Slide order in slideshows

How do I get IDVD to keep my slides in order by filename? If I drag them as a group it puts them in random order. The only way I was able to get them in numerical order by frame number is put all 420 slides in one by one!

How are you adding the photos to the slideshow?  From the Media Browser?  Are you drawing them from an album or Event?  If you have them in an album and sorted by title you should be able to keep the order in iDVD.  Just drag the album icon into the iDVD slideshow window.

  • Slideshow won't start and / or slide order is wrong

    I have multiple slideshows that I created in iPhoto'09. After I "upgraded" to iPhoto'11- some of my slideshows won't open. When I click on them I get the rainbow pinwheel of doom and need to force quit out of iPhoto. Other slideshows the slide order is completely wrong. I even went in and deleted my photos and replaced them and even then a few days later and they are all mixed up again.
    I tried rebuilding my library already and that did not seem to work. I am even unable to delete my slideshows-as when I select the slideshow I get the pinwheel of doom again.
    Arrghhhh- Have to say very disappointed in Apple on this one- overall iPhoto'11 has been completely unstable- this feels like something Microsoft would pull off.

  • How to change slide order in a slide show, in Photoshop Elements Organizer.

    In Photoshop Elements Organizer, how do you change the slide order in a slide show?

    Start by placing the images in an Album. Then select Album Order.
    You can drag the photos into order and they then remain fixed.
    Use the Album as a basis for the slideshow.

  • Why can't I select shuffle slide order in my settings?

    Why can't I select shuffle slide order in my settings. . . I see it there as an option, but it won't let me choose it.  I don't want to manually shuffle 329 slides!

    It's only available in slideshow that are generated from a album.  There you can select the Shuffle checkbox.  You can also save the settings for that specific album to be used on any set of photos that you might put in there.  Name the album something like Slideshow and reuse it.  Just remove the last batch of photos from it and add the new ones.  That will save you having to set all of the settings each time or just one setting like music.

  • How can I remove type slides from a slideshow?

    I have been working on this project for several days.  When I insert a type slide into the slideshow it appears in the string of thumbnails above the show.  Once I play the slideshow, however, the type slide starts to repeat somewhat randomly sometimes up to five times in a row in places where it was not inserted by me.  I can't use "remove from slideshow" because the additional type frames do not appear in the thumbnails at the top, and I can't use the command while the show is running.  Is my software corrupted?  Anybody else ever have this problem?  I have tried removing the type slide I can see from the string, but the "ghost" type frames continue to appear. 

    First  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    If that doesn't help  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Where is the Shuffle slide order button in iPhoto 6?

    Where is the Shuffle slide order button in iPhoto 6? - I don't see one...
    Click Settings at the top of the Slideshow dialog to set one or more of the following options:
    ** where is this button? ****---> Select "Shuffle slide order" to play slides in random order.

    Rev:
    In iPhoto 6 there is no Shuffle option in the slideshow mode. However, if you select an album or a number of photos in the library and use the Play button in the toolbar at the bottom there will be a Shuffle option in the Settings window. That's the only place you'll be able to shuffle the slides.
    Do you Twango?
    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.

  • Presentation widget -- slide order

    It would be great to be able to rearrange the slide order in the Presentation Widget.  I could always move the triggers around to the desired order, but the Prev/Next buttons would advance out of order, and I wouldn't be able to use the horizontal transition.
    Any way to achieve this?

    I'm not entirely certain the slideshow widget is scalable. Many of them are not.
    You can try adding this to your CSS code:
         img {max-width: 100%; height: auto !important;}
    If that fails, you might want to switch to a fixed-width, centered layout.  Liquid layouts are very tricky to work with.
    Alternatively, you could look for a jQuery slideshow that does support % widths -- although these carry the potential for distorting your images if the aspect ratio is not maintained.

  • Random changes when changing setting for individual slide in a slideshow

    I've used iPhoto for years and produced many slideshows. However, now when I try to use Ken Burns Effect for an individual slide, I click on the "start" area, adjust my slide, click on "end," and then iPhoto jumps to a totally different slide in the slideshow. When I go back to the slide I wanted to work with, nothing was saved, and the same random change of picture happens.
    Actually, the Ken Burns Effect hasn't worked correctly on ANY slide I've tried.
    Also, when I try to rearrange the slide order, the slides may stay in the correct order for a few seconds, but then a slide may jump four slides to the right (and again out of order). This behavior is strange and random. It is infuriating and I don't know what to do.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    ALSO, when I export a slideshow with music, the song plays fine for a few minutes, but then another song starts and the two songs are playing on top of each other (actually, it may be the same song playing over itself too).
    What gives?!

    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

  • Why Am I NOT Allowed to Shuffle Slide Order?

    I too just tried to shuffle all the photos in a new slidehsow and the "Shuffle Slide Order" is grayed out and does NOT allow me to select this very, very important option!!!
    What's up w/That???

    The only way to shuffle the slide order is to create the slideshow from an album, i.e. click on an album and then on the Play arrow at the bottom.  When the slideshow begins you can bring up the settings window.

  • Cannot view Keynote slides except in slideshow or slide navigator

    I'm using Keynote '09 version 5.0.3 (791) on Macbook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo with OS X 10.6.3. Been working fine ... always. Today I installed the latest Apple update and ... bad times. Firstly, many of my settings (screensaver, desktop, etc.) have changed. But the main problem I have found is that Keynote is now unusable ... I can see the slides when in slideshow and I can see them in the slide navigator down the left but I CANNOT SEE THE SLIDE CONTENT IN THE MAIN WINDOW which means that I cannot create or edit slide content. I've checked a whole load of old Keynote files and am convinced it is not a problem with any of the files (they open fine on other computers). The same happens when I try to create a new Keynote presentation ... I can create a new slide and enter content on it (although I cannot see what I am typing) and I can then view the slide in slideshow. I'm thinking that the latest Apple update has broken something. I tried to submit a ticket to Apple ... but was told I need to pay to do this. Can anybody help please?

    PROBLEM SOLVED !!!
    By the way, I tried creating a new user account and that didn't help. I spent about 9 hours in total searching these forums and the web for a solution. I spoke to all my tech friends for help. I tried everything, including repairing disk permissions, screen resolutions, etc. In the end we figured out that the update must have corrupted - possibly because I downloaded and installed it while within a corporate network. So I downloaded it again (making sure I had the latest combo version from the Apple web site) and then installed it again from home. Now everything is working fine!
    So my recommendation to anyone who has the same problem ... backup everything and then back it up again; get the latest combo update from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1017 and only download and run it when you are not in a corporate environment or going through proxy (just in case that makes a difference).
    Thanks to everyone for trying to help me and I hope this helps you

  • Magic Moves not always Magic (non-linear slide orders)

    Magic Moves opens the possibility of non-linear slide orders with animated transitions. Previously in keynote (KN '08), as far as I could ascertain, this was impossible. Now a slide with several hyper-linked objects can enjoy an animation of the on screen objects to there new positions, where-ever they may be on the on the linked slides.
    Unfortunately, as in some other things Keynote, it seems flakey. While it works most of the time for some reason, even when duplicating the linking slide and repositioning the very same objects, the Move is delayed and instantaneous: decidedly not Magic!
    The joy of being able to finally make the fully interactive Keynote presentation that will slide objects the right amount automatically according to there destination slide seems possible. The great thing is I don't have to construct all the different moves linking 26 different pages to each other via various routes (8 links on each page, which happened to be 8x26 possible linking routes = 208 move builds: too much for prescriptive build/move animations).
    But if I can't get it too work 100% I can't really show my client. Any know issues with this Magic Move stuff?
    I can replicate problem but not predict when it won't work or decode what is triggering the problem. Searching forum only revealed comment the Magic Move is work in progress. Note I am not scaling any objects. Can upload if it helps. Part of the original Presentation with a linear narrative can be seen at:
    http://www.vimeo.com/3018559
    Essentially I am endeavouring to make all the images 'clickable' so the film strip glides (against the preset order) to become the centre project. Also like to add a left and right button. All this can be theoretically done with invisible rect's with hyperlinks and Magic moves on each slide.
    Thanks for reading though all this – hope it's clearer than mud.

    Thanks for the response, Kyn.
    As it happens writing that long explanation, I thought I'd look from another angle and returned to the file – finding the answer straight away.
    Conclusion:
    Hyperlinks never use Magic Move transition, even if it is selected transition for the slide. I was getting hoodwinked by the fact that when I had forward and back arrows with hyperlinks to other slides, those slides were before and after the current slide. So they were Magic Moving with a mouse click on the Hyperlink, but only when forward one slide or backward one slide. Any other linking distance failed to Magic Move.
    I've already made the feature request but *please second it*, this would be a very powerful feature. Think Non-Linear Presentations and Info Kiosks with seamless transitions. And interaction is an area Powerpoint has decided edge on Keynote so it can and needs to be closed! (PP is such a trial of an interface after KN).

  • Carousel Web App - Alphabetical Slide Ordering?

    Hi team,
    The default display order for slides in the "Carousel" Web App seems to be Alphabetical. My Client wants the first slide featured to be a new product which is not the first alphabetcally and I'm hesitant to change the title of the slide to "AAA Trolleys Now Available" as this will then show up in the title when the user clicks through.
    I'm using the Adora template. I have created a test 'untouched' copy of the Adora template here:
    http://adoraspare.businesscatalyst.com/
    ...although... you can easily test this out yourself (and access the back end)  by just setting up a spare trial site yourself using the Adora Template.
    I can't find anywhere to change the default slide order from alphabetical.
