Slideshow with caption

Hello...
I´ve done a slideshow with flash and xml. In the xml
file there are this:
<slideshow>
<pic url="my pic.jpg" caption="the text I want to show"
/>
</slideshow>
I have 3 pics right now but where do I put the code in the
fla? I tried to put it in different places but then all 3 pictures
have the saame text.. The code in fla is:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.Strong;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container2_mc",this.getNextHighestDepth());
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container1_mc",this.getNextHighestDepth());

this.attachMovie("loader","loader_mc",this.getNextHighestDepth());
loader_mc._x = 547.6;
loader_mc._y = 366.4;
container1_mc._x = 356;
container1_mc._y = 94;
container2_mc._x = 356;
container2_mc._y = 94;
var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object();
myMCL.addListener(myListener);
myListener.onLoadProgress =
function(target,bytesLoaded,bytesTotal){
loader_mc._alpha = 100;
var pct = Math.round(bytesLoaded/bytesTotal*100);
loader_mc.bar_mc._xscale = pct;
myListener.onLoadComplete = function(target){
loader_mc._alpha = 0;
fadeIn();
buttons_mc.attachMovie("prev","prev_mc",buttons_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
buttons_mc.attachMovie("next","next_mc",buttons_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
buttons_mc.next_mc._x = 960 - buttons_mc.next_mc._width - 45;
buttons_mc.next_mc._y = 475;
buttons_mc.prev_mc._x = 340;
buttons_mc.prev_mc._y = 475;
//-------------XML--------------------------//
var myXML:XML = new XML();

myMCL.loadClip(picArray[currentElement],currentContainer);
function fadeIn(){
new
Tween(currentContainer,"_alpha",Strong.easeOut,0,100,36,false);

Hi... I am looking for an inexpensive app for my macbook pro that I can put pictures and videos together into a slideshow with captions and music WITHOUT a watermark and that also will burn the slideshow to a DVD in its own app. Help?

The issue with the A1400 is that like most economy compact cameras, they will not have very fast focus times in indoor lighting situations. Many people have gone to entry level DSLR's (Canon T3i) or micro 4/3 cameras. They are fairly expensive, but a late model refurbished T3i can sometimes be found with a kit lens for about $300.00. With Auto and scene modes, as well as full manual modes, these are very versatile cameras that focus very quickly, even in lower lighting situations. Canon is not really into the micro 4/3 cameras, instead they are focusing on the new G7x and G1x cameras, which are way out of your price range. The A720 is still available used at some places such as KEH camera, but you'll need to check often as their stock changes constantly. Obviously the DSLR's don't use AA batteries, but the T3i is good for about 600 photos (or more) per charge.
My refurbished DSLR was practically brand new condition when I got it. I could not find any sign of wear at all, so I feel they are a real bargain. These are rugged cameras that are made to last. The A1400 is a $99.00 camera, so it's not intended for heavy usage, plus the image quality of a DSLR (even entry level) is far better than the A1400. That would be my recommendation.

Help with Captions, within Slideshows

I'm struggling with trying to figure out how to customize the size and location of caption boxes, within each image of a slideshow. It seems that, once an initial caption box has been set in the first image, it appears in all consecutive images at the same location and size, with no means of individually controlling them. Am I overlooking something? Is there a way to customize the size and location of all captions within one slideshow? Your help/advise would be greatly appreciated. ~Thank you

hi DubuqueIA,
what do you mean by "Follow the same steps given under "Slideshow with thumbnail" tu updated captions" ?? where are these steps?
i btw have the same problem: edit together active or not - it always changes the size of all my captions. i just want one of my captions to be wider.

Export the slideshow from Aperture as a .mov file and import it into iDVD.

Slideshows with Lightroom 4

Can I create slideshows on my Mac computer using Lightroom 4?

Here's my LR4 slideshow procedure, which will produce quality PDF and MP4 video output:
Lightroom 4.3 1080p Slideshow Procedure (for DSLR 2x3 aspect ratio images)
Make all tonal adjustments, etc. in the Develop module.
Add ‘Captions’ to be used on the slides in the Library module.
Export the images to ‘Specific folder’ and ‘Rename to’ ‘Custom Name – Sequence’ to retain sort order.
Use Export settings sRGB, 91 Quality, Width & Height 1539x1026, Sharpen for Screen Low. (NOTE: Images sharpen more during PDF creation and the ‘Reduced Size PDF’ processing.
Open in the Library module and select Sort: ‘File Name’ to set correct sort order.
In the Slideshow module select the ‘Widescreen’ template.
Make any required adjustments and set Layout Guides (L, R, T, B) = 10, 10, 10, 44.
For PDFs:From Slideshow module choose 'Export PDF Slideshow' with Quality 91 and Width & Height 1559x1080.
For MP4 Videos: From Slideshow module choose 'Export Video Slideshow' with 'Video Preset' 1080p.
The purpose of all this is to prevent LR from resizing the images in the Slideshow module, which causes softening and/or artifacts to appear in the slideshow output. Both the image files and template must be setup so that 1) the placed files fit the exact pixel dimensions inside the template, and 2) the template exactly fits the output resolution selected.
To add audio you will have to create a single (1) audio file to match the length of the slideshow, which means editing of the audio files outside LR. You can also choose 'Fit To Music,' but that won't work for PDF files since they use the slideshow timing set by the Adobe Reader. The end results looks good, but very simplistic compared to Photodex' ProShow slideshow transitions and effects options.
Thank you trshaner... I will be using your Lightroom Slideshow Procedure. I have no problem with taking extra steps in order to develop something nice to share with friends and family. Although in another year or so I will go shopping again for something better and hopefully by then Adobe will have created something that works well with Mac.

How do i set up a slideshow with pictures from multiple iphoto libraries?

How do i set up a slideshow with pictures from multiple iphoto libraries? One library is in my Macbook Harddrive, the other 2 libraries are in an external harddrive. Thank you!!

You can't, simply. An iPhoto Slideshow can only draw from a single library, so you'll need to get all the images into one.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie is on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price:
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $99
Final Cut Pro X $299
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 Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

I created a 23 minute slideshow with music. how can I share it? youtube and smugmug both say it is too large?

I created a 23 minute slideshow with music of family vacation. Youtube and smugmug both said it was too large to post for my family.
suggetions please?? I use to use Mobileme...

A few different ways about this. You could split the slide show into smaller sections that are withi the limits for posting and then post each section.
You could try a different encoding to make the file smaller. What settings did you use when you created and exported the slide show?

Will an iPhoto slideshow with music work on all computers in China?

I am making a promotional DVD for an education program in the US, and taking it to China to education fairs. If it is an iPhoto slideshow with music, will it work on all Chinese computers? I assume so, because since it is not video, I should not have to worry about different formats-right? I've got enough to worry about on this trip!
Prof. Fisher

On every single computer in China? Impossible to tell. But if you create a slideshow in iPhoto and send it to iDVD to be burned to a DVD then it will play on anything that plays DVD.

How do I download a slide show with captions and music to my IPad? It is not happening when I sync.

How do I download a slide show with captions and music to my IPad? It is not happening when I sync.

The way that you would transfer photos from iPhoto to the iPad would be to sync with iTunes. Connect the iPad to your Mac with the cable and launch iTunes. Select your iPad under the devices heading on the left. Then click on the Photos tab in the iTunes window on the right. You can select the folder from which you want to sync your photos in the drop down menu bar - so select iPhoto there. Then select the album or events that you want to sync from the windows below. After you have made your selections, click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
I am not sure how the iPad will handle a slide show in the photos app that was created on your Mac. You can create basic slide shows on the iPad using the different albums, events or faces that you have in the Photo app, but as for the captioning that you have already set up, I don't know how that will work in the app when you sync the slide show.

How do I create a slideshow with music and voiceover?

I am trying to create a slideshow with photos, music (iTunes playlist), and voiceover created in Garageband. I cannot figure out how to have both the voiceover and the music play during the slideshow. I also tried iDVD but ran into the same problem.
I also wanted certain songs to play during certain sets of pictures and I can't figure out how, other than to create separate slideshows for each song, how to set it up to show the photos for the duration of certain songs... if that is possible. However, my main issue is the first one - how or which program to use to combine photos (iPhoto), music (iTunes), and voiceover (GarageBand).

Use separate tracks for music and voiceover/narration so you can adjust volumes independently.
I also wanted certain songs to play during certain sets of pictures and I can't figure out how, other than to create separate slideshows for each song,
Use separate tracks for each song or use two tracks and alternate songs on these tracks so as to allow maximum alignment/overlap possibilities.

Slide photo and/or song to align beginnings and then drag the end photo "handle" left or right to change its duration to match the duration of your song.

Can I convert a pdf slideshow with narrative to a movie file? Using Pro version 8

I am working with a template software (Vacation Bible School) where I insert pictures and at the end, it plays a slideshow with narrative (already in the template) when you open it up and hit the spacebar. it works fine, but there are 5 different files and the company we got the template/pdf files from suggest for presentation purposes, I should just open up each file individually and start the slide show. it seems kind of clumsy having to open up each file individually, play it, close it and then go to the next file. It would be great if I could capture the slideshow as a movie file, then combine all 5 movie files into one file that can be played on a CD player (I use Sony Vegas studio and Nero software for this). I am using Acrobat Pro version 8. Any suggestions?

It can't be done in Acrobat.
I just did a Google search on "pdf slideshow to video" and saw a couple of third party products that claim to be able to do it. I have never had a need for that, and can't claim how well they work.

Spry Image Slideshow with Filmstrip doesn't work in IE, but works in Safari and Firefox

Hello,
The Spry slideshow with filmstrip wiget works fine in Firefox and Safari. However, it does not work in Internet Explorer. The slideshow looks like it is loading (the little circle spins), then it disappears and the slideshow is replaced with an empty space and a little white box with the red x (that normally signifies a missing picture of picture that can't load for some reason). Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I was hoping that the widget would work in Safari, Firefox, and IE. Does anyone know of another option for adding a slideshow that works in all three browsers?
Thanks!!

gatorgirl,
Here are the first lines in my template. The Spry Menu script src and link statements are the only two lines that have to be moved (on your template or any page for that matter) above the Spry Slideshow src and link statements. Just leave the Slideshow code in the same position that Dreamweaver inserts it.   When you create a new document from your template, Dreamweaver leaves it alone. Just set it and forget it.   I've wrestled with all sorts of other solutions listed on this forum and this is the fix that continues to work for me! It seems to me that the only reason this solution works is that javascript is a procedural language and some code in the Spry Slideshow javascript has some conflict (maybe a name/symbol problem) with the Spry Slideshow javascript. If someone else knows the absolute reason for this ordering problem, please feel free to come back and teach me!! Always ready to learn something new!!
I hope this helps you!
