Re-Creating Aspects of a Slideshow Theme

Hi Everyone,
I am wanting to re-create aspects of the "Photo Edges" slideshow theme in a "Classic" slideshow.
My problem is with photo borders. I can create a border OK, but on the "Photo Edges" theme, there is a jagged inner border which I cant work out how to create.
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Darryn

Welcome to the forums.
I'm not sure which process you're using in iDVD, but I'd think about going back to iPhoto and exporting (Sharing) your slideshows as Full Quality Quicktime movies. You'll preserve the KB effects.
You can drag these movies into the menu button area of iDVD (not the drop zones) and label the buttons as you wish. All three buttons will fit on one iDVD menu.

Need tips on creating a movie and slideshow to show with a projector

I'm putting together videos and a photo slideshow for a reunion. I'll be using photos of various sizes and quality. The projector will be rented, so I can't practice with it, but I got the info on it: 3 LCD, 1100 lumens, 1024x768 native resolution, 4:3 aspect ratio, throw distance 5' to 50'. The audience will be about 100 people.
I have created several movies with slideshows which have been burned to DVD for viewing on a TV, but I've never done any for projection on a screen using my laptop. It is my understanding that reducing photos to a video resolution reduces the quality because no matter what the resolution of the digital photo, the video output is going to be 720x480. Since the quality of the old 126 and 110 film photos are not very good to start with, I was wondering if they would look better if I could show them using Adobe Photoshop Elements' slideshow feature on my laptop and then switch to showing a Premiere file for the movie?
I've learned from my movie slideshow mistakes when the TV chopped off heads (outside the safe margin). I'm sure there are some pitfalls when using a projector, but I don't know what they are. Could those with projector experience give me some pointers? Thanks so much.

If this projector is going to run from a laptop, you do not have to go with DVD, which, as you point out, will be 720 x 480. However, much will depend now, on what your Video source material is. You will want to create the New Project to match that. Then, with your stills, you can Scale those to that Project Preset, before Import.
When done editing, you can Export/Share to an AV format, that the Projector can use. You would basically launch the AV file in say WMP, and feed that from the Video Out to the projector. A format, like WMV should work well. The smoothness of the playback will depend on the I/O of the laptop. With the WMV, you can choose a Frame size that matches the Projector.
Let's say that you have 720p material, then that would be the Project Preset, and the stills would be scaled to approximately that Frame Size. Doing that Scaling in PSE will be much better than letting PrE do it for you. I would have those images scanned at a high resolution, and then look at some of the Scaling algorithms in PSE. I do not know the possible options for Interpolation in PSE, but in PS, I normally go with Bicubic Smoother, however you might find that Bicubic Sharper is better. Only your eyes can tell. Also, if you need to Scale UP from your scans, you can use Stair-stepping to do this, basically doing several Scale operations (Resample checked) at 10% + 10%, etc., until you have Scaled to the necessary size.
Good luck,

How do i get more slideshow themes in iphoto 09

i would like add more slideshow themes or possible create my own. how do i do this.
thanks in advance.

You can't, I'm afraid.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie, on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price: PhotoPresenter $29
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Express $199
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

Where can I Find More SlideShow Themes?

I have been searching the store and Google looking for more Aperture slideshow themes, can anyone point me in a direction where I can find more?

I now have the same questions for iMovie and iDVD. I am having fun and creating some very cool videos for my clients, but need a larger selection of themes for all the applications.
How about making some available in the new store? Giving a starter set and then offering more in the store would be a good $$ model.

Can II have create a 160 photo slideshow as a looping DVD for a TV set DVD?

I have ~160 digital photos that I would like to run as a looping show for a family party. They range in size from .5 to 1.5 mb. I know each chapter in iDVD5 has a 99 picture limit, so that won't work for me.
I've imported the photos from iPhoto while in iMovieHD, put transitions between them, then imported that project while in iDVD. It had 2 chapters (one with 99 pics) with one chapter set to loop. I burned it and could watch it on my tv's dvd (a Samsung), though it did not loop at all. The DVD wouldn't even play on a Sony DVD player.
I can't quite justify (or afford a Final Cut product), but might have hit the limit of iLife.

Can I have create a 160 photo slideshow as a looping DVD for a TV set DVD?
Not sure why your iMovie method did not work. If you put your iMovie in the "autoplay" area you see in the map layout of iDVD and set it to "loop" in the advanced menu, it should loop just fine.

If this didn't work on some DVD players, you might try another brand of DVD-R. I like verbatim.
Alternatively, you can make the slideshow in iPhoto and use "Send to iDVD" - this also creates a QT file, so it is not subject to the 99 slide limit.

How can I create Business Catalyst editable slideshows in Muse?

I've created a series of slideshows in Adobe Muse but my client cannot edit them in Business Catalyst.
Please help!
http://www.timelinemissions.com/work.html

If you like to have a constant amout of imgs, lets say 3, you can define the images as a InContext Editable image and the caption as a InContext Editable line. I usally prerer this solution in front of WebApps as the customer can edit almost everything using ICE-mode.
Please refer to the ICE documentation for more details of implementation.
If you need a more flexible solution I would recommend a WebApp with a field that you define as a image. Then add new WebApp items for every image. If you like to limit the size of a image you can use BC Thumbnail tool. I think Joe Watkins has talked about how to use this tool before.

Creating Apple TV photo slideshow in Windows/Converting .mov to Apple TV

I have a newly purchased 160 GB Apple TV and am having some difficulty creating a slideshow. Ideally, Apple would offer iPhoto for Windows or I would own a Mac, but neither is currently true.
So, what is the best/easiest/cheapest way to create an iPhoto-esque slideshow in Windows XP? (transitions and audio track)
In my initial attempts to accomplish this task, I have created a slideshow using QuickTime. I opened a music file in QuickTime, then opened an Image Sequence in QuickTime, then copied the image sequence and Added and Scaled to the audio track. Finally, I saved this "slideshow" as a QuickTime movie (.mov). This isn't ideal, because there are no transitions and if the photos aren't all landscape it's troublesome. Nonetheless, I tried to open this QuickTime Movie then use the Export to Apple TV conversion process. Unfortunately, QuickTime basically just freezes when I try this. The progress bar never moves from 0%. Any advice here?
Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The simplest way to make a slideshow without adobe photo elements is simply to put collections of photos into folders and sync them to the tv. tv will allow you to add transitions and add a soundtrack from any music you also have synced. In the current version of tv the ending of the slideshow is a little abrupt but I'm sure it will improve in future versions.
I can't think why QT won't convert your QT (slideshow) movies, perhaps you can tell us a little about the movie. Open in QT, open the movie info window and post back the info you find there.

I created a 23 minute slideshow with music. how can I share it? youtube and smugmug both say it is too large?

I created a 23 minute slideshow with music of family vacation. Youtube and smugmug both said it was too large to post for my family.
suggetions please?? I use to use Mobileme...

A few different ways about this. You could split the slide show into smaller sections that are withi the limits for posting and then post each section.
You could try a different encoding to make the file smaller. What settings did you use when you created and exported the slide show?

Hi
No Menu on DVD
from. Mishmunken
How to create a DVD in iDVD6 without menu (there are several options)
1. Easy. Drop your iMovie in the auto-play box in iDVD's Map View, then set your auto-play item (your movie) to loop continuously.
Disadvantage. The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy. If you don't want your (auto-play) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the drop-zone (text needs to be black as well).
Disadvantage. The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time. Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage. One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software. Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn.
Disadvantage. you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way". Post-production with myDVDedit (free-ware)
Tools necessary. myDVDedit ( www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned. If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager.

I have created a 12 minutes slideshow on imovies and on idvd. I want to show it to my relatives in Europe. What is the best way for me to do this? utube?

I have created a 12 minute slideshow on imovies and burned it through idvd. I would like to share it with my relatives in Europe. what would be the best means of doing this? uTube? any other ideas?

You could put it on Youtube, but then they don't have a cop saved to their drive. You could also upload it to your Dropbox and make it public. Note the size of the file, Dropbox and Youtube can only handle such big files, and if your family has a good internet connection (download/playback speeed over bandwith).

Yes you can delete them. Removing them from the iPad has no effect at all on the Mac.

Missing slideshow themes in Aperture 3. Help.

I have Aperture 3 on both my MacBook Pro and my MacPro. I began experimenting with slideshows today and discovered that the version of Aperture on my MacBook Pro has more slideshow themes than the version on my MacPro. Does anyone know how that could happen? Both are clean installs and are the same exact version and I keep both machines up to date with Apple Software Update.
At this point I am wondering if there is a way for me to find the themes in Finder and just copy them and put them on my MacPro? OR is there something that I am missing??
The themes on my MacPro are as follows:
Classic
Ken Burns
Photo Edges
Scrapbook
Shatter
Sliding Panels
Snapshots
Watercolor Panels
The themes on my MacBook Pro are as follows:
Classic
Ken Burns
Photo Edges
Scrapbook
Shatter
Sliding Panels
Snapshots
Watercolor Panels
Holiday Mobile
Origami
Photo Mobile
Places
Reflections
Scrapbook
Vintage Prints
If anyone can shed some light on this for me I'd be grateful. Thanks in advance!
Cheers!

Ahh! I was thinking that that may be the case. Thanks!!
I never upgraded iLife on my MacPro because I hated the way the new version dealt with photos in email. Also hated that when I hover an event and found the image I was looking for and double-clicked on it, I would have to re-hunt the image down all over again when it opened the event. The old version of iLife/iPhoto (which I'm still using on my MacPro) highlights the image once the event is opened, making it so easy to find.
Anyway, don't mean to go on about my woes with that. I guess what I would LOVE to do now is be able eo move over the themes from my MBP to My MP. Do you (or anyone) know if the themes are modular and can be copied and used on another machine that does not have iLife 11?
Thanks! Great sleuthing!
Cheers!

How to create mass users and map them to existing hrms users

Hi,
Im running oracle ebusiness suite 12i . I want to create mass users , and map them to existing hrms users.
The users I want to create exist in an excel spreadsheet with the columns employee id, user name. They will all be granted the same responsibility. I want to map them to existing hrms users using the employee id key.
I have read about the package FND_USER_PKG.CREATEUSER and I can loop over it by using sql loader to create a temporary table, but I m lost on how to automatically map them to hrms users as part of the script.
Any help.
dula

Thanks a lot Omka,
I managed to create the users by running the script:
declare
Cursor C1 is
select d.product_code,b.responsibility_key from FND_USER_RESP_GROUPS_ALL a,fnd_responsibility b,fnd_user c,fnd_application d
where a.user_id = c.user_id
and a.responsibility_id = b.responsibility_id
and b.application_id = d.application_id
and c.user_name ='JOCHIENG';
Cursor employee is
SELECT EMPLOYEE_ID,EMPLOYEE_NAME from eldoret_final;
BEGIN
for e in employee loop
fnd_user_pkg.createuser
x_user_name => e.EMPLOYEE_NAME
*,x_owner => ''*
*,x_unencrypted_password => 'welcome123'*
*,x_start_date => SYSDATE - 10*
*,x_end_date => NULL*
*,x_description => 'CBK Employee'*
*,X_EMPLOYEE_ID => e.EMPLOYEE_ID*
fnd_user_pkg.addresp(upper (e.EMPLOYEE_NAME),'PER', 'CBK_EMPLOYEE_DIRECT_ACCESS','STANDARD', 'DESCRIPTION', sysdate, null);
end loop;
commit;
end;
I had first created the user JOCHIENG and assigned it the responsibility for Self service. So the script just assigns the responsibilities by copying from the one assgined to this user.
Everything seems ok. However, when trying to log in as the new user, the login error: Login failed. Please verify your login information or contact the system administrator.
is returned. But I can reset the password using the forms under Security > Define. Even with the correct password, the login doesn't go through.
Any idea?

Creating Hgh Resolution photo slideshow to upload to youtube

Hi, I've created a slideshow in iPhoto with 55 photos and a song to go with it. The highest export resolution there is is 640*480 and it comes out very blurry (especially when you try to enlarge it to full screen).
When i decided to try iDVD i realized it only exports to a dvd format and not to any kind of media that i can upload to you tube.
I don't think iMovie has a better option either.
All I'm looking for is to create a high resolution slideshow from my photos to share on youtube.
Does anyone have any suggestions....? I will be very grateful.

The following approach of creating a QT movie slideshow will give you the option of specifying a higher resolution in its width and height settings. Here's an example of a fast loading, looping embedded slideshow (not mine):
http://www.heese-cadieux.com
...and done like this:
iPhoto > select photos > File > Export... > QuickTime tab ...set width and height, etc.
Then iWeb > Media button > Movies tab ...drag in your movie created above by iPhoto.
Then iWeb > Inspector > QuickTime tab ...settings.
Note: The above generates a QT slideshow of small file size and thus appears quickly in a web browser. But the transitions are limited to a simple "fade in and fade out" — no Ken Burns effect, etc.

Hi Santosh,
