Moving multiple slides in slideshow editor

I am creating a slideshow with Photoshop Elements and I have hundreds of slides imported into the slideshow.
My question is how can I move more than one slide at a time. I have tried Ctrl, cut, paste and it will only move one slide at a time. I have whole groups of pictures that I need to reorder. Can anyone help?
Thanks

My first conclusion is that making a WMV file is better choice now because you seem to be short on time and short on hard drive space. In the Output command parameters to save as a WMV file, I would choose the largest dimension choice (on your system it may be 800x600).
However be aware that making a WMV file will still take a long time for that many slides from high resolution photos. And we will not know if you have sufficient disk space until you try.
--What is the total size of this hard drive that has only 11% free?
Yes, do work on freeing up more space.
Making a video DVD would take more time, additional software and probably more disk space during the process of making the DVD. That is why I do not recommend it for you now. It could be done later when you are under less time pressure.
PDF slide shows have the following limitations
-- can not use pan and zoom on the slides
-- can not effectively time the music or other audio to specific slides
-- not all transitions are available
So unless you can not successfully make a WMV file, I doubt that a PDF file is your best choice.

Missing functions in Slideshow Editor?

I am (clearly) a novice Aperture user, and am struggling with the Slideshow Editor Default Settings set up.
I would like to add text to various slides in a slideshow. BUT...
I have looked through all the booklet and online help with regards to adding text to a slide, so have selected the 'Slideshow Settings Button' and page 143 shows the text functions I need, but in my 'Default Settings' pane the 'Transition' options and the 'Text' options are missing. (Only Aspect Ratio, Background and Play slide for X seconds is showing) Can you add these other options manually? If so - please help!
Many thanks, please forgive my daft question, but I just gave up looking for it!

Nathan,
You are a superstar, and looking at my slideshow theme selections - absolutely spot-on! None of the 3 I'd set up were 'Classic' or 'Ken Burns', so I've swapped themes and can now do what I needed.
Thanks everso, and have a lovely New Year.

Photoshop Elements 13 Slideshow Editor Sucks

I just upgraded from version 11 and I am VERY, VERY disappointed with the slideshow editing capability. I've been a loyal PSE user for many years and have loved the creative control with the slideshow editor. Version 13's slideshows are pitiful. There is no way to add pan and zoom individually, can't add music and fit to slides, can't add blank slides and text for titles, can't change transition effects, etc. What were the developers thinking? Can I downgrade to version 12? I purchased the software at Best Buy.

I am getting extremely frustrated with Adobe ---- one more time. My slide show in 13 does not function beyond allowing me to select a theme. Once selected, nothing happens other than returning me to the organizer screen. I spent a wasted hour on Adobe chat being informed that they are only trained for download issues and essentially know nothing about slideshows in 13
So with no help.... I will have to give up the slideshow functionality unless someone with knowledge can reply here to get it working. I believe it worked a month ago when I first tried it but now it has nothing .... no preview nada. . Looks like I am out of luck.

Slideshow Editor

How do you find the slideshow editor? I have selected images, set up slide show. In the split view screen I do not have the controls on the right side such as export on the right top (as shown in the manual) I do not have the buttons on the bottom right of the screen (which i believe turns on the editor). It does not appear in any drop down menu that I can find. I have selected the images and it plays. The controls in the left side (task bar) are there as shown in the manual, the controls are not on the right top or bottom. Can you help. Thanks.

There's a feature that allows you to see the Slideshow album as you would any other album so that you can work on the images. You may have that button checked.

PS8 Win Slideshow editor existing sound caption ignored

I have a slide with a sound caption. It plays fine from thumbnail view by clicking on the thumbnail speaker icon and from the property panel speaker icon and also in the full screen view in a slideshow but it is ignored when I try to create a slideshow with the slideshow editor and play it. I have checked the box in Slideshow preference for include audio caption as naration but when I play slideshow it doesn't play either with/without music background. When I click on the mike icon on Extras bar, there is 00:00:00 time shown for the caption. I can record a new audio for the slideshow and that works fine but I want to play the existing audio clip/caption that I can play in a full screen slideshow. If I record a new clip and click box to save narration as audio caption, it replaces my old audio
Anyone have idea of how to make work or is this a bug.

I think that it is a bug and I suspect that it also existed in some previous versions.
My general observation is that Adobe is not spending much effort (or perhaps no effort) on either the slide show creation or on audio captions. So my observation is that this problem you are experiencing has "double jeopardy".
If you want to experiment - you could try
1-- first makeng a copy of the audio file that now contains the photo associated caption for safe keeping: place it in a folder structure outside of Elements
2-- make an audio file of the same lengh by recording from within the slide show editor while positioned on that photo
3-- copy the contents of the audio file that you copied in step 1 and replace the current contents of the audio file created in step 2
Will this work? I don't really know, but if you do want to try we could discuss further. Initially I am not really sure if you want to take the choice of "save narration as audio clip" in step 2 - I think perhaps NOT.
Also I am curious, do you have any previous versions of Photoshop Elements installed? If yes, was the caption associated with the photo file recorded in a previous version of PSE or was it recorded on your camera with its associate photo file?

Audio across multiple slides

How do I get a song to continue to play across multiple slides but not during the whole presentation? For example, I want a song to start on slide #6 and stop at slide #12.

JDT:
Tulse and you are BOTH right. The process is cumbersome and it is a pain. It also has been described in great detail in previous threads in this Forum. Just search on the keywords: music tracks, audio tracks, slides with music, etc.
CAVEAT: slideshows with recorded soundtracks will not play with synchronization when initiated as a Hyperlink; all Builds and Transitions will need to be created to begin either Automatically, or via Click.
This and many other audio-related shortcomings of Keynote have been lamented numerous times to the Keynote Feedback Forum. Hopefully, some future upgrade to Keynote will address these issues. Until then, all we can do is apply band-aid work-arounds.

PE 9 Slideshow editor window is locked half off screen

In Photoshop Elements 9 I was editing a slideshow in Organizer on a dual monitor setup. In the slideshow editor window, I clicked the full screen option, and the window moved to a position on the right of the screen, half off the screen (see attached pic). I can't use it in that position, nor move the window back, nor resize it.
I've restored all the defaults I can think of, restarted the program, rebooted the computer, but still when I open slideshow editor, the editor window is locked in that unusable position.
How do I move the window, reset the default position, or erase whatever file tells PE9 to place the window there?

Partial solution
I got PE9 working by deactivating the second monitor and then reopening PE9 on one monitor. Then when I edit the slideshow, the edit window opens on the primary monitor, and continues to do after I reactivate the second monitor, so I can do the editing.
The problem now is that the edit window fills the entire screen, and there doesn't appear to be a way to get it back to its original size, ie, I can't shrink the window. Any ideas?

Problems copying and pasting multiple slides from one captivate to another.

I have been able to copy and paste several slides into
another captivate and suddenly this has stopped working. I am using
the ctrl key to select multiple slides (a set of 3) and the using
the Edit drop-down to select copy slide. Then, I click on the other
captivate and click paste slides. It is only bringing 1 slide, the
first one, and not the 2nd and 3rd... any ideas. I've had another
set of eyes look over my shoulder... and we're both scratching our
heads.
Also, for some reason the text entry boxes are being copied,
but the failure caption associated with it does not come along. It
also copied the button but lost the association with the text entry
box. WTH?

This might work, this might not. I have copy paste problems
on a regular basis and all that works for me is closing Captivate
down and then re open and continue. At worst, a reboot tends to
solve this glitch in my experience.
Good Luck

Moving multiple queries from one category to another in QM

Hi All,
Is there is any way of moving multiple queries from one category to another in the query manager?
Or is the only way of doing it by saving each one individually into a different category.
Any ideas ?
Regards,
Rakesh N

Hi Rakesh,
The query manager has limited function compare with normal file management applications. Under current design, you have to do this one by one. You just need to make sure move the smaller amount of queries to large category. Category name can be changed easily.
Thanks,
Gordon

Is there a way to print presenter notes with multiple slides per page?

I know you used to be able to do this with earlier versions by selecting options in the print dialog box, but I'm now using Keynote 6.1 on Mavericks, and I can only figure out how to do one or the other, not both. There will probably be over 100 students printing these out, so I'd really, really like to save paper by putting multiple slides on a page, but I want them to have both the slide and the notes.
Thanks in advance!

How to save a pdf with multiple slides per page

I have multiple pdf files that I would like to combine but for some of those files, there were originally from powerpoint. For those files, I would like to change the pdf so that there are multiple slides per page. I don't have a copy of the original powerpoints. I am trying to find an easy way to do this because I have at least a hundred pdfs to do. Thank you!

You could print a PDF to the Adobe PDF printer, and select multiple Pages per Sheet on the Layout tab of the printer Properties dialog. Printing a PDF to PDF is generally frowned upon, but once it a while it comes in handy. It could have some unwelcome side effects though like wiping out your carefully crafted accessibility tags, bookmarks, and some document properties.

How do I reconnect missing files in the Slideshow Editor?

I created a slideshow and set up everything (pan/zoom, size, etc) and it worked fine.
I saved the project before closing it and had created an output video at 800x600. For some reason I could not create the 1024x768 video.
After shutting down for the night I tried to reopen it again and see if the 1024x768 would work. We will be showing this video on a 12 foot screen of this 1024x768 dimension pixel size… so I like to save it at that dimension.
When I opened the “Slideshow Editor” many of the pictures were missing. I was able to reconnect the pictures in the “Organizer” but they are still missing in the “Slideshow Editor”. It appears that the pictures that are missing are all from one windows folder. Another folder contents are fine.
FYI:
For some reason the pictures had shown up as linked to my external drive… where I have my backup files.
I did get them all linked (reconnected) in the Organizer to my C drive but they still do not show up in the “Slideshow Editor”. I did change (in windows) the file location of these files to get the project better reorganized. That probably kicked off the disconnect in the first place.
Is there some way to get all of these pictures in the “Slideshow Editor” reconnected? It is going to take about 5 hours of work to redo this project if I can not reconnect to these files. Since it was so easy in the Organizer it seems like there should be a way to do this in the “Slideshow Editor”.
I am using “Windows XP” and “Photoshop Elements 8”.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

I know i can do that... the point is i do not want to spend 5 more hours rebuilding the project.
What you are suggesting is just that... starting over.
I would like to correct the problem in the "Slideshow Editor".

Cannot scan multiple slides from Canoscan 8600F

In the past when I had a PC I was able to scan multiple color slides (using the multiple slide adapter), but on my Mac when I installed the Canoscan driver and software, I used Image Capture to scan. Here's what the right side of Image Capture shows:
Kind: Color
Resolution: 75 dpi (I set this low because it is just for web and computer viewing)
Use Custom Size: Letter size
Scan to: Desktop (I have hundreds of slides so is it better to scan to a specific folder? I do not want to mix these scanned photos with my Pictures)
Name: Scan 1,2 etc.
Format: JPEG
Detect Separate Images selected.
The result of the scan shows one image of the film holder and four blackened slides, with no details. No individual slides shown.
What happened?

It's best to scan to a folder on the Desktop so you can keep them together and organized.
You must set the source as "Color Positive Film".
Image Capture with Mt. Lion (and maybe Lion) does not have that slide or transparency setting option.
Use the CanoScan application for slide scanning because it will automatically select each of the 4 slides on the platten and save them as individual images. The CanoSdan Toolbox will do the same.
You can get the latest scanner drivers and CanoScan software here: Canon U.S.A. : Support & Drivers : CanoScan 8600F for OS systems up to Mt. Lion.
I'd reinstall the drivers and the software and give it a try again both with Image Capture and with CanoScan.
NOTE: I've gotten what looks like some roller smudges on the underside of the glass platten. Looks like some of the smudges that I can wipe off the top side when I get them but they are underneath. I haven't noticed any problem with the scans due to them, however. Have you gotten anything similar?

"manually manage music..." missing songs when moving multiple albums at once

Since updating to iTunes 10.6.1.7, when adding songs to my iPhone (iPhone 4, iOS 5.1) it does not fully copy every track/song.
I have it set to "manually manage music and videos" ...when I am moving multiple albums to the thing at once, the earlier albums only copy the songs started before I select the next album. Consequently, I find that I only have partial albums for almost everything. I suppose I could be patient and wait for each album to download before selecting another album, but this used to work before and took a lot less time. (I would drag multiple albums into my iPhone and it would queue up all of the tracks(songs) and correctly download asynchronously.)
Is this a known bug or is there something I am doing wrong? (As always, I did some searching for answers but came up empty on this one...)
Thanks in advance for your help!
MikeY

The order iTunes is showing the tracks can be changed. Select the album column heading to get tracks list in album order. Normally within an album the tracks will list in track order when viewing this way.
