Looping photo slide show

I've created a series of images that fade in and out. When i run the movie the transition from the last picture which fades out to the first image is not smooth. it transitions from a faded out image to a 100% opacity image. how can i smooth this transition?

What is not smooth about the transition from faded out to 100% opacity? Is this a timeline-based animation where you have timeline tweens for the fading images? How does the first image transition in when it first starts (visually)? How does the first image transition to the second image (visually)? How should the last image transition to the first image (visually)?

Looping photo slide show in media manager

I want to use the media manager to loop a presentation of photos from my PC. they only run through one time and then I need to hit ok on the remote to restart. Is there a repeat or continuous loop option? I want to run them throughout the day at a party
Thanks

How do I loop a slide show in Elements?

How do I loop a slide show in Elements. The slide show is made and runs, biut only once.

I don’t think it’s possible in the slideshow editor but the simplest method is to place your photos in an album and then select the first thumbnail and hit the F11 key. Select the tools icon and choose repeat.

How can I control the music that plays during Apple TV photo slide shows?

I don't want to make my parents listen to Breaking Benjamin music as they watch my photo slide shows on Apple TV. Need something more sedate. But if a B.B. song is in my iTunes music library, it is a candidate for random selection as background music for my slide shows. How do I control what music plays during Apple TV photo slide shows?

What I find is really silly, is the fact the music video's are listed under that artists albums in the Music menu. And when you go into the video 'album' (called 'Unknown' unless you change it) there is an option to shuffle the tracks. Clicking this just results in an error message. So, they should either remove that option if it is a video album, or, better yet, GET IT TO WORK. So silly of them to omit this.
I have submitted feedback.

In iOS 4, you could make separate photo slide shows with separate songs. In iOS 5, this has changed. Now only 1 song is allowed at a time. It will not save separate song selections for each slide show. Is there any way to fix this? This is something I

I am on an iPad 2, 32gb, wifi...
Thank you

My Photos app works the same on iOS 5 as it did on iOS 4 i.e. I can have a different track for each album. When I select a track for a photo album I then start the slideshow so that it shows the first couple of photos with the track playing - I'm not sure it's necessary to start the slideshow but I always do and it remembers that track for that album.

I need to do non-constrained crops for Ken Burns effect in photo slide show

I am making photo slide shows in imovie '09. I understand the Ken Burns effect and how to set a start and an end point. I want to use the effect on vertical or portrait mode photos. i would like to have the entire photo displayed in portrait mode and have it zoom in a bit. The problem is The start and end points seem to only be horizontal or landscape mode. I can't ever get the entire image selected. How can I do this?
Thanks,
Tim

You need to add the letterbox (black space) in another application. iMovie's Ken Burns effect will not do it for you. You can do it in Photoshop if you like.
However, there is a way to do it in Automator, and you can do hundreds of vertical photos very quickly. That is the way I do it.
Here is more detail:
There is also a quick way to pad your images without using Photoshop. This method will pad hundreds of images in just a few seconds.
You do it with a tool that comes with OS/X called Automator. It should be in your Applications/Utilities folder.
Automator is basically a workflow tool. It allows you to string together commands and actions into a workflow and then execute the entire sequence at once. If you have Snow Leopard, you can even add these workflows to your contextual menus that come up when you right-click.
There are many workflows that would work to pad your images. Here is an example:
In Automator, start a photo workflow and drag the following actions into the workflow from the Action palettes on the left.
You should have something like:
1)Ask for Photos (You must select one or more photos and hit Select - you can make this easier by putting them in an album beforehand)
2) Copy Finder Items (give it a folder to copy to- so you can find them easily)
3) Pad Images. (put a check mark in "scale image before padding" Pick the pixel dimensions of your project...like 640x480 or 960x540. or 1920x1080
Hit Run and a dialog box will come up asking you to select photos. When you are finished, press SELECT and the Automator script will keep running.
Then at the end you should have padded images in the folder you created in step 2.

Screen Saver Photo Slide Show...

...Hello... This used to work but for some reason it doesn't any more. Whenever I go to the screen saver preferences and choose a folder full of pictures to use as a photo slide show screen saver, it says 'folder contains no pictures'. However, is DOES contain pictures but won't recognize them. All the other screen saver features work besides this one. I tried to download and install some screensaver a while back and it hasn't worked since then... Any ideas? Thanks =)

How can I do this photo slide show

I just ran across this outstanding photo slide show, of Led
Zepplin. I want to be able to put this type of slide show on my
website with my own images.
http://www.time.com/time/photoessays/2007/led_zeppelin/
Can anyone direct me to a tutorial of Flash or other program
that might be where I need to go?
Thanks,
Dan

check this out:

all free and very nice. they load dynamic images - so its its
really quick and light weight. another nice thing - you CAN buy
these if you want and edit the fla file to your own means. im sure
you could add the audio dynamically too pretty easy.

What is best app for photo slide show with music

Photoshop, Elements, or LR - for photo slide show with music

Are those the only choices you want to consider? Which do you already use? Here's my take on the slideshow capability in each:
Photoshop CS6 and CC: You can create slieshows in a video format but you will have to crawl through hoops and climb barrels to get what you want. The timeline feature of Photoshop is not exactly intuitive.
Elements: Can't comment since I have never used the software.
Lightroom: much easier than Photoshop to create a slideshow but also extremely feature limited. Slideshows can run directly from the software or rendered as a video. Only one music track is allowed with limtied transitions effects. Want the fabled 'Ken Burns' effect? Forget it!
Neither of these choices specifically target slideshow creation and I would certainly not pick any for this purpose (unless you already use them). Best to seek software dedicated for slideshows. Several are free.

Photo Slide Shows - inconsistent quality

Last summer I burned a very complicated idvd photo slide show using digital photos in RAW format from my Nikon D70 and the slides looked really great. I just tried to do it again - same camera, same lens, still in RAW and the photos - while looking good during construction and test runs, come out very fuzzy on the burned dvd. I'm really puzzled. Can anyone explain what I might have done differently to yield such different results? [and how I get back to the good results?)

Tom,
I hope you have read Preparing images for DVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/17.html
The best you can do is get about a 640x480 equivalent image on a DVD - that's about 0.3 megapixels - so there is NO way you can match the image quality of your high resolution digital images.
Despite their names, you will get slightly better image quality using the 'Best Performance' mode than you will with the 'Best Quality' mode. Perhaps you used BP before and BQ now.
I have used FotoMagico for creating slideshows and feel I got better image quality than iMovie or iDVD and some people like Photo to Movie.

Trying to overlay photo slide show over video

Hi, I'm relatively new to iMovie but couldn't seem to work this one out myself.
I've have video of myself talking, and without disrupting the audio track, I would like to overlay a photo slide show of still images over part of my dialog, but can't figure out how to do this. Ideally, the video would fade out/fade in to the photo slide show, but the audio track would remain constant, and then when the photo slide show is completed, fade out/fade in to the straight video again.
Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!

Select the clip with the audio and use Clip>Detach Audio. You have to put the stills on the main video track because you can't add transition to stills or clips on the overlay or B-roll track. Once the audio is separated you can replace the picture with stills and start building your slideshow on the video track.

Help! during my photo slide show/some screens are green and/colored-why

This is my first photo slide show in IMOVIE 8, when I go to "play" my slide show, some photo are NOT showing up INSTEAD a "colored" screen comes up. WHY? Not sure what I did wrong.

I to have the same problem. It is very annoying, I name my photos so that they would be in a specific order or grouping.
It appears that a programmer slipped? When I write code to copy files I would sort the list by filename as done in OS versions prior to 4.0.
The order of the photos is now in the order that they were added to the folder which is then sync'd to our pods.
I for one am not willing to remove and rebuild my whole photo library re-adding the photos to the sync'd in the order I wish to see them every time I wish to add more photos.
It is a disappointment, but I have not been online in a couple of weeks and maybe Apple has caught on and put filename sorting back into the code.
