Speed up slide show?

Anyone know any way to get the iPod to play a slideshow at maximum speed, other than setting it to manual advance and clicking a lot? One slide every 2 seconds ain't fast enough for me when I want to review all the slides in a folder...
TIA for any help or pointers to help.

I don't think you can in the free version Isabel.

Controlling Speed In Slide Shows???

Is there a way to control the speed in which the pictures move through the slide show? I feel that the initial setting is to quick.

Bug in full screen slide show: Speed-values under 1.0 don't work, they will be zero. Maybe a german problem because of ","?

I wan't to do a full screen slide show with changing images under one second. But this doesn't work because every value under 1 will be 0. Maybe this is a german problem because we use "," instead of a ".". But I can't use ".", the field doesn't allow this. Is there a workaround or a bugfix?
Thanks

With any SSD, step #1: make sure the firmware is current.
How you clone or install the OS also can differ.
Linc has a 2008 and 10.8.2 but then I would expect his system to be rock solid. Same cannot be said for more than a few 3,1 owners that... all the issues with power management and panics vanish if they go back or dual boot and keep both, when they use 10.6.8 instead. And of course ML and Lion dropped support for PowerPC code, drivers - a good reason to do a clean install and not carry any older apps, drivers and plugins with the new system.

Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome

Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome. Works in IE. This is my first time trying to post a question - so please be kind. I am also not good with code and am finding css a real challenge after learning to design based on tables. I'm using CS5.
The "test" page with the slide show is: http://www.reardanwa.com/index-slides.html   The same page without the slide show is http://www.reardanwa.com/
I realize the images are not ideally sized - I'll fix those once I get the pages to function. Maybe I need a different slide show? I would prefer a widget that I can modify to required size & postition. Again - I'm not good at building with code from scratch.
The problem is the naviagation links that are directly next to the slide show do not work in Firefox of Chrome. They do work in IE.
I've read about using jQuery.noConflict(); code but can't figure out the correct way to use it in my case or whether that's even part of the solution. I know my code is not well organized as I have cobbled together from various sources in an attempt to format the page the way the client wants it. Also, FYI, I will eventually try to make the page work in Surreal CMS.
I've spent sevaral days over the last several weeks trying to solve sth slide show/navigation conflict - so any specific light you can shed will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

This is my first time using iphoto, I am trying to make a slide show that I can then burn to a dvd. The slide show is complete, but I'm not sure where to go now. Can I burn the slide show from iphoto or do I have to export to imovie or idvd?

I have completed the slide show i am making, but not sure what to do now. I want to burn it to a dvd, but not sure if i can do that from iphoto or do i need to export to imovie or idvd? If i need to export, will iphoto save a copy in iphoto? This may be really stupid, but I don't see an obvious way to save my slide show in iphoto. Please Help!

Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
NOTE: If you're running iPhoto 9.5 the export options will be different.

IPhoto '08: How can I copy an album or slide show to another computer?

Hi,
I want to take a slideshow of a trip that I put music to and move it from my iBook to my new iMac so I can use iDVD to make a DVD of the slideshow (since I can't burn DVDs on my iBook). I have TONS of pictures from this trip, so it would really be a pain to cull through them again, even though all of the photos are on both computers.
Is there any way to copy a slide show (or an iPhoto album) to another computer via an external hard drive? I looked in the iPhoto Help and couldn't find anything on the subject.
Thanks for any advice! I promised some tripmates I would send them a DVD of my photos back in October, so I'm starting to feel guilty!
Karin

Karin:
Here is one way to create the DVD:
1 - on your iBook with the slideshow ready to do use the Share->Send to iDVD menu option.
2 - once the slideshow is compiled into a Quicktime movie and is exported to iDVD, quit iDVD without saving.
3 - look inside your Movies folder for the QT movie that was just created.
4 - copy that movie file to your iMac.
5 - open iDVD on your iMac, select a theme and add a slideshow to the menu window with the "+" button at the bottom.
6 - open the slideshow editing window by double clicking on the slideshow button or text in the menu.
7 - drag the QT movie into the slideshow window on the left. This will let iDVD scale the QT movie to the TV safe area so non of the movie is lost to the TV overscan that will occur if the movie is added directly to the menu.
8 - once the iDVD project is ready use the File->Save as Disk Image to save the project as a disk image. This allows you to mount the disk image and play it with DVD Player to confirm that the encoding went as it should and there are no typos in the menu or title (my biggest error).
9 - when ready to burn use Disk Utility to burn, at the slowest speed possible, to a DVD-R disk.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

What's the Best Free Software to create slide shows?

Hi,
I have to edit a movie on FinalCut ProX that includes beside interviews, a lot of photographs.
I usually animate them using the program it self (transform features and motion) but it takes too long.
Could someone advice me if there is any application available and free that I can download from the Internet?
I've tried Picassa which is Ok but a bit too simple with not too many templates.
It has to be an application that permits to export the slide show and use it further in The FinalCut Pro X project.
Thanks a Lot!

IPhoto is still too poor for its visual graphics editing options.
What does that mean?
JBRVideoProductions wrote:
Have you used Motion by chance?
Yes.
Motion can do a lot of amazing things. But if you're looking for speed ("FCPX…takes too long") and templates, you need to look elsewhere.
Perhaps you should download the Lightroom trial.
Or for a dedicated slideshow app, Foto Magico.
Best of luck.

Rather than burn directly to disk follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

I would like to create a slide show and then burn to a DVD. I may be interested in adding music. Should I use iPhone, iMovie or a simple Powerpoint?

I am going to be creating a slide show and then burning it to a couple of DVDs. I have used PPT in the past for simple slide shows for speaking engagements, but I am interested in adding music to this slide show. What is the best/easiest application to use? iMovie, iPhoto or Powerpoint?
Thanks!

burning it to a couple of DVDs
Is it your intention to create video DVDS that can be played on TV sets via DVD players? If so you'll need a video DVD authoring application like iDVD.
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.

If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

Using export slide show from iphoto, I am trying to create a DVD of photos and vid clips in large format. The vid clips do not work using burn software. Any idea?

Using export slide show from iphoto, I am trying to create a DVD of photos and vid clips in large format. The vid clips do not work using burn software. Any idea?

Have used large format, but using the 'burn' software, I am not getting seamless video quality on DVD even though I am burning at 2* speed. Any ideas? Do I need better software? Or is there a problem with the SuperDrive?

Slide show loop and quality

Hi, help! I have to put together a couple of slide show presentations for a kiosk type setting, I will have a 2 DVD players available. I will have one presentation with music and about 95 slides and the other presentation of over 100 slides with music. I don't want to leave my Mac unattended while we are in meeting but need the slide show to loop continuously while in the meetings. I know how to make a slide show in IDVD and IPHOTO, but not sure if I can make them loop or is there any other software that would be better or any advice. I need the best quality photos also. My last slideshow presentation using IDVD looked a little less then professional in photo quality. Thanks in advance and do covet the wealth of knowledge out there.

You can set a a slideshow in an iDVD project to automatically play and loop. Go to the Map mode and drag the the slideshow into the far left (blue) bin.
Click to view full size
To loop selet the slideshow in the Map mode and use the Advanced menu.
Click to view full size
You will only be able to have one slideshow per disk play and loop so you will need to iDVD projects resulting in two burned discs.
The slideshow with 95 slides will not present a problem but with the 100+ slideshow you can run into a pause at slide #100. That's because the DVD standard is only 99 chapters per slideshow and each slide, when created from still photos, is a chapter. iDVD gets around this limitation by renumbering the slides back to #1 when it reaches 99. At that point some DVD players will pause briefly or stop. A lot depends on the DVD player being used. Of course if you create the slideshow in iPhoto and export it to iDVD as a Quicktime movie file using the Share->Send to iDVD menu option the pause will not be a problem.
If you plan on using your laptop or Mac to play the slideshow you won't even have to burn the iDVD project to disk. Just use the File->Save as Disk Image, mount the disk image and play it full screen with DVD Player. If you need to create a disc of the project then burn to disc with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Exporting and I photo slide show to IDVD

I am trying to expoert a slideshow from Iphoto to IDVD the problem is that I have 2 songs on the slide show but after the export only one song will play. the slide show continues after the first song but not the music? I like the auto ken burns effect and the titles that I can include in iphoto so perfer to stay with that program to create the slide show instead of starting in iDVD. Any suggestions would be apprecated.

Hi PKColorado,
You find find at least two other threads pertaining to this topic right here on this page.
Only one song exporting with Slideshows
Right now, this seems to be a know problem/bug. There have been some work-arounds. Don't know if the problem is with iPhoto, Quicktime or a combo of both.
-From Bob Worthington: re-ripping the cuts I wanted as background music for the DVD as a single cut in iTunes. I then made a playlist containing the one extended cut of music.
-Old Toad: share to Quicktime from iPhoto and then import the resulting movie into iMovie you can extract and delete the audio from the video and add the two songs to the video and save.
Quicktime Pro-open the movie and bring up the Movie Properties menu window. In the top window select the audio track and delete it.
If you want more than one song you'll have to join them together with iMovie or some other application. Then open that joined file with QT Player. Then do a select all and copy. Now go to the QT window of the movie and select the Edit->Add to Movie menu option. You don't want to scale it because it will change the play speed of the audio unless it's time is exactly the same as the movie.
You could go the other way, open the movie, select all and copy, and then past with scaling to the audio. That will change the speed of the movie and transitions to fit the audio track. In this case the resulting video file will have the name of the audio track file that you started with.
You may have to play with it a bit to get exactly what you want. Be sure to work with copies of all the media files for the project.
-Peter Burtwistle: I opened the Qt movie that iPhoto makes when you export to iDVD and removed the sound track.
Then made a new soundtrack by opening all three songs in QT, then cutting and pasting them together.
Finally use QT Pro's 'Add to Movie" option to add the soundtrack to the original movie.
This worked well and was fast to do too.
-Joe Lombardo: I ended up having to extend the songs by 20 seconds so I brought them all into GarageBand and made some edits. Then I exported them all to iTunes as a single track and used that for the slideshow
As an addendum to Bob Worthingtons solution. Create your playlist in iTunes.
burn the playlist to CD. Import into iTunes using the option to join tracks. Now use this tract for your slideshow.

Help on iWeb or Slide Show

Hi All, Hoping I can get some guidance on a project. My cat died recently and we're creating a history of his life to announce to his family & friends. At first, I created a PowerPoint Presentation using Office Mac 2008. It came out great; 28 slides. One problem, it's 35 MB, so it is too large to attach to an e-mail; whether Yahoo or Gmail.
Next step was to reduce the size of the file, that did not work nor did compression: still too large. Oddly, I've received work PP Presentations far larger as e-mail attachments, but apparently Yahoo & Gmail have a 25MB per file limit.
So, I got the idea to export PPP as a movie. Yeah, hope. Hope dashed as movie large was still 31 MB, and if I go any smaller, no one in their right mind can see it.
So, then I thought to create as slide show in iPhoto, then export as movie. Ultimately, same issues with regard to size.
Now, I'm in iWeb thinking to create a web page to hold the movie or slide show. Well, the iMovie is greater than 10 MB and it won't drag into the iWeb movie page. Yet, I can drag in the slide show, but it appears on a photo page.
So, now I'm in iWeb, with a photo page, with all the slide pics in order. I clicked on the "play slideshow" to see how it would work, but it does not appear to work, unless I double click on one pic and then go each next pic using the "next" icon.
The last step would be to insert the music I had, but when in iWeb, I do "insert" go to "choose" the music list opens right up, pick the song. A new box opens and says "drag pic here." Only one pic will drag in, not all.
1) Is there an easier way to add running music to all the slides?
2) If so, can I time the music to each slide as I was able to do in iPhoto slide show suing "adjustments?"
3) Is there an easier way to simply accomplish what I'm trying to do, as this is getting maddening how you simply cannot post 28 small slides, most are pics.
Any feedback is welcomed,
Thanks

QTK & Old Toad,
Big Thanks Guys, it all worked out. I followed QTK when I was initially responding and began to understand how to make it work. I joined Mobile.me and uploaded my QuickTime Movie. Then gave it a trial run both at me.com & as if I was sending the link to others.
Yea! it worked! Old Toad, your additional info is great as I was giving thought to size and how some in the rural areas may not have fast connection speeds. My cuz in Missouri just watched it and said all was good.
What all this has taught me is certainly how to interact both MS Office Power Point ( I have MSOffice for Mac 2008) and iPhoto. I utilized PP to create a base slideshow, adding text to slides, sizing of the pictures, timing the music, etc., as PP appears to allow much more creativity & modifications, font colors, styles, etc. Then Export the PP Presentation as jpegs to a subfolder. Then import those jpegs into iPhoto to create the slideshow. While it was a process over a few days, it was well worth the learning. And, why some may roll their eyes and say "Ovey, he could have done it this simply" I feel empowered learning the long route as I usually can visualize the concept and flow, but sometimes have weaker skills on the computing side.
Again, much thanks!!!!!

Burning a Slide Show

I did a slide show of a childrens' book with narration and music backing that I dropped in as mp3 files. Preview and everything went fine. I went to output and followed the instructions for burn to media and got a message that said Adobe had to, well..basically crash. I used a CDR as blank media, both data and music. Do I need a blank DVD-R in order to use the option where I can view or show it on a TV set w/DVD player? Also, I tried as an option to save as a PDF(it's the first option they show in the output window). That went haywire, played only the first slide with sound, took forever to go to next slide, no sound, etc. Any thoughts? Thanks very much in advance for your help!

What do you want to do with the slideshow? Play it on a TV set? If so then you have to use the Share ➙ iDVD menu option to create a video DVD with iDVD.
Once you have the project as you want it in iDVD save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
If you only want to create a Quicktime movie file of your slideshow and burn that to disk the use the Export button at the bottom of the slideshow window
and select the size you want for the slideshow in the following window:
Finally export to the Desktop and burn to a disk from the Finder.

Lightroom 5.7 slide show crashing

I just moved Lightroom 5.7 to an I mac retina. Overtime I try to use the slide show module, it preps the slide show, then crashes once it begins the show. It was working well on my old iMac 27 in. Any suggestions? Running latest Yosemite operating system and 32 gigs RAM. Also noticed the slow processing speed in develop mode which I saw reported in other posts.
Thanks
