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.
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. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

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:

How do you run a slideshow with no music in new Photos app

In the new Photos app I can find no way of running a slideshow without music - either the standard themes or selecting my own music. How can I run a slideshow with no music at all? No setting, tab or option seems to be available to achieve this.

Hit top right arrow for slide show; click on Music, click button next to search; choose Theme songs, click on blue check mark to remove it, then hit PLAY SLIDESHOW.

How can I make a slideshow with music and burn it to a disk?

I need to make a photo slideshow with music and burn it to a disk. I am able to make the slideshow but I cant figure out how to save it or burn it to a disk.

How do you want to play the slideshow? On another computer or on a TV set?
If it's the former export the slideshow as a QT movie file to the desktop and burn that file to a disk with the Finder.
If you want to create a video DVD of the slideshow so that it can be viewed on a TV set, use the Share ➙ iDVD menu option. That will export the slideshow into iDVD where you can complete the menu and project design.
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good and you can then burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

I dont want to use a files browser and hide my files and i dont want to use an application to encrypt them because I just want to sort my pictures in a folder and my video in afolder.
thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can also try to remove them from the images folder and the My videos folder, because this is where the Gallery will look for pictures and videos, and put them in another folder then reorganize them in sub folders within your new folder

Can you Make A Page With Multiple Videos?

when i try to add more than 1 video to a page. the 2nd one doesn't show up. is there anyway around this or does each video have to have its own page?
thanks

I was doing it on a blank page. When you drop the file on from the media browser you should see a + with a green background. It should load pretty fast unless it is a giant file.
If you want to add more than one file on a "movie" page, delete the "movie" place holder. Then you can add as many as you like. Kind of defeats the idea of having a movie page!

How do you make the ringtones with the new iTunes??

Its been said we can do it now... but how is it done?? I am not illiterate to this stuff.. but i seriously can not figure it out. Any help would be wonderful. Please dont tell me about the hack programs though, I already know that... I would like to just use iTunes.
Thanks!!
ababrown

You can't do it because they aren't available yet. Some time later this week, custom ringtones will be made available. You will know when it has happened because many of the songs in iTunes Music Store will show a little bell icon next to the track name. That bell icon means that the track can be used to make a custom ringtone.

How Do You Make a Slideshow Loop Twice?

I'm making a slideshow and need it to replay once through again. I've tried to drag the same photos back into the drop zone but nothing happens. Any suggestions?

I need the slideshow to run for 12 min on a DVD., but I only have enough pictures with a 5 sec. transition between shots to run for 6 min. I've got to put it on a DVD and don't want to run back to the player(because we won't have the time) and hit replay after it runs through the first time. Does that make sense?
Thanks for getting back TD

How do you make a favicon with adobe cc?

I cant figure out how to make a favicon. Anyone with any advise?

PNG files as favicons are only a recent innovation - IE11 supports them, but IE10 and earlier does not.
The default format should be a Windows ICO file (16x16 pixels). Natively Photoshop CC cannot save to ICO files, but there are plugins available as well as websites which will convert your PNG file to ICO for free. See http://forums.adobe.com/message/5474101

How do you make square brackets with the keyboard on this thing?

Needed for Matlab!

Yeah, I figured as much but thought if you knew where it was on the US keyboard it might help you find them on yours. Guess that doesn't work.
OK, then open the International preference of System Preferences. Click on the Input Menu tab (rightmost tab.) Check the box to display the Keyboard Viewer. You should now have a menu bar item for the Keyboard Viewer. When you select, it should open the viewer so you can find the location of the keys for the brackets. I "assume" it will be in French but I'm not sure. Obviously I don't have a French keyboard to test this out.
Hope this helps.
