Why is slide show blank?

I went to the Organizer and picked three images with which to create a slide show. Then I clicked to preview, and nothing showed up.  Why not?  I also saved it as a movie file to see if it would do the trick.  Nope.  Thanks.

Hi Ankush,
Thanks for the reply. I found another solution that seemed to work from another forum. That is to run PSE as Admin. So I went and right clicked on PSE on the desktop and selected "Run as Administrator". When I did this and I created a slideshow, the pictures were showing.
Thanks,
Mark

  • Why is slide showing up blank in preview and publish, but not filmstrip view?

    Hello,
    I was having the problem I described in another post where data that was masked flips back to the unmasked value- however, this time I couldn't figure out any solution.
    So, I tried copying the background image, putting it in an image editor, then pasting it back into Captivate and adding my highlight boxes (Captivate 3). It worked in Preview mode for a good hour, then I published and that particular slide showed up with white (no bkgrd. image) but you could still see the highlight box and mouse movement.
    I shut down captivate then restart in preview mode and the same thing happened- worked until I published then that particular slide had problems again.
    Any ideas? I'd appreciate them much. I feel like I've had every problem in the world with Captivate in the last month!

    Absolutely confused... I did not suspect that my suggestion would lead to such inexpected behaviour.
    I'll have to think more about it, which is difficult since I can't reproduce your problem.
    Your idea to move the files from within Elements tells us something.
    Maybe examining the log file could give some hints about the failures of Elements in the process.

  • Bridge Slide Show Blank White screen (NEW)

    I get a blank white screen when I hit Apple L.(same when I go to VIEW click slide show) I have reinstalled CS3 3 times. Upgraded driver for Video card. Very thing else works OK. this is driving me crazy. I am using a G 5 Pro,operating system 10.5, 5 gig ram, Radon 9600 video card. Checked all setting nothing helps.Not getting ans. to this question I went in an deleted preferences. Now nothing works. Photoshop seem to work normally.

    I get a blank gray screen when trying to view a slide show in bridge. Have G5 10.5.1 with dual 1.8 GHz and 2 BG ram. Everything but slide show works in bridge. I have re-installed Leopard and CS3.
    Adobe advised trying bridge/slide show in safe boot. Works in safe boot. Adobe says to check activity monitor in safe boot and regular boot to see what's on causing problem in regular boot. Activity monitor the same in both boots.
    I think problem is Adobe but I think they are finished helping.

  • Why does slide show stop working?

    When I was creating tablet version layout from desktop layout, the slide show stopped working. Do you know why?

    Seems odd, it should work. I would do a test. Add a new slideshow widget onto the tablet layout, leaving the images that Muse has and test to see if that works. If it does then there is an issue with the file you are coping in.

  • Panic Attack: iPhoto 7.1.5 slide show Blank

    I recently copied over my entire iPhoto Library from my G5 Quad to my MBP. After opening iPhoto, I selected one of the groups to play a slide show. Everything worked fine. (I used the option to create the slide show using the right arrow button on the lower bottom left of the application.)
    I then decided to add music. I then copied my iTunes library over from my Quad to MBP. I then opened iTiunes to make sure everything work and it did.
    I then selected the music playlist I wanted to play in the background of my Slide show and started the slide show--problem is now the slide show is blank almost all the time. Maybe every 20 seconds or so a slide comes up. The music plays fine.
    I hve tried the following to resolve the problem:
    1. Rebooted
    2. Repaired disk permissions
    3. Unselected music
    4. Tried selecting a different picture group
    5. Change Transition
    6. Unselected "scale photos to fill screen'
    Yet I get the same blank slide show. I have to give this slide show tomorrow, so now I am now experiencing a panic attack. Any ideas where to start?

    I copy the entire 'Pictures' folder over from another Mac and then put it into the MBP Pictures folder. That is what did not work.
    Hw did you point iPhoto at this library.
    On the second version, I copied just the iPhoto File (35 GBs) and then drag it into iPhoto on the MBP. After it loaded the pictures (6000 of the), I noticed that the albums on the lower left of iPhoto did not come over in the copy and import.
    This is not how you restore a Library. What you’ve done there when you
    drag it into iPhoto
    is have all the pics and versions treated as individual items. There is no way to import a database into another one like this.
    The trick is to copy the Library to the Pictures Folder and then launch iPhoto. That’s it. There’s no importing involved. If you have more than one library then Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'

  • Why are slide show images less sharp than preview images?

    Dear Aperture users,
    as documented in the manual and on Apple's support pages, Aperture 3 uses the preview images for its slide show. However, when I compare the quality of my preview images in full-screen mode with the quality of the slide show images, the preview images clearly look sharper.
    Apparently, Aperture's slide show does not simply use the preview images as documented, but applies some sort of "adjustment", resulting in less crisp looking images. Since I haven't found any satisfying answer yet, my questions are:
    1). What exactly is the adjustment that slide show applies to the preview images?
    2). Can I somehow tweak this adjustment, say, with a terminal command?
    Best regards,
    Dirk61.

    iPhoto can make two different types of slide show movies. It would help to know which you're making.
    One is made via the File/Export to QuickTime movie and makes a 4 track file with a simple fade effect. These use the Photo-JPEG codec.
    The other is a 30 fps "video" using H.264 video codec via the "Share" menu.
    A third method (rarely used) is to Export to iDVD. This makes an absurdly high data rate MPEG-4 video. This is also found under the Share menu.
    The MPEG-4 video codec also includes an "automatic" gamma correction feature which compensates for the gammas difference between Mac's and PC's.
    Try one export to iDVD. Include your audio track prior but use a high quality (.aiff) sound file. No need to actually "burn" the DVD. You can even close iDVD after it opens. You'll find the new movie in your Users Movie folder.
    Open it with QT Pro and export to a new .mov file. Adjust the data rate to something more reasonable and add some audio compression.
    If the colors still look too dark you can use the built in Filters in the Export dialog. You can adjust B&C or HSL or even use ColorSync Profiles that can help correct the image quality (if needed).

  • Why exporting slide show to QuickTime raises contrast and darkens images?

    I've been creating slide shows in iPhoto, then exporting them to QuickTime to create QT.mov files which contain dissolve transitions and later add soundtracks using QTPro. Lately, when I've exported the images to QuickTime, the resulting images in the QT.mov file are invariably darker and more contrasty than the originals in iPhoto; in many cases unacceptably dark.
    It appears that QuickTime modifies the images when it exports them.
    I've experimented in PhotoShop, and discovered that to make the original Jpeg image match the modified QT version I have to increase the "Contrast" slider +11, and decrease the "Brightness" slider about -8 to -12 (in whatever units PhotoShop sliders are calibrated in). This is an enormous amount of change to the images! Since darkening the image increases the color saturation, every image has some color shift. Black skin tones shift to a heavy red/brown, and shadow details block up unacceptably.
    It seems that QuickTime is "auto correcting" the images; automatically applying the sort of tweaking that makes a lot of snapshots look "snappier".
    Of course, I've already spent hours correcting my images in PhotoShop, and they're just perfect (IMHO) when I feed them into iPhoto.
    iPhoto itself doesn't change anything.. the images are unmodified during the importing, editing and preview of the slideshow; it's only when it's exported to QuickTime that the images are ruined.
    I'm hoping that there's some knowledgable soul out there in CyberSpace who knows a way to turn this hidden "auto-correcting" feature off.

  • Why does slide show play photos with jagged or distorted images?

    This is weird. When I start a slide show, the photos immediately become distorted as they go from one transition to another. It's almost like the entire photo frame becomes "shattered" in several large pieces. Sometimes, when hitting the pause button, part of the photo is fine while the other part has lines all the way through it, obscurring that part of the photo. When playing music, there is no alteration in quality of the music; everything is normal.

    Hi j4net,
    Have you tried a different transition? It could be your 450 computer is not up to speed. (just a guess)

  • Why does iphoto show blank image placeholders

    I sit my new iPhone4S on the dock i used for iPhone4, and iphoto only shows blank image placeholders, not photos i've taken on the phone. What do i need to do to fix this? It correctly syncs iPhoto pics from my iMac to the phone, but not from the iPhone . Any Help?
    Thanks, John

    Found the answer in this forum. I powered down the iMac and Powered down the iPHone, and then restarted both. and all is well. Hey, that's the advice i give to all my Windows friends - and it worked this time.

  • Blank slides show up in slideshow

    I have created several slides. When I play the slide show, blank slides show up between the slides that I created. What gives?

    Wow, thank you.
    These are not rouge, they are consistent between each slide in the presentation. All my slides are on the standard grey-to-black (black to grey?) gradation. Let's see if I can explain better:
    Slide 1 says "my name"
    Slide 2 says "I have candy"
    Slide 3 says "What do you need?"
    In presentation mode, slide 1 loads automatically and holds. No problem. My next click will bring a gradation slide with no text. The next click will bring "I have candy", next click, a gradation slide without text.
    If I esc at this point, Slide 3 is highlighted.
    Does that help?
    Thanks again.

  • PSE 9 Organizer Slide show can't find the slide show project files after moving from XP to Windows 7

    A bad computer virus forced us to move all our files and programs from XP to Windows 7.  The PSE Editor seems to be working properly, but the Organizer Slide Show can't find the project files.  The structure of each of the 15 slide shows (blank slides) is there and any text I had added, but the pictures and music are missing.  Our computer Tech is not too familiar with PSE and may not have the files in the right spot.  Evidently XP and Windows 7 are organized a little differently and use different names.  He still has all the PSE files from our old hard drive in a folder and probably just needs to know where to put them.         

    +Windows Vista has different file locations than Windows XP+
    This is the problem - the iTunes ITL file from XP is using XP paths, which don't exist in Vista. Here are some directions that have worked for others:
    - Copy your entire iTunes folder --- not just the iTunes Music folder but basically everything under "My Documents" - to external storage
    - Copy those files to your "Music" folder on your Vista system. The end result should be that you have "Documents\Music\iTunes" on Vista, where you had "My Documents\My Music\iTunes" on XP
    - Put a fresh install of iTunes on the Vista system.
    - When you run iTunes for the first time, hold down the Shift key. If it asks you to select a library file, pick the one you just transferred over.
    - The end result should be your library, including all ratings, play counts and play lists, sitting on the new system.

  • Slow Slide Show

    Hello, I created a slide show in After Effects and converted
    it to an .swf file. The .swf is 300 by 300 and the file size is
    about 18. The slide show starts off fine but then slows down to a
    crawl. The site is
    http://www.tattoosbycari-anncreations.com/.
    Any info on why this slide show slows down and what I can do to
    speed it up would be appreciated,
    Thank You, Diane

    wendy, I did not have any problems with the slide show
    slowing down. It played what seemed like a normal speed, and held
    that speed through the first loop before I navigated away from the
    page.
    Your problems are most likely stemming from the file size vs.
    bandwidth. 18MB is a fairly large file, and the lower end of even
    high bandwidth connections will still take time to load the file.
    So, if the swf gets to a point that hasn't finished loading yet,
    the swf player pauses, and it feels like everything has slowed down
    to a crawl.
    There are 3 ways to fix this.
    1. Shrink the file size. You can do this by compressing the
    file more, removing some of the images, shrinking the physical
    dimensions of the file, etc...
    2. Export the file as a FLV from AE, and then play it using a
    SWF Video Player. This way, the file will buffer as it plays, and
    it won't feel as much like it slows down.
    3. Add a preloader to the beginning of the SWF. This way, you
    can guarantee that the file is loaded or mostly loaded before it
    starts playing.

  • Why can I not check the 'shuffle images' box in a slide show settings in iPhoto 9.6?

    Why can I not check the 'Shuffle images' box in settings of a slide show in iPhoto 9.6? All other settings I can check but this one.

    Hey Brad,
    If you are unable to select the shuffle images checkbox, follow the steps in this article -
    iPhoto '11: Change slideshow settings
    Specifically -
    To display slides in random order, select “Shuffle slide order.” If you don’t see this option, play the slideshow, move the pointer to make the slideshow controls appear, and then click the Settings button.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Be well,

  • In PE11 the quality of the photos in the slide show are inferior to those in the catalogue.  Why?

    I have been on the phone for a few hours to Adobe but they are stil investigating.  When I produce a slide show using Elements 11 the pictures are no way near as clear as they appear in the folders.  I just want to show my pictures without them looking like crap.  They were taken using the highest quality photo on the camera, which is a new Nikon and look great when viewing through Elements Organiser.  They also look amazing in the original source, eg My Pictures files.  When making slide show it asks the quality and I select high.
    Does anyone else have a problem Or better still a solution????
    Driving me nuts so any help appreciated.

    DVD Standards are 720 x 480 NTSC, 720 x 576 PAL. So it doesn't matter how good the resolution is in your original images when you burn to DVD those resolutions will be reduced to one of the above.
    So I suggest you follow the instructions earlier for File> Process Multiple Files and reduce the size in PSE to 720 x 576 (as you wanted a PAL DVD) and then create your slide show for further editing in PRE.
    The reason for this suggestion is that it is generally considered in the PRE Community forum that PRE has a cruder image resizing algorithm than PSE.
    If you think you may want to do Pan & Zoom on some of your images resize them to say 1000 pixels wide (with constrain proportions set).

    Why isn't my DVD as clear and detailed as my original footage?

  • Why doesn't a saved slide show in PSE-6.0 show in Organizer?

    Two questions:
    1-I've created a few slide shows in Photoshop Elements 6.0 (running Windows Vista-64) and until recently have been able to find and reopen/edit them in Organizer.  For some reason none are showing at top of Organizer, even though I can find the file in folder Adobe:/PhotoshopElements/Catalogs/CIB Catalog/Projects.  I've even reinstalled PSE6.0 and still won't show newly created slide show projects.  Any ideas of what I need to do to be able to create, save and then go back to work on a slide show?  My goal is to create a slide show to copy to a DVD for viewing on a TV and don't want to try and do this all in one session.
    2-Why are the photos not linked to the correct folder when I try to open and edit it, even after I've just reinstalled PSE-6.0?  I don't want to go thru the Browse option to relink up the thumbnail to the original photo. 
    Thanks very much in advance and I looked up previous discussions about "slide shows" but didn't see this discussed, so sorry if this question has already been covered.

    For the slidehshow thumbnail --
    I have always been able to find my slideshow thumbnail in the Thumbnail view as long as I had the Media Types to display set to include projects/creations. I would not expect to find the slideshow thumbnail using Folder Location and definitely not using Import Batch (because a slide show is not part of an import batch) . You did not post your current setting for Media Types, so I suggest that you investigate its setting.
    However, your problem with the photos showing on the Z drive is probably more serious
    One odd thing I've just noticed is that all files in PSE-6 show the
    files being on the "Z" drive, but they are on the "C" drive in Windows
    Explorer.  I am using a cloud based storage service (Trend Micro's
    SaveSync) and it designates the "Z" drive as the cloud drive, so this is
    odd.
    My second question is related to all my photos, not
    just ones I've tried to organize into a Slide Show Project.  I've tried
    different photos in many different folders and all of them show the same
    message of "Searching for Missing File".  Since I just reloaded PSE-6
    I'm very surprised by this error.
    If by "reloaded" you mean reinstalled, then the relevant fact is that the reinstall does not modify the Elements Catalog (which is where those pointers to the photo file location on the Z drive reside). So a reinstall of the PSE software would not have an effect here.
    Unfortunately, I can not predict or even guess how the Trend Micro SaveSync works and what it would do that would make the PSE Organizer think it should look on the Z drive to find your photo files.  The Search for Missing File is most probably caused by that Z drive reference.
    All I can suggest is
    -- look in the Organizer Preferences for a preference about reconnecting files automatically and set that preference to NOT reconnect automatically so that you have better control of when and how the info about photo file locatin that is stored in the elements catalog is modified  .
    -- then use the thumbnail view within the Organizer and right click on the thumbnail for one photo and then choose the Reconnect of a single photo
    -- can you reconnect that single photo successfully and have it show the C drive as its location ?
    -- if yes try a few more photos
    -- if you can reconnect several photos, then I suggest that you read the following for a suggestion on how to reconnect many photo files
