Exporting Slide Show Problems

I am having trouble exporting my slide show with either the regular export or share to iDVD. I have updated iPhoto to the latest version, tried rebooting, shutting down. It gets all the way across to the very end and then says there was an error. Any ideas or suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That error code is a file is busy error. What size is the file that you end up with? Does it have a .mov extension on it? If not, try adding the .mov extension and see if you can open it.
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.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Using export slide show from iphoto, I am trying to create a DVD of photos and vid clips in large format. The vid clips do not work using burn software. Any idea?

Using export slide show from iphoto, I am trying to create a DVD of photos and vid clips in large format. The vid clips do not work using burn software. Any idea?

Have used large format, but using the 'burn' software, I am not getting seamless video quality on DVD even though I am burning at 2* speed. Any ideas? Do I need better software? Or is there a problem with the SuperDrive?

Aperture Exported Slide Show Does not show last few photos

I exported an Aperture Slide show for an AppleTV (720P). The slide show has over 2000 photos from a recent trip. The slide show is about 115 minutes long.
Everything works fine until about the last few minutes, the music works fine but the screen goes black for about 7 photos, comes back on for 2-3 then goes black for the last 5 or so photos. Does anyone have any idea why the end of the exported slide show is doing this? If I watch the preview on my MAC everything looks fine all the way to the end.

In my case it was because my hard drive was nearly full. I emptied the trash (had not done this in quite sometime) and it freed up a lot of disk space. The full slide show compiled fine after this. I found this when another recompile warned me that there was not enough disk space to compile. Hopes this helps.

Problems exporting slide shows

I am having problems every time when I export a slide show from I photo. On play back there always seems to be some momentary interference. I have tried exporting different slide show projects with the same result. can anyone tell me what this is. It is a shame as everything else seems to run smoothly afterwards.

I am using tracks which I have built in logic and have imported into itunes where I can then import them into the slide shows in iPhoto.
Yes it tends to happen a couple of seconds into play back of the slide show.
I have tried to export the slide show without music and its the same thing. its like an interference similar to what you would get if a fridges thermostat clicked in on the same circuit as you are using for your computer or studio and the screen goes a bit shaky for a second

Imported Slide Show Problems

I imported a slide from Photoshop Elements 7.0 into Premiere Elements 7.0. I did get an error that .jpg files could not be imported into Premiere. Some .jpgs showed and some did not. Any suggestion?
Also, text titles I added in Photoshop are very blurry in Premiere. Can someone help me understand why and how to correct?
Thanks,
Gary

Steve,
I did a batch processing of over 2000 jpgs in 7 slide shows to 1000x750 and this seemed to work better.
I am still having text problems. The titles applied to each jpg in the slide shows are clear in Photoshop Elements 7 but are blurry but readable when imported into Premiere Elements 7.
Further, I have blank slides that are black background with white text in each slide show. These are clear in Photoshop but blurry but readable when imported into Premiere Elements 7.
I took a suggestion and imported a slide show into PE7 and then exported it to a DV AVI file. When I brought it back up and viewed it, the text titles on the jpgs and the white text on the black slides were still blurry but readable. I viewed the AVI in two separate programs, the pictures look OK but the text is not crisp and clear.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My Exported Slide Shows look bleary

I am making music videos with Iphoto, I expert them to Quicktime format to put up on the web, but the images look bleary.
In particularly I made jpg slides with Keynote - images with text comments, saved to jpg format, through the files in to IPhoto, did a slide show and exported to Quicktime format.
I put them up on the web, the music sounds fine, but the images are so bleary it is hard to read the text of the keynote slides/jpg.
Anyone have suggestions how to make clearer slides, make a slideshow with good music and good video images?
Thanks,
JE

I fully agree and have the same problem. My .mac iWeb Site has several albums. On a PC (even with Safari) the slideshows are now useless because the images are tiny. Upgrading to iWeb 2 somehow shrunk down the slideshow. When I click on the individual pictures, they open up fine in the new iWeb 2 mode and I can even hit the download button fine to copy an image to my drive. However, hitting the slideshow button brings up tiny images! The slideshow is now all but useless for Windows users.
Hope someone can help out with this problem!
Thanks Klaus

Exporting Slide Show- Invalid media was found in the movie

I have been trying all day to send a photo album to Itunes to put on my Ipod. Every time I try I eventually get the message that Invalid Media Data was found in the movie. What does this mean and how to I fix this.

I am having the same problem. I am exporting a slide show (450 pics) and after A LONG TIME (probably double the previous time it took in the previous iPhoto), I get an error message that says 'Invalid Media Data was found in the Movie'. I also thought it might be protected mp3s (I have music with the slideshow) and I found one 'possible' problem song file, but after I corrected it, I get the same error.
I have noticed that iPhoto 09 gives an import error for some types of .jpeg files (in particular those imported after scanning using the Image Capture program). I also noticed as I was editing the slide show that there are 5-6 pictures that come up black when you flip thru them in the viewer/editor. They show up in the scan, but do not in the viewer.
I have run the slideshow in 'play' mode several times without issue. I urgently need this file for tomorrow. If anyone has any suggestions on workarounds today, I would appreciate it.

Exporting slide show from iPhoto to QT raises contrast and darkens images?

I have been using iPhoto to create slide shows (with transitions) which I then save as QuickTime (.mov) files. I add soundtracks to the QT.mov file in QuickTime Pro and burn the finished slide show to CD's for my friends and coworkers.
The original photographic image files come from several sources; mostly a digital camera, but often scanned color slides (from the dim, distant past). All of the images have been (painstakingly!) corrected in PhotoShop, and saved as finished size Jpeg files.
When I import the images into iPhoto, edit and arrange them in a folder and preview the show as a slideshow in iPhoto, the images still look perfect.
When I save the show by exporting it to QuickTime, all of the images get darkened and the image contrast increased.
This is making me nuts.
To quantify the unwanted "enhancement" that iPhoto seems to be applying to my images, I experimented in PhotoShop; I can make the original (correct) image match the "QT enhanced" image by decreasing the "Lightness" slider by -8 to -12, and increasing the "Contrast" slider by +11 (in whatever units PhotoShop sliders are calibrated).
The resulting change in the images is infuriating: the darkening increases the color saturation and blocks up the shadow details so that many images are unusable.. black skin tones, for example, become a dark red/brown color with an unnatural gradation from light to dark.
Further experimentation using IDVD and QuickTime slide shows (without transitions) made from sequencial files directly in QT seem to indicate that the problem is not in QuickTime itself, but rather in the transition from iPhoto to QuickTime when I export the finished folder as a slide show.
It seems like iPhoto is "enhancing" or "tweaking" the images as it exports them to QuickTime: It adds contrast and reduces brightness, both of which might serve to add "snappiness" to a lot of generic snapshots that people shoot, but my images have already been fixed (thank you) and really don't need anyone's generic "tweak"
Does anyone know what it's doing, and more importantly to me, how do I turn the damned thing off?
G5 dual 2.3Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6) Terabytes of disc space.

iPhoto can make two different types of slide show movies. It would help to know which you're making.
One is made via the File/Export to QuickTime movie and makes a 4 track file with a simple fade effect. These use the Photo-JPEG codec.
The other is a 30 fps "video" using H.264 video codec via the "Share" menu.
A third method (rarely used) is to Export to iDVD. This makes an absurdly high data rate MPEG-4 video. This is also found under the Share menu.
The MPEG-4 video codec also includes an "automatic" gamma correction feature which compensates for the gammas difference between Mac's and PC's.
Try one export to iDVD. Include your audio track prior but use a high quality (.aiff) sound file. No need to actually "burn" the DVD. You can even close iDVD after it opens. You'll find the new movie in your Users Movie folder.
Open it with QT Pro and export to a new .mov file. Adjust the data rate to something more reasonable and add some audio compression.
If the colors still look too dark you can use the built in Filters in the Export dialog. You can adjust B&C or HSL or even use ColorSync Profiles that can help correct the image quality (if needed).

PSE 7 Slide Show problems

I have used Photoshop 7 on my computer running vista very successfully but a problem has now arisen. When I use slide show to show some of my selections the pictures are pixelated. This does not apply to all selections. I note that the pixelated pictures are c 400% but the ones that are ok are 40%. If I do not allow the pictures to resize in slide show thet are only small. Any help would be appreciated. This has only happened recently and I cant remember if I have had an adobe downloaded update which might have affected this.

Hi Bob
Thanks for coming back to me so quick, I will try & explain the problem in
more detail.
I have all of the photos in My Catalogue tagged ie 2009 Holiday, Mothers
Birthday etc so that by selecting the tag and then display in full screen I
can show them in a slide show to friends & family. This has always worked
well until last week when I called up a slide show of a past holiday the
pictures were very pixelated. All photos are not affected. Some holidays I
select in slide show are ok. If I look at individual pictures in my
catalogue most are ok but many are pixelated. Any pictures that have not
been adjusted in PSE 7 are ok.
Any picture viewed in full screen in slide show has in the top left pop up
menu a % of less than 100%, typically 35 - 75%. Any of the pixelated
pictures have a % 350 - 450%.
I originally had Elements 2 but upgraded to PSE 7 when I changed to Vista
because of album problems, apart from problems converting my catalogue
originally all has worked very well. Apart from the recent update the only
other thing which I have done is to start a back up which I aborted because
it was taking a long time to do. I have 4,600 photos in my catalogue and the
problem slide shows are random throughout but appear to be trouble free up
to about the end of 2004. ie a holiday slide show before then seems to be
ok. The latest photos put into the catalogue this month, post upgrade & post
attempted back up are ok. I have also found that if I expand a photo that
has been modified in PSE 7 although the modified picture is pixelated the
original displays ok. I hope that this more fully explains my problem but if
you require more information please let me know. I really do appreciate you
looking at this for me. It is very frustrating when something that was
working perfectly for me then goes **** up!
Regards
David

Slow exporting slide show as video. 4 days less than 10%

I am exporting a timelapse of 1900 Small Raw slide show images as video. It can run for 4 days and not much seems to happen. I had done 1500 images in less than an hour before and they were larger files. What can I do?

Cannot export slide shows with iPhoto 9.6 and OS 10.10

Hallo!
I upgraded to Yosemite last Friday. Everything seems to work fine only iPhoto 9.6 makes some troubles. I cannot export any slide shows. When I click on "export" the small window opens as always before, the first pic is shown in this window, after that the window disappears and nothing else happens. iPhoto doesn't crash, but it also doesn't export any slide shows.
Does anyone have an idea what the reason could be?
Thanks and best regards from Klosterneuburg/Austria

Some folks have fixed this by reinstalling iPhoto:
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.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
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.

Weather widget and slide show problems

Hi
The site is www.heritageharbourcommunity.com
My site opens on a three column fixed page with header and footer. I have been able to define the area between the nav bar and footer as editable. When I go to incontext and try to make that area editable through incontext it seems fine until I test it. I receive a message that the area is not editable and I can make regions editable through incontext. Only the right most column has a dashed line around it. From that I assume the problem is with the weather widget in column 1 and the slide show in column 2.
All of my other pages are single column and seem to work well with incontext. Any suggestions? Thanks...Morgan

Hello MoBet,
InContext Editing regions cannot contain Flash or JavaScript content, so you should wrap the sections you want to have editable with div tags to separate them from this content. For example:

Nivo Picture Slide-Show Problems

Hi, I have been trying to correctly implement this Nivo Picture Slider into my website for awhile now, so far I have not been able to get it working the way I want it to.
I uploaded the website I am currently working on to a temporary link so I am able to show anyone willing to help where I am with the page and slider business. The coding for the nivo slider may be sloppier than intended because I tried adding things little by little to see if I could get it to work.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong and let me know how I can get this Nivo picture slide show up and running? I'm looking to make it so that the image in the banner area underneath the logo switches to another picture every few seconds.
As always, any and all help is greatly appreciated.
http://911contents.com/index.html
Above is the link to the website so far, ignore the website layout looking wild please, I know what's causing that problem. I just need to get the slide show working.

I would start by ensuring the links to your javascript files are coded correctly. You have a LOT of scripts all linked as CSS. You can also combine these into far fewer files.
<link href="jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="jquery.nivo.slider.js" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> 
<link href="css/jQuery.js" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="css/jQuery.min.js" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="jquery.prettyPhoto.js" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="cufon-yui.js" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="swfobject.js" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="pk_frontend.js" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="font.js" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
All of the above should start <script type="text/javascript" href="FileLocation.js" />.
