Macbook iphoto slide show to slide projector

I am using iphoto 6 and have an iphoto slideshow that I would like to connect to a slide projector so I can project it onto a screen for a large group. How can I find out which slide projectors are compatible with my macbook and will be able to show the iphoto slideshow? Do I need to buy a special connecting cable?

I've asked the hosts to move this topic to the iDVD forum as that's where you'll get the best portential solutions to your questons. It can be done in iDVD but alternatives have been discussed in the iDVD forum many times.

HT4108 Can I use the VGA adapter to show keynote slide shows on a projector?

Can I use the VGA adapter to show keynote slide shows on a projector?

iPad 1 does not do screen mirroring like the iPad 2.
Open the app you want to output and see if it works.

Using iPod to present Keynote slide show to a projector

I would like to use my new iPod Touch to present Keynote slide shows using a digital projector. If I could do this I wouldn't have to carry my laptop everywhere. Is this possible and if so how would I do it? What output cables would be required?
Thanks

This is a really great idea. I don't know that you can maintain the pauses that a keynote presentation has, though, because Quicktime generally doesn't have a click-and-go functionality (i.e., pause on this frame indefinitely, wait for input, continue) without scripting.

Cp4: slide shows another slide during transition 'fade'

I'm using Captivate 4, and have created a project with 22 slides. Each slide has a background consisting of a screenshot of an application. No imagelayers on top of that, except for highlights and textboxes. Also, each slide contains audio and a few slides contain Flash video.
Problem: when using the transition option 'fade' from slide 4 to slide 5 (slide 5 - transition 'fade'), another slide shines through some of the white space. The slide that shines through could be three different slides, which all contain the same image.
In other words: when transitioning from slide 4 to 5, slide X (could be three identical slides) shines through the white parts for half a second.
I have tried:
- Creating a new slide within current project, with a new background and copying the highlights etc (same problem)
- Copying all slides to a new project (same problem)
- Adding blank slides before and after the slide that shines through (still slide X shines through)
- Checking for transparency (none)
- Inserting the background as a new png and merging it into the background (same problem)
- Inserting the background as a new png and showing it to the end of the slide wthout fades (same problem)
- Removing the transition altogether (works, but I need the transition!)
I have run out of options. Can anyone help me?

Hi,
Lets get this clear...
When you set Transition -- it set how the slide will appear ( basically fade-in in your case )
So your 5th slide must have Transition-Fade. Slide background will too fade in for 5th slide.
If you want that your screenshot isnt visible while slide transition you can add them as image-items and make them appear after fade completes.

How to convert JPEG slide show to Keynote?

My objective: use iPad to display photo slide shows via video projector.
I bought the official iPad video adaptor, only to discover that video output for STILLs like JPEGs is only support by Keynote (not by Photos, ...). So I bought Keynote for iPad, only to discover that apparently Keynote requires that I manually recreate all 269 slides!
Surely there is a fast, simple way to convert a folder of JPEGs to a Keynote presentation on iPad? The image files are all properly named so that filename order is the correct presentation order.
Any solution advice will be much appreciated!

David,
Thank you for the instant replies. Yes, we can use iPhoto/Mac OS to export a slideshow to Photos on iPad (including video clips). That works fine.
The shocking thing (for Apple) is that the official video adapter is only supported at the app level. Please see article HT4108
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4108
I was astonished to show up for a presentation, plug in iPad - no video out from Photos. Had to grab the MacBook Pro which I thankfully had as a backup preloaded with the same show.
I've verified HT4108 on a borrowed projector. Videos works. Youtube works.
Now that I've paid for Keynote I've been able to verify that Keynote works, but only once you have initiated "Play".
If I can import all the JPEGs into 1:1 corresponding Keynote slides then I am not too unhappy about having to spend another $10 added to the $39.95 for the adaptor (in AUS). Otherwise I will try to get a refund for everything from Apple.

How to make slide show out of photos

I have about 60 .jpg's I like to make into a slide presentation. What I would like to be able to do is give a friend/relative a disk and all they would have to do it....well, nothing. I'd like it to open on my image number 1. I would like the image to stay on the screen until it's manually advanced by "clicking" on it or on and "advance" button. It seems like it should probably be easy, but I can't figure it out. I'm not adverse to using third party software. I want the images to be as clear as possible. Am using OS X Maverick with 32 GB of ram.
Thanks in advance.

There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto (see this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2423 ), iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!

IDVD Slide show audio issue

Slide shows created on iDVD look and sound great during preview, however after burning to disk, audio drops out for about 5 seconds after every 99 slides? I have been told that this is a known issue with iDVD. How can I correct this error??

Hi, The burn quality of iDVD in very low for my slide shows. Images do no tlook good on playback and the sound track jumps every 99 images due to the way chapters are set up in it. How to I output a slide show to be high quiality?

Hi
the output form iDVD is very poor quality( Low res due to compression by iDVD) when I produce a slide show in iPhoto and share it over to iDVD then burn it. What is the solution? I like to add the title page in idvd ads it looks professional, but hte end output in NOT professional.
Also in iDVD the soundtrack that was flawless in iphoto now jstutters every 99 images and IDVD apparantly can only process bulk images in chapters that contain 99 images. So if you have a slide show with 245 images in you get hesitation at two points of teh slideshow as it struggles to start the next set of 99 images in the slide show!!! How annoying overall. Please help??????

Varying the Slide Transition Time Interval in Slide Show with Music

I have this old iPhoto 4.0.3 version in my PowerBook. Is it possible to create a slide show that's put to music? More importantly, can the transition from slide to slide be varied (e.g., one slide changes after 4 seconds; the next slide changes after 10 seconds; the slide after changes after 6 seconds, etc.) or am I limited to one consistent slide transition interval? Do I need to upgrade to a newer version of iPhoto? Or do I need to use an entirely different application to do varying slide transition time intervals?
Thank you.
Michael

No, you can't vary the time interval in the same slide show.
There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD, but they all have one thing in common: they reduce the quality of the photos to that of a movie still frame and sometimes limit the number of photos you can use.

Slide show program for iMac

I was a Window user that switched to Mac about a year ago. I use PhotoShow Gold to create some wonderful slide shows. When I made the switch I thought I could use Parallels to continue using Proshow. For the most part it has worked out. But recently I have started running into instability problems with Proshow. Part of the problem is that I dont use it on a regular basis...2-3 projects a year.
I am looking for a Mac product that will allow me to do the same thing that I can get from Proshow Gold...images/videos, add music and creative transitions. Any suggestions?
Just upgraded to Maverick.
Thanks

Is there a way to project a slide show using iPad with Chromecast? Other better solution?

When I travel for business I like to try to just bring my iPad and no laptop. I need to be able to project some slides (could be .ppt or .pdf). I have Chromecast installed and working on the TV. I also have the latest "free" version of Powerpoint on my iPad. I do not pay for the MS360 subscription at this time - I only use it to view slides as needed and edit on laptop. Series 3 iPad with latest software.
1) Is there a way to project a slide show to a projector or TV using Chromecast in conjunction with either Dropbox or Powerpoint, on the iPad?
or in absence of a "yes"
2) What is the best toy to buy so that I can mirror my iPad screen to a projector / TV? Note I don't need a $100 Apple TV brick, please.
Thanks,

PSE 9 Organizer Slide show can't find the slide show project files after moving from XP to Windows 7

A bad computer virus forced us to move all our files and programs from XP to Windows 7. The PSE Editor seems to be working properly, but the Organizer Slide Show can't find the project files. The structure of each of the 15 slide shows (blank slides) is there and any text I had added, but the pictures and music are missing. Our computer Tech is not too familiar with PSE and may not have the files in the right spot. Evidently XP and Windows 7 are organized a little differently and use different names. He still has all the PSE files from our old hard drive in a folder and probably just needs to know where to put them.

+Windows Vista has different file locations than Windows XP+
This is the problem - the iTunes ITL file from XP is using XP paths, which don't exist in Vista. Here are some directions that have worked for others:
- Copy your entire iTunes folder --- not just the iTunes Music folder but basically everything under "My Documents" - to external storage
- Copy those files to your "Music" folder on your Vista system. The end result should be that you have "Documents\Music\iTunes" on Vista, where you had "My Documents\My Music\iTunes" on XP
- Put a fresh install of iTunes on the Vista system.
- When you run iTunes for the first time, hold down the Shift key. If it asks you to select a library file, pick the one you just transferred over.
- The end result should be your library, including all ratings, play counts and play lists, sitting on the new system.

Create Slide Show

I am using PE Ver 9. When I create a slide show, I select "Include Photo Captions as Text", but the text does not appear. The very first time I tried this it worked, but not since. Also, is there a way to control the text size and font for the captions in a slide show? I also have trouble with the way a slide show orders my files. I have named them in such a way that they sort properly when sorted by name in Windows Explorer. When I create a slide show, the slides are not in the same order. Do I need to rename all the files to get the sort order I want?

I'm not sure why your captions are not showing up. How are you adding the captions to your images?
Yes, you can change the size, font, color, an several other characteristics of the caption text. Simply click the text to select it and you will have options under the Properties panel on the right. If you are asking if there is a way to change them in bulk, I'm afraid the answer is no.
The slides will appear in the order that they are displayed in the Elements Organizer. It does not look at the order of the files in Windows Explorer, nor does it depend on the names of the files. The Organizer displays images based upon the age of the image, oldest or newest first. If you click the Display button in the upper right, you can switch to Folder Location view, which will put the images in alphabetical order. The down side to this is you can only see the images from a single folder at a time. So if your images are in multiple folders, this will only get you part of the way. You can also create an Album, which allows you to customize the order of images anyway you want, but it all has to be done by hand.

Blank slides show up in slideshow

I have created several slides. When I play the slide show, blank slides show up between the slides that I created. What gives?

Wow, thank you.
These are not rouge, they are consistent between each slide in the presentation. All my slides are on the standard grey-to-black (black to grey?) gradation. Let's see if I can explain better:
Slide 1 says "my name"
Slide 2 says "I have candy"
Slide 3 says "What do you need?"
In presentation mode, slide 1 loads automatically and holds. No problem. My next click will bring a gradation slide with no text. The next click will bring "I have candy", next click, a gradation slide without text.
If I esc at this point, Slide 3 is highlighted.
Does that help?
Thanks again.
