Inserting photos into a powerpoint presentation

Hello,
I just returned from a Powerpoint class. I was trying to create a presentation by inserting my photos but my computer started to overheat and the scroll bar started to blink. The teacher said that I was using too much RAM memory and suggested that I decrease the size of the pictures. She also said that my powerpoint presentations are text based. I would like to create a presentation for my students at school.
I am using a Mac Lapbook

Since PowerPoint is not an Apple product you should really consider posting your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Office:Mac products, as they would be geared more toward your issue than an Apple forum:

Insert scenes from commercial DVD into a Powerpoint presentation

Is it possible to take scenes from a commercially released DVD and insert them into a Powerpoint presentation?

notwithstanding the previous reply, DVD images are MPEG files, and won;t go into powerpoint without some conversion (probably to DV) and thus an associated loss of quality.
If it is a commercial disc to which you don't own the rights, you will almost certainly be breaking the law by taking the images and showing them to an audience in any format at all.
You might be better to look on YouTube for a similar piece of content.

How can I import an i-tune into a powerpoint presentation?

I am preparing a slide show for my wife's birthday on powerpoint 3.0, and I am a beginner. I want to play a song and show 93 slides. When I try to import the song by a file name, I can get into itunes, and I can select the artist and get to the album folder, but I can rarely get the song title itself to appear, and even when it does, I get a message saying that I have not designated the proper path, and tells me to check the path.
Does anyone out there know how to break through past the artist and album name and load an itune into a powerpoint presentation through the "insert" and "movies and sounds" command features?
I can play the music through the CD player and do the slide show, but I want to put the music into the presentation so that I can put the whole thing into a CD.
Can anyone help? Thanks

You probably need to link directly to the music not going through iTunes. If the music is from iTunes store you will need to convert to mp3 first then link to the mp3 version.

Embed Edge Animate animation into a Powerpoint presentation?

Is there a way to embed the animation I created into a Powerpoint presentation. My client wants a rather detailed animation and I know I can do it in Edge Animate, but how can they use it in their presentation? Is there any workaround for this? All help is really appreciated.

I don't think powerpoint supports html.
But you can insert video in slides.
So, better you create Edge Animate composition and preview in browser in fullscreen mode and use any screen capture software that will create a video out of it.
Then insert this video in the slides to have the animation.
hope it helps,

Can't find some albums when trying to insert photos into other programs

I am having trouble finding albums (and thus pictures) when trying to insert photos into a Word document or upload to mySpace/ facebook etc.
After choosing 'insert<picture<from file<pictures<iPhoto Library' , I have the option of looking into the year-month-date or by album. Since I have a better memory of the 50+ albums I have created rather than their dates, I choose "Albums". This list only contains about half of my albums (with folder icons) and it appears outdated...ie one of the albums no longer exists in iPhoto and has been changed to a folders with several albums in it.
I'm wondering why this is happening or how i can update the album list. I realize i could use the year-month-day thing but that is too frustrating.

Hi chantreya,
iPhoto 5 now stores the Album information in a data xml file. The Albums folder within the iPhoto Library folder is no longer used. At some point, usually after a rebuild, you will no longer have that folder in the Finder.
If you need to access photos from an album it is very difficult for a third party application to navigate the iPhoto Library in order to find the photo you need. You will have to know the date of import in order to find the photo.
There are some third party applications that can read the xml file and can navigate the iPhoto library and show you the Albums. Hopefully more applications will be revised to read this file.
Until then you will have to Share/Export the photos to the desktop. You can then navigate to the desktop to use the photos (example: web uploading from online photo site)
If your application supports drag and drop, you can drag the photo from an open iPhoto Library window into your application.
For email you can also use the email icon within iPhoto to open a message with the highlighted photo attached.
You can also use spotlight to find images in an Album...
This is what I have done using Spotlight to find my images that are in iPhoto albums without opening iPhoto..
In iPhoto, select the album, then select all, go to Photos/batch change.
Change the comments to text. In the text field I put the name of the Album.
Do this for each album.
Close iPhoto.
Open Spotlight and put in the name of the Album ( you have to remember the names of the albums or have then written down)
In the spotlight search results. click on "show all"
Under "Images" click on the "xx more" to show all the images in the album.
Make sure you have it in icon view, the icon view box is the last one on the blue images line.
Now you can control click on the image to "reveal in finder", open in iPhoto or Mail, etc.
I am not sure if this is going to make you happy and it is a little more work, but you can find images in albums and even view them in a slideshow (by clicking the play arrow at the end of the Images highlighted blue line) using Spotlight, all without opening iPhoto.
One important thing to know is you can set up a graphic program to be an external editor (when you double click an image in the library} such as PhotoShop or PS Elements. You set up that within iPhoto Preferences. Just make sure you save the image flattened and with the same name. The edits will then be relected in iPhoto when you hit "save".

Hi. Please can anyone show me how to install a flash document / movie into a powerpoint presentation so that the animation plays within the powerpoint? Thanks

Hi. Please can anyone show me how to install a flash document / movie into a powerpoint presentation so that the animation plays within the powerpoint? Thanks

wouldn't it make more sense that a flashtard is someone who
just generally sucks at flash and asks idiotic questions?
anyway, so i pretty much got the banner done - but i'm stuck
on one problem. I made a motion clip of a heart, and i want the
heart to fall from top to bottom, following a squiggly motion
guide, and to rotate 1/4 turn on the way. I got it as far as
following the motion guide, but when i try to select the instance
in the first frame and rotate it, shouldn't the motion tween make
it appear to slowly rotate, rather than stay put then rotate 1/4
turn at the last frame? When I select the clip and play around with
alpha and stuff, that works fine. What the heck?

Using iMovie 11 and can't insert photos into story line?

I just got IMovie 11 and the browsers won't highlight when trying to create a movie. I can't insert photos into the storyline

If I had to guess, and this merely based on reading iMovie Discussion Group threads, I would say sometimes Themes/Trailers/Animated Titles have problems. Not to say they cannot be used, but they can be the source of crashes and other bad behavior if something gets corrupted in them. Animated titles (in a regular iMovie Project) can cause instability and crashes. So I would say, some of those Themes may not be reliable and have pieces or parts built into the template that are causing this issue.
If you wanted to try doing a bit of preventive maintenance try this:
Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and launch this program
Click on the Repair button under Disk Permissions and let it run until it finishes. Reboot the Mac, and open iMovie see if you get any different behavior out of iMovie with one of those failed Project Theme movies if you have one still available to open and look at. I won't say this is going to fix it, but it's sometimes can help. Also there's an iMovie preferences file that can get corrupted and lead to problems. To find the iMovie prefs:
Go to the Desktop look for the Go Menu at the top menu bar. Hold down the Option key and click on the Go menu. Click on Library > Preferences.
In the list of files there are: com.apple.iMovieApp.plist and also com.apple.iApps.plist
Drag both of those to the trash and relaunch iMovie. See if that preference file deletion helps.

Does adobe have alternatives for inserting photos into templates?

I have just downloaded this software in the hope that I can use some template files. They are eps and elements 13 doesn't support it.
In addition to this the only other thing that I wanted elements for was to remove backgrounds. I can't find a tutorial on that. The only one listed is for CC.
The only use I have for the software is to insert photos into a sublimation template. Do Adobe have an alternative that can do this?

Please review this and get back with issues that need additional clarification:

As for EPS files, Irfanview will open them, and then you can save them as JPEG files and open them in PSE.
Irfanview is a terrific program, free: www.irfanview.com

Can no longer see my I-photo photos, when trying to insert photo into Word Document.

I had some computer problems and did upgrade to Snow Leopard from Leopard. Using older MacBook Pro.
Now, when I try to insert a picture into a Word Document, I cannot see my photos!
I am working in a word document, I choose "Insert Photo from my files" and when the window comes up so I can choose the photo to insert... when I select the "photos" choice under the Media section on the Left side of the box that comes up, the box to the right is BLANK, both on the top and bottom! None of my photos come up for selection.
This method to choose photos to insert into documents used to work before... now it is not. After selecting "photos" all my photos would appear in the right box, and I would move through my I-photo events to choose my saved photo and insert it. Yes, photos are showing and present in I-photo. They just won't appear for importing.
This is so frustrating, not to mention time comsuming trying to figure out what is going on and how to fix it.
Can anyone help? Please?

Oroilore-
I do not see a way to disable the Picture Frame icon. I looked at Settings-Picture Frame, but none of the options turns it off. The only way I can thinik of, would be if all of your photos had been deleted. If there were no photos, you couldn't have a slide show!
One thing to try is to reset (reboot) your iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

How do you insert bullets into a keynote presentation?

I am trying to insert bullets into a custom keynote presentation. How do you do this? Then, I need to convert to powerpoint. Haven't had to do this before. Is there someone who can walk me through it?

see the following thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/5876208#5876208
There is also Keynote '09 User Guide available to you in your Help Menu which can be downloaded for free.
I recommend Chapter 4 for starters.
Good luck

Inserting photo into word document with new Yosemite OS X

iPhoto has gone away after downloading the new Yosemite OS X program. Now it is Photos. I am attempting to drag or insert a picture into a word document for work. Unlike the old iPhoto, double clicking on the photo does not allow me to "Copy" so I may then "Paste" on my document. In addition, when I attempt to drag the picture onto the document where I want it, the picture goes right back to the photo library. Tried pretty much everything I know and my tech guys from work. Anyone have this problem or know of the solution?

My photos are not in/on iCloud. In Microsoft Word 2011 I can use
Insert > Photo > Picture from File ...
and then navigate to the my 'Pictures' folder and insert a picture successfully.
Can't find a direct way of going from Photos to Word. In practice, this is not a big issue for me because in most cases I want to reduce the size of the image, which I do by selecting the image(s) I want in Photos.app, then switch to Preview.app, command-N (New from clipboard). Once in Preview.app I can transfer images to Word by drag and drop from the thumbnails, etc. The neat thing about this workflow is one can select several images in Photos at once and have them all open in Preview with one keystroke.

Trouble inserting photos into iMovie

I am trying to import some photos into iMovie that I copied from a website. When I try to insert them from a file on my desktop, where I saved them, I only get a portion of the photo. I went back to the folder and opened each picture outside of iMovie and they are complete pictures of high resolution. When I insert them, they turn out to be a part of the photo in low resolution. Ideas?

You might also try dragging the folder into iphoto and see if they will import there. Then access them from within imovie. If iphoto won't see them then you will need to convert them like was already suggested.

Premier Elements 12, Inserting Photos into timeline, using transitions, inserting music

I have just recently switched from Premier Elements 8 to 12, after discovering that "expert" looked allot more like what I was used to I have been able to start a new project. However, I don't consider myself to be an "expert".
That said I have a few questions:
I used to be able to insert photos and rearrange them in the "sceneline", I do not see that feature in Premier 12 so am using the "timeline" that is there. However I cannot insert photos or move them around easily, I get my clips reducing in size. How can I insert new photos or move them?
Transitions seemed to have been reduced greatly in the availabilty of them, have they "gone out of favor", I had put a transition inbetween all of my clips in my previous projects with 8. Allot of them were merely the "wipe" feature. What is recommended with 12?
I have not gotten to adding music to this project however have noticed that there are allot of different styles available. However I want to be able to add my own music, can you give me tips on "how to do that", would I just go to the "add media" and get them off my computer and than add it to the audio line?
Thank you ahead of time.

I am not sure why these photos should be reducing in size. It should be the same thing as in your older version, that is, as you hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard, with your mouse cursor drag you new file into place in the Timeline. Some people like to use the Ctrl key instead of the Alt key. I prefer the Alt key.
I prefer the Expert workspace rather than the Quick in version 12, but you can still move the images in the Quick Filmstrip spaces with a click and drag, left or right as appropriate. So, I am not sure what you ran into in the Quick workspace in that regard.
Transitions seemed to have been reduced greatly in the availabilty of them, have they "gone out of favor", I had put a transition inbetween all of my clips in my previous projects with 8. Allot of them were merely the "wipe" feature. What is recommended with 12?
There are lots of Transitions under theTransition Tab when you are in Expert workspace, much less in the Quick workspace. This is what you should be seeing in version 12/Expert workspace/Transitions
This is what you had in version 8.0/8.0.1 under Wipes in Timeline view.
3. I have not gotten to adding music to this project however have noticed that there are allot of different styles available. However I want to be able to add my own music, can you give me tips on "how to do that", would I just go to the "add media" and get them off my computer and than add it to the audio line?
Same as before. Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets (if Expert workspace). The Quick workspace does not have that "intermediate" Project Assets. So, it is Add Media/Files and Folders/ and direct to a scene space in the Filmstrip. If you have iTunes music, it may have to be converted to .mp3 or .wav (again same as before).
However, if you are a SmartSound soundtrack user, the SmartSound feature is gone in version 12 which has it counterpart, under Audio Tab, of Music Scores and Sound Effects which end up on the Timeline as .wav files. If you have the old SmartSound soundtracks, they need to be converted to .wav and then the Premiere Elements 12 Add Media/
Please check out the above. If any questions or if you need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks.
