Export slideshow with music

How do I export a slideshow with a theme and music to be watched by a friend on his/her mac or pc?
I just created a nice slideshow with around 10 pictures with a theme and a song from my itunes-library.
The exported file got the *.M4V fileformat and I wonder if the file will be viewable on my friends mashine?
If not, how do i configure the export to make it usefull for others?

The output from iPhoto is fixed. If your friend cannot play that then there are various oconverters that will change the file, depending on his requirement.

  • Problems exporting slideshow with music from iPhoto 5 to iDVD

    I made a slideshow on iPhoto, and selected one Playlist with 4 tracks as backgroundmusic. When I ¨play¨the slideshow in ¨iPhoto¨ I can listen the music ( all 4 tracks), but when I ¨export¨ the slideshow or ¨send to iDVD¨, the final Quicktime movie contains all the fotos but only the first track of the Playlist.
    I use Quicktime 7.1.3, iPhoto 5.0.4 and iTunes 7.0.2
    Can somebody help me to find a solution...:)...? thanks...
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    this was a known problem with iPhoto 5. do you have the latest update to iPhoto 5?
    Only one song exporting with Slideshows
    With iPhoto 5 this seems to be a know problem/bug. There have been some work-arounds. Don't know if the problem is with iPhoto, Quicktime or a combo of both.
    -From Bob Worthington: re-ripping the cuts I wanted as background music for the DVD as a single cut in iTunes. I then made a playlist containing the one extended cut of music.
    -Old Toad: share to Quicktime from iPhoto and then import the resulting movie into iMovie you can extract and delete the audio from the video and add the two songs to the video and save.
    Quicktime Pro-open the movie and bring up the Movie Properties menu window. In the top window select the audio track and delete it.
    If you want more than one song you'll have to join them together with iMovie or some other application. Then open that joined file with QT Player. Then do a select all and copy. Now go to the QT window of the movie and select the Edit->Add to Movie menu option. You don't want to scale it because it will change the play speed of the audio unless it's time is exactly the same as the movie.
    You could go the other way, open the movie, select all and copy, and then past with scaling to the audio. That will change the speed of the movie and transitions to fit the audio track. In this case the resulting video file will have the name of the audio track file that you started with.
    You may have to play with it a bit to get exactly what you want. Be sure to work with copies of all the media files for the project.
    -Peter Burtwistle: I opened the Qt movie that iPhoto makes when you export to iDVD and removed the sound track.
    Then made a new soundtrack by opening all three songs in QT, then cutting and pasting them together.
    Finally use QT Pro's 'Add to Movie" option to add the soundtrack to the original movie.
    This worked well and was fast to do too.
    -Joe Lombardo: I ended up having to extend the songs by 20 seconds so I brought them all into GarageBand and made some edits. Then I exported them all to iTunes as a single track and used that for the slideshow
    From scotty321 at MacOSXHints.com: If you have Roxio Toast Titanium installed on your machine, you can join unprotected tracks yourself by simulating a disc burn. Simply take these steps:
    Go to the Audio tab in Toast.
    Drag your audio files from iTunes into Toast.
    Reshuffle them in the proper order within Toast.
    Go up to File: Save As Disc Image. Save your disc image somewhere on your Desktop.
    Choose Utilities: Mount Disc Image. The CD will mount on your desktop, and iTunes will think that you just inserted a CD.
    Within iTunes, select the tracks that you want to join and then use Advanced: Join CD Tracks.
    Go through the import process, and you've got a joined track! Simply rename the track to whatever you want to call it, and you're good to go.
    From Lori...
    Burn the playlist in iTunes.
    Make sure you have itunes Prefs just open the Cd and not automatically play or import the songs.
    Insert the burned CD and iTunes will open.
    Within iTunes, select the tracks that you want to join and then use Advanced: Join CD Tracks.
    Go to Advanced>convert selection to AAC.
    When done, make a new playlist named after the slideshow.
    Put the new combined track into the playlist.
    In iPhoto, select this playlist for your slideshow.

  • I created a 23 minute slideshow with music. how can I share it? youtube and smugmug both say it is too large?

    I created a 23 minute slideshow with music of family vacation. Youtube and smugmug both said it was too large to post for my family.
    suggetions please?? I use to use Mobileme...

    A few different ways about this. You could split the slide show into smaller sections that are withi the limits for posting and then post each section.
    You could try a different encoding to make the file smaller. What settings did you use when you created and exported the slide show?

  • Slideshow with Music?

    Hello. I’m looking for some help with creating slideshows, with music, and creating a web page so it plays for friends (Mac or Windows users).
    I can do the basics. I’ve selected a group of photos in iPhoto (6.0.4) and created a slideshow, then I selected Music. I clicked Play and was happy with the results. Now what?
    By accident, my first slide show (while in iPhoto) encorporated a sound track (Sample Music - “Acoustic Sunrise.”) And when I played the show it looks and sounds great. But I am unable to replicate this for posting on the web.
    When I select a group of photos from my Library and then select the “Create Slideshow” button, I get options that include Music. However, when I choose the iWeb button and use the drop down menu to select Photo Page, I no longer have the option to include music.
    Likewise, if I Save a slideshow while in iPhoto, then go to Share - Send to iWeb, nothing happens. It is greyed out.
    Soewhere along in this process I managed to Publish. But the published shows do not include the sound track. I can’t see any option for including music.
    I’m confused. I’m trying to do anything fancy here. I just want to post what it is I am getting in iPhoto on my desktop so family-friends can view and hear. Help?

    Noodlehead, I share your frustration & disappointment at the lack of elegant interface between iPhoto, Keynote, and iWeb. I am frustrated! I have spent all night creating a Keynote presentation to put up on iWeb for a state presentation. Although I was able to put a very clumsy version using QT, it's very unfriendly - no music, no controls. So I tried to export it as HTML. No can do uploading html to iWeb. So, I took those individual jpg files in iPhoto and made a slideshow with music. Cool! But again, there is absolutely no interface between iPhoto slideshows and iWeb. The support directions for Share: Mac Slides are great until you look for a Step 5: Connecting your slideshow to iWeb or even .Mac. Photocasting doesn't even allow people to go from one picture to the next with out clicking in and out of pictures (Click to view. Click to close pic. Mouse down to next pic. Click to open the next pic Click to close. Mouse click down ... AND there's no music that goes with . I'm thinking I could make an iMovie, but I am so afraid THAT won't upload either. I thought there was this elegant interface between iWork & iLife. Boy, am I WRONG! It looks sexy, but it turns out to be crack junkie. I've been up all night and all day now going from one dead end to another. IF anyone CAN HELP, PLEASE RESPOND. I think I'm going to try taking it into iMovie and then hopefully put that on iWeb. SAVE ME!

  • Creating DVD from iPhoto Slideshow with music

    I'm trying to create a DVD of a slideshow with music that was created previously in iPhoto and then "Shared with iDVD". The .m4v file located in Pictures> iPhoto Slideshows is not accessible in iDVD. The only way I can make it work is to spend the hour or so required to start from scratch by clicking "Share with iDVD" from an open iPhoto slideshow, thus creating a .m4v file and then going directly to the iDVD menu that's automatically opened at the end of the "Share with iDVD" process. Any ideas?

    Welcome to the forums.
    When I'm going from iPhoto to iDVD with a slideshow, I get good results by Exporting from iPhoto to a large-sized Quicktime movie. I can preview the video and music, and if I'm happy, I can then just drop the Quicktime file onto the iDVD menu area (not into a drop zone, that's just eye candy). It's been a reliable process for me.

  • How can I make a slideshow with music and burn it to a disk?

    I need to make a photo slideshow with music and burn it to a disk. I am able to make the slideshow but I cant figure out how to save it or burn it to a disk.

    How do you want to play the slideshow?  On another computer or on a TV set?
    If it's the former export the slideshow as a QT movie file to the desktop and burn that file to a disk with the Finder.
    If you want to create a video DVD of the slideshow so that it can be viewed on a TV set, use the Share ➙ iDVD menu option.  That will export the slideshow into iDVD where you can complete the menu and project design.
    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 and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good and you can then burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Problem Exporting slideshow with soundtrack in LR3.

    I am trying to export a slideshow for a homework assignment. When exporting video with "pictures only" it exports just fine. When I add a soundtrack I receive:
    “Log (6)
    Assertion Failed: Seld->aenc
    AVC video encorder…
    infor: version 8.0.0.47059

    extendedoption: Media_time_offest : 0.000000-> 1000.000000”
    I have exported a slideshow with music before and never had problems with it. What can I do to fix the problem?
    I use a pc windows 7

    After much research, I discovered that iTunes can create a compatible .m4a file
    in iTunes,  highlight the Voice Memo you want to convert, then select Advanced...Create AAC Version.
    This will convert the file and create a .m4a file of the same name.
    Unfortunately, it is not in the same directory, and iTunes gives no feedback as to where it is.
    Nor does it list it in the VoiceMemo playlist in iTunes.
    I found it in iTunes\Music\Music\My iPod\Voice Memos\
    My sincere thanks to Dan Tull of Adobe for giving me the clues I needed to sort this out.
    He has also flagged a bug report so hopefully future versions of LR will handle this situation more gracefully.

  • Slideshow with music keeps stalling

    My Aperture slideshow with music keeps stalling in various places.

    G'day RittDog
    It's relatively easy if you're prepared to spend the time doing it.
    • First, forget about the slideshow option. Instead, open up an iMovie project and import your slides into it (ensure you're first set to NTSC for the US of A). Use the Ken Burns effect if you want. Also, add transitions between slides. Unlike the slideshow, you can use different transitions for each slide if your tastes run to it. Don't forget to set the required time for each slide.
    • Add your music track(s)
    • Now, using something like Audacity (it's free), record your voice over tracks (one per slide) for each slide (you do have a microphone/iSight don't you?). Set Audacity to 48,000 Hz by the way. Trim the tracks, or select the appropriate part. Export the trimmed tracks or the selection as AIFF files to a folder.
    • Import the AIFF files into itunes, and use from there, or open the AIFF folder into the media/audio window, or simply drag & drop them. Place them into the middle track in iMovie. Arrange each voiceover to it's appropriate slide.
    • Dampen the music during each voiceover, or for the whole show.
    • Export to iDVD, burn as disk image.
    • If you really, really want to have the voiceovers as a choice, export a Quicktime movie WITHOUT the voiceovers (untick them via the box alongside the right of the track), and then export again WITH the voiceovers (different name of course). Import the two movies into a suitable iDVD menu, with a button for each.

  • Slideshow with music I would like to add bonus commentar

    Hi, I created exported a quicktime slideshow with music from iPhoto and imported it into iDVD. What would be a way to add the option to the dvd to listen to audio commentary about the slideshow. I imagine this would work like a regular film dvd where the bonus features section has an option to turn on
    "director commentary" Any ideas? THANKS

  • IPhoto Slideshow with Music to MobileMe

    Is it possible to upload a slideshow with music background to MobileMe, so that the music selected in for the slideshow also plays in MobileMe?

    You need to export the slideshow as a QuickTime movie and then upload that to MobileMe. And you need the permissions from the copyright owners for the music, of course.

  • What slideshow with music maker program will run on Mac Powerbook G4?

    What slideshow with music maker program will install and run on my Mac Powerbook G4 1.5.8 1.33 GHz OSX  laptop? Or are there any out there, I know my system is old but it's all I got for now.

    There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
    If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
    Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
    http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
    (Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico:  http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
    Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
    Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie  as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast,  for burning.
    You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
    To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

    All above suggestions will work on a PPC Mac running Leopard.

  • Will  an iPhoto slideshow with music work on all computers in China?

    I am making a promotional DVD for an education program in the US, and taking it to China to education fairs. If it is an iPhoto slideshow with music, will it work on all Chinese computers? I assume so, because since it is not video, I should not have to worry about different formats-right? I've got enough to worry about on this trip!
    Prof. Fisher

    On every single computer in China? Impossible to tell. But if you create a slideshow in iPhoto and send it to iDVD to be burned to a DVD then it will play on anything that plays DVD.
