Favorite slide show program

Would folks list their favorite program for constructing a slide show and what they like about it? I find the slide show in iPhoto to be somewhat limiting in its abilities. I looked at Photo to Movie yesterday and it certainly looked like it had a lot of flexibility. Other ideas? thanks Dave

Final Cut Express is pretty much the best there is - well you could go to Final Cut Studio but that’s a heck of a price jump!
Why? Unlimited video and audio tracks. Want to throw the photos across the screen like a pack of cards? Think seven or eight different images - each panning and scanning at their own rate - onscreen at the same time. Edit music, voice, commentary, text all in the application. Pretty much any transition you can imagine built in, and more available via plug-ins.
Want to make themes for your slideshow? Any graphics editor and some time...
Yes there is a learning curve, no doubt about it.
PhotoToMovie is a fine app too, but you’re down to one video track at a time. iMovie 09 has Picture in Picture - which is effectively two video tracks.

  • Slide show program for iMac

    I was a Window user that switched to Mac about a year ago.  I use PhotoShow Gold to create some wonderful slide shows.  When I made the switch I thought I could use Parallels to continue using Proshow.  For the most part it has worked out.  But recently I have started running into instability problems with Proshow.  Part of the problem is that I dont use it on a regular basis...2-3 projects a year.
    I am looking for a Mac product that will allow me to do the same thing that I can get from Proshow Gold...images/videos, add music and creative transitions.  Any suggestions?
    Just upgraded to Maverick.
    Thanks

    There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
    If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
    Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
    http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
    (Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico:  http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
    Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
    Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie  as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast,  for burning.
    You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
    To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

  • Sound cuts out on DVD slide shows with music

    I have tried 5 DVD slide show programs with the same result.  Hewlett Packard says my hardware is OK but I have a compatability problem.  My wife has the same compaint.  Can you help with my computer?

    Before doing anything with the computer in question, backup all the music files in question to either a flash drive or CD. Try  that music, etc on an independent computer, either friend's or at a library to see if the files are good and do not exhibit the problems that are being observed on the computer in question.  If they play OK elsewhere, then try the "Recovery Partition Manager" to return the computer to "like from the factory".  With all the software experimenting, it could be a problem between the different software installs. Once the computer is "like from the factory" again, then try to play the music that was backed up on the "factory fresh" installation without any other software installs.  Report back on how that goes.

  • Pse 7 slide show

    Hello
    Is it possible in pse 7 slide show to bring in more than one photo per screen shot ie like picture of Mom and Dad and then bring in smaller photo's of children on same slide.
    Roxy

    >Is it possible in pse 7 slide show to bring in more than one photo per screen shot ie like picture of Mom and Dad and then bring in smaller photo's of children on same slide.
    I suggest that you use the Photoshop Elements editor to make whatever "composite" photo you wish and then you can use that "composite" photo file for the slide in the PSE 7 slide show.
    However, if your intent is to display first the picture of Mom and Dad and then
    b dynamically
    bring in photo(s) of children,
    -- then no the Photoshop Elements slide show does not have this capability. You need a more advanced slide show program or Adobe Premiere Elements video editor picture in picture also has the capability.
    -- an alternative in the Photoshop Elements slide show that you might try (but will not be very precise) is to create the composite photo file in the PSE editor and then use the Zoom or Pan feature of the slide show so that you set the box to start the zoom (or pan) with only the parents visible and then zoom out (or pan) so that the children become visible.

  • Create 16:9 slide shows!?

    Why can't I create slide shows in 16:9 format!? 4:3 is so outdated today (2013).

    If you don't have Premiere Elements as well, then you are limited to the Windows Media formats. In addition to the profiles I pointed out above, I've since seen that Photoshop Elements is supplied with several more options in the path C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\Assets\locale\en_US\tv_profiles (for PSE12).
    The ones entitled 'Widescreen Enhanced Definition and Widescreen High Definition may be worth trying. If neither these, nor the the HD Windows Media format I linked to above. still don't produce what you want, then you will need to look elsewhere for a solution. ProShow Gold - Fast and Fun HD Slideshows, a dedicated slide show program, is well recommended.
    Please do try those other profiles and post back if they worked for you or not.
    Cheers,

  • Wanting to make a high quality slide show

    I have pse 5 and want to make slide shows. I know that I must save the show to .wmv.
    Please give me some tips on making the best quality HD tv slide show using pse 5. I am primarily concerned with visual quality, not features such as a 1000 different transitions.
    As far as VCD's go, are they capable of producing excellent quality, assuming a short slide show?
    Or, will I have to get Premiere to get the best playback quality?
    Lastly, do the stand alone slide show programs create better quality (not transitions, etc.) shows?
    Thanks very much in advance.
    Steve.

    >As far as VCD's go, are they capable of producing excellent quality, assuming a short slide show?
    simple and direct answer - NO
    >best quality HD tv slide show using pse 5
    How will you play back this slide show on your HD TV?
    Do you have a Media Center configuration where you can play from your PC to your TV?
    Do you have a DVD burner that can burn Blue Ray DVDs and a TV DVD player that can play the Blue Ray DVDs?
    Premiere Elements does have the potential to give you better quality for TV playback from a DVD. More info and suggestions sort of depend on responses to those questions above as well as the specifications of your PC and therefore its capability to handle HD video.
    EDIT - adding comment
    If you want to pursue the Premiere Elements discussion, there is a forum at muvipix.com (a site started by some regulars at the Adobe Premiere Elements forum) that may be a better forum for this discussion.
    >Lastly, do the stand alone slide show programs create better quality (not transitions, etc.) shows?
    Potentially yes. ProShow Gold is a program that some Photoshop Elements users like for their slide shows. Hopefully someone who is using that software will post to this thread.

  • VCD slide show

    Using Elements 4 in win I get pretty alful results when burning a VCD slide show to a CD. It is really slow, whole process takes almost 20 seconds per slide to process and burn and video quality is poor. I can export the same picture file to ProShow Gold, use their transistions and burn a VCD in about 5 seconds per slide. Picture quality is also about 4 times better. Is this just the way it is, or is there a better way to get a disk that shows both on PC and TV. JPEG files work great but no transistions.........roy barker

    Richard,
    >How about creating DVD (as opposed to VCD) slide shows in Elements 4, are they ok or do they have the same problems?
    You can not burn a slide show to a DVD for playing on your TV using Photoshop Elements 4.
    1) The following techdoc describes the possible interfaces to make the DVD from Adobe Premiere Elements
    http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/330734.html
    techdoc says PSE 3, but I believe it is the same for PSE 4.
    2) You can save the slide show within PSE 4, as a WMV file and then use other software to author the DVD (encode as MPEG2 format and build folder structure required for TV DVD players). For example, My DVD player came with a limited version of Sonic MyDVD and I have made a TV playable DVD using this process. (Of course, you can do this same process using PSE 3.)
    General comments:
    Any time you save the slide show first as a WMV file and then separately make the MPEG2 DVD, there is some degradation of the image quality. So in the above sequences, this is only this avoided by doing the Send to Premiere Elements command. However, when doing a slide show (video) of family snapshots, you may still be OK on quality with the WMV then DVD steps and it will be significantly better than a VCD from PSE 4.
    Purchasing PSE 4 for the purpose of making slide shows has disappointed many people. Its slide show functions are enhanced over PSE 3, but as I mentioned there is still no DVD burning in PSE. Spending your money on a separate slide show program might be a more cost effective choice if your top priority is slide shows. If you are purchasing PSE 4 for other reasons, then I suggest experimenting.
    If you consider purchasing Premiere Elements, be sure to check the hardware and software requirements very, very, very carefully. You need Windows XP as a starter, but the processor requirements are also significantly higher.

  • Suggestions:  alternatives to Slide Show Pro?

    Hi, I have Slide Show Pro (with Director) and I like it -- but before formatting my entire site around it, does anyone suggest any alternative slide show programs of comparable quality?
    Is there any robust presentation program that interfaces directly with Aperture (like SSP does with Adobe Lightroom?)
    Thanks for your tips!

    Hi, thanks a lot for the input. Fotomagico looks very nice -- the only thing I'm unclear on is whether it essentially exports just linear videos, or if the web user can manually advance to the next photo, go back, pause the show, etc.; all while keeping a music bed playing. (these are the things I like about Slideshow Pro...)
    Also, it appears that you can't have thumbnail navigation to the side or below to jump to a shot?
    Thanks again for your help!

  • Why can't I burn my slide show to DVD in photoshop elements 13. Do I have to buy another program update .?

    Photo shop elements make a nice slide show but will not let me burn it to DVD which makes it useless to me.
    How do I get the photoshop slide show to burn in another program.?

    Thanks so much for your possible solution. If I can pull this off , I will no longer curse adobe PSE 13.
    I'm still a long was off to accomplish this goal but I will surely give it a try. H264 (mp4) is still Greek to me.

  • I have created a slide show with music but when i view it or attempt to burn to a CD or even copy to hard drive after about 15 sec the program stops working and it shuts down

    Elements 10 was deactivated on desktop and installed on new laptop.  Have on
    y used it for photo editing until yesterday. Created a slide show with music but every time I try to burn to cd or move it to hard drive after about 15 sec, it says windows has encountered a problem with this program and must shut down.
    I Also can't sign in to adobe with the program. It simply spins and I had to force close the program.
    help!?

    I am using photoshop Elements 10 under the create tab...slide show.
    Used it on my desktop several times. Deactivated it and installed on new lap top about 5 months ago.  Had not used it other than for photo editing until today.
    I can also not login in thru the program. It simply spins and I finally had to force close the program

  • Image quality of slide shows using Aperture 3 seems inferior to iPhoto '08

    I haven't previously used Aperture. I've been using a copy of iPhoto '08 for several years. I've shot everything in RAW for the last several years and process it in
    DXO on my Mac Pro (3 1/2 years old with 7 gigs of RAM). I then load the jpegs into iPhoto '08.
    I downloaded Aperture 3 yesterday, and it certainly is impressive in what it can do for improving existing jpegs. I think I could do most touch-ups with Aperture
    instead of Photoshop 3. Because of some glitch, I couldn't load or link to my 37,000 images from iPhoto but I did export about 4000 images as full jpegs into
    a separate file and then imported these images into Aperture. Touch-ups are an order of magnitude better that trying to use iPhoto to do the same.
    I'm an amateur and aside from a fair amount of print making and a few thousand images uploaded to a new Picasa account
    http://picasaweb.google.com/jamesn88888
    I enjoy a lot of my images via slide shows on my 23" Apple monitor, usually sequenced at 3 seconds per slide.
    Comparing slide shows of identical jpegs run with iPhoto '08 and then with the files uploaded to Aperture 3 there is a very subtle loss of definition with Aperture. It's not so
    obvious when viewing relatively large detail but is is very noticeable when running slides containing small detail. When both of these programs are just used to display static images full screen I note no difference in readability. Someone suggested that I check the preferences for preview displays. Sure enough, it was set for relatively low quality. I decided to re-do all 4000 images maximum preview display quality.
    Using the import settings that came already selected on the trial software, the total size of my
    Aperture 3 trial library was a little over 25 GB. The quality of the slide shows did not approximate
    the quality of the slide shows of the identical jpegs included in my iPhoto '08 library.
    I therefore re-processed all of the previews to the "don't limit" in the photo preferences. The total size of my Aperture 3 trial library grew from 25GB to 41.37GB, an increase of 17 GB. With 3926 jpegs in the library that means the average additional size added to each preview image was 4.33 Megabytes. Inasmuch as the original jpeg images that I imported into Aperture 3 were more in the neighborhood of 1.7 to 3.5 Megabytes each (I have DXO output most jpegs @ 90% quality- fine for my purposes), this is an extreme measure to take in order to be able to use Aperture 3 the same way that I used iPhoto '08. In comparing slide shows between the two applications I still get the feeling that there is a very slight loss in acutance when viewing the slide shows. iPhoto still wins out.
    I think that I'm better off staying with iPhoto and continuing to do the RAW processing with DXO and slight file modifications with iPhoto. More elaborate changes can continue to be done using Photoshop 3 and Viveza. It's a shame, because I really like the image processing abilities that are contained in the new Aperture.
    Have any of you compared slide show views on your computer between Aperture and iPhoto?
    Is there any workaround for best slide show viewing- importing or referencing my existing iPhoto library of 37,000 images does not work for me. My copy of iPhoto 7.1.5 get the message that Aperture cannot import or link to iPhoto earlier than 7.1.5 (?)

    I think I've solved my problem with a Google Search. I came across a free slide show generator
    (contributions requested) that shows much higher quality slide shows than either iPhoto or Aperture 3.
    You click on a folder of jpegs and it almost immediately generates thumbnails and within a few seconds
    I can be viewing a full screen, tack sharp, slideshow of all of the files in the folder. Much sharper than
    I'm used to seeing.
    I think I'll keep the Aperture 3 and use if for the purpose it's intended for in the future. I'll also redo the
    image preview files to the small size it started with and then I'll copy all of the files I'm interested in from
    iPhoto into a separate folder on another disk. I'll use Aperture to catalog and to perform image manipulations
    on but I won't try to use it as an iPhoto replacement. I don't think I'll be using iPhoto much as an image
    viewer in the future either after I finish moving my favorite pictures to the Phoenix Slides folder.
    The name of the free program is Phoenix Slides. It's free to download and try, free to keep (though I
    think you'd want to pay the small amount requested) and fast. My pictures have never looked so good
    before.

  • ANNC: Slide Show Magic

    http://www.projectseven.com/products/galleries/ssm/
    Leaps beyond the ordinary...
    Efficient code and buttery smooth animations make for a truly
    engaging
    user experience. Slide Shows and individual images can be
    bookmarked and
    all images can be viewed - even if JavaScript is disabled.
    Search Engine Friendly
    Unlike many of today's Flash and AJAX applications, Slide
    Show Magic
    markup is always fully visible and indexable by leading
    search engines.
    Auto-Choreographed Animation
    Slide Show Magic detects the size of each incoming full-size
    image. If
    it's the same size as the current image, the system will
    employ a smooth
    cross-fader - simultaneously fading out the current image as
    the new one
    fades in. If the incoming image is a different size than the
    current
    one, the system will fade out the current image, glide the
    image
    container to the size of the incoming image, then fade the
    new image in.
    It's all automatic.
    Staged preloader
    When the slide show is running in automatic mode, the system
    will
    preload the next image as the current one is being shown,
    providing a
    seamless experience in most cases.
    Intuitive toolbar controls
    The on-page toolbar contains conventional media controls:
    First,
    Previous, Play, Pause, Next, and Last buttons. It also
    contains a slider
    bar that allows users to adjust the slide show timing, plus
    buttons to
    toggle visibility of the thumbnail display and navigation
    menu, and an
    image counter.
    Drag-enabled thumbnail panel
    The Thumbnail panel can be dragged about the screen, enabling
    users to
    fine-tune the interface for best viewing of the show.
    Full-Size images can be hyperlinks
    Each full-size image can optionally be set as a hyperlink to
    another
    page, programmed to open in a new window or tab.
    Image descriptions
    Each full-size image can display an optional description,
    which can
    contain any type of valid markup (paragraphs, tables, DIVs,
    lists,
    links, or images).
    Automated image processing with Fireworks...
    Web-ready images are automatically produced from your
    original images,
    which can be located on any drive connected to your computer
    - including
    drives mounted by your digital camera. Slide Show Magic
    handles all
    image processing automatically - preserving your original
    files in their
    original locations in their original and unaltered states.
    Your images
    are scaled, optimized, and neatly organized into folders
    within your
    defined site.
    Import your existing images...
    Point to a folder (or folders) that contain your existing
    full-size and
    thumbnail image and Slide Show Magic will match them up and
    add them to
    your slide show - unaltered and ready to view.
    Organize Images into sets
    Slide Show Magic enables you to define logical image sets and
    organizes
    the thumbnail panel into navigable sets.
    Mix landscape and portrait orientations
    Your images are never distorted in any way. Original aspect
    ratios are
    always preserved. Use both landscape and portrait images in
    the same
    slide show.
    Deploy alone or inside existing layouts
    Slide Show Magic can be inserted on a page by itself or
    inside an
    existing page.
    Select from 6 Themes
    Select a dark toolbar, a light toolbar, shadow boxes (in 3
    sizes), or an
    image rotator interface. Style themes can even be switched
    for existing
    slide shows.
    Manage it all inside a dedicated Dreamweaver Interface
    Add (append) new images
    Delete images or re-order them
    Manage Descriptions, links, and ALT text
    Edit existing full-size or Thumbnail images
    Reprocess all of your slide show's images
    And lots more, including a comprehensive manual and free tech
    support.

    Al,
    Wow. That's extremely cool. I currently don't have a need for
    a slideshow,
    but in the future if I do, you know where I'm heading to.
    Nice product!

  • How do I make sure my music will play when I burn a copy of a slide show?

    How do I make sure my music will be included when I burn a copy of a slide show.  I have made many many slide shows over the years with the music in perfect sync to the slides.  I recently updated my iMac to OS 7.  I did not want to do it because I heard it created issues with iPhoto. But because I had updated my iPhone and my iPad, and although I don't like OS 7 (the first time  I have not liked an upgrade)  I thought I could figure out how to solve problems/ differences.  Well, this has me stumped.  It plays perfectly on my iMac, but when I burned a copy to share with friends, the music did not burn or transfer.  Does anyone have any ideas why this does not work, and what I have to do to ensure that the music I selected and added to the slide show using the settings did not burn along with the iPhoto slide show?

    What is really your MacOS X version? iOS 7 is the operating system for iPhone, iPad, iPod.
    But what versions are you using on your iMac? Have you upgraded to Mavericks, MacOS X 10.9.x and iPhoto 9.5.1, or are you using an earlier version?
    It plays perfectly on my iMac, but when I burned a copy to share with friends, the music did not burn or transfer.
    How did you export the slideshow and burn the DVD?
    To have the music play along with the slideshow, you need to export your Slideshow project as a video file - use the "Export" button below the Slideshow window and select a format.
    Check, if the exported video does play well and the audio is present.
    Then burn a video DVD using iDVD or Toast, or a similar program to burn video DVDs,  see:

  • I want to make a copy of slide show create from my own photographs and with a an audio track behind them. I have carefully followed the iDVD tutorials and burnt the result to a disc but image quality is very poor. What is wrong?

    I want to make a DVD of a slide-show with an audio track behind the photographs. I have carefully followed the iDVD video tutorials but the result is far from satisfactory. The quality of the images on the resulting DVD are blurred and indistict although the original photographs are of a very high quality. Where am I going wrong? Would I have better results from a different program than the inbuilt iDVD and if so so what programs have others found to be better? I should be grateful for some expert guidance.

    Hey Falcopebo,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Looks like you have image quality issues when using iDVD to burn.
    iDVD 7.0: Burned DVD has interlacing, pixelation, or image quality issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4078
    A standard DVD made by iDVD is made to the standard DVD resolution of 720 X 480, which is smaller than most HDTVs and monitors. When expanded to fit the entire screen or monitor, the image will distort slightly due to upscaling to fit the screen or monitor.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • How to make vintage prints slide show one photo at a time?

    Does anyone know to program the vintage prints slide show to display only one photo at a time?

    The slideshow templates are fixed and can't be changed.
    Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
    iMovie, on every Mac sold.
    Others, in order of price: PhotoPresenter  $29
    PhotoToMovie  $49.95
    PulpMotion  $129
    FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
    Final Cut Express  $199
    It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.
