Slideshow question.

I am an Encore newbie and I am creating a slideshow that shows 4 different slideshows and loops back to the beginning...
SlidesA ==> SlidesB ==> SlidesC ==> SlidesD ==> SlidesA
For some reason SlidesB thinks there are 2 more slides than there actually are.  So instead of going from the last slide in SlidesB to the first slide in SlidesC, it shows the last slide (#36) in SlidesB, dips to black for a good 2 minutes (the DVD player show it playing slides /chapter 36 & 37) and then pops up the first slide in SlidesC.
Any ideas?
Jeff R.

Hi,
Do you have any audio in the slideshow B? If yes then is the duration of the audio greater than the duration of the slideshow? In this case the slideshow will dip to black till the time the audio is playing and when the audio ends it will execute the end action of the slideshow B  and play slideshow C.
Thanks,
Shuchi

  • Iphoto slideshow questions

    I am running iphoto 9.5.1 with OSX 10.9.3 I am making a slideshow that I will eventually export to an external HD. When I make a title for the first picture it does not save for some reason...I have to constantly redue it. Why?
    I don't see an option to save the slideshow and it seems to be auto-saving which is great, but that first picture's title won't save.
    Last question...when I have completed the slideshow can I just drag and drop it into my external HD?
    thanks

    , but it only works on my computer!
    Where do you want to play it?  If you want to create a video DVD that will play on TV sets with DVD players you need to use a video DVD authoring applicaiton like iDVD. Here's how:
    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.
    The following is important only if you don't already have iDVD on your Mac:
    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago. 
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them. 
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

  • IDVD Slideshow Question

    I exported an iPhoto slideshow to iDVD. I used the Ken Burns effect. I've got around 200 photos and it plays great, no problems but....
    heads have been cut off on three slides. Can I edit the individual slides right in iDVD or do I have to go back to iPhoto and then export all over again? That would be very time consuming.

    Sorry but you have to go back to iPhoto for edits. If double-clicking a slideshow just plays the slideshow and doesn't bring up the slideshow editor, the slideshow may have been created in iPhoto. Slideshows created in iPhoto are sent to iDVD as QuickTime movies, which means you can't edit them.
    If you want to make a change to an iPhoto slideshow, make the changes in iPhoto, send the slideshow to iDVD again, and replace the old slideshow with the new one.
    Tip: In map view, slideshows created in iPhoto have a movie icon in the upper-left corner. iDVD slideshows have a slideshow icon.
    Hope this answers your question.

  • IWeb Slideshow Question

    I have the following questions:
    1. I am using the photo template and slide show
    option. Within the slide show window is it possible
    to:
    a. maximise the slide show window in order to
    view each photo to the maximum window size
    b. I would like to disable the reflection option
    for photos viewed within the slide show window.
    c. is it possible to skip the photo template page
    and go direct to the slide show window?
    d. is it possible to create a scroll bar with the
    thumbnails?
    thanks so much. I appreciate any advise you can give
    me.
    Chris.

    Thank you so much.
    I had success with:
    - the reflections, these are now gone.
    - I managed to include the direct link to the slideshow page
    However, I spent some time with the settings for the slideshow window
    I think I might be doing something wrong as nothing changes.
    Also if I bypass the photo page template is it still possible to modify the settings for the slideshow window. I made these changes after I published the site to .Mac.
    Here is the section of my photo,js file:
    function startSlideshow()
    var url = slideshowURL;
    var slideshowWindowWidth = 1200;
    var slideshowWindowHeight = 1200;
    var options = slideshowWindowOptions();
    window.open(url, 'slideshowWindow', options);
    function startSlide(width, height, index)
    var url = slideshowURL;
    var options = slideshowWindowOptions(height, width);
    var slideIndexParameter = ((index < 0) ? '' : '?slideIndex='+index);
    window.open(url+slideIndexParameter, 'slideshowWindow', options);
    any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks!

  • Bridge cs3 preview and slideshow question

    Hi
    i have a question
    does bridge cs3 need cache (drive space) to preview a photo or to see my photo with the slideshow feature ?
    i mean does bridge need to render and store the photos in the database to let me see in the slideshow or browsing
    i don't talk about thumbs
    or does it on the fly?
    thanks

    If you don't need High Quality for thumbnails then select Quick Thumbnails in preferences.
    I think as soon as you point Bridge to a folder of images it goes to work caching the thumbnails and previews.  I'm using cs4, have forgotten how cs3 does it for quick thumbnails.  You could point Bridge to a new folder of jpegs and watch the rotating indicator status display at the bottom; and you might get more information by posting in the Bridge forum.

  • Creating a slideshow: Questions and Issues

    Greetings Premiere Users-
    I am completely new to using Premiere. I have been using iMovie to create slideshows but am completely frustrated by the program's inner workings.
    I have my images and audio in bins and now beginning to connect the pieces but am running into some problems.
    1. I don't understand how to setup the number of slides to the length of audio. Upon opening the Preferences panel and selecting "General" it appears that I need to enter some value with respect to "Video Transition Default Duration of "30 Frames" and the Still Image Default Duration of "150 Frames". What I don't comprehend is if I have 397 seconds of audio and 129 still images and I want to space them across the audio, what values should I use?
    2. My current project has 129 images which currently extends beyond my video. I selected the images, chose "Speed Duration", and entered 3:00 which would put my images well within the audio. The problem is that the first so many images have a space between them rather than being contiguous like the second half of them. I did select the "ripple" checkbox as I have read should be selected.
    3. This slideshow is going to be seen on a projector, is there a recommended size that I should create this in, e.g. 800x600, etc...?
    Thanks, and sorry to overload all these questions at once.
    doug

    Hey Doug,
    1.)  I assume you're editing on a 30fps sequence.  So you have 397 seconds of audio, which is 397 x 30fps = 11,910 frames worth of audio.  So take 11,910 and divide by 129 (photos) = 92 frames per image.  So in the Premiere Pro preferences, change the frame number to 92 frames.  Keep in mind, this will only affect any future images that you import or create in Premiere once this change has been made.  So you will have to remove your photos from the project bin and re-import them for the timing change to take effect.
    2.)  By selecting the ripple edit, shifting trailing clips button, this should take care of your problem.  Were the images at different time durations, or were all of them the same.
    3.)  Regarding your projects resolution, you need to find out if you want this project to be a widescreen (16:9) or standard (4:3) ratio.  Personally I would stick with widescreen since this is how 99.9% of video productions are nowadays. If this is what you want, I would create a 720p project.  This is 1280x720 and will playback nicely on your 800x600 projector.  You obviously will have the letterbox effect, black bars on the top and bottom of your screen.  If you would rather fill the projector screen, you can create a custom project and manually enter in your resolution of 800x600 (this will only work is you're going to playback the video file from a computer and not a video DVD, as you may know, DVDs res is locked at 720x480 (NTSF).  You can set up the custom res when creating a new sequence.  Or to keep things a little simplier, just create a DV 720x480 4:3 project. 
    Hope this helps.

  • Very Basic Slideshow question

    I have a question about creating a slideshow -- in the Help File, it says to Save as a file, and then says that if I want the show to automatically replay, select Loop.  Where do I select loop???  When I hit Save as a File, it asks for name of file, but does not ask anything else.  I know this is probably really easy, but I am going crazy.  Can someone please put me out of my misery?

    Are you making your slideshow using the option under the create button or a web gallery slideshow under the share button?
    I believe you only have the loop option for web galleries and it also depends which template you use when you first create your project.
    The slideshow and journal templates seem to loop automatically i.e after the last photo the sequence starts again from the first until the viewer presses pause/stop.
    Other templates such as standard and animated normally stop after the last slide. These web-gallery slideshows can be uploaded to Adobe or other web-sites for on line viewing.

  • Slideshow questions - scripting and watermarking

    These are 2 separate questions, so if you'd prefer I can post them separately.
    1. Is it possible to create a script whereby when a slideshow is playing, the viewer can select a button and have the DVD jump to a specific spot in another slideshow? I will be creating 2 versions of the same slideshow and would like the viewer to be able to reference one from the other.
    2. Is it possible to watermark or show filenames on the photos which are being played in the slideshow? I know I can probably batch process them through Photoshop but I was hoping to skip that step. I was thinking that I might be able to overlay the text as a subtitle if it were properly aligned?

    Thanks for the tip. I think I can figure that part out from following the instructions in the manual. I can also get around the 99 marker limit by creating separate tracks that end jump to each other.
    Is there a way, though, to show the filenames on the photos? I know that I could create a subtitle track to overlay it, but I'd be using the subtitle track for the button to jump to the other track.
    Should I batch process them in CS4 to overlay the filenames instead? Not that I know how to do that yet.

  • IDVD 6 / Slideshow Question

    I created a slideshow in iPhoto; then "shared" it to iDVD; then burned a copy onto a DVD. Now when I go back in directly to iDVD and select "Open an Existing Project" to select that project it's not available. Actually the filename is there (under "movies") but it's not in bold print (meaning I cannot select it). Do I have to send the project to iDVD (from iPhoto) each time I want to burn a copy? Any assistance is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Yes- you will need to edit and the resend it to iDVD.

  • Spry UI 1.7 slideshow question

    When i import the spry widget slideshowm into dreamweaver, all the photos line up on right after another right down the page.... not on top of each other...  The good news is that they show up fine when I preview in the browser.... Someone please help me find out how to make it look right in dreamweaver cause it makes it hard to work on a page that is messed up...
    also, what is the best way to insert new pictures and thumbnails, and even delete some of them.. i dont have as many pics as the widget comes with...
    thanks

    Question 1
    I never rely on the DW design view, I usually test directly in the browser.
    Having said that, there is a live view option that will show what it will look like in the browser.
    Question 2
    In design view, click on the image that you want to replace and in the properties pane change the source and the link to suit or point to the relevant files.

  • PDF Slideshow question.

    Hi! :-)
    Does somebody knows if the created pdf slideshows, can showing the images only, without having the surrounding black border?
    Can Photoshop Album Starter Edition, create pdf slideshows without black borders? How?
    If not, what program can do this trick?
    Maybe acrobat trial? Something else?
    Thanks!!! :-)

    THANKS VkSharma!!! ;-)
    It's a pity!
    I installed acrobat trial and I made the no-borders pdf, but album creates much more small sized files, so they're more comfortable for online sharing.
    THANKS AGAIN!!! :-)

  • Lightroom Slideshow Question regarding DVD copying.

    Greetings!
    I've just created a new slideshow with music which I've copied to a DVD+R as well as DVD+RW. All seems to go well but the music skips intermittently and I'm not able to figure out what I may being doing that would cause this issue. Photos are shown as they should be.

  • Lightroom 2.7 slideshow question

    Hi, is it possible to have Lighrtoom create a slideshow where TWO images are displayed per slide? If so, yippee!! How do I accomplish this? What do I edit?
    Thanks for your help,
    DLMST

    Yes. In the print module use Contact Sheet/Grid if the images are to be different. The limitation is that they will appear in same size cells. From the Print Job panel select a file resolution of 100ppi and a custom file dimension to determine the final size of the image.  EG. 100ppi @ 14.0x10.5 yeilds a 1440px x 1050px (15 in laptop) 
    You can print a batch by reordering them first so the image will appear in order on the slide. Or you can print them individually.  To make things easier, set Auto Import on and target the folder you will be saving to. Also create a smart Collection to pickup any files with the name you save the "prints" as, such as  - slideshow. 
    Now that the collections are visible in the slideshow module you only need to use the Print and Slideshow modules to accomplish a two-up slide.  LR3 makes things a little more flexible by allowing background colors on your slides and variable image sizes on one page.
    3rd party apps are wonderful, but cost more money. Your needs may justify that but for the occasional slideshow I think LR will do just fine.

  • Quick full screen slideshow question

    Hello, I'm so so close to finishing my first website with Adobe Muse, but there's just one thing that's keeping it from being perfect. I'm trying to create a website similar to this -- http://www.heatherannecampbell.com/ I've got all my photos ready, the navigation bar is all designed, but when I use the full screen slideshow widget, I can only either make it full screen, which obstructs my navigation bar or I can uncheck the full screen have my navigation bar shown, but the left and right columns just appear white - Like so http://imgur.com/oBRNAt7
    Thanks for your help!!

    Hello,
    Do you mean to say that you are unable to see the navigation bar when fullscreen is checked in Full screen Slideshow widget.
    If yes, then you just need to check the layers, Navigation bar needs to be on the top layer. Please refer to Screenshot below.
    You can share some screenshot of Plan view so that we can get better idea of what all setting you are using.
    Regard
