How do I use Customize Synchronization for music

[mommyrn]

I've got 3 songs I'd like to play with our vacation, but I can't find anything in the tutorial about how to use the Customize Synch area on the Main (Project Options). I tick the "synchronize slideshow to music duration" box, but what does "New Transition" and "Timed points" mean?

I'd like to stretch the timing of some slides to make the first song end later, the second song end later still, and the last one to end right at the end of the show.

Does that make sense?

Thanks!

Hi Shelley,

Firstly add music file(s) (MP3) in the MUSIC section (also check Play Background) Music box

Then, in MAIN check the Sync Slideshow to Music Duration box

Then click on Customize Sync Button

Select CUSTOM SYNC

Click on TIMED POINTS and select ADD TIMED POINTS

You can now alter the duration of each slide and transition to suit the music.

Hi, Shelley,

Welcome to the Forum!

Which tutorial are you referring to? In my tutorial, "PTE-101", I cover custom synch briefly in the "Timeline" section. Available for free on Beechbrook.

Hey thanks guys! I figured it out... I just wasn't clicking in the right spot to make them move!
