Export slideshow with quicktime

I want to export my slideshow as a movie. The problem is that I want to chance my resolution to 720X576 (I live in the PAL world). But the export dialog box only gives 3 choices. Strange, since quicktime can handle HD.
Any thoughts?

Hi Polleke,
The only way you can export with those dimensions is selecting an album, go to share/export, choose the Quicktime tab, input your PAL dimensions and set your other options.
The caveat to this method is you can only have the current chosen song for the audio, there is no Ken burns and I think the transition is a dissolve.
I think if you go the iMovie way you can have everything just like iPhoto but will be able to export to Quicktime with PAL format.

Exported slideshow to Quicktime, music now out of sync

Hello: I created a slideshow in iPhoto with music and transitions in sync, then exported it to Quicktime. When I play it in Quicktime, the music track is slightly out of sync with the slides. Can anyone give me any suggestions? Thanks!

slhmca:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I think that problem was fixed with 10.4.8 and the newest Quicktime version. Download and use the 10.4.8 COMBO updater as opposed the the Software Update method. I'd do the same with the Quicktime version. QT 7.1.3 is required if you need to access videos from the iTMS. Otherwise QuickTime 7.1.2 for Mac will suffice. It depends on your iTunes situation.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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.

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.

Export slideshow with playlist to QT?

My slideshow uses a 2 song playlist from iTunes. The slideshow works perfectly in iPhoto. When I export the slideshow to QuickTime and then play it, the soundtrack only plays the first song. The second half of the slideshow plays in silence. Why is this and what can I do about it?
Thanks,
Stephen

Lori's solution is to burn the joined tracks to a CD. Have you done the burn step?
"...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."
I assume that it is after the last step above where you burn the playlist to a CD.
"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."
And finally, with the CD in the Mac, you should be able to do the final step:
"In iPhoto, select this playlist for your slideshow."
If you don't want to burn a CD, you could use the same basic procedure, but join the songs in Garage Band. That would give you one track that you could send back to iTunes, which you could export with your slideshow.

Where is the export slideshow to quicktime movie gone?

In former versions of Aperture I was able to export a slidshow directly to a quicktime movei. In Apertuer 3.3 I could not find that. Is it discontinued?

Hannes,
now you can export your slideshow with diffrent codecs, optimized for the purpose, just press the export button and select a video format. If you want qquicktime, import those videos to quicktime. I suspect, Apple dropped quicktime in Aperture, because there were to many problems with incompatible codecs and missing media, when people uploaded the quicktime wrapper, but did not include the referenced movie.

Exporting slideshow to QuickTime - any more recent answers?

110 mb slideshow incorporating movie clips exported from imovie to quicktime.

I had same question you had ... example is not all of us do slide shows to be shown on T.V. sets ONLY. I find viewing DVD via normal television set to be very poor quality - and so, I don't bother.
Primarily, I am a photographer who makes presentations via digital projection @ 1024x768 - with the choice to make a DVD later as a back up.
I have noted when you do a slide show in iPhoto the presention via my monitor (1024x768 setting) is absolutely perfect .... but when saving to QT with the limited res of 640 x 480, the outcome is horrendous - even with High Quality is activated in QT - i.e dissolve transitions set in iPhoto are terrible when viewed via QT .... especially when you have images showing lots of sky. You get the 'solarization' effect ... regardless of images that are initially imported at high res or not. (I normally import RAW images @ 300 dpi).
Here is the solution that works for me and use .... what I have found to work well so as to have the option to choose resolution to give me full screen, and save to a DVNTSC PRO as one option, I use iMovie and use iPhoto ONLY as a pre-production preparation to set up story line, test out music, etc ...
Too bad Apple just chooses to dictate how their software works - sort of caving in to the status quo, I suppose - much easier and no doubt cheaper for them ... I too would rather have the choice to choose many things, same as done in iMovie - that is, include other QT resolutions for exporting a slide show full screen, etc. - they do allow you to choose resolution when exporting from the library .. but with limited transitions time-wise. Exporting a 'slide presentation' is different. Why?????
My .02, and I seriously doubt iPhoto will ever have this added option ... it is after all consumer level software, not pro level. Yet, iMovie is also same level ... go figure.

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.

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
Info: Platform: Windows 64bit
mc_enc_avc.001)
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.

Exporting Slideshows with Aperture

I am a professional wedding photographer just starting to use Aperture.
I currently deliver DVD slideshows to my clients instead of paper proofs. I use an action and an apple script in Photoshop to batch all the files from a wedding to have a black border around them and display the file name in the black border below the file. I must have the file name because, that is how my clients place there order. I then use DVD Studio Pro to group my slides into groups of 99 and create slideshows with DVD Studio Pro.
Is there a way to use Aperture to automate this process? I would like to select the images that I want, have Aperture size them for NTSC, display the file name so that it is readable and not cropped out of a standard TV screen, and then create slideshows in iDVD or DVD Studio Pro for me. I would also like to put a signature on the bottom right corner of each photograph.
I know this is asking a lot, but I REALLY need something like this to speed up my process and bring a new look to my work. Any suggestions?
Kevin Hawkins

kevin:
aperture has automator actions for exporting images from albums (at any one of the export preset sizes). you could, with a little scripting expertise, convert the photoshop applescript that you have now into an autmator action. (i have several automator actions that i've built that feed images into photoshop.) then it would be a matter of building an automator workflow that sets everything up in the right sequence and pressing run.
if you need help getting this done, visit my web site and on the "about me" page, you'll find some contact info (including email address).

Export Slideshow with previews only

Hi,
I use a managed library on my iMac. I'd like to take a slideshow with me on my MacBookPro. Is there a way to export a slideshow as a new library with just the previews in it? I don't need these huge RAWs (export via my WLAN takes hours) on my laptop just for presenting a slideshow.
Thanks for a tip!

Thanks for the tipps.
I personally am no fan of QT presentations, because I'd like to pause every now and then during my slideshows, and I like to zoom in any picture when necessary.
The iPhoto tip sounds good - but I am not sure I did get it right. I make an album in Aperture, OK. But then? I can access these pics in iPhoto, but there I can only run a slideshow with selected Pics and have not the nice settings I have for slideshows in Aperture. And, how do I get the pics from iPhoto to my MacBookPro from there? Here I have to export again as QT, right?
What I am trying to achieve is to have my slideshow with just the necessary picture size on my MBP. What I did yesterday, was export all pics from Aperture on my iMac by dragging them on the desktop of my MBP, then importing them in Aperture there and creating a new slideshow there. But, unfortunately, all my sorting was lost, the pics were imported by the order of their names, of course. So this is no nice workaround either.
Does anyone of you have anothe idea for me?
Thanks a lot,
Jens

Exported Slideshow to Quicktime Won't Play All Music

I've just finished a slideshow that I've exported to Quicktime in iPhoto 5. When I play the slideshow from iPhoto, the two music pieces I've selected from a folder in iTunes (the two tunes are the only items in the particular folder I've selected), only the FIRST song plays in the Quicktime movie -- the second half of the slideshow is mysteriously quiet. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Iphoto - exporting slideshow to quicktime issue

Hi All!
I'm attempting to export a slideshow from iphoto into quicktime using the 'export button'. I have everything set on the slideshow, the music is right, everything looks good. I click the 'export' button and set all the export preferences and click 'save'.
After a few minutes, a box pops up that says 'The operation can’t be completed because the item can’t be found.'   I've tried this with other (simpler) slideshows and get the same pop-up....
All updates have been made to my system, etc..... any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong or on how to get this done?
Thanks.

Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
          6 - try creating and exporting a slideshow in the newly rebuilt library.

Exporting Slideshows as quicktime movie, i plan 200 or more pics..

I tested it exporting a slideshow that only had 5 pics..i put 10 secnods for each slide. And it took a while to export.
I can't imagine how long it would take with 200 or 300 pics or more.. Can it do it eventually ( if i wait long) or will it crash my system?
I'm doing a slideshow of a story.

jonsondonson:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As Terence mentioned give us some information about your setup, system version, RAM, HD free space, iPhoto version, QT version, etc., and the ultimate use of the slideshow.
Do you plan to put the slideshow into iDVD for burning and playing thru a TV set? Do you have music and use the KB effect? There are several ways to go about it and more information can help us answer your question more effectively.
Hi all:) Thanks for your answers. yes i forgot about my system:
I have a G5 tower 1.8Gzh single processor.
2GB ram. Diskspace is less than 1GB... but i have one 20GB External HD which sadly it's also full.. But i guess i can make space in the mac HD by throwing stuff i don't need.
Quicktime 7.1.3
I'll use Toast or IDVD to make the dvd.
But i hope it wouldn't take a lot just for a simple picture Slideshow.
My slideshow will be kind of like a story .. With Narration, music, sound efects.
How i plan to do it is: Render the images from my graphics program( Poser and Vue). , Take images to iPhoto and create a slideshow.. Set the transitions type and the seconds for the slides to stay on screen. Apply al lneeded settings in iphoto. Export as movie. Take movie to GarageBand OR if i had Logic Express( which i kind of plan to get), then logic express. Add sound tracks and narration and sound effects to movie. Export to quicktime.
That's it .

Lose sound when exporting MPEG with QuickTime to iPod format

I paid the $30 to be upgrade to QuickTime Pro in the hopes that I would be able to export MPEGs from my digital camera for viewing in iPods. The video comes out fine but there is no sound. Any suggestions regarding how to get the sound to export too?

Thanks; the discussion is helpful.
When I downloaded the MPEG Streamclip software from http://www.squared5.com/; the conversion process was agonizingly slow. As an example, a single 6 minute Quicktime movie took hours to convert. After it was converted, then it not was recognizable by iTunes. So, MPEG Streamclip has not worked for me.
This seems like such a straightforward process that Apple would support. Basically, you can create iPhoto albums that synchronize with iPods; however you CAN NOT create Slideshows that synchronize with iPods. This is so frustrating since the slideshows have much more functionality and presumably would be what most people would find most useful. The process to get a slideshow to the iPod requires you to go through Quicktime and then Quicktime to ipod; this process only occassionally seems to work.
Anyway, Quicktime Pro, the $30 application, seems to sometimes work and sometimes not work for conversion of Quicktime files to iPods. I tried using non AAC protected audio files for the iPhoto slideshow sound and the conversion from Quicktime to iPod worked. In other cases, the conversion from Quicktime Pro to iPod did not work. I am at a loss to explain consistently what is happening when you use Quicktime to export to the iPod. When I open the Quicktime movie file the option to Export to iPod is grayed out. However, when I open the Quicktime application the option is black and available.

Crash 0::42 when Exporting Audio with Quicktime:

Hello Folks,
We're having an issue with exporting .mov files from After Effects. When a user tries rendering a project through Make Movie > Ouput Module > Quicktime Movie, AE crashes with the error code 0::42 if the user simply clicks the 'Format Options' button for Audio output. In addition, if the user selects File > Export > Quicktime Movie, the movie will get about half way done and crash with the same error.
This error occurs on all of our workstations. We are using CS4 and HP workstations of various makes and models, the only direct similarity is they all use Realtek built in audio. I have done some troubleshooting using procmon.exe and the issue that seems to be coming up points to a conflict with our audio driver and Quicktime (see the following regesty entries below)
The following kept coming up with a BUFFER OVERFLOW and NAME NOT FOUND results:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0262&SUBSYS_103C 130A&REV_1002\4&705ED8E&0&0001\DirectSound\Device Presence
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32
Also, both registry entries point to the file
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS4\Support Files\(Media Core plug-ins)\Common\AsioWdm.dll
Does AsioWdm.dll have some conflict with our HD Realtek audio and quicktime?
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Sound card drivers / codecs. This actually allowed me to export Quicktime movies without crashing via File > Export. However, we're still experiencing the crash when clicking on 'Format Options' from Make Movie > Output Module > Format Options.
Does anyone have any idea what's causing / how to resolve our issue?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben

Hello again,
Thank you for your responses, here is an update on our status:
I am testing a simple scene with a .wav file. AE only crashes when we're using the Quicktime module and if we click on Format Options in the audio settings. All other modules seem to work just fine. Interestingly, if we choose File > Export > Quicktime Movie, we can access the audio compression options and AE does not crash.
In regards to ASIO, as far as I know, we are not interfacing with anything else. The workstations we're using have built-in speakers, but I don't see how that could be an issue and nothing else is plugged in.
As for the codecs, we have the k-lite package installed as well as DivX, Xvid and whatever comes with the Realtek drivers. I tried uninstalling k-lite and xvid, but neither seemed to help.
Other things I have tried:
- Uninstalled and reinstalled AE
- Updated Quicktime to the newest version
- Uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime to version 7.65
- Disabled openGL support
NOTE: we recently tried this on one of our workstations (z600) with windows 7 64 bit and we got the same issue.
No matter what we do, AE still crashes when we have the Quicktime format selected and click the Format Options Button for the audio settings.
Any other ideas?
