Slideshow export to movie

Hi there,
I am still using iPhoto 08. So I would like to know the improvements regarding slideshows and exporting them to movies. In 08 the larges scale was 640x480 pixels. What does 09 offer compared to that?

Here are the basic options

And if you click on the Custom button lower left then you can go to anything that QuickTime supports.

Exporting Slideshows as quicktime movie, i plan 200 or more pics..

I tested it exporting a slideshow that only had 5 pics..i put 10 secnods for each slide. And it took a while to export.
I can't imagine how long it would take with 200 or 300 pics or more.. Can it do it eventually ( if i wait long) or will it crash my system?
I'm doing a slideshow of a story.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As Terence mentioned give us some information about your setup, system version, RAM, HD free space, iPhoto version, QT version, etc., and the ultimate use of the slideshow.
Do you plan to put the slideshow into iDVD for burning and playing thru a TV set? Do you have music and use the KB effect? There are several ways to go about it and more information can help us answer your question more effectively.
Hi all:) Thanks for your answers. yes i forgot about my system:
I have a G5 tower 1.8Gzh single processor.
2GB ram. Diskspace is less than 1GB... but i have one 20GB External HD which sadly it's also full.. But i guess i can make space in the mac HD by throwing stuff i don't need.
Quicktime 7.1.3
I'll use Toast or IDVD to make the dvd.
But i hope it wouldn't take a lot just for a simple picture Slideshow.
My slideshow will be kind of like a story .. With Narration, music, sound efects.
How i plan to do it is: Render the images from my graphics program( Poser and Vue). , Take images to iPhoto and create a slideshow.. Set the transitions type and the seconds for the slides to stay on screen. Apply al lneeded settings in iphoto. Export as movie. Take movie to GarageBand OR if i had Logic Express( which i kind of plan to get), then logic express. Add sound tracks and narration and sound effects to movie. Export to quicktime.
That's it .

I made a movie in iMovie from an imported slideshow. How do I export the movie to burn on a disc to play on a pc

I made a movie in iMovie from an imported slideshow. How do I export the movie to burn on a disc to play on a pc? I burned one copy and it didn't playback properly on the PC. The pictures played extremely slow while the music played

Hi cortiz58,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
What version of iMovie are you working with? Is your end goal that you need to play the file on a Windows computer, or is it that you need to burn the file to DVD?
See this link for tips to re-wrap your file for Windows:
How to create a video for playback with Windows/XBox/PS3/… etc?: Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5781
If you export the iMovie file as a .mov file, you can play it in iTunes for Windows on your PC.
If you want the ability to burn to DVD, then you may consider downloading the free 30 day trial of our professional video application. Final Cut Pro X can import your iMovie project and burn it to DVD.

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.

Thanks,
Trev

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.

Exporting QT movie that works for any browser

I started with a 922 MB slideshow with music exported from itunes
saved from QT for web it is 4KB will play in QT only if you set connection speed to slow modem (28.8/33.6 Kbps) and not at all in some Explorer Browsers even with the QT plugin.
I noticed that there is an demo Flip 4 Mac option to export the movie as a Movie to Windows Media wmv file. The demo only works for a few seconds. Is there a better way to make this movie work across all platforms without having to upgrade Flip4?
The movie is at
http://homepage.mac.com/jwagnerj/inspiring%20design%20web/inspiring%20design.htm l
thanks!

Exporting to WMV won't make it work across all platforms it will make it work for Windows (and force every mac user to get Flip4mac).
You can manually export in QT Pro to a size and quality you are happier with than 4KB from 922 MB (quite the compression!). That is so small I wonder if it is a reference movie and not the final movie?
Most web pages use Flash for these clips, you can convert to flash free by the backdoor method - create a YouTube account; upload to Youtube then use one of the Firefox tools to download (like Video Downloader) your FLV file they made for you. I presume you can take things down from Youtube, if not, label it something like chlorophyll synthesis in cabbages and nobody will find it anyway.

Can a slideshow exported to a DVD be shown on a PC computer?

I created a slideshow in iPhoto and exported it to a DVD which plays fine on my Mac, but I was told it won't play on a Windows PC. Is that true?

Sure it can - if the PC has QuickTime Player - a free download
Export the slide show to the desktop and then using the finder burn the exported QT movie to DVD
Who ever told you no has no idea what they are talking about

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.

Making Photo Slideshows along with movies

Does FCE HD or FCP HD make good quality slideshows. iMovie seems to lose a lot of quality wihen making slideshows with photos. I am looking to make a DVD with movies as well as photos, and I am wondering what would app would give me the best quality.
Macbook Pro

I use Photo-to-Movie under http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
It makes better DV quality slideshows than iPhoto or iDVD (less shimmer and pixelation) and allows for very precise motion control of the "Ken Burns" effect. Then I import the finished "movie" to FCE and then export the movie to Livetype or Soundtrack to add titles or my own music.

Lightroom 3 Slideshow Export

I recently upgraded to Lightroom 3.6 from PhotoShop Elements.
I tried to create my first slide show in Lightroom. It took me a while to figure out that I needed a collection. I finally got the preview to look like I wanted and tried to export this to PDF and Movie.
Neither will work for me. The export to PDF gets to "Exporting X photos" and just hangs forever. Export to Movie finishes very quickly, but you can't open the MP4 file. The MP4 file is 2KB and the PDF file is 9KB.
I upgraded from Photoshop Elements to Lightroom in the hopes that some of the quirky behavior of Elements would not be present in Lightroom.
I have tried to run this as administrator also in case that would help. I even created a simple collection with only 3 images in it and it still fails.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dean

Hi Paul
The slideshow module exports the selected photos to high quality MP4.
I use it regularly as at satisfies the majority of user play back needs and embedding or sharing on social networks.
You may find yourself stuck in the closed world of Apple and Quick Time but rest assured you can escape.

Iphoto slideshow exported to Windows format

How can a slideshow produced in Iphoto be exported to windows vista format.
I have been able to produce the slideshow in IDVD which can be played on a dvd player, but I need to produce the slideshow so it can be read on a windows pc
Can anyone help me please
Cheers
Harry in OZ

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Can't the Vista computer play the DVD?
Another possibility is if you have Quicktime Pro. You can export the movie to Windows Media format and Vista should be able to read that.

Aperture 3 - Slideshows export HD no sound?

Hi everybody,
First of all, sorry for my English, I am French.
I am considering buying Aperture 3 and have downloaded the trial version. I tried to make a slideshow (250 pics), and added 2 songs from my Itunes library in the slideshow.
The HD export gives a good result but, there is no sound! Is it "normal"? Should I customize the export parameters or choose something else?
Maybe you will tell me to do otherwise, but I want to export a movie from Aperture because :
- I like the settings of Aperture slideshows and I want to keep them in the final movie
- I want to burn the slide show on a DVD because I want to give it to some people
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards

Weel, I have investigated further and it seems that there is only one song out of the 2 songs which is not read. Both are AAC files bought on Itunes and have the same characteristics. Do you have an idea which song 1 is not working? I have a screen capture of both songs information but I do not know how to attach them to my post.
Thanks

Exporting to movie - playing on windows pc - breaks sizes of window???

Hello folks,
Supppper weird thread post (I KNOW!) - and sorry about that!
here's the situation - the resolution im working with in Keynote is 800x600 & I tried 1024x...
When i export to movie (because I have a movie clip) and play it on my windows computer, the sides (left & right) of the presentation cut; meaning - they cut into the presentation and don't show some of the stuff..
for example if i have a picture on the far right (in my presentation) well the picture on the far right will not fully show because the frame is cutting the image...
What do i do?
I've tried to export to power point but some of the stuff doesn't quite work such as the efx and so on...
Please help.
thanks,
-Joey

If you don't find a fix there is a workaround that would work but would involve a fair amount of work up front. See this demo page: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window and this demo page with 9 movies on it which don't load until you click the Play button: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes.
You can use any size thumbnail for the image and put the play button on or below it. The movie will then play in its native size. Just a possible alternative.

Slideshow exported as MP4 file not recognised

Any idea what could be the issue with this?
I have tried a few times to play slideshow files exported as movies from LR3 (last year from the Beta, and recently, from my release copy) without any success.
The files aren't recognised as MP4s on my workstation, and although they are on my old (xp) machine, I can't play them in win media player (or anything else).
Any advice?

My guess would be that the device is shooting with an unstable frame rate. Not uncommon in cameras. Long shots will probably show sync drift over time after import, which is again not uncommon, especially with devices that shoot heavily comppresed video and audio formats.

Slideshow export issues

I'm running Yosemite 10.10 & iPhoto 9.6. I've created a 28 minute slideshow using the Scrapbook theme. The Slideshow plays fine in iPhoto. I export the Movie 1080p without error using the export button. The resulting file starts to play fine, and then after a minute the video continues to play but reverts to the first frame picture. At 10 minutes the video plays normally for 1 minute and then the same thing happens. At 20 minutes the same thing again. When I imported the file into iMovie I can see that the video has been made that way by iPhoto export (this is not a playback issue). This is totally different to how it plays within iPhoto itself. Any Ideas?

Bill,
It looks like they are all 400x300.
I can increase or decrease that in Photoshop if need be.
Thanks.

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!
