Problem exporting slideshows without transitions

I've been trying to export slideshows (really QT movies) from iPhoto 11 (9.5) without transition effects. In other words, I just want to export the raw movie file as captured. In the slideshow settings, I cannot access "transitions," although the check box is not checked anyway. Every movie I export, however, includes a fade out at the end, which I definitely do not want. The other check boxes are working as they are meant to.
I'm using an iMac 2.9 GHz Intel i5, running Mavericks. Both iPhoto and Mavericks have been updated to the latest version. Anyone else having this problem? If so, any suggestions how to overcome it?
Thanks in advance.

I don't beleive you can avoid the fade out, so I would add a black jpeg on the end of the slideshow so your last shot isn't faded.

Problem exporting slideshow

I hope someone can help me, I am new to MAC. I have just created my first slideshow in iPhoto (88 slides-3 songs). When I preview the slideshow in iPhotos the slides and photos are in perfect sync. I then export the slideshow to iDVD as I have read is required to burn it to DVD. I have found that for some reason during the exporting process, the slides and music have moved out of sync (the slides finish, but the music is still going - about 5-10 secs out). Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong, or what the problem may be. Thanks in advance.

Julie:
That seems to be a "bug" in V5 that has bitten a lot of people. My suggestion is to create the slideshow without music and then export to Quicktime. Import that file into iMovie where you can add the audio tracks more precisely and then send to iDVD from there.
If you're not using any Ken Burns effects you might consider building the slideshow from within iDVD from the stills. You can add transitions there and create a playlist in iTunes to play with the slideshow. I find that I get a better final product if I do it that way. Since I don't use the KB effect it works best for me. Good luck.

How to export slideshow without losing resolution?

I've used Macs for years, but I'm now having my first experiences with iLife. I've found similar questions to this one discussed here, but not exactly this question, I think.
I have created a slideshow in iPhoto, complete with painstakingly set up Ken Burns effects timed to coincide with transition points in the music that accompanies the slide show.
I would now like to send the slide show to a friend, in some way so that the friend can view it in very high resolution, just like I can, and maintaining the timing of slides to music.
How can I do this? Exporting the slideshow as a .mov was a huge disappointment. Iphoto 6 only offers three resolution settings, and even the highest is much too low. Also, the timing got messed up in the .mov -- the slides advance too fast for the music.
I tried Share->Send to iDVD, to see how that would work, but that failed entirely. I got an error message saying "the export movie file could not be created." Some day I'd like to figure out how to fix that problem, but it's only a high (i.e. pre-Christmas) priority if it's necessary to get my friend the slideshow.
So what should I do? Will I need to re-make the entire slideshow in another application? That would take me a lot of time, and also I'm concerned about the level of editing control that I'd have in applications other than iPhoto. It looks like that would give me more control over exact duration of each picture, but less control over exactly how the Ken Burns effect pans and zooms over each picture, which is important to me. Maybe I'm wrong about that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Medhead:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The largest you can get any slideshow will be the size sent to iDVD, 720 x 540. If you create it in iMovie and export as Full Quality that will be the same. If you select Expert Settings you can select the H.264 compression with Best Quality compressions and multipass for best quality.
The best quality slideshows, IMO, is to create them in iDVD from imported stills. You are restricted to just one transition for the slideshow, no KB effect but can add titles or subtitles to selected slides.
The slideshows I've created this way and burned play on my plasma HD tv with great sharpness and clarity. Again its my preference to go this route to have the better image quality. Also with this method it's a true slideshow where the viewer can go backward slide by slide with just one click. No rewinding of the movie like with a regular movie file.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application, iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Problems exporting slideshow with music from iPhoto 5 to iDVD

I made a slideshow on iPhoto, and selected one Playlist with 4 tracks as backgroundmusic. When I ¨play¨the slideshow in ¨iPhoto¨ I can listen the music ( all 4 tracks), but when I ¨export¨ the slideshow or ¨send to iDVD¨, the final Quicktime movie contains all the fotos but only the first track of the Playlist.
I use Quicktime 7.1.3, iPhoto 5.0.4 and iTunes 7.0.2
Can somebody help me to find a solution...:)...? thanks...
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

this was a known problem with iPhoto 5. do you have the latest update to iPhoto 5?
Only one song exporting with Slideshows
With iPhoto 5 this seems to be a know problem/bug. There have been some work-arounds. Don't know if the problem is with iPhoto, Quicktime or a combo of both.
-From Bob Worthington: re-ripping the cuts I wanted as background music for the DVD as a single cut in iTunes. I then made a playlist containing the one extended cut of music.
-Old Toad: share to Quicktime from iPhoto and then import the resulting movie into iMovie you can extract and delete the audio from the video and add the two songs to the video and save.
Quicktime Pro-open the movie and bring up the Movie Properties menu window. In the top window select the audio track and delete it.
If you want more than one song you'll have to join them together with iMovie or some other application. Then open that joined file with QT Player. Then do a select all and copy. Now go to the QT window of the movie and select the Edit->Add to Movie menu option. You don't want to scale it because it will change the play speed of the audio unless it's time is exactly the same as the movie.
You could go the other way, open the movie, select all and copy, and then past with scaling to the audio. That will change the speed of the movie and transitions to fit the audio track. In this case the resulting video file will have the name of the audio track file that you started with.
You may have to play with it a bit to get exactly what you want. Be sure to work with copies of all the media files for the project.
-Peter Burtwistle: I opened the Qt movie that iPhoto makes when you export to iDVD and removed the sound track.
Then made a new soundtrack by opening all three songs in QT, then cutting and pasting them together.
Finally use QT Pro's 'Add to Movie" option to add the soundtrack to the original movie.
This worked well and was fast to do too.
-Joe Lombardo: I ended up having to extend the songs by 20 seconds so I brought them all into GarageBand and made some edits. Then I exported them all to iTunes as a single track and used that for the slideshow
From scotty321 at MacOSXHints.com: If you have Roxio Toast Titanium installed on your machine, you can join unprotected tracks yourself by simulating a disc burn. Simply take these steps:
Go to the Audio tab in Toast.
Drag your audio files from iTunes into Toast.
Reshuffle them in the proper order within Toast.
Go up to File: Save As Disc Image. Save your disc image somewhere on your Desktop.
Choose Utilities: Mount Disc Image. The CD will mount on your desktop, and iTunes will think that you just inserted a CD.
Within iTunes, select the tracks that you want to join and then use Advanced: Join CD Tracks.
Go through the import process, and you've got a joined track! Simply rename the track to whatever you want to call it, and you're good to go.
From Lori...
Burn the playlist in iTunes.
Make sure you have itunes Prefs just open the Cd and not automatically play or import the songs.
Insert the burned CD and iTunes will open.
Within iTunes, select the tracks that you want to join and then use Advanced: Join CD Tracks.
Go to Advanced>convert selection to AAC.
When done, make a new playlist named after the slideshow.
Put the new combined track into the playlist.
In iPhoto, select this playlist for your slideshow.

Problem Exporting slideshow with soundtrack in LR3.

I am trying to export a slideshow for a homework assignment. When exporting video with "pictures only" it exports just fine. When I add a soundtrack I receive:
“Log (6)
Assertion Failed: Seld->aenc
AVC video encorder…
infor: version 8.0.0.47059
Info: Platform: Windows 64bit
mc_enc_avc.001)
extendedoption: Media_time_offest : 0.000000-> 1000.000000”
I have exported a slideshow with music before and never had problems with it. What can I do to fix the problem?
I use a pc windows 7

After much research, I discovered that iTunes can create a compatible .m4a file
in iTunes, highlight the Voice Memo you want to convert, then select Advanced...Create AAC Version.
This will convert the file and create a .m4a file of the same name.
Unfortunately, it is not in the same directory, and iTunes gives no feedback as to where it is.
Nor does it list it in the VoiceMemo playlist in iTunes.
I found it in iTunes\Music\Music\My iPod\Voice Memos\
My sincere thanks to Dan Tull of Adobe for giving me the clues I needed to sort this out.
He has also flagged a bug report so hopefully future versions of LR will handle this situation more gracefully.

Problem exporting slideshow from Aperture

I have done a slideshow with about 300 photos and movie (hd). If I try to export, after more than 3 hours I obtain only music without video or only the final part of video with the first part of music.
Does exist a limit of photos/movies for slideshow? May you help me?
Thanks.

I received this error, when exporting the slideshow.
The slideshow took some time to export and the display on the Mac was set to sleep within the hour.
The display went to sleep and soon afterwards, I received the error.
If you have your display set to go to sleep then this could be one reason why you are receiving this error.
If not then I'm stumped for another answer.

Exporting slideshow problem

Using Aperture, I have been able to export a slideshow with music in 1080p and 720p. When I tried to do the same on both my MacBookPro and iMac, both OSX 10.8.5, in a lower resolution, the file will not open and I get the following error message:
License Error: mocha AE CS6 must only be launched from After Effects
Please visit our FAQ at http://www.imagineersystems.com/support/faq for further information.
When I go to that site, I cannot get any insight.
Previously, I've been able to export in smaller formats, but not now.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tom

Does your exported slideshow video open, when you ctrl-click it and use "Open with > QuickTime Player" from the contextual menu?
If yes, select one of the videos in the Finder, use the Finder command "File > Get Info" and set the "open with" for the video to "QuickTime Player".
And press the "Change all" button.

IPhoto 6 Won't Export Slideshow Audio to QuickTime

When "exporting" iPhoto 6 albums to Quicktime the audio selected in iTunes does not export with the selected Album photos. iPhoto "Help" says that iTunes' music selected for the slideshow also will export as the Album's "selected" music. But the slideshow music selection will not export to QuickTime with the iPhoto 6 photo album. Has anyone solved this problem? Thank you very much for any suggestions you may have!

My situation is a bit different. I can not seem to export a "slideshow" without getting that awful sample music.
The process is File>Export>QuickTime. No Make Slideshow and then export.
From the Help files I am supposed to create a slideshow and then select music from iTunes in the SlideShow settings menu. Of course, I've now got a slide show with a huge filesize I didn't want. Delete isn't that big of a step. So now it is back to File>Export>QuickTime and check the box to add selected music.
Of course, there is no way to know if the music has been identified and included in the export. Just trust, I guess. OK, make the export happen.
Now, open the QuickTime movie file I just created. Once again, that awful sample music has been included. I've done this so many times with the same result.
Work around is to export the images as a QuickTime movie with no music. Then open the QuickTime move and add music.
Any idea as to why Apple put that stupid music checkbox in the File>Export menu if it only grabs the awful sample music?

Exported Slideshow Colour Issues

Hello,
I've created a slideshow, and managed to export it without any problems, but when I viewed the exported slideshow, the colours had changed dramatically. Vivid oranges and reds seemed blown-out, skin tones didn't look right, etc.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I would like to add my issue to that of Jacqueline's. I have exported a number of pictures from iPhoto to flash drives, CD, and a show in DVD. As with the color issue referenced by Jacqueline, I also see images coming out a bit darker, with more contrast, than I see on my MacBookPro in iPhoto.
I would also appreciate help if it could that something with my MacBookPro screen settings or if I am doing something wrong in the transfer process.
Thanks.

How can I export slideshows created in Aperture v3.3.2 from Mid-2009 MacBook Pro-17 to blank DVDs?

(Fifth futile attempt in two hours, before I learned there was a Post webpage – I’m new to ApSuppCom - and after I learned that I am not allowed to update previous content, so I had to back out, make a few changes, and start over.) How can I export slideshows created in Aperture v3.3.2 (complete with superimposed captions and music tracks) from Mid-2009 MacBook Pro-17 to blank DVDs ? (Some other specs: Mac OS Lion 10.7.5; Capacity 499.5 GB; Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; Memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3; Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256MB)
I cannot do a copy (export) without various error messages appearing and the inevitable stoppage occurring. Always with the DVD Video Player final message reading, “Supported disc not available.” Advisors and Mac Geniuses at local Apple Stores have told me to try Roxio Toast. When I visited the Roxio website, and found numerous other company products, the descriptions all seemed to suggest that most of the apps shown can easily export videos to DVDs, but nothing was said about finished digital slide shows being exported. At future events soon, I hope to be handing out these finished DVDs (free) to the people in them. Any help will be greatly appreciated. A.Z.

How can I export slideshows created in Aperture v3.3.2 (complete with superimposed captions and music tracks) from Mid-2009 MacBook Pro-17 to blank DVDs ?
Aperture cannot burn slideshows to a DVD. It only can export a video of your slideshow.
In Aperture 3 you use the "Export" button in Aperture's slideshow project to render a video to a folder on your disk.
Then you use iDVD or another program to burn a video DVD.
I cannot do a copy (export) without various error messages appearing and the inevitable stoppage occurring. Always with the DVD Video Player final message reading, “Supported disc not available.”
Could you please describe the exact steps that are causing these error messages?
How are you exporting your slideshow from Aperture? Which settings are you using? And how are you importing the video to iDVD or Toast to burn a video DVD?

Hello everybody, is anybody else having problems exporting music to their iphone 4's from their itunes 10.6.1. (7)?

hello everybody, is anybody else having problems exporting music to their iphone 4's from their itunes 10.6.1. (7)? i sure am. somehting is way differant. i used to be able to simply drag, and drop albums, artists, and entire genres to my phone without a worry. now i drag an album to my phone, and it will only add a couple of the songs. so i drag and drop again, and maybe even a third time to get all whole album on there. oh, and the album artwork is a no-show. i dont know what i'm missing. it's sure not what i'm used to. anyways, i'm new to this support community deal. thank you in advance for any help.
much respect,
tommy bravo

After further testing, I noticed that iTunes not only becomes totally unresponsive but will start using all the CPU until I kill the process. After restarting, it works again for a while and then it dies again...

Iphoto 11 9.4.2 won't export slideshow

This is what I get when I try to export a slideshow.
I have a Mac Book Pro 13 running 10.8.2
I have exported several slide shows before with my old white Mac Book.
I tried exporting slideshows with only 2 pictures, and still no luck.
Any ideas? thank you for your help in advance.

Hello,
OT, so I tried to log in with a different account, and when I tried to import pictures to iphoto, I kept getting an error about a problem with the Flip4Mac plugin. I removed the Flip4Mac plugin and now I can export slideshows again. Kind of weird but it works, so now when I need Flip4Mac I just install it and uninstall it as needed.
Thanks for your patience and all the ideas OT, and Jose Luis, if you have Flip4Mac this might solve your problem, or it might be some other external plugin! Good Luck and thanks!

Exporting Slideshows in Different Formats

Ok everyone, I'm having a few problems. I just recently ugraded to iPhoto 5.0.4 and everything is fine and dandy, but I'm wondering if there's any way that I can export slideshows that I create in different formats. Let me explain my situation; I'm a high school student in an Advanced Biology class, and our class has it's own website for the projects we do. My teacher has asked me to try to figure out a way to create slideshows with all the pictures we have for the different projects, then save/export them in a format that we can post on a web page. A friend of mine recommended that we make a page with links so that people could select their connection speed and format that they would like to download the file in, for example QuickTime, Real Player, Windows Media, Flash, etc... I've figured out how to export the files in QuickTime and Real Player compatible formats, but that's it. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Criag:
Yes, iPhoto doesn't support the 16:9 format for exporting. I suggest you useiMovie HD 6. It's still available to Mac users who have iLife 08 and are not pleased with the new iMovie which has been dumbed down from the V6 version. If you add the 16:9 photos to it you can export to that ratio. Also you'll have much more control over the audio trachs being able to cut out portions, fad in and out, overlap etc.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Pictures not showing up without transition?

I am currently trying to use iMovie HD 6.0.3 to make a slide show/movie of pictures and whatnot. I have used iMovie before, so have successfully made movies in the past. However, when trying to have certain pictures line up with the music correctly I don't use transitions in order to have them appear suddenly and with no fade-in/fade-out or anything. Without the transitions the picture doesn't appear until the bar is hovering over the picture after it, which makes timing almost impossible.
I was able to successfully do this on an older version a few years ago, a copy of which I still have on my newer computer. When I opened it, the effect does the same thing, only it didn't previously. I have a disc copy too, so I know I could have pictures appear without transitions in the past.
Is this a known problem or am I doing something wrong?

It might not be, but this looks like the same problem described in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2382794&tstart=0
and the solution probably is the same. The problem has been known to manifest upon upgrade to Quicktime 7.6.6. The solution found to have worked by other posters is to revert back to Quicktime 7.6.4 as described in the above thread.

Why do iPhoto export slideshows have missing photos

Hello Everyone
I am trying to export slideshows so I can burn to DVD later using iDVD. But as i review my exported sideshow as a .mov file, it appears to have left out photos and is incomplete, it plays out the full music tracks but it simply is a white screen. Very dissapointing after waiting so long for the export to complete. This has occurred a few times.
Please Help
thanks

1 - iPHoto is supported
2 - iPhoto can export slideshows
3 - if you want help you need to actually provide information - like what does happen - what error messages - anything else - simply saying "it does not work is not enough to have anyone help you solve your specific problem
