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.

LR2 Export jpeg slideshow stops before all slides exported

I have tried twice to export a slideshow of 300 slides. The first attempt stopped after 29 slides, the second stopped after 61 slides. No error messages appeared.
I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit, 4 GB memory and 179 GB free on my HDD.
How can I get LR2 to complete the export? Is this a bug?

Thank you. I checked the bug fix list for that release but couldn't see this one.
I tried the standard previews, but today's attempt exported only the first 7 files, followed by a file called "USA2008_3-007.jpeg.swp", then stopped.
I've decided to give up on this as we had no success with what we wanted to do. The slides were intended for import into Premiere Elements to produce a slideshow for use on a PAL TV, so I exported the slides at 720 x 576 (which my research tells me is the correct resolution for PAL TV) but when the resulting slideshow was played on TV the captions at the bottom of the slides were cut off. So, I will simply export the pictures from the Library module and use those.
Thanks for the responses anyway!

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.

Stopping a slide show

I just downloaded Photos for Mac and did a test drive on the new SlideShow features. I noticed that it is impossible to stop a slide show once it has been started. There appear to be no keyboard keys (not escape either) or mouse movements that respond during the slide show. The only thing that worked was shutting off the computer by holding down the power key. Any ideas?

Thanks for your response,
I removed the custom nav and let the slides flow into each other - and the project froze.
I can move the small group of slides in question into a blank project or a new project using our template and they play in HTML 5 without issue.
Also, if I enable the captivate playbar and skip directly to the slide right away, it will play. It is only when I let the project play as usual that it fails. I've tried hiding various slides to see if just one is causing an issue, but that wasn't able to do anything.

Slideshow Stops

My slideshow stops after a few slides and returns to iPhoto view. Any hints on what to do? Thanks

CB
If you can't run a slide show with iPhoto 4, then iPhoto 6 is not going to solve your problem.
iPhoto may give up on a slideshow if it can't keep up with the demand to load the photo files on time.
You are using OSX 10.4. How much RAM do you have? Do you keep a lot of applications open when trying to run the slideshow? How much free space do you have on your hard drive? The OS needs free space to use temporarily for caching and virtual memory. 10 to 15% free space is a rule of thumb.

How can I make the Adobe Muse slideshow stop on mouseover?

Using the Adobe Muse slideshow opens many possibilities and control elements. However, I have received many feedback inquiries from my customer, complaining they cannot stop the slideshow on mouse over. This can be quit a nuisance as someone is enjoying a photo with no means to stop it from fading or sliding to the next one (except when using thumbnails, clicking on those. Which is not always intuitive). Is there a way to tell the Muse slideshow widget to stop the slide when viewers mouse over the image and continue sliding / fading when viewers hoover of the image?
Thanks, any help appreciated!

You can't. The best you can do is click to stop it, but then the only way of starting it again is to reload the page. I believe Adobe are looking into ways of improving this in future releases. There are various workarounds: have a longer delay between slides, use a manual-only slideshow with back or next buttons (or arrows) or a combination of what you have already with these to make the best out of an imperfect situation.
It is not possible either to have a slideshow stop at the final image which is limiting, and another point that needs addressing. Sorry; this is probably not the answer you were looking for but hope you can now make some decisions/progress.

Multiple picture-buttons - How to stop the slide

Hi,
my problem:
A slide with a world map, some buttons as target-markers. If you click at one of these dots, a button with some information pops up (its all about visibility). A single click within this button close itself. It is possible to click any target so many time the user want to. It is also possible to open all text-buttons by hitting all the orange dots. Slide audio is 22 seconds long, so is the slide duration. How can i stop the slide up to zthe moment, the user hits the bottom-left navigation button (perpetualButton_AS3)?
I fear, the solution is quite simple, i just can't figure it out. Any help is very welcome, time is running out ... delivery of a teaser in less than 4 hours and still some video work to do.
Regards
Marc
btw: eLearning Suite 2.5 is running at this computer

Not sure if this would be what you want but the Event Handler Widget would allow you to either display timed Success captions for a given number of seconds or execute advanced actions to SHOW or HIDE captions when users click the dots. You can set preferences in the widget to Reset Success/Fail Criteria After Action to enable users to click on an object as many times as they want to repeat the action. Set the Pausing preferences to permanently pause the slide until the user clicks another button to proceed to the next slide.

Embedded animation always stops at slide 18 of 24 (but there are 38 slides!!)

I am trying to embed a software demonstration (walk-through) animation, created with Captivate. It has a total of 38 slides, and works perfectly on its own.
However, when I publish, and insert the resulting swf into my main Captivate lesson, it always stops at slide 18 (displays 18 of 24)... clicking the forward button shows blank screens after 18 and all the way to slide 38 (it displays slide 38 of 24 in the preview window)!!
Again, this animation works perfectly (either in preview or published) on its own.
I hate to keep asking so many questions lately. I do search the forum before I ask but nothing ever seems completely applicable!

Hi Shawn,
Thanks a lot ;o)
Unfortunately it's a technical limitation that makes it impossible to view the animation in preview mode. This is because when you preview from Captivate it actually creates the Captivate SWF and stores that in a temporary address on your PC. Since that temporary address changes for every project it's not possible to take this into account in the widget.
I have one workaround though. If you create a slide in your project at the very end and import all your animations to that (the regular way from Captivate) then it will also publish those animations to the temp dir and the Loader Widget would be able to pick them up. You would need to preview with F4 the first time to "publish" the entire SWF and assets to the temp dir. When you are done working on your project you can just delete that last slide and publish regularly and copy the animation SWFs to the published directory.
As for developing widgets there really isn't that many resources available that I know of. The way forward is to look at the stock widgets supplied by Adobe and then try and see how they work. Once you understand these you can begin creating your own.
Rod and Tristan Ward from Infosemantics also created something called Widget Factory. This is a new approach to AS3 widgets so that might be worth checking out for you as well. Here is the link: http://www.infosemantics.com.au/?q=node/26
This is how I got started but I must admit that for 80% of my needs I just create the functionality in Flash and totally skip the Widget API. It's just much quicker and much more stable. For some reason things tend to go a little bit crazy when you are developing stuff within the Widget API restrictions and it's extremely difficult to debug since the Widget wont work at all if it isn't played from within a Captivate movie. Most of the functionality that you can have in Widgets can be done directly in Flash as well and then you just import it as an animation. The advantage of Widgets is that a developer who can't use Flash can modify the behaviour directly in Captivate but if you have and know Flash then it's easier to change that in Flash directly.

Can I stop the slide audio (text to speech) when a quiz feedback caption with audio appears?

Hi there, We use text to speech on all our slides, however there is a problem we have been unable to solve. If we have audio on a quiz slide this continues to play when the feedback caption comes up. This means that if a learner clicks the answer quickly they hear the slide text and the caption text on top of each other. How can I stop the slide audio if the feedback caption appears. We have tried advanced actions to "stop triggered audio" and experimented with invisible text captions that have the audio added but have not solved it so far. Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this? Any help gratefully received, Many thanks Janet
PS We are using Captivate 8 with the installed Text to Speech voices

This is currently a common problem with audio in quiz slides of Captivate modules.
The configuration options for interactive objects on quiz slides to not allow the same level of control for audio playback that you have with normal interactive objects on other slides. (e.g. being able to stop other audio when something is clicked).
The Stop Triggered Audio action is often misunderstood. But as its name clearly indicates, it really only applies to stopping an audio clip that was TRIGGERED by another advanced action. That doesn't apply to background audio, slide level audio, or object level audio.
My suggestion is that you go back to your design and work out which of the two audio clips (the slide or the feedback audio) you can do without. Maybe your learners don't need them quite as much as you think.

Help!!! Can captivate stop between slides??

Hi
I am creating a demo through capitvate. Is there anyway for
capitvate to stop between slides and it be up to the presenter to
continue to the next slide?
Please help! I am desperate!
Simona

Hi Simona and welcome to our community
If you are wanting this behavior to occur by virtue of
recording, click Options > Recording Options... and configure
one of the Assessment modes.
If you are talking about a project you have already recorded,
click Insert > Click Box... or Insert > Button... and insert
a Click Box or Button object on each slide. The default nature of
these objects is to pause the project until your user interacts.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

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

Slideshow stops when multi-tasking - PC;Vista;LR3.4

I'd like the ability to play a Slideshow that doesn't stop when I try and multi-task on the PC.
For instance I like to have a slideshow running in one window and then use another window to select music or perform another task. However, as soon as I click on the other window the LR slideshow stops.
Bug or feature?
Thxs
Colin

You and me both. I rarely use Lr slideshow for this reason. I export after editing and use ACDSee for slideshows.
PS - Neither bug nor feature in my mind. It takes extra programming effort to maintain a full-screen slideshow when app loses focus. Adobe just didn't go the extra mile...

Slideshow stops after ca. 20 slides

I'm new to CS4 Master Collection and using Encore for slideshows. I created a slideshow in six segments and the DVD builds okay with audio, menu and some after effects intro. However, when I play the slideshow back, I get about 19 or 20 slides to advance before the show stops. If I fast forward the DVD player and then immediately hit play, the show begins again after missing typically one slide then progresses smoothly for approximately 20 more slides before stopping again. The slides are all 720x480 jpegs. The same problem occurs in each of the segments. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, the disk image plays correctly using the Apple DVD-player.
I am familiar with the fact that the slower you burn, the better. Therefore I burned the image to one DVD with Apple's DVD-burner at the slowest possible speed of 1x, and another copy using Toast Titanium's best possible writing method.
The oddest thing is that both DVD-disks stop after 7 minutes on the Yamaha-set, but play at a DVD-player integrated in a 'cheap' small tv! There is however a hesitation in the slideshow: it stops for a couple of seconds, but it continues after that! So the no-name DVD-player plays along where the Yamaha-player comes up with a blank screen!
Besides that, the no-name DVD-payer had its trouble with the transitions between pictures, I took them all out.
It seems to me that the vob-files are not 'connected' right, it must have something to do with the burning.
My Mac's DVD player: MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-85J, Revision: FCQ5, Protocol: ATAPI, Sockettype: Intern, Low power polling: Yes

I am having difficulties with iPhoto slideshow. The slide show stops in the middle of a presentation and the system crashes. I must power off to exit the app and restart my MacBook pro.

Wow. Okay...
I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.

Links to slideshow stopped working on non .mac published site

I was helping my friend redo his website in iWeb. It was previously done in iWeb, and worked fine when published to a folder and uploaded to his verizon account.
Today, when we exported and upload none of the links on the photo gallery pages worked. Clicking a photo to enlarge it found a broken link, and the slide show stopped working too.
I thought I forgot to do something, so I uploaded the old version of the site. That stopped working, too.
Am I missing something?

The Apple slideshow (the one built-in to iWeb) using the photo template is supposedly one of the ".Mac-only" features of iWeb. It uses some resources off the .Mac servers, so it probably won't work when the pages are hosted on other non-.Mac servers.
