Help with slideshow thumbnail?

I would like to use only an enlarged section of my slideshow hero image as my thumbnail. This Muse Site of the Day does it like that:

Anyone have any idea how they pulled this off?

Hi Brad,
Thanks for your suggestion. Sorry I didn't reply sooner. I actually went on a vacation and didn't do any work!? I found some posts about what I was trying to do on 2 earlier forums - you were one of the people who commented. Was able to accomplish what I wanted.

Please help with slideshow problems!

Am using Photoshop Elements 8 and trying to make a slideshow. Have tried 4 times now and keep ending up with same problem, cannot reopen project to continue edititing. Won't show up in orginizer and when I find on harddrive and try to open get message " wmv file cannot be opened". How can I save a
slideshow inprogress and be able to reopen and continue to edit and make slideshow? I want to thank anyone who can help me with this in advance as I
have gotten so frustrated that I want to just scream.
Thanks

Thanks for the help, thought I had done so but maybe not. Anyway will have another go at it, now may I ask another
question? I am trying to add audio to slideshow. I have some music I purchased thru amazon as mp3 files but I get
message no codec and when I try to add wmv I get same message. What type of file do I need and how can I add
multiple songs to one slideshow. I have one little wmv file that will go in, but it just replicates itself multiple times until
it fills slide show.
Thanks again, sorry to be a bother, but this thing is driving this old man crazy.

You need to save the slideshow project in order to be able to go back later and make changes or additions to an existing slideshow . The wmv file is a final output format.
Now you are most probably using only the Output command: that is what makes the wmv file.
You should also do the Save Project command. (and I make it a practice to do the Save Project command before I do the Output command).
If you look at the Elements Organizer 8 Help, there is a topic on "Create a slide show".
-- Very close to the beginning of that topic is a screen shot of the Sldie Show Editor screen,
-- The bar below the usual menu bar is labeled with a "B" and called the Shortcuts bar.
-- The 1st entry on that Shortcuts bar is "Save Project"
It is the Save Project command that saves the information about which photos, audio, etc you placed in that specific slide show so that you can come back again to do subsequent editing. Save each Project with a unique name.
After completing the Save Project command, you shoud see an "icon" in the Organizer for that slide show.
Note: you must also keep the photo files and audio files which you have used in this slide show: you can't delete them because the project file does NOT contain a copy of the photos, it only has the identification and folder location of the photo and audio files.

Need help with slideshow widget appearing online

Hey out there a big thanks in advance for this.
I have slideshow widgets set up for my artwork and graphics pages on my website and they were working fine before the last Muse update. I then went into Muse to add more images to said slideshows and export and upload them just like normal. Everything went fine and then I finished uploading and viewed my site and the widgets did not appear...I also experienced some margin formatting difficulties but that is probably unrelated. I have not changed any permissions and have not changed anything besides adding in a few images only to one of the two slideshow widgets. I have completely deleted and re-exported and re-uploaded everything as in all of the files twice and still nothing. I really need some help with this one as soon as possible. Again a huge thank you. To see my site please go to www.joeldsiegel.com I have been using stablehost and the ftp client is CPanel if that is of any other help. Thanks again!!

Sorry, should've been more clear on that. Yes, the images
have been converted to movie clips, adn the linkage ID's are
img1-img8. The reasoning behind that is that, at some point, new
pictures will take the place of the current pictures.
The attempt at randomness is actually a leftover from a
previous incarnation of this project. Ideally I'd like the pictures
to always play through in the same order, but I'd like it to start
at a random place in that order so it's not always the same image
coming up when the page first comes up. So, basically, I left it in
for lack of a better idea.
As for the setInterval() and runTimer() and "Void" question,
that part is complete patchwork on my part. I'm not surprised that
I missed something or included something extra. There isn't any
code beyond what's attached in my previous post.
I think, at the time, I was hoping that the "if(timePassed
> nTimeout){" part was on the right track, but are you saying
that the void cancels that part out?

Help with creating thumbnail images

Hi there
I need some help with a webpage that displays images.
I am capturing an internal xml file ..and want to display:
An Image or images with a width of 130 px and height of 130
px
My problem is that when our users upload the pictures to the
website ..they are not resized ..and they would not know how to use
a program to do this.
Is there a code or way to take the uploaded picture file and
reduce it to a size of 130 x 130 in the existing page?
It currently is displaying the full size image(s) which are
take up 2 screens.
thanks for your time ..Rob

In the HTML you can just give it a width and height of those
values.
However, the full image is still loaded by the browser, so if
the image is
large, it's still going to be a bandwidth hog.
Ideally, you'd resize on the server at time of upload. This
can be done with
various components depending on the particular back-end
server/scripting
language.

Need Help with slideshow movie !!!

I am trying to turn a slideshow into a quicktime movie with iMovie. I have imported the images. How can I get them to sort according to file name (so they will be in the right order) without having to individually move every slide? There's 293 of them. And is there a way to select all images and apply the "fit" action to all at once so they don't do the Ken Burns effect but just remain stationary?

Do you have the images loaded into iPhoto? Are they in an events?
I just dragged with one events (with 19 photos) into iMovie to create a photo slideshow. iMovie seems to follow the sorting sequence you set within iPhoto. So as long as you specify the sorting in iPhoto to be [By Title], then it should work. In iPhoto, you can highlight the event and click Show Photos. Then click View > Sort Photos > By Title.
And to apply "Fit" to all pictures, you just have to select all pictures (Cmd-A), then make the change to anyone of the pictures. Because you selected all pictures, they will all set to "Fit".
Hope this helps.

Help with slideshow & labeling from iPhoto and Apperture on iMac

I have an extremely long slideshow of photos on iphoto which is causing me not to be able to download it to a DVD. I was told that if I put it in Apperture, I would be able to make the DVD from there. Can someone please help me with this project? I also need to know how to insert names over the photos, or at the bottom of each one. I did this for a family reunion and promised everyone a DVD and now it's 6 months later and I still don't have them ready. Thanks in advance for your time and assistance. D

Export the slideshow from iPhoto, that makes a movie of it.
Do you want to use this DVD in a domestic DVD player? If so, then the disk will have to be 'authored' to make it the correct form for that. If you have iDVD then that's the app you use. However, iDVD is no longer developed or distributed by Apple. You may be able to get it on an old iLIfe install disk.
Other options:
Burn: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/21992/burn
Toast: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/6351/toast-titanium
But there are lots of others too. Search on the App Store or MacUpdate\
You don't need Aperture for this.

Help with photo thumbnail showing..

I want to have a page of thumbnails(say 5 columns with 5 in each column), and the thumbnail I click on to be displayed on the right of the thumbnails.
How would one do this?
Is there a way to edit w/html the photo slideshow settings? I basically would use that, but I don't want the thumbnails to go straight across the screen with the image under it(the default photo/slideshow way). I want them the thumbnails to be on the left hand side, and the clicked on thumbnail to be on the right.

This is a flash image viewer and can be customized.
You'll find instructions for PostcardViewer, which is more or less the same method, here...

Help with slideshow, please and thank you

My brother created a slideshow and sent me the link. I was able to download the slideshow to my desktop. Is there a way to individually move the pictures from the slideshow to an album in iPhoto? When I try moving the whole slideshow or individual pictures, I get an error msg. saying that the format is not recognized. Among other things, I want to print the individual pictures.

that would depend on how he created the slide show and what he sent. Is it a Quick time movie? With QT Pro you can save frames but the quality may not be good enough to print
I would pick the photos you want to print and request that he send high resolution copies of them to you

Help with Slideshow?

I created a slideshow using Keynote complete with all transitions and delays, etc. I exported it to IDVD. Once it was complete I attampted to burn a DVD and got an error message. On checking the map of the DVD, it tells me I have empty drop zones. How do I correct this?

Hi Dustoff:
Welcome!
Authoring in iDVD 6
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/idvd_6stone.html
You have to place a photo or video in the drop zones of iDVD. if you do not want drop zones, simply drag a photo or video into he drop zone screen and it will cover them up. that way you don't need to place anything in them.

Help with slideshow music please

Chosen music from iTunes library won't play with my slideshow since updating to Maverick. Steps are the same for choosing music, but it doesn't play. It will play the "theme" music however.

From user keysandfood:
Quit iPhoto
Open iTunes
In iTunes go: File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Restart iPhoto; verify your choice of music from your iTunes Library for the slideshow

Need Help with Slideshow

Hi, my daugher is having her Sweet 16 in 2 weeks. I have built 17 Slideshows for the Candlelighting. Before each cande is lit, I have a track that animates "Candle 1", "Candle 2" etc...They are m2v files built in motion 3 exported to compressor. What I need is to have the candle liting animation sit waiting for a command to go to the slideshow on each candle. I programmed the tracks to go toeach of it's slidesshows when the remote control holder hit "menu". I programmed "Menu" to go to "slideshow 1", "slideshow 2" etc.
It worked great in simulator, but in a real DVD player it didn't work. In a real DVD player the machine stopped.
My next attempt, I will put a chapter mark on the end of each cande track, the end jump for that would be "chapter 1". Then it will just loop until the remote hits "menu".
Is that the way to go or should I try a freeze frame at the top of every slideshow and then program a pause...
Let me know, time is getting critical, the DJ guy needs the DVD soon.

Congrats on the party
If this is an animation I am assuming it is looping? It could be easiest/quickest to use them as background videos in menus (17 Menus) with a hidden button (no highlights or if you want something like candle 1, 2 etc.) then when Enter Key is pressed it goes to the proper slideshow and then the slideshow end jump is to the next Menu?

Help with slideshow please...

I created a layer on my webpage and inserted an image. Then I
went through all the motions to add more images by modify ..
timeline..add keyframe and changing the source image. In all I have
8 pictures all added this way to different frames.... I set it to

pictures so fast you can hardly see them and it does not seem to
hit every one but only picks up 3 or 4 images. I have dragged the
timeline along more frames but this does not seem to slow things
down nor does it show the other pictures... Can anyone help me in
this. What am I doing wrong here?

HELP WITH SLIDESHOW!! WEDDING SATURDAY!!

I'm making a slideshow for a wedding this Saturday.
As I was previewing the slideshow, I noticed that the
pictures weren't being shown in their entirety. Is there
an option that I can select that will allow the photos
to be shown as a whole?
I've tried changing the play time for each slide, thinkin
it might get enough time to zoom out to view the entire
picture. But when I went to change it, I couldnt't.
Thank you so much in advance for your time!!

It sounds like you have the auto Ken Burns effect turned n - turn it off to stop the auto zooming
