PLS HELP...making a slide show to VCD

good day. i just arrived from europe and now i have around 700 pics. i plan to make a vcd of all these pics with a song so that when i present it, it would become more lively. is there anyway where in i can insert text, fix the transition of slides, insert a couple of songs and burn this project into vcd format? please help... i plan to show all these pictures to my family during a special occassion. can i do this with i movie or straight from iphoto? is it difficult? my friend told me that it is very easy... please help...

Hi,
since you mentioned iMovie I assume you're talking about a DVD with slideshows, not a VCD?
You can create a slideshow with music and transitions in iPhoto and then export them to iDVD by selecting Share->Send to iDVD.
There is also a lot of stuff in the help of iPhoto and iDVD that can help you....
HTH,

**Adding different text to each photo before making a slide show.

And the top of the day to you,
Is there a way to add different text to each photo before making a slide show? I know you can do this in PS4 but it is not very easy. Any ideas?
Al

Use the Caption metadata to add slide text then click the ABC icon in the slideshow module, followed by clicking the up/down icon, then choose Edit. Insert the Caption option from the IPTC Data box.

Making A Slide Show To Burn To A DVD

His I just started using photshop elemnents 13 from a previous 11 version.
In the past I picked some 300 slides to make a slide show with music and then exported it to a WMV and then imported the WMV into premiere elements and burned a DVD. In phtoshop elements when I selected my slide and created a slide show I could choose how many seconds each slide, the color of the borders, the manner in which slide changed and I used random.
You could then do zoom in or out, make extra slide with information, add music and then save and export to a WMV and then import that into premiere elements and then burn a DVD.

Reason I thought PSE4 would burn to a DVD is, there is a button in the slide show screen that says "burn to DVD" in the PSE4 book we were reading.
If Premiere Elements 2 were also installed with Photoshop Elements 4, then it was possible to burn to DVD from the PSE 4 slide show editor by using Premiere Elements 2. Not all writing on that workflow made it obvious that the Premiere Elements software was required.
Would I be better off getting a different program for making slide shows? The pictures I'm trying to make into a slide show are from a 90th birthday party I shoot over the weekend and want to give out copies of a DVD to the guest.
Option 1
If you have already made a slide show in the Photoshop Elements slide show editor, then you might as well do some investigation of the alternatives.
-- What Windows operating system are you running ? If it includes Windows DVD Maker, then I would give that a try. Write your output of the slide show from PSE to a File - WMV - with Size of DVD,NTSC (or DVD,PAL if your TV is PAL format). Then use that WMV file as input to Windows DVD Maker.
-- If you don't have Windows DVD Maker then you could investigate whatever DVD software came with your PC.
FYI - One warning about the photo files that you use in that PSE slide show. If you use hundreds of high resolution photo files, then PSE can have problems. If your output will NOT be High Def (and yours probably will not be since you mentioned a DVD) then "downsizing" the photo files to approx 1000x 750 pixels will decrease the probablility of your having problems with the slide show.
Option 2
If you have not yet started the PSE slide show, then you might consider a program that many people like for slide shows ----- ProShow Gold from Photodex. It does have a trial.

Are there any step-by-step directions for making a slide show with music on iDVD?

I once knew how to do this, but lost my directions (from a friend) in make a slide show using iDVD. Where could I download the steps for making a DVD that I could play on my DVD player and view on my TV monitor.?

I will try this. I did go to help, but did not click on that subject. Actually, all of a sudden it worked, except that the music I choose did not work. So, I will work on this later. Thanks for the suggestion.

Need help fast - iPhoto slide show on Windows ?

Hi,
I am really needing your help with this. I have created a slideshow in iPhoto for a funeral service for our uncle which is being held this evening. However, I just found out that they need to view this slideshow on a Windows computer.
HELP !! I tried exporting the slide show to iDVD but just want to burn a DVD that will play this looping slide show along with the iTunes playlist they already have set up on this Windows laptop.
Do I have to go through all the theme stuff in iDVD just to create this slideshow that will keep looping ? I don't want it to go back to the chapter menu everytime it finishes.
I am under a really tight time line to get this done...please help.
Thanks !

I'm not an expert on this, but...
Have you tried exporting the slideshow to a Quicktime Movie? (Select the slideshow, then File>Export). You could burn that to a disc just as a file and play it in Quicktime on the Windows PC. Quicktime has a loop function, so you wouldn't have to mess with chapter menus, etc.
Maybe someone with more experience has a better idea.
Good Luck,
Karen

Help: Links to Slide Show aren't working

I'm baffled & frustrated.
I've created a "Photo Albums" page which links 23 thumbnails to their album page. All the 23 links work to get you to the album page. But, on (only) 4 of them, the Slide Show button leads to an error page instead of to the slide show. The error page says:
Safari can’t open the specified address.
Safari can’t open “paris:%20Day%20in%20Senlis%20&%20Chantilly_files/slideshow.html” because Mac OS X doesn’t recognize Internet addresses starting with “paris:”.
(Each of the 4 error pages is slightly different.)
Best way to demonstrate this problem is to send you there to see. Here's the link to the Photo Albums page:
http://web.mac.com/karenmickleson/iWeb/Site%203/Photo%20Albums.html
The 4 which don't work are:
(from the 5th row down) Florence: Duomo; Italy: Tuscany; and Tuscany: Siena
And, from the last row: Paris: Day in Senlis & Chantilly
On these 4, when you get to the Album page & click on the Slide Show icon, you get the error message.
I've tried re-doing these 4 thumbnails on the iWeb page, to no avail. Can anyone help me figure this out?

Karen,
My problem was caused by changing page titles in the site organizer. I had read here in the forums that spaces, odd characters, etc could cause problems in some browsers when published so I removed all caps, spaces, etc. After those changes anything that was cached with the old titles wouldn't go to the new pages. There may be no connection to your problem. Have you tried publishing to a folder on your own computer to see if the problem is there also? If the problem is still there if you publish to a folder, you could do some experimenting without affecting your published site.
Here's something you could try:
Duplicate your "Domain" file and store it in a safe place. You can then play around with the duplicate without affecting the original. Build a new photo page with some of those same photos. Publish to a folder on your hard drive and open it with Safari. You may be able to isolate the problem this way without affecting your published site or your original "Domain" file. Once you figure it out you can make the changes to your original "Domain" file and then publish.
Good luck, David http://web.mac.com/phelpssculpture/iWeb/

Making Quicktime slide shows (videos) with Windows

Hello. With the Mac platform, I am able to use my photo program, iPhoto, export photos from it and make a Quicktime slide show (video, with accompanying music from my music program, iTunes. Is this also possible with Windows, ie: where would the 'Export' command be and how would music be integrated into it? Any other helpful comments would be appreciated. Thank you.

You can open many different audio and image formats with the Windows version of QuickTime Pro. To assemble a slide show of still images you could open a folder of liked sized, sequentially named images and add that new file "scaled" to the audio track.
You could also open the audio track and "add scaled to selection" your individual image files. This method would allow you set the duration of each slide to different values but would limit your show to 98 images (99 track limit).
This method could also use different image dimensions, different "offsets", transparency "blends" and mask layers. Depending on your intended distribution format you could make HD sized QuickTime movies with multiple images displaying simultaneously (Brady Bunch style).

Elements 8 -help with outputting slide shows to File?

Can anyone help with saving a slide show in created in Elements to a file on my laptop? I know a WMV file is created, which option should I select to save in UK widescreen format 16:9?

Bob, thanks for prompt answer.
I am ultimately going to write the file to a DVD using Windows DVD Maker. Is the 16:9 format the DVD-PAL 720x576 option, or the High 1024x768 option?

Making a slide show

I have iLife 5
I want to make slide show with a various pieces of music and audio soundtrack.
I have 150 photographs in iPhoto. I know I can send a iPhoto slide show to iDVD but I cant get any farther than that. It's limited one piece of music looping over and over...No editing of sound for example.
So I decided to try iMovie. Then the problem was the file size. By the time I had added fade in / out transitions it was over 18GB(with no transitions it's still over 6GB). Each photo was on screen for about 12 secs and each transition uses about 3 secs from each...so the viewing time for each photo is about 6 secs. There are obviously limitations but interrogation of the help and support elements does not readily comment on this.
I have the facility to burn to the double sided dvds but I'd rather get it on a single sided media for the sake of distributing to friends.
Which is the best way to proceed please?

I currently have iLife '06 but I think this function was available in '05 as well.
If you have several songs you want to play in your slide show, set up a Playlist in iTunes. With your songs in a new playlist, it is time to switch back to iPhoto.
Go to the slide show you are working on and click on the Music button. You can now select the Playlist as the music to play during the show. Then, you can go into the "Settings" menu and select "Fit slideshow to music". Now, not only will all your songs play but they will fit perfectly with your images. Your transitions should still work.
Again, I am pretty sure these options were all there in iLife '05 but I am not 100% sure. I hope this helps and sorry if it is too late to help.

Making a slide show with ActionScript

I know, I know...why aren't I using Powerpoint to do a slide show? Because I want to incorporate more detailed animation into the presentation that I can only do in Flash. My question is simply this: How do I simply make Flash move from one image to another via clicking? The script I was trying to use involved a stop on the frame and this:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(2) }
...on the image, which is a button. I don't get any errors upon export, but the functions still don't work. It remains stuck at frame 1.
I don't want thumbnails or anything in this. Just to stop on frame 1, click, then go to frame 2, stop, click. You get the idea. There will also be occasional animations and sounds happening over the images, which I imagine I can just use matching scripts for.
Can anyone suggest what actions I can apply to frames and/or clips/buttons to achieve the slide show look?

That one didn't work either. No error messages, but it also doesn't move. But I had some luck with this code:
on (release)
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
I don't know yet how to make it change scenes, but it's definitely working for the slide show effect. Thanks very much for your help, though!

Making a Slide show with Video, Pictures, and Music

Hi,
I'm putting together a slide show with music containing music, narration, pictures and video shot from different cameras…would like to export in the best quality i can…
What formats:
o Pictures
o Video
o Audio
o Narration
along with:
Codecs
Compressions
Are best used with FCE?

Thanks very much for your response...one of the cameras used was a Sony HDV U1000...I believe it was shot 1080i..couldn't tell you what other cameras were, but I'm pretty sure they weren't HD cameras...just trying to help a buddy edit his project, but it seems the formats are all over the place....Trying to convert the sources so we can output a good product...I would probably use iDVD to make the DVD...I've made some videos for another friend using my Sony VX2100 and they look awesome...
Thanks again for your help, it's very appreciated!

Where is the frame rate setting control when making a slide show?

I am trying to make a slide show using QuickTime Pro and cannot find the frame rate control.I put all my consectively-numbered jpegs in one folder. I then clicked on "File," the "Open Image Sequence," then a window opened up and I click on the first jpeg in the series of photos I want in my slide show. Then the first image appears in the QT Window. The instructions next say that I should be able to change the rate at which each slide/jpeg appears, but it doesn't tell you where to find the "frame rate" so I can change it. It doesn't appear at all on its own, so where is it? Anything else I'm missing? Thank you.

What version of Photoshop Elements and or Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system?
In addition, could you please clarify?
It sounds like you are creating your slideshow in the Elements Organizer. Where are you seeing these distortions and blurs, in the Elements Organizer Slideshow Editor Filmstrip or in the Premiere Elements workspace after you have transferred the slideshow from the Elements Organizer 9 Slideshow Editor to Premiere Elements workspace?
What are the pixel dimensions of the photos in this slideshow and how many of these photos are in the slideshow? What format are they in..jpg, psd, other?
With regard to what you wrote:
Also how do I transport them from Elements to Premier, it has a tab to do that but when I get to the elements file I don't know where to drag and drop into.
If you are in the Elements Organizer Slideshow Editor and use the Output option Edit with Premiere Elements, then you would expect the automatic transfer of the slideshow to Premiere Elements, with a copy in video format (.psess) in the project media as well as on the Timeline. Nothing for you to drag and drop.
For all those reasons, I am asking for clarification.
Thanks.

I accidentally hit replace instead of save while making a slide show is there any way to retrieve it?

I Made a slide show in keynote, instead of hitting save I hit replace is there anyway to retrieve it?

Keynote doesn't run on Classic operating systems. You may be able to use one of these data recovery software to recover it.
What were you replacing?
My data has become inaccessible, and I don't have a backup!

How do I correct distortions when making a slide show?

When I take clear and distinct pictures from my picture files and put them in a slide show with music the pictures become distorted and blurry. These are generally good quality and print up fine.
Also how do I transport them from Elements to Premier, it has a tab to do that but when I get to the elements file I don't know where to drag and drop into.
