Slideshows and photo motion

This seems like something that should be real simple, but I do not want motion on my photos when viewing them in a slideshow. I know that all I'm supposed to have to do is uncheck the ken burns effect box, but doing that has not made a difference.
I've selected single pictures, and unchecked the box, I've selected all and checked then unchecked them all. It doesn't make a difference. I still get that stupid motion on my photos during the slideshow. I have yet to see there be no motion on any photos.
Any ideas???

That little check box at the bottom does NOT seem to override my settings! I really want the KB on some pix, but others get too chopped up with it. Isn't working the way it is supposed to. Any ideas???
What's that slider underneath, btw? (start-end)
THANKS!

The "Ken Burns Effect" checkbox that shows up at the
bottom of the slideshow window is only for
over-riding the main settings.
You need to click the "Settings" button at the bottom
of the slideshow window and uncheck "Automatic Ken
Burns Effect" in the dialog box that comes up. This
setting is for the whole slideshow.

I wish to display slideshows and photos from my ipad air onto my 2014 samsung smart tv

I have an ipad air, and have just purchased a 2014 samsung smart tv. I have a wireless network, am I able to connect directly through the wireless router or do I have to have either the app smartview 2.0 or appletv? If I can do it directly through the wireless router to the tv what do I need to do on the Ipad.?
Thanks,
Mike

If you want to do it Wirelessly, you need something that can receive the wireless signal. such as an Apple Tv or Chromecast yes.
As has been said the Digital Av adapter will also work if you don't need it to be wireless.
Also depending on your TV, you may be able to wirelessly send Youtube videos to the Tv's YouTube player App, without any additional hardware or Apps.
I use my Samsung Blu Ray player for this, but it should work with the Tv's player also.

I have received a disk of photos which are avi files, what software do I need to download to be able to view the slideshow and save them within i-photo please

Having had some photos done at a photographers, they have passed me the disc of the slideshow, which is in avi format, however I cannot view it on my imac, I would be really grateful if someone could advise me what software I need to download that is compatible with the imac whereby I can view the slideshow and also whether I can then save the slideshow to iphoto. Hope you can help, I am not great with technology as you can probably guess.

I use Smart Converter which is free on the App Store. It is easy to use , just drag and drop the files to convert to Quicktime , takes no time and great results.

When viewing slideshow my photo playlist stops and randomly plays for a view seconds only

When I go to view a slideshow of photos the playlist I assigned to play either doesn't play or randomly kicks in during slideshow. I have assigned several different playlist to my photo slideshow and they all do the same thing. I am connected to a Mac. No problems with pictures just my playlist.

When I say playlist I mean music playlist.

Photos to large in slideshow and exceed the monitor display.

I have created a slideshow and the photos that are vertical or portrait are appearing too large to display instead of fitting to the screen. I have tried all aspects (tv, this screen, etc) and still the photo exceeds the display window. How do I fix this? I have ilife 09 version 8.0

This question probably be better in the elements forum. However if you crop or not depends on how much control you want for aligning the picture on the screen. In general the picture will fill the screen, But there will be times when you want to make sure a persons face is on the left 1/3 of the screen for example. When you crop or scale a picture is best to make sure it is the same size as the screen so there are no surprises.
Technically the apps generating the slideshow can determine if the full size photo will be a fill or fit, which is why its a good idea to scale or crop the photo's first. Fit means all the image will be in view and can result in bars either top/bottom or left/right. Whereas fill will scale a photo until the entire picture meets all four edges of the screen and can leave part of the image out of view.
As for what size to crop or scale to, that is depentant on the TV. Older TV's (pre-flat screen) were 720x480 or SD. Newer TV's are 1280x720 or 1440x1080.
Since you are burning to DVD and not Blu-ray you are limited to 720x480. Widescreen means the size of the pixel or the ratio I should say is no longer square which gives you a wide screen even though the resolution is the same.

Hi
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
only You can buy from Apple is
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
AppleMan1958
You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

Slideshow - low photo quality and resolution

In AP3 and slideshow mode I have tried to make some slideshows, but the images are of low quality and resolution. I guess this is due to my previews setting of 1680 x 1680 with a quality level of 6. By increasing the preview settings to 2560 x 2560 and quality 9, the images in the slideshow seems ok. But the increase in quality increases the size of the library file. One can choose to only apply the increased quality settings only to the images in the slideshow and then go back to the preference and change to the default setting of lower quality, but I find this rather cumbersome. Any solutions to a faster workflow?

As you have figured out, Aperture unfortunately re-uses the Preview image settings for its slideshow images. There's not much we can do about that short of waiting for an upgrade to give us the same quality settings for Slideshows as it does for any other type of export. That said, however...
If you're concerned about Preview storage requirements (totally legit concern, since it affects preview loading time) the "Preview photo quality" setting you choose in Preferences->Previews can have a huge effect on file size without much perceptible change in quality at the higher settings. For most images, for instance, I can't tell the difference between a "quality 7" Preview and a "quality 10" Preview. Yet the difference in file size can be a factor of 10! That's much bigger change in file size than going from 70% to 100% in pixel resolution alone.
So I'd suggest you err on the side of larger resolution but (slightly) lower quality previews to retain maximum detail. Do your images typically reveal the difference between quality "9" and "7"?

Slideshow in "photos" only lasts for few minutes and spontanoeous shift to homepage.

Don't worry. If something was up, OnyX would have given you proper warnings and recommendations. On your next render, can you set the render logging to Extra per Frame Info? Also, if you don't mind, untwirl the render info and see, which parts it is processing. Either the life info reveals long file read and write times or the render log may reveal odd variations in teh per-frame render times. A common problem for instance with multi-processing are the first few frames being rendered very fast, but then a longer gap occuring inbetween because the program chokes on writing too many files at once. Similar patterns sometimes appear with network setups or - ultimately relevant for you - with RAIDs that use large cache drives. In the latter case often reducing or turning off the harddrive's internal cahe using the vendor's configuration tool can improve things...

Can i make a project with photo slideshows and videos mixed?

Hi, I just bought my mac yesterday, i'm new at everything then. I want to know if i can make a movie with photo slideshows and videos in between. For example, i would like to place all my photos and videos from a trip in chronological order, so when i click play there's going to be like ten photos, then a 2minute video, then photos again and so on... which program or application do you recommend for this?

Per your description, this should not be a problem from within iMovie '08. Adding slideshows created in iPhoto (contain "Tween" tracks that iMovie '08 doesn't like) or dropping too many photos on top of a single video clip (iMovie '08 can be touchy about initial placement of dropped photos) can, however, create potential problems.

I have used still photos to make a Quick Time movie using FCE. The DVD made using i-DVD looks somewhat grainy and the motion isn’t smooth when played on my TV. Other DVD’s I have made play much better and I am wondering if the problem is my Quick Time movie settings. The Dimensions and size of the problem movie are 1920X1080 and 584 MB respectively, while the movies that play better have Dimensions of 853X480 and are about 1.3 GB in size. Is this the source of my problem and how do I change things for the better.

Are you exporting to QuickTime Movie, or to QuickTime Conversion? For iDVD, you need to export to QuickTime Movie. Exporting to QT Conversion will kill the quality if you are moving the video from FCE to iDVD.
The file size per se makes no difference.
What size (pixel dimensions) are the photos that you put into your 1920x1080 sequence? Also, exactly what are the sequence properties ... is it 1920x1080i60 ... or i50? In North America it should be i60.
853X480 is an odd frame size. Where are you seeing this number? It would appear to be DV-NTSC, which has a frame size of 720x480. Your 1920x1080 frame size would not be DV-NTSC, it would be Apple Intermediate Codec. DV and AIC will look different, for sure.
Also, your quality setting in iDVD can affect the final video. You may want to check that also (in iDVD Preferences > Projects). Set it to Professional Quality if at all possible.

How do i create a platform to allow uploads of videos and photos for custom slideshows?

How do I create a platform that will allow for uploads of videos and photos to allow the creation of custom slideshows?

I built a System Message HTA for my previous employer that was used in a computer lab setting. It was a nice way to inform the users about things happening in the lab, as well as a nice way to ensure people knew who to contact if there were problems.
The HTA lived on a network UNC and each computer had a shortcut to the HTA in their All Users Startup folder (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup). While you could push the shortcut with GPP, likes the others recommended, that's
about all you should do with Group Policy. This was neat - I had the HTA run custom .cmd files (in a hidden window) when it loaded (the Windows_onLoad subroutine) and then when it was closed by the user (button press that called an ExitProgram subroutine).
This allow me to capture who was logged on, how long the HTA was open, and what computer they were using. In a computer lab such as that one, it was nice to have additional way to track who was using what computer and when. Good luck and let us know if there
are any more questions - I really enjoyed that project.
Edit: Added additional info.

I want to create a dvd photo slideshow and soundtrack

that can be played on any dvd player...
Can I use the Panther version of i-dvd for this?
I've viewed the i-dvd tutorial, but is there a more in-depth training? I don't know how to edit the music together!
Thanks.

It can be done yes - my wife has had loads of fun
with this. Recommended though - do not upgrade to
Quicktime 7.1 yet if you plan to use animated menus
(many of the default themes use these) with .mp3
music.
My wife uses GarageBand to essentially cut and paste
the tracks together to get one long music track and
then adds that to the music portion of the slide
show. That way the music doesn't just start
repeating itself after awhile.
I believe you have at least two options for photo
slide shows. One is to use iPhoto and create an
album and then slideshow, and choose Share->iDVD
which will import it using whatever effects you've
added.
The second is either iMovie or iDVD direct (can't
recall, and I'm at work) - just add the photos,
specifiy the transitions, and what music to play.
Very cool, although I ended up choosing music that
was very somber and it almost looked like a tribute
to my fallen family. My wife has since added
more upbeat music. Good luck!
Wow, thanks alot! The part about GarageBand was really helpful. Should i get iLife?
Also, were you able to view your finished dvd on any dvd player? i've heard there are compatability problems. i have to send the finished product to a third party for screening.

IWeb and Photo Album/Slideshows

My apologies if this topic has been done before. But I didn't find anything specific to answer my question here on the board.
For starters, I'm new to iWeb. Actually, aside from a .MAC account I'm new to web design period. I was wondering if someone could walk me through the process of adding a slideshow or photo album to my yet to be published iWeb site.
Thanks in advance,
