Iphoto slideshow into iLife

I made a slideshow in iphoto. I was able to export it and open the slideshow in quicktime. I burned the slideshow onto a DVD. The slideshow works on the computer but not on the DVD Player. I have been looking onlinve for a solution. I have a newer Mac that does not have iDVD. if I install ILife will this help solve the problem. Sorry if I am not explaining correctly. I am very new at using a Mac. I need the DVD to be able to play on DVD players as well as Computers..

Since you have a newer Mac that did not include iDVD you will have to purcase it from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.
Why iLife 09? If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
Next open iDVD, select a theme and create a new project. Drag the iPhoto slideshow (should have been expoirted at Size=Medium or Large) into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Then follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

How can I make an iPhoto slideshow into a DVD in Lion?

How can I make an iPhoto slideshow into a DVD in Lion?

If you MacBook Pro came with Lion preinstalled then you will not have a copy of iDVD. That's because iDVD and iWeb have been discontinued by Apple and is not longer being included in iLife.
You can purchase a copy from Amazon.com: iLive 11.
If you do have Lion this post will self destruct in 10, 9, 8... seconds and you can follow Terence's directionsl
As for iDVD the following is a recommended workflow to follow;

How can i turn an iphoto slideshow into a book?

I am wondering how I can turn an iphoto slideshow into a book?

No - you can make a book from the same photos but not form the slide show - smiply elect the same photos (probably in the album you made the slide show from) and make a new book from them

Insert an iPhoto SlideShow into iDVD

I do not succeed in inserting a SlideShow from iPhoto into iDVD including audio and slide effects. Only pictures will be inserted. Even exporting the slideshow from iPhoto into a QuickTime movie is losing the audio and slide effects. Can anyone give some advice what's going wrong?

You cannot import an iPhoto Slideshow into iDVD and keep the audio and transition effects from iPhoto.
See this: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8828619&#8828619
You need to create the slideshow directly in iDVD, and add the audio and transitions from withing iDVD.
Your transitions must be the same between the photos.
It is reported here that you can do this with Quick Time: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10356386&#10356386

Keynote '08: How to export an iPhoto slideshow into Keynote

Is it possible to export an iphoto slideshow into keynote?
Thanks!

Answered my own question! Exported iPhoto slideshow to desktop - where it appeared as a .mov file -- then dragged & dropped that into Keynote. It plays there, photos & music exactly as designed in iPhoto - remote works to start and stop also! Perfect!

Is it possible to import an iPhoto slideshow into an iPad?

Hi Constance,
You would first need to export the slideshow from iPhoto as a Quicktime movie.
Then you can view it on your iPad.
Here's how:

Can I Import iPhoto slideshow into FCP?

I wish to import a slideshow of a wedding to add to DV footage which ultimately wil be exported to iDVD. Trouble is, every time I import the slideshow it requires contstant rendering, and no matter how much I tweak the sequence settings- it still causes problems ie- constantly requires rendering, won't play properly- PAINFULLY slow... grrr. Any help appreciated in finding the right button? Be kind! I am sure the answer must be transparently obvious, but my manuals have not helped
Ta again
Martin

Many thanks for your help- my problem with iPhoto was that I could only create a sideshow with one music track-when a very long slideshow needed 3. I managed to export the slideshow using compressor turning the long slideshow into a DV file which FCP happily accepted. No doubt there is an easier way but I did not find it.
Guess I'm the guy who goes for the scenic route
ta again for your thoughts

Inserting iphoto slideshow into fcp project

Is it possible to insert an iphoti slideshow into a fcphd 4.5 project? A friend hired me to create a slideshow for her son's funeral and then to videotape the funeral. Now I would like to insert the slideshow into the video of the funeral but haven't the slightest clue how to do so.
Any help would be MOST appreciated!
Thanks in advance,

You can't as far as I can see...
Right, and I should have realized that when I put the screenshot up.
Sorry. Another reason not to do the slideshow in iPhoto.
One alternative, I guess, is to burn the iPhoto slideshow to DVD using the Share -> Send to iDVD command. Then you can rip that DVD back into QuickTime using DVDxDV or ffmpegX or something else.

How do I get my iPhoto slideshow into iWeb

I made a slideshow in iPhoto, set to music, and I want to get it into iWeb. I see options in iPhoto "help" for exporting photos and photo albums, but not for exporting slideshows, unless I want to export to iDVD. Is this a necessary intermediate step? Thanks!

Hi CrannieM,
Select the slideshow in the source column and go to File>export
choose the size...smallest is the best for the web.
Caveats to this:
if the slideshow contains a lot of photos and transitions and music it will be a large size.
if you used songs purchased from the ITMS others will be asked for your password in order to hear the music. (I think you will even get a message on exporting now that the music will not be heard by others or something to that extent. In order to use purchased music you have to do some work arounds first.
Once you get your Quicktime movie, drag it into the movie template in iWeb.

Importing iPhoto Slideshow into DVD SP3

Sorry if this is a basic &/or repeated question. I've designed and built a slideshow in iPhoto 5.0.4 and set it for iDVD/TV output (4:3). When I bring the resulting quicktime mov file into DVDSP, it horizontally squishes the movie. Is this because the nature of square versus rectangular pixels? I've tried bringing the file into quicktime pro and adding some horizontal length to compensate for this (720 to 760), and though it saves the file to that size, it decidedly doesn't show that way in DVDSP (still views as 720). I've looked in the manual and self-help books for DVDSP 3 & iPhoto to no avail. Probably an easy answer I'm missing. Thanks for any ideas you can offer. -M.

Thanks for replying. 720 x 480 is indeed the specs I'm using to export the slideshow from iPhoto. Yet for some reason, when viewing it in DVDSP, it horizontally compresses the movie. (Squishes it.) Is there something I'm missing on the DVDSP end?

Importing iphoto slideshows into imovie without degradation?

I'm sure this has been asked before but I can not find an answer... I have created slideshows in iphoto and when I export/import into imovie they are horrible degraded and pixelated. Is there any way to import them and keep their quality from iphoto? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I know I can do Ken Burns on pictures directly in Imovie, but I would have to re-edit all of my portrait oriented photos so that they aren't cropped when the KB effect is applied and I'd rather not - I am happy with how the slideshows turn out in iphoto - if only they didn't look horrible once exported!

I exported my slideshows as quicktime movies and imported them into iMovie as movie clips. They look good in playback. Of course I'm having other problems laying music over it, but it may be a problem unrelated to the Quicktime .mov files.

Bringing Quicktime movies or iphoto slideshows into ipod video

Thanks!

How do I get an iphoto slideshow into mobile me?

How do I get an iPhoto slide show (complete with audio, etc) published to my MobileMe?

Import the movie into iPhoto and then create a MMe gallery in iPhoto with the movie in it.
However, you have a greater versatility in the MMe gallery coming from iMovie. You can have multiple versions/sizes of the same movie that will fit a greater variety of internet connection speeds.
This is an example: iMovie to MMe

IPhoto slideshow imported into iMovie - photos no longer fit in frame

I imported an iPhoto slideshow into iMovie. The event that is created matches the iPhoto slideshow. However, when I drop the iPhoto slideshow into into the new project, I am losing the tops and bottoms of my photos. For most of the photos this is okay, but for some it end up chopping off heads! I have gone back to iPhoto and adjusted photos to add dead space at top/bottom of photos, but this is not possible in all cases.
I exported from iPhoto using Export/Display mode per the instructor in the One to One class.
This project is a workaround to my original problem of distortion issues when I created the slideshow directly in iMovie.
Have a hard deadline to meet, any help would be appreciated!

When creating a slideshow in iPhoto (for sharing), you can select an appropriate aspect ratio to suit your target, i.e., where you intend to use the slideshow.
After clicking the + button in the bottom left corner of iPhoto and selecting Slideshow, click on the Settings tab. At the base of the Slideshow Settings window you can select the aspect ratio. Mine shows the following choices:
This screen (16:10)
HDTV (16:9)
TV (4:3)
iPhone (3:2)
When creating a slideshow that I intend to import to iMovie '09 I always select the HDTV setting (16:9). This works well, providing you initially position individual slides appropriately in your iPhoto slideshow, e.g, to prevent heads being chopped off!
