I don't know how they save a book as a movie. Some one please let me know how this is done. I have my book made but just can't figure this out. Thanks

I can't see the movie from here (at work), but you can import iPhoto albums into iMovie and do various different effects and transitions, as well as add a soundtrack.

You can then export the movie to QuickTime.

True, but this has the text like in an iPhoto book. I want to be able to add text to the photos.

My guess would be that it is a keynote presentation that was exported as a movie, rather than an iphoto album.

Two steps:

1) In iPhoto save the book as PDF.
2) Open the PDF in QuickTime and save it as QuickTime movie.

I don't know if you can save the book in latest iPhoto as PDF but in the older version this was possible. I used it a few times. Simply select Print and there Save as PDF. Look on Google for "iPhoto book save as pdf".

I tested this in iPhoto 2. To print to PDF you select book and print and save as PDF. In the old one I think you needed to go through the preview and then print.

In QuickTime select Import for the PDF file. And you have what you want. I am using QuickTime Pro - don't know if that matter.

It does matter - you can't import in QT non-pro. You can open and play the .pdf file (if you choose to open it with QT), as in the movie* but you can't save it as a (compressed) .mov file without QT Pro.

* Be warned, this uses a heck of a lot of RAM if your book contains high-res images which is probable if they were photos! Expect a massive amount of paging and potentially the need to force quit QT.

Well, there are always tools that convert images to "movies"... mplayer/mencoder should be able to convert images to .avi etc.
