Itunes visualizer with slideshow

Can anyone think of a way where I could make a slideshow by using the itunes visualizer to the appropriate song as a backround with my pictures floating by. I have iphoto, imovie, Adobe Photoshop Elements 8, Pulp Motion, and even FCE which I would rather not get into, unless that is the only way.
Thanks

No way I can think of.
PhotoPresenter has over 25 animated themes and one of those might approximate what you're looking for. It integrates seamlessly with iPhoto. You can download a demo to try it out.
This demo page as a few examples of those themes: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes.

ITunes visualizer with 2 monitors

Hi,
I have two monitors and I want to put iTunes in the secondary one and activate the Visualizer in full screen so that the secondary monitor only displays the CD covers while I work on something else in the primary one.
My problem is that when I activate the full screen visualizer in the secondary monitor, the primary monitor goes black as if iTunes was using both monitors.
Can somebody help me? Thanks in advance.
Nacho

I have the same issue here.
It would be nice not just for the cover art... but you can run visualizations in full screen mode also.
The "Windows Media Center" included with vista will correctly use the second monitor in "full screen" mode... without blanking out the main monitor.
I'd rather use iTunes because I plan on getting an iPod soon.
(So it would be nice if they fixed this bug.)

How/Where to install additional iTunes Visualizer plug-ins?

Hi. I recently switched from my old mac running OS 10.4 to another mac running 10.6. with iTunes 9.0.1.
I had installed a couple additional iTunes visualizer with my old mac. I've tried installing the same plug-ins on the new mac by placing them in the Harddrive/Library/iTunes/iTunes plug-ins folder............however ..........after doing so and opening up iTunes.......they don't shaw up as an option in the Top Menu- View-Visualizer-Visualizer Plug-ins list.
Wondering why not and how to make this work? Thanks for any help.

After thinking it over............my old mac was a powerPc compared to the new Intel and I was probably using versions of those Plug-ins that were quite old..........so went to the plug-in website and downloaded a newer version which is showing up.

How to record itunes visualizer and use it in imovie?

I want to record iTunes Visualizer (with music) and put that footage on iMovie. First of all, how do i record the visualizer?? I was on youtube and i found a bunch of visualizer videos, so i know it is possible to record it.
I have iTunes 10, iMovie 09, and a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 if that helps.
THANKS!(:

Using visualizer with presentations powerpoint worship

About 3 years ago, I was speaking at a conference that included group singing (a Christian conference). The tech team was using a program that allowed them to integrate iTunes visualizer with the powerpoint slides. In essence, the music of the band was playing, the visualizer was somehow connected to that music (dancing along as it does to the beat) and over it all they had the words of the song.
Does anyone have any idea if you know of a program that helps with that? Any ideas of how that could be done?

No one else has had any thoughts on this, but let me offer this, at least. I know that the G-Force visualizer will allow you to create scripts, including the ability to add text and ovedrlay words onto the visulaizer screen.
G-Force is a free download to play with and learn. Much more powerful than Apple's. Then a small fee to purchase, if you desire.
Might not be the easy answer, but it's all I can offer.

Keynote and iTunes visualizer

I asked this over in the iTunes area but was sent here for your thoughts.

if you're sure it was iTunes, and not something else, they probably used a video switcher/mixer and overlayed the text from one computer onto the background from another.
The other poossiblity is that they used an app like Easyworship or Mediashout (both are windows only though) to take a video clip that looked to you like itunes, and put that behind the lyrics. There ARE mac apps that can do this with canned video, though they just aren't as slick yet as the pc apps that are out there.
I maintain a list if you're interested:

Itunes visualizer on music playback with apple tv

Do any of you clever people out there know if it's possible to have the itunes visualizer playing on the TV instead of a photo slide show? I can get it working if I wired the TV directly to my macbook pro but not when I link it through the apple tv. Fantastic bit of kit apart from that.

Frankly I find it quite astounding this isn't possible..? Right now I'm using Air Parrot to stream my audio en video of my Mac to the Apple tv. It works ok, but this isn't what I expect from Apple.
I want to be able to do this out of the box.
Music visualization is very inspirational, it should be part of Apple. Next to that I think there's tons of people who would buy an Apple TV just for this one option. Talking about finding your niches. You could convince a very enthusiastic group of people with just this feature.
Mountain Lion will also feature this kind of mirroring possibility, so that would make it a lettle better. But still, it wouldn't benefit someone streaming from theor iPhone, iPad, iPod or listening to a radio stream.
I'd like a feature where I can choose to activate visualizations whenever I want and use different, community created visualizations, just like I can in iTunes.
Apple please fix this?!

Does anyone else have this problem with the iTunes visualizer?

I rarely use the iTunes visualizer but, when I do, it gives me the option of either using the newer one or the classic one. I like to use the new one but the problem is that I can only go to "visualizer options" if I am using the classic one. In said options I could set it so that the song info (song title, artist, album title and artwork) stays in the bottom left corner for the entire song. The few times I use the visualizer, I do like to have it up for the whole song--I just think it looks cool, I don't know...
Anyway, since I can't get the options for the new visualizer, the song info always fades away after the first five seconds or so of the song.
Anyone else realize this?? And does it annoy anyone else lol?

Well, I did a search on apple.com and found this:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-news/2010/04/the-hidden-itunes-visualizer-con trols.html
"The Visualizer -- graphics that swoop and pulse with the music -- has been part of iTunes' DNA from the beginning. And because its creators wanted to interact with the graphics in real time as well as watch them, Visualizer includes some single keystroke commands that change what you see while it runs. But these commands are hidden by default lest they obstruct the graphics.
Use the Show/Hide Visualizer command in the View menu to turn Visualizer on and off, and use the Visualizer menu to select among the choices. If the choice you're using has hidden commands you can see them for a brief time by typing ? while a song is playing and Visualizer is visible. The keystrokes will work regardless of whether the help menu is showing, so if you memorize them it's possible to add Virtuoso Visualizer Player to your list of accomplishments. (For the Visualizer choice called Jelly, available only in iTunes for Mac, try holding the keys down, especially the number keys, for maximum effect.")
Not that you care. >.<

Screen Saver with iTunes Visualizer

Does anyone know of a program/script/screen saver package that will allow the screen saver to automatically activate the iTunes Visualizer on the Mac?

I'm sure there's got to be an easier way for free
I don't know about easy, but delving into the power of OS X is a good idea. Automator actions seem to need a double click or input--in this case from screensaver.
Have you tried asking in the Automator folder?
Also have you noticed all screensavers, save for Flurry and RSS Visualizer are pictures?

Can I use captured footage of the itunes visualizer in videos?

I know someone already asked about still images captured from the visualizer but I've been screencapturing the performance of the Itunes visualizer playing along to some of my bands music, obviously it pulses itself to whatever music is being played, and I also sort of choreograph sequences by enabling and disabling the freeze and camera lock, and using mode changes. I then take the footage and often mirror image the video sort of like a Rorshact Test and sometimes layer that with a kaleidoscope effect or other random video images and effects I've created and or recorded and I sync that to my bands music.
So I would like to use this stuff as sort of videos and background for our music and posting it to Youtube, I really just intend it as something to play along with the music that may or may not be interesting to watch, I'm not interested in passing this off as like my sole artistic creation. Of course I have no problem stating that I used the Itunes Visualizer to generate graphics and source material for these intended videos but is that enough? I have seen other people posting videos that contain images and sequences of the visualizer in various other contexts like tutorials and the like on Youtube, also Im not exactly making nor do I expect to make any kind of money off this, its mostly just for me and my friends, still I dont want to infringe/plagiarize anything but I'm curious where that all stands. Who exactly would I credit, Apple the entity or the actual, specific programmers of the visualizer, what about the specific algorhythms? How would I go about asking for a release?
I've tried looking all over the place for similar questions, the one with still images was the closest but not specific enough, so I hope I'm not double posting or anything.
I of course appreciate any advice on this but I'd really appreciate as specific an answer as possible. If it's a no-no from jumpstreet I'd rather know now, these things get kinda of tricky with art and copyright, again I'm not interested in claiming I solely created these images, but if I could credit someone and be allowed to use them and manipulate them how would one go about that?
thanks for any advice and help,
D

But then what? I am in the same situation, and have both the original iPhone and original sim card, and that is it. I am not the original iPhone owner (that was a family member who now has a new iPhone), and I do not have a new iPhone or a new iPhone sim card. How do you convert it to an iPod Touch with ONLY the old sim card (reboot does NOT work).

I am losing music with slideshows in iPhoto.

After a recent automatic update (I think to the operating system), the iPhoto program began losing all music associated with slideshows, seemingly whenever the power was completely shut down. I am using iPhoto 11, version 9.4.3. After the power has been shut down, the music files previously associated with the slide shows are no longer associated. I can see my iTunes library in the iPhoto program, but it will not let me add music, and gives me an error message something to the effect of, "...cannot be added because the original file cannot be located." If I go into iTunes and create a new playlist, I can then again add music to the slide shows.
I did not have this problem prior to the recent updates. Is there a way to maintain the link between the iPhoto slide show and the music even if the power is shut down? It seemed to be able to do this prior to the recent updates.
Is there a way to save the entire slideshow to a file or DVD, so I can simply play it from a DVD or re-load it?
This seems to be an issue with the recent updates required by Apple.
Thanks.

1. As a former and current PC user, I have had several problems because I failed to update PC programs as recommended (security patches in Adobe Flash Player, etc.). I assumed Apple was the same way; the programs would generally work better and be more secure if I installed the recommended updates that periodically arrived from Apple. Perhaps I am mistaken and you could offer some better suggestions.
2. I am using iPhoto '11, version 9.4.3. It may not be the version I was using when I initially encountered the problem a few days ago. When it happened, I checked the Ap store for recommended updates, and there was one for iPhoto, so I updated to see if that would fix the problem. It does not seem to have fixed it. I purchased this iMac as my first Apple system nearly two years ago, and have been using the software that came installed on it, altered only (as far as I know) by the recommended updates. I generally really like it. I am using Mac OS X version 10.7.5. I don't know how to check to see if the iPhoto version is compatible with the OS X version
3. The exact error message is, "The song "____" could not be used because the original file could not be located."
I have some slide shows on the iMac that we put to music out of iTunes and play on the iMac. As long as the computer is put to sleep, and not shut down, the link to the music remains. If the computer gets shut down, the iPhoto loses the link to music files. When I open iPhoto, the slide show is there, but the music does not play with the photos. When I open the music settings, I can open and see my iTunes library, but when I drag songs into the field for the slide show, it will not allow the songs to remain in the field. I then double click again on the song I just tried to add to the slide show, and the error message above appears.
I went to the support page, and it suggested that I close iPhoto, go into iTunes, copy the iTunes Music Library.xml file to the desktop, go back into iTunes, create a new playlist, then open iPhoto and try again. Going through this process seems to allow me to again add iTunes songs to the slideshow. I just lose everything again whenever the power shuts down. I thought saving the slideshow onto a DVD might work, but I have not figured out how to do that yet. Is that a reasonable solution? I could potentially save them to a DVD, flash drive, or the back-up Airport disk. It appeared in the support community that people had difficulty with saving the format when the slideshow was saved directly from iPhoto, but that it worked better when first transferred to the video program (iMovie?). I have never used the video program and don't know if I even have it. I welcome any suggestions you may have.
4. I have not noticed any other strange things with iPhoto.
Thanks for your help,
B

ITunes Visualizer on External Display Blacks Out Main Display

Is it possible to have the iTunes Visualizer full screen on an external display while keeping the main display active?
In other words, I'd like to have my 2nd monitor display the iTunes Visualizer in full screen while I do work on my main screen. Every time I try this it forces the main screen to go black.
Does anyone have a solution, or is this just the limitations of iTunes and/or the Mac?
(By the way, the closest I've come is to put the iTunes window on the 2nd display, start the visualizer, and make its window as large as it will go. But, you still see the top of the iTunes chrome above and below the visualizer.)

I realise this is an old post, but have not yet seen an explanation of how I have solved this problem.
Its not a complete solution as it only works if you want to use iTunes, and does require an iPad or an iPhone.
First configure the Apple remote App on your iPhone, or iPad, or both iPad is best, but iPhone works almost as well.
Check that you can control the music from your i'Device'
Drag the iTunes window onto the external screen/projector. I am assuming external monitor with a different screen geometry to main screen, but if you can handle some gaps, you can mirror displays just as well.
Turn on the Visualiser - and put it into full screen.
If you can't see the external screen the following short cuts are useful.
⌘T - turn on Visualizer
^⌘F - turn on Full Screen
Your main screen will blank out, but you will still have full control of your music from the Remote App.
Very cool if you are having a party, and want the visualiser on the large LCD TV, or on a projector.

Problems using iTunes Visualizer

Previously iTunes Visualizer worked correctly.
Now it will not launch.
Any ideas why?

My graphic card is set to 1080p and download the 64bit version of Itune 8. The visualizer works in Itune screen but would not start on the full screen mode. I have another instance installed on my XP, it is working fine with full screen mode. Not sure if that is the same issue you are having. Anyone can help???

Why can't Apple install an iTunes Visualizer option??

Why can't Apple install an iTunes Visualizer option to the screen saver, instead of the iPhoto slideshow?? I don't always want pictures moving over the screen, and especially when I'm listening to the music channels. Having such a large format for the iTunes Visualizer would be . . . you know, cool.

I totally agree and would love to see that option! I think the best way to tell Apple these things would be at http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html though.

New iTunes Visualizer stuck at boring

Hi, people!
so, iTunes 8 is stuck in the Magnetosphere visualizer, and simply won't circle trough animations. I already tried clicking every possible command on the visualizer, including C, wich is suppoused to activate the circling thingy.
I'm posting a pict of the animation that's being showd -if it at least were one of the nice ones!-
at first it was working propperly, now it's just boring...
http://www.fhint.net/visual.jpg
help?

Did, you are absolutely correct. They 'broke' the Classic Visualizer with iTunes 8. I'm surprised more people have not reported it.
You can see the problem if you put the Classic Visualizer in the Random mode and notice as it goes through the different effects that approximately half of them now resemble two vertically arranged cones attached at their vertices (as in the letter X).
I have tried iTunes 8 (and 8.0.1) on a 17" MacBook Pro with Core Duo, a 21" iMac with Core Duo, and a 24" iMac with Core 2 Duo, all running 10.5.5, and all have the exact same problem. The only workaround I have found is to reinstall iTunes 7.7.1.
I certainly wish more people would report this problem to Apple. It's probably a simple fix.
