ChickieShannon Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Okay, I just got this program and haven't had time to play/learn. (And I'm trying to give this slideshow as a gift this afternoon... eek! LOL) Can anyone give me some quick instructions for making sure my slideshow is the exact length of my song? Thanks!

alrobin Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Chickie,When you add a music selection, you can click on "Music Duration" on the same menu to see how long the entire selection of music is. You can then compare that to the timeline, which shows the placement of the transitions between the different slides, and make adjustments accordingly.On the timeline, you can also select "Timed pointe / Arrange all points" to spread the slides evenly over the music used.Or, alternatively, once you know the total time for the music, and the total number of slides, you can calculate the time per slide, and then click on the Main Tab of Project Options, and enter this value into "Time Interval for new slides" at the bottom of the menu. Then click "Set for exsting slides". This will rearrange the slides so that they are spread evenly over the music. Finally, check the timeline to make sure there are no overlaps in the transition times, and that there are no slides extending beyond the end of the music.If you want to change the music duration, you can import it into a sound editor such as "Audacity" (free download), and truncate it, "head-and-tail" it (fade the ends), or add periods of silence, etc. Hope this helps - good luck with your gift.
