Obtaining smooth transitions in iPhoto'09

I am preparing a slideshow in iPhoto'09 and have put the images in sequence at the top of the 'play' window.
I then adjusted the settings to give a slow dissolve on all slides. However whilst the majority of dissolves work smoothly several, four, jump quickly to the next slide. I have clicked 'Fit the slideshow to the music'.
Any thoughts on why some slides don't dissolve slowly? This didn't happen with my previous show in iPhoto'08.

The 'jumpy' ones are the same format and size as the others. There are four 'jumps' out of a total of 20 image changes. The sequence starts and ends with smooth dissolves. I have 32 Gb available on the hard drive. I wonder if the four 'jumps' could be on images that I imported after the first batch had their settings applied? In that case how do I apply settings to the total images? In the settings menu I have clicked 'Fit slideshow to music' and ticked Transition 'Dissolve' on the 'All Slides' menu.

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.

Need smoother transitions between .swf's

I have a website I am doing that has a flash intro with
music. I then have the site itself which is also designed in flash.
These 2 swf files sit on 2 different .html pages with an action
that tells one frame to go to the next "page".
My client whats it to be a smoother transition, almost like
its going within the same .swf fles. I tried to save the flash .fla
and just importat and try to figure it out how to import the
intro.swf file into my main flash site and to just add it at the
beginning. Bu this didn't work either...

Try using a fade-in or a fade-out
located in transitions
between the pics
play with the timing of the fade
this helps between all pics
but adds alot of time to the movie.

Handling Smooth Transitions in SAP Lumira Chart Extensions

I assume render is the function that does all the drawing logic for a specific Chart Type in VIZ Packer Utility. How do we handle any updates to the Data and do a smooth transition from the initialized State of the Chart to a final State as defined by Data.
Currently I see render function as to Initialize SVG and implement some code that would display the Chart with initial Data.
-- When the Data gets updated - I don't want to call render function which initializes my SVG again
Is there a different function that makes use of the SVG that was initialized in render function and then apply updates to it that would create a smooth transition from Initial to Final State.

Hi,
I believe your question has been answered in your duplicate post here: http://scn.sap.com/community/lumira/blog/2014/06/28/cool-chart-extensions-demonstrated-at-lumira-codejam-vancouver#comment-502992
In summary, You need to use VizPacker to package the extensions, then deploy those extensions to C:\Program Files\SAP Lumira\Desktop\extensions\ . this process is covered in detail in the supporting documentation SAP Lumira SDK (Chart extensions). See here: http://help.sap.com/lumira#section4

Smooth transitions betwen audio

im ptreety new to the FCP world and am having trouble getting a smooth transition between two bits of audio (first bit is in sync with person on camera - second bit is voice over with other video) they are supposed to sound as though they were recorded at the same time (ie the guy you see talking at first is just continuing to talk over the other picture) but they weren't... the second section of audio was recorded at a different time so the level is a little different and the background hiss is different - and that's the biggest problem... when you hear that sound of nothing change its really easy to spot the cut in the audio... how can i smooth out this cut without having 'atmos' recorded at the locations when they were shooting?
can i dissolve the two bits of audio or something?
help! this is driving me crazy!

Get a third track of room tone sound put it under both clips to start. Yes, you can do audio dissolves. Slect the edit point on the clips and hit Command OptionT to add a dissolve. Also, you probably want to look into the audio filters for some EQ, etc. This is the basic way to get started. You might not be able to "cure" the problem, but you should be able to get it to sound a lot better.

Preset imports and "smooth" transitions

Good Morning!
I have 2 things that i needed help on:
1) I always struggle with each update of Premier. I always lose my presets (effects) that are both in "My presets" and My favorites. I don't know why these don't transport with the update, but they are gone again. I did take the time to export my old presets in 8.0, but now in 9.0 I don't see where it gives me the option tyo import anymore? Can someone help?
2) Once I either get my back my presets or create new ones, I struggle wit that perfect transition. Anotherwords, I always seem to drag a prest to my picture and then when it plays, the frame is frozen for a split second, then effect executes, then effect stops. I always have to go in and edit the effect and drag the "button" for rotation or scale to either end of the frame to get my smoothness? So ..
- Is there a way to create a preset and have it know I want the scale or rotation to start at the very beginning and end at the very end?
- And is ther a "best way" to create the movie. Like do I add transitions first and then drag presets, or drag presets and then add transition. It seems if I do either or, my prest gets truncated in the image.
Thanks for any help!!

For the "smooth Transitions," one must set the In & Out Points of the Clips, so that there are adequate Handles, to allow for the Transitions. If one does not have adequate Handles, one of two things will happen, depending on the structure of the Clip:
If there are no more Frames, then the last one will be repeated, as a Freeze Frame.
If there are Frames, but they are in the next "scene," then material that was believed to be removed, will appear in the Transitions.
This ARTICLE will explain Handles in detail. The secret is to move the In and/or Out Point, to allow for adequate Handles.
Good luck,

BEGINNER: Best Framerate for smooth transitions

My animation is jagged in movement.
What would be the best framerate for a smoother transition?
Right now I'm using the default 12FPS
Should I make it higher or lower and if so, by how much?
This is the animation:
http://www.tarilynquinn.com/site/SE_INDEX.html
Help would be much appreciated.

Higher framerates do make for smoother animations -- up to a point. Depending upon how many things you have going on and the computer in use a really high frame rate can cause some machines to choke and then it will look worse than a lower frame rate.
I recommend getting a rate that you work at and that you tailor all your designs to meet work at that rate. That way if you need to combine assets later they will be compatible. And you will have a feeling for the rate.
At work we are now doing everything at 24 and at home I use a 30. I think both of those are pretty reasonable and that most machines these days will be able to handle those rates.
Of course there are always times when for a very specific reason I might use a different rate, but I only do that knowingly and not just because, "eh, seems like a good idea."

How do I do smooth transitions between clips?

After trimming clips, what type of effects do I need to use for smoother transitions? I tried several types of video transitions, for example Crossover Dissolve between the clips. But I want to show as if I never did any cuts or clippings even though I have done it. Did I make this clear?

You may want to ask yourself, "Why do I want to use a transition?"
As you think about this question watch any network TV program and look for the transitions. You will generally find very few transitions in a professional video. Those you do find will generally be dips to black rather than cross-dissolves. You will generally find cross-disolves being used only where the editor wanted to give a sense of time changing.
This s a situation in which less is more. I believe that a 1 sec cross-dissolve draws more attention to itself than would a 0 second cut.

I made a slide show with music and random transitions in iPhoto. I can't burn it to a DVD. The burn button in iPhoto is not highlighted, and when I exported the slide show to iDVD, it lost the random transistions, and the disk won't play in DVD player.

Two problems: 1. My iphoto slide show loses its random transitions when I export it to iDVD.
2. When I then burn it to a disk, the disk will not play in a DVD player, but only on my MAC.
Any ideas?

The random transitions can only be random when played in iPhoto.
If you are in the slideshow mode and use the Share ➙ iDVD menu option a quictime movie will be created of the slideshow with the first random set of transitions and imported into iDVD. The transitions, however, will be fixed permanently and will not be changed again.
There is no way to get any sort of random behavior in an iDVD. When it's burned to disk it's locked permanently.

Help with Flash smooth transitions

Can someone please tell me how I can make a Flash movie like
this one
here
where it transitions smoothly from one image to another.
I have been using Flash for a while at a basic level, but my
attempts at such movies always seem to be jerky. When I create them
I use a simple motion tween using fade in and out with Alpha
between the images as that's what I have read in tutorials to
create these. I have also tried increasing the frame rate as I read
that could help, but it still doesn't look right. I have put a copy
of my latest attempt
here and you can see
it's juddery between transactions, and I don't even really want the
fade effect, I just want it to transition smoothly between images
as in the Broadmoor example above.
Do I have to use Actionscript to make a more professional
movie like the one linked to? If so, I have never used Actionscript
before so would appreciate if someone can point me to a tutorial
etc.
Thanks a lot in advance for any help or suggestions.

Are you fading the second image in as the first image is
fading out? If so try layering all of the images in the order you
want and fade just the top image out so the one underneath appears.
If you want to have it loop just have the very first image appear
again as the last image and then use actiomscript to jump back to a
frame where the same image is fully loaded at the beginning... I
hope this makes sense. If not please let me know and I can try to
explain a little better.

Transitioning from iPhoto 6 to Aperture on new iMac

Please redirect me if there is somewhere this has been asked, or if there would be a better resource for me. I guess I have several issues here. We have a 2006 iMac with about 12,000 photos stored in iPhoto 6. I am a serious hobbyist, and want to transition to Aperture (at least I think I do, I suppose I am also considering LR3). We have a new iMac on the way, and I want to get some advice on how to best move everything over and set everything up before it gets here. So, here are my questions:
We tried to import everything into Aperture on our current iMac, and could not do an import due to our version of iPhoto being too old. I am wondering if this is going to be a problem with our new iMac as well- in other words, will we have to import everything into a new version of iPhoto, then into Aperture?
Also, our photos have keywords, but the rest of our organizational structure I can do without. We have been importing into iPhoto and naming each import with the date- unless we have forgotten, in which case it is just "Roll whatever". And these folders are organized by year in the IPhoto Originals folder. I am open to any kind of organizational structure or workflow idea, but I would like to "clean up" our current mess of photos and get everything to be consistent. How can I do this? Should I export and then import, or is this process going to be easier than I expect it will be? How would it be best to get the photos from one computer (iPhoto) into Aperture on a new computer? Use of an external drive, export then import, etc?
Finally, I am not sure how to decide if I should use a referenced library and store all of my photos on an external drive, or to actually put everything into Aperture. Any advice?
Again, sorry if these are repetitive questions. Any advice or help would be much appreciated.

The version on your new Mac won't import the v6 iPhoto Library either.
But the new Mac will have a later version if iPhoto on it, so upgrade the v6 Library with that (just open it with the new version) and then migrate that to Aperture. As always - make sure you have a back up.
Rename the Rolls before doing anything else. Any Rolls not renamed will be split into (possibly) multiple Events on upgrading. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable.
IPhoto 6 has no way to export keywords with the files, so if you go that way, or import directly from the Originals folder you will lose your keywords.
With 12k files a Managed Aperture Library is easy, and you can change later should you need to.

Plymouth and SDDM smooth transition

Hello guys
I switched my desktop environment and desktop manager to Plasma 5 and SDDM recently. It looks totaly beautiful. While changing my DE and DM I've decied to use Plymouth to complete my new awesome looking desktop . It works very well with paw-arch and my custom written theme. However, I could not find a way to make transition from Plymouth to SDDM smoother.
When Plymouth quits SDDM starts but in the time gap between two processes I'm facing with TTY1 and kernel outputs.
Do you have an idea about wheter there is a way to make this transition smoother?
Thanks for any help

How to have no effects/transitions in iPhoto 11

I'm trying to create a slideshow without transitions, effects, music, etc in iPhoto 11. I can stop the music, eventually (unclick Play Music During Slideshow. Have selected Transistions: None. It seems to be Themes is the problem.
How can I get Themes = None (like iMovie)? Is there one to select or import?
You may think this is strange, but I want photos & videos to be just that. No more and no less.

Choose the Classic theme.

Flip Transition in IPhoto Blacks out

when i put random transitions and convert the photos into a slide show, all of the "flip" transitions black out just prior to the the next photo. how can i fix that. I just purchased and reinstalled the ILife '06 thinking this would fix it, but it hasn't.

WuD:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions. If that doesn't help, download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto application with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the applicaion or just drag the application into that field.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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.

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!!
