IPhoto Slideshow default settings:

iPhoto6
Is there any way to change settings for "playing each slide" for LESS than 1 second?
Is there any way to change the settings to be individually set for EACH picture... (1 picture for 3 seconds, another for 4?)

No, one second is a minimum.

No. These are global settings.
For that level of fine control you might consider making your slideshow in iMovie or in an app such as PhotoToMovie.

  • IPhoto Slideshow music settings/Front Row

    I recently purchase a Mac Mini to use as a media center PC. I have imported photo's into iPhoto and configured slide shows with appropriate music ... in iPhoto all these settings work fine. When I access these photo's via Front Row
    however, each of the slide shows plays with Minuet in G and my iPhoto music settings are ignored. any thoughts would be most welcome on how to have my iPhoto slide show music recognized with Front Row.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Well I may have found my answer ... If I run slideshows in Front Row from
    Photos/Events I have the Minuet in G problem ... if I create albums in iPhoto and run the Event from within an album, the music selected in this album slideshow holds in Front Row ... at any rate it works for me!

  • IPhoto Slideshow Export Settings for FCP 7

    I made a slideshow using iPhoto '11 that I need to import into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 so that it can be merged into a longer sequence with a few other things that will eventually be burned onto a DVD using Studio Pro and then set to play in a continuous loop.
    My question is, what settings should I use exporting out of iPhoto? The photos were all taken with a Canon 5D. The sequence that I'll be importing the slideshow into will also have a sequence in it that was shot using the Sony HXR-NX5U. So, the native settings for that clip will be 1920x1080, square pixels, 23,98 fps, Apple ProRes 422 codec. I exported my iPhoto slideshow to match the settings as best as possible - 1920x1080 HD 16:9 was the closest option. I think the one difference is that the slideshow plays at 30 fps while the sequence matches the main video at 23.98 fps.
    My issue is that the slideshow plays fine in iPhoto and even as a stand-alone movie loaded in QuickTime, but once I import it into Final Cut, I get motion artifacts. Even if I bring the slideshow into its own sequence, with the sequence settings matching those of the slideshow, the artifacts are still there. I can get rid of them using the Flicker Filter, but is there a way to resolve this issue during the iPhoto export? Should I be Deinterlacing the source video, leaving it as a progressive movie or selecting interlaced scaling? If it needs interlaced scaling, should I select upper or lower?
    Or, are there better settings to get this slideshow to play better in Final Cut?

    Yes. What we're setting up a booth at an upcoming event and have some promo videos we made, as well as the slideshows. The purpose of bringing them all into FCP was so I could put them all together in the timeline and export them as one big movie, which I'd them bring into DVD Studio Pro and set it to loop over and over.
    Unless, of course, I could keep all the movies separate and create a "Play" button that plays movie #1, but modify the end jump to go to movie #2. Modify the end jump of movie #2 to go to movie #3, the end jump of movie #3 go to #4 and have the end jump of #4 go back to #1.
    Would that work? If so, I can just put everything into Compressor.

  • Slideshow Default settings problem

    The Default Setting window pane does not look the same as it does in the instruction manual. My window pane is missing many option choices. What am I doing wrong?

    A quick guess is that you are not using the same theme as what is shown in the instruction manual. Different themes have different default settings.
    If this isn't the answer post back telling us what theme you are using and what instruction manual you are referring to (page number would be a plus)

  • IPhoto Slideshow Music Settings Issue

    I'm having an issue with Slideshows in iPhoto where there will be a long list called "Folders" when I am setting up the music. This happens in both the actual Slideshow and the creating of a Slideshow. I've installed iPhoto on 3 other computers and all of those computers did NOT have a Folder at the bottom, where mine does and opens into this huge mess. Scrolling manually through this takes a long while and makes setting up Slideshows a lot slower. Does anyone else have this issue and or a fix? Thanks!
    Here is an image if you want to see the issue:

  • IPhoto Slideshow music settings

    Hi, I'm new to this after just installingiPhoto '06. I tried to create a slideshow with a music background. I have read all the "help" ideas but nowhere on my screen can I find the "settings" button to add music from my collection. Am I dumb or what ? Help Please.

    Hi outrigger,
    What kind of slideshow? Did you do an "on the fly" by selecting an album and hitting the play button? Did you do a permanent slideshow by selecting an album and hitting the slideshow icon? If you make the window bigger do you see the Music icon for the permanent slideshow?

  • Does a Time Machine back up iPhoto with default settings? Because my (TM) did not back up iPhoto? I was shocked to find this out after my iMac crash!

     

    This is a known issue with Time Machine. I suggest backing up iPhoto Library separately and not rely on Time Machine to do so. In fact if it were up to me I would not let you use Time Machine. I would recommend using one of the following for your regular and scheduled backups:
    Suggested Backup Software
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner
      2. Get Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. Synk Pro
      6. Tri-Backup
    Others may be found at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • Is it possible to change the default settings for the slideshow?

    The default settings for any new slideshow use the dreaded Ken Burns effect and some awful background music from a standard library. Having to turn these things off for every new slideshow I start is driving me nuts. Perhaps preferring no music accompaniment and a static photo on the screen is for some people rather boring - but I would prefer it, at least as a starting point. If anyone can help, I'd be very grateful. Thanks
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   iPhoto 6

    Choose "Export" and then the QuickTime option.
    It will make a 4 track video with a simple "fade" effect between photos. You can set the dimensions and the duration of your photos. You can also remove the music or add your own from your iTunes Library (no purchased music if you intend to share these movies).

  • How to save changes to settings for photos in an iPhoto slideshow?

    How can I save the settings to individual slides in an iPhoto slideshow?  I followed the instructions for changing the zoom and pan, but when I exit iPhoto an relaunch it the settings revert to some default.  Help!

    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.

  • Can't find default settings for slideshows

    Aloha--
    I'm running iPhoto 5.0.4, and want to set two defaults: my music, and my transitions (none). Every time I select a folder of photos and click "slideshow," however, the slideshow comes in withe "Jesu" from the sample music folder, transition - "default:dissolve", and the Ken Burns effect. I have looked at other posts on default settings, and they say (and show) a "save settings" button for the music choice. My settings have nothing like that.
    This is Apple! Don't tell me there's no way to set these two simple defaults.

    My error. The top of my page read 6 when I logged in yesterday and didn't check it further. Sorry about that.
    I don't think you can set a default set for new slideshows, only those that have been created. But that's for when you click on the Play button at the bottom of the Source pane next to the "+" button. That one has a Save option but it's only for that one folder of photos. Each new folder has to be saved also.
    You can get rid of the default sound track and replace it with something you'd like as the default. Open the iPhoto 5 application, Control-click on it and select Show package contents. Then navigate to the Contents/Resources/Music folder. There are the default music tracks. You can move the out and put in a couple of your own favorite tracks.
    Sorry about the mix up.

  • What settings do I need to show iphoto slideshow on flatscreen tv -- I have 2007 software

    I have tried to change the settings. The settings in Display (such as 600X800) don't match what comes up on the Samsung tv screen. The tv shows my screensaver when I connect but won't play the iphoto slideshow

    If you connect an external monitor (which may also be a TV or a projector or any other similar device), once you go to system preferencs / displays, you should see settings for each monitor, i.e. internal and external. Do you see this? It is not clear what you mean by ‘I have tried to change the settings’ (how did you do that? explain); also unclear the phrase ‘The tv shows my screensaver when I connect but won't play the iphoto slideshow’. Please explain, does it play on the internal monitor, but not on the external or what?

  • Best settings for iPhoto Slideshow Export

    My aim is to export an iPhoto slideshow (iPhoto ‘11 v9.3.1) and import into the FCP7 sequence with the best possible quality.
    Original video source - Sony camcorder - DV PAL (16.9 anamorphic) imported into FCP7 with a sequence preset of DV PAL 48 KHz Anamorphic (720 x 576)
    Stills for slideshow - 3648 x 2736 Jpeg
    I realise I will lose significant quality to fit the restraints of the DV sequence and so after some tests the best result was through a custom export from iPhoto
    Compression - H.264
    Frame rate changed to 25
    Keyframes & data rate - Automatic
    Quality - Best
    Encoding - Best Quality (multi-pass)
    Size - 768 x 576 SD
    A few thoughts -
    Are there other settings for better results?
    The resulting QT movie had a slightly inferior quality inside Final Cut than when played outside with Quicktime Player
    Any movement over the stills created a strobing/flickering effect inside Final Cut - I have never been able to sort this problem out and now no longer set keyframes to move over stills.
    I have tried a third party software (Industrial Revolution CoverFlux2) with no great improvement re flickering problem and general quality
    The sequence is 16.9 but any attempt to export the slideshow to fit (eg 720 x 576 16.9) stretches the images.

    Original video source - Sony camcorder - DV PAL (16.9 anamorphic) imported into FCP7 with a sequence preset of DV PAL 48 KHz Anamorphic (720 x 576)
    Stills for slideshow - 3648 x 2736 Jpeg
    You're already in FCP7 so why go to iPhoto and then back to FCP?  That just adds layers of encoding which will reduce the final image quality.  As TD pointed out keep it in FCP
    OT

  • Poor photo quality when exporting iPhoto slideshow

    Does anyone know which setting produces the best quality for an mp4 when creating a DVD using iDVD? I put a slideshow together using iPhoto because I wanted to use the iPhoto scrapbook theme. I exported the iPhoto slideshow using the highest quality (standard display setting) which produces an mp4 1422 x 800 (H.264, 30 fps, 7 Mbps, ~907 MB).
    The iDVD project settings are:
    1) Best Performance
    2) High Quality
    3) Professional Quality
    What doesn't make sense to me is that #1 claims to produce a total ~1GB DVD with a 995 MB movie and shows the Quality level as green.
    When selecting #2, the claim is a total ~643 DVD with a 575 MB movie with Quality in the red.
    When choosing #3, the numbers stay the same as #2 but the Quality goes to yellow.
    Why wouldn't the higher quality settings produce a larger DVD with less compression? Which setting really gives the highest quality?
    The default is #1 (Best Performance) which clearly produces the lowest quality video when compared to the mp4 export from iPhoto (appeared with a higher quality) and when compared with playing the slideshow directly in iPhoto (appeared with the highest quality).
    Would the quality be any higher if I export the iPhoto slideshow using a customized setting? iPhoto custom settings allow the choice of about 10 different compression types from Animation, Apple Intermediate Codec, to DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, to H.264, to MPEG-4 Video, to None (and others not listed here). The frame Rate can also be adjusted from Current (whatever that means), to 8, to 60. The Compressor Quality can be adjusted from Least to Best. Would "None" as the compression type produce the best quality when producing the iDVD?
    The ultimate goal is to display the slideshow on the project at my church. The easiest way to do this is to put it on a DVD. But as described above, the quality decrease from iPhoto direct play of the slideshow is noticeable when moving to the .mp4 and extremely noticeable when putting the .mp4 in iDVD and playing the DVD back.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions or links to better documentation.

    you just cannot export your slideshows in order to burn DVDs, with the same quality
    That's an issue with iDVD and the DVD standards. All DVD media is downsized to 640 x 480 or the wide screen 720 x 480. It's the nature of DVDs, not iPhoto. If you use the Ken Burns effect in iPhoto you will need to use the largest 4:3 ratio images possible so the zoom and scan of the KB effect is working on the most number of pixels possible.
    I've found that the best final image resolution is obtained by creating the slideshow in iDVD from stills imported from iPhoto at the 4:3 size ratio. The downside to that method is no KB effect and only one transition per slideshow. I play those types of slideshows on a 50" 1020p HD Panasonic plasma TV and the images are quite good. But good is in the eye of the beholder.
    See Jim Symon's post in this iDVD topic: Re: High-definition DVDs. Also search his other posts as he was working out a workflow using Photo to Movie to create high def movies and burn them with iDVD. As I recall he found and posted his workflow at one time.

  • No reflections in iPhoto slideshow

    I do not have any reflections in iPhoto slideshow, how can I reslove this, do the images have to be a certain quality. Also, annoyingly and probably my lack of knowledge but I have to set the settings for slideshow everytime, is there a master preference setting for iPhoto? I just don't care much for that Ken Burns, although I am sure he is a nice guy.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. When you double click a thumbnail you're attempting to enter the Edit mode. What you're experiencing may be corrected by one of several fixes.
    First download and run BatChmod on your iPhoto Library folder as shown here. This will repair permissions on the folder and unlock any locked files that may be in it.
    Another fix is to select one of the files in the Original folder, bring up the Info window (Command-I) and set Preview as the default application. Then click on the Apply to all.. button.
    Another fix, strange as it may seem, is to just open and close each folder containing the original files. Don't ask me why it worked.
    Here is one thread with another possible solution (the second link is to download the file to replace in your system folder):

  • IPhoto Slideshow Format

    Hi,
    I'm pretty advanced with computers in general and have limited knowledge of iPhoto. I'll try to offer as many specifics as I can - some may be irrelevant. I am using a PowerBook G4 1.57 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 30" Cinema Display set to 2560 X 1600. I am running Mac OS X v 10.4.2 and am using iPhoto version 5.0.4 (263).
    I am putting together a slideshow with around 130 photos. Some of the photos are quite large in their native format (3008 X 2000 pixels). I set the 'Default Settings for the entire slideshow' using the cog settings button to play each slide for 3 seconds with a dissolve transition and the speed for the dissolve in the middle. When playing the slidewhow with the 'Slideshow Format' set to current display, the slideshow presents as expected. However, when the Slideshow format is set to '4:3 iDVD, TV' the slides play for around 6 or 7 seconds each. Is this because of the size of the photos? I read on Apple's web site that the larger the size of the file, the more trouble iPhoto has displaying them quickly.
    Any advice here? My slideshow is timed beautifully to my soundtrack, but when I change the format to export to iDVD its awfull.
    Thanks!

    Dino,
    If your goal is to burn a DVD slideshow for viewing on a TV I would first crop all of the images to 4:3 format. If you don't care about TV format, keep the images in their full size and enjoy them on your great monitor.
    Hope this helped!
    Sam
