How do i?? Trying to make a slideshow with animat text to play on 16:9 HDTV

ok. In a rush here.
How do i setup my sequence so i can import photos and add animated text to create a 4 minute animated slideshow. The end result will be burned onto DVD and played on a 16:9 HD Plasma or LCDTV.
What is the settings for the sequence?
How do i export?
What program should i use to burn to DVD?
Do i need to go get a special DVD player to play this DVD?
If done correctly will i get a clear image that will fit on a 16:9TV and look near HD quality?
Thanks in advance to everyone!
Sincerely,

The DVD player you want to use will not deal with HD DVD's... so you need to make an SD project in the end.
Set your sequence settings to DVCPROHD 1080i 60... Edit in that sequence. The jitter in your stills could be caused by a number of things, but normally if you will downsize the pictures to a size not much bigger than your sequence settings' size they may well look a lot better. In the case of the DVCPROHD settings above, you'd make them no larger than 1500 pixels in either direction, and no larger than 300 dpi... they must also be RGB stills not CMYK... You need Photoshop or similar to change them and resize them with... make sure their format is RGB and not much larger than what I've suggested for size. Tiffs or Picts work better than JPEGs too. JPEG's take a lot longer to render...
If these stills are smaller than that to begin with... might be best to use the standard DV NTSC anamorphic sequence setting, and the following workflow would work for either case. It's just that the HD settings would keep things in a higher resolution to start with, and the better you start with, the better the end product will be. Using uncompressed HD settings would be even better, but it takes a pretty serious mac setup to deal with these huge files. Fast array for playback and Capture card for monitoring externally with...
When you get finished, simply choose File/Export/Using Compressor. It's recommended by many to NOT use any rendered media... i.e. trash your renders before you export the sequence to Compressor. This is done from the Tools menu (Render manager) just check on the sequence you're exporting there and trash the renders for it en masse.
In compressor choose a 16:9 SD preset that is the shortest you can use... i.e. if your sequence is shorter than 90 minutes, use the high quality dual pass VBR preset for 90 minutes... Then import the resulting SD MPEG files into DVD SP and create your Standard Def DVD with them.

Music trouble while trying to make a slideshow with iPhoto

I am trying to make a slideshow for a family member. I have assorted the pictures in the correct order and that part is done. However, when I went to go and add music to the show, iPhoto only lets me pick one song that I can play continuously throughout the show or just once. I would like to try and put about 5 or 6 songs on to go with the pictures but I can not find any way I can do this. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on what I can do or what software I may need to buy instead. Thank you very much.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. This is what Terence is referring to:
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Slideshow with pure text

Is it possible to make a slideshow with pure text, for quotations, in Muse without too much trouble?

Sure! I think that ant of the composition widgets would work well, however I would use the tooltip widget! You can use images, text, or any combination! There is also an "auto play" feature that you can use to automate the sideshow!
Hope this helps,

I'm trying to make a slideshow in iMovie, but when I upload photos from my Aperture Library into the iMovie Photo Browser some photos (305 out of 427) are missing. How do I get iMovie to upload all of them?

I'm trying to make a slideshow in iMovie, but when I upload photos from my Aperture Library into the iMovie Photo Browser, some photos (305 out of 427) are missing. How do I get iMovie to upload all of them?

I have same problem. I could only see a fraction of my project photos if I browse the Aperture lbrary. It is the same problem when I sync the aperture photos to my iPhone or iPad. I still cannot solve it but I know a way to go around it for your iMovie to see the pictures so that you can work on your iMovie.
Here is the work around:
Export the photos from your album to your hard disk and re-import into your iPhoto. Now you should be able to see those photos that you want to work on in iMovie when you browse your iPhot library.

Just bought Photoshop Elements 13...I'm trying to make a slideshow but can't figure out how to alter duration time that the slide is on the screen. They presently move from one to another way too quickly...also need a different pan and zoom option. Where are all the options I had in PS10? Also...Can I burn this to a DVD?

The changes have brought improvements but also drawbacks compared with the old slideshow editor.
The templates are now fairly fixed but I find the “Classic Dark” gives reasonable results with some panning and you can click the audio button and browse you PC for any track. Unfortunately there are only three speed choices linked to the music track. The improvement for most people is that you can now export to your hard drive at 720p or 1080p and upload to sites like YouTube and Vimeo.

Where are you located?
Just go and buy an iTunes gift card at any store in your country.
Then follow all the steps you did, but when it asks you for the credit card number, there shoujld be a GIFT CARD option which will let you load your account witht eh funds form the gift card without providing a credit/debit card #.

How do you make a slideshow with pictures & videos?

ok, i'm new to mac & video editing. i want to make a slideshow with pictures & @ the end of it, i want to put in a clip from a home video. if i put the home video on a DVD, will i be able to edit it? i know i have to edit the video in imovie but where do i go from there? can i import it into iphoto & make the slideshow there? if so, how do i save the imovie project as the right file type so i can import it into iphoto? if i can't make it in iphoto, what program do i use? i want the slideshow to be able to be viewed on a PC also.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As already mentioned you'll need to use a 3rd party slideshow application or iMovie.
However, you can create a slideshow in iDVD with stills and a video clip as iDVD 7 (08) now permits both stills and movie clips to be placed in a slideshow. This screenshot shows multiple video clips in an iDVD slideshow but you can also have stills and video clips.

Trying to make a slideshow of image with iMovie

Trying to make a slideshow of images for clients. Images are good quality images (5616x3744), edited in Lightroom.
As soon as I import the images in iMovie, I see a clear degradations in quality. All the blacks are full of pixels. Impossible to work with.
I can't even imagine the export that this file would suffer in term of quality.
I did change in Preferences - Video : Import video in HD format. I've tried both options. Doesn't change a thing.
Anyone? Am I a fool to think that iMovie should be doing a better job at handling those files ?
Let me know !
Thanks !

Hi
(5616x3744)
• is a far higher resolution than iMovie can handle
• downscaling is done badly in iMovie
• is far more resolution that any screen / Projector I know of can show
• and if You go for a DVD as result the quality loss will be even worse
iMovie - should be able to handle 1920x1080 (at it's best I guess)
DVD is as standard - interlaced SD-Video (at it's best)
• NTSC (29.97fps) 520 lines - about 640x480 pixels (square) 720x480 rectangular (narrow) pixels
• PAL (25 fps) 625 lines - about 768x576 pixels (square) 720x576 rectangular (narrow) pixels
If iMovie'08 to 11 is used in a DVD process then 50% of SD-Video quality is lost as they all discard every second line in the picture.
So when I do my SlideShows I do
• Use iMovie HD6 or FinalCut any version - as they deliver max (100% interlaced SD-Video) to DVD authoring software
• FotoMagico™ - included in Roxio Toast™ bundle - then burn as Blu-Ray (on standard DVDs - CAN ONLY be played on BD-Players as PlayStation3 (not even on the Mac))

Trying to make a slideshow in iphoto and export it to iDVD

I just got a Macbook Pro this week and I am using the ilife 6 suite on it. I imported about 50 pictures into iphoto and created a slideshow with 1 music track playing in the slideshow. I want to be able to play this slideshow on a dvd player hooked up to a tv so I exported the slideshow to iDVD. I notice, it takes an extremely long time to export the file into iDVD, after about 15minutes, an error message comes up saying "An error has occured exporting slideshow to idvd". I also get a message saying I'm running out of HD space when I have about 53gb remaining. I checked my HD space and the slideshow ended up eating 32gb of HD space so I just deleted it. Can anyone tell me how to make a slideshow in iphoto so that it plays on my dvd player?
Thanks

I'm not really sure how to do any of this. I've had a Mac for a year but haven't really learned to use iphoto or iDVD. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!

How can I make a slideshow with pictures and burn it to a dvd? what program to use?

how can i make a slideshow with my pictures and then burn it to a dvd?

Apple's builtin "iPhoto" application can do that easily. Open iPhoto and click on "Help" at the top of the screen for assistance in creating it.
Hope this helps

Where is the best place to make a slideshow with pictures and music on a mac?

Where is the best place to make a slideshow with pictures and music on Macbook Pro?

There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

Does Premeire Elements 11 make a slideshow with different background themes?

Does Premeire Elements 11 make a slideshow with different background themes?

Em Smither
Do you actually have Premiere Elements 11 Windows at this time? And, have you used any prior version of the program? I ask so that I van gauge how deeply to go into different aspects of the program. So, please excuse if I generalize now on matters that you already are aware of.
Premiere Elements is a video editor that will support the use of your own stills and video and music on its Timeline tracks to export to file or
burn to disc.
The Instant Movie can be broken apart once created. And,that Instant Movie feature is editable, leaving components that you want, adding others, and removing others, and you can include your own music in it.
But if you prefer to start from the beginning you can import your photos and music and then add your own assets to the tracks..title templates, backgrounds, etc probably along the line of what one of those Instant Movies would be aimed at. But, I do not see a choice for selecting a particular theme for the slideshow other than that. However, there is an opportunity to select a theme for the disc menus if the export is a burn to disc or part of the webDVD feature.
Did you have in mind, something like placing a theme based background on Video 1 and then on upper tracks directly above scaling your photos so that the background can be seen around them?
Please let me know if I am still not targeting your question.
Thanks.

IPhoto quits when I try to make a slideshow with music

IPhoto quits constantly when I try to make a slideshow with music from my Itunes library. I've tried creating a new, separate library with no luck. I'm running mavericks with iPhoto 9.5.1. Does anyone else have this problem? Are there any other options on a mac to make a simple slide show? This is a pretty simple thing. Although iPhoto's always been really slow the past couple of years, the fact that my mac is incapable of doing it is beyond disappointing.
Thanks,
Tom

Tom,
do you have enough free disk space? rendering slideshows needs plenty of free space, or the system may have problems.
When exactly is iPhoto crashing? When you play the slideshow? When you add the music? When you render the slideshow as a video?
You have tried a new library, but have you tried differnet music?
And tried if you are having the same problem from a different user account?

I'm trying to make a timelapse with 900 pictures converted into 30 fps to get a 30 seconds video but after exporting my movie why is my video length 15 minutes?

So, I downloaded a slideshow templates and I'm trying to make a timelapse with 900 pictures converted into 30 fps to get a 30 seconds video but after exporting my movie why is my video length 15 minutes?

What settings are you using to export the video with? I think 29.97fps is the only one that works with LR 5:
