Filmora Video Editor (Mac) Filmora Video Editor for Mac is an easy-to-use yet powerful video editing.
So, you just copied a few dozen photos of your son’s 8th birthday party to your MacBook, and now you want to have the family gather around to relive this jovial event. A photo slideshow would be best, but you don’t have iPhoto or any other photo apps installed. What to do?
By using the Quick Look feature in OS X in conjunction with Finder, you can quickly launch a photo slideshow. Now, this might be one of those tips that some Mac users will yawn at, and that’s because it’s so incredibly simple. But, if you don’t know it, well, you don’t know it.
How to get Quick View to show you a slideshow of photos using Finder:
- While browsing the folder with the photos in Finder, select all photos by hitting Command-A or alternatively going to the Edit menu and choosing “Select All.”
- Hit the Space bar.
- Enjoy your slideshow!
Yeah, really, that’s it!
- In the Photos app on your Mac, select the photos you want in your slideshow.
- Also formerly known as iPhotos, Apple Photos is a reliable Mac tool for editing.
- The lightweight and fast media browser and viewer for Mac OS X designed for Photographers, Graphic Artists and Web Designers. Featuring an extremely versatile and aesthetically pleasing interface, Lyn delivers an easy to use geotagging technology, image editing and a complete solution for sharing your photographs. Lyn natively supports all popular image formats like JPEG, TIFF, JPEG 2000, PNG.
Of course, if you only want to select a few photos instead of all photos, you can do that too.
While viewing the slideshow, you can use the left/right arrow keys to move from photo to photo, or use the “<” and “>” buttons on the top left.

Just to the right of the left/right buttons is another button that will show you all the photos in thumbnail view, which allows you to easily skip around.
Just to the left of the left/right buttons is a tiny button that allows you to display the slideshow full-screen. When viewing a full-screen slideshow, these buttons are available in a pop-up toolbar that hovers over the image near the bottom of the screen (when moving the mouse cursor). Also when in full-screen, a “Play” button is revealed.
'So I have a MacBook Pro. I'm trying to make a slideshow and put it on a disk. iDVD has been giving me a lot of trouble and it is hard for me to work with. I worked on iDVD for a few hours one night and when I tried to reopen the application it said my themes were lost, something along those lines? What is the most efficient way to make this slideshow?'
Anyway, you should feel happy that iDVD is still available on your Mac. For those who own Macs shipped with OS X 10.7 Lion and 10.8 Mountain Lion, iDVD is no longer provided. It is not available on the Mac App Store with all of the other iLife apps either. It is, however, only available in the boxed copy of iLife '11.
Whether iDVD frustrated you or was dropped from your Mac, you have reason to find a third-party application to replace iDVD and burn a photo slideshow DVD on your Mac. A pretty good app that works is named DVD Photo Slideshow for Mac. It lets you create photo slideshow movie and burn photo slideshow DVD with ease. Just like iPhoto, DVD Photo Slideshow for Mac enables you to make a slideshow of your favorite photos with music, transitions, theme, Pan & Zoom, effects, and more within several minutes. You can output your slideshows as MP4 or MOV files. Better than iPhoto, DVD Photo Slideshow for Mac has the ability to burn your slideshows to DVD discs directly. It is really the best iDVD alternative for Mac users.
