Customized Synchronization

[ckfox]

I have two pieces of music and 150 slides.

I want the one piece to end at slide 96 and the other start at 97.

Is that possible? If so, how?

Thanks,

Assuming that you want to divide the sum of time for both tracks equally per slide, this will happen only if the music duration is, relatively speaking, 96 units of time for first track and 54 units of time for second track. In this special case just check the box Synchronize slideshow to music duration and you're done. If your music is a custom performance or "trimmable" in nature, just trim the music to have the 96 to 54 ratio of playback times.

In the more likely scenario you don't have the lucky music timing or don't want to edit the music tracks. In this case you can manually set the timing after calculating slide positions separately. Set slide times in Custom Synchronization to calculated positions by sliding the "slide" graphic indicators around.

One other option if you have Microsoft Excel 97 or later is to use Al Robinson's Adjustor model. Here is a link:

Thanks very much for the info.

I downloaded Al's Excel spreadsheet.
