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".)

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.

Random order for a slide show?

How do you select a random order for a slide show?

You rang?
I had actually started working on this sometime in the past when this question was asked before. I never got around to finishing it but I cobbled this together this AM:
set newList to {}
tell application "Aperture"
activate
          set imageSel to (the selection)
          if imageSel is {} then
                    error "Select images."
          else
                    repeat until (count of newList) = (count of imageSel)
                              set randomPick to random number from 1 to (count of imageSel)
                              if randomPick is not in newList then set newList's end to randomPick
                    end repeat
                    repeat with i from 1 to count of newList
                              tell item i of imageSel to make new custom tag with properties {name:"Random", value:item i of newList}
                    end repeat
          end if
end tell
Takes a selection and assigns random numbers to each image in the selection,
Creates a custom tag Random and populates it with numbers. If you add the custom field Random to the list view metadata parameters you can sort on it and then switch back to icon view and the images will remain in the random order.
You have to be careful if you change the sort order of course the randomness will be gone and you will need to go back to list view to re-establish it.

Want to crop tunes for iPhoto slide show

I created a play list of 3 songs for wedding slide show, would like to crop out pauses and use just short snip of one, any way to do this? I cropped as directed for iTunes, but when I chose that playlist in iPhoto, the entire songs played. Any suggestions? Entire songs won't fit the photos.
Thanks in advance!!

Susan
You'll need to edit those mp3 files with an audio editor - Audacity is a open-source one - or GarageBand.

How do I select a song from my ITunes Library and apply to a picture folder for a slide show?

How do I selcet a song from my ITunes library and apply it to a picture folder for a slide show. I have a PC, not a Mac.

Short answer:
Click Hide Song(s), it is what you wanted to do...
Long answer:
iTunes in the Cloud is a feature of your iTunes store account that allows you to redownload or stream your past purchases. When you delete a purchased track that is downloaded to your computer (like the first one shown here) you are asked if you also want to hide the song from iCloud. This would remove it from the computer and also stop it showing up with the iCloud symbol as the other tracks from that album (which are not downloaded) do.
If a track shows with the cloud symbol you can play (stream) it by double-clicking the title, or click the cloud symbol to download a local copy to your library. If you try to delete one of these tracks you get a slightly different message confirming that you want to hide the track. Clicking hide will remove the listing from the library and any other device that shows your past purchases.
Should you want to retrieve any item hidden in this way at a later date use Store > View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Hidden Purchases > Manage.
To hide all your previous purchases that are not downloaded to your computer use Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.

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.

I completed my album for a slide show in iPhoto; can't get the slide show to swart with picture number 1.

Whenever I log into icloud.com
Using what version of which browser?
iCloud.com requires Safari 6 or later, Firefox 22 or later, or Google Chrome 28 or later. Have you tried all of those?
If you have, have you tried clearing your browser cache and cookies?
For the first tine since 1989 I'm thinking about buying a PC.
You'd have exactly the same problems on an 8 year old PC too. It's a bit unreasonable to expect such an old Mac to continue to be compatible as software is constantly updated.
Saying that, I'm still able to access iCloud.com successfully in Safari v5.0.6 on a PowerPC Mac running Mac OS X 10.5.8, so the problem you're having is likely to be a browser issue, not something inherently wrong with the computer.
Since all this crap started, Mail won't download my Mac.com or me.com email.
The iCloud.com website is totally unconnected to Mail's ability to download email via IMAP. Have you checked the mail server settings are correctly setup and up-to-date?

Hi, The burn quality of iDVD in very low for my slide shows. Images do no tlook good on playback and the sound track jumps every 99 images due to the way chapters are set up in it. How to I output a slide show to be high quiality?

Hi
the output form iDVD is very poor quality( Low res due to compression by iDVD) when I produce a slide show in iPhoto and share it over to iDVD then burn it. What is the solution? I like to add the title page in idvd ads it looks professional, but hte end output in NOT professional.
Also in iDVD the soundtrack that was flawless in iphoto now jstutters every 99 images and IDVD apparantly can only process bulk images in chapters that contain 99 images. So if you have a slide show with 245 images in you get hesitation at two points of teh slideshow as it struggles to start the next set of 99 images in the slide show!!! How annoying overall. Please help??????

There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

Varying the Slide Transition Time Interval in Slide Show with Music

I have this old iPhoto 4.0.3 version in my PowerBook. Is it possible to create a slide show that's put to music? More importantly, can the transition from slide to slide be varied (e.g., one slide changes after 4 seconds; the next slide changes after 10 seconds; the slide after changes after 6 seconds, etc.) or am I limited to one consistent slide transition interval? Do I need to upgrade to a newer version of iPhoto? Or do I need to use an entirely different application to do varying slide transition time intervals?
Thank you.
Michael

No, you can't vary the time interval in the same slide show.
There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD, but they all have one thing in common: they reduce the quality of the photos to that of a movie still frame and sometimes limit the number of photos you can use.
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it.

Work around for Custom Slide Show

My powerpoint 2010 presentation has several custom slide show to 'repeat' the current slide when clicked. After publishing in Adobe Connect via Presenter, the button with action to show and run the custom slide show did not work. Is there a work around this? I also hid the playbar, I was required to create/add buttons on the presentation to be used as navigation controls. One of the buttons is set up with an action to show and run the custom slide show (which basically repeats the current slide).

Apperently iTunes 11 is not affected (Apple stil makes iTunes11 for the 14 yr old Microsoft XP OS, but not for anything PPCs can run. Go figure)
"Next door" to Steve was metaphoric, he lived in Los Altos, about 15 miles away, but he cast a big shadow!
On 9.2.1/10.4.11 differences, some time in the past someone selected 'save file' and checked the box 'don't ask again' on your computers dialog box. That's why you're not given a choice wih the file downloads. I would think that selection should be able to be reversed.
iTunes 9.2.1/OS10.4.11 puts those downloaded URLs into the Music Libary of iTunes, no matter if it's opened directly, or you click on the file on your desktop. You can create a new playlist, highlight the selection in the Music Libary, and drag it to your new playlist to keep alll the steaming URLs together. NOTE, this only creates an alias, the URL copied by iTunes must remain in the Music Libary. You can then delete the the files on the desktop, if you want. I did multiple stations this way in 9.2.1, they all show in either the new playlist created, or in the Music Libary, and remain after the desktop files are deleted and trash emptied.
You can switch sations by double clicking them. Another note, all the URLs were all from vtune.
I hope this helps.
PS, I forgot how clunky Tiger is compared to Leopard...

Changing attributes for a slide show's background image

I want to change the "darkness" of the picture that I use as a backdrop for all my slides. I do not see how this can be done within Keynote. Individual imported pictures, yes, but not ones that I have designated as background pictures in the Slide Inspector > Appearance > Background > Image Fill.
I do this because I can change the background fill for multiple slides by shift clicking on the slides to select them, and then setting the background image all at once. But I often find the image is to dark (because I place text over the top of the background image), and so I want to lighten it up.
Is there any way to do this short of using the image adjustments within a program like iPhoto and saving the modified file? Is there another way to do what I want?
Thanks for the help from the experts.
Also, as a bonus question, it really bothers me that there is no easy way to change the font attributes on multiple slides all at once. Unless someone has a better idea . . .
Tom

There are several threads that deal with this issue, but here is the basic info:
1) You cannot change a "soundtrack" within a slideshow.
2) You can create a series of independent slideshows, each with its own soundtrack. Then you can sequence each to the next via a Hyperlink. However ...
3) Any "synchronization" of the Builds and Transitions you may have Recorded with the soundtrack will NOT work if the slideshow is played as a Hyperlink. The soundtrack will play when the slideshow launches, but you will have to trigger the Builds and Transitions manually.
4) All bets are off if you try to export any of this to another format, such as QuickTime, PowerPoint, iMovie, etc.
good luck

AS 2 for infinite slide show loop

I don't know if there is a simple answer to my question. Here goes. I created an infinitely looping series of photos that scrolls from right to left. The animation was created with 6 photos and was animated using AS 3.
Is there substitute coding using AS 2 in place of my AS 3 coding?
Or is it more complicated and does it depend on how the photos were set up in my document, how the photos and groups of photos were converted to symbols etc??
here is my current AS 3 code that works.
var centerX:Number = stage.stageWidth / 2;
var galleryWidth:Number = infiniteGallery.width;
var speed:Number = 0;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveGallery);
function moveGallery(e:Event):void {
speed = -(0.02 * (mouseX - centerX));
infiniteGallery.x+=speed;
if (infiniteGallery.x>0) {
infiniteGallery.x= (-galleryWidth/2);
if (infiniteGallery.x<(-galleryWidth/2)) {
infiniteGallery.x=0;
I'm not a coding guru and find my AS stuff through blogs and tutorials and need to be led by the hand.
Thanks!

kglad
thanks for the info - but I did find coding that worked for pausing multiple instances on the timeline in AS3
I imported my infinite slide show loop as a movie clip at a pause on the timeline and it works great
Only issue is that the infinite slide show loop pops into the scene instead of fading into the animation
I found a snippet that fades it out great at this pause - but can't make it fade in this section of my animation
here is AS 3 coding that fades it out
any thoughts on the code or what I might do to this code that will make movie clip fade in?
Do I need to put this fade in code on a different timeline?
any info will help
infiniteGallery.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fadeOut);
function fadeOut(e:Event){
infiniteGallery.alpha -= 0.01;
thanks

Best Adobe Product for Creating Slide Show

I'm trying to find out what is the best Adobe product to use to create slide shows? I have Photoshop CS2 and just got Premiere Pro (which I haven't used before).

Many options, it depends on what you want to do.
Premiere Pro can easily make a video that displays a series of images in turn, with optional transitions between them, but the viewer can't navigate around as they could with a PowerPoint file.
Later versions of Photoshop can also assemble still photos into a video sequence.
If you want to display the slideshow on a website, you're looking at an HTML/JavaScript solution.
Finally you can combine your slides into a PDF file and set it to full-screen mode with automatic timings.

Suggestions for the Slide Show.

I waited until the 1.0.2 release hoping some of these features might have been incorporated.
Just a few small changes would make the Slide Show feature a real "Show Stopper".
* That annoying "PLAY" sign which appears (always over the most important central part of the image) for virtually the full duration of the first slide - can it please be moved to the top, bottom or a corner?
* Similarly, the "Caption Full" feature covers a significant chunk of the image. Why not instead, include the label and rating info in the "Caption Compact" display at the bottom left?
* Related to this, when hitting C to change back to "Caption Compact" the announcement (right in the centre of the screen) is totally unnecessary.
* Can we have the ability to change the background colour and/or add a narrow contrasting border to the image?
* Can the images be set to fade from one to another rather than simply jump as they do now?
* When the slide show is instigated for (say) Green Labels only, can changing the label to (say) red eliminate that slide from the sequence?
The addition of these features would turn Bridge into a full-fledged previewing application for professional photographers and studios.
Chris.

Seconded. I was thinking that a H keyboard shortcut instead of only (H)elp
Text could act as a (H)ide button too. That is: when any info text is
already displayed on top of the image pressing H for the first time would
hide that text, and for the second time, would show Help Text.
Couple of other ideas:
1. A keyboard shortcut to edit (in PS or CameraRAW) current slideshow image.
This is one of the strangest omissions. Maybe Return could act as one
instead of cloning already available Next Image behaviour?
2. Hide mouse pointer when in fullscreen mode.
3. Better mouse navigation: Now Left and Right mouse buttons both act as
Next Image, Middle Button and wheel are unoccupied. How about: Left Button -
Next Image, Right Button - Previous Image, Double-click - Edit Image or
maybe Exit Slideshow, Wheel to navigate through images back and forth
_without_pausing_the_slideshow (as opposed to other < & > shortcuts which
_pauses_ current slideshow - sometimes I want to go back to last image for a
while without pausing the slideshow. Or maybe sacrifice right (and
consequently left) mouse button navigate ability for having proper context
menu with image specific commands?
4. I'm not sure about this one since the slideshow window could act
independent entity but what about synchronizing slideshow with normal view -
the last image of the slideshow would be selected in Bridge after exiting
the slideshow. What do you think?
5. Currently slideshow uses only previews instead of real image data so it
could be fast. But that prevents it from abilities such as viewing images at
100% (and more) magnification and e.g. showing histogram for the image. How
about _an_option_ in slideshow to use real image data (slower but with
benefits of having Zoom Tool from PS with it's respective keyboard shortcuts
and maybe a histogram palette?).
6. 1.02 added _nice_ ability to have fullscreen slideshow on the second
monitor. Thank you. This is controlled by initial placement of Bridge before
entering the slideshow. That is: when you invoke slideshow when Bridge is on
the second monitor - it will play on it. How about: slideshow would fill the
second monitor as well in situation when you pressed W with slideshow
_window_ being on the second monitor?
7. How about remembering and restoring the last size and placement of the
slideshow _window_? When pressing W and when entering new slideshow.

Converting m2ts videos for iPhoto slide show.

My brother used a new camera during a recent trip we took together. He has some great videos, but they are m2ts format and I use iPhoto to produce my slide shows. (I burn the slide show using iDVD). How do I convert his videos so that I can use them? My computer is not able to open them at this point.

One for the iMovie forum, I think.
