slide show themes

are there additional topics for the windows media player slideshow feature. Im trying to find a Christmas style one. any help would be great and thank you

I suggest you make your own slideshow
using Windows Movie Maker and Photo Story 3.
Then you will have a. WMV video file, you can
play in Windows Media Player and to share with
others.

(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
Restore point before installing software or updates)

  • Customize a slide show using the images of several different themes.

    I downloaded several themes for Windows 7 and can change between them. What I want to do is to create a custom theme using the photos of the themes that I have. In other words, chosen pictures of the Germany, the United States, the Bing and themes Aero to a custom theme.

    Now what I get from the help files, is that, to do this, I need to have all the photos into a single file. It's not a problem, but for one thing. I can't FIND the pictures of the theme. Properties on the photos don't show their location, and they are not saved in the folder my pictures.

    Research of the pictures showed thousands of back, it's not a viable option.

    How to find pictures of the theme?

    Hello mac173173,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

    In addition to the these suggestions, you can also go into Desktop Backgrounds under each theme and make a copy of the images you want to set up, and then select the images for the Undertow.

    -Right click Desktop > click Customize
    -Click on desktop background > right click on each image you want to save > select make a copy (place the copy in a folder in your library of images that you want to use)

    Repeat for each image throughout each theme. The select images to include in the background slide show.

    All the slides in my project are set to 3 seconds. I want to show them for 5 seconds and want to make this change to ALL slides, not one by one. Any idea? Thank you

    Would have been easier if you did it before you create the slides (preferences, default values).

    For existing slides:

    • Activate the film
    • Use CTRL + A to select all slides
    • In the properties panel for 5 seconds change time

  • Legends of the slide show appear to have boxes around them when played back on mobile devices

    Hello... I searched this problem but could not find a reference - apologies if I have not quite use the right search terms and it has already been answered.

    I have problems with a widget slideshow base - seen on a PC (iMac in this case) the captions of images, navigation buttons and the meter have NOT any visible borders (I have not rubbed or filled the container boxes, other than the nav buttons). However, see the slideshow even on an iPad or iPhone, and there seems to be around the buttons of legend, meter and nav boxes. I would have preferred that there no contours of the visible area.

    The problem page can be seen here (remember, fine on a PC, not very well on a mobile device)

    http://mikehiggs.co.UK/musesite/case-studies.html

    There are two slide shows on the page I tried two different widgets - both have the same problem.

    The strange thing is, I used the same method on the slideshow on the homepage at the top of the page and it works fine.

    If anyone can shed some light on this 'problem' I would appreciate it a lot - I tried all I know at this point.

    Thanks for any help.

    Additive...

    If I change the transitions of the slideshow of 'horizontal' to 'fade' the problem goes away. But I prefer the slide show slide.

    Just thought this extra info can help diagnose the problem.

    Post edited by: MikeHiggs

    I believe that this is caused by a bug error rounded in mobile Safari. If you set a feature of width not no white on the legend, or set the background transparent instead of white color, I expect that it will go away.

  • Photos - slide show transitions becomes jerks after export

    The slideshow transitions become jerks after export to iTunes.  Sliding panels, classic, etc. normally play in the Photo Slideshow app, but become "sticky" or "jerky" following export.

    I don't remember this problem with iPhoto or earlier versions of IOS - even when the films were anchored.  Is this a known issue?

    Do you mean that you have created a Photo Book?

    There is no way to create a slide show from a book directly project in the Photos.

    However, you could save your book as a PDF file and then export the pages in the PDF file of the file as JPEG images.

    Now import the JPEGs as new photos to Photos, make a record of them and show them as a slideshow.

  • Organize photos in slide shows

    Set up a slide show and want a few photos show two on a page, rather than as simple - if there's a way to do it manually?

    Pictures has created some as two on a page, but I want more pages like that.

    Thank you very much

    No, it is not possible in Photos.  If you want more photos-by-side in a slide show, you must try to find a theme of slideshow with more models for several pictures. The sequence of templates for the slide is fixed and fully automatic.  You can move around slides between the models, but the sequence of patterns is fixed.

    Consider making the slideshow in Keynote instead.

    While creating a slide show with pictures, can you assign music to a specific set of photos? I would use 5 different pieces of music for every 5 parts of my slide show.

    No, you can't.  One solution is to create 5 different slideshows and export them to the office where you can bring together them in a single quicktime movie file and use it.

    If you have a copy of iMovie 6 HD, it can be hacked to work with El Capitan. With it you can assign exactly music groups of slides in the slide show:

    Thunderbird is an email client not a slideshow creator. You will need to use software to create a slide show and save it to a file. Then you can send it as an attachment. Then the person who you send it to would have to have a software that can handle the type of file that you create.

  • adding music to iTunes for slide show

    I can't understand how to add music to a slide show of pictures of my iTunes library. I can't find the album, but the songs are not highlighted and can't be selected in program pictures. I tried to keep iTunes open and also tried to download music on the cloud, but nothing helped.

    In slide show mode, click music and then select iTunes. Find the track (s) you want to add and click on them.  When the track turned to the blue and a blue checkmark next to him you will know that it is selected and it will appear at the top under the music chosen:

  • exporting/sharing slide show by Photos of iOS

    This morning, I took a series of photos on my new iPad Pro 9.7 ". When we returned, I looked at them and idly clicked on 'slide show', I had never used before. I found only one) you can choose from different themes with built in music and b) hook it upward at the TV and watch it there. All very cool.

    I tried to find a way to save/export the slide show exactly as it was. Starting a project in iMovie did not and I do not have anything cloud related, so it's on. I tried each option/button I could find, but could not understand if there is a way to export/drop to my iMac. I am able to send the photos - but it's not what I'm wanting to do so; Slideshow theme I was using was really cool and it's how I would like to export (as one/loan from finished slide show).

    FWIW, couldn't find anything directly relevant in the user guide.

    Anyone with ideas? If someone thinks it would be better addressed in the forum iPad (but there is no subcategory of Photos), please moved it.

    As far as I know, there is no way to export a slide show of Photos iOS.

    He was able in iPhoto iOS. We can share a slide show on a Web page and it fold online, but the creative sharing - books, slideshow options, newspapers Miss pictures iOS.

    Not even iCloud library transfers slideshows between devices.

    You could try only to recreate the slide show by Photos of the tor on your Mac.

  • What video file is open and slide show is chosen video shutter as they play

    If I open my vidoe file and choose slide show I get shutter video but the sound is ok Note: videos from the same folder play well in Windows Media payer and they pay as well in Windows Media Center. My system is Vista Home Premium and has 4 GB of memory and a 320 GB hard drive and a GeForce 220 PCI-E video card I also have equipped with a Win on PCI tv card. Everything seems to work right!  As I said, open the video folder and slide show has chosen so it would play all the videos in the folder as a side show that I get video shutter (it's a lot for the player to see the side)? When you choose slide show, which opens to play them?

    Don't know if this is a real problem because they seem to work in slide show itself well. I can't reproduce your problem.

    I suggest that you could look and see if you can get the updated for your video card drivers. Go to the manufacturer of the video card and download the driver.

    You can get the name of the video card if you don't in Manager devices, graphics cards.

    I hope this helps.

    When I use the screen 'Add items' to try and add these 3 different projects on my DVD I wind up just with a great slide show, which has 30-40 pictures in.

    Can I do this?  If so, how?

    ==========================================
    It's a matter of time.

    Save each project in the. Film WMV format. Then you can import
    the three films in DVD Maker files and each of them will be a chapter...
    This way, you will have a menu.

    Once the DVD-video is encoded you cannot add additional files
    the DVD.

    If you need information on how to save... validate your version of Movie Maker.

    In regards to your panoramas... free Photo Story 3 can a pan

    PhotoStory 3 for Windows
    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=11132
    (works on XP, Vista and?) Win7?)

    This is not a full tutorial, but should be enough to help you started...

    First be sure that the photo is less than 7200 x 7200 pixels pixels.

    Import a panoramic photo in Photo Story 3 and move on
    the screen "tell your photos and customize the animation."
    (do not remove the black borders)

    On the left, click Custom animation...

    Check the box on the screen to customize the animation...... "specify
    Start and end Position of the movement "." Resize and reposition the
    Start management Position and final Position you prefer and
    on the left, click the Preview button to see the result.

    Also you can import multiple instances of a photo and
    Pan from point A to point B in the first instance,... then point B
    point c on the second instance and so on.

    When the effects of movement are completed you can add music if
    you want and go to the screen "Save Your Story."

    You can left click on the 'Settings' button for several choices of
    resolution... the profile of 1024 x 768 is perhaps a good choice.

    Also... Choose a backup location and a name for your video.

    To save the project as a. WMV video file... click Next
    last time.

    Then you can import that video as well as other photos and
    video clips in DVD Maker to create your DVD. If you have
    problems with the video clips you may need to convert to MP4
    paste them into WMV format before importing in creation of DVD.
