Good flash photo slideshow app, FYI

FYI, I've found & have been using a very impressive flash slideshow app (and have abandoned Slideshowpro), Imagevue X. Easy to use, no need to use macromedia flash app, etc. Nice fullscreen images, music, thumbnails, etc.
Example: http://www.gpmalone.com/ (my portfolio)
Software homepage: http://imagevuex.com/
The website doesn't show a trial offer, but if you contact them and ask nicely they'll oblige.

Photo slideshow app?...

Hi all,
I'm after an app which can create some very simple photo slideshows, but with a few specific functions.
a) I want to be able to change to the next photo manually by a click - I'm not interested in being able to set a certain time, but manually change it (more like with Keynote, for example).
b) In addition to this, I was hoping to be able to animate some slides ever so slightly w/ a Ken Burns-style effect.
I've looked into the o obvious choices (i.e. iPhoto, Keynote), but they both come with some drawbacks for my needs:
I am unable to create a slideshow with which I can manually change the photos when I please - I can only set pre-determined times. This is because the Export format is a mov, so it'd clearly not be possible like this.
Keynote is the other option, as it does allow you to manually change slides/photos with a click. However, as I am after the ability to create a slight animation on some photos (a-la Ken Burns), Keynote has two really annoying features:
1) Although it doesn't have a Ken Burns animation built in, you can sort of create your own. But for some reason, you are unable to loop this. This means that once the animation is finished, it will be motionless until I change the slide.
2) If I purposely set the animation duration higher than it will need to be, I'm not able to interrupt that animation to move to the next slide before the animation duration is complete. This means that said slide could end up being on for too long.
One way around this, I have found, is to export a slideshow from iPhoto with just 1 photo in it, w/ the Ken burns effect. I can then import this movie into Keynote, and set that to loop. This way it will continue w/ the motion forever until I interrupt it (which is possible this way). This, however, seems extremely long-winded, and I'm worried about clogging the slideshow up with lots of large files.
I'm sure there must be a more suitable app out there, but I have so far failed to find it. Anyone have any suggestions?!
Many thanks,
Steve

Adding transitions to Flash Photo Slideshow template?

I'm working on generating a template i can use to just drop in photos from shoots for a blog where i discuss the types of projects my team does.
I like the flash slideshow template because once it's all set up the way you want it you can just drop all the photos in on import.
I got everything pretty much tweaked out how i want it - got rid of the controller ball and put the controls and counter on the frame, got it to auto start with the pause/play toggle working correctly (thanks to this forum)
BUT
now i want to add a transition between photos.
I'm thinking I want to extend the number of frames each photo is on stage for add a new layer with a white or black solid and have that fade in and out so that i really can just import in the new images in each time and not require more tweaking but i can't figure out how to change the advance code to say something like "current frame + 15" and set the counter up so it's not affected by the new frames...
I'd like to leave the photo key frames as unmodified as possible so that in the future it really is just a question of dropping in new photos for each blog post...
ideas?

Jim,
You have two ways of doing this,
1.You can put the pictures into Photoshop / Photoshop Element and use the text tool to add your captions.
You can do it in any color or font and then drag it right into iDVD.
2.or do it in iMovie - You have a wide assortment of titles in iMovie. Just uncheck the over black square, I would use the Subtitle, write in the space provided and then pull down the word T Subtitle in front of the picture where you want the titles to appear. Adjust the time with the bar on top. You have a choice of color also. Then put it into iDVD.

Flash Photo Album

I'm looking for a really good flash photo album that I can
use/install within a webpage built by Dreamweaver. I've seen lots
of different applications out there that are designed to do this.
I'm not necessarily looking for freeware. But I am looking for
something that is decent, allows for customization, and flash
driven...
Good afternoon,

Does anyone know of a good online video instruction on how to put together a photo slideshow in the new iMovie version. I found uTube videos using imported videos, but I want to use photos in iPhoto.

Does anyone know of a good online video instruction on how to put together a photo slideshow in the new iMovie 11 version. I found uTube videos using imported videos, but I want to use photos in iPhoto. I'm very familiar with how to do this in the pervious version, but it's no so intuitive in the new version.

Has anyone tried this one.. I am not sure if I am allowed to post information about other products... so if I am not please delete this part of my message.

Stop and start a photos slideshow

Hi .. So I want to use the photos slide show to execute a presentation .. But this means I need to start the slideshow and then stop, present the slide (a photo of the slide in fact), and then continue to the next photo .. I.e. I want manual control of the slideshow. Is this possible without having to stop and restart the whole slideshow?
Thanks.
Btw keynote cannot handle my large ppt files, and photos/slideshow is the only other app I can find that outputs to the via and my tv/projector, hence I converted the talk to a jpeg and loaded it as a sequence of photos! It would be quite a lot easier if good reader could output to the VGA, or keynote display PDF files.

Hi,
If you do the slideshow from the opening screen (Picture Frame), the iPad allows for no control other than stopping the show completely. If you run the slideshow from within the Photo app, if you stop a slide (you have to touch it and move it a bit to get it to stop), then the whole slideshow stops and you have to restart it again in the usual way. So Craig is right. Just put your presentation in an album, open the album and manually swipe to the next photo when you're ready. The only practical way to get the photos onto the iPad is to sync them to the Photo Library album (you can't sync to the Saved Photo album and you can only get pictures in there either from Safari or from email- unless I'm missing something), which means you'll be losing the ones that are already there. But that shouldn't be a problem if you just store them on your main computer and synch them back after the presentation's done.

Flash xml slideshow in iWeb not working

Hallo
I am really struggling to get a Flash xml slideshow to work. I have used Flash Slideshow Maker app, which creates a slide.xml, .swf and .html file and everything is published in one folder "slideshow" on a local disk.
I am using the following code and it works perfectly when viewed in iWeb:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0, 40,0"

But as soon as I publish it to FTP with following code, it displays the slideshow but NOT the photos or thumbs:

I have also tried iFrame code, but this is not working at all.
Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong when publishing the above code to FTP?
Any help will be appreciated.

Photo slideshow for webpage

Please help -
When visitors open my homepage (I'm using Dreamweaver 8) I
want them to see an image that changes (like a slideshow). Is Flash
the best thing to use? I have tried using the photo slideshow
template from Flash, but find that it is still necessary for my
users to click the arrows in the "controller" in order to begin
viewing the images. Is there a way to have the slideshow begin
immediately and then continue looping?
Thank you much for your expertise - it is much
appreciated!

I use resolution 72 which is really ugly if printed... I think watermark is distracting to the viewer
Also, the Kodak "golden standard" 778x517 is often used for this purpose. While it's pretty close to 800x600, supposedly it displays a bit faster, especially true for slower systems
As Rikk previously mentioned, the file export specification of "resolution" whatever the number (even 72) has no bearing on someone's ability to make a print from the file at whatever resolution they choose (within the limits of the pixel dimensions you make available); it's the pixel dimensions that will limit printed size/quality. Perhaps you meant that you use a jpeg "quality" setting of 72, which is indeed fairly low. That might even be set even lower to enable reasonably good web display yet discourage printing.
As to use of watermarks, yes, I agree they can be distracting, but not necessarily. A watermark can be chosen that is a compromise--minimally distracting yet prominent enough to discourage some (maybe not many?) from making a print.
As to the supposed (Kodak) "golden standard 778x517" : I wonder if you are thinking of 768 x 512? In any case, it's certainly not in any way a unique dimension that offers a special advantage in display speed. Sure it should load "a bit" faster than 800x600 since it contains a smaller number of pixels.

Flash photo display

Has anyone found a good way to display flash photos (flip or fold) on IWeb? I've tried using the My Albums page with a single gallery and it works, but I Web doesn't seem to like there being multiple My Albums pages on one site. Thanks.
Tervrun

There are a number of flash presentations that you can use. Here are some examples of those created by the iPhoto plugin Flash Album Exporter: SimpleViewer and Flash Album Exporter and Flash Album Exporter Postcard and AutoViewer Slideshow Themes.
There's a 3rd party application, Jalbum, which has over 100 themes/skins. This demo page has a couple of the skins: Jalbum.
Lastly, a new flash album for videos has been released: Video LightBox - Add video to your website.

IPhone 4 HDMI output for photo slideshow. Aspect ratio squished?

Bought the Apple Digital AV Adapter and tested it today. Hooked it up via an HDMI cable to a little HD TV. Videos (YouTube or in Photo Gallery) display as they should, in widescreen just as they do on the screen. However, when I start the photo slideshow the photos are squished to the center. A full landscape photo that takes up the whole iPhone screen is squished into a square in the center of the screen. Vertical pictures are also squished to the center, distorting the ratio. When the slideshow comes to a video in my library, it displays correctly.
I talked to Apple by chat and phone and they hadn't heard of this. Can't find anything on the web. I am running the newest iOS 5. There aren't any settings to adjust the video output in settings. If the videos were squished also it would make sense...but they aren't so it doesn't.
Anyone have any ideas?

thanks for the tip, i am extremely frustrated with imovie right now. i have a slideshow of a wedding i went to that i desperately want to share but i cant export to a good enough quality. does that export setting put the video in a format you can use on youtube or vimeo?
thanks!

Problems with flash photos on iPhone 4s

I have a black iPhone and my friend has a white iPhone, both 4s. I have no problem taking flash photos with mine, but on hers, when the light from the flash LED comes on and then fires at the moment of taking the picture, it is like the light is almost "bleeding" into the white back cover. When you look at it when this happens, the light source is no longer just the small LED, but is now an area of the back cover the size of your fingernail. This seems to be having the affect of causing all the flash photos to look like you have taken the photo in fog. There is a white "cloud" across the entire photo, making it totally unusable as a photo, you cannot see ANYTHING at all. I have made sure there is nothing in front of the lens or flash (fingerprints or scratches) and the camera takes perfectlly fine non-flash photos. My black iPhone 4s does NOT do this. Also tried with and without a case on the iPhone, to make sure it wasn't light catching the edge of the hole on the case and reflecting back to the lens. Does the same thing when the case is completely removed from the iPhone. Any suggestions ?

I have a Black 4S and it has the exact same problem - using flash means pictures in fog - totally unusable. Like you, I removed the case, checked the lens, everything. I have no idea why this happens but it makes flash photograph totally useless. I think I will see if Apple would care to make good a guarantee on it's apparently defective phone camera.

Problems with flash photos

I have a problem with my iphone 5s flash. Everytime I shoot a photo without flash, it works properly. However, when I use flash photos appear with a white mist( no case on). What's the problem?

Creating photo slideshow in iMovie 09

Hi guys,
I have been given the advice to create a photo slideshow in iMovie.
So far I have manage to sort out my photos and import them using iPhone and the Finder but am now up to the stage of putting the photos in the slide show.
There are quite a number of photos and I think by using the Ken Burns effect on every slide is a little overwhelming.
Is there any way I can use any of the other effects like just a simple fade-in?

AppleMan1958 gives you some good information. I have reviewed an earlier version of the slideshow feature of iPhoto on my website and have a short sample slideshow created using iPhoto.
Here is the link to my free photo slideshow software review of iPhoto.
http://www.great-family-photo-slideshows.com/free-photo-slideshow-software.html
I also provide information on creating a slideshow, choosing the music, etc.
Good luck.

Good flash photo slideshow app, FYI
