Preview Slideshow Transitions Help

Hi Folks, we're running OSX Mavericks and are troubleshooting this little issue: on all previous versions of Preview, one could run a full-screen slideshow using a group of photos/pdfs/whatever, and each 'slide' would transition to the next using a smooth crossfade effect. Now I just get a a hard cut from one photo to the next; no smooth transition at all. I've not found anything in Preferences that allows me to change this. Our broadcast facility uses Preview extensively as a down-and-dirty get-it-on-the-air-quick photo display platform, and the hard cuts look really crappy and amateurish compared to Preview's old smooth crossfades. Any ideas? Thanks!

In the Menu section of the preferences, try changing from hardware encoding to software encoding. Also try converting your slideshow to a track.

Help Please......when I add or preview a Transition I Movie 06 just crashes

When I add or preview a transition-I Movie 06 just crashes and I get an error message Send report to apple.I checked all system requirements for installing I movie 06.I have everything in order for I movie 06.
Please help......

Try closing iMovie and trashing the file com.apple.iMovie.plist found in User/Library/Preferences. iMovie will creat a new .plist file on relaunch.
Update Quicktime to current version.
Then do a permissions repair using the Utilities/Disk Utility app on your Mac.
Make sure that you have sufficent free disk space for iMovie to operate. 15 to 25GB is a good range.
If you have any 3rd party plug-ins, try removing them to a different folder.

SlideShow transition IE finally working except

Well I finally got it to work with 2 small problems.
Hopefully someone has come across this and knows if there is a solution.
Problems:
1) not everything is staying centered on the index page when changing the window width in IE browser and emulating ie7. It works in Safari and FireFox and my other pages in IE browser NOT emulating IE7.
2) the shadow boxes are not working on the index page... again in IE browser and emulating ie7.

The SlideShow transition fix:
I added the following meta tag to my index page:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
The (Slideshow basic) did not work and I had to use the (SlideShow with filmstrip) as stated by (W Bell)... link provided by Gramps below.
I could not install the slideshow with filmstrip directly into my page from the widget browser in dreamweaver... From the widget browser I saved the (SlideShow with filmstrip) files to my hard drive and copied spry folders and html code into my page.

That's correct I could not get the basic to work and had to use filmstrip... and strip out every thing that I did not need... the slideshow with filmstrip did not work when I used the (insert widget) in dreamweaver. as mentioned above. I am new and self taught myself, hope this helps.
I also found it very helpful to use a code checker, links below

I ran across the issue of the (panandzoom going off the image and it showing black) I believe it has to do with your css code most likely width and height. below is the only css code I am using that relates the the slideshow.
myMain.css file:
#home .container .content #ImageSlideShow {

margin: 0px auto;
border: solid 2px #000;
padding-top: 10px;

IOS5 missing slideshow transitions?

After upgrading my iPhone4 to iOS5, it would appear some of my Photo Slideshow Transitions are missing. In particular when I airplay a picture slideshow to an upgraded ATV2, it is stuck on Ken Burns transition which isn't even an option in my transitionsand is too zoomed to see most of the faces. However this is not the case when I play the slide show on my iPhone without airplay, it is uses what ever transition is chosen again Ken Burns is not availalble.
Having had the conversation on another thread with BobbyCo57, we established after the upgrade he had 9 transitions and I have 5.
This follows this thread: iPhone4 to ATV2 slideshow - How do I stop Ken Burns effect?
I figure I cannot turn Kenny Burns off if I can't see it. Below is what I see I'd like to get to 9 transitions, can anyone help?

John,
Why? Do you know? Where do I find that particular thread? The lynda.com tutorial is for CS3. They seem to have all the transitions...also the Library is much richer that what I have? Are there pluggins for the removed tools?
Thanks, --bill

An internal error has occurred: ?:0: attempt to index a nil value after installing LR5.5 update and trying to play or preview slideshow

An internal error has occurred: ?:0: attempt to index a nil value after installing LR5.5 update and trying to play or preview slideshow. Never had this problem before. I went to forums and see that this is a problem with previous versions and this only occurred after installing lastest update.

Jeannine,
If you follow the advice of the previous poster Julie Kmoch and then gradualy add presets back in one at a time you might be able to find the one that is causing the issue. I may be guessing, but I believe the issue has something to do with either an incompatible Preset setting (eg a older preset in newer version of LR) or a corrupt Preset.
Say you bought LR2 and imported a bunch of Presets from the internet, cuz 'Hey these effects are cool and I don't have to recreate the wheel', and then you upgraded to LR3 (not a clean install) and now one of the Presets that calls a certain slider setting or value that is different in LR3 doesn't work anymore. This might be why it throws the error, but again I am just speculating.
Location of LR Preset folder in Windows Vista/ Windows 7
C:/Users/<YourUserName>/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom/Develop Presets
If you do not see the folder AppData, you may need to change the settings in Windows Explorer to 'Show Hidden Files and Folders'. To do that in Windows Vista/ Windows 7, open a Windows Explorer window, Click on Organize, then Foler and Search Options. Then click on the View tab and select the option button next to Show hidden files, folders and drives.
Hope this helps a bit,
Glenn

Faulty slideshow transitions in iPhoto 5.0.4

Since upgrading to iPhoto 5.0.4 I am unable to successfully run any slideshow transitions except "Dissolve" on my PowerBook G4 17" with the 23" cinema display. ALL the transitions on my 20" FlatPanel work fine.
I have tried re-installing 5.0.4, restarting my computer, repairing permissions in Disc Utility, transferring my iPhoto Library from the 20" FlatPanel to the 17" PowerBook, all without success. I would appreciate any help or suggestions with grateful thanks.
PowerBook G4 17" Mac OS X (10.4.3) With Apple 23" Cinema HD Display

An update... I've discovered that whenever "dissolve" or "fade to black" is played for any photo in the slide show, all others then default to "dissolve". To me, this is clearly a bug! For example, when I set the overall default to be "cube", and all photos set to "default (cube)", it plays fine. When I adjust just one photo to "dissolve", then cube plays for all photos up to that one, then all subsequent photos play "dissolve", and this even continues when the slide show auto-repeats (even thought the fist ones in the show first played "cube")!! I have to quite iPhoto and restart to get back the cube transition. If I set the one photo to "fade to black", a very similar behaviour... all photos after the "fade to black" photo play "dissolve" (yes! not fade to black, but DISSOLVE!) I spent a good amount of time with Apple this week, all the way up to a product specialist. The 2nd level tech support seems to think it's an iPhoto bug, somehow in the way it behaves on the G4 sawtooth. The product specialist was a bit more cagey, suggesting that no one has ever called in with this complaint, and blaming my processor upgrade (a Sonnet 1.2G which has never given me any problem). So... please call in if you have this problem and make your voice heard!!

Internal error when trying to preview slideshow

Hi all, this seems like an error a few people have had but I cant seem to find an answer for this.
Regarding Lightroom Slideshow module: When I click on the preview button I get the following error:
An internal error has occurred: ?:0: attempt at index a nil value.
This occurs with any group of images I select in my catalog.
I feel this is due to a permissions fault. I was previewing slideshows fine until yesterday when I deleted one of the users profiles on my windows PC. Since then the problem has occured. I now have only one user profile (password protected admin).
Anybody any help? This is a real pain and I'm having to wait a long time exporting slideshows rather than a quick preview.
I've tried in LR5 and the newly downloaded LR CC.
Any help appreciated.
Regards,
Dan

Hi there,
Are you able to reproduce the issue consistantly with the project. Can you please ask your coworker to publish a blank project and see its working fine or not?. In case if the issue is project specific, then can you please send the .cptx file to us so that we can investigate the issue at our end. Please upload it to a shared workspace(Acrobat.com) and send me the link at [email protected]
Thanks,
Nimmy Sukumaran.

Slideshow transitions are choppy

Hello,
I just upgraded to Lightroom 5 (CC) from 4 and now my slideshow transitions aren't smooth. I tried changing the duration but that didn't help.
Anyone else experience this problem?

I decided to look at my graphics card which turns out is older than I thought it was. It didn't support DirectX 10. I removed it, updated my native card's driver and it resolved the issue.

Hi, I've just installed mavericks but my HPc4180 will not print and is showing a 'blank' page in previews can anyone help me?

Hi, I've just installed mavericks but my HPc4180 will not print and is showing a 'blank' page in previews can anyone help me?

A few suggestions for you:
Try:
uninstall all HP utilities or other HP apps on your Mac
see if there is updated software on the HP website
go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
control-click on your printer in the column on the left
select "Reset Printing System..." and "reset" in the dialog that follows
Do a factory reset on your printer
go back to printers & scanners and it should see your printer and download a driver for it from Apple

How do I get Preview Slideshow to appear in external monitor/projector

In Preview in Snow Leopard, I could set up a slideshow and use it for presentations through an external monitor or on a screen using a projector. I did this by dragging the Preview window onto the external monitor and then clicking on View/Slideshow. A kind of poor man's PowerPoint presentation, but very quick to set up. Now, unless the displays are mirrored, as soon as I click on View/Slideshow, the slideshow is "sucked" back onto the screen on my MacBook, leaving the external screen blank.
I have found that there are alternatives to Preview available, like Xee, but with the Preview slideshow feature, only the pictures appear on the screen, with all the background being black, which looks more "professional".
Does anyone know if there's anything I can do to stop the Preview slideshow ending up back on the MacBook?
David

There is something terribly wrong with Lion's support for two monitors, compared to previous Mac OSes, and it looks like you have found another instance of that fact. Oddly enough it seems like QuickLook may work where Preview doesn't. Anyway, I have two monitors and if I move a folder full of images to the secondary monitor, then select the images and right click and then click QuickLook in the Contextual Menu, then click the full screen arrows and the play button, the slideshow will play on the second monitor. If I open the pix in Preview, move the Preview window to the second monitor, and select "Play Slideshow" it promptly moves everything to the main screen, ditto for clicking the full screen arrows within Preview--moves to main monitor and in effect turns off secondary monitor. So give QuickLook a try and see if that will work for your purposes.

Slideshow Transitions in iPhoto 3 won't export to QuickTime

Hello,
Would anyone be able to offer any suggestions/solutions to the problem I'm having with Slideshow transitions in iPhoto? I like the Cube transition, for example, and it appears on the screen when I tell iPhoto to play a slideshow that I am developing, but when I go to export same as a QuickTime movie, the transition in effect is Dissolve and not the specified Cube.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Sincerely,
ByTheLIghtOfQuiveringAspensMade

BTLQAM:
Can you give us some additional information regarding your setup: model, RAM, hard drive size and free space, system version, QT version, and exact iPhoto version?
You will have to update to iPhoto 5 in order to be able to get other than the dissolve transition in your iPhoto QT slideshows.

USB Pointer problems with Preview slideshow view

I often give talks for which my slides are in PDF format (typically produced using LaTeX). Under Mountain Lion I could open the relevant PDF in Preview Slideshow View and click between slides using a Logitech pointer (Model R-RB5). Since updating to Mavericks, however, the pointer will no longer advance slides. It seems to work as expected to move between pages if Preview is not full-screen, or if it's in full-screen mode, just not in slideshow mode (and full-screen mode isn't ideal for giving talks). All seems to be fine in Adobe Reader, but I prefer Preview for one or two reasons, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Everybody, report preview problems to apple at:

My biggest problem in preview 4.0 is it freezes while trying to view large images across four apple LCD's. Sometimes I see a gray screen.

Slideshow transitions

Does anyone know if third-party plug-ins are available for iPhoto slideshow transitions? Or, is there a way to edit the characteristics of an existing transition?
I was disappointed in the dissolve transition in iPhoto 5, in that the image brightness dims during the transition. This makes transitions between images that build on each other seem too obvious instead of allowing the new element to just fade into view (particularly noticeable when using a white background). This aspect appears unchanged in iPhoto 6.
I'd love to know if anyone else has been frustrated by this. Have you discovered a work-around, or is there another slideshow program that gives more control in this area but will still export to iDVD?

Frederick:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Haven't seen any 3rd party transitions available for iPhoto. If you don't use Ken Burns effects you can build your slideshow right in iDVD by importing from an album in iPhoto and add your transition in iDVD. You will be limited to only 1 transition per slideshow the the image quality is generally superior to that of the slideshows created in iPhoto and exported to iDVD.

Using the Preview Slideshow

Is there any way to set the time for displaying a picture using the slideshow feature in Preview. There doesn't seem to be any way to set it in Preview Preferences.

Sorry for the late reply. I've been having issues with my cable connection. The only reason for the Preview slideshow is that I can do a slideshow from the pictures off my memory card, without downloading them to iPhoto. In Preview Preferences, I select "Open all images in one window". I have a card reader & all I do is select the files on the memory card & then Preview slideshow. If you take a bunch of pictures & want to see them right away, without having to download them, for me, it's a lot easier to do a slideshow that way.
