IDVD 6 quits when previewing slide show

As soon as I add music to the slide show portion, the program suddenly quits! Help... what do I do?

Make sure you don't have any songs purchase from iTunes store with the .mp4 tag on them, they will not export to iDVD (at least they did not in v. 5,) you can always burn them to a disk and re-import them as .mp3 files. This helped me in iDVD5 and may help you as well. Good Luck

IDVD 08 crashes when previewing slide show imported from iPhoto

I've created a slideshow in iPhoto 08 and transferred it to iDVD 08 using the share menu. It appears in iDVD as a movie and I can add it to an iDVD project in the normal way. Everything appears fine but when I try to preview the slideshow in iDVD, iDVD crashes. The slideshow is stored as a Quicktime movie and I can play it using Quicktime.

I'm having the exact same problem. From iPhoto under Share I select Send to iDVD. In iDVD the slideshow appears, but when I click on it iDVD crashes.
I've also tried exporting from iPhoto which creates a Quicktime .mov file. That file then appears as a movie in iDVD under the media tab. But again, when I drag it into my movie and try to play it iDVD crashes.
Other movies imported into this same project from iMovie play just fine, so I was also looking for a way to import the slideshow's Quicktime file into iMovie in hopes of exporting it from iMovie to iDVD in a different format, but the file is not selectable in iMovie, which I also found puzzling.
I did this all the time in the old iDVD and really hope to get this working again.....
Please help!
thanks

IDVD quits when previewing Project

iDVD quits when trying to preview the Project when using uncompressed movie which was exported with uncompressed Quicktime 4:2:2 8 bit from Final Cut Express 4.
When I use quicktime to play the exported movie it works fine. I soon as I put this exported movie into the iDVD project and select play to test the Project, iDVD just quits. If I go back to Final Cut Express and export the project again this time just using default Quicktime move export and update the iDVD project to this movie it works when testing DVD in iDVD. iDVD does not appear to like the uncompressed movie.
Any suggestions on what needs to be done in order to use uncompressed movie with iDVD? The project I have is only 44 minutes long. The reason I wanted to use uncompressed was that I have graphic elements (ie fancy title etc from LiveType) that I want to preserve the quality.

how much available Hard Drive space is currently on the boot volume (your main HD)?
If it's over 25 GB's, did you export your QT movie like this (w/chapter markers only)?

Keynote to iDVD: loss of audio in slide show

I have made a slide show on Keynote with music from iTunes. I export it to iDVD and it works fine from the computer while in iDVD. When I burn the disc, the music from the Keynote slideshow is missing although musc that I have added to menus does play. I want to use the Keynote slideshow and not transfer it to iMovie then iDVD because of loss of quality. I do not want to use the slideshow from iDVD because Keynote provides more opprtunities for effects in the slide show as well as clearer text. I think the problem has something to do with the fact that when I export, on my desktop is a copy of the slideshow AND a copy of the soundtrack.mov. How can I get them together? THANKS!!!

Thanks for the help but I faced the same problem as others with iMovie. Also I am trying to avoid the use of iMovie because the final product, a QT from iMovie, is not as clear visually as an import from Keynote - graphics are a lot muddier. I would have to agree that, as much as I LOVE Keynote, the inability to simply export a slide show with audio intact certainly is a problem with Keynote.
Also disappointed,
Jim

Pse 7 organizer crashes when outputting slide show

PSE 7 closes down with the message that organizer has encountered a problem when I try to output a slide show in any form - create wmv, send to Premier Elements, write cd/dvd - a part of the file is actually output since I am able to go in and find it - once about 180 mb once about 60 mb. I have gone through the process adobe reccommends of deleting pref files, uninstalling cd/dvd drives, changing registry, uninstall, reinstall etc. all to no avail. I am able to do a slide show in Elements 6 and output that to Premier Elements. Is there a way to open the PSE 7 slide show in PSE 6? I really don't want to have to go back and recreate the slide show if I don't have too.
I should add that I sat and watched taskmanager while the process of exporting was being attempted and it doesn't appear that the problem is a computer related memory problem. I also read the information created when the incident occured in the elements log (I couldn't understand enough of what I was reading to find where things went wrong)
Any help would be great.

I am running Vista 32 bit with 4MEG or memory and an additional 4 MEG of flash. Is there a update or download I can use to eliminate this problem in Organizer? I wouuld appreciate any assistance.

Preview slide show-but not full screen?

Seems to me I recall seeing an option to NOT preview the slideshow full screen. But can't find it now. I would like to view the slide show while keeping Pages on screen so I can take notes. Is there any way to do that?
Thanks.

I had gathered that, so am I to assume that the answer to my original question is no; ''"Is there still a way to maximise the screen without it going into full screen mode?"''

IDVD Slideshow no audio / wrong slide show

Greeting, I have significant trouble with a iDVD project I have been working on. The main problem involves the slide shows. Don't be mistaken this is a large iDVD project, not much video input but 10 ish menus and 4 slide shows. I have experienced several problems with the slide shows. Previously one of the slide shows was duplicated in place of another slide show on a different menu. I was able to correct this by changing the order of some of the photos and re encoding the DVD. Currently Two of the slide shows have lost their audio content and several of the slides. I know that the missing audio on one of the slide shows is not caused by the format of the audio file as it is used on all but one of the menus.
I am going to try to re encode it yet again (probably the 6 or 7th time, iDVD tends to crash silently every third time) to see if it will encode correctly this time.
Any other suggestions about this?
Thanks!

However for one of the slide shows I did select the photos from iPhoto originally.
I wonder if that is affecting the performance...?
Here's an example of one of my slideshow projects that works fine. No iPhoto:
Ireland 2006
iDVD 6 Pass Through widescreen theme
696 images that are 2816x1584 pixels shot with Canon SD700 IS
15 640x480 movies from same digital camera transcoded to H.264 with QuickTime Pro.
Part 1 and Part 2 submenu buttons on main menu. All submenus are the Chapters option for this theme.
Part 1 leads to a submenu. That submenu has additional submenus and sub-submenus. Part 1 leads to 12 total submenus. These menus contain images and movies.
Part 2 leads to a submenu. That submenu has 5 submenus with only images.
I had to "remove" animation on all the sub-submenus and not include any music to get everything on a single-layer DVD-R. The Menu info was WAY over the 7:30; something like 14:00 after these adjustments. About 20 slideshows with music. Additional short slideshows with no music.
Started the rendering/encoding process at exactly 1:00:00 p.m.
Finished the Menu video rendering/encoding process at 3:53:30.
Finished the slides and transitions process at 5:37:30.
Process movies start 5:37:30, finished 6:27:45.
Burn process start 6:27:45.
Retrieving ends 6:28:30
Writing lead-in starts 6:28:30. Finished 6:31:55.
Writing... finished 6:33:50.

OSstatus error -9459 when exporting slide show in Aperture 3.0

PowerPoint Shuts Down When View Slide Show

I am using Office 2004 and when I try to View Slide Show, the program shuts down. It just started doing this. Have had it 2-1/2 years. I used Disk Repair. I Removed Office and Reinstalled. And, it still is doing that. Any suggestions?

Office I believe has a repair tool somewhere hidden in one of the folders.
On another note, have you ever tried iWork's Keynote? You can do more stunning presentations and working with media is much easier than PowerPoint. Also, you can export to PowerPoint if you need to. But some advanced features PowerPoint won't be able to support.
I've kicked my MS habit and no longer use Office, even though I have Office 2008. I'm all iWork now.

Portrait pics wrong orientation when creating slide show

Running Premiere Elements 8 and loading a slide show for Photoshop Elements 8. Everything is fine but got to some of my "portrait" pics and they are rotated in the wrong direction and stretched. The puzzling thing is that all the pics came from same camera (Canon Rebel XTI) and some are OK, others are not. Any help would be greatly appreciated, or a solution to correct this. Thanks.

Correction?
Hunt
From your screenshot of the Premiere Elements 4.0 Properties Palette/Motion Panel and the Motion Panel's properties which include Rotate, I believe that you and SG are talking about the same thing but
(a) you are letting your “fixed” in “fixed Effect>Motion>Rotation (from the Edit Effects)” obscure what you are saying
and
(b) SG, is limiting his vision to right clicking the video, selecting Show Properties, and set Rotation to 90 (where in reality you get the options of Rotate Left or Rotate Right or dial in a rotation depending on which direction the rotation needs to go in.).
I actually have Premiere Elements 4.0, 7.0, and 8.0.1 installed on my computer and use them one at a time all the time, so here is my take on the matter.
For Timeline content rotation you need to get to the Properties Palette/Motion Panel and the Rotation property in the Motion Panel. PERIOD. You can adjust the Rotation by clicking the Rotate Left or Rotate Right buttons there OR dial in the rotation with your mouse cursor to the right of that area.
THE PROPERTIES PALETTE FOR PREMIERE ELEMENTS 4.0, 7.0, AND 8.0/8.0.1 ARE EXACTLY THE SAME IN THIS REGARD.
Getting to the Premiere Elements Properties Panel
Premiere Elements 4.0
a. right clicking the video and selecting Show Properties
or
b. Window Menu/Properties
Premiere Elements 7.0 and 8.0/8.0.1
a. right clicking the video and selecting Show Properties
or
b. Window Menu/Properties
or
c. Highlighting the video on the Timeline and then clicking on the Properties Icon just above the Timeline
Although the Edit Effects option after you apply an Effect will take you to the Properties Panel, I do not see where it is really needed under the circumstances and in light of the other avenues.
But when all that Band-Aid talk is put out the way, the fundamental issue is the rotation of video on transfer of the Photoshop Elements slideshow to Premiere Elements, using the Photoshop Elements Edit With Premiere Elements Command. That and black video are frequent “unexpected” slideshow transfer issues when one uses oversized photos in one of these projects destined for DVD-VIDEO. Resizing of the photos to pixel dimensions not to exceed 1000 x 750 pixels and checking out your computer resources should be priority business. Remember Premiere Elements is a 32 bit application running in the 32 bit compatibility mode of a 64 bit system and as such has the limitations of 32 bit. It is not a 64 bit application that can take full advantage of that 64 bit installed RAM. A 32 bit system supports max 4 GB installed RAM of which about 3 GB RAM or less are available. How much available RAM does your computer have when you are running Photoshop Elements Premiere Elements?

Poor photo quality when importing slide show into Elements 10

Hello,
I'm using Elements and Photoshop Elements 10 on Vista.
What I'm trying to do is import a slide show I made in Photoshop in to a movie I'm making so that the slide show appears as a menu item and I don't have to include a separate disk for the pictures. I've sucessfully imported it, added the menu marker and the disc works, but the photo quality is really crappy. When I play the slide show on its own, the pictures are fine. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum.
They work on several levels:
A subscriber comes with a problem/question, and then, hopefully, someone will have an answer
A subscriber comes with a problem/question in mind, and then finds other threads, very similar, and hopefully gets the answer
A subscriber comes to read, to pick up ideas, etc.
In your case, it appears that # 2 worked, just as it should.
As for your question, PrE can produce SlideShows for display from DVD-Video, as good as it gets. Where commercial DVD-Videos enter a different realm, is with Video footage, with motion. There, Hollywood uses special Transcoding software, that allows for many, many more passes to identify the areas of motion, to Transcode at just the right Bit-Rate, for best results. PrE does that with but two passes, unlike the US $ 500,000 programs, staffed by highly-trained experts, who do nothing but Transcoding, all day long. PrE is limited in that respect, but with SlideShows, it will be able to apply the highest Bit-Rate (the DVD-specs. are strict here, so, though higher Bit-Rate = higher quality, DVD-Video can ONLY go so far.) Also, Hollywood uses DVD-9's (DL) so that more Duration can be authored to disc, at the highest-allowed Bit-Rate, for each segment of the Video. With a SlideShow, the Bit-Rate will be as high as the DVD-specs. allow, and per the Duration of the SlideShow vs the capacity of the disc.
Now, there are some other considerations, such as the limited Color Gamut (and Gamma) of DVD-Video vs display on a calibrated computer monitor, or a calibrated Broadcast monitor. One needs to study that limited and different Color Gamut, and perhaps adjust the colors first, in Photoshop. PrE is not designed for Broadcast output, so lacks many of the Tools, that PrPro has. Also, very few PrE users have a calibrated Broadcast monitor hooked up for Color Grading. Last, even if one has produced the ultimate output, with full understanding of the Color Gamut, and used a perfectly calibrated Broadcast monitor, there is no telling what the calibration of the client's monitor (computer, or TV) will be. What is perfect on a calibrated Broadcast monitor might look great on the client's setup, or perhaps not. A Broadcast Engineer can only adjust to standards, and hope for the best, when the disc hits the public. Same for Audio. Who knows what "Aunt Marge" has to play back the DVD-Video?
For ultimate results, I would create a Timeline with a few Still Images, but with each adjusted in slightly different ways in Photoshop. Add a Title, like a Lower-Third, with the Color and Gamma settings over each version, maybe 5 variations, that are slightly different. PS allows one to adjust Colors and Gamma in many ways, so explore. Then, author that Timeline to DVD-Video, using high-quality media, and test on their DVD player/TV setup. See which version looks best, and note the specifics from that Title. Use that to process the actual Still Images for the DVD SlideShow.
Also remember, if one has set things up ideally, they will have calibrated their system and Photoshop. As Photoshop is a Color Managed Workspace, things will be, as good as it gets. DVD-Video, and TV's are NOT Color Managed Workspaces, and most consumer TV's are out of general calibration, having just the generic setting from the factory. Nothing can be done about that.
As mentioned above, if the playback is for a computer (not a DVD player and TV), then better Color and Gamma might be achieved by doing an AV file, and then burning that to a DVD-Data disc, for delivery. However, one still has the variables of the client's computer, its monitor and even the software player used. All play a big role in how that AV file will play for them.
Good luck, and I wish there was an "iron-clad" answer, as to how to achieve the ultimate results, but there are so very many variables involved.

MacBook Air11' Crashed when click slide show of office 2011

Etting a white screen when viewing slide show using internet explorer

When I or my clients view a slide show I created in Lightroom 1.4 using Internet Explorer we often get a white screen instead of the slide show. When we view the same using Firefox it works perfectly. I have downloaded Adobe flash reader and it doesn't help. I am including a link to my site if anyone would like to check it out. http://www.ajs-photography.com/ViewWedding.html . Is there a setting in Lightroom that I'm missing or something wrong with the way IE is configured. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Allen

Hi:
I had the same issue with white full screen but no more thanks to the talented person that post the help.
Go on this page to "cannot view full screen flash videos" and follow the instructions or go on the video to watch and do right click, go to setting and uncheck the enable hardware acceleration, close, go the video to watch run it and click on full screen, enjoy

PSE 9 - Crashes when starting Slide Show

I am using PSE 9 running on a Windows XP computer with adequate hard disk and RAM resources. I have adjusted the PSE "Preferences" to ensure that there is sufficient RAM available for PSE. Every time I attempt to start the Slide Show feature from the Organizer, I get a Window's error box that says "Sorry PSE has encountered an error" and after selecting whether or not to send the error report the program closes. Does anyone have an idea of what I might try to resolve this problem?
Thanks...

I know this post doesn't really help you guys, but I'm also using PSE9 on a Win7 Intel Quad Core Dell computer and the spot healing brush works fine. I only offer this post to indicate that it apparently is not a universal bug in PSE9. Perhaps an Adobe expert can jump in here and help. I can only offer that in Preferences I do have the RAM dialed up to 80%, but I don't think this is related to your problem.
