Exporting a slideshow NOT as a .mov

I created a slideshow on my desktop computer and would like to simply copy it (or export it) to my laptop simply as an IPhoto slideshow. The reason is that I would like to "tweak" the basic slideshow by deleting certain slides depending on who I show the slideshow to when I am on the road. If I export it as a .mov is there a way to import it into IPhoto on my laptop so I can edit it? Thanks in advance for any help.

Irealy like Slide show variation, music addition as seen in iPhoto, but the export has problems/takes forever.
You can use Quick Time's screen recorder while iPhoto is playing slide show. It takes no time, same quality?! Loses sound? suppose sound could be added afterwards, editing done to time line?
Outside the box.

IPhoto not exporting and slideshows not showing in finder

iPhoto on my MacBook air will not export slideshows into iTunes, even though the icon is ticked for it to do so automatically. Also, the slideshows I create are not showing in finder. Any suggestions?

Look in your Pictures folder for a folder titled iPhoto Slideshows. That's where my converted slideshows end up.

How to export iPhoto slideshow to quicktime and then view on video iPod?

How do you export a slideshow to a Quicktime movie (from iPhoto) so that the resulting Quicktime movie is then viewable on an iPod?
I've exported slideshows (with transitions, specified Ken Burns effects, music, etc.) to Quicktime movies to try to view these on my iPod. I don't want to view my photo albums since they don't have of the effects that the slideshow has. There is an option to save the slideshow in a small file size that is presumably viewable on an ipod. About 80% of the time, however, the Quicktime movies are then NOT viewable on my iPod. My iPod just freezes when I try to start the movie.
Here are the steps I use to export
1. From iPHoto Select the slideshow / File / Export / select small movie
2. From iTunes / File / Import / select the Quicktime movie that was created from the slideshow
Background info
1. Apple G5 purchased in 2003, 2 CPUs, CPU Speed 2 GHz. Memory 2GB. Bus Speed 1 GHZ. CPU TYpe PowerPC 970 (2.2)
2. iPhoto '08 version 7.1.1 (354)
3. Video iPod purchased in May 2006. (60 GB). Uses iPod software version 1.2.3 (most current version for this iPod)
4. Quicktime Player version 7.3.0 Player Version 7.3 (7.3)
I've tried synchronizing my iTunes with the Quicktime movie to a new iPod and that doesn't work either. I've tried many different approaches but none of these ever work. I'd really appreciate any thoughts or ideas you might have. Thank you!

You probably will need a 3rd party application to convert the . mov QT file that iPhoto creates into a format for the iPod. Some are VisualHub, ViddyUp, and iSquint. You can find them at VersionTracker.com.

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.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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 08 libraries and Leopard. 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.

Exporting Quicktime Slideshows with Music Playlists-No audio

I am using iPhoto 7.1.3, Quicktime Pro, OS 10.4.11 on a MacBook Pro. I made a slideshow that has 300 photos and attached it to a playlist of four mp3 songs (all the same format, I believe). When I play the slideshow in iPhoto, it runs fine: all four songs play through from the selection of the playlist. However, when I export the slideshow as a Quicktime movie, there is no audio.
If I choose one song, the file works fine, repeating the music over and over.
If I go to the hassle of opening the individual songs in Quicktime and copying and pasting the audio together into one large track, imported back into iTunes, then I can "hack" the four songs into my Quicktime export.
It doesn't seem like this should be a problem. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jack

If you can't find a solution try Join Together, a free application for joining multiple tracks into one. It's reasonable fast, I'm joining audio CDs together as I type, and would make it much easier that doing it manually.
That being said, try reinstalling the intel 10.4.11 COMBO installer and the latest QT updater, 7.4.1. Follow that by a repair of disk permissions. All bets are off if any of the tracks are protected tracks from the iTMS.

IMovie '08 Capable of exporting HD slideshows? (I think so...)

I've tested the "Export using Quicktime" option with a project that contained only a few photos to see if I can export the slideshow as a HD movie.
I used H.264 and set the size to HD 1920 x 1080.
It seems to have worked just fine. I cannot see any loss in quality.
Has anyone else tried this?

Don't waste your time (and hard disk space) in creating a 1080 (1920x1080) video for use in iDVD. DVDs created by iDVD are standard definition devices. For NTSC DVDs all you need is 854x480 pixels for 16:9 content.

Exporting slideshow as a Quicktime movie in iPhoto6?

I just upgraded to version 6, and I'm not seeing a way to export a slideshow in QT format like there was in the other version.
I tried the help section in the drop down menu, but it says the page isn't found. I did a search, but I didn't find anything.
Did Apple remove this option and just not tell anyone?
Please help...I need to export some slideshows as QT movies for some projects I have (it has to be a stand-alone but NOT a DVD).
Thanks.

How to Export a slideshow to movie

I am having great difficulty trying to create a DVD of my slideshow using Roxio Toast 11. It calls for me to export the slideshow to a video format. When I try to export using the iPhoto menu, it does not matter which definition I use, the progress window comes up with a small black screen and the program does absolutely nothing.
Here is Roxio answer:
Can you please confirm if you created the slideshow in Iphoto? If that's the case, The iPhoto slideshow must first be exported from iPhoto as a video. This is done by clicking the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto slideshow window. (I'm assuming your slide show was created after clicking New Slideshow in the iPhoto File menu). Choose the Large preset in the Export window to save the slide show as a movie and then add that movie to the Toast Video window to make your DVD.
Where am I going wrong
George H. Grant

One more query though... I specified widescreen when I created the slide show because I want to show it on a 16:9 ratio LCD but when I exported as a .mov it played on my Cinema display in 4:3. No aspect ratio options offered in the Export window just 3 frame sizes.
You can export Quicktime slide shows at *any size/aspect ratio* you wish. The trick is *not to use* iPhoto's slide show feature, see my instructions in an older thread.
In the export dialogue enter your preferred size. If you want your images to fill the screen at a ratio of 16/9 you will need to crop them all accordingly, otherwise you'll get black bars.

Using iPhoto 9.6/Yosemite can not export a slideshow, either to my desktop or to iTunes.

Using Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6 I can not get it to export a slideshow. I have tried to export to a file, and to ITunes. It looks like it is working but the file transfer graph appears then goes away immediately as if something is blocking the action. I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this problem, or if there is something I am doing wrong.

Several folks have fixed this with a reinstall.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

I have followed all the instructions to export a slideshow but it does not work

can someone please tell me why i can not export a slideshow when i used to be able to What has changed

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Why is QT not playing my movies which have been exported from FCPX?

Nov 11, 2012 1:07 AM Hello there. I have posted this post in Mac intel forums but have been redirected to post this post in FCPX forums and hence I am posting this thread here. Hope I will be given the proper answer to my problem/s which seem to be growing day after day.
I hope this is the right forum to place this post.
I have been facing this problem for the past 2 days only and I remember it all started after I had exported my latest project in FCPX. The exported file would not open up in quicktime player, and I started getting this notice even with other movies which were exported earlier and were being played by QT with no problem.
The screenshot given above came with with a movie I had exported about 2 months ago. At that time QT had no problem in playing it. But now, Why is it not able to play the same?
FYI, the latest project I had exported was started in fcpx 10-0-5 version and I had upgraded to the latest 10-0-6 version while the project was yet unfinished.
Apart from this problem, a number of other problems also have simulataneously raised their heads: FCPX is not opening up: stating that there is a corrupt data base which has to either restored or moved. And, when I try to move or delete the corrupt files via finder, I am not being allowed to delete them...error code -50 being the 'culprit'.
I am growing faint with all these malfunctioning and am in a perplexity of what to do next!
Any helps or guidance will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks. Take care.

Hello, hello, hello to one and all! Both the goose and Karsten's horse have been resurrected. HO HO HO am I on the top of the world. I feel that in asingle moment I have been transferred from the depths of the Dead sea to the top of Mount Everest!
What seemed to have worked is this:
I selected one QT movie which was not being opened and subjected it to PMan which did a rebuild and created an new repaired movie. I played it on QT and to my pleasant surprise it opened and I could watch the movie. There was one movie which was not being played in QT. I attempted to repair the same with Pman, but received a notice that it could'nt. It was not an important one and so I deleted the same. I tried playing other movies and found out that QT was playing the other exported movies which it was not opening earlier. Next, before opening FCPX I first opened the final cut events and deleted, or rather, was able to delete one particular event which I had been suspecting to be the cause of all these malfunctions: it was a still image captured on my daughter's Galaxy and she had sent the same to me via email a few days ago. I had imported the pic. into an event. When FCPX began its refusal to start misbehavior, it blamed this pic as one of the corrupt files which had to be restored or moved. Deleting this pic resulted in the resurrection of my works and I am taking no more chances in this matter. Right now I am in the process of duplicating completed projects on my scratch drive and archiving them in a different drive. I am duplicating them only with the used clips. Guess if any further clips are needed while rediting the work later, I could always import fresh clips into the event.
Thanks to all of you who have been helping me out in this thread. Any guidance as to how to avoit getting into this unpleasant situation will be received with attentive ears.

I can not export my slideshow to any format. iPhoto always lost some photos for me.

For example, I make a slideshow with 12 photos, but when I export this slideshow to 'Display' format, just only 2 or 3 photos in it. Anyone tell me how to fix?

I am having this same issue: exported slideshow eventually photos disappear, screen is white but music continues.
I am on a brand new Mac Book Pro OS X 10.7.3
Using iPhoto 11
I did not use the Ken Burns effect - Classic instead
I have 404 photos set to music a put into Garage Band and exported into iTunes.
It plays perfect in iPhoto, which all photos at the right moments with the songs.
Then one photo skips by quickly without a transition and a number of photos are then not seen which causes the syncronization with music to alter.
Then the photos stop all together screen turns white and the music continues.
Need to burn it to DVD have exported it twice with different results but both similar to above, each time.
One poster said the computer got too hot and he believed exporting stopped. He tried putting a fan near to keep cool and then it worked. Sounds a bit impossible.
Thoughts? Thanks.

I have had FPCX since Sept, first used Oct. I have not had one 'movie' export properly, first time since using FPCX. Audio stops completely at some point and does not re-start. Any ideas, folks?

First, I suggest you limit the subject line of your question to a few words which will help someone identify the problem you are encountering. Putting the entire question there looks as though you are shouting.
It would help anyone to identify your problem if you were to say what video codec (file format) you are using, and describe the method you are using in your attempts to export it.
You could also list any relevant error messages you encounter.
What version of FCP X are you using?
All these things will make it easier for people to help you.

I'm trying to export a slideshow and I keep getting this message: The movie contains an invalid data reference. What should I do?

That usually means that iPhoto can't find a clip or a shot that you're using in the Slideshow.

LR 4.1 Will not export all slideshow

I have a 66 image slideshow sorted from a collection.
LR will only export 11 images.
I have tried from the original images (not in a collection), have saved a slideshow, have previewed and played, everything works fine on screen but I can't export the slideshow as jpegs.
Help, please

That was it.
Thanks so much.
The original file was missing although the image showed in the onscreen preview (I assume it was using the catalog preview)
Thanks again.
I also checked to see if my computer was plugged in.
