MUSIC DOES NOT SYNC

[thephotoshoppe]

I have music that is 3 min 30 sec long and 46 slides. All I want to do is

spread out the slides evenly with the music but the slides always get done about 20 sec early.

Why is this so hard to use. It should be very simple to hit the auto sync check

but it DOES NOT WORK!

I have to give a slideshow to a client in 2 days and I don't have time for this.

What am I missing?

thanks

If you are using the beta rather than the release version 4.48, music synchronization is not yet enabled. If you want to use the beta then you need to precisely measure how early the slides get done and add a few seconds to each slide or if the time is indeed exactly 20 seconds early add a half second to 40 of them. It's really not all that difficult to do the timing manually but if you want to use the mucic sync feature then use the release version 4.48.

The present beta is not the last beta so no one can say with certainty exactly when the music sync feature will be enabled, but it will happen by the final release of 5.0.

Try "Timeline/Timed points/Arrange all points". Works even in v.5.
