Sharing a slideshow

Hi- I created a slideshow with custom playlist in iPhoto. How/where can I publish to share with friends?? Thanks!

Export it - this will make a movie of it which you can upload to YouTube, Vimeo or wherever you choose.

Sharing iphoto slideshows to idvd

recently reinstalled ilife (iphoto suddenly disappeared!)
when sharing a slideshow created on iphoto to idvd, it transfers as a quicktime movie (do not want it to be a quicktime movie) is there a setting i can change?

If you want to have a slideshow in iDVD with only the still photos from iPhoto then select just the album of photos and use the Share->Send to iDVD menu. This will open iDVD, create a slideshow in it and import the album of photos from iPhoto. j
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar.

Sharing iPhoto slideshow using iDVD

After spending a painstaking amount of time, getting everything just perfect in my iPhoto slideshow, then using Sharing to export to iDVD, my sound and slideshow no longer line up.The slideshow now ends and the song gets cut off. I have even tried adding extra time to my slideshow and make other adjustments, but having to export takes time and I need it to end up the way I made it. This is only a 57 image, one song (4:08 min), slideshow. It goes off without a hitch in iPhoto. I have adjusted every frame for effects (no prepackaged iPhoto stuff) and duration. Any help here would be appreciated.

Eventually, I want to integrate my .jpg pictures with music ( assume MP3) together to be seen and heard on a server. Is there a way I can accomlish this?
Have not tried to do that.
In iPhoto 6 there is a thing called Photocast. That might work. I don't use iPhoto, so I'm not much help there. You should visit the iPhoto 6 group.
but I can not create a successful DVD to distribute to famiy members. What am I doing wrong?
Apparently you are doing something wrong. I do that all the time.
Why don't you tell us more about your computer. Use my info below for guidance. There are some pretty steep hardware requirements.

Problem sharing iPhoto slideshow to iDVD

Hi,
I'm using iPhoto 11 and have made a themed slideshow with music. There seems to be changes in the theme being made when I "share" it to iDVD 7.1.2. Minor stuff but really annoying. Things like the a page of photos changing from the theme of vintage paper to black surrounds, and putting in a fake postcard image.
I have previously done the same slideshow to iDVD (minus about 5 photos) and it worked brilliantly.
I've closed down iPhoto, restarted the computer and "shared" it to iDVD about 5 times and the same thing happens.
This is for my mother's funeral in a couple of days and I want it to be perfect.
Does anyone have an idea of what the problem is or a workaround?
thanks
Carol

Try exporting the movie to the Desktop at the large size
and check the slideshow to see if it keeps the correct theme. If it does you then open iDVD, select a theme and add the movie to the menu being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality final product:
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 and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was 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.

Photo sharing and slideshow

In February I am putting together a giant national meeting with about 20 people being flown in from all over the place. One of the learning and development activities that I am putting together is a scavenger hunt/photo challenge situation. Basically each time they complete a challenge, they have to take a photo. They are in groups of 4 and I am expecting that at least one person in each group will have an iphone.
My thoughts are that one member of the group take the pictures on their phone. When the scavenger hunt ends, we will all be having dinner at our bosses house around the corner. My boss wants there to be a slideshow of all the pictures taken during the scavenger hunt. I found out that my boss has a Samsung TV. My question to you is…what is the best way to do this so it is quick and easy? I will have access to an Ipad if necessary. Also, if I wanted to take pictures with an actual camera, how can we integrate those photos as well?
I think I heard something about a shared album on iphones but I think that is only available if we are on wifi and I don’t know if Chateau Ste. Michelle winery will have wifi (that is where the hunt will be).
I can't spend any money on accesories. The process needs to be free. What are your thoughts?

No, you can't link the photos or it's caption on a photo page. They are created by javascript. The transparent shape is your only option which, as you know is fragile at best.
I would take the time to add the photos to a regular page, size them using the Inspector/Metrics pane to the same size and link them. You'll have a much more stable and cross platform compatible page that way.

Sharing a slideshow experience

This is not a question. I learned something that I think might help others, while I was trying to make a slideshow playable on a DVD player connected to a television, with decent picture quality and features that I wanted.
I wanted to easily be able to have title screens and captions and full control of the music. The ProCare person gave me a good method that may not be obvious to other Mac iLife newbies like myself.
Use iPhoto to create the slideshow and do your Ken Burns settings, transitions, duration, etc. It is very important to go into the slideshow settings and set the display quality. Choose iDVD 4x3 or 16x9, as you wish, to have more pixels per picture than the “current display” setting. You need to set this for every slideshow that you create. Share the slideshow to iDVD to create a “.mov” file of the slideshow. Import the “.mov” file into iMovie. Once in iMovie, it is easy to add captions (as subtitles), title screens, and one or more pieces of music with volume control. You could even record a narrative track. With a large slideshow, it is easier to group the photos into several small slideshows. When finished editing in iMovie, share the movie into iDVD. From iDVD, then burn the DVD.
This works well for me, but be aware of a bug I discovered after first being shown this technique. When I returned home, I tried it myself and was shocked to see squished images in iMovie (bad aspect ratio). It took a lot of trial and error exporting and importing to discover, with help from the ProCare guys (it took several people), that when the iPhoto slideshow did not have the music option checked, the iMovie import would squish the images. Checking the music option in iPhoto is the only way to have iMovie import with the correct aspect ratio. Once in iMovie, you can remove the audio track on the slideshow video, and add the music you want on the other audio tracks.

Rohit,
Its a good idea to run some basic queries (v$datafile, v$lofile, v$tempfile) in database to confirm where are all datafiles on filesystem. Its very risk affair when you are relocating a file specially in unix. DOn't you have tape backups happening every other night? Its good idea to have tape back done every other night for this kind of issues.
Well thanks for sharing your experience and something to learn,

Sharing iPhoto slideshows on Facebook

When creating and sharing an iPhoto slideshow, the file included the default audio clip provided by iPhoto. Is it okay to share this file with the default audio clip or are the audio clips in iPhoto copyright restricted? Where in iPhoto can I find this level of detail? Thanks.

Those sound files are licenced for Personal Use. But it doesn’t matter. Your problem is convincing FaceBook that this is the case, because they consider FB to be broadcasting. So good luck with that.

Audio problems sharing iphoto slideshow with iDVD

I have created a slideshow of 200 photos and 4 random tracks from itunes.
It plays fine in iphoto. When I share it with iDVD and a .mov file is created only the first Track of audio plays both in preview and from a disk image. The rest is silence. The slideshow is set to match the display time to the total audio and this remains the same. I've tried removing the encoding and the itunes helper plist. Any other thoughts?

If you have Garage Band - make one track with the four songs/tracks and save in iTunes and use that track for iPhoto - just did that and worked great -

Slideshow project shared from iPhoto causes iDVD to crash

I've searched the forum and found a few threads that sounded like they pertained to this issue, but I didn't see much discussion beyond the question or any answers that had confirmations that they solved the problem.
I've created a slideshow project in iPhoto '08 (version 7.1.5), and I used the "Send to iDVD" option from the "Share" menu to send it to iDVD '08 (version 7.0.4). The export appears to work, a menu button appears in iDVD, and I'm able to work in iDVD to make changes to the theme, menu text, etc. However, if I try to actually view the slideshow movie in iDVD (either by double clicking on the menu button in the iDVD interface, or by using the "Preview DVD playback" button and then choosing the movie from the DVD menu), iDVD crashes. This is happening consistently. I've gone to my Movies folder and found the exported movie file that iPhoto created. This plays back in QuickTime Player just fine. If I add the movie to my iDVD project manually (as opposed to using the "Send to iDVD" option in iPhoto), it still causes iDVD to crash if I try to preview it.
Out of curiosity I brought a non-iPhoto generated QuickTime movie into iDVD, and it played back with no problem. I checked the compression format. The movie that worked was an Apple Motion JPG A movie file. I tried another non-iPhoto generated QuickTime movie file. This time iDVD crashed again. I noticed that this second non-iPhoto generated movie file said it was using the "Apple MPEG4 Decompressor" which is the same format as the movie file that iPhoto did create. I then tried an Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2 QuickTime movie file and that worked just fine. Is that the problem? Apple MPEG-4 Decompressor movie files cause iDVD to crash? Could that really be possible when this is the format that iPhoto uses when exporting? Is there a solution? I don't see a way to select a different compression format when exporting/sharing a slideshow from iPhoto.
I discovered this problem while teaching a class to 12 students who don't know much about doing creative projects on a Mac. There are going to be 12 folks who don't think very much of Apple's computers and/or its software if I don't get this problem solved quickly (last day of class is tomorrow). Everything has been going along swimmingly up until this final step of getting the slideshow into iDVD and then burning it to take home. I'm stunned that this isn't working since I've never run into this problem before, but it's happening consistently with every workstation I've tried here in this lab. All computers are running iLife '08. We're all trying to do the same thing. Slideshow project created in iPhoto, trying to send it to iDVD for burning. I been doing stuff with iPhoto and iDVD for years without problems, so I didn't think I needed to run through an entire process here in this lab before teaching the class. I just expected everything to work like it always does. D'oh!
Help!

UPDATE:
In case you're interested.... Just because iDVD crashes when I try to preview my slideshow movie from iPhoto doesn't mean I can't successfully burn my DVD project to disc. I was skeptical, but it works. The burn process went off without a hitch, and the DVD plays back using Mac OS X's built-in DVD Player.
Another workaround is to use the "OneStep DVD from Movie..." option in the iDVD file menu and avoid working inside of iDVD.
Someone suggested that perhaps my trouble was connected to using a legacy theme as opposed to one of the newest 7.0 themes. Any truth to that?
Just because I can burn a DVD successfully doesn't mean I wouldn't still like to fix the crash problem if possible. I'm grateful that I now know that I can work around the crashing problem, but I do think it's something that should be fixed and not just avoided.

IPhoto 06 slideshow shared with iDVD 06

I have created a slideshow in iPhoto 06 and shared it with iDVD 06. I have shared the slideshow from iPhoto in 4:3 DVD TV and Widescreen to iDVD and saved as standard and widescreen. When I play the DVD in my DVD player it crops the pictures and titles (I have played on two different TV's and DVD players with the same result). What am I doing wrong?

I created a slideshow in aperture. How I can share it?

Is there a way I can share a slideshow from Aperture? I know there are are sharing options like email (file too big), text message (file too big), photostream (can share only as still photos), facebook (not interested), Flikr (not interested).

Photo Sharing Themes

I am updating my site to a new custom theme. The old site was light text on dark background. The new site is dark text on light background. Is there a way to update the theme of a photo sharing block/slideshow so that the text in the photo block (is more appropriate to my new overall theme. I am not just talking about the photo captions, but the commands that are embedded in the photo block - like "Previous", "Next", "Play Slideshow", etc. I am hoping to do this without creating new photo blocks from scratch. Thanks.

Once I have customized my pages away from the beginning theme, the theme menu is grayed-out. I suspect that creating a new photo album template from scratch and rebuilding my albums is going to be my only option. If anyone has any other ideas - I am eagerly listening. Thanks.

Black at the start of one iPhoto09 slideshow, green discoloration on a 2nd

I have created and exported a number of slideshows successfully, both on mpeg-4 and .mov formats. I created one that runs fine but starts with a black screen, as if the first picture is a blank. The music plays during the black and everything else is fine. Why can't I get the pictures to start sooner?
Another issue came with a 2nd slideshow that plays fine but when exported as a .mov file is green and the picture is slanted/distorted. It runs fine in iPhoto. When I share it to iDVD using mpeg-4, it comes out fine. Basically I can't get this particular slideshow into mpeg-4 format.

I have created a number of slideshows just as you suggested: First an album with the pictures that I select for a show, then the + on the lower left; once created, I sometimes add, delete or change the order of what's in the slideshow; then I use the Export button on the lower right or the Share button to send to iDVD. I prefer Export because typically I add a slideshow as a chapter to a longer DVD that I have created. I encountered 2 separate problems:
1. When I Shared one slideshow to iDVD it worked fine, but later when I tried to export it as a .mov file, it was green and the image was distorted to the right. This happened with only one slideshow; perhaps if I deleted it and started over it would have resolved the problem. I just used the mpeg-4 file Shared to iDVD. Problem was, I couldn't make that file widescreen.
2. One slideshow that I Exported on the Display (1240X800) setting works fine, but it begins with a blank screen, as if I've placed a black slug for 5 seconds at the start of the slideshow. I did move a picture from later in the show to the first spot, but that shouldn't create a blank. No other slideshow has done that. I suppose I could, again, delete the show and start over, but that's not elegant as Apple should be, too much like a PC.
Neither of the above could not be worked around, but.....

Creating a DVD of a slideshow created in iPhotot

I've created three slideshows using the Ken Burns effect and would now like to produce a DVD of the same. My problem is, when I create a new DVD and open media, I don't see the slideshows listed in the iPhoto menu. I see the photo albums from which the slideshows were produced. Following the procedure described in iDVD help, of importing the iPhoto albums, I can't figure out how to re-apply the Ken Burns effect. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

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.
