(iPhoto 9.6) How do I mute all videos in a slideshow?

I have some vacation pictures and videos that I have put in a slideshow. I also have some music playing in the background. The problem is that the audio in the videos gets in the way, so to speak, whenever they are presented, so I want to mute the videos using iPhoto.

That's not a feature of iphoto.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie is on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price:
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $99
Final Cut Pro X $299
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

How do i mute all sounds except alarm

I want to mute all sounds and alerts except for my alarm so I don't get bothered by sounds all night long. How do I do that?

To switch between ring and silent mode: Flip the Ring/Silent switch on the side of iPhone. When set to silent, iPhone doesn’t play any ring, alert, or effects sounds. It does,however, play alarms set using Clock.

How can I mute my video I import to imovie? I only want music in my video

I'd like to mute the video I import to imovie...how can I do this? I only want the music to be audible - too much of my voice on the video with my kids and think it's distracting!

Double click on the clip to bring up inspector click on audio. Bring clip audio to zero or what ever percent you want to lower it too
Or you can select all clips and click on the blue inspector and you can change all at once.

How do I PLAY ALL videos on iPad mini with iOS7?

I updated my IPad mini to iOS7 and now the play button has disappeared that used to be at the top of the list of videos in the video app. There doesn't seem to be a way to continuously play all videos. Does anyone know how to do it now? Thank you!

I was the fan of this feature until ios 6 version. I have two mini ipads @ my home for my kids. It helped my kids a lot to play all the episodes within a tv show. Apple some how decided kill the features linked to someone's patent in ios 7, thereby they can avoid paying royalty fee to the patent holder. Even from the initial days there are lot of such features missed out in ipad, iphone or MAC. You might overlook these features as a consumer.
I will be surprised if Apple listens to this customer feedback.
I am seeing the same question being raised in many forums including within apple forums.

IPhoto slideshow - how to mute all videos?

Hi there
I've put together an iPhoto 11 slideshow to be displayed during a party. This includes photos and videos. However, since this is really a background type thing, rather than the focus of the party, I don't want the audio from the videos to be audible (especially since they'll inevitably be played several times during the party). I'm using the same Mac to play music via iTunes, which of course I do want to be audible.
So far I can't find any way to avoid the video audio coming through and interfering with the music. Even if I adjust the video of the clips in iPhoto, it doesn't seem to remember this setting and goes back to full volume as soon as I switch to another clip.
Since iTunes and iPhoto both use the same sound device as selected in System Preferences, how can I make this work?
Note that I don't want to use the iPhoto music features, as I'll be controlling iTunes remotely via my iPod
So far it seems my only option may be to use the iPod stand-alone to supply the music, but this will be a major pain as I'll have to keep running back to the DJ booth to select tracks etc.
Any tips are most welcome!
Cheers
Chris

In the end I had to use a free app called MPEG Streamclip to remove the audio. Even this was more complicated than I'd like, as I had to re-encode the files into a format chosen in the settings (ie rather than keep it the same as the source files by default). So, I'm not sure if the files are as optimal as they could be. One of the files wouldn't work like this, and I had to do it by exporting it as a one-movie slideshow. This took an incredibly long time, I it's a good job I didn't do this for all 15 video clips I have! Anyway the end result was what I was after...
....except....
I now seem to have a more fundamental problem. All the videos seem to play back very jerkily when in full screen or slideshow mode, compared to the standard iPhoto album view (ie the mode when you double-click a thumbnail and then hit play). This is true both for the non-audio files and the original un-modified ones!
I don't know what's causing this, especially on a Macbook 2.4GHz with 4GB RAM and a hybrid SSD/7200 rpm HD, and after a fresh reboot with no other apps running!!
Any ideas of what I can do to improve the playback?

How to easily mute all sounds but still use phone?

For the life of me, why doesn't the volume control on the side of the iPhone go down all the way to mute like the iPad does. There is no one convenient place to go to turn off sounds while in a meeting but yet still use the phone without turning it off. Turning it off is not an option for a lot of people.

How can I remove all video clips from my library?

I noticed my library is up to 23 gigs! Last I checked, it was around 9. The only thing I can think of is that my new canon camera takes great videos, and all summer I've been using it on vacations and things where I didn't have my video camera. So, I'd like a way to find them so I can drag them to a folder I make on my desktop. Then I can incorporate into iMovie if I want, or just burn a dvd or something.
I have TONS and TONS of photos, and it would take me quite some hours to manually scroll through looking for the movie icons in the browser.
Any ideas on how to view ONLY the movies for example?

SynterX
When you import movies they automatically get a 'movie' keyword, so: New Smart Album : Keyword is movie
The Select them, export them using the File -> Export dialogue and when you're sure they exported safely, trash them from iPhoto.

Creative Zen 8 gig - How do I play all videos at one time and skip to next vid

I was able to do this with the Creative Zen V plus 2 gig, why can't I with the large and more expensi've one?
THanks,
John

I have the same question as the original poster.
I am loading the zen with music video files only (wma) and would like to have the same playback options as mp3s.
I understand video file dont have "tags" like mp3s used to facilitate searcing for tracks eg. artist,album etc and i wonder if this could be a problem.
The question is...How do i get the player to play a list (or folder contents)) of video files either randomely or consecuti'vely without having to do it manualy for each and every video ie set up a playlist. Or is this not possible
Thanks

How to mute ALL audio in one single go in an edited multicam clip?

Hi there
I'm having to replace some audio in an already edited multicam clip. (there are mulitple audio parts I'm replacing by the way)
How can I mute ALL of the audio in one go, as I have about 400 cuts and am currently having to mute one by one per cut.
thanks

Easy. Select them all. In the inspector, click the Audio tab. Under "Channel configuration", uncheck the box which would say something like "400 selected clips".

Mute all sound out of FCP

How do I mute all sound coming out of FCP. Not on an individual sequence or clip. All the time. Is there an 'Mute All' button or option anywhere?
Thanks

Back in the day...
I had a mini headphone jack adapter that wasn't hooked to any headphones. I'd just pop that in the audio jack on the front of my computer and leave it there. That was back when you couldn't turn the startup sound off.
Maybe that would work for you too. You know... those iPod ear buds only seem to work for so long before they crud out... I've got a mess of them that I never use anymore... I'd just cut the end off one of those... hmmm... sounds like an eBay sale for sure!!!

How do you match the video duration of multiple clips to match the audio?

If 'Windows Movie Maker' could do this..... come on! There's gotta be a way. I have multiple video clips that equal a duration of say 10 minutes. My audio file (that consists of 2 songs) equals say 7 minutes. HOW DO I SELECT ALL VIDEO CLIPS AND MATCH THEIR TOTAL DURATION TO EQUAL THAT OF THE AUDIO?

HOW DO I SELECT ALL VIDEO CLIPS AND MATCH THEIR TOTAL DURATION TO EQUAL THAT OF THE AUDIO?
It's called "editing".
If you don't want to do it, hire someone or fire up Windows Movie Maker.
On the other hand, Apple seems to be headed down the "design the software for the lowest common denominator" path lately. Perhaps Final Cut X can do this? You might ask over in that forum.

Running itunes 10.6.1.7. did reorg of lib to new struct. reorg left all video podcasts in old folder. I cannot view video podcasts itunes or download. help please.

I just installed itunes 10.6.1.7. on a new PC connected an external hard drive containing my itunes library and pointed to my library on an external hard drive.
I also did reorganization of my library structure via "organize library" menu option. The reorg left all video podcasts in the old podcast folder and will not let me copy them to the new podcast folder.
From the itunes store I cannot select a new video podcast and download and view it in itunes. The podcast will show up but the file or episode has a "GET" button next to it and never shows it as available to view in itunes. I have attempted to download many time with no success.
I have podcasts that are all video podcasts and some that are mixed audio podcasts and video podcasts. in both cases the video podcasts remained in the original folder location.
The video podcasts are not in movies or in tv shows. All music is present and accounted for that I know.
How can I restore all video podcasts previously downloaded and view them on itunes or an ipod?
Can I create a video podcast option in itunes?
Please help.

Issue solved - It turns out that the QuickTime version on my PC was 6.5 and I needed to update to version 7.6 or higher to allow videos to play in iTunes. I updated to QuickTime version 7.7 and then added the old podcast folder to iTunes while in podcasts. This found all video podcast content and then the auto reorg moved all folders to the new podcast directory. For the videos I manually moved earlier, I had to move (not copy) them back to the old directory or folder then add that old folder and they were now in the right directory and viewable in iTunes.

I am unable to view some (but not all) videos in Firefox. But I can view ALL videos when I use Internet Explorer. Please help. I do not want to use IE.

as stated, I am unable to view some videos in Firefox, but I am able to view them when I use Internet Explorer. How can I view all videos when using Firefox. Thank you.

That is Flash.
You do have the Flash player installed according to your More system details list, so Flash should be working.

Hi jt - Alex was actually referring to video clips in iPhoto not appearing in the item "iPhoto Videos" in the Events Library in iMovie - thanks for your post though (the 2 words are very similar).
