Music and slideshow

[davidedric]

Hi,

A very new user here. I want to be able to play music during a slide show. Specifically a classical piece, so not linked to any one slide. However, I also want to be able to initiate manual slide changes without the music skipping. I suspect this may not be possible, but just in case - can anyone help. (I've done my best to search the forums, but can't find anything.)

Many thanks,

Dave

Hi Dave

What you want to do is relatively simple, you can either look through the on-line PTE help files, or alternatively click on the YouTube link under my signature & scroll through the tutorials I have on there, the key word is menu in the title..

Hi Dave,

Go to Project Options "Advanced Tab" and simply uncheck Synchronize Soundtrack and Slides.

Best regards,

Thanks for the very prompt replies. I don't seem to have an "Advanced" tab. I'm running the Essentials version, I wonder if I need DeLuxe to get that?

Hi Dave,

Yes, you do need the DeLuxe version for that...

Best regards,

Thanks. Bit the bullet and upgraded - now does just what I want. For the record I wanted to play Grieg's Peer Gynt suite over a slide show of Norway

That's great Dave - you now have the best of the best. The only limits with this program are the imagination of the user! I'm glad it's all working correctly for you now!

Best regards,

Lin
