PSE 4 Slide Shows and Collections

A great way to assemble a slide show is to scan through the photos in the Organizer, putting the slide show candidates in a Collection established for the purpose. Then you can work with the relatively small Collection to choose and arrange the photos for your slides. I've done this on five slide shows so far, and it's great.
But now that my slide shows have been created, I really have no need for the Collections I made specifically to create them. I'm afraid to delete the Collections, because I worry that doing so will clobber my slide show projects.
Does anybody know about this? Also, are the projects saved in a folder somewhere, or only as part of the Catalog?

Karin Sue,
>Also, are the projects saved in a folder somewhere, or only as part of the Catalog?"
The definition of the "project", which is the "Creation" in Organizer terms is saved only in the Catalog.
>If you publish your creation as a pdf or wmv they are saved in the folder you designate. Once published, I don't believe there is any way to edit. If you save the creation, you can go back and edit and republish if you like.
Yes, the WMV or PDF file is saved in the folder that you designate. You are correct that if you save the Creation, you can go back and re-edit. When you Save the Creation gets a thumbnail within the Organizer photo well and you can click on the thumbnail to go back in to the Creation process make modifications and save a new WMV or PDF file.
Note: that the Save window documents that the PDF choice does not support some options such as Pan and zoom, videos, and certain transitiions.

  • I would like to create a slide show and then burn to a DVD.  I may be interested in adding music.  Should I use iPhone, iMovie or a simple Powerpoint?

    I am going to be creating a slide show and then burning it to a couple of DVDs.  I have used PPT in the past for simple slide shows for speaking engagements, but I am interested in adding music to this slide show.  What is the best/easiest application to use?  iMovie, iPhoto or Powerpoint?
    Thanks!

    burning it to a couple of DVDs
    Is it your intention to create video DVDS that can be played on TV sets via DVD players?  If so you'll need a video DVD authoring application like iDVD.
    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure 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, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is 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.
    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago. 
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    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.

  • IWeb site loses functionality (Slide Show and Click to Enlarge)

    I have three iWeb sites, to which I have added Slide Show and Click to Enlarge features on Photo pages. They are all published via web.mac.com.
    Two of them lost these abilities after about a week, although the cursor still changes from an arrow to a hand when passing over Start Slideshow and the various pictures. The other site still functions normally.
    Recommendations?

    This first site works fine; Emma's Web Site and Ellen's Web Site do not. (Please see the links.)

  • I am trying to add music to my slide show and I get this error:

    I am trying to add music to my slide show and I get this error:  The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (codec) installed.  I went to the Adobe site and downloaded a codec program, and restarted but still got the same error.  Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you - I followed the instructions attached to your response, and I deleted the artwork from the three songs that I want to use, however, when I drag them into Photoshop I am still getting the same error message.  I also don't see an option to convert the song to an MP3.  I tried going to File and Get Info, and there isn't an option.  I also tried right click on the song, but didn't see anything there either...?

  • Elements 5.0.  How to create a C.D. from a slide show or collection

    I was able to create a C.D. that will play on my DVD player on my television, but I cannot seem to play it back on my computer. Apparently my computer cant read the files. Can someone walk me through the steps to create a back up C.D. of a slide show or collection? Can't be that hard. Steve

    How did you burn the CD.
    If you have slideshow, there is a option to get output in CD. Also there is an option under Share tab of Organizer.

  • I made a 46.5 min aperture slide show and tried a number of times to Export it so I can burn it to DVD to be viewed on an HDTV, so far with no success!  I set computer sleep to 3hrs and let it export over night and the furthest i've gotten is 66% Exported

    I made a 46.5 min aperture slide show and tried a number of times to Export it so I can burn it to DVD to be viewed on an HDTV, so far with no success!  I set computer sleep to 3hrs and let it export over night and the furthest i've gotten is 66% Exported! Why is it taken so long and seem to stop but the activity status goes up ever so slowley???? Im using an iMac  7,1   2.4 GHz with 6GB of memory running 10.8.2 what am I doing wrong???

    Rendering will take a very long time  - I once needed 6 hours for a shorter high definition movie with plenty of effects.
    What theme are you using and what settings?
    The "places" theme needs a good network connection.
    And the finished movie will need plenty of disk space.
    And the finished movie will need plenty of disk space. Have you checked the available  space on your disk?
    What exactly happens when Aperture fails to render the movie? Are there any diagnostics, error messages in the console window, that relate to Aperture? Does Aperture alway stop at the same image or video clip?
    if all fails, you could render your slideshow in two parts and combine the two videos on your DVD.

  • Help!  I thought I was pretty good setting up slide shows and adding music.  I'm trying to make a new slide show from a great trip to New York.  I can get theme music but no music at all from iTunes.  Checking my older slide shows, which did play music!

    Help!  I thought I was pretty good setting up slide shows and adding music.  I'm trying to make a new slide show from a great trip to New York.  I can get theme music but no music at all from iTunes.  Checking my older slide shows, which did play music, it's all gone!
    Problem seems to have started after updating to Mavericks.
    Is there a box I need to check/uncheck?
    Any help very welcome!

    Hopefully you've seen the post from Terence Devlin?  I've pasted it below.
    In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
    Then quit and restart iPhoto.
    Pity Apple didn't either warn us or set up a bug fix!

    Hi
    SlideShow in iDVD has a 99 photo limit - more than this and all sorts of error occures.
    One can have more than one SlideShow on a DVD = X times 99 photos.
    or assemble SlideShows in a movie editor (no limit at least not under 650 photos)
    (only limit is Time in iDVD (movie time + MENU time --- 60 min or 120 min on SL-DVD and about twice on DL.-DVD )
    I use
    • iMovie up to HD6 - or -
    • FinalCut any version
    As they will give a better quality than iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 can do.
    Yours Bengt W

  • IMac goes into iPhoto Slide Show and won't exit unless shut down.

    When I am in iPhoto it will sometimes (no patter) slip into slide show mode with music without my having done anything.  It will play the slide show over and over and not let me exit unless I shut down.  I made a slide show with music when I first got my computer and the slide show always plays this music (R.E.M. "Everybody Hurts"-no jokes please!), but the images can be of any photos I have on the computer. Last time it happened with my Last Import.  Please help as the folks at Apples could only shrug their shoulders and tell me "Wow, never heard that before."

    Take a look at these slide show control keys did you try these, also click on the settings icon in the lower right corner of the slide show and make sure the repeat slide show check box is unchecked. (This applies to iPhoto 11)
    Slideshows
    Stop a slideshow
    Press the Escape (esc) key, or move the mouse to show the slideshow controls, and then click the close button (X)
    Pause slideshow or resume playing

  • Slide shows and pic Quality

    Hi, all:
    Asking for advice, etc: I have been creating a slide show of a batch of old photos inherited from my mother. I want to share these photos, some of which are over 100 years old and have done the following:
    1. Scan them in greyscale on my Epson Perfection 3490 scanner
    2. Process them using Photoshop Elements to crop and tweak for clarity. I have also used iPhoto which can do an equal job. Just prefer PSE because of flexibility in cataloging and filing,
    3. Create an iMovie project (which is why I am on this forum), just dragging and dropping the photos onto the clip viewer/frames.
    4. Since I want to create different versions to distribute to other relatives, I have created a base slide show with pics common to all families in one iM project and then several other separate iM projects with photos specific to other families.
    5. I plan to use Roxio's Toast Titanium to burn the DVD versions of these rather than iDVD since I won't have to combine the base set with the individual family sets into a larger iM project. In Toast, all one has to do is drag the individual projects onto the working area, and Toast will create a DVD incorporating all the projects. The disadvantage is that you have limited abilities to edit, etc. as compared to iDVD. But I am not looking for fancy here so it works for me.
    I am putting this here to solicit other advice, recommendations on process, etc as well as share my process. I am particularly interested in tips on maintaining clarity and quality of the pics which is why I am using iMovie vs going to the slide show function on iDVD. my past experience is the quality seems to be maintained better in iMovie.
    Any opinions on that or any hints, especially iMovie vs iDVD?

    I recently put together a slideshow of several hundred images (both B&W and color) and used FotoMagio. It has more features and gave me better quality than iMovie/iDVD. I then used the movies it produced in iDVD.
    Other like Photo to Movie.
    Both have trial versions available.

  • How can I create a slide show and insert it into an email

    I created a slide show of some pictures I want to share with my sales associate but can't seem to figure out how to Email it.  any help would be appreciated!  Thank you!

    You will need to export it as a  QuickTime movie and share that.
    That said, movies are big files and many recipients will be less than delighted to get large attachments that can cause them problems in their mailboxes. Better to upload the movie somewhere and then email them a link. Dropbox is an excellent way to do this.]

  • Made a slide show and cannot get my music to play on it?

    I made a new slide show on my Macbook Pro iphoto (running iphoto '11-- 9.4.2) and I clicked down at the bottom to add my music to the slide show.. I can see how to direct it to my itunes library. I chose an album. Clicked "choose." But then when I play the slide show I hear soem stupid default music that has nothing to do with anything..?
    Also I could settle with one album off of my itunes, but I saw that I could customize the playlist on that pop up thing and then I put basically two albums in there.. But it did not seem to remember the custom playlist.. Even though I hit "choose" which I think would make it select and remember what I had entered..??
    What to do? Specifics are very helpful on what I click and where it is, if possible.. 
    Thanks

  • I created a slide show on work computer. Placed photos and movies in Media Browser. Want to use another computer (laptop) to give presentation. Do I need to copy media browser to laptop or are pictures and movies embedded in slide show and can go anywhere

    I created a slide show on my work computer and placed many photos and movies in my work computer's Media Browser. Want to use another computer (laptop) to give the presentation and therefore change location of slide show. Do I need to copy the media browser to the laptop or once the pictures and movies are embedded in the original slide show, can I take it anywhere and not worry about the media browser?
    I also want to optimize a movie for Keynote, so it's not too large a file. Please help.

    Graphic, sound and video files are copied into the Keynote file, but make sure Keynote > Preferences - include sound and movies check box is ticked.
    If you have added additional fonts they will need be changed to reflect what is on the destination machine.
    If the other machine has a different Keynote version, ensure the same transitions and effects are available.

    Hi
    I have an Ipod80G as well.
    But I find it impossible to see a slideshow on my tv-set .
    Can you tell me the connections and settings to obtain a slide-show with music on my tv-set. I don't have a dockingstation with SVHS or audio connection.
    What type of cables do I need to see my slide-show with music like you said you could obtain without a docking mount on your own tv-set?
