Why no music when I export slideshow?

I created a slideshow in iPhoto accompanied by music which was downloaded from a friend's disk of noncommercial recordings. The music is in MP3 format.  When I export to Quicktime Movie, no music!  Why not?  Any solutions available? 

Yes, I have several projects I have done, but I do remember in the last one I did about 6 months ago I thought I had to run through the process of sending it to iDVD twice for it to work.  Don't know why.
Yes, the volume is up on the movies it made and still no sound throughout the whole movie.
As far as creating short test movies, how do you just select part of the project to make a video as I have never done that?
Is there some option or something that I have to select that makes it include the audio when exporting or might there be something I did in error that causes it to mute or ignore the audio when exporting?

  • IDVD crash when iPhoto exports slideshow

    My G5 1.8 Ghz crashes when iPhoto exports slideshow. Help!

    Drag both these to the trash and restart your mac:
    com.apple.iDvd.plist
    com.apple.iPhoto.plist
    Then Repair Permissions from apple's disc utilities.
    Run apple's software updater but do not install just yet. Just post back and let us know if apple system pref / software updater sees any required updates. (Pay close attention to QT as well).
    Hope this helps but if not come on back.

  • Why poor quality when I export in HD?

    I've shot some video on a Panaonic HDC-HS9, imported in original quality, edited it up, and want to export it in HD quality, for later use on DVD and YouTube HD.
    When I export it using the standard setting HD 1080x720 (in the export movie... option), the quality is pretty poor, nowhere near HD standard, although the original footage is crystal clear.
    Am I importing wrongly? Exporting wrongly?
    The exported files are about 100MB per minute, so should look very sharp on my MacBook screen, rather than fuzzy.

    I'm kind of a novice at this stuff, but if you select "Export using QuickTime..." instead of "Export Movie...", you have a lot more options to choose from. In particular, you can choose a 1920 x1080 resolution, which should improve the quality of your movie (but it will take about 4x longer to export and the file will be about 3x bigger). There are a lot of other choices as well... wish I knew what they all meant!

  • No Music when Airplaying a Slideshow from iOS Photos

    The Photos App in iOS 8 has a slideshow feature which (in theory) allows you to play a slideshow of all photos in an album with a variety of transitions and with music selected from your iTunes library.
    The slideshow is initiated from a slideshow button in the App. Dialogue shown below.
    When playing the slide show on the iPad, it works as advertised...photos cycle and music plays.
    As shown, however, you should be able to Airplay the slideshow to an Apple TV.
    The issue I've hit is that, although the show Airplays across and cycles through with no issue, the music just refuses to play, so the photos cycle through in silence.
    Audio air playing is working as I can play a song using the music App and it streams over the slideshow playing on the Apple TV.
    Gear is:
    iPad Mini Retina (1st Gen) + iPad 2 both running 8.1.2
    Apple TV (2nd Gen) on latest released version
    Any thoughts on possible reasons/fixes or is this just an AirPlay bug?

  • Exporting slideshows results in file with only the first picture then a blank white screen with music. Apple bug or am I missing the obvious?

    When I export slideshows the result is a file with only the first picture then a blank white screen with music. Apple bug or am I missing the obvious?

    Usually when the phone shows just the white Apple logo, it indicates an issue with the system software that prevents the phone from finishing it's boot sequence. When this happens, you will need to restore the phone, which removes all data and replaces the system software with a fresh set.
    Since the phone is not seen in iTunes when it's in this state, you will have to put it into DFU mode for iTunes to see it.
    To put the phone in DFU mode:
    - make sure the phone is connected to a computer with the current version of iTunes on it.
    - hold the sleep/wake button and the home button simultaneously for 8 seconds.
    - let go of the sleep/wake button and continue pressing the home button. The iTunes screen will show a short progress bar then show a dialog box stating that an iPod was detected that is in recovery mode.
    -click OK
    -click the Restore button in the middle of the iTunes page
    After the restore the phone should be back up and running and you can sync your data back.

  • Slideshow won't export with music when preview is fine?

    I have a slideshow that I chose a song from my iTunes library and when I preview it everything is fine. When I export the slideshow I get no sound. I've created a separate slideshow with the same pics and same song but still get the same result. This is maddening. Anyone else have this happen?

    What's the source of this song? Bought online? Is it DRM protected?

  • Exporting slideshow results in unwanted music fade

    Hi all, I sure hope someone can help. When I create a slideshow in iPhoto '09 and set music to it, it plays back great. But when I export the slideshow, using any method (specifically to .m4v or .mov), the music fades by the end of the slideshow. It's disconcerting, because that's not how it plays back in iPhoto. It's also troublesome because it's not what I want! It's not even a normal fade over the last few seconds - it starts early and goes very slowly, lasting the final 30-60 seconds. Bizarre. Anyway, I need to get rid of it. I've searched every option to no avail, in both iPhoto and iTunes (where I'm pulling my music from). Please help - I have a project due on Thursday that I've got to fix this for!
    I am aware I can export the slideshow with no sound, import to iMovie and add my music there. I'm prepared for that contingency, but I'd rather not if I don't have to. Does anyone have an answer for me? Is there an option I'm missing somewhere, or any other way of getting rid of this unwanted fade? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Stewy and others, after much experimenting, I figured out the problem: when you have your slideshow set to "Fit Slideshow to Music", it fades the music slowly and early. If you have your slideshow set to play a certain amount of seconds per slide, the music plays fine. Note that the music plays fine both ways in iPhoto itself, which is why it was so tricky to track this down, but when you export your slideshow, "Fit Slideshow to Music" = bad. I don't consider adding a black slide to the end to be a satisfactory solution; it still throws all the timing off. The only real solution (that I could find) is to consider the "Fit Slideshow" feature to be broken (which it is - I hope Apple is reading this), and not use it. Instead, just manually fit the slideshow yourself. It's a pain and it takes a few minutes, but the resulting export is worth it.
    Apple - this is definitely a bug. It's also worth noting that it only happened AFTER I updated a freshly installed iPhoto '09 to the latest update, so it was a bug introduced in an update. Straight out of the box, this doesn't happen (though there are other worse bugs that are fixed by the update, so it's still worth updating and handling this particular bug manually). I sure hope this bug is fixed soon, though, because the "Fit Slideshow" feature is very useful, and having to do it manually *****.
    Hope this helps others out there - I searched Google quite a bit before giving up and posting here.

  • Why does iPhoto 9.5.1 not export slideshows?

    Why does iPhoto 9.5.1 stall when I try to export a slideshow, using OS 10.9.3? All steps have been completed, and the preview works fine, but the system hangs up at the "Exporting Slideshow" progress window. The bar never fills. Nada!

    Does this only happen for one particular slideshow? Test by creating another, short slideshow using different photos. Can you export this test slideshow? If yes, then probably one of your photos cannot be processed. Duplicate your slideshow and try to find the problematic photo by removing photos from the slideshow and trying again.
    If you cannot export any slide at all, create a new iPhoto library for testing. Use iPhoto's "File" menu to create a new library: File > Switch to library > Other/New. Import a few photos and try to export a Slideshow.  If exporting from a new library works, try to repair or rebuild your regular iPhoto library.
    You rebuild the library by launching either  iPhoto while holding down the key combination⌥⌘  (option-command)  and double-clicking  the iPhoto icon. Keep holding down the keys, until you are seeing the Library First Aid panel.  Select to "Repair"  the database.
    If that does not suffice, try "Rebuild".
    Back up your library before rebuilding.

  • Very poor quality when exporting slideshow

    I am using a Canon 5D, and when I view the images in Full screen. They are gorgeous. I created a slideshow. When I play the slideshow in Aperture - again they are gorgeous and crisp, however when I export these images to a Quicktime movie they look blurry - almost like they were taken with a regular point and shoot.
    I have selected Export > HD 720p
    I understand that slideshows are generated from previews, so I went to Aperture > Preferences > Previews and selected Photo Preview > Don't limit & for Photo Preview Quality I selected 12 (high).
    I kept the 2 selections that were there on default selected (these are: new projects automatically generate previews, and use embedded JPEG from camera whenever possible)
    Then I selected all of the images in the slideshow, and when I right clicked and selected "Update Previews" I received the message saying that the previews were already up to date. I exported the slideshow - and the quality was still poor.
    I then tried to update the previews from the items in the individual libraries themselves instead of selecting the images in the Slideshow (hoping that would make a difference), and tried to update the previews. But I got the same error.
    What am I missing? Why am I seeing excellent quality when I preview the slideshow when I click the Full Screen play button - but when I export it to 720p HD it looks horrendous.
    Please help!

    FTF you need to hold down the alt key when selecting the images and choose generate preview. The update preview option maintains previous settings. Using alt/option creates a new preview.
    Second HD720p is still significantly below the resolution of your display so the images will look softer.
    But try the previews first and post back.

  • Music won't export with slideshow

    I've created a slideshow with music that works perfectly in Iphoto. When I export to Itunes or IDvd the slideshow looks perfect, but no music is playing with it. I double-checked to make sure my playlist is selected and applied.

    Try creating the slideshow using another account to see if the problem is repeated there. If it is not, then the issue is in your account.
    If you can't get things to work correctly here is an idea for a workaround. Create the slideshow in iPhoto, but do not use any music. Import into iDVD as a slideshow, and add your music there.
    You can also report your difficulties to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html
    I hope this helps.

  • Exported Slideshow to Quicktime Won't Play All Music

    I've just finished a slideshow that I've exported to Quicktime in iPhoto 5. When I play the slideshow from iPhoto, the two music pieces I've selected from a folder in iTunes (the two tunes are the only items in the particular folder I've selected), only the FIRST song plays in the Quicktime movie -- the second half of the slideshow is mysteriously quiet. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!
    Anne

    Hi annelouise,
    Only one song exporting with Slideshows
    Right now, this seems to be a know problem/bug. There have been some work-arounds. Don't know if the problem is with iPhoto, Quicktime or a combo of both.
    -From Bob Worthington: re-ripping the cuts I wanted as background music for the DVD as a single cut in iTunes. I then made a playlist containing the one extended cut of music.
    -Old Toad: share to Quicktime from iPhoto and then import the resulting movie into iMovie you can extract and delete the audio from the video and add the two songs to the video and save.
    Quicktime Pro-open the movie and bring up the Movie Properties menu window. In the top window select the audio track and delete it.
    If you want more than one song you'll have to join them together with iMovie or some other application. Then open that joined file with QT Player. Then do a select all and copy. Now go to the QT window of the movie and select the Edit->Add to Movie menu option. You don't want to scale it because it will change the play speed of the audio unless it's time is exactly the same as the movie.
    You could go the other way, open the movie, select all and copy, and then past with scaling to the audio. That will change the speed of the movie and transitions to fit the audio track. In this case the resulting video file will have the name of the audio track file that you started with.
    You may have to play with it a bit to get exactly what you want. Be sure to work with copies of all the media files for the project.
    -Peter Burtwistle: I opened the Qt movie that iPhoto makes when you export to iDVD and removed the sound track.
    Then made a new soundtrack by opening all three songs in QT, then cutting and pasting them together.
    Finally use QT Pro's 'Add to Movie" option to add the soundtrack to the original movie.
    This worked well and was fast to do too.
    -Joe Lombardo: I ended up having to extend the songs by 20 seconds so I brought them all into GarageBand and made some edits. Then I exported them all to iTunes as a single track and used that for the slideshow
    From scotty321 at MacOSXHints.com: If you have Roxio Toast Titanium installed on your machine, you can join unprotected tracks yourself by simulating a disc burn. Simply take these steps:
    Go to the Audio tab in Toast.
    Drag your audio files from iTunes into Toast.
    Reshuffle them in the proper order within Toast.
    Go up to File: Save As Disc Image. Save your disc image somewhere on your Desktop.
    Choose Utilities: Mount Disc Image. The CD will mount on your desktop, and iTunes will think that you just inserted a CD.
    Within iTunes, select the tracks that you want to join and then use Advanced: Join CD Tracks.
    Go through the import process, and you've got a joined track! Simply rename the track to whatever you want to call it, and you're good to go.
    From Lori...
    Burn the playlist in iTunes.
    Make sure you have itunes Prefs just open the Cd and not automatically play or import the songs.
    Insert the burned CD and iTunes will open.
    Within iTunes, select the tracks that you want to join and then use Advanced: Join CD Tracks.
    Go to Advanced>convert selection to AAC.
    When done, make a new playlist named after the slideshow.
    Put the new combined track into the playlist.
    In iPhoto, select this playlist for your slideshow.

  • Why won't iPhoto Export Slideshows in Mavericks?

    After setting up a slideshow in iPhoto 9.5.1 running on a PowerMac with OS 10.9.5 (Mavericks), the app will not export the slideshow. Why not? How do I get a copy of iPhoto that works? Is Apple no longer supporting iPhoto? When and where will this be announced and what is the work-around suppose to be?

    1 - iPHoto is supported
    2 - iPhoto can export slideshows
    3 - if you want help you need to actually provide information - like what does happen - what error messages - anything else - simply saying "it does not work is not enough to have anyone help you solve your specific problem

  • No Music in exported slideshow

    I have read all the threads in this forum but have yet to see a solution to this problem.
    I created simple slideshow, created a non-DRM playlist with one song in iTunes and attached the music track to the slideshow. It plays fine within iPhoto but when I export it, i get no audio. I have tried several export types but they all do the same thing. Any help would be appreciated.
    Randy

    Having same problem - no music in exported slideshow, even though it plays fine when watching in iPhoto. There are no issues with name or path of the song used, so I don't think that is the problem.
    I have 44 slides in my slideshow, using the classic theme, and many of the slides have different length. When I test what I'm doing with a simple 3 slide slideshow using the same music, the export works fine, but just can't get it to work no matter what I do with the full, 44 slide slideshow. It is extremely frustrating as I have done this successfully before. Any suggestions?

  • Slideshow plays first 2 slides then stops?  (its ok when I export to QT)

    Have a slideshow of 16 individual slides. When i try to play them back in Keynote only the first 2 play, then the music continues but no more slides come up.
    It plays back fine (all 16 slides) when I export to QT and watch it down.
    Any ideas how I can get it to play back in its entirety while still in Keynote?
    Thanks!

    You'll lose handles and filters and speed changes, that's just the way it works, unless you render out a movie and use it to replace the current clips first. You shouldn't lose handles, you should be able to extend the clip in Motion to the full amount of media.
