Quicktime iPhoto Slideshow to iPod

Took iPhoto slideshow and exported it to iDVD. In the process it creates a Quicktime movie which can be moved to iTunes video and played. But when iPod is connected it says it cannot load it. Message suggests I convert format for iPod but only conversion option I can find is to convert to ACC, which I tried but it said file was protected. I'm a fairly green user and can't understand why a file create by iPhoto which can be used in iTunes cannot be accepted by iPod.
Any help out there?

If you want to sync the slideshow as a movie, it must conform to an iPod compatible movie format -- i.e., either MPEG-4/AAC or H.264/AAC format. To do this, simply select the file in question and use the "Convert Selection for iPod" option under either the advanced menu or the right-click contextual menu.

IPhoto Slideshow on iPod

Is it possible to copy a slideshow created in iPhoto 08 to a video iPod?

Bruce F
Yes and no.
No, you can't copy the slideshow over straight via iTunes as all you get to Sync with iTunes are albums. But Yes, you can export a Slideshow as a Quicktime Movie (File -> Export) and bring that onto the iPod.

IPhoto slideshow to quicktime and audio tracks fadeout, undesirable.

I made a quicktime movie out of an iPhoto slideshow and the audio tracks fade out. Can this be prevented?

You probably will need a 3rd party application to convert the . mov QT file that iPhoto creates into a format for the iPod. Some are VisualHub, ViddyUp, and iSquint. You can find them at VersionTracker.com.

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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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 08 libraries 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.

Iphoto/slideshow/quicktime question

Hi all:
My son needs to be able to make slideshows from time to time for homework. For some reason, his G3 imac 400 (Panther) is having a problem here. We can export the slideshow to a quicktime movie, but we lose most of the soundtrack. Actually, we only get about 3 seconds of soundtrack then it goes dead, but the pics keep cycling through. Any ideas as to what's up here?
thanks.

Ok....
Problem solved.
However, I'm not sure I understand why. But here's the deal: 2 identical imacs (G3 400, w/ 256mb ram....same version iphoto, itunes & quicktime). System #1 worked, system #2 didn't. After playing for half the day, I realized that System #1's working tune was an *mp3* tune, whereas System #2 was using an AAC tune. Further investigation revealed that both imacs were acting the same. Both would successfully export an iphoto slideshow/with mp3 song to quicktime, & both choked if the itunes song chosen was an AAC.
So......I can live with this.
If anyone can clear up *why* I can't use an AAC tune, that would be great, but truth be told I can live with it the way it is now.
thanks!

Import iphoto slideshow into ipad

Is it possible to import an iPhoto slideshow into an iPad?

Hi Constance,
You would first need to export the slideshow from iPhoto as a Quicktime movie.
Then you can view it on your iPad.
Here's how:

Hi Barbara
Are your photos in iPhoto or are you using some other Photo Software?
The latest version of iPhoto is a lot different than iPhoto 6 for example. In iPhoto 06 you could burn the Originals from your User Picture Folder using Finder, while in iPhoto 11 it is best to burn them from within the iPhoto Application.
Open iPhoto and select the Event(s) that you want to burn onto the CD, then select Share on the menu bar and click Burn in the drop down.

Then again, maybe you got a bad batch of blank CD's and need to try another?

Using Keynote and iPhoto slideshow together

Computer: 12" Powerbook G4, 1.5ghz
Display: 23" Apple Cinema Display (1920x1200)
Software: OSX 10.4.9, Keynote 2, iPhoto 6
Hi everyone! Above are the specs for the project I'm working on and here's the problem I'm having:
I am trying to create a makeshift kiosk display for an upcoming event using slides in Keynote and a picture slideshow in iPhoto. I'm planning on running it off my Powerbook to my 23" Cinema Display.
I'm using Keynote for the presentation content because of the motion effects (transitions, build-ins, etc.) and iPhoto for the image slideshow because of the Ken Burns effect (which I don't believe Keynote has). Both look great running seperately, however when this is being displayed at the show, I'll need both to run back to back automatically, without having to manually switch back and forth between applications.
I have both the Keynote presentation and the iPhoto slideshow displaying at 1920x1200. I've tried exporting the iPhoto slideshow to Quicktime, but it won't export any higher than 640x480. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can make this work? I won't be able to operate the computer when this is running, so I really need to find a way to make everything run seamlessly while keeping the high resolution of the 1920x1200 monitor.
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks,
-Steve

iMovie is a DV editing app and the final results would still make a 640X480 file.
I would change a few things to make everything work together:
First is the display resolution. You want the 23 inches to be used so just reduce the display preferences to try and match your QuickTime file. 800X600 sounds about right but larger will still work as H.264 Video scales up in size very nicely.
This would force you to "reduce" the dimensions of the Keynote file but that shouldn't be much of an issue.
QuickTime Pro could also be used to "change" the dimensions of the 640X480 file. Again, H.264 scales up in size and would look pretty good at even double size.
The goal is to have them both at the same dimension and then match the monitor resolution.
Easier to change the display than the files.

Displaying iPhoto slideshows on external display

I'm trying to get my wife's MacBook Pro w/ iPhoto '09 8.1.2 to display the slidehow on an external VGA monitor. She's using the miniDisplay port to VGA adapter. The symptom of the problem is a slideshow on the built-in Display (OK) but a black screen on the external display.
Current workaround:
The slideshow plays fine on the external VGA display when "Turn on Mirroring" is selected in Display Prefs.
BUT....
She doesn't want to turn on/off mirroring every time she wants to show photos. There's no settings in iPhoto that I found that would specify using an external monitor. Quicktime Player DOES allow you to do this. Does this feature just not exist for iPhoto slideshows? Was the slideshow function only intended for a few people to huddle around a computer screen? Hopefully it's more than that.
My wife's comment was "MS Powerpoint is smart enough to display my PPT presentation on the external display, why isn't iPhoto smart enough to do the same thing for slideshows."
I think this is a reasonable expectation of Apple iPhoto but the solution eludes me. I really don't want to have her use the export function in iPhoto as this seems like an unnecessary waste of hard drive space and time. It seems like the feature is sooooo close to being great but it's not (Apple had enough foresight to include an instant slideshow function).

Greetings,
As you pointed out, iPhoto supports mirrored display mode. In extended desktop mode, only the one display is used (this is normal).
When I want to use an external display / projector / TV with my images:
__Use Quicktime player
__Use an AppleTV to stream iPhoto content directly to my TV
__Use Keynote (Apple's Presentation software kinda like MS Power Point) to play a presentation
If you would like to see iPhoto support extended desktop mode submit feedback from within the iPhoto Application:
iPhoto > Provide iPhoto Feedback

Cheers.

Iphoto/slideshow/idvd

Has anyone burned an elaborate iphoto slideshow with success? I spent alot of time putting together 239 slides into a great 30 min. iphoto slideshow (with transitions, pans and audio) and am so so frustrated to have just spent 4 days trying to figure out how to burn it. After reading all the relevant posts & chats I've tried numerous lengthy attempts including: 'share-send to idvd, /also export as a movie to burn in Toast', / also tried making a disc images first/also imported as quicktime movie into imovie (in standard mode). No matter what, the audio seems gets out of sync with the slides and the photo quality weakens as well. And it's not consistent from one attempt to another.
The slideshow is scheduled for a 3 month international tour starting next month. I'll be up the creek if I can't get this burnt real soon.
Any feedback ??? I'd love not to switch from mac.

PS In idvd attemptS, I've avoided the themes, which I don't want, by dragging the iphoto slideshow( as a movie) into the first map box (which makes the dvd open on insert.)

Try one of these. They both specialize in slideshows:

IPhoto slideshow to iDVD gives poor movie quality

Hello,
I would like to take an iPhoto 08 slideshow and turn it into a DVD disc.
iPhoto's feature: "Share > Send to iDVD" is really great, except that it converts my slideshow to a compressed QuickTime .mov file.
I really, really do not like what the QuickTime compression is doing to my image quality.
I seem to recall that iPhoto was once able to export as an uncompressed .DV file. But I can no longer find that feature or workaround.
Does anyone know of a way to turn an iPhoto slideshow into a .DV file? Or, at least some kind of video file that iDVD will recognize and which does not use compression (like AVI or something?).
Thanks in advance!

Another 3rd party slideshow application with many export options is PhotoPresenter. It has Full Quality option for exporting which is 768 x 576. It also has over 25 animated themes. This demo page has examples of some of them.

Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle.

IPhoto slideshow in iDVD project

I have some questions on problems creating a iDVD project of an iPhoto slideshow:
1. Is it possible (how ?) to create buttons for scene selections, as in iMovie ?
My project contains one continuous slideshow (942 still pictures) which I want to divide in
chapters relating to the varuous trips I made during one travel.
If not in iDVD: has this breaking up of a single iPhoto slideshow be done in iMovie or iPhoto itself,
or by way of creating a 'Magic iDVD' ?
2. Can audio be imported with different sound clips ?
As for now my audio clip (3 min) repeats itself endlessly till the end of the project (48 min), and I
want to use various songs out of my iTunes library.
3. For a slideshow with its speed matched to the lenght of an audio clip, 10 seconds seems to be
the longest duration for one single picture. Can this be lengthened ?.
In my actual project, 10 seconds for each picture in combination with a cross dissolve seems
to work too fast in my slideshow.
I expected this transition to be added to their duration; instead it seems to take seconds away
from the linked stills.
If all these problems can't be adressed in iDVD 6: is iDVD 8 the better option ?

To get the versatility that you want, and because this is a complex project for iPhoto, I suggest that you bring iMovie into the work flow.
I would create a separate iPhoto slideshow for each segment of your trip (eg. Italy, France, etc.)
Then export each slideshow to your desktop as a High Quality Quicktime movie. There will be no loss of quality. Then create an iMovie project, and drag each Quicktime movie into the project. You can add your audio in iMovie, as well as chapter markers. Then save and close, and drag the iMovie icon (the one with the star on it) into an iDVD project. Just drag it to the edge of the iDVD display menu so it doesn't fall into a drop zone. Then save your iDVD project as a Disk Image (an option from the File menu). This will take awhile because all the encoding will be done as if you were burning a disk. To play the disk image, double click on its icon, and then open the DVD Player app on your Mac. Make sure it plays O.K. Then close it, and open the Utilities/Disk Utility app on your Mac. If it's not already in there, drag your disk image icon into the left side display panel in the Disk Utility Window. Then insert a DVD-R disk into your drive and hit Burn. The burning process will be fairly quick because all the encoding already was done when you created the disk image.
As far as I am aware, you cannot extend the length of a photo in an iPhoto slideshow beyond what the settings will allow you to do. If you want to go beyond that, I would suggest creating your slideshow in iMovie where you can display the photos for as long a duration as you want. In my opinion, 10 seconds duration for a photo is way too long, particularly when you have 942 still pictures. Whew! I would keep it to 5 seconds at most. You can always use the remote pause button of your DVD player if you want to display to your viewers a particular photo for a longer time.
In an iPhoto slide show you can import different audio with different sound clips. Go to iTunes and make up an album of the songs that you want to play in your slide show. Then, when you select your music from the media pane in your iPhoto slide show, select the album that you created, and the slide show will play those songs in succession as your slide show runs.
The cross dissolve transition will shorten the display duration of the photo on each side of it, and thus shorten the overall display time of the slideshow. The overlap transition will not shorten the overall time display.
I hope this helps. Good luck with your project/.

Exporting an iphoto slideshow to play in the iphone

Hello - any ideas how i can get a iphoto slideshow exported to play on an iphone.
If you export an iMovie - under the share option there is an export movie option, and then you can choose the iphone format?
Many thanks

Do you have Quicktime Pro? If you do you can add the movie to the audio track, scaling it to match the track's length, and export for iPhone.
