Slow Photo Slideshows?

I have my 5G iPod preferences set for 2 seconds for every photo in Slideshow settings without transitions and it seems to take forever to get to the next photo.
Is this common? I'm used to the faster settings on my Nano.
Also, in my iPod preferences, I have the "photos at full resolution" unchecked.
Did I get a bad drive (I can feel it running during the slideshow even without a song playing? Should I get my iPod replaced?

I use the same settings and the slideshow moves right along at 2 seconds each. I wonder if the size of the files is an issue for you?

  • Photo Slideshow Speed

    How can I slow down the speed that my pictures do past using
    the photo slideshow template? Also is there an easy way to make my
    pictures all the same size? I only have Flash and I tried ifranview
    but I get error messages saying that it can't recognize my photo
    files.
    Thanks

    Your probem sounds similar to what I was exeriencing with iPhoto Slideshows and my ATV. On my MacBook the music and slideshow played perfectly. On my ATV one slideshow plays fine, with others the slideshows ends, before the music is over and both stop out of sync. Checked all the settings on the slideshow that works, against those that would and everything was the same. Very strange....

  • Photo slideshow for webpage

    Please help -
    When visitors open my homepage (I'm using Dreamweaver 8) I
    want them to see an image that changes (like a slideshow). Is Flash
    the best thing to use? I have tried using the photo slideshow
    template from Flash, but find that it is still necessary for my
    users to click the arrows in the "controller" in order to begin
    viewing the images. Is there a way to have the slideshow begin
    immediately and then continue looping?
    Thank you much for your expertise - it is much
    appreciated!

    I use resolution 72 which is really ugly if printed... I think watermark is distracting to the viewer
    Also, the Kodak "golden standard" 778x517 is often used for this purpose. While it's pretty close to 800x600, supposedly it displays a bit faster, especially true for slower systems
    As Rikk previously mentioned, the file export specification of "resolution" whatever the number (even 72) has no bearing on someone's ability to make a print from the file at whatever resolution they choose (within the limits of the pixel dimensions you make available); it's the pixel dimensions that will limit printed size/quality. Perhaps you meant that you use a jpeg "quality" setting of 72, which is indeed fairly low. That might even be set even lower to enable reasonably good web display yet discourage printing.
    As to use of watermarks, yes, I agree they can be distracting, but not necessarily. A watermark can be chosen that is a compromise--minimally distracting yet prominent enough to discourage some (maybe not many?) from making a print.
    As to the supposed (Kodak) "golden standard 778x517" : I wonder if you are thinking of 768 x 512? In any case, it's certainly not in any way a unique dimension that offers a special advantage in display speed. Sure it should load "a bit" faster than 800x600 since it contains a smaller number of pixels.

  • Problems with photo slideshow director HD version 6.1

    I have iPad mini with 12.6 gb capacity (4.2 gb available) and am using iOS 8.0.2.  I downloaded Photo Slideshow Director HD PRO version 6.01.  I have a Celebration of Life for a family member tomorrow.  I created a slideshow 49 min long, 369 photos. (from what other users wrote I didn't think a video of that length would be a problem).  In order to do anything with it, it has to be encoded and saved to my photo library.  I start the process and it gets about 30% there and the app just shuts down.  I've made sure my device does not lock.  It doesn't go to sleep,  the app just closes and my device goes back to my home screen.  I've also tried wifi transfer, transfer to my PC through iTunes, but nothing can happen till it's "encoded".  I've put in 2 emails to developer, no response.
    I know I could make multiple shorter clips, but I'm simply out of time and can't reload and edit all those pictures!
    Any suggestions? Thank You

    I would guess that the length of your slideshow would have something to do with your problem.
    Is this what you are using:
    http://www.iphone-to-ipad.com/blog/transfer-files-ipad-mac.html
    A video almost one hour long in HD will be of very considerable size which means any wireless transfer would be painfully slow and would only work with a very stable connection. Not ever having put together a video on an iPad (as I prefer my large screen iMac and using Final Cut, iMovie, iDVD, Motion, etc), one fact while editing and rendering video is: it needs a lot of RAM as well as enough empty hard drive space - at least on a computer. I do not know how well an iPad will cope with such processor demanding tasks.
    My recommendation would be that you export the images and then edit/process/render the slideshow on a computer or, at a minimum, transfer the slideshow in "pieces" - you should be able to combine the parts once on your computer. Just use iMovie to add them together.

  • How to create a photo slideshow in my movie

    Hello all,
    Im woking on my first movie with Premier Elements 12 and I can not figure out how to include a slideshow of pictures at the end of my movie.
    Of course I can drag the photos on the timeline and use trancients in between but there is nothing I can do with the picture like editting/cut parts off, make them black/white and use movement effects for example.
    Isnt this an option/included in Premiere lements 12 ?
    I just bought the software but also played around with the trial of Cyberlink Powerdirector which has this handy magic function to select all pictures at once and create different/random trancirents and effects and pictures could be editted also.
    This is what Im after but I can not find how to do this stuff in Premiere lements 12.
    Hope someone can help me out.
    Thatnks in advance

    Do you have Photoshop Elements 12 as well as Premiere Elements 12?
    What is this "movie" that the photo slideshow is going to be at the end of? A video? If so, what are the
    properties of that video...video and audio compressions, frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, file extension, pixel aspect ratio?
    What is your intended final product...DVD-VIDEO standard or widescreen on DVD disc, AVCHD on DVD disc, or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc?
    With the above information, I will suggest some approaches that you might want to look into.
    Thanks.

  • How to apply a specific music for each photo slideshow

    I'd like to setup a specific music for a specific photo slideshow, and to store that preferences, in some way, so that, on selecting a slideshow, automagically startup the specific song.
    Is it possible ?
    Seems not ... yet.

    You can do that by preparing the slideshow in iphoto instead of on the tv, you then have to ensure you sync the slideshow and the tunes you have used in the slideshow before playing it on the tv.

  • How to display a photo slideshow in Widescreen 16x9 format?

    I just bought a 5g iPod and the A/V connection kit. I can play a photo slideshow on my 16x9 TV, but it stretches the photos to fit the screen, so they are out of proper aspect ratio. Is there a way to tell my iPod that it should be displaying the photos on a 16x9 screen?
    I understand that there is a widescreen option in the Video playback menu, but this does not seem to have any effect on the output of photo slideshows.

    Jon,
    See if this works. It may or may not.
    Go to videos-->video settings-->Widescreen-->On
    See if now when you play the photo slideshow it works right.
    Now, if it doesn't then I don't think there is much you can do.
    Tell Apple about the issue (if the steps above don't solve it)
    Send Apple Your Feedback

  • HT3798 On iPod 160gb - how can I view album art full screen like in the menu half screen or photo slideshows?

    I remember responding to an apple customer satisfaction survey in 2009, when I purchased my iPod Classic. I suggested it should be possible to have album art viewed in full screen like in photo slideshows or how album art is presented on half the screen when the menu is navigated to the 'music' list. Does anyone know if apple has created an iPod Classic software update which includes this glaring omission?

    The progress bar is not the iPod disconnecting from the PC but rather the iPod reading in the library database from it's hard drive. It's safe to disconnect when told to.

  • Stop and start a photos slideshow

    Hi .. So I want to use the photos slide show to execute a presentation .. But this means I need to start the slideshow and then stop, present the slide (a photo of the slide in fact), and then continue to the next photo .. I.e. I want manual control of the slideshow. Is this possible without having to stop and restart the whole slideshow?
    Thanks.
    Btw keynote cannot handle my large ppt files, and photos/slideshow is the only other app I can find that outputs to the via and my tv/projector, hence I converted the talk to a jpeg and loaded it as a sequence of photos! It would be quite a lot easier if good reader could output to the VGA, or keynote display PDF files.

    Hi,
    If you do the slideshow from the opening screen (Picture Frame), the iPad allows for no control other than stopping the show completely. If you run the slideshow from within the Photo app, if you stop a slide (you have to touch it and move it a bit to get it to stop), then the whole slideshow stops and you have to restart it again in the usual way. So Craig is right. Just put your presentation in an album, open the album and manually swipe to the next photo when you're ready. The only practical way to get the photos onto the iPad is to sync them to the Photo Library album (you can't sync to the Saved Photo album and you can only get pictures in there either from Safari or from email- unless I'm missing something), which means you'll be losing the ones that are already there. But that shouldn't be a problem if you just store them on your main computer and synch them back after the presentation's done.

  • My Mac Air iphoto will display thumbnails but will not display photos in any way - single photo / slideshow etc - any ideas

    My Mac Air iphoto will display thumbnails but will not display photos in any way - single photo / slideshow etc - any ideas?

    Are you seeing this
    when you double click on a thumbnail file?  If so it's an indication that the file path/link between the thrumbnail and original, full sized file has been broken.  Therefore, and assuming you're running iPhoto 9 or later, try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • How to create a photo slideshow in imovie 11

    describe how to create a 200 photo slideshow from the start using imovie 11 with titles, transitions and music and then burn it to a dvd

    iMovie is to edit movies; creating a slideshow is easier in iPhoto. When finished, you can then move it to iMovie or iDVD to create a cool menu/theme and burn it.
