Slideshow Number of Slides

Is there a way to increase the number of slides in a theme that actually play in that theme?
I'm trying to use the sliding panels theme and it seems to run out of sliding panels and just play full slides after 15 slides.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Besides the sliding panel theme what are the other settings for your slideshow? I'm able to easily get all 31 of my test ss to play with panels. I'm not using any music, however.

Help - stopping random slideshow after 3 slides...

Hello all, Just like the title says, I want to know how to stop my random slideshow after 3 slides... my code is below...
//: SETUP VARIABLES
var maxVal = 4;          // max number of fotos
var oldVar = 0;          // keep track of previous random number
var newVar = 0;          // used to load the next image
var si = 0;               // interval variable
//: LOAD THE NEXT IAMGE
function getImage() {
newVar = Math.floor(Math.random() * maxVal);                                        // get random number
if (newVar == oldVar) {                                                                      // if number = old number..
getImage();                                                                                 // get a number
} else {                                                                                     // else
oldVar = newVar;                                                                      // set old to new number
container_mc.loadMovie ("fotos/foto" + newVar + ".jpg");                    // load the next image
container_mc._alpha = 0;                                                            // set its alpha to 0
this.onEnterFrame = function () {                                                  // create loop
if (container_mc._width > 0) {                                                  // check that the image has been loaded
container_mc._x = Stage.width / 2 - container_mc._width / 2;     // center movieclip to stage
container_mc.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;                                        // start fading out
delete this.onEnterFrame;                                                  // delete loop
//: FADE IN THE CURRENT MOVIECLIP
function fadeIn () {
if (this._alpha <= 100) {                         // if the movieclips alpha is greater than 0
this._alpha += 5;                              // reduce alpha by 5
} else {                                             // else
this._alpha = 100;                              // reduce alpha to 0
delete this.onEnterFrame;                    // delete handler
si = setInterval(fadeOut, 2000);          // after 2 seconds, fade out the movieclip
//: FADE OUT THE CURRENT MOVIECLIP
function fadeOut () {
clearInterval(si);                                   // clear the interval variable
container_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {     // create loop to fade out
if (this._alpha >= 0) {                         // if the movieclips alpha is greater than 0
this._alpha -= 5;                         // reduce alpha by 5
} else {                                        // else
this._alpha = 0;                         // reduce alpha to 0
delete this.onEnterFrame;               // delete handler
getImage();                                   // load the next image
// load first image
getImage();

It's hard to follow your code due to what's shown besides it, but it would appear you simply need to keep a count of how many times the getImage function executes and put the call to it in the fadeOut function within a conditional that won't call it when it has executed three times.

In C4: What determines the max number of slide one can successfully publish?

Using C4.
I am required by policy to use an original PowerPoint file. The total number of slide equals 72 (file size 38,201 KB when completed). The internal customer wants a "kicky" presentation based on her slides, so I must use some of the Captivate tools (e.g. zoom area, highlight box -- about the limit of my skills). And there must be spoken narration, not the text to speech feature. Total time for the 72 slides is 22.5 minutes when all is done. When published the narration is good, but the "kicky" part fails. Specifically some highlight boxes do not appear on many slides.
I deleted the table-of-contents feature. The most unusual tools that I'm using are the certificate widget, and a page turning widget.
I tried breaking the presentation into two parts. Part 1 was 58 slides and I experienced the same behavior. I've not tried part two yet.
In the past, I practiced, on my computer, with the aggregator. Is this the best route? We have no experience hosting an aggregator project on our server. Are there any special concerns about doing so? (I'm not the person who does this. He is out of the office at this time). Would daisy-chaining be a better route? (if so, what is the best source for instruction to do this?)

Again, I did not see the elephant in the room. I neglected to notice a default setting. Once corrected, everything works. My bad.
But, I would still like to know what determines the maximum number of slides on can successfully publish without Aggregator or daisy-chaining.

Maximum Number of Slides?

Hello.
I'm currently working in both flash and captivate and will be
building projects that are close and sometimes over a 100 slides. I
know there can be loading issues when the file size gets too big.
What is the best strategy to deal with this issue. I noticed that
captivate creates on swf file for the content of a project. Is
there a maximum file size (or number of slides) I need to keep an
eye out for when building training? Will I need to create separate
projects in captivate for each module I build in a course. Your
help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi brookevaughn and welcome to our community
As with anything, the true answer is "it depends". For
example, I've seen users report that they regularly produce
Captivate projects that consist of 120 or so slides and have no
issues. Then again, the flip side of that is that I've seen users
report nothing but trouble from a project consisting of only 30
slides.
I believe the automotive industry refers to this as "your
mileage may vary".
I think this varies because Captivate is so darn flexible
when it comes to what it allows you to record. For example, if you
record at perhaps a resolution of 640 x 480, you are a lot more
likely to be successful with longer projects than you would be if
recording at perhaps 1024 x 768. All that size translates to more
data to manipulate.
I typically recommend anywhere between 50-65 slides as a
"rule of thumb" for an upper limit.
Cheers... Rick

What is the maximum number of slides in a composition widget?

I was putting together a composition widget and it appears it stops at 12. Is this right? Is there a way or another widget similar that allows more?

Hi
To confirm there's no such limit on number of slides. You may add as many as you want. For example : Home I have added 18 slides you may add more as per your requirement.

Number of slides visited compared to total number of slides? To build % progress bar.

I would love to put a progress indicator on every slide that states the % of the total number of slides that have been visited.
To do that I need a variable that states the number of slides visited (so not the number of THE slide that is being visited).
Any suggestions?

Slideshow with 160 slides

I am working with iphoto6 and imovie6. I need to create a wedding slideshow with 160 slides and music. I read I can only use up to 99 slides per slideshow. Is there any way around this? Is my next best option to import the slides into imovie? Thanks, Karen

Number of slides viewed

Hi,
is there any advanced action that can help me set invisible button visible once a certain number of slides (or %) is viewed? For example: user can navigate all slides in any order by clicking buttons on first slide and once he checks all slides a certain button will appear on that first slide... (this is just a rough example).
Thanks!

HI Lilybiri,
here is a bit more explained example:
First slide contains lets say 10 buttons. Each button leads to a difereent slide with text and "back" or "close" button that redirects to first slide with all 10 buttons. So this first slide is something like "menu". Each button on "menu" slide has an advanced action that hides itself when pressed down and shows the same button replica but with "selected" state, so this is something like tracking so that user knows which button he has pressed (which slide has been viewed) when he or she comes back to first slide (this part works, it is not a problem). Now, what I need is another button, 11th menu button that will become visible on "menu" slide when all 10 butons have been pressed- all 10 slides viewed. That 11th button will open Quiz slide (11th slide).
The problem is that there is no linear order in which all 10 buttons can be pressed, so that I can lead user to 11th page with questions. User can click 10 menu buttons randomly - and this is where my nightmare begins. I need to enable 11th {quiz) button somehow on first slide when user views all 10 slides that I want him to see.
And to make it even more complicated, when quiz is finished I need to enable button no.12 which was invisible also, and which leads to another chapter of the course. I can do this by redirecting finished quiz to first menu slide replica that has all menu buttons and quiz button in "pressed down state". But still I need to figure out somehow that 11th button since that is "a must have".
Any ideas? Thanks!

Slideshow stops at slide #99

I need help figuring out how to make my slideshow play past slide #99. It works on my ibook (or whatever the Apple laptop is called) but when I burn the DVD and try to play it on my PC or DVD player, it freezes and quits at slide #99. I have the newest version of iDVD and it says it should be able to play thousands of slides, so is this an issue with both my PC and my DVD player?
If so, can anyone recommend a DVD player that can handle more than 100 slides?

I need help figuring out how to make my slideshow play past slide #99.
Short answer: you can't.
If you search the forum you will see many messages relate to the issue. Prior to iDVD 6, iDVD slideshows were limited to 99 images. Apple created something of a 'hack' in iDVD 6 that make it possible for some - but NOT ALL - DVD players to play longer slideshows.
The ONLY sure way to make a slideshow of more than 99 images that will play in all players is to create it as a movie in something like iPhoto or iMovie.

Organizer 8 Slideshow - Help - black slides in .wmv output?

Greetings. I recently purchased Elements 8 (both Photoshop and Premiere). My primary reason was to create slideshows in an easy fast manner with lots of features (i.e. pan/zoom). I have used Photoshop for years. I created my first slideshow and output to .WMV file. When I playback the slideshow in Windows Media Player v11, the first 3 or 4 slides play fine, with transitions and zoom/pan, then the slide show goes 100% black. After about15 to 20 seconds, a few more slide appear and function as designed. I can see that during the "blackout", slides were being prcessed because when they appear again, I am about 10 slides into the sequence, even though the blackout occurred after 3 or 4 slides. This repeats itself, blackout, then slides appear, blackout, etc etc. It was a 20 minute slide show.
The output was at 1024 x 768.
The original slides are 8 x10, 360 DPI, which is the resolution I have worked at for years in PS.
So... I created a smaller slide show with no transitions and no zoom/pans, and only about 20 slides. I still got the blackout issue.
I also launched the .WMV file in Nero and had the same issue, so the file itself has the blackout in it. It is not the player.
I then output to .WMV at 800 x 600 and this time it worked, even with the transitions and zoom/pan. No more blackouts.
Unfortunately, the quality is noticibly worse. I really need to stay at a higher resolution. So, I guess I have a myriad of questions and am for the most part looking for feedback, suggestion, etc.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Are there any ways to convert the slide show to a format other than .WMV? (i.e. AVI). I beleive to edit the slideshow in Premiere Elements where I could create other format, it first has to be converted to a .WMV file. This conversion is where the problem lies.
Thanks in advance....

My initial and probably most significant comment is
Seems like you now have 2880x3660 pixels in your photo files.I understand that it is a good resolution for printing however, .....
The odds are overwhelming that your photo file resolution is too high for slide show processing either in Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements. And the black "photos" in your slide show output are symptomatic of that problem.
How many and when black photos appear in the slide show output will vary according to the resources of your computer (temporary files disk space can be very significant) as well as the number of photos, their resolution and the resolution of the output.
As an example, when the final outout will be a standard definition DVD( which is 640x480) for playback on TV or computer DVD player software, the recommended starting resolution for photo files is approx 1000 x 750 is for full screen 4:3 output. You want a higher resolution playback, so yes your initial resolution would be proportionally higher so that you can have sufficient resolution to zoom and pan.
What is the playback method and resolution that you want? Approximately how many photos are in the slide show?
You are probably familiar with the Process Multiple Fiels command that is in the Photoshop Elements Editor: it is a possibility for making the recommended descrease in photo file resolution to a copy of the photo. There is also an Export command in the Elements Organizer.
My second comment for now is that
there is an alternative to making a wmv file: it is a command that sends the definition of the slideshow to Premiere Elements 8 without ever making the intermediate wmv file. Depending on where you are in PSE 8 Organizer or Slide Show Editor, this command may be either Edit in Premiere Elementsor Send to Premiere Elements. However, I highly recommend that you not try this command until you have downsized the resolution of your photo files.
FYI: there are many more comments that are appropriate to discuss a slide show workflow from PSE to PRE and some of this discussion might bounce back and forth between the Photoshop Elements and the Premiere Elements forum.

Maximum number of slides to fit music?

After album for slideshow is created, title given, is there a limit on the number of pictures that will play in a slideshow. I have found that, i.e., if I have 62 photos, it would not sync with the music that I was trying to "fit" with the slideshow. What am I doing wrong? I picked a 54-minute song but the first slide just sat there. My only remedy was to split the show into two.

Oops - hadn't updated our computers in a while. G5 has been replaced with a iMac Snow Leopard with newest software.

How can I make a slideshow of animated slides in Edge?

I've watched Paul Trani's great tutorial on making an interactive slideshow of images in which people can click through the images (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teYOHY5bGyk) and I've made a nice slideshow.
But I now want to make a slideshow just like that but use animated Edge compositions instead of JPEGs or PNGs for the slides that will play when that slide appears . . . does anyone know how to do this?
Thank you so much for your help!

Erin, most of Pauls tutorial demonstrations ave source files available for download.
For that particular slideshow demo, it is here http://paultrani.com/2013/07/how-to-create-a-slideshow-in-edge-animate/

How do I apply a song to a certain number of slides?

I am wanting to start a song on a certain slide and let it play to the end. I am able to start it on the slide, but once I click to go to the next slide, the song stops playing. What do I need to do to have it continuous until the end?

I am a bit confused by your description of what you are doing, but I think your problem is in the misunderstanding of what I meant by "sub-set" presentation.
Let's say, for example, that you have 20 slides and want a separate music track under slides 1-5, 6-11, and 12-20 respectively. Each of these slide groups needs first to be created as a separate slideshow, let's call them A, B, and C.
Then you assign the music tracks as Soundtracks for each of these slideshows.
Finally, you use Hyperlinks to go from the last slide of A to B, and from the last slide of B to C.
The total presentation will be ABC.
I hope this helps clear up your problem.
Good luck.

Fullscreen slideshow will not "slide" automatically

To make it easy for my collegues to show a slideshow in full screen with 5 sec. delay and a soft transistion, I have made one in Acrobat and expect people to run it with 1 click in their Acrobat Reader X. It seems like I can store these parameters in acrobat PRO X under: EDIT-PREFERENCES-FULLSCREEN. There you can take away the "Alert when document requests full screen", set the speed of the full screen slideshow and ask it to loop. THE PROBLEM: even after saving the parameter the file wont start automaticilly to change slides. YES I know i can change the settings back to advance the show in Reader on each computer, but the hole point is to make a Oneclick experience. How can I pack the parameters into the file once and for all? PS You need a PC without Acrobat (only the reader) to remake my problem.

I had the same problem. Here is what you need to do:
1. Collect all your videos in one folder on your Mac
2 Through iTune transfer them to iPad via photo. Now they will be on your iPad
3. Open your presentation in Keynote on iPad.
4. Delete he video.
5. paste he video from your folder with the video in your iPad
6. automate it to come as a cube.
All set to go

Slideshow in a slide

Is it possible to uas one of the great keynote templates one with a frame in it.
Inside the frame have a slideshow going. not to a different but un that one slide but just have a slideshow of a few pictures in it.
thanks

you could make a QT movie that's a slide show and put it behind the frame, OR you could just put in a few photos and make the builds automatic, making one photo fade out WHILE the next one fades in.
