No export of slideshow

I've been using the demo of Lightroom 1.0 (and have ordered it) and have a database of about 16,000 RAW files. I narrowed down a set of 12,000 images from India to 370 and wanted to export a slide show to show an editor for a magazine piece. But nothing ever happens. It goes through the dialog boxes for exporting a slide show, but nothing ever appears on the hard drive. Is this a demo thing? Or is there a bug? Same problem on my dual 2Ghz G5 PowerMac at home (10.4.8, 3.4 gigs RAM, X800 XT graphics card) and a Mac Pro at work (10.4.8, X1900 graphics card, 5 gigs RAM).
Any ideas why Lightroom never actually writes out a slide show? It does web pages just fine with the same files.

Hi Eric
Just got my problem with exporting slideshow solved. I phoned tecnical support and an expert there solved it . Maybe it will work for You too. Quit Lightroom- go to User Library / Preferences / Com.adobe.Lightroom.p.list and delete it. Now it works for me. hope it works for You too

How can I export a slideshow from iPhoto to iMovie 09. I try but it only lets me import 211 out of the 311 photos I have in the slideshow.

How can I export a slideshow from iPhoto to iMovie 09. I try, but it only exports 211 out of the 311 photos I have in the slideshow I made on iPhoto.

how do i change the format to the right one?
Before you can decide what to do, you have to know what you are starting with. Sony MPEG-1 files would be converted one way while DivX or WMV files would likely be handled in another. Extraneous tracks can be removed directly with QT Pro but if you don't have QT Pro then there may or may not be other work around possibilities depending on the specific audio and video compression formats in use. The best place to start would normally be to double-clic the source file in iPhoto to open it in the QT Player. When it opens in the QT Player, check the "Inspector" window to see what it says on the "Format:" lines. This will tell you the type of audio and video content you are dealing with here. Then come and tell us so we can offer some specific conversion solutions.

How can I export a slideshow as Quicktime video in iPhoto 9.5.1?

I want to export a slideshow I created in iPhoto 9.5.1 as a Quicktime video, but neither File > Export nor the Export button at the bottom give me a Custom Export option. I believe this was an option in older versions of iPhoto. Thanks in advance!

iPhoto 9.5.1 no longer can export as a QuickTime movie.
You will have to convert the exported video file to add a QuickTime wrapper. Try to save a QuickTime movie from QuickTime 7. (download here: QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later.)

Why Won't iPhoto Export My Slideshow?

I import photos to iPhoto from my Canon Rebel. They were taken as RAW. I create a folder and name it within iPhoto. I place 50 images and order them the way I want. I then "Select All" the 50 photos in the folder just to play it safe. I click the Plus button and choose Slideshow. I go through all the steps, selecting the theme, selecting the Apple canned music (so that there won't be a copyright issue), I set my settings... Show Title, play music through slideshow, etc. I then click the Preview button. It works fine! I then tap the Play button. My slideshow fills the screen and does as I have asked it to. I then make sure that my slideshow is selected in the left column (it has not been unselected since I started this maneuver) and I click the Export button at the bottom of the window. HERE IS WHERE, AS I SAID BEFORE, EXPORT DOES NOT WORK.... A dialog box comes up: "Export your slideshow Choose a format based on where you will view your slideshows;___Format:" (I have chosen all three choices many, many times trying to get beyond this point.) "Automatically send slideshow to iTunes" has been selected, BTW. I then hit the export button and the navigator dialog box opens and I choose my folder called iPhoto Slideshows. I click OK. At this point the export progress dialog box opens and sits there... the thumbnail rectangle remains BLACK. The progress bar never changes from its standard GREY. The only text on the export slideshow dialog box remains the same and says: "Exporting Slideshow ..." Fearing there was a hiccup somewhere, I have left this window open and able to work OVERNIGHT, just in case. Nothing. I have tried all three formats. I have changed the destination folder. Nothing.
I have had this problem for months. Have asked this forum for help. I have been told nothing is wrong with iPhoto.
So here's my new question: "What am I suppose to do about this problem that I have explained above?"
I would say my copy of iPhoto is corrupt, if there is nothing wrong with iPhoto in general. Is this a possibility? In which case.... How do I get another iPhoto app without having to pay for it?
Or do you have some other reason this process is not working on my Mac Pro with OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)?
This is the fifth time I have had to export all my photos to my laptop and use Snow Leopard with iPhoto 9.2.3 in order to finish my projects.
Please help with these EXPORT FAILURE questions.
Thank you, very much.

Is it possible to export a slideshow in 1080p format and then show it on a projection TV in 1080? if so, how - what conversions are necessaryw on a projection TV, if so how

is it possible to export a slideshow in 1080p format and then show it on a projection TV in 1080? if so, how - what conversions are necessary

Getting it out of Aperture is not a problem. When you export the slide show select 1080p as the export format.
What happens then gets tricky. To create a true high def 1080p DVD requires Blu-Ray. So you will need an external Blu-Ray recoreder and software to create the DVD.
If you're hooking your computer up to the TV then you'll have better luck.

Why does the highest quality ('Display') resolution vary from exporting one slideshow to the next?

When exporting a slideshow from iPhoto I'm selecting the highest quality (Display). I noticed that resolution setting (Display) varies depending on which slide show I want to export (i.e. 1000 x 800, or 1420 x 800). Why?

Urgent advice needed for exporting a slideshow in iPhoto '09

hi,
what is the best setting for exporting a slideshow from iPhoto '09?
I'll be burning it with iDVD and it will be watched on a large flat screen TV.
I WAS GOING TO USE THE .MOV option with the default settings but should I use the DV settings?
I've only got time to try it once.
thanks

Honestly there is no answer for that until you do it. A mov will work perfectly fine. But there are variables: The quality and sharpness of the original photos. How they survive being compressed to a mov, how that mov survives being compressed to DVD format. The quality of the DVD player (and no, they are not all the same) and finally the crispness of the screen. If all goes well, yes it will look perfectly good. But you're not going to know until you do it.

What is the best way to export a slideshow .I like to show my slideshows via appleTV on my TV

What is the best way to export a slideshow.I like to view the show trough AppleTV on my television.

You don't really give us a lot of information to work with, and assume we know something about this mdeia player. The only way to get the slideshow to a media player is to export it from iPhoto. To where? Depends on the media player. Will iTunes work? Depends on the media player. Does the media player have a DVD drive? If so, then burning it to DVD with iDVD will work, but it will be standard def not HD.

I cannot export a slideshow at 24fps from Aperture 3?

I import clips to Aperture 3 filmed at 24fps on a Canon EOS 60D and when I try to use the custom settings to export at 24fps, it changes it to 30-35fps. The custom settings are useless in Aperture 3 as it still does whatever it wants. The only way I can export anything properly is to film at 30fps and export on the standard 720p or 1080p HD settings (which automatically selects 30fps).
Is it simply impossible to export a slideshow with HD dSLR motion in it at 24fps even if all clips are filmed at 24fps? I need a definitive answer on this. Please.

I can't give you a definitive answer, but I don't think you can do it. Aperture is not a video editing or motion graphics program. A3 is the first version of the application to support video import or slide show output. It targets specific devices and only has two codecs.
AFAIK the 7D was the first DSLR- and the first camera under $3K- to offer 24p. Before 2010, only pro videographers shot 24fps
IMHO A3 is the wrong tool for the job, and you should be using video editing program Like Final Cut or a motion graphics program like Motion or After Effects.
The good news is that Motion 5 is only $50 on the app store. Previously, it was only available as part of the Final Cut Suite, but I can't find anything that says one has to have Final Cut X to buy or use it. (System requirements are pretty steep.)

I cannot export a slideshow from Iphoto to iTunes

I am trying to export a slideshow from iphoto to itunes so that I can burn it to a dvd. The automatically sent to itunes is checked but the export button is not highlighted.

You are asking about a slideshow in iPhoto on your Mac, right? Then the iLife > iPhoto forum would have been the right one to ask your question. This forum is for iPhoto on IOS devices.
The automatically sent to itunes is checked but the export button is not highlighted.
The "Export" button will become active, when you select a size for your exported movie. Press one of the sizes , for example "Large", if you want to view the movie on your iPad or Apple TV.

IPhoto won't export my slideshow? I get the message (OSStatus error - 108)

I try to export my slideshow created from a photobook on 80 pages in iPhoto. I think I have tried everything and different formats. I get the message (OSStatus error - 108) no matter what I try. It's a photobook made for my sons 18 years birthday and my plan was to show it to the party this friday.
So it's a little confusing!
What to do?

Using iPhoto 9.6/Yosemite can not export a slideshow, either to my desktop or to iTunes.

Using Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6 I can not get it to export a slideshow. I have tried to export to a file, and to ITunes. It looks like it is working but the file transfer graph appears then goes away immediately as if something is blocking the action. I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this problem, or if there is something I am doing wrong.

Poor photo quality when exporting iPhoto slideshow

Does anyone know which setting produces the best quality for an mp4 when creating a DVD using iDVD? I put a slideshow together using iPhoto because I wanted to use the iPhoto scrapbook theme. I exported the iPhoto slideshow using the highest quality (standard display setting) which produces an mp4 1422 x 800 (H.264, 30 fps, 7 Mbps, ~907 MB).
The iDVD project settings are:
1) Best Performance
2) High Quality
3) Professional Quality
What doesn't make sense to me is that #1 claims to produce a total ~1GB DVD with a 995 MB movie and shows the Quality level as green.
When selecting #2, the claim is a total ~643 DVD with a 575 MB movie with Quality in the red.
When choosing #3, the numbers stay the same as #2 but the Quality goes to yellow.
Why wouldn't the higher quality settings produce a larger DVD with less compression? Which setting really gives the highest quality?
The default is #1 (Best Performance) which clearly produces the lowest quality video when compared to the mp4 export from iPhoto (appeared with a higher quality) and when compared with playing the slideshow directly in iPhoto (appeared with the highest quality).
Would the quality be any higher if I export the iPhoto slideshow using a customized setting? iPhoto custom settings allow the choice of about 10 different compression types from Animation, Apple Intermediate Codec, to DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, to H.264, to MPEG-4 Video, to None (and others not listed here). The frame Rate can also be adjusted from Current (whatever that means), to 8, to 60. The Compressor Quality can be adjusted from Least to Best. Would "None" as the compression type produce the best quality when producing the iDVD?
The ultimate goal is to display the slideshow on the project at my church. The easiest way to do this is to put it on a DVD. But as described above, the quality decrease from iPhoto direct play of the slideshow is noticeable when moving to the .mp4 and extremely noticeable when putting the .mp4 in iDVD and playing the DVD back.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or links to better documentation.

you just cannot export your slideshows in order to burn DVDs, with the same quality
That's an issue with iDVD and the DVD standards. All DVD media is downsized to 640 x 480 or the wide screen 720 x 480. It's the nature of DVDs, not iPhoto. If you use the Ken Burns effect in iPhoto you will need to use the largest 4:3 ratio images possible so the zoom and scan of the KB effect is working on the most number of pixels possible.
I've found that the best final image resolution is obtained by creating the slideshow in iDVD from stills imported from iPhoto at the 4:3 size ratio. The downside to that method is no KB effect and only one transition per slideshow. I play those types of slideshows on a 50" 1020p HD Panasonic plasma TV and the images are quite good. But good is in the eye of the beholder.
See Jim Symon's post in this iDVD topic: Re: High-definition DVDs. Also search his other posts as he was working out a workflow using Photo to Movie to create high def movies and burn them with iDVD. As I recall he found and posted his workflow at one time.

Exporting Large Slideshow Help!!

I'm having a bit of trouble exporting a slideshow of 515 pictures. I'm aware that is a lot of photos but I can't find ay specifics as far as the limitations of the software goes. I've searched the web high and low and could not find anything that states a limit of how many photos I can have in a slideshow. I'm using the scrapbook theme without music, and attempted to export it at a high resolution. The exporting process took a looooong time as I knew it would, however 3/4 of the way through, the export bar stopped moving completely and the preview for the slideshow stopped as well. I attempted a second time after waiting a few hours to export it, and it again failed to complete. Here's my thing, I'm trying to get this slideshow, bring it into to iMovie so I can add music (because iPhoto won't let me choose specific parts of the songs I want to play) and then bring it into iDVD to burn and watch it on a widescreen or standard TV. Have I surpassed the limitations of the software?? What would be my best option to accomplish this??

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you plan on taking the slideshow into iDVD to burn to disc then exporting at HD is a waste of time and effort. iDVD reduces all content to:
720 x 540 pixels for standard video in NTSC format
854 x 480 pixels for widescreen in NTSC format 640 x480
Thus crop the photos to the size you want and try again as standard or widescreen.
It's been my experience that creating the slideshow in iDVD gives me the best onscreen image resolution.
The downside to this method is that you can't have the Ken Burns effect (not problem for me as I don't use it), can have only one transition per slideshow and no unique themes.
The upside is that the music plays as it should whereas iPhoto has problems with too much dead air between tracks and early termination at the end of the music.
You might consider creating the slideshow in iMovie or a 3rd party application like Photo to Movie or PhotoMagico. PhotoPresenter is another 3rd party slide show application and offers over 25 animated themes, some of which are shown on this demo page: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes. It has the Ken Burns effect but it is applied to all photos the same way with no user control.
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 versions) 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

No export of slideshow
