Brand New!! Sketching Slideshow - Iphoto To Slideshow To Quicktime Movie

Today I learned how to create a slideshow of a sketch I did yesterday when nosotros visited the wonderful garden at Great Dixter inwards Kent.  I've already written virtually the see on my Travels amongst a Sketchbook weblog (see A stride past times stride sketch of the Long Border at Great Dixter).

However I wanted to run into if I could create a slideshow for this weblog as well as Facebook of the stride past times stride photos I took of the sketch equally it was progressing.

First here's the slideshow, as well as then I'll say y'all how I got it!  I personally intend it looks best inwards hard disk format on Facebook.  Apologies to those who saw this post service early on as well as got the incorrect size version!



Those who know me good volition realise I'm writing downwards the instructions of how to practise it adjacent fourth dimension otherwise I'll endeavour to practise it ane time to a greater extent than as well as won't survive able to retrieve a matter virtually what I did.

How to attain a slideshow for your blog

I saved my half-dozen photos equally 1000 pixels broad @72 dpi figuring that should survive virtually correct for Facebook!

Then came the search for the chip of software which would set them together inwards a slideshow which I could set on this blog.

It didn't start well!

First I reviewed both PS Elements 11 and iMovie to run into if either would allow me to attain a curt slideshow from half-dozen slides as well as concluded this wasn't going to survive slowly - as well as I couldn't run into how it was possible!

Next I tried out searching for "how to" as well as came upward amongst virtually aught other than dodgy chaps who wanted me to endeavour their app.  I'm "app averse" unless it has a expert reputation as well as lots of people cause got already adopted it thence that unopen off that avenue.

Finally I took a hold off at iPhoto - as well as it transpired this has a "create a slideshow" option.

Here's what y'all cause got to practise to create a slideshow of an fine art procedure or paintings or whatever y'all desire it to survive about

1. Identify the photos y'all desire to use.
2. rename them amongst the titles y'all desire to purpose equally captions if y'all desire captions to show
• If y'all review the slideshow you'll run into I gave mine a narrative description of the phase of the sketch eg add together coloured pencils
3. Import photos to iPhoto as well as position their location
4. You necessitate to add together whatever data to the paradigm at this phase
• click the picayune "i" bottom correct manus corner of the photograph to add together information
• locate photograph on a map to present where it was taken if appropriate
• provide a description of what is happening inwards photograph if appropriate
• provide a championship for the photo/slide
• repeat for each photograph inwards the slideshow if y'all desire in that place to survive a commentary on what's happening
5. Click the + sign at the bottom left of the concealment inwards iPhoto
6. Choose slideshow from the driblet downwards menu
7. Save the slideshow amongst a championship - these are the words which volition appear on the source paradigm equally the championship for the slideshow.  There's no reach to add together copyright information thence I started the championship amongst the copyright symbol as well as my name
8. Review how long each slide should appear for -  I used vii seconds
9. Review themes, music as well as the residual of settings - all fairly self-explanatory
10. Bottom correct of concealment - click Export as well as this exports the slideshow to a deed format which was Quicktime inwards this instance.
11. Choose the size based on where the moving ikon volition survive viewed.  I chose 960 x 540 pixels which gave 30fps as well as an 8.8MB filesize
12. Upload to Facebook as well as YouTube and/or video host of your choice as well as brand certain you've chosen the correct size file!

That's virtually it.  I bet I've forgotten something! ;)

Let me know what y'all intend virtually the video.
