Play all slideshows

I have three slideshows on one DVD. I wanted to put music to the slideshows and since the iDVD is automatically set to run the slideshow in the time allotted to the music, I had to create 3 slideshows or find a 12 minute song. The bottom line is, is there any way to play all three slideshows using 3 different songs without having to go back to the menu. Essentially autoplay 3 different slideshows

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. No really. If you create the slideshows in iPhoto with music and send to iDVD you can put the three QT files that are created in the process into an iDVD slideshow and they will play sequentially.
After you Share->Send to iDVD from iPhoto you can close iDVD without saving and find your movie in the Movies folder. Do that for each of the three slideshows and then add the three to an iDVD slideshow as indicated above.

Multi-Slideshow DVD - Play All Slideshows on Menu

Burned a DVD with 6 slideshows (6 menu buttons). When selecting any menu button, only that specific slideshow plays and then returns to the menu. How can I configure so that all slideshows automatically play in succession when a menu button is selected? Example: If Button 1 is selected, slideshows 1 - 6 will play and then return to the menu after slideshow 6. All suggestions/advice is greatly appreciated.

it's iDvd's big brother and part of Final Cut Studio 2 (it's a bit more expensive than iDvd or Toast as well as having a longer learning curve). Essentially it's Apple's top end DVD authoring software.
I have an older standalone version (DVDSP3) which works well on a G4 733 Digital Audio Power Mac. And in the past, that's the way apple sold the Pro Apps (individually).
Today things are a bit different.
Apple has since chosen to bundle the pro apps into a suite of apps called Final Cut Studio 2. It contains apple's Final Cut Pro 6, Compressor, DVDSP 4, Motion 3, Color, etc. (not sure if apple still includes a QT Pro Key or not. If not then it's about $30 extra and can be activated via QT Pro Registration process).

Exported Slideshow to Quicktime Won't Play All Music

I've just finished a slideshow that I've exported to Quicktime in iPhoto 5. When I play the slideshow from iPhoto, the two music pieces I've selected from a folder in iTunes (the two tunes are the only items in the particular folder I've selected), only the FIRST song plays in the Quicktime movie -- the second half of the slideshow is mysteriously quiet. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Anne

Hi annelouise,
Only one song exporting with Slideshows
Right now, this seems to be a know problem/bug. There have been some work-arounds. Don't know if the problem is with iPhoto, Quicktime or a combo of both.
-From Bob Worthington: re-ripping the cuts I wanted as background music for the DVD as a single cut in iTunes. I then made a playlist containing the one extended cut of music.
-Old Toad: share to Quicktime from iPhoto and then import the resulting movie into iMovie you can extract and delete the audio from the video and add the two songs to the video and save.
Quicktime Pro-open the movie and bring up the Movie Properties menu window. In the top window select the audio track and delete it.
If you want more than one song you'll have to join them together with iMovie or some other application. Then open that joined file with QT Player. Then do a select all and copy. Now go to the QT window of the movie and select the Edit->Add to Movie menu option. You don't want to scale it because it will change the play speed of the audio unless it's time is exactly the same as the movie.
You could go the other way, open the movie, select all and copy, and then past with scaling to the audio. That will change the speed of the movie and transitions to fit the audio track. In this case the resulting video file will have the name of the audio track file that you started with.
You may have to play with it a bit to get exactly what you want. Be sure to work with copies of all the media files for the project.
-Peter Burtwistle: I opened the Qt movie that iPhoto makes when you export to iDVD and removed the sound track.
Then made a new soundtrack by opening all three songs in QT, then cutting and pasting them together.
Finally use QT Pro's 'Add to Movie" option to add the soundtrack to the original movie.
This worked well and was fast to do too.
-Joe Lombardo: I ended up having to extend the songs by 20 seconds so I brought them all into GarageBand and made some edits. Then I exported them all to iTunes as a single track and used that for the slideshow
From scotty321 at MacOSXHints.com: If you have Roxio Toast Titanium installed on your machine, you can join unprotected tracks yourself by simulating a disc burn. Simply take these steps:
Go to the Audio tab in Toast.
Drag your audio files from iTunes into Toast.
Reshuffle them in the proper order within Toast.
Go up to File: Save As Disc Image. Save your disc image somewhere on your Desktop.
Choose Utilities: Mount Disc Image. The CD will mount on your desktop, and iTunes will think that you just inserted a CD.
Within iTunes, select the tracks that you want to join and then use Advanced: Join CD Tracks.
Go through the import process, and you've got a joined track! Simply rename the track to whatever you want to call it, and you're good to go.
From Lori...
Burn the playlist in iTunes.
Make sure you have itunes Prefs just open the Cd and not automatically play or import the songs.
Insert the burned CD and iTunes will open.
Within iTunes, select the tracks that you want to join and then use Advanced: Join CD Tracks.
Go to Advanced>convert selection to AAC.
When done, make a new playlist named after the slideshow.
Put the new combined track into the playlist.
In iPhoto, select this playlist for your slideshow.

How to get slideshow to Pause and restart with auto play enabled? all slideshow do not restart!

How to get slideshow to Pause and restart with auto play enabled? Happening in all slideshow do not restart once one photo is selected

I agree cwclark, I was going to ask the exact same thing, and yes, the only way to 'restart' the auto play is to reload the page which is frustrating to say the least. Every other site I've seen with this kind of 'auto-play' slide show still auto-plays even after clicking the 'next' or 'previous' buttons. Adobe, you need to get a fix for this ASAP

In scene selection mode, can you make iDVD return to the scene selection menu after playing that scene without continuing to play all the other scenes?

After selecting one scene from the scene selection menu, the following scenes play automatically, as if it were in "play movie" mode. Is there a way to stop that behavior and have the DVD return to the scene selection menu after playing just the selected scene?

OK
So what You want is a "Play All" button resp. a "Play one Chapter at a time" one.
Then
BAD News - There are Non ! in iDVD
GOOD News - it can in part be faked.
read on
Play all resp. one chapter at a time
Play All Button
1. There are NO - Play All - button in any version of iDVD
2. It can be faked in several ways
• Easiest and most fault proof way is to make a doublet movie containing All and with
Chapters set to match. It will take up x2 space but is easy to understand and produce.
Cons: Tried this in iMovie’11 by Exporting out each part as a full Quality QT.mov then Importing back into new events and putting these into a new project (Play All project). Resulting DVD had Audio that was OK (as parts) - BUT the picture was very bad and standing photo were cut of in height. So the Play All movie has to be created from same material and exactly in the same way as the individual parts + then Chapters has to be set to match.
• It's said that one can put all movies into a Photo/SlideShow and this will also
give the function of a Play All button - Tested - and ONE HAS TO un-cheque - Scale pictures to TV-Safe area else it will be a black frame all around and a small picture !
Mike Evangelist1
You might be able to get close to what you want by using a slideshow in iDVD. (It's not widely known, but you can put videos in a slideshow.) If you set the slide duration to manual, playback will pause after each movie/slide, and you can continue with the 'next' button.
3. Using another program to do this e.g.. Roxio Toast™ where there is a Play All button option.
Summary
a. Making a Play All movie with same care as the individual Part movies - gives a very Good Result
b. Using Roxio Toast™ - also an usable way to go

Apple TV no longer plays iPhoto slideshows (individually)

I have been using AppleTV for a couple of years, primarily to play iPhoto slideshows to music on our TV's. With a recent update (either to Apple TV, iTines or iPhoto, not sure, but I think it changed after an Apple TV update) we can no longer watch our individual iPhoto slideshows (By individual slide shows, I mean we used to be able to choose what slide show or album we wanted to play with music on the Apple TV. i.e.: vacation slideshow, birthday slideshow, Christmas slideshow, etc...) Now when you select what photos you want to share in iTunes, I check those albums & slideshows I want available but some do not appear on Apple TV and those that do appear are automatically combined (for example it will combine Vacation and Christams slideshows into one massive slide show and their is no way to select one or the other.) Until a month or two ago this was not the case. I know I can create slideshows and save them to iMovie/iTunes or burn to disc but I do not want to do that, I like keeping them in iPhoto so they can constantly be added to and altered, thats the fun of it!
Any ideas or known fixes would be appriciated. I love how Apple is always changing things for the better, but every so often they update software and end up taking away features that I use! It can be frustrating!
Thanks in adavnce for your help!

I cannot figure out how to move or convert an existing 'slideshow' to an 'album'. (in the end, all I really need to do is move the pix from a given slideshow to an album so I can view it as a slide show on Apple TV) I don't mind if the slideshows are shuffled on the TV as long as I can keep each slide show seperate. I basically use my iPhoto slideshows as a drop off point so we can watch them on Aplle TV. I never really do much with them in iPhoto except add new photos to existing shows now and then, I had the slideshows set to shuffle on Apple TV anyway. If I could figure out how to convert each slide show to its own album that would probably work. (re-creating each slide show is not a good option since some of my family slideshows contain hundreds or in some cases over a thousand photos). I've tried dragging the slide show to "albums" catagory but that doesnt work.
Thank you for the quick response!

In IOS 7, can I play a slideshow of my entire photo collection?

I can't seem to find an answer to this. In the new Photos app in IOS 7 I can't find a way to play a slideshow of all my photos. I can only play slideshows of specific albums (not all) or create customized slideshows by selecting individual photos (way too tedious).
Someone mentioned playing a slideshow of the Camera Roll album, however that album only contains about 60 images. Not my entire collection of over 2000 images.
Further, has the slideshow option from the lockscreen been removed as well? I used to use my iPad as a digital photo frame, but I can no longer find that option in IOS 7.
Any help anybody can provide is appreciated.
(for reference, I'm using IOS version 7.0.3 which was released on or about Oct 23rd)
Thanks

The digital photo frame in the lock screen has apparently been removed. Your best best is to create a slide show in the photos app.

How to play a slideshow (with movies) from Iphoto to Apple TV second gen

Hi,
Does anyone know how to play a slideshow with movies, that I normally play perfect with Iphoto (I even can add music)to let it stream to the Apple tv second gen?
So I have some movies on Imac from a holiday in Egypt and Iphoto alows me let it play as a movie.
How can I setup my Apple TV so that it is the same on my Apple TV? So with nice fade ins and outs?
Thanks

Ok Thank you, but I have one more question.
The Iphoto library is loaded with different movies and Photos. They are sorted by date.
Is there a possibily to make folders in Iphoto. So that I have on folder called for example "vacation Egypt" and put all the movies in this folder within Iphoto?
And then when I select this map it will make a slideshow from all this movies with music? Just like in Iphoto?

Is there a 'Play All' option for DVD menu?

Hi,
I was hoping someone can possibly help here... I have created a DVD menu in iDVD with 8 separate movie items each with their own button (with underlined feature), but with no sub menus or additional pages.
Incidentally, these items are home movies, transfered from old Hi8 tapes, edited in iMovie then added to iDVD.
The 8 items have all successfully loaded to the iDVD menu and will play when each item is selected (in test mode).
However, I was hoping to also add a 'Play All' button so that the whole DVD content can be played as one continuous piece if required, rather than being limited to being able to play only individual items at a time and then having to return to the menu page in order to select the next item.
Please can anyone offer any help here? I'm very new to Macs/iDVD etc so simple, basic guidance would be much appreciated!!!
Many thanks,
Robin-UK

Hi Robin
Welcome to apple discussions. I use Toast (personal choice only) in this situation since it has a play all check box. But then you don't get the fancy menus.
Click Here
There is no such check box within iDvd for selecting play all but you can set up iDvd's preferences to address scene selection menus when a movie/s is added. And here's how you do that:
A second option might involve adding the 8 separate movies to the slideshow feature within iDvd for continuous play. And yes you can add photos as well as movies to idvd's slideshow feature with a number of added benefits which I won't go into here. But if you want more info on this procedure just look at a few of Old Toad's prior posts / replies on this iDvd forum.

Play All Videos?

Hi,
Is there some way to have all the videos play in order?
For example I have about 10 videos imported into iDVD
that I'd like to have setup so that if you click
the first one it would play thru to the next ones
without going back to the menu.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Carl

Can Keynote play PowerPoint slideshows with audio intact?

I mean iOS Keynote on iPad and OS X Keynote on Mac OS X! To play PowerPoint slideshows with built in audio and not just throw up slides.

Keynote isn't at all good at dealing with audio, so whether it's worth trying largely depends on the content of your powerpoints and how many you need to transfer.
If it were me, I think I'd look at using OpenOffice - it may make a better job of things for you.

Safari 3.1.2 will not play iweb slideshows

Hi All
I have never done this, so I hope I ask the right question.
Safari on my G5 will not play any slideshows, made with iWeb. And this is not a problem only with my websites, but from others too! I have two pc's at home as well and I have checked in different places. The slideshows are playing OK on those machines. I have been trying to get this resolved for weeks now, trying to find answers on forums, but haven't found any. And 'yes' I have turned plugins etc, on in the prefs. Hope someone can help.
Harry

Hi Toni, and a warm welcome to the forums!
In the Safari Menu, Empty Caches, quit Safari, then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.

Play all slideshows
