I have created a VideoWave Production in Creator 9 using a slide show of a large number of photos and everything appears to have gone very well excep for the addition of a narative.  The slide show runs about 38 minutes and I can only get about 27 minutes of naration before it stops.  If I try to create an additional narative the first one gets erased and it starts anew.
I am sure I am mission some step but I cannot locate an answer.  I would appreciate any assistance.

I use windows XP with all updates

What software do you have?  Easy Media Creator 9 or Creator 2009?  They are different program suites.

Open project and click on the naration button (mike symbol) and start recording while project is running.   It states recording time required is 43+minutes but my recorings only go a little over 27 minutes and then stops.

You can try narrating more than one clip instead of narrating the entire production at one time.

Oopsp sorry I missed that you had tried that without success in your first post.

Clear your proxy files, reboot, and see if you can get the full 38 minutes of narration.  I have never heard anyone, outside of my wife, that could talk that long, much less hold my attention. smile.gif

To clear proxy files, click on Tools/Options, and click on the "Clear" button.

You might want to look at the folder, where your narration is saved, and delete your previous narration, also.

Well that is weird!

I tried recorded with at 4 minute slideshow and it stopped at 3:58…

However it is a Wave file so you could open that file in Sound Editor (Edit Audio) and record some more to finish it off.

I would strongly recommend you have your slideshow absolutely complete, no more edits!!!

Then do the audio.
