Save a slide show so it plays from a dvd on regular tv

I want to know the quickest method for creating a slideshow in aperture, with music and then saving it in a format that can be burned to a dvd and played on a standard dvd player on regular tv

You can create Slideshows directly in Aperture; there are several predefined themes. Arrange the images in the Time Line, drag music from the Media Browser into the timeline, press the "export" button and render a movie (this step will take some time - be prepared to wait for an hour or longer, if the slideshow has many effects). See this section in the Aperture User Manual on how to create Slideshows (Creating Slideshow Presentations).
You can play the exported movie on your mac, but to burn a video DVD to be viewed in a video player, you will need additional software, for example iDVD or Toast, see this User Tip by Karsten Schlüter:

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!

I have lightroom 5.7. Now I have apple TV to connect my Mac to the TV scree. I wish to do a slide show on the TV. However, on the Mac, using ITunes to share photos with the TV, I cannot locate all photo files. What is the best way to save the slide show and put it where the Mac sharing can find it? So far, I made on one folder in Lightroom, put some photos there and I found them easily. Can this be done with a slide show? Please help quickly! Also worried that the photos I put on the new folder are hard to find afterwards, when the show is done. Where do they go when I delete from from the new folder?I am not alone

Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

2nd slide show won't play

After creating a dvd with two slide shows using iDVD, the second slide show will not play past the first image. The first show plays with no problem.
When the second show is activated the first image comes up but I can't advance to any of the others.
It isn't frozen as I can return to the main menu and can still activate the first show.
I've tested on 3 different DVD players with the same result
The theme is the basic green linen with the theme graphic and drop zone replaced by a plain black background and two slideshow buttons.
Both slide shows are set to manual advance, fade through black and no audio or video. The images were imported directly from iPhoto. The first has 82 images the second 42 (combination of jpeg and tiff files).
I've replaced all of the images with different files from other shoots but still get the same result. I've also recreated the project from scratch twice to no avail.
Any suggestions? Anyone else run into this?
Thanks!

I have experienced totally similar circumstances. My husband thought that I had posted your email. I have gone beyond pulling my hair out.....
I traveled 1500 miles this summer to scan 1000 old family black and white photos and slides. I am composing an idvd production using 500 slides that I have brought in from iphoto. Before placing in iphoto, I took all of them through Photoshop and placed a title on each photo. My idvd is composed of 6 slideshows, each ranging between 50 - 98 photos. After burning, they all play back on my ibook, although they have been burned on my standing machine. Playing them on a tv DVD, one particular slide show will not advance. It stays on the first photo. It will not advance, ever. I am using the Memories theme from 5.0, manual advance, and page flip. (I have tried several other transition options) I have burned a minimum of 20 DVDs with the same outcome. I have tried eliminating photos, using folders, I have made every adjustment that I can think of. I narrowed it down to 2 photos that caused slide shows to not open, and then after I eliminated them from the DVD, that very same slide show still will not advance. I have made sure all existing programs were turned off, and that I have file share off....
My super drive uses a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-104
Up until this year, all DVD slide shows ran without a hitch. Whether I use Apple DVD's or Memorex, I get the same problems. I have spent alot of money on this DVD and seems that I should have a result. I'm afraid to upgrade to TIGER. My family is waiting for their copies.
Any suggestions for me???????
This is my first posting and am not familiar with how it goes, but am hoping that we can solve our problems!

Audio in PDF slide show doesn't play. What can I do ?

I created a PDF slide show with MP3 audio (from Elements Organizer version 10.0). The PDF doesn't play the audio. What can I do ?

Hello Andaleeb,
thank you for getting back to me.
The slide show works fine, including sound, from within Organizer. It
also works fine when I export it as a video. Just PDF isn't working.
In the meantime, from various contributions in the forum, I gather that,
unfortunately, the Organizer (just like Lightroom) simply does not
support adding music to PDF slide shows. Apparently, there is a way to
do that using Acrobat Pro (only costs 640 Euros).
You may consider my question answered.
Regards,
Thomas

Saving a slide show when catalog runs from flash drive

A little background - I manage two separate classes of students who use the same laptop with PSE8. Each student has their own flash drive to save a custom catalog for the PSE8. Each time students open PSE8 they load their custom catalog. All image files are saved onto the flash drive. We have been using custom catalogs because our computers have Deep Freeze installed. This system has worked well for images.
When saving a slide show there is no way to specify where the slide show should be saved. I assumed that the slide show would save to the catalog which is sitting on the flash drive. Unfortunately, this is not the case. How can I save a slide show on a external flash drive? I want students to be able to save and be able to reopen their slideshows.
thanks,
Robert

Robert,
Right now,I am looking at my current PSE 7 install on Vista. There is a .psess file type which contains slide show project information. I suspect that this might be the file you are seeking. And I think this file exists with the same purpose in PSE 8.
For PSE 8, you might find those files under a folder structure of
..... \Elements Organizer\Catalogs\name of the specific catalog\projects
I desginated the dots at the beginning of the folder structure because they could be different depending on what version of Windows is running and potentially even other installation choices specific to that machine.
Therefore, you might try searching for the .psess slide show project file type.
Note 1: I am not sure v8 will place the project folder and the .psess files in your case where you have used a custom location for the Catalog that is on a flash drive. Please post back here with the location where you do find the files
Note 2: I suspect that if you are teaching syncing to photoshop.com, you might also need to be concerned about the location of the syncdb folder. My guess would be that it is near that project folder. If you do determine the syncdb location, please also post it back here. Thanks.

BridgeCS3 -How to save a Slide Show?

Is there any way to save a slide show made in Bridge CS3. I need to use Bridge's Revolving Door transition. I cannot find a similar transition in any other software that supports slideshows. Perhaps someone knows of a script or an action that simulates the Revolving Door transition. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.

I can't figure out how to save one either. One person said it could be exported to a pdf file, but if he knows how to do that, he should tell someone. There is certainly no menu option for it.

How do you save and burn a movie to play on a dvd player to show on your tv

I finished a movie, and saved it as a MP4 file. How do you save and burn a movie to play in a dvd player and show on your tv.

I found an iDVD program through Softonic. Do you know anything about reliability and if it is safe to download this one? If not do you have any suggestions for one I might download.

Completed a slide show - won't play the audio

I have completed a slide show and added 3 songs. The songs are showing up on the audio bar at the bottom, but when I do full-screen preview there is no audio. My speakers are working fine, i'm able to play songs from other programs. I am working in PS Elements 9 on Windows 7.
And another question, if i want to burn the slide show onto a DVD - what type should I buy?
Thank you.

1 - I suggest that you post information about the format of the music files that you are using in this slide show. Also include whether these files have any album art (which has been known to create problems within the slideshow process).
And I wonder - did you import these music files to the Elements Organizer and if yes, can you play each of these music files from within the Organizer ?? If not, try importing one music file which will not play in the slideshow preview to the Organizer then attempt to play it within the Organizer. (why - sometimes playing a music file from within the Organizer is a good indication of whether the slide show editor can use this music file)
2 - You are asking about burning a slideshow to a DVD - I suspect that you want to burn your slideshow to a DVD that will play in your TV DVD player and Photoshop Elements does not supp[ort the function of creating this type of TV playable DVD. Adobe Premiere Elements is a separate video software product which does support creating TV DVD player DVDs. However, I suggest that you read my next point before purchasing Adobe Premiere Elements - because there is a simpler process you can try now.
3 - your Windows 7 software license provides a program of Windows DVD Maker which can be used to create a TV playable video DVD format.
Using Windows DVD Maker with the PSE slide show editor is a 2 step process -
- First, create a WMV file output (standard definition 640 x 480) from the PSE slideshow editor:
- Second, use that .wmv file (which you saved on your computer hard drive) as input to the MS Windows DVD Maker software.
4- Both for troubleshooting and for future potential use with Windows DVD Maker, I suggest that within the PSE Slideshow Editor you do the Output command to create a .wmv file (640 x 480 standard definition), give it a name and save it on your hard drive. Then attempt to play that .wmv file using Windows Media Player. Do you hear the music with playback from Windows Media Player ?

Need Basic advice on save format & slide show project

I have started a project to scan and save approximately 5,000 color slides and 5,000 plus Photos of Family and Friends over a 50 year period.
My goal is to use Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 to edit and save files to hard drive and then use PSE 9 to Organize, add tags etc.
and then produce slide shows to view primarily on big screen (52 inch plus) HDTV sets.
The equipment I will be using 1ncludes: 1. Epson Perfection V600 Photo Flatbed Scanner
2. Nikon Cool Scan IV Slide & Film Scanner
3. Dell XPS 8300, Intel i7 3.4ghz processor, 12.0gb installed memory, 2 each 1tb hard drives.
4. Windows 7 OS
I have been working on scanning and saving pictures for over 2 months and the deeper I get into this project the more questions arise.
I am looking for advise now rather than later so I won't have to re-do hours of work later. I have visited Forums and viewed all the Tutorials I could find for help.
Some things I don't entirely understand and really need help and advice on are: 1. What is the best sequence of workflow?
2. What format, size and resolution would be best to" save as" for my purpose?
I see no need to save in high quality PSD if I am not going to Print Photos later?
3. Should I do re-sizing to 1500pi X 1000pi (Or ??) during the initial edit or later in Organizer?
I have been cropping and saving photos in a multitude of sizes and resolutions.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I have a lot to learn. Thanks, Donald

There will be lots of opinions and your mileage will vary. Get the book ScanTips - www.scantips.com. It da bomb
I had a similar Epson flatbed and number and my workflow was like this:
* Use the Epson scan software
* Set to 2400 bpi and save to TIFF (I now wish I had saved most to high quality JPEG. Sigh).
* Use Digital Ice where it mattered (Ektachrome) and not where it didn't (Kodachrome)
* Organize belt and suspenders -- directories (and Organizer tags) identical to the date stamp on the slide. It will help you a lot when you correct the EXIF date later and if you ever want to find the slide again in the tray or a more compact box storage (I threw away a lot of trays)
* Expose the slides to air as little as possible. I found it better to go direct from carousel to scanner with only enough time to dust carefully and orient
(it takes less time to throw away losers on the scanner display than on a viewer box)
* Throw away the loser
* Start with a stack and as I lay them on the flatbed, dust carefully. I used an old-fashioned StaticMaster - saved lots of time versus a blower brush
* Learn the histogram on the scanner software. It does a good job on bottom and top values but the mid-tones almost always benefit and it will save you oodles of time
* set the correct date (as close as you can) in your organizing software
* If I cropped, it was to a 12x9 ratio (good for prints and not bad for conventional TV)
* I found Microsoft Photo Story 3 did a nice job and handled resolution and cropping fine.

SWF slide show does not play

I need some help with a Fireworks swf slide show.
This is the web page:
http://www.shortlifeweb.com/DrTedScott/index1.html
And here is a hard link to the slide show:
http://www.shortlifeweb.com/DrTedScott/images/slideshow.swf
The slideshow.swf works fine, so I think the files and swf
are properly located.
However, in the index1.html, the slideshow does not play.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ken.

To make things simple, I created a blank page - no template,
no formatting. And it still does not play.
According to some of the tutorials I have seen, the slide
show should play within Dreamweaver, but it doesn't play there
either.
Thanks.

How to make a slide show that will play on a TV?

I have a
collection of pics that I have used the slideshow module t
o create a slide show and it works great on my PC. How do
I create one that I can burn to a disk and play on a TV?
Do I need to purchase
something else or will Lightroom3 do what I need? The slideshow that I created will play on other computers but, when I put it in a dvd player for the TV it says there is no disk in it. I have tried 4 different players. Am I missing something?
I would be very gratefull for help with this!

Alternatively, you can export a H264 mp4 from the slideshow module, dump it on a memory stick (or plain DVD) and stick it in the TV or your BluRay player
Not all Blu-ray palyers can play MP4 container video files. So this may, or may not work depending on your Blu-ray player's capabilities. ALL Blu-ray players will play H.264 AVC HD video with .MTS file format, but Lightroom 3 does not offer this as a slideshow export option.
See the 'Overview' section here for more information on the file system and folder organization:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVCHD
The folder structure when using USB and SD media is different than DVD media! More information here:

Screen Saver Photo Slide Show...

...Hello... This used to work but for some reason it doesn't any more. Whenever I go to the screen saver preferences and choose a folder full of pictures to use as a photo slide show screen saver, it says 'folder contains no pictures'. However, is DOES contain pictures but won't recognize them. All the other screen saver features work besides this one. I tried to download and install some screensaver a while back and it hasn't worked since then... Any ideas? Thanks =)

FIX SLIDE SHOW FREEZE (auto play / loop) IWEB 09

IWEB 09
I Dropped a still shot slide show quicktime video onto my home pg. I used inspector to remove the play menue bar tab and then selected the video to AUTO PLAY and LOOP
When you go to the site everything is fine until your mouse curser crosses over the video and you simultaneously scroll down... it freezes the video and unless your smart enough to double click on the video to start play again it will just freez up.
Why is this happeneing? how do we avoid this? the whole purpose to dropping a video on your pg and having it run in auto play and loop is to be hands free and allow playback while you navigate... it shouldn't freeze up like that
anyone ever have this issue? know how to fix it?
Would very much appreciate your help
go to www.flatironfinishes.com you will see what I am talking about
Thank you!!

yeah you bring up a good point, I think as I was reading tutorial on how to upload audio and auto play/loop it I added it to the pg. and then took the company logo and pasted over that audio box...... later I wtched tutarial on uploading a quicktimes video and auto playing / looping
Yeah I am not to savy on codes and website building.... but can go back into IMOVIE and add in the audio to the movie file and have only one file...
Thank you for pointing that out.
now the html snippet is not recognizig the folder and file in my FTP files?? so the quicktime icon is showing.
So lets say I combine the audio and the video and then drag n drop it into the home pg. as originally done...
If it continues to freeze when you move the cursure over the video and scroll down..... what would I do?
moving the curser over the video does nothing its the combonation of scroilling down and having the curser over the video that it freezes up??
appreciate you guys walking e through this
S
I am getting closer... I think?
