Slide Show questions

First Question:
I have images I'd like to add to a slide show that are smaller than my display.
When I start my slide show they are stretched to fit, and the quality diminishes considerably. Is there a way to keep the pixel ratio stable so that they don't automatically fit the monitor size?
Second Question:
Is there a way to display a slide show while storing my photos on a separate HD or CD? In other words, everytime I try to create a slide show in iPhotos it copies the images onto my HD. Can I prevent that, and run the slides from the original location?

Hi Paul,
There's actually a feature in Tiger, outside of iPhoto, that can solve both of those problems.
I'll start with your second question:
If you have a CD, or second HD with a bunch of photos, simply select the images in the Finder and right-click (control-click) on them. In the resulting contextual menu, you'll see "Slideshow". It's not as full featured as iPhoto (no music or timing tools), but it does a really solid job. Just like in an iPhoto slideshow, when you move the mouse, it will display an overlay control at the bottom of the screen- this is where your first question can be answered.
One of the buttons is "Actual Size", which will shrink or expand the image accordingly.

So, if you have a small image, it will bring it back down to the original resolution. Why this and iPhoto don't share the same overlay controls is beyond me.
Hope that helps.

Slide Show question

Hi
I intend to buy FCP 5 to make multimedia presentations including a lot of slide shows and a bit of video.
One objective is to create a very hi-res movie (1600 x 1200 px) for projection from hard drive or dvd-computer. The other products are normal dvd to play on normal & hd tv.
My concerns are that I cannot test the product before buying and I am not sure FCP is the best choice to do the job.
My special requirements are :
- movie on 1600 x 1200 px screen / multimedia projector (projected on up to 24 sq m screen)
- slide shows with perfectly smooth transition effects
- pan across huge panorama (> 10000 px wide)
- zoom in/out 6000 x 4000 px image to detail in sub-window
- easy way to add images without re-calculating whole movie
- total duration of presentation 45 min (may-be linking separate movies to avoid huge file size of final movie)
- digital video in subwindow of max size of video
Is FCP the best choice and what else do I need to know?
Paul

This is the Final Express forum. Try on FCP, but I believe your image sizes will exceed the resolution capabilities of FCP.

Newbie Slide Show Question - Flash 8

This is my first Flash slide show, and I am just lost. Here
it is:
https://michael-von-krenner.com/Slideshow/slideshow.fla
Obviously I am missing a few things to make this happen like
it
should, and I can't figure out what I've done wrong. Here are
my issues:
1. Why won't it automatically go from slide to slide? (There
are
nine and you can go from one to the other with the arrow keys
just fine.)
2. Why won't it go back to the first slide when it's done,
which is
what I specified using the Behavior panel?
3. These aren't that important for this slide show, but why
won't the
"Next" and "Previous" buttons stay on the screen?
If anyone can help me, I'd really appreciate it.

I'm doing a project for someone and they asked me to make a photo gallery that has two arrows on both sides which they user can click to scroll from previous to next but has the ability to click on the photo and make it larger.
also they want captions on each photo. I've heard of lightbox2 but I would like to make the image slider first, then use lightbox2 or something that will make the image pop out. also i would like to use captions for each photo. i want the gallery to be horizontal scroll. Thanks!

Question about Aperture slide shows

Question about Aperture slide shows. How can I eliminate banding in a blue sky when photos are displayed in Aperture Slide shows?

What kind of banding? Do you have a screenshot?
It could be jpg compression related, I think the previews are all jpgs.

Full Screen Photos In Slide Show & Other Questions

Hi - I'm using Premiere Elements 4. I have a few questions since I'm new to using the program. First of all, how do I get the photos to take up the whole screen (instead of showing a black border) when they are played back? They were taken on a 7.2 megapixel camera at the maximum quality setting. Also, the resolution is bad when it's played back but fine when you see the preview of the photos in the program. I've seen other posts about needing to change the resolution but I was wondering if I got the photos to play full screen if that might fix my problem because I can play the photos as a slide show in the Windows Photo Gallery Program and the resolution is perfect and the photos take up the whole screen.
Secondly, how do I delete a menu from the Disc Menus Section? Also, how would I delete the "Scene Selection" button from the menu screen that I want to keep? I want to be able to have a menu with just a "play all" button.
Thanks for your help.

The only way to remove Scene Menu button from Disc Menus is to physically remove it from the template by editing it (They're PSD files) in Photoshop Elements.
As for photos, DO NOT use photos from that 7.2 megapixel camera at full resolution, niagara. It's a sure recipe for disaster. RAther, per the FAQs at the top of this forum, rez those photos all down to no larger than 1000x750 pixels in size.
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bb8822c
That done, you can get your photos to fill your screen one of two ways:
a) Leave the Default to Frame Size option checked in your preferences. The only case in which this won't work is if you're using 4:3 photos in a 16:9 widescreen project.
b) If this is the case, go to Edit/Preferences and uncheck Default to Frame Size BEFORE you import that photos into your project. (It won't work if you do it after.) Then, after placing each photo on your timeline, right-click on each, select Show Properties and, in Properties, open Motion and set Scale to 85%. Note that, because your photos and the widescreen have different aspect ratios, you will lose some of the vertical off the tops and bottoms of your photos.
There are many more ways to do it -- but it all depends on what you're trying to accomplish.

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?

Blue question marks for slide shows buttons.

Good day iWeb list,
All of a sudden the Play/Pause, Back and Forward buttons for my slide shows have turned into a generic looking blue question marks.
I noticed one other user having a similar issue a while back, and I believe the remedy was to re-publish the entire site. I've tried that to no avail. Resetting cache has not affect as well.
Any thoughts?
You can witness this issue by going to my web site below and then click on the "Woodworking" page to view the slide show.

Thanks as usual, Gramps.

Gramps-
I've noticed that safari 4 sometimes does the ? thing with images... almost like it doesn't finish loading sometimes. Not sure if it's provider traffic or safari related but it can be annoying.

Reading the older questions, is there a way in which the full screen slide shows can be saved and/or exported?

Reading the older questions, is there a way in which a full screen slide show (such as places or geotagged photo's) can be saved and/or exported for viewing by another party?

Yes. Just export the slideshow and select your preferred output size.

Quiz Retake Button - Only Show Question Slides

I currently have courses with quiz question slides at different places throughout.
Example:
Slide 1
Slide 2
Quiz Question 1
Slide 4
Slide 5
Slide 6
Slide 7
Quiz Question 2
Slide 8
Slide 9
Quiz Question 3
etc...
I have the Retake Quiz button on the results slide if a user fails the quiz. Is there any way to have the Retake Quiz button show ONLY the Quiz Questions slides, not the content slides in between? Currently, when the user clicks the Retake Quiz button, it directs them to the first quiz slide (Quiz Question 1), but after answering, the course continues to the content slides (Slide 4, Slide 5, etc...) before it reaches the next quiz question. Since the quiz slides are not directly consecutive, can the Review Quiz button be programmed to only show quiz question slides?

Hi there,
You can do this using advanced actions and user variables.
you can create your own variable and apply a default value of 0.
On exiting the normal slide assign that variable with the value of 1 or if you have a button on that slide then you can apply action on that button.
and on enter of the slide you can apply a conditional action.
to check the value of that variable if it is equal to 1 then go to next slide, else continue.
Please check the forum thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5156629
Thanks.

Wmv to be play on a mac question; MS Photostory3 slide show usability

There was a woman who posted this note... and before I could answer, somebody set the note to "answered" so I couldn't reply. It was certainly not answered. The text was:
My son's school has started using Microsoft's Photostory3 to convert school event images into slide shows. As Photostory3 apparently uses an Image codec, Flip4Mac can't run the resulting wmv file. Craig on the Telestream forum says, 'Nothing on the Mac can play Image or Screen codec.' I can't see another save option on the staff member's pc that would allow any other save format. Does anyone know if there is an easy (and free?) software they could use that would be cross platform?
My answer is: It's true you cannot play a wmv file on a mac. A workaround is to use a free converter to convert it to a usable format, for example a Quicktime movie which has the extension .mov
One such converter is called FLV CRUNCH. google for it and give it a try. Good Luck!
N

If the person has an up to date system, they probably have the flip4mac plug-in, which allows macs to play most WMV files. Older macs may or may not have WMP. If they don't have it, I'm not sure you can still download it-Microsoft has stopped issuing it and recommends flip4mac instead. You will aslo find a fairly substantial number of mac folks who will not do Windows media under any circumstances whatsoever, I'm afraid.
All macs can play QT files, but again, if you want to use H264, the person would need to have a fairly recent version of QT installed.
A potential problem is that macs last a long time, so there are still many people using the old OS 9 operating system from 8 or nine years ago, and apple stopped issuing updates for that system a long time ago. Also, there are some WMV codecs that have never been released for anything but windows.

Question: I need to make an InDesign CS5 slide show

I need to make an InDesign CS5 slide show that loops. Adobe says this is possible, but I don't understand how to do it in a loop and without button activation. (In other words, it should be activated "on loading." Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Mrs. Fooj,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The person who created the slideshow for you in iMovie could burn additional DVD's for you, or export the iMovie project to iTunes to create the file you need.
iMovie '11: Use your movie in GarageBand or other Apple applications
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2281?viewlocale=en_US
And this information is from the iMovie Help menu in the application:
To send your project to iTunes:
Select a project in the Project Library, and then choose Share > iTunes.
Select one or more movie sizes to render from the table of options.
Click Publish.
Rendering can take up to several minutes depending on the size of your movie and whether you’re rendering several sizes at once. After the project has finished rendering, iTunes opens automatically.
Depending on how you plan to use the shared project, do any of the following:In iTunes, click Movies (below Library) to see your movie and broadcast it through Apple TV or sync it to iPod, iPhone, or iPad.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Slide show in Flash question

http://www.88barranch.com/home.html
There is a Flash slide show on this page, and I'd like to
make a similar one on my web site. I have Flash MX 2004, but am not
very good at it. I wondered if anyone could tell if the slide show
at
http://www.88barranch.com/home.html
was made in Flash by hand, or if there's a plugin or separate
program that made the show, which runs in Flash.
Thanks!

PS I also have Dreamweaver and the other programs that come
in Web Premium CS3, purchased just under a year ago.

Flash Slide Show Presentation Question

I have created a slide show presentation in Flash format. On
some of my slides, I have animations that run when the slide first
loads. However, as I do not want the animation to continue looping
preventing the viewer from reading the slide, I used actionscript
to place a stop action at the end of the slide animation.
The problem is that if the user uses the previous button in
the slide show to return to the slide the animation does not run.
It will only run again if the entire slide show is restarted. Is
there a simple way to fix this?
Thanks

The steps are fairly simple. I create a listener ,a loader
and an empty movie clip to load the images into. I write a
listener_mc.onLoadInit function then I use the loader_mc.loadClip
to load the images into the empty movieclip. When the loading is
complete the onLoadInit function gets called and you can resize and
center your images.
