Links around slide show are obtrusive

Sorry- I need help again. How do you move the links around the slide show like: Back to Album, Play Slide Show, Download, Previous and Next?
Can you change the wording, position, font or color? They are pretty obtrusive. The My Albums Index page is much cleaner.
Can they be replaced by pictures?
or even controls like in Quicktime?
Or am I asking too much?
J- thanks

You can't change them easily. They are java based and it would be very difficult to change the java scripted link with type of link that you would like. There are play references in the iWebMediaGrid.js file and the sitename.html file but not sure which you'd change and how. Maybe one of the more advance users know of an easy way to change them.

Help: Links to Slide Show aren't working

I'm baffled & frustrated.
I've created a "Photo Albums" page which links 23 thumbnails to their album page. All the 23 links work to get you to the album page. But, on (only) 4 of them, the Slide Show button leads to an error page instead of to the slide show. The error page says:
Safari can’t open the specified address.
Safari can’t open “paris:%20Day%20in%20Senlis%20&%20Chantilly_files/slideshow.html” because Mac OS X doesn’t recognize Internet addresses starting with “paris:”.
(Each of the 4 error pages is slightly different.)
Best way to demonstrate this problem is to send you there to see. Here's the link to the Photo Albums page:
http://web.mac.com/karenmickleson/iWeb/Site%203/Photo%20Albums.html
The 4 which don't work are:
(from the 5th row down) Florence: Duomo; Italy: Tuscany; and Tuscany: Siena
And, from the last row: Paris: Day in Senlis & Chantilly
On these 4, when you get to the Album page & click on the Slide Show icon, you get the error message.
I've tried re-doing these 4 thumbnails on the iWeb page, to no avail. Can anyone help me figure this out?

Karen,
My problem was caused by changing page titles in the site organizer. I had read here in the forums that spaces, odd characters, etc could cause problems in some browsers when published so I removed all caps, spaces, etc. After those changes anything that was cached with the old titles wouldn't go to the new pages. There may be no connection to your problem. Have you tried publishing to a folder on your own computer to see if the problem is there also? If the problem is still there if you publish to a folder, you could do some experimenting without affecting your published site.
Here's something you could try:
Duplicate your "Domain" file and store it in a safe place. You can then play around with the duplicate without affecting the original. Build a new photo page with some of those same photos. Publish to a folder on your hard drive and open it with Safari. You may be able to isolate the problem this way without affecting your published site or your original "Domain" file. Once you figure it out you can make the changes to your original "Domain" file and then publish.
Good luck, David http://web.mac.com/phelpssculpture/iWeb/

How to ad link to slide show ? Help !!

I have this slide show and am trying to add a link to each image loaded, can anyone help me with this ?
I am new to this and have no clue how to go about this, so maybe you can help me with the completed code if you can !
thanks to anyone that can help. Here is the code.....

    clearInterval(timerInterval);
stop();

It doesn't look like the xml file matches the code. While folks here like to help, there's a point where the effort is fairly time consuming and it becomes doing your design work for you, which is what we normally do for a living. Your best bet will be to find something that has all of the features you want included in it. If you are willing to spend a little money, you can probably find one fairly inexpensive that you can tailor to your needs without having to edit the file code at all.
You can always wait to see if someone else responds.

How can I attach link to slide show

I want to create a slide show displaying pictures of my daughter's confections.
I can animate the pictures over the background using keyframes, but I would like to have an active link for her web page displayed somewhere on the page.
Thanks for any advice.
David

I created the slide show with Bionx's "PhotoPresenter". The music I used, "Sugar Sugar" was to long, so I sent the resulting QT file to FCPX to add the music, shorten it and add some taper.
I then sent the resulting QT file to "Keynote" and added the link to my daughter's confections web page and a link to the artist's iComposition address. For some reason, the link would not work for a direct access to the song. I had to link it to all of his songs, which is good. The artist has very graciously given me permission to use his excellent recording.

In PE11 the quality of the photos in the slide show are inferior to those in the catalogue. Why?

I have been on the phone for a few hours to Adobe but they are stil investigating. When I produce a slide show using Elements 11 the pictures are no way near as clear as they appear in the folders. I just want to show my pictures without them looking like crap. They were taken using the highest quality photo on the camera, which is a new Nikon and look great when viewing through Elements Organiser. They also look amazing in the original source, eg My Pictures files. When making slide show it asks the quality and I select high.
Does anyone else have a problem Or better still a solution????
Driving me nuts so any help appreciated.

DVD Standards are 720 x 480 NTSC, 720 x 576 PAL. So it doesn't matter how good the resolution is in your original images when you burn to DVD those resolutions will be reduced to one of the above.
So I suggest you follow the instructions earlier for File> Process Multiple Files and reduce the size in PSE to 720 x 576 (as you wanted a PAL DVD) and then create your slide show for further editing in PRE.
The reason for this suggestion is that it is generally considered in the PRE Community forum that PRE has a cruder image resizing algorithm than PSE.
If you think you may want to do Pan & Zoom on some of your images resize them to say 1000 pixels wide (with constrain proportions set).

Why isn't my DVD as clear and detailed as my original footage?

Use MBP to drive projector slide show / are special connectors needed?

Hi all,
Need to run a picture slide show this weekend at a banquet hall for a friends reception. The people at the hall tell me "No Problem" we have all the connectors etc. to run from a computer.
Worried that when I get there (too far to travel ahead of time) I might encounter problems.
I have the dvi to vga connector that came with MBP. Was planning to just run a slide show from iPhoto.
Anybody know if these projectors would typically run with this connector hook-up?
Any tips or advice greatly appreciated.
David Stamm

They should. Most projectors use VGA so if you have the proper adaptor for the computer then you can connect a standard VGA cable from the adaptor to the projector. But if you want to avoid any last minute surprises I would go look at the projector and cables that will be supplied at the presentation. Take your computer with you so you can test it out to be sure everything will work properly.

IPhoto Slide Shows are Choppy in Front Row

Hi all, thanks in advance for any advice you may have.
I can view slideshows smoothly when played directly from iphoto (08). However, when I view the same slideshow from within Front Row, there is a slow down when transitioning from one image to the next. This means the show gets out of sync with the music. I use the slideshows for my business, so this is unacceptable.
I'm fairly certain that this started happening with I upgraded to from Leopard to Snow Leopard.
Any ideas on what I could try to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Have you also inquired over in the Front Row forum? Your situation hasn't been discussed before here as far as I can tell.
Try clearing out iPhoto's cache folder, User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto, and rebuild the library's database, backup and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the last three options.
Click to view full size
See if that makes any difference.
If the slideshows are critical you might want to consider creating them as QT movies so the music stays in sync and playing the movies in Front Row.

How do I automatically link separate slide shows?

I understand the hyperlink linking, but that requires interaction. I want to add separate audio files to different groups, but want the different groups to play without having user interaction. Is that possible?
Thanks

I may be wrong, but I do not believe that you can do this in Keynote. Hyperlinks require a specific Click action on the Hyperlink trigger object in a slide.
Perhaps someone else in the Forum can provide more information or a clever workaround for this deficiency. We all would benefit.
Good luck.

Slide Show ERROR, Internal software\Vobulator\BlockPlanner\.cpp Line 217

I'm putting together a slide show DVD. There are a total of 7 slide shows containing 480 pictures. All pictures are jpg's about 1000X1600 pixels and 500KB-700KB each. I have 3 menus for navigation. Not all of the chapter menu buttons point to a "slide show", some of them point to a picture inside certain slide shows according to my client's requests. (example, slide show 1 contains 70 pictures. Chapter 1 points to "slide show 1" Chapter 2 points to "slide show 1 photo 50"). All slide shows are linked so that when the first slide show is over, it will automatically "end action" to the next slide show etc... All my settings are typical. NTSC 4:3 SD 720X480 progressive.
There are NO video files in my DVD at all. No timelines at all. No audio at all.
The Symptoms/problem that I'm getting is this, when I try to Preview my DVD and ALSO when I try to build my DVD, the build will go through and "build the slide shows" then after it does that, this will come up
I've read some of the previous posts (one of them is in French for cryin out loud. Had to use Bing translator and it sounds all weird). What I can gather is this,
Re: internal software error: .\Vobulator\BlockPlanner\BlockPlanner.cpp, line 217
I found out it was due to selecting an image file as the video layer
in a menu, causes the error everytime. I just paste the image in with
'edit in photoshop' instead now. But thanks."
Another person said just about the same thing... The only problem is, I have no idea what this means. I don't know what it means to "select an image file as the video layer in a menu..."
Hardware/software is as follows:
custom build:
i5 processor (4 core) 2.6ghz
8 GB RAM 1333MHz
300GB C: drive (2X150 GB 10K RPM Raptors)
1.2TB D: drive (2X7,200 RPM 640GB WD's)
Burner is LG Super multi
secondary burner is Sony Commercial Blu-Ray burner
Video card is Saphire Build (Radeon 5450 PCI-E 16X)
Windows 7 X64 Pro
All Adobe is CS5 Production package.
If I'm leaving anything out, please let me know.
HELP! and Thanks. I'd really love to fix this without rebuilding the whole DVD. Take long time.

Pan & zoom slide show in pre11

I usually include 5 to 15 slides in a typical video project for my grandkids. I am new to pre11. I did not do any tutorials on slide shows (are there some good ones?) What I have done is:
1. move the stills into the video track
2. select the first slide and do <tools><pan and zoom>
3. Adjust the keyframes
4. Move to the <next> slide, etc
If I play this part, I notice that the slide comes up still for about 1/4 second or so ane then starts the pan and zoom movement, and then at the end of that slide it get's still again for about 1/4 second. This is irratating for me to watch. Even if I put a 2 second cross dissolve transition between each slide, I still notice that delay in the movement. I can go in to each slide and split the clip at the beginning and the end and delete out the still parts. This makes the process very time consuming. Am I missing something? Is this what Adobe intended?
Your help would be appreciated.

In my example (think that was the L-R Pan Preset only), the "hold" Keyframe is about 10 Frames in. To eliminate that completely, I would just click+drag that Keyframe to the first Frame of the Clip.
Were I doing the Keyframing manually, I would set my first Keyframe (the duration that I wish to hold the static Still Image), then add additional Keyframes, as needed. Finally, and depending on the "look" that I wanted, I would Rt-click on each Keyframe, and change the Interpolation to say Bezier.
For the basics of manual Keyframing (infinitely powerful), I recommend Steve Grisetti's Basic Keyframing in the Learning Series on the Adobe PrE "sister-site," Muvipix.com. It's the best tutorial on PrE Keyframing (similar to, but mechanically different than, Keyframing in PrPro), that I have seen. Once the concept of Keyframing is realized, and then the mechanics of doing so in PrE has been learned, there is really no limit to the power and use of Keyframes. The Presets are basically instant ways to do that Keyframing, with but a click. However, the full power comes from either tweaking those automatic Preset Keyframes, or doing it manually. Nearly every Effect, though not all, can be Keyframed to be applied over time - that is what Keyframing is - an Effect (either Fixed, like Rotation, Position, Motion, etc., or applied, like Blur) can be altered over time.
Good luck, and hope that helps,
Hunt
PS - don't feel bad about missing the Applied FX tab. That particular Tab was added in PrE 11, and I still have to search around a bit, as some things have moved, and some terms have been changed, with PrE 11.

Slide Show File Names

To All,
Is it neccessary to have individual file names for all the files in all the slide shows?
I created a DVD with several slide shows that contian many images from my digital camera. Some of the files have the same name (ie:, DCS_004). All the slide shows stayed together while I put the presentation together. But now, when I reopen the iDVD file, I'm asked to find all the files for each slide show (which I have in individual folders). I choose the first slide for each show, the others followed automatically. But the problem is that the slide shows are all mixed up. Images (with the same name) from different shows (folders) are appearing in different slide shows. Should iDVD automatically find the images rather than me having to find each slide show???
Thanks in Advance,
Craig

You can do it in Encore 2.0.
Select all the slides in the slideshow, then go to Properties and turn on subtitles with the Name property checked. The name of the slide will now appear as a subtitle over the slide (make sure to enable subtitles when you link to the slideshow).

How can I get a clearer Movie for my web page when trying to export a slide show in iPhoto.

In iPhoto I am exporting a slide show in the display (size) 1280x800, the original images in the slide show are 600 dpi @ 11" x 8.96". I am using iPhoto 11 Version 9.4.2 on my MacBook Pro OSX version 10.8.2. I am using a wipe transition with a total slide show length of about 17 minutes long with about 96 images. The Display.m4v is 543.8 MB. The slide show is crystal clear when played before downloading to a movie, but once it is in a movie format it is no longer clear. What else can I tell you?

600 dpi @ 11" x 8.96"
600 x 11 = 66,000 pixels and you're reducing them to 1280...
What happens if you export without the wipe?

PSE 7 Slide Show problems

I have used Photoshop 7 on my computer running vista very successfully but a problem has now arisen. When I use slide show to show some of my selections the pictures are pixelated. This does not apply to all selections. I note that the pixelated pictures are c 400% but the ones that are ok are 40%. If I do not allow the pictures to resize in slide show thet are only small. Any help would be appreciated. This has only happened recently and I cant remember if I have had an adobe downloaded update which might have affected this.

Hi Bob
Thanks for coming back to me so quick, I will try & explain the problem in
more detail.
I have all of the photos in My Catalogue tagged ie 2009 Holiday, Mothers
Birthday etc so that by selecting the tag and then display in full screen I
can show them in a slide show to friends & family. This has always worked
well until last week when I called up a slide show of a past holiday the
pictures were very pixelated. All photos are not affected. Some holidays I
select in slide show are ok. If I look at individual pictures in my
catalogue most are ok but many are pixelated. Any pictures that have not
been adjusted in PSE 7 are ok.
Any picture viewed in full screen in slide show has in the top left pop up
menu a % of less than 100%, typically 35 - 75%. Any of the pixelated
pictures have a % 350 - 450%.
I originally had Elements 2 but upgraded to PSE 7 when I changed to Vista
because of album problems, apart from problems converting my catalogue
originally all has worked very well. Apart from the recent update the only
other thing which I have done is to start a back up which I aborted because
it was taking a long time to do. I have 4,600 photos in my catalogue and the
problem slide shows are random throughout but appear to be trouble free up
to about the end of 2004. ie a holiday slide show before then seems to be
ok. The latest photos put into the catalogue this month, post upgrade & post
attempted back up are ok. I have also found that if I expand a photo that
has been modified in PSE 7 although the modified picture is pixelated the
original displays ok. I hope that this more fully explains my problem but if
you require more information please let me know. I really do appreciate you
looking at this for me. It is very frustrating when something that was
working perfectly for me then goes **** up!

Error message in iDVD with Slide show from iPhoto 09

I have about 130 photos in a slide show with music in iPhoto 09. The slide show settings are for the whole slide show are Ken Burns effect, each slide about 8.1 seconds, random transitions, and music fit to the slide show..I Went to "Share" Send to DVD.
In DVD, I type in a title and a photo in the drop zone, then I chose as a Burn as a Disc Image. It does some encoding and then a I get an error message when it finishes that says " There was an error during the rendering of the menus/slideshows. The burning process has been canceled".. This basically tells me Nothing!!
What is wrong? How can I fix this? Using OS 10.5.7 intel dual core. iMac desktop.
Previously, I had successfully created a DVD of this same slide show, made one DVD, but after seeing in on my DVD player, I tried to fix some things, like fitting the music to the slide show, but that is about all. Frustrated!!
Any help will be appreciated....Thanks.

This sounds more like an iDVD issue than an iPhoto one. I would post on the iDVD forum here:

Slide Shows in iLife, iPhoto, iWeb '08 and Web Gallery

I have iLife '08 abd thus iWeb '08 and developed my website in 2006 using iWeb '06. I also belong to .Mac and therefore have access to that Web Gallery or .Mac Gallery (unsure which name it has). I like the newer slide shows/carousels that are newly available and would like to know whether I can make such slide shows and place such slide shows in my iWeb website.
I realize that another alternative is to make a slide show and put it in the Web Gallery and access it in my website via a URL pointing to the slidehow.
Is it true that ALL OF THE VARIATIONS OF SLIDE SHOWS are created in iPhoto '08? If so, then I guess if I make the slideshows there, I can decide where I want to place them (in my website or in Web Gallery).

Go to web gallery, find out the album ID that you need to delete.
iDisk -> Web -> Sites -> _gallery
Delete the album ID of the albums that arn't in iphoto.
Then resync the albums missing.
