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

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?

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 determining next Saturday of the week in GMT

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 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
autoplay and loop and when I view it it screams through the
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?
TIA

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?

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.

I need your help with a decision to use iPhoto. I have been a PC user since the mid 1980’s and more recently have used ACDSee to manage my photo images and Photoshop to edit them. I have used ProShow Gold to create slideshows. I am comfortable with my own folder and file naming conventions. I currently have over 23,000 images of which around 60% are scans going back 75 years. Since I keep a copy of the originals, the storage requirements for over 46,000 images is huge. 180GB plus.
I now have a Macbook Pro and will add an iMac when the new models arrive. For my photos, I want to stay with Photoshop which also gives me the Bridge. The only obvious reason to use iPhoto is to take advantage of Faces and the link to iMovie to make slideshows. What am I missing and is using iPhoto worth the effort?
If I choose to use iPhoto, I am not certain whether I need to load the originals and the edited versions. I suspect that just the latter is sufficient. If I set PhotoShop as my external editor, I presume that iPhoto will keep track of all changes moving forward. However, over 23,000 images in iPhoto makes me twitchy and they are appear hidden within iPhoto. In the past, I have experienced syncing problems with, and database errors in, large databases. If I break up the images into a number of projects, I loose the value of Faces reaching back over time.
Some guidance and insight would be appreciated. I have a number of Faces questions which I will save for later.

Bridge and Photoshop is a common file-based management system. (Not sure why you'd have used ACDSEE as well as Bridge.) In any event, it's on the way out. You won't be using it in 5 years time.
Up to this the lack of processing power on your computer left no choice but to organise this way. But file based organisation is as sensible as organising a Shoe Warehouse based on the colour of the boxes. It's also ultimately data-destructive.
Modern systems are Database driven. Files are managed, Images imported, virtual versions, lossless processing and unlimited editing are the way forward.
For a Photographer Photoshop is overkill. It's an enormously powerful app, a staple of the Graphic Designers' trade. A Photographer uses maybe 15% to 20% of its capability.
Apps like iPhoto, Lightroom, Aperture are the way forward - for photographers. There's the 20% of Photoshop that shooters actually use, coupled with management and lossless processing. Pop over to the Aperture or Lightroom forums (on the Adobe site) and one comment shows up over and over again... "Since I started using Aperture/ Lightroom I hardly ever use Photoshop any more..." and if there is a job that these apps can do, then the (much) cheaper Elements will do it.
The change is not easy though, especially if you have a long-standing and well thought out filing system of your own. The first thing I would strongly advise is that you experiment before making any decisions. So I would create a Library, import 300 or 400 shots and play. You might as well do this in iPhoto to begin with - though if you’re a serious hobbyist or a Pro then you'll find yourself looking further afield pretty soon. iPhoto is good for the family snapper, taking shots at birthdays and sharing them with friends and family.
Next: If you're going to successfully use these apps you need to make a leap: Your files are not your Photos.
The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
When you process an image in iPhoto the file is never touched, instead your decisions are recorded in the database. When you view the image then the Master is presented with these decisions applied to it. That's why it's lossless. You can also have multiple versions and waste no disk space because they are all just listings in the database.
These apps replace the Finder (File Browser) for managing your Photos. They become the Go-To app for anything to do with your photos. They replace Bridge too as they become a front-end for Photoshop.
So, want to use a photo for something - Export it. Choose the format, size and quality you want and there it is. If you're emailing, uploading to websites then these apps have a "good enough for most things" version called the Preview - this will be missing some metadata.
So it's a big change from a file-based to Photo-based management, from editing files to processing Photos and it's worth thinking it through before you decide.

Help with iPhoto '08 - Slideshow & Ken Burns

I need help with creating a slideshow using Ken Burns effects. The basic problem is that some photos are getting cut off. I know I can modify each photo for start/end place, but each time I run the show, the effects are different (one run, slide 1 goes left to right, next run it zooms out, etc.), so I can't tell which photos need to be individually modified. The show is 100+ photos, so I'd rather not modify each one. I was at the Genius Bar yesterday and the guy told me the effect would be consistent once I made the slideshow, so that I could tell which ones to fix manually, but that's not the case. Please help!!
Running: MacBook OS X 10.6.8, iPhoto 7.1.5
Thanks!

You can adjust the start and end boxes. You can move them, and you can adjust the size by dragging the corners. However, the box will always be in the same shape as your aspect ratio, (e.g. 16:9 or 4:3)
To do this, click on the Gear icon in your photo to open the Inspector. Go to the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tab of the Inspector.

Help with sequence settings in final cut for project with 2 different frame rates.

I really need help with this one! I finished editing a wedding video and realized after exporting that it was filmed in two different frame rates. This has happened before but I converted the footage to match and fixed the problem. In this case, the footage is part 30fps and part 60fps. The majority of it was filmed in 30fps. I cannot convert the 60 to 30 without the slow motion effect which I do not need so I have to find a way to burn this to a DVD without it looking messed up! The video was shot with two Canon 7ds if that helps anything. The first sequence I set at 29.97 and exported as a quicktime movie and all the footage filmed in 60 looked perfect and the footage in 30 looked jittery. Then I tried the sequence at 59.97 and it switched. The footage filmed at 30 looked good and the 60 was cropped in. I am so confused! Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks for your help Michael! The frame rates are 29.97 1920 x 1080 and 59.94 1280 x 720. I did a control click on the clips in final cut and viewed the item properties/format to find this info. The Canon 7d is a DSLR but we use it for video. As for my workflow, the first thing I do is import the footage onto my computer and then drag the clips into mpeg streamclip. I choose apple prores 422 and uncheck the interlaced box. Once this is done I import the .mov files into final cut. The sequence automatically sets itself to whatever clip I drag in first so it originally set as 29.97. When I finished editing wedding video, I export it to a quicktime movie and choose whatever settings match the sequence, in this case apple prores 422 1920 x 1080 30p. Once that is done I use iDVD to burn the discs.
I knew something was wrong when I watched the quicktime movie and all the 30fps footage was jittery and most of the cross dissolves looked strange. That's when I figured out the footage was at two different frame rates. What I don't understand is why whatever the sequence is set at in final cut, the clips of the opposite frame rate look right but the clips set at the matching frame rate don't???
