Faulty slideshow transitions in iPhoto 5.0.4

Since upgrading to iPhoto 5.0.4 I am unable to successfully run any slideshow transitions except "Dissolve" on my PowerBook G4 17" with the 23" cinema display. ALL the transitions on my 20" FlatPanel work fine.
I have tried re-installing 5.0.4, restarting my computer, repairing permissions in Disc Utility, transferring my iPhoto Library from the 20" FlatPanel to the 17" PowerBook, all without success. I would appreciate any help or suggestions with grateful thanks.
PowerBook G4 17" Mac OS X (10.4.3) With Apple 23" Cinema HD Display

An update... I've discovered that whenever "dissolve" or "fade to black" is played for any photo in the slide show, all others then default to "dissolve". To me, this is clearly a bug! For example, when I set the overall default to be "cube", and all photos set to "default (cube)", it plays fine. When I adjust just one photo to "dissolve", then cube plays for all photos up to that one, then all subsequent photos play "dissolve", and this even continues when the slide show auto-repeats (even thought the fist ones in the show first played "cube")!! I have to quite iPhoto and restart to get back the cube transition. If I set the one photo to "fade to black", a very similar behaviour... all photos after the "fade to black" photo play "dissolve" (yes! not fade to black, but DISSOLVE!) I spent a good amount of time with Apple this week, all the way up to a product specialist. The 2nd level tech support seems to think it's an iPhoto bug, somehow in the way it behaves on the G4 sawtooth. The product specialist was a bit more cagey, suggesting that no one has ever called in with this complaint, and blaming my processor upgrade (a Sonnet 1.2G which has never given me any problem). So... please call in if you have this problem and make your voice heard!!

Slideshow Transitions in iPhoto 3 won't export to QuickTime

Hello,
Would anyone be able to offer any suggestions/solutions to the problem I'm having with Slideshow transitions in iPhoto? I like the Cube transition, for example, and it appears on the screen when I tell iPhoto to play a slideshow that I am developing, but when I go to export same as a QuickTime movie, the transition in effect is Dissolve and not the specified Cube.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Sincerely,
ByTheLIghtOfQuiveringAspensMade

BTLQAM:
Can you give us some additional information regarding your setup: model, RAM, hard drive size and free space, system version, QT version, and exact iPhoto version?
You will have to update to iPhoto 5 in order to be able to get other than the dissolve transition in your iPhoto QT slideshows.

Slideshow transitions iPhoto-FrontRow

Hi, I read about changing slideshow options to an album in iPhoto to make them apply also in Front Row. I tried that, i started an album slideshow in iPhoto and selected "Ken Burns effect" and "fade-out transition", but in Front Row if I play that album only the Ken Burns effect applies, pictures are displayed in sequence without any transition effect.
How can I set also a transition effect in Front Row?

You may need to create an actual "Slideshow" project in iPhoto rather than applying the settings to a regular album of pictures.

Slideshow transitions

Does anyone know if third-party plug-ins are available for iPhoto slideshow transitions? Or, is there a way to edit the characteristics of an existing transition?
I was disappointed in the dissolve transition in iPhoto 5, in that the image brightness dims during the transition. This makes transitions between images that build on each other seem too obvious instead of allowing the new element to just fade into view (particularly noticeable when using a white background). This aspect appears unchanged in iPhoto 6.
I'd love to know if anyone else has been frustrated by this. Have you discovered a work-around, or is there another slideshow program that gives more control in this area but will still export to iDVD?

Frederick:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Haven't seen any 3rd party transitions available for iPhoto. If you don't use Ken Burns effects you can build your slideshow right in iDVD by importing from an album in iPhoto and add your transition in iDVD. You will be limited to only 1 transition per slideshow the the image quality is generally superior to that of the slideshows created in iPhoto and exported to iDVD.

Slideshow Transition

Aloha,
I've created a slideshow using approx. 45 photos from iphoto and 1 song. I set the transitions for each photo separately (instead of the default cross dissolve) to mix it up a little. I've noticed that every time I use page peel it turns the photo grey (appears as though a grey screen filter was placed on top of photo) right before the page peel transition begins. Kind of annoying, does anyone have a work-around, besides avoiding the page peel altogether?
Much appreciated!

What did you put the Slideshow transition setting on? I think you the problem may be that you're selecting a photo folder and going directly to a photo. Once you select the folder of photos that you want to view as a slideshow, hit the play button on your iPod. It should then start the show.

The slideshow feature in iPhoto: Can we record or create a file of it?

one month into my first Mac and I keep get blowing away by its features. Today I started using the iPhoto and imported all my pictures from my pc into it.
WOW
from a dry, dumb, still pictures, using the iPhoto's slideshow tool, I can now have a slideshow so professional that it makes me look like a hot shot director... what with the music and all that as the slideshow runs.
BUT
Can I convert the slideshow into a video file or something so I can upload it on my blog?
PLEASE PLEASE SAY IT IS POSSIBLE AND easy to do this...
(sorry for the caps... am too excited by seeing the slideshow effects in iPhoto)

That's very simple...Under "file" choose Export. Choose the resolution/screen size, hit ok. Save to your desktop or somewhere else, then hit export button. A Quicktime movie will be produced and you're set and ready to put this moviejust about anywhere. Good luck.

The slideshow feature in iphoto 9.5.1 not working properly

The slideshow feature in iphoto 9.5.1,does not start at the first slide no matter what I do

You're running the slideshow directly from an album or an Event, correct. This has been a problem for a number of users and there's not been a fix discovered.
Many found that creating the slideshow in the slideshow mode will eliminate that problem.

SlideShow transition IE finally working except

Well I finally got it to work with 2 small problems.
Hopefully someone has come across this and knows if there is a solution.
Problems:
1) not everything is staying centered on the index page when changing the window width in IE browser and emulating ie7. It works in Safari and FireFox and my other pages in IE browser NOT emulating IE7.
2) the shadow boxes are not working on the index page... again in IE browser and emulating ie7.

The SlideShow transition fix:
I added the following meta tag to my index page:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
The (Slideshow basic) did not work and I had to use the (SlideShow with filmstrip) as stated by (W Bell)... link provided by Gramps below.
I could not install the slideshow with filmstrip directly into my page from the widget browser in dreamweaver... From the widget browser I saved the (SlideShow with filmstrip) files to my hard drive and copied spry folders and html code into my page.

That's correct I could not get the basic to work and had to use filmstrip... and strip out every thing that I did not need... the slideshow with filmstrip did not work when I used the (insert widget) in dreamweaver. as mentioned above. I am new and self taught myself, hope this helps.
I also found it very helpful to use a code checker, links below

I ran across the issue of the (panandzoom going off the image and it showing black) I believe it has to do with your css code most likely width and height. below is the only css code I am using that relates the the slideshow.

IOS5 missing slideshow transitions?

After upgrading my iPhone4 to iOS5, it would appear some of my Photo Slideshow Transitions are missing. In particular when I airplay a picture slideshow to an upgraded ATV2, it is stuck on Ken Burns transition which isn't even an option in my transitionsand is too zoomed to see most of the faces. However this is not the case when I play the slide show on my iPhone without airplay, it is uses what ever transition is chosen again Ken Burns is not availalble.
Having had the conversation on another thread with BobbyCo57, we established after the upgrade he had 9 transitions and I have 5.
This follows this thread: iPhone4 to ATV2 slideshow - How do I stop Ken Burns effect?
I figure I cannot turn Kenny Burns off if I can't see it. Below is what I see I'd like to get to 9 transitions, can anyone help?

John,
Why? Do you know? Where do I find that particular thread? The lynda.com tutorial is for CS3. They seem to have all the transitions...also the Library is much richer that what I have? Are there pluggins for the removed tools?
Thanks, --bill

Email a slideshow created on IPhoto

How can I email a slideshow created on IPhoto to a contact who may have a PC?

Export the slideshow - that makes a movie of it, but I wouldn't email it. Simply, sharing video via email is not advisable.
Many email services have an attachment limit of 20mb and some a limit of 10mb. As emails are sent through an array of relays, the effective limit is the smallest file size allowed on any of the relays. That means that video is rarely suitable for emailing.
Then there's the whole issue of Codecs and not all machines will have the codecs to play all videos. Plus, folks with slower connections can find it very inconvenient to download large video files.
Finally, sharing video from iPhoto via email is not supported. All that gets you is the Movie thumbnail. If you feel you must share via email then you'll need to export the video first, and attach that. Use the File -> Export command and set the kind to Original.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Other than that your options include:
Upload it to a sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and email a link - these will allow the recipient to view the material online. That will avoid the codec issues mentions, and the person can still download the video file if they wish.
Upload it to sharing services like Dropbox or YouSendIt and email a link. This will require that they download the material to their machines to view.

Why don't pictures from a slideshow made in iPhoto and then burned on to a DVD in iDVD not use the full screen?

Why don't pictures from a slideshow made in iPhoto and then burned on to a DVD in iDVD not use the full screen?

All I want to do is send my family the pictures for them to be able to see them on most dvds and use manually control.
If you want set top DVD player playback, I suggest you create a a series of slideshows IN iDVD that each contain a MAXIMUM of 99 images. Do not create the slideshow in iPhoto or iMovie.
Is there an easier way to do this, bypassing iDVD?
Some DVD players will play a disc containing jpeg images

No music on slideshow imported from iPhoto

Hi,
I posted the following question in the iPod discussion area and no one responded, so figure I'd give it a try here. I was able to import a slideshow from iPhoto 5.0.4 to a 20GB iPod Color. The slideshow works just fine, but am not getting the music I heard when watching the slideshow on my Mac. BTW, I did go under Settings on the iPod and select music->From iPhoto. Not sure if it makes a difference, but the music on my slideshow is the iPhoto default (Bach "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desire"). Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Ron

Hi,
Try turning the music off in the slideshow (Select: Music icon in bottom right of window, unselect play music during slideshow).
Export the slideshow again (sorry)
Add your play list for the slide show to your ipod.
Add new slide show to your ipod
On ipod go to: Photos:Slideshow settings: Music: select your playlist from the list.
The music should play when you statr your slideshow.
Hope this helps!

How to create an iDVD slideshow from an iPhoto book

Hello,
I created a book in iPhoto and would like to create a DVD of the book. I'm using iDVD 7.1.2 and iPhoto 9.5.1. Is this still a possibility?
Thanks in advance
Scott Lorigan

This tutorial should help: iP05 - Creating an iDVD Slideshow From an iPhoto Book.
Follow this workflow in iDVD to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Any way to use the slideshow in the iphoto "Book"?

Hi All,
Currently, I want to edit slideshows and burn into IDVD. But I prefer the slideshow preview from iphoto "Book" which can edit more comments and slideshow function. Is it any way to select the slideshow from iphoto "book"? rather than just using the single function from the iphoto slideshow (which is not dynamic enough)... please help
Thanks!
Wymond

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can create an iDVD slideshow of a book. It's relatively easy. It's described in Old Toad's Tutorial #6 - Creating an iDVD Slideshow From an iPhoto Book.. I create one for every book I buy. A great way for a group of people to view the book at once.
