HD slideshow part 2

Since My previous question was answered, I'm not sure if I should continue that thread or start a new one. To recap, I'm using Fotomagico and made a test before I begin the real slideshow. My images are 1920 x 1080. To get true HD I will have to go through my MAC. However for the test I exported to and burned a DVD through iDVD. It actually looks pretty good. I am going to do the whole show with the above parameters so I would have the option of either running it through my mac or paying to have it converted to Blue Ray. However, since it looks pretty good in iDVD, I'm going to give my customer that option.
Finally my question:
When exporting to IDVD in Fotomagico, I get a warning about a bug in idvd that will reduce the quality. They recommend that I burn the DVD with Toast. I guess I'm willing to keep spending if Toast is going to maximize the quality when delivering it as a DVD. Is the quality using Toast that much better?

I checked the format and it is UDF. I tried again. Exported the FotoMagico test slideshow as DVD, under options (Toast, iDVD, none) I selected "none" which produced a dv file of 304mg. Opened "Burn" and dropped it into the window. Burn said it needed to convert and converted it to an mpg (32mg). Burned DVD and tested it. It worked but the images were no longer 16:9 and the quality wasn't close to what I got using "share" to iDVD. It might be a mute point because I don't think there is a way to loop the presentation using "burn".
So I'm back to the original question (but we're getting close)- Will Toast give me a better quality DVD than using iDVD and can I loop the presentation using Toast?
Your suggestion about merging the 2dv files in Imovie sounds good, but will I lose something, importing that back to iDVD?
Thanks for your help and patience.

Arrows not showing up in slideshow, cant control slideshow

So I have a slideshow that is on one of my pages and the arrows on the two sides will not appear. Before the pictures all load I can see the arrows behind the pictures but once they the arrows end up behind the pictures. The pictures rotate normaly through the slideshow but I want people to be able to control if they want to go back and forth. Here is my code for the slideshow.
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-2.0.3.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.cycle.all.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
          $('#slider').cycle({
    fx:     'scrollHorz',
    speed: 'slow',
          timeout: 3000,
    next:   '#next',
    prev:   '#prev'

Playing Slideshow with numerous photo pages

I have 5 different photo pages on my iweb site. I split them up so the load time would be quicker. Is there any way to play the slideshow and include all the photos on every one of the 5 pages? Right now, you have to play the slideshow on each seperate page.

I don't know of a way to do this with the Apple enhanced slideshow. The best thing I can think of is to have direct links to your slideshows on one page. This would make things a little simpler for viewers in that they wouldn't have to open up each photo page just to get to the slideshow...
You can link directly to your slideshows using the following URL format...
http://web.mac.com/username/iWeb/sitename/photopagename_files/slideshow.html
Replace:
username = your .Mac account username
sitename = your sitename as set in iWeb
photopagename = the name you gave to each photo page
You can put links for the slideshows on a page like "Slideshow Part One", "Slideshow Part Two", etc... Maybe you don't even need people to see the actual photo pages at all...just link them to the slideshows!

Elements 8 Slideshow Help Needed

Hello, I have Elements 8 and while creating a slideshow my pictures dissapear or something else happens because when I preview it, all I get is a black screen.
I've tried smaller pictures, adding sound, saving then previewing, even when I export or share the saved result is nothing but a black screen, no pictures. I hear the music I added, but no pictures. Even if I add a blank slide and add text, nothing. I'm stumped and frustrated. I followed the online video tutorial exactly and still no luck. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. I've had the software for about a year and a half and never used the slideshow part until now.
Hoping somebody may have come across this issue before,
Computer info if it will help.
vista 64 bit sp2, but running adobe in 32 bit
Nvidia gtx580 graphics card
12 gig ram
Intel i7 920
Thanks!

First suggestion --
I have experienced this type of issue with the black screen in preview and it was caused by lack of authorization. I was running under Vista and I circumvented the problem by starting PSE using Run as Administrator
-- in other words instead of left clicking on the PSE icon on the desktop,
-- I right clicked on the PSE desktop icon and chose " Run as administrator" from the right click menu
The above process was necessary despite the fact that my Windows userid did have administrator authority.
There is a theory among several people that this can be caused by uninstalling an earlier version of PSE after you installed PSE 8. However, I doubt that is absolutely the only reason.
Second suggestion--
If my first suggestion does not solve your problem, then I think the second most probable cause is some problem or inconsistency with the driver for your video card. Your Nvidia gtx580 is a powerful video card -- so perhaps there is some inconsistency with another component on your system. How recently have you updated the driver for your video card ?
-- Have you ever been able to do a PSE slide show preview ?
-- Have ever been able to play back an WMV file output from the slide show?
FYI -
If this is one of your first alide shows with PSE, I suggest that you also post how you plan to display your finished slide show -- for example - will you burn it to a DVD disc ? Do you also have Premiere Elements ?

My iWeb Wish List for '07

Just sent the following to Apple's iWeb Feedback; figured I'd post it here as well just for the heck of it.
Some of these requests may apply only to my particular -- some would say peculiar -- workflow, but I suspect there are at least a couple which other user's might share.
(using iWeb 1.1.2 under OX X 10.4.8)
One User's iWeb Wish List:
1) Option to have Comments included in Captions for online albums.
When Importing pics from iPhoto, there should be four checkboxes:
one for Image Name (i.e. Title),
one for Date,
one for Time,
and especially one for Comments!
-- allowing the user to determine which of those four bits of iPhoto info are included in the Captions for any kind of online album. It's crazy that right now I can't put up an iWeb photo page that automatically includes the Comments I've taken the time to enter in iPhoto as part of that photo's Caption online.
If iWeb wants to claim true integration with iPhoto, then this feature seems like a pre-version 1 no-brainer.
2) "Open in New Window?" option for Hyperlinks.
When designating some text or a picture as a link, PLEASE give us the option to make that link one that will open in the browser's current page (the default), OR one that will open in a NEW PAGE.
That's a basic design choice which the creator of any web page should be allowed to make.
(At least with Homepage I was able to fool it by adding
" target="_blank
to the URL I was entering, making Hompage think the addition was actually part of the URL, but causing any browser to see it as the HTML command to open the preceding link in a new window. Unfortunately I can't seem to get this trick to work in iWeb -- would love it if someone could tell me why.)
3) User-configuarable slideshows.
When I first started using iWeb, and saw how configurable the pages themselves were, I naturally searched for the Slideshow options. Just basic stuff, like the seconds per-slide duration; the kinds of transitions; the default to change slides manually or automatically; whether to have the controls and the top row of thumbs always visible or show only when you mouse over them; whether to use the reflection effect; what color background to use; the image display size -- that kind of thing. (The kind of control offered in the shareware program ShutterBug, for example.)
You already know what I found: zilch. It almost feels like two different teams developed the two parts of the program (the wonderfully-customizable Page Creator vs. the take-it-or-leave-it Slideshow) -- or maybe they just ran out of time before the iLife '06 release, and had to throw in the Slideshow part before it was ready.
4) Previewable Slideshows
And then I find that not only can I not customize the Slideshow in any way, I can't even preview it within the app itself -- I have to publish the page first, then "preview" it in a browser. This whole section of the iWeb app is definitely not ready for prime time.
5) More web viewing options.
The viewer of my iWeb photo page should be able to click on a thumbnail and have it open as either an image in its own window, OR (as is the case in HomePage) as the first frame in a slideshow.
And even when it opens as an image in a separate window, there should still be the basic <-PREV and NEXT-> buttons to allow the viewer to keep looking at the full-sized images without having to close each window and then double-click on the next thumbnail.
6) Automatic page length extension.
Would be a nice user pref to have the page height automatically adjust as new content is added, or as pix are dragged down past the current bottom of page.
7) Space-saving Import options.
In order to conserve space on our .Mac accounts, and make for better downloading times of the photo page itself, iWeb needs to offer several Import options once the desired pics from an iPhoto Library (or just from a Finder folder) have been selected:
Let users pick whether the photos will be uploaded full-size, or automatically reduced to a user-definable maximum height and/or width.
And make sure to also have (perhaps under an Advanced tab) a sliding scale of jpg quality, with an instant feedback showing what the total file size will be at that particular setting.
These size and quality parameters should be applicable either to individual files, or to the entire Import as a whole.
8) Tell us the URLs.
Simply mousing over a page or site name in the Site Organizer pane (or right-clicking on same), should reveal its full URL as currently published, and allow you to easily copy that URL to the Clipboard (and in turn Paste that URL into a document or an e-mail).
I know the iWeb URLs all follow the same naming pattern, but why not make it easier for us to access and Copy/Paste those URLs, instead of having to "figure them out"?
9) Make the Text Boxes easier to see and to move.
Right now a newly-inserted Text Box is virtually invisible, and until you actually type some text into it it's bloody hard to grab a hold of.
I'm hoping most of these features have already been incorporated into the next release of iWeb -- and if not, that you'll give serious consideration to implementing all of them as soon as possible. Your users will thank you!

This is a user forum, so we can't help with this! You
can provide iWeb feedback in the File menu of the app.
Indeed -- hence the very first line of my post:
"Just sent the following to Apple's iWeb Feedback; figured I'd post it here as well just for the heck of it..."
Also why I didn't post it as a Question seeking help. Nevertheless, thanks for pointing me both to your site and the RowanCottage one. I'll check out all the iWeb tips on both.
Meanwhile...
2) "Open in New Window?" option for Hyperlinks.
Here's how to do it:
http://web.mac.com/varkgirl/iWeb/Varkgirl/Open%20links
%20in%20new%20window.html
Let's hope that any of these workarounds will soon be a thing of the past. I have to believe that the iWeb team has realized by now that giving the user (i.e. the iWeb page creator) the option to designate how each and every link should open (same page or new page) is such a basic, obvious feature that it MUST already be implemented in the next iWeb, and is only awaiting the release of iLife '07 -- or whatever the next iLife suite will be called.
6) Automatic page length extension.
Would be a nice user pref to have the page height
automatically adjust as new content is added, or as
pix are dragged down past the current bottom of
page.
Um, it does this already.
Then I must be doing something very wrong. I just tried again -- grabbed a graphic, dragged it down to the bottom of the page so that half of it was now out of site, let go and voila -- nothing. "Content Height" in the Page Inspector didn't change one pixel.
Even the "Creative" at the downtown Toronto Apple Store -- who I happened to see giving an iWeb demo/workshop the other day -- said the only way to extend the page length was to add a larger value to the Content Height box in the Inspector.
But I'd still love to know if there's a more intuitive, hands-on kind of way.
9) Make the Text Boxes easier to see and to move.
Turn on "Show Layout" in the View menu
I already did. My point was that even with "Show Layout" on, the faint grey text box that first appears is often hard to see, especially against certain backgrounds. Interestingly, that same Apple Store staffer made the exact same observation (with no prompting from me), and also commented on how the initial blank text box was also tricky to grab and reposition -- he said he always just types some random garbage text first, THEN moves the now much more easily grabbable text box to where he wants it on the page.
Anyway, I felt at least a little vindicated to hear an Apple frontline employee share a couple of the same little annoyances that had been bugging me just a few days earlier!
Cheers,
John Bertram

Slowing portions of a movie, not all

Greetings,
I have a "movie" I'm working on. Mostly it's a series of slides that fade into each other along with a series of 2 minute videos (commercials) dropped in. It's for a continuous monitor that will be in a showroom.
I'd like to slow down the slideshow part of the iMovie so there's more time to read and keep the commercials as is. What's the best way to do this? If no easy way, I'll just double up on each slide with no fade between which will double that part's time.
Thanks for your help.
Mark

You can select multiple stills then set them all to a different duration by selecting Adjust, information (little "i" in a white circle), entering the time in seconds against 'Duration:' then pressing return.
If you want to change the duration of all future stills added to the project, click on the project icon, select 'Settings' and enter the duration against 'Clips:' and press return.

Slide Size

What size should I build my slides?
I am going to be giving a presentation and do not know the specs of the projector that will be provided.
How critical is it to build at the size of the projector?

If YOU will be running the slideshow (as opposed to just giving it to someone else on a flash drive etc.) then you could probably (after having plugged in the projector/large TV) set your Keynote preferences to 'scale slides up to fit display' under the 'Slideshow' part of the prefs.
It would still be very useful to know if it's 16x9 or an olde worlde 4x3 display you'll be using. If you still can't get this info, you'd probably be best to keep to a 4x3 aspect ratio because most 16x9 displays can handle 4x3 inputs far better than a 4x3 display can handle a 16x9 input. You might just end up with black bars top and bottom on a 16x9 display.
Hope this helps.

Is there a way to integrate existing 2.2 servlets in JDeveloper

I have created an http servlet and imported that into JDeveloper. The Servlet is to the 2.2 Servlet spec. JDev supports the
2.1 Servlet spec.
I have no choice but to use Tomcat to run the servlet from Jdeveloper. Can you please send me a guide which shows step-by-step how to setup the Tomcat and run the servlet from there in JDev environment.
Can you please advise me the way to have Jdeveloper substitute using Tomcat to run the servlet instead of the built-in
web-to-go servlet engine.
Metalink advised me TechNet would be the way to resolve this problem since TechNet is supported by Developers.
It's quite crucial for me to run these servlets in JDev environment. Otherwise, I have no choice, but, changing my IDE to Visual Cafe or something similar.

The upcoming release of JDeveloper 3.2 (out sometime in November) will support 2.2 servlets.
Until then, you can setup Tomcat (or Apache JServ, WebLogic, etc) for remote debugging with JDeveloper.
There was a JavaOne technical session on this topic, which showed how to set up Apache JServ and WebLogic. You can apply the directions to Tomcat too.
The slideshow part of the presentation is at the following URL:
http://jsp.java.sun.com/javaone/javaone2000/pdfs/TS-1569.pdf
Or, if you want to see a video replay, go to the following URL and look for TS-1569.

Advanced filtering/grouping question (pivot-table?)

Ahoy. I have come across a few flies in the final varnish of an image database I'm working on. I don't yet know the best way to ask the question. I think what I am looking for is some kind of pivot-table like grouping capability. I think I could do this with nest-able Smart Albums -- but you can't nest Smart Albums in Aperture. (Journler, for those who used it, had, imho, a brilliant implementation of nest-able filters.)
Let me give what should be able to serve as a good generic example: a Library of dog images. These are organized into Projects based on shoots. The images are keyworded with the dogs' breeds, their type, their coat type and color, their individual names (when known), and other "normal" dog characteristics (gender, age when known, etc.). There are also some special keywords, such as a set for expressions (Relaxed, Angry, Teeth Bared, Questioning, Attentive), and, where needed, details of ailments (Sore, Rash, Teeth, Gums, Wound).
I have set up Smart Albums to show many of these, e.g.:
. Spaniels
. Huskies
. Retrievers
. Cocker Spaniels
. Labrado Retrievers
. Details of Angry expressions
etc.
The database problem I am trying to resolve is: how best to narrow selections of groups of Smart Albums? Using the example above, for instance, I have Smart Albums to show me all the detail images of expressions:
. Dog is Angry
. Dog is Attentive
. Dog is Asleep
. Dog is Tired
. Dog is Questioning
. Dog is Relaxed
How best to narrow those to, for instance, just Huskies? or just Working Dogs? or just the individual dog known as "Nanook's Shadow"?
Clearly, if each of those is a keyword (or a keyword container), I can simply add the keyword to the Filter. But I want much greater functionality than that.
By "best" I mean to include the ability to change the variable -- to chose not just "Huskies", but also "Retrievers", and not just "Working Dogs" but also "Hounds". And I want to change this at once -- not individually for each Smart Album.
What I've come with is clever and borders on elegant (imho - ), but remains a kludge.
Smart Albums can be subordinate to only Projects and Folders. Subordinating them to Projects does me some, but little, good. (Subordinating them to other Smart Albums, or to regular Albums, would do me more good, but is not allowed.) I therefore created a new parent Folder for each set of Smart Albums I wanted to be able to readily filter as a group, and copied a set of Smart Albums into it. I then set each Smart Album's "Source" to the containing Folder rather than to "Library". At this point, the Smart Albums show no images, which is good. Now, all I have to do is create an Album of images I want the Smart Albums to operate on, and drag that Album into the containing Folder. So I go to my "Hounds" Smart Album, select all images, create new Album with selected images, and drag that into my Folder "Dog Expressions". The Album filters the universe of my Library to just "Hounds" and the Smart Folders filter from that narrowed group.
This is relatively flexible: If I want to include "Retrievers" as well as "Hounds", I just make another Album and drag it into the "Dog Expressions" Folder. If I want to see only Retrievers, I drag the "Hounds" Album out of the "Dog Expressions" Folder. (So I made a holder Folder called "Sets for Smart Albums" and I keep Albums such as "Retrievers" and "Hounds" there.) I now have a relatively supple drag-and-drop method of filtering groups of Smart Albums all at once.
But you can already see the problems. First among them is that the Albums are static. I will need to create new Albums in order to include any new images or Versions or whenever I get around to keywording, etc.
Still with me? Can you help me do better?
Is there any reason one couldn't have a pivot table based on metadata? One which not only filters but also groups, so that I could have a view showing (for instance) details of Huskies expressions grouped by expression?
Thanks in advance. If this catches you on Friday, enjoy the weekend.

LOL. Thanks for the laugh -- the slideshows part is especially funny. Are you Aperture certified yet? The test has no surprises at all. It is very well done (exemplary for on-line testing, imho) and covers all parts that it says it will.

Subject : Slideshow looks bad
Hello guys
I have a project in my Final Cut just about done. I want to add my slideshow as part ofthe project and burn it to DVD. Inmy slideshow, there are some stills from the movie clips and some downloadedfrom the internet but they all look blur when playback and even worse if Iapply Ken Burn to it. Pleasesome one can tell my how to do it right or it can’t be done because thedownload quality and stills from the clip are not suitable or slideshow. Thank you
PSC

Thank you Ross.
The entire DVD containing Quick Time movies (Final CutExpress project) and slideshow was done in iPhoto. The Final Cut project was rendered prior to export to QT, the slideshow was sent to iDVD withoutrendering. The slideshow with most of the pictures from my still camera incombination with stills from movie clips and some downloaded from the Internet.After burning, the movie playback is perfect but the slideshow is not. The slideshow containing 3 differentkinds of pictures; those from my still camera looks OK; the stills from themovie clips and from the Internet are not. I don’t have much knowledge in this game, but I think NTSCwith frame size 720x480, and the downloaded picture Item Property shows most ofthem are between 400 to 500 x 300 to 600, may be both of them are not suitablefor TV screen while the stills from my still camera looks OK because they are2048x1536. Please enlightenme. Once again, thank you so much,I really appreciate the time you offered.

Can an Adobe Bridge web gallery slideshow file be inserted in Dreamweaver as part of the homepage?

Hello. I am designing the homepage of my first website in Adobe Dreamweaver CS6. And I would like for the page to include a slideshow that automatically plays as soon as a visitor opens the webpage. I am interested in using Adobe Bridge to create the slideshow using the feature "web gallery." The tutorials that I've seen describe how to create the web gallery slideshow, then show how it appears when uploaded to the web as an html file through FTP to a server. It appears as a separate page. And I notice that the web gallery file is an index file. I would appreciate knowing how to include the html file as part of the homepage. Will simply renaming the file from being "index.html" to something like "my_first_slideshow.html" make possible including it in the site structure? Or will doing so cause it and the files attached to it to be inaccessable when viewed in a browser? If it can be included in the site, is an <iframe> needed to be in the code for the slideshow to fit into? Thank you.

Maybe you best try this question in the dedicated Dreamweaver forum?:

I would like to create a soundtrack for my iPhoto Slideshow that consists of "parts" of say three songs" - how can I do this?

I am about to create a slideshow for my daughters wedding and I would like to be able to have three sections of photos (her, him, and both) in this show as well I would like to have one soundtrack that has parts of three songs - matching up with each section.
How do I create such a soundtrack, and then how do I match it up to the three sections of my photos?
Believing this can be done then how do I transfer it to a device that will play on a large screen at the wedding?
Thanks!

Do you have iDVD on your Mac? If so here's how you can do it.
Create 3 separate slideshows. Use iTunes to trim the tracks you want to use for each slideshow. Select the track and type Command+i to bring up the sound track's info window. Then set the start and stop times to what you need;
Do that for each of the three slideshows.
Next:
1 - export each slideshow to the Desktop with the Size = medium or large.
2 - launch iDVD, create a project and select a theme.
3 - create a slideshow in iDVD via the "+" button.
4 - drag the three QT movie files into the slideshow window in the order you want them to play.
5 - set the slide duration to anything but manual or fit to music.
6 - do not select any transition or music.
7 - follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality 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 and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was 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.
The video DVD disc can then be played with a set top DVD player on a TV set.

Eliminate White Space in Picture Library Slideshow Web Part

On my site, I am using picture library slideshow web parts on two different pages, and one of them is giving me trouble with unwanted white space between the photos and the back, pause, forward control buttons (see photo below).
In an attempt to resolve this issue, I have tried numerous things. I have resized the width and height of the web part itself to many different sizes, but to not avail. I have cropped and resized all of the photos to be the exact same size of 300x200
pixels. I have used CSS to display the photos to their actual size rather than the standard preview size. With all of this in mind, my second photo library web part on another page works perfectly. This was white space problem was only an issue until
I resized/cropped the photos in that case. For this page, however, that solution is not working.
Does anyone have any clue as to how I can remove this unwanted white space?
Thank you!

Hi Stacey,
From your description, you would like to remove white space in picture library slideshow web parts. You used CSS to solve it however a web part still show white spaces.
Please press F12 and see if there is div tag in white space, if there is, try remove it.
