Slideshow in DSP

How do I create a slideshow in DVD Studio Pro?

Hi:
It's a very generic question ! It's no easy gives you a full answer to the whole process. I can tell you:
- Prepare your pictures
- Import them in DVDSP
- Create a new Slideshow
- Drag your pictures inside the Slideshow
- Set time and transitions for each slide
- Add music
- Create your menu
- Etc Etc
I think the best is reading the Creating Slideshows chapter in the DVDSP online manual. If you have some specific problems during the process for sure you can ask/search here.

Image "Squeezed" when export to compressor and import to DSP

I've Edited and created many 4:3 movies and not had problems creating DVDs. This is my first HiDef footage that I captured in FCP as DV.
Looks good in letterbox in Final Cut. I exported to compressor in order to later create DVD in DSP. I made sure I exported using the 16:9 option with compressor. When previewing in DSP, the image looks "squished".
Am I not exporting it properly for what I need to do? Is there a setting in DSP that I need to change in order to create a 16:9 DVD?
Thanks in advance

First, you should bring your footage to DVD SP as 16:9 anamorphic, not letterboxed.
Setting preferences for a 16:9 project:
Open DVD studio pro.
If a project is open just close it.
In DVD SP preferences choose "Project" and make sure DVD Standard is set to 'SD DVD'.
Click apply.
Open the "General" tab and in the SD DVD Menus, Tracks and Slideshows dropdown choose '16:9 Letterbox'.
Click apply then the OK button.
You are now ready to create a new 16:9 project.
Import your footage and get to work.

IPhoto slideshow using mini-dvi to video adapter

When using the mini-dvi to video adapter to connect to my widescreen tv (via composite), to show iPhoto slideshows, the transistions between slides dont apear and there are no ken burns effects. The slideshow runs fine on my MacBook display (ie when not conected to the tv), and the is no other distortion or flickering (as reported in other threads), this seems odd to me or is it just a limitation of analogue output.
2Ghz MacBook, White Mac OS X (10.4.7)

It means that the issue resides in your existing Library.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

How can I use one photo twice in a slideshow

I am in iPhoto '11 9.4.3 making a slideshow to send to iDVD for my mother-in-laws funeral next Wednesday.
How can I use this one particular photo of her several times in the slide show.
I have tried copy/past and that does not seem to work.
Thanx in advance

I would just duplicate the picture several times and keep inserting duplicates ...

TS4425 How can I remove Photo Stream pics from my Apple TV slideshow?

I am a decorator and take photos of furniture, fabrics, etc on my phone daily, but I do not want these photos cycled in the slideshow on my Apple TV. I have iTunes pulling photos from designated folders on my home computer, but I can't seem to figure out how to remove my iPhone photo stream pictures. Suggestions?

Hi lpetershagen,
Here is an article of information on ways to delete photos from Photo Stream:
iCloud: How to delete photos from Photo Stream

Alternatively, you can choose different photos for the Apple TV screensaver by following this:

Is there a way to create a slideshow viewable with a DVD player?

Hi there, is there amongst the Apple programs (or else) something that would allow me to show my digital photos on TV with a DVD player? Manually commanded with the remote, or with auto time lapse, fading or transitions?

I tested both Photo Magico and iDVD. Both produce a nice slideshow with good image quality when previewed on the computer. PhotoMagico has some really professional grade blending and zooming effects, and allows placement of multiple sound tracks, which is not possible with iDVD where you just drop one file and it plays in buckle.
The problem with both is that when the slide show is encoded, it looses too much quality! Images loose their detail, their colour depth, and they flicker inacceptably. The worst is with PhotoMagico who sends the already compressed file to iDVD to be compressed again and burnt. The loss of quality from the very neat preview to the resulting DVD is enormous. Sent to Toast Titanium, it's a little better but aliasing effects are still very annoying.
I then tried a slideshow made directly in iDVD. The quality is merely acceptable, still not professional. The images are so compressed that they loose their details, and the edges of the frames and every straight line in the images flicker...
Compressing an original 5 Gb slideshow made of JPEG files to 1,5 Gb seems an enormous rate of compression. Is this the way it is with those programs, or have I missed some settings somewhere? Is there no way to preserve the initial image size when passed to DVD? Alternatively, would the pro version DVD Studio Pro have more flexibillity? It's there on my computer, but the interface is turning me away! ...
Thanks again for any hints!
Paul

Is there a way to create a pan and zoom effect in a lightroom slideshow?

Is there a way to create a pan and zoom effect in a lightroom slideshow?

Nope. Be a great feature. For that I use FotoMagico after exporting JPEG's from LR.

I have received a disk of photos which are avi files, what software do I need to download to be able to view the slideshow and save them within i-photo please

Having had some photos done at a photographers, they have passed me the disc of the slideshow, which is in avi format, however I cannot view it on my imac, I would be really grateful if someone could advise me what software I need to download that is compatible with the imac whereby I can view the slideshow and also whether I can then save the slideshow to iphoto. Hope you can help, I am not great with technology as you can probably guess.

I use Smart Converter which is free on the App Store. It is easy to use , just drag and drop the files to convert to Quicktime , takes no time and great results.

Can you show slideshow within Lightroom 4.4 in Adobe RGB color space?

Can you show slideshow within Lightroom 4.4 (not export out from LR) in Adobe RGB color space provided that you are using a wide gamut monitor which is capable and hardware calibrated & profiled to show such color space?
If this is possible, what is required to do so in Windows 8 and i7-4770 & HD Graphics 4600 platform or does LR take care of it automatically?
This is very basic question, however, I could not find a clear answer/info from LR documentation, so wish that someone can advice.

Those settings are probably stored in a plist somewhere in ~/Library/Preferences. If you can locate the appropriate file, you should be able to copy it to all the network user folders.

ITunes No Longer Working With iPhoto Slideshow

I'm not certain, but as I can no longer play music from my iTunes Library along with an iPhoto Slideshow, I think this is related to the new 7.7 iTunes update.
My iPhoto by the way, is the last version - 6.0.6.
Has anyone else noticed a new-found inability to have songs in your iTunes Library accompany an iPhoto Slideshow? And better still - how can this be fixed?
Thanks kindly,
john

I just discovered that after the iTunes update and the Lion update, my iTunes wouldn't update anything except what was in the library already. New songs, apps, movies all equaled bupkiss. I went into advanced settings and saw that my library location was blank. I'm using an external drive for my music. So there's a bug, since it would play everything thing in the library but was unsure where the library was so that it could write to it. I just relocated my media drive and now sharing and updating the library works fine.

Has anyone reported the Slideshow clipping bug?

When I last posted this, I was told I must be doing something wrong. So, assuming I didn't quite understand what I was doing, I started over with some fres graphical images. Here's what I discovered:
When in Slideshow mode, Apple TV consistently, regardless of mode (720p, 1080i) will clip 36 pixels off the top AND 36 pixels of the bottom of any image it displays.
When parading by images, when you it is displaying the contents of a photo album, all appear 100% fine. When you select the "slide the images up in a layered display" they are all displayed 100%.
With the Ken Burns effect on OR off, Apple TV seems to reserving 72 pixels for possible photo/image sliding. Seems like a bug that if I turn off the Burns effect, it still reserves those 76 pixels.
I did extensive testing with Photoshop drawings as I could not figure out what was going on. It is extremely difficult to notice with a photo, unless you have a head shot, where you can see the top of a head (or some other image) right near the top of the photo. Tell me it's not clipped in slideshow view.

Winston,
+If you check carefully you will notice that your movies do exactly the same thing on the tv, it isn't just something that affects photos or the tv+
Thanks for the suggestion. I take it, then, that in order to prove it is overscan I have to make a movie that will have measurable edges, bands of color, each (say) 8 pixels hight? And then create a movie in iMovieHD? And then play it on the AppleTV only to see, what? The clipping of 72 pixels due to overscan? It's possible... a lot of work, but worth it to know where the source of the clipping comes from.
The images I am using are not 6:4 photos, but are (typically much less than) 1280 wide and (exactly) 720 high. I already explained that I was using photoshop to create images that were 720 pixels high, each having a 40 pixel border of black on the top and the bottom. The width is inconsequential, as for these images, clipping the width is not important. I mentioned that all photographs are also clipped but, since most people use the Photo feature on appletv to view snapshots, they don't miss the content.
All of my images are cropped to 16:9; you crop yours using iPhoto, I create them in Photoshop. If I have time this weekend, I will test your overscan theory. If that's the case, I'll let you know, and then see if there are any adjustments for overscan on my set.
FYI, while overscan does indeed exist, almost all examples in the Wikipedia refer to horizontal overscan, resulting in horizontal, not vertical, clipping. You are correct in that it still exists. This has been a real learning experience for me. I had assumed that digital = "exact."
Live and learn.

I wonder how these images would look on a monitor, which uses underscan...

IPhoto rotates images in slideshow even though the thumbnail for that images has the correct orientation.

This problem seems bizarre to me considering iPhoto 11 has worked with out a hitch since I upgraded from 09 ages ago. The photos in my album suddenly changed orientation from landscape to portrait and vice versa and sometimes upside down. I first notice this problem after I tried to click and drag a large number of photos directly from iPhoto to Finder. I did a Command-A to highlight all the photos from my album and tried to drag them to a folder in Finder. There are 34,000 photo in this album but only half were copied, (I guess 34,000 items is too much for Lion to copy all at once). I tried fixing this orientation problem by highlighting all affected photos and selecting "Revert to Original" which fixed the orientation of the thumbnails. But when you double click on a thumbnail to view the pictures or view the album in a slideshow, some of the pictures still have the incorrect orientation but most were corrected. Also if I double click on an affected photos to edit it with iPhoto image editor the image suddenly orientates itself correctly. Then as soon as I close the image editor and view the photo or start a slide show it's displayed with the incorrect orientation again. How is that possible that all my thumbnails are orientated properly but when I view the photo it's rotated sideways or sometimes rotated upside down? Any help or insight to my problem would be much appreciated.

Revereting to original will not fix the problem. When you invoke that menu option iPhoto will read the file again, see the tag that tells it to rotate the file and will rerotate it.
The most reliable way to fix this is to rotate those file before they are imported into iPhoto. Upload from the camera to a folder on the Desktop, rotate those that need rotating, rename if desired and import. I use Xee for that because it can rotate the file losslessly.

Slideshow feature in Adobe Bridge in CS3

I use Mac OS X 10.5.5 with Photoshop CS3 and Adobe Bridge CS3. I am using a Sony DSL a350 and shoot my images in Sony's raw format which they label as ARW. Photoshop recognizes this format. But, if I wish to save my images in a readily recognizable raw format, the only option offered is Photoshop Raw. This works fine except that when I want to view these Photoshop Raw files using Bridge's slideshow feature, all I get is a tiny thumbnail instead of a full screen image. Strangely enough, when I double click the image in Bridge, it opens up the full file.

> Photoshop recognizes this format. But, if I wish to save my images in a readily recognizable raw format, the only option offered is Photoshop Raw.
When opening a Camera Raw format (such as your Sony ARW format) you HAVE to save it out as a TIFF, PSD or JPEG out of Photoshop. You CAN'T save it out of Photoshop as a raw digital capture because once you open it via Camera Raw it ain't raw any more...it's processed.
Photoshop Raw is not for digital captures, it's literally a raw format meaning you have to spec out the byte order, etc.

How to View Slideshow but NOT in FULL SCREEN?

I often would like to start a slideshow of images on my mac but I don't want it to take up the whole screen. I just want to view the slideshow in a window. I have tried both iPhoto and Preview and can't figure out how to do that. Is there a way to do that in either of those apps?
thanks

HI,
I like iPhoto for slideshows. Preview doesn't support the enhancements such as the Ken Burns effects or audio like iPhoto does.
Open iPhoto. Select a slideshow in the source list on the left.
Click the Settings button at the bottom of that window.
Make sure: *Scale photos to fill screen* is not selected.
If you need more help, post in the iPhoto Forum

Adobe Muse slideshow widget not working on Ipad

The Muse slideshow widget i'm using is working fine in desktop version (on my Imac and Macbook Pro Retina), but the targets (buttons) are not working when i open the website in my Safari Ipad. When i open in Ipad Chrome, it's working fine.
