Iphoto transitions exporting to Quicktime

Working in iphoto 08. "Fit slideshow to music" simply does not work, so I manually adjusted dissolves and display length to have the music and images end at roughly the same time. Exporting to Quicktime seems to ignore all of my transitions and the photos are done displaying with about a minute left in the music.
Exporting to idvd or imovie creates unacceptable reduced quality of the images. Is there a way to make the iphoto slideshow export exactly how it's playing in iphoto?

First are you using iPhoto 08 which is version 7 or iPhoto 09 which is version 8?
Exporting to Quicktime from iPhoto 08 (V7) will not get your transitions as a straight to QT export doesn't support them. With iPhoto 09 (V8) a slideshow export was added that would give you all of the features you had in the iPhoto slideshow.

So if you're at Version 7 you'll need to use a 3rd party slideshow application like PhotoPresenter or use iMovie to get your transitions.
PhotoPresenter has over 25 animated themes and interacts seamlessly with iPhoto. Some of those themes are demonstrated here: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes.

Exporting to Quicktime loses transitions

Hello,
I'm using keynote 4.0.2 and if I create a hyperlink presentation with multiple slides and have transitions between them (whether it's disolve or cube or curtains, etc.) it appears that several of the transitions get lost. The link works, it just doesn't transition.
Playing the presentation within Keynote is fine and everything works flawlessly, just exporting it into Quicktimes seems to kill the transitions. I have videos within the presentation so I can't use any other export method.
Any ideas?

Hey, that works out fine.. except now I'm having another issue!
When I click a link to jump a slide, it doesn't transition into the next slide automatically unless I right-click, and hit PLAY in quicktime.
So in Keynote, I have a link on slide 1, that'll jump to slide 6, which will then transition to slide 7. When I export to quicktime and play, I click on the link, it jumps to 6, but then it pauses, then I have to right-click and hit Play for it to transition to slide 7.
I checked the slide properties for 6, it's supposed to automatically go to 7 without requiring interaction from the user. It works within keynote, but not after I export to QT.
I'm running the "hyperlinks" option.
Any ideas?

Build/Transition times off when exported to Quicktime

I have four Keynote presentations I have built, each of which has several Quicktime movies placed on multiple slides (not the same movie multiple times). I then have Keynote text and shape objects "interacting" with the movies as they play. In Keynote, I have set my build and transition times to perfectly match the content of the Quicktime movies.
Example: I have a movie that was captured from my screen wherein I select various menu items. In Keynote, as the various menu items are selected in the movie, I have Keynote text and arrows pointing to the relevant areas of the movies. "Click File...", "...then Save As..." etc. Looks great when presented in Keynote.
When exported to Quicktime (full size, high quality, Sorensen Video 3) the timing gets worse as the movie progresses, to the point that at the end some of my timings are off by almost 10 seconds or more!
Any ideas why this happens? The export to Quicktime is happing on a dual-processor 2.7GHz G5 with 4GB RAM... should be more than adequate!
Robert

Cheers for that, Kyn. Funny, I spent about two hours reading through page-by-page all the forum topics to see what issues people were coming acorss BEFORE I posted. Don't know how I missed this one though! Guess I should try searching next time.
Thanks,
Robert

Presentation timing way off after export to Quicktime

I built a presentation with several embedded Quicktime movies. Want it to play all the way through automatically. Plays beautifully in Keynote, but when I export to Quicktime timing is way off. Individual clips have lots of extra time on the first or last frame. Tried all sizes of export, tried recording and then using recorded timings, but nothing works.
I'm offering free beer to anyone who has the answer.

Did you take into account the transition times. That has thrown me off a number of times. Do you have the Fit Slideshow to music option selected?
Another application that creates, IMO, terrific slideshows is PhotoPresenter. It has 25 or more themes and can save the slideshow, with Fit slideshow to music, to a variety of formats, QT, for iPod, HD, etc. This is one of their many themes.
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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I'mtrying to upload my photos to shutterfly I've gone to file and export then the window gives me the option of file export webpage quicktime and slideshow . on my macmini I have shutterfly on there also how do I get this on my new mac

I go to file and export then a window appears with file export, webpage,quicktime and slideshow. On my mini I have shutterfly as an option and don't remember how to do it. What do I do to input this info so that shutterfly becomes an option

Hi Barbara
Are your photos in iPhoto or are you using some other Photo Software?
The latest version of iPhoto is a lot different than iPhoto 6 for example. In iPhoto 06 you could burn the Originals from your User Picture Folder using Finder, while in iPhoto 11 it is best to burn them from within the iPhoto Application.
Open iPhoto and select the Event(s) that you want to burn onto the CD, then select Share on the menu bar and click Burn in the drop down.

Then again, maybe you got a bad batch of blank CD's and need to try another?

Keynote 3.0.2 Will Not Export to Quicktime

I have a put together a Keynote presentation that uses a Quicktime movie on one of the slides. The presentation plays fine within Keynote, but when I try to export the presentation to Quicktime, the export stops and tells me there's not enough memory or there's something wrong with the file. The message comes up when the export procedure reaches the slide that contains the Quicktime movie. Is it possible to export a Keynote presentation to a Quicktime Movie if the presentation has a movie in it? That's like a movie inside a movie. I can't get it to export to QTime.

The other work around that I've found is to tell it "send to iDVD" but then quit iDVD when it pops that up. You'll end up with just the quicktime file it created.
What I noticed is that when a "quicktime export" plays in QT, it has a fps rate of like 7 or 8 or even 13 but the dynamic "playing fps" goes up to 30 during transitions and back to 0 when there isn't a transition. At least with the iDVD cheat you end up with 24 fps. That may work for some people, that is film rate, but I'm in need of NTSC DV 29.97. So I import it into Final Cut Express, and do an export conversion.
I don't use audio, so I don't know how that would work in this cheat, but since your voiceover (I'm guessing based on trying to put music to my slides) is one entire track, you can add that in FCE before that export and line it up there.
If anyone else has suggestions to get a 29.97 export correct with the "export to quicktime", I'd love to hear it. This cheat takes too long for my work.

Remove fade in/out from iPhoto slideshow export?

I'm bringing in some pictures from iPhoto and I've had bad luck with photo resolution when I used iMovie to import the picture and apply Ken Burns effects, etc. I've seen some suggestions here to use an iPhoto slideshow export instead.
I have my settings for 1 second slides, no transition and a ken burns effect. I'd like to make an export for each picture, but iPhoto insists on opening the slideshow with a fade in and closing with a fade out. Is there any way to prevent this? I'd like to add the transitions in iMovie instead.
(I realize that the iMovie forum might be a better place for this so forgive the crosspost)

Thanks, I think I'll skip the Ken Burns for now since I've had nothing but problems with it. My issues before were that 1) iMovie would play the images in sequence just fine during playback but at export would mix up the order. 2) The resolution on the pictures was absolutely terrible. I have a new movie now and haven't seen either problem.

Slideshow Export over QuickTime didn't work

Hi,
today i try after a long time (and first time with iPhoto 8) an export over QuickTime. But the first time ever in my iPhoto history i have a big problem who i can't fix and i didn't found any informations here what i can do.
So... If i create an new album as a slideshow, i can put a lot of images who i like in it. But if o try to export this stuff, it's doesn't work. A short time before the export are finished, iPhoto stop the process without an message and suggest me, that all looks fine. But if i try to locate the file on my Picture/iPhoto Slideshow folder, i see nothing. The QuickTime file is missing.
Than i read, that i can try to export/share the Slideshow with iDVD. I try this, and oh man... I got an QuickTime file in my folder, but iDVD say it's not a movie file.
So i try it again to export another slideshow (my final one) to iDVD to got an QuickTime file but now i see nothing again in the folder. After my second try i got the message, that i didn't have enough space on my HD. The info was right. From 7 GB of free space on my internal HD a few minutes ago i have now only 500 MB free... Where all the space is gone?
I quit iPhoto and got my space back, thanks... But the export still doesn't work really good.
Hey, it's nice to watch pics in iPhoto, but it will be also nice to share some pics as a special slideshow outside from iPhoto.
If anyone have an idea what i can do?
Oh, by the way... After my first steps i try to install iPhoto completely new and i removed all external plugins... But nothing works better.

It could be an issue of a file or folder inside the iPhoto application having it's access turned off to you somehow. It's happened before with certain buttons not showing or working.
Open the application, select, Control-click and select "show package contents". Then look for any item that has a red circle with a "-" in it attached to it. If you do that means you don't have access. Select it and bring up the Info window (Command-I) to change access. If that doesn't work you might have to reinstall the application from the installation disk that came with your Mac or from the iLife disks (whichever is appropriate).

Recording/exporting to quicktime

Is the function of recording a Keynote show with timings and transitions completely garbage when exported to Quicktime?
When I export, it seems that most of the transitions are lost.
Is there something I'm missing or is this just broken?
I need to find a way for my clients who do not have Keynote to view an example of a running show.
Thanks.

I too have major problems exporting to QT a complex KN08 presentation with sound files in the builds. The timing, which took me long hours to perfect, is incorrect in the exported QT movie. Changing export settings does not help. Tech Support’s suggestion to export the presentation without the audio does not solve the problem at all. The timing of the builds is still incorrect in the exported soundless QT movie, so it is not possible to simply insert the sound files back in using iMovie or Final Cut or QTPro.
(Maybe Tech Support meant to make builds without any sound files at all. But then, how do you synchronize images, animations, transitions and sound?)
The only workaround I have found involves long and frustrating timing readjustments in the builds before export. A daunting task which involves multiple exports to QT for fine tuning. And finally some editing in QT Pro for cutting off extraneous footage that is created in the QT movie at the end of each slide (have found no solution for that either).
This is a major concern. It means the Export to Quicktime function is very tedious (unMaclike) if not useless when sound files are incorporated into the KeyNote builds. I am particularly surprised because KN ’06, though it did not export to QT very well, at least did not have this particular problem.

Trouble exporting to quicktime

I created a new keynote file using keynote08 trial version and tried to export in quicktime.
However, new slide transitions are not exporting as shown in keynote.
Is it just me only, or exclusively to trial version?
Is anyone experiencing same problem?

The bug has to do with wave file in my slide.
When I delete the wave file in slide, slide transition effects work same way as in quicktime export or in actual keynote presentation. But slides with wave file shows the problem.
I am not sure why it has such problem. Previous keynote version did not have this kind of problem. Slide with wave file was exported to quicktime without any problem in keynote 3 version in iwork06.

Problems Exporting to Quicktime. Would you use Profcast?

Using the new Keynote, which is promising, we recording a seminar that was 2 hours long. We wanted to distribute it via CD. We have tried to export it so many ways to Quicktime. We get the old "Your slideshow cannot be exported as a Quicktime movie. There's not enough disk space, or there was a problem with the file." Of course, disk pace is not a problem. We just found out that this is some sort of bug that the Apple community has been trying to figure out for years and has errupted again with this new Keynote version. We've tried the couple solutions posted elsewhere on the internet, and nicely summarized here: http://www.madebymark.com/madebymark/2006/04/keynote30expo.html
As with the author above, they haven't worked for us. And we don't have a stray "audio icon" that the author describes. Our Keynote presentation is very bare, with new fancy slide transitions or effects.
I'm thinking that Keynote cannot be trusted with audio presentations of over a few minutes. We recorded a nice four minute or so presentation and exported to Quicktime. It worked wonderfully. Has all the nice effects. When we tried a longer recording (10) minutes, all the sound and transitions were out of sync.
Our problem is that we record whole lecture and seminars. If Keynote has a glitch, we are then having to re-record. It's painful and expensive.
We were using Profcast, which allows us to import Keynote presentation and record the lectures. Now Profcast doesn't allow fancy transitions. It also doesn't (or did not) export to Quicktime. It exported to mp4 (I believe) which a Quicktime user could open. But the audio was perfectly timed with the slide pagination. And two other important benefits. The lecturer could easily start and stop the audio. If I'm not mistaken, that's not on option under Keynote. If you start the recording under Keynote, you're on until you finish. If you pause (I don't think there is a pause. I think you must exit) the recording, you end the recording. The final nice thing of Profcast (although I have not used it) is that you can export to GarageBand. At that point you can edit out extraneous material. I'm not sure what to do with it at that point. I don't think GarageBand allows you to export to quicktime. I think you can export to iTunes which is a type of QT. Assuming that one had to edit using GarageBand, that would require person to have iTunes to listen and watch the slide presentation, if I'm not mistaken. The other problem is that when you are using Profcast, as I remember (and I may be wrong on this), you lose all the nice transitions and effects. You still see the same slides with the same quality, but minus the effects.
ProfCast has proven a reliable workhorse, but without the effects. Quicktime is wonderful if you are not recording audio. If you are, nightmares ensue, and there seems little hope for an immediate solution.
Here are my questions. Beyond the few solutions for the Quicktime export problem, does anyone have any solutions? Any suggestions? We have a three hour presentation (it's huge) and are loathe to rerecord it.
Should we just stick with Profcast? Why or why not?
Oscar

Oscar I feel your pain !
We had similar problems from a recent seminar recording.
However I don't think it's length related. We recorded 15 presentations. 7 of which did not have slides. All those were fine with just our placeholder screen (25-ish minutes each)
Of the remaining 8 half exported finem, half crashed with the "disk full etc" error. All 8 presentations had slides imported from Powerpoint PC. Slide numbers ranged from 10 to 30. We could not determine a common denominator between the ones that crashed.
We tried removing transitions, deleting and re-inserting the original slides and a whole raft of other voodoo especially trying to hack the contents of the KN Package file in the hope of stumbling on to a fix ... to no avail.
This was a one-off live conference, no re-record possible. You don't want to hear this but we were forced to extract the audio and manually resynch All the presentations in Flash
You may have a better workflow, but you DO know you can control click the Keynote file, choose "Show Package Contents" and in there you will find all sorts of stuff including the .m4a audio file
This is a serious bug that render KN completely it's recording feature completely unusable.
But what has been most disappointing to me has been the absolute lack of any feedback from the stuff I have filed on this. Bug reports, Feature Enhancements, and the lack of comments from any of the Apple KN staff on this Apple KN board, does not speak well to the type of support for this product.
But here's the sting in the tail:
Having JUST completed the Flash workaround (at a cost of several thousand dollars in contracting) I just installed the KN 4.01 updater released today and all the files that would not export now do so just fine ! Grrrrrrrrrr.........

Export to Quicktime bug with embedded movies

Hi
I'm having an annoying problem when having Quicktime movies inserted in slides, then recording a slideshow and exporting it to Quicktime. I do the following:
1) Create a new slideshow
1) Insert movie into first slide
2) Create another slide
3) Insert copy and paste movie into this slide as well and add some animated object (i.e. a shape with a motion path)
4) Record slideshow so that the animated object appears while the movie still plays
5) Export recorded slideshow to Quicktime
*What happens when viewing the recorded slideshow:* Start of the presentation. The movie on the first slide starts playing immediately without clicking. *1st CLICK*. Second slide shows up. The movie on the second slide starts playing without clicking as well. *2nd CLICK.* The animated object is triggered, the movie and the animation play simultaneously.
*What happens when viewing the exported movie:* The exported movie seems to ignore some of the recorded settings. Slideshow starts, the movie doesn't play. *1st CLICK.* The movie starts playing (when actually it was supposed to advance from slide 1 to slide 2). *2nd CLICK.* The presentation advanced from slide 1 to slide 2.
It seems as if the export does not interpret all the settings the same way the direct presentation does, which is quite annoying as you don't get the same result in the exported movie you see on the screen.
Workaround: Go to the "QuickTime inspector" button in the inspector window, select the movie, check the option "Start movie on click". Then, go to the "Build inspector", hit the "More Options" button. The movie object now appears in the list. Select it and select "Automatically after transition" in the lower "Start build" part of the inspector. This way, the movie will start playing also in the exported movie.
Still there is another problem now.
*What happens now when viewing the exported movie with workaround:* Slideshow starts, the plays. *1st CLICK.* The presentation advanced from slide 1 to slide 2. The movie on the second slide starts playing without clicking as well! YAY! *2nd CLICK.* The animated object is triggered, the animation plays but the movie stops as soon as the animation is triggered.
So, instead of playing animation and movie simultaneously as in the normal recorded slideshow on screen, in the exported movie, the movie stops the moment the animation is triggered.
It seems as if the "Play Slideshow" and "Export to Quicktime" have different timelines, or different parameters the two modes evaluate.
This happened in iWork '08 and also happens in iWork '09. It's quite annoying. For me it's clearly a bug that should be fixed and is worth fixing. Please Apple, fix this bug.
I also noticed a tremendous amount of crashes while using the export to Quicktime function. While I was trying Keynote in iWork '09 I exported several times to Quicktime and had several crashes just by using this function.

Hi all.
I do exactly have the same problem since Keynote 4.0 and was hoping that it's solved in Keynote 5.0.
As soon as I try to export a previously recorded slideshow, (that has a quicktime-movie embeded on one slide) and one or two little textanimations on it. The embeded movie stops playing when the first animation starts in the exported quicktimemovie. When I view my recorded presentation, everything looks fine.
I do also believe, that the Quicktime-Export-Function does not work correctly because of timeline differences or so.
I would really appreciate a fix, specially becaused I upgraded in the hope that this should have been solved since around 10 months now....
Too bad.
P.S. As a workaround I am currently using also screenflow to record a recorded keynotepresentation to finally receive a movie. But that is kind of awkward too....

Export to Quicktime takes forever

I have a fairly simple slideshow - no video, some basic transitions and builds. There are nine slides, each one minute long (nine minutes total). It takes probably 30 minutes or so to export to Quicktime in full quality. Is this normal, or do I have settings incorrect?

Thinking out loud sort of:
Maybe the problem is that you're using GOP structured media, and because of this, the GOP has to be remade because you've edited in not iframes... I can recall just how long it took to create DVD's from HDV on G5 machines... YIKES it was slow. Might be a related problem. Dual only intel machines are a bit faster, but not by much... if your on a Powerbook or iMac.. you're on a dual intel most likely?
Seems to me that if the media was captured to an i frame format (ProRes) you'd not have this long export time for a reference movie.
I just edited a 3 camera shoot recorded with 3 HDV cameras last night as it turns out... but I captured it as ProRes using a Macbook Pro. The cameras never stopped so syncing them was pretty easy.
Larger files, but the switched 45 minute sequence exported as a reference movie in about 2 minutes.
HDV isn't my favorite codec to edit with, so I never work in it natively... It's just a totally inefficient codec and was never really intended to be a professional format I'm afraid (see Sony's original press release when they introduced it to the world, they point blank stated it was for consumers and home movies...) your problem is likely that it's HDV material. Sooooo don't work in HDV in post.

Exporting to Quicktime for FCP Import

I just finished a project (digital pictures) using Still Life software from Granted (www.grantedsw.com). I want to export my project to a Quicktime movie for import into Final Cut Pro 4.5, to add transitions, music, etc.
When I go to export to Quicktime it asks me under "Motion" for how many frames per second (it is by default at 12 fps) and key frame (which is by default at 24 frames.
I want the best quality for importing into Final Cut. How many fps should I use and what is the best key frame?
I am also given the option for the size:
160x120
320x240
640x480
720x480
720x576
Not too sure what size is best, as well. Any help would be great. Thanks!

I'd be matching the export settings to the sequence settings you intend to edit this movie into... so for say DV NTSC: 720X480 at 29.97 fps...

JPEG export of QuickTime frame (with Location info)

Shoot QuickTime with iPhone 4S camera app.   Import into iPhoto and see that location data is recorded in file by nature of the fact that iPhoto shows a map pin of the location it was shot.   Park QuickTime on a frame in iPhoto. Select File Export, Kind: JPEG, with Location information ticked (which when I hover over this option says "Include GPS data in exported photos" -- see attached photo).   Click the Export button.   Choose a folder and save.   Resulting file is not a jpeg but is a 31 KB reference QuickTime of the original 1080p quicktime.
Why isn't this working?
iPhoto ’11 (ver 9.3 650.39)

Prior to version 9.1.5, iPhoto would export the currently parked frame of a QuickTime file. (See:
http://macmost.com/export-video-still-frame-as-image-with-iphoto.html)   This prior state of functionality, along with the fact that the current version's export menus do not dim or grey out during export from QT media, leads one to believe that frame export is a legitimate feature (or facility as you put it) of iPhoto that has somehow become broken, at least on my Mac. Maybe it works on other Macs.
Also, what is so wrong with the expectation that a still exported from video (which, by definition, is a series of stills presented at 30 frames per second, giving the illusion of movement) can inherit geolocation data from the originating video?   What makes this such a radical notion?   It is inheriting the width, the height, the saturation, the luminance -- why not throw in the location, which is a tiny morsel of geodata just asking to be plucked?   Those piddly bits would grant the exported still a greater context; they would, indeed, place it on a map.
And what could be a finer honour for a piece of media, be it a photo, be it a QuickTime, be it a still exported from a QuickTime, than to be given its place on the iPhoto map. Such a proud distinction that says "Yes, I am an image (or a moving image, or a still taken from a moving image) and I was taken here."   Do not deny the honour of placement to these media. All are worthy of placement on the map, because all are historical artifacts that beg for geo-context.   And without geo-context, they become lost.
Goodnight.
(P.S. I plan to export lots of stills from lots of QuickTimes and do not want to do manual geotagging. No thanks.)
