Keynote/idvd/imovie question

I have a specific project that needs to be done and I want to ensure that I do it in the most effective way.
I need to make a professional slideshow to be shown in seminar rooms for training purposes. The show needs to have text headings, pictures of people and music (more than one song/presentation). There is a possibility of needing graphs/charts as well.
The tricky part is that it won't be static. We'll be changing the pictures everytime we show it (they will be pictures of the participants in each individual seminar) and we will change the music as well.
I need something that makes it really easy to swap music and pictures, and it needs to be somehow projected (picture and sound) for a large audience (100?).
I am thinking that I'll do it in keynote and export to idvd, but I think the music will be hard since we want more than one song per presentation. Can you export keynote to imovie? If so, I think that will be the easiest. I could do the whole thing in imovie, but that seems complicated.
Any ideas would really be appreciated.

It does not need to be interactive at the time it is shown, there will be access to a mac or we can run it off of a DVD (actually anything is possible and it is up to me so I want to plan in advance for whatever the best route may be), and yes, there will be different slides and there will need to be different music throughout. Let me know if I understood and answered all your questions.
Part of the challenge is that the music may have to be changed every 3 months or so (we will have a seminar once a week and show the presentation once each week) and the pictures will change every week (based on current participants).

16:9 and iDVD/iMovie question.

hey all again lol. I dont know why the general questions stump me and the more detailed ones i understand. but here it goes.
1 If i shoot a movie on my cam in 16:9 that means i want my imovie and idvd sessions to be 16:9 right?
2 and if i shoot my movie normal then i would want to use the normal imovie/idvd setting correct?

lol thank you...yeah when i import into imovie it goes in and looks like regular tape but once i finish it encodes (or whatever its called) and then transferes it correctly when its done

What's the best export format for Keynote to iMovie?

Okay, here is the situation, I have a lengthy Keynote presentation which I plan to export via QuickTime so it can be imported in to iMovie in order to do voice-overs. The question I have is what the best format is to use to export from Keynote in order to import in to iMovie. I am obviously looking for the format which is the smoothest, doesn't lose any quality, and will look clear once imported in to iMovie. Also, there is no reason to use H.264 since size during the transfer doesn't really matter to me, besides, H.264 seems to be somewhat jerky with Keynote exports (or maybe it's just my computer) as I am using some of the graphics intensive transitions and effects.
Also, I know that when you send movies directly from Keynote to iDVD or from iMovie to iDVD, it uses a format which is directly compatible and there is no conversion that takes place, is there a format which will work this way from Keynote to iMovie or does it always have to do the conversion.
Finally, the other thing you should know is that I created the presentation in Keynote using 1280x720 in order to achieve the true widescreen aspect ratio. Now, I am NOT looking to keep this in HD, once I import it in to iMovie, I only need the standard DV Widescreen resolution since I will eventually transfer it to iDVD to burn it as a widescreen DVD. So, I would also appreciate some sort of input as to whether I should export the QuickTime file out of Keynote as the full 1280x720 and then let iMovie do the down-sampling, or should I export it directly out of Keynote using the standard definition widescreen resolution? Please, I would appreciate ANY help on this!!!

Hi Cornelius,
this is the workflow I had which worked fine for me:
My situation was that I had two existing movies in different formats, which a had to filet, add keynote foiles at the beginning (like "Confidemus presents" and so on), between chapters and at the end.
The best way to stick all this together was indeed to export to Qicktime and there to choose the highest resolution. There are several options. The most important point was to have all transitions within foils in keynote approprately defined, because after export it is not possible to do something in iMovie with it.
After having edited the movie in iMovie (that means adding transitions), next I will use Garageband to add sound. So you see that is the point where I'm standing at the moment. I have one time edited sound with iMovie, but Garageband seems to be more sufficient to do that. I have done a little radio play together with my daughter with Garageband and I found it very nice and - of course - easy to use. There are more effects in it and when you are familiar with this editing scheme in Garageband you will love it.
All the best

Just want to add.
I replied to them for a waiver., and they reply with quite a similar email again, without helping.
The customer service IMO just use a template to answer question. Refer me back to the developer , which is apple itself

Help with exporting Keynote to iMovie

Hello, I am working on a project in both Keynote and iMovie in which I am making some slides in Keynote, exporting them as Quicktime, and then importing them into iMovie. The slides primarily are composed of scanned pages from a book and thus have lots of small type. In Keynote, the text comes out very sharp and I can read it all perfectly. When I import the Quicktime movie into iMovie, however, the text looks very blurred and is almost unreadable. It looks like a JPEG which has been compressed way too much. However, I believe I have all of the compression settings set as high quality as possible. All of the other Keynote slides export and import just fine, only the text is giving me problems. Could someone please show me how I can export the Keynote slide so that the text shows up in iMovie just as clear as it looks in Keynote?
Thank you very much,
Daniel Baker

well, in that case you need to determine if this issue only happens with a perticular report or all of them, if it happens only with reports imported from 5.x or with newly created reports as well.
Looks like it is happening only when report is exported from Infoview, not in the Deski client. This might indicate a problem at the Web Apllication server (tomcat or one you use).
If this issue is happening with any report - it might be a bug. In that case you have no options as there are no more patches for XIR2.
On the other hand - if all you need is to extract data for consumption in another tool , why not use Data integrator instead ?
Also, if this desn't work in Deski - does it work if you convert your reports to webi and export from those ?

TS4213 Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?

Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?
Examples of what is going on:
1. In Pages, Numbers & Keynote, when I go to the media browser the Audio section reads "Open iTunes to populate this list" even after iTunes has been opened, .xml file has been replaced/repaired, etc AND Photo section reads "Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list" even after iPhoto Library has been replaced and new default library created.
2. In iMovie, similar thing ... when I go to add photos or music to a movie the iTunes files aren't present and the iPhoto photos are missing with similar messages as in #1.
3. In iPhoto, similar thing ... when I go to add music to a slideshow it says to "Open iTunes to populate this list".
It is shocking to me that Apple would let something as simple as a pathway link to associated library files get this messed up on an upgrade, but what's even more surprising is that with the number of people who seem to be having this particular issue (and I can tell from all the research that I've done for weeks online that there are a lot of them) that there doesn't seem to be a single clear answer to fixing it anywhere on these community support forums. Most of what I've seen is rehashed advice from outdated issues. What I need is a simple answer to how do we get these programs to look for the correct location of the photo and music files because I sure can't seem to find any logical place to do that through the programs' preferences files or the system preferences window?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Here's the details on the software/hardware:
MacBook Pro
Mac OS X
Version 10.7.5
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
iTunes 11.0.4 (4)
iPhoto '11 9.4.3 (720.91)
iMovie '11 9.0.9 (1795)
Keynote '09 5.3 (1170)
Pages '09 4.3 (1048)
Numbers '09 2.3 (554)

I have the same problem on a new MacBook Pro. I have not been able to access the iTunes library from iPhoto since I got this computer. I looked in the Preferences file and deleted the com.apple.iApps.plist but there was no com.apple.iApps.lockfile so I just deleted the iAPPs.plist and rebooted the computer. Still no iTunes available in iPhoto.
All my music is in iTunes and plays. After reading the above I brought up Pages and I was able to access music and insert a track into a document.
Do you have any suggestions.

Byron,
maybe I didn't explain it right: commercial DVDs don't mean movies with commercials - it means they are available to buy in stores (commercially).
And, if you want to make your own movie, we can help you here using iMovie, but as I and MadisonP said, you can't easily copy purchased DVDs because they have protection built in (they don't want you to copy the movie). Since these are purchased DVDs, it may not be worth your while to spend money on any software if it is not going to work anyway.
And asking is just fine - how do you find out if you don't ask....
This is why we can't talk about it:

You are asking how to make pirate copies of commercial DVDs that you have somehow ripped to your Mac?
As that is illegal in most countries, being a flagrant breach of copyright, it is also against the terms of use of these forums to discuss it.

How to convert VCD files into readable format on iDVD, iMovie, DVD player

I found a bunch of old VCDs that I want to convert so that I can use them on iDVD, iMovie. What is the best free converter and would appreciate any tips as to the best way to reduce any loss of resolution. I tried last year converting thru mpeg streamclip and the movie came out pixelated in .mov.

ffmpeg might be very difficult to install and use, but not FFMpegX. FFMpegX takes ffmpeg, adds a very simple Mac OS X UI on top, and packages it as an application bundle. No files to put in strange places, and simple to use.
I highly recommend it. It comes preconfigured with setting for common file formats and automatically recognizes the input format. You can simply tell it to convert a directory of files from whatever format they were in to H.264 QuickTime movies and it'll do it.

I lost iPhoto, iDVD, iMovie! How can I get them back?

Hi,
I have a PowerBook G4, which originally came with Panther. It came with iPhoto, iDVD, iMovie, Garageband (I think that's it... basically iLife). I bought Tiger and upgraded it. These programs were all still here, and with some downloads, were actually updated. Unfortunately, I was having problems with Mail, Safari, and other programs and I erased my hard drvie and started over. Before doing this, I saved all of my photos, movies, projects, etc, to an external hard drive.
Anyway, when I reinstalled Tiger, it installed it as it comes from the store, not as an upgrade, meaning iLife is not included and installed! So, I paid for all of these programs, which were originally included, and now I don't have them anymore. I tried loading them off of my original recovery discs, but the only way I think I might be able to do that is if I erase everything and start over with Panther, then reinstall Tiger. I'm not sure this will even work, and I know it will take a long time, which I don't have.
Does anyone know how I can get these programs, which I already paid for, without buying iLife?
Thanks

I don't have panther but with my "full disc" of Tiger you can do it this way:
Put in the DVD of Tiger
Open pacifist-> press "not yet" or pay if you want
Open package, choose the DVD of Tiger, there choose "install bundled software"
then click open
now it's looking through the DVD and gives you all the options
for example:contentsofiMovieHDpackage
now click on that one once, then on the top either choose 'install" or "extract to"

Trying to share a completed iMovie project with iDVD. iMovie keeps quitting. Why?

I've been trying to share a completed iMovie project with iDVD. iMovie keeps quitting unexpectedly. Why does it keep crashing?

Click on the button near the top of the window where it says Project Library (it toggles between Library and edit Project).
Click just once on the name of the project, so that it highlights in blue.
Go to File Menu > Duplicate Project. There will now be a second project with the same name, but with a number added to the end of the name
Open that duplicated project by double-clicking it
Lastly, Check out this Discussion Thread from September
I movie quits unexpectedly during editing and publishing
from Jasonryan1. It relates to a corrupted item existing in his project. And in his attempt to troubleshoot it, he suspected it was a Title he placed in the Project itself. Once he deleted the corrupted Title he was able to successfully export it. As to which item is causing instability, that's a tricky process to narrow down. And I would agree it seems unlikely all your projects could have some corrupted element in them. But it might work to concentrate on the simplest project which is showing the symptoms you describe. Duplicate that project and start deleting pieces of it and trying to add a Title to it and see if iMovie crashes. And that's not to say it's a title, it could just as easily be a picture, a transtion or a music clip that's preventing that project from being exported.

How to install iDVD/iMovie on Tiger if you have the Leopard version of iLif

I have iLife '09 and iWork '09. Will these work on Tiger 10.4.11? I bought those for my Leopard computer. But the computer with Tiger I don't think it will run on it. How do I get the Tiger version of iDVD, iMovie, iPhoto, and all the other apps included in iLife and iWork? Would I have to get another CD and pay full price?

Error con archivos multimedia de keynote y imovie

hola. sucede que cuando habro keynote o imovie, las fotos que importe a iphoto no me aparecen en archivos multimedia para poder desde el mismo keynote o imovie hacer uso de ella, quiero aclarar que si podía y era mas fácil, y ahora no puedo.

Uno de nuestros clientes está recien implementado y un backup hecho por SQL no ocupa más de 200 Mb, el otro por su parte ya tiene una base más antigua y su backup es de proximadamente 2Gb.
La configuración la hemos hecho de varias formas
Inicialmente dejamos marcada la opción para que el servicio arranque automáticamente con el sistema operativo
e iniciamos el servicio.
Posteriormente seguimos uno a uno los siguientes pasos:
1. Botón Shedule: Lo seleccionamos como diario (Daily) con una hora X en el campo time (ejemplo: 05:00)
2. Botón Settings: Lo hemos definido como C: en ambas rutas
3. Botón Connection: Realizamos conexión con usuario válido de SQL ya sea utilizando servidor LOCAL o
usando la IP del mismo.
4. Botón Database: Seleccionamos las bases de datos que necesitamos.
Este procedimiento nos sirve en los demás clientes y en nuestras máquinas sin problema,
el inconveniente es exclusivamente con dos clientes puntuales.
Al notar el error hemos intentado configurar primero e iniciar el servicio después, pero el resultado sigue siendo el mismo.
Tratamos de desinstalar el Server Tools y volverlo a instalar, pero tampoco funcionó.
Ambas compañías se encuentran en PL09 SP01; sin embargo, otras que tenemos en el mismo parche funcionan correctamente.
Agradezco su interés y cualquier aporte que nos ayude con el tema.

Why can I not use my itunes purchased songs in idvd/imovie?

Upto about two months ago I had no problem adding itunes purchased songs in my idvd / imovie projects - now I cannot. A warning message comes up about needing to authorise the computer and although I am using the same mac as I did when purchasing the tracks I still go through the process of authorisation - the tracks are still not available.
I have just purchased an xbox 360 and when connecting my ipod my purchased songs are once again unavailble to play even though I can play them using my ipod in the normal way.
Any ideas would be very welcome, thanks!!

You're allowed play the music on up to 5 devices. Each device must be authorised. Unless you can connect the xbox to the apple store to be authorised, you will not be able to play the music on it.
