Slideshow export like in 06

Is there any way to export a slideshow to a mov like in iphoto 06???
Why on earth did you apple developers get rid of some handy things and hide them in an automated process (exporting to web gallery or iDVD, and limit it to that). i just want the intermediate file (which will eventually go in an iMovie 06 project).
[off topic]
The more I use 08, the more i want 06 back (and my $$$).
.Mac is too slow to use (more $$$ gone down the drain)
iPhoto 08 likes beachballs - a LOT - and i don't.

There's nowhere in iPhoto 6, except in the slideshow mode itself, where you can set slideshow transitions. The Export to Quicktime for an album of photos relies on Quicktime for the transitions and the only one it uses is the dissolve. If you use the File->Export from the slideshow mode you only get the option to change size, not transitions.
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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. 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.

What is the best way to export a slideshow .I like to show my slideshows via appleTV on my TV

What is the best way to export a slideshow.I like to view the show trough AppleTV on my television.

You don't really give us a lot of information to work with, and assume we know something about this mdeia player. The only way to get the slideshow to a media player is to export it from iPhoto. To where? Depends on the media player. Will iTunes work? Depends on the media player. Does the media player have a DVD drive? If so, then burning it to DVD with iDVD will work, but it will be standard def not HD.

Remove fade in/out from iPhoto slideshow export?

I'm bringing in some pictures from iPhoto and I've had bad luck with photo resolution when I used iMovie to import the picture and apply Ken Burns effects, etc. I've seen some suggestions here to use an iPhoto slideshow export instead.
I have my settings for 1 second slides, no transition and a ken burns effect. I'd like to make an export for each picture, but iPhoto insists on opening the slideshow with a fade in and closing with a fade out. Is there any way to prevent this? I'd like to add the transitions in iMovie instead.
(I realize that the iMovie forum might be a better place for this so forgive the crosspost)

Thanks, I think I'll skip the Ken Burns for now since I've had nothing but problems with it. My issues before were that 1) iMovie would play the images in sequence just fine during playback but at export would mix up the order. 2) The resolution on the pictures was absolutely terrible. I have a new movie now and haven't seen either problem.

Missing metadata after slideshow export

I love to show some metadata - like a description - within exportet JPGs. That way they are visible on any device used to present the pictures. As far as I found out this is only possible by doing a slideshow export (watermarks unfortunately can not pull information out of the metadata fields). But all the exported JPGs are missing all metadata, so I can not even sort them automatically later in other software solutions.
Any idea how I could both show the description field within/under the picture and do not loose all metadata information within the exported files?

Sorry, I misunderstood.
Looks like you cannot have both metadata in EXIF and metadata as text overlays on the image, without using a third-party plugin.

Slideshow Exports are not sharp but fuzzy

Trying Slideshow in A3. Chose Export. Tried the Mobileme/Youtube setting. Uploaded to Youtube - the whole show, the images are like a low quality blurry. It looks the same if I open in iTuns or Quicktime.
SO I tried HD 720. Only slightly better, but bad.
The images are all high quality. Nikon RAW - all processed and when uploaded again via A3 - look prefect on MM.
SO I have tried each setting for SLideshow Export. Each totally unacceptable quality. WHat am I missing. I did put some original music behind it too.

If by MM you mean MobileMe, remember that the displayed resolution of the web.jpg image version used for MobileMe galleries and slideshows is never any better than 1024x1024, regardless of what Actual size you uploaded (or specified as Download size) or the size of your browser window or monitor.
So don't go crazy uploading hi-res versions if you're only going to be displaying them on-line.

Nope -just exported to the desktop to view. Nothing I do, or resolution has always been blurry, fuzzy.

Export with Previous... does not export like previous!

Hello,
I As far as I remenber, "Export with Previous..." always exported like the previous export. Unfortunatly, since some times, this function exports only to my "Full - Tiff8" settings.
Is there any way to fix this settings ?
I am using Lightroom 3.5 on MacOS 10.6.8 64bit.
Thanks for you help

Hello,
Could you please try the following:

4: you get your file exported as 1 tiff and 1 jpeg.
5: delete every exported files
6: right click, context menu: export -> export wit previous
Which file do you get ?
Thanks
1. Selected an image and chose to export it to my desktop as a JPEG.
2. Selected the same image and exported it to my desktop as a TIFF.
3. Using the same image, right-clicked and exported with previous after deleting both images from my desktop. Result was a TIFF image, as expected.
Works for me, not sure what you might be doing wrong or misunderstanding.I have never had a problem with "Export with previous." It is always used the settings that I last configured using the full export dialog. I have been using Lightroom since version 2, am currently using version 4.1.

HT3130 trying to export a 4 minute video to desktop. Only 1:08 seconds exports. I've tried other clips and they all cut at 1:08. Used different exports like Quicktime with the same results.

Good to hear that you've had some success with the import.
I tried 3 times to do it before I finally changed it to H.264, and it worked on the first try. The quality of the compression was terrible with those settings compared to my standard settings, but I'm just glad it worked.
Rather than Share>Export using QuickTime and then choosing your own settings for H.264, you may get a better result if you simply use the Share>Export Movie option. Alternatively, use the Share>Media Browser option (as I mentioned in my earlier post). You will be presented with a range of sizes to choose from. Depending on your target, it's usually best to select the highest size available, such as Large, HD 720p or HD 1080p. However, for producing a DVD it's best to not go beyond the HD 720p size, as the DVD will be downscaled during encoding to Standard Definition in the appropriate size for either PAL or NTSC.
In my experience, both these options (Export Movie or Media Browser) produce a video file of excellent quality. The files will be in H.264 format and will have the file extension .mov or .m4v depending on the size of the export. I'm assuming that your camera records HD video in AVCHD format.
These files work well with iDVD (or other DVD authoring programs). The export process for the presets is optimised by Apple to produce high quality video files at a reasonable file size. So, selecting a preset may give you a much better result. Choosing your own H.264 settings when using the "Export using QuickTime" method could be why "the compression was terrible". You may have selected a data (bit) rate that was too low. There is always a trade-off between quality and file size when compressing video.
So, to summarise, try one of the Apple presets using either Share>Export Movie or Share>Media Browser.

Slideshow Export ends with long black phase

I am exporting a large slideshow from iphoto. The export goes through all the pictures and movies, but after the last one the progress bar is still only halfway completed and from then on shows a black thumbnail picture (or several ongoing) and hardly moves anymore.
Not sure if the export will eventually finish. This did not happen with small slideshow exports that I tested with 4-20 pictures.
Anybody had the same problem? Any suggestions where this is coming from and how to avoid it?

Thanks, I will try that but I've had some bad experiences with imovie, the pictures don't seem to render right and you cant see the expressions on peoples faces.
I can't be the only person who has tried to sync music and pics in iphoto, and yet there is no one else on the discussions commenting on it. I've even read a tutorial about adding a commentary to your photos in iphotos by working out the timing, so it must be possible. Someone put me out of my misery please!

Slideshow export option plugin?

Does anyone know of a plugin to change the format of Slideshow export from mp4 to DVD format? Currently, I am converting the mp4's through DVD Flick, which works fine. It is just antoher step to do. It would be nice to just export it this way.

iMac computer. Yosemite.

IPhoto slideshow export custom button missing

I have been exporting slideshows to QuickTime and since upgrading to '11 and snow leapord, I had a custom button on the slideshow export that is now not there. I can only do the standard export that is an m4v file and only the standard sizes. Anyone know where the button was deactivated?

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.

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.

Slideshow exported to pdf: jagged lines

Although this issue has been brought up before in this forum, it has never been properly answered or resolved. Therefore, I will be pretty precise about the procedure in the hope that knowledgeable people will take a closer look at the issue.
For test purposes on this forum, I make a "slideshow" in LR 2.1 MacBook Pro using one single 10Mpx RAW image that has been pre-rendered 1:1 in Library. For this demonstration, the slideshow has no borders, no text, and 0 pixel margins in layout.
First, I play the slideshow i LR 2.1 so it shows full screen on my 1920x1200 SpectraView monitor, then, to make you see the result, I do a screen shot and then crop the relevant detail from the image, then 'Save for web' jpg to make it web friendly so you can easily see it.
The following image is the relevant detail of the full-screen LR image, namely a car (a very nice beautiful good-looking car, since it happens to be MY car:-)
(http://tmp.bragit.com/slideLR.jpg)
Then, in LR 2.1, I export to pdf, choosing Screen as resolution, which in my case is 1920x1200, at 100% quality, 'automatically show full screen'. Then I open the pdf in Acrobat 8.1.2, which shows it in full screen on my 1920x1200 monitor. Since the monitor matches the chosen resolution, the result SHOULD be at least as good as the way LR "plays" the slideshow, but preferably with some suitable amount of output sharpening.
However, the car in the image now has very ugly jagged lines. To make you see the result, I do again a screen shot and then crop the relevant detail from the image, then 'Save for web' jpg to make it web friendly so you can easily see it. (This jpg sRGB procedure has not affected the visual result of the artifacts in any relevant way.)
The following image is the relevant detail of the pdf-exported full-screen image, namely the car:
(http://tmp.bragit.com/slidePDF.jpg)
It should be pretty obvious that the result is unacceptable. It is not primarily sharpening that causes the jagged behavior, it looks more like a very bad resampling. Many people seem to have reported the same thing, so I wonder how come this hasn't been addressed at all in the last few versions of LR? Or do you really have a workaround?
PS: increasing resolution further (to for instance 3000x2000 pixels) on export does NOT solve the problem; it only makes the artifact somewhat smaller.

As to why I export pdf slideshows: there are three reasons and usages for this:
1. Making relatively small (eg. 900x1440) slideshows to be sent over email to people. For about a year I have noticed the quality is lousy, but I first thought it was because LR did a much too strong sharpening on export, but much later I came to realize that the problem has a much more severe origin. I took for granted that Adobe was trying to do something about it, but obviously not.
2. I can merge several pdf slideshows into one slideshow, so that I can have an Intro Screen at the start of each new "event", where each "event" may be only a few slides.
3. The native quality of slideshows as shown by LightRoom is lousy in deep shadows, just as bad as in the Library module, despite it has been rendered 1:1. It is ONLY in the Develop module that shadows are rendered decently, or on export to jpg, or export to a pdf slideshow (but the latter has other problems as I have shown above). So, to make the shadows better, and to avoid various problems with the Slideshow module (such as starting or stopping on the wrong image), I often export to pdf. In addition, color management can behave differently when displaying the show on a separate monitor or projector, where LR and Acrobat sometimes differ, especially on Plasma screens.
I have discussed the issue of bad shadow rendering before in this forum (long ago), and Jao thought it was due to a corrupt monitor profile, or at least an improper rendering intent, but I don't think so, and I showed screen shots so that everyone could see the effect. Some people only saw an almost black image, but that is because their monitor is bad. I have a very good monitor (SpectraView) that shows almost the entire Adobe RGB, and the profiling makes me able to see colors all the way down into the deepest shadows. Whenever color management is not working as it should, I see that immediately. It is in those shadows that the Library and Slideshow modules do a very bad job. Maybe the reason is that the previews are based on jpg, and jpg itself is extremely bad in shadows, usually causing severe posterizations.

Slideshow Export over QuickTime didn't work

Hi,
today i try after a long time (and first time with iPhoto 8) an export over QuickTime. But the first time ever in my iPhoto history i have a big problem who i can't fix and i didn't found any informations here what i can do.
So... If i create an new album as a slideshow, i can put a lot of images who i like in it. But if o try to export this stuff, it's doesn't work. A short time before the export are finished, iPhoto stop the process without an message and suggest me, that all looks fine. But if i try to locate the file on my Picture/iPhoto Slideshow folder, i see nothing. The QuickTime file is missing.
Than i read, that i can try to export/share the Slideshow with iDVD. I try this, and oh man... I got an QuickTime file in my folder, but iDVD say it's not a movie file.
So i try it again to export another slideshow (my final one) to iDVD to got an QuickTime file but now i see nothing again in the folder. After my second try i got the message, that i didn't have enough space on my HD. The info was right. From 7 GB of free space on my internal HD a few minutes ago i have now only 500 MB free... Where all the space is gone?
I quit iPhoto and got my space back, thanks... But the export still doesn't work really good.
Hey, it's nice to watch pics in iPhoto, but it will be also nice to share some pics as a special slideshow outside from iPhoto.
If anyone have an idea what i can do?
Oh, by the way... After my first steps i try to install iPhoto completely new and i removed all external plugins... But nothing works better.

It could be an issue of a file or folder inside the iPhoto application having it's access turned off to you somehow. It's happened before with certain buttons not showing or working.
Open the application, select, Control-click and select "show package contents". Then look for any item that has a red circle with a "-" in it attached to it. If you do that means you don't have access. Select it and bring up the Info window (Command-I) to change access. If that doesn't work you might have to reinstall the application from the installation disk that came with your Mac or from the iLife disks (whichever is appropriate).

Slideshow Export options and AppleTV

Slideshow options seem a nice way to create a quick video of still/video clips (eg for an AppleTV), but unless I'm missing something Export options seem rather limited.
There isn't enough control over encoding parameters.
My first attempt exporting a mix of photos and video clips (30fps source) using the AppleTV setting failed to sync to AppleTV.
Inspecting the file, resolution was 720p but the reported fps was 28fps. That is too high for AppleTV which officially only handles 24fps at 720p but will usually cope with 25fps. Bitrate was also fairly high, nearly 5Mbps the quoted AppleTV limit for h264.
Now I'm not wild about changing fps for video conversion anyway, but I would like to compare the 720p output vs the '540p' option we often opt for to maintain fps with 30fps source material.
Custom dropdown gives very little in the way of options I can see, and codecs are limited to h264/MPEG4 - people might in some circumstances want to export at full quality to add to projects in other apps with greater editing control.
Any idea if you can export with more customisation of parameters?

Aperture 3.0.3 has an option for iPod size through HD 1080p
As has iPhoto 09
as well as a Custom Export feature, which allows you to choose the Codec
It allows you to choose between 2: Mpeg 4 and h.264. iPhoto can export to anything that QuickTime will support: including - and by no means limited it to - Apple Intermediate, HDV, DV, uncompressed and so on. There are 50 or so codecs I can choose from with iPhoto.
Uploaded with Skitch!
/Frame Rate/Width/Height
As can iPhoto.
As I said, this is odd. You would expect Aperture to have the more options.

TD
