Making a Slide show with Video, Pictures, and Music

Hi,
I'm putting together a slide show with music containing music, narration, pictures and video shot from different cameras…would like to export in the best quality i can…
What formats:
o Pictures
o Video
o Audio
o Narration
along with:
Codecs
Compressions
Are best used with FCE?

Thanks very much for your response...one of the cameras used was a Sony HDV U1000...I believe it was shot 1080i..couldn't tell you what other cameras were, but I'm pretty sure they weren't HD cameras...just trying to help a buddy edit his project, but it seems the formats are all over the place....Trying to convert the sources so we can output a good product...I would probably use iDVD to make the DVD...I've made some videos for another friend using my Sony VX2100 and they look awesome...
Thanks again for your help, it's very appreciated!

Making a slide Show composed of pictures and videos.. Compatability questio

So I was given some home movies (on DVD) and some pictures (in JPEG Format) from a family friend and asked to make a slide show.
I have some questions regarding FCE:
1. In the past I've had problems with interlacing regarding moving pictures (i.e. ken burns effect) - the pictures would come out distorted and clear horizontal interlacing lines would flicker. The flicker filter and deinterlace didn't work and I've tried the 1 px blur before hand. The problem is completely random and annoying. If anyone has any recommendations on how to fix this before I start it would be much appreciated. Should I change the pictures to a different format? resize?...
2. I will use MPEG stream clip to convert the dvd's to DV format and then use a DV format easy setup in FCE with a 4:3 aspect ratio (is this correct)? Are there any timeline settings I should change to specifically support this kind of format along with the JPEG's?
3. What export settings should I use if I plan to burn this to a DVD and play it on a projector?
Thanks in advance, let me know if I need to clarify anything.

Haven't started using the pictures yet so I haven't had to use any filters, I was just stating some problems I've experienced in the past to see if anyone could give me a preemptive solution.
I am more concerned with getting all the setup options correct before I start. I'd also like to know what export settings are best for DVD use as I've had some blurring problems with exports in the past as well. And I usually do not do a full render of the sequence before I export, I was under the impression it renders automatically when you do an export.

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.

Making a slide show with ActionScript

I know, I know...why aren't I using Powerpoint to do a slide show? Because I want to incorporate more detailed animation into the presentation that I can only do in Flash. My question is simply this: How do I simply make Flash move from one image to another via clicking? The script I was trying to use involved a stop on the frame and this:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(2) }
...on the image, which is a button. I don't get any errors upon export, but the functions still don't work. It remains stuck at frame 1.
I don't want thumbnails or anything in this. Just to stop on frame 1, click, then go to frame 2, stop, click. You get the idea. There will also be occasional animations and sounds happening over the images, which I imagine I can just use matching scripts for.
Can anyone suggest what actions I can apply to frames and/or clips/buttons to achieve the slide show look?

That one didn't work either. No error messages, but it also doesn't move. But I had some luck with this code:
on (release)
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
I don't know yet how to make it change scenes, but it's definitely working for the slide show effect. Thanks very much for your help, though!

Making a slide show with iPhoto

How do I control the speed of my slideshow? I want to change each slide individually, myself, without the computer automatically changing each slide?

With iMovie you can have different transitions (22 to choose from) in the same movie/slideshow, a variety of titles, subtitles and animated titles, special effects and the same themes as in iPhoto. In iPhoto there's only one transition per slideshow, only simple photo titles or comments can be displayed in one corner.
You can import photos into iMovie via the Media Browser the same as you would select an album in iPhoto to create a slideshow. Take a set of about 20 photos and try creating a slideshow in each app to see which you like best.

HT1386 Help with syncing pictures and music

Hi - I have an Ipad 2 and when I first synced everything up with my itunes, it added all of my music and photos. Now my ipad says storage is full. I want to delete some songs and photos though it appears that I need to be on my home computer to do this and not my ipad. When I try and sync it says it will delete what I have. Do I do this, and with my pictures it just shows me general folders to sync, not specific photos. Can anyone help?

Did you format the new card? You need to do that before being able to access it. You do that via SETTINGS / SD Card & Phone Storage - you need to UNMOUNT it first, then click on FORMAT SD CARD.
As far as the MUSIC, I would just connect via USB and access the files (DCIM / MEDIA) via File Folders on your PC .. get the Media Manager out of the way - it causes more problems than solutions. IMHO.

We would like to create a picture book with text, pictures and music. What can we use, is there a template?.

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

How do create a slide show with both video and photos in elements 12

how do create a slide show with both video and photos in elements 12

Hi Brian
You can batch process a set of prepared slides from Full Edit (see image) using:
File >> Process Multiple Files
In the PMF dialog you can choose filename, date, or description (caption)
Make sure you choose a separate destination folder to your source folder so as tot to permanently overwrite your originals.

I just installed iPhone 11 and when I try to play a slide show, it just blinks and and shows the whole group of pictures at once. I have done many slideshows with older versions of iPhoto. How can I fix this?

I just installed iPhoto from the iLife 11 and when I try to play a slide show, it just blinks and shows a whole bunch of pictures at once. I have done many slide shows with no problem in an earlier version of iPhoto. What can I do to fix this?

thats tough man, yeah exchanging it is the best option. But why do people always leave a message saying" i'll probably just by an ipod" and it's usually followed by, "even though i don't like apple or ipod" . I mean fine, if u feel like giving up on the zen micro thats fine, i personally don't care if you're going to buy an ipod. for god sakes ipod isn't even the next alternati've mp3 players, theres plenty. Are u just trying to get the creative people saying "oh man we lost another one to ipod" cuz i'm sure they don't lose sleep over u wanting to buy an ipod instead of a zen. *done ranting*

I have created a slide show with pictures and music in Iphoto and when I try export it I get Error You do not have sufficient permission for this operation.

I have created a slide show with pictures and music in Iphoto and when I try export it I get Error You do not have sufficient permission for this operation. Try to export to an external HD attached, all help would be gratefully received

Have you ever successfully saved anything to that external drive? My first two thoughts are that the drive isn't formatted for the Mac or that you don't have rights to save to the drive.

Created a slide show in Premiere Pro and the picture quality changed.

I worked on a group of pictures in Adobe photo shop and in Adobe Premiere Pro created a slide show with music.
When I play the video the resolution is poor but when I stop playing the pictures become crystal clear again! Help!

As shooternz stated, there is a Wrench Icon next to the Program Monitor.
Click on it, go to Playback Resolution and make sure it is set to "Full"

Wanting to Use My MBP and HD Plasma TV to Show some Slide Shows With Audio

Hello-
I am tired from going around to Best Buy, Radio Shack, etc. and explaining what I want to help a friend do and coming home but not having what I was sold work.
What I am trying to do is connect my MBP to the HD TV and not only have the visuals of a photo presentation or a music "slide show" and other projects come through the TV ut also have the audio come through the TV. The cables that I purchased have worked in seeing what is on my MBP on the TV but I can't get what I need to also have the audio come through the TV.
If anybody has any idea what I need to do this, I would appreciate any help. I put together, for my friend to use at his mother's funeral, using Keynote a picture slide show with music of her life. I want to bring the HD plasma TV to the mortuary and use my remote with my MBP to help my friend give a talk while the music is playing on the TV and he can use the remote to advance the pictures forward (and have the sound come through the TV). it seems the problem has been getting the sound from the MBP to come through and out the TV.

I don't know what MB Pro you have... 2008 early/late, 2009, mid 2010, etc. ???
Also, what Audio inputs are available for your HDTV?
Not knowing these things for sure, here are your options:
1. If the HDTV has "Optical Audio" input then you can use this cable to get audio (regardless of what model MBP you have) This kind of audio input is often referred to as Toslink.
I resolved the problem on my machine unexpectedly
2. If the HDTV only has RCA stereo inputs then you need this cable (again regardless of MBP model)

If you do have Toslink available on the TV, that is the better choice. Also a perk with Toslink is it even provides 5.1 surround sound capability which is available from your MBP.
As for your Macbook Pro, only the current 2010 models provide audio and video via the mini display port. So, if you your MBP is new, you could use this adapter, mini display to HDMI, then run a standard HDMI cable to your TV.

Earlier MBP that have Minidisplay port only provide video out so you'd still need #1 or #2 above to deliver audio.
If your MBP has DVI port for video, that as well only provides a video signal so #1 or #2 above would apply.
This should cover all of the possibilities.

My Samsung TV has a USB port. I connect the cable from the iPad to the TV to view a video on the TV. The video shows on the iPad but on the TV I can only get the pictures and music available on the iPad. Why is this and can I show videos from the IPad on

How do I make my keynote or iMovie slide show (with music) into a DVD, without iDVD as I don't have it and you can no longer purchase from Apple.

I am new to Apple, since Oct '11. ( iDVD did not come with this laptop). I am making a slide show in keynote and can't download to iDVD to make it into a DVD that I can play on any home player. As far as I know, I need to make it into a quicktime file, then find some 3rd party software to convert to DVD. Has anyone had any luck with this. I think I may just purchase an old copy of iLife from Amazon...
