PSE8 adding narration to a slide show

The mic volume level is much too low. I have checked my mic on both Windows Live Messenger and Movie Maker and it is functioning correctly. Is this a known problem with PSE8

Lets wait and see! Thanks.

PSE12 problem adding audio media to slide show

I have followed the instructions but can't get the music to show up in the audio elements organizer..

Hi James:
Welcome to discussions.
You can get the songs you rip from your CD to export into iTunes by the following:
1. iTunes - Pref - Advanced - Import. Change import using to MP3.
Now all new songs you rip from CD will export with iPhoto
To correct those songs already in iTunes so they will export, do the following:
1. highlight song in iTunes Library
2. Toolbar go to Advanced - Click Convert Selection to MP3
3.Now you will have a duplicate of that song in your library. The one just added that you converted, add MP3 to title
4.Use MP3 song in your slide show.
5. Audio should export with photos.
Post back and let me know if this works for you. It does for me. You cannot change songs imported from iTunes this way; it will only work on songs from your CD. We will have to wait for updates for a permanent fix.
Good luck-

Adding images to a slide show

I'm sure this has been asked a bazillion times here but I'm
so new to Flash (we're talking a couple of days) that I wouldn't
know what to search on much less what question(s) to ask. That
having been said I'm tasked with adding images to an existing Flash
site that has 4 slide shows (it's for a photographer). I have all
of the .fla files and I can successfully change an image but when
it plays it's taller than the other existing images (even though
they are the same height in pixels) and I'm sure fixing that is
just a couple of clicks.
He said with false self-confidence...
I have other, more specific, questions but it's better to ask
them in
this
image to be more clear about what I'm referring to (without
knowing the correct terminology).
I know Photoshop, ImageReady, Illustrator and GoLive (so I'm
no knucklehead) but Flash is a whole new ball game so I apologize
for my ignorance. Once I get up to speed with Flash I won't be
asking dumb stuff like this.
As a sidebar question what's the best way to get up to speed
with Flash? Is Lynda.com any good?
TIA

I had to restart and opened the file. It asked me if I wanted to try to recover the operations in process before. I said yes. Then it gave me this error which was similar to one of the first two errors I got but did not write down.
[SQLC/interOpen] SQLError: ‘Error #3125: Unable to open the database file.’, details: ‘Connection closed.’,operation: ‘open’, detailID:’1001’

Problem with adding music to a slide show

I am trying to add add'l music to a slide show in Elements 9. The first songs added easily. I am now getting a message that the "codec" is insufficient. There does not seem to be any difference in the properties of the songs that are being rejected and the songs that loaded. How do I correct this to add the MP3 songs?

Thanks for your response. In answer to your questions:
1. What is PRE?
2. mpeg is not a choice on my version of pse7. Only mp3, wav, wma and ac3.

Adding videos to a slide show

I have added a video to my slide show in Elements 7 and when I try to preview the show, Photoshop completely closes. What is going on?

I plan on using a DVD player to view the show. I have tried Movie Maker but I could not figure out how to get the show off of my computer since a DV camera is required and I do not have one. The DVD software that came with my PC is Cyberlink PowerDVD. I cannot use this because I do not have a DVD burner.
Thank you.
You say that you do not have a DVD burner on your PC - so please explain in some detail how you plan to use the DVD player for your TV. For example, does your DVD player for the TV have a slot where you can insert a USB device? What is the make and model of the DVD player machine? Or did you mean that you will use DVD player software with your computer connected to your TV?
Movie Maker - you don't need a DV camera : you can output a WMV file from Movie Maker just as you can from the Photoshop Elements Slide Show Editor. The dilemma seems to be that neither of these programs will produce a video DVD conforming output.
Here are some ideas that I was developing - however, we do need to understand what type of output you have the capability to play in order to determine what will help for your specific situation:
I was thinking that an approach might be to make each section of slide show in PSE Slide Show Editor and separately output each as a separate WMV file. Then use Windows Movie Maker and layout sections of the slide show with your video files in between the slide show sections as you wish. Then you could output a single wmv file from Windows Movie Maker. Another alternative would be to do everything in Windows Movie Maker and not use the PSE slide show editor at all.

Trouble adding iTunes songs to slide show displays

When displaying a group of photos in a slide show (view photos in full screen), I am unable to use my iTunes songs. I know how to "browse" and add the sample music from my music files (and that works fine), but it won't work w/my iTunes songs. I click on the iTunes file and it shows me the artists. I can then click on the folder and choose one of the songs. However, when I try to "Select" or "Open" the song, the title of the song disappears and it reads "No items match your search".
I am able to open and listen to my iTunes songs when I am not in PSE. I have PSE 7, and am new to PSE.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My guess is that your songs in iTunes are not in a file format that PSE can use - what format are they? And they might also have DRM (digital rights) restrictions.
I suggest that you try using iTunes to burn an mp3 file of one of the songs that you wish to use and then try that mp3 file in the PSE slide show.

Adding music to my slide show

How do I download music (no video) from the internet and save it on my slide show? Thanks in advance.

If you want familiar music you have to purchase files from Amazon or iTunes. If you do a Google search for free production music, or similar, you can probably find some free stuff that you can use. I have played around a little bit with some of those, but I haven't really found much that I like. You can also use music from your own CD collection.

Adding music to a slide show in Lightroom 5

I have created a slideshow with Lightroom 5 that has 807 photos. The duration of the slide show is 1 hour, 33 minutes. When I try to add music in LR 5, it will allow only one song. How do I add music that will cover the entire slide show?

Lightroom only allows for one music file. If you want a longer file, you'll have to splice together your music files in another application (such as Audition) and use that larger file in Lightroom.

Adding music to a slide show from Itunes

How do i add music to a slide show from itunes? When i go into the Itunes folder I get all the way to where the music file should be and it says there are no files found.

Hi Rodney,
Here's what you do.
When you click on music and the window opens, click on your library then look at the bottom of the window where you will see a small clear dot - click and drag this up and voila - there's the music.
A very annoying feature that iPhoto hides this section by default.

Adding music to a slide show

We have made a large slide show with over 300 photos. We arranged a play list in itunes of six songs. The problem seems that when we chose the playlist, it only plays the last song on the list of six over and over. We would like it to play the list ( all 6 songs) and in the same order placed on the list. Any suggestions.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Your thread got hijacked so I'll try to help you the best that I can. Are any of those tracks from the iTMS? If so then you should be running the latest Quicktime version so that they will be accessable to the other iApps. Give that a try and see it it helps.
As a test create another test slideshow and use just one track, one of those that don't play in your big slideshow. If it doesn't play in the new slideshow then the previous suggestion may be barking up the right tree.
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.

Adding Individual Photos to Slide Show?

Is there a way to add photos directly to a slideshow?
The only thing I can figure out to do is to throw out the old slideshow, add the photo to the library from which the show is created and start all over. That's a pain if I've worked any on custom settings.

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!
Mike

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.

Full page slide show won't show elements under the object

I created a master page with several elements. I then went to the "home" page and added a full page slide show. It is on top and nothing can be seen but the slide show. I have selected the element and did an object move to back but still nothing shows. What am I doing wrong?

Hi
Please go to master page and then in layers panel create a layer and drag the content you want to show on top of all pages wherever the master is applied.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Pictures lost in Slide Show

I added pictures from my flash drive into a slide show in Elements 6.0. I saved the slide show as a project. Several days later when I opened the project from the Organizer, the slides were black except for the text I had added. I assume I have lost the link to my pictures although I have not moved the flash drive since I made the slide show. How can I retrieve my pictures?

The photos have never appeard in Organizer because I imported them from my Flash Drive directly into the slide show. I have, however, opened,
edited, saved, closed, and reopened the slide show several times and the pictures were in the slide show. Now, all of a sudden, they have disappeared.
I was hoping to avoid saving the pictures in Organizer before adding them to the slide show... must I do that?

Submenu transitions & Drop zone Slide Shows

Two items:
Has anyone else run into these issues?
1) Submenu transitions don't work properly in preview mode.
2) When adding images for a slide show in a drop zone pane, the images are supposed to cycle--but mine don't unless I start fiddling with the loop time--which is not adequatley explained in the documentation.

G5 Dual Core 2.3 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Cycling does occur based upon the loop time chosen.
