Slideshow BG Messing up

Trying to make a slideshow in iDVD 6 but iDVD keeps messing up my images and is not rendering correctly. There should be one picture at a time, however, it layers 2-3 for each slide. I can't explain it very well and will upload a picture.
http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o6/aus10co/Untitled.png
This is just a minor example, other times, it will have a white noise background rather than the black background and pictures will be distorted in the background. I have no clue what is going on and it is a time sensitive project
Thanks again

You're welcome.
For future reference, you can add the original images (or other files) by using the Edit DVD-ROM command. I do like manual control of slideshows, but usually my slideshows are for a group and so I set and adjust the default durations for the desired effect, to match the music, etc.
Glad it worked out.

  • Burned iDVD project and the slideshow is messed up.

    I made a project and played it on my computer to preview before it was burned and it was fine so I burned it. But when I put it in my DVD player and my Vaio, the slideshow portion of the DVD is messed up. Plus when I put it in my Mac it doesnt even play. There is a green screen where the transition WOULD have been, then one of the pictures comes up, green screen, then another picture, etc. So instead of my transition I have a green screen.
    Also, this is the 2nd DVD I've burned. I changed the transition in the 1st one to see if that would solve the problem but my 2nd one is messed up too. On the first DVD I get weird iDVD images (icons, theme stuff, etc) that pop up randomly on the picture as the transition starts.
    What's up with this?

    Before going any further, give this basic remedy a try. Quit iDVD and delete your iDVD preferences. To do this, go to your username> library> preferences> com.apple.idvd.plist. Delete this file. Then reopen iDVD; it will create a new preference file with all of the default settings.
    Do a verify and repair of permissions using Disk Utility.
    As far as the disk image, I made one but my computer wont even play it.
    Did you use your computer's DVD player? If you cannot find the player, use Spotlight to locate it. Look for "DVD player".
    To view a disk image, first double-click on the icon for your project. Then open your DVD player by double-clicking on the icon in the applications folder. Another way to view the disc image is to open DVD Player in your Applications folder, then use its Open command to select your disc image.
    Besides, I burned the disk image to a DVD and its just a file, not a playable DVD.
    If the disk image does not play properly on your computer's DVD player, then the burned disk also will not work.
    Did you use Disk Utility to burn the disk? A DVD that is burned via the Finder will not work on a standard DVD player.
    For troubleshooting purposes, try to create a project using another account. Create the disk image, and see if you can get it to play. If things work correctly, then the problem lies within your account. If it persists, you might have to do a reinstall of iDVD.
    I hope this helps.

  • Slideshow Captions Messed Up

    Is anyone else having a problem with slideshow captions? The problem is that the captions do not match the picture being displayed when using the classic theme.
    To troubleshoot, I created a brand new user, started iPhoto, and copied in some of the "Fruit" ichat icons. When I play a "classic" slideshow with titles and descriptions displayed, the text is wrong from the start. I have also repaired permissions and confirmed that I have the latest version of iPhoto.
    Does anyone else see this, or should I try to reload the software?

    The recent update to iPhoto (8.0.2) has solved my problem.
    Glad to hear.
    This implies either that the bug was real and the update fixed it (and that the people that tried to help didn't try to replicate the bug, but instead only offered canned advice) or the update inadvertently fixed my problem (maybe some kind of hidden permissions thing).
    So, it was which, a bug? Or a glitch local to your machine? Well, I tried to replicate the problem, and guess what, I simply didn’t have the issue. My captions weren’t messed up. There have been no other reports of the problem on here that I have seen. For those reasos I would suspect a local glitch.
    So how could someone replicate this?

  • Every time I add a photo to a slideshow it messes up my entire slideshow. It puts the pics in a completely different order. What can I do to stop this?

    When using iphoto, every time I add a photo to a slideshow, it rearranges all the photos in the slideshow.  Then I have to go back and put them back in the order that I wanted. What can I do so it doesn't do this?

    Are you using a particular theme?  In the Classic theme when I add a new photo to the mix it ends up at the end of the slideshow or at the farthest right in the thumbnail tray.

    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

  • Slideshow Widget Problem

    Sometimes, the Motorola slideshow widget's buttons quit working. They become grayed out, and I can't change the photo or view a slideshow. This problem occurs almost daily. The only fix I've found is to remove the widget, then place a new one on the panel. I haven't been able to figure out what's causing the problem, either.
    Is this a bug that needs to be fixed in an update, or am I missing something about the widget's functionality?
    Additionally, the UI on other widgets sometimes becomes scrambled (ie, text or buttons are misaligned, or something of that nature), but only the appearance--not the functionality--is affected. Running advanced task killer fixes these problems, but it doesn't do anything when the slideshow widget messes up.

    I have the same problem with the photo widget feature. My photos will change size and shape and not fill up the whole widget box. It has happened everyday on mine too.

  • IDVD 06 gets hung up in encoding the menu

    I created a dvd project and successfully burned it to dvd only to find out that my slideshows were messed up because of the Chapter issue (99 photo limit to a chapter).
    Once I discovered that, I made changes to my slides shows (meaning I added more slide shows but limited each slideshow to 99 photos).
    Now, when I try to burn the project, it gets hung up on encoding the second menu, the menu that has the slideshows on it.
    There are a total of 7 slideshows on the menu.
    The menu itself has no audio on it so that rules out any audio encoding problem.
    I have tried 3 times to burn the project the way it is right now. A total of 28 hours. No success.
    Any thoughts?

    Same here ... I do have some audio but it is passed via Export along with the video to iDVD. Video is encoded but it seems to hang on audio encoding (spinning beach ball). If you let it go for a horrendous amont of time it may get to the burning stage where it just hangs permanently. After eternity you try to cancel and it says Cleaning Up but it never quits the process. I tried with different sizes of iMovie files and it doesn't seem to make any difference.

  • IPhoto slideshow on DVD is a mess!

    I am trying to create a slideshow on DVD for a client. His business is a small newspaper. For an upcoming tradeshow, he wants to have a large display with a slideshow of each page of the paper scrolling across the screen, flipping to the next page, etc. I figured iPhoto would be an excellent tool to do it without much labor, using the Ken Burns effect to pan the full length of each page. It works perfectly on my Mac display and looks great.
    Even the exported video looks OK when I preview it in iDVD.
    However, once it goes to DVD, the visual quality is worthless. I expected serious degradation of text quality since it is only 720 pixels wide. The text isn't as sharp, but it is readable.
    The big problem is that as it scrolls, it looks like the the images pass behind a grid of prisms that refract everything. The disruptive lines are about 1/4 inch apart, so the whole TV screen is a mess, it's impossible to watch. At first I thought it may be an issue with the scan rate of the TV, but the same thing happens when I play the DVD back on my notebook PC and my Mac.
    I set the iDVD preview window and the DVD Player window side by side and played them together. The iDVD preview was fine, the DVD player window gives me a headache.
    What can be causing this, and is there any way to change a setting in iPhoto or iDVD to prevent it?

    What resolution are you using for the slides? I have done several DVDs with slide shows as an option (training DVDs) and it's always worked well. I am using PNG and JPEG files with at least 150dpi resolution. I've even used Contrictor to snap screen shots of some PDF files with good results. I am using a 17" screen so again, I'm getting as much resolution as I can before I stick them into the DVD slide show.

  • Sorting order of pictures from Aperture in an iPod slideshow

    I've recently got a video iPod and have transferred all my photos to it from Aperture. I found that it was necessary to create an album for every project in my Aperture library in order for the projects to show up on the iPod.
    Having got all my projects (as albums) listed on the iPod, I want to be able to view them as slideshows. However, there's been a 'scattering effect' in the sorting of all the pictures in each album: overall, they're broadly in the correct order, but many pictures have been scattered out of the order they're supposed to be in.
    For example, in one particular album, which is of a two-day shoot, the pictures are broadly chronological on the iPod but many pictures are out of sequence. Sometimes they're displaced just a few positions from where they should be. Sometimes they're on completely the wrong day (e.g. a handful of day 1 shots are intermingled with the day 2 pictures). It's easy to see that the ordering is wrong by looking at the 5x5 album preview on the iPod, and of course the slideshow reflects that order.
    My photos are all dated correctly (in terms of Mac datestamp and EXIF image data), and they're named sequentially (in the form "### image name.jpg", where ### is a three-digit number starting from 001). In Aperture, the pictures are set to be ordered by filename, and they do appear in the right order there, but once they've made it across to the iPod they're out of sequence. I can't see any reason for the new iPod ordering: it seems entirely arbitrary, yet it's the same after every synch, and it doesn't correspond to any setting I can make in Aperture as far as I can see.
    My iPod's date setting is correct and the 'shuffle slideshow' option is turned off. (Though I don't think that either fact is relevant - especially not 'shuffle', as the pictures are clearly in the wrong order in the album previews and the slideshow just reflects that ordering.)
    I want and need my pictures to be in their correct numerical/chronological sequence. If they're in the wrong order, the slideshow facility is completely useless. I've seen similar questions asked by other users on this forum, but none has yet received a satisfactory answer.
    Someone, please put me out of my misery and tell me how to make this work as it should!

    Thanks a lot for the answer. But what an absolute pain in the nether regions! The situation as it stands is totally unacceptable, and I really didn't want to have to mess about with iPhoto any more. I bought Aperture to replace iPhoto, not to act as a back-end to it.
    I sincerely hope that Apple will address this issue, and soon. The combination of Aperture and iPod is frankly not fit for purpose. And when you consider that the 'free' software equivalent (iPhoto plus iPod) is just fine, you start to feel a little ripped off.

  • How to keep entire photo library on ext drive and only slideshows on laptop

    I recently did an erase/install upgrade to Tiger on my g4 powerbook laptop. My previous iPhoto 4 library is safely backed up on an external drive. I would like to keep the entire library on that drive and import new photos only to that drive and edit on that drive. I would like to have a second iPhoto library on my laptop that only contains slideshows that I have created on the external drive. I received mixed opinions at the genius bar: One guy told me that I would end up with a big mess and another guy told me it would be straightforward and easy.
    So this is what I think I need to do:
    1. Open iPhoto '08 on my powerbook (it wants to upgrade the library even though there is nothing currently in it. Is it OK to let it upgrade?)
    2. Open it again while holding alt/option and ask it to create a new iPhoto library on the external drive (should I name it something unique?).
    3. Drag my backed-up iPhoto library folder (its contents) into the new iPhoto library on the external drive (I imagine it will want to update them as well).
    4. When I want to move a slideshow over to my laptop, export a copy of the slideshow to a laptop desktop folder (so it sends copies only) and then move them into my laptop iPhoto library (I have no idea whether the slideshow order and settings would be preserved).
    I hope my thinking is right and would appreciate any comments or suggestions?
    I am concerned that when I connect my camera to my laptop, it will want to open the laptop iPhoto library and import there instead of to the external drive library. How do I get the pics from my camera to the external drive library?
    Again, thanks!

    rbfactor:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Regarding Step 3: do not import the old library into the new one. You'll get the modified files as regular files and lose your keywords, tiles, albums, slideshows, etc.
    What I would do is put your full library on the external HD. Then create a new library on your PB. In the primary library create an album with the pictures you want for the sideshow. Then use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager tocopy that album from the external HD library to your PB library. Unfortunately you cannot copy over the slideshow settings or the music used. You'll have to have your iTunes library on the PB and set the slideshow settings once your have the photos on the PB.
    The alternative is to export the slideshow as a QT file and copy that to the PB and run with QT player.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger 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.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Are you seeing a colour shift in 720p and 1080p h.264 slideshow exports?

    When I export video from Lightroom 3 (or 3.2), I see that 720p and 1080p output can be very different in colour from other resolutions. It's as if my display profile were being ignored when playing back those particular resolutions.
    Playback client: Apple's QuickTime Player X on Mac OS X 10.6.4. If I use VLC or QuickTime Player 7, colour is consistent across all export resolutions but is consistently wrong compared with the original photographs. (Again, it's as if the ICC display profile is being ignored.)
    Display profile: my display is profiled and the profile is an ICC v4 file but I can reproduce the issue with some v2 profiles, as well.
    AVC vs h.264
    One oddity (that might be a peculiarity of QuickTime Player) is that when I view the 720p and 1080p movies, and ask for information about codecs (command-i), QuickTime Player X tells me that these two movies use AVC encoding. For all the other sizes, it says claims h.264. My understanding is that these two are effectively the same thing; on the other hand, it's curious that the two sizes showing different colour from the rest are identified differently. And QuickTime Player 7 claims AVC for all resolutions and always gets the colour wrong.
    Is this just a QuickTime Player X bug? It gets colour right for all resolutions except 720p and 1080p, and provides a clue by saying the movie uses the AVC codec? Or is this an encoding issue?
    Other sizes are fine
    Exporting and playing back any other h.264 movie size, from 320 pixels right up to 960 pixels, provides perfectly acceptable colour in QuickTime Player X .There's a slight shift compared with the originals but nothing dramatic, and it's consistent across different sizes.
    Any thoughts? Can you reproduce the problem?
    I've tested this on a bunch of different Macs but they're all running 10.6.4.  Can anyone see this problem? Would anyone like to test on Windows and report back? The results seem to vary wildly depending on your display profile and how far it is from a canned profile so if you really want to be sure of seeing the differences, switch your display to "Wide Gamut RGB" for the playback test, then compare the 720p/1080p files with the rest, including the sRGB reference.
    Would anyone like to tell me I'm being a complete idiot and overlooking something blindingly obvious? I won't be upset.
    I was just about to post a note on the blog but thought I'd better post something here first. I'll probably ask readers to provide feedback here rather than on the site. I get the feeling that this issue won't be a big deal for most people.
    Some examples for download
    I have a zipped collection of single-image slideshows generated by Lightroom at each available resolution, together with a 960-pixel JPEG (sRGB) of that same image to act as a reference. You can download it here (5.9MB). For the moment, you'll probably have to ignore the URL that you see in the slideshows and in the Read Me file—it points to the blog post that I was preparing but which I haven't yet published. I'll do that next so anyone reading the blog will come here and post.
    Thanks in advance, and apologies if I'm being dumb about something.
    Update
    I've added a 720x480 file that shows the same problem and updated the URLs shown in the movies and the Read Me file.
    Message was edited by: Bahi Para

    Bahi,
    just to illustrate what mess this is, I tested for you on Leopard (10.5) and Snow Leopard (10.6) using the same wide gamut monitor. Here are two screenshots from that experiment. I converted the screenshots from my display profile to sRGB to show you what I see and scaled down 50% (this is a 30" behemoth). First Leopard.
    You see they are all the same, but different from the sRGB export you provided. The GB sticker is too blue and the tint on the car is wrong. I doubt anybody but a photographer would notice though.
    Next is Snow Leopard:
    Here the 320 pixel, the 480 pixel and the 960 pixel image are different from the 720 pixel, the 720p and the 1080p ones. Neither is strictly correct as they are all different from the sRGB display. This is consistent with their being no real color management, just gamma corrections and color space transforms (video is usually not stored as RGB but as YUV, necessitating a transform for display). Annoying, but not much you can do about it.
    Just doing some quick googling I came across many mentions of issues such as this. It clearly is just a big mess.

  • I had completed my iDVD project and burned a disc. It worked great! Then someone messed with the project and put a red frame around the opening screen. Now when I burn the project, it no longer has the opening frame. How can I fix?

    I had completed my iDVD project, a Wedding Slideshow with pictures and music, and burned it on a disc. It worked great! Then someone messed with the original project on my computer and clicked around and put a red frame around the opening screen that has the Wedding theme with music. Now when I burn the project to make more DVDs, it burns but no longer has the opening frame. It immediately opens to the iMovie slideshow. How can I fix so I can burn the entire project with opening frames?

    As Bengt suggested make a disk image of the successfully burned DVD using Disk Utility. Then you can burn copies any time you need one.
    In the future once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    You can then burn it to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • QUESTION:  In Elements 12, how do I join together separate slideshows into a single integrated alideshow?

    QUESTION:  In Elements 12, how do I join together separate slideshows into a single integrated alideshow?

    I hate to say this, but there is no way to put 1280X720 footage on a 1920X1080 sequence and upscale it to match the frame size without losing some quality. Basically, you are asking Premiere Pro to provide new pixels that were not in the original video. That is seldom a really good idea. You might want to try investing in program designed to upscale video. I have never used this, but there is a free trial, so give it a shot: http://www.infognition.com/VideoEnhancer/
    Of course, it all depends on the content. Try it with Premiere Pro. Only you can judge. However, you might need to consider putting all of your 1920X1080 on a 1280X720 sequence instead, and just produce your video at that size.
    Or, once again, this depends on the content, put some sort of frame around the smaller footage, either a blurred out version of the upscaled footage - lots of TV stations do this with 4:3 footage on a HD program, or purposefully make it even a little smaller, or crop it, and use parts of the same video in Picture-In-Picture. You have seen this before. A person talking on the phone in a larger frame to the left, and on the right a closeup of the mouth, or maybe a clip of the person they are talking to. Or use some B-Roll in the PiP.
    Get imaginative, because you already know that you messed up, so perhaps make it look like you did it on purpose.

  • I have a mess and can't locate originals?

    I have a mess on my hands. After an attempt to back up old files from two laptops, I ended up dumping any photos I could get my hands on into a new iPhoto album. I told myself I would sort it out later. Ugh! Now, when I look into it I find all sorts of duplicate files and files with no name, just numbers, and general confusion.
    The problem is I cannot find where the originals are. I know the general location - on an external firewire drive, within the library name. But it is so full of folders with cryptic names and numbers that its impossible for me to go into each and every one. This spans at least six years.
    What I am looking for is a simple option to "show picture in finder." Or something like that. Can anyone advise?
    Thanks

    Noodle-head:
    You can Control-click on thumbnail in iPhoto and select Show File from the Contextual Menu. That will take you to the folder via the Finder where the file is located. However, do not delete or move them via the Finder because that will mess up the library and it's database. For a way to cull out some of the unwanted files see the following.
    What version of iPhoto are you running? If it's iPhoto 6 then the original files should be located in the iPhoto Library/Originals folder and it's subfolders.
    Are some of the photos you see in iPhoto small in pixel size, like 360 x 270 or so? If so then those are thumbnail files from the libraries that got imported as regular files. If that's the case, I suggest you start over with a new library as follows:
    1 - move the Originals folder from the iPHoto Library folder to the top level of your external HD (if that's where you ultimately want your new library to be).
    2 - Open the Originals folder and type Command-F.
    3 - set the search criteria to the following:
    Type = Image
    Size is less than 100KB
    4 - select the files found and drag to the Trash. Don't empty.
    5 - launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, opt to create a new library. Name the library and save it to the external HD.
    6 - drag the Originals folder on the external HD into the open iPhoto window.
    This culls out the small thumbnail files that were imported originally as regular files and imports the remaining full sized image files into the new library.
    Next you can run Duplicate Annihilator or iPhoto Diet to remove the duplicates that they are able to detect. There will be some that you may have to do by hand.
    There is a way to find similar file, image wise, and remove those that you don't want by running iView MediaPro on the Originals folder before importing into the new library. if you're interested in how, post back and I'll layout the workflow.
    Do you Twango?

  • Open picture files and display in fullscreen slideshow?

    I'm hoping for some help as I'm very new to LabView and quite lost....
    I have a directory with many picture files (too many to put them all in
    a powerpoint slideshow) and i want to open them one by one and display
    them full screen with no border around them (not in a picture box, but
    as displayed in a powerpoint slideshow). 
    I'm trying to use activeX to call the default "Preview" application for
    windows, (which is able to run a slideshow when opened manually from
    the directory).  In the LabView VI, when the slideshow runs, it
    takes over the full screen, as it should, however, the images are not
    shown.  The screen says "no preview available".  I've messed
    around with it a lot and just can't get it to work. 
    Any other application or any other way of displaying the images full
    screen would be acceptable, if you know of any.  I've also tried
    the adobe acrobat browser 7.0, which has a full screen option, but i
    can't seem to get that one to work either.  Attached is a copy of
    my code.
    Any help or advice would be much appreciated.  Thanx.

    The easiest would be to set the window not to have toolbars, scrollbars, etc. and to fill the entire screen and to scale all objects with the windows (these can be found in 2 pages of the File>>VI Properties dialog). If you resize your FP so your picture indicators fills it before doing this then any resizing of the window will resize the indicator as well. You can then use the Zoom property to enlarge the picture. To calculate how much to zoom you can divide the size of the picture by the Application>>Display>>Primary Workspace property.
    Another option would be to use property nodes to change the Draw Area Size of the picture to fill the screen and to resize the picture itself using something similar to the method demonstrated here.
    Try to take over the world!
