Web Gallery Slide Shows: Music and Captions an option?

The title sums up the question. Can web gallery slide shows (on my .Mac account) be made to look and sound like the slide shows i'm running in iphoto - with captions and audio?

Mark:
You can get the captions to be displayed in the web gallery by running this script to move the description to the title field before you publish the gallery. After the gallery is published you can change the title back to the file name with the Photos->Batch Change menu option.
Have you considered using iWeb to create a photo page/slideshow and add the music to it. Here's a test page of such a setup. Be sure to read all of the comments on the linked page as there's a minor error noted in the script that is easy to correct.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger 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.

Sure,
Hit File > Automate > Web Photo Gallery. After that just follow the basic wizard and let it run. It will create all the .xml files and thumbnails for you.

Fix for AppleTV photo slide show music stopping after abut 20 minutes?

Fix for AppleTV photo slide show music stopping after abut 20 minutes?

Just ran another series of tests ... I am now convinced that AppleTV's slideshow/screensaver is broken.
Too often it will 'get stuck' on one photo for minutes then show no photo and finally move on; in fact it is doing it right now.
I don't ever remember seeing this occur before the last upgrade.

Editing slide show music

This seeems a simple question but I ahve searched HELP and cannot find an answer. I am working on a slide show DVD and have added music to the project. Now I have changed my mind and want to delete the original selection and add new music but cannot see how to do this.
Thank you

SDMacuser,
I saw your post in regards to iDVD help, so I thought I would pick your brain for a few mins. I appologize in advance for the length of this email I am new to making DVD's on my MacBook Pro. I made the first one yesterday.
One issue I have is when playing them on dvd players (located here in europe, and also Media Player on pcs) other than my mac dvd player. Correct me if I am wrong, but the images, when dropped into a slideshow become "chapters". The chapters (pics) on my mac go up to 99, then continue, but are "rewritten" again in the same slideshow as 1, 2, 3, etc. On pcs and the dvd players here, new titles are created with more pics in them. Have I missed something super simple? I did change the format in the info screen to PAL, and not NTSC, in order for the dvd to be played on the players here in europe. I will be making more dvds to send home to the States, and will make them as NTSC.
Second, I enjoy the theme music for the "Travel Cards" dvd theme in iDVD'06. Is there any way to use the music file clip for he other slideshows? I have searched for it using Spotlight, but to no avail. I saw your response in how to incorporate music files to the slideshow, now I just need to find that particular file
I appreciate any help that you might be able to assist in this matter.

Web Gallery only shows 10 pictures cs4

When I try to create a web gallery in Bridge CS4 and/or Photoshop CS4 only ten images are included even though I have selected many more than 10. I have tried different column and row configurations, I have reinstalled, but it still only includes the first 10 images and then there are blanks. I found a 2008 reference in Adobe support to this dead link which is supposed to have a solution: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b70a2d/0
But it is dead.

The preview only uses 10 images to let you see how it will look.
This is to avoid slowing things down unnecessarily
To see the whole gallery, save it to a convenient place to view it in a browser.

Flash Web Gallery Slide Speed Control?

Using LR 1.1 I put together (in the web module) and ftp'd to my web server a number of images of a dog show, as a slide show. I used the basic flash gallery template that comes with LR to do this.
It works just fine for me but some of the viewers have asked for the ability to speed up or slow down the slides. Does LR have the ability to allow viewers to do that?
Or on a more basic level, can I adjust the timing of the changes before I upload the gallery?
I believe there is a speed control when creating a .pdf slide show but I can't find one in the web module.
You can see the show (if you really like dog shows, or just want to see what I am talking about) at http://bobbaron.com/OKCClassic2007BW/index.html
Thanks,

One more Question: In the downloadable templates there is Web Gallery 3: In the Samplefile the thumbnails are all rotated a litte, how is that done?

Photo gallery slide show - automatic start

I have created a web photo gallery in Adobe Bridge and successfully
opened it in my Dreamweaver site, but I want to the slide show to start automatically because it is on my
first page and I don't want people to have to click on the play button. Can someone tell me if this can be done and if so, how?
Thanks

Hi,
I will gladly help you with your problem but please give me a
link to your gallery wither as a private message or by email
([email protected]). The files here pasted are incorrect, look to
the SetSlideShowTimer() or the StartSlideShow() functions above
that are incomplete. Not mentioning that the CSS are really make
the difference.
It will take me more time to try to reconstruct your
structure, not having all the files you reference and probably not
being able to duplicate your problem because the deployment
failure.

Gallery Slide Show

Just downloaded the new software update. Is there any way to STOP the gallery photo slide show set to music ? Besides a hammer.

The only options are 1) the type of music and 2) the volume.

Dotmac published web gallery not showing up.

So I have now created 2 web galleries through Aperture 2. One shows up the other does not..
The URL it should be at is http://gallery.mac.com/cbchev68/100191 and it should be called Sushi Hunter.. The other one that is showing up is called Northwind Charters.
Im guessing there is some software bug here. If I go into Aperture -> Web Gallery -> Sushi Hunter. Then in the main window choose Web Gallery -> Visit Web Gallery, it opens Safari with the above URL and I get an error that the gallery does not exist.. What is even more interesting is that if I go into Aperture preferences, web gallery, it only shows the one gallery that actually shows up on the doc mac servers. I have to assume it is querying the dot mac servers for this data, as there is a 5 second lag or so before this list is populated.
Its as though Aperture created the web gallery, but then never actually uploaded the images..
Anyone else seen this?

Well its definitely a software bug, I just created another new album with a slightly different name and it looks like the photos are now uploading and properly showing up.

Web Gallery not showing up in iPhoto

I've set up multiple albums through the web gallery feature and successfully synced them to my .mac account. The problem: one particular gallery shows up on the .mac account but not in iPhoto anymore so there is no way to manage it/add to it/delet it??
thanks

Jim:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. By not showing up do you mean the gallery is no longer listed in under the Gallery section on the left of the pictures in the gallery are showing a blank window with an "!" in the middle?
Do you Twango?

Slide show loop and quality

Hi, help! I have to put together a couple of slide show presentations for a kiosk type setting, I will have a 2 DVD players available. I will have one presentation with music and about 95 slides and the other presentation of over 100 slides with music. I don't want to leave my Mac unattended while we are in meeting but need the slide show to loop continuously while in the meetings. I know how to make a slide show in IDVD and IPHOTO, but not sure if I can make them loop or is there any other software that would be better or any advice. I need the best quality photos also. My last slideshow presentation using IDVD looked a little less then professional in photo quality. Thanks in advance and do covet the wealth of knowledge out there.

You can set a a slideshow in an iDVD project to automatically play and loop. Go to the Map mode and drag the the slideshow into the far left (blue) bin.
Click to view full size
To loop selet the slideshow in the Map mode and use the Advanced menu.
Click to view full size
You will only be able to have one slideshow per disk play and loop so you will need to iDVD projects resulting in two burned discs.
The slideshow with 95 slides will not present a problem but with the 100+ slideshow you can run into a pause at slide #100. That's because the DVD standard is only 99 chapters per slideshow and each slide, when created from still photos, is a chapter. iDVD gets around this limitation by renumbering the slides back to #1 when it reaches 99. At that point some DVD players will pause briefly or stop. A lot depends on the DVD player being used. Of course if you create the slideshow in iPhoto and export it to iDVD as a Quicktime movie file using the Share->Send to iDVD menu option the pause will not be a problem.
If you plan on using your laptop or Mac to play the slideshow you won't even have to burn the iDVD project to disk. Just use the File->Save as Disk Image, mount the disk image and play it full screen with DVD Player. If you need to create a disc of the project then burn to disc with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
