Making a dvd from Photo Shop Essential.

I want to put my slide show onto a dvd to run in a dvd player so that we can watch it on a tv monitor. Does Adobe Essential do this or is it confined within the program?

If you only have Photoshop Elements, no, it can't burn a DVD unless you also have Premiere Elements. However, if you have a dvd burner, you have some kind of software to do this, even if it's only windows dvd maker/windows movie maker. So you can output your slideshow as a WMV file and then open that file in your other software to create the disc.

  • Making a DVD from

    I am making a DVD from final cut pro, it is about 1 hour 50 minutes. I am using idvd are there any suggestions on how or/if to compress this to make it fit on idvd. I thought I would try posting here first instead of the idvd board.
    thanks!

    iDVD has a limited number of (commonly used) file formats it can deal with, and uses its own DVD video encoder to format and build the DVD. The iDVD help system describes the kinds of files it can accept.
    You would use Compressor to encode the separate video and Dolby surround audio files for DVD Studio Pro projects, and iDVD does not accept those file types. If you need more control over your encoding, you should use FCP and Compressor with DVDSP.
    The iDVD forums will have more on that topic.
    That being said, I love using iDVD because of it's ease and simplicity. I use it to make quick DVDs of my Final Cut Pro projects. Just feed iDVD the right files and it works beautifully.
    Cheers

  • Making a DVD from iPhone Video

    Lifelong Windows user here seeking some Mac expertise:)
    I am in the process of making a DVD from Iphone home videos that can be played on any DVD player.
    I see that Mac's video format is .mov which from what I can tell is not the same format needed to make DVD's that can be played on all DVD players. I already have the files saved on my MacBook Pro as mov. files can anyone tell me how to get them converted in order to have them play on a DVD player? Can iMovie do the conversion for you or do I need another program to convert the files and then process them into a movie in the iMovie program or even Adobe Premiere Elements 12 which I also have installed on this MacBook Pro.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    That is great information to have. Thank You for your quick response. Following your response I did some more research on video converters and found that Handbrake which I already have installed on the MacBook converts video files but only in the output formats of MP4 and MKV which does not help my cause; however, while doing that research I came across a program known as iMedia Converter Deluxe for Mac from Skysoft which from what I can tell supports output .avi video formats. Do you have any experience / advice on iMedia or any other recommended video converter program that works well with Mac and is preferably "free"?

  • Making a DVD from Keynote

    This should be a simple process, but I can't find out how to do it. (I get it to work after hours of trial and error, usually, but this time I'm stuck)
    I make a Keynote show - beautiful photos, text, etc - but without the music since I've been told the best way to add the sound is to make a movie first and THEN use that to make the DVD.
    I exported the Keynote presentation to Quicktime (iMovie wouldn't take the actual Keytime presentation), and then moved that to iMovie. But it won't let me move the clip below to actually make a movie and add sound.
    And I tried moving the Quicktime presentation (of course no sound in this version, but the original has sound) directly to iDVD. It appears on the Media/Movie page but I can't figure where to go from there. Nothing happens.
    Sigh. Any help would be appreciate.

    This actually is an addendum to my own email since somehow half the message got dropped. Sorry.
    Basically I've created a Keynote presentation (lovely photos, text, etc) with the intent of making a DVD to share with my mother who is bedridden.
    (In the "olden days" I would just make a slide show in iPhoto, add sound, and burn. But I love whaat Keynote can do, it's just figuring out how to get THAT presentation to a DVD I can play in a regular DVD player.
    I didn't include sound on the version I exported to Quicktime since I was told that the best way to make the DVD was to make a Movie first so I could better adjust the sound. So I exported the soundless one to Quicktime and then moved that to iMovie, but couldn't get it to let me move the clip below.
    I also tried moving the Quicktime version directly to iDVD. It is there on the Media/Movie page, but I can't get anything to happen after that. (I could easily use the version of my Keynote presentation with sound, if it would let me,, but I understand there is a problem with that too....)
    Again, any suggestions would be helpful.

  • Making Playable DVD From Disc Image

    A friend of mine has an iDVD project but his mac cannot burn dvds. So he gave me the file as a disc image. I dragged and dropped the disc image to the dvd and hit burn. It does not play as a dvd in a player or in frontrow on my mac. When I double click on it the disc image is on the dvd. Did I make a data dvd instead? How do I make a playable dvd from a disc image?
    Also, is going the disc image route the easiest way to transfer an iMovie or iDVD project to another mac. I did it this way because my mac does not have some of the music or photos on it that are linked to the project file. In Garage Band you can save as archive when transferring a file to another mac and it saves all the loops, etc in the file. There must be something similar in iDVD.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Paul

    So he gave me the file as a disc image. I dragged and dropped the disc image to the dvd and hit burn.
    Paul,
    Video DVDs are written in the UDF format. That's why you must use Apple's Disk Utility to burn a disk image to writable media correctly.
    In burning from the Finder, you have created a data DVD in Mac OS Extended format that will NOT play in set-top DVD players (as you have found out).

  • Suggestions on making a DVD from AVCHD?

    What would be the best way to get the best quality DVD from original Sony 1900x1080i AVCHD - M2ts files?
    Is it better to:-
    Convert (or import) the initial files to AVI with another program and make the project with the AVI files in PE9 and share to DVD using PE9 (what other program?)
    or
    Edit the original AVCHD files PE9  then
             Share to DVD from the edited AVCHD using only PE9
             or
             Share to a HD format file and use another program to reduce and burn the DVD (what other format and program)
             or   
             Share to some other format file and burn the DVD with another program (what other format and program?)
             or
             Share to SD and use another program to burn the DVD (what other program?)
    or some other better alternative?
    I would be interested in hearing others experiences or nasties they might have encountered doing this.
    I supppose it gets down to what does the best job of downsizing the original HD.
    Some (but not all) of the copies of the DVD may be played on good quality Blue Ray players that upscale to full HD so I want the best possible DVD.
    Also it's my grandaughters wedding so I HAVE to make it good! It is likely to be played many years in the future on probably super players on wall sized screens when unfortunately I won't be around to see them!.
    In case you think I'm mad, I will also be making Blue Ray copies as well so I will have to use a second option anyway but I would be prepared to make the project again in low def if this would be better.

    I am not worried about speed or ease of editing or work flow but rather ending up with the  highest picture quality DVD with minimum artifacts and compression.
    Are you sayng I will get better video quality using PE9 to pre-convert the HD to SD before editing, then burning the DVD from that as opposed to making the edit in original AVCHD and converting the final edited HD to SD and then burning the DVD?
    I also wondered if another program that specialised in converting would be better to use rather than using PE9 which is primarily an editing program.
    As an example PE9 does a bad job of resizing any AVCHD. Just a slight increase in size noticably degrades the resolution.

  • Can premiere elements make quality DVDs from photos?

    Can you make excellent quality DVD's from photos using Premiere Elements 10 using a Mac?"

    You should not have any issues.
    If you are using only Still Images, here are the tips:
    Set up your Project as either NTSC, or PAL DVD, in either Widescreen 16:9, or Standard 4:3. For most current still cameras, the Widescreen 16:9 would be the more likely candidate, but also consider the TV's, that your viewers will likely have. If there are a ton of older, 4:3 CRT TV's in that mix, then consider them.
    Scale all of your Still Images to about the Frame Size of your Project, so ~ 720 x 480 for NTSC. See this ARTICLE.
    Import those into the Project.
    Drag those to the Timeline, and edit, as required.
    Add any Scene Selection Markers.
    When edited, go to Create Menus, and choose either a Wide, or Standard (depends on which you chose) Menu Set, then adjust, as is required.
    When authored, Burn to Disc.
    Remember, your Still Images are probably much higher resolution, than DVD, so do not expect HD quality material. However, if you/your viewers have an up-rezzing DVD, or BD player, properly hooked up, the resultant DVD will look spectacular.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Making a DVD from FCP X project

    A few projects ago, I could render a movie for DVD from FCP X onto a DVD to burn.  Then, it would be working for hours and hours and never finish.. a day later, it wasn't finished.  Can't make one since.
    What could be the problem? I s some part of the process too big for my hardware or software?  Can I change something to allow it to work again?
    Any ideas?  Perhaps something is set wrong?
    Thank you for any suggestions.

    What version are you running?
    Do you get a Publishing Error -29?

  • Making a dvd from a powerpoint

    I created a powerpoint presentation with sound for my daughters wedding. Is there a way to make a dvd from this presentation so it can be played on a dvd player over the television or do I need to redo the whole presentation? I am using a Powerbook G4 with OS 10.3.9.

    You have about 3 choices.
    1. Export a sequence of still images of your PPT presentation, and make a slideshow within DVDSP, iMovie ou Final Cut (Pro or Express).
    2. Open your PPT presentation in Keynote (another app made by Apple) and have it export a QT movie. (this way you could see the transition effects)
    3. Have your Powerbook hooked up to a VTR or video camera through the S-Video interface (mirror), and have the presentation recorded on tape. Then you would import the video from the tape through iMovie of FCP/FCE and have the video exported to DVDSP.
    I hope this info will be of help.
    Cheers!

  • DVD from photos

    I am putting together a DVD for our swim team and parents. I would like to copy protect this DVD so that multiple copies of the DVD or printing high quality photos is either difficult or not possible....
    Can anyone help.....just want a simple disc of photos that people can view...

    You can't do what you want. If the pictures are only for viewing only burn small versions of them, like 640 x 480 pixels. And you could put a watermark on them like this or similar with a 3rd party watermarking application (or an image editor). You can find watermarking apps at VersionTracker.com by searching there for "watermark".
    Why now create an iDVD slideshow of the photos so they can be viewed on a TV set. The best resolution photo that can be obtained from that is 640 pixels x 480 pixels and that would be from a screenshot of the DVD while playing on a computer.
    Using an iDVD project you can add music to the slideshow, comments to selected photos, etc. Just select the album in iPhoto and use the Share->Send to iDVD menu option. When in iDVD select your theme, transition to use between slides, add music as desired, etc. When you're ready to create the disk use File->Save as Disk Image. This has two advantages: 1 - you can play the disk image on your computer with DVD Player to check the project before committing to disk; 2 - multiple copies can be burned (use the slowest speed available) with breaks in between burns without having to go thru the encoding process (usually the longest part of the process) all over.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in it's rebuild library window, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.

  • Make CD/DVD from photos

    Using this program can I take my pictures from vacations and put them on CD's or DVD's and show them on my TV using a DVD player?

    I´ve tried to back up from iPhoto to DVD, several times. I followed:
    Create a CD or DVD by exporting
    In iPhoto, select the photos, albums, or video clips you want to burn to a disc.
    Choose File > Export.
    In the Export Photos window, click File Export, and then select your options.For best results, choose JPEG, Maximum, and Full Size. For more information, see Export a photo.
    When you’re ready, click Export, and export the photos to a folder on your computer.
    When the export is finished, quit iPhoto.
    Click the Finder icon in the Dock, and then insert a CD-RW disc or a blank CD-R or DVD-R disc into your drive.
    Drag the folder that contains your exported photos to the disc’s icon.
    When the files have been copied, choose File > Burn Disc, and then click Burn.
    The disc can´t be burned because an unexpected error occurred (error code 0x8002006E)
    Am I missing something?
    Thank you in advance.

  • When making a DVD, some photo's are turned

    When trying to put a Slide Show on DVD, some of the pictures are turned sideways or upside down. When viewing the slide Show in Elements 11, the orientation is correct. Once I try to put the slide show on DVD using Elements 11 Premiere, some of them get turned.

    Which Elements program are you creating and viewing your slideshow in? There are three Elements programs (Premiere Elements, Photoshop Elements and the Elements Organizer) and at least four different ways to create a slideshow in them.
    Your Organizer may display photos as right-side up when they are not. Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements will display your photos as they actually are.
    Also ensure that any photos you use in a DVD slideshow are no larger than 1000x750 pixels in size for optimal performance.

  • Making realistic foam from photo

    Hi,
    I've been taking and prepping photos of a client's parts.  For the most part things have been going fine.  I use pen tool for tought - but round or curved - objects and for other objects I have a series of auto actions that clean them up quite nicely and quickly.  For example see before and after below of an object I did.  Photos were taken with Nikon D70:
    I've now run into a really tough one and it's foam.  I told my wife to take photos of them with black background so it's more contrasty.  But I just can't seem to figure out how to get rid of the black so the result looks "foamy."  Evidently, the pen tool just won't work because lines there are twoo straight.  Below is example of photo and I now have about 6 photos similar with more to come.  Feel free to try out whatever you recommend doing it.  The photo below is reduced verison to keep the file size here small:
    Any suggestion is appreciated and I hope whatever it is you suggest is fast (i.e., easy) to do  :-)
    Thanks,
    Deaf Guy

    I think using a gray background would have been better.  There would still be good contrast to separate the foam from the background any fringe areas halos  would be neutral gray and be easer to blend in then the darker blacker ones. I did a couple of quick tries one using  the quick selection tool and refine edge to mask the foam and a second using a channel mask.  Did not like what I produced.

  • Making Data DVD from iMovie HD (5)

    HELP!!!
    I need to make a data DVD of my iMovie project to send to a stock-footage company. Anybody know EXACTLY how to do this? I'm using Toast 7. Thanks for your help.--Porter

    in your o.p. you said to make a data DVD of my iMovie project to send to a stock-footage company... my guess was, you need a "universal" standard/very little companies support "Mac only"... in the data-disk options of Toast, you can choose many formats, "Mac" too...
    reading your second post...
    my guess is, you try to do a "data spanning" to continue on subsequent discs, correct...? use/read "Help" of Toast7...
    ... where is the Quicktime of my iMovie HD (5) project?
    wherever you've stored it
    there's the socalled "ref.mov" within the project's file (that with a star); in iMHD, this file isn't a folder anymore, but a "package"; simply ctrl-click on it, choose from menu "show package content"... beware: any "fumble" of movie.pkg can distroy whole project.
    BUT!
    as said, that is just a ref.mov; Toast can create a videoDisk (the ref.mov "collects" all need video+audio; a ref-mov is just an "alias"; it is just <500kB = not the video/movie itself!); but - to my knowledge - is not able to create a data-disk (=movie.dv) from a ref.mov
    if you need a movie, you need to create one by export/share from within iM, choose Quicktime/Full Quality... huge files: 1h = ~13GB...

  • Making a DVD from iMovoeHD

    I have created an audio and visual movie on iMovie HD. The file size is 1.9 Gb as i want to play it at full resolution on wide screen or HD TV.When i convert it to a DVD on iDVD 6 it compresses the movie to just under 400 mb. I have tried different conversion rates but istill do not get the origonal file size.Any tips out there.Ty joe

    You got about what I would expect to see going to MPG-2 in iDVD.
    My 'math':
    Your orginal DV stream video runs about 13 GB per hour. Your 1.9 GB = about 8.6 minutes running time.
    In the 'Best Performance' mode about 60 minutes of MPG-2 content fits on slightly less than 4 GB. Your 8.6 minutes should be slightly less than 500 MB.
    That's pretty close to what you observed.
    Like I said "You got about what I would expect".
    BTW, if you content was compressed LESS (making a bigger file) your DVD player couldn't handle the playback data rate.
