Import Images into slide show - Creating Thumbnail images -Hang

I am using iDVD 7. I imported my images into a slideshow. The pictures were not in iPhoto but just a folder that I created and edited in Photoshop. Once I import the images, the window shows all the file names as expected but all the Image Thumbnails are blank and the top of the window there is a message "+Creating thumbnail images... (32 remaining)+" with a spinning wheel next to the message. This message stays there forever. The 32 is the number of images in the slideshow. I can do most things in iDVD while this is going on, but I cannot add the audio I want.
What is causing this and can I get it to stop?

To add to this I decided to remove the slideshow and now import the pictures from iPhoto. I can only get ride of the message by closing iDVD down. When I relaunch iDVD the message is gone. When I now import the pictures from iPhoto the same thing happens where it hangs on creating thumbnail images.

  • IDVD won't create thumbnail images in slide shows

    In a slide show, the window that used to show the photos in a slide show no longer renders thumbnails in the list or grid views. The status at the top of the window just sits there and spins forever, with the text "Creating thumbnail images...." Anyone know of a workaround?

    Neither of these "fixes" has changed anything. I also cleared my cache, ran a diagnostic check, and a virus/trojan scan! Either way, firefox 4 is just not working up to my needs! Should, or can I go back to 3.6?

  • How do I create image pushing slide show in Flash?

    Hi. I am wondering if anybody can tell me how to create a picture PUSH. I have three images that I wish to work with. By pushing I mean having an image come in from the left (or right) and place itself on top of the other (or pushing the other out of view). Like a slide show of three images scrolling along but one stops for a brief period before the other image comes into view.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

    As Pat mentioned, this question might be best suited for the Flash Professional forum, I just happen to have the link handy
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Trying to add album from iphoto into idvd slideshow.  Not all photos are loading.  Message "creating thumbnail images...(31 remaining).  Been there a long time.  What is wrong?

    trying to add album from iphoto into idvd slideshow.  Not all photos are loading.  Message "creating thumbnail images...(31 remaining).  Been there a long time.  What is wrong?

    Open your iPhoto Library, go to that particular album and verify that you can view the full sized version of each image by double clicking on them.  Report back with the results.

    The following is what I use to create thumbnail images. It uses struts, is a bit of a haste work but never failed in creating thousands of thumbnails. I'd be glad if you suggest improvement.

  • Create Thumbnail Images

    Hello, I currently use Automator on Mac OS 10.4 Tiger. I most often use this program to create thumbnail images for easy web upload. However, I plan to upgrade my operating system to Leopard soon, and I was wondering, will my Automator workflows that I've created in Tiger work on the Leopard OS? If not, is their an equivalent automation on Leopard that will output thumbnail images?

    without knowing specifics it's hard to say anything definite but leopard automator includes everything Tiger automator had and a whole lot more. the action to create thumbnails is certainly present. you might have to remake the workflow from scratch but it will certainly work.

  • 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.

  • OS X Mail High CPU "Creating Thumbnail Images"

    I just upgraded to Yosemite and noticed that my computer has become quite sluggish. I noticed that Mail is running the CPU very high. I opened the Activity window in mail and notice that it's continually "Creating Thumbnail Images". Does anyone know what exactly it's doing? Is there any way to limit the amount of CPU it uses?

    Hi, I have got some aditional information. I switched off all network connections and was able to remove the email from the outbox. Now I can use Mail again to fetch mail. To my surprise, the email that still resided in the outbox was sent. It was just not removed from the outbox.
    I rebuilt all mailboxes, still no change, i. e. same crash when trying to send an email.
    Any ideas?

    Fortunen

    When you installed version 10 did you convert your previous catalog?
    If so, your projects should appear in the PSE10 Organizer. To search for them type PSESS into the search box.
    You should then be able to open the project by double clicking on  its thumbnail.
    Then choose Output >> Edit in Premier Elements

  • Import subtitles for slide show

    I have two slide shows, each with 50 slides. I would like to generate a text file with the subtitle definitions and import it, but apparently subtitles can only be imported for timelines. Why is that?
    I have the names of the slides (the texts that should be displayed as subtitles) in an excel file and generated a text file out of it that has exactly the format needed for importing subtitles.
    It would be rather time consuming to manually copy the names of the 100 slides out of the Excel sheet and insert them as a description for each slide.
    Are there any technical reasons why importing subtitles for slide shows is not allowed?
    Regards,
    Christian Kirchhoff

    Hallo,
    thanks again for the reply. In one case I really could do it, you are right there.
    But there are slide shows, too, which do not proceed automatically but wait for the user to press the previous/next chapter buttons on the remote control. To realize the same behaviour in a timeline one had to set the end action for a chapter to "return to beginning of chapter". That works, kind of, but I found out that both with software DVD players on a computer and with regular DVD players the navigation (forward/backward) is very...irregular. Sometimes when you press the next chapter button it works, and sometimes not.
    That's why I wanted to stick with the slide show instead of a timeline.
    Regards,
    Christian
