I am trying to create a slide show but QT Pro won't open now

I am trying to create a slide show (Time Lapse Movie) from thousands of photographs and was told to buy QT Pro. After downloading QT 7 and QT Pro yesterday, the program would not operate correctly, although I was able to work with it somewhat. Today it started out Ok but then back to same as yesterday (will not open). Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality 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.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago. 
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them. 
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
NOTE:  If you're running iPhoto 9.5 the export options will be different.

    or
    b. Solely Premiere Elements workspace
    If Premiere Elements workspace, then we need details of the project preset that you or the program is setting. Is this an all photos or a photos and video presentation. If photos and videos, please give
    a. photos, how many and pixel dimensions of each
    b. video, format and duration
    What is this slideshow end product going to be
    a. DVD-VIDEO standard or widescreen on DVD disc
    b. AVCHD format on DVD disc
    c. Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc
    Many of these questions have already been asked, but I include them here to keep my focus on what needs to be learned about the issue.
    If you need help in answering, please do not hesitate to ask.

  • I am using Iphoto 6 to create a slide show but my music stops when it supposed to loop?

    I am using Iphoto 6 to create a slide show but my music stops when it supposed to loop?

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

    Hold down the option key while starting iTunes and make an new library.  Will it open then? If so, you have a bad library.  With the new library import the library.xml version of the file in your iTunes folder.  This will make it 90% like before (some metadata are not identical, but I don't know which ones).

  • Created a slide show in Premiere Pro and the picture quality changed.

    I worked on a group of pictures in Adobe photo shop and in Adobe Premiere Pro created a slide show with music.
    When I play the video the resolution is poor but when I stop playing the pictures become crystal clear again! Help!

    As shooternz stated, there is a Wrench Icon next to the Program Monitor.
    Click on it, go to Playback Resolution and make sure it is set to "Full"

  • Creating a Slide show in Quicktime Pro

    Hi all,
    I have over 400 hundred images that I need to run into Quicktime for a slide show presentation. I tried IDVD and it just hangs up when I try to burn the disc.
    Now I'm trying Quicktime Pro. I created a folder with the 400+ images named in sequence 1,2,3....
    Choose File-Open Image Sequence and selected the first image.
    Then Saved file as a Quicktime movie. It brought in the one selected picture. Now, how do I get the rest of the images into the movie without having to click and drag everyone of them? Is there a any kind of automation to bring the rest in. Maybe I missed something. I'm working on a Mac G4 Laptop, Tiger and just purchased Quicktime Pro thinking it would do the job. IMovie is not an option because the images come in too pixelated.
    Thanks for any help on a quick way of doing this.
    Cheryl
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

    Problem solved. It seems that there is, indeed, a rather strict file naming convention. My original filenames began 1,2,3, etc...but with more information behind that which was seperated by an underscore. I took all of that out and renamed the files using only single digit filenames in sequence and that seemed to work and I also took out the extention--I don't know if that matters or not; but it works now. I'm on my way to the IDVD forum because this might be the reason I couldn't burn an IDVD as well. You wouldnt happen to know if IDVD has similar querks? BTW I'm using a Mac G4 Laptop OS 10.4.6
    I'd say my Quicktime problem is solved at any rate.
    Thanks so much for your help!

  • I created a slide show using my photos on iphoto can I burn this to a dvd with the music in the backgroun

    I created a slide show using photos from iphoto and I was able to put it to music to view it on my mac. I am trying to figure out a way to download it or burn it to a DVD with the music in order that it can be given as a gift. Also is there a way to use multiple songs for the slideshow.
    thanks much

    First if you slideshow requires more than one audio track go to iTunes and create a new playlist with the music you want.  You can take the total time of the playlist and divide by the number of slides to get the approximate playing time for each slide. 
    In iDVD go into the slideshow window and then click on the Audio button at the right.  Locate the playlist and drag it into the music bin at the bottom of the window.
    Click to view full size
    Be sure that non of the audio tracks are DRM protected tracks from the iTunes store.  You won't be able to use them if they are.  And remember this is only for slideshows created by iDVD from still photos imported from iPhoto.

  • PSE 8, No audio when creating a slide show

    I am unable to create a slide show with audio.  All other functions in the slide show function properly but unable to get the audio portion to play.  Receive error message "Unable to add audio file, the selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (CODEC) installed."  Checked and all the Vista CODEC's are  installed & functioning properly.  Checked and downloaded the latest CODEC from Realtek for the audio board.  No audio recognized within Organizer or from file folders.  Went to Adobe Tech. and got brushed off.  Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    1.  I have Windows Media Player 11.  It plays my music files which are mostly .MP3  I am unable to locate the Adobe music files using Windows Explorer.  May be an indication that they didn't load when the program was installed.  I have uninstalled and re-installed PSE 8. from my disc's.
    2.  I Tunes is my primary player.
    3.  OS is Vista Home premium
    After running around in circles for several days I have tried the following:
    1.  I opened PRE8 and created a slide show and imported audio file from my music folder.  Played OK.  Slide show performed OK.  I did not locate the included music folder with program.
    <edited>
    3.  In PSE8 I searched with Windows Explorer and could not locate any audio music files.  The error message I receive is:
         "Unable to add the audio file (C:\Program Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\6.0\usic\A_Taste_Of_Sicily.mp3)  The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (codec) installed."
    Note that it is searching in PSE6 for the file.  I missed that before.  I long ago uninstalled PSE6 and PSE 7 was installed in its place and since PSE8.
    Now I am suspicious that the music files never loaded with the install of PSE8 and it is searching for music files that no longer exist.  Not sure what is corrupted and not sure what else to try.  I think I will reload PSE7 and see if I can locate the included audio files and attempt to load a slide show with PSE7.

    Please, I need to know how to create a slide show.

    Hi Tyler,
    in addition to martcol's hint: You could have a look to "Adobe Widget Browser", for example: "html5 Video Player Widget" or "jQuery Cycle" or "Lightbox Gallery Widget" aso.
    On the other hand there are really so many nice options and "gimmicks", like these ready-made solutions. Later, when you see the mode of operation and how they work you could use a DW-flash-show, ok?
    Just look around in and on these pages and don't get confused by the large range, look at the different sides in peace, it is worthwhile.

    I am trying to connect my Macbook pro 2010 to my Samsung HDTV using a mini display port to hdtv cable. Trying to play a slide show in IPhoto but I only get sound with no picture. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I keep saying this over and over, in the hope that people who do a search will find it.  Apple cannot possibly test for or be reponsible for the bazillion combinations of adapter, cables, and TV's out there.  The only monitors that are 100% guaranteed to work with the MacBook Pro are the Cinema Displays and Thunderbolt Displays, because, they're made by Apple.  They're expensive, but they work perfectly.
    My guess is that you bought a cheap MDP to HDMI cable, or have a defective one.  From my reading of these boards over the past few months, cheap cables have a high failure rate.  And the regular priced ones have only a slightly less of one.  Try a new one.  Make sure you do not damage the Thunderbolt port.

  • How can I create a slide show and insert it into an email

    I created a slide show of some pictures I want to share with my sales associate but can't seem to figure out how to Email it.  any help would be appreciated!  Thank you!

    You will need to export it as a  QuickTime movie and share that.
    That said, movies are big files and many recipients will be less than delighted to get large attachments that can cause them problems in their mailboxes. Better to upload the movie somewhere and then email them a link. Dropbox is an excellent way to do this.]
