IPhoto 5 Slideshow - Cannot create slideshow to include titles.

Whilst I can watch a slideshow which includes titles from a photo album, if I wish to create a slideshow from that album, there is no opportunity to then include titles, transition or music.
Selecting the display icon selection when selecting a slideshow, simply plays the slideshow rather than first of all allow settings.
Any clues?

iLife 6 installs a new bunch of sounds, tunes, Garageband loops, etc. as well as the older ones. I believe you will be very impressed with the assortment that Apple provides (/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/iLife Sound Effects Folder). I know I was!

  • Cannot create slideshow in Premiere Elements 8

    I just installed and am trying to use Premiere Elements 8. I have been racking my brain for the last two hours trying to figure out how to create a slide show.  I do not have a create button anywhere.  I jumped from Elements 1.0 to 8.  I am ready to return 8 and go back to 1 if I cannot figure this out.
    Where do I find the slideshow dialog box?
    Can someone please help?????
    Thanks.

    Oh come on, Eric! You're not really going to return the program just because you couldn't figure out how to use it, are you?
    I"m just teasing you. The program can be a bit intimidating at first. That's why I spend most of my day showing people how to use it.
    Actually, there are at least four ways to build a slideshow in Premiere Elements. I show you how to do them all in my book, "The Muvipix.com Guide to Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements 8," if you're interested.It's available on Amazon.com and from the Muvipix store.
    I don know specifically what kind of slideshow you're trying to create, so I can't give you specific instructions.
    But first, before you bring any photos into Premiere Elements, be sure to resize them to 1000x750 pixels, per the FAQs to the right of this forum.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/431851?tstart=0
    Then use Get Media/From Files and Folders to get the photos into your Project panel (also under the Organize tab.)
    Once you've got all of your photos gathered in your Project media panel, select them all and right-click -- and select Create Slideshow.
    As I say, there are a number of other ways to do it, but this is the easiest. There is also an option for creating a slideshow in Themes and there's a slideshow creator built into the Organizer.
    But that should get you started.
    Meantime, why not check out my free Basic Training with Premiere Elements tutorials on the Muvipix site?

  • Iphoto '11 cannot show slideshow for files on NFS (Faces fails, too)

    Hello, please help me see my pictures in slideshow!  I get black pictures, but I have a unique error (google has zero hits on '"NULL CGImageSource" iphoto').  See details below.  Thanks!
    I'm using iPhoto '11 (9.1.5 (615)).
    My preferences have UNCHECKED "copy items into the iPhoto Library".  I want my pictures to remain on my linux (NFS) server so that other PCs can view them in their existing directory tree organization.
    I import the files into iPhoto.  I see them all. yay!
    I also import files from my iPhone.  These most likely reside on my local Mac drive rather than on the server.  yay.
    Signs that things are strange:
      - I can use Faces to identify faces for those pictures which originated on my iPhone(now on local drive), but not those stored on the NFS location.
      - When I use the slideshow, pictures which originated on my iPhone (now on local drive) appear, but not those stored on the NFS location.  These are black screen.  If I use a Theme such as Snapshots, then I see the white borders, and blackness inside.  No, I didn't shoot *every* picture with the lens cap on.
      - (THIS IS THE KEY ERROR MESSAGE FOR APPLE SOFTWARE ENGINEERS TO INVESTIGATE!) Console is spewing errors such as:
    7/27/11 11:49:50 PM    iPhoto[1541]    NULL CGImageSource for Path  - /Volumes/network/yoda/yoda/rbrown/misc/pics/gretchen/2001/IMG_0046.JPG!!!
    I find this odd, because IT'S THE WRONG PATH!  The correct path only contains one "yoda" in the tree hierarchy, i.e.
    /Volumes/network/yoda/rbrown/misc/pics/gretchen/2001/IMG_0046.JPG rather than
    /Volumes/network/yoda/yoda/rbrown/misc/pics/gretchen/2001/IMG_0046.JPG
    I should note that from iPhoto, if I click "File->Reveal in Finder", the Finder launches to the correct location (one "yoda" in hierarchy).  It opens on /Volumes/network/yoda/rbrown/misc/pics/gretchen/2001/IMG_0046.JPG and I see the file.
    The mount itself looks like:
    [hansolo:pics/in/VivaVienna2010] rbrown% mount
    /dev/disk0s2 on / (hfs, local, journaled)
    devfs on /dev (devfs, local, nobrowse)
    map -hosts on /net (autofs, nosuid, automounted, nobrowse)
    map auto_home on /home (autofs, automounted, nobrowse)
    yoda:/home on /Volumes/network/yoda (nfs, nosuid)
    And I'm not confused about the directory tree:
    [hansolo:pics/in/VivaVienna2010] rbrown% ls -la /Volumes/network/yoda/yoda
    ls: /Volumes/network/yoda/yoda: No such file or directory
    [hansolo:pics/in/VivaVienna2010] rbrown% ls -lad /Volumes/network/yoda/rbrown
    drwxr-xr-x  122 rbrown  messagebus  12288 Jul 26 00:42 /Volumes/network/yoda/rbrown
    [hansolo:~] rbrown% ls -la /Volumes/network/yoda/rbrown/misc/pics/gretchen/2001/IMG_0046.JPG
    -rw-r--r--  1 rbrown  messagebus  789848 Nov 10  2001 /Volumes/network/yoda/rbrown/misc/pics/gretchen/2001/IMG_0046.JPG
    Once I discovered this oddity, I thought maybe there was something about the way I browsed in iPhoto to find the pictures to import.  I had gone through the "yoda" share on the left-side of the file selection box.  So I deleted the pictures from iPhoto, and decided to use a symbolic link, which I had created in my home area on the Mac:
    [hansolo:~] rbrown% ls -la /Users/rbrown/yoda
    lrwxr-xr-x  1 rbrown  staff  21 Feb  2 23:07 /Users/rbrown/yoda -> /Volumes/network/yoda
    When I import photos into iPhoto using the "rbrown" item with the house icon (my Mac home directory) on the left-side of the file selection box, and then click through "yoda" and then through "rbrown" and "misc" etc. etc., to find the same files via the non-canonical path of /Users/rbrown/yoda/rbrown/misc/pics/gretchen/2001/, here's what happens:
    - I have to highlight files, not the directory.
    - If I hightlight the files, then they import okay into iPhoto, and appear on the main window
    - The slideshow still doesn't work (black images)
    - The Console error message changes(!) to:
    7/27/11 11:54:03 PM    iPhoto[1541]    NULL CGImageSource for Path  - /Masters/IMG_0022.JPG!!!
    I have no idea where "/Masters" originated.  I have no such directory anywhere, to my knowledge.
    Help! okthxbye.
              -rb

    In iPhoto 11 the Originals folder is renamed Masters.
    IPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback and report the bug.

  • Cannot create slideshow with high frame rate

    I have just bought QuickTime Pro version 7. I am using Windnows XP SP2 on a Pentium D machine.
    I am trying to create a movie with still images I captured from my digital camera. I created a 10 seconds slideshow and set the frame rate to 30 frames per second. I then saved the file as a Quicktime movie. When I played the movie with my QuickTime Player, I could see actions for the first two seconds only. After that, the picture didn't change eventhough the progression bar was moving. Once the movie reached the end, the player then changed the frame to show the last picture of my slideshow.
    In short, only the first 60 images are shown in the first 2 seconds. Then the slideshow was stuck with the 60th image, until it changed to the 300th image at the very end.
    Does anybody has the same experience? Did I do anything wrong?

    One more thing. If I set the frame rate to be less than 10 frames per second, it works fine. It just won't work with high frame rate.

  • IPhoto STILL cannot create successful Faces DB for me...

    I have patched iPhoto with every update (including the recent one), and I have duly deleted its failed face_blob.db and face.db files (from the last times it's failed). It takes maybe 40 minutes trawling thorugh my @8.5K photos, yet I still see no faces.
    Has anyone else had iPhoto refuse point blank even after the last patch?

    Well something is wrong with my Faces also. I have a spanking new copy of iPhoto 09, it's updated to 8.0.4, and I attempted to add in an old library - which was successful and I can see all my previous photos just fine (after allowing iPhoto to convert from iPhoto 6). But Faces just goes and goes and goes and goes. It's been trying for over 4 hours and I only have 695 photos total in this little iPhoto library! What's adding insult to injury is that I can't even access the "name" feature to add my own faces. Apparently I have to wait days? weeks? forever? for iPhoto to attempt the job on its own.
    I've tried several times. The first time, I tried to Quit iPhoto and start over but it told me it was "in use." I finally force quit, rebooted; still locked up. Rinsed, repeated, and the next time tried restarting by holding down opt-command to rebuild the database, but it wouldn't even do that because the program was "in use." So I force quit again, removed the iPhoto library entirely (had a backup copy elsewhere). Started over. Same result. Surely it shouldn't take this long to try to find faces in 695 photos? I could have added faces by hand in this amount of time! The blue progress bar went about an eighth of the way in fairly quickly but hasn't moved since.
    Isn't there any way to bypass the automatic search for faces and just add them ourselves as desired?

  • Animated iPhoto Slideshow: Cannot recreate my original slideshows

    In early 2011, I created 7 different animated iPhoto Slideshows to use as part of my acting and modeling marketing program.  The iPhoto Slideshow software was amazing in how it took still photography and, in a seemingly simple and easy way, transformed it into exciting, highly creative, professional looking video presentations with synchronized music. My slideshows were many times better than the original still photography.
    Recently, I needed to update/replace one photo in some of these slideshows.  To my dismay, I discovered that it was impossible to recreate four of these iPhoto Slideshows.  Every time I attempted to do so, the resulting slideshows were nothing like my original slideshows.  Actually, the overall quality of these 4 slideshows has been drastically downgraded to the point of being unusable--for one or more of the following reasons:  the most interesting, unusual setup of 4 photos [up left: square; up rt: oblong; low left: oblong; low rt: square] in Sliding Panels has been eliminated; this results in a lot of repetition of the same setups within this slideshow; in another slideshow, the current software produces a totally different slideshow that is absolutely rigid throughout and will make no changes/modifications, regardless of the photo order or photo format; in one slideshow, the photo alignment is completely off; and the music is not always in sync with the action.
    Over the past several months, I have discussed these problems with many different people at Apple Support.  Everyone that I have spoken with assumed the problem was caused by a software update to iPhoto Slideshow sometime since early last year.  On April 6th, after reviewing this problem with Apple Engineering, an Apple Support Advisor briefed me on what Engineering had to say.  The response was basically this:  When the iPhoto Slideshow was created, Apple purposely included an algorithm that continually changes the slideshows.  Therefore, if I create a slideshow today, it may be impossible to ever recreate that same slideshow again because of this algorithm.
    I must admit that I am more than a little suspicious about Apple’s response.  It seems just too good to be true; especially due to the fact the stated cause is not easily provable or disprovable.  And Apple Support certainly did not attempt to validate or offer any reasons to support why I should accept this as truthful. Actually, until now, everyone at Apple that I had spoken with assumed the problem was caused by an update to the iPhoto Slideshow software since early last year.  Moreover, 3 of the original slideshows are currenty easily re-creatable.  Finally, this stated cause is so consistent with my experience of how Apple handles all product and software problems:  Nothing is wrong with our product or software.  There must be something wrong with your system or how you are using it. 
    My bet is that Apple significantly changed the slideshow software when they introduced the new iPad in late 2011 to accomodate the unique format of iPad. Hence, the iPhoto Slideshow software would work on iMac, iPhone and iPad.   
    MY QUESTION IS SIMPLY THIS:  HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AS I HAVE WITH THE ANIMATED iPHOTO SLIDESHOWS?

    Is this the panel you're referring to in the Sliding Panels theme?
    If so then it's still availabe in the iPhoto 11 version.  Try a different arrangement of photos.  If that doesn't work try this:  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

    If you go back to the "7.0" directory and open the "Logs" folder, can you copy the "Audition Log.txt" file and send it as an attachment to [email protected]?  We'll take a look in that logfile and see if it gives us more information about why this is failing now.
    Also, do you have any other Adobe applications installed on this machine, such as Premiere Pro?  If so, do they launch as expected or fail as well?
    I do have the trial Pro version of Adobe reader, but I have not activated it, because I fear the same thing will happen did it. I cannot afford to activate the subscription for that product and take the chance of it not working either. I depend on those two programs religiously. Here is the files that you requested.

    How do you create a mixed media disc? I would like to include a slideshow/movie as well as include a .pdf of a photo book on the same disc. I would like the movie to play on any DVD player.

    Do you want the pdf available to view or just for copying from the disk to a computer for viewing.
    To view a PDF you can do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto which will create a jpg of each page of the pdf and save it to iPhoto.  From there you can send the PDF jpegs to iDVD to make a slideshow of the pages.  It's the same principle as used in this tutorial: 06 - Creating an iDVD Slideshow From an iPhoto Book.
    If you don't have the Safe to iPhoto workflow in your HD/Library/PDF Services folder you can download it from  Toad's Cellar.

    Thanks for the tip Demo!
    Sadly it is so.
    Don't know why Apple didn't include slideshows into the iPhoto for iPads!
    Solved the problem with Phtosync &amp; Sugarsync Apps.
    Another super apps for transfering Movies/Slideshows to your iPod, is VLCstreamer.
    You can even watch movies that are on your Mac or extension drives via WiFi , streamed to the iPad
    without even having to upload them to the pad (Which you can do also !).

    I need your help with a decision to use iPhoto.  I have been a PC user since the mid 1980’s and more recently have used ACDSee to manage my photo images and Photoshop to edit them.  I have used ProShow Gold to create slideshows.  I am comfortable with my own folder and file naming conventions. I currently have over 23,000 images of which around 60% are scans going back 75 years.  Since I keep a copy of the originals, the storage requirements for over 46,000 images is huge.  180GB plus.
    I now have a Macbook Pro and will add an iMac when the new models arrive.  For my photos, I want to stay with Photoshop which also gives me the Bridge.  The only obvious reason to use iPhoto is to take advantage of Faces and the link to iMovie to make slideshows.  What am I missing and is using iPhoto worth the effort?
    If I choose to use iPhoto, I am not certain whether I need to load the originals and the edited versions. I suspect that just the latter is sufficient.  If I set PhotoShop as my external editor, I presume that iPhoto will keep track of all changes moving forward.  However, over 23,000 images in iPhoto makes me twitchy and they are appear hidden within iPhoto.  In the past, I have experienced syncing problems with, and database errors in, large databases.  If I break up the images into a number of projects, I loose the value of Faces reaching back over time.
    Some guidance and insight would be appreciated.  I have a number of Faces questions which I will save for later. 

    Bridge and Photoshop is a common file-based management system. (Not sure why you'd have used ACDSEE as well as Bridge.) In any event, it's on the way out. You won't be using it in 5 years time.
    Up to this the lack of processing power on your computer left no choice but to organise this way. But file based organisation is as sensible as organising a Shoe Warehouse based on the colour of the boxes. It's also ultimately data-destructive.
    Modern systems are Database driven. Files are managed, Images imported, virtual versions, lossless processing and unlimited editing are the way forward.
    For a Photographer Photoshop is overkill. It's an enormously powerful app, a staple of the Graphic Designers' trade. A Photographer uses maybe 15% to 20% of its capability.
    Apps like iPhoto, Lightroom, Aperture are the way forward - for photographers. There's the 20% of Photoshop that shooters actually use, coupled with management and lossless processing. Pop over to the Aperture or Lightroom forums (on the Adobe site) and one comment shows up over and over again... "Since I started using Aperture/ Lightroom I hardly ever use Photoshop any more..." and if there is a job that these apps can do, then the (much) cheaper Elements will do it.
    The change is not easy though, especially if you have a long-standing and well thought out filing system of your own. The first thing I would strongly advise is that you experiment before making any decisions. So I would create a Library, import 300 or 400 shots and play. You might as well do this in iPhoto to begin with - though if you’re a serious hobbyist or a Pro then you'll find yourself looking further afield pretty soon. iPhoto is good for the family snapper, taking shots at birthdays and sharing them with friends and family.
    Next: If you're going to successfully use these apps you need to make a leap: Your files are not your Photos.
    The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
    Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
    When you process an image in iPhoto the file is never touched, instead your decisions are recorded in the database. When you view the image then the Master is presented with these decisions applied to it. That's why it's lossless. You can also have multiple versions and waste no disk space because they are all just listings in the database.
    These apps replace the Finder (File Browser) for managing your Photos. They become the Go-To app for anything to do with your photos. They replace Bridge too as they become a front-end for Photoshop.
    So, want to use a photo for something - Export it. Choose the format, size and quality you want and there it is. If you're emailing, uploading to websites then these apps have a "good enough for most things" version called the Preview - this will be missing some metadata.
    So it's a big change from a file-based to Photo-based management, from editing files to processing Photos and it's worth thinking it through before you decide.

  • I finally was successful in burning a CD of a slideshow I created in iPhoto, however, it is blurry. What is the best way to burn to a CD or DVD for clarity. Also, I realize if burned in iPhoto it will only be playable in iPhoto. Help! This is needed soon!

    I finally was successful in burning a CD of a slideshow I created in iPhoto, however, it is blurry. What is the best way to burn to a CD or DVD for clarity. Also, I realize if burned in iPhoto it will only be playable in iPhoto. Help! This is needed soon for a wedding reception!

    What version of iPhoto are you using?  How do you plan to view the slideshow at the wedding reception, on a TV screen?  If so then you will need to send the slideshow to iDVD and burn a disk from there.
    If you're in iPhoto 11 and the slideshow was created in the slideshow mode and not from an album, then go to the Share menu and select iDVD.  That will create a QT movie of the slideshow and import it into iDVD.
    In iDVD select your theme and setup the menu as you'd like.  If you want the movie to begin plahying immediately when the disk is inserted into the DVD player go into the Gallery mode and drag the movie into the Autostart  bin at the left.
    Click to view full size
    If you want the movie to loop continuously go to the Advanced menu and select Loop.
    Click to view full size
    When you're finished setting upb the iDVD project save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will allow you to check it with DVD Player before tryingto burn to disk.  Mount the disk imnage by double clicking on it and launch DVD Player and play.  If the movie plays as you want and everything is good you can  burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • IPhoto 9.0 won't create Slideshow after 10.6.4 OS update

    After the 10.6.4 OS update last week, iPhoto will not create a Slideshow. None of the photos selected show up, although the bar at the bottom shows the number of photos. None of the slideshow controls are active either.
    Also, a previously generated slide show has now disappeared.
    Luckily, we have several other Macs still running 10.5 in our office and I can work with those boxes, but this is a bit frustrating, since I was trying to generate a slideshow on a deadline project!

    First try deletingiPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder , launch iPhoto and try again. It's amazing how many issues have been fixed by recreating the preference file. It's not 100% but helps in many seemingly unrelated situations.

  • IPhoto 09 will no longer create slideshows.

    Most previously created slideshows seem to play fine.  However, iPhoto 09 won't create new slideshows.  Running OS X 10.6.8 on an iMac. ???  Any help will be appreciated.

    I'm having the save problem. Using iPhoto '09 (8.1.2) on iMac 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo ... OS X 10.9.5.
    I select an album, press the "+" at the bottom of the Source box, enter a name for the new slideshow and wait. Then nothing seems to happen. No addition to the Source listing. Number of pictures doesn't seem to make any difference.
    Appreciate any help/ suggestions.
