Movies in slide shows
Hi all-
I bought iLife '08 but haven't opened it yet; the main feature I picked it up for is to be able to simply drop a movie in between photo slides.
Well, I'm reading lots of bad stuff about the "upgrade" - is there any (easy) way to do this in 06?
It's a feature I really need...
By the way, I also own iLife '06, DVD Studio Pro (3.0.2) and Final Cut Express... I just love the ease of the iLife apps.
Any help appreciated!
thanks,
Andrew
I cannot seem to do the same in '06... if there is a way to do this in '06, please let me know.
Try accessing the photo via the "Media > Photo" menu. Clicking on a photo brings it into iMovie '06 as a "movie clip" and automatically applies a default KBE. You can, of course, modify the duration of this "clip" and/or make it static if you wish. When satisfied, simply press the "Apply" button on the palette or press the check mark in the viewer area lower right corner to add it to your timeline. How movies are added to your timeline depends on your preference settings in iMovie '06. If the import setting is "Add to Timeline" then drop imported files are added to the end of the timeline and can then be moved to a desired location in the normal manner. If the import is set to the "Clip" bin, then the drop imported files are add to the bin and can be simply moved from the bin to your desired location in the timeline. You can then add transitions, text, effects, etc. as desired.

I purchased a HDMI cable to watch movies and slide shows from my mac book pro to my Sony Bravia TV. I get picture through the TV but no sound. What am I doing wrong?
Go to sounds in system pref and select outputs. When the hdmi cable is plug into the tv it will show as an option under output. Just select that option.

Hello! I am placing the slide show template from Flash CS3
inside of a movie clip, but it is not working! I’ve exhausted
any ideas I had during the past 8 hrs! I’ve even tried using
other slide shows, but no luck! What I am trying to do is, once a
button is clicked from the home page (the site has only 1 scene), a
movie clip slides in, holding a slide show… Is this possible?
Would you be able to direct me to a tutorial or give me an idea of
what I am doing wrong?
I really appreciate your help!
Thanks!I wasn't sure what was meant with the mention of a slideshow
template, but I finally figured it out I think... When you want to
open a new file in Flash CS3, the offerings at the far right
involve a number of templates, one of which is a slideshow
template. I opened it up, managed to open the timeline, and I don't
think it involves any kind of classes, none I could find anyways,
and it appears to be written in AS2.
So I imagine it would be useable as is. It's a basic frame by
frame piece, no dynamic loading. And it otherwise has all the
controls (buttons) that one would need, which could save some time
if tyou wanted to try to create your own.
It's possible there's just some error in how it was brought
in or something... I would just copy its maintimeline frames into a
movieclip in the new file and try to work it from there. One
potential problem is that because it is written in AS2, and it uses
_root references, it may not feel at home when it's placed in a
movieclip on its own. So you probably need to look into the code
and make some adjustments for that kind of stuff.
If the main file is an AS3 file, then you will need to change
the slideshow to AS3 as well if it's gonna live in the same file.
You could save it as a separate swf in AS2 and load it into an AS3
file during run time, but you still may need to modify the _root
references to be _parent types. -
IPhoto 9.6 - slideshow to movie - text slides show only text and no image
Made slideshow in iPhoto 9.6. Runs fine in slideshow mode on my iMac. However, when I export it to my desktop as a movie, slides that I inserted text via the text slide feature (bottom right of iPhoto) - black with the text only - lost the image. This happens on most of the text slides. followed similar procedure before w/ no issues.

Won't burn movie with slide show
I am having trouble burning the disc when I add a slideshow directly into iDVD. Everything goes well until it gets to the burn stage and then I keep getting the message:
"Multiplexer Error"
"There was an error during LayerBreak handling before formatting."
Does anyone have any idea what that means or what needs to be done to solve this problem?
Thanks

Need to transfer slide show/movie to my iMac
I created a slide show using iPhoto on my Mac Book Pro the slide show was converted into a movie file which I transferred to my iPad Air. The slide show is now in the movies section of my iPad. I need to share this slide show with 30 other people, but can't do so from the iPad, that option is not available. I also cannot transfer the movie to my iMac. What am I missing? With that said how can I transfer the movie file/slide show to my iMac so that I can share with others.
If you're thinking why don't I share via the Mac Book pro? My Mac Book Pro Mavericks partition on a dual boot system crashed.I created a slide show using iPhoto on my Mac Book Pro the slide show was converted into a movie file which I transferred to my iPad Air.

Hi All, Hoping I can get some guidance on a project. My cat died recently and we're creating a history of his life to announce to his family & friends. At first, I created a PowerPoint Presentation using Office Mac 2008. It came out great; 28 slides. One problem, it's 35 MB, so it is too large to attach to an e-mail; whether Yahoo or Gmail.
Next step was to reduce the size of the file, that did not work nor did compression: still too large. Oddly, I've received work PP Presentations far larger as e-mail attachments, but apparently Yahoo & Gmail have a 25MB per file limit.
So, I got the idea to export PPP as a movie. Yeah, hope. Hope dashed as movie large was still 31 MB, and if I go any smaller, no one in their right mind can see it.
So, then I thought to create as slide show in iPhoto, then export as movie. Ultimately, same issues with regard to size.
Now, I'm in iWeb thinking to create a web page to hold the movie or slide show. Well, the iMovie is greater than 10 MB and it won't drag into the iWeb movie page. Yet, I can drag in the slide show, but it appears on a photo page.
So, now I'm in iWeb, with a photo page, with all the slide pics in order. I clicked on the "play slideshow" to see how it would work, but it does not appear to work, unless I double click on one pic and then go each next pic using the "next" icon.
The last step would be to insert the music I had, but when in iWeb, I do "insert" go to "choose" the music list opens right up, pick the song. A new box opens and says "drag pic here." Only one pic will drag in, not all.
1) Is there an easier way to add running music to all the slides?
2) If so, can I time the music to each slide as I was able to do in iPhoto slide show suing "adjustments?"
3) Is there an easier way to simply accomplish what I'm trying to do, as this is getting maddening how you simply cannot post 28 small slides, most are pics.
Any feedback is welcomed,
ThanksQTK & Old Toad,
Big Thanks Guys, it all worked out. I followed QTK when I was initially responding and began to understand how to make it work. I joined Mobile.me and uploaded my QuickTime Movie. Then gave it a trial run both at me.com & as if I was sending the link to others.
Yea! it worked! Old Toad, your additional info is great as I was giving thought to size and how some in the rural areas may not have fast connection speeds. My cuz in Missouri just watched it and said all was good.
What all this has taught me is certainly how to interact both MS Office Power Point ( I have MSOffice for Mac 2008) and iPhoto. I utilized PP to create a base slideshow, adding text to slides, sizing of the pictures, timing the music, etc., as PP appears to allow much more creativity & modifications, font colors, styles, etc. Then Export the PP Presentation as jpegs to a subfolder. Then import those jpegs into iPhoto to create the slideshow. While it was a process over a few days, it was well worth the learning. And, why some may roll their eyes and say "Ovey, he could have done it this simply" I feel empowered learning the long route as I usually can visualize the concept and flow, but sometimes have weaker skills on the computing side.
Again, much thanks!!!!! -
Moving iPhoto slide show to iMovie
Using iPhoto, I created a slide show from a series of photos. I used the Ken Burns effect to add motion to the photos and got everything just right. I wanted to export or move the slide show to iMovie so I could add titles between certain of the photos in the slide show. I found an option to export to iDVD but not iMovie. Shouldn't I be able to move the slide show between iPhoto and iMovie? Eventually, I'll want to move my slide show from iMovie to iDVD, but I want to add the titles between the clips first. Does anyone have any advice regarding this matter?
Using iMovie HD 6, IMO it gives the user much better control over clips, stills and adding audio, you click on a still clip and then click on the Show photo settings button at the bottom of the Media pane. A translucent pane will come up where you can set the KB effect parameters.
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) 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. 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.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard. -
Made slide show from iPhotos then......help
it worked well. So saved it. Then wanted to give to friend as photos of holiday.
1. What is best way to do this so she can play on tv?
2. I tried transfering to USB - but don't have stick big enough?
3. Then tried making into Imovie - can you move a slide show into iMovie? If so how?
4. Then finally turned into quicktime movie so .mov but that won't play on tv either, so what do I do?
5. I then thought if I saved as home movies on Itunes it might work....but she can't access it as neither of us use cloud.
6. Now have triples of various slide shows in iPhotos under slide shows, Quicktime Movies, and Itunes - does this mean I am using more space on my computer? Which ones do I delete? Tis scary guys......
If anyone has answers to any of the above I would really appreciate your help. Thanking you. My MacBook Pro doesn't have dvd drive on it.
Thanks,
BelindaWhat is best way to do this so she can play on tv?
There is no simple way to answer this because there are so many TVS with so many different options and specs out there these days.
As for sharing it to her: simplest is upload it to YouTube or Vimeo. -
I want to move my photos into folders, which reflect the contents of iphoto events , to a standalone hard drive. Subsequently I intend to return them a few at a time to edit in Elements. Once they are edited I may return groups to iphoto to organize into slide shows. As things stand now, my iMac drive is rapidly filling up. I do not use raw files so I want to move Jpegs and edit them.
DavidI'm with Léonie. That's a very (and unnecessarily) complicated plan you have there. As Léonie says you can just set Elements as an external editor.
To move a Library:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

How do I move Elements 8 projects (slide shows) from a Windows XP computer to new Windows 7 computer that also has Elements 8 on it so that the slides shows will work (Elements 8 works well on the Windows 7 computer & I have done several new slide show projects on it)? I tried backup & restore without success. I have also found the .psess files and copied them to the catalog in the new computer but when the sides shows are opened none of the images or music is there. Only the text that I entered shows. I have even tried to replicate the file paths from the XP computer to the new computer to see if that will help.
UPDATE: By a stroke of luck I happened to find a catalog link (a PSE8D file) in the 'My Catalog' file where the imported data was stored. When I clicked on it to investigate what is was 'magically' all of my transferred projects appeared in Organizer. Upon further investigation I found that the projects transferred from my XP computer were stored in a hidden catalog that had to be accessed through the Custom Location option in Catalog Manager (accessed by clicking File then Catalog then Custom Location). No Windows or Elements search revealed this fact. I am appreciative that I just got lucky. The Adode/Photoshop company was absolutely of no help. If fact to me their structure is designed to avoid contact with their customers unless you're buying a new product. Their products have many good features (even though user unfriendly) and it's a shame they don't value their customers more once the sale is completed.
Bottom line: All of the projects (sideshows) have been recovered and work in my new Windows 7 computer. I hope my experience helps others. -
How can I get a clearer Movie for my web page when trying to export a slide show in iPhoto.
In iPhoto I am exporting a slide show in the display (size) 1280x800, the original images in the slide show are 600 dpi @ 11" x 8.96". I am using iPhoto 11 Version 9.4.2 on my MacBook Pro OSX version 10.8.2. I am using a wipe transition with a total slide show length of about 17 minutes long with about 96 images. The Display.m4v is 543.8 MB. The slide show is crystal clear when played before downloading to a movie, but once it is in a movie format it is no longer clear. What else can I tell you?
600 dpi @ 11" x 8.96"
600 x 11 = 66,000 pixels and you're reducing them to 1280...
What happens if you export without the wipe? -
when I try to burn my slideshow.mov to a dvd disc, it will burn but when i put it in the dvd player it says 'disc error'. I have burned it thru iDVD before but forgot how to do it and it won't do it now. The slide show is on my desktop
Rather than burn directly to disk follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums. -
I created a slide show on my work computer and placed many photos and movies in my work computer's Media Browser. Want to use another computer (laptop) to give the presentation and therefore change location of slide show. Do I need to copy the media browser to the laptop or once the pictures and movies are embedded in the original slide show, can I take it anywhere and not worry about the media browser?
I also want to optimize a movie for Keynote, so it's not too large a file. Please help.Graphic, sound and video files are copied into the Keynote file, but make sure Keynote > Preferences - include sound and movies check box is ticked.
If you have added additional fonts they will need be changed to reflect what is on the destination machine.
If the other machine has a different Keynote version, ensure the same transitions and effects are available. -
