It would be nice to not have to create a string of songs in Garage band and then hope they transition nicely with your photos. Mostly, I just want the whole show to end gracefully. Even if I fit to music, it just ends. There is no option to add additional end screens either which could br useful for the abruptness. My slide show is long so I have to listen to the whole thing every time I want to see if my adjustment worked for the end. There does not appear to be a preview to just check the end and how it is performing with the music.
The picture in picture aspect is so crisp and nice. If the music just worked as nicely.
So my questions are:
1) How to fade the music at the end
2) Is there a way to preview the result without listening to the whole thing?
3) Does the newere LR5 provide an option for selecting more songs and manipulating the fades?
The slideshow module seems to autoadjust the blacks in my lowlight images making them appear grainy despite them looking right to my eye in the Develope module. How do I prevent this?
I am using Photoshop elements 10 with windows 7 on my Toshiba laptop.
I am trying to make a slide show of photos for my brother's funeral. The photos will be shown on a screen at the church and on a TV monitor at home. I was used to Photoshop 4, but had purchased but not really used Photoshop Elements 10. I am about 1000 miles away from home so I cannot go back to try to using Photoshop 4 which is not on this laptop. I don't think I want to change (i.e. resample) the pixels, etc.
I have put into order all of the photos. However, the photos are of varying sizes. The photos taken digitally are fine. However, I have a lot of photos take a long time ago for like 3X3 or 2X3, i.e. like in the 50's - 90's, which were scanned. Then provided to me in a variety of ways. Coming to me they are small on the page. ie like in one corner. I am not trying to shrink these photos. I am trying to resize them larger. And probably get rid of most of the white background.
I need to bring musical notes into a Photoshop document to create an opacity mask. Where can I find musical notes to match what I see on music sheets minus the lines. Just the pure notes. Not looking for a "free" option. Would be great if there was a font option because I need to write several lines to wrap around a 3D object.
I am working on an image of Elvis and using layers and blending techniques to put the music to one of his songs over his face. But I want the musical overlay to mold to the curves of his face. Is there a way to do this? The blend mode I'm currently using is Multiply. I have tried other layer modes but it still does not give me the effect that I'm looking for.
I have bought the hard copy version of corel draw Suit X5 and waiting for it. I originally dwn loaded it from the web and so did my son. We are working on a project together. He found TT-Musical Symbols in his dwn loaded version and I do not have it on my dwn load version. Do you have TT-Musical Symbols in your drop down text? and or when you dwn loaded the trail version, have you got it?
I'm very unfamiliar with any but the most basic stuff in Library and Develop. I've attempted to create a slide show, decided I wanted to change it and start over but it seems the unsaved slideshow is still hanging about.
I don't see how to get rid of it, I continue to see an 'Unsaved slide show' written near the top left/center of slideshow screen.I want to just ditch that attempt and start over.
I have a 66 image slideshow sorted from a collection.
LR will only export 11 images.
I have tried from the original images (not in a collection), have saved a slideshow, have previewed and played, everything works fine on screen but I can't export the slideshow as jpegs.
I am trying to select music for my slideshow in LR 3. When I click on "select music" in the Slideshow Module I am able to select a song but because of the number of photos in the show I need more than one song or else find a much longer song. I need to add three songs to get adequate length. This is on a PC laptop. I have tried holding down various buttons while clicking on an additional song to add. including the shift button, Alt button, Ctrl, Window button, and Fn. It still keeps unchecking the selected song and then checking the next song I click on.
How do I get more than one song into the Slideshow?
In LR 4, you should skip the previews and just start playing a slideshow (it would render as it played). It looks like that's been removed in LR5? How can I restore the LR4 functionality?
I have exported a slideshow in LR4.2 , w7 64bit, the html preview file works ok but the swf file just shows a greay screen with a ciurcular arrow flashing on a grey screen.
I have created a collection set in Lightroom 5, and under this set there are 5 collections. I would like to make a slide show of this collection set, and I would like my slide show go in sequence with collection 1 through 5. Each collection has still and video images and I would like to put a text messages in the beginning of each collection segment.
I searched the web, look into few books that I have and I did not see anything dealing on how to make a slide show out of a collection set.
Why exporting a slidehshow pdf should result in some images not being displayed but in their place a grey screen with a red diagonal band from corner to corner..?
I have a question concerning the Slideshow module in LR5. When you add to create a slideshow music file (any file in mp3 format) appears in the right pane, next to the name of the music file exclamation point with the message: "The selected file is not a valid music file".
This is - as I wrote above - with each music file in mp3 how I try to add a Playback slideshow.
I have a time series if 245 images that I want to run in a slideshow. Problem is I want to run them in reverse order to that shown in the library. Any thoughts on how this can be done?
Yesterday suddenly some clients came over to see my work.Besides showing them the albums i thought it would be cool to also to show them a slideshow.I knew lightroom could do this, so i quickly selected a bunch of foto's and went to the slideshow module. It was super easy! Next step.. adding music. The slideshow was 10minutes long and so i needed around 3 music songs
However.. i could only manage to get 1 song for the entire slideshow.. Is there a (hidden) option to add more songs or a playlist?
While it looks like there have been some great updates in the forthcoming version, I'm surprised to not see mention of any new slideshow functionality. LR3 was very disappointing in this regard only letting you use one song and also no ability to apply ken burns type effects etc. Am I missing something or did Adobe really not make any changes to that module?
I had this problem before, thought I had cured it, but it has come back. At the end of a slideshow, I always add this slide.
Slideshow will hang up on export encoding the frame for this image, or the last one before it. Before when I had this problem, I had always stored it as a jpeg and just coppied it into the folder of images to be included in the slideshow. Thinking it must be a corrupted file of some sort, although it will open fine in CS5, I created a new image and stored it as a tiff. I then would open it in CS5, and 'save as' a new jpeg in the image folder. Now, no matter what I do, sometimes it will work fine, and sometimes it will hang up. LR 4.1 just sits there. No error message. Just will not complete the final frames. Very frustrating to wait an hour or more for it to create a slideshow and it hangs at the last image. I am on a Vista Home Premium machine.
I'm having a problem exporting slides to video using the Slideshow tab in Lightroom 3. I have a folder of images that I am trying to export to video. The folder contains 290 or so images. I have successfully exported folders with more and less images before, so I know that the number of images is not the problem.
When I export the folder of images to video, Lightroom will consistently freeze on the last frame and refuse to do any more work or complete the action. There doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason to this occuring, as I have closed all other programs to free up as much memory as possible, rebooted my machine, and restarted Lightroom. I have used identical settings to export other folders with success. FWIW, this same bug affects LR4 beta.
I'm using a Macbook Pro with a 2.66ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4GB of RAM.
My slideshows are quite lengthy and run for longer than a standard song. If I fit to the music, the slides change too quickly. Is it possible to somehow have multiple songs that run back to back ?? It would be great if more than one song could be fitted to the duration of the slideshow. I like to have a decent time length before each slide changes.
