Music for slide show

I am creating a slide show and the music I use is a bit short so it plays twice. It there any way to eliminate the delay (silence) when it starts again. Maybe this is something I need to do in iTune?
Thanks for all the great tips I keep reading on this forum.

Thanks that worked. I thought it might be a setting in iPhoto but it was a silence of a few seconds at the end of the track and I was able to remove it. Great.

Selecting music for slide shows in I Photo

When 1st using my new IMac G5, I was able to select "Party Shuffle" as one of the selections for music to play for a slide show in the I Photo music selection drop-down box. That option has mysteriously dissapeared. Now, without that option, I can no longer cause a continuos stream of songs to play with a slideshow - - now, the drop-down music selection box will only allow ONE song to be selected at a time. This is unnacceptable. What's happened? Please fix this. . . .

Hi DBG2,
I do not see the Party Shuffle listed as a playlist to select, and I don't ever remember being able to choose it either.
You can either choose a song or a playlist. Check out the quicktime movies to see if you can figure out how to get your selection window to show the playlists.

Music for slide shows iphoto 5.0.4

When I export a slide show, if I export in a Medium file everything fine but if I export in a large file my music breaks up now and then. but my photos are so much nicer in a large file. When I called apple tech support they sugested I reinstall Iphoto. Is this the answer ??

Thanks Ramona

As I recall it's in the Info window that you mentioned that you should be able to change the title of the file:
However, that does not change the file name unless you export the photo out of iPhoto using the Title as the new file name.
If you can change the title there try rebuilding the library's database file and repair library permissions by launching iPhoto with the Option + Command keys held down and select those item to rebuild.

Selecting Music For Slide Show

I have created a slideshow and want to add music in iphoto 6. I know I was able to select a specific song from itunes before but for some reason I can't now. It only gives me the titles like recently played, etc.
I have closed the programs and reopened itunes first as the help section suggested. I dragged some itunes .xml file to my desktop that didn't help. Any thoughts on how to fix this.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Using downloaded songs for slide show background music

Maybe I am naive, but I just joined iTunes and downloaded some music to use as background for slide shows of family pics. I am using Microsoft Plus! to put the slide shows together. The iTunes songs downloaded in MPEG-4 and the Plus! code will only recognize MP3. I am also concerned that the copyright protection will make the songs not useable for the slide show compilations. Any ideas? Thanks!

In iTUnes you can burn the song to CD then reimport it as a MP3. Goto edit>preferences>advanced tab>Import sub tab, and set it from "AAC" to "MP3" then hit OK
Now burn the songs to CD in itunes. Put the CD back in and hit the "Import" button in the top right corner of itunes

Touble adding music to slide shows

Having real trouble adding music to slide shows.
Files are MP3 where is says compresser decompressor (Codec) error
CD music files are not recognised
Have elements 8 but loaded a trial of elements 12 and same result
Can load music in premier as a project but not in photoshop / organiser
Cannot save project as a DVD which you can do in photoshop elements 8
Can anyone give advice - spent hours if not days trying things out.

Try the free Audacity software (Google it) and convert the .MP3 files to .WAV files. .WAV are uncompressed and most Adobe products can handle them natively without the need for external codecs.
Cheers,
Neale

Video adapter only works for slide shows.

We received the Apple video adapter today. It appears that it only works for slide shows? It might also work for Keynote, but we don't use that much and haven't installed on the iPad. For our purposes, we'd like to be able to display from other programs- Numbers, Pages, and a PDF reader. This seems counterintuitive to business use if the adaptor isn't fully functional. We are hoping that a software upgrade will make the adaptor functional.

The iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter can play content to a VGA display when using the following apps:
Videos
Photos—Slideshow playback only
YouTube
Keynote
Safari—Video content on webpages
Whether Apple will add additional support in the future is unknown, but you can indicate your interest to Apple via their feedback page:

Import subtitles for slide show

I have two slide shows, each with 50 slides. I would like to generate a text file with the subtitle definitions and import it, but apparently subtitles can only be imported for timelines. Why is that?
I have the names of the slides (the texts that should be displayed as subtitles) in an excel file and generated a text file out of it that has exactly the format needed for importing subtitles.
It would be rather time consuming to manually copy the names of the 100 slides out of the Excel sheet and insert them as a description for each slide.
Are there any technical reasons why importing subtitles for slide shows is not allowed?

Christian Kirchhoff

Hallo,
thanks again for the reply. In one case I really could do it, you are right there.
But there are slide shows, too, which do not proceed automatically but wait for the user to press the previous/next chapter buttons on the remote control. To realize the same behaviour in a timeline one had to set the end action for a chapter to "return to beginning of chapter". That works, kind of, but I found out that both with software DVD players on a computer and with regular DVD players the navigation (forward/backward) is very...irregular. Sometimes when you press the next chapter button it works, and sometimes not.
That's why I wanted to stick with the slide show instead of a timeline.
Regards,
Christian

Pdf for slide shows

When I create a slideshow in Photoshop Elements .pdf is my preferred file format to save the show.
One of the nice features of .pdf for slide shows is the 'fade out /fade in' transition between slides, which has been functioning on my laptop, even if slide changing was set to manual.
I recently downloaded Acrobat Reader for iPAD. Although slide changing was no problem the 'fade out /fade in' effect was gone. Is there any way I could get it back?

No transitions and multimedia on Adobe Reader for iOS.

Ken Burns for slide shows?

Why isn't there a Ken Burns affect for slide shows? This should have been in Lightroom 3!

You're right.

I pad can you take only pictures you want for slide show

On ipad can you only use pictures you want for slide show?What is delete on top of photo page?Did not delete picture I marked.Thank you

And as is often the case with Apple, there's more than one way to do it. Another way to accomplish this is to download a copy of MPEG Streamclip as relayed by longtime iMovie Discussion Group participantAppleMan1958
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15808352#15808352
First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
Open MPEG Streamclip.
In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.

I want manual duration for slide show - Remove music?

I have a slide show of six drop zones from iPhoto albums. I would like to have manual duration, but that choice is grayed out and not selectable. iDVD added the default music uninvited. I was able to set the volumes to minimum on both the title and slide shows but I think I need to get rid of the music completely to get the manual duration. But I can't seem to make that happen. Please help.

From the Help Menu in iDVD6:
Setting slideshows to advance manually
Slideshows in iDVD advance to the next slide automatically, with each picture remaining on the screen for 3 seconds. If your slideshow doesn't have a soundtrack, you can set it to advance manually. Viewers can then click the Next or Forward button on the DVD remote control to advance to the next slide at their own pace.
To set a slideshow to advance manually:
1. Double-click the button for your slideshow in the DVD menu to open the slideshow editor.
2. Choose Manual from the Slide Duration pop-up menu.
3. Click Settings and select "Display navigation arrows" if you want to display right and left arrows on the screen as a visual reminder to the viewer to click the Next button on the remote control to advance to the next slide.
4. When you are finished, click the Return button to exit the slideshow editor.

Works exactly the same way with photos shared from your iPhoto library (with the exception it reads "Library" as opposed to "Slideshow" when added to iDVD's entry Menu page).
Hope this helps but if not come on back.

Hi, I made a slide show with music from 81 photos I downloaded from my camera. I would like to burn these to a blank DVD, but there appears to be no utility for export to a DVD for slide shows. Help. I want to distribute DVD copies to classmates

Hi, I made a slide show with music from 81 photos I downloaded to iphoto from my camera. I would like to burn the slide show to DVD, but can't make this happen. How do I go about doing this?

If the DVD is to play on a DVD Player, then Share -> Send to iDVD as iDVD is the only app that creates the correct file structure and format for this purpose.
If the DVD is just to hold the file, then Export to the desktop and burn with the Finder.

Newbe requests help with audio for slide-show on Premiere Elements 4.

I recently wrote you regarding a problem I was having with a slide show I was making on Premiere Elements 4 importing photo clips and music from PhotoShop Elements 9. Thank you for your help.
This very large slide show, some 200 clips that I have not resized is completed. I am now having many problems with the music audio I am adding to various sequences of the slide show. Specifically:the audio will not stay fixed on the places where I put it and end it. Working on the Timeline Usually the length of the audio is shorter than the ending of the photo clips where it must go. I click on the audio and stretch it and end it at the place I designate. However, the other end has moved also so now I am left with a gap where there is no audio at the beginning of the segment. Now in addition, the "Delete and Close Gap" does not work most of the time causing me to manually move the photo tiles which sometimes move when this happens. I have to move each one or two individually to the left to close the gap and many times this causes loss of one or two photo tiles or they are out of order or have increase in number (of the one I am moving).
The program has also shut down for the past 10 days causing me to lose a good deal of work and sometimes photo clips and sometimes I get many duplicates of the photo clips. All I do is edit mostly the same two segments doing this over and over because I can't proceed to importing any more music because I can't get the first segments correct. I have chatted with you people, Sony techs, Microsoft Techs and Canon Techs. The Sony techs suggested the program was at fault and I used the original installation disk and repaired the program. It has still shut down on me but not as much.
I got error messages on the photo-cap instructions page you suggessted otherwise I would show pictures of the above problems.
I tried to copy and/or cut and paste from the Timeline thinking I would start a new slide show in PhotoShop Elements 9 using the same photos in reverse. The program would not let me copy or paste. There is great difficulty in highlighting the photo tiles in Timeline because I have to shift click on each individual tile and there are too many tiles and it would take too long to get a whole segment copied. Maybe you know another way to do this?
I am at a stand-still now and I am quite despondent because I have been working on this slide-show for 3 months and it was a surprise for my daughter's 25th anniversary that was last Tuesday.
I do hope you have some good suggestions that will lelt me complete this Project and get it on a disk. I am not that technical so please be specific.
Thanks in advance.
Kathy

Here's the basic advice I'd give, based on my experience. Much depends, though, on your goals and the specifics of your computer system:
1) Resize all of your photos to no larger than 1000x750 pixels in size. This is VITAL if you want the program to maintain stability as you work. Also render often (by pressing the Enter key). When the render, the red lines above the clips on your timeline will turn green and the program will run much more efficiently.
2) Work on your large slideshow project in shorter segments. You've got over 15 minutes worth of slides. Try working on this slideshow in 5 minute segments, output each segment and then combined the finished videos.
3) Use only WAV audio as your music and audio for your slideshow.
4) When you add video, audio or stills to a parallel track on your timeline, hold down the Ctrl key to override the ripple function and your current clips will remain in place.
5) Maintain your computer by using a tool like the excellent, free, one-click Advanced System Care available at http://www.iobit.com/advancedsystemcareper.html
As for Delete and Close Gap, how it performs depends on whether you've selected Clear or Delete, whether you've pressed the Backspace key or the Delete key and if there is video or audio on a parallel track. (This is all covered in my books, by the way, if you're interested.)
Without knowing the specifics of your project and your situation, it's hard to give out more specific information -- but this advice should get you a long way toward completing your project!

Need Help Adding Music to Slide Show - PS Elements 11

I am using PS Elements 11 to create a slide show. The photos and transitions are complete. But when I try to add music in an mp3 format, the songs are there but the text for the songs does not appear in the bar below the photos in the slide show review mode. All I can see is a fuzzy gray line. I need to see the text for the songs so I can trim and reorder the songs. I have tried to create a new slide show with new music but the music area is also fuzzy. Texts appeared one time but no longer. Please help! Need for Wed.!!!!

Welcome to the forum.
As Mylenium points out, this is not the Photoshop Elements Forum.
I will Move your post to the PSElements Forum, where you will get the answers to your question.
Good luck,
Hunt
