Presentation in iMovie or iPhoto slideshow

Hello,
i´m creating a portfolio in iMovie for clients, and after drag every photo, i´d like to make it start not with the first image, but with first "frame"/image like a presentation, with my name, job, etc etc, and the same thing for the end of portfolio with "all rights reserve... photos by... music..."
I made it in another software. Is it possible to do this with iMovie, or in iPhoto slideshow?
Thanks,
Tiago

You can make beginning and ending titles in iMovie.
If you want to make your own custom titles or credits, you can do them in Photoshop (or the equivalent), save them as a JPEG, and import them into iMovie just as you would any other photo.

  • IPhoto slideshow imported into iMovie  - photos no longer fit in frame

    I imported an iPhoto slideshow into iMovie. The event that is created matches the iPhoto slideshow. However, when I drop the iPhoto slideshow into into the new project, I am losing the tops and bottoms of my photos. For most of the photos this is okay, but for some it end up chopping off heads! I have gone back to iPhoto and adjusted photos to add dead space at top/bottom of photos, but this is not possible in all cases.
    I exported from iPhoto using Export/Display mode per the instructor in the One to One class.
    This project is a workaround to my original problem of distortion issues when I created the slideshow directly in iMovie.
    Have a hard deadline to meet, any help would be appreciated!

    When creating a slideshow in iPhoto (for sharing), you can select an appropriate aspect ratio to suit your target, i.e., where you intend to use the slideshow.
    After clicking the + button in the bottom left corner of iPhoto and selecting Slideshow, click on the Settings tab. At the base of the Slideshow Settings window you can select the aspect ratio. Mine shows the following choices:
    This screen (16:10)
    HDTV (16:9)
    TV (4:3)
    iPhone (3:2)
    When creating a slideshow that I intend to import to iMovie '09 I always select the HDTV setting (16:9). This works well, providing you initially position individual slides appropriately in your iPhoto slideshow, e.g, to prevent heads being chopped off!

  • IPhoto slideshow has wrong aspect ratio for iMovie and/or FCP

    When I output a slideshow at 720x480 from iPhoto then import it into iMovie or FCP, the images are stretched vertically. I can adjust the ratio in FCP (-10 seems to be a good number), but there is no fix for iMovie. I like the iPhoto slideshow capability and prefer using it for my slideshows. What do I do to get an unstretched QT for import into iMovie or FCP?

    You're encountering a difference between rectangular DV pixels and square "computer screen image" pixels.
    When working with DV timelines, the best way to get good frame grabs would be to export your 720 x 480 still, then re-size it to 640 x 480 using Photoshop. (BTW, you can use a Photoshop batch function to re-size multiple images automatically.)
    If you're starting with a timeline that only contains square-pixel (not DV video) images, try this:
    Sequence > Settings > General Tab
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square
    Now:
    Open a clip in the Viewer window, and look under
    Motion Tab > Distort Pane
    Aspect Ratio should = 0
    [Under certain conditions, FCP makes educated guesses as to the pixel aspect ratios of imported images, and uses this setting to automatically apply corrective distortion when it believes it is necessary. Usually it is correct, but under unusual circumstances like your project, you may have to correct FCP's correction.]
    The fastest way to confirm this would be to
    Select All
    Ctrl-Click
    Remove Attributes
    Check "Distortion"
    [If it is greyed out it means that none of your clips have any distortion applied so you are good to go.]
    Now you can export un-distorted frames from a square-pixel timeline, and shouldn't experience any pixel-aspect ratio confusion.
    Good luck,

  • IPhoto slideshow within Keynote presentation?

    Is it possible to have a section of the Keynote presentation appear as though it were an iPhoto slideshow, ie with a selection of photos occupying the entire screen and fliping over with one music track.
    The slideshow would appear as a a part within the presentation.

    You can use one of the Smart Builds to do this, or you can do your slideshow in iPhoto and export it as a movie (although it would no longer be interactive).

  • IPhoto slideshow in Keynote Presentation

    Is it possible to insert or link to an iPhoto slideshow (with its theme and music) in a Keynote presentation?  When I export to a Quicktime movie, I do not get the theme, just the slides and music.

  • Iphoto slideshow in imovie?

    I have made a slideshow in iphoto.
    I would like to use this at the begining of a movie in imove.
    Can this be done?
    Many thanks

    I don't know which version iPhoto you have but the one I've got has an Export button sitting right next to the Play button when I have a slideshow open in iPhoto. Click on Export and in the options available choose the "Large" size. This is the exact same dimensions iMovie uses to edit your projects when you are working on video. Uncheck the box marked Open in iTunes when done (you don't want to send it to iTunes). Also, choose to save it to the desktop so you can import it into an iMovie event when you are done. It will be saved into the iPhoto Slideshows folder inside the Pictures folder in your home folder. Go the File>Import>Movies... then click through to where the Slideshow movie was saved.

  • I am having difficulties with iPhoto slideshow.  The slide show stops in the middle of a presentation and the system crashes.  I must power off to exit the app and restart my MacBook pro.

    Wow. Okay...
    I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
    My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

    To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
    4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
    I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.

  • Can i import an iPhoto slideshow directly into iMovie?

    I know you can export an iPhoto slideshow to QuickTime, and then import that into iMovie.
    Just wondering if you can eliminate the middle step and go directly into iMovie.

    You'll need to export the movie out of iMovie to the Desktop via the Share ➙ File menu option.  Import the movie file from the Desktop into iPhoto and when you've confirmed that the movie is safely in iPhoto you may delete the copy from the Destkop.
    To send the movie from iMovie to other apps like iDVD that have access to the Media Browser use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option.

  • New imac. can't figure out how to burn a iphoto slideshow or imovie to a dvd

    i have a brand new imac.  i have created a iphoto slideshow with music, etc,  how can i burn it to a dvd to show it to a group? I am making a season ending dvd slideshow for a soccer team and need to be able to butn the iphoto slideshow to a dvd to give to 20 parents to take home and watch on their television (or at least on their pc)
    help!  i can't figure this out at all.
    i own an extgernal apple superdrive dvd burner.

    You will need to obtain a copy of iDVD 7 by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com or eBay.com.  Why the iLife 09 disk?
    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.
    Once you have iDVD on your iMac working export the iPhoto slideshow via the Export button at the bottom of the slideshow window and select Size = Medium or Large:
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported slideshow movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help ensure 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 and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was 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.

  • Using Keynote and iPhoto slideshow together

    Computer: 12" Powerbook G4, 1.5ghz
    Display: 23" Apple Cinema Display (1920x1200)
    Software: OSX 10.4.9, Keynote 2, iPhoto 6
    Hi everyone! Above are the specs for the project I'm working on and here's the problem I'm having:
    I am trying to create a makeshift kiosk display for an upcoming event using slides in Keynote and a picture slideshow in iPhoto. I'm planning on running it off my Powerbook to my 23" Cinema Display.
    I'm using Keynote for the presentation content because of the motion effects (transitions, build-ins, etc.) and iPhoto for the image slideshow because of the Ken Burns effect (which I don't believe Keynote has). Both look great running seperately, however when this is being displayed at the show, I'll need both to run back to back automatically, without having to manually switch back and forth between applications.
    I have both the Keynote presentation and the iPhoto slideshow displaying at 1920x1200. I've tried exporting the iPhoto slideshow to Quicktime, but it won't export any higher than 640x480. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can make this work? I won't be able to operate the computer when this is running, so I really need to find a way to make everything run seamlessly while keeping the high resolution of the 1920x1200 monitor.
    Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!
    Thanks,

    iMovie is a DV editing app and the final results would still make a 640X480 file.
    I would change a few things to make everything work together:
    First is the display resolution. You want the 23 inches to be used so just reduce the display preferences to try and match your QuickTime file. 800X600 sounds about right but larger will still work as H.264 Video scales up in size very nicely.
    This would force you to "reduce" the dimensions of the Keynote file but that shouldn't be much of an issue.
    QuickTime Pro could also be used to "change" the dimensions of the 640X480 file. Again, H.264 scales up in size and would look pretty good at even double size.
    The goal is to have them both at the same dimension and then match the monitor resolution.
    Easier to change the display than the files.

  • Is there any way to get 720x576 (ie DV Pal)  from iphoto slideshow?

    I have tried the iphoto forum and have been directed here. Is there any way to get 720x576 (ie DV Pal) for an export from iphoto slideshow? I want to export 200+ photos with random transitions and the ken burns effect. Imovie offers offers automatic ken burns effect via project properties but I can't find a way to add random transitions automaticcally. Is it possible? I want to add the exported file to a movie in Final Cut Studio. Normally I have to resort to using adobe photoshop elements 5 and premiere elements 3 on my bootcamp partition. I would love to do this all in Mac OSX - since leaving Windows, this is the only thing that forces me to use that lousy operating system!
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I have tried the iphoto forum and have been directed here. Is there any way to get 720x576 (ie DV Pal) for an export from iphoto slideshow?
    Not directly. But you can do it with a bit of external help. Create a slideshow project in iPhoto using the "Random" transitions and auto KBE you want. Then export the slideshow as a 640x480 MPEG4/AAC 30 fps full motion MOV file. Drop the file to MPEG Steamclip and select the "Export to DV" File menu option. The select the DV format, PAL standard, and aspect you want. (I would normally select the "Frame Blending" option in the main menu when going from 30 fps to 25 fps.)

  • IMovie, Garageband, iPhoto and iTunes no longer working together.

    I have seen several variations of this issue but NO solutions. 
    I work with iMovie almost every day; up until a month ago, all four (iMovie, Garage Band, iPhoto and iTunes) worked together perfectly. 
    iMovie no longer asks to make thumbnails of the videos in iPhoto when opening iMovie. 
    When opening the iphoto media browser, I am told to open iPhoto.. 
    When opening the itunes media browser in iMovie, I get the same message "open itunes..."
    I have opened those apps and iMovie is not recognizing that they are open.
    Garageband no longer recognizes iTunes - again, I am getting the message to "open iTunes";
    Last night I discovered that iTunes no longer offers me the option of syncing selected iPhoto albums to my iPhone and iPad; the only option I have is to sych my entire iPhoto Library file.
    I have posted these issues in iMovie and iPhoto forums and always am given a workaround but no solution; or I am told to ask the quesiton in another forum. I am posting THIS in all of the forums, so please do not suggest that I need to go to another forum.
    I have searched all similar threads and found others who are having the same issue but seem to never be given a solution.
    I have found temporary work arounds (exporting photos from iPhoto as slideshows and then importing them into iMovie; creating a Loop in Garageband which I export to iTunes to my "playlist" which is THEN recognized by Garageband and can be used in iMovie.  
    Any help for this will be greatly appreciated.

    Try the following:
    Delete the following two preference files from your Home/Library/Preferences folder:
    com.apple.iApps.plist
    com.apple.iApps.lockfile
    Launch iPhoto and then iMovie and check the Media Browser again.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • 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!

  • "Open-Box" MacBook. iMovie and iPhoto $14.99 each. Don't want to pay.

    So I just bought my MacBook and it was discounted as an "Open Box" which meant that someone had bought the computer and shortly (less than a week) decided that they did not want it. So because the person would have begun setting up the computer and using the computer's serial number to download Apps they would then cost money for peoplel like me who purchase them. This person did not purchase GarageBand because I got it for free, but iMovie and iPhoto both are $14.99. The salesman told me that I could use Apple's Up-To-Date program to get these Apps, however, when I tried to I am only able to get iWork and not iLife. How can I get iMovie and iPhoto without having to pay for them? I also have just updated the computer just incase that was not allowing me to get iMovie and iPhoto but that was not the problem.
    Thanks

  • 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.
