IMovie '08 Capable of exporting HD slideshows?  (I think so...)

I've tested the "Export using Quicktime" option with a project that contained only a few photos to see if I can export the slideshow as a HD movie.
I used H.264 and set the size to HD 1920 x 1080.
It seems to have worked just fine. I cannot see any loss in quality.
Has anyone else tried this?

Don't waste your time (and hard disk space) in creating a 1080 (1920x1080) video for use in iDVD. DVDs created by iDVD are standard definition devices. For NTSC DVDs all you need is 854x480 pixels for 16:9 content.

  • 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.

  • IMovie for IOS Cannot export 60p despite iPhone 6 capability to shoot 60p

    Hi,
    iMovie for IOS Cannot export 60p despite iPhone 6 capability to shoot 60p
    I am obliged to use Pinnacle Studio for IOS 8
    I have bought a superb iPhone 6 Plus, shooting in 1080/60p, I cannot edit my clips to build a 60p Master.
    I understand the choice for shared video streams to use 720/30p 5Kb/s from my 1080/60p 25Kbps clips as it has to be streamed even on small PC.
    But if I want a master file 1080/60p at 25Kbps, and send it by mail with the superb new Cloud Mail to my mac mates, I cannot do it
    I need a master hacker to poke this 60 number I nee somewhere into iMovie, it should be somewhere in the compressor frameworks used by iMovie in the app Package for exporting.
    SAME PROBLEM WITH I MOVIE 10.0.6 FOR OSX YOSEMITE,
    Best regards to the community

    I appreciate you taking the time to copy and paste boilerplate responses to increase your points in this forum, but I've already read all those support articles in depth; but you have barely read my post at all. Please don't guess a fix. Only someone with the latest versions of iMovie, iOS, iPhone, Yosemite, and MacBook Pro is qualified to troubleshoot this, because anyone would immediately see that the following option no longer exists:
    Open iMovie on your Mac, and choose File > Import > iMovie for iOS Project.
    Read my post before you reply: It clearly says in the title and within my post that I can neither export nor import through iTunes without receiving an error message. So your response neither solved my question nor helped me whatsoever.

  • Exporting a slideshow made with iDVD into iMovie

    Is it possible to export a slideshow that was created using iDVD into iMovie 08 so it can be modified?
    Thank you.

    Think of the i-Apps (or more specifically iMovie and iDvd) as a candy bar. Essentially, iDvd is to iMovie what the candy wrapper is to a candy bar. It's simply the exterior packaging of the movie you made in iMovie (or whatever video app you choose to edit in).
    Hence iDvd was not designed to edit video content. We normally reserve this task of editing for the video app/s like iMovie, FCE, or FCP. Therefore, it's much easier (and sequential) to go from the other i-apps to iDvd than it is the other way around.
    In a word, No.
    We don't export slideshows from iDvd to iMovie.... At least not normally.
    But we do share/export QT content/movies from iMovie, iPhoto, GB, FCE, FCP, QT Pro, etc. to iDvd.

  • 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.

  • Exporting Large Slideshow Help!!

    I'm having a bit of trouble exporting a slideshow of 515 pictures. I'm aware that is a lot of photos but I can't find ay specifics as far as the limitations of the software goes. I've searched the web high and low and could not find anything that states a limit of how many photos I can have in a slideshow. I'm using the scrapbook theme without music, and attempted to export it at a high resolution. The exporting process took a looooong time as I knew it would, however 3/4 of the way through, the export bar stopped moving completely and the preview for the slideshow stopped as well. I attempted a second time after waiting a few hours to export it, and it again failed to complete. Here's my thing, I'm trying to get this slideshow, bring it into to iMovie so I can add music (because iPhoto won't let me choose specific parts of the songs I want to play) and then bring it into iDVD to burn and watch it on a widescreen or standard TV. Have I surpassed the limitations of the software?? What would be my best option to accomplish this??

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you plan on taking the slideshow into iDVD to burn to disc then exporting at HD is a waste of time and effort. iDVD reduces all content to:
    720 x 540 pixels for standard video in NTSC format
    854 x 480 pixels for widescreen in NTSC format 640 x480
    Thus crop the photos to the size you want and try again as standard or widescreen.
    It's been my experience that creating the slideshow in iDVD gives me the best onscreen image resolution.
    The downside to this method is that you can't have the Ken Burns effect (not problem for me as I don't use it), can have only one transition per slideshow and no unique themes.
    The upside is that the music plays as it should whereas iPhoto has problems with too much dead air between tracks and early termination at the end of the music.
    You might consider creating the slideshow in iMovie or a 3rd party application like Photo to Movie or PhotoMagico. PhotoPresenter is another 3rd party slide show application and offers over 25 animated themes, some of which are shown on this demo page: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes. It has the Ken Burns effect but it is applied to all photos the same way with no user control.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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 or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • Exporting a Slideshow with Titles

    Hi, Does anyone know if it is possible to export a slideshow from iMovie including the picture titles, but with the titles appearing as Subtitles on the DVD so that you could turn them on or off?? Seems like a simple thing but i have a feeling it can't be done.
    As ever any suggestions gratefully received.
    Powerbook G4 1.5Ghz, 1Gb Ram, Superdrive   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    I've never heard of that working; but I don't use iMovie for slideshows.
    DVD Studio Pro allows you to add subtitles. Kind of expensive these days since it bacame part of Final Cut Studio...

  • Slideshow dissapeared after export, now slideshows don't work at all.

    I made a slideshow with many pictures a very few video clips. (All video clips but one were created/edited in iMovie then exported).
    I exported the slideshow and imported that export into iMovie to adjust music, etc.
    Everything exported perfectly and imported to iMovie perfectly. However, once in iMovie I noticed that one of the video clips in the slideshow didn't export properly.. only the sound worked, but the scene remained blank. This video was the only video that came straight off my camera, trimmed with quicktime, then put into the slideshow instead of going through iMovie. So, I put it through iMovie like the other video clips then added it to the slideshow. I opened the slideshow, and the only thing inside was the video I JUST added. Everything else (all 300 pics and 4 vids) were gone from the slideshow. They were in the right order and everything was perfect!! NOW, I'm trying to start over and it wouldn't let me move a video clip into the slideshow, and NOW it won't even let me move pictures into the slideshow!!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PROGRAM!?? AND, is there any chance iphoto happened to have saved my slideshow somewhere where I can restore it? I read somewhere to hold the option/command key? while the program starts to restore, but I don't know what those optinos mean... will i lose stuff if i use those options?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    is there any chance iphoto happened to have saved my slideshow somewhere where I can restore it?
    Are you referring to the slideshow you exported or the slideshow within iPhoto? The one in iPhoto is kept in the library's database. You can try rebuilding the library as follows: backup and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the last three options.
    Click to view full size
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key and selecting the *+Choose Library+* button.
    Are you trying to continue with the original slideshow in iPhoto? I'd trash it and start over with a fresh one. The old one could be damaged. Rebuilding the library might fix it but if it doesn't then it's best to start over with a new one.
    Any reason you didn't create the slideshow in iMovie. By doing it in iPhoto and exporting to Quicktime and then importing into iMovie for more editing causes additional encoding of the slideshow and can degrade the image quality.
    Are you up to date with all of the software and system? How much free space do you have on your boot drive. How big is your library, i.e. number of photos?

  • Export QT slideshow and only the first song plays.

    I did not have this problem with the previous version. All songs are from a playlist and are not purchased on iTunes. The slide show plays fine in iPhoto and then when exported only the first song plays in the QT version and after it silence. Can anyone help with this?

    Hi Dave,
    This seems to be a new bug introduced after one of the updates.
    Only one song exporting with Slideshows
    Right now, this seems to be a know problem/bug. There have been some work-arounds. Don't know if the problem is with iPhoto, Quicktime or a combo of both.
    -From Bob Worthington: re-ripping the cuts I wanted as background music for the DVD as a single cut in iTunes. I then made a playlist containing the one extended cut of music.
    -Old Toad: share to Quicktime from iPhoto and then import the resulting movie into iMovie you can extract and delete the audio from the video and add the two songs to the video and save.
    Quicktime Pro-open the movie and bring up the Movie Properties menu window. In the top window select the audio track and delete it.
    If you want more than one song you'll have to join them together with iMovie or some other application. Then open that joined file with QT Player. Then do a select all and copy. Now go to the QT window of the movie and select the Edit->Add to Movie menu option. You don't want to scale it because it will change the play speed of the audio unless it's time is exactly the same as the movie.
    You could go the other way, open the movie, select all and copy, and then past with scaling to the audio. That will change the speed of the movie and transitions to fit the audio track. In this case the resulting video file will have the name of the audio track file that you started with.
    You may have to play with it a bit to get exactly what you want. Be sure to work with copies of all the media files for the project.
    -Peter Burtwistle: I opened the Qt movie that iPhoto makes when you export to iDVD and removed the sound track.
    Then made a new soundtrack by opening all three songs in QT, then cutting and pasting them together.
    Finally use QT Pro's 'Add to Movie" option to add the soundtrack to the original movie.
    This worked well and was fast to do too.
    -Joe Lombardo: I ended up having to extend the songs by 20 seconds so I brought them all into GarageBand and made some edits. Then I exported them all to iTunes as a single track and used that for the slideshow

  • Exporting LR3 slideshow to DVD

    Hi Folks, I'd appreciate your help with this one.  I am shortly to include a slideshow with music at an exhibition of my images in a weeks time.  The gallery have a monitor and dvd player and so I'd like to export a slideshow of high quality images backed by music to a dvd which they can simply insert and play when I am not around.  The MPEG4 movie which was output last night won't work with my DVD player.  I was able to convert using iMovie/iDVD on my Macbook but that was long winded and the quality poor. One of the reasons I upgraded to LR3 was as I thought this functionality was included.  Any wizards out there who can help me solve this quickly?  Much appreciated and thank you ....thank you

    If you want standard DVD, you will always end up with really bad quality as the maximum resolution of a standard DVD is only 480 lines high (in the US, slightly more in Europe but still not very good). If you only have standard DVD, you'll have to live with what you get from iDVD (you don't have to go through iMovie). If the player is actually some high Def thing such as Blue Ray, you will need a HD authoring solution such as DVD studio Pro or Adobe's solution, but those are very pricey.  The best thing is to connect a cheap PC to the monitor and run the mpeg4 from there.

  • 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.)

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

  • Why Won't iPhoto Export My Slideshow?

    I import photos to iPhoto from my Canon Rebel. They were taken as RAW. I create a folder and name it within iPhoto. I place 50 images and order them the way I want. I then "Select All" the 50 photos in the folder just to play it safe. I click the Plus button and choose Slideshow. I go through all the steps, selecting the theme, selecting the Apple canned music (so that there won't be a copyright issue), I set my settings... Show Title, play music through slideshow, etc. I then click the Preview button. It works fine! I then tap the Play button. My slideshow fills the screen and does as I have asked it to. I then make sure that my slideshow is selected in the left column (it has not been unselected since I started this maneuver) and I click the Export button at the bottom of the window.  HERE IS WHERE, AS I SAID BEFORE, EXPORT DOES NOT WORK.... A dialog box comes up: "Export your slideshow Choose a format based on where you will view your slideshows;___Format:" (I have chosen all three choices many, many times trying to get beyond this point.)  "Automatically send slideshow to iTunes" has been selected, BTW.  I then hit the export button and the navigator dialog box opens and I choose my folder called iPhoto Slideshows. I click OK.  At this point the export progress dialog box opens and sits there... the thumbnail rectangle remains BLACK. The progress bar never changes from its standard GREY.  The only text on the export slideshow dialog box remains the same and says: "Exporting Slideshow ..."  Fearing there was a hiccup somewhere, I have left this window open and able to work OVERNIGHT, just in case. Nothing. I have tried all three formats. I have changed the destination folder. Nothing.
    I have had this problem for months. Have asked this forum for help. I have been told nothing is wrong with iPhoto.
    So here's my new question: "What am I suppose to do about this problem that I have explained above?"
    I would say my copy of iPhoto is corrupt, if there is nothing wrong with iPhoto in general. Is this a possibility?  In which case.... How do I get another iPhoto app without having to pay for it?
    Or do you have some other reason this process is not working on my Mac Pro with OS X  10.9.5 (13F34)?
    This is the fifth time I have had to export all my photos to my laptop and use Snow Leopard with iPhoto 9.2.3 in order to finish my projects.
    Please help with these EXPORT FAILURE questions.
    Thank you, very much.

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

    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.
