IPhoto Slideshows on an iPod Video

I have a 60GB iPod Video and just bought an iMac (Intel). I've put together a slideshow both in iDVD and in iPhoto and put music to it that I legally purchased on iTunes. I can't get the slideshow from either application to work on the iPod. I tried to export it as a quicktime movie but it only came up as a black screen on the ipod. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. To put comments/titles on an iDVD slideshow the slideshow must be created in iDVD from stills imported from iPhoto. Slideshows from iPhoto are QT movie files and they can't have comments added by iDVD.
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.

Quicktime iPhoto Slideshow to iPod

Took iPhoto slideshow and exported it to iDVD. In the process it creates a Quicktime movie which can be moved to iTunes video and played. But when iPod is connected it says it cannot load it. Message suggests I convert format for iPod but only conversion option I can find is to convert to ACC, which I tried but it said file was protected. I'm a fairly green user and can't understand why a file create by iPhoto which can be used in iTunes cannot be accepted by iPod.
Any help out there?

If you want to sync the slideshow as a movie, it must conform to an iPod compatible movie format -- i.e., either MPEG-4/AAC or H.264/AAC format. To do this, simply select the file in question and use the "Convert Selection for iPod" option under either the advanced menu or the right-click contextual menu.

IPhoto slideshow using mini-dvi to video adapter

When using the mini-dvi to video adapter to connect to my widescreen tv (via composite), to show iPhoto slideshows, the transistions between slides dont apear and there are no ken burns effects. The slideshow runs fine on my MacBook display (ie when not conected to the tv), and the is no other distortion or flickering (as reported in other threads), this seems odd to me or is it just a limitation of analogue output.

It means that the issue resides in your existing Library.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Video Issues in iPhoto Slideshow

Hello Everyone,
If anyone could help me out with the following problem I would greatly appreciate it:
I am creating a slideshow in iPhoto, I have a combination of photos and short video clips within this particular slideshow. I have the slideshow starting with pictures, then the middle portion are a few short clips, then the slideshow ends with more photos.
When I do a preview, when the picture portion ends and the first video clip begins to play iPhoto freezes everytime. I have tried to preview the videos within the slideshow builder and they also freeze iPhoto and crash the application.
When I go to the albums section in iPhoto where the photos and videos originaly came from, the clips all work there but for some reason in the slideshow builder they freeze and crash the program. I am forced to do a command+option+esc close of the program everytime.
I have created a similar style slideshow back in October of 2011 with both photos and videos. When I created this previous slideshow back then it worked fine and I had no issues. I still have this slideshow saved and when I try to preview or play this previous slideshow now I have the same issue..when the photos finish and the videos start the program freezes and crashes.
I thought maybe it was because of file type, so I have imported .AVI, .MP4, .WMV, .M4V and all of these various file types all freeze and crash the slideshow.
Any ideas? I tried to do a system update, but my system is fully up to date.
I currently have iPhoto 11 version 9.2.3 (629.52)
Any help or feedback would really be appreciated, thanks in advance!

Six other folks have the same problem. Can anyone help?

Playing video in iPhoto slideshow

hi,
I'm regularly recording video with my digital camera that is transfered to iPhoto along with all pictures. The problem is that these videos don't play when I present a slideshow of an event in my computer or in AppleTV.
I used Visual Hub to convert the .avi to .mp4 files optimized for iTunes but still these converted videos won't show up in an iPhoto slideshow. Is this a non-feature of the program or I'm doing something wrong? Can I sync videos from an iPhoto album and see them in my AppleTV?
Thank you!

You cannot play video as part of an iPhoto slideshow. PhotoPresenter is an app that allows this.

Can you output iphoto slideshows in video formats?

Can you output iphoto slideshows in video formats? If so, which video formats? Is output in H.264 format with 4:3 aspect ratio possible? Thanks.

If you set the aspect ratio to 4:3 in iPhoto
you can use the Export button at the bottom of the slideshow window and pick one of the sizes you'd like.
That will give you this format:
If you want to do more customization of the output follow Terence's export method.

Does this occur when you add music to the Slideshow? Or some other time?

IPhoto 6 & iPod Video iPod

Using iPhoto 5 I had scanned about 2,500 35mm slides and placed them on my ipod. These were used during lectures connected to a TV - I only had to carry the iPod - beautiful!
All worked beautifully for months then suddenly, whilst syncing the ipod I saw a message 'Deleting photos from ipod'. Some 400 scanned photos (without the suffix .jpg) were deleted from the ipod - but remained 'safe' in iPhoto. During subsequent syncs these have never been synced back onto the iPod. I now find I have to place the suffix .jpg on thename of every scanned photo in order that it will be copied from iPhoto onto the iPod; this was not necessary in the past!
Anyone else encountered this, is it a problem with iPhoto 6.0.6?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
This is not an iPhoto question but an iTunes / iPod one, and you might have more luck there.
You're not adding that file suffix in the finder are you? Can you still see your pics in iPhoto? Even when you click on them to view them full size?

Combine music video in an iPhoto slideshow?

I'm curious....
Can I put a music video (purchased from iTunes) into an iPhoto slideshow? The iPhoto slideshow has about 100 photos, with the photos displayed for the duration of the music playlist I've selected. I'm wondering if I can add a music video to this slideshow, where the aformentioned music stops playing...the music video plays...then the slideshow resumes playing with the photos and music?

When playing a slideshow directly from an album the show will start with the first photo in the album unless another photo is selected. In that case the slideshow will begin with the selected photo.
There's also an setting pane for the album slideshow with an option to randomize the photos with each playing.
Make sure the Shuffle checkbox is not selected.
