Use of captions in slideshows

New Muse User. I am building my first slideshow and using the Muse Slideshow Widget. I want to build 2 different types of slideshows, one with thumbnails and one without. The documentation and videos are helpful but could not find anything to help me display a caption for each picture. How do I do this?

Hello,
Please check the steps below for both the scenarios
Slideshow with thumbnail:
1. Select the thumbnail.
2. Now the caption that you can see in for the related image of the thumbnail.
3. Edit the caption as you wish.
4. Now if you click on another thumbnail you will observe that the Hero Image and caption test has changed.
5. Change the details as per your requirement/
6. Similarly you can change the cation for rest of the images in the slide show.
Slideshow with-out thumbnail:
1. Go to the slideshow options and check the thumbnail option. (By doing this thumbnails will become visible)
2. Follow the same steps given under "Slideshow with thumbnail" to updated captions
3. Once captions are upto date, go to Slideshow options and uncheck thumbnails.
Please let me know if you have any other query regarding the same.
For more details i would suggest you to check the posts below, this will give you more clarity about captions.

I am using my Description as the caption on Slideshow. I ticked the "Show Title Slide" button and iPhoto physically copied the description on the first slide onto the end of every other description. I can find no way of removing them other than by hand.

Any ideas why it might have happened or how it might br resolved? Regards, Marshfrog1

Attached is Dennis Linam’s Audition – “Log File” and “Log – Last File”
Contact information Dennis [email protected]
Previous contact information with your organization (DURIM):
Dennis - i just finished my audition trial and bought the subscription the 2014 version.
created by durin in Audition CS5.5, CS6 & CC - View the full discussion
DURIM - Okay. I would expect the "Cache Warning" message because your default directories would not be the same as the ones in the settings file I generated.
If you go back to the "7.0" directory and open the "Logs" folder, can you copy the "Audition Log.txt" file and send it as an attachment to [email protected]? We'll take a look in that logfile and see if it gives us more information about why this is failing now.
Also, do you have any other Adobe applications installed on this machine, such as Premiere Pro? If so, do they launch as expected or fail as well?
I do have the trial Pro version of Adobe reader, but I have not activated it, because I fear the same thing will happen did it. I cannot afford to activate the subscription for that product and take the chance of it not working either. I depend on those two programs religiously. Here is the files that you requested. I appreciate any help you can give me to get this audition program started

Can my mac pro Bluetooth talk to my new ATV using Bluetooth to send slideshows

Can my mac pro Bluetooth talk to my new ATV using Bluetooth to send slideshows, music and movies

You know you don't have to buy a replacement dvd drive from apple. For example, take a look at OWC's selection.
You don't say what year your mac pro is so I use a 2008 as an example. On that page click the little picture that shows a 2008 mac pro. That will take you to this page. And there's an example of a Lite-On drive.
In addition, on the right side of that page are links to instructional videos on how to add the drive to your machine. Click, for example, Optical, med (medium) and you will see how straight forward it is to change the optical drive.

In premiere pro creative cloud, can I export using closed captioning in HD and SD formatting?

Is it possible to export in HD and SD formatting using closed captioning? Reason for this question is, I'm about to create 48 half hour videos. 24 of them have to be in HD format and 24 of the others have to be in SD format using mp2 for airing on television. Will this work in closed captioning?

Aperture 3.1 uses Facebook captions as Version Names

Not sure whether this has happened due to the u/g to 3.1, but while still running 3.0.3 I exported a set of photos to Facebook.
By default, the Caption shown in FB is the filename (version name).
*In FB* I edited the captions but now Aperture is using those captions as the version names of the original photos (i.e. in the Projects, not just in the Facebook albums).
This is not good, since I now have several photos with the same version name!!!!
Is the the expected behaviour? I can't find a pref that affects it.
Anyone else seen this?

David Riecks has an article on the issues with Aperture and IPTC metadata over at:
http://digitalassetmanagementnews.org/taxonomy-metadata/aperture-3-removes-iptc- extension-and-plus-embedded-metadata/
and
http://www.controlledvocabulary.com/imagedatabases/aperture3.html
It appears that you are correct in your assertion that Apple (Aperture) does not adhere to the IPTC standard for image metadata. Ad Mr. Riecks points out, this should be of major concern for anyone using Aperture as their image warehouse and then exporting their images out to anyone who does adhere to the IPTC standard as some of your most important data (inclusive of location, identification, rights use, and copyright - aka IPTC Core in Aperture) are essentially lost.
Very disappointing indeed! Failure to adhere to industry standards are the primary reason I stopped using Windows products and made the migration to Apple.
Hopefully Aperture will address this in coming releases to include the extraction of Faces data into the IPTC 1.1 Extension Description structure "Person Shown" with an option to extract the Faces data into the IPTC1.1 Extension Models structure "Model Shown" fields.

What Apple software do I use to create a slideshow with voiceover?

What Apple Software do I use to create a slideshow with voice over?

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:

Using caption in Slideshow without showing empty or ""

I want to show text on selected individual slides in a slideshow . I know that I can use caption or title for this ( can I use either one or is there a preferred one ? ) .
However , not all the photos in the slideshow have captions, so for those without, it shows " < empty >" respectively 2 " ".
I want that there is nothing on the slide if there is no caption .
How can I do this ?
thank you

Thanks Rick
You are right, the EMPTY is not shown , but is still shows "" ( using the default caption and rating template ) .
So I cannot use it as intended , as I want to overlay the caption text over the photo.
Even when it has text , the markings at the beginnning and end have no reason to be there : " my text "
Is there a way to eliminate the "" marks ?
Is that an editable feature ?
Thanks

The Organizer – Using file names as captions in SlideShow

I am using Vista.
I just switched from using ZoomBrowser to The Organizer and I have a collections of thousands of photos. In ZoomBrowser I could show the file names (which I used to describe the slide) at the bottom of the slides during a slide show. I have not found such a feature in The Organizer. Is there one?
Otherwise, is there a method whereby I can do a batch import of the file names into the captions in the photos in The Organizer? I have the Flash Rename software which I can probably use to place the text of the file names in the Details of the Properties of the photo files.
Please help,
CarlosWA

There is no similar feature in imOvie that I know of.

Can Premier Pro make use of caption and keyword metadata from Lightroom

I’m using Premier CS6 to create a slideshow with images from Lightroom. When I export from Lightroom, I have quite a bit of Metadata encoded into the image and I’m wondering if there is a way to see that metadata in Premier?
I’m probably dreaming but I’d love to be able to create a lower third, title template that would get its information from the Caption field in Lightroom.
Any other tips for using Lightroom and Premier together would be appreciated.

Whatever metadata is viewable in PP will be available in the metadata pane. However, titles cannot automatically 'grab' their data from any source. It has to be typed or copied in manually.

Multiple captions in Slideshow

Hi, Is there a way to create more captions in the lightbox-slideshow widget? I'd love to have two per image, but when i try to add a textframe it would go "in" the slideshow, it just stand loose on the page. Also i can't copy the one caption and past that one inside the slideshow. The whole slideshow gets copied...
Can anyone help?
thanks in advance, bart

I understand you would not like to have too many images in one slide show and would like to categorize them instead.
The easiest way to achieve something like this would be by using multiple Lightbox slide shows for the purpose as indicated in the picture below where each slide show on the page can act as an Image Catalog for your gallery page. You can disable the "Show lighbox parts while editing" option so that you are able to re-arrange the triggers easily in alignment with the other slide show triggers. Now when you preview the page in browser, it should give you a similar feel as if they are different categories with distinct titles/headings.
Thanks,
Vinayak

Captions in slideshow

I am able to see captions for individual images. I do not see them in the slideshow. Must I selection this display option somewhere or are captions not viewable in the starter edition?

Which version of Starter Edition are you using? In Starter Edition 3.0, the captions are visible when you create a PDF slideshow but not in the Full Screen Slideshow.

Floating captions under slideshow pictures

I have a slideshow where the pictures are of varying heights. I would like the caption to always appear just below the picture. Currently this is a problem because the long pictures overlap the caption and the short pictures have a large gap between the bottom of the picture and caption. How can I make a floating caption that stays just below the picture no matter how tall or short the picture is?

Hi Scott,
I will recommend that you use a composition widget instead where you will be able to align captions for individual images below them.

Keeping captions in slideshow, and organizing collections by choice in PSA SE 3

1. I lose my captions when I put the pics in PDA slideshow format...can I keep them as shown in my Collections? I use WIN XP on Dell Inspiron 8200.
2. I do not want my Collections organized alphabetically or by date, but as I set them up. Is there a way I can insure the Collections stay lined up as I wish?

Thanks for your reply. (1) By "losing my captions" going into PDA format,I meant that they did not carry over when the slideshow was performing, so viewers would not know what they were seeing. The captions remained below my pictures in the Collection, however.
(2) I was referrring to the specific "Collections" feature of PS3. I had no ttrouble moving the pictures around in a given Collection, and they stayed put there, but my series of several Collections kept realigning themselves in an order different from the one I put them in. I wanted them shown in a specific order. Any suggestions?

Easy captions for slideshows

I am not using iPhoto 09 yet, but people are always asking me how do you create a slideshow DVD that looks great and is easy to do - catch is that everybody wants to add titles and captions. Has Apple added this feature to iPhoto 09? I know I can go into Photoshop, or another image editor and add a caption to the image, but for most people that's just not an option. iPhoto should be easy enough that grandmas can do it. My mother is the main one that's been asking me of late. I finally convinced her to buy an iMac, and I'm already stressing how I'm going to show her to add captions to photos so that they show up in a slideshow DVD. Any ideas out there? Thanks so much.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Create the slideshow in iDVD from imported stills and you'll have the option to add Titles/subtitles to any photo you would like.

The downside to this method is that you can't have the Ken Burns effect in the slideshow. The upside is that, IMO, the resulting image quality of the slideshow is better.
If you have access to a copy of iMovie 6 HD you an create the slideshow in it with titles and subtitles and much better control of any added music than the latest iMovie version.

Is there a way to edit music from itunes to use in an iphoto slideshow

I would like to use a section of a song for a slideshow I am making, but only want to use part of the song. Is there a way to edit the song? If so, how do I do this?

Christine:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Not with iTunes or iPhoto. You can edit a track in iTunes to play only a selected portion but that editing does not carry over to use in iPhoto.
You can use a 3rd party audio editor like Amadeus Pro to select the portion of the track you want to use and create a new file with it. Import the new file into iTunes and use in iPhoto. Some users have suggested using Garageband if you've installed it. It takes up too much disk space for me and I prefer using Amadeus Pro.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
