Photoshop Elements 10 Slide Show Audio

(Not Premiere version)
In creating a slide show (in the Create Slide Show option out of the Organizer), after I add a mp3 audio clip for background music, I would like to adjust the volume as I do narration over the top of it. The volume slider in the audio properties tab has no effect except for previewing the clip within the tab. The volume during playback within the slide show remains constant. What exactly does the volume slider do?

I realize that you said not the Premiere version.
However, I have not been able to lower the volume of the music during Narration using the Create Slide Show option of the Organizer (which is the create slide show that was previously in Photoshop Elements).
1 -- FYI - Premiere Elements does have an Audio Mixer that can be used as an easy method to adjust the volume of the music during the time periods which you choose (for example, during the narration). So that is what I have used.
2 -- Otherwise I think that you may need to use an audio editor to create your soundtrack volume adjustments and then add this "volume adjusted audio" to the Create Slide Show process. Audacity is a free audio editor for which I have seen recommendations but I have no personal experience with it.
3 -- What will be the final output format for this slide show ? What software will you use to create that final output ? Perhaps the answers to these questions will identify another alternative for your audio.

Is Copy Paste Pans & Zooms Possible in Photoshop Elements Slide Show Editor Slideshow?

In the Photoshop Elements Slide Show Editor, someone wants to create a unique pan and zoom effect for one photo and be able to apply it the the rest of the photos in the Filmstrip without having to do that on an individual photo basis.
In the Slide Show Editor, Edit Menu/Apply Pan & Zoom to All Slides or Apply Pan & Zoom to Selected Slide(s) does not get the job done. Instead it looks like it just applies the default Photoshop Elements pan and zoom. I have investigated several routes to the goal unsuccesful and have concluded that Photoshop Elements Slide Show Editor offers no such copy paste pans & zoom feature.
I have detailed how to add more than one pan & zoom per slide, how to get the pan & zoom copy/paste job done in Premiere Elements, either doing all the pan & zoom in Premiere Elements or creating the pan & zoom in Photoshop Elements for one slide, using Send to Premiere Elements, Break Apart Adobe Photoshop Elements Slideshow, copy/paste of the transferred pan & zoom. Believe it or not, that does work. I know that there will be skeptics who feel that the pan & zoom timing would be distored, but....This person does not have or want Premiere Elements in the equation. So, I am looking for a way out for her.
I am posting the question here for someone to confirm my conclusion or offer a way that has escaped me. If someone has found a way, he/she will be fully created for the contribution and thanked.

Copy and past funtionaliy is not available in pan & zoom feature. Please do a feature request.

PSE 8 Slide show audio problem

I am in the process of editing my slide show. I downloaded some MP3 files and when I try to add them, I get a error message.
"Unable to add the audio file ..............."
"The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (codec) installed"
Whats going on? The downloaded files are in the same directory as some older mp3 files .....the older files work and will install in the slide show. The newer ones will not.
Any advice?

Well ..... I solved it myself. By using itunes I converted the mp3 files to wav files. Why these particular mp3 files would not import into the Elements slide show editor ..........I do not understand. Anyway...problem solved....for now

The box in my Photoshop Elements, which shows the size and types of brushes has shrunk to one unreadable line. How do I expand the box to its original size? I have tried dragging it open but nothing moves.

Well, when you open the program, the splash screen, the window you see while the program is opening, should make that clear enough. For example:

Slide show audio - PSE8

Despite repeated attempt to create a slide show with no audio Elements 8 picks music and applies it regardless. Is this a software bug and if so is there a patch to retify the problem?
Thanks. Shoopa

If you created your slideshow using the slideshow editor you will need to open your project and click on the audio track to highlight it in blue; then hit the delete key and resave.
If you are playing a full screen slideshow from the organizer or from an album; click on the tool icon at the bottom of the screen and in the full screen dialog select none from the background music dropdown menu.

Slide show - audio Narration & Sound Track

IN PE7 is there a way to adjust the volume of the audio narration and the background sound track . If I add an audio narration to the slides and add a music Sound track to the show - The music steps on the narration and it can not be heard.

Robert,
In the PSE 7 slide show editor you could decrease the volume of the music soundtrack for its entire duration - but that may make the volume of the music too low when there is no narration. You can also add multiple music files to a slide show, but creating separate pieces (files) from a music sound track would require additional software to edit the music files and then difficult precise placement of the pieces of music around the narration. In my opinion, neither is really a good answer.
What format do you plan to use for the Output command of your completed slide show?
Do you also have Premiere Elements 7? If no, do you have other video editing/creation software on your PC?

Mobil photos album in Photoshop Elements 12 show up in Revel albums with titles but are blank. No photos!

I am using Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer for Mac. I have moved several local albums to the mobil albums area in the left panel of the Org
anizer screen. I am signed in to Revel. The albums with titles show up in Revel, but they are empty. None of the photos show up. I can see the photos in the library section of Revel, but not in the album view. Also, when I try to share the albums with Album Web Share, the link that is generated takes me to the album webpage where I see a message "There are no photos or videos in this album".
Why are the albums coming up blank! What have I down wrong?? I can see the photos in the albums in the Photoshop Organizer window, but nothing in the Revel albums.

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.

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.

IDVD Slide show audio issue

Slide shows created on iDVD look and sound great during preview, however after burning to disk, audio drops out for about 5 seconds after every 99 slides? I have been told that this is a known issue with iDVD. How can I correct this error??

There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

Slide show audio

How can I add narration to a slideshow>? I have iLife 5. I've created many slide shows adding music from iTunes. Now I want to add my own voice narration. I bought a microphone from the Apple Store, but I haven't figured out how to get it to record. Do I need some other software,hardware, or what?
iMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Try iMovie to record your audio.....
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/6.0/en/imv1077.html
One possible workflow for the whole project:
Build the slideshow in iPhoto and "Send to iDVD." Then import the QT file made by iPhoto into iMovie, and then add music and your voiceover.....then use the iMovie project in iDVD....

Slide Show Audio Problem at Beginning of Show

Very strange occurence that I have never encountered and I'm really stumped.
I have a slideshow that was created in Encore CS4 that plays directly after the main menu. The show begins normally with two blank slides at the head end for timing and to as a fade up from black. I use cross dissolves between slide. The music begins with a video at 0 level then the video fades in behind it within three ~ 4 seconds.
Just after or as the first slide advances to the second other close to this point the music stutters for about two seconds then clears up and is fine for the remainder of the show. I felt this was some hiccup with the blank slides or some wierd issue with the audio track so I used a different one and it did the same thing at the same spot. I the render the slide show in Encore and played it from the beginning--it sounds perfect with either audio track.
I then burned the project to a folder and played the DVD from the folder in a virtual DVD player in Windows--it plays fine.
I then took one of the many disk that I had made while experimenting with different burn speeds and played the disk in the computer dvd drive--the slide show was again fine.
So only when the DVD is played in a DVD player do I have this problem. This is crazy. I have done maybe forty different slide show integrations in Encore and never encountered anything like this. Why would the show play perfectly in Encore and when the burned DVD is played in the computer but not in the a DVD settop player?
This points to the pplayer but this seems odd--what is causing it. How can I be certain it won't do it in the customer's player? It does the same thing in another player as well--but it happens to be the same model but if it were a glitch in one player it isn't likely that the same glitch would be in both. I still think I am missing something here.
Any suggestions please--I can't send this out to the client like this and tell him it's a glitch that I will fix it for obvious reasons.
Thanks!!

It sounds as if for some bizarre reason, the transition is causing the player buffer to empty out.
This happens on certain - usually older - players when sequential cells are set as non sequential in compiling.
(I had this one bite me - hard - recently, although from a different application).
Best way to check this is to go get a copy of the excellent PGCEdit (shareware) and load the compiled disc.
http://download.videohelp.com/r0lZ/pgcedit/index.html
Find the main timeline for the slideshow, and double click it. (see attached image)
The "chapters" will be listed, and we need to see these ticked as sequential playback, or seamless.
If there is no tick, add one between each track, save the disc & reburn with IMGBurn (freeware/Donationware)
http://www.imgburn.com/
For some reason, certain chipsets seem to create a gap when transitioning a chapter marker on a timeline with a single sequential audio stream when the chapter is incorrectly set to non seamless.
This may not be what is happening here, but I think it is worth a look.

Slide Show Audio Error Message

I am getting an error message, "The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (codec) installed."
This is what the adobe support says about it, "The error occurs because the file contains copy protection, digital rights management, or another mechanism that prevents it from being used outside of designated applications or devices. To use this content in an Adobe product, you will need to obtain a copy of such content from the copyright holder or their licensee, who are able to provide the content without such copy protection."
Does anyone know how I go about getting that unprotected copy from the copyright holder to use in my slide show?

What type of file is it?
You really need mp3. If it’s a track you purchased from iTunes, try deleting album art before using the track.

Photoshop Elements 8 shows error 150:30 in Mac OS X 10.10(Yosemite)

Hi,
Just upgraded to Yosemite (when my iMac 27" died Apple support put in a new HD and did the S/W upgrade). I'm using (or was) PSE 8, but keep getting an error message, and says the licensing has stopped working. Tried reinstalling the programme on my MBP (also now on Yosemite), but while it will open, it won't allow me access to any images stored in iPhoto. Haven't tried yet on the iMac because I can't delete the old/existing key.
The easy answer is to upgrade to PSE13, but is this necessary. Can't seem to find and info on if this is the problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Jack

Wait. You have a bigger problem than a reinstall will fix. You can never, never transfer an installed copy of PSE as the apple store did.
Now you must download and run this:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
after which you can manually remove the bits of PSE that are there. Look not only in applications but also in the library at the main level of your hard drive>application support>adobe, as well as in the user library for the prefs mentioned by John in his post.
Then you can reinstall, but you must clean up the mess first or you'll be right back where you started when you reinstall.

Best way to create slide shows in PE4 and PSE 6

What's the best way to create a fancy slide show in PE 4 and PSE 6? I need to create a slide show of about 600 pictures. I'm on Windows XP with 3gb RAM. I've done this a few years ago in earlier versions of PE and PSE. Before i plunge into this again i wanted to get some overall guidance for what to do or not do.
My ultimate goal is to create a slide show that:
1. uses pan and zoom on every photo
2. transitions between every photo
3. has an audio track
4. has some nice special effects -- words and graphics that appear on slide at precisely the right moment to match the song, and stay on the screen as one slide transitions to another. i want the text to be able to move and fade in and out.
My view is that it's easy to accomplish #1-3 in PSE 6; it's quite simple to create a slide show, add pan and zoom, and transitions. However, #4 is not doable because adding text and graphics can only be done on a slide at a time and only when the slide start/stops (i.e., you can't have text appear 2 secs after the slide has started displaying and stay on screen while the next slide appears). Need PE 4 to do that.
What i'm wondering is:
-- is it best to create the basic slide show in PSE6 and then export to PE 4 to do the final fancy stuff, or is it best to just create the show in PE4? Seems that doing the pans, zooms, and transitions are easiest in PSE 6.

eric,
I am going to offer some reasons NOT to start this slide show in Photoshop Elements. This is despite the fact that I have used the workflow of starting in Photoshop Elements and used the Send Slideshow to Premiere Elements in PSE5 - PE 3 and PSE7 - PE7.
1- Timing differences between the PSE and PE slide show construction and processing
There are many differences in timing between the two products. Transitions can start/end slightly offset from their timing in PSE once they arrive and are processed in PE. Same for pan and zoom. Does this matter? Well the more precise your timing, the more potential for a show stopper.
Example: one person who wanted continual motion using pan and zoom needed to go modify the transition positioning and the keyframing of the pan/zooms on every single slide after sending a slideshow from PSE to PRE.
2- your requirement to
"words and graphics that appear on slide at precisely the right moment to match the song, and stay on the screen as one slide transitions to another. i want the text to be able to move and fade in and out."
You can't really sync the audio to a slide in PSE. The text can't move or fade in/out. I think that it will be more grief to retrofit these functions to a slide show that was created in PSE than it will be to do the all the work in Premiere Elements.
3- "Add the sound track for the ENTIRE slide show (this will be longer than i currently have slides for because i don't have all the photos"
I am suspicious that adding the ENTIRE sound track in one PSE slide show will not work.
I have done multiple sends from PSE slide show editor to Premiere Elements. However, I decided on the approach of using no audio in the PSE slideshow editor and adding Audio in Premiere Elements AFTER sending all the slide shows.
Again, your objective of syncing specific photos to music points is good artistically - but I am concerned that it will make your PSE to PRE workflow problematic.
4- "as new photos arrive, do the arrangement/pans/zooms in PSE and move them to PE"
As Steve mentioned when you do subsequent sends of the slideshow, it appends to the end - does not seem to fit your objective of replacing part of the middle.
Also if you get new photos in for the second section of the slideshow - but over in Premiere Elements you had already made other changes in the second section. There is no function to combine new changes doen in PSE and changes done in PE for that same "section" of the slideshow.
5- you did not say whether you will be outputting this slide show in Full Screen or Widescreen format. Will you be burning a DVD? If you will be doing widescreen output, additional problems with specifying pan/zoom in PSE have been identified on various forums because the PSE pan/zoom boxes are not widescreen aspect ratio.
Conclusion:
Some of my comments here are definitely subjective - however, it is my overall conclusion that your objectives and work plan are not a good fit for the Photoshop Elements slide show editor to Premiere Elements workflow.
My perspective on the Photoshop Elements slide show editor is that it is designed to simple, quick and easy. Therefore it has limitations.

Slide show will not burn to disc

When burning to disc, I always get a transcoding error. It then reports an error "running low on system memory, save and proceed with caution." I have a vista machine with a duo core [email protected] ghz processor with 4gb of ram. My processor is running a max capacity and ram is only half used. Are there any settings I can change? or do I need a faster processor?
At this point I am not updated on what you got help with prior to posting this question.
But, the first things that I would ask,
A. what went into this Photoshop Elements 8 slideshow, if photos, what pixel dimensions and how many, if videos, what source, format, and duration, how long is this slideshow?
B. how did you import the slideshow into Premiere Elements 8 AND have you disabled Background Rendering and AutoAnalyzer features there.
C. what did you do to the Photoshop Elements slideshow once it was in Premiere Elements 8
We can unite the above requested information with your computer specifications in next discussions.
Premiere Elements questions are best posted in the Premiere Elements Forum here.
I will be watching for your responses.

I sent 6 slideshows created in photoshop elements to premiere elements (actually photoshop did it, I simply wanted to create a dvd to show these slide shows on a TV) Each slide show contains between 50 - 100 photos only. The original size of these images is 3000 dpi 3970pixels x2707pixels = 2.44mb each. I have not added any video or audio. I used one of the generic DVD menus and added 1 picture to the menu itself. I do have auto analyzer and other auto recognition programs turned off.

This is what I wound up doing: 1. Create each of your Photoshop Elements slideshows and output each using the Photoshop Elements Slide Show editor Output option "Save As File Movie .wmv" and File Size (profile) = DVD NTSC. Save each as .wmv to Organizer as well as your hard drive location of choice.
I then used windows movie maker to import and burn the files.
The conversion to .wmv files did not take long at all the largest file was 120mb.
I am still confused about batch resizing in photoshop elements. The directions previously given seem to be for photoshop. I could not find batch resize in the file or edit menus.
As far as my processor is concerned, I ran task manager to see what was running and what it was using. Whenever any program was "encoding", my processor ran at 90-100% all the time. No other programs were taxing the processor. My ram memory was unaffected- it always stayed at 50% capacity no matter what was being performed.
Thank you for your help, next time I will use albums to arrange my photos(instead of arranging them within the slideshow), I will resize them (once I figure out how to) and then send them to the slideshow.
Joe
