*** How to export widescreen slideshow

I know how to create a widescreen slideshow but I'm not sure how to export it as widescreen for the web. Can anyone help me with the settings so that it doesn't look stretched?
Thanks in advance!

I figured it out. You need to "share" the slideshow to iDVD in order to export it in a widescreen format.

    Help! After creating my widescreen slideshow (1024x768), I found the only export option is 640x480. If this issue has been addressed previously, forgive me, as the search option on the server isn't working.

  • How to export iPhoto slideshow to quicktime and then view on video iPod?

    How do you export a slideshow to a Quicktime movie (from iPhoto) so that the resulting Quicktime movie is then viewable on an iPod?
    I've exported slideshows (with transitions, specified Ken Burns effects, music, etc.) to Quicktime movies to try to view these on my iPod. I don't want to view my photo albums since they don't have of the effects that the slideshow has. There is an option to save the slideshow in a small file size that is presumably viewable on an ipod. About 80% of the time, however, the Quicktime movies are then NOT viewable on my iPod. My iPod just freezes when I try to start the movie.
    Here are the steps I use to export
    1. From iPHoto Select the slideshow / File / Export / select small movie
    2. From iTunes / File / Import / select the Quicktime movie that was created from the slideshow

    2. iPhoto '08 version 7.1.1 (354)
    3. Video iPod purchased in May 2006. (60 GB). Uses iPod software version 1.2.3 (most current version for this iPod)
    4. Quicktime Player version 7.3.0 Player Version 7.3 (7.3)
    I've tried synchronizing my iTunes with the Quicktime movie to a new iPod and that doesn't work either. I've tried many different approaches but none of these ever work. I'd really appreciate any thoughts or ideas you might have. Thank you!

    You probably will need a 3rd party application to convert the . mov QT file that iPhoto creates into a format for the iPod. Some are VisualHub, ViddyUp, and iSquint. You can find them at VersionTracker.com.

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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 08 libraries 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.

  • How to export a slideshow in iPhoto 9.5 without losing quality

    Hi
    Would appreciate comments from the forum on how to best export a slideshow in iPhoto 9.5 without losing quality. I tried the highest quality option on the export menu but still noticed a signficant degradation in the quality of the slideshow in iPHoto vs the exported file.
    I read some of the posts on earlier versions of iPhoto were the "Custom Export" could be used but understand this functionality has been removed from the latest version (iPhoto 9.5).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    In iPhoto, when you play a slideshow it's showing you the actual photos.
    After export , you're watching a movie made from these images. The process of exporting to a movie necessarily involves compression. Even HD export is still about 2 MP range. If you're shooting 6, 10, 12 or more MP images there is an inevitable loss of data. The enormous stills from your camera are being squeezed down into HDTV quality. It's even worse if you try export for a DVD. TV avoids this by not shooting such high quality images.
    So, what you can try is use another app and one that has different algorithms for this process. Frankly, it'll be a process of trial and error to find the one that works best for your images.
    Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
    iMovie is on every Mac sold. It's worth a try, though it only has the same export options as iPhoto now. Older versions had more.
    Others, in order of price:
    PhotoPresenter  $29
    PhotoToMovie  $49.95
    PulpMotion  $129
    FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
    Final Cut Pro X $299
    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 Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

  • How to Export a slideshow to movie

    I am having great difficulty trying to create a DVD of my slideshow using Roxio Toast 11. It calls for me to export the slideshow to a video format. When I try to export using the iPhoto menu, it does not matter which definition I use, the progress window comes up with a small black screen and the program does absolutely nothing.
    Here is Roxio answer:
    Can you please confirm if you created the slideshow in Iphoto? If that's the case, The iPhoto slideshow must first be exported from iPhoto as a video. This is done by clicking the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto slideshow window. (I'm assuming your slide show was created after clicking New Slideshow in the iPhoto File menu). Choose the Large preset in the Export window to save the slide show as a movie and then add that movie to the Toast Video window to make your DVD.
    Where am I going wrong

    One more query though... I specified widescreen when I created the slide show because I want to show it on a 16:9 ratio LCD but when I exported as a .mov it played on my Cinema display in 4:3. No aspect ratio options offered in the Export window just 3 frame sizes.
    You can export Quicktime slide shows at *any size/aspect ratio* you wish. The trick is *not to use* iPhoto's slide show feature, see my instructions in an older thread.
    In the export dialogue enter your preferred size. If you want your images to fill the screen at a ratio of 16/9 you will need to crop them all accordingly, otherwise you'll get black bars.

  • How to export SMOOTH slideshows ?

    Hi,
    I am running the latest version of Aperture 3.
    When creating slideshow with the "Album" theme, the result is not very smooth. During transition for example, when a picture moves from right to left, it is not smooth - not nice to watch which is basically a shma efor a slideshow !
    I want to get 1920 x 1080 HD video ... But at the moment, it is not satisfactory.
    The preview on screen is also not very smooth, which I can understand because realtime processing.
    I am using an Imac 27 - I7 - 8GB of RAM ...
    Do you have any suggestions ?
    Regards

    Check to ensure that the image sizes you are creating are equal to the pixel dimensions of the largest display that you intend to use.

  • Does anyone know how to export a slideshow to a dvd?

    I am trying to burn a slideshow in iphoto to a dvd and cannot get it to work...if anyone has any advice I would love to hear it please! Thanks!

    Also, do you have iDVD?  I think most versions of iPhoto should link directly to iDVD?
    You could use Audacity (a free multi track audio editor) to create a custom soundtrack.

  • How can I export a slideshow from iPhoto to iMovie 09.  I try but it only lets me import 211 out of the 311 photos I have in the slideshow.

    How can I export a slideshow from iPhoto to iMovie 09.  I try, but it only exports 211 out of the 311 photos I have in the slideshow I made on iPhoto.

    how do i change the format to the right one?
    Before you can decide what to do, you have to know what you are starting with. Sony MPEG-1 files would be converted one way while DivX or WMV files would likely be handled in another. Extraneous tracks can be removed directly with QT Pro but if you don't have QT Pro then there may or may not be other work around possibilities depending on the specific audio and video compression formats in use. The best place to start would normally be to double-clic the source file in iPhoto to open it in the QT Player. When it opens in the QT Player, check the "Inspector" window to see what it says on the "Format:" lines. This will tell you the type of audio and video content you are dealing with here. Then come and tell us so we can offer some specific conversion solutions.

  • How can I export a slideshow from iPhoto 9.5.1 ..........

    How can I export a slideshow from iPhoto 9.5.1 as Quick Time Movie? It exports now as m4v.

    That's a Quicktime movie these days. What format did you want?

    is it possible to export a slideshow in 1080p format and then show it on a projection TV in 1080? if so, how - what conversions are necessary

    Getting it out of Aperture is not a problem. When you export the slide show select 1080p as the export format.
    What happens then gets tricky. To create a true high def 1080p DVD requires Blu-Ray. So you will need an external Blu-Ray recoreder and software to create the DVD.
    If you're hooking your computer up to the TV then you'll have better luck.

  • How to export slideshow without losing resolution?

    I've used Macs for years, but I'm now having my first experiences with iLife. I've found similar questions to this one discussed here, but not exactly this question, I think.
    I have created a slideshow in iPhoto, complete with painstakingly set up Ken Burns effects timed to coincide with transition points in the music that accompanies the slide show.
    I would now like to send the slide show to a friend, in some way so that the friend can view it in very high resolution, just like I can, and maintaining the timing of slides to music.
    How can I do this? Exporting the slideshow as a .mov was a huge disappointment. Iphoto 6 only offers three resolution settings, and even the highest is much too low. Also, the timing got messed up in the .mov -- the slides advance too fast for the music.
    I tried Share->Send to iDVD, to see how that would work, but that failed entirely. I got an error message saying "the export movie file could not be created." Some day I'd like to figure out how to fix that problem, but it's only a high (i.e. pre-Christmas) priority if it's necessary to get my friend the slideshow.
    So what should I do? Will I need to re-make the entire slideshow in another application? That would take me a lot of time, and also I'm concerned about the level of editing control that I'd have in applications other than iPhoto. It looks like that would give me more control over exact duration of each picture, but less control over exactly how the Ken Burns effect pans and zooms over each picture, which is important to me. Maybe I'm wrong about that.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Medhead:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The largest you can get any slideshow will be the size sent to iDVD, 720 x 540. If you create it in iMovie and export as Full Quality that will be the same. If you select Expert Settings you can select the H.264 compression with Best Quality compressions and multipass for best quality.
    The best quality slideshows, IMO, is to create them in iDVD from imported stills. You are restricted to just one transition for the slideshow, no KB effect but can add titles or subtitles to selected slides.
    The slideshows I've created this way and burned play on my plasma HD tv with great sharpness and clarity. Again its my preference to go this route to have the better image quality. Also with this method it's a true slideshow where the viewer can go backward slide by slide with just one click. No rewinding of the movie like with a regular movie file.

  • How can I export a slideshow as Quicktime video in iPhoto 9.5.1?

    I want to export a slideshow I created in iPhoto 9.5.1 as a Quicktime video, but neither File > Export nor the Export button at the bottom give me a Custom Export option. I believe this was an option in older versions of iPhoto. Thanks in advance!

    iPhoto 9.5.1 no longer can export as a QuickTime movie.
    You will have to convert the exported video file to add a QuickTime wrapper. Try to save a QuickTime movie from QuickTime 7. (download here:  QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later.)
