Sharing Exported Iphoto Slideshow via QT Pro

I'll make this question pretty simple, I'm trying to "share" an exported Iphoto slideshow to my .mac site and send via email, I know it compress's the file when "sharing", but for some reason when I try to share in QT 7 Pro, the "share" menu option is grayed out and this only happens for exported Iphoto slideshows, If I recall you could share slideshow's in QT 6 Pro, why not in QT 7 Pro?

Hi Neal,
I just exported a small slideshow to quicktime. I see what you mean now, share is grayed out.
I have no problem sharing video clips from my digital camera.
Hmmmmm, there has got to be a reason for this.
I would share/export the slideshow and use the smallest size. This is the correct size for emailing and putting in your Movies folder on your iDisk.

Exported iphoto slideshow to itune but playback quality is low

I am using Macbook air Early 2014. OS X 10.10.1
My question is I exported iphoto slideshow to itune but playback quality is low. I used 480P MP4 format. How I can improve this?
Lo

Hello!
My first question is pretty obvious:
- is the quality great when previewing your slideshow in iPhoto?
If so, try the following:
delete the bad slideshow from iTunes
go back to iPhoto and select a better quality export method, like 720p or 1080p
Did that help?

Suddenly i can't export iPhoto slideshows to iDVD after upgrading to 10.8.2 I get the message "CouldNotCreateTmpDir" What do i do to overcome this problem? I've been making slideshows for ages using iPhoto and iDVD and it's suddenly stopped. Urgent help needed.

Are you saying that you cannot export a slideshow from iPhoto to the Desktop and then drag it from the Desktop (or the Movie frolder where it can be stored) into an open iDVD menu window?
Export the slideshow at the large or medium size:
They drag the movie file into the open iDVD window. NOTE: do not move the movie file once it's been added to iDVD. That's why it should be placed in folder where you intend to keep it permanently or at least until the iDVD project is completed and burned to a disk image and then to disk.

Sharing widescreen iPhoto slideshows to iDVD?

Hello,
I am trying to determine the best balance between picture quality and ease of use in creating slideshows. I have tried creating 720p "movies" with photos in iMovie, but so far iDVD has crashed every time I tried to use these to make a DVD. I then tried creating a widescreen iPhoto slideshow, and "sharing" it to iDVD. It worked, but the quality was horrible AND the exported movie was cropped to standard format!
Does anyone have any feedback as to the best way to achieve high quality DVD slideshows? I would prefer to use Ken Burns effects if possible. I don't care how long it takes to encode, so two-pass is fine.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Here are two threads on creating slideshow bound for iDVD:

Personally I prefer to create the slideshow directly in iDVD from stills imported from iPhoto (after cropping to the recommended 4:3 ratio beforehand). It's my opinion and experience that I get the best image quality that way. iDVD also lets you have titles or subtitles on slides. The titles that you put on in iPhoto get cut off once imported into iDVD as a QT movie.
Also, creating the slideshow in iDVD gives you a true slideshow, with forward and back buttons, if desired to be shown, and the user can use the forward and back buttons on the DVD remote to activate them.
Since I'm not a fan of the Ken Burns effect I don't lose anything this way over going thru iPhoto. To each his own.

Trouble exporting iphoto slideshow

I want to share my iphoto slideshow with friends and watch it on my AppleTV. I tried exporting several different ways and I can't get it to export. I have iPhoto '09. Help!

I tried to export using large format and got this message: "The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -9459.)" Got same message trying to export in medium format.

Poor photo quality when exporting iPhoto slideshow

Does anyone know which setting produces the best quality for an mp4 when creating a DVD using iDVD? I put a slideshow together using iPhoto because I wanted to use the iPhoto scrapbook theme. I exported the iPhoto slideshow using the highest quality (standard display setting) which produces an mp4 1422 x 800 (H.264, 30 fps, 7 Mbps, ~907 MB).
The iDVD project settings are:
1) Best Performance
2) High Quality
3) Professional Quality
What doesn't make sense to me is that #1 claims to produce a total ~1GB DVD with a 995 MB movie and shows the Quality level as green.
When selecting #2, the claim is a total ~643 DVD with a 575 MB movie with Quality in the red.
When choosing #3, the numbers stay the same as #2 but the Quality goes to yellow.
Why wouldn't the higher quality settings produce a larger DVD with less compression? Which setting really gives the highest quality?
The default is #1 (Best Performance) which clearly produces the lowest quality video when compared to the mp4 export from iPhoto (appeared with a higher quality) and when compared with playing the slideshow directly in iPhoto (appeared with the highest quality).
Would the quality be any higher if I export the iPhoto slideshow using a customized setting? iPhoto custom settings allow the choice of about 10 different compression types from Animation, Apple Intermediate Codec, to DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, to H.264, to MPEG-4 Video, to None (and others not listed here). The frame Rate can also be adjusted from Current (whatever that means), to 8, to 60. The Compressor Quality can be adjusted from Least to Best. Would "None" as the compression type produce the best quality when producing the iDVD?
The ultimate goal is to display the slideshow on the project at my church. The easiest way to do this is to put it on a DVD. But as described above, the quality decrease from iPhoto direct play of the slideshow is noticeable when moving to the .mp4 and extremely noticeable when putting the .mp4 in iDVD and playing the DVD back.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or links to better documentation.

you just cannot export your slideshows in order to burn DVDs, with the same quality
That's an issue with iDVD and the DVD standards. All DVD media is downsized to 640 x 480 or the wide screen 720 x 480. It's the nature of DVDs, not iPhoto. If you use the Ken Burns effect in iPhoto you will need to use the largest 4:3 ratio images possible so the zoom and scan of the KB effect is working on the most number of pixels possible.
I've found that the best final image resolution is obtained by creating the slideshow in iDVD from stills imported from iPhoto at the 4:3 size ratio. The downside to that method is no KB effect and only one transition per slideshow. I play those types of slideshows on a 50" 1020p HD Panasonic plasma TV and the images are quite good. But good is in the eye of the beholder.
See Jim Symon's post in this iDVD topic: Re: High-definition DVDs. Also search his other posts as he was working out a workflow using Photo to Movie to create high def movies and burn them with iDVD. As I recall he found and posted his workflow at one time.

How to export iPhoto slideshow to quicktime and then view on video iPod?

How do you export a slideshow to a Quicktime movie (from iPhoto) so that the resulting Quicktime movie is then viewable on an iPod?
I've exported slideshows (with transitions, specified Ken Burns effects, music, etc.) to Quicktime movies to try to view these on my iPod. I don't want to view my photo albums since they don't have of the effects that the slideshow has. There is an option to save the slideshow in a small file size that is presumably viewable on an ipod. About 80% of the time, however, the Quicktime movies are then NOT viewable on my iPod. My iPod just freezes when I try to start the movie.
Here are the steps I use to export
1. From iPHoto Select the slideshow / File / Export / select small movie
2. From iTunes / File / Import / select the Quicktime movie that was created from the slideshow
Background info
1. Apple G5 purchased in 2003, 2 CPUs, CPU Speed 2 GHz. Memory 2GB. Bus Speed 1 GHZ. CPU TYpe PowerPC 970 (2.2)
2. iPhoto '08 version 7.1.1 (354)
3. Video iPod purchased in May 2006. (60 GB). Uses iPod software version 1.2.3 (most current version for this iPod)
4. Quicktime Player version 7.3.0 Player Version 7.3 (7.3)
I've tried synchronizing my iTunes with the Quicktime movie to a new iPod and that doesn't work either. I've tried many different approaches but none of these ever work. I'd really appreciate any thoughts or ideas you might have. Thank you!

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.

I have created a slideshow (with music) in iPhoto, and each time that I try to export the slideshow, iPhoto stops the process and gives me the error message "OS Status Error -9459". What does this mean?

Go into the System/Energy Saver preference pane and turn OFF all options. Also turn off the screensaver. Then try again.

Cannot export iPhoto slideshow

Hi I am using iPhoto v9.6 on OS 10.10.1. I am having problem exporting a slideshow. After selecting the target, it shows a brief moment of a message of exporting but nothing happens, no file was created. Checking the box that says to add to Itune launches iTune but no file was added to ITunes too. I have tried:
1) creating a different and smaller slideshow - same problem
2) holding down option+cmd key when launching IPhoto to repair permission and library - same problem
Please help Thanks
Vincent

Many folks have fixed this with a re-install of the app.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Exporting iPhoto slideshows

Hello, I got a problem exporting my slideshow in iPhoto.
It just says exporting.. and nothing happens.
The bar does not load, help me please

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
is this a slideshow from an album or from the slideshow mode in iPhoto?
how many slides in the slideshow?
any music included?
Any of the tracks purchased from iTunes and protected?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Best way to export iphoto slideshow?

I made a slideshow in iPhoto with music that I want to be able to burn on either a CD or DVD. I have tried exporting to iDVD, but the quality was noticeably poorer. I like the way the slideshow looks in iPhoto, but when I export it, I lose my audio. I made a version in iDVD, but I can't use the snapshot theme from iPhoto (which I really like). This is something I am going to be giving to my students as an end of the year memento, so it will need to be playable on Windows, Mac, and hopefully most DVD players. Suggestions on the best way to accomplish this?

steph_g:
For future reference when you get ready to burn the iDVD project save it as a disc image first via the File->Save as Disk Image menu option. This separates encoding from burning.
Then mount the disc image on the desktop and open DVD Player to play it before burning to disk. If the disk image plays satisfactorily with DVD Player the encoding was good and you can proceed with the burning.
Burn the disk image to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to ensure the best burn possible.
Saving as a disk image lets you burn another copy at a later date without having to go thru the entire encoding process again which is the most time consuming part of the process.

Exporting iPhoto SlideShow

I am running iPhoto 6.0.4. Tried to export a slide show using File->Export. The only option seems to be a .mov file, which results in a huge file. I would eventually like to use iWeb to publish the slideshow to .Mac. The .mov file is too huge and I'd need to run it through iMovie just to get the QuickTime movie. In some cases, I also want to display the thumb nails.
If I worked directly from an album, I have more choices, including photos with different sizes under File, and QuickTime Movie under Movie. Is there any way for me to get the same flexibility from Slideshow?
Thanks!

Jon:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Not directly from the Slideshow function. But if you have Quicktime Pro you can open the resulting movie file in it and then change to a variety of sizes and types for posting on the web. QTP is, IMO, a good value.
Do you Twango?

Exporting iPhoto Slideshow Colour problems

When using the slideshow function in iPhoto 09 using the snapshot theme, it is causing issues with the colours on the Photos when exported.
On the exported slideshow, when a new photo appears on a snapshot it looks fine, then just before the next snapshot arrives on the screen the photo flickers, it is particularly bad if the colour red is present on the photo.
I may add that displaying the slideshow in iPhoto it is perfect with no flicker of colours, it's only when it is exported. Also it is being exported as the biggest size. I have tried many of the export function with iPhoto but to no avail, the flicker is there with all the export types.
Any help on this matter would be appreciated.
K

I have the same problem, only with the Snapshot theme, as far as I can tell. Basically it's like it jumps the gun a bit and desaturates the photo too early for the duration of one frame, then goes back to full color, then completes the dissolve to black and white. The single frame "flicker" is from that one desaturated frame. I got the same results whether exporting to Apple Prores or H.264 at 1280x720. Like already noted, it plays just fine in iPhoto itself and only presents the problem once a movie is exported. I actually didn't initially notice the problem because it flickered in time with the music for the first couple of photos and I thought it was a feature!

Export iPHOTO slideshow with ken Burns affects

Is there any way to create a slideshow in iPhoto with Ken Burns affects default dissolve between slides and then export it into FCX?

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

Exporting IPhoto Albums via Automator

I would like to export all my iPhoto Albums to an external drive. Since I have my photos already organized in Albums in iPhoto, I would like to keep the same structure in the form of folders/directories on the target drive. But have it in a flat folder/file structure instead of iPhotos more sophisticated format (AFAICT)
Is there an easy way to use AppleScript (does that still exist) or Automator to export every Album in my iPhoto Library to a separate folder on a designated drive? I'm happy if the folder name is simply derived from the album name, I can later go in and modify things. Its just that going through 200+ albums isquite tiring and error prone.
Thanks!
Alex

Terence,
version number is 9.6.1.
As for OS vs iPhoto Forum - I guess in the end I don't mind if there is a solution that uses Automator or some other means. In that sense, yes my question would have been overly specific.
Thanks!
