Exporting Slideshows in Different Formats

Ok everyone, I'm having a few problems. I just recently ugraded to iPhoto 5.0.4 and everything is fine and dandy, but I'm wondering if there's any way that I can export slideshows that I create in different formats. Let me explain my situation; I'm a high school student in an Advanced Biology class, and our class has it's own website for the projects we do. My teacher has asked me to try to figure out a way to create slideshows with all the pictures we have for the different projects, then save/export them in a format that we can post on a web page. A friend of mine recommended that we make a page with links so that people could select their connection speed and format that they would like to download the file in, for example QuickTime, Real Player, Windows Media, Flash, etc... I've figured out how to export the files in QuickTime and Real Player compatible formats, but that's it. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

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.

No audio when exporting slideshow in any format

Hi, anybody knows what can be the reason - when I export my slideshows in any format (youtube, HD, different framerates, codecs etc..) I do not hear any sound. Tried iTunes and QuickTime. When i see the preview in Aperture everything is correct.
I'm using trial version of Aperture 3 by the moment.
Thanks a lot for your help in advance!

See this other discussion thread. it appears to be related to HOW you connect the audit (master track versus 2nd track). http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2351791&tstart=45

Exported slideshow slightly different

When I play a slideshow with music in iPhoto, the slides and music are synced just like I want them. When I export it as a quicktime movie to iDVD, however, that changes slightly as if the slides are running by faster. Is this just a glitch that I have to live with?
Cynthia

Hi cynthia,
right now it is a glitch that many are encountering.
You might trying exporting just the slideshow without the music.
Bring that slideshow into iMovie and adding the audio track there.
Make sure the video and audio match up, then save the slideshow in your Movies folder.
Open iDVD, create a new project, and customize your theme.

Exporting in a different format other than HTML?

Hello. I made an animation in Adobe Edge Animate CC Pro and I can play it on my computer just fine with the .HTML document. Just when I tried to post it to Facebook to show everyone it wasn't one of the supported file types. Ok np it's just facebook. I recently started up my Creative Cloud online storage and when I tried uploading just the .HTML file it wouldn't play, yet images show up just fine on my CC file storage. You would think this .HTML would be easy to open in any browser, is there anyway to export these animations I make as GIF's? Why would the HTML file not play on the Cloud server? Do I need to have the whole project saved to the drive anywhere I go for it to play in its .HTML format?
Please Help.

If you really want others to check out your animation without having a true web-hosting facility (so not really published, but as a test or sneak-peak), try using this method:
set the Publishing settings to generate a Web instance, and let it publish the lot. Find the folder, rename the html file to something like "check_this_out.html" (so recipients know which file to open), and zip it. Send this zip file by email, or put this one any cloud to be downloaded. Hopefully the interested users know how to open a zip file...
Note: check the Publishing setting "Host runtime files on Adobe CDN" - it must be OFF to let users view your animation also off-line, otherwise the animation will start looking for some essential auxiliary files online.
Most cloud servers are not really "web" servers, so they don't store files in a way that physically reflects the proper hierarchy of files and folders as you upload them. The comprehension between i.e. the html files and images can't be retrieved and put to work on such servers. Just like Facebook, they store everything in huge databases, as a matter of fact.

Movie gets truncated when exporting to a different format

I have just upgraded to Quicktime Pro to allow me to convert formats. Trying to export a 40 second .mov or .m4v file to a .wmv format, the resulting .wmv file gets truncated after about 30 seconds. This is happening to all other similarly structured file conversions.
Any advise or answer is appreciated!

Pay the people at http://flip4mac.com for one of the upgrades to their product you're using to exit the "trial mode" version.

QT Pro - WHY will it not export as a different format?

Loaded up a Photo-JPEG file into Quicktime player.
It came off a Mac, so I need it as a 10 bit BlackMagic file.
Problem - Quicktime will not export the blasted thing.
It just sits there, on 0%, doing absolutely nothing.
What am I doing wrong?
The file plays in QT Pro, yet it refuses to export a single frame.
This has - so far - been an appalling waste of money, as it simply refuses to even work most of the time.

Sounds like something is wrong with the QuickTime install or it may be permissions related to the directory you're reading from or exporting to.
I don't have any problems exporting to any format in my version 7 Pro on a PC.
You would probably want to export to DV Stream (.dv) or to AVI using DV codec. These files should be viewable in your PC software.
PHOTO-JPEG is a very old dependable codec that works on Mac's and PC's.
To "test" your Pro install you should make a ten second Image Sequence file and try exporting it to .dv or .avi (with DV codec).

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.

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 necessaryw on a projection TV, if so how

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.

Exporting Multiple Artboards of Different Formats Easily

I have one document with multiple artboards. I need to export each artboard with different formats and ppi. Is there a way I can do this quickly and efficiently without having to export each artboard individually? Thank you in advance for your time, insight, and help.

Thanks for the reply Wade.
It an unusual sitatution. I have a whole document created in illustrator. I'm handing it over to a client for them to work on in-house and they've requested an inDesign file. Ideally I'd like a way of exporting my ai file into an indd file. Haven't been able to find a way of doing this at the moment.

Exporting different formats in the same sequence.

I created a sequence in FCE mixing both DV footage and MP4 footage (H.264 codec). I had no problems importing into FCE and working with both at the same time.
When I export quicktime movie to idvd and watch the dvd on a tv, the dv footage looks beautiful but the MP4 footage is very blurry.
I then tried many different compression options for export, but anything that makes the MP4 footage look good makes the dv footage look terrible.
Is there an export option in FCE that would create a reasonable looking DVD from original source material in different formats?

We used 2 different cameras when filming a project. I don't currently have access to the one used to film the MP4 footage. It saved onto a memory card during filming and I got it onto my computer by connecting the video camera and dragging the clips to a file on my desktop.
An example of the names the clips saved under is SDV_0403.MP4, SDV_0404.MP4, etc.
Properties of a sample clip as follows:
Kind: MPEG-4 Movie
Dimensions: 720x480
Codecs: H.264, AAC
Duration: 00:25
Size: 17.6 MB on disk
Channel count: 2
Total bit rate 5,911
Sorry if there's irrelevant info there...I'm not sure what's necessary.
I would just drag the clips right from the file on my desktop to FCE either into the timeline or the canvas and insert them among others. Then render them so I could see them in the canvas, editing and rendering as necessary.
I will try the mpeg streamclip in the future, but I'm freaking out a bit because I've already edited hours of footage, and fear having to go back to the beginning to re-import my source footage and start from scratch. I definitely won't be working with multiple formats in the future. I'm just trying to salvage this project now as best I can.

Can I export in different formats at the same time?

Most of my pictures are in different formats. When I choose ones of different formats and then try and export them at the same time, I have to choose what format to put them in(TIFF, JPEG, etc.) Is there an option to export each one in it's original format or do they all have to be exported in one format of my choosing?
Maybe I just don't understand formats and how Aperture makes adjustments from Masters to Versions.
Please help if you can.
Thanks,
Brian

i do all the time. Select the images you want to export and start to export. Once the export begins, select a second set of images and start to export. You can watch the exports through Activity Monitor under Window Menu.

QT Pro 7- Unable to export to different formats

I recently purchased QT Pro 7 so I can convert .mov files to .avi or .wmv. I entered the serial number and it does show as QT Pro 7. Some of the so called features work such as full screen, but when I try to convert a .mov file, there are no options in Export - Save as file type. Any anwers? Had I known Apple did not support QuickTime, I would never have bought it and they won't refund my money.
PC Place Windows XP AMD Sempron 2800; 1 GB RAM: Web Trends PC-cillin Internet Security; WebRoot Spy Sweeper; Internet Explorer

Before QT Pro can export it must be able to play the file without any errors.
Open the file and choose "Export" from the File menu.
Pick from the "Export :" dialog one of the many different formats.
Click the "Options" button to change settings.
QuickTime Pro doesn't play (or export to) Windows Media Player formats.

How to change the format of an iPhoto exported slideshow?

Some of my iPhoto exported slideshows are in MP4 format and others are in stamdard DVD fprmat (VOB).
How do I select the desired format for an export?

WHen you export a slideshow, note the Custom button lower left of the export window.
However, iPhoto will not export a VOB. That was created with some DVD software, not iPhoto.

Exporting SlideShows in H.264 Format?

Hi,
I was just trying to export an iPhoto Slideshow to Quicktime H.264. Currently i see only Export -> Large (720 x 480). Is any way to export it has a HD Quality Quicktime film?
Many thanks
Alex
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi Alex,
I am not sure if you can export a slideshow to H.264 within iPhoto. I do know that you can open the exported slideshow with Quicktime Pro and export it is H.264. By the way, it does a fantastic reduction of file size and the quality is great.

Best screen size for exporting slideshow as pdf

Help please,I create slide shows for clients and export them in pdf format that are shown to numerours people but who are viewing the slide shows on different size displays ,what are the best settings both in silde show mode and creating and exporting as a PDF( height and width) so the images in the slide show will best and be maximized on all screens ?,size of the exported PDF is not a issue.
Any help is welcomed,Thanks
PS will there be any viewing difference ,if a slideshow created on a pc in Lightroom and shown on a Mac?

Having just tried to do the same thing, IMHO the Adobe PDF engine does not do the best job of resizing images. I exported at 1200x1600 and on my 1280x1024 screen there were noticeable jaggies on the text. The image itself was less noticeably degraded, but it was. For slide shows I use another product that does a much better job here, but you may not want to add another learning curve to your life. I think you should go to the PDF forum and ask around for a solution.
I can't speak to Mac/Pc issues.
