Trying to create an automatic slide show

Hello Hello
I've read here where some folks have discovered that making a slideshow exported from iPhoto, or using some sort of quick method in iMovie, produces less than desirable results (even if the jpg files were a decent resolution size)?
I'm working in both iMovie, and mainly in FCE. I do know that each transition placed between each still photo on the timeline either in iMovie or FCE MUST be done manually (placed - inserted where you want them), then all MUST be rendered.
If you're working with many many photos, is there a good quality automatic method to have perhaps the same type transitions placed between EVERY photo AUTOMATICALLY?
Done for you?
Producing the SAME quality as if you'd placed them and rendered them manually yourself?
Thanx
Mike

...is there a

AUTOMATICALLY?
It's possible to apply a transition to two clips or to many. Just select all the clips where you want the transition(s) applied.

Pressing S doesn't start or stop automatic slide show in PowerPoint 2008

I have an automatic slide show created in PowerPoint 2008 which runs fine on PowerPoint 12.2.3 on a Mac running OS 10.5.8, but when running the same version of PowerPoint on 10.6.2, pressing the S and equal keys do not stop and start the presentation. The only thing that stops the automatic slideshow is control-mouse-click (which of course brings up the sub-menu). Has any one else experienced this?

Hi Glo H,
I tried that and it didn't fix the problem...the music still starts a bit choppy (part way into the music) at the tail end of the 1st slide/beginning of second. I don't know if I mentioned earlier, that the music, when it does come in, is at the point it should be, i.e. like it started with the first slide, just not coming out of the speakers...if that makes any sense
Thanks,
Rob

IPhoto crashes when creating a new slide show

iPhoto immediately crashes, when I try to create a new slide show.
I have already tried to create a completely new library, but happens just the same: I want to create a new slide show (with only some pictures), and then the program crashes and I must kill it via "force quit".
I also de-installed iPhoto and then installed it again. No change at all. The program chrashes when I try to create a new slide show.
Any idea what could help?

It looks like there's something in your account that's the culprit. It could be a preference file other than iPhoto's. Here's how to test that:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
1 - close all applications.
2 - open your Home/Library folder and Option-drag (copy) the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
3 - select the contents of your Home/Library/Preferences folder and drag them into the Trash bin in the Dock. You will be asked to provide your Admin password.
4 - reboot.
5 - run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed
6 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
B - Open the Preferences folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace or Skip button.
D - reboot.
7 - If the problem is NOT fixed, drag the contents of the Preference folder on the Desktop into the Home/Library/Preference folder and replace the entire contents that were created by clicking on Replace.
8 - reboot.

I just remembered I have a couple of screen snaps online to explain how
it's done:
1. place your base image and name it in the inspector
2. from the smart objects palette grab the head action item, the one
with a question mark in its upper, green half - the 2nd one from the
left. Drop that into the pages head section.
3. in the inspector set the action to run OnLoad and select the base
image that you named in the first step and set the other parameters.
This was done in the days of GL6, but not much had changed in GL CS.
Anyway you might also refer to GL's online help. It describes how to set
up all the actions that ship with GL.

Is there a way to create a rotating slide show that changes once every 24 hours?

Is there a way to create a rotating slide show that changes once every 24 hours?

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Then try deleting the library again.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Can I create an iDVD slide show and keep the picture resolution high so the pictures will be HDTV quality or near HDTV quality for playback on a DVD player?

How do I create an iDVD slide show that does not compress the photos making them low-res? When I insert the iDVD I have made into a DVD player connected to an HDTV, the playback quality of the pictures are very low. Is there a way to correct this when creatinf the iDVD?

The post by Bengt Wärleby in this topic describes a workflow for producing a high quality slideshow but not an HD one as macpmaus pointed out isn't possible: Create HD slideshow: Apple Support Communities

Automatic slide show

Another query regarding images...
I would like to place an automatic slide show on the opening page of my website. I have previously done this using a flash movie in Dreamweaver, and wonder if it's possible with iWeb. I want a series of images fading slowly one to the other (as on the iWeb album page), and for this 'slideshow' to loop. It would automatically open when the page is loaded, without any command from the viewer. Is it possible to produce something like this using iPhoto?

Some remarks on the slideshow :
1. The closing </head> element before the <body> element is already present at the beginning of the code. Remove the one at the beginning.
2. The closing </body> element before the </html> element is missing.
3. This Javascript file appears twice in the code :
<script src="http://jeffnitschke.com/test2/jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
4. Use one of these files :
<script src="http://jeffnitschke.com/test2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://jeffnitschke.com/test2/jquery-1.4.3.min.js"></script>
5. The styles in this code :
<style>
</style>
appears to be the same as in this file :
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://jeffnitschke.com/test2/nivo-slider.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
Use one or the other.
Suggestion : Use relative pathnames instead of absolute ones. This :
instead of this :
It make the slideshow server independent.
And why has image 2.jpg a link and the others have not? The link doesn't appear to respond.

Creating a Flash Slide-Show

Hello Community,
Can somebody explain shortly how to create a Flash Slide-Show in a HTML Document? Let's say I have 5 images with logo and want that they change every 10 seconds. Do I need to work with JavaScript?
Regards,
MC

Your best bet will be to search Google using terms like "AS3 slideshow tutorial" (or use "AS2" if that's your preference).
A flash slideshow will not be likely to use javascript since Flash primarily uses actionscript.

Help! I thought I was pretty good setting up slide shows and adding music. I'm trying to make a new slide show from a great trip to New York. I can get theme music but no music at all from iTunes. Checking my older slide shows, which did play music!

Help! I thought I was pretty good setting up slide shows and adding music. I'm trying to make a new slide show from a great trip to New York. I can get theme music but no music at all from iTunes. Checking my older slide shows, which did play music, it's all gone!
Problem seems to have started after updating to Mavericks.
Is there a box I need to check/uncheck?
Any help very welcome!

Hopefully you've seen the post from Terence Devlin? I've pasted it below.
In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.
Pity Apple didn't either warn us or set up a bug fix!

When I create a DVD slide show, the images on TV are 4:3 instead of 16:9. Fix? (Using version 11.)

When I create a DVD slide show, the images on TV are 4:3 instead of 16:9. Fix? (Using version 11.)

Hi Christina,
I used it because other facets of my work in graphics require conversion, not just FCP, so I am used to popping it open quickly using it on the fly, in the field when shooting. I back up, then convert typically on my laptop while it sits on the seat of my pickup while I am photographing the next portion of the training. I do have the files backed up (in ordered structure as shot and preserved on the cards) both on my laptop, also mirrored in the RAID and once again on a second external firewire LaCie and make sure that every little file is in there as it should be. Thanks for the info. on that though, appreciate it. Will probably switch to using FCP to that level of Log and Capture in the future because it seems more basic. I am not sure using L&C would make any difference on the problem I seem to be having here. I will create a small sample file and give it a try for future reference. Again, thank you.
Up until this week the Quicktime conversions I have been creating and composing from have been compressed in H.264 (720 X 480 to fit our LMS stage), and have been working well without a hitch. And 8 of the 11 of these sequences are still exported to a true 16:9 without a hitch. They are sharp, bright and the color is great. The three orphans are also sharp with good color, however squished from side to side. It simply makes no sense that data that has been saved identically, edited identically and exported with identical settings would change in mid-stream like that.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I do appreciate that very much.

I can not open i photo. it needs a library that i can use to import photos but i created already books, slide shows and had over 6.000 pictures in the librarybut i can

i photo does not open. It says i photo needs a photo library but I had more that 6.000 pictures in my library. I created already books and slide shows. it seems everthing is gone.
I get as reply
- select a library from list -- but no list
or
- find another library
or
- create a new one and import photos later
any chance te recuperate or find all I had in i photo

You can try and recover deleted files from your Mac with an app like File Salvage
To create a new Library:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'.By default it goes in your Pictures Folder.
To save book etc that you have created you need to back up your Library.
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
Also, please don't type in block capitals. They are hard to read and on the forum it looks like you'e shouting at everybody.

Create 16:9 slide shows!?

Why can't I create slide shows in 16:9 format!? 4:3 is so outdated today (2013).

If you don't have Premiere Elements as well, then you are limited to the Windows Media formats. In addition to the profiles I pointed out above, I've since seen that Photoshop Elements is supplied with several more options in the path C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\Assets\locale\en_US\tv_profiles (for PSE12).
The ones entitled 'Widescreen Enhanced Definition and Widescreen High Definition may be worth trying. If neither these, nor the the HD Windows Media format I linked to above. still don't produce what you want, then you will need to look elsewhere for a solution. ProShow Gold - Fast and Fun HD Slideshows, a dedicated slide show program, is well recommended.
Please do try those other profiles and post back if they worked for you or not.
Cheers,
Neale

How do I create image pushing slide show in Flash?

Hi. I am wondering if anybody can tell me how to create a picture PUSH. I have three images that I wish to work with. By pushing I mean having an image come in from the left (or right) and place itself on top of the other (or pushing the other out of view). Like a slide show of three images scrolling along but one stops for a brief period before the other image comes into view.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

As Pat mentioned, this question might be best suited for the Flash Professional forum, I just happen to have the link handy
Thanks,
Chris

Creating a simple slide show

I'd like to create a slide show using 30 jpeg files. I'd like each slide to pause for 5 seconds before moving to the next one and for it to go in a loop. I would need to be able to save it as a swf file. I'm using Flash professional CC.
I can't find a simple straight forward guide for doing this.
Any help much appreciated.

Put the images along the timeline as I indicated and place the following code in a separate layer in frame 1...
var timer:Timer = new Timer(5000); // creates a timer set to trigger every 5 seconds
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, changeFrames); // creates a listener for when the timer executes
timer.start();
function changeFrames(evt:TimerEvent):void {
     if(currentFrame == 30){
          gotoAndStop(1);
     } else {
          nextFrame();
stop(); // stops at frame 1 for the start of the slideshow
