Problems w/ buring DVD of photo slide show & best Premiere Elements 8 upgrade recommendation please.

I created a video slide show in Adobe Photoshop & Premiere elements 8, kept getting messages: "disk space low, exceeded recommended #of slides and/or recommended 30 minute duration". So what, I want a 90 minutes slide slow?(!) It allowed me to complete, but disk burn would never finalize (after stopping at 78% 8 hours later). How do I get this project file to burn in Nero or something similar and is there better software out there? I have a ton of videos to create after this photo slide show & I certainly can't wait all night for a video to burn after it is created.
PS: I have had this problem w/ previous videos I created. i.e. in the past, using same Premiere Elements version, I have combined multiple video clips into one DVD movie but it took all night to burn. Any insight will be much appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.
I agree with John T., in that the pixel x pixel size of the Still Images would be the first thing that I would look into.
Next, I interpret that error message to be related to the available HDD space. His links on furnishing more info will be important there. Pay special attention to furnishing the full specs. of your I/O sub-system, i.e. your HDD's, their size, speed, available defragmented free-space, controller type and how you have them allocated.
A 90 min. DVD should NOT be over the avilable space on a DVD-5 disc.
If you DO have adequate defragmented free-space on your HDD(s), you should be able to Burn to Folder, and then use Nero, Roxio or the great, free ImgBurn, to do the physical burn to DVD.
However, if you have limited defragmented free-space, that will likely fail, as the working files required are very large.
In very general terms, PrE needs between 40 - 60GB of defragmented free-space, just to run effectively and efficiently. When one does either a Burn to Folder, or Burn to Disc, that necessary space can go up.
Also remember that as one approaches about 70% of HDD capacity, performance decreases. As one nears 100%, performance can slow to a crawl, and at 100% catastrophic failure of the HDD is a strong possibility. One should not exceed about 70%, and NEVER go to 100%.
Good luck, and please let us know more, and especially about your I/O sub-system.

Burning a DVD slide show on Premiere Elements 8.0

I am trying to burn a slide show on Premiere Elements 8, but when I try to save the slide show before burning my computer crashes. I've got Windows 7. My understanding is that Premiere Elements 7 and Photoshop Elements 7 do not work with Windows 7. I had both of those programs, and got Premiere and Elements 8 to remedy the problem to no avail. My computer still won't save the slide show. Any hints? Thanks.

As per my understanding, you created a slideshow in PSE organizer and now want to burn into DVD using Output dialog which launches PRE...
Which application crashes and at which step??
Through PSE you can output the video into PDF or Video...

Newbe requests help with audio for slide-show on Premiere Elements 4.

I recently wrote you regarding a problem I was having with a slide show I was making on Premiere Elements 4 importing photo clips and music from PhotoShop Elements 9. Thank you for your help.
This very large slide show, some 200 clips that I have not resized is completed. I am now having many problems with the music audio I am adding to various sequences of the slide show. Specifically:the audio will not stay fixed on the places where I put it and end it. Working on the Timeline Usually the length of the audio is shorter than the ending of the photo clips where it must go. I click on the audio and stretch it and end it at the place I designate. However, the other end has moved also so now I am left with a gap where there is no audio at the beginning of the segment. Now in addition, the "Delete and Close Gap" does not work most of the time causing me to manually move the photo tiles which sometimes move when this happens. I have to move each one or two individually to the left to close the gap and many times this causes loss of one or two photo tiles or they are out of order or have increase in number (of the one I am moving).
The program has also shut down for the past 10 days causing me to lose a good deal of work and sometimes photo clips and sometimes I get many duplicates of the photo clips. All I do is edit mostly the same two segments doing this over and over because I can't proceed to importing any more music because I can't get the first segments correct. I have chatted with you people, Sony techs, Microsoft Techs and Canon Techs. The Sony techs suggested the program was at fault and I used the original installation disk and repaired the program. It has still shut down on me but not as much.
I got error messages on the photo-cap instructions page you suggessted otherwise I would show pictures of the above problems.
I tried to copy and/or cut and paste from the Timeline thinking I would start a new slide show in PhotoShop Elements 9 using the same photos in reverse. The program would not let me copy or paste. There is great difficulty in highlighting the photo tiles in Timeline because I have to shift click on each individual tile and there are too many tiles and it would take too long to get a whole segment copied. Maybe you know another way to do this?
I am at a stand-still now and I am quite despondent because I have been working on this slide-show for 3 months and it was a surprise for my daughter's 25th anniversary that was last Tuesday.
I do hope you have some good suggestions that will lelt me complete this Project and get it on a disk. I am not that technical so please be specific.
Thanks in advance.

Here's the basic advice I'd give, based on my experience. Much depends, though, on your goals and the specifics of your computer system:
1) Resize all of your photos to no larger than 1000x750 pixels in size. This is VITAL if you want the program to maintain stability as you work. Also render often (by pressing the Enter key). When the render, the red lines above the clips on your timeline will turn green and the program will run much more efficiently.
2) Work on your large slideshow project in shorter segments. You've got over 15 minutes worth of slides. Try working on this slideshow in 5 minute segments, output each segment and then combined the finished videos.
3) Use only WAV audio as your music and audio for your slideshow.
4) When you add video, audio or stills to a parallel track on your timeline, hold down the Ctrl key to override the ripple function and your current clips will remain in place.
5) Maintain your computer by using a tool like the excellent, free, one-click Advanced System Care available at http://www.iobit.com/advancedsystemcareper.html
As for Delete and Close Gap, how it performs depends on whether you've selected Clear or Delete, whether you've pressed the Backspace key or the Delete key and if there is video or audio on a parallel track. (This is all covered in my books, by the way, if you're interested.)
Without knowing the specifics of your project and your situation, it's hard to give out more specific information -- but this advice should get you a long way toward completing your project!

I need to do non-constrained crops for Ken Burns effect in photo slide show

I am making photo slide shows in imovie '09. I understand the Ken Burns effect and how to set a start and an end point. I want to use the effect on vertical or portrait mode photos. i would like to have the entire photo displayed in portrait mode and have it zoom in a bit. The problem is The start and end points seem to only be horizontal or landscape mode. I can't ever get the entire image selected. How can I do this?
Thanks,
Tim

You need to add the letterbox (black space) in another application. iMovie's Ken Burns effect will not do it for you. You can do it in Photoshop if you like.
However, there is a way to do it in Automator, and you can do hundreds of vertical photos very quickly. That is the way I do it.
Here is more detail:
There is also a quick way to pad your images without using Photoshop. This method will pad hundreds of images in just a few seconds.
You do it with a tool that comes with OS/X called Automator. It should be in your Applications/Utilities folder.
Automator is basically a workflow tool. It allows you to string together commands and actions into a workflow and then execute the entire sequence at once. If you have Snow Leopard, you can even add these workflows to your contextual menus that come up when you right-click.
There are many workflows that would work to pad your images. Here is an example:
In Automator, start a photo workflow and drag the following actions into the workflow from the Action palettes on the left.
You should have something like:
1)Ask for Photos (You must select one or more photos and hit Select - you can make this easier by putting them in an album beforehand)
2) Copy Finder Items (give it a folder to copy to- so you can find them easily)
3) Pad Images. (put a check mark in "scale image before padding" Pick the pixel dimensions of your project...like 640x480 or 960x540. or 1920x1080
Hit Run and a dialog box will come up asking you to select photos. When you are finished, press SELECT and the Automator script will keep running.
Then at the end you should have padded images in the folder you created in step 2.

Screen Saver Photo Slide Show...

...Hello... This used to work but for some reason it doesn't any more. Whenever I go to the screen saver preferences and choose a folder full of pictures to use as a photo slide show screen saver, it says 'folder contains no pictures'. However, is DOES contain pictures but won't recognize them. All the other screen saver features work besides this one. I tried to download and install some screensaver a while back and it hasn't worked since then... Any ideas? Thanks =)

Photo Slide Shows - inconsistent quality

Last summer I burned a very complicated idvd photo slide show using digital photos in RAW format from my Nikon D70 and the slides looked really great. I just tried to do it again - same camera, same lens, still in RAW and the photos - while looking good during construction and test runs, come out very fuzzy on the burned dvd. I'm really puzzled. Can anyone explain what I might have done differently to yield such different results? [and how I get back to the good results?)
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9) different photo quality in different burns

Tom,
I hope you have read Preparing images for DVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/17.html
The best you can do is get about a 640x480 equivalent image on a DVD - that's about 0.3 megapixels - so there is NO way you can match the image quality of your high resolution digital images.
Despite their names, you will get slightly better image quality using the 'Best Performance' mode than you will with the 'Best Quality' mode. Perhaps you used BP before and BQ now.
I have used FotoMagico for creating slideshows and feel I got better image quality than iMovie or iDVD and some people like Photo to Movie.

Help! during my photo slide show/some screens are green and/colored-why

This is my first photo slide show in IMOVIE 8, when I go to "play" my slide show, some photo are NOT showing up INSTEAD a "colored" screen comes up. WHY? Not sure what I did wrong.

I to have the same problem. It is very annoying, I name my photos so that they would be in a specific order or grouping.
It appears that a programmer slipped? When I write code to copy files I would sort the list by filename as done in OS versions prior to 4.0.
The order of the photos is now in the order that they were added to the folder which is then sync'd to our pods.
I for one am not willing to remove and rebuild my whole photo library re-adding the photos to the sync'd in the order I wish to see them every time I wish to add more photos.
It is a disappointment, but I have not been online in a couple of weeks and maybe Apple has caught on and put filename sorting back into the code.

Modifying Photo Slide Show Template

Hello All,
I've never used Flash before, and I don't know any
ActionScript. I am using Flash 8 Professional on Windows XP
Professional. I believe my problem is fairly simple to solve, but I
have not been able to find any information on the Internet. I would
greatly appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
I am using the Photo Slide Show template, and I would like to
add transition effects to it. Is this possible? If so, how would I
go about doing it? Please help me. I appreciate your time and
consideration.
Thanks,

Hi Sisilla,
I was just thinking that if you need to get a nice slideshow
with effects going on your website quickly you could use another
program that specializes in just that. There are lots of
these Flash slideshow programs that you can download. Here is one..
http://www.amarasoftware.com/flash-slide-show.htm
(I never tried it myself) If you put "Flash slideshow maker"
in a google search you will see there are lots of em.
Also, other Flash creation programs like SwishMax have
built-in transition effects that you can use. It is much easier
than trying
to do the same thing in Adobe Flash. You could get your
slideshow going quicker since it takes longer to learn Adobe Flash.
luck,
tralfaz

How can I control the music that plays during Apple TV photo slide shows?

I don't want to make my parents listen to Breaking Benjamin music as they watch my photo slide shows on Apple TV. Need something more sedate. But if a B.B. song is in my iTunes music library, it is a candidate for random selection as background music for my slide shows. How do I control what music plays during Apple TV photo slide shows?

What I find is really silly, is the fact the music video's are listed under that artists albums in the Music menu. And when you go into the video 'album' (called 'Unknown' unless you change it) there is an option to shuffle the tracks. Clicking this just results in an error message. So, they should either remove that option if it is a video album, or, better yet, GET IT TO WORK. So silly of them to omit this.
I have submitted feedback.

In iOS 4, you could make separate photo slide shows with separate songs.
In iOS 5, this has changed. Now only 1 song is allowed at a time. It will not save separate song selections for each slide show.
Is there any way to fix this? This is something I use every day.
I am on an iPad 2, 32gb, wifi...
Thank you

My Photos app works the same on iOS 5 as it did on iOS 4 i.e. I can have a different track for each album. When I select a track for a photo album I then start the slideshow so that it shows the first couple of photos with the track playing - I'm not sure it's necessary to start the slideshow but I always do and it remembers that track for that album.

How can I create a DVD (not CD) slide show with PSE8. Is the only option CD?

Do I need to upgrade to PSE9 for the DVD option for slide show output?

No, you can't create a video dvd with just PSE, and PSE 9 is no different from any other version where this is concerned. (Adobe wants you to use Premiere Elements.) However, if you have a DVD burner, you must have gotten some kind of software with it that can make a DVD for you. Create your slideshow, output as WMV and then use your other software to burn the actual video disc.

How can I do this photo slide show
