Export a 1280x720 30fps Slideshow?

Is it possible in iPhoto '11 to export one of your slideshows as a perfect 16:9 1280x720 30fps video file? If so, how do you do it?

iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2010), 3.2GHz, 4GB RAM, 1TB Hard Drive, Mac OS X (10.6.5), iPhone 3GS (16GB), Apple TV (2nd generation)

Not sure what you mean by "perfect" but try this:

In the Slideshow tool bar click Export and the sheet drops down:

Then click on 'Custom Export'

Then click on Options in the next Sheet:

In the Next Window click on Settings (no. 1 here) :

In the resulting window select 30 from the Frame Rate dropdown, then click okay.

This brings you back to the options window, so select Size this time, (no 2):

and select your preferred size at Dimensions:

Then Okay. You can now check your settings:

Click OK and Export.

Thanks for that very helpful answer.

I guess by "perfect" I meant, perfect for the new Apple TV. The built-in "Large" Export option for the Apple TV is only 864x540. The new Apple TV can play 1280x720 30fps files, so it makes sense to export at that resolution and frame rate.
