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).

  • Keynote slideshow exported to Quicktime not working on PC

    (Sorry if this gets long) ... I'm responsible for creating slideshow presentations (w/ various slide times)
    that loop  continuously before my company's monthly meetings.
    Process:
    1) create a keynote presentation w/ various slide times
    2) record a slideshow
    3) export the slideshow to Quicktime video
    4) view the video on the company PC
    This process worked fine before this weeks upgrades.
    The video runs  in a very erratic manner...some slides are way too long, some slides are skipped, etc.
    PLEASE HELP ... my November presentation is due this week.
    Created with: Yosemite / Keynote 6.5
    Viewed with: PC / XP OS ... VLC Player

    I haven't seen this, but I don't do a lot of video exporting. My first guess would be that the files may be larger than the prior files... attempting to play at a higher bitrate and the PC is choking on them. Can you compare against a prior exported .mp4 file to determine if the bit rate is any different? Also, make sure that VLC hasn't been updated either.

  • Slideshow Exported to QuickTime Won't Play Music

    I also posted this to the QuickTime forum, since I wasn't sure where it quite fit.
    I created a slideshow using my iPhoto 5.0.4 then exported it to a movie as Quicktime, with music. It plays beautifully on my machine. I burned it to a CD and sent it to someone with the identical Mac (a PowerBook G4) and he couldn't play it on his SAME version of QuickTime. As he explained it, his Apple kept sending him to iTunes to search for the music, which it claimed it couldn't find even in the Music Store (odd, since I bought the music from my Music Store).
    Similarly, another person trying to view the same iPhoto-created Quicktime movie on a PC (using a CD I'd burned), using a freshly downloaded of version of Quicktime, reported that the slideshow played but with NO music.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
    Anne

    HI anne,
    It's a shame isn't it, but purchased music in a slideshow will do this.
    You have to be smart and work around the limitation.
    burn the song or an entire playlist while you are at it to CD. Import the CD back into iTunes. Now sort by date in iTunes so you can find the newly imported songs without the DRM. Name them so you know hey are the DRM-less tunes. Use that song with your slideshow to export.

  • Can't get Movie Exported in Quicktime format to work in iWeb and Website

    Help!! I just completed a movie in iMovie and exported it in Quicktime Format. It loads into iWeb seamlessly, and I can view it in iweb, but once I save the files to a folder and then the folder to my host (Godaddy, for what it is worth) I get the Blue Quicktime Q with the question mark in the middle. I have downloadd the movie in different sizes, from as much as 19 Mb down to 4.5 Mb and it is all the same. It is for a real estate listing I have. For what it is worth. I created my first website in iweb 1.0 and imovie 06 (http:www.1055Prince.info) and it works great. I created my second website with iweb 2.0 and imovie 08 (http:www.1045Prince.info) and it will not work. I like the design of the 2.0 template better, but I like the fact that the 1.0 template is working flawlessly. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    iWeb writes very clever page code and your page had a very common error.
    http://www.1045prince.info/VideoTour_files/VideoTour.js is a file created by iWeb that points to your QuickTime file.
    If you use the Finder to edit the name prior to Publishing in iWeb things will be just fine and the link will work as designed. Do not edit any file name before uploading to your server and make sure your files use "Web safe" naming schemes (no spaces, punctuation or illegal characters) and the proper file extension.

  • How can I cancel a subscription to Adobe Export PDF which didn't work for my application?

    I purchased Adobe Export PDF because I needed to convert an incoming Pdf file to word.  It is the only time I would ever use this program....  The conversion did not work because there was handwriting on the document (which I understand would negate the conversation).  How can I cancel this purchase?  I do not need the program.

  • Problems Exporting to Quicktime.  Would you use Profcast?

    Using the new Keynote, which is promising, we recording a seminar that was 2 hours long. We wanted to distribute it via CD. We have tried to export it so many ways to Quicktime. We get the old "Your slideshow cannot be exported as a Quicktime movie. There's not enough disk space, or there was a problem with the file." Of course, disk pace is not a problem. We just found out that this is some sort of bug that the Apple community has been trying to figure out for years and has errupted again with this new Keynote version. We've tried the couple solutions posted elsewhere on the internet, and nicely summarized here: http://www.madebymark.com/madebymark/2006/04/keynote30expo.html
    As with the author above, they haven't worked for us. And we don't have a stray "audio icon" that the author describes. Our Keynote presentation is very bare, with new fancy slide transitions or effects.
    I'm thinking that Keynote cannot be trusted with audio presentations of over a few minutes. We recorded a nice four minute or so presentation and exported to Quicktime. It worked wonderfully. Has all the nice effects. When we tried a longer recording (10) minutes, all the sound and transitions were out of sync.
    Our problem is that we record whole lecture and seminars. If Keynote has a glitch, we are then having to re-record. It's painful and expensive.
    We were using Profcast, which allows us to import Keynote presentation and record the lectures. Now Profcast doesn't allow fancy transitions. It also doesn't (or did not) export to Quicktime. It exported to mp4 (I believe) which a Quicktime user could open. But the audio was perfectly timed with the slide pagination. And two other important benefits. The lecturer could easily start and stop the audio. If I'm not mistaken, that's not on option under Keynote. If you start the recording under Keynote, you're on until you finish. If you pause (I don't think there is a pause. I think you must exit) the recording, you end the recording. The final nice thing of Profcast (although I have not used it) is that you can export to GarageBand. At that point you can edit out extraneous material. I'm not sure what to do with it at that point. I don't think GarageBand allows you to export to quicktime. I think you can export to iTunes which is a type of QT. Assuming that one had to edit using GarageBand, that would require person to have iTunes to listen and watch the slide presentation, if I'm not mistaken. The other problem is that when you are using Profcast, as I remember (and I may be wrong on this), you lose all the nice transitions and effects. You still see the same slides with the same quality, but minus the effects.
    ProfCast has proven a reliable workhorse, but without the effects. Quicktime is wonderful if you are not recording audio. If you are, nightmares ensue, and there seems little hope for an immediate solution.
    Here are my questions. Beyond the few solutions for the Quicktime export problem, does anyone have any solutions? Any suggestions? We have a three hour presentation (it's huge) and are loathe to rerecord it.
    Should we just stick with Profcast? Why or why not?
    Oscar

    Oscar I feel your pain !
    We had similar problems from a recent seminar recording.
    However I don't think it's length related. We recorded 15 presentations. 7 of which did not have slides. All those were fine with just our placeholder screen (25-ish minutes each)
    Of the remaining 8 half exported finem, half crashed with the "disk full etc" error. All 8 presentations had slides imported from Powerpoint PC. Slide numbers ranged from 10 to 30. We could not determine a common denominator between the ones that crashed.
    We tried removing transitions, deleting and re-inserting the original slides and a whole raft of other voodoo especially trying to hack the contents of the KN Package file in the hope of stumbling on to a fix ... to no avail.
    This was a one-off live conference, no re-record possible. You don't want to hear this but we were forced to extract the audio and manually resynch All the presentations in Flash
    You may have a better workflow, but you DO know you can control click the Keynote file, choose "Show Package Contents" and in there you will find all sorts of stuff including the .m4a audio file
    This is a serious bug that render KN completely it's recording feature completely unusable.
    But what has been most disappointing to me has been the absolute lack of any feedback from the stuff I have filed on this. Bug reports, Feature Enhancements, and the lack of comments from any of the Apple KN staff on this Apple KN board, does not speak well to the type of support for this product.
    But here's the sting in the tail:
    Having JUST completed the Flash workaround (at a cost of several thousand dollars in contracting) I just installed the KN 4.01 updater released today and all the files that would not export now do so just fine ! Grrrrrrrrrr.........

  • General error in FCP re: rendering and export  after Quicktime 7.5.5 update

    Hi
    My FCP 6.0.4 rendering and export to Compressor no longer works after an update to Quicktime 7.5.5.
    Rendering fails after a few seconds "General Error!" pops up. Exporting to Compressor, after setting it compressing, Compressor after a few seconds fails. (audio is processed) My current work around is exporting a sequence using Quicktime conversion (time consuming) and then opening in Compressor.
    I've done the usual, deleting prefs, new sequences and projects, even saving movs in different codecs.
    (been using H.264)
    My sequences are all custom sizes but tests using presets also fail.
    Any ideas anyone?
    And I was so happy the Quicktime upgrade could play sequence movs recorded months earlier that until now I couldn't play properly due to previous Quicktime upgrades!
    Apple gives with one hand and takes with the other....

    Hi There,
    Thanks for your reply on this.
    Well basically since I'm using content already in the H.254 codec (eg: a trailer off the internet, or the downsizing of HD footage) i'm just exporting to a codec that didn't have to be rendered and gave quality results. I used motion jpeg B as an export codec because it was quick (although HD space hungry) with no drop in quality. The resulting exports could be imported into a custom sequence (720 x 405) as square pixel aspect ratio files. Overlapping the canvas with other windows (eg: viewer) meant I could play a clip (with dropped frames) but not have to render it. I selected the H.264 codec as the sequence codec because I've found other codecs introduce darkening or lightening or blurring or other undesirable artefacts when exported to Compressor. H.264 used in the sequence settings exported through Compressor would give resulting m2v's as sharp and contrast accurate as the source file.
    That was until the recent 7.5.5 Quicktime update where attempts to do the same things I did before result in "General Error!" coming up after a few seconds of play or rendering.
    Traditional DV codecs are "blurry" in my opinion, especially when coping with web content or conversion of HD downloads.
    If you can suggest an editing codec that works best with FCP that is quick, doesn't introduce blurring or general degrading of the image I'd be happy to try it out. I typically downsize HD content from the web for DVD playback, so it's usually in a H.264 codec already. So i would need a codec for export from Quicktime that would work best with a codec in FCP. That doesn't alter picture quality when compressed to m2v in Compressor.
    Thanks!

  • IPhoto 6 Won't Export Slideshow Audio to QuickTime

    When "exporting" iPhoto 6 albums to Quicktime the audio selected in iTunes does not export with the selected Album photos. iPhoto "Help" says that iTunes' music selected for the slideshow also will export as the Album's "selected" music. But the slideshow music selection will not export to QuickTime with the iPhoto 6 photo album. Has anyone solved this problem? Thank you very much for any suggestions you may have!

    My situation is a bit different. I can not seem to export a "slideshow" without getting that awful sample music.
    The process is File>Export>QuickTime. No Make Slideshow and then export.
    From the Help files I am supposed to create a slideshow and then select music from iTunes in the SlideShow settings menu. Of course, I've now got a slide show with a huge filesize I didn't want. Delete isn't that big of a step. So now it is back to File>Export>QuickTime and check the box to add selected music.
    Of course, there is no way to know if the music has been identified and included in the export. Just trust, I guess. OK, make the export happen.
    Now, open the QuickTime movie file I just created. Once again, that awful sample music has been included. I've done this so many times with the same result.
    Work around is to export the images as a QuickTime movie with no music. Then open the QuickTime move and add music.
    Any idea as to why Apple put that stupid music checkbox in the File>Export menu if it only grabs the awful sample music?

    Hi Barbara
    Are your photos in iPhoto or are you using some other Photo Software?
    The latest version of iPhoto is a lot different than iPhoto 6 for example. In iPhoto 06 you could burn the Originals from your User Picture Folder using Finder, while in iPhoto 11 it is best to burn them from within the iPhoto Application.
    Open iPhoto and select the Event(s) that you want to burn onto the CD, then select Share on the menu bar and click Burn in the drop down.

    Then again, maybe you got a bad batch of blank CD's and need to try another?

  • Audio doesn't work when exporting to Quicktime

    Hi there.
    I've imported a FLV file with audio into a Flash file. When
    previewed as a swf, the audio works, but when exported to
    "Quicktime Video" (not the "Quicktime" setting) the audio doesn't
    play.
    I've double checked my Quicktime settings (ie the audio isn't
    Disabled, and i've tried Animation, Video, None and MPEG-4
    compression) but the audio still doesn't play.
    The weird thing is, if i have a Quicktime movie playing in
    Quicktime and then open my Quicktime Video file from Flash then the
    audio in the first Quicktime cuts out.
    Also in Quicktime the info on the Quicktime Video from flash
    says it has a Audio Track with the settings I exported it out as,
    but I'm still not getting any audio.
    Does anyone know what's going on?
    Thanks in advance

    Anyone?
    or is my question not making sense?
    Thanks in advance

    The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
    Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
    However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
    Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
    I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

    Your phone is toast.  Contrary to what the lovely folks in the jalibreaking community say, attempting to restore the iPhone to "factory" condition does not always remove the jailbreak.  You'll need to contact those bozos and see if they can help you.
