Playing Slideshow with numerous photo pages

I have 5 different photo pages on my iweb site. I split them up so the load time would be quicker. Is there any way to play the slideshow and include all the photos on every one of the 5 pages? Right now, you have to play the slideshow on each seperate page.

I don't know of a way to do this with the Apple enhanced slideshow. The best thing I can think of is to have direct links to your slideshows on one page. This would make things a little simpler for viewers in that they wouldn't have to open up each photo page just to get to the slideshow...
You can link directly to your slideshows using the following URL format...
http://web.mac.com/username/iWeb/sitename/photopagename_files/slideshow.html
Replace:
username = your .Mac account username
sitename = your sitename as set in iWeb
photopagename = the name you gave to each photo page
You can put links for the slideshows on a page like "Slideshow Part One", "Slideshow Part Two", etc... Maybe you don't even need people to see the actual photo pages at all...just link them to the slideshows!

Slideshow NOT on Photo page

Is it possible in iWeb 08? I want to have a slideshow available on my Welcome page and not have to force visitors to click to another page to see it. In an ideal world, I'd want to have a video as well: am I limited to only having such media on the template pages dedicated to each media type? This is kind of a deal breaker for my site . . . Thanks for any guidance!

No. Even though you can copy and past the thumbnail box with the slideshow from a photos page to a welcome page when you publish the graphic files used for the forward, back and other controls of the page do not get carried over. Also I found that the slideshow window didn't size properly to include the thumbnail tray at the bottom. This is what I ended up with for a quick demo: Modern Theme Welcome page with photo page contents pasted into it.
Why not use a flash based slideshow on the welcome page. Here are a number of examples that can be added and scaled to suit your needs:
SimpleViewer and Flash Album Exporter
Flash Album Exporter Postcard and AutoViewer Slideshow Themes
Jalbum - there are over 100 skins/themes for Jalbum. It's free

What is the best software for burning a large slideshow with 500 photos and music to DVD?

What is the best software for burning a large slideshow with 500 photos and music to DVD?

Are you talking about strictly burning an already put-together slideshow or composing one and then burning it?
My all time favorite slide show maker is Photo to Movie; you can then burn it from there or get it into iMovie and/or iDVD for the "finishing" touch. My favorite burn software is Toast, although you can use iMovie, iDVD, and Finder as well.

Full screen slideshow with 2 photos

Hi,
I would like to know how to create a full sceen slideshow with two clikable photo inside, like this website : http://www.eturaweddings.com
Thanks for your help
David

Hi David
This would be a bit tricky as you have to use a fullscreen widget , accordion and tooltip or any other composition inside accordion or you can use different pages to render similar effect.
So for example
- Insert fullscreen widget
- Insert Accordion with page width ( Use same image which is used for fullscreen )
- Insert a tooltip where the trigger would be half size of target container and setup the action on mouse click ( you have adjust the trigger and target in layers panel )
Sorry but that would be the workaround , I know a bit lengthy one.
Or you can create separate pages where you can use fullscreen widget for different pages using same images.
Additionally you can try to use slideshows in Muse exchange library :

Help with the Photos Page?

I posted about this problem a little time ago, but now am not sure what to do.
When I get a photo page up and place by web banner, it is out of sync with all my other pages - and it shows.
I compared it with setting the page up with a blank page and I can see that the problem is that whilst the text box in the blank page will move up and down and adjust individually, the text box in the header on the photo page will not move individually. When I grab the bottom to move it, the whole box moves, instead of up and down.
How can I solve this and what can I do? I would like to use the photo page to display some diagrams that I have and this would make a better job of it than a blank page.
Any ideas anyone? I have come to the end of everything I have tried to do. I did try altering the size, but then I had problems with the navigation bar. The banner was in sync, but then the navigation bar was out with all the rest. I am getting fed up with this.
Help?

Well, I had already taken the navigation bar off display because it was in the wrong place for me, so I created my own instead. I have been back and unchecked the box to include in navigation menu on all the pages and tried the photo page again and it is still slightly out with all the other pages, but just not as much this time.
With the blank pages, you seem to be able to drag the edges of the text box and they will move independently, however, when you try the same thing on the photos page it won't do the same thing. It moves as a whole rather than individually, so that means that the text moves too and once that has happened there is no way to alter that. You can't click the box and move the text up and down. The only way is to move the box.
I like to keep my site looking tidy and with all the pages roughly the same, so this is annoying. I don't have photos, but diagrams and they do look better displayed on a photo page. They are spaced and sized accurately and more so than I can do them myself on a blank page.
Is there any way that you can put the photo template onto a blank page?
No everyone wants to put photos on a website or use photo page banners.

Can AppleTV play slideshow with photos AND video?

Most of my iPhoto albums contain some .MOV clips that will not play when I sync the album to Apple TV. Is that a problem of the video file format or Apple TV does not have this feature?
Thank you!

If your slideshows contain video, they won't play on the tv.
Typically if your albums contains both video and stills, they should be saved as a movie not a slideshow

Playing slideshow with music

Is it possible to have music playing in the background while watching picture slideshow. I have selected the songs in iphoto, but for some reason, still not playing.
Help please.
'Thanks
Carrene

Move the first slide to another location in the show and try again. If it still stalls at the first slide try creating a new slideshow, use some of the same photos to see if it will transition past the first slide.
If the above fails make a duplicate copy of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your Home()/ Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences..

What is the best program to create a rehearsal dinner slideshow with audio, photos, and text?

I am about to make a slideshow/movie for my sister's wedding that includes photos, music, and text/titles. Is imovie the best for this? keynote? or perhaps some other app I am unaware of? Thanks for your input!

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:

I haven't rried using Keynote, but that may also be a possibility.

Creating a slideshow with 500+ photos

I am trying to create a slideshow that will run continuously with over 500 photos and burn it to a DVD. Is there any way to do this in iDVD? I want to be able to use the titles of the photos also. I tried doing it in iMovie, but when I added a title to the photo, it did not keep the title on the photo for the entire time. It split the photo into 2 parts, with the title and without.

I put all of the photos into iMovie, added a title to each photo using the "Music Video" title and it split the photo. I tried to edit it and make it last the lenght of the clip and everything got completely messed up. Only parts of the title would show up on some, a photo would just flash in-between regular photos, and many other errors.
Is there any way for me to do the same in iDVD? I know it limits the number of photos to 99 per slideshow, but can I make them run continuously?
Thank you,
Julie

How do I create a slideshow with selected photos on my iPad2

I want to create a slideslow using selected photos (not all photos) from the photos that I've imported to my iPad. Can you tell me how to do this?

You will need to use the computer that you sync with, running the most recent version of iTunes. Connect the iPad to the computer, click on the iPad name on the left, click on the Summary Pane of the iTunes window on the right, and then click on the Check for Update button.
This explains it as well.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
You can use any computer to update, but you will lose everything that you have on your iPad, so that's why you really should use your own syncing computer.
I recommend this as well ....
What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
However, iTunes should ask if you want to backup before you update, but just in case create the backup yourself before you update. The backup contains your app data and settings - along with other items - so make sure you backup first.
If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.

Automatically playing slideshow in iWeb help.

Hi all.
I am creating my first site in iWeb and in the home page would like an image slideshow to automatically play once the page is displayed. Custom dimensions, no thumbnails or text, just 4 or 5 pictures, automatically changing. Help! I have iMovie, Adobe Fireworks (on a pc laptop) and dont want the Quicktime 'Q' displayed either. Yr experienced advice much appreciated.

Photo Page - Clicking on thumbnail launches slideshow

Let me preface this by say that I'm using iWeb without a .mac account and just publishing to my Sites folder.
Whenever I create a photo page, the thumbnails that I click automatically launch a slideshow window. I've seen a bunch of iWeb example sites where clicking on the thumbnail image pops open a window with the just larger sized image (which is what I would like to happen).
Can I not do this b/c I'm not using .mac, or is there something else that I'm missing?
Thanks for any help!

Can I not do this b/c I'm not using .mac, or is there something else that I'm missing?
That's it exactly. This Knowledge Base document spells it out. Excerpt: 'iWeb Photo pages published to .Mac have special controls and other features that are not available when publishing to a folder. To take full advantage of iWeb's slideshows, publish your photo pages to .Mac.'
What you're seeing is the old HomePage behaviour. Check out this post if you'd like to use an excellent alternative slideshow.

Photo Pages: TIFF Format Doesn't Work?

I just published an iWeb site with 3 photo pages in it. All of the photos were in TIFF format. I found that when the site was viewed via Safari (or IE in Windows) the photos looked horrible...pixellated...slideshows didn't work, etc.).
I then tried re-publishing the site and got the same results.
My next step was to convert all of the TIFF photos into JPEG format and republish the site again. This seemed to do the trick, as now all of the photos look good, and the slideshows now work.
If, as I'm guessing, iWeb doesn't play well with TIFF images, why are we allowed to use them...shouldn't iWeb warn against this?
Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi Mike ...
I think this byte order thing is probably the same for most (all?) multi-platform raw converters. I've checked this with Bibble and ACR. If I drag a converted tiff into iWeb the displays messed up. If I then load into PS and do a "save as" you get the dialogue which lets you choose pc/mac byte order and checking the mac option fixes things. Similarly doing a "save as" out of Preview saves in mac order.
Hopefully they'll fix it in an update.
Regards, Roman
