Trying to overlay photo slide show over video

Hi, I'm relatively new to iMovie but couldn't seem to work this one out myself.
I've have video of myself talking, and without disrupting the audio track, I would like to overlay a photo slide show of still images over part of my dialog, but can't figure out how to do this. Ideally, the video would fade out/fade in to the photo slide show, but the audio track would remain constant, and then when the photo slide show is completed, fade out/fade in to the straight video again.
Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!

Select the clip with the audio and use Clip>Detach Audio. You have to put the stills on the main video track because you can't add transition to stills or clips on the overlay or B-roll track. Once the audio is separated you can replace the picture with stills and start building your slideshow on the video track.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.
    Bob

    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.

  • 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.

  • I am trying to connect my Macbook pro 2010 to my Samsung HDTV using a mini display port to hdtv cable. Trying to play a slide show in IPhoto but I only get sound with no picture. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I am trying to connect my Macbook pro 2010 to my Samsung HDTV using a mini display port to hdtv cable. Trying to play a slide show in IPhoto but I only get sound with no picture. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    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.

  • 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 =)

  • 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.

  • Photo Slide Shows - inconsistent quality

    Last summer I burned a very complicated idvd photo slide show using digital photos in RAW format from my Nikon D70 and the slides looked really great. I just tried to do it again - same camera, same lens, still in RAW and the photos - while looking good during construction and test runs, come out very fuzzy on the burned dvd. I'm really puzzled. Can anyone explain what I might have done differently to yield such different results? [and how I get back to the good results?)

    Tom,
    I hope you have read Preparing images for DVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/17.html
    The best you can do is get about a 640x480 equivalent image on a DVD - that's about 0.3 megapixels - so there is NO way you can match the image quality of your high resolution digital images.
    Despite their names, you will get slightly better image quality using the 'Best Performance' mode than you will with the 'Best Quality' mode. Perhaps you used BP before and BQ now.
    I have used FotoMagico for creating slideshows and feel I got better image quality than iMovie or iDVD and some people like Photo to Movie.

  • Modifying Photo Slide Show Template

    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,

    Hello, i am currently working on a video and photo slide show to promote at a trade show we will be attending on thursday and friday, i have a mac pro with a single 8800gt video card, is there any way possible to show the slide show on one screen using iphoto, and then on the other screen play the video using quicktime?
    Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

    nevermind, after playing with it a while i figured it out, i just created an album in iphoto and set the desktop background to cycle through the photos every 5 seconds.

    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.
