How can I play only part of a song (stop the song short) during a slideshow in iphoto and fade into the next song?

I am making a slideshow and I only want to play half of one song and fade into the next. How can I do this?

You need an slideshow app that gives you more control over the Soundtrack.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie, on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price:  PhotoPresenter  $29
PhotoToMovie  $49.95
PulpMotion  $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Express  $199
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs.  However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

  • How can I download only part of my library?

    I've started purchasing movies to stream to my television through AppleTV, but I'm running out of space on my MacBook Pro. I'm considering buying a Mac Mini and running it as part of my entertainment system instead of storing the movies on the laptop. Once that's working, I'd like to remove the movies from the laptop to free up disk space. So--
    Is it possible to authorize two machines (laptop, Mac Mini) on an iTunes account but then only download purchases to one or the other? If so, how? In this case, I'd like to download purchased movies to the Mac Mini and music and books to the laptop.
    Thanks.

  • How can I transfer only part of a playlist to iPod?

    This new iTunes is a nightmare.  Because the **** iPod touch is only 16GB, I want to transfer PART of several playlists to the iPod.  I do not want to delete songs from my Library permanently, I only want to have the same playlists on my iPod as I have in iTunes, but reduced versions of them because of the size limitation.  I also want to jkeep the same basic playlist structure as my overall library, but only a portion of each playlist will end up on the iPod.  In previous versions of iTunes, I could drag an entire palylist to the iPod, then I could go in and delete songs or albums from the iPod in order to fit other playlists.  This version will not let me do that.  Please help!

    What exactly is the nightmare part? Playlists are the same as they've always been.
    Perhaps one idea, after we find out exactly what the issue is that you are having, is to create Smart Playlists, and use those to Sync to your iPod.
    With a Smart Playlist, you set rules. You could create a Smart Playlist that looks at you first Playlist, but only includes songs that haven't been played for a while. So after a song has been played, it is removed from the Playlist and only put back again after x weeks, or x months, according to your preferences and the size of the Playlist.
    All that happens automatically, at Sync time. So after setting them up, you don't have to do anything except Sync the iPod every now and again, and possibly modify the rules if you find the list is still too large, or now not large enough.

  • How can I OCR only part of a long document?

    OCR with a pdf file is usually very simple.  Not here.  This is a legal-type document (PDF) with with line numbers on the left and vertical lines on both sides of the text I want to OCR.  If OCR includes the line numbers I will have to spend hours removing them. The left side also include a law firm's name and the bottom has the title of the document, both of which I have blocked out.  (Line numbering was fairly common on pre-printed legal stationery in the typewriter days; most courts have gotten beyond the way things were done in those days but obviously.  It obviously makes OCR a challenge!)  In much earlier versions of Acrobat I used a simple tool called Eraser from a British firm (long gone) that neatly erased anything from a pdf file, such as all the stuff I want to get rid of here, before running the OCR and saving the document as a Word file. That tool does not work with Acrobat 9 and the version I am now using, Acrobat X.  Oh, and just retyping all the text is not an option for me.
    There MUST be a way to do this!  Any suggestions?

    Redaction will certainly do the job but it is horribly tedious**.  My document is 19 pages.  With 3 such redactions per page I am looking at close to 60 redactions, one at a time.  All the redactions are identical.  That is, the stuff I want to remove on the left side of the page is the same for each of the 19 pages.  Same with the stuff to be removed on the right and the bottom.  I can't see any way to apply my redaction to more than 1 page at a time.  If doing so is impossible is there a way to extract (by cropping or otherwise) the part of the page I want to use?  Obviously it is the same for all 19 pages.  Is it possible that what I want to remove is in some removable "layer" separate from the text in question?
    **Even more tedious than the low tech solution I have been using for the occasions when I confronted this problem:
    Print a copy of the document
    Using scissors cut out the stuff I want to get rid of, a few pages at a time.
    Using Acrobat scan the resulting document
    Save the result as a PDF file
    Open the PDF file and save is as a Word file
    Open the Word file and copy/paste the absurdly formatted text into a clean Word document.  This strips out the bizarre formatting due to the scanning process.
    Clean up the new Word document, save it and
    Finally get to work using the text.
    FYI the test I want to extract or get consists of written interrogatories or questions for which I must prepare responses.  I want the responses to include the questions. 

  • How can I delete only one part of my xml file?

    Hello,
    I stored more than 100 users in only one xmltype column. For instance
    Create table agro(users XMLTYPE);
    ... and I inserted all users inside
    INSERT INTO agro values(XMLTYPE
    ('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <authentication><users><user>
    <name>cocoon</name>
    <password>cocoon</password>
    <role>admin</role>
    <title>Mr.</title>
    <firstname>Walter</firstname>
    <lastname>Cocoon</lastname>
    <company />
    <street />
    <zipcode />
    <city />
    <country>DE</country>
    <phone />
    <fax />
    <email />
    <bankid />
    <bankname />
    <accountid />
    </user>
    ... another user, etc.
    </users></authentication>'));
    Now I tried to delete only one part of this file. For example all persons with the name"cocoon".
    I used for this target the following statement:
    DELETE FROM agro agro
    WHERE agro.users.extract('authentication/users/user/text()').getStringVal()= 'cocoon';
    When I execute this statement, Oracle DB delete all users and not only with the name "Cocoon".
    How can I delete only one part of my xml file?
    Kind Regards
    M R

    This the expected behavoir. You uploaded a document containing multiple users and then asked XML DB to delete any documnet that contained a user with the name in question. The problem here is that you are creating a mega document that contains an aggregation of user documents but then trying to work with individual user documents. This is a bad idea.
    In general XML does not understand the concept of a collection of documents. It can only operate on one document at a time. Hence the tendancy to aggregate individual documents into a single larger document. Once you have an XML database, you can perform operations on collections of document, as easily as you can perform operations on individual documents, so the need to aggregate the individual documents together disappears.
    If you store each user document as a seperate document then your delete will work as expected.

  • How can I play MPEG-4 files in Premier Elements?  It plays in iTunes but I only see video in Element

    how can I play MPEG-4 files in Premier Elements?  It plays in iTunes but I only see video in Elements

    LGSh
    Lots of questions, lots of answers needed as mentioned by Hunt. But please include what version of Premiere Elements that you are using when you reply.
    How are you importing these file into your Premiere Elements project?
    After you drag your file to the Timeline, do you see both an video and audio component (on Video 1/Audio 1) or is there nothing on the Audio 1 track? If you can see a wave form or file on Audio 1, have you checked all the program's volume settings including Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware and the ASIO settings?
    More later.
    Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything written.
    Thank you.

  • Mysql datetime datatype, from that datetime how can i compar only time part

    Hello i have database table in mysql, there is Datetime datatype column, from that datetime how can i compare only time part .....??
    Thanks in advance...

    Note you can't simply just compare time via equality however.
    Timestamp resolution is to the second or even milli-second. No user wants to match a time to an exact millisecond.
    What they want is something like a match by hour - for example returning the number of transactions that happened from 1pm to 2pm. Even that isn't completely correct because then you need to consider whether 1pm and/or 2pm is inclusive or exclusive. Normally one end will be inclusive and the other exclusive.
    So first you need to define what the period is.
    Then construct the range.
    Then pass the range and, as already mentioned, use specific functions to handle the extraction of the time.

  • Play only part of a video and set seek bar accordingly

    Is there a way to load and play clips from a larger video with FLVplayback in Flash CC AS3?
    For example, if my flv video is 5 minutes long and has 10 cuepoints, how do I play only from cuepoint x to cuepoint y?
    ALSO, I would like the seekbar handle to go to 0% at cuepoint x, and at 100% rest at cuepoint y. This way, the user can only seek through the current clip.
    This will let me load the video one time, and then use different parts of it as needed.
    I thought I had found a reference to flvplayback play() method that had a start parameter, but could not find examples.
    System: Windows 7, Adobe CC.
    Thanks.

    you can use the seek method to start play from cp x.  unless you're using a streaming server likefms or redhat, you must wait until the video has loaded up to cp x.
    you can use a cp listener to check when cp y has been reached.
    you can control the seekbar if you make your own.  ie, you can't use the flvplayback seekbar.

  • How can I extract only the audio as an aiff file?

    Using a Sony DSC-N2 Cybershot Camera I recorded video that was saved as “MOV01606.MPG”. The video plays back with sound in Quicktime Pro and iTunes but how can I extract only the audio as an aiff file?

    Use MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert your .mpg files to QuickTime formats.
    QuickTime can't extract audio from muxed file formats.

  • HT1689 How can I play podcasts on my iphone without using data?

    How can I play podcasts on my iphone without using data?

    I used to sync my podcasts to my phone individually, but found out that the Podcast app works better for me.  It continously downloads the podcasts (not really sure when, that's the only thing, when its downloading it may use data depending on where you are) and also deletes the ones i have listened to.  Hopefully that will help you out!

    What to do?? - I just updated my iTunes to ver 11.2.1 because of the annoying messages they keep sending out.
    Now I can't play the movies and TV series I've purchased and were watchable before.
    Comes up with "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)."
    The cheek of the matter is everytime I tried to get Apple support it comes up with a request for me to pay $54 for their support package, to fix a problem I didn't have until I complied to one of their update requests.
    End of Rant!!! - Anyone know how to fix please?

    Well, I wonder about all the responses...:)
    Anyhow, I wound up "fixing" the problem by using the System Restore disks for the Mini. It's now running Tiger 10.4.11 (with all updates) and I copied my iTunes library over. It all works now. <shrug> I have no idea what the problem was, and I'm a bit leery of upgrading it to Leopard, so I think I'll just leave well enough alone.
