Slide show from QT file- skips!

Hello,
I know Im in iDVD6, but want to know if someone experienced the same problem, or if my problem is corrected in idvd6.
I exported a slide show in iP4 with about 600 photos in a QT file. I then put the that file into iDVD 4. But when I play the DVD in a commmercial DVD player, the photos "skip" between every transition/photos.
iP4, when exporting to QT, has its own default disolve transition between each slide, so there's no way to change that. I have in the past exported slide show to QT and imported to iDVD and played without any problem.
Anyone has experienced this problem and has a solution??
The slide show inidvd 6, may not be restricted to 99 photos anymore, but does it repeat the same song over an over? Cuz 600 photos sometimes require 5-6 songs..not to bore the audience!
an Apple store Genius told me it had to do with the way the file was exported in QT. Tried other format, but to no avail...
Thanks in advance about your replies!

John,
I've used for 2-3 yrs a variation of what you suggested.
I exported a QT file #1 with a sequence of say 120 pics with one song, then trimmed the end so it ends with music. Then exported another sequence of photo as QT file #2, with another song.... etc
Then with QT pro, I joined all the different QT files #1, #2, etc (which had already their own songs imbedded into), used the copy and paste, then did a save as "self contained" file et voila I have an entire QT file slide show with more than 99 pics with multiple songs. It plays great onto the computer, but on a DVD and player...it skips!
The reason I like using ip4, is because the newer version of iP5 and 6, export to QT creating a much bigger file size (short of saying humongous) One of the reason, is because when using KB effect, it create a 30 frames per second just like IMovie does, hence making the file reallly big. The old iPhoto 4, exports only one jpg per photo, and reference to the first frame to display the subsequent frame, untill the next photo. So say for example, 2 sec in iPhoto5, would require 60 different separate frames/photos (of the same pic slightly different from one another- to create the KB effect). But in iP4, QT uses the photo once, and for frame 2 to 60 (2sec) , it only references to the first frame..... therefore keeping the file size small...... this way you can put more Slide show on a DVD.
Anyway I've sidetracked a little....
any other suggestions?

A How To: Create a Widescreen High Definition Slide Show from the Organizer

[EDIT] I just tried another one and, weirdly, that produced an output with black bars around all four sides! So maybe this 'how to' is not 100%. I have considered deleting the post altogether but, as it does still produce a superior slideshow quality file than the standard ones provided with Elements, I've decided to leave it with this edit added at the top for additional info.[END_EDIT]
In answering a question in another forum I found a nice quick way to create proper widescreen high definition slide shows from just the Elements Organizer. Apologies if this is 'old news' to readers, but I've not seen this described elsewhere so I thought I'd share it.
The Organizer Slide Show creator, if not wanting to edit in PRE, provides a small set of Windows Media Player profiles to create .wmv files. But the best of these goes only to 1024x768 (a 4:3 monitor resolution setting). I've noticed, but never paid much attention to, that at the bottom of the Slide Size box there is a 'Browse for more' option that lets you search for additional Windows Media Encoder profiles. Investigation showed me that I can download the Windows Media Encoder software from Microsoft and create my own profiles. But even further investigation showed me that someone had already done this! I've tested their full HD profile and it works just fine (1920x1080).
So if you are just after a straightforward slide show (i.e. not needing PRE features) but want it displayed on your Full HD TV set here is what you do:
Download the HD Profiles from http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/236895-hd-profiles-for-windows-movie-maker/. There's also a couple of useful SD sizes there as well. Save them somewhere you can easily find them.
Create your slide show in the Organizer. Obviously use appropriately sized images for HD. There's little point outputting an HD wmv file using low resolution and/or 4:3 aspect ratio images.
Save and Output your slide show.
In the output dialog ('Save As a File') scroll down to the bottom of Slide Size and select 'Browse for more ...'.
Browse to the file you downloaded in step 1 and click Open.
Click OK and your Widescreen HD .wmv file is prepared.
Here's a Gspot analysis of my test output file. As you can see it is an HD file with a 16:9, square pixel, aspect ratio.
Ta Da!
Cheers,
Neale

You did not mention a specific Premiere Elements Elements Organizer combo for this, so for now I will address this from the version 11, not Windows Movie Maker, perspective if I need to get version specific.
.prx
The Browse for More is a well known route and does offer at least one Adobe profile for 1280 x 720 16:9. I am not sure where you came up with the lesser resolution,1024 x 768 that you mentioned. The Windows Media profiles have existed for several versions of Elements Organizer. Those Adobe ones that you do not see under Output Save As A File Movie (.wmv), can be found in the Windows 7 or 8 64 bit path
Local Disc C
Profile Files (x86)
Adobe
Elements 11 Organizer
Assets
Locale
en_US
tv_profiles
in the tv_profiles Folder are included the .prx files
.....10. 640 x 480 Enhanced Definitions
.....12. 852 x 480 Widescreen Enhanced Definition
.....14 1280 x 720 Widescreen High Definition
A homemade 1920 x 1080 16:9 30 frames per second .prx has long been sought but not that easily produced by many using with the Windows Media Encoder Editor. Apparently you have found one online, and it does get accepted into the Premiere Elements 11 Browse for More choices. And, if you do a gspot readout for the wmv output from Elements Organizer 11, it will display all the "right" properties that you hoped for and that are shown in your screenshot.
The bottom line, why bother with the wmv slideshow? If you take your original photos and size them for 1920 x 1080 16:9, use them in the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor (Crops used in preferences), use the Edit with Premiere Elements Editor command, what you get in Premiere Elements 11 is full and good in all regard. Have you tried it?
I can see your interest if this is HD going to HD (AVCHD on DVD or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc, but I do not see this for an Elements Organizer Slideshow that is going to DVD-VIDEO widescreen.
More later.

How do I move Elements 8 projects (slide shows) from a Windows XP computer to new Windows 7 computer that also has Elements 8 on it so that the slides shows will work (Elements 8 works well on the Windows 7 computer & I have done several new slide show projects on it)? I tried backup & restore without success. I have also found the .psess files and copied them to the catalog in the new computer but when the sides shows are opened none of the images or music is there. Only the text that I entered shows. I have even tried to replicate the file paths from the XP computer to the new computer to see if that will help.

UPDATE: By a stroke of luck I happened to find a catalog link (a PSE8D file) in the 'My Catalog' file where the imported data was stored. When I clicked on it to investigate what is was 'magically' all of my transferred projects appeared in Organizer. Upon further investigation I found that the projects transferred from my XP computer were stored in a hidden catalog that had to be accessed through the Custom Location option in Catalog Manager (accessed by clicking File then Catalog then Custom Location). No Windows or Elements search revealed this fact. I am appreciative that I just got lucky. The Adode/Photoshop company was absolutely of no help. If fact to me their structure is designed to avoid contact with their customers unless you're buying a new product. Their products have many good features (even though user unfriendly) and it's a shame they don't value their customers more once the sale is completed.
Bottom line: All of the projects (sideshows) have been recovered and work in my new Windows 7 computer. I hope my experience helps others.

Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive. If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
-Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
-Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down. You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
-Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes. Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked. You can close Preferences now.
-Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library. iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
Shouldn't have any more problems...

After burning a slide show, I get a skip in audio

After burning a slide show, II get a skip in the audio about every 5 min. of run time. I imported the pictures from i photo and the music from an itunes play list. When I play the entire thing in preview it runs fine with no problems, but after burning to a dvd, I get a skip every 5 min. I burned to hp DVD-R (16x) and Memorex DVD-R (16x). Still the skip. I have burned to Best preformance, High Quality and Professional Quality. I have even slowed the burn time to 4x. Still the skip. I noticed the bar at the bottom of the screen always reads 5 min. for the audio duration and when it goes back to 0 is when it skips. The run time when I put the cursor on the audio well reads the correct 3min:35sec.

SlideShow function in iDVD - is limited to 99 photos per show.
Creating the SlideShow in iMovie HD6 or FinalCut - doesn't limit this but offers 100% control over process (audio and transitions)
Using iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - will degrade picture quality as they only deliver every second line over to iDVD.
I never use "Share to iDVD" in any iMovie version.
• iMovie up to HD6 - Just close it and import movie project from within iDVD
• iMovie'08 to 11 - "Share to Media Browser" and as Large (not HD) will give as good quality as they can do

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.
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.
I've written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I have 15000 photos in my 1Phooto library in 58 events. I have also made 27 slide shows from some of these events. When opening iPhoto, the photoscome up slmost instantly but the side bar seems to take forever to come up. Is there s limit to the amount of photos yu can have or to the amount if items in the side bar?

Try this basic troubleshooting technique: 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 - reboot
4 - 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.

Slide Show from iPhoto to iDVD

How do I transfer a slide show from iPhoto to iDVD? I like the effects in the show make in iPhoto, and I don't see anything comparable in iDVD. Thanks.

Export the slideshow to QT and then add the QT movie file to an iDVD slideshow. This will scale the movie file to the TV safe area like it does with still photos avoiding the approx. 10% image loss due to TV overscan on older TV set.
Another slideshow application to consider is PhotoPresenter which offers over 25 animated themes, some of which are demostrated here.

Will I be able to up load video slide shows from Elements to Revel?

Please let me know if I will be able to up load video slide shows from Elements to Revel? I currently enjoy photoshop.com because I can share photo albums and video slide shows from Elements with my family. I am worried because I don't see any home page or tool bar on my new Revel account. It's like there's nothing there?? Am I missing something?
Help !!! Robert [edited out phone number to protect user's privacy] USA Please call me, I can't find any phone number for me to call for customer service.
Thanks !

Currently, Revel supports jpg files only. We are adding many enhancements so this may change in the future. Reading some of our FAQ's might be helpful for you to get some more information, so I will include some here for you. Only version 11 of elements has connectivity with Revel, but you can upload files from your computer as well.

How to copy slide show from adobe photoshop 10 to sd card

How to copy slide show from adobe photoshop elements 10 onto sd card for picture frame

Do you mean a digital photo frame? If so You probably need jpeg files, PSE only outputs the slideshow as a wmv or PDF file. But you can use File >> Export As New
Then make some copy jpegs and copy or drag them to the SD card.

You don't.
Slideshows are exported as movies and these are very large files. Email is not an appropriate medium for very large files as they can cause immense issues for the receiver.
Better to share some other way.

Adding music to a slide show from Itunes

How do i add music to a slide show from itunes? When i go into the Itunes folder I get all the way to where the music file should be and it says there are no files found.

Hi Rodney,
Here's what you do.
When you click on music and the window opens, click on your library then look at the bottom of the window where you will see a small clear dot - click and drag this up and voila - there's the music.
A very annoying feature that iPhoto hides this section by default.

Help! I thought I was pretty good setting up slide shows and adding music. I'm trying to make a new slide show from a great trip to New York. I can get theme music but no music at all from iTunes. Checking my older slide shows, which did play music!

Help! I thought I was pretty good setting up slide shows and adding music. I'm trying to make a new slide show from a great trip to New York. I can get theme music but no music at all from iTunes. Checking my older slide shows, which did play music, it's all gone!
Problem seems to have started after updating to Mavericks.
Is there a box I need to check/uncheck?
Any help very welcome!

Hopefully you've seen the post from Terence Devlin? I've pasted it below.
In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.
Pity Apple didn't either warn us or set up a bug fix!

When I transfer a slide show from elements to Premier Elements, many slides are rotated.

Why do my slides rotate 90 degrees when I transfer the slide show from Elements (9) to Premier Elements (12)

BERLARKER
Thanks for the follow up with additional information.
Elements Organizer 12 Premiere Elements 12 Editor
Bottom line: I suspect that you have stressed out the system with too many photos oversized for the project settings. But let us explore the situation to confirm or refute that first impression.
Details:
If you have a 44 minute slideshow and photos each with 5 second duration, then my guess-estimate would be that your slideshow has about 528 photo with pixel dimension of 3264 x 2448 (4:3) or 2448 x 3264 (3:4).
First concern, too many photos with pixel dimensions oversized for the project....you may have to resize your photos not to exceed 1000 x 750 4:3.
When you output this slideshow from the Elements Organizer 12 Slideshow Editor, you cannot use both "Edit with Premiere Elements Editor" and "Save As a File MOV (wmv):".
For now I will assume that you are using "Edit with Premiere Elements Editor".
Unless you are setting the Premiere Elements 12 Editor project preset manually, you are ending up with the wrong project preset
The Premiere Elements 12 Editor project preset is probably its default NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 (a 16:9 project preset) instead of NTSC DV Standard (a 4:3 project preset). .
If all my assumptions are correct, then
1. In the Elements Organizer 12, create your slideshow with your 528 photos each with pixel dimensions not to exceed 1000 x 750 (could go higher if you can do so without jeopardizing the workflow...but, no matter how high the resolution, the end product will reflect the resolution of the export format, 720 x 480).
You are going to output the slideshow using Edit with Premiere Elements Editor.
2. Before you hit the Edit with Premiere Elements Editor choice in Elements Organizer 12 Output, open Premiere Elements 12 Editor Expert workspace, and set the project preset manually to NTSC DV Standard.
File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings
In Change Settings, change the project preset to NTSC DV Standard
OK out of that area.
In the new project dialog that appears, make sure that you have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Settings on this Project".
OK out of that area.
Minimize Premiere Elements Editor.
3. Open the Elements Organizer 12 again, and hit Edit with Premiere Elements Editor.
Premiere Elements 12 Editor will open...you will see a folder for slideshow assets and a video file for your slideshow in Project Assets...on the
Timeline you should see your slideshow in the video format. If you want to do further significant edits of the Timeline content which is now in
a whole video format, right click that Timeline content and select Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow.
Please review and consider. Perhaps do some mini test runs to define your situation further.
We will be watching for your results. If any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.
