Import slideshows from iPhoto to Aperature

Will I be able to import slideshows from my iPhoto 08 and 09 into Aperature?

I doubt anyone here can answer you.
Try in the Lightroom forum HERE.
Good luck.

Imported slideshows from iPhoto with problems

I am new to Aperture, but I am trying it out because of a bug causing problems with slideshows in iPhoto. I imported the the library with albums and slideshows from iPhoto. When trying to view slide shows in Aperture, a lot of the photos do not focus/show very low resolution. I have searched the settings and checked the originals' metadata without finding any obvious explanations. Does anyone else have experience with this. Are my settings wrong, or could it be problems carried over from iPhoto?

It seems edited photos from iPhoto library does not change the original photos where they were imported from.
That's correct. iPhoto will never change the Original photo.
iPhoto is a Digital Asset Manager and treats your original file like a film shooter treated the negative. It preserves it at all costs. So, every operation - editing, exporting etc - are carried out on a copy of the original file.
As Apearl suggests, you may be using more disk space than you need: Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A +Managed library+, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
A +Referenced Library+ is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

Import slideshow from iPhoto

I've read somewhere that you can create a slideshow in iPhoto, and then send it to iWeb. I don't care for the slideshow in iWeb and would like to change it. iPhoto seems like the answer but I can't find anywhere that describes how to do it. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Apparently there are a few different slideshow templates to choose from.
Many thanks for any help.

In iPhoto select images or an album and choose Export (Command-Shift-E)
Choose an export option. Either files or a movie or whatever you have on similar plugins.
Depending on what you exported you can drop the movie on iWeb or if you have slides in a folder put that folder on the server and determine the link to the slideshow. Make sure it displays!
To dispay it in iWeb, paste an <iframe> in the HTML Snippet with a link to the page in the Slideshow folder you just exported :
<iframe src="http://url.to.file.html" frameborder="0" width="500" height="500" scrolling="no" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>

Audiio problems importing slideshow from iphoto into idvd

Hello everyone, I'm new at creating slide shows and videos. I'm creating a montage for a party.
I have created a slides how in iphoto 09, exported it, then opened it in idvd 09. Every time, something gets screwed up in the music I had chosen to play along with the slides how. Usually the first song plays fine, then the second song plays part way, then the first song starts up again.
So, I tried exporting the slide show without audio, figuring I could add it in idvd. However, because it is importing the slide show as a video, I can't seem to get the "audio well" button or any way to add audio to the slide show.
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to add sound? I have also tried saving the slide show as a quicktime movie, but can't seem to import it into either imovie or idvd. Help!!
Thanks very much.
my equipment: macbook pro/os x 10.6.4/ 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo/4 gb memory

I have worked with many users who like to take iPhoto albums and make DVDs of them with iDVD. However, one very annoying bug (feature?) has to do with the fact that when you are in iDVD, it randomizes the sort order of the Photos in your album. Not only that, but it is painstaking and time consuming changing the order in iDVD.
My solution..
Select All in the album in iPhoto you want to use in iDVD as a slideshow. Then use File -> Export -> File Export. The secret is to select "Use Album Name" as this will rename the images in sequential order, based on the order that you put them in. Save them in their own new folder somehwere easy to find (ie on the Desktop).
Then, in iDVD, either drag, or I believe you can import the entire folder into the Slideshow project window, and voila! your slides are in order. I believe you can throw away the folder with the exported images as they should now be saved into the Project, but don't quote me on that.

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 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.

Aperture fails to import albums from iPhoto

I have been using the combination iPhoto/Photoshop for many years. For some time I have considered either Aperture of Lightroom. With the chopped price and supposedly improved interface with the new version, I decided to buy it today. So far it looks like a big mistake! One major reason for choosing Aperture rather than Lightroom was Apertures's advertised smooth import of the iPhoto library, and to import albums in iPhoto. I have spent a lot of time over several years to find a good system of album organization in iPhoto. It was consequently a big disappointment to discover that Aperture failed to import most of my some 30 albums and my slideshows from iPhoto. I have searched both the manual and help to find out how I can get my album organization of some 20 000 pictures into Aperture, but so far without success. Can anyone give me a clue. Both regular albums as well as smart albums are missing. I cannot figure out how I so totally have misunderstood what Aperture is capable of.

There is always local issues involved. No two Macs are alike. Different files, temporary files, plug-ins etc. can and do cause problems. When software updates and upgrades are created, the developer, in this case Apple, need to test the software in different environments. Developers are pushed by steadily shorter deadlines, at the same time applications are also steadily becoming more complex. When I am critical to Apple, it is because there are only Apple applications involved in my case, on a brand new (2 weeks old newest version of MacBook Pro), and the very same issue has happened to too many others. Just take a look at Apple discussions. I have used iPhoto since it was launched the first time, and I have only experienced problems a couple of times before. I am not saying that the problem is iPhoto or Aperture alone, it is the two of them which do not handle the integration. Keep in mind also that most Aperture users are different than the average Mac user in that they work a lot with photo files. This is the environment that Apple has to take into account when launching upgrades and updates.

Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Importing photos from iphoto into idvd

I am trying to import photos from iphoto into idvd for a slideshow. When the photos move into idvd they are not in the same order as they were in the iphoto library. What could be the possible cause of this?? I did go into iphoto and place comments in after the fact. Would that have anything to do with it?

HT4718 After burning a slideshow from iPhoto export to a DVD, it will not play on my DVD player OS X 10.9.4

iMac 27' OS X 10.9.4 I burned a slideshow from iPhoto export to a DVD and now it will not play back on anything. The player said Unknown disc. What can i do?

I do find that using one of these programs will reduce the sharpness of the photos.
Granted, I've never used iPhoto - I use Photo to Movie for slideshows and various versions of iMovie for videos, but my pics are excellent quality and my videos are shot in 1080p (better camera) or 720p (small camera) and the results are superb on my TV using both iDVD and Toast. However, I do not encode in iDVD, I simply use it to add a theme and menus. The encoding is done by Photo to Movie, or iMovie 06 HD (the only version ever to process losslessly) and either/both are imported into iDVD as a complete .mov, or Toast.
Since using those methods, I've never had a problem with the sharpness or crispness of my footage. My eyes cannot discern a difference between my "production" and true HD (unless of course I shook the camera while shooting, LOL).

Sending Slideshows from iPhoto

I've created a slideshow (with music) in iPhoto (08) and would like to share this with my family. How do I do this? I tried uploading to youtube.com a while back but the quality was horrible! Is there a better way to share my slideshows from iphoto (with music) and/or video with people? (both mac users and pc users)
I am sure it can be done - I see people's videos and photo slideshows with music all the time on their blogs. I just don't know how to do it. I hope someone can help or point me in the right direction.

Patti:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. See my response in Q: how to save book as slideshow? for ways to save the slideshow as a QT movie and one way to create an iDVD slideshow from it. As far as the iDVD is concerned for your slideshow you would add your QT movie file to an iDVD project and burn to disk. If you don't use the KB effect in the movie you can create the slideshow in iDVD with the same music and get a higher quality image in the final product that with adding a QT movie. But that's just my opinion.
To get it to the web you would have to use QT Pro or a 3rd party application to reduce the file size before adding to a Web Gallery in iPhoto or an iWeb site. You can learn about the best way to go about that over in the iWeb forum. Some top notch Quicktime gurus over there.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. 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.

Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto

Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto.
Hi I've done a lot of searches on how to do this but no answers found.
Imovie is beginning to become really slow because of the large number of video's. It takes 3 minutes to startup. Editing is sometimes slow lot's of spinning beach balls e.t.c.
I would like to only import the video I want to edit and hopefully get a quicker Imovie in the process.
My Iphoto library is about 95 Gbyte in size.
My mac has 4 gb ram and I use the internal disk.
Any other ways to work with Imovie/Iphoto are also welcome.
regards

I won't get iMovie 9 till Tuesday, but based on what you said I may need to take some precautions. One reason I didn't like iMovie 8 is because it automatically imported everything in iPhoto library. What I'm going to do is create a new iPhoto library before importing the photos/videos from the camera. Or if you already have it in your main iPhoto library copy only the photos you'll use in your iMovie 9 project to the new library. Then start iPhoto while pressing the option key which will allow you to select the new iPhoto library you have created. Then I suppose that when you start iMovie 9 it will automatically import only the photos/videos from the new library.

Error message when importing photos from iPhoto

I have been trying to import pictures from iPhoto and when I try to set the duration to about 7 seconds with 240 photos, it says
ERROR DURING IMPORT
The file could not be imported: There is not enough disk space left to import Macintosh HD/Users/........../Pictures/iPhoto Library/2005/07/11/030_30.JPG
Is there anyway I can import all of these files with a duration of around 7 seconds?

Hi Seth:
Welcome to the forum!
You might want to run a disk and permissions repair to find that extra space.
