Themes for Slideshows

can I get more themes for the slideshows, or do I have to get a different program with more themes?

There are no more themes for Slideshows. There are many alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow including:
iMovie, on every Mac sold, as is iDVD.
Others, in order of price:
PhotoPresenter $29 - this has a wide range of themes
PhotoToMovie $49.95 - this has no themes
PulpMotion $129 - this has themese
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Express $199
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off themes, 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 Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

  • Costumize Themes for slideshow in iPhoto?

    Hello All,
    I got my first MacBook Pro 13" 2 months ago. I worked a lot with it and I am happy.
    Now I discovered the iPhoto-Slideshows. I want to creat a Slideshow (iPhoto newest Update) with the theme "Reflections)
    When I drop now the Pictures in the slideshow, iPhoto atomatcly splits the Slides. Sometime on the slide is just one picture, sometimes there are 4.
    and the pictures are not in org. size, they are zoomed.
    Is anybody able to help me??
    Thanks in advance

    It's not possible to customise the Slideshow templates.

  • If I have chosen a theme for my slideshow in iphoto can I override the music that goes with the theme or am I stuck with it?

    I'm short on time. I've chosen the scrapbook theme for my slideshow and am very happy with the way it turned out. However I don't want to use the music that comes along with the scrapbook theme (you've got a friend in me). I'd like to replace that with a song from my itunes library. Is that possible? Thanks.

    Yes, you can select a playlist from your iTunes library in the Music Settings for the slideshow  Just change the "Source" from theme Music" to iTunes and select a playlist:

  • HT2265 for some reason the only photos that do the random scrolling are events, can I include the albums from iphoto to scroll as well.   the know the albums have synced because i can view them in slideshow

    for some reason the only photos that do the random scrolling are photos in the events section of iphoto. is it possible to include the albums from iphoto to scroll as well.   the know the albums have synced because i can view them in slideshow  pls help

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I assume you are referring to the screensaver. You can change the photos used by the screensaver in the screensaver settings. Note if you have a large number of photos in the collection you choose for screensaver, not all of them will be used due to the limited storage available to the Apple TV.

  • Bought slideshow songs but won't let me use them for that

    I bought an album for use with power point presentations but itunes won't let me convert the files so I can use them for the exact purpose I purchased them. I don't want to do anything illegal...just use the songs for the correct purpose.

    You'll have to burn a CD of the songs and then reimport them to use them in a program other than iTunes.

  • How to merge theme and slideshow

    Hello Guys
    I need your help on how I can merge theme and slideshow. I am trying to save the slideshow to an external hard-drive where i store my movies without having to burn it. The options I have are:SAVING AS DISC IMAGE and SAVING AS VIDEO TS_FOLDER.
    If i save my project using either of the two, it saves them as a FOLDER and when you open the folder, there are 2 other folders which are AUDIO _TS and VIDEO_TS. This is where the slide gets SPLIT- result is you have the theme separated from the slide show. This then means that I have to play the theme first and then go on to select the slideshow.
    I just want it to be as simple as just clicking on the slideshow and then it plays the theme and gives me the option to start the slideshow just as it happens to a burned DVD.It will automatically play the theme first.
    Please help!

    Thanks for responding
    I am using an External hard drive which can be connected to a TV. Its one of those you can save all your videos and music ect...Yes the Audio_TS folder is empty.
    Just a bit more info for you-: If I burn a slideshow project with a theme, I can automatically see the theme and the title ect.. and can also click play to start the slideshow.
    But when saved as a DISK IMAGE or VIDEO_TS, It will ONLY start playing the slideshow without showing THEME,TITLE ect..

  • Photo order for slideshow

    I have a directory of 300 photos, numbered 1-300, which are in the order I want them in...they are not in date order at all.   how can i preserve my order when pulling into the organizer in elements for slideshow creation?
    a related topic...any batch renumbering utility in elements?

    Hi,
    I'm not too clear on how you have numbered the photos. If you have just renamed each photo with the number then there could be a problem in ordering the photos in PSE. In PSE, the folder view displays the photos in alphabetic order not numeric order.
    So, photos could appear in a different order:-
    Numeric order :   1, 2, 10, 20
    Alphabetic order : 1, 10, 2, 20
    When renaming photos, to preserve the order for other viewers, it is best to use leading zeros to pad each number (e.g. 001, 020, 300).
    To get them int PSE, just do Get Photos and Videos -> From Files and Folders and point to the folder containing the photos. Note that the getting of the photos does not take a copy of the photos, it just catalogs them.
    Once they have been imported, switch to Folder Location in the Display options (top right) and select the folder where your photos are. If you have the naming right, the photos should appear in the correct order.
    Now create an Album tag and apply it all the photos.
    You can now switch to Thumbnail View in the Display options (my preferred view to work in) and if you select the album tag, the photos should be displayed in the correct order. In album view, you can drag the photos around into the order you want.
    When you want to create you slideshow, just select all the photos in the album.
    Personally, I don't bother renaming photos, I just import them into PSE and select the ones I want and allocate an album tag to them. In album view, I then move the photos around into the order I want and then create the slideshow.
    For you last topic, why do you want to renumber the photos? There is the Export facility which enables you to copy the photos to an new folder and you can apply a sequence number.
    Hope that the above was helpful

  • Some snaps show up as black screens when I try to view them as single pictures.Even when I run them in slideshows they show up as black screens.These are jpeg files.How can I avoid this happening?

    Some snaps show up as black screens when I try to view them as single pictures.Even when I run them in slideshows they show up as black screens.These are jpeg files.How can I avoid this happening?

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • What is the best method of ordering photos for slideshow

    Hello - I am working on a photo slideshow for a 50th Anniversary party.  I have over 100 photos I am trying to put in order.  It is excruciating to use the filmstrip at the top of the screen.  Is there a better way to order them in a grid view or another application before I use them for the slideshow?
    I thought of ordering them in the finder but that would mean I'd have to change the names of each of the photo files so they will stay in order when I import them.
    I hope this isn't a crazy question....But it is driving me nuts!

    Put them in an album, arrange manually to the order you want.  Select all and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change menu option.
    Set the Title to Text option to the following:
    That will give you Slide-01, Slide-02, etc.  Now select the sort order for the album to "By Title".  Then select all and create a slideshow to have all of the photos in the order you want.
    When you're done with the slideshows the Titles can be reverted to the original via the Title to File Name option in the same window.

  • Set the speed for slideshow?

    I'd like to be able to create a slideshow on the iPad that plays my photos in a random order and displays them for 30 seconds at a time before changing.
    I don't see any options to make this happen in the built in Photos app. Is there an app out there that will let me do this? Or can this be done with the native app and I'm missing it?
    Thanks for your help!
    Justin

    go to your settings icon; click on photos - the left hand side - you will see the options for your slide show but 20 seconds is the max before changing

  • Themes for aperture

    Hi, I have recently purchased Aperture and Themes for aperture. However, I do not see the additional 105 themes inside the Aperture software, can anyone here advise?
    Secondly, how do we tell whether the Aperture software which purchased from AppStore is the latest Aperture 3?
    Regards
    Roy

    Well put.  (I'm about to finish upgrading my on-line portfolio to a more expensive gallery hosting site in order to remove more distractions.  My goal is to show the pictures, not the packaging, be it a site or a slideshow.)

    Lastly, can we purchase additional slideshow themes for Aperture 3? thks
    I don't know of any third-party slideshow themes, sorry.  I usually use the basic themes anyway - I do not want the slideshow effects to distract from my photos
    Kirby, do you know of additional themes?
    I don't.  Does Aperture now have all the ones that were available in iPhoto?  Iirc, iPhoto used to have a couple that Aperture did not.  I'm sure that there are many slideshow programs available outside of Aperture -- cgwebster may have to use one of them if a plug-in isn't available for the look s/he wants.

  • How do I leverage a custom theme for Outlook 2013?

    Microsoft has a problem. They use the term "theme" in Office in 2 different ways: 1) the 3 background colors you can choose of the Office applications and 2) a collection of colors, fonts, and layout that can be customized and defined by the user
    for the applications.
    I know how to create a theme in PowerPoint and save it as a default for all new presentations. Allegedly you can you this across Office applications but this is where it breaks down (as far as my user experience goes).
    I've created a theme in PowerPoint. It has my custom colors. I want to use that same collection in Outlook.
    I can apply it on a email by email basis (Options menu for an email), but I want the default email (new or reply) to use that custom theme. I see my theme in the drop down menu under a heading of Custom, but there isn't a way to set it as default
    (behavior differs from PowerPoint here).
    So I look under the Outlook File menu, then Options and select Mail. You can change stationary, but the custom theme isn't an option there.
    Then there is Styles under the Format Text menu when in a new email. There are color options and font options, but again, no way to leverage the work I did in creating the custom theme.
    Searching on customizing themes for Outlook only gets me answers on the first use of the word theme, not the latter.
    Is there no way to you the theme I created for Outlook 2013?

    Its very simple - if you want a product that remains consistent and does not change its layout every few years, that is fully customizable, and will remain being supported by subsequent operating systems, then get an open source product running in an open
    source OS. It seems that you can no longer rely on MS to provide consistency, stability, or support for their own products. 
    When will MS realise that customer familiarity with their products is their intellectual property, like branding, which you would never trash every five years. Imagine that MS wanted to change their name to a new company name, or their Outlook brand to Inlook
    - it would never happen. So why is thee trade getup and arrangement changing so often and against what their customers want? Is it to justify thee new products? Maybe with cloud and 365, they will finally be happy and stop mucking about with what works (after
    they change everything back to '95 /XP format?).

    I'm going to guess videos buffer for a while also...
    Two possibilities, one is you should close apps on the iPad, the other is your internet speed is not able to handle the demands of a high speed device.
    To close apps:   Double click home button, swipe up to close the apps.
    To solve internet problem, contact your provider.   Basic internet is not enough for video games and movies.   Your router may be old and slow.

  • PLEASE: How can I save my iphone texts and "notes" (not "the note") to my computer? I need them for reference and legal purposes. I have yet to find an app for this and iphone doesn't sync either one.

    Greetings!
    I am brand new to using a Support Community -- I'm more of a in-person show me learner but...huge snowstorm and I don't want to
    to make an appointment at a Genius Bar, driving 15 miles, especially since I asked about this once before  and no one there was able to
    give me an "official" Apple answer .  I do hope I am posting my question (and plea) for help properly.
    LOL when I had my first lil' Mac Classic, over 20 years ago, my participation in the techno world was soooo much easier, simpler.
    My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for
    future reference and for legal purposes.  I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself.
    I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need.  It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and
    my MacBook Pro.
    Also I often use Notes for quick journaling as well as copy and pasting from other apps, usually inspirational, that I know I am going to want
    to read again (always with credit noted ) and these too are taking up space.  If I could email myself I would but the apps I'm using don't offer that and each day there is a new commentary -- no way to go "back".
    I am currently using OS 10.6.8 on my MacBook -- my disc drive doesn't work and upgrading has to be done at the Apple Store so I don't have iCloud yet.
    My iphone 4  is running OS 6.0.1 -- no upgrade until I'm at a wifi connection -- most of the time I'm using my personal hotspot.
    I'm a very busy self-employed Nana raising grandchildren and a great-grandchild.  I don't have a lot of time and certainly not enough for copying and pasting every text as well as note and emailing it to myself.  There has got to be a better, easier way, yes?
    I'd be most appreciative of any and all assistance here.  Oh, someone mentioned to me I ought to get a "stick" for downloading but were talking
    in a language I'm still learning. 
    Thank you!
    Melinda

    Thank you    

    Assuming you purchased QT Pro, you can always download it again at no extra charge by logging in to your Apple account.
    Regarding FCE, there is no way to download & install the product.  You need an original FCE install disk and your FCE serial number.
    Final Cut Pro X (aka FCPX) can be purchased & downloaded from the App Store.
