IPhoto '11 Saved Slideshow not saving settings for individual slides

Please, need help in iPhoto '11 with Saved Slideshows. I will try rephrasing my question as I received no answers when I posted yesterday. I create my Saved Slideshow by choosing File>New>Slideshow. It then shows up at the bottom of my Source List under Slideshows. I am trying to have individual settings for each slide: timing, transition, and Ken Burns effect. I check each box in the "This Slide" menu and type in what I want. When I exit the Saved Slideshow the first two settings are saved and as I left them, but the KB box is no longer checked. It works fine when I click "Preview." I have carefully read all the forum discussions dating back to last fall and see that I am not the only one with the problem. Like others I noticed that the KB effect won't "stick" only on certain slides, mostly Landscape images. KB settings for Portrait images seem to "hold." I'm not a novice in creating Saved Slideshows. I've done this in iPhoto '08 with no problem at all. I reported this to Apple as a possible bug. I feel like there is now no way I can make the slideshow I want to burn to a DVD to share with family and view on a TV. As far as I can tell you can't do KB effects for individual slides in the latest version of iDVD without having made a Saved Slideshow in iPhoto first. Can anyone help me? I am so frustrated.

I am 99% sure that this has something to do with how NEF files work. If I understand them correctly, the original raw data is stored in one portion of the file and then versions of the file are stored within it (these are the 'versions' that you can make in NX2). The versions are just whatever mathematical transformations are applied to the raw data to get the version of the image that you want to see. It is a brilliant way to store information and many versions of photos (different sizes of crops, b/w, colour, sepia, etc...) in their highest possible resolution without taking up an inordinate amount of disk space. The raw data are huge, but each version only adds a tiny bit to the size.
The problem with iPhoto is that it can only see the raw data - not the metadata containing all of the transformations to get the edited version of the photo. This means that if you load the photos into the iphoto library as nef files and then edit them with an external editor (i.e. NX2), the files will be edited, and when you open them again in NX2 from iPhoto, then you'll see the edits, but the edited version will not be visible in iPhoto. If you work with NX2 and iPhoto (as I do), you basically need to save your edited versions of files as .jpg or .tiff and then re-import them into iPhoto. It is a bit of a pain, but I am sure that it could be fixed in a future version of iPhoto.
Cheers.

Very weird day in Firefoxland
First on a Powerbook G4 running 10.4.11 I respond to an invitation to upgrade to Firefox 4 (like a lot of others). Long story short, I wind up losing the browser altogether -- including all bookmarks. Why? Because neither the Firefox homepage (or CNET downloads) makes it clear that 4.0 is for OS 10.5 only! Amazing!
Then I try to register to post a reply in a thread that crits Firefox for not making this System Requirements info upfront clear. But the Register page I’m taken to (https://support.mozilla.com/bs/users/register) is in SERBO-CROATIAN!!
Then I try to log into Chat a couple of times and when it’s not CLOSED its a long line waiting and THEN it closes.
WOW!! Are the wheels off the wagon here or what!?!

View settings for individual sidebar items

Is there a way to save the view settings for individual sidebar items? For example, always have "Documents" open in list view and always have "Applications" open in column view. Finder seems to always use whatever view setting I just used previously for every Finder item (except Photos, which will always display in icon view).

If you hold down the Command key (the one with the cloverleaf looking thingy) and click on an item a new window will open with whatever settings the item had last time it was used. If you hold down the Option key and click on an item, its window opens, with whatever settings it had, and the original Finder window closes. Otherwise just clicking an item in the Sidebar opens the item in whatever format the current window has.

IWeb is unreliably saving (well, not saving) my work

Hello,
I am becoming severly frustrated with iWeb. It has started not saving my work correctly.
I can make changes to my site (which is currently unpublished) and click save. When I reopen iWeb, I am often finding that is hasn't saved at all, or might have saved just some of my progress.
I am running v3.0.4 so there is no update I can try. I have also restarted the Macbook Pro (running Snow Leopard) several times but this problem persists and it's really halting my progress, as I keep having to redo sections of my site.
Can anyone offer any help please? Has anybody else found this problem?
Many thanks
Colin

Hi Roddy,
Thanks very much for that link. I wont click that this has solved my problem just yet, as I want to give it a good test first, but first indications are that it seems to have resolved my issue.
If I don't lose any more work in the next day or two then I will get you your points!
Cheers

Need to export audio for individual slides from slideshow recording

I have a Captivate project that was recorded using full motion video whilst navigating through a PowerPoint slideshow. Some of the slides have now been updated, and I need to break up the original recording and extract audio for each individual slide. This will also make incremental updates easier for me going forward.
Is there any way to do this using Captivate?
Many thanks in advance for any advice you can provide.
Ron.

Hi Ron.
Do you know that each clip you record during captivate is saved as an individual Wav file?
If you go do the Audio Menu, and then Audio Management you can see which wav file is attached to which slide.
Are you using captivate 5?
If you are, then the next step is to click on the speaker icon for the slides on the left side of the screen, and you can edit the audio track as needed or cut out the parts as needed....
If this is what your doing I can explain it better, just not sure if this is what your after.

Random changes when changing setting for individual slide in a slideshow

I've used iPhoto for years and produced many slideshows. However, now when I try to use Ken Burns Effect for an individual slide, I click on the "start" area, adjust my slide, click on "end," and then iPhoto jumps to a totally different slide in the slideshow. When I go back to the slide I wanted to work with, nothing was saved, and the same random change of picture happens.
Actually, the Ken Burns Effect hasn't worked correctly on ANY slide I've tried.
Also, when I try to rearrange the slide order, the slides may stay in the correct order for a few seconds, but then a slide may jump four slides to the right (and again out of order). This behavior is strange and random. It is infuriating and I don't know what to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
ALSO, when I export a slideshow with music, the song plays fine for a few minutes, but then another song starts and the two songs are playing on top of each other (actually, it may be the same song playing over itself too).
What gives?!

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.

Slideshow text for individual slides in LR 4.4

Is it possible to place text in individual slides in LR 4.4? If so, how? Currently have only been able to have text apply to all slides.

In slideshows you can display metadata fields as text - for instance <Title> or <Caption>.
Give each photo a different caption (do this in Libarary) then <Caption> in the slide show will display individual text for each photo.
Same goes for <Title>.

Why does Iphoto 8.1.2 not open & ask for an upgrade?

I was running iPhoto 8.1.2 on my IMAC purchased in 2009 fine until I had a HDD crash and needed to reinstall it from the ILife disk that came with it. I no longer can open it on my IMAC running 10.7.5 as I get these errors:
and
What do I need to do?

and what version o iPhoto do you currently have installed? Probably 8.0.0 - you need to update to he version you had before you reinstalled - 8.1.2 - and then everything will be fine
If you want to upgrade to Mavericks go ahead ands purchase iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x in the App store - but there is not need to do that if you are happy with what you have - simply update iPhoto to 8.1.2

Slideshow not working when Quicktime on Slides!

I have a Keynote presentation (v4.0.1) that includes some quicktime movies on some slides.
It worked fine until I upgraded my system to 10.4.10.
But since the upgrade, the slides with quicktime movies don't appear anymore when using slideshow mode...
the quicktime version I have is 7.3.0
what's happening????

You guys just saved me hours of frustration.
I was banging my head against the wall when I read your thread, and for whatever reason it works.
In my case, only some QT movies would not play.
Really odd as the particular presentation did work fine before.
Thanks a brasilian (Bush talk for a lot...)

Quicktime Export settings for projected slide presentation

I'm looking to find the best quicktime export settings to use in order to have a Keynote 3 presentation as a stand alone movie. I will be projecting the movie from a PC onto a large screen at 1024 x 768 resolution. The project is for a photography club public presentation, and needs to be top quality.
Thanks for your input

Barbara,
The 640X480 vs 720X480 dilemma is an interesting subject! DV Video and Video DVDs use 720X480 resolution. TVs do not have square pixels, but computer monitors do have square pixels - so some adjustment is needed, and 640X480 is the square pixel down-converted equivalent for computers to the 720X480 in non square pixels used by TVs......make sense?
iDVD supports high definition video
Well what this means is iDVD can read HD video files, and convert them to standard definition Video DVDs. It does NOT mean that iDVD can produce HD DVDs. HD DVDs and HD DVD players are not on the market yet.
Today's Video DVDs are not high resolution, they are 720X480. The only way to get higher resolution is to avoid the Video DVD standard, and just make a data DVD. This will not be playable on commercial DVD players, only on computers with the right software and codecs. If I needed to make professional presentations on large screen high resolution monitors, I would not use Video DVDs. Bring a new powerbook and use H.264
If you want to go the DVD route anyway, then 720 X 480 is the best you can get. I'd tell FotoMagico to export in HD (720p). This is a bit of overkill, as iDVD will encode at a lower resolution, but I've gotten good results that way.
You may have to use the anamorphicizer to get iDVD to realize the movie is Widescreen.

Lightroom 2 sharpen settings for scanned slides

Hi,
I'm catching up on scanning a large number of 35mm slides (shot mainly on Fuji Velvia 50, and scanned on a Nikon Coolscan 8000ED) and importing them into Lightroom so I can manage them from there. Can anyone provide advice on suitable sharpening settings to use under Detail in the Develop module?
Obviously different films and images will require different treatment to get the best results for image detail and grain, but it would be really helpful to hear of others' experience to get an idea where to start. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

I don't know whether there is or there is no any particular settings recommended just for a particular type of slide scanned on a particular scanner with particular scanning parameters, but the general rule for capture sharpening in Develop module is: "If it looks good on screen at 100%, it's good".
Just zoom in to 1:1 and use your eyes to judge when there's enough sharpening without making halos or revealing to much film grain.

Podcast settings for individual podcasts

Is there any way to specify podcast settings on a per podcast basis instead of having itunes apply the settings globally? For example, I want one of my podcasts to automatically download the most recent episode, but others I want to download the episodes manually. For world news now, I only want to keep the most recent episode, but some others I want to keep 3 or 4... etc. Is there any way to set this up?

I've been trying to figure how to do this as well .... so far the best 'solution' seems to be by using this Applescript:
http://www.acetylene.net/podcastmanagement_foritunes/
..which allows the user, through ranking your podcasts, to either retain or "expire" particular podcasts.

Project settings for photo slide show for Elements 9

Hello everyone. Making a wedding slideshow of photos with pixels set to 1000 x 750 with elements 9. Which project setting should I choose? there is so many from the new video camera format, to HD Cameras, flip etc.. Widescreen, Standard, too many to choose but nothing for straight pictures.
output will be computer to LCD screen, also will burn copies for viewing on LCD widescreen TVs via DVD. Any direction would be appreciated and which setting to choose. I am at a loss.
Thanks in advance

I would choose the NTSC (or PAL, if you live in PAL-land) DV Widescreen, based on that target DVD-Video.
With Still Images only, one can then let the output determine the Project.
One additional option, but the 1000 x 750 preculdes that, would be to do an HD Project, as per output to BD. Then, Export/Share that Project as a DV-AVI and Import that into a DV Widescreen Project for the DVD-Video. One would still have the BD, HD Project, should they ever wish to produce a BD.
Now, are the Still Images originally from larger files, say 4000 x 3000? If they are, I would probably go with that HD Project, re-Scale the Stills to 1920 x 1080, or very similar, and work with those. As there ARE more pixels, one consideration would be whether there are too many of the Stills for the particular computer to handle.
I always try to work with the highest def material, that I can, and then down-rez upon Export (with but a few exceptions).
To summarize, either the HD Project (with re-Scaled Stills), and then Exported/Imported into a DV Project for the DVD-Video, or just starting the DV Widescreen, and going straight to DVD-Video would be fine.
Good luck,
Hunt
