the slide show using shatter where it does not let you put a title over photo?

Is anyone using iPhoto having a problem with the slide show using shatter where it does not let you put a title over photo? It use to work but it no longer lets you place a title over the opening photo.

Is your signature still current?(iPhoto '08, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)) I can confirm this for iPhoto '11; Shatter will only show the text slide title between the slides. Ken Burns and Classic theme can still be set to overlay the caption and title directly over the slides.

Elements 9 and a Slide Show issue - help!

I'm using Elements 9 trial and will probably buy it. One problem has to do with Slide Show.
It's a feature the family like to use. I have no problem building a slide show however full screen displays
seem to have a limit on image size......pictures show as distorted or heavily pixelated. As if I'm enlarging a 640x480 image to full HD size.
What am I doing wrong......the example of what I like is how Picasa builds slide shows, full screen images show at actual image size.
This is the only negative I seem to find in my trial of Elements 9.
Thanks for any help.
Steve

Thanks 99jon but it doesn't workk for me.....maybe if I describe my steps
put 29 images in an album
select all 29 images
click create slide show
select preview playback option "high"
click OK
press F11, full screen slide show starts
but no joy, pictures are not sharp and clear, as if I enlarged a 640x480 image on a 24" monitor
originlas are all 3264x2448 so I'd expect good image quality in the slide show.
What am I doing wrong.....
Thanks for any help.

Elements 4 Slide Show PDF File Size

My a 36-slide show with music ends up as a 6.76 MB PDF file. Are there techniques for reducing the file size?
My attempts have had mystifying results. I fould that 2 of the original images were multi-megabyte BMP files, so I replaced them one-by-one with much smaller JPGs, and made PDFs after each step. (Miraculously, when I edited the original photos, the edits automatically flowed down into the slide show images.)
When I made the replacements and created new PDFs, the size didn't shrink accordingly. It appears that Elements makes its own JPGs from the photos in the slide show, so the size of the original doesn't matter.
But replacing the first big file with a smaller one slightly INCREASED the size of the PDF, from 6.76 MB to 6.79. Replacing the second one increased it again from 6.79 to 6.80. Small changes, but mysterious.
BTW, taking out the music (built-in looping audio from Elements) reduced the file size from 6.76 to 5.87 MB.
Are there other ways to reduce the size of the PDF file?

Yep, I know this is user-to-user. I've gotten very good answers here, too.
I experimented with the "slide resolution" (or whatever the name of it is). There wasn't much difference in file size between 800x600 and 1024x768, and I couldn't see much difference on the screen. Fonts seemed less jazzy with 1024x768, but it wasn't night and day.
File size ballooned when I went to the next higher resolution. I think the visual quality improved, too, but I can't be sure.
Looks like the higer resolution settings might be good if one distributed the slide show on CD.

Pse 7 organizer crashes when outputting slide show

PSE 7 closes down with the message that organizer has encountered a problem when I try to output a slide show in any form - create wmv, send to Premier Elements, write cd/dvd - a part of the file is actually output since I am able to go in and find it - once about 180 mb once about 60 mb. I have gone through the process adobe reccommends of deleting pref files, uninstalling cd/dvd drives, changing registry, uninstall, reinstall etc. all to no avail. I am able to do a slide show in Elements 6 and output that to Premier Elements. Is there a way to open the PSE 7 slide show in PSE 6? I really don't want to have to go back and recreate the slide show if I don't have too.
I should add that I sat and watched taskmanager while the process of exporting was being attempted and it doesn't appear that the problem is a computer related memory problem. I also read the information created when the incident occured in the elements log (I couldn't understand enough of what I was reading to find where things went wrong)
Any help would be great.

I am also having the problem with crashes using PSE 7 when I try to take thenewly created album and export it to a CD/DVD. I get a message that PSE has an error and must be shut down. I am running Vista 32 bit with 4MEG or memory and an additional 4 MEG of flash. Is there a update or download I can use to eliminate this problem in Organizer? I wouuld appreciate any assistance.

Need help fast - iPhoto slide show on Windows ?

Hi,
I am really needing your help with this. I have created a slideshow in iPhoto for a funeral service for our uncle which is being held this evening. However, I just found out that they need to view this slideshow on a Windows computer.
HELP !! I tried exporting the slide show to iDVD but just want to burn a DVD that will play this looping slide show along with the iTunes playlist they already have set up on this Windows laptop.
Do I have to go through all the theme stuff in iDVD just to create this slideshow that will keep looping ? I don't want it to go back to the chapter menu everytime it finishes.
I am under a really tight time line to get this done...please help.
Thanks !

I'm not an expert on this, but...
Have you tried exporting the slideshow to a Quicktime Movie? (Select the slideshow, then File>Export). You could burn that to a disc just as a file and play it in Quicktime on the Windows PC. Quicktime has a loop function, so you wouldn't have to mess with chapter menus, etc.
Maybe someone with more experience has a better idea.
Good Luck,
Karen

Help: Links to Slide Show aren't working

I'm baffled & frustrated.
I've created a "Photo Albums" page which links 23 thumbnails to their album page. All the 23 links work to get you to the album page. But, on (only) 4 of them, the Slide Show button leads to an error page instead of to the slide show. The error page says:
Safari can’t open the specified address.
Safari can’t open “paris:%20Day%20in%20Senlis%20&%20Chantilly_files/slideshow.html” because Mac OS X doesn’t recognize Internet addresses starting with “paris:”.
(Each of the 4 error pages is slightly different.)
Best way to demonstrate this problem is to send you there to see. Here's the link to the Photo Albums page:
http://web.mac.com/karenmickleson/iWeb/Site%203/Photo%20Albums.html
The 4 which don't work are:
(from the 5th row down) Florence: Duomo; Italy: Tuscany; and Tuscany: Siena
And, from the last row: Paris: Day in Senlis & Chantilly
On these 4, when you get to the Album page & click on the Slide Show icon, you get the error message.
I've tried re-doing these 4 thumbnails on the iWeb page, to no avail. Can anyone help me figure this out?

Karen,
My problem was caused by changing page titles in the site organizer. I had read here in the forums that spaces, odd characters, etc could cause problems in some browsers when published so I removed all caps, spaces, etc. After those changes anything that was cached with the old titles wouldn't go to the new pages. There may be no connection to your problem. Have you tried publishing to a folder on your own computer to see if the problem is there also? If the problem is still there if you publish to a folder, you could do some experimenting without affecting your published site.
Here's something you could try:
Duplicate your "Domain" file and store it in a safe place. You can then play around with the duplicate without affecting the original. Build a new photo page with some of those same photos. Publish to a folder on your hard drive and open it with Safari. You may be able to isolate the problem this way without affecting your published site or your original "Domain" file. Once you figure it out you can make the changes to your original "Domain" file and then publish.
Good luck, David http://web.mac.com/phelpssculpture/iWeb/

Trouble with making slide show VCD or copying photos to CD

I have saved approximately 200 photos and made a copy of the photos on a cd. The problem is that some of the photos copied horizontally instead of in vertical format.....the photos where all properly showing on the PSE7 organizer...but about 13 copied in the wrong format??? Then I tried making a slide show with music....works fine in the PSE7 program, but when I went to output to VCD, nothing copied....except some files that don't contain the photos?

1. Reduce the image size 1000 x 750 if you are using high resolution images.
2. Use windows supported codec background music for slide show.
3. Update the latest audio/video drivers.

Dreamweaver website with flash slide showing showing graphics poorly

Hello,
I put this problem up in Dreamweaver and Flash and got some questions from couple people but no answer yet. Adobe tech support is only available mon though fri so thhey are not available, so I thought I would try here.
I have a flash slide show I built for a dreamweaver website that contains vecctor images that are losing quality when I run my domain site. I have tested the flash file in flash looks great. I have previewed in live view in dreamweaver graphics look smooth but when I load up my files to ftp to my host account and test from there the quality of the edges of the vectors is not smooth. I see lots of jagged edges and not sure why.
I test everything on my 24 inch monitor so the graphics are probably enlarged but even when I test the flash file in flash and the html file of my hard drive to a browser like firefox my graphics are smooth, so not sure if its resolution problem. also tested my website on my laptop which is a smaller screen 15 inch and the graphics look bad on the website from there too. Soi f it were a resolution problem I think the 15 inch screen would be showing the graphics smoothly not jagged. ?????
Does anyone have any ideas or could assist me with this problem? I
Johanna
http://johannabresnahan.com
please keep in mind when tested in flash, dreamweaver (live view and firefox browser from my hardrive html files the graphics all appear smooth and good quality. its when I transferred them by ftp to host server files and preview there and enter in my website url that the quality of the graphics and text in the graphics is jagged in many areas.
I spoke with the domain tech support too but did not get the answer but some thoughful input.

The key answer to this problem was to import the files in the original native form ai not jpeg for the
vector illustrations which kept the quality of the text that was converted
with create outlines tool in illustrator to make each character its own independent graphic
to be independently scalable to maintain its quality. Since most of the problems I was having were related to the text inside each artwork was rendered poorly in the finished slideshow on my live website url. The digital photography images were never a problem. The commentary and feedback in the dreamweaver forum helped me to figure out how to resolve the issues I was having.
I just thought I would post here in case anyone was wondering.
