Slideshow with keywords

I'm trying to create a slideshow (with ken burns effect) and add my custom keywords on the bottom of each picture. Is this feasible? I can add "Text" to the slideshow, but the "keywords" option is not available.

As another work-around, that I sometimes use, set the free BorderFX plug-in (BorderFX - BorderFX) to create an annotated version of the image. You can write the keywords directly onto the image or onto a custom border of the image. This is highly customizable. Just add a textbox and set it to show the IPTC field "Keywords".
Then use the annotated versions of your image in the slideshow.
For example: The keywords written onto the border below the image.

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 make a slideshow with iPhoto fo rmy mother and view on my appleTV. I guess i need to know the best/easiest way. Do i create a slideshow in iPhoto and then it will automatically pop up on my apple TV Photos? or is it really not that easy? i don't want to do airplay......i would like to sit and enjoy it with her.

icloud sync would only be an option if you login with your appleID
so think flickr is the easy way

Lightroom 2.3 stops responding with keyword reorg (win 64bit - Vista)

I am trying to re-organise my keywords - making them more heirarchical, and renaming some to keep things tidy. In doing this I'm constantly getting LR2.3 stop responding.
Some background info:
Now I have a fair few images in my current catalog - 40,000 (approx), which is stored on a dedicated WD raptor drive - which is the fastest drive I have. My CR2 raw files are split between my local disk (images being worked on), and a NAS device (older images). The Catalog is 1.3MB in size.
I would consider the quantity of images in my catalog and my setup to be something resembling that of a standard professional configuration, and I would have hoped that by version 2.3, the Lightroom code would have been better optimised to deal with the handling of large quantity metadata updates. I can only presume that Adobe have a lot more functional design and code optimisation on their to-do list for future revisions of LR - at least I'm desperately hoping so! The problem appears to be this:
In my keyword heirarchy, if I rename a top level keyword to something new, then it has to amend all image records in the database (catalog) - most of the 40,000 in my case, and I appreciate that this takes time to do. What LR doesn't do whilst these updates are taking place, is give any user feedback - it simply seems to stop functioning until it's ready to hand back user control to the operating system. The thing is, as you haven't got a clue what's going on, you just assume that the application has crashed - and for all I know it may have as all I see if I try to interact with lightroom during the hang is my task bar reporting that the application is "(not responding)". Looking at the Resource Monitor in Vista there seems to be a large network load during the time of the hanging - now I can't understand this as LR should simply be updating the records in the catalog which is on a local drive, and not having a need to access my raw files, many of which are on a network drive. If this is the cause of the slow down then it shows that there is a desperate need for revision of the functionality of Metadata updates within LR.
I'm just hoping that Adobe take stock and for future revisions of LR, concentrate on performance issues, and amending of functionality or code structure to better tune the handling of data, rather than just adding more tools and functionality to the release which slows the app even further. I'm just hoping that LR will fulfil my needs at a professional level at some point in the near future as this app is core to the running of my business - and at the moment it's having an impact on my ability to do exactly that!
Anyone else with performance issues like this?
Thanks, Paul A

This has nothing to do with network access. I have been running the Winessentials Process Monitor app to try to figure out what's going on and I firmly believe this to be an issue with the Lightroom code. Once LR stops responding, the Lightroom process seems to go into an endless loop consuming memory on each iteration (I.e. a memory leak). Process Explorer shows every file handle and (as the directory of images I am displaying holds locally stored images only) none of the file handles are for network based files - all local files. This is what it's using in a nutshell:
The catalog file (2 handles on this)
The Catalog journal file
the thubnail cache (2 handles on this)
a whole load of internet explorer data files inc: history.ie5\index.dat; cookies\index.dat; Content.ie5\index.dat (no idea why it requires IE data access)
a couple of truetype fonts
a few temporary files in the user temp folder
loads of windows device files
access to the C:\Program FilesCommon Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS4\Client\4.0.1 directory (even though I don't have version cue installed to my knowledge! - certainly no service running for this)
Private Bytes is now sitting at 1.9GB (RAM being used by LR) and its continually on the up.
During the hang, LR is trying to spawn a new thread and Process Explorer is reporting this as "Thread Lightroom.exe (6008): 6040" then moments later <Error Opening Thread>, then it loops, each time more memory is taken up.
Since updating this message the memory usage by LR is now at 2GB!
This has completely stopped responding now!
**UPDATE** After an hour of being non-responsive, LR burst back to life. I just amended one of the keyword tag options again (this tag matches against 21,000 images), removing the 'export with keywords' option, clicked OK and it's stopped responding again!

I HAD the same PROBLEM

Problems with keywords assignment (hierarchy is included)

Hi group,
this probably happens after I was letting Lightroom to a catalog optimization, but I am not quiet sure about this.
So what happens: As you know, you can create a keyword tag hierarchy and sometimes LR does this automatically.
If I now do some keyword assignments in the library mode (right panel), then these keywords get replaced by a hierarchy-to-keyword string.
E.g. if I enter a keyword 'female' and LR has a hierarchy for this (e.g. female and male are sup-levels of person), then the keyword tag entry area contains the following: person > female. If e.g. I assign both male and female e to an image, then I get as result: person > female, person > male.
This blows up the list and does not make it very readable.
Does anybody knows how to stop LR doing this? If haven't found any flag value in the options.
Thanks in advance
John

John, I think this is just part of the poor design of the key-wording feature. There are many oddities. I got my initial keyword list from D65. I found that when I use the "Enter Keywords" view of the keywords assigned to a particular image, many of them show the hierarchy they are part of, as if I had selected the "Keyword & Containing Keywords" option, but some do not. Adobe told D65 that this is related to how you create the hierarchical entries. If you create a keyword and use the "Create keyword tag inside XXXXX" option, in use it will act differently than if you drag-and-drop a keyword into an hierarchical relationship. This is completely at odds with proper programming practice! I have also found today (in LR4, by the way) that if I sync from an image with keywords to an image without keywords immediately to its left, I get duplications of keywords in the rightmost image, as if the rightmost image had updated the left one, and it had reflected the sync back to the originating image. This does not happen if I sync from the leftmost image to the rightmost one. So I went into the keyword list and unchecked that keyword for the image that had the duplication. Now I have the keyword just once, but there's no check beside it in the keyword list showing that it is being used. I'm also getting duplicates of nested keywords popping up at the top level of the hierarchy. I've just realized that this has been happening for some time. The whole keyword feature is a mess. Adobe needs to:
1. fix the keyword feature so that it works in a simple, consistent and predictable manner
2. provide users with a documentation update to explain how it now works
3. provide a cleanup utility of some sort (if necessary) to let us get our keywords rationalized
Perhaps step 0. should be "stop ignoring and/or denying the keyword problem".
I've just gotten into such a mess with my latest batch of imported photos that I'm going to have to delete all assigned keywords, including those added on import, and start again. I am not amused.

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.

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 whichever you want.

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.
how to set it up to show the photos for the duration of certain songs... if that is possible.
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!
