Exporting photo slideshow in mp4 hd format.

hi,
I want to export photo slideshow in hd. I had exported into quicktime h.264 hd but it doesnt support to my Samsung Led tv.
When i exported to mp4 h.264 photo quality gets ruined, everthing looks pixel.
I am using following setting:
h.264
full hd screen size 1920x1080 16:9
bitrate: 256kb/s
frame rate auto
i think problem is with bitrate....please tell me which bitrate to use for smooth video.

iPhoto 11 consists of several versions. What exact version do you have. Use the iPhoto ➙ About iPhoto menu option to get the exact version.
With iPhoto 9.5.1 the size ratio of the slideshow should be set to what you want in the slideshow Settings pane:
Then click on the Export button at the bottom and select the HD size you want to have:
With iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier the following options are available:
The bit rate is at 7 Mbps.
iPhot0 9.5.1 doesn't specify the bit rate. However, I exoprted one to the desktop, opened the slideshow with Quicktime Player and checked the Info window for the bit rate and got this:

Exporting photo slideshow - HELP!

I've been trying to export my photo slideshow with final cut express 4, and every combination I've tried always comes out blurry when the photos have movement. I was able to export them clearer on imovie. There must be a way to import photos, give them movement and export them somewhat clearly. Can someone please let me know what they have done to achieve this.
Thanks,
David

Thanks for all you help Tom. However, It doesn't seem to be working. I just did a short 5 photo project with new photos and the result was the same using the previous steps - Blurry when in motion and clear when stopped. Do you know anyone who has had success with a photo slideshow with movement to view? Have you tried making one and burning to dvd.
Thanks again for all your time and help. For some reason this is trickier than it looks.

How to display a photo slideshow in Widescreen 16x9 format?

I just bought a 5g iPod and the A/V connection kit. I can play a photo slideshow on my 16x9 TV, but it stretches the photos to fit the screen, so they are out of proper aspect ratio. Is there a way to tell my iPod that it should be displaying the photos on a 16x9 screen?
I understand that there is a widescreen option in the Video playback menu, but this does not seem to have any effect on the output of photo slideshows.

Jon,
See if this works. It may or may not.
Go to videos-->video settings-->Widescreen-->On
See if now when you play the photo slideshow it works right.
Now, if it doesn't then I don't think there is much you can do.
Tell Apple about the issue (if the steps above don't solve it)

Exporting photo slideshow for web

Hi I had a search but couldn't find the answer to my question.
I'm trying to use FCE4 to create slide shows of photos. I don't use video at all. I import the photos in TIFF format and after arranging them into a sequence and adding audio, effects, I then attempt to export them to the web.
Problem is the Quick time movie project that is exported isn't appropriate. It's either too large for the web (+60MB) or it is very low quality and not the same quality as I viewed in FCE.
I would like the size of the video be 1024x768, and I'm using Export using Quick Time conversion, and have experimented with the various setting for Quick Time Move including dial up internet, broadband high, or more detailed settings using TIFF compression. The manual isn't helping much...would appreciate your help!

It depends a lot on what level of broadband you expect the user to have, and whether the video has to play immediately. There are some natural sizes to use for the video, such as 1280x720, 960x540 or 640x360, and the frame rate ought to be 24, 25, or 30, depending on the source material.
Making it for medium to good broadband, and with wanting the video to play right away, you could do say 1280x720, 1 megabit per second, H264. It would look reasonably good. If you don't mind people having to download for a little while before the video can play, then take the data rate up to 3 mbps.
So, one way to look at that would be to use the AppleTV preset from QuickTime Player, then open that mp4 file and save as to mov (just to make your html task easier). It would look very good, but might take a bit of downloading time before it's ready to start playing.

Best codec for exporting photo slideshow?

I brought some H.264 640x480 30fps 4:3 slideshow clips created by iPhoto '08 into FCP 5.1.4 to string together and added some titles. My goal is to export some sort of output file that I can then convert to some other Windows formats I can't do from within the standard Quicktime Conversion dialog. What codec should I use for export that will minimize the re-compression of the original H.264 footage? It's about 15 minutes long. I have a good deal of disk space, but perhaps not enough space (or time) to export it uncompressed?

Photo - jpeg at 75% assuming you will use QT in Windows.

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.

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.

How can I export a slideshow from iPhoto to iMovie 09. I try but it only lets me import 211 out of the 311 photos I have in the slideshow.

How can I export a slideshow from iPhoto to iMovie 09. I try, but it only exports 211 out of the 311 photos I have in the slideshow I made on iPhoto.

how do i change the format to the right one?
Before you can decide what to do, you have to know what you are starting with. Sony MPEG-1 files would be converted one way while DivX or WMV files would likely be handled in another. Extraneous tracks can be removed directly with QT Pro but if you don't have QT Pro then there may or may not be other work around possibilities depending on the specific audio and video compression formats in use. The best place to start would normally be to double-clic the source file in iPhoto to open it in the QT Player. When it opens in the QT Player, check the "Inspector" window to see what it says on the "Format:" lines. This will tell you the type of audio and video content you are dealing with here. Then come and tell us so we can offer some specific conversion solutions.

Poor photo quality when exporting iPhoto slideshow

Does anyone know which setting produces the best quality for an mp4 when creating a DVD using iDVD? I put a slideshow together using iPhoto because I wanted to use the iPhoto scrapbook theme. I exported the iPhoto slideshow using the highest quality (standard display setting) which produces an mp4 1422 x 800 (H.264, 30 fps, 7 Mbps, ~907 MB).
The iDVD project settings are:
1) Best Performance
2) High Quality
3) Professional Quality
What doesn't make sense to me is that #1 claims to produce a total ~1GB DVD with a 995 MB movie and shows the Quality level as green.
When selecting #2, the claim is a total ~643 DVD with a 575 MB movie with Quality in the red.
When choosing #3, the numbers stay the same as #2 but the Quality goes to yellow.
Why wouldn't the higher quality settings produce a larger DVD with less compression? Which setting really gives the highest quality?
The default is #1 (Best Performance) which clearly produces the lowest quality video when compared to the mp4 export from iPhoto (appeared with a higher quality) and when compared with playing the slideshow directly in iPhoto (appeared with the highest quality).
Would the quality be any higher if I export the iPhoto slideshow using a customized setting? iPhoto custom settings allow the choice of about 10 different compression types from Animation, Apple Intermediate Codec, to DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, to H.264, to MPEG-4 Video, to None (and others not listed here). The frame Rate can also be adjusted from Current (whatever that means), to 8, to 60. The Compressor Quality can be adjusted from Least to Best. Would "None" as the compression type produce the best quality when producing the iDVD?
The ultimate goal is to display the slideshow on the project at my church. The easiest way to do this is to put it on a DVD. But as described above, the quality decrease from iPhoto direct play of the slideshow is noticeable when moving to the .mp4 and extremely noticeable when putting the .mp4 in iDVD and playing the DVD back.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or links to better documentation.

you just cannot export your slideshows in order to burn DVDs, with the same quality
That's an issue with iDVD and the DVD standards. All DVD media is downsized to 640 x 480 or the wide screen 720 x 480. It's the nature of DVDs, not iPhoto. If you use the Ken Burns effect in iPhoto you will need to use the largest 4:3 ratio images possible so the zoom and scan of the KB effect is working on the most number of pixels possible.
I've found that the best final image resolution is obtained by creating the slideshow in iDVD from stills imported from iPhoto at the 4:3 size ratio. The downside to that method is no KB effect and only one transition per slideshow. I play those types of slideshows on a 50" 1020p HD Panasonic plasma TV and the images are quite good. But good is in the eye of the beholder.
See Jim Symon's post in this iDVD topic: Re: High-definition DVDs. Also search his other posts as he was working out a workflow using Photo to Movie to create high def movies and burn them with iDVD. As I recall he found and posted his workflow at one time.

Exporting Slideshows in 16:9 format?o

Hi Folks,
Just spent hours cropping and editing photos to be in a 16:9 format (HiRes source), how can I export this slideshow to a file that I can import into iMovie (16:9) I've tried iDVD, but it seems that I can't extract that slideshow into iMovie. I don't care about size as it will never leave my laptop. I'm incorporating other video (in iMovie) that is 16:9 and it TOTALLY whacks the import from iPhoto that is 4:3 and low res. Any solutions? RTFMs?
Thanks!
Craig

Criag:
Yes, iPhoto doesn't support the 16:9 format for exporting. I suggest you useiMovie HD 6. It's still available to Mac users who have iLife 08 and are not pleased with the new iMovie which has been dumbed down from the V6 version. If you add the 16:9 photos to it you can export to that ratio. Also you'll have much more control over the audio trachs being able to cut out portions, fad in and out, overlap etc.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger 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.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Can you export slideshows other than .mov format?

I created a slideshow and would like to play it on my PS3, on the higest resolution possible. PS3 does not recognize quicktime movies, so I am trying to save it as an MP4. The option seems to be there when I save the file, even in custom export. There is a field that says "export movie to/as MP4". When the export is done, the file is still a quicktime movie! Anyhelp is greatly appreciated.

In the export drop down there is a Custom option and you can explore the many, many options under that heading.
There is no right answer that anyone can give you from here as there are far too many variables: The quality of the original photos, the quality of the playback engine on your PS3, the screen you are displaying on etc etc.

Export photos FROM slideshow?

Can I create an album FROM a slideshow?
I created Album A (tons of photos) and slideshow A. I duplicated slideshow A and deleted all the photos I didn't want to include, that became slideshow B. Now I need to export the photos from slideshow B into a format I can burn to disc - photos, NOT the slideshow itself. Can I do this without having to recreate the wheel, and have to pick out the photos I want one by one in a new album? Thanks!

There is an easy way to keyword those photos so you can group them for exporting to the desktop.
1 - in the slideshow double click on the first photo to bring up the edit window.
2 - type Command+K to bring up the keyword pane
3 - assign a unique keyword, "xxxx", created for this process to the photo.
4 - hit the forward arrow key on the keyboard.
5 - assign the keyword to the next photo. Repeat until all photos have been keyworded.
6 - create a smart album: keyword is "xxxx".
7 - export the photos from the smart album.

is it possible to export a slideshow in 1080p format and then show it on a projection TV in 1080? if so, how - what conversions are necessary

Getting it out of Aperture is not a problem. When you export the slide show select 1080p as the export format.
What happens then gets tricky. To create a true high def 1080p DVD requires Blu-Ray. So you will need an external Blu-Ray recoreder and software to create the DVD.
If you're hooking your computer up to the TV then you'll have better luck.

How to most efficiently export photos on their original format with all metadata and adjustments?

How do I most efficiently export photos on their original format with all metadata and adjustments applied? I am looking for a solution for exporting corrected photos between computers with Lightroom 5 installed. Preferably with no exporting or merging of catalogs.
Thanks in advance for you support,
JP Jacobsen

And yet exporting a catalog is the perfect solution for communicating with another LR catalog...
But if you really want to export photos , File>Export should work. I guess I don't really understand what your concerns are.
