Hi...anyone out there recommend some MAC software for creating a slideshow
set to music on a DVD that can be played on a TV or computer - would need to contain approx 200 images.. cheers ta
um iLife?
get your photos in iPhoto and pick out the ones you want to use - get them in an album all by themselves
iPhoto will do you a basic slideshow - but you get better results if you export to iMovie. You can then play around with different pans and wipes and things. drag your music of choice over from itunes
then use iDVD to create your DVD menus and stuff
I managed it with my holiday photos it must be easy!
Yup, iDVD is your friend....
cheers guys , will have a play see how it goes.
If you want a more interesting use of Ken Burns effect pans, Photo to Movie may well float your boat.
mm...tried the basic slideshow in iDVD and it only accepts 99 shots...need to have space for 200....so a bit stuck...
Create the slideshow in iPhoto as I don't think it has a limit and then export to iDVD. Just worked for 200+ photos for me.
iDVD all the way - as with Sandwich i've just done one for a client with >200 images, no problem.....
copy originals (ie drag folder) into i-photo, drag and drop to i-DVD and away you go.... 😀

What type of Mac are you using as the older ones cough a bit when asked to manipulate lots of photos and use iDVD at the same time. My 2GHz G5 is getting to this stage even with 8Gb of RAM! G4 laptops may not manage an acceptable speed at all.
Create the show in iMovie. Then you can add titles etc.
Then use iDVD to create the DVD menu screens and burn the disc.
