How to use video in a slide show

I've created slideshows in iPhoto and incorperated a mizture of photos and videos.
I've now made one using Aperture but the video does not play - it just shows the first frame. The video will play if I select it alone in the browser.
Any suggestions.?
Thanks.

Thanks Frank, I had watched that some time ago but it was good to be reminded of it.
What I was having problems with was running the slideshow in 'manual' mode ie starting it using the Play slideshow option and then moving on from slide to slide during my talk which has no set time for each slide.
What I discover is that using the keyboard or mouse, in effect, puts the show on pause. Using arrows or mouse moved the show forward but to show video it is necessary to press space to cause it to run and then pause it again - or set slides to a very long display time.
Anyhow, unless there's a neater solution this is workable.

Adding videos to a slide show

I have added a video to my slide show in Elements 7 and when I try to preview the show, Photoshop completely closes. What is going on?

The DVD software that came with my PC is Cyberlink PowerDVD. I cannot use this because I do not have a DVD burner.
Thank you.
You say that you do not have a DVD burner on your PC - so please explain in some detail how you plan to use the DVD player for your TV. For example, does your DVD player for the TV have a slot where you can insert a USB device? What is the make and model of the DVD player machine? Or did you mean that you will use DVD player software with your computer connected to your TV?
Movie Maker - you don't need a DV camera : you can output a WMV file from Movie Maker just as you can from the Photoshop Elements Slide Show Editor. The dilemma seems to be that neither of these programs will produce a video DVD conforming output.
Here are some ideas that I was developing - however, we do need to understand what type of output you have the capability to play in order to determine what will help for your specific situation:
I was thinking that an approach might be to make each section of slide show in PSE Slide Show Editor and separately output each as a separate WMV file. Then use Windows Movie Maker and layout sections of the slide show with your video files in between the slide show sections as you wish. Then you could output a single wmv file from Windows Movie Maker. Another alternative would be to do everything in Windows Movie Maker and not use the PSE slide show editor at all.

Just log into your MobileMe account and go to your iDisk and delete the iWeb site that is there.
You can load your other site there by simply dropping and dragging your files for your new site to the Sites folder on your iDisk. Alternatively, MobileMe uses webdav so you can use Cyberduck to publish too.

Hello,
Flash Player is only supported on Apple OS X systems (10.6 - 10.10). It is not, and has never been, supported on any i-Devices. There are no plans to support these platforms.

My photos are sharp but become soft when used in and IDVD slide show.

My photos are sharp but become soft when used in and IDVD slide show. How can I prevent this from happining??

Hi,
I suggest that you try unchecking both of the crop options - landscape & portrait.
To re-create your situation, I had to check the crop for landscape pictures option.
I prefer to have control over any cropping so I tend to crop each image first before creating the slide show.

Importing video clips into slide shows

I often insert video clips into slide shows. They mix nicely with pan and zoom still photos. However, the type of video clips that can be inserted is very restricted. Why is this?
Elements can deal with a wide variety of video formats but, as far as I can see, only AVI and WMV videos can be imported into slide shows. Compact digital cameras typically use AVI, MOV and MP4 formats. My camera produces MPG videos, which I cannot import. I have to convert the clips into AVI format and reimport these into Organiser etc - which is very fiddly. I am considering buying a new camera that produces AVI video clips as standard.
Why is the choice of video formats so limited? I cannot find a list of allowable formats on the Adobe site.

Hi David
Thanks for this. I tried that, but again, Streamclip only imported content from the first clip, ignoring the rest...on further inspection, all the VOB files were sub-divisions of the the first item (in essence, the system had chopped up the first recording into sections and formatted them as VOB files, but failed to do that for the remaining content of the DVD).
I booked an appt with a Mac Genius today and he downloaded Handbrake and this appears to be the way forward - you can isolate any of the content from the DVD, and save into either avi or mp4 files. I currently don't need Streamclip, since after my selection's been saved unto the desktop it can be dragged into iMovie and edited from there. I'll be keeping Steamclip though...after all of the aggro, it seems to good to be true!
Thanks again for responding to my query. Really appreciated that you took the time.

How can I make an iPad slide show from files on my iMac

I am a graphic designer who wants to use my iPad as a portfolio.
1.) Must I create the slide show on the internet?
2.) Is there a way to transfer the files to the iPad and use an iPad portfolio slide show.
The basic problem is getting the images from the iMac to the iPad. I can take it from there.
Can I use same technique with my iPhone?
I want to be able to pull out the iPad or iPhone and let prospective clients see what I do well.

Using downloaded songs for slide show background music

Maybe I am naive, but I just joined iTunes and downloaded some music to use as background for slide shows of family pics. I am using Microsoft Plus! to put the slide shows together. The iTunes songs downloaded in MPEG-4 and the Plus! code will only recognize MP3. I am also concerned that the copyright protection will make the songs not useable for the slide show compilations. Any ideas? Thanks!

In iTUnes you can burn the song to CD then reimport it as a MP3. Goto edit>preferences>advanced tab>Import sub tab, and set it from "AAC" to "MP3" then hit OK
Now burn the songs to CD in itunes. Put the CD back in and hit the "Import" button in the top right corner of itunes

Hi,
Do you mean Window Live Messenger or it's Mac equivalent MSN for Mac ?
Actually the app comes with Office
In the Microsoft Office X (2001 version) it was still called MSN Messenger
In Office 2008 it was called Microsoft Messenger.
The current one that can also be downloaded as a standalone app also comes with Office 2011 is also called Microsoft Messenger.
This is version 8 and this version is the only one that can Video Chat as a standalone app.
Version 7 required you were in a mixed environment (with PCs) connected to the correct sort of Windows Server.

I am using IDVD to make slide shows. The pictures are clear and of good quality. When I burn the slide show to a disk, the pictures are blurry and of poor quality. Is there a setting for quality of picture in burning a disk?

I am using IDVD to make slide shows. The pictures are clear and of high quality when viewed on my computer. When I burn the slide show to a disk, the pictures are blury and of poor quality. Is there a setting adjustment to correct this problem?

I would re-post in the iDVD forum. You are likely to get a faster answer there. Good luck.

Thank you.

The Mac software - iPhoto, iMovie, and iDVD are not the best with the Ken Burns effect (zoom in/out effect), so you might want to minimize that effect; also, if your subjects are wearing stripes for instance, that will have an effect if you zoom. There is better software available for slideshows; however, I do not know of any that is free (and does a good job). I've used Photo to Movie for some time; it does a fine job even in HD, but you have to pay for it. I use iDVD extensively, but only to add a menu, theme, special effects, etc. and then to burn it.

How do you increase the size of a video clip in slide show?

Using Elements 7. Video clips can be run in full screen when from the Organizer, but when playing the slide show, they only display about 1/3 the size of the screen with a large black border around them.

Thought I'd try this just in case they are stripping out attachments.

The American Creed by William Tyler Paige

How can I trigger a lightbox slide show with a single image using Dreamweaver?

I'm trying to build a page for a cosmetics company in which clicking on a color swatch opens a lightbox-style slide show of model shots using that color makeup. Each swatch should trigger a different slideshow. I'm using Dreamweaver (CS6), and I'm sure there must be an easy way to do this, but I haven't figured it out yet. (It would be a snap in Flash, but alas, the site needs to work on a broad range of devices).
I'd appreciate any ideas, and please make your instuction easy to follow if possible—pretend you're talking to a dog, or an eighty-six-year-old—because I may not be as experienced as I ought to be. Probably not.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
best,
wendy

Converting m2ts videos for iPhoto slide show.

My brother used a new camera during a recent trip we took together. He has some great videos, but they are m2ts format and I use iPhoto to produce my slide shows. (I burn the slide show using iDVD). How do I convert his videos so that I can use them? My computer is not able to open them at this point.

One for the iMovie forum, I think.

How to mimic a two-projector slide-show presentation?

This may not be the best place to post this question. Please let me know if there is an alternative forum.
I want to present a few hundred 1920 x 1080 visual "segments" (S1, S2 ...) that cross-fade into each other at the press of a button. No audio is involved except the presenter's voice. A presentation might run like this:
S1 - Still. (Press button to dissolve to next segment)
S2 - Still with preset zoom-in. (Press button to dissolve to next segment, even if zoom not finished)
S3 - Still with pan. (Press button to dissolve to next segment, even if pan not finished)
S4 - Short video. (Press button…)
S5 - Still. (Press button…)
The collection of segments would be generated by Premiere (or other program). However, I would prefer NOT to use a computer for the presentation, but rather, a BluRay player connected to a digital projector via a HDMI cable. The data does not have to be in BluRay format. It may, for example, be any type of file readable by the player, and stored on a CD, DVD, USB stick, or SDHX card. The idea is to insert the media with the relevant file on it (or files), press PLAY, and use one of the remote control buttons to move forward to the next segment.
In case you haven't got my drift: it's similar to an old fashioned two-projector slide-show presentation, but fully digital and some of the images move.
Very simple concept, but how can I achieve the desired result? Almost all image-editing programs could assemble the segments (even iPhoto, for example), but how do I achieve the smooth cross-fading and the move-to-next-segment functions? If I was writing a flowchart for what I want, it would be:
1. Complete the segment currently showing, then freeze image and wait for press of NEXT SEGMENT button.
2. If NEXT SEGMENT button is pressed before the end of segment, cross-fade to next segment.
3. Loop to 1.
Any suggestions most appreciated.

I would look into ProShow Producer. It is designed to do much of what you want.
Encore has a limited SlideShow feature, that does allow for manual advance, but the other aspects, like the Zoom will probably not be what you want. You might give it a try, just to test. One limitation is that one can only have 99 slides per SlideShow, but then can have 99 SlideShows, IIRC.
Good luck,
Hunt
