Trying to create a slide show

I'm trying to create a slide show. when i put my pics. in they are distored, not clear. what must i do.

trusme
Lots of details absent.
Besides what version of Premiere Elements you are using and the computer operating system on which it is running, where are you creating this slideshow
a. Elements Organizer/Create/Slideshow/Slideshow Editor
or
b. Solely Premiere Elements workspace
If Premiere Elements workspace, then we need details of the project preset that you or the program is setting. Is this an all photos or a photos and video presentation. If photos and videos, please give
a. photos, how many and pixel dimensions of each
b. video, format and duration
What is this slideshow end product going to be
a. DVD-VIDEO standard or widescreen on DVD disc
b. AVCHD format on DVD disc
c. Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc
Many of these questions have already been asked, but I include them here to keep my focus on what needs to be learned about the issue.
If you need help in answering, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks.

I am trying to create a slide show but QT Pro won't open now

I am trying to create a slide show (Time Lapse Movie) from thousands of photographs and was told to buy QT Pro. After downloading QT 7 and QT Pro yesterday, the program would not operate correctly, although I was able to work with it somewhat. Today it started out Ok but then back to same as yesterday (will not open). Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

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.

I'm trying to create a slide show with the images in my selected order, not alphabetically and not r

This is the third time I've tried this, none of this stuff works

Make a Collection for the images you want in the slideshow and then re-arrange them there.

I created a slide show using my photos on iphoto can I burn this to a dvd with the music in the backgroun

I created a slide show using photos from iphoto and I was able to put it to music to view it on my mac. I am trying to figure out a way to download it or burn it to a DVD with the music in order that it can be given as a gift. Also is there a way to use multiple songs for the slideshow.
thanks much

First if you slideshow requires more than one audio track go to iTunes and create a new playlist with the music you want. You can take the total time of the playlist and divide by the number of slides to get the approximate playing time for each slide.
In iDVD go into the slideshow window and then click on the Audio button at the right. Locate the playlist and drag it into the music bin at the bottom of the window.
Click to view full size
Be sure that non of the audio tracks are DRM protected tracks from the iTunes store. You won't be able to use them if they are. And remember this is only for slideshows created by iDVD from still photos imported from iPhoto.

PSE 8, No audio when creating a slide show

I am unable to create a slide show with audio. All other functions in the slide show function properly but unable to get the audio portion to play. Receive error message "Unable to add audio file, the selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (CODEC) installed." Checked and all the Vista CODEC's are installed & functioning properly. Checked and downloaded the latest CODEC from Realtek for the audio board. No audio recognized within Organizer or from file folders. Went to Adobe Tech. and got brushed off. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

1. I have Windows Media Player 11. It plays my music files which are mostly .MP3 I am unable to locate the Adobe music files using Windows Explorer. May be an indication that they didn't load when the program was installed. I have uninstalled and re-installed PSE 8. from my disc's.
2. I Tunes is my primary player.
3. OS is Vista Home premium
After running around in circles for several days I have tried the following:
1. I opened PRE8 and created a slide show and imported audio file from my music folder. Played OK. Slide show performed OK. I did not locate the included music folder with program.
<edited>
3. In PSE8 I searched with Windows Explorer and could not locate any audio music files. The error message I receive is:
"Unable to add the audio file (C:\Program Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\6.0\usic\A_Taste_Of_Sicily.mp3) The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (codec) installed."
Note that it is searching in PSE6 for the file. I missed that before. I long ago uninstalled PSE6 and PSE 7 was installed in its place and since PSE8.
Now I am suspicious that the music files never loaded with the install of PSE8 and it is searching for music files that no longer exist. Not sure what is corrupted and not sure what else to try. I think I will reload PSE7 and see if I can locate the included audio files and attempt to load a slide show with PSE7.

How do I create a slide show in dream weaver

I just purchased dream weaver cs5.5. I need to mahe a slide show. I tried a flash,but my flash is out of date. I can't even figure out how to update it...I tried!
Any simple way to creat a slide whow? I tried the widgets....they are not good.....I tried enlarging them and placing a color back ground. then when I view it, it has not changed.
Please, I need to know how to create a slide show.
Thanks,
Tyler

Hi Tyler,
in addition to martcol's hint: You could have a look to "Adobe Widget Browser", for example: "html5 Video Player Widget" or "jQuery Cycle" or "Lightbox Gallery Widget" aso.
On the other hand there are really so many nice options and "gimmicks", like these ready-made solutions. Later, when you see the mode of operation and how they work you could use a DW-flash-show, ok?
Just look around in and on these pages and don't get confused by the large range, look at the different sides in peace, it is worthwhile.

Place the individual music files into a new iTunes playlist. Choose it (not the individual files) by hitting the OK button.

I created a slide show in imovie for my daughters 21st with voice overs from friends and family which was all working fine but now the voice recordings are not playing at all. Obviously some setting has changed but I can't find which one.

I keep saying this over and over, in the hope that people who do a search will find it. Apple cannot possibly test for or be reponsible for the bazillion combinations of adapter, cables, and TV's out there. The only monitors that are 100% guaranteed to work with the MacBook Pro are the Cinema Displays and Thunderbolt Displays, because, they're made by Apple. They're expensive, but they work perfectly.
My guess is that you bought a cheap MDP to HDMI cable, or have a defective one. From my reading of these boards over the past few months, cheap cables have a high failure rate. And the regular priced ones have only a slightly less of one. Try a new one. Make sure you do not damage the Thunderbolt port.

How do I create a slide show in iPhoto from an iCloud photo stream

ow do I create a slide show in iPhoto from an iCloud photo stream?

Do you mean from a Shared Stream or My Photo Stream?
In iPhoto on your iPhone, iPad you create slideshow projects by selecting photos and then sharing them as a new slideshow. http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnkbc26e276
You can publish your slideshow in iCloud: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2333

How can I create a slide show and insert it into an email

I created a slide show of some pictures I want to share with my sales associate but can't seem to figure out how to Email it. any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

You will need to export it as a QuickTime movie and share that.
That said, movies are big files and many recipients will be less than delighted to get large attachments that can cause them problems in their mailboxes. Better to upload the movie somewhere and then email them a link. Dropbox is an excellent way to do this.]

Newbie Here - How to Create a Slide Show in CS5?

I am using Windows 7 and I am familiar with PSElements 8 where creating a slide show is easy. I just want to create a slide show in CS5 (in Bridge?? View>Slideshow Options?) using vacation photos from several folders, and I want to order them manually.
First, I can't figure out how to display more than one folder in the Content panel in Bridge. Second, I can't figure out how to create and intersperse "blank" slides with text.   Third (and I haven't even gotten this far yet), how do I save the slide show and burn a VCD? This was all so easy and intuitive in PSE8, I can't believe it seems nearly impossible in CS5!
As an alternative, should I simply re-save the photos as JPEGs (they are PSDs now), export them to a Desktop folder, open them in PSE8 and create the slide show there instead?   Thanks for any help and suggestions!

1) Bridge has a new feature (can't think of the term at the moment) but it works like instancing or virtual copies. Select all of the photo's that you want and place them in the "collection" (Ah I knew I would think of it) Move to another folder and move them into the same collection and so on. These are virtual copies in that they don't really exist, but are a link to the original images. You then can use the collection for the slide show.
2) Just create a page same size as your photo's in photoshop with what ever color background and put your text on it.
3A)The slide show can be exported as a pdf or swf. Windows can then copy the file to a cd. If you choose swf, you may need to alter the html file (I assume it generates one, if not it isn't har to create one) The html file would help the web browser determine the correct size to display at. If you have flash, it can be used to create a html file as well.
3B)If you would like the slide show to be displayed on a tv screen, then your cd/dvd will need to use a format that your dvd player can play, mp2 is the standard, but some can display jpg's, some are blue ray, etc. For exporting into the correct video format, then one of the following can be used. After Effects, Premeire pro, Encore, Photoshop (If you have quicktime installed and you are using one of the formats that quicktime supports like mp4)
If you have quicktime installed, paying the 20 bucks may be worth it as it will allow you to take your jpg images and generate an animation file as avi or mov. But can save as mp4 as well.
4) In Bridge you can select all of the images and run image processor on them. This plug in is part of photoshop there fore it will be in the menu's under photoshop. It will let you specify the files size, format and any actions, etc. It will then place them all into a folder that you specify.

I created a slide show on work computer. Placed photos and movies in Media Browser. Want to use another computer (laptop) to give presentation. Do I need to copy media browser to laptop or are pictures and movies embedded in slide show and can go anywhere

I created a slide show on my work computer and placed many photos and movies in my work computer's Media Browser. Want to use another computer (laptop) to give the presentation and therefore change location of slide show. Do I need to copy the media browser to the laptop or once the pictures and movies are embedded in the original slide show, can I take it anywhere and not worry about the media browser?
I also want to optimize a movie for Keynote, so it's not too large a file. Please help.

Graphic, sound and video files are copied into the Keynote file, but make sure Keynote > Preferences - include sound and movies check box is ticked.
If you have added additional fonts they will need be changed to reflect what is on the destination machine.
If the other machine has a different Keynote version, ensure the same transitions and effects are available.

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.

How can I change the order of photos in iPhoto so I can create the slide show I want?

How to change the order of photos in iPhoto on my iPad, so I can create the slide show I want.

Here's what I did to generate a slide show with Ken Burns effect on the iPad...with the exact same slide order I created on the iMac. I have iOS 5.5 and iPhoto App on New iPad, and iPhoto 11 on iMac.
In iPhoto for the Mac, create a new Album and give it the name of your Slide Show. Drag or import the photos you want into the album. Rearrange the order of the album photos as desired. Do this by selecting Manual Sort under View/Sort Photos or simply start dragging thumbnails to the places you want them (the sort method will automatically change to Manual).
When you have the order you want, shut down iPhoto on the Mac to make sure iPhoto's database gets updated with the new photos and their order.
Restart iPhoto and go to File/Export on the top menu. Select File Export at the top left of the Export window. Set JPEG quality to Max, Size to Full Size, and File Name to Album Name and Number. Set Subfolder Format to None.
Click Export to bring up what looks like the Finder. Create an empty folder on your hard drive under Pictures and give it the name of your slide show. Click on the new folder and then click OK at the bottom right of the Finder-like window. The new folder will contain JPEG files with file names in the form, Album Name - 001.jpeg, Album Name - 002.jpeg, etc. There will also be an iPOD Photo Cache folder. Click at the top of the Name column to order files by file name. 001 will be your first slide, 002 your second, etc.
Now start up iTunes. You are going to force the Mac to sync these new photos with the iPad. Click on your iPad device in the list at the left. Now click on the Photo button at top right. Make sure the Sync Photos check box at top is checked, then select Choose Folder... from the list at right. In the Finder-like window that opens, select the folder where your slides are. Make sure that All Folders is checked, then select Open at the bottom right.
Now click Sync at bottom right. The slides will be copied to your iPad. Both the Photos app and the iPhoto app will properly handle the slide order, and the Ken Burns effect is available using the iPhoto app.
I ran across this problem in preparing a Ken Burns slide show for a wedding. Drove me nuts for a week why the order changes when syncing an iPhoto album from iMac to iPad. But this worked and gave me several options. I plan to use the digital AV adapter for iPad and show slides on a large screen TV using HDMI connection from iPad to TV. TV essentially acts as an external monitor for the iPad.
Hope this helps!
