philm5d Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 The reason is I want to fix the timing of the first slide only. Then I need the rest of the slides to fit the remaining soundtrack exactly. At the moment "fit slides to soundtrack" results in all slides having the same timing. If I then alter the first slide timing manually it throws out the last slide/end of music timing at the end. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 After manually adjusting first slide, arrange the last slide to end with the music.Click on last slide, shift click on second slide and use "Arrange Selected Slides".DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive me but Please could you take me through your suggestion slowly item by item from the start. By the way, where is the "arranged selected slides" button/menu - I can't seem to see it anywhere.

davegee Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 OK,I'm working in 7.5.1 (latest release).After adjusting your first slide timing go to your last slide (in the timeline) and adjust it so that its end coincides with the end of the music.Click on the last slide (in the timeline) then SHIFT + Click on the Second slide - this highlights all slides except the first slide. You can now select "Arrange Selected Slides".In version 7.5.1 it is in the dropdown menu to the left of the PLAY button.In V7.0.7 it is in TIMED POINTS.DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My version is "deluxe 7.5" (latest update), not sure if it's the same.After adding the audio track, in this particular project, there are approximately 8 slides left without music at the end. I have manually adjusted the first slide time but how do I then adjust the final slide to end with the music as you suggest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philm5d Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Click on it and drag - in the timeline.DGWell I got there in the end. There were 8 slides past the end of the soundtrack so I had to drag most of them to the left then apply the "arrange slides" from the menu. What a faff. To think all this could be done with an "arrange selected slides to soundtrack" command OR a method of locking the timing of an individual slide before applying a "fit all slides to soundtrack" command. Many thanks again.Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 You could also select all except the first slide - go to Customize Slide - select a suitable slide duration to bring them all into the limit of the Audio Duration and follow the previous instructions again.DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
