Making a manual slide show?

I want to make a manual slide show on iDVD is this possible ? How?

You can do it in iphoto.
1. Create an album that contains the photos you want on the slideshow. Highlight that album from the panel on the left.
2. Go to the file menu and select 'new slideshow'.
3. You can add music and effects.
4. When your finished, go to the 'share' menu bar at the top and select 'send to iDVD'.
5. Then you can burn it to DVD.
You can also use imovie to create a movie and then share it to IDVD.
Hope this helps, post back with results.

im making a photo slide show using imovie. how will i make a dvd copy that can play in both pc and dvd player. i dont have an idvd anymore. m using a mbp early 2011 osx 10.8.5.
after making the photo slide show, i clicked share>export movie. after which i burned using toast. the file became a .mov. i tried playing it in my mac and it worked. my fear now is will it also play in a regular dvd?... i read from google that mov files won't run in dvd players. what format should i convert it to so it'll play in a dvd player. can you suggest a faster way i can burn my projects for it takes me almost an hour to export. im going to make 28 slideshows for my kids in school. *=( if i need to do this process 28 times, i may not be able to finish it on time. please suggest a software or an alternative as to how i should do this... m more comfortable using imovie than iphoto. thanks and i hope to hear from someone soon *=j

Thank you QuickTimeKirk...used toast to burn project... my project was in .mov, i tried to play it a dvd player, it did play... will try again tomorrow using another dvd player just to be sure it'll will really work with dvd players. thank you again for your reply *=)

Making hi-res slide shows with PE7 or 5

Hi all, I am a long time user of PE5 and prior, but have only recently started making slide shows with zooms, fades and music. I made a vCD, and the resolution wasn't very good on my HDTV. Must I use Premiere Elements 7 to make hi-res DVDs of my slides that preserve the features, or will PS7 by itself do it? [I don't really need video editing capability.] Can I use Premiere Elements 7 with PE5? Or would it make most sense to upgrade to PE7 and PreE7 together? Are there any other good solutions other than adding a video editing program?
Many thanks
Don

I am sure that this has already been dealt with on this site. Check the search box at the top to see what comes up. I think your PlayBook has to be sent back to RIM. Here is the RIM contact info for Germany. I think they have a very quick turnaround time. Backup all your data before sending it to them

Making a narrative Slide show like the MS Photo Story

Just wondering is there any feature in Aperture 3, where I can easily to create a slide show
With background music
Narrating each photo, where I don't have to speak from the beginning to end without having the chance to pause (Where Microsoft Photo story can narrating on each photo, but when you play the slide show, it look like you are doing in one go).

See [Adding Music and Audio to Slideshows|http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/#chapter=21%26 section=10%26hash=apple_ref:doc:uid:Aperture-UserManual-91292SLD-SW72] in the User Manual.

Making long background slide show

I have a need for a long background "show". Specifically, 7 CD's worth of mood music (think yoga) with nature shots. Prefer burning to play in DVD player, but realize it maybe too much music for a DVD, so a slide show running with iTunes playlist in background is possible but using laptop is not optimal.
The challenge is that I only need a few photos (they will repeat) but lots of songs. Is there a way to create a slide show (or movie) several hours long that is playable on DVD player?
SLYmac

Thanks so far. I think I am almost there.
ok so I selected a bunch of photos in iPhoto, clicked "slideshow" and then "send to DVD".
iDVD opened up and now what? it opened up to a generic project "My Great DVD" which i renamed, but not being a veteran of iLife, I am not sure what is next. Do I add anything? This is a simple background slideshow to put into a DVD player and let it go and go until removed. I did not care for a polished menu structure. In fact I was hoping for a "stick it in the player and auto start" product.

Making a jpg slide show.

I have a set of images that I would like to put at the top like a banner. I want the images to fade in and fade out and play constantly when the person arrives at the page. These images are .jpg's. I would appreciate if someone could give me an example of the code to do this so I can input my images in into the code.
THank you!

Blu-Ray slide show photo rotation

I am making Blu-Ray slide shows using Premier Elements 11 from albums created in Elements 11. In the finished slide shows many of the pictures are not correctly rotated. The compiler is pulling the original photo from My Pictures and not from the album; the photos were correctly rotated in the albums. Is there a fix for this? Is the only solution to go through 5,000 photos in My Pictures and rotate the photos that were taken vertically?

Do a search, and you'll see lots of issues with Encore Bluray slideshows. I do not know what the formula may be for success. I do not use them.
Yes, a plain slideshow has one mts per slide. A slideshow with transition but no zoom/pan has one per slide and one per transition. A slideshow with transition and zoom/pan has one per slide with the full duration per mts.
A variety of quality issues have been reported, but I don't recall the color flashes issue. I get what looks very similar to me.
I recommend doing the slideshow in Premiere, and just having no control for the user. One person reported making a chapter point for each slide, and that allowed some advance.
You can get a clean slide using no transitions and no pan/zoom; H264 for project settings (used for slideshows) is the recommendation when Mpeg results in poor slideshow quality.

PSE 9 Slide Show error message

I get message "The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor installed Codec) when I try to add a song from Itunes library to a slideshow. What doies this mean? How do I fix it? I tried in on my Dell and Toshoba laptops. Same thing happened. Thanks.

Whats wrong with this PSE process - anyone know?
more information may help analyze your problem
1 -- What are the pixel dimension of the photo files that are used in this slide show ?
2 -- Did you add Pan or zoom when making the PSE slide show ?
3 -- When you say you exported to Premiere Elements,
-- did you only make the DVD menus and burn the DVD disc in Premiere Elements ? OR
-- did you also Edit the video in Premiere Elements using its Timeline or Scenes functions ?
4 -- Are you creating the DVD as Widescreen (16:9) or as Full Screen (4:3 aspect ratio) ?
General comments --
Since you are creating a DVD (which is standard definition with pixel dimensions of 720 x 480 for NTSC in USA or 720 x 576 for PAL) inputing a high pixel resolution photo file to the slide show process can actually produce a lesser quality image in the DVD video in the final image. Generally recommended are using a photo editor for downsizing the photofile resolution to approx 1000 x 750 for 4:3 aspect ratio before you start making the slide show.
If you respond that you did use pan or zoom and you respond that you worked with (edited) the slide show video in Premiere Elements,
-- then there is a Premiere Elements parameter of Scale to Framesize that may be a significant factor in why you see pixelation.
-- Also it will be good to check the Premiere Elements project setting
When playing a DVD on a high resolution screen (either HD TV or computer monitor) the effectiveness of the upscaling hardware or software doing the playback is a factor in the quality of image that you see. I don't suspect that this is your only problem, but it can be a factor.

PSE 9 Slide Show pixelated

I have created a slide show in PSE 9 with sharp JPEGs of @ 3MG each.
When viewing the photos in full screen, they are badly pixelated.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Advanced slide shows

Im making and advanced slide show and have recently switched over to FCE. In imovie they have the ken burns effect for pictures. I was wondering if I could do something similar in FCE (I'm assuming I can and with much more customization available I'm just not sure how). Thanks.

IPhoto does not retain slide show settings

I'm making a simple slide show using the Ken Burns effect. Some of the transitions work well, but others cut off the tops of heads and titles I imported from another program. I find Title slides very difficult to create in iPhoto but that's another story.
There doesn't seem to be any way to save or finalize a slide show. Just when I think I've set it the way I want, it takes over and starts cutting off pieces of the images. I have tried cropping within iPhoto, or editing in Photoshop using the "edit in external editor" option. My changes do not get saved so there are ridiculous unprofessional chopped-off slides. I'd like this to look right before I post it at my organization's website and am getting frustrated.

Success! Thank you so much. I would have replied sooner but I spent the morning going through your advice step by step and every time I gave my slide show a tweak - it worked.
As I enter this reply I am exporting the slideshow so it can be uploaded.
In case this should be helpful to another user I'll go through your queries:
Are you creating the slideshow directly from an album of photos or user the iPhoto Slideshow mode?
• I am still blundering along figuring out the distinctions between Events and Albums. In this case I imported my slides into the Photos section, in carefully numbered sequence because on my previous import they ended up in a confusing mess. I dragged and dropped the numbered files into the slideshow I was creating.
Are the cut off photos in the portrait orientation?
• Mostly, but not always.
Are you using the Ken Burns theme or applying KB to selected photos?
• I used KB, even though I knew I was asking for trouble…
What theme are you using?
• KB was the theme I picked because it seemed to work best for this set of images. I tried Classic with dissolves but after tweaking using your information, preferred KB and am using it.
First guess is that you have the optiion to Scale photos to fill screen selected:
• I was completely ignorant of this feature. Very important!
If you're using a specific theme some of them do not handle portrait oriented photos well. They do get cut off at top and bottom.
• I will keep that in mind for future slide shows.
Also set the aspect ration to TV: 4:3 unless the photos are in the widescreen size ratio: 16:9
• This may have been the final setting for success.
Now I can face my boss

Quick Slide show

Hi,
I need some help here defending the honour of Mac against PC.
We visited some (PC using) friends at the weekend taking our camera with us. In order to look at the photos our friend put our memory card into a Card reader and simply opened a (manual) slide show straight from the memory card using "windows photo and fax viewer"
In a couple of weeks we are returning the favour and he has said that he will bring a usb memory stick of photos with him.
Now... In order to view them on my macBook I can only think that I will have to import the photos into my iPhoto library, then move them into slide show, then view them and then delete from iPhoto when we have finished. Yes, I will have music and Ken Burns effects, but it is a lot more involved and time consuming than on the PC.
In order to show how much better my Mac is at handling photos than a PC, there HAS to be a faster, smarter way to just look at photos from a USB memory stick!
Any advice welcome... Thanks,
David.

Hi there,
If you can open the Memory Stick > highlight all the photos > right click > look for "slideshow" and go... you should see a full screen slidshow start up
If they are simple Jpegs this will work pretty good, a menu bar will appear near the bottom and disappear if you don't need it, simply move mouse and menu bar will reappear. Nice links to index of images, forward and backward buttons etc...

Slide Show flexibility. Is it possible to arrange pictures manually?

iPhoto slideshow seems to fully automate the arranging of pictures into pages of different templates. This is cool as a default, but is there a way to manually rearrange the pictures?
In the scrapbook theme for example there are pages with one picture, other pages have multiple pictures. Is it possible to select which page template is used for each page of the slide show?
Is it possibly to manually select which picture goes in which slot of the template?
Seems like a basic function, but can't seem to find how to do it. If not supported, are there workarounds for this?
Thank you.

I had a quick scan of those comments, and most of those are from more than 18 months ago. The comments from this year are either: factually wrong ("very few slideshow designs" - it has 35 or thereabouts) or complaints about the Upgrade policy.
There is no substitute for downloading and trying it yourself.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie, on every Mac sold, as is iDVD.
Others, in order of price:
PhotoPresenter $29
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Express $199
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs.
However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.
