The 'screensaver' effect - as a video

As a screen saver on my iMac, I have set “Present slides in random order > Collage Style > Classic”
The effect is of my photos as white-edged postcards falling, all in full color, onto the Desktop.
I would like to use this exact effect as a video of my photos.
The closest thing in iPhoto is called “Snapshots”. In this, the photos appear bigger, more slowly
and only from the bottom of the screen and, as each new photo appears, the previous photo
turns Black and White - a picture is only in color as it enters.
This is NOT the effect that I want.
Is it possible to make a video of my photos in the Random/Collage Style/Classic
with ALL the photos staying in color?

That's not available in iPhoto. The closest thing to that in iMovie is the Bulletin Board theme. There are 3rd party slideshow apps that have themes that might get close to that. One is PhotoPresenter which has over 25 animated themes. This demo page has examples of 8 of them: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes.
You can download it and try the demo mode. I'm not sure but the Floating Photos theme may be the closest you can get to the mosaic screensaver.

  • How can I disable the screensaver while playing video in fullscreen?

    Hi!
    HTML5 is great and I hope to get rid of Flash as soon as possible.
    That said, something is still bothering me when I play an HTML5 video (on youtube for instance): the screensaver is still on even though I'm full-screen.
    Is there a config I missed or is it a bug within Firefox?
    (I'm using Arch Linux with GNOME)

    Per this comment - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=517870#c36 - a fix is in the works for Firefox 30.

  • How do I apply the Letterbox effect to the whole of my video?

    ... without exporting it? I would also like to put some colouring fx to the final product as well... is it possible without an export then importing it back in?

    If you want a different aspect ratio than 16:9 in a 16:9 project, or 4:3 in a 4:3 project, you could select your whole timeline and turn it into a compound clip and add the Widescreen effect to the compound clip. You can also use the Color Board to modify the colours throughout the video at the same time.
    I've made a widescreen title generator effect with many more aspect ratios that is a free download from my blog.
    You attach it to a clip in your timeline, and change the start and end point to match the duration of your project. It adds the widescreen matte to every storyline below it in the timeline.

  • How can I get rid of the crop effect in iMovie for all of my photos all at one time?

    I want to be able to make a time lapse video using still images that I've imported using iPhoto.  What I have been able to do so far is import the pictures and make the time per photo shorter.  However, I cannot take off the crop effect that iMovie does automatically for them.  I know how to take the crop effect off manually one by one, but that would take decades.  Is there a way so I can select all of the pictures and take the effect off all at once?

    You would get more responses from iMovie users by posting in the iMovie community >  iMovie for Mac: iLife: Apple Support Communities

  • Using the lighting effects filter causes my CS6 to crash

    Hi,
    I read other threads with people have issues with their PC, but I am not able to follow them to correct my issues.
    When I open a JPEG file from my mark iii into CS6, I try to start a new layer and then add the lighting effects filter.  CS6 crashes (the little effects comes up on the screen and the little blue circle goes round and round). Nothing happens, but if I check task manager it says photoshop is not running. 
    I have windows, 16GB ram, and am using a small percent of my memory. 
    How do I see if I need to update my video card and how do I do that?
    Thank you, Michele

    Have you installed all the Photoshop updates?
    And have you checked your GPU maker's website for updated video card drivers?

  • StageVideo on android shows a black frame on the start and end of video playback

    When my screen starts up it goes completely black for a moment and the interface becomes unreponsive for about a second when my stagevideo player class is added to the stage. My videos are encoded using Adobe Media Encoder with the 480p android settings (vbr 2 pass). I tried cbr and that had exactly the same effect. This problem happens on both air 3.5 and air 3.4. I figure this has to be something caused by my own code because I don't see many discussions about this issue.

    Using Air 3.6 on a Samsung tab 2 - Android 4.1.1
    Having similar issues.
    I'm trying to play a different video corrisponding with a button on the stage.
    When I click the button, the video turns black, then shows the last frame of the old video then the new video starts playing.
    A just want the old video to stop and have the new one play with no flashing in the middle.
    This happens with both stagevideo and the fallback video object
    Works fine in flash player 11 windows.
    I've noticed a lot of similar type problems and some seem to be getting fixed with new Air versions.
    Anyone else currently having similar issues?

  • How do I stretch (or compress) the viewing time of a video clip in Elements 12?

    How do I stretch (or compress) the viewing time of a video clip in Elements 12?

    oxmox
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? For now, assumed Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
    Typically, if you increase the length of a video clip, you will create slow motion. If you decrease the length of a video clip, you will create fast motion effect.
    You can right click the clip on the Timeline, select Time Stretch, and use the Time Stretch dialog's settings to change the video duration.
    See the Adobe document/section on Set Duration of Clip
    Adobe Premiere Elements 11 * Changing clip speed and duration
    ATR
    Add On...As an aside, if you have not done so already, please update 12 to 12.1 Update, using an open project's Help Menu/Update.

  • Apply an effect to all video layers below it?

    Hey, all.
    Before I ask, let me say that I'm a professional Avid editor cutting on Premiere Pro CS3.
    The effect I'm trying to create is a distortion. Basically, I want to make it seem like I'm punching through from the back of the video. But the video in question is made up of four smaller clips lined up like a grid.
    So far, I've put transparent video across the top (I will provide a link to a pic of a screen capture), and tried to apply a sphere distortion (just to check it out)....nothing happens. Anything I put on the transparent video (which in my mind should act like filler in the Avid), doesn't affect anything below it.
    Soooo...what the point of the transparent video? And any ideas on how to make my punch? Thanks!

  • Why does the frame of my rotated video not rotate also?

    I've checked these forums and followed the method to rotate a video that turned out to be rotated 90 degrees. When I rotated the video it rotated all right but the frame is still vertical portrait format and did not rotate also. What I wind up with is a tall vertical frame that has a properly rotated video that has both ends cropped off. Any other videos I now add to the timeline are also inside of this tall frame and also cropped off because the frame is tall and narrow, not rotated with the image.
    How do I go about doing this correctly? Is it possible to just rotate a video that has turned on its side and have the format or frame rotate also?
    TIA, Ken

    It never ceases to amaze me the odd hours that the loyal Adobe staff puts in. Look at the time stamp on Mark's post.
    To be more specific, just in case other people come along with the same question, create the sequence from your clip first. That will make it the right size and shape and frames per second to match up with your video.
    You can do this by dragging the clip to the "New Item" button or just right-click on the clip in the project panel and select "New Sequence From Clip".
    Once you have the perfect sequence just change it from this:
    To this:
    Then you can use the Motion effect on the clip to rotate it 90 degrees (or minus 90 degrees).
    Unfortunately, you can't, as far as I know, rotate the clips in the project panel. Only in the sequence. So one possible solution, and it depends on the clips and your workflow, is to put all of the clips on the timeline, rotate them all by rotating the first one and copying the attributes to all of the others at one time. You can then take that sequence into the Source monitor and use it just like a clip. That is one of the great things about nested clips. From there you can cut it up into smaller clips if you so desire. It doesn't seem to be possible to create actual subclips from a sequence, but you cam mark the in and out points and drag them to the project panel, then rename them if so desired.
    Some of my friends here on the forum seem to hate the concept of video shot in portrait mode on a phone or a video camera. However, there are times when it makes perfect sense to me. Especially when it is going to be displayed on a monitor that is oriented in portrait mode. Lots of advertising done that way. And who says that video on a web site has to be landscape? Why would you shoot the Eiffel Tower of the new Freedom Tower in landscape mode?
    If you are shooting video of a person standing and talking to put on the side of a web page, portrait makes more sense.
    Anyway, I hope this helps.

  • I bought all the new effects from retrica around Christmas time and  I had to factory reset my phone and now their not there and say I have to purchase all of them again please tell me how I can get my purchases back

    I bought all the new effects for Retrica and now they say I have to purchase them all again

    Dr Traed-
    There should be a program that came with the camera that can view the AVCHD videos.  It may have the ability to save-as other formats.
    One program that is good for converting some video formats to M4V or MP4 required by iPad, is HandBrake.  <Download Handbrake> If you can save the videos to an intermediate format, HandBrake may be able to complete the comversion to MP4.

  • Export presentation from my imac to my ipad with the object effect transitions

    Well i've made a presentation, took me a few days to make and somehow i forgot that the only way i can present it is through my ipad, and is there a way i can export my presentation whilst not losing the object effect transitions???
    i've tried making it into a video and sending it to my ipad but that doesn't work

    You might get a quicker/better response in the iWork for iPad forum. Not all of us here have used the iPad and know what is compatible and what is not.

  • Does the HDMI cable carry both video and audio? U

    Does the HDMI cable carry both video and audio?
    If so what is the purpose of the separate optical audio connection?
    Just a little confusion setting the Apple TV Up with my AV receiver.
    TIA.

    You would use both HDMI and optical by connecting the former to a TV and the latter to a receiver that doesn't have an HDMI input so that you could play the audio through your stereo system.
    You can use the HDMI alone, typically directly to the TV or through an A/V receiver, as HDMI does carry both video and sound.
    For the year prior to the disastrous 4.4 updates a couple of weeks ago, you could use optical alone to add AirPlay music capabilities to your stereo system, so that you could stream music from iTunes and devices like the Touch and iPhone to your stereo. The 4.4 update broke that capability, requiring the use of HDMI for no reason. Lots and lots of people have been complaining about that bug, as it effectively bricks the Apple TV for anyone who bought it for this purpose but can't use the HDMI connection.

  • Was the "Blink" effect dropped in FCP X?

    Hi,
    I am looking for an equivalent to the "Blink" effect in FCP X which lets you specifiy intervals when frames are "dropped" (the underlying media or black (or a chosen colour) is shown instead), e.g. described here: http://www.studiodaily.com/main/richmedia/VIDEO-TUTORIAL-The-Blink-Filter-in-Fin al-Cut-Pro_6747.html
    In my german version there is an effect called "Blinken" ("to blink"), but that one renders a "light effect" in random intervals onto the frames.
    Was that effect dropped in FCP X?
    Thanks, Oliver

  • How do I change the background color for the knockout effect in Final Cut Pro?

    One person suggested to me before to change the video player background in the preference section. It did change the color in the preview, but once I export it. It reverts back to its original color.
    I want to change the black background you see in the photo below to a white background. PERMANENTLY (meaning even after I export the video, it remains white)
    It is the knockout effect: the video is playing within the text.
    PLEASE HELP!!! It's has been frustrating me for a long time.

    FRom the Generators browser you put one of the generators underneath the video. You can use the Custom Generator and set the color to white.

Maybe you are looking for
