IPhoto with AVI films as part of Slide Show

Hi
I'm very glad for using iPhoto Slide Shows for showing pictures..
It is second to none
My Camera is a Canon IXUS 950. It can make small video sequences as well.
These video sequences are imported to iPhoto. And I can see them one by one by clicking on them and they shows up in QuickTime.
But more wants more.
I would like to see the video sequences as part of the slide show.
My CANON Camera can actually do this
Are there any way of adding the AVI files to the slideshow?
Are there plans for this feature ?

aka3:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Besides PhotoPresenter you can combine movie and stills in an iDVD slideshow. With this method while the video plays the selected audio for the slideshow continues playing but is muted during the video portion.
It's the same in PP. However, I'm finding in PhotoPresenter that the fit slides to music is broken. I think I came about with 10.5.2 but not positive. And when escaping from the slideshow mode the PP window does not show up. We have to quit and restart. I've contacted the developers on that.

This is my first time using iphoto, I am trying to make a slide show that I can then burn to a dvd. The slide show is complete, but I'm not sure where to go now. Can I burn the slide show from iphoto or do I have to export to imovie or idvd?

I have completed the slide show i am making, but not sure what to do now. I want to burn it to a dvd, but not sure if i can do that from iphoto or do i need to export to imovie or idvd? If i need to export, will iphoto save a copy in iphoto? This may be really stupid, but I don't see an obvious way to save my slide show in iphoto. Please Help!

Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure 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, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is 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.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
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.
NOTE: If you're running iPhoto 9.5 the export options will be different.

Help with using parallels while burning a slide show..

I have pro show gold for making wedding slide shows.. I like the program and it only runs under windows. I am able to run the program using parallels and everything looks good, does the whole thing, burns the dvd etc. except when I go to run the dvd on the tv it does not recognize it.. What is missing, all the data is burned except some portion..
Since it's running in emulation mode I wonder if I should try making a boot camp partition. I have been avoiding that since I don't want to take up more HD space but I guess I might have to.
I still have my PC which I have been using to run the program.. I called photodex about it and they said they can't help me since it's made to run on windows. I just can't figure out why there should be a problem.

For assistance with Windows products in Parallels you should consult Parallels tech support else their forums…

You're not going to get much, if any, help for it here. If you're running under Boot Camp you might find Boot Camp specific assistance in the Boot Camp forums.

IPhoto 9.6 - slideshow to movie - text slides show only text and no image

Made slideshow in iPhoto 9.6. Runs fine in slideshow mode on my iMac. However, when I export it to my desktop as a movie, slides that I inserted text via the text slide feature (bottom right of iPhoto) - black with the text only - lost the image. This happens on most of the text slides. followed similar procedure before w/ no issues.

How do I get my photos off my phone and onto iPhoto with iOS5. The phone does not show up in the list of devices.

Now that I have upgraded iPhoto and my iPhone, when I connect my phone to the computer, the phone does not show up in iPhoto and I no longer am asked if I wasnt to import my photos. I haven't upgraded to iCloud yet.

You don't not with a crack screen.

V10 problems with hi res wmv from a slide show?

I didn't have any problems making the same hi res wmv file from v9, but v10 gave me an error. Anyone else see this?

Windows 7 is the OS and the error msg is very generic - something like there was an error creating the wmv file...

I went into the original files in the iphoto library and organised the photos there, now when I try to look at the photos in iphoto the tiles are there but when I try to enlarge or put into a slide show a big grey explanation mark occurs?

I tried to organise my iphoto originals to it would be easier to back them up onto my hard drive, so I renamed them and grouped them in the orinigal file. Now when I go onto iphoto to view the photos in a slide show a big exclamation mark comes up and if I click on the photo to see the original file it can't find it. Any ideas?

You won't be able to run the rebuild function and restore your library becaue you renamed and regrouped your original photos from the Finder. I doubt if you can change the names back to their original names and put them back in the folders they were in originally so your only option is get your backup library and replace the one you damaged.
If you don't have a backup copy of the library from just before the problem that contains all of your photos you will need to start over from scratch as follows:
Start over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
Click to view full size
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
In the future stay out of the iPhoto Library package and only access the photos using iPhoto.

How do I create a slide show in a separate, non iPhoto folder?

I moved about a 1000 photos from iPhoto to a new folder I created in an external drive to save space in iPhoto. How do I create a slide show in the new folder? When I click a photo to enlarge it it goes into Preview mode which enables you to have a slide show. But do I have to click and enlarge all 1000 photos? There is bound to be a simpler way.
Thanks,
Max

MaxFS,
I see you are still using Jaguar, is this true?
With Tiger (10.4) you can select all the photos in a folder
control click on the photos and scroll to "slideshow"
You can also select all the photos in the folder
double click on the selection to have them open in Preview
In preview use the option for a slideshow.
This does tell me that you might have a newer version of OS X than what is noted in your specs.
Also, I think there is a limit to the number of photos that will open in a slideshow or preview. It might be around 99 or 150 (I can't remember right now)

Exporting slide show from iPhoto to QT raises contrast and darkens images?

I have been using iPhoto to create slide shows (with transitions) which I then save as QuickTime (.mov) files. I add soundtracks to the QT.mov file in QuickTime Pro and burn the finished slide show to CD's for my friends and coworkers.
The original photographic image files come from several sources; mostly a digital camera, but often scanned color slides (from the dim, distant past). All of the images have been (painstakingly!) corrected in PhotoShop, and saved as finished size Jpeg files.
When I import the images into iPhoto, edit and arrange them in a folder and preview the show as a slideshow in iPhoto, the images still look perfect.
When I save the show by exporting it to QuickTime, all of the images get darkened and the image contrast increased.
This is making me nuts.
To quantify the unwanted "enhancement" that iPhoto seems to be applying to my images, I experimented in PhotoShop; I can make the original (correct) image match the "QT enhanced" image by decreasing the "Lightness" slider by -8 to -12, and increasing the "Contrast" slider by +11 (in whatever units PhotoShop sliders are calibrated).
The resulting change in the images is infuriating: the darkening increases the color saturation and blocks up the shadow details so that many images are unusable.. black skin tones, for example, become a dark red/brown color with an unnatural gradation from light to dark.
Further experimentation using IDVD and QuickTime slide shows (without transitions) made from sequencial files directly in QT seem to indicate that the problem is not in QuickTime itself, but rather in the transition from iPhoto to QuickTime when I export the finished folder as a slide show.
It seems like iPhoto is "enhancing" or "tweaking" the images as it exports them to QuickTime: It adds contrast and reduces brightness, both of which might serve to add "snappiness" to a lot of generic snapshots that people shoot, but my images have already been fixed (thank you) and really don't need anyone's generic "tweak"
Does anyone know what it's doing, and more importantly to me, how do I turn the damned thing off?
G5 dual 2.3Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6) Terabytes of disc space.

iPhoto can make two different types of slide show movies. It would help to know which you're making.
One is made via the File/Export to QuickTime movie and makes a 4 track file with a simple fade effect. These use the Photo-JPEG codec.
The other is a 30 fps "video" using H.264 video codec via the "Share" menu.
A third method (rarely used) is to Export to iDVD. This makes an absurdly high data rate MPEG-4 video. This is also found under the Share menu.
The MPEG-4 video codec also includes an "automatic" gamma correction feature which compensates for the gammas difference between Mac's and PC's.
Try one export to iDVD. Include your audio track prior but use a high quality (.aiff) sound file. No need to actually "burn" the DVD. You can even close iDVD after it opens. You'll find the new movie in your Users Movie folder.
Open it with QT Pro and export to a new .mov file. Adjust the data rate to something more reasonable and add some audio compression.
If the colors still look too dark you can use the built in Filters in the Export dialog. You can adjust B&C or HSL or even use ColorSync Profiles that can help correct the image quality (if needed).

Can music be insync with slide show

In iPhoto one may link with a music track and even time the the slide show to end with the music.
Can a slide show with music from iPhoto be ex/imported to iWeb as is?
What about auto-play music with an iWeb Album?

Yes. The basic idea is that you make a playlist of songs and choose that to use with the slideshow, rather than any particular song. In iPhoto 11 you can do this in iPhoto. In earlier versions you do this in iTunes.
There is a limitation. Each song will play the full way through, you can't croassfade from one to another and so on.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie, on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price: PhotoPresenter $29
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Express $199
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

Help with audio from slide show

Used Photoshop Elements 8.0 to create slide show. After adding audio, reviewed show several times with no issue. Then, began having issue of show playing and audio to start with, then audio cuts out and slide show continues. Went ahead and exported to Premiere Elements 8.0 and audio played all the way through in review. Exported to DVD. Plays fine on DVD players, but when I attempt to play on computer, in Windows Media Player, audio( music) plays for a while then cuts out. If I stop and close player, and then open again show picks up where left off, and appropriate music plays, but only for awhile and then cuts out. Am making several copies of this DVD for others to play. Some will use DVD player, some will use computer. Dont' understand. Need help.

Have you tried to play the DVD on a different computer to see if it's your computer or the DVD?
The fact it plays fine on your DVD player makes me think it might be something wrong with your computer.

Newbie Here - How to Create a Slide Show in CS5?

I am using Windows 7 and I am familiar with PSElements 8 where creating a slide show is easy. I just want to create a slide show in CS5 (in Bridge?? View>Slideshow Options?) using vacation photos from several folders, and I want to order them manually.
First, I can't figure out how to display more than one folder in the Content panel in Bridge. Second, I can't figure out how to create and intersperse "blank" slides with text.   Third (and I haven't even gotten this far yet), how do I save the slide show and burn a VCD? This was all so easy and intuitive in PSE8, I can't believe it seems nearly impossible in CS5!
As an alternative, should I simply re-save the photos as JPEGs (they are PSDs now), export them to a Desktop folder, open them in PSE8 and create the slide show there instead?   Thanks for any help and suggestions!

1) Bridge has a new feature (can't think of the term at the moment) but it works like instancing or virtual copies. Select all of the photo's that you want and place them in the "collection" (Ah I knew I would think of it) Move to another folder and move them into the same collection and so on. These are virtual copies in that they don't really exist, but are a link to the original images. You then can use the collection for the slide show.
2) Just create a page same size as your photo's in photoshop with what ever color background and put your text on it.
3A)The slide show can be exported as a pdf or swf. Windows can then copy the file to a cd. If you choose swf, you may need to alter the html file (I assume it generates one, if not it isn't har to create one) The html file would help the web browser determine the correct size to display at. If you have flash, it can be used to create a html file as well.
3B)If you would like the slide show to be displayed on a tv screen, then your cd/dvd will need to use a format that your dvd player can play, mp2 is the standard, but some can display jpg's, some are blue ray, etc. For exporting into the correct video format, then one of the following can be used. After Effects, Premeire pro, Encore, Photoshop (If you have quicktime installed and you are using one of the formats that quicktime supports like mp4)
If you have quicktime installed, paying the 20 bucks may be worth it as it will allow you to take your jpg images and generate an animation file as avi or mov. But can save as mp4 as well.
4) In Bridge you can select all of the images and run image processor on them. This plug in is part of photoshop there fore it will be in the menu's under photoshop. It will let you specify the files size, format and any actions, etc. It will then place them all into a folder that you specify.

Adding more than one song to a slide show in Elements 11

Most of my slideshows are longer than one song and I get tired of it just repeating. Can I have more than one song in a slide show and how do I do this?

I like to use different songs for different parts of slide shows and also to edit out some of the extra verses in some of the songs I use, so what I do is to use Wavepad (free download) to edit the desired songs. I save each one in a separate file (adding a descriptor such as "short" to the original title). Then, I open a new file in Wavepad, save it as the name of the slide show (such as Graduation Medley), then copy & paste each song from its respective file, in the correct sequence I want them to play into the new file. Be sure to save at the end, in between, all the time.
I go back to iTunes and import the new file into the Library. Then I go back to iPhoto, select the relevant slide show, click on the Music button and select that file for my music for the slide show. I then go to the Settings and click the button that says "Fit photos to music".
You can also create a playlist from the edited files and add the playlist as specified in the other posts.
When previewing the slide show, if the music for the 2nd section starts too soon or too late, I adjust the time for a couple of beginning section's slides, add an extra one in, or maybe even reedit the music.
Hope this helps.
