Slideshow Editing

Is there a way to edit the layout of the photos in a slideshow while using the "Reflections" theme?  For example, I would like 2 photos instead of 3 to show on screen.

Only by making a duplicate and using it in the slide show - silde shows are albums that reference photos in events so any changes made to any album (including slide shows) changes the real photo (in the event)

  • New Mac/APE 12 user Used to have Cyberlink Powerdirector 9 for video/slideshow editing.  HELP!

    I have recently purchased APE 12 to help with editing a slideshow.  Previously I used Cyberlink Powerdirector 9 on my PC.  At this point I am very disappointed in the money I spent.  There is so much less I can do with the structure of the slideshow.  My questions are to see if I am missing something. 
    1)  On PowerDirector I had several options on the type of slideshow I wanted, movement, scrapbook, photo album, 3-D and more, I only see the option for Pan and Zoom on APE 12 and even that is hard to figure out.  Am I missing something?
    2) Am I understanding that once I put a still image on the Timeline I can only change the duration one image at a time?  Is there any way to select a group of images to edit?
    3) I may have this one figured out, after searching and reading a lot, but Is there an easy way to fade out volume to make transitions smooth?  I have had success, but more failure and struggle to find out what is working.
    4) Why does APE 12 move stuff if I add something on another track?  Can I lock the video track so it won't do that?
    Thanks a bunch!!

    Premiere Elements can help you create a slideshow with numerous effects, including pan and zoom,  but it is a video editor rather than a slideshow generator. It is not going to give you choices of slideshows. But, I guess you could look at the Instant Movie Feature as sort of a counterpart of what you were using previously.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/using/instant-movies.html
    If your program is on Windows, you have slideshow opportunities in the Elements Organizer as well as the Premiere Elements workspace. On Mac, there is no slideshow feature in the Elements Organizer as there is the Windows counterpart.
    If you are in the Expert workspace, you can change the duration of more than one clip at a time - See Time Stretch Tool after you select (altogether) the clips whose duration is to be changed.
    And, there is no lock track feature. On Windows, one holds down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard as an addition is made to the Timeline so has not to disturb the content already there.
    Click the More on the Transition Adjustments pop up. Also look to the transition alignment and duration in relation to the duration of the clips involved.
    Also consider that you will be running into several Windows Only features.
    Please review and consider.
    Thank you.

  • Problem Scaling Individual Photos in Slideshow Edit Mode

    I've stumbled upon a bizarre problem while building a slideshow in iPhoto '08:
    I'm trying to scale the images (i.e. manually assign custom Ken Burns start and end states, or just resize individual slides) using the slider at the bottom right of the application interface, and the images do not scale in real time like they do elsewhere in the app. When I move the slider, the entire image shrinks to fit the screen, and stays that way until I release the mouse button, at which time the image springs back to the new size.
    Anyone else notice this?
    It's quite irritating, since it takes a lot of guesswork and clicking to dial in the size I want. This only happens in the slideshow editor. Everywhere else (calendar and book layout, thumbnail display size, etc.), moving the slider causes the images to scale in real time.

    Veggeep:
    Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. It's amazing what a bad pref file can affect. Worth a try.
    You might also go into your User/Library/Caches folder and empty the iPhoto folder.
    Happy Holidays
    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.

  • Slideshow editing in Iphoto

    I want to make a slideshow in Iphoto 08' and change some of the pictures to look different in the slideshow from the original picture. But i don't want them to change in the Main library. For example: I rotated a picture in the slideshow and it rotated it in the event too I don't want this to happen. Is there any way to edit the pictures in just the slideshow and not in the event.

    Only by making a duplicate and using it in the slide show - silde shows are albums that reference photos in events so any changes made to any album (including slide shows) changes the real photo (in the event)

  • Slideshow editing using different apps

    Love iDVD slide show edit capabilities, because it provides a picture number to 'slides' and a larger view of slides to allow easy movement of slides ordering with in a project. However, I dislike the known problem of 99 slide maximum, which creates a short audio drop out after being burned. 
    I understand that I can create the same slide show iMovie OR iPhoto, which I have tried.  I do not like the limited view of slides and movement of slides within a project using iPhoto as an example, because it is much more time consuming.
    Is there a way to export iDVD pictures (slides) edited in a desired order out of iDVD and into iPhoto where I can then added desired iTunes playlist of audio and then re-import this new Shared project back into iDVD (getting past the 99 slide limitation) as a movie or the like????

    There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, 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!
    To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

  • Photo Slideshow editing

    I have loaded all of my photos into iMovie with the intention of creating a slideshow. I have music chosen and I have ordered the photos in the way I would like them. So now the slideshow plays, but in rough format.
    However, the one thing I can't seem to figure out is how to change the focal point for the ken burns effect on each photo. How do I zoom in on a specific point on the photo that is not the center? Like a face or something?

    Hi Ambopheric - welcome to the forum!
    In the photos pane, firstly set the start zoom amount with the slider, then for the end, set the desired zoom, and click and drag the image in the small preview screen to wherever you want it.

  • DVD, slideshow, editing, maker

    hey everyone
    Has anyone ever had to make a DVD slideshow before?
    What programs are out there?
    I have been asked to create a slideshow of images (possibly some video). I have currently downloaded 'imagination' from the AUR it is quite ok, it is very simple and easy like described but dosn't have as much control as i want. After a little playing around I don't think it is possible to control audio tracks very well, insert videos, or export directly to a DVD (or ISO). I have also tried bombono-dvd but it dosn't really do what i want.
    I want to know if anyone has any experience, or knows any other programs that are worth looking at.
    cheers,
    marno

    You have several possibilities.
    I use openshot, kdenlive, then you can export them to the file you want.

  • Iphoto slideshow editing

    I wish to create a slide show using all the available photos taken. In my case 1000 photos. I then would like to "tag" the photos that I do not wish to show. Is this possible? A system as described is used in Powerpoint. This avods the need to move photos in and out of a separate folder which can be confusing and time consuming. Help please

    In a word, no.
    If you want to do this you can try PhotoToMovie (http://www.lqgraphics.com) I've had some success with it.

  • Photos rotate in Slideshow

    I imported a batch of photos from my Canon camera into iPhoto. Some are vertical, others are horizontal. When I view them in the library or an album they are oriented correctly. I created a slideshow from them and when I view the photos in the photobrowser at the top of the slideshow edit page they are also oriented correctly.
    However...
    when I play the slideshow, the vertical photos are rotated to a horizontal position. What's going on? And is there an easy way to fix it? I have a LOT of vertical photos. I noticed I can go through each one and rotate it so it shows up horizontal in the photo browser, but then displays correctly during the slideshow. That seems crazy. If they look vertical in the photobrowser, then they ought to look the same way when the slideshow is played.

    This has happened to me also - ONLY after upgrading to iLife '06. My camara is a Sony and doesn't have the option for auto-rotation enabled (doubt it even has such an option). I import into iPhoto '06 and manually rotate my profile images to their correct orientation. Playing the slideshow reveals them in landscape once more. If I use the rotation controls within the slideshow, this can be corrected - BUT if I close the slideshow and go back to iPhoto '06, the once correctly-oriented (before the slideshow) images now appear in landscape - in the OPPOSITE direction of their originally-imported landscape direction. So it looks like iPhoto '06 image orientation is not being relayed correctly to the slideshow.
    Additionally, my settings for slideshow to NOT have music playing is not saved no matter how many times I revisit that option and click save after unchecking the "play music" box.
    Looking forward to iLife '06.01!

  • Removing photo from slideshow

    Sorry if this is a common question, but a search found no answers...
    How the heck do you remove a photo from a slideshow? Easy enough to add photos, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to remove one.
    The Edit->Cut item appears enabled, but doesn't actually do anything.
    thanks,

    In the slideshow editing window, if you select the thumbnail and hit the delete key, it removes the photo. You can also remove it within the slideshow - while it's playing - by clicking the trash icon in the slideshow controls.

  • Does anyone know why this appears in slideshow?

    When I click slideshow on my iWeb built web site, an icon of 3 rectangles with question marks
    appears for a few moments then fades away. How do I get rid of it? What is it

    You have to upload the graphic files to the root folder of your hosting account and make sure you've linked to them properly. If you changed the extension of the  iWPopUpSlideshow.js to .txt then remove the .txt extension and replace it with .js.  For existing slideshows you can copy the edited iWPopUpSlideshow.js  file and use it to replace the same file in each of your existing sites.
    For future websites and slideshows edit the iWPopUpSlideshow.js file that is inside the iWeb application.

  • Photoshop Elements 13 Slideshow Editor Sucks

    I just upgraded from version 11 and I am VERY, VERY disappointed with the slideshow editing capability.  I've been a loyal PSE user for many years and have loved the creative control with the slideshow editor.  Version 13's slideshows are pitiful.  There is no way to add pan and zoom individually, can't add music and fit to slides, can't add blank slides and text for titles, can't change transition effects, etc.  What were the developers thinking?  Can I downgrade to version 12?  I purchased the software at Best Buy.

    I am getting extremely frustrated with Adobe  ---- one more time.   My slide show in 13 does not function beyond allowing me to select a theme.  Once selected, nothing happens other than returning me to the organizer screen.  I spent a wasted hour on Adobe chat  being informed that they are only trained for download issues and essentially know nothing about slideshows in 13
    So with no help.... I will have to give up the slideshow functionality unless someone with knowledge can reply here to get it working.   I believe it worked a month ago when I first tried it   but now it has nothing .... no preview nada.  .    Looks like I am out of luck.

  • Encore CS4's Slideshow component= WORTHLESS

    Hi,
    When I create slideshows in Adobe Encore CS4 and then build them, they look "fine" when played on a computer DVD player.
    However, when playing the authored DVD on an actual DVD player attached to a TV, the playback is cropped, images come out extremely dark, and each song flickers at the start of the slideshow.
    I've done a lot more testing of building slideshows in Adobe Encore CS4, before I came to this realization:
    ADOBE ENCORE CS4 IS FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR WAYS OFF FROM BEING READY FOR PRODUCTION USE FOR SLIDESHOWS. DO NOT USE ADOBE ENCORE CS4 FOR ANY SORT OF ACTUAL PRODUCTION USE FOR SLIDESHOWS.
    I am extremely frustrated how obvious that there was absolutely no quality assurance testing with Adobe Encore CS4. When you use Adobe Encore CS4, the whole feel of using the software is that it was totally rushed out the door at about 55% complete.
    My top complaints:
    -When importing multiple images to the Encore library, occasional images do not get imported at all(WTF???????????????)
    -images that are imported to the Encore library occasionally LOSE THEIR ORIGINAL ASSET when saving, closing, then re-opening a project.
    -Encore CS4 slows down literally, exponentially, as you add a lot of images to the library. At about 500 images of about 3-4 megs each, my Core 2 Quad with 6 gigs of ram slows to a crawl.
    -when in the slow state, Adobe Encore CS4 crashes randomly (and this slow state is when most of the slideshow editing needs to get done)
    -authored playback is cropped
    -authored playback comes out extremely dark on DVD players
    -99 slide limit, which is overcome by dividing the slideshow into two slideshows, but.. there is a long and awkward pause when shifting between two slideshows during playback
    Using Adobe Encore CS4 for slideshows is gauranteed to leave an extremely bad user experience and some loss of respect for Adobe.
    I have no choice but to learn what other DVD slideshow building software is out there. So far, Nero, and even Windows Movie Maker, which comes free with windows seems better than Adobe Encore CS4, in terms of building slideshows.

    I've been using Adobe Encore CS4 to author Blu-Ray discs with slideshows on my iMac.  I've found a solution that seems to work well.  But I don't use the Encore slideshow editor for this purpose.
    When I import high-quality 16:9 JPEG photos directly into Encore and build a slideshow using the Encore slideshow editor, the results are terrible when viewed on a big-screen HDTV connected to a Blu-Ray player.  The colors seem off, and the resolution is horrible.  There are all sorts of jagged edges and other artifacts.  A slideshow on a standard-definition DVD built using iPhoto and iDVD looks much better than a "high-definition" Blu-Ray slideshow built using the Encore CS4 slideshow feature.
    A better solution is to simply build the slideshow in iPhoto, cropping the individual photos to 16:9 (or using the 16:9 setting on your digital still camera, if it has one), and export the iPhoto slideshow as a high-definition QuickTime movie file (*.mov).  You will have to play around a bit to find the option in iPhoto that allows custom export settings, but once you find it you can encode the entire slideshow using the H.264 codec with full 1920 x 1080 resolution.  Then you can import the resulting *.mov file into Encore as an asset, then create a timeline for it.  You basically treat it like a movie in Encore.  The final result looks great on my 1080p TV.  Breathtaking, in fact.
    Encore CS4 for Mac seems to have lots of bugs in it.  For example, I just downloaded the latest update yesterday (I think it was 4.0.1).  Now, whenever I try to build a Blu-Ray project, I get an error message, no matter what I do.  Even if I start a new project from scratch.  So I had to use Apple Time Machine to restore the previous version of Encore (4.0.0.258), which works fine.
    Another bug is that you can't change the title of an HD menu in Encore.  Encore has a very limited number of HD menus.  If you want to change the title of an HD menu from the generic one provided ("Our Travel Diaries", for example) to your own title ("Our 2009 Summer Vacation", for example), you can't do it in Encore.  Well, maybe YOU can.  But I can't figure out how to do it.  So I export the menu to Photoshop Elements, change the text there, and re-import it into Encore.  You can change the titles of buttons directly in Encore.  But not the actual menu title.
    Also, Encore has caused trouble for me when I try burning Blu-Ray rewritable discs.  So I simply use Encore to create a *.iso image file, then burn it using Roxio Toast 10 Titanium.
    Anyway, with these various workarounds, I'm finally able to create high-quality Blu-Ray discs with movies and slideshows that look great on my 60-inch Sony SXRD 1080p TV.
    It's a shame that somebody doesn't produce a simple interlocking suite of consumer-grade Mac-compatible tools that can be used for the entire HD workflow from camera to Blu-Ray disc, similar to the way in which iMovie, iPhoto, and iDVD work for standard-definition DVDs.  Apparently, the latest version of Adobe Premiere Elements for Windows does this sort of thing.  But there's nothing equivalent for the Mac.  And Apple still seems to be dragging its feet with regard to Blu-Ray.
    Some people have expressed the opinion that it's OK for Encore CS4 to include a slideshow editor that's essentially useless.  I tend to disagree.  Any significant feature that gets added to a piece of software and that's advertised as being useful ought to work at least reasonably well.  But then my background is in the hardware industry, not the software industry.  In hardware, even a minor glitch can cost a company millions of dollars in lost revenue, recalls, loss of customer confidence, etc.  Software designers, by contrast, seem to be able to get away with a degree of sloppiness that would quickly bankrupt a company in the hardware world.
    However, I'm at least grateful that by using Encore CS4 in conjunction with Final Cut Pro, Compressor, iPhoto, Photoshop Elements, and Toast, I'm able to produce a very nice Blu-Ray disc that provides jaw-dropping picture and sound quality for movies and slideshows.

  • Help! Magic iDVD slideshow controls instantly vanish

    I’m working with Magic iDVD & trying to figure out how one actually controls the:
    1. slideshow volume
    2. slideshow duration's
    3. and also how one would adjust the transition type (page flip, droplet, etc.)
    I actually see how to do this BUT the adjustment preview windows simply doesn’t stay visible long enough to address any actual adjustment.
    In fact the controls are only visible for a split second only immediately after I hit the preview button and nothing on the menu bar seems to allow for these controls to become visible until one finishes making all the necessary adjustment. However I was able to see (or rather take a quick peek) at these controls in the preview window after hitting the preview button on the bottom left corner of the window.... but like I said only for a split second.
    These controls vanish so quickly that I can’t even capture a quick screen shot of them on the computer however I was able to take a snapshot with my digital camera. Here are the controls that are visible but only for a split second apparently. My question is ... How do I make these controls stay visible until I finish addressing all the necessary adjustments without it vanishing first?

    You are doing something wrong. I just tried 'Magic iDVD' and everything worked fine.
    You must, however, recognize that the photo 'wells' in the Magic iDVD set up page are NOT for individual images! Each 'well' is a slideshow. Drag all the images for one slideshow into the same 'well'. Then drag the audio for that slideshow into the same 'well'.
    After you have entered all the elements you want to use, hit the 'Create Project' button at the lower right. This will create the actual iDVD 6 project you can edit further (as you would with a 'normal' iDVD project).
    BTW, I don't understand your screen shot. You have the map view slideshow edit screen and the Preview Control 'Remote' on the same screenshot. You can't edit the slideshow in the Preview mode. Go into the map view, select the slideshow you want to edit and double-click on it to open it in the edit mode.

  • Slideshow Failure

    I'm on a Mac G5, Leopard, 2.5 GIGS ram, LR2 working with RAW files. I have a 65 image slideshow, edited in LR and one in PS3. I have music. The first time I ran through the slideshow, it made it all the way to the end with no problem. Subsequent times, after making modifications to many images, it would stop going thru to the end. Most of the time, not even half way through. Music would play, but it would return to the beginning slide. I shut down, rebooted, and ran the s.s. again. Same result. Music goes on, but the slides do not. What do I need to do, and where do I need to look? Thanks in advance!

    I have this same problem as above. It has happened when showing clients their portraits. Very embarrasing to the point that I am looking for another way to show a slide show of images. It has happened in all previous versions of Lightroom and has not seemed to be fixed yet. I will try 2.1 and see if that helps. I have tried the rendering 1:1 fix and it still did it, although not as often. This "fix" takes forever too do as well. It has usually happened after I have swithched the orders of the slideshow images. This seems to be what triggers it. Hopefully it gets fixed. Any other solutions?
