IWeb Photo Slideshow Help

When adding photos to my .mac webpage using iWeb, I do not like the way you can click on each picture, causing it to open into another screen. I only want my pictures to be viewed as the thumbnails in the photo page and/or in a slideshow. Is there any way to deactivate the ability to click on photos to enlarge them? Or is there a way to only allow photos to be viewed through a slideshow??

You can put a shape or text box over the thumbnails (do not cover the play slideshow button).
For the shape, you need to set opacity to 1%, bring it all the way to front, that will disable thumbnails from being clicked.

Photo Slideshow Help

I don't much care for most of this new iMovie, but the Ken Burns effect controls are way better in '08.
For this reason alone (and that if offers a couple additional bells and whistles that iPhoto doesn't have) I am using it to put together a 350 photo slideshow for a friend's wedding.
The friend gave me all the chronologically ordered images on a CD which I imported into a new project and set about applying the Ken Burns effect to all of 350 of them.
THEN.. she changed her mind and wants to group the images thematically (i.e. Friends, Family, Travel, Camping, etc.)
What is the easiest way to move the photos/clips around?
It seems I can only move one at a time and there is no bin I can place the clips for organizing purposes.
Moving one at a time is going to be a major PITA... but so would starting over and redoing the KBE's.
Also... this isn't a question, but.. the audio management in '08 is super lame. No crossfading? Come on. Don't give me the "take it to GB and bring it back" workaround. I don't want workarounds. I want a piece of software that works.
On the upside, it is faster. No rendering delays. That's nice. Thought I'd end on a positive note.
Any help with the reordering of clips would be appreciated.

What is the easiest way to move the photos/clips around?
Unfortunately, as you've already discovered, there don't seem to be any "internal" shortcuts. Would likely remove all transitions, overlays, and titles and, starting at either end of the project, use a "bubble sort" algorithm to manually move each photo to its new location (and hope KBEs don't change). Then finish by rebuilding transitions, audio, and titles. Would be more likely to use this approach if and only if KBE are not changed while re-ordering the individual photo icons. On the other hand, if you do re-start the entire project, then you could "import" the photos as ordered groups (if you alredy have them grouped this way externally) and use the "auto add" feature to insert them into a new "project" and automatically apply the transitions (if all are the same) at the same time. (Also may be a good idea to start a new, separate project if your friend is one who is prone to constantly changing their mind.)
As to audio, how are you adding and adjusting it? Are you placing them in each photo segment or adding them as a background? Fading in/out seems to be automatic or non-existent depending settings, number of audio tracks, and where/how embedded. Do agree that the old "rubber band" approach did seem much more logical and offer better accuracy with regard to what you could do.

Imovie photo slideshow help

Hello! I am using imovie for the first time to make a photo slideshow set to music. I am up to about 100 pictures and for some reason, each one I add will only display for a few seconds. I change it to 5 seconds, and it will adjust but it will also reduce the # of seconds another slide displays. The more I change, the more that I see are only displaying for 1 or 2 seconds.
Is there a maximum length in imovie or is this something else?
Help is greatly appreciated.

The way transitions work is that they will take half from the slide in front and half from the slide behind.
For example, if you have 3 five second slides, it looks like this:
{5 second slide} {5 second slide} {5 second slide}
The total length is 15 seconds.
If you add two second transitions, it will look like this:
[4 second slide} {2 second transition} {3 second slide} {2 second transition} {4 second slide}
The total length is still 15 seconds.
For many applications, especially in video, this is the way most people want it.
If your prefer that all slides stay at 5 seconds with a two second transition in between, there is a trick. The total length in my example will now be 19 seconds, which is unacceptable for video, but is OK for stills.
To do this, go into File/Project Properties and set the default photo length to be 5 seconds, and set it to apply to all photos in the project, not just ones that are added in the future.

Exporting photo slideshow - HELP!

I've been trying to export my photo slideshow with final cut express 4, and every combination I've tried always comes out blurry when the photos have movement. I was able to export them clearer on imovie. There must be a way to import photos, give them movement and export them somewhat clearly. Can someone please let me know what they have done to achieve this.
Thanks,
David

Thanks for all you help Tom. However, It doesn't seem to be working. I just did a short 5 photo project with new photos and the result was the same using the previous steps - Blurry when in motion and clear when stopped. Do you know anyone who has had success with a photo slideshow with movement to view? Have you tried making one and burning to dvd.
Thanks again for all your time and help. For some reason this is trickier than it looks.

Iweb photo page help

I just got iweb and started playing around with it and already got stumped.
I created a welcome page and then added a photo page. My problem is that I only have 3 place holders for photos that work in the slideshow. These are also the only photos that are able to be clicked on and shown in their full size.
I can drag more photos on the page but the do not work on the slideshow. How can I get more placeholders for photos that will work in the slideshow? Also can photos that are in the placeholders become hyperlinks to other pages?
Thanks
Kenal0

Make sure that when you add photos to the page, that they are going in the actual album placeholder. The images should dynamically move around if you are adding them in the correct spot.

Disabled iWeb photo slideshows

I have created some photo collection websites with iWeb and they run fine as "slideshows" on my computer. However, the same slideshows won't work on my iPad. Does this have something to do with the incompatibilty of Flash on Apple mobile devices?? See what I mean at:

Thanks,

Past experience has taught me not to rely on media player assets on third party servers. Yahoo pulling the plug on the EasyListener player is a case in point.
As OT has pointed out, the slideshow works on other servers but, according to Cyclosaurus, some necessary assets are on the Apple server.
Wouldn't it be reasonable to expect that Apple will make these assets available after the demise of MobileMe if enough people requested this?
The iWeb method of getting media onto websites leaves a lot to be desired and there are a lot of other ways to display music, movies and photos. The photo page is one of iWebs few triumphs but there are many alternative slideshows and banners.
Most of these methods require that assets are uploaded to, ideally, your own server but its not so difficult once you grasp the concept and the basics of FTP.
iWeb does provide two other methods of publishing apart from MobileMe. The built in FTP is just as quick, easy and convenient as publishing to MobileMe once you set it up.
Publishing to a local folder and uploading via an FTP app. allows you to add SEO tags and optimize the files for faster download.
A good FTP application makes the task of uploading media player assets very easy - drag and drop.

There are trillions of slideshows to be found on the internets.
Download the one you like, make it work the way you want and put it on the server.
Display it in the browser to see if it looks the way you want.
Then use the <iframe> html element to display it in a HTML Snippet.

Help burning photo slideshow

We have a photo slideshow we will be showing at a big family event. It is in iPhoto and needs to be burned to a dve.. We are new at this and have been told that if we don't send it to idvd and use "ken burns" effect the pictures will come out looking bad. I apologize if this isn't clear, but isnt there a way to send a photo montage with effects (that aren't ken burns) to some burning software in iLife that doesn't require "ken burns' and still will look great when played on dvd machine?
Thanks, Jim

Jim:
To burn to a DVD disk so that it can play on a TV you need iDVD. I've never used the KB effect so can't comment on it's quality once it gets to iDVD. I've always created the slideshow in iDVD, added the transitions and music there. If the effects are not motion related then using the Share->Send to iDVD should give you a pretty good final product. I suggest you give that a try and then do a Save as Disk Image. That will encode the material and save it as a disk image that can be opened and played with DVD Player before you commit to burning to a disk. If it looks good then use Disk Utility to burn the disk image to disk: Burning a disk image file on a CD or DVD.
I prefer creating my slideshows directly in iDVD but one downside with that is you can have only one transition per slideshow. The upside is you can add titles and/or comments to all or just selected slides.
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.

Modern Photo Slideshow template help, please...

Hi guys and gals... Happy Thanksgiving! Now, back to work,
right? Yikes!
First time questioner, and I think I've done my due diligence
on searches, etc, but...
I am getting back into Flash usage after a few years off, so
I am pretty rusty. I'm stepping on the
Modern Photo Slideshow template that comes with CS3, and am
almost done! I've resized, deconstructed the god-awful controller
down to something simple and elegant, added all my client's 27
images, set the publisher to play=true...
BUT, I can't seem to break the code: I'm trying to get it to
start in Autoplay=1 mode (play on download), but it keeps skipping
the first frame. I've tried quite a few very simple code tweaks,
like changing various zeroes to ones, but can't seem to find the
rosetta stone.
If I simply add a null frame to the beginning, so that image
1 is at frame 2, it goofs up the framecount, as well as the looping
elegance. I guess that would be fine, if I could figure out the
proper syntax for making the framecount display (i.e.: 1 of 27)
equal to framecount-1 to compensate for the null frame at the
beginning. However, that 's just a Big Hammer method of solving my
problem. Surely there is a more effective and proper way?
Summary: All I really want it to do is start in
autoplayStatus=1 without blowing past the first image.
Anyone know if this is a simple code tweak? I'm so close, I'd hate
to switch to a different template, as the client loves what I've
currently got.
Thanks so much!

Found the answer: when you double-click the mc, controller
sitting on the stage, there is a frame script that has about 58
lines of code. Sitting at the bottom is
autoplayStatus = 0;. When you set the value to 1 (one) and
test the movie, is starts in auto-play mode.

Help with photo slideshow and deleting photos!!!

I wanted to know how you make a photo slideshow on the ipod and I also wanted to find out how to delete photos off of the ipod. I got them on but some I didn't want on there. How do I get them off?

Deleting photos? Easy.
The photos get on your nano through iTunes.
In iTunes you need to change the Preferences.
Plug in the nano, launch iTunes, open Preferences.
Look at the Photo tab - this will tell you what is being synced onto the nano.
Change this or remove the syncing altogether.
Hope that solves your question.
Have a look at this link for the iPod for Dummies:
iPod 101
lots of useful information there including photo slideshows.

Photo slideshow not working

Hi,
I've got a photo page which when I publish to a folder and click on a photo I get the brushed metal slideshow window with prev & next buttons, great. When I publish to .mac all I get when I click on a photo is the photo enlarged in it's own window, where has the prev/next interface gone?
Interestingly if this site is published to another host the prev/next interface appears, but not on .mac
Examples below, click photo.
Published to .mac (No slideshow prev/next interface)
http://web.mac.com/prudom.house/iWeb/PrudomHouse/Restaurant.html
Published to another host (With slideshow prev/next interface)
http://www.prudomhouse.com/PrudomHouse/Restaurant.html
Am I missing something really obvious?
TIA, Jules
MacBookPro Mac OS X (10.4.5)

iWeb Photo pages use a new-style slideshow when published to .Mac. This is accessed via the Start Slideshow button. As you've discovered, clicking on a thumbnail opens an enlarged version of the image in its own window. This is intended behaviour, and is among the differences listed in iWeb Help between publishing to a folder and publishing to .Mac. Search Help for 'slideshow' for a bit more info.

How to create a photo slideshow in my movie

Hello all,
Im woking on my first movie with Premier Elements 12 and I can not figure out how to include a slideshow of pictures at the end of my movie.
Of course I can drag the photos on the timeline and use trancients in between but there is nothing I can do with the picture like editting/cut parts off, make them black/white and use movement effects for example.
Isnt this an option/included in Premiere lements 12 ?
I just bought the software but also played around with the trial of Cyberlink Powerdirector which has this handy magic function to select all pictures at once and create different/random trancirents and effects and pictures could be editted also.
This is what Im after but I can not find how to do this stuff in Premiere lements 12.
Hope someone can help me out.
Thatnks in advance

AlexSan
Do you have Photoshop Elements 12 as well as Premiere Elements 12?
What is this "movie" that the photo slideshow is going to be at the end of? A video? If so, what are the
properties of that video...video and audio compressions, frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, file extension, pixel aspect ratio?
What is your intended final product...DVD-VIDEO standard or widescreen on DVD disc, AVCHD on DVD disc, or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc?
With the above information, I will suggest some approaches that you might want to look into.
Thanks.

Want to show image description in an iweb photo gallery

Is there a way to get the description data field to display for each photo when you make a gallery (or album page)? We took hours to add nice desctiptions for each photo and can't get them to show in the iweb/iphoto gallery.
I'm using 'publish to folder' so that I can host the gallery on my own website.
Also, each photo has the 'title' field showing, not even the file name I've given each photo. So the file name doesn't show either. Is there a way to show the file name?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.

bjenrol:
Where are these descriptions entered? If you used the Description field in iPhoto you can use this Applescript to move the descriptions to the title field which will display in the iWeb photo page. Be sure to remove the Å from the script before saving. It's an error. When you're done importing to iWeb you can use the Photos->Batch Change->Title to File Name to get the original file names back in that field.
