Sorry, you lost me, Derrick. How does one get the "old" export options? Is it the lack of transitions? And what's a sidways arrow (makes me think of a 'disclosure triangle' but that's obviously not what you're talking about)? Do you mean the Play button?


Maybe it's just late at night and I need some sleep...

    Sorry Lou, I do the best I can at explaining this stuff without going into so much detail that it bores the socks off of folks. Here's what I was trying to say.

    "old export options" refers to the dialog box we used in iPhoto 4 to export slideshows to QuickTime movies. If you created a slideshow and saved music with it, you could use the export function to send that content to a QuickTime movie. That dialog box still lives in iPhoto 5, as I mentioned in the article.

    The "sideways triangle icon in the lower left corner of the iPhoto interface (beneath the Source window)" I refer to in paragraph 8 is technically called the "Display the slideshow" button. But I feel my description is easier to understand.

      The "sideways triangle" thingy was a red herring.

      The difference between getting an old-style export and an MPEG4 new-style export is just whether you click on a slideshow object or an album object before selecting Export.

      It's that simple.
