Mac iPhoto Slideshow to iTunes and iMovie Movie Primer Tutorial<\/p><\/div>\n

The Mac iPhoto Primer Tutorial<\/a> from yesterday explains how Mac OS X iPhoto application does a great job of storing your photographs (on the Mac laptop’s hard disk) from a variety of sources, and it shows this for the import of photographs from a digital camera’s memory card.<\/p>\n

Today we follow up this idea and show how mind-bogglingly integrated iPhoto is with other Mac laptop “desktop”<\/i> applications. During the making of the tutorial iPhoto integrated with iTunes, iMovie and along the way Finder comes into the picture too with its really cute photo file grouping right click “Quick Look”<\/i> usage (last two slide<\/a>s show this).<\/p>\n

Basically today we take a single “event”<\/i><\/a>, equating to a date the photographer implicitly “stored”<\/i> on the data just by taking the care to set a valid date on the digital camera. So this becomes an “event”<\/i> on iPhoto with a date name as default (though you can change this) … today we chose the “9 January 2008”<\/i> iPhoto “event”<\/i> … and this can lead to the creation of an iPhoto Slideshow<\/a>, as shown during the tutorial (the early slides in iMovie are a bit of a deadend by the way, but got left in in case somebody else needs this type of functionality).<\/p>\n

An iPhoto Slideshow can then be exported as a movie<\/a>, and this is done during the tutorial. The default export option will allow you to import the movie into iTunes<\/a>, and this same m4v movie<\/a> can be imported into iMovie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

From there, you have additional “Share”<\/i> options with all these desktop applications and once you have m4v videos, these are compatible for YouTube<\/a> usage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As you can imagine this is a very powerful combination of media “players”<\/i> for you to present what you want to say or show.<\/p>\n

This tutorial<\/a> uses the great Lightbox<\/a> for its slideshow presentation, but if you like the homebaked older slideshow style of presentation there is a link here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
