	Thursday, May 14 2009 By: chrisb Easy ways to share your slideshows. iPhoto easily creates slideshows but they are limited to running in iPhoto. This tip shows how to prepare your iPhoto Slideshow to be shared with others. Start by creating a slideshow in iPhoto. Select the photos you want to include in the slideshow and click the + button on the bottom left of the iPhoto window. Choose Slideshow. Reorder the images as desired. Select a Theme for your slideshow. Select the music to accompany your slide show. You can choose any of the music from your iTunes library. How to have more than one song in your slideshow Test your slide show. Make sure the music you have chosen fits your images. Check the Ken Burns effect to make sure that it isn't cutting off the important part of any of your images. If it is, check out How to set the Ken Burns effect for individual images in your slide show. [iPhoto '09] [For iPhoto '08] Once you are satisfied with your slide show, you are ready to do the steps to convert it to a movie which can be shared in several ways.

Reply to This Publishing your iPhoto Slideshow to DVD, MobileMe or YouTube Authored by: chrisb on Wednesday, December 30 2009 To use themes in iDVD you need to drag the movies into the move drop zones.

Now I have what I needed for my brothers bday! Reply to This Publishing your iPhoto Slideshow to DVD, MobileMe or YouTube Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, May 29 2010 Hi, I have a question. I want to share an iphoto slideshow accompanied by music purchased from itunes. However, the music won't play on other computers because of licensing issues. I'd like to show the slideshow at my daughter's school. What can I do? Thanks. Reply to This Publishing your iPhoto Slideshow to DVD, MobileMe or YouTube Authored by: chrisb on Sunday, May 30 2010 Hi - I don't have time to look in to this fully, since I am on vacation, but I think if you buy your music tracks from mp3.amazon.com you won't have the problem since amazon tracks don't have the same protections..

Reply to This Burning to a DVD Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, June 04 2010 Here is the problem I encounter. I have a Macbook pro with the latest version of Snow Leapord. I did every step that you showed. However, with four minutes to go on the burn, it ejected the DVD disk. I tried several disks. Does the same thing. I tried a few other programs to burn and it does the same. It reads from disks with no problem. Just keeps kicking the disks out without a error message. Reply to This Publishing your iPhoto Slideshow to DVD, MobileMe or YouTube Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, August 30 2010 Is there a way to convert the iPhoto slideshow to play on a webpage created via iWeb. I have a MacBook Pro with the lastest O/S and apps installed. Thanks for any assistance you can provide. Reply to This Publishing your iPhoto Slideshow to DVD, MobileMe or YouTube Authored by: chrisb on Monday, August 30 2010 Sure, no problem. Create the slideshow movie as in this tip then create your movie page in iWeb. Your slideshow movie will be in a folder called iPhoto Slideshows inside of your pictures folder. Drag the slideshow movie into the movie placeholder in iWeb. iWeb will do all of the work of resizing the video as needed for the web when you publish the site Reply to This Vertical photo wobble in iweb slideshow Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, September 23 2010 The slideshow I created in iphoto looks great when I play it with that app, but posted into my website via iweb, the vertical photos are visibly wobbly. The horizontals are fine. Is there a way to correct for this? Thanks for your time. Reply to This Vertical photo wobble in iweb slideshow Authored by: chrisb on Thursday, September 23 2010 Hi. I'm not sure what wobbly means. Can you email me the web address at basics4mac@mac.com so I can take a look? Chris Reply to This Publishing your iPhoto Slideshow to DVD, MobileMe or YouTube Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, October 27 2010 Excellent advice - thanks! Question: is there a way to change frames in iPhoto? I am using about 40 pictures and I would like to be able to control the size, sequence and what picture goes to what frame. I appreciate your help, Reply to This Publishing your iPhoto Slideshow to DVD, MobileMe or YouTube Authored by: chrisb on Wednesday, October 27 2010 I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean by "frames". Can you be a bit more specific? Chris Reply to This Publishing your iPhoto Slideshow to DVD, MobileMe or YouTube Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, October 27 2010 When you select Scrapbook in Themes all your pictures appear in frames. It seems that the iPhoto program has pages with a set amount of frames: single frames on most pages but multiple frames on some pages. I have not been about to figure out how to determine which picture to place in what frame. I hope this makes sense to you. Andre Reply to This Publishing your iPhoto Slideshow to DVD, MobileMe or YouTube Authored by: chrisb on Wednesday, October 27 2010 OK, I'm with you now…I haven't used the Scrapbook theme in a while. As far as I know there isn't any way to control what frame template is used at any given place in the slide show. The most control you have is to move the photos on the top bar left and right to change the order which puts them into different frames. It isn't like creating a book where you can choose a template for each page. Reply to This Publishing your iPhoto Slideshow to DVD, MobileMe or YouTube Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, November 30 2011 Thanks, but I don't get how to publish to You Tube. With imovie it's easy using Share, but don't where to go with this. When I right click on the mv4 file that gets created by above process I ca see how to burn onto a DVD only. Thanks Jenni. Reply to This Publishing your iPhoto Slideshow to DVD, MobileMe or YouTube Authored by: chrisb on Wednesday, November 30 2011 There isn't a direct way to upload to youtube from iPhoto. Once you get your slideshow movie done, you just upload it to youtube directly. http://basics4mac.com/article.php/slideshow_youtube Reply to This Publishing your iPhoto Slideshow to DVD, MobileMe or YouTube Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, May 03 2012 I've just completed a DVD created on my old Power PC 2005 iMac and it's gorgeous! We have icebergs in town and the opportunity for stunning pics just couldn't be ignored. I've played the DVD on my 46 inch flat screen in a blu-ray player and even though the pics are not HD the results are wonderful. I created the slideshow in iPhoto 6, added music from my iTunes stock, clicked on "share" and "send to iDVD". The number of themes to chose from there are numerous. I dragged and dropped a few pics to the "preview" theme, titled as desired and burned the whole business on my optical drive. No problems at all. I"m in the market for a new iMac and I sincerely hope I can continue to make my DVDs, as I have been doing for years, on the new one. If not, this old iMac will stay in the house for a very long time. Reply to This Publishing your iPhoto Slideshow to DVD, MobileMe or YouTube Authored by: chrisb on Thursday, May 03 2012 Actually, iDVD isn't included with new Macs any more since it has officially been abandoned by Apple. If you bought iLife '11 on DVD you can install it on the new Mac. iLife '11 is still available for sale at least as of now. Reply to This
