Themes/templates for photo slide show in iMovie6

Hi:
Wondering if anyone know how to use other themes created in the past (iMovie5). I am using iMovie6 and it comes with 5 themes.
Thanks

No, you can't use the iDVD templates in iPhoto, but you can make a slideshow with iDVD or iMovie!
Perhaps that will help?

What is best app for photo slide show with music

Photoshop, Elements, or LR - for photo slide show with music

Are those the only choices you want to consider? Which do you already use? Here's my take on the slideshow capability in each:
Photoshop CS6 and CC: You can create slieshows in a video format but you will have to crawl through hoops and climb barrels to get what you want. The timeline feature of Photoshop is not exactly intuitive.
Elements: Can't comment since I have never used the software.
Lightroom: much easier than Photoshop to create a slideshow but also extremely feature limited. Slideshows can run directly from the software or rendered as a video. Only one music track is allowed with limtied transitions effects. Want the fabled 'Ken Burns' effect? Forget it!
Neither of these choices specifically target slideshow creation and I would certainly not pick any for this purpose (unless you already use them). Best to seek software dedicated for slideshows. Several are free.

Great 3rd Plug Ins for Photo Slide show? (Sample attached)

Looking for something like this (slide show), and would like advice.
Thing is, some say you have to update the whole thing every time you add a photo, not sure why that is, interested in seeing what's out there. Appreciate any and all advice. Also looking into Rapid Weaver, seems okay, Themes are a little dull and the plug ins don't really explain the situation well, therefore, for now, I will stick to iWeb. I too am interesting in building a music site and this is why I am using this example.
Thank you.

If you create a web gallery with iPhoto, embed it into your web page you can then update the gallery and slideshow from iPhoto very easily without having to use iWeb again. Embedding a MMe gallery in an iWeb page is shown in this demo page: MobileMe Galleries and Quicktime Movies.
If you create an photo page in iWeb you can add new photos to it via the Media Browser and republish. Depending on where you're hosting the site you don't have to upload everyting each time. With MobileMe you can just use the Publish Site Changes and you'll only have to upload those pages that have been changed.
If you use a 3rd party hosting service you can publish to a folder, use Web Site Maestro to optimize and upload only those files that have been changed.
I don't know of any method that would allow you to just add more image files to a folder on the server as a way to add to the online photo presentation and slideshow.
If you're interested in a music site be sure to visit Roddy's iWeb for Musicians

Project settings for photo slide show for Elements 9

Hello everyone. Making a wedding slideshow of photos with pixels set to 1000 x 750 with elements 9. Which project setting should I choose? there is so many from the new video camera format, to HD Cameras, flip etc.. Widescreen, Standard, too many to choose but nothing for straight pictures.
output will be computer to LCD screen, also will burn copies for viewing on LCD widescreen TVs via DVD. Any direction would be appreciated and which setting to choose. I am at a loss.
Thanks in advance

I would choose the NTSC (or PAL, if you live in PAL-land) DV Widescreen, based on that target DVD-Video.
With Still Images only, one can then let the output determine the Project.
One additional option, but the 1000 x 750 preculdes that, would be to do an HD Project, as per output to BD. Then, Export/Share that Project as a DV-AVI and Import that into a DV Widescreen Project for the DVD-Video. One would still have the BD, HD Project, should they ever wish to produce a BD.
Now, are the Still Images originally from larger files, say 4000 x 3000? If they are, I would probably go with that HD Project, re-Scale the Stills to 1920 x 1080, or very similar, and work with those. As there ARE more pixels, one consideration would be whether there are too many of the Stills for the particular computer to handle.
I always try to work with the highest def material, that I can, and then down-rez upon Export (with but a few exceptions).
To summarize, either the HD Project (with re-Scaled Stills), and then Exported/Imported into a DV Project for the DVD-Video, or just starting the DV Widescreen, and going straight to DVD-Video would be fine.
Good luck,
Hunt

Transitions set for entire slide show?

In '09, can one set transition times for an entire show or are they still set individually as in '08. Can't decide whether to use iMovie or Keynote for photo slide shows and this is a key factor due to the number of slides.
thanks

As in '08, in the Slide Navigator simply select all the slide thumbnails and apply a transition and set the timing -- all slides will be affected. (You can select all the slides by a) clicking on the top slide, then shift-clicking on the bottom slide, or b) click-and-drag from the bottom of the left sidebar below the last thumbnail up to the top, or c) click in the sidebar and then in the Edit menu choose "Select All".)

I need to do non-constrained crops for Ken Burns effect in photo slide show

I am making photo slide shows in imovie '09. I understand the Ken Burns effect and how to set a start and an end point. I want to use the effect on vertical or portrait mode photos. i would like to have the entire photo displayed in portrait mode and have it zoom in a bit. The problem is The start and end points seem to only be horizontal or landscape mode. I can't ever get the entire image selected. How can I do this?
Thanks,
Tim

You need to add the letterbox (black space) in another application. iMovie's Ken Burns effect will not do it for you. You can do it in Photoshop if you like.
However, there is a way to do it in Automator, and you can do hundreds of vertical photos very quickly. That is the way I do it.
Here is more detail:
There is also a quick way to pad your images without using Photoshop. This method will pad hundreds of images in just a few seconds.
You do it with a tool that comes with OS/X called Automator. It should be in your Applications/Utilities folder.
Automator is basically a workflow tool. It allows you to string together commands and actions into a workflow and then execute the entire sequence at once. If you have Snow Leopard, you can even add these workflows to your contextual menus that come up when you right-click.
There are many workflows that would work to pad your images. Here is an example:
In Automator, start a photo workflow and drag the following actions into the workflow from the Action palettes on the left.
You should have something like:
1)Ask for Photos (You must select one or more photos and hit Select - you can make this easier by putting them in an album beforehand)
2) Copy Finder Items (give it a folder to copy to- so you can find them easily)
3) Pad Images. (put a check mark in "scale image before padding" Pick the pixel dimensions of your project...like 640x480 or 960x540. or 1920x1080
Hit Run and a dialog box will come up asking you to select photos. When you are finished, press SELECT and the Automator script will keep running.
Then at the end you should have padded images in the folder you created in step 2.

Modifying Photo Slide Show Template

Hello All,
I've never used Flash before, and I don't know any
ActionScript. I am using Flash 8 Professional on Windows XP
Professional. I believe my problem is fairly simple to solve, but I
have not been able to find any information on the Internet. I would
greatly appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
I am using the Photo Slide Show template, and I would like to
add transition effects to it. Is this possible? If so, how would I
go about doing it? Please help me. I appreciate your time and
consideration.
Thanks,

Hi Sisilla,
I was just thinking that if you need to get a nice slideshow
with effects going on your website quickly you could use another
program that specializes in just that. There are lots of
these Flash slideshow programs that you can download. Here is one..
http://www.amarasoftware.com/flash-slide-show.htm
(I never tried it myself) If you put "Flash slideshow maker"
in a google search you will see there are lots of em.
Also, other Flash creation programs like SwishMax have
built-in transition effects that you can use. It is much easier
than trying
to do the same thing in Adobe Flash. You could get your
slideshow going quicker since it takes longer to learn Adobe Flash.
luck,

In iOS 4, you could make separate photo slide shows with separate songs. In iOS 5, this has changed. Now only 1 song is allowed at a time. It will not save separate song selections for each slide show. Is there any way to fix this? This is something I

In iOS 4, you could make separate photo slide shows with separate songs.
In iOS 5, this has changed. Now only 1 song is allowed at a time. It will not save separate song selections for each slide show.
Is there any way to fix this? This is something I use every day.
I am on an iPad 2, 32gb, wifi...
Thank you

My Photos app works the same on iOS 5 as it did on iOS 4 i.e. I can have a different track for each album. When I select a track for a photo album I then start the slideshow so that it shows the first couple of photos with the track playing - I'm not sure it's necessary to start the slideshow but I always do and it remembers that track for that album.

Fix for AppleTV photo slide show music stopping after abut 20 minutes?

Fix for AppleTV photo slide show music stopping after abut 20 minutes?

Just ran another series of tests ... I am now convinced that AppleTV's slideshow/screensaver is broken.
Too often it will 'get stuck' on one photo for minutes then show no photo and finally move on; in fact it is doing it right now.
I don't ever remember seeing this occur before the last upgrade.

How can I control the music that plays during Apple TV photo slide shows?

I don't want to make my parents listen to Breaking Benjamin music as they watch my photo slide shows on Apple TV. Need something more sedate. But if a B.B. song is in my iTunes music library, it is a candidate for random selection as background music for my slide shows. How do I control what music plays during Apple TV photo slide shows?

What I find is really silly, is the fact the music video's are listed under that artists albums in the Music menu. And when you go into the video 'album' (called 'Unknown' unless you change it) there is an option to shuffle the tracks. Clicking this just results in an error message. So, they should either remove that option if it is a video album, or, better yet, GET IT TO WORK. So silly of them to omit this.
I have submitted feedback.

Screen Saver Photo Slide Show...

...Hello... This used to work but for some reason it doesn't any more. Whenever I go to the screen saver preferences and choose a folder full of pictures to use as a photo slide show screen saver, it says 'folder contains no pictures'. However, is DOES contain pictures but won't recognize them. All the other screen saver features work besides this one. I tried to download and install some screensaver a while back and it hasn't worked since then... Any ideas? Thanks =)

Help! during my photo slide show/some screens are green and/colored-why

This is my first photo slide show in IMOVIE 8, when I go to "play" my slide show, some photo are NOT showing up INSTEAD a "colored" screen comes up. WHY? Not sure what I did wrong.

I to have the same problem. It is very annoying, I name my photos so that they would be in a specific order or grouping.
It appears that a programmer slipped? When I write code to copy files I would sort the list by filename as done in OS versions prior to 4.0.
The order of the photos is now in the order that they were added to the folder which is then sync'd to our pods.
I for one am not willing to remove and rebuild my whole photo library re-adding the photos to the sync'd in the order I wish to see them every time I wish to add more photos.
It is a disappointment, but I have not been online in a couple of weeks and maybe Apple has caught on and put filename sorting back into the code.

Problems w/ buring DVD of photo slide show & best Premiere Elements 8 upgrade recommendation please.

I created a video slide show in Adobe Photoshop & Premiere elements 8, kept getting messages: "disk space low, exceeded recommended #of slides and/or recommended 30 minute duration". So what, I want a 90 minutes slide slow?(!) It allowed me to complete, but disk burn would never finalize (after stopping at 78% 8 hours later). How do I get this project file to burn in Nero or something similar and is there better software out there? I have a ton of videos to create after this photo slide show & I certainly can't wait all night for a video to burn after it is created.
PS: I have had this problem w/ previous videos I created. i.e. in the past, using same Premiere Elements version, I have combined multiple video clips into one DVD movie but it took all night to burn. Any insight will be much appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.
I agree with John T., in that the pixel x pixel size of the Still Images would be the first thing that I would look into.
Next, I interpret that error message to be related to the available HDD space. His links on furnishing more info will be important there. Pay special attention to furnishing the full specs. of your I/O sub-system, i.e. your HDD's, their size, speed, available defragmented free-space, controller type and how you have them allocated.
A 90 min. DVD should NOT be over the avilable space on a DVD-5 disc.
If you DO have adequate defragmented free-space on your HDD(s), you should be able to Burn to Folder, and then use Nero, Roxio or the great, free ImgBurn, to do the physical burn to DVD.
However, if you have limited defragmented free-space, that will likely fail, as the working files required are very large.
In very general terms, PrE needs between 40 - 60GB of defragmented free-space, just to run effectively and efficiently. When one does either a Burn to Folder, or Burn to Disc, that necessary space can go up.
Also remember that as one approaches about 70% of HDD capacity, performance decreases. As one nears 100%, performance can slow to a crawl, and at 100% catastrophic failure of the HDD is a strong possibility. One should not exceed about 70%, and NEVER go to 100%.
Good luck, and please let us know more, and especially about your I/O sub-system.

Adding music / audio to Photo Slide Show

I have several photo pages in the iWeb Photo Template pages and am giving the option to watch as a slide show.
If the viewer opts for the slide show, can music and/or voice over be automatically and simulaneously played?
How? Thanx.

If you want to add background to a .Mac enhanced slideshow, it is going to take a little post-publishing editing....but it is possible. Check out this thread and especially Bruce Kirman's explanation and example. Very nice...
