Slideshow text for individual slides in LR 4.4

Is it possible to place text in individual slides in LR 4.4? If so, how? Currently have only been able to have text apply to all slides.

In slideshows you can display metadata fields as text - for instance <Title> or <Caption>.
Give each photo a different caption (do this in Libarary) then <Caption> in the slide show will display individual text for each photo.
Same goes for <Title>.

  • How do I add text to individual slides in slideshow to make a caption?

    How do I add text to individual slides in a slideshow in order to make a caption on each slide?

    It will depend on the theme you are using for the slide show.
    For some themes you can add custom text or metadata to the slide as captions, for example the "Classic" theme.  Use the "Selected Slides" tab and enable "Text".

  • IPhoto '11 Saved Slideshow not saving settings for individual slides

    Please, need help in iPhoto '11 with Saved Slideshows. I will try rephrasing my question as I received no answers when I posted yesterday. I create my Saved Slideshow by choosing File>New>Slideshow. It then shows up at the bottom of my Source List under Slideshows. I am trying to have individual settings for each slide: timing, transition, and Ken Burns effect. I check each box in the "This Slide" menu and type in what I want. When I exit the Saved Slideshow the first two settings are saved and as I left them, but the KB box is no longer checked. It works fine when I click "Preview." I have carefully read all the forum discussions dating back to last fall and see that I am not the only one with the problem. Like others I noticed that the KB effect won't "stick" only on certain slides, mostly Landscape images. KB settings for Portrait images seem to "hold." I'm not a novice in creating Saved Slideshows. I've done this in iPhoto '08 with no problem at all. I reported this to Apple as a possible bug. I feel like there is now no way I can make the slideshow I want to burn to a DVD to share with family and view on a TV. As far as I can tell you can't do KB effects for individual slides in the latest version of iDVD without having made a Saved Slideshow in iPhoto first. Can anyone help me? I am so frustrated.

    I am 99% sure that this has something to do with how NEF files work. If I understand them correctly, the original raw data is stored in one portion of the file and then versions of the file are stored within it (these are the 'versions' that you can make in NX2).  The versions are just whatever mathematical transformations are applied to the raw data to get the version of the image that you want to see.  It is a brilliant way to store information and many versions of photos (different sizes of crops, b/w, colour, sepia, etc...) in their highest possible resolution without taking up an inordinate amount of disk space.  The raw data are huge, but each version only adds a tiny bit to the size.
    The problem with iPhoto is that it can only see the raw data - not the metadata containing all of the transformations to get the edited version of the photo. This means that if you load the photos  into the iphoto library as nef files and then edit them with an external editor (i.e. NX2), the files will be edited, and when you open them again in NX2 from iPhoto, then you'll see the edits, but the edited version will not be visible in iPhoto. If you work with NX2 and iPhoto (as I do), you basically need to save your edited versions of files as .jpg or .tiff and then re-import them into iPhoto.  It is a bit of a pain, but I am sure that it could be fixed in a future version of iPhoto.
    Cheers.

  • Need to export audio for individual slides from slideshow recording

    I have a Captivate project that was recorded using full motion video whilst navigating through a PowerPoint slideshow. Some of the slides have now been updated, and I need to break up the original recording and extract audio for each individual slide. This will also make incremental updates easier for me going forward.
    Is there any way to do this using Captivate?
    Many thanks in advance for any advice you can provide.
    Ron.

    Hi Ron.
    Do you know that each clip you record during captivate is saved as an individual Wav file?
    If you go do the Audio Menu, and then Audio Management you can see which wav file is attached to which slide.
    Are you using captivate 5?
    If you are, then the next step is to click on the speaker icon for the slides on the left side of the screen, and you can edit the audio track as needed or cut out the parts as needed....
    If this is what your doing I can explain it better, just not sure if this is what your after.
    Ben.

  • Random changes when changing setting for individual slide in a slideshow

    I've used iPhoto for years and produced many slideshows. However, now when I try to use Ken Burns Effect for an individual slide, I click on the "start" area, adjust my slide, click on "end," and then iPhoto jumps to a totally different slide in the slideshow. When I go back to the slide I wanted to work with, nothing was saved, and the same random change of picture happens.
    Actually, the Ken Burns Effect hasn't worked correctly on ANY slide I've tried.
    Also, when I try to rearrange the slide order, the slides may stay in the correct order for a few seconds, but then a slide may jump four slides to the right (and again out of order). This behavior is strange and random. It is infuriating and I don't know what to do.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    ALSO, when I export a slideshow with music, the song plays fine for a few minutes, but then another song starts and the two songs are playing on top of each other (actually, it may be the same song playing over itself too).
    What gives?!

    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

  • Slideshow Timing - Changing Individual Slide Timing

    in iPhoto '11 is there any way to change the timing of an individual slide? I'm preparing a slideshow of pictures for a Thanksgiving service where the pastor wants a text slide every couple minutes with some words he wants the congregation to speak. These slides would need more time than the other picture slides. I've already created the text slides in Photoshop, saved them as JPEGS and inserted them into the right places in the slideshow.

    That option is only available for some themes and not others.
    Classic
    Shatter
    Ken Burns
    The others themes don't have this feature.
    Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
    iMovie, on every Mac sold, as is iDVD.
    Others, in order of price:
    PhotoPresenter $29
    PhotoToMovie $49.95
    PulpMotion $129
    FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
    Final Cut Express $199
    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 Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

  • I'm in Lightroom 4 and trying to type text into individual slides and the text box does not let me

    In help Lightroom 4 tells me to go custom text pop-up in the slideshow module and choose a metadata option. All I want to do is add some text to some of the slides in my slide show. Since text and or caption options are not avaliabe I tried using the title option which brought up a text box that I could place on the screen but NOT type into, why not? what am I missing here? Also after editing the 490 photos I want to put them onto a DVD as an OTHG 2011 file to give to my backpacking group but Lightfoom does not explain how to create these DVDs. Thanks for your help. Hart 

    When you set that popup to 'Title', say, the slides will get a label that is filled in from the 'title' metadata, which you set for each photo in the Library Module.
    Try it.

  • Why is the Ken Burns effect not responding to individual slide settings?

    First try creating a slide show in iPhoto'11 (I've used previous versions on older Macs w no probs).  Ken Burns eff for individual slide is no longer responding for ex when I try to set a time for slide or any other option for that matter.  It seemed to work OK when I first tried it but then the KB screen went 'dead' for individual settings.  Any ideas on what to do?

    Yeah I misread part of your post but am happy to have helped in some way.

    Strange. That does sound like some sort of bug, though. I wonder how the poster figured that little fix out?
    Thanks for the star

    Hi Atul,
    I think you can enter short description & long text seprately for a WBS while creating entire struture of project in PS only. I don't think other than PS you will be able to enter short & long text for individual WBS.

  • How to add audio to individual slides?

    According to the Keynote User Guide 2009, on page 70, it is possible to add a sound file to an individual file so that the sound stops when you go to the next slide and you can use a different sound file. What I want to do is use three or four songs on one power point presentation. It says you can do this but does not tell HOW to do it! There is an illustration of how to add sound for an entire slide show, but not for individuals slides. When you place the sound file in the window in the Inspector it goes for the entire show. But not indication how to do it for individual slides. Please inform, thank you.

    Just drag the audio file onto the slide, and it will play when the slide appears. You can also use Builds to start and stop the audio.

  • Slideshow plays first 2 slides then stops?  (its ok when I export to QT)

    Have a slideshow of 16 individual slides. When i try to play them back in Keynote only the first 2 play, then the music continues but no more slides come up.
    It plays back fine (all 16 slides) when I export to QT and watch it down.
    Any ideas how I can get it to play back in its entirety while still in Keynote?
    Thanks!

    You'll lose handles and filters and speed changes, that's just the way it works, unless you render out a movie and use it to replace the current clips first. You shouldn't lose handles, you should be able to extend the clip in Motion to the full amount of media.

  • Keynote ver. 3: setting individual slide sizes?

    Hi, this is the first question I've ever posted in an online discussion group (I can't afford to pull out any more hair).
    Brief background: I'm using Keynote to assemble a presentation for an annual architectural design awards program; this is my first time in six years not using PowerPoint, one of many reasons being that I could never manually adjust slide orientation but rather had to go with 100% portrait or landscape. The images that firms submit are always a mixed bag of horizontal and vertical images and it's a pain having to resize half (read: 500) of them -- plus I always get a few complaints that I've compromised the clarity of their professionally-photographed building details. bah!
    Is there a trick to accomplishing this in Keynote? I'm using the "slide size" feature in the document inspector, but it's only letting me make across-the-board changes, not slide by slide. Any thoughts? Thanks!

    Welcome to the discussion board, weirhaus.
    I'm not sure I really understand your question. Keynote can't set sizes for individual slides, but this shouldn't be a problem. All projectors have a "native" orientation of landscape, and a native resolution (800 X 600, 1024 X768, etc.). This is just like your computer monitor. Changing the orientation of the slides in Keynote will not change the resolution or orientation of the projector itself (just as it wouldn't change your monitor's orientation or resolution), and orienting the slides as portrait will only mean that you are cutting off the sides of the display -- it would be exactly equivalent to simply putting the same image onto a black landscape slide of the same height as the "portrait" slide.
    As for the "clarity" of the images, the resolution you have to work with is the resolution of the projector -- if you project a 4000 pixel tall image on a projector with a native height of 768 pixels, you will necessarily lose some resolution, and there is very little that can be done.
    Can you explain a bit more what you need to do?

  • Can i set the timing for individual photos in a slideshow

    there are text pages that need to be read but not at a 4 second speed
    it has to be slower more time
    syncing to music i compose is a must
    can each individual photo have its own time
    i hope so or else they ruined a wonderful product
    with this limitation

    Glen:
    Yes, you can. Under the slide there's a button titled "Adjust'. Click on it and you can set the time for that slide, the transition, etc.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Can I create iWeb hyperlinks from individual slides in slideshow?

    I have made a slideshow in iPhoto and dragged it onto my iWeb homepage.   I now want to make links between each individual slide and one of my pages.  Is this possible.  When I click the link icon in the inspector the slides on the slideshow will not highlight to allow links to be made.  Is there another way to do this?Thanks.

    I don't know about the iWeb slideshow as I don't use it but there are lots of choices for a banner/slideshow that will do what you want...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Banner-Slideshow/Action-Banner.html
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Banner-Slideshow/Conveyor-Belt.html
    The JQuery Anything slider will do a lot more than most. You can add text, links and movies as slides...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Banner-Slideshow/Anything-JQuery-Slider.html
    I haven't seen anybody do that with the iWeb slideshow - yet!
    Wow, Nivo and Galleria, shown on subsequent pages, can all be adapted to use hyperlinks.

  • Making it easier to award points for individual answers on the same slide.

    Hi
    One of my biggest requests would be for it to be made a lot easier to award points for individual answers.
    For example: I would like to use the 'fill in the blanks' quiz to create something that is reffered to in educational circles as 'cloze procedure'. Basically I would like to create an entire slide of text with many blank areas that need to be filled in. This is possible at the moment but it is only possible to award points based on every single answer being correct. I would like to award individual points for each correct answer on the slide.
    At the moment this can be done with a lot of complex scripting but I would like to be able to do it at the push of a button.
    Cheers
