More slideshow transition effects

Fade, horizontal, and vertical are nice but kind of boring. Are there any plans to have more transition effects in slideshows, like some of the ones in PowerPoint like:
- Blinds Horizontal
- Blinds Vertical
- Box In
- Box Out
- Checkerboard Across
- Checkerboard Down
Is there anyway to have different ones now through coding?
Thank you,
Gary

Hi Gary
You can use the available options with slideshows and if you want something specific then you can try to integrate third party sliders.
Please feel free to add your suggestions in our ideas section.
Thanks,

Slideshow Transition Effect

Hi! could someone name, or tell me how to generate, the
specific Transition Effect on this site:
brettco.us ?
If there is a 3rd party program such as JetPhoto or
FlashGallery Generator that will create this effect, please let me
know -- I'd love to minimize complexity and use such a program.
Thanks!

I don't know that there's any readily available gallery for
this, but there may be one like it for sale online if you search
around.
In looking at it closely, it appears to be a case of using an
animated mask (two mask pieces moving/expanding) over an image that
is being tweened from dark to light. So it probably involves
sequential placement of movieclips one atop another, where each
movieclip contains what I just described.

Slideshow transitions

Does anyone know if third-party plug-ins are available for iPhoto slideshow transitions? Or, is there a way to edit the characteristics of an existing transition?
I was disappointed in the dissolve transition in iPhoto 5, in that the image brightness dims during the transition. This makes transitions between images that build on each other seem too obvious instead of allowing the new element to just fade into view (particularly noticeable when using a white background). This aspect appears unchanged in iPhoto 6.
I'd love to know if anyone else has been frustrated by this. Have you discovered a work-around, or is there another slideshow program that gives more control in this area but will still export to iDVD?

Frederick:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Haven't seen any 3rd party transitions available for iPhoto. If you don't use Ken Burns effects you can build your slideshow right in iDVD by importing from an album in iPhoto and add your transition in iDVD. You will be limited to only 1 transition per slideshow the the image quality is generally superior to that of the slideshows created in iPhoto and exported to iDVD.

Transition Effects Walkthrough?

Hello Forums:
I'm wondering how the transition effects on this website is done:

How does the creator organize his layers and animation so that the site zooms out and zooms back in?
Thanks.

Try to make a few more transitional states in between with varying levels of opacity for each picture (and play with the State Delay time). Other than that, i don't think Fireworks has transitional effects for slideshows (i may be wrong).

Transition + Effects = Madness!!

I'm just playing around, trying to get my iMovie bearings, and this is what I decided to try:
I've got about a 15 second clip of myself playing guitar and singing a song. I've got the song itself in the second timeline track. (It took awhile to sync them up, there's got to be an easier way!) I've got about five second of blank space converted to clip before me playing. I used a Lightspeed transition between the two which lasts about 2 seconds. About fifteen frames after the transition is OVER I want an electricty effect to hit my guitar, so I set Effect In to about 2 and a half second, or two seconds and 15 frames. I set Effect out at the full 10 seconds, so that the effect would only last about 2 seconds.
Didn't quite work out how I wanted. The effect (Electricity) was going on, granted fading in, as soon as the Lightspeed transition started showing me playing guitar, in fact, as the transition was taking place. And the effect lasted the duration of the clip. . Never mind...what I bet I have to do is slpit the clip immediately after the transition split and then again two seconds later, and apply the effect to only that clip.

Transition effects between the states..?

Hi, There.
How I can set the "Transition effects" between the states please?. When I add the different photos to the several states, I want to set the transition effects like "Fade". Help me anyone please.
Thanks

Slideshow transitions speeds and slide duration

Yet again I'm updating a site created in a previous version of Muse and run into problems. Can anyone enlighten me?
The site - www.edinburghblue.co.uk - contains two slideshows. One contains the site background images and the second contains rotating text information.
In the original Muse site both slideshows had a Transition Speed of 0.5 seconds and the image duration was set to 5 seconds. Both slideshow changed in sync.
Since opening and updating the site in Muse v4.1 Build 8 - this morning - the slideshows are now out of sync. I've been phaffing around with the settings but the bottomline is that the site doesn't look as slick as it once did.
Has anyone encountered the same issue? If yes, how did you resolve it?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Thanks for the compliment Malcolm.
On the face of it the slides do look in sync but for me there's almost a half second delay between the two shows.
In the previous version of the site the background image changed at exactly the same time as the text.
If you look closely there now appears to be a slight delay.
I'm aware that Adobe provided us with more controls over slideshow transitions, which was most welcome.
I just wondered if there were any guidelines anywhere on how to use them.
It may be a case that different bandwidths are causing this slight outage - but that's me speaking off the top of my head!
I'll muck around with the settings a bit more and see if I can achieve the same effect as the site once had.

How do i get more slideshow themes in iphoto 09

i would like add more slideshow themes or possible create my own. how do i do this.
thanks in advance.

You can't, I'm afraid.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie, on every Mac sold.
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.

Slideshow Transitions in iPhoto 3 won't export to QuickTime

Hello,
Would anyone be able to offer any suggestions/solutions to the problem I'm having with Slideshow transitions in iPhoto? I like the Cube transition, for example, and it appears on the screen when I tell iPhoto to play a slideshow that I am developing, but when I go to export same as a QuickTime movie, the transition in effect is Dissolve and not the specified Cube.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Sincerely,
ByTheLIghtOfQuiveringAspensMade

BTLQAM:
Can you give us some additional information regarding your setup: model, RAM, hard drive size and free space, system version, QT version, and exact iPhoto version?
You will have to update to iPhoto 5 in order to be able to get other than the dissolve transition in your iPhoto QT slideshows.

N97 Transition Effect Problem

As you all know that the N97 user interface is not attractive due to the lack of the real transition effects, my 5800 have a nice iphone like transitions, but for the N97 the transition effect is very simple! Only some sliding menus and that’s it!! I wonder where is the screen orientation swivel effect we've seen in early N97 prototype videos? However, once I enable the transition effects on my N97 it will start to become unstable with crashes and it will affect some other programs like the photo gallery (will hang sometimes and gives low res pictures or just the whole program will go to the background while using the zoom button!) and the Web browser will start to display mid and large websites without images!!! I tried to reload the page so many times but only the text appears without any image! After trying so many times at last the page loaded successfully with all images but my happiness didn't last as I discovered that the phone turned off the transition effects automatically! When I went to the themes menu to check, it was turned on but actually it’s not working as the phone disabled it in order to load the web page! It happened to my three times since I updated my firmware last week (V 11)! I think this is because of the lack of enough RAM, I removed all the online widgets from the home screen (like facebook and accuweather) and just used contacts, programs, calendar, email, and music shortcuts which gave me additional 5 MB of free RAM and the phone felt more stable but still can’t handle the transition effects and proper Web pages display simultaneously! My 5800 handles web pages better and display all images even if the transition effects are turned on! I hope Nokia will fix these issues and gives us an option to disable the Widgets and Kinetic scrolling (Make the UI just like the 5800) in order to have more free RAM and enjoy full transition effects and proper Web Browsing with better stability just like the 5800.

Any updates on the effects? I wrote to Nokia support, I'm in Russia, they replied.
I have illustrated my question with the links to youtube where it is clearly visible how the UI rotates and other animation effects when opening the widgets.
My translation of the official reply:
"In firmware version 11 those effects do work! Try to resent the phone to the factory settings by typing: *#7780#, standard lock code is - 12345 or try to format the phone memory. Do your data and contacts back up using PC Suite . enter *#7370# (formats phone memory), enter the code 12345 the phone will resent. Then restore your back up."

Keynote '09: 2 transition effects per slide initiated by 2 hyperlinks?

I want to do a flip book. So far it looks great.
I'm using forward and back hyperlinks to transition b/w slides.
Problem: I can only get one style of transition effects/slide, so when I flip back to a previous slide the flip animation looks like I'm flipping forward.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Ok... After more scouring, I found this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2355380?start=0&tstart=0
Which had this part buried in it:
Remove the navigation (rip out the hyperlinks), set the presentation to run as a Normal Presentation, then Share>QuickTime>Fixed Timing. That's right, I said Fixed Timing. Turns out me and a lot of other people (and yes, some tier 1 support folk at Apple) misunderstood Fixed Timing. Fixed Timing lets a Normal presentation run with the audio and moves on to the next slide when the audio is finished - which is exactly what I wanted (the QuickTime controls automatically appear after the movie is rendered). Slide Duration is actually the delay between slides so set this to 1 second and Build Duration affects the timing of the Builds, but I also set this to 1 second since it was destined for web delivery (bandwidth!).
I struck thru the first part b/c that wasn't relevant to my issue, BUT... what WAS relevant was removing all of my carefully timed slide delay transitions, then using the above method. It worked flawlessly, as far as I can tell. It seems without documentation or help of any kind (that I could find) no one, even Apple support staff, knows what the true function of Fixed Timing is supposed to be. So hopefully, if someone else stumbles across this post, they'll be able to do the right thing, from the start and not waste hours with expensive or additional programs and work arounds.
Follow the above method and still get your timed HD quality Quicktime .mov.

IOS5 missing slideshow transitions?

After upgrading my iPhone4 to iOS5, it would appear some of my Photo Slideshow Transitions are missing. In particular when I airplay a picture slideshow to an upgraded ATV2, it is stuck on Ken Burns transition which isn't even an option in my transitionsand is too zoomed to see most of the faces. However this is not the case when I play the slide show on my iPhone without airplay, it is uses what ever transition is chosen again Ken Burns is not availalble.
Having had the conversation on another thread with BobbyCo57, we established after the upgrade he had 9 transitions and I have 5.
This follows this thread: iPhone4 to ATV2 slideshow - How do I stop Ken Burns effect?
I figure I cannot turn Kenny Burns off if I can't see it. Below is what I see I'd like to get to 9 transitions, can anyone help?

John,
Why? Do you know? Where do I find that particular thread? The lynda.com tutorial is for CS3. They seem to have all the transitions...also the Library is much richer that what I have? Are there pluggins for the removed tools?
Thanks, --bill

Trying to make Tile Transition Effect a rollover effect

Hello all-
I'm a newbie to AS3 and I'm hoping someone can help me. I am trying to make the Tile Transition Effect, from flash-filter.net, into a rollover effect. I originally began working off of the 3D Cube Rollover Transition script and I was able to get the rollover part to work but as soon as the first transition is done I get this error message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at net.flashfilter.as3.effects.tileflip::TileFlip3D/processFrame()
at net.flashfilter.as3::PaperBase/onRenderFrame()
I realize that the error itself means that I am trying to call something that is not instantiated yet, but I am unsure where my code is wrong, and I am also unclear on what the 2nd and 3rd lines mean. Here is the code:
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, _onOver);
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, _onOut);
var running = false;
var goIn = false;
var goOut = false;
function _onOver(e:MouseEvent){
if(!running){
_createAnimation("in");
running = true;
}else{
goIn = false;
goOut = true;
function _onOut(e:MouseEvent){
if(!running){
_createAnimation("out");
running = true;
}else{
goIn = true;
goOut = false;
function _inAnimationDone(e:Event){
e.target.removeFilter();
img1.visible = false;
if(goIn){
_createAnimation("out");
}else{
running = false;
goOut = false;
function _outAnimationDone(e:Event){
e.target.removeFilter();
img2.visible = false;
if(goOut){
_createAnimation("in");
}else{
running = false;
goIn = false;
function _createAnimation(dir:String){
var myFilter:TileTransitionEffectAS3 = new TileTransitionEffectAS3();
myFilter.mouseEnabled = false;
myFilter.mouseChildren = false;
addChild(myFilter);
if(dir == "in"){
myFilter.init(img1, img2, 10, 20, 40, 40, "Mode7", "l->r");
myFilter.addEventListener(TileTransitionEffectAS3.ANIMATION_DONE, _inAnimationDone);
}else if(dir == "out"){
myFilter.init(img2, img1, 10, 20, 40, 40, "Mode7", "r->l");
myFilter.addEventListener(TileTransitionEffectAS3.ANIMATION_DONE, _outAnimationDone);
Thanks in advance to anyone that might be able to shed some light on the situation!

I'm assuming that you want to do something like the push into all of the stills. There's no real trick, there is just a bunch of work. You have to distribute your layers in 3D space and animate the camera. I'd suggest you start with simple moves with just 3 or 4 layers. Get that right, then start adding layers until you've achieved the complexity you desire.
If I had the artwork and were to try and match the camera move that happens around 7 seconds I'd budget about a half hour. The move from 15 seconds to about 18 seconds is mostly a single setup repeated 3 times. Something that complex would take me about an hour and a half but it could easily take all day, depending on the images needed and whether or not I had to do a bunch of resizing to complete the project.
The other option would be to use the Card Dance plug-in. Card Dance is a complex plug-in that requires some training to use. To learn more type card dance into the search field in AE and look at the training materials. The move on the red layer with all the squares at about 1:47 could be created quite quickly with Card Dance.

Faulty slideshow transitions in iPhoto 5.0.4

Since upgrading to iPhoto 5.0.4 I am unable to successfully run any slideshow transitions except "Dissolve" on my PowerBook G4 17" with the 23" cinema display. ALL the transitions on my 20" FlatPanel work fine.
I have tried re-installing 5.0.4, restarting my computer, repairing permissions in Disc Utility, transferring my iPhoto Library from the 20" FlatPanel to the 17" PowerBook, all without success. I would appreciate any help or suggestions with grateful thanks.
PowerBook G4 17" Mac OS X (10.4.3) With Apple 23" Cinema HD Display

An update... I've discovered that whenever "dissolve" or "fade to black" is played for any photo in the slide show, all others then default to "dissolve". To me, this is clearly a bug! For example, when I set the overall default to be "cube", and all photos set to "default (cube)", it plays fine. When I adjust just one photo to "dissolve", then cube plays for all photos up to that one, then all subsequent photos play "dissolve", and this even continues when the slide show auto-repeats (even thought the fist ones in the show first played "cube")!! I have to quite iPhoto and restart to get back the cube transition. If I set the one photo to "fade to black", a very similar behaviour... all photos after the "fade to black" photo play "dissolve" (yes! not fade to black, but DISSOLVE!) I spent a good amount of time with Apple this week, all the way up to a product specialist. The 2nd level tech support seems to think it's an iPhoto bug, somehow in the way it behaves on the G4 sawtooth. The product specialist was a bit more cagey, suggesting that no one has ever called in with this complaint, and blaming my processor upgrade (a Sonnet 1.2G which has never given me any problem). So... please call in if you have this problem and make your voice heard!!

Page transitions effects

I've looked around a lot, but I have not been able to find
any tutorial explicitly going over just how to design transition
effects between pages (i.e., the effect through which the Home page
loads, and how to smoothly dissapear its content when the viewer
clicks to go to a different page, and the same thing for all pages
basically).
I've learned the basics of motion and shape tweening, as well
as masking (using tweens), and some basic actionscript, however,
with various content on my pages it does not allow me to do a
mask/tween nor is it at all a practical solution for my specific
problem: again, I want the pages to load up and dissapear smoothly
with some sort of effect. I have set the pages up using labels.
Any input, or link to a descent tutorial on the subject would
be greatly appreciated.
Chuck

Thanks for the posting.
While they're pretty terse, the InDesign Help files are pretty clear about whether things can be exported or not.
For example:
"Movies and sound clips you add to a document can be played when the document is exported to Adobe PDF or SWF, or when you export the document to XML and repurpose the tags." (Doesn't mention FLA files.)
or
"Page transitions display a decorative effect such as a dissolve or wipe when you’re turning pages in a document that is exported to SWF or PDF format. You can apply different transitions to different pages, or you can apply a single transition to all the pages. Page transitions are especially useful when you create a slideshow in PDF or SWF format." (Doesn't mention FLA files.)
or
"Animation effects let you make objects move in your exported SWF files. For example, you can apply a motion preset to an image that makes it appear to fly in from the left side of the screen while shrinking and spinning. Use the following tools and panels to animate documents." (Doesn't mention FLA files.)
But:
"When you export your InDesign document to FLA file format, you can open the file in Adobe Flash® CS5 Professional to edit the contents. Exporting to FLA in InDesign CS5 format replaces XFL export in InDesign CS4. Use the Flash authoring environment to edit or add video, audio, animation, and complex interactivity." (The last sentence says you should do those things in Flash Professional.)
