Project settings for photo slide show for Elements 9

Hello everyone.    Making a wedding slideshow of photos with pixels set to 1000 x 750 with elements 9.  Which project setting should I choose?  there is so many from the new video camera format, to HD Cameras, flip etc..  Widescreen, Standard, too many to choose but nothing for straight pictures.
output will be computer to LCD screen, also will burn copies for viewing on LCD widescreen TVs via DVD.  Any direction would be appreciated and which setting to choose.  I am at a loss.
Thanks in advance

I would choose the NTSC (or PAL, if you live in PAL-land) DV Widescreen, based on that target DVD-Video.
With Still Images only, one can then let the output determine the Project.
One additional option, but the 1000 x 750 preculdes that, would be to do an HD Project, as per output to BD. Then, Export/Share that Project as a DV-AVI and Import that into a DV Widescreen Project for the DVD-Video. One would still have the BD, HD Project, should they ever wish to produce a BD.
Now, are the Still Images originally from larger files, say 4000 x 3000? If they are, I would probably go with that HD Project, re-Scale the Stills to 1920 x 1080, or very similar, and work with those. As there ARE more pixels, one consideration would be whether there are too many of the Stills for the particular computer to handle.
I always try to work with the highest def material, that I can, and then down-rez upon Export (with but a few exceptions).
To summarize, either the HD Project (with re-Scaled Stills), and then Exported/Imported into a DV Project for the DVD-Video, or just starting the DV Widescreen, and going straight to DVD-Video would be fine.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • 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.

  • What is best app for photo slide show with music

    Photoshop, Elements, or LR - for photo slide show with music

    Are those the only choices you want to consider? Which do you already use? Here's my take on the slideshow capability in each:
    Photoshop CS6 and CC: You can create slieshows in a video format but you will have to crawl through hoops and climb barrels to get what you want. The timeline feature of Photoshop is not exactly intuitive.
    Elements: Can't comment since I have never used the software.
    Lightroom: much easier than Photoshop to create a slideshow but also extremely feature limited. Slideshows can run directly from the software or rendered as a video. Only one music track is allowed with limtied transitions effects. Want the fabled 'Ken Burns' effect? Forget it!
    Neither of these choices specifically target slideshow creation and I would certainly not pick any for this purpose (unless you already use them). Best to seek software dedicated for slideshows. Several are free.

    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.

  • Fix for AppleTV photo slide show music stopping after abut 20 minutes?

    Fix for AppleTV photo slide show music stopping after abut 20 minutes?

    Just ran another series of tests ... I am now convinced that AppleTV's slideshow/screensaver is broken.
    Too often it will 'get stuck' on one photo for minutes then show no photo and finally move on; in fact it is doing it right now.
    I don't ever remember seeing this occur before the last upgrade.

  • 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.

  • Correct PPro CS3 Project Settings for Neoscene/Cineform 1080 60i .avi files?

    I am looking for clarification on the correct Premiere CS3 project settings for AVCHD 1080 60i NTSC files converted with Neo Scene with the "maintain source frame format" option.
    Should the PPro project settings for "Field" be upper or lower field first?
    On a Cineform discussion board I was told all interlaced HD footage is upper field first.
    However, I have found that a PPro project setting of upper field first results in much more sluggish playback than lower field first.
    So seems there is additional processing needed with the upper field first project setting and this suggests to me that lower field first is the proper setting.
    Any thoughts from NeoScene/Cineform users out there?
    Thanks!
    The project settings I have been using are:
    Editing Mode: Desktop
    Timebase: 29.97
    Frame size: 1920 x 1080
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels (1.0)
    Fields: Lower Field First
    Audio: 48000

    ...is not so good - bad colours. In Microsoft DV Avi-DV Pal compression. D1/DV PAL Wide is pixelate. I have click the de-interlace so it is not because of that. I have no problem to use encore it the file i send is compressed in those settings i mention before. I have no problems in compressing the file with those settings at all, like i have when i want to transfor the video in avi uncompressed.
    Oaaa...i am going crazy here. I have had so many problems with this and if i end up working this documentary and not beeing able to export it i go mad!...this if i do not go there before because of this problems...

  • Which project settings for project for Canon Powershot Video Editing?

    Which project settings for project for Canon Powershot Video Editing?
    I want to edit video taken with a Canon Powershot SD 550 taken in NTSC 640 x 480. When I start a new project, which project settings should I be using? Also when exporting the project to view on a computer should I stick with the AVI or will MPEG or another universal format give me better end quality?

    Hunt,
    This user has two thread topics here that are identical to ones at the forum which I frequent. Early on I  downloaded video from the Canon Powershot that he says he is using for the basis of my comments. So, I have put that video through gspot myself. Since the user is going between the two forums (mostly here), I did not want anything lost in the back and forth. The goal is to help attainment of the goal. That is why I am including comments at both locations:

I am in the process of personally checking out what he said worked for him in that regard. However, the user has not gotten back to me on the topic of project settings.
    So to expedite matters, when you get a chance, could you please check out my comments in that thread? I would be interested in your perspective on the matter and what I wrote.

  • When I transfer a slide show from elements to Premier Elements, many slides are rotated.

    Why do my slides rotate 90 degrees when I transfer the slide show from Elements (9) to Premier Elements (12)

    BERLARKER
    Thanks for the follow up with additional information.
    Elements Organizer 12 Premiere Elements 12 Editor
    Bottom line: I suspect that you have stressed out the system with too many photos oversized for the project settings. But let us explore the situation to confirm or refute that first impression.
    Details:
    If you have a 44 minute slideshow and photos each with 5 second duration, then my guess-estimate would be that your slideshow has about 528 photo with pixel dimension of 3264 x 2448 (4:3) or 2448 x 3264 (3:4).
    First concern, too many photos with pixel dimensions oversized for the project....you may have to resize your photos not to exceed 1000 x 750 4:3.
    When you output this slideshow from the Elements Organizer 12 Slideshow Editor, you cannot use both "Edit with Premiere Elements Editor" and "Save As a File MOV (wmv):".
    For now I will assume that you are using "Edit with Premiere Elements Editor".
    Unless you are setting the Premiere Elements 12 Editor project preset manually, you are ending up with the wrong project preset
    The Premiere Elements 12 Editor project preset is probably its default NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 (a 16:9 project preset) instead of NTSC DV Standard (a 4:3 project preset). .
    If all my assumptions are correct, then
    1. In the Elements Organizer 12, create your slideshow with your 528 photos each with pixel dimensions not to exceed 1000 x 750 (could go higher if you can do so without jeopardizing the workflow...but, no matter how high the resolution, the end product will reflect the resolution of the export format, 720 x 480).
    You are going to output the slideshow using Edit with Premiere Elements Editor.
    2. Before you hit the Edit with Premiere Elements Editor choice in Elements Organizer 12 Output, open Premiere Elements 12 Editor Expert workspace, and set the project preset manually to NTSC DV Standard.
    File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings
    In Change Settings, change the project preset to NTSC DV Standard
    OK out of that area.
    In the new project dialog that appears, make sure that you have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Settings on this Project".
    OK out of that area.
    Minimize Premiere Elements Editor.
    3. Open the Elements Organizer 12 again, and hit Edit with Premiere Elements Editor.
    Premiere Elements 12 Editor will open...you will see a folder for slideshow assets and a video file for your slideshow in Project Assets...on the
    Timeline you should see your slideshow in the video format. If you want to do further significant edits of the Timeline content which is now in
    a whole video format, right click that Timeline content and select Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow.
    Please review and consider. Perhaps do some mini test runs to define your situation further.
    We will be watching for your results. If any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

    after making the photo slide show, i clicked share>export movie.  after which i burned using toast. the file became a .mov.  i tried playing it in my mac and it worked. my fear now is will it also play in a regular dvd?... i read from google that mov files won't run in dvd players.  what format should i convert it to so it'll play in a dvd player.  can you suggest a faster way i can burn my projects for it takes me almost an hour to export.  im going to make 28 slideshows for my kids in school. *=( if i need to do this process 28 times, i may not be able to finish it on time.  please suggest a software or an alternative as to how i should do this... m more comfortable using imovie than iphoto.  thanks and i hope to hear from someone soon *=j

    Thank you QuickTimeKirk...used toast to burn project... my project was in .mov, i tried to play it a dvd player, it did play... will try again tomorrow using another dvd player just to be sure it'll will really work with dvd players.  thank you again for your reply *=)

    Currently, Revel supports jpg files only. We are adding many enhancements so this may change in the future. Reading some of our FAQ's might be helpful for you to get some more information, so I will include some here for you. Only version 11 of elements has connectivity with Revel, but you can upload files from your computer as well.

  • How do I open slide show in Elements 7.0

    when I click on slide show the organizer loads and then it tries to load slide show but all I get is a warnig from IE that slide show can't load and then it quits loading and freezes the organizer so that I need to close it through the task manager. I have changed preferences and it did not help.

    I had already tried a new user account and that did not work. I just reinstalled Photoshop elements and that did no good. I also reset preferences and that did no good. I just now tried to set up my 1st album I created and it sent me the same message not from IE but I am attaching a screen shot of the error message. I also installed the program on my laptop that is running Vista and the slide show works fine but it will not let me set up Premier for some unknown reason. Also my kodak printer will not print the photo size (6x4) when it is selected. I have to print it out using Kodak programming or with my old version of Adobe photo shop. The old version however does not recognize some of the new fangled things used in the 7.0 version. I may have used the wrong description of the error message, but the  screen shot will show who is sending the error messages.

    Subject: how do I open slide show in Elements 7.0
    You broke your filetype associations. IE should not launch when you open a slideshow. it previews in the organizer itself. Either that or you broke your registry. Try uninstalling the software and reinstalling. (no you will not lose all your pictures or work.) If that doesn't work, try creating a new account on your computer. If you are unsure of how to do that, call your computer manufacturer, do not call Adobe, they are closed on the weekends, for support.

  • Can video files be added to a slide show in Elements 5 or 10?

    Can video files be added to a slide show in Elements 5 or 10?

    I would recommend PSE11/PRE11 if you want to use them on an integrated basis. Only the current product is supported by Adobe. Or you could get PRE10 if you are not concerned about support.
    But be aware that one version will not integrate with another. They will work as stand alone apps but you would loose some flexibility. For example I start in the Slideshow editor in PSE, add my photos and transitions and then click Output >> Edit with PRE. The slideshow gets sent automatically as a clip and I can do further editing, add video, add music and narration etc.

  • 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.
