OT: DVD Slide Show - How to do still-frames?

I want to make DVDs containing my photos, so that I can inflict them on
family members and other unfortunates. I have not yet been able to discern
if any of the commercial packages allow for the creation of still-frame
shows - if that is the correct term to describe what I want.
I have commercial DVDs which, as extra content, contain documentary
collections of still images. These groups of images appear to be
single-frame images, and do not automatically advance -- they require the
user to press the Skip button to see the next image.
THAT's what I want to do... have the slideshow require a manual advance, so
that each photo could be viewed for as long (or short!) as desired, before
moving on to the next.
Of course, I would also want to create traditional "moving" slideshows as
well, when desired.
Can anyone advise with regard to this quest?
TIA,
Byron

Byron,
To the best of my knowledge, Photoshop Elements will not allow you to create DVDs of any sort - let alone whether it is possible to manually advance your way through a collection of stills.
PSE's primary purpose is as an image editor and since version 3 as an image organiser. Sure it has a few bells and whistles that allow you to present your images in a vareity of ways, but it is not strong in this area. Maybe that is why there isn't a great response to your orginal post.
I do know that Adobe Premier Elements allows you to create DVDs and once installed, there is an option on the file menu in organiser that allows you to send images direclty to PrEl.
Once again however, I would advise caution. Premier Elements is a cut down video editing suite, so it might be overkill for your needs and have a steeep learning curve!
Many people have mentioned a product called Proshow Gold in here. I don't use it and so cannot comment personally, but plenty of people like it and if I recall correctly, you will be able to create DVDs.
Best of luck
Mark

Encrypting slides on dvd slide show

Hi - I'm making dvd slide shows of my photography and need to know how to make it so people can't pull the photos off the dvd.. also how to protect the dvd from being copies. Does anyone know how to do this?
thanks

spec,
sorry in advance for the folllowing tech-bla-bla....
... I'm selling these to clients and can't really sell them marked up photos...
ehm, you're posting in iDVD; iDVD is an encoding, authoring and burning app to create videoDVD, meaning: video, displaying on TV =>interlaced, 640x480, wacky NTSC (apologizes to US citizens...)…
selling PHOTOS that way??
a videoDVD from a photographer as "the map", a portfolio... sure! impressive music, sleezy transitions to some acid-jazz… all that understood & often seen... but SELLING in means of transport this way?
no way.
using tools as Toast allows to you create a video and a data partition on one single dvd-r; you could even "password protect" such a data section (not with Toast, other workflow...)...
soooo.....
stamp a FAT and glowing "this photo belongs to spectorphotography" ... ok, somethin' shorter... and forget the glow.... on every pic in SLIDESHOW; but, please, sell a HiRes version to your clients, ... besides: how shall they "grab" the pics from videoDVD? as screen-grabs??
make watermarks
create a data partition...
sorry for ranting <breathless> ;-))))
hopefully still helpful....?

Sound cuts out on DVD slide shows with music

I have tried 5 DVD slide show programs with the same result. Hewlett Packard says my hardware is OK but I have a compatability problem. My wife has the same compaint. Can you help with my computer?

Before doing anything with the computer in question, backup all the music files in question to either a flash drive or CD. Try that music, etc on an independent computer, either friend's or at a library to see if the files are good and do not exhibit the problems that are being observed on the computer in question. If they play OK elsewhere, then try the "Recovery Partition Manager" to return the computer to "like from the factory". With all the software experimenting, it could be a problem between the different software installs. Once the computer is "like from the factory" again, then try to play the music that was backed up on the "factory fresh" installation without any other software installs. Report back on how that goes.

DVD Slide shows only auto-cycle 100 slides; then aborts. What's the fix??

I burned 2800 jpeg Photos from my IMac onto a DVD using iDVD and set it up for auto-play, so that the 2800-frame slide show would autostart running and advance to a new photo every 3 seconds as soon as loaded into the DVD player in our TV room.
On my Panasonic DVD player, however, I can only view the first 100 or so slides automatically before the show aborts and the player defaults back to its home screen as if it had completed the slide show.
Why will my DVD player only show the first 100 of 2800 slides on the DVD before quitting ? Is it a limitation of the DVD player hardware or software or have I misconfigured iDVD ?
If I want to view all 2800 slides on the DVD, I can do so only by holding down the forward and reverse buttons on the player's remote control to jump forward or backward to the next or previous slides. Only then will it display beyond the first 100 or so slides and run to the end. In auto advance mode, it chokes after the first 100 frames and quits on me.
As long as I manually advance to the next frame, I am fine...but the player-DVD combination will only auto-advance the first 100 before the player hardware/software crashes.
Any ideas how to fix ????

Thanks. This is very clumsy to work around but maybe the just released Toast 8 has a workaround that iDvd does not. Trick is I guess to get 28 tracks onto a single DVD - each with 99 (slides) chapters. Is this doable ??
Surely there is a simple way to copy 2800 files - maybe just a simple file copy, onto a blank CD or DVD and have a CD/DVD player`read them and auto advance.
This is very frustrating because these sophisticated software programs are good at doing fancy things with movies but can't produce a simple slide show with more than 99 frames.
Michael,
The basic problem is iDVD treats slides in a
slideshow as chapters and a DVD track is limited to
99 chapters per track. Prior to iDVD 6, slideshows
were limited to 99 slides. iDVD 6 added a 'fix' to
allow several such slideshow tracks to be linked
together. HOWEVER, not all DVD players (as you have
found) want to recognize the linking and will quit
(or drop the audio) after the 99th slide.
Any ideas how to fix ????
There is nothing you can do in iDVD to change this.
There are some DVD players that will play through
all he images - you can take you DVD to a 'big-box'
store with a lot of DVD players on display and see
if you can find a player that will play all the
slides.
OR
You can create your slideshow as a movie in iMove,
although your 2800 slides at 3 seconds per slide
would create a movie that is 140 minutes long, and
this exceeds the 120 minute limit of what can be put
on a single layer DVD with iDVD.

When I create a DVD slide show, the images on TV are 4:3 instead of 16:9. Fix? (Using version 11.)

When I create a DVD slide show, the images on TV are 4:3 instead of 16:9. Fix? (Using version 11.)

Hi Christina,
I used it because other facets of my work in graphics require conversion, not just FCP, so I am used to popping it open quickly using it on the fly, in the field when shooting. I back up, then convert typically on my laptop while it sits on the seat of my pickup while I am photographing the next portion of the training. I do have the files backed up (in ordered structure as shot and preserved on the cards) both on my laptop, also mirrored in the RAID and once again on a second external firewire LaCie and make sure that every little file is in there as it should be. Thanks for the info. on that though, appreciate it. Will probably switch to using FCP to that level of Log and Capture in the future because it seems more basic. I am not sure using L&C would make any difference on the problem I seem to be having here. I will create a small sample file and give it a try for future reference. Again, thank you.
Up until this week the Quicktime conversions I have been creating and composing from have been compressed in H.264 (720 X 480 to fit our LMS stage), and have been working well without a hitch. And 8 of the 11 of these sequences are still exported to a true 16:9 without a hitch. They are sharp, bright and the color is great. The three orphans are also sharp with good color, however squished from side to side. It simply makes no sense that data that has been saved identically, edited identically and exported with identical settings would change in mid-stream like that.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I do appreciate that very much.

Photo Quality Difference - DVD Slide Show vs iMovie

I have seen a marked difference in quality of photos in iDVD slide shows vs photos I've incorporated in iMovie. The iMovie rendered photos are very high resolution and fill the screen, whereas photos rendered as a slide show in iDVD are of poor resolution and don't fill the screen.
Any thoughts?
Gil

All iDVD produced videos are 'Standard Definition' - that is 640 pixels wide and 480 pixels high (give or take). Therefore, all of your megapixels are being reduced to 0.3 megapixels on the screen. There is nothing you can do about this - SD video is this size. The only thing you can do is make sure the necessary 'downscaling' is done as well as possible. For my still picture presentations on DVD, I use a program called 'Photo to Movie' (LQ Graphics), along with iDVD. It seems to do a better job of the downscaling process, along with having some neat features not in iMovie. I have produced many 'slideshows' that are certainly not HD, but are pleasing to view on an HD TV (pillarboxed). Others use 'Fotomagico' for the same purpose, but I have no experience with that program. HTH.

Burning a DVD slide show on Premiere Elements 8.0

I am trying to burn a slide show on Premiere Elements 8, but when I try to save the slide show before burning my computer crashes. I've got Windows 7. My understanding is that Premiere Elements 7 and Photoshop Elements 7 do not work with Windows 7. I had both of those programs, and got Premiere and Elements 8 to remedy the problem to no avail. My computer still won't save the slide show. Any hints? Thanks.

As per my understanding, you created a slideshow in PSE organizer and now want to burn into DVD using Output dialog which launches PRE...
Which application crashes and at which step??

Spry Slide Show-how to use one size photo for large photo and thumbnail?

Hi all,
I'm am using Adobe's Spry Slide Show. I can only use one size photo 640x480px for both the large photo and the thumbnail.
I changed the size of the small thumnail on the html:
                 <li><a href="Photos/TestPhoto640x480.jpg" width="490" height="367"><img src="Photos/TestPhoto640x480.jpg" width="63" height="47" alt="photos-1.jpg" /></a></li>
The thumbnail looks fine until you hit Live View or Preview in Browser then photo comes in full size and you can only see the upper left hand corner.
I assume that the java is doing this. But I have no training in Java.
How can I change the Java Code so the thumbnail comes in at 63x47px?
Many thanks.

Wish I could use scaled down versions of the thumbnails-but I can't.
Why not?
    img.src = info.src;
    img.style.width = "490px";
    img.style.height = "368px";
You're shooting yourself in the foot with this. It's overriding your HTML and CSS values.
As an FYI, Adobe Abandoned the Spry framework late last year.

Slide show - how to fill page

Hi guys, please may someone explain to me how I fill a page and browser with a slide show? Can I edit the pre-set ones in Muse already available or do I have to create one in Edge Animate please? I am wanting to literally have an image cover the entire screen regardless of what system you are using to open the site. I am working on a 27" Mac monitor so it's hard to judge thanks.
Can you give me dimensions and how I can do this. Ever so grateful, as always!
Regards,
Robyn

Thank you.
2nd questions - same topic... How do I change the path to retrieve my images - please note that I don't understand code that well thanks. I have tried uploading to dropbox and doing similar code by retrieving the link but it doesn't worl - probably because I haven't a clue lol. I am wanting to upload images from the downloads folder and within that I have a folder named cleaning images which contain images I want to use. Thanks
So I'm using this code from that forum:
. Download the js file https://raw.github.com/srobbin/jquery-backstretch/master/jquery.backst retch.min.js
2. In Muse: Go to File -> Add Files for Upload and add the script file
3. Open Page Properties -> Metadata -> HTML for <Head>
Paste this code in:
<script>
window.onload = function() {
var loaded = function() {
$.backstretch([
      "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/515046/www/outside.jpg"
    , "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/515046/www/garfield-interior.jpg"
    , "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/515046/www/cheers.jpg"
], {duration: 3000, fade: 750});
//Load the plugin:
var head= document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
var script= document.createElement('script');
script.type= 'text/javascript';
script.onreadystatechange = loaded;
script.onload = loaded;
script.src= 'assets/jquery.backstretch.min.js';
head.appendChild(script);
}; //Window OnLoad
</script>

Using Photoshop CC to make a slide show how do I turn off the crop preview

I am trying to create a slide show in Photoshop CC. I am cropping some of the pictures and I can't figure out how to turn off the crop preview.

Simply select a different tool than the Crop tool.

Is it possible to make a high res. DVD slide show that can be viewed with blue ray player/HDTV that retains high res. quality?

I have used PE 12 to make slide shows on DVD but the quality is just not there when I view on HDTV. Is there a way to accomplish this using Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements 12?

salrgrl
Assuming that you are going to use the Elements Organizer Slideshow 12/12.1 as the sole builder of the slideshow and Premiere Elements 12/12.1 just for the burn to AVCHD on DVD disc....
1. Before you start, open Premiere Elements 12/12.1 to its Expert workspace. Go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
In Change Settings, set the project preset to NTSC/DSLR/1080p/DSLR [email protected]. OK out of there.
In the New Project dialog that appears, rename the project and put a check mark "Force Selected Project Settings on This Project". OK out of there.
Minimize the program and do your Elements Organizer slideshow work.
1. Build your slideshow in the Elements Organizer Slideshow Editor with photos with a 16:9 frame aspect ratio. If you can get away with pixel dimensions of over 1920 x 1080 and avoiding pre-cropping/resizing, then just make sure the frame aspect ratio = 16:9. If your photos are 3:2 or 4:3, then cropping to 16:9 before they get into the Elements Organizer. The question is whether the transfer from Elements Organizer to Premiere Elements is going to be influenced by photos oversized for the 1920 x 1080 16:9 project. If a problem, then we may have to back track and crop resize to 16:9 1920 x 1080. The photos are going to end up at 1920 x 1080 away in encoding.
Please go with the Crop to Fit Slide as shown in the screenshot - will not compromise the goal here.
2. When you are ready to send the Elements Organizer Slideshow to Premiere Elements for the burn to AVCHD on DVD....
a. Save the slideshow as a Slide Show Project to the Elements Organizer.
b. In the Elements Organizer, select the slideshow's Slide Show Project thumbnail, and then Share Menu/Burn Video DVD/Blu-Ray.
c. When you do that, your slideshow will be in a Movie Menu/Publish+Share areas of the program which has the pre-set manually wanted project preset.
The workflow choice was made since your intention was to use Premiere Elements just for the burn to AVCHD on DVD disc.
3. Publish+Share
Disc
AVCHD
with Presets =
The presets is going to be the one that will give you the best results.
First, look at Presets = H.264 1920 x 1080pNTSC Dolby....the one with the 23.976 progressive frame rate.
Second, look at Presets = H.264 1920 x 1080iNTSC Dolby...the one with the 29.97 interlaced frame rate.
The first choice in this particular case was made to be consistent with the Premiere Elements project preset
that you set manually at the beginning to
NTSC/DSLR/1080p/DSLR [email protected].
And, that was done since there are many reports that this project preset results in sharper images in the burn to products when
all photos are involved in the slideshow.
Please review and consider, and then we can decide if the above looks like it going to meet your expectations for viewing.
Thanks for considering the above.

Slide Show Parameters - Duration of Still

Hi Gang
Just need a jump start to resetting the length of time for Video in the Browser. I'd like this new parameter, (5 Seconds), to be used for all Stills/Photos inserted on the timeline.
It's for a simple slide show
Thanx
Mike

I still fairly new to FCE, but if you go to preferences there is a tab for all imported Photo's/Still, and you can specify the default duration of these.
