Hit a wall with adding photos to slideshow

I have approximately 110 photos added to my project and have hit a roadblock. I have about 30 more pictures to add and when I try to add another, it does something strange. It looks like the picture is there but when I play it, it is the picture before it and is "stretched out"? I have tried adding different pictures and even deleting the one before it and whatever picture I add, it does the same thing. I'm wondering if there is a limit to the amount of photos you can use in a slideshow? Or maybe the files are too large? Please help! This is my first try at a slideshow and I have to complete this project in two days!

If this is an existing slideshow colection you already created, select and drag the new image files from their source folder and drop them into the exisiting slideshow collection icon located in the Collections folder. The new images will be appear in the slideshow according to your 'Sort' order selection located above the filmstrip (i.e. Capture Time, User Order, etc.).
There used to be an issue with the 'Stroke Border' option in the Slideshow module causing soft (fuzzy) imaging at down-scaled resolutions (i.e. anything less than full-resolution). If you encounter this issue, try unchecking the Stroke Border option box. I just tried it with LR 3.4.1 on my Windows 7 system and a 1280x1024 PDF slideshow looks fine with the stroke border....maybe it's fixed in LR 3.4?

Adding photos to slideshow.

I'm trying to add photos to my slideshow. They currently reside in a folder under Folders and my slideshow is in the Collections category. No luck combining the two. I know I'm missing something totally obvious here.

Shared Project Workflow Problem: Hitting a Wall with Markers

Hi there,
Apologies in advance for the long note. We're using Adobe CC to edit and finish commercials and are having a significant issue regarding shared project workflow. First, some context:
We often edit projects remotely. When this happens, assistants and other editors who remain in LA will have access to the media on our SAN while the editor and assistant traveling out of town will have their own copy of the media. I know Adobe Anywhere would solve any issue relating to two identical sets of media in use in different cities, but we're a small shop and the hardware and software expense don't make sense for us at this time. Please do not respond to anything mentioned from here on by stating we should just get Adobe Anywhere. Thanks.
What will regularly happen is that the remote editor and assistant will need work done on the project here in LA while they're in session with the clients. Sometimes this work involves marking up clips with comment markers so the editor can more easily locate a specific moment. Here's where the problem arises.
Unlike FCP and Avid, Premiere handles markers within the clip's metadata. So, if I have two separate projects linking to separate but identical instances of media, one of those media instances gets updated with new markers, there is currently no way to get those markers to the other project without also shuttling the new marked-up media. This is not possible when a remote editor needs dailies marked up in a couple hours and is working across the country or abroad.
But let's assume for the sake of argument that it is possible and we apply this workflow. Let's also assume that in the time it takes the local assistant to mark up the clips for the remote editor, the editor has added a couple markers of his own, which is reasonable and happens all the time. Now when the editor links to the newly marked up clips he's received via shipment, he'll wipe out all the markers he's made on his own since giving the order to mark up the footage. That is a significant inconvenience, especially with clients in the room asking stuff like "can we look at the take where the guy says 'good' instead of 'great'?"
So what happens if we just have repeating sets of media, so that every time the clips markers get updated, the editor actually imports those clips, even though the picture and audio data in those clips is completely redundant to what's already in the project. The issues with this are, as I can see it, 1) increasing the amount complexity within the project so that you'd have to scan many bins of dailies to look for a single marker, 2) increasing by orders of magnitude the amount of storage space needed, 3) even if problems 1 and 2 are handled, if you have to go to finish with multiple versions of a cut, and those versions reference separate instances of the same clip from different bins, Premiere's dupe frame detection will not work and you'll need to spend a lot of extra time locating duplicate clips manually before sending your EDL or XML off to final color grading.
At this point, I think it's necessary to interject something: we're talking about markers here. Why is this such a problem? FCP and Avid have no such issues simply by making markers - even clip markers - part of the project metadata. From what I understand, Adobe has chosen to do things differently because of dynamic link, so that After Effects and Prelude, for example, could add markers to a clip and those markers would ripple across all instances of that clip in the different applications. It's a great feature which we take advantage of here from time to time.
So what's the solution?
My workaround in CS6, which does not solve the issue of needing to merge clip markers so that an editor's markers and an assistant's markers can be applied to a single piece of media, was to turn off "write XMP ID to Files on Import." This would generate an XMP sidecar file which could be easily passed along with a project file to the remote editor, who could then overwrite his local XMP sidecars with the new ones containing the new marker info.
However, in Premiere CC that is no longer possible. It appears that if Premiere CC can access the XMP ID on a file, it will not generate a sidecar regardless of what you have set in your media preferences. We use ProRes Proxy as our dailies format (again, please no comments on this, it is not up for debate at this time) and Premiere can get to the XMP ID within the files and will not, no matter what it seems, generate an XMP sidecar.
We could change the company workflow to use DNxHD 36 instead of ProRes Proxy, which would give us XMP sidecars, but that would not solve the issue of needing to merge marker lists between projects non-destructively.
The best solution I can think of would be to have a script or some kind or built-in feature which would allow for the batch export, import and merging of marker lists. This way Adobe could keep its current clip-metadata-based marker workflow while giving professional users needing more flexible marker behavior the ability to have assistants non-destructively modify clip markers without necessitating the creation of extra media or project complexity.
I would really love some input on this and ideas from the pro community out there who has experience with shared project workflows - especially projects being shared remotely. There's not a lot of info out there about this and it would be great to hear what others are doing.
Thanks a million for sticking with this, if you've made it this far.
Best,
Jon

Thanks Jim,
I understand that Adobe Anywhere solves this, but there should be this fairly basic functionality (which exists in Avid and FCP) in a non-enterprise edition of the software. I have submitted a couple different feature requests about this, going back to CS5, so hopefully enough people make similar requests for a fix to be implemented. Adobe Anywhere is really not a solution for our small shop as currently configured/priced, especially when we can have editors working remotely with very affordable USB 3 drives. The only hangup is the markers, which just isn't worth a 5 figure fix. As such it's hard to consider the problem solved for either us or any small shop or post crew.
Best,
Jon

Problem with adding photo

hello
I'm trying to add photo with Ken burns effect to my movie , but i got a message saying that ( time remaining : less than a minute ) but if i remove the ken burn effect it works
so how can i solve it
thanks

iMovie 6 can have problems when third-party iMovie 5 and QuickTime plug-ins are installed on your Mac. Check for them and disable if necessary.
Make sure too that if the project resides on an external disk it uses the proper disk format. Most newly-purchased drives do not.
Both these issues are discussed here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1852869#1852869
I'm not clear what happens. When the Ken Burns checkbox is ON you get a message, right? (That's normal.) Then what happens? Does the rendered clip never appear in the Timeline?

Hit a wall with java

I'm writing a java application in netbeans and I've stumbled upon a problem I have no idea how to solve.
In my main code I'm starting a second, maximized frame and adding Canvas extending class that interacts with a user and draws stuff accordingly. The problem is at some point that canvas is supposed to tell the main application that it's finished, so the second frame can be closed and the data that was gathered during canvas action analyzed and I have no idea how to do that, since canvas can't see anything outside itself.
Any hints?

I think you're completely right Drew, I was thinking about something like that too, but it didn't occur to me that I could make that method static to solve the visibility problem.
Thank you.
Edit:
However there's no way to call nonstatic methods or variables from the instance of my main class from the public static method.

Trouble with adding photos to a collection

Hi,
till LR 4.1 it was easy to add photos to an existing collection. I just selected photos and dragged+dropped them on the name of the collection. Job done. This seems not to work in LR 4.2 any longer. I can only add photos to a collection by using the context menu of the collection ("Add marked photos to this collection" [most probably the correct English term is different as I work with the German edition of LR 4.2]). Is this supposed to be a feature - or just a bug?
Additionally I can't put photos in an individual order any more. Sorting them by date, name etc - easy! But rearranging the manually doesn't work any longer with my version. Again: feature or bug?
Any hint is welcome!
Regards,
Volker

I can't reproduce it here so far - what OS?
You're dragging from the thumbnail itself, and not the border surrounding?
You've restarted your computer?

Hitting a wall with my 3500+ Winchester

I am sorta new to building and OC'ing. My first build was 3 months ago and the one in my sig is my second. My problem is getting this to run at anything above 265. My HT freq. is set to 3. I have tried all different voltage settings. Currently I am at 1.45 and 5%. I try hitting more and get random freezes as soon as I stress it. One thing I have noticed is when I hit those levels and I try to run AM3 or the like when it flips a screen like when you click to start I am getting a crackling in my speakers. It only happens above 2.65 and I have my AGP set to 67. Any help is greatly appreciated cause this thing wants to go faster or at least I want it to.

Has anyone actually figured out how to fix this?
I am so far beyond annoyed. The "fix" listed here is a joke. I have tried it multiple times, with both settings and nothing changed.
I have tried reinstalling iTunes. No luck there.
Nothing seems to do the trick and I would really like to restore my ipod.
This started happening for no good reason either. It just started to act up yesterday even though I was using the iTunes store fine the night before. Then yesterday suddenly the store does not work and my ipod won't restore.
Oh and I have no firewall on.
edit: iTunes is the ONLY internet connection that is not working. Everything else (browsers, outlook, messengers, torrents, VNC, newsgroups, etc) is working perfectly fine.

Hit brick wall with "Getting started with DW"

Hi Guys, i am totally new to web design and DW, working
through the "Getting started with DW" under the “help”
banner seemed o.k at first until one leaves the comfort of table
design, once into the css and xml the environment the Getting
started tutorial is very shake and waiting for a reply from DW
would test even the patience of a Buddhist monks.
Can someone please recommend a good book/video/dvd or is it
best just to ask questions on this forum, it does seem faster than
DW.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Bal

To be honest with you, the very best way to get started is to
start with
HTML and then CSS. A week or two spent learning the basics of
both of these
will make DW seem like a walk in the park afterwards.
Ask your questions here, though....

Hit a wall with overclock/ any help?

I overclocked my 865gm2-ls motherboard and have run into a wall at 220mhz fsb. I have an nvidia 5500fx, a 2.8ghz northwood, 2 sticks of 512mb viking 3200 ddr400, and a 3rd generation stock heat sink/fan. I am running the older bios version 5.1 (it killed sata but gave me access to overclocking the cpu). Once I go beyond 220 the system will work for a while and then suddenly reboot. At 220 it runs great. Heat doesn't appear to be the issue. Is this a limitation of the board or is there some other tweak?
Any help is appreciated.
Todd

I finally have some ddr 550 to test this system. (I am building a new one) I set the fsb to 230 and let prime95 run torture test, set to 10, for around an hour. (didn't have more time) Stable so far. Good call Stu!

Settings For Adding Photos To Organiser - Elements 6

Hi folks,
I'm having a little trouble with adding photos to my organiser in Adobe Elemeents 6. What I want to be able to do is just to open the organiser and add the photos manually as per my own selection from my "My Pictures" folder.
What is happening is that I select the photos in My Pictures BUT when I go to the untagged photos it's actually pulled through the thumbnalis from the folder I originally held them when I was editing before I copied and pasted them to My Pictures.
Any thoughts on how I get to able to just retrieve manually from one place?
Thanks
Ian

Thanks for your reply.
Ok, i've tried a little test and what appears to be happening is this. When I download the images from my camera do not want to put them straight into "My Pictures". I download them to a different location first so that I can edit etc before I finally tranfer to "My Pictures". What appears to be happening is that the Organiser is locating them in both of the seperate files and taking a thumbnail from both. I'm ending up with two thumbnails per image. I know I can delete one of each every time but if I put loads of photos in it's a bit annoying.
I'm not using the Adobe photo download software to obtain my pictures from my cards, just the normal Microsoft Scanner/Card Reader software but I do not think this is the issue anyway.
Any ideas please?

I went back to my external drive, trying to open the folder (containing the pictures I was working on), an icon "Thumbs" came up. When I click on it, a message "can't find the application" came up, there is no picture to be found. Please help. Frustrated-George

iPhoto09 v 8.1.2
Double clicking on thumbnail results in glimpse of photo before changing to ! with a black background.

(Preferences set to magnify with double click)

That indicates that the iPhoto database has lost the connection to the high resolution photo - if you have not made any changes to the library (like cleaning uyp, deleting using thrid party software or form the all images list) then rebuilding will probably resolve it - Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto database

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!

What is the best software for burning a large slideshow with 500 photos and music to DVD?

What is the best software for burning a large slideshow with 500 photos and music to DVD?

Are you talking about strictly burning an already put-together slideshow or composing one and then burning it?
My all time favorite slide show maker is Photo to Movie; you can then burn it from there or get it into iMovie and/or iDVD for the "finishing" touch. My favorite burn software is Toast, although you can use iMovie, iDVD, and Finder as well.

Adding photos to an existing Mobile Me Gallery

When I drag a photo from an event into an existing Mobile Me gallery it/ will always be at the bottom of the gallery window (in last place). I have a few galleries that I like to update often with new photos. I would love if those new additions would be the first in the series without having to find the new photo and drag it to the top of the list of the gallery. Does anyone know a setting that I can change to make this happen?

After you've added the new photos and they have been published to the gallery, go into the gallery in iPhoto, rearrange the photos as you want and hit the publish button again. That will rearrange the photos online.
