Slideshow transitions

Does anyone know if third-party plug-ins are available for iPhoto slideshow transitions? Or, is there a way to edit the characteristics of an existing transition?
I was disappointed in the dissolve transition in iPhoto 5, in that the image brightness dims during the transition. This makes transitions between images that build on each other seem too obvious instead of allowing the new element to just fade into view (particularly noticeable when using a white background). This aspect appears unchanged in iPhoto 6.
I'd love to know if anyone else has been frustrated by this. Have you discovered a work-around, or is there another slideshow program that gives more control in this area but will still export to iDVD?

Frederick:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Haven't seen any 3rd party transitions available for iPhoto. If you don't use Ken Burns effects you can build your slideshow right in iDVD by importing from an album in iPhoto and add your transition in iDVD. You will be limited to only 1 transition per slideshow the the image quality is generally superior to that of the slideshows created in iPhoto and exported to iDVD.

  • Slideshow Transitions in iPhoto 3 won't export to QuickTime

    Hello,
    Would anyone be able to offer any suggestions/solutions to the problem I'm having with Slideshow transitions in iPhoto? I like the Cube transition, for example, and it appears on the screen when I tell iPhoto to play a slideshow that I am developing, but when I go to export same as a QuickTime movie, the transition in effect is Dissolve and not the specified Cube.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.
    Sincerely,
    ByTheLIghtOfQuiveringAspensMade

    BTLQAM:
    Can you give us some additional information regarding your setup: model, RAM, hard drive size and free space, system version, QT version, and exact iPhoto version?
    You will have to update to iPhoto 5 in order to be able to get other than the dissolve transition in your iPhoto QT slideshows.

  • SlideShow transition IE finally working except

    Well I finally got it to work with 2 small problems.
    Hopefully someone has come across this and knows if there is a solution.
    Problems:
    1) not everything is staying centered on the index page when changing the window width in IE browser and emulating ie7. It works in Safari and FireFox and my other pages in IE browser NOT emulating IE7.
    2) the shadow boxes are not working on the index page... again in IE browser and emulating ie7.

    The SlideShow transition fix:
    I added the following meta tag to my index page:
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
    The (Slideshow basic) did not work and I had to use the (SlideShow with filmstrip) as stated by (W Bell)... link provided by Gramps below.
    I could not install the slideshow with filmstrip directly into my page from the widget browser in dreamweaver...  From the widget browser I saved the (SlideShow with filmstrip) files to my hard drive and copied spry folders and html code into my page.

    That's correct I could not get the basic to work and had to use filmstrip... and strip out every thing that I did not need... the slideshow with filmstrip did not work when I used the (insert widget) in dreamweaver. as mentioned above. I am new and self taught myself, hope this helps.
    I also found it very helpful to use a code checker, links below

    I ran across the issue of the (panandzoom  going off the image and it showing black) I believe it has to do with your css code most likely width and height. below is the only css code I am using that relates the the slideshow.

  • IOS5 missing slideshow transitions?

    After upgrading my iPhone4 to iOS5, it would appear some of my Photo Slideshow Transitions are missing. In particular when I airplay a picture slideshow to an upgraded ATV2, it is stuck on Ken Burns transition which isn't even an option in my transitionsand  is too zoomed to see most of the faces. However this is not the case when I play the slide show on my iPhone without airplay, it is uses what ever transition is chosen again Ken Burns is not availalble.
    Having had the conversation on another thread with BobbyCo57, we established after the upgrade he had 9 transitions and I have 5.
    This follows this thread: iPhone4 to ATV2 slideshow - How do I stop Ken Burns effect?
    I figure I cannot turn Kenny Burns off if I can't see it. Below is what I see I'd like to get to 9 transitions, can anyone help?

    John,
    Why? Do you know? Where do I find that particular thread? The lynda.com tutorial is for CS3. They seem to have all the transitions...also the Library is much richer that what I have? Are there pluggins for the removed tools?
    Thanks, --bill

  • Faulty slideshow transitions in iPhoto 5.0.4

    Since upgrading to iPhoto 5.0.4 I am unable to successfully run any slideshow transitions except "Dissolve" on my PowerBook G4 17" with the 23" cinema display. ALL the transitions on my 20" FlatPanel work fine.
    I have tried re-installing 5.0.4, restarting my computer, repairing permissions in Disc Utility, transferring my iPhoto Library from the 20" FlatPanel to the 17" PowerBook, all without success. I would appreciate any help or suggestions with grateful thanks.
    PowerBook G4 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   With Apple 23" Cinema HD Display

    An update... I've discovered that whenever "dissolve" or "fade to black" is played for any photo in the slide show, all others then default to "dissolve". To me, this is clearly a bug! For example, when I set the overall default to be "cube", and all photos set to "default (cube)", it plays fine. When I adjust just one photo to "dissolve", then cube plays for all photos up to that one, then all subsequent photos play "dissolve", and this even continues when the slide show auto-repeats (even thought the fist ones in the show first played "cube")!! I have to quite iPhoto and restart to get back the cube transition. If I set the one photo to "fade to black", a very similar behaviour... all photos after the "fade to black" photo play "dissolve" (yes! not fade to black, but DISSOLVE!) I spent a good amount of time with Apple this week, all the way up to a product specialist. The 2nd level tech support seems to think it's an iPhoto bug, somehow in the way it behaves on the G4 sawtooth. The product specialist was a bit more cagey, suggesting that no one has ever called in with this complaint, and blaming my processor upgrade (a Sonnet 1.2G which has never given me any problem). So... please call in if you have this problem and make your voice heard!!

  • Slideshow transitions speeds and slide duration

    Yet again I'm updating a site created in a previous version of Muse and run into problems. Can anyone enlighten me?
    The site - www.edinburghblue.co.uk - contains two slideshows. One contains the site background images and the second contains rotating text information.
    In the original Muse site both slideshows had a Transition Speed of 0.5 seconds and the image duration was set to 5 seconds. Both slideshow changed in sync.
    Since opening and updating the site in Muse v4.1 Build 8 - this morning - the slideshows are now out of sync. I've been phaffing around with the settings but the bottomline is that the site doesn't look as slick as it once did.
    Has anyone encountered the same issue? If yes, how did you resolve it?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Thanks for the compliment Malcolm.
    On the face of it the slides do look in sync but for me there's almost a half second delay between the two shows.
    In the previous version of the site the background image changed at exactly the same time as the text.
    If you look closely there now appears to be a slight delay.
    I'm aware that Adobe provided us with more controls over slideshow transitions, which was most welcome.
    I just wondered if there were any guidelines anywhere on how to use them.
    It may be a case that different bandwidths are causing this slight outage - but that's me speaking off the top of my head!
    I'll muck around with the settings a bit more and see if I can achieve the same effect as the site once had.

  • Slideshow transitions are choppy

    Hello,
    I just upgraded to Lightroom 5 (CC) from 4 and now my slideshow transitions aren't smooth. I tried changing the duration but that didn't help.
    Anyone else experience this problem?

    I decided to look at my graphics card which turns out is older than I thought it was. It didn't support DirectX 10. I removed it, updated my native card's driver and it resolved the issue.

  • Slideshow Transition

    Aloha,
    I've created a slideshow using approx. 45 photos from iphoto and 1 song. I set the transitions for each photo separately (instead of the default cross dissolve) to mix it up a little. I've noticed that every time I use page peel it turns the photo grey (appears as though a grey screen filter was placed on top of photo) right before the page peel transition begins. Kind of annoying, does anyone have a work-around, besides avoiding the page peel altogether?
    Much appreciated!

    What did you put the Slideshow transition setting on? I think you the problem may be that you're selecting a photo folder and going directly to a photo. Once you select the folder of photos that you want to view as a slideshow, hit the play button on your iPod. It should then start the show.

  • IPhone photos slideshow transition setting..

    iPhone photos slideshow transition setting has 5 options (e.g. cube, dissolve, etc.).
    I hooked up iPhone to my TV to watch the photos and the setting doesn't seem to do
    anything. Am I missing something?

    I just compared my iPod classic to the iPhone and just now realized how limited the transition selection is! And, it's not the same for the classic and the iPhone (no ripple or cube on the classic).
    Anyway, I see the same thing here with the ADDED issue that some of the images don't display at a high resolution while playing, but if I go back and display one by one, they do. The classic DOES display the same as what would display on the screen, but it's transitions are simple by comparison.
    Wonder when we'll see these again.

  • Encore CS5 slideshow transitions not rendering reliably to DVD

    I'm trying to create a relatively simple slideshow DVD in Encore CS5 on Mac (10.6).  The slideshow is about 35 images long, and most of the transitions are cross-dissolves.  However, there are exceptions: a couple of the transitions have no effect (ie, snap from one slide to the next).  All of the slides but one are manual advance.
    The problem I'm having is that the cross-dissolve time (most are set to 3 seconds, vs. the default 2) seems to render as a variable length: hit the "next chapter" button on the DVD control, and the transition time might be the requested 3 seconds, but is occasionally zero seconds, or 1 second, or 2 seconds.  I haven't been able to find the rhyme or sense behind this, although I haven't devoted much time to studying it either.  The settings on each slide appear to be set correctly (ie, transition type set to "Cross-dissolve" and transition time set to 0:00:03:00) in the project.
    An additional complication comes from the one autofollow slide in the show: it automatically advances as expected, but at the next manual transition, it cross-dissolves, appears to pop back to the image, then does the cross-dissolve again, finally ending up in the correct slide.
    Due to project deadlines, I've given up trying to make this work in Encore and moved to a different product, but I'd appreciate any feedback on how to do this all correctly next time.

    Many users have problems with Encore slideshows. The major advantage is the manual advance. I don't use them, so have little to offer.
    The settings on each slide appear to be set correctly (ie, transition type set to "Cross-dissolve" and transition time set to 0:00:03:00) in the project.
    I worry that your "set x:xx IN THE PROJECT" means that you have not checked each slide duration. It is possible to have a project setting, but for individual slides to have been set to something else.

  • SOS - pic quality sharp thru slideshow transition, then "settles" pixel-y

    Hi, Desperate for immediate help b/c the slideshow I made has to be played later today at a memorial service. Also not sure whether or not I should post in iMovie or iDVD, but starting here.
    Created a slideshow, 115 images, cross dissolve transition (so I could "bulk" add the transition), 4 audio clips, and photoshop-created title and ending slides. I could SWEAR the first time I watched the slideshow WITHOUT transitions, every picture looked normal.
    Now when I watch the final product, I can see the new pic transition in and at the last second, when the picture is its sharpest, it's like it loses focus slightly and becomes pixel-y.
    Then just before it transitions out, it gets crisp again.
    Sound familiar to anyone? Any fixes?
    Thanks!
    Elizabeth

    Hi
    Please rephrase. I'm not smart enough to get it.
    If I do a SlideShow in iMovie HD 6 - Then I don't Use the Share to iDVD function from
    within iMovie. To me it's been harmfull in two ways
    • Resulting DVD is severely pixelated
    • Original in iMovie get's it's photos harmed = needs to be re-imported and re-built
    I do when done in iMovie. Close it [cmd-Q]
    Open iDVD and import the movie project.
    This will force iDVD to do the rendering and so much better.
    Else I use FotoMagico to do Slide Shows (incl in Roxio Toast™ 10 pro bundle)

  • Burned DVD slideshow transition

    I made a slideshow project on iDVD, and burned it on a disc.
    When I played it, I found one problem
    During the transitions, where the pictures are sliding in and out...when the transition stops, the picture becomes slightly brighter, and when it moves again, the picture slightly dims and slides out...ie, its not a "smooth transition" or "smooth slideshow"
    this "brightening" and "dimming" of the pictures during transitions doesnt happen when I directly play off of iDVD...only happened after I burned it on a DVD. I've tested this out on playing the DVD off a DVD player, and my Mac.
    can anyone help me on this??
    Thanks!

    The transitions don't work well with menu DVD players; if you experiment you will find some are worse than others. The problem is, slides in an iDVD slideshow are considered to be chapters and many players pause on Chapter changes.
    For best results, create your slideshows as movies in iPhoto or iMovie. I use Fotomagico and others like Photo to Movie; either of these commercial programs give you many great slideshow features.

  • Preview Slideshow Transitions Help

    Hi Folks, we're running OSX Mavericks and are troubleshooting this little issue: on all previous versions of Preview, one could run a full-screen slideshow using a group of photos/pdfs/whatever, and each 'slide' would transition to the next using a smooth crossfade effect.  Now I just get a a hard cut from one photo to the next; no smooth transition at all.  I've not found anything in Preferences that allows me to change this.  Our broadcast facility uses Preview extensively as a down-and-dirty get-it-on-the-air-quick photo display platform, and the hard cuts look really crappy and amateurish compared to Preview's old smooth crossfades.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

    In the Menu section of the preferences, try changing from hardware encoding to software encoding. Also try converting your slideshow to a track.

  • Slideshow transitions not rendering

    On a disk with 5 slideshows, the transitions were not rendered for the latter part of a single slideshow. Those transitions were "green screen."
    Hard drive has over 25 GB free.
    Everything else seems fine.

    There has been a problem in slideshows with more that 99 images. Slides in a slideshow are treated as chapters, and a sloideshow s a track. Tracks are limited to 99 chapters and until iDVD 6, all iDVD slideshows were limited to 99 slides. Apple crated somethong of a 'hack' in iDVD 6 that makes it possible to link together several tracks creating a slideshow of more than 99 images. The problem is, not all DVD playrers like the hack and fail/refuse/have problems in trying to play long slideshows.
    As far as the image quality,DVD are low resolution devices. NTSC DVDs are less than 0.3 megapixels. See Preparing images for DVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/17.html for suggested images sizes to be used in iDVD slideshows.
    For long slideshows, create them as movie in iPhoto or iMovie. Many of us like Photo to Movie or FotoMagico (which I use).

  • More slideshow transition effects

    Fade, horizontal, and vertical are nice but kind of boring.  Are there any plans to have more transition effects in slideshows, like some of the ones in PowerPoint like:
    - Blinds Horizontal
    - Blinds Vertical
    - Box In
    - Box Out
    - Checkerboard Across
    - Checkerboard Down
    Is there anyway to have different ones now through coding?
    Thank you,
    Gary

    Hi Gary
    You can use the available options with slideshows and if you want something specific then you can try to integrate third party sliders.
    Please feel free to add your suggestions in our ideas section.
    Thanks,
