Slide show bug

Has anyone else tried to create large slide shows? This does
not seem to work. I used 55 photographs in a slide show (flash
elements). When selecting transitionType Random it did not work at
all. When selecting transitionType Rotate it successfully showed
the 55 photographs but the captions were garbled and dissappeaded
after 13 images. This seems to be a very serious bug that someone
must have seen before. Any ideas?

OK I figured this out a bit more. I was wrong regarding one
thing, The problem was not the number of images (size) but it was a
number of smaller problems.
(1) The image caption text cannot contain certain characters.
A comma will result in the caption switching to a new image. An
ampersand will result in all hell breaking loose, and don't get me
started on Swedish characters. So write your caption without these
characters (not great). I think this is still a bug so I am going
to report it. It is not flash it is the CreamWeaver editor that has
this problem.
(2) The Image Transition option "Random" simply does not work
it will also mess up the order of the images.
Knowing this it makes it easier to create slide shows, if not
it will drive you nuts. What made me think think this was related
to size was that I used these characters towards the end of my
slide show, so I started thinking Oh it got too big for
DreamWeaver, but it wasn;t, it was the characters.
And also an answer to KenRogers2, the image URLs I set to my
own images (relative paths). You can see the result at
http://www.thomaswikman.com/TravelPhotos/Sweden_2006/SlideShowSweden.htm
That slide show was the first thing I created using
DreamWeaver (trying it out).

  • I have the most horrible muse bug ever with slide shows mixing images up

    Hi there.  I'm making a comic. I uploaded multiple episodes of the comic - each to it's own slideshow in adobe muse.  However the pages in the various slideshows are mixing up with my other slideshows.  At first I thought it was just a caching problem in preview mode of muse because after uploading all looked okay and my on-line website looked perfect.  However suddenly today several of the comics have the wrong images in them. I did nothing in the assets window.  It was all working (at least on line where it counts) until now.  this is a disaster.  My poor website.
    I uploaded it to my own website but if anyone wants to see I can also upload to BC.
    this problem appeared again (but on upload as well today) after I switched off the thumbnails.  maybe that is a clue as it was working until then (at least online).
    Please help me - I am desperate.  And no, I do not wish to rename all the pages in my comic from page 1.jpg to page 1_comic4.jpg etc to give each image (page of my comic) a unique name.  I would have thought I could have same name assets that are different images.  To rename all my images and put them back into muse would be so much work it would probably be easier for me just to go back to iweb and wait for easyweb to come out.

    I have batch renamed all my assets, deleted all my slideshow thumb nails and replaced them so none of the images in my slide show have the same name as other assets anymore. I am sure this is what caused the problem.  I am about to reupload my website, so you won't be able to see the problem anymore (I sincerely hope).
    The problem wasn't always reproducible. To be able to reproduce the bug you need 10 different slideshows (all with images called page_1.jpg, page_2.jpg etc with more than 50 pages in some of the galleries, and then you have to upload the slideshows, make changes to the website,upload again, then make more changes to the website, then go to all the galleries one at a time with the thumbnails visable then uncheck the show thumbnails box for all the different slideshows and upload again.

  • LR3 Slide show photo orientation - bug or user ignorance???

    I am building a slide show in LR3 and some of the file orientation shows up in the slide show incorrectly.  For instance, I want the file to show vertical but in slideshow it shows sideways.  I have updated the file in Library and created a a Collection for the photos I want in the slideshow... in the collection and in the library the orientation is correct but the slideshow view still shows it sideways.... Not sure if I am doing something wrong or the program is bug... either way its annoying.  Any thoughts on how to resolve this?

  • Slide Show Screen Saver Superimposed Images Flag or Ball -- Bug?

    Hi,
    I have searched and found two other archived questions on this topic, but no real answers. Please help!
    I have the screen saver set to do a slide show from the Pictures folder, where I have lots of family photos. This works fine, but about every 10th photo or so, it shows the picture, and the next image is the same photo, with a weird low-res ("jagged edges"), blown-up (full-screen), icon-like image in the middle, superimposed upon my image. It's usually circular, often has a national flag or comic scheme to it, sometimes has a face, and always has effects to make it look round like a ball, which it usually is in shape (though sometimes it's not circular). When I look, my images have not been altered recently and don't seem affected, so the problem seems to reside in the system, right?
    I'm not a techie but I have used Mac since 1985 and remember reading several years back in one of the Mac mags about such a problem -- whether termed a trojan or whatever. I do have all my old Mac data and apps in a folder on my mini, so it's possible it could have been pulled over from my last Mac and a remnant of some prior vulnerability. But I've never seen this behavior before OSX, neither Norton nor ClamXav finds a problem, and I can't seem to find ref to that article by net searching or here. What causes this, and how can I solve it? It really bothers my mother-in-law to see pix of her grandkids with weird flags superimposed on them, and I'm wondering if this is some Mac problem with more serious consequences not yet discovered by Norton or ClamXav. Thanks.
    P.S. Here's the text of one of the archived messages:
    Screen saver
    Posted: Oct 3, 2006 11:24 AM
    Whenever the slide show runs from my pictures out of iphoto on my screen saver, other pictures appear occasionally on top of my pictures. They are usually other country flags or weird shapes with jagged edges. Any idea how to keep this from happening or where these other pictures are coming from? Thanks.
    Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    The problem is not with the screensaver but rather that the Pictures folder insists on having the iChat flags alias inside it. Since the screensaver recognizes aliases I have moved all my photos out of the "Pictures" folder and into another folder called "Pictures not screensaver". This is because the screensaver will show ALL pictures in the Pictures folder regardless of how embarassing they are. That leaves the Pictures folder for just aliases to pictures or folders of pictures. This allows me to control exactly what pictures are shown on the screensaver. It is an area of OSX that needs some improvement.
    Regarding the superimposed images, that is normal. Those iChat icons are transparent, while JPGs are not transparent. Screensaver piles newer pictures on top of older pictures. If it piles transparent images such an GIF or PNG on top of previous pictures they may be transparent and cause an alarming effect.
    I have imagined this feature could be used in some cool way but have never seen anyone do it. For example, nice JPG backgrounds with semi-transparent PNGs on top with zooming animals. I suspect Apple will introduce such a screensaver in 10.5.

  • Bug in full screen slide show: Speed-values under 1.0 don't work, they will be zero. Maybe a german problem because of ","?

    I wan't to do a full screen slide show with changing images under one second. But this doesn't work because every value under 1 will be 0. Maybe this is a german problem because we use "," instead of a ".". But I can't use ".", the field doesn't allow this. Is there a workaround or a bugfix?
    Thanks

    With any SSD, step #1: make sure the firmware is current.
    How you clone or install the OS also can differ.
    Linc has a 2008 and 10.8.2 but then I would expect his system to be rock solid. Same cannot be said for more than a few 3,1 owners that... all the issues with power management and panics vanish if they go back or dual boot and keep both, when they use 10.6.8 instead. And of course ML and Lion dropped support for PowerPC code, drivers - a good reason to do a clean install and not carry any older apps, drivers and plugins with the new system.

  • How to arrange photos in Aperture slide shows to the beat of the  music?

    Is there anyone that knows how to arrange photos to the beat of the music in Aperture slide shows? I have tried to do a search for this topic, looked at "help" and still can get things to work properly. The "beat of music" command seems to be grayed out. Is there a bug in the software? Any help would be appreciated.

    I have been following this thread with great interest. I have tried to do this in Aperture as well. Jumping ahead just a bit to what might be David's next issue, once we figure out why the option is not available to him.
    For me once the music has been added the " Align slide to the beat" is available. However it doesn't seem to do anything.
    I have accomplished this in iMovie and Final Cut Express. In both of these programs you have to actually mark the beats for things to work. You mark the beats and the software sets the play duration to match. This is pretty easy in iMovie. I am hoping for a similar or better interface in Aperture 3. How is this accomplished in Aperture?

  • Exporting and I photo slide show to IDVD

    I am trying to expoert a slideshow from Iphoto to IDVD the problem is that I have 2 songs on the slide show but after the export only one song will play. the slide show continues after the first song but not the music? I like the auto ken burns effect and the titles that I can include in iphoto so perfer to stay with that program to create the slide show instead of starting in iDVD. Any suggestions would be apprecated.

    Hi PKColorado,
    You find find at least two other threads pertaining to this topic right here on this page.
    Only one song exporting with Slideshows
    Right now, this seems to be a know problem/bug. There have been some work-arounds. Don't know if the problem is with iPhoto, Quicktime or a combo of both.
    -From Bob Worthington: re-ripping the cuts I wanted as background music for the DVD as a single cut in iTunes. I then made a playlist containing the one extended cut of music.
    -Old Toad: share to Quicktime from iPhoto and then import the resulting movie into iMovie you can extract and delete the audio from the video and add the two songs to the video and save.
    Quicktime Pro-open the movie and bring up the Movie Properties menu window. In the top window select the audio track and delete it.
    If you want more than one song you'll have to join them together with iMovie or some other application. Then open that joined file with QT Player. Then do a select all and copy. Now go to the QT window of the movie and select the Edit->Add to Movie menu option. You don't want to scale it because it will change the play speed of the audio unless it's time is exactly the same as the movie.
    You could go the other way, open the movie, select all and copy, and then past with scaling to the audio. That will change the speed of the movie and transitions to fit the audio track. In this case the resulting video file will have the name of the audio track file that you started with.
    You may have to play with it a bit to get exactly what you want. Be sure to work with copies of all the media files for the project.
    -Peter Burtwistle: I opened the Qt movie that iPhoto makes when you export to iDVD and removed the sound track.
    Then made a new soundtrack by opening all three songs in QT, then cutting and pasting them together.
    Finally use QT Pro's 'Add to Movie" option to add the soundtrack to the original movie.
    This worked well and was fast to do too.
    -Joe Lombardo: I ended up having to extend the songs by 20 seconds so I brought them all into GarageBand and made some edits. Then I exported them all to iTunes as a single track and used that for the slideshow
    As an addendum to Bob Worthingtons solution. Create your playlist in iTunes.
    burn the playlist to CD. Import into iTunes using the option to join tracks. Now use this tract for your slideshow.

  • 9.4: slide show shows only a dozen photos

    Hello.
    If I press the slide show button at the bottom in any given smart folder or album, slide show is supposed to show the content of the folder/album as a slide show. So it did before 9.4. Now I have major problems with iPhoto:
    - before the slide show even starts I sometimes have to wait for 5 minutes while some reading or writing is happening on my external drives (those are not related to iPhoto at all).
    - when the slide show eventually starts it will only show a limited number of photos (like about a dozen) instead of all photos in the folder/album. At the end of the 12th or 13th photo you're stuck. The photos are not the problem because they worked in the last iphoto version.
    Like this, I can't use slide show at all. I took my library to a friend. Aperture has no problem with my library and slide shows.
    Is this just a iPhoto 9.4 bug which I need to wait for Apple to fix (some time next year) or is there any setting I can tweak/reset etc. ?
    Thank you for your help.
    R.

    Problem #1, the incredibly long start time for a slide show incl. heavy reading/writing on external drive, is still there.
    How big is your HD and how much free space on it?
    (which I also (re-)created with 9.4).
    What does that mean?
    Plenty. But only Aperture has the OS integration. Not all have Smart Albums. Search on MacUpdate

  • In Mavericks iPhoto slide shows, why do the last pics come first, some pics are upside down, and some vertical pics are horizontal?  How can I fix this?

    On my iMac OSX, 10.9.4, Mavericks, I have been trying to view an album as a slide show.  The slide show starts at the end (bottom row picture) instead of the beginning (top 1st picture).  I have gone to View>Sort Photos>Manual.  But the order of Ascending and Descending choices are greyed out with the default check by Ascending.  How can I start at my beginning without rearranging all the photos?  Also, some of the photos are upside down and sideways, even though they are correct in the album.  How can I fix this??   Thank you!  Also, can I include a video in the slide show?  Up to how many seconds/minutes?

    Is this a slideshow created directly from an album?
    There's a bug with iPhoto 9.5 and Mavericks in that slideshows from Albums do not play correctly if they are sorted manually.  Only photos that have been sorted by date, keyword, rating or title will play from albums correctly.
    To have a slideshow with photos sorted manually use the slideshow mode in iPhoto.
    Send a bug report to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

  • Premiere Elements 7 crashes on creating slide show

    Hi Gurus,
    I use Premiere Elements 7 for about 2 years and it works fine when I need to create a film from set of video fragments.
    But I also need to create slide shows from pictires.
    For some reason PRE7 crashs on building such slide show (at least, this is valid for a long enough slide show). It happens not always on the same slide, but approximately at the same percentage of the slide show to be built.
    I run PRE7 on Windows XP, SP3 32-bit
    What may be a reason of this crash? Conflict with some other software, installed on my computer? Lacking resources (I have 4 GBytes of memory, but Win 32-bit uses only 3.25 GBytes)? Known bug?
    I tried to install the trial version of PRE9, but the result was even worse: it crashed even more quickly than PRE7. i.e. less slides were processed before the crash.
    Any suggestion that can help to solve this issue will be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ilia

    If you can handle smaller numbers of large images, but not larger numbers, it is likely a resource issue. It could be RAM, Virtual Memory, or similar.
    This ARTICLE might be helpful for setting up your computer for an editing session, and freeing as many resources, as is possible. This ARTICLE discusses Virtual Memory.
    PrE 9 will have about the same resource requirements, or might use a bit more, so a large number of large still images will remain a problem.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • PSE 9 - Crashes when starting Slide Show

    I am using PSE 9 running on a Windows XP computer with adequate hard disk and RAM resources. I have adjusted the PSE "Preferences" to ensure that there is sufficient RAM available for PSE. Every time I attempt to start the Slide Show feature from the Organizer, I get a Window's error box that says "Sorry PSE has encountered an error" and after selecting whether or not to send the error report the program closes. Does anyone have an idea of what I might try to resolve this problem?
    Thanks...

    I know this post doesn't really help you guys, but I'm also using PSE9 on a Win7 Intel Quad Core Dell computer and the spot healing brush works fine. I only offer this post to indicate that it apparently is not a universal bug in PSE9. Perhaps an Adobe expert can jump in here and help. I can only offer that in Preferences I do have the RAM dialed up to 80%, but I don't think this is related to your problem.

  • PSE 8 organizer crashes when I try to create a slide show

    I'm running Win7 ultimate 64 on my core i7 machine, with a radeon 5850 graphics card.  When I'm in PSE8 organizer and I try to create a slide show, the program crashes immediately.  PSE8 seems to function normally and I haven't had issues yet with editing photos with any of the tools.  Any ideas for a fix?

    I've got the same problem. I have just bought a Windows 7 PC with an i7 processor and 8Gb RAM. This wasn't an issue with my previous PC running Windows XP and PSE 6 so I thought it was down to PSE 6 and Windows 7 being somehow incompatible. I therefore downloaded a trial of PSE 8 but this also crashes every time I try to create a slide show.
    I have uninstalled Intervideo WinDVD as recommended by John's link and followed the other instructions as well but this bug doesn't seem to go away.
    However a workaround for me is that I can open previous slide shows (created under Windows XP and PSE 6), edit them and save as a new project. The slide show function is still very very unstable however and I have to save after each single successful action. It seems to crash at random but mostly when I try to insert any music into a project. It can be very frustrating and time-consuming for something that should be a very simple task for a grown-up, expensive program.
    Anybody got any other ideas? Of course I've reported this to Adobe but I'm not expecting a reply (I've never had one so far so why should they change?).

  • IWeb 08 blogging with slide shows

    Help!
    I am using iWeb 08 in a fairly generic way. After seeing what her sisters have all been able to accomplish with blog sites such as blogger.com she wants to be able to include a slide show in her blogs. 2 questions:
    1. I have figured out how to export photos from iPhoto to quicktime. It creates a simple but usable slideshow in .mov format. I then open iWeb, click on the "entries" screen, create a new blow, then drag/insert the quicktime movie into the "placeholder" image to replace it in the blog. The problem is that when i go to my website, which opens up to the home page that shows all of the recent blogs with the most recent one first, the embedded quicktime file doesnt play. It only shows the first frame. When i click on it, it takes me a page with just that one blog on it, and then the mov file works, and i get my slideshow. What do i need to do make the .mov slideshow work in the home page. My wife wants the slideshow(quicktime movie) to work on the main page...).
    2. Second question. The quicktime slideshow is pretty generic. Sites like Picturetrail let you create pretty cool slideshows (flash files i believe) and then embed the html in your own blogsite ie blogger.com etc. I played around with embedding the html in iWeb and couldn't get it to work? A) can i embed a flash html in an iWeb blog, and B) will have the same problem of it not working on the homepage screen..
    Sorry for the long post. Huge brownie points if i can get it to work, not to mention less grief for switching to a Mac
    Thanks for your help!

    The problem wasn't always reproducible.

  • Captivate 4 Question Pool Slides Show Ghosts

    Random question slides display captions from previous slides
    when I publish to Flash 8-10. Publishing to Flash 7 or using the
    same questions (but not as random questions) cures the problem.
    The captions appear on all but one random question slide (8
    of 10 doesn't display the problem). The captions are from four
    upstream slides each of which has different rollover captions. The
    problematic question slides show all the rollover captions,
    superimposed over the question.
    The PC showing the problem is running Win XP SP3, Flash WIN
    10,0,22,87. Other PC's at the same site do have the problem when
    running the same published show.
    I've tried recreating the question pool from the original
    question slides, recreating the random question slides,
    uninstalling and reinstalling Flash on the target PC with the same
    results.
    Any one else noticed this?
    Any suggestions for a fix other than publishing in Flash 7?

    Did you or others submit an official bug report?
