Imported Slide Show Problems

I imported a slide from Photoshop Elements 7.0 into Premiere Elements 7.0. I did get an error that .jpg files could not be imported into Premiere. Some .jpgs showed and some did not. Any suggestion?
Also, text titles I added in Photoshop are very blurry in Premiere. Can someone help me understand why and how to correct?
Thanks,
Gary

Steve,
I did a batch processing of over 2000 jpgs in 7 slide shows to 1000x750 and this seemed to work better.
I am still having text problems. The titles applied to each jpg in the slide shows are clear in Photoshop Elements 7 but are blurry but readable when imported into Premiere Elements 7.
Further, I have blank slides that are black background with white text in each slide show. These are clear in Photoshop but blurry but readable when imported into Premiere Elements 7.
I took a suggestion and imported a slide show into PE7 and then exported it to a DV AVI file. When I brought it back up and viewed it, the text titles on the jpgs and the white text on the black slides were still blurry but readable. I viewed the AVI in two separate programs, the pictures look OK but the text is not crisp and clear.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Gary

Imported slide show into PE11 and some pics rotated unexpectedly, How can get back to horizontal?

Just what are the pixel dimensions of these photos that are automatically rotating on you in Premiere Elements 11 workspace after being transferred there from the Elements Organizer Slideshow Editor? Do I have that correct? If so, how are you making the transfer....Edit with Premiere Elements Editor, Burn to Disc, or other as Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor output?
What is the scenario...from the camera to the computer hard drive, landscape; from the computer hard drive to the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor, landscape; from the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor to Premiere Elements 11 Project Assets/Timeline, rotated to Portrait?
Do you find that the frequency of the problem is related to pixel dimensions, number of photos used? What is the format of these photos, jpg or other?
Are you using the Rotation option in the Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded to correct the photo rotation?
Just some thoughts for now.

Import Slide Show

I created a slide show in iPhoto 9.1.5 and exported it to QuickTime. The .mov is 8.2 meg residing on my desktop. I imported it to FCE. I created a new sequence, in an existing project, and double clicked the sequence. The sequence appeared in the timeline. All appeared well. When I drag and drop the mov to the timeline it tells me there is insuffient data to edit. When I drag it to the Viewer window, it tells me General Error. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Your original thread question should have been taken care of according the Announcement at the top of this forum...that involves the removal of the Windows Update kb causing the 1/2 wmv display. Have you been there and done that? If that is out of the way, then...
Lots of details on your project to sort out, but I will ask the question "Have you put a stop marker at the end of the last item on the Premiere Elements Timeline?" If so, remove it. It is not needed and is one of the major causes for type of problem that you described in your latest post. Have you expanded your Timeline looking for left over slivers? Typically they present as very thin vertical black lines scattered about the track content.
What are the pixel dimensions of the photos that went into the slideshow, now that you are trying the Photoshop Elements Slideshow Editor Output option of Edit With Premiere Elements Editor?
What is your end product...NTSC or PAL DVD-VIDEO standard or widescreen on DVD disc? In the burn dialog for burn to DVD, what does the Quality Area show for Space Required and Bitrate? And, another classical question...if you burn to folder instead of disc for your DVD-VIDEO, does the burn to folder go to success whereas the burn to disc does not?
Let us start here and then decide further troubleshooting.
Thanks.

Exporting Slide Show Problems

I am having trouble exporting my slide show with either the regular export or share to iDVD. I have updated iPhoto to the latest version, tried rebooting, shutting down. It gets all the way across to the very end and then says there was an error. Any ideas or suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That error code is a file is busy error. What size is the file that you end up with? Does it have a .mov extension on it? If not, try adding the .mov extension and see if you can open it.
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) 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger 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.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

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.

Imported slide shows in Final Cut Express are poor quality

I just bought Final Cut Express (so it's the latest). I know this problem isn't unique to Final Cut, but when I import a slide show created in iPhoto or Fotomagico into Final Cut (or into iMovie HD, for that matter), the quality is poor. What I am trying to do is to create a movie that integrates a slide show with video, and output it to a DVD. The slide show uses "Ken Burns Effect."
I have tried outputting the finished slide show in various formats (m4v, dv) to try to improve quality, to no avail. This is even before the movie is outputted to a DVD- it's just viewing the rendered product on-screen. I'm guessing that the output from the slide show apps is compressed, then recompressed when rendered in Final Cut.
For a small upgrade price, Fotomagico has an HD output option. Would that improve things or is that the wrong tack to take? How do professionals do this sort of thing? How might I do it?

Slides never look as good on TV because you are drastically reducing the original size of probably 1920x1200 to around 720x576 which ruins the quality.
Furthermore, the fine detail is likely to jitter and shimmer due to interlacing artifacts.
You can reduce the jitter with the De-interlace filter but it will do nothing for the sharpness.
The only way you can get high quality is to produce your video in high definition and play it back on an HDTV.
Having said that, I routinely apply the de-interlace filter to all my slides and when played back on my HDTV the standard definition looks remarkably good. (But they look much worse on a CRT TV.)

PSE 7 Slide Show problems

I have used Photoshop 7 on my computer running vista very successfully but a problem has now arisen. When I use slide show to show some of my selections the pictures are pixelated. This does not apply to all selections. I note that the pixelated pictures are c 400% but the ones that are ok are 40%. If I do not allow the pictures to resize in slide show thet are only small. Any help would be appreciated. This has only happened recently and I cant remember if I have had an adobe downloaded update which might have affected this.

Hi Bob
Thanks for coming back to me so quick, I will try & explain the problem in
more detail.
I have all of the photos in My Catalogue tagged ie 2009 Holiday, Mothers
Birthday etc so that by selecting the tag and then display in full screen I
can show them in a slide show to friends & family. This has always worked
well until last week when I called up a slide show of a past holiday the
pictures were very pixelated. All photos are not affected. Some holidays I
select in slide show are ok. If I look at individual pictures in my
catalogue most are ok but many are pixelated. Any pictures that have not
been adjusted in PSE 7 are ok.
Any picture viewed in full screen in slide show has in the top left pop up
menu a % of less than 100%, typically 35 - 75%. Any of the pixelated
pictures have a % 350 - 450%.
I originally had Elements 2 but upgraded to PSE 7 when I changed to Vista
because of album problems, apart from problems converting my catalogue
originally all has worked very well. Apart from the recent update the only
other thing which I have done is to start a back up which I aborted because
it was taking a long time to do. I have 4,600 photos in my catalogue and the
problem slide shows are random throughout but appear to be trouble free up
to about the end of 2004. ie a holiday slide show before then seems to be
ok. The latest photos put into the catalogue this month, post upgrade & post
attempted back up are ok. I have also found that if I expand a photo that
has been modified in PSE 7 although the modified picture is pixelated the
original displays ok. I hope that this more fully explains my problem but if
you require more information please let me know. I really do appreciate you
looking at this for me. It is very frustrating when something that was
working perfectly for me then goes **** up!

David

Weather widget and slide show problems

Hi
The site is www.heritageharbourcommunity.com
My site opens on a three column fixed page with header and footer. I have been able to define the area between the nav bar and footer as editable. When I go to incontext and try to make that area editable through incontext it seems fine until I test it. I receive a message that the area is not editable and I can make regions editable through incontext. Only the right most column has a dashed line around it. From that I assume the problem is with the weather widget in column 1 and the slide show in column 2.
All of my other pages are single column and seem to work well with incontext. Any suggestions? Thanks...Morgan

Hello MoBet,
InContext Editing regions cannot contain Flash or JavaScript content, so you should wrap the sections you want to have editable with div tags to separate them from this content. For example:

Nivo Picture Slide-Show Problems

Hi, I have been trying to correctly implement this Nivo Picture Slider into my website for awhile now, so far I have not been able to get it working the way I want it to.
I uploaded the website I am currently working on to a temporary link so I am able to show anyone willing to help where I am with the page and slider business. The coding for the nivo slider may be sloppier than intended because I tried adding things little by little to see if I could get it to work.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong and let me know how I can get this Nivo picture slide show up and running? I'm looking to make it so that the image in the banner area underneath the logo switches to another picture every few seconds.
As always, any and all help is greatly appreciated.
http://911contents.com/index.html
Above is the link to the website so far, ignore the website layout looking wild please, I know what's causing that problem. I just need to get the slide show working.

I would start by ensuring the links to your javascript files are coded correctly. You have a LOT of scripts all linked as CSS. You can also combine these into far fewer files.
<link href="jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="jquery.nivo.slider.js" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> 
<link href="css/jQuery.js" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="css/jQuery.min.js" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="jquery.prettyPhoto.js" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="cufon-yui.js" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="swfobject.js" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="pk_frontend.js" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="font.js" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
All of the above should start <script type="text/javascript" href="FileLocation.js" />.

Slide Show problem wit Mac OS Mavericks

Hello,
I try to use the Slide Show with LR5.5 on iMac Mavericks 10.9.4 ( and also same on MacBook Air )
I can stop the slide show with space bar but when I want to go back to the previous slide by Left Arrow or next slide by Right Arrow : Nothing appen !
The Right and Left Arrows works fine in Manual mode or on the Library module.
Is it a bug with Mavericks/LR5 ?
Thank you for any Help.
Excuse me if I am not in the good community

Hi thanks for the quick reply.
Yep may have to end up disabling FileVault, it's a last resort as it will decrypt the whole disk.
Rebooted to the disk utility with disk verify and repair, no problems there. but at least the disk is fine

Spry/Slide Show problems from new host

Recently I moved my site from TDS to godaddy. Everything worked well on TDS, now people get 4 error merssages before the site loads through Godaddy. These are:1) SpryPannelSet.js requires SpryWidget.js! Then 2) SpryFadingPanel.js requires SpryPannelSet.js! Then 3) SpryImageSlideShow.js requires Spry Widget.js! Then 4) SpryPanAndZoomPlugin.js requires Spry Immage Slide Show.js! Most of my pages have slide shows downloaded from the widget browser. When I moved the site, I didn't move the site from TDS, I just loaded the site up from my computer. Is there something I can do to allow people to get on my index page without having to click these error messages. My site is www.tailgatershandbook.com.

SpryWidget.js is corrupt. Try re-uploading and if that does not work try linking to the Adobe JS as per

Creating Slide Show problems in Elements 10

I have Photoshop elements 10. I started to create a slide show: so selected the photos, then the show preferences from the dialogue box but when I clicked OK the Slide Show editor dialogue box did NOT appear and everything froze. the only way out was to close the whole program. Please can you help?

If you are running Windows system then this article will help you to get started:

Although it is for PSE12, the steps are almost identical in PSE10.
Good luck.

Multiple slide show problems

OK. Im really stuck here.
I have made a slide show in Flash 8 using actionscript 2. Ive
managed to succeed to a point. But I will tell you prblems and
hopefully they can be solved here as Ive found no where on web that
can.
Problem1: I have a slide show with 5 slides all in the parent
of 'presentation'. I have input actionscipt code to allow the
current slide to go to the next slide at the end of the timeline. I
then linked the last slide with the first slide. Why oh why does
this freeze on it 2nd loop through the slides on the 3rd slide. I
just dont get it!! It plays once then freezes on the 3rd
slide?!?!?!?!?
Problem2: I have put this actionscipt code against a button,
why doesnt it work when it does for other people?
on(release){
getURL("
http://www.mysite","_self");
If anyone can help please do.

lol use a valid url...good one...not that much of a noob.
OK so here is code:
The link code goes as follows: (these links dont work! Why?),
on(release){
getURL("
http://www.mysite","_self");
The next slide code goes as follows:
stop();
function goNext(){
currentSlide.gotoNextSlide();
clearInterval(timer);
var timer = setInterval(goNext, 500);
The go to first slide goes as follows:
stop();
function goNext(){
_root.presentation.gotoSlide(_root.presentation.slide1);
clearInterval(timer);
var timer = setInterval(goNext, 500);
As I say it all works until 2nd loop and then stops on 3rd
slide....?
