Play MPG in iphoto slideshows

-Im using iPhoto09
-I have movie files off my video camera, they were .mod files, i renamed them to .mpg so they work with quicktime.
-But for some reason they wont play in iphoto slideshows, and just show the first still frame of movie
how do i get these files to work automaticlly in slideshows??? free video codec package?

You’ll need to convert the file into a mov or something that iPhoto can work with first.
This can be done with MPEG Streamclip.

Playing video in iPhoto slideshow

hi,
I'm regularly recording video with my digital camera that is transfered to iPhoto along with all pictures. The problem is that these videos don't play when I present a slideshow of an event in my computer or in AppleTV.
I used Visual Hub to convert the .avi to .mp4 files optimized for iTunes but still these converted videos won't show up in an iPhoto slideshow. Is this a non-feature of the program or I'm doing something wrong? Can I sync videos from an iPhoto album and see them in my AppleTV?
Thank you!

You cannot play video as part of an iPhoto slideshow. PhotoPresenter is an app that allows this.

I cannot get music to play on my iPhoto slideshows.

Using OSX, itunes 10 and iphoto 9 .
I cannot get music to play on iphoto slideshows. It never used to be a problem before OS10.
Desperate and would really appreciate any help.
many thanks

You may access your iTunes music iin iphoto
You may also access it in other apps - like iMovie
If - for some reason - you can access the music in iMovie but not in iPhoto, then the issue is with iPhoto.
If you can't access it in either then the issue is with iTunes.

Playing movie in iphoto slideshow

Many thanks for your response.

Can't play music in iPhoto slideshow in Quicktime

Hi,
I created a slideshow in iPhoto and added a song as a sound track. I exported it according to the instructions in the Help, but when I play it in QuickTime, there is no music. What am I doing wrong? The Quicktime Help says I should be able to choose whether or not to include the background music, but I'm not seeing that option anywhere.
Thanks for any help!

Is the audio track one you purchased from iTunes and is DRM protected? If so then the protection prevents the audio from getting included in the QT movie file.
If you have Quicktime Pro 7 and Quicktime Player 7 you can add the movie to the audio track to get what you want.

Music doesn't play in my iPhoto Slideshows on my new MacBook Pro

I have a new MacBook Pro. My photos, albums, slideshows, etc. transferred fine. However, when I play my slideshows, one of which I need to edit before Christmas, the music will not play. The music is still there and I have the volume turned all of the way up, but nothing comes out of the speakers. I've looked for settings that may be muting it, but cannot find any. I have severla of my slideshows in iTunes and the music plays just fine. It was also fine on my prior MacBookPro. I cannot figure out why I can't hear the music in my slideshows in iPhoto on my new MacBook Pro.

Try open iTunes and doing File -> Library -> Organize Library...
You'd better post this at Macbook Pro Communiry:

How to Play music from Garageband in iPhoto slideshow

Hi
Just started learning to use Garageband to "stitch" some songs together to play in the iPhoto slideshow.
1. When in iPhoto slideshow, there is an option to select the "stitched" song from source "Garageband" - but, the music does not play when the slideshow runs.
In fact, in the music window - the "stitched" song is listed under source "Garageband" with no time.
BUT,
2. when in "Garageband" - under "Share" I send song to iTunes - the "stitched" song appears in source "iTunes" which I can select in iPhoto and it will play with the slideshow.
Does anyone know, what step I did not complete for the first option above to work. I guess, it has something to do with "making it share in iLife" - but I cannot find where is that option.
Loom forward to hear from someone.
Regards

Audio problems with iphoto slideshow

hi there,
i made a 9 minute photo slideshow in itunes synched to 2 songs (one directly after the other). then i wanted to post it online (facebook, youtube, etc) for my friends and family to see. BUT, when i do so, the second song does not play even though the slideshow of pictures continues.
both songs play in the iphoto slideshow and on the exported .mov file in quicktime when you watch them. this problem only occurs when posting it online and then watching that posted file online.
any ideas why these sites arent recognizing that there is a second song that follows the first?
thanks a lot...

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You did select just the playlist and not the track in the playlist, right? Are any of the tracks from the iTunes store and are you running the latest Quicktime?
Do you Twango?
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.

I exported a iphoto slideshow to desktop, converted it to mpg file by using BURN app, burned to DVD and exported to a USB flashdrive. The DVD looks great but flashdrive is extremely fuzzy. What is the difference and how can I make flashdrive sharper?

I exported an iphoto slideshow to desktop, converted it to mpg file by using the BURN app, burned it to a DVD and exported it to a USB flash drive. The DVD looks great and very sharp but the slideshow on the USB flash drive is extremely fuzzy. What is the difference and how can I make the slideshow on the flash drive look as sharp as the DVD?

Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

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!

I am trying to burn DVDs from iPhoto slideshows. My pictures number in the hundreds and we know that iPhoto captures 99 and then "starts over". This plays fine from the Mac Book but glitches arise on the DVD when playing it on a DVD player. Any suggsts

I am trying to burn DVDs from iPhoto slideshows. My pictures number in the hundreds and we know that iPhoto captures 99 and then "starts over". This plays fine from the Mac Book but glitches arise on the DVD when playing it on a DVD player. Any suggestions on how to overcome the 99 "Chapter limitation" that IPhoto has? Has anyone heard or tried an app called Vilisoft? I read good things but I am not sure if it will do what I want.
Jim

Then use multipel 99 picture slideshows.
You can have up to 8 or 9 slideshows per menu. If you add a sub menu reduce that by 1 and add 8 more to the sub menu. The top menu can have links to up to 8 or so submenus (depends on the theme) and each submenu can have up to 8 or so slideshows.
However, converting a very large slideshow to a QT movie as Terence suggested does not envoke the 99 slide limit in iDVD. It just becomes a single video/movie file. So you should not have a problem with exporting at the large size, 720 x 540,
and dragging the resulting file into the iDVD menu being sure to avoid any drop zones.

Problem Playing iPhoto slideshow on AirPlay

I am attempting to play my iPhoto slideshow (created on my MacAir) on my Sony HD 50 inch screen using AirPlay and my Apple TV. The resolution of the phtos is very low on the HD screen (I can see pixels) yet if I just show the photo directly (not in the slideshow) the resolution is fine. These are photos taken with a Nikon D200 and are high resolution. It seems to be a specifc problem for the slideshow function
I would apprecaite any advice - all software on the computer and the Apple TV are updated.

OK, but when I tried to do that, I could show an album, but not a premade slideshow with animation and titles etc - the only choices were albums/events/photos. Did I miss something in the "Home Sharing" setup.
Thanks

ITunes music not playing in iPhoto slideshow after upgrading to Maverick....Why?

iTunes music not playing in iPhoto slideshow after upgrading to Maverick....Why?

Yes, the tracks were purchased in the iTunes store. I'm sure that DRM is the culprit. Seems like an obvious answer now that I think about it.
Thanks for the help.

Exporting an iphoto slideshow to play in the iphone

Hello - any ideas how i can get a iphoto slideshow exported to play on an iphone.
If you export an iMovie - under the share option there is an export movie option, and then you can choose the iphone format?
Many thanks

Do you have Quicktime Pro? If you do you can add the movie to the audio track, scaling it to match the track's length, and export for iPhone.

What video format is needed to play videos in an iPhoto slideshow?

I would like to use pictures and video to play throughout the slideshow however, the pictures play fine but the video just shows a blank black screen when I play. Is there a certain format that the videos must be in for them to register in a slideshow. Please note, that the videos play fine in iPhoto regularly, the issue arrises when I put them in a slideshow. Can anyone help me please?
Thank you,

That's above my pay grade but look at these topics:
Linear PCM, Animation codec MOV files...: Apple Support Communities
iMovie 11 and Jpeg Linear PCM. (Codecs).: Apple Support ...
Codec: MPEG-2 Video, Linear PCM doesn't...: Apple Support Communities
Also if you haven't installed it yet try Perian - The swiss-army knife of QuickTime® components The download button is down the page a bit.
