Been trying to find a way to make a slideshow in iPhoto into a video. Is there a way to do this?
iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular (VZ), iOS 7.0.4
Not directly in iPhoto.
But if you also have iMovie, you can select your photos in iMovie in the Media Browser and create a movie.
And to open your iPhoto photos in iMovie, see: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/2.0/#blnkee26bc1f (Open photos in iMovie or other iOS apps)
The problem with using iMovie is that I can't take away the pinch effect that is automatically applied. I believe it's called the Ken Burn's effect if I'm not mistaken. I needed the photos to be still in the video.
You can avoid the Ken Burns effect, but it would be a lot of work:
See: http://help.apple.com/imovie/ipad/2.0/index.html#knac3eec39c6
If you don’t want the Ken Burns effect applied to a photo, set the image position and zoom level to be the same for the start and end points.
Adjust the movement of photos with the Ken Burns effect
iMovie applies the Ken Burns effect to the photos you add to your project. With this effect, the camera appears to sweep across and zoom in on the photo. If there are people in the photo, iMovie uses face detection to keep faces within the viewing area.
You can adjust the Ken Burns effect so that the motion starts and ends on the parts of the image you specify.
- In the timeline, tap the photo you want to adjust.The Ken Burns effect controls appear in the lower-right corner of the image in the viewer.
- To set the way the photo is framed at the beginning, tap the Start button
.
- Pinch to zoom in or out, then drag the image in the viewer to frame it the way you want.
- To set the way the photo is framed at the end, tap the End button
.
- Pinch to zoom in or out, then drag the image in the viewer to frame it the way you want.
- To close the controls, tap the Ken Burns Effect button
, or tap outside of the clip.
If you don’t want the Ken Burns effect applied to a photo, set the image position and zoom level to be the same for the start and end points.
I find it really hard to believe that nobody at Apple said, "Hey guys, are you SURE that every iPad user wants to have their photos shifting every which way? How bout putting in a command to switch the Ken Burns effect on and off, and then let the user tinker with individual slides if they want to take the time." (How hard could it be to do that? Not very hard.) Was that person shouted down? Fired? WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
How can I make a slideshow in iPhoto into a video on an iPad 3?
