Slide show out of Finder, pictures in disorder

"hey, let's what the pictures on your big iMac screen!",
and so we attached the USB sticks filled with pictures from a PC notebook: the files appear, the "ICON-Preview" was perfect, just to press <apple-A> and start the slide show from the finder window! Oops! The slide show didn't follow the the correct order by the file name. Pretty messy because 3 events were mixed.
Later on I copied all files on the Mac HD and tried again, but same result. I found a "workaround" (I hate workarounds!!): When I started from the Finder-Window-MultipleColum-Mode then the slide show followed the selected by-file order.
Anything else I missed or I can do better?

Your use of Column View is the only solution I've seen for this problem.
I use the freeware Mike’s Thumbnailer @ http://homepage.mac.com/mdewalt/iWeb/Site/Home.html for slide shows. It also has a feature where you can add music to the slide show.

  • PSE 9 Organizer Slide show can't find the slide show project files after moving from XP to Windows 7

    A bad computer virus forced us to move all our files and programs from XP to Windows 7.  The PSE Editor seems to be working properly, but the Organizer Slide Show can't find the project files.  The structure of each of the 15 slide shows (blank slides) is there and any text I had added, but the pictures and music are missing.  Our computer Tech is not too familiar with PSE and may not have the files in the right spot.  Evidently XP and Windows 7 are organized a little differently and use different names.  He still has all the PSE files from our old hard drive in a folder and probably just needs to know where to put them.         

    +Windows Vista has different file locations than Windows XP+
    This is the problem - the iTunes ITL file from XP is using XP paths, which don't exist in Vista. Here are some directions that have worked for others:
    - Copy your entire iTunes folder --- not just the iTunes Music folder but basically everything under "My Documents" - to external storage
    - Copy those files to your "Music" folder on your Vista system. The end result should be that you have "Documents\Music\iTunes" on Vista, where you had "My Documents\My Music\iTunes" on XP
    - Put a fresh install of iTunes on the Vista system.
    - When you run iTunes for the first time, hold down the Shift key. If it asks you to select a library file, pick the one you just transferred over.
    - The end result should be your library, including all ratings, play counts and play lists, sitting on the new system.

    iMovie 08 will only import files that contain codecs that it can edit. It will generally import audio and video codecs that iPhoto generates. However, if your iPhoto slideshow contains a manual advance track, iMovie cannot edit this and therefore will not import. In iPhoto, check to see if you can do a timed advance rather than a manual advance. Then it should import.

    Strangely the images show as previews in some folders, yet not in others, even though they come from the same sources (my camera and my phone).

  • Can I create an iDVD slide show and keep the picture resolution high so the pictures will be HDTV quality or near HDTV quality for playback on a DVD player?

    How do I create an iDVD slide show that does not compress the photos making them low-res? When I insert the iDVD I have made into a DVD player connected to an HDTV, the playback quality of the pictures are very low.  Is there a way to correct this when creatinf the iDVD?

  • How to make slide show out of photos

    I have about 60 .jpg's I like to make into a slide presentation. What I would like to be able to do is give a friend/relative a disk and all they would have to do it....well, nothing. I'd like it to open on my image number 1. I would like the image to stay on the screen until it's manually advanced by "clicking" on it or on and "advance" button. It seems like it should probably be easy, but I can't figure it out. I'm not adverse to using third party software. I want the images to be as clear as possible. Am using OS X Maverick with 32 GB of ram.
    Thanks in advance.

    There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto (see this:  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2423 ), iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
    If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
    Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
    http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
    (Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico:  http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
    Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
    Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie  as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast,  for burning.
    You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!

  • PSE 7 Strips Out Slide Show Music

    I have created a PSE 7 slide show of about 150 pictures.  I have included a music track as background while the slides play.  I full screen preview the slide show and all is good -- I can also save and go out of PSE 7 then go back in and open the slide show and re-preview and all is still good.  I then select to output the slide show to DVD and let PSE and Premier run their standard course to get to a burned DVD.  All is good, no errors, and the process completes ending in a burned DVD.
    Problem is that near the beginning of the process, when PSE 7 creates the .wmv file, it strips out the music track for the slide show.  I know this is where the problem occurs because I have gone in and played the .wmv file in Windows Media Player and the slides are fine but no music.
    I have done the exact same thing with only 6 slides and music is in fact included.  The burned DVD of that small slide show plays fine and with music.
    What is going on???  Does making a slide show with 150 pictures push the limits of what PSE 7 can handle, even though I get no error messages???
    Thanks!

    PSE slide show has some issues with high resolution images. Please reduce the size of the image 1000 x 700 and create/burn DVD.

  • 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.

  • Slide Show ERROR, Internal software\Vobulator\BlockPlanner\.cpp Line 217

    I'm putting together a slide show DVD. There are a total of 7 slide shows containing 480 pictures. All pictures are jpg's about 1000X1600 pixels and 500KB-700KB each. I have 3 menus for navigation. Not all of the chapter menu buttons point to a "slide show", some of them point to a picture inside certain slide shows according to my client's requests. (example, slide show 1 contains 70 pictures. Chapter 1 points to "slide show 1" Chapter 2 points to "slide show 1 photo 50"). All slide shows are linked so that when the first slide show is over, it will automatically "end action" to the next slide show etc... All my settings are typical. NTSC 4:3 SD 720X480 progressive. 
    There are NO video files in my DVD at all. No timelines at all. No audio at all.
    The Symptoms/problem that I'm getting is this, when I try to Preview my DVD and ALSO when I try to build my DVD, the build will go through and "build the slide shows" then after it does that, this will come up
    I've read some of the previous posts (one of them is in French for cryin out loud. Had to use Bing translator and it sounds all weird). What I can gather is this,
    Re: internal software error: .\Vobulator\BlockPlanner\BlockPlanner.cpp, line 217
    I found out it was due to selecting an image file as the video layer
    in a menu, causes the error everytime. I just paste the image in with
    'edit in photoshop' instead now. But thanks."
    Another person said just about the same thing... The only problem is, I have no idea what this means. I don't know what it means to "select an image file as the video layer in a menu..."
    Hardware/software is as follows:
    custom build:
    i5 processor (4 core) 2.6ghz
    8 GB RAM 1333MHz
    300GB C: drive (2X150 GB 10K RPM Raptors)

    If I'm leaving anything out, please let me know.
    HELP! and Thanks. I'd really love to fix this without rebuilding the whole DVD. Take long time.

  • Best way to create slide shows in PE4 and PSE 6

    What's the best way to create a fancy slide show in PE 4 and PSE 6? I need to create a slide show of about 600 pictures. I'm on Windows XP with 3gb RAM. I've done this a few years ago in earlier versions of PE and PSE. Before i plunge into this again i wanted to get some overall guidance for what to do or not do.
    My ultimate goal is to create a slide show that:
    1. uses pan and zoom on every photo
    2. transitions between every photo
    3. has an audio track
    4. has some nice special effects -- words and graphics that appear on slide at precisely the right moment to match the song, and stay on the screen as one slide transitions to another. i want the text to be able to move and fade in and out.
    My view is that it's easy to accomplish #1-3 in PSE 6; it's quite simple to create a slide show, add pan and zoom, and transitions. However, #4 is not doable because adding text and graphics can only be done on a slide at a time and only when the slide start/stops (i.e., you can't have text appear 2 secs after the slide has started displaying and stay on screen while the next slide appears). Need PE 4 to do that.
    What i'm wondering is:
    -- is it best to create the basic slide show in PSE6 and then export to PE 4 to do the final fancy stuff, or is it best to just create the show in PE4? Seems that doing the pans, zooms, and transitions are easiest in PSE 6.

    eric,
    I am going to offer some reasons NOT to start this slide show in Photoshop Elements. This is despite the fact that I have used the workflow of starting in Photoshop Elements and used the Send Slideshow to Premiere Elements in PSE5 - PE 3 and PSE7 - PE7.
    1- Timing differences between the PSE and PE slide show construction and processing
    There are many differences in timing between the two products. Transitions can start/end slightly offset from their timing in PSE once they arrive and are processed in PE. Same for pan and zoom. Does this matter? Well the more precise your timing, the more potential for a show stopper.
    Example: one person who wanted continual motion using pan and zoom needed to go modify the transition positioning and the keyframing of the pan/zooms on every single slide after sending a slideshow from PSE to PRE.
    2- your requirement to
    "words and graphics that appear on slide at precisely the right moment to match the song, and stay on the screen as one slide transitions to another. i want the text to be able to move and fade in and out."
    You can't really sync the audio to a slide in PSE. The text can't move or fade in/out. I think that it will be more grief to retrofit these functions to a slide show that was created in PSE than it will be to do the all the work in Premiere Elements.
    3- "Add the sound track for the ENTIRE slide show (this will be longer than i currently have slides for because i don't have all the photos"
    I am suspicious that adding the ENTIRE sound track in one PSE slide show will not work.
    I have done multiple sends from PSE slide show editor to Premiere Elements. However, I decided on the approach of using no audio in the PSE slideshow editor and adding Audio in Premiere Elements AFTER sending all the slide shows.
    Again, your objective of syncing specific photos to music points is good artistically - but I am concerned that it will make your PSE to PRE workflow problematic.
    4- "as new photos arrive, do the arrangement/pans/zooms in PSE and move them to PE"
    As Steve mentioned when you do subsequent sends of the slideshow, it appends to the end - does not seem to fit your objective of replacing part of the middle.
    Also if you get new photos in for the second section of the slideshow - but over in Premiere Elements you had already made other changes in the second section. There is no function to combine new changes doen in PSE and changes done in PE for that same "section" of the slideshow.
    5- you did not say whether you will be outputting this slide show in Full Screen or Widescreen format. Will you be burning a DVD? If you will be doing widescreen output, additional problems with specifying pan/zoom in PSE have been identified on various forums because the PSE pan/zoom boxes are not widescreen aspect ratio.
    Conclusion:
    Some of my comments here are definitely subjective - however, it is my overall conclusion that your objectives and work plan are not a good fit for the Photoshop Elements slide show editor to Premiere Elements workflow.
    My perspective on the Photoshop Elements slide show editor is that it is designed to simple, quick and easy. Therefore it has limitations.

  • Videos in slide shows

    I have Photoshop Elements 6.  I have some photos and videos I took this summer and I am trying to make a "slide show" using both the pictures and the videos.  Can this be done, and if so, how?

    I want to thank you for your time and trouble in helping me figure this out.  Barb_O from the Adobe Forum suggested I try changing the length of the viewing time but that did not work.  smriti from the Adobe Forum suggested I select the photos and video in the organizer, then select the Create Tab, then select the slideshow from the list.  Then smriti said "In the slideshow window that opens you can output the slideshow as wmv or pdf."  However I don't get the option on how to "output" it.  I get the message "The slideshowsupports only Photos, Photo Projects Formats and Windows Media compatible video files.  Your selection includes items of other types, which will be skipped."
    This summer I took both of my grandchildren on vacation and of course I took pictures and videos of the trips.  Now I am trying to make a "slideshow/video" of our vacation, copy it on to a DVD and give it to them for Christmas.
    Someone where my husband works suggested downloading Apple Quick Time, which we tried without any luck.  I tried to send the video back to my card so I could try and down load it again and try to change it to a wmv, but that didn't work either as I couldn't get it on my card.
    I used a Canon PowerShot SX10IS camera.  I have Windows Vista, and Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 and Adobe Premiere Elements 4.  I have no idea what a codec is.  My videos end in .mov.
    Although I would prefer on long photo - video - photo slideshow in chronological order of our vacation I'm thinking my only two choices are either to run one then the other OR several little ones, start a small slide show, when it ends do a video, then another slide show and so on till they are all on the DVD.
    I am open to any other suggestions you may have that might help.
    Thanks

    Subject: Videos in slide shows
    1. The support of video files in Organizer and slideshow depends upon the codecs installed on the system. If the supported video codecs are installed the files are displayed and played properly in Organizer and slideshow Editor.
    2. If the default slideshow duration is shorter than the duration of the video, the video does not get truncated if the supported codecs are installed. I verified in E6 where the slide duration was set to 2 secs and the video duration was 14 sec and the video did not get trunated in the slideshow.

  • Blu-Ray slide show photo rotation

    I am making Blu-Ray slide shows using Premier Elements 11 from albums created in Elements 11.  In the finished slide shows many of the pictures are not correctly rotated.  The compiler is pulling the original photo from My Pictures and not from the album; the photos were correctly rotated in the albums.  Is there a fix for this?  Is the only solution to go through 5,000 photos in My Pictures and rotate the photos that were taken vertically?

    Do a search, and you'll see lots of issues with Encore Bluray slideshows. I do not know what the formula may be for success. I do not use them.
    Yes, a plain slideshow has one mts per slide. A slideshow with transition but no zoom/pan has one per slide and one per transition. A slideshow with transition and zoom/pan has one per slide with the full duration per mts.
    A variety of quality issues have been reported, but I don't recall the color flashes issue. I get what looks very similar to me.
    I recommend doing the slideshow in Premiere, and just having no control for the user. One person reported making a chapter point for each slide, and that allowed some advance.
    You can get a clean slide using no transitions and no pan/zoom; H264 for project settings (used for slideshows) is the recommendation when Mpeg results in poor slideshow quality.

  • IPhoto crashes when creating a new slide show

    iPhoto immediately crashes, when I try to create a new slide show.
    I have already tried to create a completely new library, but happens just the same: I want to create a new slide show (with only some pictures), and then the program crashes and I must kill it via "force quit".
    I also de-installed iPhoto and then installed it again. No change at all. The program chrashes when I try to create a new slide show.
    Any idea what could help?

    It looks like there's something in your account that's the culprit.  It could be a preference file other than iPhoto's.  Here's how to test that:

    2 - open your Home/Library folder and Option-drag (copy) the Preferences folder to the Desktop. 
    3 - select the contents of your Home/Library/Preferences folder and drag them into the Trash bin in the Dock.  You will be asked to provide your Admin password.
    4 - reboot.
    5 - run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed
    6 - If the problem is fixed:
