Slide Show Corruption

I'm building my first iPhoto 09 slideshow, using the Sliding Panels theme. I've worked with previous versions of iPhoto, and am impressed with this theme, except ...
In one particular spot in the the slideshow, I can't adjust the picture -- it always displays larger than desired, and isn't responding to any cropping that I do. It doesn't matter which picture is in the slot, that one always is a problem.
This isn't a particularly large slideshow -- 72 pictures in total, and it's the 68th picture/slot that is bad.
I just checked Software Update, and I don't have anything needed for iPhoto.
Any suggestions?

It's either a problem with that album, or a problem with the chosen iTunes track.
Have you tried with a different album? with a different iTunes track?

IMovie Slide Show corrupted space?

My students are creating iMovie slide shows of their photographs. Some imported them from iPhoto and others imported their photos as clips.
Today, 3 students on 3 different computers had this problem: everything was going along fine, they looked at the slide show and it was fine, then they started the timeline again and one or more photos had vertical lines through the frame- like they were corrupted. We deleted the photo and went back to the original photo. Resaved it, imported it again into iPhoto and then to iMovie. Placed it and same thing. We moved it to another location on the timeline and it wasn't the frame but the spot in the timeline that seems to be the problem. When we placed a picture that was fine elsewhere in that space, it showed the vertical lines-like wide nasty tracking lines.

Once your project is complete, export it by choosing share/share to media browser, choose a size that is big enough but not too big, you don't say where you are from or whether you are working WS or 4:3, but it really wouldn't do any harm except waste a little fo your Hard Disk space to choose Large if you are in doubt.
Close imovie, open iDVD, (if you've not used iDVD take a little tutorial), decide what sort of project you want to make (some are just real easy, others allow you a bit of artistic license), click media, a window will open (the media browser) and you can simply drag the movie you just made to your iDVD project.

IPhoto '08: How can I copy an album or slide show to another computer?

Hi,
I want to take a slideshow of a trip that I put music to and move it from my iBook to my new iMac so I can use iDVD to make a DVD of the slideshow (since I can't burn DVDs on my iBook). I have TONS of pictures from this trip, so it would really be a pain to cull through them again, even though all of the photos are on both computers.
Is there any way to copy a slide show (or an iPhoto album) to another computer via an external hard drive? I looked in the iPhoto Help and couldn't find anything on the subject.
Thanks for any advice! I promised some tripmates I would send them a DVD of my photos back in October, so I'm starting to feel guilty!
Karin

Karin:
Here is one way to create the DVD:
1 - on your iBook with the slideshow ready to do use the Share->Send to iDVD menu option.
2 - once the slideshow is compiled into a Quicktime movie and is exported to iDVD, quit iDVD without saving.
3 - look inside your Movies folder for the QT movie that was just created.
4 - copy that movie file to your iMac.
5 - open iDVD on your iMac, select a theme and add a slideshow to the menu window with the "+" button at the bottom.
6 - open the slideshow editing window by double clicking on the slideshow button or text in the menu.
7 - drag the QT movie into the slideshow window on the left. This will let iDVD scale the QT movie to the TV safe area so non of the movie is lost to the TV overscan that will occur if the movie is added directly to the menu.
8 - once the iDVD project is ready use the File->Save as Disk Image to save the project as a disk image. This allows you to mount the disk image and play it with DVD Player to confirm that the encoding went as it should and there are no typos in the menu or title (my biggest error).
9 - when ready to burn use Disk Utility to burn, at the slowest speed possible, to a DVD-R disk.
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.

Web Gallery Slide Shows: Music and Captions an option?

The title sums up the question. Can web gallery slide shows (on my .Mac account) be made to look and sound like the slide shows i'm running in iphoto - with captions and audio?

Mark:
You can get the captions to be displayed in the web gallery by running this script to move the description to the title field before you publish the gallery. After the gallery is published you can change the title back to the file name with the Photos->Batch Change menu option.
Have you considered using iWeb to create a photo page/slideshow and add the music to it. Here's a test page of such a setup. Be sure to read all of the comments on the linked page as there's a minor error noted in the script that is easy to correct.

In iPhoto slide show, is there a way to splice several short tunes together to play for the show?

Mike:
If you want to do a little more that string several songs together, i.e. like cutting out the lead in and out, overlapping, etc. you can try Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder. Always be sure to work with copies of your audio tracks.

Moving iPhoto slide show to iMovie

Using iPhoto, I created a slide show from a series of photos. I used the Ken Burns effect to add motion to the photos and got everything just right. I wanted to export or move the slide show to iMovie so I could add titles between certain of the photos in the slide show. I found an option to export to iDVD but not iMovie. Shouldn't I be able to move the slide show between iPhoto and iMovie? Eventually, I'll want to move my slide show from iMovie to iDVD, but I want to add the titles between the clips first. Does anyone have any advice regarding this matter?

Using iMovie HD 6, IMO it gives the user much better control over clips, stills and adding audio, you click on a still clip and then click on the Show photo settings button at the bottom of the Media pane. A translucent pane will come up where you can set the KB effect parameters.

Slide show from CD?

Is there a way to play a slide show from a CD of pictures (from someone else's camera) without loading them all onto iPhoto? Thanks.

Shelly:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes there is. See this screenshot video showing how to do it from a folder on the desktop. It's exactly the same from a CD but slower. Select all of the photos on the CD and do a Control-click to bring up the contextual menu. There select the slideshow option.
Opps. That may be a Tiger only option. I'm not sure. You'll have to check it out.

Synching music to iPhoto slide show

I have created a playlist in iTunes for my iPhoto slide show. It needs some tweaking here and there to align the music with the correct slides. Is there a way to start in the middle of the show to work on this or must I always start at the beginning. I know I could probably do this in iMovie, but I am crunched right now and don't know if I have the time to invest in learning a new program.
Thanks.

Carole:
With iPHoto you get what it gives you. If you want to precisely align the music with slides export the movie without music. Then import the movie into iMovie and add the tracks. In iMovie you can overlap the tracks for transitioning from one to another, cut tracks to fit, etc. The save the movie or export to iDVD depending on what the final use is.

PDF vs WMV Slide Shows

This is a follow up to a previous submission.
I have three separate slide shows to prepare. They contain 235, 385 and 470 images respectively. Prior to making a slide show I disable Power Settings from Control Panel. I have a Windows 7 operating system and Adobe Elements 9. I make *.pdf shows at largest setting (sharpest image) with no difficulty and complete the transfer well under 30 minutes.
When making a *.wmv (largest resolution) slide show, I am successful with the 235 (24:06 minutes) and the 385 (38:48 minute) image shows. However, when attempting one with 470 (49:06 minute) images, the 49:06 time scale is shown but the last image number appearing is about 330 at a time of 33 - 35 minutes. When splitting up this show into two parts and attempting to recombine in Media Center I have similar experience. When transfers takes more than 30 minutes, my screen turns black and upon moving the mouse, the Window 7 WelcomeScreen appears. The Adobe transfer screen reappears when I Log On from the Windows 7 Welcome.
When the screen goes black, does the appearance of Windows 7 Welcome interfere with image transfer since it seems the last image transferred is about the time the screen goes black? This occurs when making a slide show from Adobe Elements 9 or Windows Media Center despite Power Settings disabled. Is there a way to disable the W7 Welcome Screen during an image transfer and would doing so correct the problem? Or is there just to many slides in this show or the show itself may have become corrupted?

I send them out as email attachments
I just did a few more tests with friends and most of them can open them ...!!!???
So-I was a bit hasty ... but still:
why is the security default Properties> Secvurity> "Everyone" gone and replaced with " Authenticated User" ...?
Does this have any implications of clients ability to open?
Are thet new features to prevent theft / manipulation etc?
Thanks

Spry/Slide Show problems from new host

Recently I moved my site from TDS to godaddy. Everything worked well on TDS, now people get 4 error merssages before the site loads through Godaddy. These are:1) SpryPannelSet.js requires SpryWidget.js! Then 2) SpryFadingPanel.js requires SpryPannelSet.js! Then 3) SpryImageSlideShow.js requires Spry Widget.js! Then 4) SpryPanAndZoomPlugin.js requires Spry Immage Slide Show.js! Most of my pages have slide shows downloaded from the widget browser. When I moved the site, I didn't move the site from TDS, I just loaded the site up from my computer. Is there something I can do to allow people to get on my index page without having to click these error messages. My site is www.tailgatershandbook.com.

SpryWidget.js is corrupt. Try re-uploading and if that does not work try linking to the Adobe JS as per

Exporting Slide Show Problems

PSE 8, No audio when creating a slide show

I am unable to create a slide show with audio. All other functions in the slide show function properly but unable to get the audio portion to play. Receive error message "Unable to add audio file, the selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (CODEC) installed." Checked and all the Vista CODEC's are installed & functioning properly. Checked and downloaded the latest CODEC from Realtek for the audio board. No audio recognized within Organizer or from file folders. Went to Adobe Tech. and got brushed off. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

1. I have Windows Media Player 11. It plays my music files which are mostly .MP3 I am unable to locate the Adobe music files using Windows Explorer. May be an indication that they didn't load when the program was installed. I have uninstalled and re-installed PSE 8. from my disc's.
2. I Tunes is my primary player.
3. OS is Vista Home premium
After running around in circles for several days I have tried the following:
1. I opened PRE8 and created a slide show and imported audio file from my music folder. Played OK. Slide show performed OK. I did not locate the included music folder with program.
<edited>
3. In PSE8 I searched with Windows Explorer and could not locate any audio music files. The error message I receive is:
"Unable to add the audio file (C:\Program Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\6.0\usic\A_Taste_Of_Sicily.mp3) The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (codec) installed."
Note that it is searching in PSE6 for the file. I missed that before. I long ago uninstalled PSE6 and PSE 7 was installed in its place and since PSE8.
Now I am suspicious that the music files never loaded with the install of PSE8 and it is searching for music files that no longer exist. Not sure what is corrupted and not sure what else to try. I think I will reload PSE7 and see if I can locate the included audio files and attempt to load a slide show with PSE7.

I am having troubles at the moment to make a slide show...the app closed unexpected. and I can not finish the work, plus, the music is not reproduced...

I am having troubles at the moment of making slide show. specially when I want to chage the parameters. the app get closed. If I do not try to change the paramenters any way he music is not reproduced...I would like to download again the app, maybe it is corrupted...
thanks

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

How do I get an iPhoto slide show onto the web?

Aloha:
I made a slide show in iPhoto 8.0 with 31 pictures and background music. It works great in iPhoto and I can export it to Quicktime 7.3 and it also works great there. The file size is about 119 megs, so I would like to get it on the web for distribution. However, all exports to the web are grayed out. What are my choices?
Thanks
Dan Page

Dan:
You'll have to use a 3rd party application to reduce the size to a more manageable size. Quicktime Pro can reduce the size. VisualHub is another recommended app. I've been looking at Video2SWF, an application to convert the movie files to flash which are a lot smaller.

How can I add comments to an iPhoto slide show that will appear onscreen?

I have put together a slide show on iPhoto (6.0.6) and I'd like to have a line of text appear with several of the slides - things like "Beginning our hike - " and "Closing ceremonies". I haven't been able to find anything in the help to describe how to do that - can it be done? Thanks.

shcram:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There's an AppleScript that will take the contents of the comments field and put them in the Title field so they will display on a slideshow. When you're done you can use the Batch Change menu option to revert the Title to the file names.
