Portfolio slidshow with dissolve transitions -iPad?

Looking for a good solution for my presentation portfolio -using an iPad. I am a photographer & retoucher. I specifically need to show before/after states of my retouching work. A clean, slow dissolve works best. But its important to be able to pause a "slideshow" to answer questions. Am planning to use an iPad for presentation. Any suggestions for application that will play reliably on iPad with my requirements? I do all my work in Photoshop & have created previous slideshows in Lightroom. But EXPORTED slideshows do not transition as well & I don't think LR will run on an iPad. (I don't have the iPad yet) My guess is that iPhoto will probably have to do the job by default, but I'm not a huge fan of that app.
thanks

Apple has a version of Keynote available for the iPad. Here is a review by Terry White:

  • "Persistent" audio in slideshow with Manual transitions

    What I want:
    Add music to a slideshow, which will loop as the slideshow plays;
    AND
    Slide duration = Manual
    WITH
    Dissolve transition.
    Is this possible?
    When I add audio to a slideshow, the "Manual" option under the "Slide duration" dropdown grays out. I can arrow through the slideshow, but the transitions disappear and the audio skips around.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Scott
    And welcome to apple discussions. As soon as you add an audio file to a manually advanced slideshow w/in iDvd'09, guess what happens?
    It automatically becomes a fit to audio slideshow.

    Can't do this within iDvd via the traditional approach of making a slideshow within iDvd only (sorry). I'm assuming you already know how to make a slideshow advance manually with dissolve as the transition.
    Here's what I suggest if iDvd'09 is the only app at your disposal currently.
    Workaround: Go ahead and make the manual slideshow normally (no audio). Now add any music files you wish to the dvd rom section of the dvd. If you plan to use the laptop as the presentation hardware connected to an LCD projector to TV out; then launch iTunes also from the music files contained within the dvd rom section and then go back to iDvd slideshow feature and play your manual slideshow as you wish while music loops in the background. In other words, you'll have to use iTunes and iDvd simultaneously to meet your objective as stated above.
    If you'd like I can test this feature later w/in DVDSP.

    Might take me a while to post the results though. Roxio Toast might also be worth looking into for slideshows.

  • Problem with getting Dissolve Transitions - Premiere Elements 9

    Have been using Premiere Elements for years and up to Premiere Elements 7 I have had no problem applying Dissolve Transitions or other Transitions in a very straight forward manner,  Since I moved to Premiere Elements 9 I can not get Dissolve Transitions to work at all.  Some of the transitions work as before but many give a problem
    Tempted to move back to Premiere Elements 7.
    Anybody had the same problem and able to resolve it.
    Regards
    BMcD

    Billy,
    Welcome to the forum.
    I'm with Steve on asking "what exactly is the problem?"
    If you are having issues with a Cross-Dissolve only going to one Clip, and not spanning the Clips, or having Frames, that were edited out, showing up during the Transition, then take a look at this ARTICLE on Handles. Those (well, actually the lack, thereof) trip up many.
    Good luck, and please let us know more,

  • PDF Portfolio combatibility with apple and accessibility

    Our office thought PDF portfolios were the way to go for our large manuals that we want available online for readers to view and print. We are running into many problems, however.
    1. Are PDF portfolios truly accessible to screen readers? I set the preference to open in files mode; however, when I publish the PDF portfolio to our web, a coworker opened it into preview mode.
    2. Are PDF portfolios compatible with apple products? Another coworker opened the portfolio off our web, and it only showed the first PDF in the portfolio. There were no options to see others or search or anything.
    I've been trying to research online, but I am getting nowhere. Basically what I've found was that the user needs to have Adobe Reader installed (on their iPad, Mac, iPhone, etc.) in order to view. It says to save the setting to open all portfolios in files mode, but that does not seem to carry with the portfolio - just the user's computer who changed the setting.
    Extremely frustrated forms/records manager

    That's a complete PITA, then. Our local government, for example, commonly
    puts up PDF portfolios on their web site which consist of scans of
    multiple written responses to planning submissions bundled together into a
    PDF portfolio. Without the thumbnails of each contained PDF in the
    portfolio, it is impossible read anything other than the first PDF in the
    portfolio. Have a look for example, at
    http://www.actpla.act.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0014/22343/DV307_Submissions_1-20_1.37 MB.pdf.
    All submissions in this portfolio can be accessed without any problem
    using Reader 9.4.3 for Windows, but with Reader 9.4.3 for Linux, only the
    first submission in the document can be accessed.
    There is no AR9.4.3 for Linux: do you mean AR9.4.2?
    Anyhow my recommendation under Linux would be to stick with AR9.3.4.
    I've just checked at my end and it has no problem with your
    sample portfolio.

  • Secret for using Cross Dissolve transitions

    Based on my limited experience, the most useful transition is the cross dissolve. It is pretty much the only one I use since it is doesn't draw attention to itself and bears repeated deployment for smooth scene changes. But it has a problem: If you simply make a clip split and put the transition in, it won't work. And it appears even high level people at Apple technical support don't understand what is going on. Based on the apparently incorrect background information they gave me, I have always been extremely careful about making the split precisely where the scene changes and then chopping off a small number of frames in order to make the transition work. But recently I discovered that cross dissolve transitions will always work (regardless of whether the frames on both sides of the cut are similar or even identical) if you delete precisely one frame, and it can be from either side of the split. When you do that the edges of the clip go from squared (right angles) to rounded. The cross dissolve transitions will never work between two clips that have squared edges. They will always work when the edges are rounded. And all it takes to get the edges to be rounded is the deletion one frame. The edges get rounded and cross dissolve transitions work and if you remove more than one frame, and/or do if from both sides of the split. The point is that it will work with as little as one frame. But if you don't sacrifice at least one frame, cross dissolve transitions will never work.
    Of course, I am assuming that my experience with iMovie '09 and '11 is not idiosyncratic. Also: I would be interested in knowing if anybody else knew this "secret"--and whether it is widespread knowledge or in any of the books on iMovie.

    When one splits clips, don't split close to what will be the beginning or the end of a shot.That's why you should always start the camera BEFORE the action begins and run AFTER the action ends. It only needs to be a 1/2 second to 1 second. Now before you add a cut or a transition you will automatically trim the end and the beginning of the two clips.
    I start with a two-hour clip that includes hundreds of scenes, some ending abruptly, some not. If scene one suddenly ends and scene two begins, the natural place to make the cut is where the scene changes. If it happens that there is stuff immediately on each side of the cut that is of value, you would might prefer not to lose even one frame. Usually on one of the two sides the loss of one frame is not so bad. And if you sacrifice that frame you have almost everything you want. But it turns out that the situation is better than that. Since you can also add frames (I now realize), you can end without losing any frames at all. Of course, if you happen to be in a situation where there is plenty of useless stuff on both sides of a cut, the problem the solution is trying to solve does not come up. But I wouldn't change my filming habits just to avoid this problem of adding cross dissolves, since once you know what to handle it, it's not much of a problem. As to whether it is good practice to aim to have extra footage on both sides of a shot, sure. That seems like a good rule of thumb to me. But there are many situations where you don't have that opportunity. Say you were filming John Kennedy in Dallas or life among the Taliban or your kid falling off a horse. Life may not give you the chance to put useless footage at the end or beginning of your shot. In my case, I have hours of amateur home movies that stop at all sorts of odd places. I can't go back and reshoot it.
    I suspect Apple simply expected you to do this. This will inherently eliminate what may be a tiny bug that you overcome by trimming 1 frame.
    Most transition types don't require the removal or addition of a frame. When I called Apple technical support about this, the person I talked to was surprised by this feature too. And he found it happening with at least one other transition, I think. He handed me over to a specialist. That specialist gave me a complicated theory for why this was happening. He said that the frames on both sides of the cut had to look fairly different for the transition to work. And sometimes when we think we have made the cut exactly where the scene changes, we haven't in fact. So we need to cut away until both sides are definitely different. And you will notice that often the thumbnail for one side will be an image from the other side. This lead me to think that I was required to make sure that on either side of the cut there was definitely a significant change of image. But all you have to do is get the edges of the clip to become rounded. And you can do this by adding or subtracting a frame at any location. Of course, if you are going to be chopping off multiple frames for any reason, you will also solve or avoid this problem. So, if Apple was thinking what you suggest, they haven't given any guidance about it in print. And the tech support people don't seem to know it.

  • Color Correcting Clips With Dissolves

    When you're color correcting clips in a sequence with dissolves, are you color correcting the entire clip or just the part before or after the dissolve?
    Do you have to remove other effects to color correct the whole clip?
    Sure hope not but there seems to be a color change in playback when I hit the dissolves between clips.
    Haven't rendered yet but have made a lot of changes to the color in a long and cutty sequence.

    I imagine that the color changes you are seeing are because the sequence is not fully rendered. Do a test by fully rendering just a section.
    And yes, you are color correcting the clip including any transitions in and out.

  • When importing Abode premiere footage with video transitions they get wipped out :-(

    Afternoon from York UK,  (USING LATEST VERSIONS OF ALL SOFTWARE)
    Ok here's today's stress.... I build i video clip with Video transitions, dissolve dip to white to be specific. When i imported the project into After effects all transitions are lost :-( I'm so very confused.
    To help here is a screen shot showing the transitions effects exist in the layers but on ram preview and export to mpeg no video transitions show. It is as if i added no transition effects between the clips!

    p.s. Really wanted above link to open in separate window but Ive had enough today of battling with CMS's
    Thanks in advance,

    Thanks Rick,
    But I'm such a noob at Ae i've little idea on how to go about "Dynamically linked AE..." I appreciate now Ae is a technical tool which is going to take time to master which is difficult when I had yesterday to send the completed video to the client. Big problems for me are getting generated when I try to import Pr with Ae. Case in point is my Ae created animation being so much bigger than my imported video clip creating this effect: http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/misfit-video-clip-langleys-glitch_z pseec728d8.jpg
    Spent all day trying to fix this but no joy, I have today to fix this, wish me luck ;-)

  • Editing: Cross Dissolve Transition briefly turns black can it be white

    Cross Dissolve Transition applied two clips briefly turns black can it be white or not go to black? Thxs.

    I do have the Cross Dissolve window up that looks like the Transition Editor in the Manual, only it only shows the top half (pyramid w/start and end percent) but no additional palette no effects section with color square, etc.
    Thxs.

  • Slide dissolve transition problem

    I am having a problem with my slide show. I made a slideshow in DVDSP with iphoto jpeg photos. I set them to use the dissolve transition. I have my encoding preferences set to two pass 5mps (max 7mps) and built my disk. In the simulator everything looks o.k.
    When I play the disk with the apple dvd player the following often happens. The slide will be transitioning to the next slide and once the new slide is fully there you can see in the background the first frame for the following transition. the duration is set to 5sec. So sometimes say when I have a portrait format photo in the black areas to the left and right you can see the first frame of the next transition 5 seconds before it is supposed to start.
    Also the quality of the slide pictures seems very poor. Any suggestions for the transitions and quality?
    Thanks.

    usually I have seen this occur with transitions in simulator and not on the burned disc. You might try creating a track from your slideshow, it should behave pretty much the same, though you'll want to use the slideshow editor first to set up your content, transitions, durations, etc.
    You may be able to get better quality transitions by switching the final rendering preference in the menu pane of the preferences. This is described on pg. 115 of the online manual.
    If you convert the slideshow to a track, the quality will be affected by the SD encoding settings instead.
    Hope this helps -

  • Automating Cross Dissolve Transitions

    I am working on a slide show movie in Final Cut Express from over 150 still images. Is there a way to automate adding a Cross Dissolve transition between each of the stills?
    Any help on the issue would be appreciated.

    I'm feeling I might be in trouble. I am using FCE (Express) which does not alow one to change default transition. I work extensively with still images, animating. I need to be able to apply a particular cross dissolve length to a group of stills. This varies according to the effect I want. My work does not stick to a fixed frame rate.

  • Need help with CS4 transitions

    Hi,
    I am trying to use a cross dissolve transition. To make it simple, I have two clips. I'm obviously doing something wrong here. I've watched the Adobe TV tutorial and all the guy does is to select cross dissolve from the effects box, and drags it over to the clip on the timeline. I think I am doing the exact same thing, but when I play my clip back, I can see no transition effect played back.
    Maybe I'm putting it in the wrong place I thought, so I tried putting it in front of the split between the two clips. Then again at the beginning of the second clip. Neither of them worked, so I shut CS4 down, and booted it up again. I started a new project, and put two new clips in it. I put the dissolve transition at the beginning of the second clip, and it worked like a charm. Then to see if that was a fluke, went to a point about 3 minutes earlier in the timeline. So now I am on clip one. I go and make a cut in the timeline, and try to place another Cross dissolve at this spot. It appears to place the transition there because it creates the rectangular box, and it has the name cross dissolve in that rectangular box,but when I try to play it to see the transition, it isn't working. Go back to the beginning of the second clip, and that one still works perfectly.
    I noticed that there is a difference in the appearance of the two cross dissolve rectangular boxes. The one that works has a single diagonal line that goes from lower left to upper right in the cross dissolve box, and then there are a whole series of diagonal lines that go from upper left to lower right all across the cross dissolve box . It looks like a whole bunch of dark gray and white backslashes. In the one that doesn't work, there is just that single diagonal line that goes from lower left to upper right. No backslashes on this one. What am I doing right in the first one, but not in the second?
    I find that it will work perfectly if I put in a new clip. If I put in the Cross Dissolve at the beginning of a new clip that I add to the timelime,  it will work perfectly. It is only when I try to split a clip that is already on the timeline, and then put the cross dissolve in at that point.
    Perhaps it is not possible to do what I am attempting to do. Maybe you can't split a clip and place the transition at that point?

    When I am shooting video, it is not unusual for me to be taping a scene of a mountain, for example, and then put the camera on pause, while I briefly position myself to take video of the river that is flowing at my feet. That is what is happened on this clip that I am attempting to put the transition in between. Rather than having the scene just instantly change at this point, from the mountain to the river, it would be nice to have a smoother transition then that.
    My mind was working on the problem while sleeping last night, and I think I might understand how to handle it. It might have been too simple for me to think about yesterday. I haven't tried it yet, but would it not work, to insert the mountain scene from my source monitor into the timeline, and then go back and insert the river scene into the time line instead of inserting both of them at the same time. Would these not now be two separate clips on the timeline, and the transition could now be applied?
    Your analogy with the DJ is very good, but it isn't quite the same. You are correct in that he would be only fading from one song to the same spot on the same song. In my case I am going from an image of a mountain to an image of a river. Same clip, but different images. I appreciate the help, and your thoughts.

    From a creative standpoiint, I don't understand the desire to transition from one clip to the exact same spot on that same clip.  That's like a DJ at a night club fading from one song to the exact same spot on that same song being played on a second CD player.  What's the point?

  • How do you add a dissolve transition to an entire sequence at once?

    I know there is a simple way to add the default dissolve transition to a whole sequence at once. I did a recital with two cameras using the PPR Multicamera. I want to add a dissolve transition but there's plenty of them and I don't want to do that one at a time.

  • Premiere Pro CS3 Issue- Cross Dissolve Transition creates random frame insert

    Hello,
    I have had this issue for a long time, and whenever I render a cross dissolve transition, once in a while, it inserts a random frame from either the prior or latter clips that I apply the transition effect to.
    I don't know how to solve this issue and could use help as soon as possible.
    Thank you,
    Th3On3Fr33man

    I agree with Harm.
    This happens when one does not have enough Frames (Handles), beyond the Out-Point, or before the In-Point, to accommodate the Duration of the Transition.
    For some more info on Handles, these might be useful:
    In the days of A-B Roll editing, or with film, Handles were an easy concept to grasp. With current NLE's, it's more abstract.
    Good luck, and do not forget to read through the Help files. In the days of manuals, this concept was covered pretty well. Curt Wrigley covers it in his Classroom in a Book PrPro.

  • Looking for a calendar that syncs with my other iPad in the cloud?

    I have tried numerous calendar/agenda programs, but none sync easily through the cloud with my other iPad.  Could be me being inept.  Trying to input appointments on my iPad at work and sync it with my iPad at home.  Appreciate any help.  Thanks  Peter

    Isn't it just called 'Calendar' ?  The one with a red bar across the top.  If you've put other calendar apps on the phone take them off because they'll take over some of the functions of the Apple software and stop it working properly.
    Make sure you're using the same account on both iPads.  For instance, you might have one connected to your 'work' account and the other connected to your 'home' account.
    If you enter an event into an iCloud calendar using one device, and it's connected to the internet, it should quickly show up on all devices using the same iCloud calendar, as soon as they can connect to the internet.  If that's not happening, something is wrong with your setup.

  • Problems with the new iPad and Joikuspot premium after iOS 6

    Hi,
    I'm experiencing serious problems with my new iPad after last iOS update. Usually I was connecting to the internet through Joikuspot premium on Nokia mobile phone (E6). I was able to do everything, https sites surfing, absolutely everything with no exceptions.
    Now, after iOS 6 update, I can't connect to https sites, google+, sync calendar etc.
    I've tried to change connection criteria on joikuspot but nothing. The fact is also that other devices as laptop or other smartphones are still working perfectly, in any case, sharing the wi-fi connection created by joikuspot.
    Finally the problem is 100% due to the iPad and the new iOS.
    disappointing, amateur for such a device... (iPad I mean).
    Any help?
    Many many thanks
    Vittorio

    Ho lo stesso problema, dopo l'aggiornamento a IOS 6 l'ipad non riconosce più il mio nokia N8. Con IOS 5 andava una cannonata...
    vorrei ritornare a IOS 5
