How do you keep videos from completely playing in a slideshow (like the photos)?

In iPhoto, you can make slideshows to show photos for only 5 or however long of a duration you'd like... but when a video shows up in the show, all the pictures (depending on if you choose certain themes) will stick around on the screen as the video plays (or if the video is the only element in the current slide, also the video will completely play).
My question is.. is there any way to have the videos play for the same duration you set for the photos?  Like.. to have everything.. videos AND photos.. to only play for like 5 seconds etc.
I ask this because I want to show a really big album I have at a party with a slideshow, but because of all the video I take, when some videos are a bit longer (say like 2 to 3 mintues), it kinds disrupts the flow of the slideshow (as compared to just showing a short 5 second clip of the video like with the photos only being for 5 seconds as well.
Is this possible, or does anyone know a workaround solution?  I'd really like the videos to be in the slideshow too, but just not the whole videos.
We are talking thousands of photos and maybe hundreds of videos, here.  Nothing I'd want to edit individually.  iPhoto seems perfect for this if it would just only play portions of my video library instead of the whole videos.

No.  The videos will play for their entire length.  Try trimming the video in iPhoto by playing it and use the gear icon to bring up the Trip feature:
You'll get this window where you can select the portion of the video to use:
When you're done you can "revert to original" like this:
That may give you what you need for the slideshow.

  • How do you download video from sony camcorder to imovie

    how do you download video from sony camcorder to imovie. 

    First open up Imovie. Then plug the camcorder into the USB port. The computer will search for the camera. It will give a snapshot of what is on there. You can just click on CHECK ALL. It will begin to import. It will also tell you how long it will take. Once it is imported, click DONE. THEN, this is important, drag the snapshots into IMovie on the top to create a new project. You can also click on New Project and name it. When all the pics are in the movie, it will be saved. You can then edit it any way you want. I've done this many times on a Mac. My problem is the internal memory. I have to find out how to get the internal memory videos into my computer. Am currently researching it. BTW, importing from the memory stick is what I did above. Hope this helps.

    What do mean by reloading? Once you sync the photos to the iPad they should not sync again. Is that what you are seeing? The progress bar is showing that the photos are being transferred all over again?

  • How do you move videos from video app into camera roll?

    I need to use a video in a Keynote presentation. How do I move a video from the Videos app into the Camera Roll so I can access it in Keynote?

    I don't think that you can do it directly on the iPad, you will need to sync it to the Photos app from your computer's iTunes i.e. if you are syncing photos from your computer then copy it into one of those photo folders, make sure that 'include videos' is ticked on the Photos tab, and re-sync (or if you have the camera connection kit then you can use, for example, an SD card and copy it via that).
    If it's an iTunes purchased video then it possibly won't sync to the Photos app (I've never tried it), and whilst they can be copied via the kit they won't play in the Photos app - so they might not also play in Keynote, they may only play in the Videos app.

  • How to you transfer video from iphone to iPad?

    Does anyone know how to get videos taken on an iPhone 4s onto an ipad2 other than the cloud which I can't get to work on my iPad? 

    Well we have a couple of options, the one i prefer is the iPhoto route its also similar in Windows.
    Option 1
    If you own a Mac and iPhoto you can create an Event called Videos and drop selected videos you may want from other events. For windows its the same thing but instead you will be creating a Video folder under My Pictures.
    In iTunes go to Devices this is where your iPhone or iPad appears. You will find your iPhone or iPad select the Photos tab, under (Sync Photos from) hit the drop down menu and select the (iPhoto) option. Here you will check (Selected albums Events, and Faces, and automatically include no Events). Select the appropiate events including your video Events or folders.
    The Main thing that brings this together is making sure you select include videos under the same Photos tab.
    You should now have these folders or events in your iPhone, iPod or iPad.
    Option 2
    The other option we have is using a USB iPhone cable with a USB adapter sold from apple. It comes with an SD card reader and USB reader. The name of the product is named the Apple iPad Camera Connection kit
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC531ZM/A?fnode=MTc0MjU4NjE
    Option 3 for Pictures only
    Photostream the only downside to this is no video support that should be coming i hope.

  • Forte and MIDlet - how do you keep Forte from seeing J2SE classes?

    I am developing MIDlets with Forte; I have created a new MIDlet within a MIDlet suite, using the HelloWorld template.
    However Forte lets me use any old class in my code, not just the MIDP classes. For example, if I write a
    Float f = new Float();
    line in my code, Forte will compile without batting an eyelid, even though there is no Float class in MIDP.
    How can I keep Forte from accepting the use of J2SE classes when compiling MIDlets?
    Thanks

    OK, fixed - here's what I did:
    - I went to Project/Settings/Compiler Types and I moved the J2ME Wireless Internal Compilation on top of the list
    - then to Project/Settings/J2ME Wireless Settings and make sure that the J2ME Wireless Internal Compilation was the default compiler
    - then Project/Settings/Java Sources/Default compiler and set the compiler again
    -then I went to Tools/Global Options/J2ME Wireless Options and set "Check default compiler" to false
    Now it works!Perhaps there are useless/contradictory steps in there, but at least now my code is only compiled against MIDP classes and not J2SE classes.
