How to create a 16x9 slideshow

I'm looking for the best method to create a slideshow that ends up in 16x9, without stretching the images, for viewing on a large LCD HD TV. Something tells me that I might need to begin by cropping the original images in pre-processing, but I'd sure like to hear some specific steps from someone who has successfully accomplished this.
Prior to this point, I've usually started this process in iPhoto by exporting a slideshow as a .mov and then importing into iDVD.
thanks for any tutoring here....

How to create a photo slideshow in imovie 11

describe how to create a 200 photo slideshow from the start using imovie 11 with titles, transitions and music and then burn it to a dvd

iMovie is to edit movies; creating a slideshow is easier in iPhoto. When finished, you can then move it to iMovie or iDVD to create a cool menu/theme and burn it.
Here is a link to Apple support - I searched for "how to create a slideshow in iPhoto":

A much better alternative would be Photo to Movie (not free) - it does everything you want:

How to create a Photo slideshow to the beat of the Music?

How do I create an upbeat slideshow where each picture changes right at the beat of the music? I know how to add markers and insert my photos one my one, but is there an easier more effective way to do this? It is very difficult to try to just listen to the music and guess where the beats are, I wish there was a sure way to know where the beat of the music is. Once you even have all the markers placed, is there a way to insert all the photos at once right where the markers are? I have been researching and trying to do this for the past few days, and feel like there must be a better way to do it. Any advice would be appreciated.

How to create an iDVD slideshow from an iPhoto book

Hello,
I created a book in iPhoto and would like to create a DVD of the book. I'm using iDVD 7.1.2 and iPhoto 9.5.1. Is this still a possibility?
Thanks in advance
Scott Lorigan

This tutorial should help: iP05 - Creating an iDVD Slideshow From an iPhoto Book.
Follow this workflow in iDVD to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
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, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

How to create a photo slideshow in my movie

Hello all,
Im woking on my first movie with Premier Elements 12 and I can not figure out how to include a slideshow of pictures at the end of my movie.
Of course I can drag the photos on the timeline and use trancients in between but there is nothing I can do with the picture like editting/cut parts off, make them black/white and use movement effects for example.
Isnt this an option/included in Premiere lements 12 ?
I just bought the software but also played around with the trial of Cyberlink Powerdirector which has this handy magic function to select all pictures at once and create different/random trancirents and effects and pictures could be editted also.
This is what Im after but I can not find how to do this stuff in Premiere lements 12.
Hope someone can help me out.
Thatnks in advance

AlexSan
Do you have Photoshop Elements 12 as well as Premiere Elements 12?
What is this "movie" that the photo slideshow is going to be at the end of? A video? If so, what are the
properties of that video...video and audio compressions, frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, file extension, pixel aspect ratio?
What is your intended final product...DVD-VIDEO standard or widescreen on DVD disc, AVCHD on DVD disc, or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc?
With the above information, I will suggest some approaches that you might want to look into.
Thanks.

How to create an autoplay slideshow in InDesign

Hi, I would like to create a banner in InDesign with transitions and export as swf file, but I would like it to autoplay on load instead of having people navigate from page to page.
Is it possible to create an autoplay action within InDesign?
Thank you

I have the same question, but I'm afraid there's no such setting in CS5.5. It would make a good feature, so you will be able to make stand-alone flash web banners without having to use - or know how to work with Flash Pro.
I tried something wit the Timing window, but I was not able to work out the simple sequence that I had in mind.
If somebody has an idea I'd be happy to know about it!

OK I'm still confused on how to create a 2006 slideshow

Happy New Year All,
I'm trying to create a slideshow of about 400 photos from my iPhoto library. I would like to just click on one chapter button to start the slideshow, but would like to break up the slideshow into several sections with different music playing to reflect the mood of the pictures. Is there a simple way to do this, or should I be using iMovie to make a movie and then burn it to DVD? I was hoping this would be easy in iDVD as it seems that iMovie takes considerable time to accomplish this task. Especially when you add transitions and the like. I've found that rendering these types of actions can take a very long time in iMovie.
Thanks for the help

I've only used iDVD a couple of times to create a slide show and was frustrated by the limited options of adding movies and transitions for various sections. So I reverted to creating an iMovie with the stills. A couple of notes that made it easier for me...
1. You can make the default time to display a pic constant so that when you import them they all have the same duration.
2. If you highlight a selection of photos on the timeline, you can select a transition that will apply to all.
3. The big advantage is that you can add music and edit the length to fit your slides.
I think the biggest advantage of the slide show function in iDVD is that it is fast and easy, but at the cost of flexibility in transitions, etc. And there may be a limitation on number of slides you can put into the iDVD project. But making the slide show in iMovie is not that hard.
Maybe other users have more insight into the capabilities of iDVD and slide shows.

How to create a video slideshow in Adobe Muse

Hello there,
I'm new to Muse and have a general question about creating a slideshow using videos instead of images. More specifically, if my videos live on an external site (youtube or vimeo, for example). In an ideal situation, I will see thumbnails of each video within the Slideshow grid. When one is clicked, the go into Slideshow mode and the video starts playing. 'Next' or 'Previous' buttons act as navigation to play other videos. Really, I'd like the Slideshow widget to do exactly what it does with images, just with videos.
Thoughts?
I'm running the latest version of Muse CC on a beefed out Mac with Snow Leopard.
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Hello,
You can try the following work around with composition:-
1) Add a you tube video to the page.
2) Drag the video to the target of composition widget.
3) Resize the video to have the size of the target.
The triggers can have the images related to the videos so as to act as thumbnails for videos.

How to create a jpeg slideshow.

With a lot of help I have now created a slide show with captions. However when I export the slide show I get only pdf format. I need jpeg so I can stream the file to my dvd player to see on the television.
I finally found a way to export to jpeg but the captions do not follow and I think that is because I export from the Collection under LIBRARY instead of the SLIDESHOW to avoid the pdf format. I am sure there is a path somewhere to export a complete slideshow in jpeg format. Can anyone help with this?
Thanks for any help,
Ray Zachary

Thanks for your quick response. Unfortunately, The Export JPEG Slideshow command does not appear in any menu whether I am in the Slideshow module or the Library module. I thought this type of command existed when I built a slide show in the past. However, it does not seem to be available now. Is there a preference or other trigger that would cause this item to either be there or not be there?

I personally like Nivo and Wowslider.
I've never used the one I posted above. As far as I can tell, that's the one that was used in the example given by the OP.

Create random order slideshow and burn to dvd

I am trying to create a random order slideshow and burn it to a dvd playable on a dvd player. I tried creating the slideshow in iphoto using the album mode, and was successful in creating the slideshow, but cannot save, export or burn. Would appreciate any help.

Thanks for your help!
I am trying to make a slide show of 900+ photos. I moved the photos from a CD into iPhoto. Originally I tried Magic iDVD, dropped the photos from the Event zone into the drop zones in Magic iDVD, chose a theme and previewed. The slides were shuffled from the beginning, and at first I thought that some of the themes allowed the shuffling of the slides as an effect. However, I did notice that the slides remained in the same order regardless of the theme chosen, but wasn't sure why this was the case. I then made the mistake of trying to eliminate a few of the slides and divide the slides more evenly between the two drop zones. I went back to the Event, opened the folder and selected the photos to be included and moved them to a new folder. From that point on the "shuffle" of the photos was gone and the photos appeared in the order in which they were taken. I spent several hours of trial and error trying to reinstate the shuffle, called Apple, talked with various Apple help and more expert users and finally ended up seeking help from the discussion boards where I found the post explaining how to create the shuffled slideshow in the Albums area of iPhoto . This is exactly what I am looking for--shuffled photos and random transitions! Unfortunately, it seems as though you can only view this slideshow from the computer. Now I am looking for another way to do the same thing. I am new to Apple, and trial and error is extremely time consuming and in this case not very productive. If there is a software program which will create a random shuffle (either Mac or Win) I can always create the shuffle and then import the photos back into the Events folder and create the DVD. Any help/ideas for a successful completion of this project are welcome! Thanks.

How do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it when you just play a slideshow.

how do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it with presets when you just play a slideshow, but i don't see an option to randomly shuffle the slide order when you create a new slideshow. i know you can sort it by different fields, but i want it to be random. thanks.

If you want to rearrange images in random order you can try an AppleScript:
retrieve a list of selected images from Aperture
shuffe the list properly
create an album in Aperture and add the images from the list to the album (make sure that the album set to be orederd manually)
Here is a sample script that shuffles the selected images and displays them in random order in Full Screen Mode:
on removeItem(ims, i)
-- remove the item at position "i" from a list ims
          if ims is {} then return {}
          if (length of ims is 1) then return {}
          if i < 2 then return rest of ims
          if (i = length of ims) then return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims)
          if i > (length of ims) then return ims -- should be error?
          return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims) & (items (i + 1) thru (length of ims) of ims)
end removeItem
on shuffle_items(ims)
-- shuffle the items of the list "ims" randomly
          local numitems, ims_shuffled, nextrest, nextpick, i
          set numitems to length of ims
          if length of ims < 2 then return ims
          set ims_shuffled to {}
          set nextrest to ims
          repeat until nextrest is {}
                    set i to (random number (numitems - 1)) + 1
                    set nextpick to item i of nextrest
                    set beginning of ims_shuffled to nextpick
                    set numitems to numitems - 1
                    set nextrest to removeItem(nextrest, i)
          end repeat
          return ims_shuffled
end shuffle_items
on shuffleIms()
-- retrieve the selected images from Aperture
-- and display them in random order in full screen mode
          local imageSel, shuffled, i
          tell application "Aperture"
activate
                    set imageSel to (get selection)
                    set shuffled to my shuffle_items(imageSel)
                    set fullscreen to true
                    if imageSel is {} then error "Please select some images."
                    repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                              reveal {item i of shuffled}
delay 3 -- chnage that to the time you want
                    end repeat
                    set fullscreen to false
                    return shuffled
          end tell
end shuffleIms
shuffleIms()
Some more code snippets to go from here:
To create an album:
                    tell library 1
                              if not (exists album "shuffledAlbum") then
make new album with properties {name:"shuffledAlbum", image version:shuffled}
                              end if
                    end tell
And to add the images from the shuffled list to the album:
                    repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                              duplicate item i of shuffled to album "shuffledAlbum"
                    end repeat

How do I create a scrolling slideshow in iMovie?

So I know how to make a basic slideshow in iMovie, but I'd like to create a "scrolling/sliding" slideshow (see link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXit8kxCCTg). That video uses videos, however, I'm using still pictures. The pictures can all just be side by side too, they don't have to stack like one on top of the other (I'll edit all my photos before hand to make them the same height). I'm using iMovie '11. I'll probably have 150-300 pictures all together. I'd also love to add a timeline to the bottom of the pictures to scroll with the pictures...should I just add that in to each individual picture before hand, and then put it all into iMovie, or can I do it all in iMovie? Also, towards the end of that youtube video, it all starts scrolling backwards....is there a way to do this???
Basically, I'd like to create a scrolling picture timeline with continuous text scrolling across the bottom that I can also play in reverse. Is this even possible in iMovie? Any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated. This is time sensitive. I really need to know how to do this by Friday. THANKS!!!!!

I agree with John that you could do this in Final Cut Pro X and Motion, but there is probably a plugin that you can purchase that would do the hard work in Motion for you.
I think it might be technically possible to do this in Motion and export out in a file that iMovie can import, but in the video example, there is a lot more going on such as multicam syncing that would require Final Cut Pro X. Motion's strength is not to use it as a video editor. It is best used as a way to create a special effect that you can then use in a FCPX project. (just my opinion)
Here are some example of FCPX plugins. There are hundreds more.
