Slideshow Movie File Location

You used to be able to go into your /pictures/iPhoto Slideshows folder and import it into iMovie. Then share it to mobileme.
Unfortunately, when you create a slideshow in iPhoto '11 it appears to be using it as a temporary folder for creating slideshows. It's not leaving the actual file in there.
Does anyone know where the slideshow movie is stored after it has been created?

Hey! I am creating a slideshow from a book that I've created. Normally, when you Share to iDVD, the slideshow file that is created from the book is placed in the Users-> Pictures-> iPhoto Slideshows. I am not getting a dialogue nor is the file that was created being left in that folder. In iPhoto '09, the file would be there so I could easily import it into iTunes for Apple TV, iPhone, IPad, etc.
Create a book and then click Share iDVD. Where is the Slideshow file?
Thanks so much!

  • IMovie Can't Find Movie File Location

    I had to reinstall the OS and all software on my MacBook Pro and after I imported the Movie files back into iPhoto, iMovie can no longer find the movie files for the projects. When I open an iMovie project, there is a yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it. How can I tweak the iMovie project file to point to the movies in the new location?

    It is not the easiest thing to do, but it is possible.
    Please make a backup copy of the project file before attempting brain surgery.
    An imovie project file (with extension .rcproject) is a package. Right click on your Project file in the Movies/iMovie Projects folder. Select Show Package Contents.
    There should be a text file in there called Project.
    It will be in hexadecimal, so you need a hex-capable text editor to read it.
    I would suggest BBEdit (best but $$$) or PListEditPro (free from Apple).
    In this file, you may be able to see the paths and filenames for the clips used in the project.
    This is where iMovie expects to find the clips.
    The least risky thing to do is to move them to where iMovie thinks they should be, with the right names. However, this may impact iPhoto if you are changing the iPhoto library without telling iPHoto.
    So, alternatively, you could edit the file with the new paths and or file names.

  • ITunes Movie File locations

    Is there any fast and easy way to keep the listings of my available movies in iTunes while storing the actual files on an external drive? My internal drive is filling up quite quickly so I decided to get a TB external for just my movie collection. I have found that if I take the actuall file from the library and move it to the external it will leave the icon for the movie in iTunes but I'm having to go through one by one and "locate the file" for each movie. It prompted me to have it look on this drive for the "remainder of missing files" but when I tried that it just said it couldn't do it for some reason. Just wondering if theres an easier way to accomplish this.
    Edit: I did read the apple support for moving my entire iTunes folder to the external drive, but I dont want to move my music as well, as plugging the drive in just to listen to music is an obvious pain, but for movies thats not a problem as they are just streamed to my appleTV.

    Add the folder to your iTunes Library. It's the only way I know of since there doesn't appear to be a "find" option on TV shows like there is on music.

  • Slideshow in Photoshop Elements 9 keeps crashing when I try to output it to movie file (wmv)

    Made a slideshow using Photoshop Elements 9 that keeps crashing when I try to output it to movie file (wmv).
    This message appear: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error
    This is totally new to me as I have made a few slidshows before and saved them into wmv-files without any problem.I tried to open the file and renew it "save as" and did the whole procedure over again but it still crasches. There is no video in the slideshow and all pics are .jpg and to summarize it - 5 days of work is nearly gone if this doesent convert into a wmv-file..... Pls advise any suggestion what to try here.
    Best regards

    Your crash has nothing to do with the junk filter. It looks more like a corrupt preferences file. If you're curious, you may check the validity of that file issuing the following command in Terminal:
    plutil ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plistWhat does it say? Now, try this:
    1. Quit Mail.
    2. Make a backup copy of the HOME/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
    3. In the Finder, go to HOME/Library/Preferences/. Locate the file com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted if this fixes the problem).
    You'll have to set up your accounts from scratch all over again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don't. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in HOME/Library/Mail/ when done.
    You'll also have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. The first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable "Display remote images in HTML messages" if it's enabled.

  • I want to move the location of my iTunes library music files. At present they are all on my time machine . I want to move them all to my imac. Can I do that and keep all my playlists and play counts? Thanks in advance

    I want to move the location of my iTunes library music files. At present they are all on my time machine . I want to move them all to my imac. Can I do that and keep all my playlists and play counts? Thanks in advance
    its 1000s of songs . Originally I used the time machine as a networked drive but it can cause the songs to pause so I'm thinking it would be better to have the songs on the internal imac drive
    how can I move the songs so I can re-open iTunes and the playlists (with plays in the 100s) find the song in the new place?

    Do you mean on your Time Machine backup drive? Or are you actually accessing the backup? In either case you shouldn't be doing that. If you haven't space on your HDD to store the iTunes Library, then at least put it on another external drive.
    Since you did not provide any information about what's actually "on my time machine," here's what you would do. The entire iTunes folder should be stored in the /Home/Music/ folder. Within that folder you would have three folders: imm Media, iTunes, and iTunes Playlists.

  • Trying to move my iTunes Music and other media from the main drive on my pc to an external hard drive but iTunes is not recognizing the new file location?  Ideas?

    Trying to move my iTunes Music and other media from the main drive on my pc to an external hard drive but iTunes is not recognizing the new file location?  Ideas?

    Hello there, Underwriter.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides in-depth instructions on how to migrate your content to an external drive:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
    Particularly of note for your situation:
    External drive
    This option requires more work than Home Sharing, but it creates a backup of your iTunes library on the external drive in addition to moving your content.
    Notes before you start:
    You can use most iPods as an external drive.
    Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats). Because of this, you can't use a Mac-formatted iPod or external drive to move your music to a Windows PC. See iPod: How to determine iPod's hard disk format if you're not sure how your iPod is formatted.
    Mac OS X can read Windows-formatted iPods and drives. This means there are many ways to migrate your information from your old Windows-based PC to your new Mac.
    Mac OS X: To be sure external drives appear on your desktop, choose Preferences from the Finder menu. Be sure the options for "External disks" and "Hard disks" are enabled.
    Part 1: Locating and consolidating the iTunes Media folder
    Part 2: Copy iTunes folder from the old computer:
    Part 3: Get iTunes ready on your new computer
    Part 4: Back up any music that's already on your new computer
    Part 5: Copy music to your new computer
    Part 6: Add preexisting music that was on the new computer back into the library

  • Can I convert a pdf slideshow with narrative to a movie file?  Using Pro version 8

    I am working with a template software (Vacation Bible School) where I insert pictures and at the end, it plays a slideshow with narrative (already in the template) when you open it up and hit the spacebar.  it works fine, but there are 5 different files and the company we got the template/pdf files from suggest for presentation purposes, I should just open up each file individually and start the slide show.  it seems kind of clumsy having to open up each file individually, play it, close it and then go to the next file.  It would be great if I could capture the slideshow as a movie file, then combine all 5 movie files into one file that can be played on a CD player (I use Sony Vegas studio and Nero software for this).  I am using Acrobat Pro version 8.  Any suggestions?

    It can't be done in Acrobat.
    I just did a Google search on "pdf slideshow to video" and saw a couple of third party products that claim to be able to do it. I have never had a need for that, and can't claim how well they work.

  • I want to move the location of my iTunes Library db file but keep the media in it's existing location. Is this possible?

    I want to move the location of my iTunes Library db files to a new location without moving the whole lot, including my Media file [Music, Films etc etc files]... in this case I want to move the Library db files to my iCloud Folder so I have a backup of the Library db File [ good idea huh :-) ]  and I should be able to open iTunes whether the media can be seen at that point or not.  is it possible to just move the Library files and then tell iTunes where they are so it can launch iTunes?
    Is this just a case of cut and paste the Library files to the new location, then updating config in iTunes?
    This may be a silly question but in my book, no question is silly if it needs to be asked.
    Any ideas, advise welcomed.

    I am using an iCloud Folder on my local Mac hard drive. iCloud Folder syncs with iCloud and works like a backup. It is a subscription service that Apple offer.
    You should be adding them to iCloud, not your local drive.
    Yes I understand how it works.
    The iCloud folder on the local drive is (and should be) managed by the iCloud drive/OS, not you.
    You are simply trying to work around iCloud drive.
    I just want to know if I can move the iTunes Library cb files to a new folder/location on my macs local hard drive
    ... and tell iTunes where to look for the Library so that it can launch / startup
    The iTunes library.itl file is part of the iTunes library.
    I already back up my actual media files (music etch) by other methods.
    You should back up the entire iTunes folder, not just the media.
    If you wna to backup the iTune slibrary.itl, just copy it to the iCloud drive on the left side of aFinder window.
    You don't need to go (and shouldn't) into the iCloud folder in your user library.
    This is what the "guru" will tell you.

  • Slideshow and video (.mov) files

    When I import photos (.JPG) and movies (.MOV) from my camera to the ipad, they appear as an 'ALBUM' and I can run a slideshow on the ipad that will show both photos and movies in the sequence that they were taken. However, when I import the same photos and movies onto my pc, and then sync the ipad with the pc, the movie files show as 'unable to be synced'
    The same photos and movies still show as 'ALBUMS' and are duplicated on the ipad under both 'PHOTOS' and 'ALBUMS'.
    I can run a slideshow under PHOTOS that will include the 'imported' movies.
    Does anyone know why the sync rejects these movie files - the ipad is happy to accept them from the camera?

    Unfortunately, if you don't have (or want to use) the CCK, you may run into problems with a lot more cameras. In most cases, this is caused by the so-called “H.264 level”. While CCK does import videos with, theoretically, incompatible levels (that is, over 4.1), iTunes in no way synchronizes the same videos without your manually decreasing the level first. Most Canon cameras that record 1080p24 videos belong here (they use level 5.0); the most notable exception is the new, high-end Canon EOS 5D Mark III, which not only records audio into AAC instead of the far more storage-unfriendly PCM, but also uses lower and iOS-compatible H.264 levels (4.0 for 1080p and 3.1 for 720p videos).
    That is, first, try finding out what the H.264 level of your videos are and change them with Subler. If Subler can't change it, use other apps to do it. Read  http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/making-stock-videos-application-play-every-mp4 -files-possible for a full tutorial (the Subler link is at the bottom). It's about synching for the "Videos" app; however, the same also applies to synching photos back in the "Photos" tab.
    BTW, what camera model is that?

  • Highest quality slideshow saved to movie file is has terrible resolution in PE12, but PDFs look great. What's up?

    I've saved a PE12 slideshow as the highest quality available, but the resolution is low when viewing. When saved as a PDF the resolution is outstanding. Does anyone know how I can get better resolution from the movie file?

    How are you creating the video file? PSE itself can only record in the horrid outdated VCD format. Output your slideshow to a WMV file and then use PRE, if you have that, or whatever burning software you have to finalize the video.

  • Best way to move Onenote files from offline file location.

    We have a majority of our users now on Win 7 using Office 2010.
    We have redirected folders with offline files syncing Included in this location is the OneNote files.
    After starting to investigate Win 8.1 Update 1 and office 2013. We noticed the message OneNote 2013 throws up about issues with having OneNote files included in the Offline files location (The first version to offer this message). And have started to notice
    issues with users OneNote files corrupting etc.
    Almost certainly from the Offline files syncing and OneNote's own in built cache\syncing abilities. 
    We investigated excluding *.one files from offline syncing but quickly eliminated this because users then wont be able to create any further *.one files in this location.
    My two questions are-
    1) How bad could the issues with corruption of OneNote files get if they stay in their current location? We are concerned the more our users get to know how useful OneNote is the more issues we will get.
    2) Is there an easy way to move the OneNote files to another network location for multiple users with least disruption to them as possible?

    Right-click the notebook, click Properties, and then click

  • Will changing the partition of the Home Folder automatically move files from old location?

    I want to change the home folder for my users.  Currently they are saving to the C: drive and using up the space on the root drive.  There is a D:  partition that has 774 GB free, so I would like to move use directories over to a new Home
    Folder on the D: drive. 
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816313
    What I am unsure of is whether or not I will have to manually move their files once I change the home directory.  Will it or do I need to take an extra step to move files in order to provide a seemless experience to the users?
    I am working with Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials.  

    Hi,
    Did you use the group policy to set the user home folder?
    As Ahmed MALEK mentioned, a user account is moved from one location to another in AD the users home drive setting is not automatically updated as its a static configuration on the users account. You need to manually move the file to the new location.
    Maybe you could consider the folder redirection, more detail information, please refer to:

  • Creating slideshow with AVI movie files in iDVD 06?

    Today I was trying to create a slideshow movie with iDVD. I had some AVI movie files that came from my Canon digital camera. I wasnt able to drag them into the slideshow well, so I thought I had to convert them to a .mov file, after converting them I still wasnt able to use them. Is it possible to make a slideshow with movie files as well as pictures in iDVD 06? I know for a fact that I can do this on iDVD 08, so is it possible? thanks in advance.

    Slideshows using movies is just an iLife '08 thing.
    I suggest you do what I do. Use VisualHub to convert the AVI slideshows to DV video movies. The DV video will work great in iDVD 6 when put on a menu page.

    I am almost at my limit of flash drive storage because I have downloaded a few tv shows on itunes on my macbook air. I have deleted these on itunes and emptied trash but still on my system profiler it shows about 11GBof movies taking up space. I cannot locate any movie files having tried looking first at my itunes library and also on finder searching by file type. A mystery to me where these files are.
    How can I get rid of those movie files?

  • Changing the location of movie files to an external hard drive

    how do I move specific movie files in iTunes to an external hard drive? I would like to free up space on my computer. Also, I do not want to move my music files or any other files - just a few movie files.

    Assuming you know the location where its saved on your PC, you can just move it to the external hard drive. However, if you do that iTunes will show an exclamation mark beside it and mention that it cannot locate the file any longer.
    Not sure if this will help, but I had a similar question (with regards to iTunes been unable to locate) and I got my question answered. Here's the link to my question/post.
