IPhoto export reduced sound

I made a family reunion slideshow of about 150 pictures and three songs. Using Preview I got it exactly the way I wanted it, with the music corresponding to certain groupings of pictures. After exporting it and playing it on Apple TV, I am very disappointed to find the export took it upon itself to start reducing the sound level about 30 seconds before the song ended, which ruins the effect. Also, in one place, the song lyrics no longer correspond with the appropriate pictures; they fall about five seconds after the pictures they matched with in Preview. The export took at least an hour, so it's not something I can afford to spend time twiddling with. Any solutions?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. A workaround would be to use an audio editor like the free Audacity, to join the three tracks into a new track and use it. Then the only fade out would be at the end of the slideshow. I usually put in a blank, black slide at the end so the music fades out and ends on a blank screen. Sort of Hollywoodish.

  • HT4718 After burning a slideshow from iPhoto export to a DVD, it will not play on my DVD player OS X 10.9.4

    iMac 27' OS X 10.9.4 I burned a slideshow from iPhoto export to a DVD and now it will not play back on anything. The player said Unknown disc. What can i do?

    I do find that using one of these programs will reduce the sharpness of the photos.
    Granted, I've never used iPhoto - I use Photo to Movie for slideshows and various versions of iMovie for videos, but my pics are excellent quality and my videos are shot in 1080p (better camera)  or 720p (small camera) and the results are superb on my TV using both iDVD and Toast. However, I do not encode in iDVD, I simply use it to add a theme and menus. The encoding is done by Photo to Movie, or iMovie 06 HD (the only version ever to process losslessly) and either/both are imported into iDVD as a complete .mov, or Toast.
    Since using those methods, I've never had a problem with the sharpness or crispness of my footage. My eyes cannot discern a difference between my "production" and true HD (unless of course I shook the camera while shooting, LOL).

  • Gallery Export.iPhoto Exporter locks export on iphoto plugin locks out export in iphoto 9.43

    i cannot export on iphoto, everytime i do, a plugin called Gallery Export.iPhoto Exporter locks it. It presents a register splash screen that only offers a register option. if i cancel it cancals all export options - if i register it says i have no internet! Im totally baffled! It never allows we to choose any other export options. When I looked for the programme on my mac i could find no sign of it anywhere. I looked in the plugins folder for iphoto and no sign. I tried copying a version from my other mac into the said folder but no change. Can anyone help? I have never used this plugin and only want to get back file export!

    Sounds like you've got a 3rd party Exporter there of some kind that needs to be removed or paid for.
    In the Export dialogue, how many options do you have in the place indicated?

  • Problems exporting lingo sound

    Hi
    I am trying to export a director movie, but have used lingo
    to control my sound files. I have managed to export the images to
    quicktime but can't get the sound to work. is there anyway of doing
    this? or do I have to recreate all my sound on the two visible
    channels. can anyone help?

    Director's export mechanism is rather dumb, scripts are not
    execued
    during export, the only practical way to export scripted
    sound and
    timing to video is to use a 3rd party screen recording
    application.

  • IPhoto Export to My Passport

    I exported my photos from iPhoto to My Passport external drive in order to make room on my MacBook Air.  The photos are still showing in iPhoto.  Do I need to delete the library?

    iPhoto Export leaves the original in place. You can delete them in iPhoto, then empty the Trash in iPhoto and then the trash on your Mac to completely free up the space.
    Another option you may want to consider would be the following: iPhoto '11: Move your iPhoto library to a new location

  • Iphoto export and transparency

    Hi People,
    Does anyone know how i can make my autoviewer slideshow which I am using with iphoto export have a transparent background so the iweb page behind shows through around the photos?
    Right now the frame colour and background colour in the webexport options are: background 181818 and framecolour 181818. Any advice would be appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Ben (Brazil)

    Ben:
    I'm not sure what you mean by autoviewer. Is that a 3rd party application or plugin? As far as creating a Quicktime movie file with a transparent background I've never heard of that capability being available in any application.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • IPhoto export broken?

    Since the Maverick updates, iPhoto "Export" no longer works.
    I can select a photo, go to the file menu, then select "Export"
    I still see the Export dialog window.
    However, when I click on the Export button, nothing happens.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    More importantly, is there a fix? I realize that I can work around it with "show photo in Finder", but I'd like Export to work properly.
    Thanks!

  • IPhoto: Export videos with titles

    All of my videos are in iPhoto, and I've added titles to all of the videos within iPhoto.
    However, when I EXPORT these videos to my desktop, iPhoto doesn't export them with the titles that I've assigned to them in iPhoto.
    iPhoto exports them with their generic title (such as "img_0015.mov") that they originally had when I first shot the videos.
    How can I get iPhoto to export all of these videos with their titles intact?

    Are you checking this checkbox in the slideshow settings pane?

  • Sound has no valid device sound path although exporting device sounds was requested in the export settings. This sound will be ignored.

    I have bopped around the forums here for a while now, and while other people seem to have had the same problem as I am having in the past, I come to find that all of the solutions that have worked for others, do not in fact, work for me.
    I am running Flash Professional CS6 On an Acer Aspire. 4 Gigs of RAM, 500 Gigs of HD.
    The exact problem that I am having is as follows:
    I record a sound bit in Audacity, Export the sound as and MP3 File on my main computer Hard Drive.
    go to File>Import>Import to Library, I locate the file that I had created, then select it to be imported to my Library.
    I then create a new layer in my timeline, Label it as sound, place a new key frame into the timeline layer at the place in the animation that i hope the sound would start, set the audio sync to stream instead of event, then press CTRL+ENTER, which initiates the Test Movie function.
    At this time, the "Output" box Pops up and it states,
    "Sound has no valid device sound path although exporting device sounds was requested in the export settings. This sound will be ignored."
    No sound is played and i cannot, for the life of me, figure out why. I have tried all the troubleshoots that i can find online. I checked the publishing settings and nothing is being Overridden, I've attempted to untick the "export device sounds" option, but it is grayed out and cannot be toggled. I have attempted switching the MP3 format sound clip to a WAV format sound clip. I have attempted to re-recording the sound clip and re-importing the clip to the library. I have checked my computers speakers and everything is in working order and i have even checked to see if other projects sound works.
    I pulled up a previous project that i had finished a while back that had loads of sound imported the exact same way and it all works exactly as i expect it too. The sound plays, there is not "Output" box claiming an issue. It seems that the issue, whatever it might be, is stuck to this project itself.
    I have even started a new project, imported and placed both the MP3 and the WAV files into the sound layer created, CTRL+ENTER, and it works just fine without problem.
    If there is anything that i might have accidentally messed up in this projected that you know about, like settings that may have been changed that would cause such an annoying and seemingly unfixable issue, please let me know. I really do not want to loose this project over such an utterly stupid error.

    I've moved your question to the Flash Pro CC forum.

  • After exporting, the sound in some areas goes crazy

    So like the title explains, after exporting the sound in a couple of areas goes crazy, like static. I tried twice, still the same result.
    NB: I exported in H.264 in Apple devices 1080p, MBP retina 15 inch 2.6 GHz i7, FCPX 10.0.8
    Thank you

    When in FCPX, the sound works fine (in mono) but when exported in H.264, the sound becomes static.
    I recently had a similar problem, with Final Cut playing the audio fine but in the exported file the sound was static. The source of the problerm was that the audio was just slightly less than 48 kHz. After using Compressor to transcode the media with audio at 48 kHz and importing the transcoded file into Fianl Cut, the exported audio was fine.

  • IMovie exports only sound to camera

    Good evening everybody!
    In the past I successfully exported projects to my camera.
    For the first time I got this problem: iMovie exports the sound, but freezes the first frame of the movie and leaves it at that.
    I tried it in two ways: by "send to camera" and by "show video on camera monitor" and simply pushing the "record" button of the camera.
    When I loaded a different movie and did exactly the same thing, all went well.
    Back to my new film: the same again.
    What's different with my new film?
    Has anybody got an idea? I'd appreciate any help!
    Greetings from the middle of Germany

    Hello Sir Torsten,
    Glad you got it to work. I really think that Apple never intended for us to make long complex movies...I think they though iMovie would be a fun app to make short little entertaining movies so they didn't carefully investigate all the nuances before releasing it.
    For the most part, iMovie has worked great for most people. Just reading these discussions you can get some idea of the various projects that are being created and it is really remarkable from such a simple program. And, the other fantastic thing to remember is that so many of the problems we encounter DO have solutions or work-arounds!
    BTW, it is now cooler and wetter here, too

  • IPhoto export photo quality

    Is there a way to manually dictate the JPG image quality upon iphoto export to web? The images the automatic web portfolio is very poor. Quality 5 at best.
    There must be a way to hard set this export feature.

    There are two quality levels involved when you add iPhoto photos to an iWeb photo page: 1 - the quality of the image used for the iWeb slideshow presentation and that of the file provided for download from that site. Which are you concerned with?
    What's the URL of your site so we can examine the photos first hand? Also what are the pixel dimensions of the photos that you are transferring to iWeb?

  • Iphoto export size

    What are the actual pixel sizes of the small, medium and large iPhoto export (jpeg) options?  I have already read what the suggested purpose of each size is, but I can not find the numeric pixel size the will be exported.
    Thanks

    It's a factor of the size of the Original image, so it depends on that.
    However, in the same place in the dialogue box you can choose to export to a specific size too.
