Slideshow in iPhoto - changing the theme for various slides to eliminate KB effect - doesn't "hold" through playback

I have made a couple of slideshows using iPhoto.  I used the Ken Burns effect as a theme (using my own music).  Many of the slides would not suit the KB effect (African animals) so I used the settings - change this slide to eliminate the KB effect for that slide - I also lengthened the duration that the slide played.  I found that the effect I wanted for the slides would be correct for the Preview, but then it would revert to the KB effect upon playing the slideshow.  Also, if I happened to move a slide to a different position, all the changes would have gone and I would have to repeat the exercise again!  Very time-consuming and frustrating.  Why won't the slides keep "their" instructions?  Also, I have had iPhoto crash a few times while I am making changes.
Can anyone help me sort this out?  I am presently exporting the latest slideshow to iTunes (and I've got my fingers crossed that all the changes I want are there)

NOt really. iPhoto is good for a quick and simple slideshow. For more complex work you need more powerful tools.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie is on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price:
PhotoPresenter  $29
PhotoToMovie  $49.95
PulpMotion  $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Pro X $299
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

    How to get them please?
    ===========================
    Sorry - no - all well, they seem to be all coming back -  back just after I put this question.
    Mysterious to me but very satisfactory.
    Profile doubtless that of an ignoramus.

    Ok, so I was able to find one but the one i'm most diappointed is the "free music" app i purchased and it had hundreds of songs that i didn't put on my desk top to save.  So just so we're clear, I cannot get that app back again with all my songs if it wasn't in the "purchased" place?
    Also,
    my husband has a iphone 4 and i've been trying to connect it to our Garmin GPS through bluetooth.  Now both devices recognize it but once a call is made or received, nothing goes through the GPS.  I've had it working before but it was before a couple of upgrades.  It is currently on ios7.2 upgrade.  Is that why it won't work?
    Thanks

  • How do you change the music for an export from a selection of pictures?

    I have iTunes and know how to change the music for a slideshow but if I select pictures from a folder and export to QuickTime how do I change the music?
    There is an option to "Add currently selected music to movie" but it always plays the same tune. How do I get an option to select an iTunes song like with the Slideshow? Where are the slideshow sample music files stored? There are 11 files in the sample folder but I can't find any of them on my drive.

    Maybe there is some confusion in what I'm telling you. There are two types of slideshows in iPhoto. One creates a special slideshow album that appears in the Source pane on the left side. This is not the one I'm talking about. (You create one of these slideshow albums when you select some photos and click the Slideshow icon (the one with a Plus sign on it) at the bottom of the iPhoto window.
    The other slideshow is done from the main library window or from a regular album (not a slideshow album). You either select some photos (or a roll) from the Library or select an album (with a folder icon). Then click the Play button which is on the bottom right hand side of the iPhoto window.
    If your Play button is on the left side, then you aren't using the correct one. The one that appears on the left side shows when you've selected a Slideshow Album from the source pane. This type of album has an icon that looks like a couple of slides (the kind you put in a projector).
    Does that make a difference?

  • IPhoto changes the original creation date to 12/31/1969

    Hi folks, this is a problem I have been trying to resolve for a very long time.
    I have a large collection of pictures that I took with a Palm Zire 71 and Zire 72 going back to 2003. Every time I import the files with iPhoto (File > Import to Library), iPhoto changes the original creation dates of the jpgs to 12/31/1969. I have tried many different things... most recently I burned the files to a CD, confirmed that the original creation dates were still in tact, and tried importing with iPhoto right from the CD. I got the same result... all photos with the date 12/31/1969. All photos completely disorganized because of Palm's less than great file naming structure. I need to keep the creation dates intact for the iPhoto books I want to make with them, so changing the file names won't work as a solution. Even changing the files names to the creation dates plus a counter would be very difficult because it is over 1500 pictures. Does anyone else know of this problem and perhaps have a solution for it? Thanks!

    Thank you for the suggestion TD. But the Batch doesn't help in this case because so many of the photos were created on different days. I would still have to manually go into each of the creation dates and change them back to the original.
    That's just not feasible for 1500 files. iPhoto shouldn't be stripping the files of the creation dates at import to begin with. I'm hoping to find a way to get the import process to work properly for these files. The weird thing is that iPhoto doesn't seem to do this to files create on a more typical point and shoot camera,
    but only on these Palm files.

  • Iphoto - when exporting photos with their titles,iPhoto changes the manual sequence that I have given and imposes an alphabetical sequence

    Mac mini
    Processor  2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory  8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 4000 768 MB
    Software  OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)
    When exporting a group photos with their individual titles, iPhoto changes the manual sequence that I have given and imposes its own sequence (which seems to be alphabetical).  The export dialogue box allows me to use my titles or to impose a numerical sequence.
    How can I keep my titles and the sequencing that I had carefully worked out?

    What you are missing is that files have no order - you view them using a program and that program creates the order
    When viewing in an iPhoto album you can sort manually and iPhoto will display the photos as you sorted them - but when you move to a different program (the finder for example) you have a totally different set of sorts available - for example in the finder the same set of files can be viewed in alpha order, in size order, in date modified order, etc - none of those are inherent in the file but are sorts set under the view menu 
    So to meet your requirements you must export with file attributes that allow the finder view options to present your desired view - which is what volunteers here have tried to help with - even though it really does not involve IPhoto in any way

  • Can I globally change the Theme of an iWeb site?

    I noticed that when I added a second page to my initial site in iWeb and the theme was different from the existing page. I couldn't determine how to either change the theme of that page to match the first page and/or change all pages to a new theme. It seems that once a theme is selected, you live with it.
    iWeb is nice for Pretty and Glitzy but I'm having difficulty generating a new Web to replace the one I maintain on Comcast with FrontPage with my wifes' desktop PC. FrontPage is too slow/kludgy to maintain a Web site using the Virtual Machine. I need a large table for my high school classmates' names and e-mail address(es). The follow-on pages would look beautiful with existing iWeb themes since they are either text or will be photos (when I add them).
    I also have a count-down script on the existing page. Apparently, this is not supported on iWeb and .MAC.

    Multisim's Spreadsheet View is a great tool to set/change various parameters for multiple components at once.
    This is what you need to do in order to assign the same footprint to multiple/all resistors:
    Open Spreadsheet View (menu view > Spreadsheet View)
    Select the Components tab
    Click on the column header RefDes and click on Sort Ascending (A->Z)
    Select all resistors (click on the first resistor press Shift and click on the last resistor in the column)
    Scroll to the right an click in any of the select rows in the column Footprint
    The Select Footprint dialog appears.
    The footprint you select will be assigned to all selected resistors
    Resistors will turn from black (virtual) to blue (real) in your schematic

  • When i create a slideshow in iphoto using the ken burns effect it will not work in idvd. any tips please.

    when i create a slideshow in iphoto with the ken burns effect it works fine. when i then transfer it to idvd it will not work. any tips please.

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    how are you getting the slideshow into iDVD?
    what size slideshow did you send to iDVD?
    can you export the slideshow to the Desktop and play it with Quicktime Player there?
    what fixes have you tried?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
    Here's how you should create and sent a slideshow to iDVD from iPhoto:
    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • HT204053 i have an apple id on my ipod & another for my macbook & iphone.  how do i change the id for my ipod to match the one for my macbook & iphone?

    i have an apple id on my ipod & another for my macbook & iphone.  how do i change the id for my ipod to match the one for my macbook & iphone?

    To change the ID:
    For iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (Receive At in iOS 5), tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the other ID.
    For FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>Facetime.
    For Purchasing, do this in Settings>iTunes & App Stores (Settings>Store in iOS 5).
    For iCloud, you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account.  Before deleting the account, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll or you will lose them.  To do this, open the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.  Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On iPod.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.

  • How to change the theme in the default profile so new users get a different theme

    How can I change the theme (background picture, etc) for the default profile, so that when new users log in and get a new profile created, they get a different theme than the one they currently receive?

    Hi,
    If you want to get a different theme for new users, based on my understanding, it’s not easy, we can load the specific theme for all user because we can control OS to load this specific theme file.
    The default location of theme file is:
    C:\Windows\Resources\Themes
    To configure OS load different theme for different user, I think this cannot be controlled by a registry key. It’s complicated to make OS choose different theme pack for different user, even more, the theme pack files are limited.

    and displayed in a Report Region as a Radio group with Submit.
    The problem is, i've not been able to change the font size.
    What i' have tried.
    - Change the color works if i change "+Page Item"-> Element -> HTML Table Celle Attributes+ to
    style="font-size:1.2em; color:#CC00CC" I see the new color but NO change in font-size.
    - If change in Application-> Shared Components-> Templates
    copy the Template "Reports Region" to "MenueReport",
    then change on "MenueReport"->Template

         Edit Region->User Interface -> Template to "MenueReport".
         I see a new color but NO font-size will be changed!
    - I have changed the query to     SELECT  ' <font size="4">' || rt_name as x, rt_nr  FROM report_types order by rt_nr     But there is NO change of font size, and the Tag <font size= .. is deprecated.
    Used Version is Apex apex_030200 with Firefox 3.5.5 Windows.

    Can anyone help me and explain how to change the font size in Apex for a Radiogroupe?
    Thanks in advanced

    Assign a [static region ID|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e11838/ui.htm#sthref1438] to the region containing the radiogroup.
    Place the following code in the HTML Header page property, replacing static-region-id with the ID given to the region:
    <style type="text/css">
    #static-region-id label {
      font-size:1.2em;
    </style>after that how do we need to call this css
    and does it need to be called within the Region HTML table cell attributes of a region or in the HTML Form Element Attributes of the radio group items
    >
    CSS isn't "called". Learn how [themes, templates|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e11838/themes.htm#CJABAEIE] and CSS are used to control the appearance of APEX applications.
