Will an iPhoto slideshow with music work on all computers in China?

I am making a promotional DVD for an education program in the US, and taking it to China to education fairs. If it is an iPhoto slideshow with music, will it work on all Chinese computers? I assume so, because since it is not video, I should not have to worry about different formats-right? I've got enough to worry about on this trip!

On every single computer in China? Impossible to tell. But if you create a slideshow in iPhoto and send it to iDVD to be burned to a DVD then it will play on anything that plays DVD.

Creating DVD from iPhoto Slideshow with music

I'm trying to create a DVD of a slideshow with music that was created previously in iPhoto and then "Shared with iDVD". The .m4v file located in Pictures> iPhoto Slideshows is not accessible in iDVD. The only way I can make it work is to spend the hour or so required to start from scratch by clicking "Share with iDVD" from an open iPhoto slideshow, thus creating a .m4v file and then going directly to the iDVD menu that's automatically opened at the end of the "Share with iDVD" process. Any ideas?

Welcome to the forums.
When I'm going from iPhoto to iDVD with a slideshow, I get good results by Exporting from iPhoto to a large-sized Quicktime movie. I can preview the video and music, and if I'm happy, I can then just drop the Quicktime file onto the iDVD menu area (not into a drop zone, that's just eye candy). It's been a reliable process for me.

IPhoto Slideshow with Music to MobileMe

Is it possible to upload a slideshow with music background to MobileMe, so that the music selected in for the slideshow also plays in MobileMe?

You need to export the slideshow as a QuickTime movie and then upload that to MobileMe. And you need the permissions from the copyright owners for the music, of course.

ATV iPhoto Slideshow with/Music

Hi-
I recently purchased an Apple TV to show my iPhoto slideshows on my flat-screen TV. I am a wedding photographer and use the slideshows as part of my presentation to potential clients. These slideshows have music playing in the background and in iPhoto the music is set to loop until all of the pictures have been displayed. Unfortunately on my Apple TV the song plays once and then stops, for some reason it is not looping in the ATV as it does on iPhoto. I called Apple support and was told that is how it works. I find it hard to believe the that the ATV would display the slideshow different than how I have it setup on iPhoto. Anyone else experience this?
Alex

That's odd, I'm able to loop a single song to my photo slide shows on my tv. You can do this by creating a playlist in itunes on your computer that contains the song you want to loop. Sync your playlist back to your tv. Go to Photos from the tv menu and select Slide Show Preferences > Music, select the playlist that you just created in itunes with your song of interest for looping. Back out of the music menu to Slide Show Preferences and set Repeat to "On" below the music menu.

Uploading an iPhoto Slideshow with Music

I just spent a bunch of time designing a photo slideshow from my daughter's birthday party, complete with synchronized music, and I was hoping to post it on .mac so that I could simply invite others to view it on the web. Now that it's finally finished, though, I can't figure out how to upload it. Do I need to burn it to disc in order to share it? Can I share it on .mac, or do I need to use something like YouTube? I'm a total novice here, so any guidance, not to mention concrete instructions, would be appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks, Terence! One of the best things about switching to a Mac, for me, has been discovering the amazing community of people out there who are so smart and capable and willing to help the newbies. I never feel frustrated and alone like in the old PC days....

'08 iphoto slideshow with music

I am making a slideshow for my parents' 50th anniversary in '08 iPhoto. I created a playlist in my iTunes and clicked on the Anniversary playlist in Music for my slideshow. I see the 4 songs in my playlist but it continues to play one song over and over. How do I get it to play the next 3 songs in my playlist as well? Thanks!

I use Audacity www.audacity.com to make one track to play along with slideshows. It's a free ausio editing app - you can use only parts of the songs, create crossfades, and do a whole lot of other stuff if you're interested.
But to answer the question you asked...I think you can hold the shift key to select multiple tracks within a playlist. In other words, when you click a playlist, you have to choose a track to go with the slideshow. Using the shift key allows you to select more than one song.

Burn iphoto slideshow with music to dvdr

I am having trouble burning a slideshow to a DVD. Can this be done?

Yes.
But what are you trying to do, exactly?
Burn a DVD that you can play on your domestic DVD player? If so, you need to use the Share -> Send to iDVD as only iDVD can make such a disk
Just back up a Slideshow to a Disk? Then export it as a QuickTime movie and burn that with the FInder.

Is it possible to publish an iPhoto slideshow with the music?

Is it possible to publish a slideshow with music so others can hear the music as well as see the photos? Thanks. (I have a MobileMe account).

An alternative method to put the slideshow up for others to view is to import the QT movie back into iPhoto and put it in a MobileMe gallery and publish.
If the movie is large still another alternative is to import the movie into iMovie and share it from there to a MMe account where you can select multiple sizes so those with slower internet connections can choose a smaller version to play. The following screenshot is the export window from iMovie:
Click to view full size
*+NOTE: This screenshot is from the iLife 09 iMovie. I don't remember if the iLife 08 iMovie has the same export options.+*
What you will get is this type of MMe gallery: iMovie 09 to MMe.
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 versions) 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

What slideshow with music maker program will run on Mac Powerbook G4?

What slideshow with music maker program will install and run on my Mac Powerbook G4 1.5.8 1.33 GHz OSX laptop? Or are there any out there, I know my system is old but it's all I got for now.

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:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1089
All above suggestions will work on a PPC Mac running Leopard.

IPhoto quits when I try to make a slideshow with music

IPhoto quits constantly when I try to make a slideshow with music from my Itunes library. I've tried creating a new, separate library with no luck. I'm running mavericks with iPhoto 9.5.1. Does anyone else have this problem? Are there any other options on a mac to make a simple slide show? This is a pretty simple thing. Although iPhoto's always been really slow the past couple of years, the fact that my mac is incapable of doing it is beyond disappointing.
Thanks,
Tom

Tom,
do you have enough free disk space? rendering slideshows needs plenty of free space, or the system may have problems.
When exactly is iPhoto crashing? When you play the slideshow? When you add the music? When you render the slideshow as a video?
You have tried a new library, but have you tried differnet music?
And tried if you are having the same problem from a different user account?

Slideshow with music to cd or dvd.

how do you take the slide show put your music to it then make a dvd of it,with the music and everything? i have the slideshow saved under slideshows.thanks

While in the slideshow mode use the Share ➙ iDVD menu option to send the slideshow with music to iDVD. This creates a Quicktime movie file of the slideshow and adds it to iDVD.
Another method is to put the photos you used in the slideshow in an album, select the album and use the Share ➙ iDVD menu. This creates a slidesshow in iDVD with the still photos from iPhoto. You will need to add the music and transition in iDVD. I found this gives me better slideshow image quality than going thru the Quicktime movie to iDVD method. Just a preference. The latter method will not let you use the Ken burns effect or have more than one transition in the slideshow. But it does let you add titles and subtitles to the slideshow if desired.

Slideshow with music I would like to add bonus commentar

Hi, I created exported a quicktime slideshow with music from iPhoto and imported it into iDVD. What would be a way to add the option to the dvd to listen to audio commentary about the slideshow. I imagine this would work like a regular film dvd where the bonus features section has an option to turn on
"director commentary" Any ideas? THANKS

G'day RittDog
It's relatively easy if you're prepared to spend the time doing it.
• First, forget about the slideshow option. Instead, open up an iMovie project and import your slides into it (ensure you're first set to NTSC for the US of A). Use the Ken Burns effect if you want. Also, add transitions between slides. Unlike the slideshow, you can use different transitions for each slide if your tastes run to it. Don't forget to set the required time for each slide.
• Add your music track(s)
• Now, using something like Audacity (it's free), record your voice over tracks (one per slide) for each slide (you do have a microphone/iSight don't you?). Set Audacity to 48,000 Hz by the way. Trim the tracks, or select the appropriate part. Export the trimmed tracks or the selection as AIFF files to a folder.
• Import the AIFF files into itunes, and use from there, or open the AIFF folder into the media/audio window, or simply drag & drop them. Place them into the middle track in iMovie. Arrange each voiceover to it's appropriate slide.
• Dampen the music during each voiceover, or for the whole show.
• Export to iDVD, burn as disk image.
• If you really, really want to have the voiceovers as a choice, export a Quicktime movie WITHOUT the voiceovers (untick them via the box alongside the right of the track), and then export again WITH the voiceovers (different name of course). Import the two movies into a suitable iDVD menu, with a button for each.

Can I drop an IMovie Slideshow with music into IDVD?

Hello,
I created (and it took a long time) a slideshow with music using IMovie. Now I want to burn it to a DVD and am realizing I need to put it into IDVD. I saved it to my desktop and then dropped it into the IDVD Magic program but it does not save the slideshow. Or if it does, I can't seem to figure out how to play it. I also can't figure out how to choose the picture for the IDVD theme page. Any help with how to burn my IMovie slideshow on a DVD using either IDVD or some other way, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Or if it does, I can't seem to figure out how to play it.
Click on the "Preview" button in the bottom left corner of the iDVD window. For more details go to iDVD Help: >_Making a Magic iDVD_
I also can't figure out how to choose the picture for the IDVD theme page.
Once you have added your slideshowGo to Help: _Adding images and movies to drop zones_
Any help with how to burn my IMovie slideshow on a DVD using either IDVD or some other way, would be greatly appreciated.
I am not familiar with the workings Magic DVD, but if you have already created the slideshow, it might be just as easy to follow the regular route in making this project. If you wish to try this, follow these steps.
1. Open iDVD, select to create a new project, and name it.
2. Select the theme.
3. Import your slideshow into iDVD. Go to your movies folder (or wherever your project is saved), and drag the iMovie icon (the one with the star) to the window of your iDVD project. Avoid drop zones.
4. You can add photos to the drop zones by clicking on the "Media" Button in the bottom right corner, and then on "Photos". Just drag and drop the photos to their desired location.
5. Preview by clicking on the triangle at the bottom of the window.
6. When you are ready to burn, first go to File>Save as disk image. This will allow you to have a final check of your project before burning to DVD. You can see how this project will actually play when played on a regular DVD player. If everything is fine, you can then burn the DVD using Disk Utility.
I hope this helps.
