Lost Picture Slide Show when Moved to iDVD

Hello all -
I made a movie in iMovie using family video. I added pictures from iPhoto in the body of the movie. When I used the Media Browser to transfer the project to iDVD so that I could burn DVD's for my family, the photos did not transfer. The edited movie and all the music was fine. Any ideas?
Many thanks.

Welcome to Apple discussions.
You may be trying to do your project the hard way. If I want to share a movie on the Internet I use iMovie 08. If I want to make a DVD, or think I will ever want to make a DVD of a movie I use iMovie 06. (It's just easier.)
Others have had the same problem with iMovie 08. iMovie 08 is not really designed for DVD burning (yes it can be done with difficulty).
I use iMovie 06 (with iDVD 08) if I think I will ever put the movie on a DVD.
It's a free upgrade to iLife 08 owners.

How do you add a new thumbnail to a slide show when using in-browser editing?

how do you add a new thumbnail to a slide show when using in-browser editing?

At this moment you can’t add pictures to a slideshow. You only can replace them.

How can I run a picture slide show continuously on my playbook?

I would like to run a picture slide show on a continuous loop but I cannot find any settings to accomplish that. Does anyone know how or if I can do that?
Thank you.

Hi BERVEN,
You state that you are very disappointed because you have not been given a solution. Well, don't be disappointed with your new BBPB because it can indeed do what you want and I have the solution for you right here.
STEP 1: TAP the PICTURES APP (on the homescreen) quick-like with your finger.
---- Immediately, all the ALBUMS containing all your photos show on the screen.
---- You will have saved your photos here, grouped by date or subject or other sort order, depending on how your photos were grouped together on your PC or MAC before you transferred them.
STEP 2: TAP one of your "ALBUMS"
----------- Pictures are stored in albums, which is sensible.
------------- If they were downloaded from pc "folders", then a "folder" in Windows becomes an "ALBUM" in the BBPB.
------------- All the pictures in the album are now visible to you (swipe down to see more if there are many)
STEP 3: TAP PICTURE #1 in that album. Now you will be given 2 choices:
------------ You can "swipe" right to see each individual picture still
------------- OR go to Step 4 (and there you will find the answer to your question)
STEP 4: Touch that first picture
The result of touching the screen is that the screen pops up the BACK, PLAY, FORWARD on-screen controls you want.
The 3 MOTION CONTROLS ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PICTURE --- ON THE PICTURE ITSELF. Press the middle control, which is the LARGEST ONE --- and Wow, YOUR SLIDE SHOW IS RUNNING ALL BY ITSELF!
You can play ALL the pictures in your PlayBook in a slideshow, together, regardless of which albums they are in ---- one big show, if you like. Let me know if this worked for you, okay?

Nivo Picture Slide-Show Problems

Hi, I have been trying to correctly implement this Nivo Picture Slider into my website for awhile now, so far I have not been able to get it working the way I want it to.
I uploaded the website I am currently working on to a temporary link so I am able to show anyone willing to help where I am with the page and slider business. The coding for the nivo slider may be sloppier than intended because I tried adding things little by little to see if I could get it to work.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong and let me know how I can get this Nivo picture slide show up and running? I'm looking to make it so that the image in the banner area underneath the logo switches to another picture every few seconds.
As always, any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Above is the link to the website so far, ignore the website layout looking wild please, I know what's causing that problem. I just need to get the slide show working.

I would start by ensuring the links to your javascript files are coded correctly. You have a LOT of scripts all linked as CSS. You can also combine these into far fewer files.
<link href="jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="jquery.nivo.slider.js" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> 
<link href="css/jQuery.js" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="css/jQuery.min.js" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="jquery.prettyPhoto.js" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="cufon-yui.js" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="swfobject.js" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="pk_frontend.js" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="font.js" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
All of the above should start <script type="text/javascript" href="FileLocation.js" />.

Slide Show from iPhoto to iDVD

How do I transfer a slide show from iPhoto to iDVD? I like the effects in the show make in iPhoto, and I don't see anything comparable in iDVD. Thanks.

Export the slideshow to QT and then add the QT movie file to an iDVD slideshow. This will scale the movie file to the TV safe area like it does with still photos avoiding the approx. 10% image loss due to TV overscan on older TV set.
Another slideshow application to consider is PhotoPresenter which offers over 25 animated themes, some of which are demostrated here.

Picture Slide Show - Macbook Pro with retina display

Is the Macbook Pro with retina display capable of doing picture slide shows with music, or do I have to purchase additional software?

The only benefit that the Retina has over the standard MacBook Pro is the display. It is slightly thinner (and lighter), but with the 13" model, the difference is fairly minimal. If you're comfortable carrying the Retina, you'd be fine carrying the MB Pro as well. Also, for all intents and purposes, while the display on the standard MB Pro is not a Retina display, it is still one of the best displays on the market and will easily provide a better image quality than most displays in similarly classed laptops. Another thing to consider is that both the 13" Retina and standard MBP have only an integrated HD4000 GPU. This is a fairly low power graphics processor built into the CPU. It can easily run the display on the standard MB Pro, but it can sometimes struggle with the Retina as there are several times more pixels to drive.
So...
13" MacBook Pro Retina: Fantastic display, slightly thinner/lighter
13" MacBook Pro: Not at the same level as the Retina, but still an excellent display. Slightly thicker, but as you said, you get an optical drive as well. Memory and storage are easily upgradable. As Kappy mentioned, the get a faster processor as well.

Pictures lost in Slide Show

I added pictures from my flash drive into a slide show in Elements 6.0. I saved the slide show as a project. Several days later when I opened the project from the Organizer, the slides were black except for the text I had added. I assume I have lost the link to my pictures although I have not moved the flash drive since I made the slide show. How can I retrieve my pictures?

The photos have never appeard in Organizer because I imported them from my Flash Drive directly into the slide show. I have, however, opened,
edited, saved, closed, and reopened the slide show several times and the pictures were in the slide show. Now, all of a sudden, they have disappeared.
I was hoping to avoid saving the pictures in Organizer before adding them to the slide show... must I do that?

Moving Slide Show from iPhoto into iDVD does not capture music

I have created several slide shows in iPhoto. I recently photographed a wedding and created a slide show set to music from my iTunes playlist. When I sent the slideshow to iDVD it picked up the transitions, timing, etc., but did not pick up the music. I am at a loss, as I have tried to drag and drop the music and that won't work.

Click Here
First double click where it say's slideshow (assuming you have already added your photos to iDvd). If you haven't then see the link and instructions below.
Now insert the audio cd, open it, and drag & drop the audio file directly to the slideshow audio well as in the above example.

Adding sound to a slideshow
Adding a soundtrack to a slideshow can enhance the mood or tone of the slideshow, provide information, or tell a story. You can use a song or entire playlist from your iTunes library, music you composed in GarageBand, and even a voiceover you recorded in GarageBand or some other application. You can also use any audio files that QuickTime supports (including AIFF/AIFC, Audio CD, AAC, MP3, WAV, and MPEG-4).
If you add audio to your slideshow, you can’t set the slideshow to advance manually.
To add a soundtrack to a slideshow:
Double-click the button for your slideshow on the DVD menu to open the slideshow editor.
Click the Media button to open the Media pane, and then click Audio.
Click GarageBand to find songs in GarageBand, or iTunes to find music in your iTunes library.
Drag a playlist or a song from the Audio pane to the audio well (shown below) in the slideshow editor.
You can also drag audio files from another folder on your hard disk or from a connected server to the audio well. The audio well icon changes from a speaker to one that corresponds with the type of file you added.
The slide duration is automatically set to “Fit to Audio” to ensure that the slideshow and soundtrack finish at the same time. If you want to manually change how long each slide stays onscreen, choose the number of seconds from the Slide Duration pop-up menu.
When you do this, the slideshow and music may become out of sync, so it’s important to preview the slideshow to make sure you like it. Click the Preview button at the bottom of the iDVD window, which brings up the iDVD remote control. Click Exit in the remote control to return to the slideshow editor.
Click the Return button to exit the sideshow editor.
If the Slide Duration pop-up menu is set to “Fit to Audio,” and the music is too short for all the slides and transitions, iDVD sets the slide duration to the smallest duration above 1 second that allows it to play or repeat the song completely.
If you add a playlist to the audio well, the songs play in the slideshow in the same order they appear in the playlist. If you want to change the order of songs, do that in iTunes and then add the playlist to your DVD again.
If you add movies that have audio to your slideshow, you can hear this audio when a movie is playing in the slideshow. If your slideshow has a soundtrack, the soundtrack fades out while the movie is playing so that the movie audio can be heard. This is a default setting (”Duck audio while playing movies”) in the slideshow editor, controlled in the Settings dialog.
To delete the audio from a slideshow, simply drag the music icon out of the audio well. To replace the existing audio, drag a new song or playlist into the audio well.

After pulling pictures into slide show -- when hit run ... everything is blank

I created a slide show from organizer.
All the pictures are there, pan and zoom selected, etc.   Then when I try and preview it - there is nothing on the scree
n it is blank. the bottom layout shows the movement from one picture to the other but the slide show picture
is not working.   I tried to just take the show to file .. which I did. when i then tried to run the .wmv file .. same thing ...
everything was blank.

This black for the image on the preview screen seems to happen if you are missing some type of Windows authorization or permissions.
Playback in the Slide Show Editor in the Preview seems to require additional Windows authorization or permissions: a black screen in the Preview area while there is movement of the thumbnail images below during playback is the symptom of the problem.
-- running from a Windows userid which has administrator authority usually (but not always) avoids this problem.
-- if the userid administrator authority is not sufficient in your particular case, then try starting PSE by right clickin on its desktop icon and choosing Run as Administrator (which does have a different effect than administrator authority of the userid).
Note: for future reference
For a question like this is good to post both the version of Photoshop Elements and the version of the Windows operating system.
Because this specific problem can happen with both multiple PSE versions and different Windows versions, I went ahead and posted guidance.

No music when i burn my slide show to dvd in idvd

I selected the share to burn I slide show. This opened the idvd and transfered the info to it. I was able to burn a dvd, but the music did not transfer.
I am not able to open and edit the drop box to add music. I dont know what to try. Thanks.

Thanks so much for your possible solution. If I can pull this off , I will no longer curse adobe PSE 13.
I'm still a long was off to accomplish this goal but I will surely give it a try. H264 (mp4) is still Greek to me.

Picture slide show/t430

I have a T430 with Windows 8.1. What is the best way to view my photos in a slide show? There is no "Media Show".
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
When you click the Photo tile on the Home screen, you get to pick from several picture libraries, including the one on your computer. From there, you can browse folders and watch the photos you wish to view.
To start the slide show, right-click anywhere on the screen and select Slide show near the lower-right corner.
Once started, you have some control over the slideshow. Pressing the space bar will pause the show. The left and right arrow keys will take you to the last or next picture. To start it again, right-click the screen and click the Slide show icon again.
Refer here to see how to start a slideshow using windows photo viewer.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Mithun.

Are there any step-by-step directions for making a slide show with music on iDVD?

I once knew how to do this, but lost my directions (from a friend) in make a slide show using iDVD. Where could I download the steps for making a DVD that I could play on my DVD player and view on my TV monitor.?

I will try this. I did go to help, but did not click on that subject. Actually, all of a sudden it worked, except that the music I choose did not work. So, I will work on this later. Thanks for the suggestion.

Saving a slide show when catalog runs from flash drive

A little background - I manage two separate classes of students who use the same laptop with PSE8. Each student has their own flash drive to save a custom catalog for the PSE8. Each time students open PSE8 they load their custom catalog. All image files are saved onto the flash drive. We have been using custom catalogs because our computers have Deep Freeze installed. This system has worked well for images.
When saving a slide show there is no way to specify where the slide show should be saved. I assumed that the slide show would save to the catalog which is sitting on the flash drive. Unfortunately, this is not the case. How can I save a slide show on a external flash drive? I want students to be able to save and be able to reopen their slideshows.
thanks,
Robert

Robert,
Right now,I am looking at my current PSE 7 install on Vista. There is a .psess file type which contains slide show project information. I suspect that this might be the file you are seeking. And I think this file exists with the same purpose in PSE 8.
For PSE 8, you might find those files under a folder structure of
..... \Elements Organizer\Catalogs\name of the specific catalog\projects
I desginated the dots at the beginning of the folder structure because they could be different depending on what version of Windows is running and potentially even other installation choices specific to that machine.
Therefore, you might try searching for the .psess slide show project file type.
Note 1: I am not sure v8 will place the project folder and the .psess files in your case where you have used a custom location for the Catalog that is on a flash drive. Please post back here with the location where you do find the files
Note 2: I suspect that if you are teaching syncing to photoshop.com, you might also need to be concerned about the location of the syncdb folder. My guess would be that it is near that project folder. If you do determine the syncdb location, please also post it back here. Thanks.

How do it change the color of the background in a still photo in a imovie picture slide show

how do it change the color of the background in a still photo in a imovie picture slide show

LOL - I had the same problem. Hidden in plain sight! All I saw was Numeric, and thought "Duh! Of course it's numeric - it's a slider!"
I do think NI could do a much better job on this, perhaps with more informative labelling. Slider Scaling or Scale Format might be better. Also, since one can select the Digital Display by itself on the front panel, one should be taken directly to the digital display formatting when Properties is selected, instead of still having to change the dropdown. By selecting the digital display instaead of the slider, you're implying that you want to change its format only.
