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 .

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.

ERROR MESSAGE: Your slideshow cannot be exported as a quicktime movie

I keep getting this message every 2 or 3 files that I try to export a keynote presentation with audio as a movie file.
I'm trying to export movies from presentations that are around 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 min long with audio.
Sometimes Keynote '09 exports the files and sometimes it doesn't.
No idea why.
The exact message says:
Your slideshow cannot be exported as a quicktime movie
There is not enough disk space or there was a problem with the file. Error -1
I have 28 GB of disk available.
Any suggestions?

Thanks, Kyn. I checked for missing audio icons, but they are all visible. Besides, I exported different batches of slides, such as 11-20 and 21 - 30 and 11-12, all with the same result. So, it is not just one slide causing the problem.
I was able to save the entire presentation as an iWork 05 document, then export it as QuickTime from Keynote 2 with success. I'd like to get it working in Keynote 3 as well.

Your slideshow cannot be exported as a QuickTime movie.

Hi,
I have created an Keynote presentation and had exported it many times, over and over, since I need it to be exported. Today, I did it three times, and when I went to change the preference for exporting...
I was using Custom > H.264 @ 60frames @ Key all frames @ Multipass.
I wanted to change to > DV-PAL > @ 30frames @ Quality Best @ Scan progressive @ 4:3.
When I tried to export, 1/3 down the export I got the Error -50.

I have enough disk space but what can be wrong with the file?
I have unchecked exit after last slide.
I need answer fast. I cant rebuild the whole presentation.

Hi Gary,
Thanks for the reply.
I used the default "Full Quality, Large" settings, and the Keynote I'm working on is based on Keynotopia's iPhone-mockup/wireframe slides, so they are 640x960 in size. Here is the export screen:
This is on Mac OS X Mountain Lion with the latest version of Keynote from the App Store.

Exporting slideshow to QuickTime - any more recent answers?

110 mb slideshow incorporating movie clips exported from imovie to quicktime.
i've done this successfully in the past, but now get the "your slideshow cannot be exported as a quicktime movie" error.
way more than ample disk space available.

preference is checked for "exit show after last slide."
i really need a workaround - having done this successfully in the past, i just buried a ton of time in a presentation that needs to be quicktimed for import to imovie for control of two soundtracks.
deeply appreciate all responses. thanks.

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.

Cant export to a Quicktime movie! Export fails.

Im trying to export to a Quicktime movie.
I keep getting the error message,
"Operation could not be completed. OSStatus Error -9459."
I got the export to work once and since that I keep getting the error message and failure.
The slide show originally had a couple of Quicktime movies in it as slides.
When I took them out, the export worked once.
But now it simply wont export.
What can I do to fix this?

Terence,
Youre a genius!
It worked.
(My machine was going to sleep while I was trying to export.
I changed settings to prevent sleeping and the render completed.)
Thanks for the help.

Exporting MPEG-4 Quicktime movie

I'm trying to export an iMovie MPEG-4 project to Quicktime. The movie size (all clips sizes added together) is around 64MB. I'm setting 'full quality.' The result is a 13MB movie that Quicktime cannot open (simply 'The movie could not be opened').
If I export with 'expert settings' to MPEG-4 it works. I get a 45MB movie out of it that Quicktime can actually play. But why doesn't it work if I just choose 'full quality'? With 'expert settings' the are lot of parameters to set, and honestly I have no idea what are the best settings. What I want out of it is a movie with the same quality as the incoming clips. Since it was reduced to 45MB, I assume it's further compressed. Also, I would prefer that it was more user friendly without a lot of parameters to set. My wife will never be able to use it if she has to go through a lot of settings. Is there an easy, automatic way to do this?

Full Quality exports to a QuickTime movie that's the
same type and quality as the project itself. So a DV
project exports to a DV movie, but an MPEG-4 project
exports to an MPEG-4 movie. (The project type always
determines the export movie type.) Usually the Full
Quality movie isn't good for sharing for it is too
large.
All the other "Compress movie for" popUp menu
selections create an MPEG-4 movie too, suitable for
the item shown in the menu.
There are other ways to export simply too. They all
begin with choosing Expert Settings and hitting the
Share button.
Note the two popUp menus at the bottom of the window
that opens. Use the "Export" popUp to set the type of
export you want. In your case, "Movie to MPEG-4".
Then you can configure your export two ways:
1. Click the "Options" button and configure your own
settings. Not easy to do unless you know quite a lot
about QuickTime.
Or;
2. Set the "Use" popUp to "Broadband - High" or some
other configuration. This popUp lets you pick a
"recommended" group of export settings, eliminating
the need to configure your own.
The various categories in the "Use" popUp are
associated with the purpose of the movie, letting you
pick settings best suited for everything from
high-speed networks to dial-up connections.
Note too that after you set the "Use" popUp, you can
click the "Options" button to examine those settings
and adjust any you want. The bottom of that window
tells you the expected size of the export and other
useful information.
Many of the "Use" popUp menu settings are similar to
the "Compress movie for" settings in the iMovie
export dialog. But "Use" settings are more
configurable and more details are shown.
Karl
TIP: it can take a long time to export an iMovie
project. When testing the quality of a particular
export, don't export the entire project. Use the
"Share selected clips only" button in the export
dialog to export a minute or so.
Good idea. Why didn't I think of this? I just tried to export the whole movie repeatedly. The interesting thing is, if I just export a single clip, the resulting movie can be opened by Quicktime (as opposed to the whole movie). Alas, the quality is awfull. The size has been reduced from 9MB to 2MB, so obviously 'full quality' does not preserve the quality.
Also, exporting as MPEG-4 movie (.mp4) doesn't work either, again it reduces the quality. Exporting to QuickTime, but choosing the MPEG-4 coder works, though. There are some settings to choose, but most are straightforward, except 'key frames'. I have no idea what it means, I just set it to 'automatic'? I don't really know how to set the quality slider either. I guess I can experiment, and set it so that the size of the output is approximately the same as the input. I would assume that that means there is no quality loss?
Once I have set up this, it seems iMovie remembers the settings (are those project specific?), and then my wife can just use those without modifying anything.

Exporting Custom Resolution Quicktime Movie with Custom Pixel Aspect Ratio

I want to export some 16x9 sequences (and others) at different resolutions with different pixel aspect ratios.
I have tried exporting as a Quicktime movie, but I get a codec error (with my required H.264 & AAC audio).
I have tried exporting using Quicktime conversion, but there is nowhere to enter a custom pixel aspect ratio (if they added that as an option in “preserve aspect ratio”, that would be nice).
I have tried exporting using Compressor, but it doesn't seem to accept my setting of pixel aspect ratio (HDV 1080i 16:9)—at least when I play back the video it is not using wide pixels.
Thanks for any suggestions.
G5

I would like to have arbitrary control of the pixel frame size on export as well as arbitrary control of the pixel aspect ratio. However, in this case I specificially want to export some video in a 4:3 pixel arrangement (such as 360x270) but have its display be 16:9 via non-square (i.e. 4:3) pixel aspect ratio.
In that sense, yes, I want to have something play back at 16:9, but at least some of my attempts to export video are squished at 4:3.
While it may be possible to adjust the display in the Quicktime Player, the AVC video syntax as specified by ISO and MPEG standards bodies allow the specification of the pixel aspect ratio (actually sample aspect ratio in the standard) within the bitstream, and when it is there, the latest versions of Quicktime will (from my experience) render the video with the correct aspect ratio.

How to export a multitrack quicktime mov?

Hello,
So I'm trying to export a multitrack quicktime movie, so that my clients on the other end can have all 6 audio tracks laid out on their end. I've tried assigning roles to each track, and exporting using the option (export as multitrack quicktime movie), but it always ends up collapsing all audio tracks into one single track.
Has anyone found a more reliable workaround for this?
Specs. FCPX 10.1.4, OSX 10.10.2

You have to set how you want the roles to be exported in the settings tab.
Use the "Add Audio Track" button to create as many audio tracks as you need, and use the popups to switch the roles on or off, as desired, per track.
For example:

When exporting as a quicktime movie, final cut pro crashes!

When exporting as a quicktime movie, final cut pro crashes about 3/4ths the way through the 12 hour process. I'm saving it to a La Cie 500 GB disc by fire wire. It's worked before but after I converted one SD sequence (that was shot in HD)to a HD sequence, I haven't been able to export it and it won't play straight at anything bigger than 25% size. Please if you have any advice I won't forget it. I'm trying to export as ProHD 1060i.

I converted one SD sequence (that was shot in HD)to a HD sequence
How, exactly? And what were the settings of your new HD sequence? DVCPRO HD 1080 60i?

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 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!
Anne

Hi annelouise,
Only one song exporting with Slideshows
Right now, 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.

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.

What settings to use when exporting HD into QuickTime Movie

This help call goes out to any Mac user with Final Cut. I need help!!!
I have a Mac G5 and use Final Cut Pro V. 5.1.4. I Just bought a Canon XH A1 and filmed a few test shoots. Then downloaded to FC Pro. I have been trying to export using QuickTime Conversion. Every setting I have tried comes out more or less square. HELP!!!!
My Settings:
In Easy Setup - HDV - 1080i60 FireWire Basic
Under Sequence the setting is:
Frame Size - HD (1440X1080) (16:9)
Pixel Aspect Ratio - HD 1440X1080
No check mark in Anamorphic 16:9
Field Dominance- Lower
Editing Timebase - 29.97
QuickTime Video Settings:
Compression - Motion JPEG B
Under Export - using QuickTime Conversion - QuickTime Movie - Options - Video Settings:
I tied:
HDV 1080i60 and 50
Motion JPEG A and B
DVCPRO HD 1080i60
All settings come out squarish!!!

Hi Patrick,
Thanks for the info. But I can not get any setting to come out looking widescreen. All settings come out square looking. I have tried every setting I can think of but all the QuickTime exported movies come looking like (i.e.: 800X854) more box than widescreen. I think it must be some setting I do not know about or some combination or possibly the capture setting (easy setup).
Thanks for your help.
