Remove fade in/out from iPhoto slideshow export?

I'm bringing in some pictures from iPhoto and I've had bad luck with photo resolution when I used iMovie to import the picture and apply Ken Burns effects, etc. I've seen some suggestions here to use an iPhoto slideshow export instead.
I have my settings for 1 second slides, no transition and a ken burns effect. I'd like to make an export for each picture, but iPhoto insists on opening the slideshow with a fade in and closing with a fade out. Is there any way to prevent this? I'd like to add the transitions in iMovie instead.
(I realize that the iMovie forum might be a better place for this so forgive the crosspost)

Thanks, I think I'll skip the Ken Burns for now since I've had nothing but problems with it. My issues before were that 1) iMovie would play the images in sequence just fine during playback but at export would mix up the order. 2) The resolution on the pictures was absolutely terrible. I have a new movie now and haven't seen either problem.

  • Is there any way to get 720x576 (ie DV Pal)  from iphoto slideshow?

    I have tried the iphoto forum and have been directed here. Is there any way to get 720x576 (ie DV Pal) for an export from iphoto slideshow? I want to export 200+ photos with random transitions and the ken burns effect. Imovie offers offers automatic ken burns effect via project properties but I can't find a way to add random transitions automaticcally. Is it possible? I want to add the exported file to a movie in Final Cut Studio. Normally I have to resort to using adobe photoshop elements 5 and premiere elements 3 on my bootcamp partition. I would love to do this all in Mac OSX - since leaving Windows, this is the only thing that forces me to use that lousy operating system!
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Not directly. But you can do it with a bit of external help. Create a slideshow project in iPhoto using the "Random" transitions and auto KBE you want. Then export the slideshow as a 640x480 MPEG4/AAC 30 fps full motion MOV file. Drop the file to MPEG Steamclip and select the "Export to DV" File menu option. The select the DV format, PAL standard, and aspect you want. (I would normally select the "Frame Blending" option in the main menu when going from 30 fps to 25 fps.)

    I am trying to burn DVDs from iPhoto slideshows.  My pictures number in the hundreds and we know that iPhoto captures 99 and then "starts over".  This plays fine from the Mac Book but glitches arise on the DVD when playing it on a DVD player.  Any suggestions on how to overcome the 99 "Chapter limitation" that IPhoto has?  Has anyone heard or tried an app called Vilisoft?  I read good things but I am not sure if it will do what I want.
    Jim

    Then use multipel 99 picture slideshows. 
    You can have up to 8 or 9 slideshows per menu.  If you add a sub menu reduce that by 1 and add 8 more to the sub menu.  The top menu can have links to up to 8 or so submenus (depends on the theme) and each submenu can have up to 8 or so slideshows. 
    However, converting a very large slideshow to a QT movie as Terence suggested does not envoke the 99 slide limit in iDVD.  It just becomes a single video/movie file.  So you should not have a problem with exporting at the large size, 720 x 540,
    and dragging the resulting file into the iDVD menu being sure to avoid any drop zones.

    You don't.
    Slideshows are exported as movies and these are very large files. Email is not an appropriate medium for very large files as they can cause immense issues for the receiver.
    Better to share some other way.

  • Iphoto Slideshow Export Coming Out Blank

    I've tried multiple times to export a slideshow, from IPhoto, onto a cd onto a hard drive via usb port cd or wirelessly and without fail EVERYTIME the movie has spots where the music will still play but the photos disappear and it's black (blank). HELP!

    Have you checked, if the photos, that should be visible at the black spots are o.k.? Perhaps the connection to the original image files is broken. Try,if you can edit or export the photos in question.
    If the photos cannot be edited or exported, try, if rebuilding the iPhoto library will fix this.
    How to rebuild the library is described here by Old Toad:

  • IPhoto slideshow export -- Ken Burns "jerkiness" on playback

    Have an iPhoto slideshow of 25 pictures. On some, I used Ken Burns effect to zoom in, out, etc.
    When I export, the result is a .mov file. Everything looks great when I play it on Quicktime, except for some of the photos on which I had used Ken Burns (meaning there's motion). The bad ones don't render properly, and are "jerky" for lack of a more technical word. They get stuck for a couple of seconds, jump forward, get stuck again, etc.
    Amazing thing is that I did an export out of Quicktime using Sorenson3, and that seems to have smoothed everything out in a nice way. Result is a movie with no jerkiness, and everything works right.
    Two questions:
    1) Can I count on the Sorenson3 export method to fix the jerkiness for three other iPhoto slideshow-based movies I'll need to generate, or was this a one-time fluke that Sorenson3 fixed this movie? In other words, is there a principle behind the fix that makes sense and can be counted on?
    2) What caused the jerkiness in the first place? Is there something I can do so the original output from iPhoto on Ken Burns photos isn't jerky?
    Thanks for any insights.

    the audio associated with that set of photos was a piece of music off of an audio CD that had been transferred to iTunes for the purpose of making this section in the DVD. It's not a big problem that the music didn't transfer, since I can add it back into FCX. Thank you so much for your concern and help. This was a very key bit of info that you provided me. Thanks again. bill

    Kirk,
    Did what you suggested, with some tweaks, and it's working nicely. Exported at 3MB/sec -- 2MB didn't render well enough. Tried MPEG-4, and then Sorenson again, and actually the Sorenson worked better for some reason.
    So thanks, and now I have one follow up question: My next step is to convert the file to .wmv format so it plays on Windows Media Player. Must do this for a project at work -- where people are on PCs using WMP.
    I purchsed Flip4Mac a while ago for this purpose, and that's what I intend to use. Can I simply convert the file exactly as is to .wmv -- keeping all the goodness of the settings that are now working? Will this be an export of an export that will damage the quality of the result?
    Thanks for your thoughts.

  • How do I burn a DVD from iPhoto slideshow?

    Hi all. I am using iPhoto '11 (ver 9.4.2) on my MacBook Pro. I also have iMovie 11 on my Mac. How can I create a DVD that can be played in a DVD player, for ultimate use at an upcoming party (to be played in DVD player and shown on a projector screen)? I had read somewhere abotu clicking the "Share" text and then select iDVD, but that is no longer an option in this iPhoto. Instead, it offers to "Burn" but then a pop-up dialog box clearly states that the DVD would be for iPhoto viewing only.... but I know there has to be another way. Help1?
    A little more specs: Although I have several thousand photos on my HDD, I created a new Album of 200 photos for this particular slidehow. I added a playlist and can press "Play Slideshow" within iPhoto. It plays and looks beautifully (can;t get enough of Ken Burns effect!). But, of course, I need to get this onto a DVD? Any thoughts?
    So, that is the first question.
    Relatedly, if I COULD, I would like to insert a few video (small 10 second snippets) into the slideshow, and mute the music during those segments - is that something I shoudl do in iMovie.... and then how to export to DVD?
    Thanks.

    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 retailier 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.
    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size = Medium or Large.
    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 qualty 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.

  • Best settings for iPhoto Slideshow Export

    My aim is to export an iPhoto slideshow (iPhoto ‘11 v9.3.1) and import into the FCP7 sequence with the best possible quality.
    Original video source - Sony camcorder - DV PAL (16.9 anamorphic) imported into FCP7 with a sequence preset of DV PAL 48 KHz Anamorphic (720 x 576)
    Stills for slideshow - 3648 x 2736 Jpeg
    I realise I will lose significant quality to fit the restraints of the DV sequence and so after some tests the best result was through a custom export from iPhoto
    Compression - H.264
    Frame rate changed to 25
    Keyframes & data rate - Automatic
    Quality - Best
    Encoding - Best Quality (multi-pass)
    Size - 768 x 576 SD
    A few thoughts -
    Are there other settings for better results?
    The resulting QT movie had a slightly inferior quality inside Final Cut than when played outside with Quicktime Player
    Any movement over the stills created a strobing/flickering effect inside Final Cut - I have never been able to sort this problem out and now no longer set keyframes to move over stills.
    I have tried a third party software (Industrial Revolution CoverFlux2) with no great improvement re flickering problem and general quality
    The sequence is 16.9 but any attempt to export the slideshow to fit (eg 720 x 576 16.9) stretches the images.

    Original video source - Sony camcorder - DV PAL (16.9 anamorphic) imported into FCP7 with a sequence preset of DV PAL 48 KHz Anamorphic (720 x 576)
    Stills for slideshow - 3648 x 2736 Jpeg
    You're already in FCP7 so why go to iPhoto and then back to FCP?  That just adds layers of encoding which will reduce the final image quality.  As TD pointed out keep it in FCP

  • IPhoto slideshow export issue

    Greetings,
    I am runnng iPhoto 11 v9.4.1 and cannot export a 100 picture slideshow. I have a MacBook Pro runing 10.7.5.  After creating the slideshow, I click on the export button, select the display option of 1280 x 800 and then click OK.  iPhoto starts the export and then will quit, finder will come up with an error message: The operation can’t be completed because the item can’t be found.  The slideshow QT movie does not get created.  I also created a new iPhoto database, imported 5 pictures, created a new slideshow and then exported - I got the same error message.  I am stumped, any ideas or suggestions?
    Thank you,
    Matt

    I was with the same problem and followed the instructions from another discussion in this forum.
    Try this:
    . Do a simple file search (via spotlight) on the files related to "3ivx" codec.
    . Remove the files or uninstall this codec
    . Try to export from iPhoto again.
    That should work.
    Hope this helps.

  • Create DVD from iPhoto slideshow i created?

    How do I create a DVD from a Slideshow residing in IPHOTO?

    1. Export it. This makes a QuickTime movie of it.
    2. Select an app to author the DVD - iDVD if you have iy, Toast or similar
    3. Create a DVD project in that app
    4. Add the movie to the project
    5. Burn it.

  • Creating DVD from iPhoto Slideshow with music

    I'm trying to create a DVD of a slideshow with music that was created previously in iPhoto and then "Shared with iDVD". The .m4v file located in Pictures> iPhoto Slideshows is not accessible in iDVD. The only way I can make it work is to spend the hour or so required to start from scratch by clicking "Share with iDVD" from an open iPhoto slideshow, thus creating a .m4v file and then going directly to the iDVD menu that's automatically opened at the end of the "Share with iDVD" process. Any ideas?

    Welcome to the forums.
    When I'm going from iPhoto to iDVD with a slideshow, I get good results by Exporting from iPhoto to a large-sized Quicktime movie. I can preview the video and music, and if I'm happy, I can then just drop the Quicktime file onto the iDVD menu area (not into a drop zone, that's just eye candy). It's been a reliable process for me.

  • IPhoto Slideshow Export Settings for FCP 7

    I made a slideshow using iPhoto '11 that I need to import into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 so that it can be merged into a longer sequence with a few other things that will eventually be burned onto a DVD using Studio Pro and then set to play in a continuous loop.
    My question is, what settings should I use exporting out of iPhoto? The photos were all taken with a Canon 5D. The sequence that I'll be importing the slideshow into will also have a sequence in it that was shot using the Sony HXR-NX5U. So, the native settings for that clip will be 1920x1080, square pixels, 23,98 fps, Apple ProRes 422 codec. I exported my iPhoto slideshow to match the settings as best as possible - 1920x1080 HD 16:9 was the closest option. I think the one difference is that the slideshow plays at 30 fps while the sequence matches the main video at 23.98 fps.
    My issue is that the slideshow plays fine in iPhoto and even as a stand-alone movie loaded in QuickTime, but once I import it into Final Cut, I get motion artifacts. Even if I bring the slideshow into its own sequence, with the sequence settings matching those of the slideshow, the artifacts are still there. I can get rid of them using the Flicker Filter, but is there a way to resolve this issue during the iPhoto export? Should I be Deinterlacing the source video, leaving it as a progressive movie or selecting interlaced scaling? If it needs interlaced scaling, should I select upper or lower?
    Or, are there better settings to get this slideshow to play better in Final Cut?

    Yes. What we're setting up a booth at an upcoming event and have some promo videos we made, as well as the slideshows. The purpose of bringing them all into FCP was so I could put them all together in the timeline and export them as one big movie, which I'd them bring into DVD Studio Pro and set it to loop over and over.
    Unless, of course, I could keep all the movies separate and create a "Play" button that plays movie #1, but modify the end jump to go to movie #2. Modify the end jump of movie #2 to go to movie #3, the end jump of movie #3 go to #4 and have the end jump of #4 go back to #1.
    Would that work? If so, I can just put everything into Compressor.

  • Iphoto slideshow exported for iweb viewed by windows

    I have been trying to publish an iphoto slideshow that I had exported as a movie for weeks. My mac people can see it, my PC family members cannot! I tried to make it small for the web, changed the filename to mp4 from mpv4, but PC people still could not see it. So I tried to put the slideshow movie in as a huge .mpeg and it disappeared. ( I had made an avi file but it looked horrible so used the equally as large but better ,mpeg)
    I am getting the idea that it can only be done with imovie! Is than an authoritative step by step on iphoto 08,quicktime pro, and Iweb so I can put all these things together?

    Don't use the Finder to change the file extension. Not only is it folly but it breaks the links used in your iWeb page code.
    Don't use AVI. It is a dead container discontinued by its authors (Microsoft) years ago.
    Don't use MPEG-1 (1991 format).
    Default exports from iPhoto to QuickTime formats use the newer H.264 video codec which requires any machine (Mac or PC) have QuickTime version 7 installed. If they can't install version 7 they can't view your file.
