Two part iPhoto slideshow?

Is it possible to create a slideshow which is basically two parts and synched with two different songs? For example, I want to create one slideshow showing (first part) pictures of the wedding ceremoney and (second part) pictures of the reception. For the ceremoney I woul like the pics to be synched with one particular song and then transition to song number two as the pics from the reception start.
Any suggestions?

1. When sending photos as attachments in Mail, how do you make the attachment show up as a file, and not as an actual image?
In Mail under the format menu ==> make plain text
2. When I explore the Photo directory, I get to IPhotoLibrary (I think this is a package file) and can not browse down into the individual .jpgs. How do I see the actual jpegs?
1 - use iPhoto to browse your photos
2 - to us iPhoto photos for other purposes in an open/upload dialogue page look in the lower right hand conner under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto and select your photos there

How do i separate two pictures on one slide in iphoto slideshow

I have created an iphoto slideshow. The iphoto software creates some slides with two photos on the slide. Is there a way to separate the two photos to create two slides?

Use a more basic template.

IDVD/iPhoto slideshow issues

I've been reading in these discussions and although I've learned quite a bit, nothing has helped fix my particular issue. first let me just add my two cents here, I just used the iDVD/iPhoto slideshow to make, process, and burn to disks extensively in June, and used some of the same photos as now, and there were no problems with quallity, nothing, so I'm saying these issues have come about with updates or changes since then in the way the programs work.
That being said, here's my problem the final disk distorts the pictures in the slideshow, they look as though there are moving parts in some of them, a sort of waving shaky effect, reminds me of the old television sets when there was a problem with the vertical hold and were about to start rolling, remember that? Also, over saturated color, and darker.
This is what I have tried to improve the final burning, I saved the slideshow from iDVD to disk image and burn the copy in disk utility, if anything, the distortions were more noticeable.
Then I recreated the slideshow in iDVD by sending it from iPhoto, checked all the boxes for Ken burns on all the individual pictures, as well as making sure it was checked in the settings, I changed the format to wide screen then saved to disk image as soon as it was finished, and played it in the DVD player, where it was distorted as disks burned from iDVD, (interestingly enough when played through the iDVD the show is beautifully rendered with no distortions, so there goes the theory aboout monitor vs television being toi blame). I bought verbatim DVD disks, but if the DVD player already shows distortion, it is not in the burning process, but in the processing in iDVD.
During this several reports have been sent to apple on my behalf, saying iDVD suddenly quit, when in fact it hadn't or I had simply closed it, but there were reports so I sent them.
Something within the progarms has changed. Is this an issue waiting to be fixed? Do I have to do something different because of a change? Quite truthfully, I am too ignorant to make the whole slideshow in iMovie, I've tried, it's too much for me and I don't have the time or inclination to learn it when I was extremely happy with the way iDVD/iPhoto made my slideshows before.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks

Have you read: iDVD 6.0 Help - Preparing images for DVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/17.html ?
Feeding iDVD high-resolution still images doesn't help quality.
the final disk distorts the pictures in the slideshow, they look as though there are moving parts in some of them, a sort of waving shaky effect ..
When sharp, still images are used you will see interlacing effects that make parts of images flicker. Images on a TV set are interlaced - meaning you see two slightly different images (called 'fields') that alternate at a 1/60 second rate making the image appear to 'shimmer' of 'flicker'.
(interestingly enough when played through the iDVD the show is beautifully rendered with no distortions, so there goes the theory aboout monitor vs television being to blame).
Sorry, but using the preview function in iDVD does NOT represent the final quality of the DVD that will be produced because it uses the uncompressed source material - think of it as a 'for position only' view of the project.
iDVD produced DVDs WILL look better on a conventional CRT TV set (which has less than 640x480 pixels in NTSC) than it will on a computer monitor (with many more pixels) full screen.

Apple TV no longer plays iPhoto slideshows (individually)

I have been using AppleTV for a couple of years, primarily to play iPhoto slideshows to music on our TV's. With a recent update (either to Apple TV, iTines or iPhoto, not sure, but I think it changed after an Apple TV update) we can no longer watch our individual iPhoto slideshows (By individual slide shows, I mean we used to be able to choose what slide show or album we wanted to play with music on the Apple TV. i.e.: vacation slideshow, birthday slideshow, Christmas slideshow, etc...) Now when you select what photos you want to share in iTunes, I check those albums & slideshows I want available but some do not appear on Apple TV and those that do appear are automatically combined (for example it will combine Vacation and Christams slideshows into one massive slide show and their is no way to select one or the other.) Until a month or two ago this was not the case. I know I can create slideshows and save them to iMovie/iTunes or burn to disc but I do not want to do that, I like keeping them in iPhoto so they can constantly be added to and altered, thats the fun of it!
Any ideas or known fixes would be appriciated. I love how Apple is always changing things for the better, but every so often they update software and end up taking away features that I use! It can be frustrating!
Thanks in adavnce for your help!

I cannot figure out how to move or convert an existing 'slideshow' to an 'album'. (in the end, all I really need to do is move the pix from a given slideshow to an album so I can view it as a slide show on Apple TV) I don't mind if the slideshows are shuffled on the TV as long as I can keep each slide show seperate. I basically use my iPhoto slideshows as a drop off point so we can watch them on Aplle TV. I never really do much with them in iPhoto except add new photos to existing shows now and then, I had the slideshows set to shuffle on Apple TV anyway. If I could figure out how to convert each slide show to its own album that would probably work. (re-creating each slide show is not a good option since some of my family slideshows contain hundreds or in some cases over a thousand photos). I've tried dragging the slide show to "albums" catagory but that doesnt work.
Thank you for the quick response!

I've got a new iMac with Mountain Lion OS. Created a slideshow complete with music in iPhoto. Every time I try to export to iPhoto slideshow folder, it freezes. Help!

I've got a new iMac with Mountain Lion OS. Have created a slideshow complete with music in iPhoto, but every time that I try to export it to an iPhoto slideshow folder, it gets halfway through and freezes. This has been going on for a couple of days. I've tried opening iPhoto holding down the option key, but it doesn't make a difference. Any advice, please?

Upgrade to v9.4.1 or
Trash the HP Plug in from /Library/Application Support/iPhoto
There are two libraries where this plugin might be
HD/ Library
and
HD/Users/Your Name / Library
(On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)

How to put Titles in iPhoto slideshows

I truly love the slideshows I create in iPhoto with music...
"BUT", I'd also like to add a brief comment before, during or after the slideshow, and I've found this impossible to do.
Is Apple waiting for the new upgrade to address this problem?...
I've gone into my wordprocessor "Appleworks, and text-edit", hoping I could then export/import the titles into iPhoto, but to no avail...
I enjoy creating slideshows with music, then burning them, then playing them on stereo sound television, and its a total blast for me when I view my creations.
So, Apple, or readers on this site, please help a poor old man towards the path of enlightenment, for life can truly be beautiful with "titles"...
Thanks to all...

Terence,
Don't know if you misunderstood my problem, but today, I found the solution to putting titles into iPhoto slideshows, and its pretty simple also.
I don't know how to enter a link here in order to include the directions on how to create titles in iPhoto..
But, briefly, create the title in any wordprocessor.
Take a screen shot.
Drag it into an iPhoto icon
Then, drag the icon into the iPhoto library.

We have no idea what enhancements - if any - are
planned for iPhoto. What you want to do cannnot be
done with iPhoto unless you use a third part editor
to create images with the comments, and import the
images into iPhoto and then incorporate them into
your slideshow. There are other apps that can caption
and use comments. Check out PhotoToMovie from

Playing video in iPhoto slideshow

hi,
I'm regularly recording video with my digital camera that is transfered to iPhoto along with all pictures. The problem is that these videos don't play when I present a slideshow of an event in my computer or in AppleTV.
I used Visual Hub to convert the .avi to .mp4 files optimized for iTunes but still these converted videos won't show up in an iPhoto slideshow. Is this a non-feature of the program or I'm doing something wrong? Can I sync videos from an iPhoto album and see them in my AppleTV?
Thank you!

You cannot play video as part of an iPhoto slideshow. PhotoPresenter is an app that allows this.

How do I arrange photos in iPhoto slideshow?

On my iPad - the album that I created in Photos appears in the iPhoto app as expected. Only now the sequence is out of order in the iPhoto slideshow. It does not match what is in the Photo album. How do I move the slides in the iPhoto app to the correct order? Thanks!

How do I post an iPhoto slideshow to YouTube?

How do I post an iPhoto slideshow (with music) to YouTube?

I was able to upload my iPhoto slides to YouTube. Two questions:
1. How do I get the slideshow transitions I saved in iPhoto to transfer to YouTube? The transitions didn't save and it makes for a choppy viewing experience.
2. How can I find and add DRM free music? Right now there is no music and I need something.
Here's my YouTube clip from Phnom Penh, Cambodia. I'd love to hear comments on how to improve the slideshow.
Many Thanks.

Iphoto slideshow no music possible ...

in iPhoto I can only use the tidbits of music that was delivered with iPhoto but not o n e of my own songs or playlists. They show up but don't play.
I have already played around with div. aple.com.playlists but without success. I hve deleted iPhoto and loaded it again from the store, the same situation as before.
Please give me an advice how to get iPhoto-slideshows w i t h music.
Thank You
Roland from Austria

Roland and topcop1,
I am experiencing the same problem... All the iPhoto Slideshow menu items appear to be working as they should, and I'm able to select iTunes songs, but they simply do not play in the slideshow... Have the same problem on two different computers...
The music does, however, play if I open the iPhoto Library in Aperture, and play the slideshow from Aperture.
I'll continue to investigate...will probably send feedback to Apple...

Animated iPhoto Slideshow: Cannot recreate my original slideshows

In early 2011, I created 7 different animated iPhoto Slideshows to use as part of my acting and modeling marketing program. The iPhoto Slideshow software was amazing in how it took still photography and, in a seemingly simple and easy way, transformed it into exciting, highly creative, professional looking video presentations with synchronized music. My slideshows were many times better than the original still photography.
Recently, I needed to update/replace one photo in some of these slideshows. To my dismay, I discovered that it was impossible to recreate four of these iPhoto Slideshows. Every time I attempted to do so, the resulting slideshows were nothing like my original slideshows. Actually, the overall quality of these 4 slideshows has been drastically downgraded to the point of being unusable--for one or more of the following reasons: the most interesting, unusual setup of 4 photos [up left: square; up rt: oblong; low left: oblong; low rt: square] in Sliding Panels has been eliminated; this results in a lot of repetition of the same setups within this slideshow; in another slideshow, the current software produces a totally different slideshow that is absolutely rigid throughout and will make no changes/modifications, regardless of the photo order or photo format; in one slideshow, the photo alignment is completely off; and the music is not always in sync with the action.
Over the past several months, I have discussed these problems with many different people at Apple Support. Everyone that I have spoken with assumed the problem was caused by a software update to iPhoto Slideshow sometime since early last year. On April 6th, after reviewing this problem with Apple Engineering, an Apple Support Advisor briefed me on what Engineering had to say. The response was basically this: When the iPhoto Slideshow was created, Apple purposely included an algorithm that continually changes the slideshows. Therefore, if I create a slideshow today, it may be impossible to ever recreate that same slideshow again because of this algorithm.
I must admit that I am more than a little suspicious about Apple’s response. It seems just too good to be true; especially due to the fact the stated cause is not easily provable or disprovable. And Apple Support certainly did not attempt to validate or offer any reasons to support why I should accept this as truthful. Actually, until now, everyone at Apple that I had spoken with assumed the problem was caused by an update to the iPhoto Slideshow software since early last year. Moreover, 3 of the original slideshows are currenty easily re-creatable. Finally, this stated cause is so consistent with my experience of how Apple handles all product and software problems: Nothing is wrong with our product or software. There must be something wrong with your system or how you are using it.
My bet is that Apple significantly changed the slideshow software when they introduced the new iPad in late 2011 to accomodate the unique format of iPad. Hence, the iPhoto Slideshow software would work on iMac, iPhone and iPad.
MY QUESTION IS SIMPLY THIS: HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AS I HAVE WITH THE ANIMATED iPHOTO SLIDESHOWS?

Is this the panel you're referring to in the Sliding Panels theme?
If so then it's still availabe in the iPhoto 11 version. Try a different arrangement of photos. If that doesn't work try this: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
     User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
     User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

IPhoto slideshows don't transfer over to Photos?

My iPhoto slideshows are listed under the Photos app, but none of the settings were transferred, or music selections? Any way to recover these?

Even if I try to do the speed change natively in Motion, it still yields the same result in terms of what part of the source footage it's looking at.
In this case, if I wanted to do use the optical flow option, I would do it in Shake because the source footage is an hour long, and Motion has to analyze the ENTIRE source file rather than just the part that's being referenced. (Annoying) Shake does only the part you are using.

IPhoto slideshow, remove some photos

I've created an elaborate iPhoto slideshow that looks fantastic (custom settings for nearly every slide).
QUESTION: I'd like to make a DIFFERENT slideshow by removing a few slides from my origonal 'fantastic' slideshow while keeping the origonal one intact. I know I can edit and alter my current slideshow in iPhoto but that will change the current slideshow--which I want to remain intact so I can use it as my base, starting slideshow. I'd rather copy the slideshow in iPhoto (with the photos along the top and able to adjust settings for each slide) maintaining the order and settings with the ability to remove several slides.
Does that make sense?
I've searched duplicate iPhoto slideshow and all i find is ways to add duplicate photos to the slideshow.
Any tips? Thanks for your input!
Chad

select the slideshow in the source pane on the left and duplicate it (command - D) so youy have two copoies of the show and can change each one independently

ATV iPhoto Slideshow with/Music

Hi-
I recently purchased an Apple TV to show my iPhoto slideshows on my flat-screen TV. I am a wedding photographer and use the slideshows as part of my presentation to potential clients. These slideshows have music playing in the background and in iPhoto the music is set to loop until all of the pictures have been displayed. Unfortunately on my Apple TV the song plays once and then stops, for some reason it is not looping in the ATV as it does on iPhoto. I called Apple support and was told that is how it works. I find it hard to believe the that the ATV would display the slideshow different than how I have it setup on iPhoto. Anyone else experience this?
Alex

That's odd, I'm able to loop a single song to my photo slide shows on my tv. You can do this by creating a playlist in itunes on your computer that contains the song you want to loop. Sync your playlist back to your tv. Go to Photos from the tv menu and select Slide Show Preferences > Music, select the playlist that you just created in itunes with your song of interest for looping. Back out of the music menu to Slide Show Preferences and set Repeat to "On" below the music menu.

IPhoto slideshow export -- Ken Burns "jerkiness" on playback

Have an iPhoto slideshow of 25 pictures. On some, I used Ken Burns effect to zoom in, out, etc.
When I export, the result is a .mov file. Everything looks great when I play it on Quicktime, except for some of the photos on which I had used Ken Burns (meaning there's motion). The bad ones don't render properly, and are "jerky" for lack of a more technical word. They get stuck for a couple of seconds, jump forward, get stuck again, etc.
Amazing thing is that I did an export out of Quicktime using Sorenson3, and that seems to have smoothed everything out in a nice way. Result is a movie with no jerkiness, and everything works right.
Two questions:
1) Can I count on the Sorenson3 export method to fix the jerkiness for three other iPhoto slideshow-based movies I'll need to generate, or was this a one-time fluke that Sorenson3 fixed this movie? In other words, is there a principle behind the fix that makes sense and can be counted on?
2) What caused the jerkiness in the first place? Is there something I can do so the original output from iPhoto on Ken Burns photos isn't jerky?
Thanks for any insights.

the audio associated with that set of photos was a piece of music off of an audio CD that had been transferred to iTunes for the purpose of making this section in the DVD. It's not a big problem that the music didn't transfer, since I can add it back into FCX. Thank you so much for your concern and help. This was a very key bit of info that you provided me. Thanks again. bill
