Pause after transition in slide show

When using the auto creat a slideshow in Elements organizer I have a fade between slides and a pan and zoom during them. How do I stop the slight pause between the Fade and the Pan and Zoom. It seems not to be there during preview but is when the slides are rendered either to a file or to Premiere Elements. I want the pan and zoom to start with the slide not after the transition.

Thanks for the update.
Premiere Elements 11 and 12 both have control over setting the project preset based on the properties of the first drag to Expert workspace Timeline. Sometimes it does it correctly, sometimes not. In the not cases, that is when you set the project preset manually before you send the Elements Organizer slideshow to Premiere Elements. How to for that is found in the following
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
Be sure to use the Elements Slideshow Editor's 11 Output option "Edit with Premiere Elements Editor". This will allow you to use the Premiere Elements 11 command of Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow for significant further edits if necessary.

Some things to look at in photo preparation...
a. Please let me know the pixel dimensions of your photos and how many photos? Is your intent a NTSC DVD-VIDEO Widescreen on DVD disc? Any videos in this slideshow? I have some ideas on getting the best possible end result that you may not have seen elsewhere. With those details, I will plot a course of action for you to try to determine - great idea or major dud.
Thanks again.

After burning a slide show, I get a skip in audio

After burning a slide show, II get a skip in the audio about every 5 min. of run time. I imported the pictures from i photo and the music from an itunes play list. When I play the entire thing in preview it runs fine with no problems, but after burning to a dvd, I get a skip every 5 min. I burned to hp DVD-R (16x) and Memorex DVD-R (16x). Still the skip. I have burned to Best preformance, High Quality and Professional Quality. I have even slowed the burn time to 4x. Still the skip. I noticed the bar at the bottom of the screen always reads 5 min. for the audio duration and when it goes back to 0 is when it skips. The run time when I put the cursor on the audio well reads the correct 3min:35sec.

SlideShow function in iDVD - is limited to 99 photos per show.
Creating the SlideShow in iMovie HD6 or FinalCut - doesn't limit this but offers 100% control over process (audio and transitions)
Using iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - will degrade picture quality as they only deliver every second line over to iDVD.
I never use "Share to iDVD" in any iMovie version.
• iMovie up to HD6 - Just close it and import movie project from within iDVD
• iMovie'08 to 11 - "Share to Media Browser" and as Large (not HD) will give as good quality as they can do

IPhoto and Frontrow: can not click and drag after using frontrow slide show

Recently I received my new MacBook Pro, I started using iPhoto and noticed the following problem:
1. Open iPhoto and perform normal tasks, click and drag photos, etc.
2. Close i-Photo
3. Open Frontrow Slide Show(Pictures)- play for a few seconds
4. Close Frontrow
5. Reopen i-Photo and photos will not move(click/drag)
6. Close i-Photo/reopen and all is fine
Anyone else???
Thanks!

I discover that there is no parameter to set slide duration
Using the Finder, drag all the images from the folder containing the images on to the Navigator pane ion Keynote, this will place the images centred on an individual slide
with at least one image selected in the Navigator, select all, (command A)
Inspector > Animate > Start transition: in the drop down menu, select: Automatically
seethe delay to the time you want the image to appear on screen, you can select individual times by selecting one slide at a time
and no choice of slide transition and timing

Flickery transitions in iDVD slide show

I have burned two disks now using iDVD and had no trouble but I do have a question about transitions in slide shows. On the first disk I used a slide show (8 minutes, 99 images) with the “fit to music” option and the “use safe area” option for the display. The images were a little too small for my taste on my TV so I redid the show and unchecked the “safe” option. At the same time, I cut 9 of the slides but since I kept the “fit to music” option the timing was slightly slower. Fine, but I noticed that the dissolves between the images were “flickery” when compared to the first one on my TV. I had extracted the .dv of the first slideshow and included it on the second DVD so I could compare them directly and it’s true - they are smooth in the first but noticeably less so in the second, full screen, slideshow.
Has anyone else had this happen? Should I try to add nine more images back in? As it takes over an hour to burn this disk on my old, slow machine I'd rather ask first than attempt every possible variation on my own.
I can add that both disks were burned with the 60 minute “faster” rather than the 120 minute “better” quality mode. Since one doesn’t display the flickering I don’t really think the quality mode is relevant but who knows...

Hi Rick:
Matti Haveri (one of the top rated iLife members) has done tests on this subject. here are his results:
----quote:
Movie slideshows tend to flicker with high-frequency images while "soft" images are OK.
So I did a quick test to see how the input image's resolution and blurring affects the output quality of those high-frequency images.
Test material: some 2048x1536 digital camera JPG images that had a lot of very sharp edges (buildings, thin wires, construction work scenes etc -- i.e. "high-frequency" images). I converted them to TIF so that there was no lossy JPG degradation involved. I manipulated the images in Photoshop as follows:
1. original 2048x1536
2. original bicubically resampled to 768x576. I guess also iPhoto bicubically resamples; at least the results are very similar. On the other hand, I believe Graphic Converter does not have bicubic resampling so I haven't got as good results with it.
3. original bicubically resampled to 640x480
4. original with 90° (vertical) 3 pixel Motion Blur. The idea is to blur only the horizontal thin lines which flicker on an interlaced TV. The vertical lines are unaffected by this filter.
5. original with 1 pixel Gaussian blur. This blurs horizontally approximately as much as the 3 pixel Motion blur, but it blurs the image also vertically.
In iMovie's 4:3 PAL standard DV project (720x576) I applied to each image a) no Ken Burns and b) 1-5x zoomed 10 second Ken Burns. I did not let iMovie render the non-Ken Burns images while exporting the project to iDVD because that is a well-known source for bad quality.
I burned the project via iDVD's Best Performance to DVD and checked the result via an interlaced 28" CRT TV.
The results:
#1-5 were all sharp with no Ken Burns as well as with 1x zoomed Ken Burns. But the higher resolution non-blurred input images were, in fact, TOO sharp and thus flickered on a TV:
1. 2048x1536 flickered very badly with and without Ken Burns
2. 768x576 flickered slightly less but also very disturbingly
3. 640x480 flickered only little. But both #2-3 tolerated the 3-5x zoom very badly because the input resolution was so small. The zoomed-in image was too blurry and the details were lost.
4. Vertical Motion Blur didn't flicker at all. But during the zoom there was some disturbing "living" in the vertical lines. Obviously the vertical lines must be blurred, too:
5. Gaussian blur didn't flicker and the zooms were beautiful and peaceful. The Gaussian blur lost some fine detail in the zoomed-in image but the quality was very good. And the loss of fine detail is just a trade-off for the flickerless image.
In fact, I have had very similar results to #5 with Photo To Movie's High Quality setting. Also Toast's slideshows are of good quality. A lot of people have also been satisfied with Still Life and PhotoMagico.
Conclusions:
- iMovie should blur the images so they wouldn't flicker on a TV. Applying a small Gaussian blur to the input images seems like a good workaround.
- Using Photo To Movie, Toast, Still Life and PhotoMagico and other 3rd party utilities are good alternatives, too.

Iphoto slide shows on Apple TV ignores Music settings

I use iphoto slide shows on my apple tv as you have more control over the burns effects etc. rather than Apple tv taking control. I have a problem where after setting the slide show timing to fit the music track (fit slide show to music in iphoto) whilst this runs fine within the apple mac , is completely ignored on the appleTV and the music finishes (and repeates) before the slide show ends. any ideas

The timing is probably not ignored but it is likely that transitions are applied differently on the tv and may take a different length of time to occur. Still the effect is the same and unfortunately it's not too pretty. Which is why I chose to stick with simply syncing photos and not slideshows a long time ago.

Keyboard shortcuts for PDF slide show?

After creating a slide show in Photoshop elements 12, I saved it in PDF form. When I let it run, Pictures only come on full screen. I can navigate slides with keyboard forward and back, but not stop or freeze a picture. Is there any Key or combination for "Pause" ? Is the show controlled by Windows (Vista) or by Acrobat Reader or even by Photoshop?
Thanks for answers,
Platonman

In adobe reader:
See if left clicking and holding pauses the advance.
Then release the mouse button to resume the slideshow.

Combining More then one Slide Show

I have a slideshow I am creating with a 110 pictures. When I try to link the two slide shows the preview shows that they have been linked. After the final picture of the first slide it stops for a second and then transitions to the second slideshow and finishes up. When I burn it to a DVD and test it out on a DVD player for some reason it returns to the menu after the first slide show. What's going on? Or is there anything I should check?

Did you perhaps set an "Override" in the Properties of the button that starts the slideshow? It should be "Not Set".

A How To: Create a Widescreen High Definition Slide Show from the Organizer

[EDIT] I just tried another one and, weirdly, that produced an output with black bars around all four sides! So maybe this 'how to' is not 100%. I have considered deleting the post altogether but, as it does still produce a superior slideshow quality file than the standard ones provided with Elements, I've decided to leave it with this edit added at the top for additional info.[END_EDIT]
In answering a question in another forum I found a nice quick way to create proper widescreen high definition slide shows from just the Elements Organizer. Apologies if this is 'old news' to readers, but I've not seen this described elsewhere so I thought I'd share it.
The Organizer Slide Show creator, if not wanting to edit in PRE, provides a small set of Windows Media Player profiles to create .wmv files. But the best of these goes only to 1024x768 (a 4:3 monitor resolution setting). I've noticed, but never paid much attention to, that at the bottom of the Slide Size box there is a 'Browse for more' option that lets you search for additional Windows Media Encoder profiles. Investigation showed me that I can download the Windows Media Encoder software from Microsoft and create my own profiles. But even further investigation showed me that someone had already done this! I've tested their full HD profile and it works just fine (1920x1080).
So if you are just after a straightforward slide show (i.e. not needing PRE features) but want it displayed on your Full HD TV set here is what you do:
Download the HD Profiles from http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/236895-hd-profiles-for-windows-movie-maker/. There's also a couple of useful SD sizes there as well. Save them somewhere you can easily find them.
Create your slide show in the Organizer. Obviously use appropriately sized images for HD. There's little point outputting an HD wmv file using low resolution and/or 4:3 aspect ratio images.
Save and Output your slide show.
In the output dialog ('Save As a File') scroll down to the bottom of Slide Size and select 'Browse for more ...'.
Browse to the file you downloaded in step 1 and click Open.
Click OK and your Widescreen HD .wmv file is prepared.
Here's a Gspot analysis of my test output file. As you can see it is an HD file with a 16:9, square pixel, aspect ratio.
Ta Da!
Cheers,
Neale

You did not mention a specific Premiere Elements Elements Organizer combo for this, so for now I will address this from the version 11, not Windows Movie Maker, perspective if I need to get version specific.
.prx
The Browse for More is a well known route and does offer at least one Adobe profile for 1280 x 720 16:9. I am not sure where you came up with the lesser resolution,1024 x 768 that you mentioned. The Windows Media profiles have existed for several versions of Elements Organizer. Those Adobe ones that you do not see under Output Save As A File Movie (.wmv), can be found in the Windows 7 or 8 64 bit path
Local Disc C
Profile Files (x86)
Adobe
Elements 11 Organizer
Assets
Locale
en_US
tv_profiles
in the tv_profiles Folder are included the .prx files
.....10. 640 x 480 Enhanced Definitions
.....12. 852 x 480 Widescreen Enhanced Definition
.....14 1280 x 720 Widescreen High Definition
A homemade 1920 x 1080 16:9 30 frames per second .prx has long been sought but not that easily produced by many using with the Windows Media Encoder Editor. Apparently you have found one online, and it does get accepted into the Premiere Elements 11 Browse for More choices. And, if you do a gspot readout for the wmv output from Elements Organizer 11, it will display all the "right" properties that you hoped for and that are shown in your screenshot.
The bottom line, why bother with the wmv slideshow? If you take your original photos and size them for 1920 x 1080 16:9, use them in the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor (Crops used in preferences), use the Edit with Premiere Elements Editor command, what you get in Premiere Elements 11 is full and good in all regard. Have you tried it?
I can see your interest if this is HD going to HD (AVCHD on DVD or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc, but I do not see this for an Elements Organizer Slideshow that is going to DVD-VIDEO widescreen.
More later.

Sending slide show to IDVD---problem

I have ILife08 on a new MacBook, and am having a problem with IDVD. After creating a slide show with music in IPhoto, I export it to IDVD to put it on a disc, and find there is a bit of a sync or timing problem now with the music and slides.
The slide show is tightly correographed to the music and played fine in IPhoto, but after exporting to IDVD, the music plays very slightly faster than it did in IPhoto, screwing up the timing of the slides.
One hint may be that I get a message in IDVD that there is gray space in the file, and if I don't get rid of it, there will be a blank section on the disc. No idea what they're talking about...
Any ideas out there?
Thanks!

bjohn:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The audio sync is a problem reported by others. Are you up to date with Quicktime and Tiger. By you specs you're still at 10.4.10. Check to see if your at 7.3.1 for Quicktime. Try installing the 10.4.11 COMBO updater. You can find both at Apple Downloads.
There are alternatives to creating the slideshow in iPhoto. You could use iMovie HD (version 6) as it allows multiple audio tracks that can be turned and trimmed for exact timing. I've not heard of issues with it's timing while going to iDVD (however, it's best to not export from iMovie but just drag the iMovie project file into an open iDVD project to let iDVD do the rendering/compression).
I've not heard of the "gray space" warning. Ask about that in the iDVD forum.
Note: iMovie HD (6) is available for download for users who've bought iLife 08. You can find it at the download site I linked to above. You'll have to do a search for iMovie HD.
Happy Holidays
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.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. 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.

Problems w/ buring DVD of photo slide show & best Premiere Elements 8 upgrade recommendation please.

I created a video slide show in Adobe Photoshop & Premiere elements 8, kept getting messages: "disk space low, exceeded recommended #of slides and/or recommended 30 minute duration". So what, I want a 90 minutes slide slow?(!) It allowed me to complete, but disk burn would never finalize (after stopping at 78% 8 hours later). How do I get this project file to burn in Nero or something similar and is there better software out there? I have a ton of videos to create after this photo slide show & I certainly can't wait all night for a video to burn after it is created.
PS: I have had this problem w/ previous videos I created. i.e. in the past, using same Premiere Elements version, I have combined multiple video clips into one DVD movie but it took all night to burn. Any insight will be much appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.
I agree with John T., in that the pixel x pixel size of the Still Images would be the first thing that I would look into.
Next, I interpret that error message to be related to the available HDD space. His links on furnishing more info will be important there. Pay special attention to furnishing the full specs. of your I/O sub-system, i.e. your HDD's, their size, speed, available defragmented free-space, controller type and how you have them allocated.
A 90 min. DVD should NOT be over the avilable space on a DVD-5 disc.
If you DO have adequate defragmented free-space on your HDD(s), you should be able to Burn to Folder, and then use Nero, Roxio or the great, free ImgBurn, to do the physical burn to DVD.
However, if you have limited defragmented free-space, that will likely fail, as the working files required are very large.
In very general terms, PrE needs between 40 - 60GB of defragmented free-space, just to run effectively and efficiently. When one does either a Burn to Folder, or Burn to Disc, that necessary space can go up.
Also remember that as one approaches about 70% of HDD capacity, performance decreases. As one nears 100%, performance can slow to a crawl, and at 100% catastrophic failure of the HDD is a strong possibility. One should not exceed about 70%, and NEVER go to 100%.
Good luck, and please let us know more, and especially about your I/O sub-system.

When transfering a slide show from Photoshop Elements into Premier Elements some images rotate 90 degrees .

After assembling a slide show in Photoshop Elements and transfering it to Premier Elements some images are rotated 90 degrees and can not be corrected. I am using Windows 8.1.
Using the same slide show images with Windows Vista there is no problem.

Premiere Elements slide show error mesage

After preparing a slide show I went to "Share" and checked "Burn Video DVD/Blue ray. When Premiere Elements loaded and went to download my project file I received an error message as follows "This type of fie is not supported, or the codec is not installed".
I cannot create the slide show on a dvd.

rickyrun
I had been working on the Premiere Elements 13 Windows tryout, trying to cover as much as possible. The tryout has expired. I should have the purchased version by the end of the week.
Elements Organizer 13 is a "new breed" of Elements Organizer along with it "Slideshow".
You say that you have created your slideshow (presumed with one of its 5 themes) and saved it as an Elements Organizer 13 Slides Show Project.
From that point on, this is my take on this which I will confirm again later in the week when I have the purchased version...
a. The Slide Show Project is a creation of the Elements Organizer 13 and remains in the catalog, available for re-edit (limited).
b. The only way out of the Elements Organizer 13 for this created slideshow is Export to yield an AVCHD.mp4 file either 720p30 or 1080p30 which
is saved to the computer hard drive.
c. It is those AVCHD.mp4 files that can be imported into a Premiere Elements project with Premiere Elements' Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets.
d. I do not recall there being a viable opportunity to use the Slide Show Project thumbnail in the Elements Organizer 13 workspace for a Share/Burn Video DVD or Blu-ray.

Why does my slide show with music crash back to the album on Retina display?

I really enjoy making slide shows that have music on iphotonand have done it for years. Suddenly after working with slide shows and music on my new Mac Book Pro 15" with retina display the slide show crashes back to the album display after the first slide. The title comes up, the music starts the first slide comes up and then it just stops and goes back to the album display. Everything was working fine until Sunday when I installed the new Iphoto.

Ok, people. No one helped me on this one, I figured it out by myself. There is a new section in Iphoto called "slideshows" and if you move the album from which you want to make a slideshow there the slideshow and music work perfectly together with the benefit that now you and store different music with each slide show that I hadn't been able to do before.
Mystery solved.

After adding audio to slide show, can we...

With the help of posts from this forum I got the audio up and running on a couple slide shows. I'd like refine a couple things, so has anybody done any of the following:
1) Can the pictures in the slide show fade in and fade out for better picture to picture transitions?
2) Can the play/pause button for the audio be changed? I'd like to add volume and maybe a percent indicator while the audio is loading.
3) Could the slide show start AFTER the audio is loaded? By the time the audio starts the slide show is usually on the 2nd slide.
4) Sometimes the audio will not loop. I think this depends on how the slide show window was closed. If the same page is reloaded again, the audio usually doesn't loop. Is there a way to re-initialize the slide show audio to guarantee it will loop each time.
5) Will the audio work if the end-user doesn't have quicktime on the computer?
I've been using this section of the website for beta testing -
http://www.pebbleplace.com/Personal/SanFrancisco001.html

It can be done, but you are asking for entirely different slideshow

like refine a couple things, so has anybody done any
of the following:
1) Can the pictures in the slide show fade in and

Yes, but you will have to do extra works with javascript. There is a transition variable in slideshow javascript, but there is no control over the slide duration (it's fixed and there is now way to change it). This can cause some strange effects.
2) Can the play/pause button for the audio be
changed? I'd like to add volume and maybe a percent

Yes, change one of the arguments in QT_WriteOBJECT:
QTWriteOBJECT('SF_Soundtrack1.mov', '34', '16', '',

You can put a delay time to call QT_WriteOBJECT function, once again javascripts.

QT is preloaded in a mac, but not so for pcs; so QT needs to be installed on a pc.

Cp4: slide shows another slide during transition 'fade'

I'm using Captivate 4, and have created a project with 22 slides. Each slide has a background consisting of a screenshot of an application. No imagelayers on top of that, except for highlights and textboxes. Also, each slide contains audio and a few slides contain Flash video.
Problem: when using the transition option 'fade' from slide 4 to slide 5 (slide 5 - transition 'fade'), another slide shines through some of the white space. The slide that shines through could be three different slides, which all contain the same image.
In other words: when transitioning from slide 4 to 5, slide X (could be three identical slides) shines through the white parts for half a second.
I have tried:
- Creating a new slide within current project, with a new background and copying the highlights etc (same problem)
- Copying all slides to a new project (same problem)
- Adding blank slides before and after the slide that shines through (still slide X shines through)
- Checking for transparency (none)
- Inserting the background as a new png and merging it into the background (same problem)
- Inserting the background as a new png and showing it to the end of the slide wthout fades (same problem)
- Removing the transition altogether (works, but I need the transition!)
I have run out of options. Can anyone help me?

Hi,
Lets get this clear...
When you set Transition -- it set how the slide will appear ( basically fade-in in your case )
So your 5th slide must have Transition-Fade. Slide background will too fade in for 5th slide.
If you want that your screenshot isnt visible while slide transition you can add them as image-items and make them appear after fade completes.
