Photos/Slideshow in Blog

I am wanting to change the way in which my photos are presented in my blog. Rather than the normal album format, I would like something like this, but with the ability to add captions:
http://roddymckay.com/VisualMedia/SimpleViewer.html
I like this because of the larger image and space saving (ie, all the images can be incorporated into a slide show).
However, this simple slideshow, as well BananAlbum, require Flash Album Exporter for iPhoto (at least I think they do) and this is no longer available.
Do you know of a way to achieve this kind of slideshow/photo album that will also allow the insertion of comments?
Thanks

Photo slideshow on Blog Page

Question specifically for James Tseng...
1. how do you get photo's to appear randomly and overlay one another on your "blog pages"
2. And how do you get multi images to display as mini slideshows within the i-web photo template pages
Are these third party tools you've used or features readily available within i-web.
Can't help but admire your creativity. Thank you.

Hey great work so far Mr Peebly! So sorry your thread slipped past me.
So when you open up your slideshow, check out how it interacts with the browser window. Resize the browser window by dragging the lower right hand corner smaller and larger. You will see that at a certain "wideness" your slideshow starts to recenter itself in the browser window. And at a certain "narrowness" your browser starts to put horizontal scroll bars on. This point is the exact minimum width of your slideshow and will need to be the minimum width of your <iframe>. Remember that your iframe functions like a mask, so you will want your entire slideshow to show through centered in the iframe....so you must adhere to this minimum width.
The vertical width is going to depend on how many photos and in how many columns you choose to put them. You see how your photos overflow the vertical dimensions of the page? you can go back later and experiment with iPhoto Export and see if you can better fit your photos into maybe 7 columns. but then check the minimum width as above again!
So basically to get the dimensions of your slideshow, the main thing is the minimum width. For the Postcard Viewer vertical dimension is not as important, but you want to be able to see your whole slideshow. So once you have your slideshow fixed (thumbnail-wise). Drag the browser to the point where there are no scroll bars and no re-centering. The easiest way I know of to get the dimensions of something is to use the screengrab function Apple-Shift-4 and draw a box around the slideshow. The do a Get Info (Apple-i) on the screenshot file and you will see dimensions listed there under more info. These will be the dimensions to use in your <iframes> expression as well as the size of your text box to make in iWeb.
So here we are...almost there... so far your iframes expression looks like this...
<iframe src="http://homepage.mac.com/paul.best/Slideshows" width="xxx" height="xxx" scrolling="no" border="0" style="border:none;" frameborder="0"></iframe>
Keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to seeing your finished product!

Need help w/ Photo Slideshow Effects for FCPX

How do i create a background/generator/effect similar to this for my still images for my photo slideshow presentation? Im just using ken burns effect and it looks a little plain for me. I cannot find a plug-in that would give this background effect for my photos. help please!

Here is another: 3D Glass Shelf Effect (see here: http://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/the-big-list-free-fcpx-effects-filters-and-templ ates/)

Adding transitions to Flash Photo Slideshow template?

I'm working on generating a template i can use to just drop in photos from shoots for a blog where i discuss the types of projects my team does.
I like the flash slideshow template because once it's all set up the way you want it you can just drop all the photos in on import.
I got everything pretty much tweaked out how i want it - got rid of the controller ball and put the controls and counter on the frame, got it to auto start with the pause/play toggle working correctly (thanks to this forum)
BUT
now i want to add a transition between photos.
I'm thinking I want to extend the number of frames each photo is on stage for add a new layer with a white or black solid and have that fade in and out so that i really can just import in the new images in each time and not require more tweaking but i can't figure out how to change the advance code to say something like "current frame + 15" and set the counter up so it's not affected by the new frames...
I'd like to leave the photo key frames as unmodified as possible so that in the future it really is just a question of dropping in new photos for each blog post...
ideas?

Jim,
You have two ways of doing this,
1.You can put the pictures into Photoshop / Photoshop Element and use the text tool to add your captions.
You can do it in any color or font and then drag it right into iDVD.
2.or do it in iMovie - You have a wide assortment of titles in iMovie. Just uncheck the over black square, I would use the Subtitle, write in the space provided and then pull down the word T Subtitle in front of the picture where you want the titles to appear. Adjust the time with the bar on top. You have a choice of color also. Then put it into iDVD.

Problems with photo slideshow director HD version 6.1

I have iPad mini with 12.6 gb capacity (4.2 gb available) and am using iOS 8.0.2. I downloaded Photo Slideshow Director HD PRO version 6.01. I have a Celebration of Life for a family member tomorrow. I created a slideshow 49 min long, 369 photos. (from what other users wrote I didn't think a video of that length would be a problem). In order to do anything with it, it has to be encoded and saved to my photo library. I start the process and it gets about 30% there and the app just shuts down. I've made sure my device does not lock. It doesn't go to sleep, the app just closes and my device goes back to my home screen. I've also tried wifi transfer, transfer to my PC through iTunes, but nothing can happen till it's "encoded". I've put in 2 emails to developer, no response.
I know I could make multiple shorter clips, but I'm simply out of time and can't reload and edit all those pictures!
Any suggestions? Thank You

I would guess that the length of your slideshow would have something to do with your problem.
Is this what you are using:
http://www.iphone-to-ipad.com/blog/transfer-files-ipad-mac.html
A video almost one hour long in HD will be of very considerable size which means any wireless transfer would be painfully slow and would only work with a very stable connection. Not ever having put together a video on an iPad (as I prefer my large screen iMac and using Final Cut, iMovie, iDVD, Motion, etc), one fact while editing and rendering video is: it needs a lot of RAM as well as enough empty hard drive space - at least on a computer. I do not know how well an iPad will cope with such processor demanding tasks.
My recommendation would be that you export the images and then edit/process/render the slideshow on a computer or, at a minimum, transfer the slideshow in "pieces" - you should be able to combine the parts once on your computer. Just use iMovie to add them together.

How do i make a photo slideshow / banner for the welcome page in iWeb

How do i create a photo slideshow or fading slidshow for the welcome page in iweb

There are trillions of slideshows to be found on the internets.
Download the one you like, make it work the way you want and put it on the server.
Display it in the browser to see if it looks the way you want.
Then use the <iframe> html element to display it in a HTML Snippet.

How to create a photo slideshow in my movie

Hello all,
Im woking on my first movie with Premier Elements 12 and I can not figure out how to include a slideshow of pictures at the end of my movie.
Of course I can drag the photos on the timeline and use trancients in between but there is nothing I can do with the picture like editting/cut parts off, make them black/white and use movement effects for example.
Isnt this an option/included in Premiere lements 12 ?
I just bought the software but also played around with the trial of Cyberlink Powerdirector which has this handy magic function to select all pictures at once and create different/random trancirents and effects and pictures could be editted also.
This is what Im after but I can not find how to do this stuff in Premiere lements 12.
Hope someone can help me out.
Thatnks in advance

AlexSan
Do you have Photoshop Elements 12 as well as Premiere Elements 12?
What is this "movie" that the photo slideshow is going to be at the end of? A video? If so, what are the
properties of that video...video and audio compressions, frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, file extension, pixel aspect ratio?
What is your intended final product...DVD-VIDEO standard or widescreen on DVD disc, AVCHD on DVD disc, or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc?
With the above information, I will suggest some approaches that you might want to look into.
Thanks.

How to apply a specific music for each photo slideshow

I'd like to setup a specific music for a specific photo slideshow, and to store that preferences, in some way, so that, on selecting a slideshow, automagically startup the specific song.
Is it possible ?
Seems not ... yet.

You can do that by preparing the slideshow in iphoto instead of on the tv, you then have to ensure you sync the slideshow and the tunes you have used in the slideshow before playing it on the tv.

How to display a photo slideshow in Widescreen 16x9 format?

I just bought a 5g iPod and the A/V connection kit. I can play a photo slideshow on my 16x9 TV, but it stretches the photos to fit the screen, so they are out of proper aspect ratio. Is there a way to tell my iPod that it should be displaying the photos on a 16x9 screen?
I understand that there is a widescreen option in the Video playback menu, but this does not seem to have any effect on the output of photo slideshows.

Jon,
See if this works. It may or may not.
Go to videos-->video settings-->Widescreen-->On
See if now when you play the photo slideshow it works right.
Now, if it doesn't then I don't think there is much you can do.
Tell Apple about the issue (if the steps above don't solve it)
Send Apple Your Feedback

I can't seem to get my iPod touch (4th Gen) to play photo slideshows or videos through my TV. Is this a design flaw? Or is it me? My old iPod used to do it no problem, but now I can't even find any video out options in the settings.

HT3798 On iPod 160gb - how can I view album art full screen like in the menu half screen or photo slideshows?

I remember responding to an apple customer satisfaction survey in 2009, when I purchased my iPod Classic. I suggested it should be possible to have album art viewed in full screen like in photo slideshows or how album art is presented on half the screen when the menu is navigated to the 'music' list. Does anyone know if apple has created an iPod Classic software update which includes this glaring omission?

The progress bar is not the iPod disconnecting from the PC but rather the iPod reading in the library database from it's hard drive. It's safe to disconnect when told to.

Stop and start a photos slideshow

Hi .. So I want to use the photos slide show to execute a presentation .. But this means I need to start the slideshow and then stop, present the slide (a photo of the slide in fact), and then continue to the next photo .. I.e. I want manual control of the slideshow. Is this possible without having to stop and restart the whole slideshow?
Thanks.
Btw keynote cannot handle my large ppt files, and photos/slideshow is the only other app I can find that outputs to the via and my tv/projector, hence I converted the talk to a jpeg and loaded it as a sequence of photos! It would be quite a lot easier if good reader could output to the VGA, or keynote display PDF files.

Hi,
If you do the slideshow from the opening screen (Picture Frame), the iPad allows for no control other than stopping the show completely. If you run the slideshow from within the Photo app, if you stop a slide (you have to touch it and move it a bit to get it to stop), then the whole slideshow stops and you have to restart it again in the usual way. So Craig is right. Just put your presentation in an album, open the album and manually swipe to the next photo when you're ready. The only practical way to get the photos onto the iPad is to sync them to the Photo Library album (you can't sync to the Saved Photo album and you can only get pictures in there either from Safari or from email- unless I'm missing something), which means you'll be losing the ones that are already there. But that shouldn't be a problem if you just store them on your main computer and synch them back after the presentation's done.

My Mac Air iphoto will display thumbnails but will not display photos in any way - single photo / slideshow etc - any ideas

My Mac Air iphoto will display thumbnails but will not display photos in any way - single photo / slideshow etc - any ideas?

Are you seeing this
when you double click on a thumbnail file? If so it's an indication that the file path/link between the thrumbnail and original, full sized file has been broken. Therefore, and assuming you're running iPhoto 9 or later, try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

How to create a photo slideshow in imovie 11

describe how to create a 200 photo slideshow from the start using imovie 11 with titles, transitions and music and then burn it to a dvd

iMovie is to edit movies; creating a slideshow is easier in iPhoto. When finished, you can then move it to iMovie or iDVD to create a cool menu/theme and burn it.
Here is a link to Apple support - I searched for "how to create a slideshow in iPhoto":
