Want to crop tunes for iPhoto slide show

I created a play list of 3 songs for wedding slide show, would like to crop out pauses and use just short snip of one, any way to do this? I cropped as directed for iTunes, but when I chose that playlist in iPhoto, the entire songs played. Any suggestions? Entire songs won't fit the photos.
Thanks in advance!!

You'll need to edit those mp3 files with an audio editor - Audacity is a open-source one - or GarageBand.

Batch colour change for iPhoto slide shows?

My G4 Powerbook is correctly calibrated to produce beautiful, true prints from my Canon 5D. However, when I want to show these shots in a slide show the colour is over-saturated. It looks terrible. My projector is a Mitsubishi HC 1100. No controls on the projector will allow de-saturating. I have tried other types and brands with same result (BenQ and Panasonic).
I experimented by de-saturating a shot in PS by 20%. It now looks fine on the projector screen but washed out on the PBook.
Is there a way to de-saturate my slide show of 400 shots in iPhoto?
Hope someone can help.

WillB:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. With the projector connected launch ColorSync Utility (located in your Applications/Utilities folder) and see if it's recognized and there's any way to change the color profile it uses. You can do that for printers with their drivers so it may be so with the projector.
I believe GraphicConverter and do a batch desaturate but you'll have to export those files out of iPhoto to a folder before running GC.
Do you Twango?
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Converting m2ts videos for iPhoto slide show.

My brother used a new camera during a recent trip we took together. He has some great videos, but they are m2ts format and I use iPhoto to produce my slide shows. (I burn the slide show using iDVD). How do I convert his videos so that I can use them? My computer is not able to open them at this point.

One for the iMovie forum, I think.

Different songs for iPhoto slide show

Hello, I have about 650 pictures for a slideshow in iPhoto but I hate to have the same song repeat over and over again. I know I can export the QT into iMovie and add the different songs there but if there is a way in iphoto to do that ( using different songs) without having to use another application? Thanks

Pat
Yes there is. Create a playlist in iTunes and point iPhoto at the List and not a particular song.

In iPhoto slide show, is there a way to splice several short tunes together to play for the show?

Mike:
If you want to do a little more that string several songs together, i.e. like cutting out the lead in and out, overlapping, etc. you can try Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder. Always be sure to work with copies of your audio tracks.

Can you use multiple songs for a slide show in iphoto ios 2.0?

I want to prepare a 10 minute slide show that uses more than one song. It seems you can use a playlist using iphoto for mac (and I have seen that in other discussion threads) but what about iphoto for IOS on an ipad? It seems to let me only use one song. I am on IOS7 and using the lastest iphoto for ipad (v 2.0)Any suggestions out there? Thanks

You are welcome. Have a look at the GarageBand Help to get started.
Basically you need to
Create a new project - select an empty project template.
Open the Media Browser and drag the songs from your iTunes playlist into the track area.
Use the "Share" menu to send your new sound track to iTunes.
This screenshot is from GarageBand 10.0, but in GarageBand '11 it would be similar.
Just in case that you want to add some sound effects to the soundtrack, like rain or thunder, you will find the clips in the Loop Browser:

Whenever I log into icloud.com
Using what version of which browser?
iCloud.com requires Safari 6 or later, Firefox 22 or later, or Google Chrome 28 or later. Have you tried all of those?
If you have, have you tried clearing your browser cache and cookies?
For the first tine since 1989 I'm thinking about buying a PC.
You'd have exactly the same problems on an 8 year old PC too. It's a bit unreasonable to expect such an old Mac to continue to be compatible as software is constantly updated.
Saying that, I'm still able to access iCloud.com successfully in Safari v5.0.6 on a PowerPC Mac running Mac OS X 10.5.8, so the problem you're having is likely to be a browser issue, not something inherently wrong with the computer.
Since all this crap started, Mail won't download my Mac.com or me.com email.
The iCloud.com website is totally unconnected to Mail's ability to download email via IMAP. Have you checked the mail server settings are correctly setup and up-to-date?

Convert iphoto slide show to mov format?

hello, I just want to ask that, can I convert iphoto slide show into mov format??? I tried to select all pics, and export them as a mov, but the problem is, in the iphoto slide show, the pics can be moved and fit the screen size, but when I i export it, the pics just set in the middle , no any effect.

1. Select the photos you want to use, and click on the +. In the window that appears, select slideshow, and give your project a title.
2. Choose your transitions and music.
3. Go to File>Export; this will create a QuickTime movie- a .mov file.
4. For information on playback, read this section from QuickTime Player Help.
_Viewing Movies at Full Screen_
You can set the screen so that only the movie is visible, not the QuickTime Player window, desktop, or other windows. This presentation setting is called "full-screen mode." (You can also set a movie to play at half size, double size, or other sizes.)
To play a movie at full screen, do one of the following:
Choose View > Full Screen.
Choose View > Present Movie, choose Full Screen, and click Play.
To quit full-screen mode, press Esc. To adjust the way the picture is sized to fit your screen, such as stretched to fit or in letterbox format, move the pointer to the top of the screen to display the QuickTime Player menu options, and then choose a setting from the View menu. The following additional options are available in full-screen mode:
Fit to Screen: The content is scaled to fill your screen as fully as possible without cropping the movie or changing the aspect ratio.
Zoom: The content is scaled and cropped to completely fill your screen in at least one dimension. This can eliminate black areas on the top (letterboxing) or side (pillarboxing) but may hide or distort the content.
Panoramic: The content is scaled to fit your screen and the outer horizontal edges compressed to avoid cropping the image.
You can also cycle through all of the available full-screen options by clicking the button in the movie controls that appear when you move the pointer.
You can also set options for all movies playing at full screen. For example, you can hide the movie controls or change the amount of time they're displayed before being hidden. To set these options, see QuickTime Player preferences.
Note: As long as "Display full-screen controls" is selected in QuickTime Player Preferences, you can make hidden controls appear by moving the pointer.
I hope this helps.

Moving iPhoto slide show to iMovie

Using iPhoto, I created a slide show from a series of photos. I used the Ken Burns effect to add motion to the photos and got everything just right. I wanted to export or move the slide show to iMovie so I could add titles between certain of the photos in the slide show. I found an option to export to iDVD but not iMovie. Shouldn't I be able to move the slide show between iPhoto and iMovie? Eventually, I'll want to move my slide show from iMovie to iDVD, but I want to add the titles between the clips first. Does anyone have any advice regarding this matter?

Using iMovie HD 6, IMO it gives the user much better control over clips, stills and adding audio, you click on a still clip and then click on the Show photo settings button at the bottom of the Media pane. A translucent pane will come up where you can set the KB effect parameters.

Synching music to iPhoto slide show

I have created a playlist in iTunes for my iPhoto slide show. It needs some tweaking here and there to align the music with the correct slides. Is there a way to start in the middle of the show to work on this or must I always start at the beginning. I know I could probably do this in iMovie, but I am crunched right now and don't know if I have the time to invest in learning a new program.
Thanks.

Carole:
With iPHoto you get what it gives you. If you want to precisely align the music with slides export the movie without music. Then import the movie into iMovie and add the tracks. In iMovie you can overlap the tracks for transitioning from one to another, cut tracks to fit, etc. The save the movie or export to iDVD depending on what the final use is.
Do you Twango?

How can I change the font size and placement of photo descriptions in an iPhoto slide show?

With an iPhoto slide show, how do I change the font size for titles and descriptions and position the text when preparing a slide show?

to change the pixels crop to 100x100 and export with maximum dimension of 100 - see the user tip on exporting foo details on Export options - Exporting From iPhoto
As to DPI - digital photos have no DPI since DPI is Dots Per Inch and digital photos have no inches hence no DPI - when you print a photo then DPI is a mathematical calculation - dots divided by inches - it is not a setting
Print a 480 pixel photos as a 1" square and the print it 480 DPI (480 / 1 = 480) and print the 100 pixel image as a 1" square it will be 100 DPI (100 / 1 = 100) - print a 480 pixel photo as a 4.8 inch square and it is 100 dpi (480 / 4.8 = 100) - just a calculation - not a setting

When adding music to an iphoto slide show, is it possible to sample pieces of songs?

Does anyone simply sample bits of music for their slide shows? I have only been able to apply entire songs.

You can't. Iphoto plays the music track. It's it's 3 minutes long then it plays for 3 minutes.
So if you want to play segements you'll need to copy the track, duplicate it and edit it to the requied length
Or
Use an app that supports multiple audio tracks.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie, on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price: PhotoPresenter $29
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Pro X $299
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

Aperture and iPhoto Slide Show

I am new to Mac and considering Aperture. I shoot with a Nikon D70s and use mostly jpg and some RAW. After editing in Aperture, would I need to export the images to get them into iPhoto for a slide show; either RAW or jpg?
Not knowing exactly what I am doing, when I download RAW files into my PowerBookPro via iPhoto, they are converted to smaller jpg files. If I use Aperture, will they still be converted upon download?
These may be very basic questions, but I would appreciate the advice.
Thanks.

while the NEF (5.2 mb) was converted to 1.1 mb and a second 36 kb data file.
No it wasn't converted (and you saw it later in the /Originals) that's the preview I referred to above:
iPhoto makes a jpeg Preview of the RAW file,
Photo makes a Thumbnail of everything on import.
The question now, when I see the image in iPhoto and want to make edits in iPhoto and/or Aperture, will it be to the NEF 5.2 mb or jpeg 1.1 mb file?
First: iPhoto (because the two apps may seem similar but are in fact quite different)
It'll be the RAW file. Try it and see. When you edit a RAW there's a badge in the iPhoto Window.
(This is all detailed rather better than I can explain it in the iPhoto Help. Search on RAW) Note that only a camera can make or edit a RAW file, so all your edits in iPhoto are "published" to a jpeg (or tiff if you so elect in the iPhoto preferences.)
This is how iPhoto preserves your Original file.
Aperture is a rather different beast.
When you manipulate a file in Aperture the applications records your decisions in a database and then when you go to look at the file again... it applies your edits live as you open the file. This is how it preserves the original file.
If you want to access the file in another application - for instance add it to a Pages document or whatever, Aperture uses the Preview it creates for this purpose. The Preview is a jpeg of the edited file. However to get full quality versions of your file use one of the many export possibilities.

Problem partly solved: iPhoto slide shows on iPod

I have had my iPod 60 GB for a couple of days now and was first a bit shocked that iPhoto slide shows are not visible and displayable on the iPod, since I'd like to show my iPhotos thru the iPod on a TV set.
This is all the more non-understandable since slide shows are only small control files in the end that control order, duration, transitions etc. of slides that are physically there on the iPod already.
Since I want pictures to be displayed on an iPod slide show in a particular order (the one I arranged in iPhoto) I tried different things (after not having found a solution in various forums) and, voila, here is a solution:
Just put the images you want to include in the iPod slide show into an iPhoto album (not into a slide show; iPhoto albums are shown on the iPod, while iPhoto slide shows aren't). Then rearrange the order of the pics within the iPhoto album to your heart's content via drag and drop. This at least works in iPhoto 6, don't know whether this applies to earlier versions.
Finally, sync the iPod via iTunes, and you'll find your album with the correct order of pics on the iPod, playable of course as an iPod slide show.
So, I still don't see my older iPhoto slides shows, which is a pity, but at least for now and the future (until Apple provides an upgrade to iPhoto and/or iPod, HELLO, APPLE, someone awake??) it works for me.
I hope this helps some of you who were as desperate as I was...
Cheers Jochen
iBook 12", Mac mini PPC Mac OS X (10.4.5)

The timing is probably not ignored but it is likely that transitions are applied differently on the tv and may take a different length of time to occur. Still the effect is the same and unfortunately it's not too pretty. Which is why I chose to stick with simply syncing photos and not slideshows a long time ago.
