Photoshop slideshow with timeline

Without really know what I was doing, I built a slideshow in PS for a client, but some of the photos appear smaller that others and offset (not centered like I intended). Not sure if this is something I did accidently or what's going on. Any ideas of how to fix this? Really don't want to start over.

Hi,
..thank you for your input !
I'll try PRE as well as other products.
thanks again

Music for Slideshow is placed on timeline and you can manually adjust the time for which music should play. Unfortunately automatic adjustment of music with change is slide timings is not possible in PSE.
I am not sure but try PRE if there is something like this....

Photo "Slideshow" with Premier Pro CS3?

I've been given about 400 jpeg files to create a self-running video (bride and groom family pics) to run during a wedding. I'd like to imbed music to accompany the photos.
A - is it feasible to do this with PP?
B - suggestions for dos adn don'ts
C - What file format should I use to run this on a VCR/DVD player?
D - Do I just import MP3 music files and stuff them in the audio track?
E - I'm the father of the bride, and so there's no money involved--no music royalties to worry about, right?
I've started a PP project with 4 photos, cropping them beforehand with Photoshop to a consistent size (4x6) and file size (under 400kb) and used PP's "scale to frame size" option. They run okay in the program panel
I'll export these 4 to Encore and produce an MPEG, which will run on a VCR/DVD player, right?
Any tips are appreciated.
Merci beaucoup!

I'll agree with Eddie, with these addenda:
I'd not use MP3 as the file format for the Audio. If you are ripping from CD, then go with PCM/WAV. This will be at 44.1 KHz, and PrPro will easily handle the upconversion to 48KHz for DVD. If the Audio comes from iTunes, etc., and is already in MP3, watch out for any embedded "album art," as this has caused many problems for others in the past. As for E, I plead the same - as this depends and I'm not a lawyer either.
For the images, I'd resize (in Photoshop in my case) to the exact size required. If you're going to DVD, then that would be my first choice (720x480 PAR-0.9 for NTSC). If I need to pan/zoom, then I would resize those particular images to the exact dimensions that I needed. In Photoshop, one can create an Action to resize an entire folder. If I have some different sizes (due to pan/zoom), I'd put them into different folders to do the appropriate resizing. I am less a fan of PrPro's resizing algorithms, and opt for Photoshop's instead. I find the quality to be a bit better and the processing load on PrPro to be lessened a bit. Also, as I do my pans/zooms by hand, and specifically for the individual image, I know beforehand exactly how large/small the image will be. All of this is done, before I Import the image(s) into PrPro.
Just wrapping up a "slideshow" with what has become 1900+ still images (up from the original 1400), and PrPro (plus Photoshop) does a great job.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS remember to set the Duration of the stills, before you Import into PrPro. You can alter the Duration (by hand), for any that need more, or less, but decide on the main Duration BEFORE Import. Then, remember to reset the Preferences, should you alter it from what you might normally want.
PPS depending on how you wish to display the DVD footage, you can create a "looping" video in Encore by doing a Playlist and setting the End Action to the video's Timeline. Otherwise, you can do a traditional DVD with the scene selection Menus, etc..

Photoshop slideshow:love/hate some features-what's the best approach??

Trying to create a slideshow for graduating class. Have created slideshow with photoshop 4.0. What I liked: pan and zoom feature which I use a lot is easywith lots of control. What I didn't like: not be able to fade music, pixelation of some pics (one slide show practically all pics!), unable to place music where I wanted it.
Suggestions?? Do I make a silent slideshow and send it on to Premiere? Should I try Proshow Gold 3? Pinnacle looks a bit complicated and not much pan/zoom control and Sony Vegas Movie Maker looks great but long learning curve.
Would appreciate input of others

G Holle - See my post under Slideshows: Elements 4.0 or Premier Elements 3.0. I have been very happy with Memories on TV available for download from www.codejam.com. It is available as a trial version as well if you just want to try it out and see if it is what you want. I think it's under $50 and the learning curve is much less than with Premier Elements. I didn't need of fade my music, as there was already a fade in the music I selected, so am not sure if this program allows you to do that. But you can shorten the length of the music, if you want to eliminate an intro, etc. I found this program very user friendly and easy to work with, especially after I had tried unsuccessfully with PSE. It is very similar in how you set it up. I recommend you download the trial version and see what you think.

Adobe Photoshop 11 with Premire Elements.

I purchased this program the first weekend in August and have worked on learning it and creating a slide show of our recent trip to Africa almost every day -- a whole month. In the preview it is perfect but when it shows on the TV it is blurry. Even when I preview in full screen on my PC it is a tad blurry and the letters are a little choppy. I have read some other comments and I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. I created the slide show in the Organizer, choose output and the DVD NTSC 720x480 setting, I rendered it, and then burned the DVD. I have made six DVD trying different setting and nothing is working. I had an old program that I created slideshows with and had success on all my DVD's but decided to buy Adobe Photoshop 11 with Premire Elements because I wanted to have more options with my photos. I have spent so much time on this project and I am so disappointed with my final product that I could cry! The slideshow only runs 45 minutes so it is under the 60 minute maximum. It shouldn't be this hard -- HELP!!

Thanks for the follow up. Sorry that your news was not better.
I do not work for Adobe nor am I affiliated with it in anyway. So, what I am about to say is addressed solely in your interests.
If you have confidence in Pinnacle Studio and you can get the slideshow video you want, then go with that. Some even suggest the use of Windows Live Movie Maker and the Windows DVD Maker for creation of the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc.
But, if you think that you want to give this one more try, I will work with you (step by step, all the steps) through this thread to try to get you a good quality Premiere Elements video representing your slideshow. Just let me know:
a. number of photos, original pixel dimensions
b. any videos going into this slideshow, what format
c. is this going to be DVD-VIDEO standard 4:3 on DVD disc or DVD-VIDEO widescreen on DVD disc?
d. are you applying pans and zooms
e. what transitions are you using
f. what effects are you using
As reference point, what is the basic problem...playback quality of the DVD-VIDEO produced? Where are you playing it..on computer of TV DVD-Player or other.
I will go as basic or technical as you want so that we get the job done. If I write something and you think "What in the world is that person talking about?", do not hesitate to communicate that to me. It will not hurt my feelings. I will rewrite what you do not understand. But in sync follow up on both sides is important.
Whatever your decision, we wish you success.
Thanks.

Slideshow with Videos and Pictures

Hi!
I am trying to make a slideshow with photos and various short videos interspersed among the photos. I have a customized playlist for the slideshow so that there is music playing when the photos are being shown. My problem is that the music continues to play when the videos are playing which interferes with the audio in the video. Is there anyway to get the music to pause whenever there is a video playing?
Thanks!

Is there anyway to get the music to pause whenever there is a video playing?
Not in iPhoto, afaik. I Aperture it would be easy.
As a work-around you could use GarageBand to create a custom sound track that's fade in and out when your videos are shown, assuming you have the complete iLife package installed.
Export your Slideshow as movie.
To edit your sound track in GarageBand add the song files to the time line and arrange them,
Drag the slideshow movie to the Timeline, to see the positions of the videos and to help to get the timing right.
Delete the movie soundtrack.
Then show the master track (cmd-B) and enable the master volume.
Adjust the master volume curve to fade out the sound when you want silence.
Delete the movie track and share the sound track to iTunes.
Then add this track to the slideshow.

Creating Slideshow with audio

Hello!
I'm working on a Flash CS3 file (with Actionscript 3.0) and
I'm trying to create a slideshow with an audio track. I have 12
slide images and a 12 minute long audio presentation. I want to
pause the images for variable times during the presentation - 20
seconds during the first slide, 60 seconds for the second slide, 80
seconds for the third, etc. I've been able to write a script that
loops along the timeline for the given time over the image then
moves on to the next slide image. It works great if I don't want to
pause and restart the movie, but I'd like to do that.
I've been able to create a single button that pauses and
plays the sound. Here's the tutorial I used to create this:
http://twf23.wordpress.com/2008/02/06/start-and-stop-sound-with-actionscript-30/
But, I cannot get it to pause the timeline at the same time.
I can create a separate button that stops and starts the timeline.
I want one button to do both. It seems like I should be able attach
a function to the play_mc clip that also pause the timeline.
Eventually this will be a template for other such
presentations - where I can swap out the images and the audio thus
creating a PowerPoint-like slideshow for distribution on the
Internet.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
iMovie is a very straightforward way to do this.
Import your sound and your images, stitch them together and then export them in an iPod compatible format.
Job done.

Slideshow with high quality

I have a Photography Studio and I am trying to create client slideshows that display in very high quality. If I view the slideshow as created on iPhoto, the output is fantastic. If I burn a disc with iDVD (even on "Best Quality") the images as viewed from the DVD are not great. They become a little jaggy and some color shifting is evident. Not horrible, just not professional looking. My files are high quality .psd files. I have tried the process with high quality .jpg files, too.
Is the answer a PRO level DVD compression product? Voodoo????
I am at my wits end, but it was a short trip to get there.
Thanks for any and all help,
Louie

Hi,
I understand you want to create a DVD, right? Before you know how to get the best quality, you must choose what software to use . You can build slideshows using just DVD Studio Pro (DVDSP Folrum) and/or in a video timeline with FinalCutPro (FCP Forum).
Each soft need a different approach ! You'll find a lot of posts with useful information in that forums and you can post your own when you decide what tool use for your project.
If you want to build simple slideshows with just a transition or no transition at all, where the people can choose next prev and so picture, you can use DVDSP.
If you want a more sofisticated presentation where you can control completly adnvanced trasitions and zoom/pan effects, you need to create it in a video application like FCP.
You posted this question in Compressor forum, what is a tool for transcoding your video footage to, i.e. MPEG2 files to include in DVDSP.
About quality, think that Standard Definition DVDs have a resolution of 720x480 pixels (NTSC) what probably is absolutly low resolution compared with your original pictures, but doesn't mean your pictures will look bad. Any comercial movie DVD you watch has that resolution ! The advantage is that every DVD player (computer and stan alone ones) will be able to play it.
When you mention the iPhoto slideshow, I think you mean a slideshow you played directly from your computer what is a completly different approach that DVD.
I just want to give a start point.

How to: Horizontal slideshow with parts of previous and next images

I want to make a slideshow with 6 images in it. The centre image is fully visible, the previous and next images, you can only see parts of it. When you click on the button for previous and next the image swipes tot the centre. Is this possible in Muse, and how???
I dont want to show the slideshow in the full background( yellow area in the screenshot) but only in the main container.(see image below)

"Previous" and "Next" buttons are for selecting the next or previous menu in a series of submenus for multiple chapter selection. Look at the options for indexing that creates multiple submenus for the chapters in a timeline.

How to convert PDF slideshow with audio to a format playable on devices of today?

I have several old slideshows (10-15 years old) that I created with Photoshop Album and are PDF files and can only be played with Acrobat Reader 5. I kept Acrobat Reader 5 on my computer and never updated so that I can play these slideshow files. The slideshows are very special to me and I would like to keep them and pass on to younger generations. However, I cannot share my slideshows with others since they cannot be played with the PDF format. Is there a software for converting these PDF files to .wmv or other format to make the slideshows playable on devices today?
I have been searching for an answer to this question for several years. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Creating a slideshow with Keynote

Is there a simple tutorial somewhere showing how to create a slideshow with music in Keynote?
I tried the Help menu and the PDF instructions that come with Keynote, but could find no simple instructions for a newbie to follow.

If you have individual music tracks you want associated with specific photographs, you can Build each track into a slide and then Build the photographs into the same slide. Then, you can set the photo Builds to be "automatic" so that they will be loosely synchronized with the music. (I emphasize "loosely" because the speed of Builds is not absolute, and varies with the processor speed from computer to computer, so it is not possible to have absolute synchronization with this procedure.)
If you simply want to have a slideshow, with music running in the background, you can do as Tulse has described: create the music playlist in iTunes and Record it as a Soundtrack in the Inspector/Documents/Audio menu. This also will allow you to "Record" the Builds and Transitions in sync with the music. CAVEAT: this will playback properly ONLY as a stand-alone Keynote presentation. This does not seem to retain sync when exported to another format, or even when played as a Keynote presentation via a Hyperlink.
Another possibility is to create the slideshow and establish a timeline for the Builds and Transitions. Then in Garage Band (or any other music editing software) you can create a music track timed to the slideshow and then import it (via iTunes) into Keynote as a Soundtrack.
It all depends on what you are trying to accomplish as to which is the most appropriate method (or series of procedures) that will work best for you. However, as Tulse has said, there is no tutorial on this subject. Trial-and-error and a little hands-on experience will be your tutors.

Creating a slideshow with narration

Hi,
I'm wanting to make a slideshow with narration over it recorded from a digital recorder. It looks like there are different apps/options for doing this but I'm wondering what the best way to go about it is. I guess my main concern would be just making sure the narration lines up with the slides. I'm a newbie to dealing with photos on a mac so any info is greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.

I guess my main concern would be just making sure the narration lines up with the slides.
Are you planning to burn the slideshow to DVD or simply view it on your Mac? If the former, then I would recommend you build your slideshow in iMovie 6. (If your Mac came with iLife '08 then you can download iMovie 6 free from Apple. It has better control of the audio track than iMovie 7.) That way you can see how your audio track lines up with your photos. You can edit the audio track somewhat in iMovie 6 (fade in, fade out) and lock an audio clip to a particular spot in the video timeline, to keep them synced the way you want.
You can also use GarageBand to edit the audio track of an iMovie project. I haven't tried this so can't comment on the advantages of this over doing it all within iMovie 6.
Many people complain that when using iPhoto to match the timing of their iTunes playlist to the timing of the slideshow that after exporting to iDVD the timing is not retained. That's another reason to use iMovie - the relationship between the video and audio tracks will be retained when you import the movie into iDVD.
Regards.

Exporting Slideshows with Aperture

I am a professional wedding photographer just starting to use Aperture.
I currently deliver DVD slideshows to my clients instead of paper proofs. I use an action and an apple script in Photoshop to batch all the files from a wedding to have a black border around them and display the file name in the black border below the file. I must have the file name because, that is how my clients place there order. I then use DVD Studio Pro to group my slides into groups of 99 and create slideshows with DVD Studio Pro.
Is there a way to use Aperture to automate this process? I would like to select the images that I want, have Aperture size them for NTSC, display the file name so that it is readable and not cropped out of a standard TV screen, and then create slideshows in iDVD or DVD Studio Pro for me. I would also like to put a signature on the bottom right corner of each photograph.
I know this is asking a lot, but I REALLY need something like this to speed up my process and bring a new look to my work. Any suggestions?
Kevin Hawkins

kevin:
aperture has automator actions for exporting images from albums (at any one of the export preset sizes). you could, with a little scripting expertise, convert the photoshop applescript that you have now into an autmator action. (i have several automator actions that i've built that feed images into photoshop.) then it would be a matter of building an automator workflow that sets everything up in the right sequence and pressing run.
if you need help getting this done, visit my web site and on the "about me" page, you'll find some contact info (including email address).

Does Premeire Elements 11 make a slideshow with different background themes?

Does Premeire Elements 11 make a slideshow with different background themes?

Em Smither
Do you actually have Premiere Elements 11 Windows at this time? And, have you used any prior version of the program? I ask so that I van gauge how deeply to go into different aspects of the program. So, please excuse if I generalize now on matters that you already are aware of.
Premiere Elements is a video editor that will support the use of your own stills and video and music on its Timeline tracks to export to file or
burn to disc.
The Instant Movie can be broken apart once created. And,that Instant Movie feature is editable, leaving components that you want, adding others, and removing others, and you can include your own music in it.
But if you prefer to start from the beginning you can import your photos and music and then add your own assets to the tracks..title templates, backgrounds, etc probably along the line of what one of those Instant Movies would be aimed at. But, I do not see a choice for selecting a particular theme for the slideshow other than that. However, there is an opportunity to select a theme for the disc menus if the export is a burn to disc or part of the webDVD feature.
Did you have in mind, something like placing a theme based background on Video 1 and then on upper tracks directly above scaling your photos so that the background can be seen around them?
Please let me know if I am still not targeting your question.
Thanks.

IMovie still photo slideshow with theme - how?

(Sorry this question should've been posted in the iMovie HD 6 forum, so I have re-posted it there, but I don't know how to delete this post here, sorry for the double post. If you do have an answer for this question, please feel free to answer here, thanks!)
Hi I'm new to Mac, and I'm trying to make a photo slideshow with iMovie 6 HD. I wanted to use a theme for the opening, bumper, credit, etc.
From my understanding, I put the photos in the drop zone, put in the titles, and apply and drop the theme into the timeline. Then I drop the photos into the timeline as desire to continue the slideshow. However, problem arise as the animated theme ends, it doesn't connect with the photos that follow. For example, if I put 6 photos in the opening and as the opening animation ends, it zooms into photo #6 and it ends right there. I assume then I should drop photo #6 right after the opening theme, is that right? Problem is that the zoom level doesn't match and there will be a very obvious jump from the opening to the next photo! The same also happen to the beginning and ending of bumpers, and such.
Am I missing something? How do you make the transition smooth? Could somebody point me to some tutorials, threads, or provide some advice on how to create a photo slideshow with themes?
Thanks in advance.
Message was edited by: mechael

Hi,
I need an answer pretty quickly; maybe I can rephrase the question and make it simpler...
How do you match the beginning/ending of a theme animation to match the photo before/after it, so that it doesn't look like it jumped?
Thanks.
