sylvr Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 I am adding music to my slideshow and need to add 3 tracks. One of these is 151 seconds long but I can only get it to play about two thirds of this. I am able to play it right through on windows media player. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

sylvr Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Click on the Fit to Audio icon. Thank you Grandpabruce but I have tried that and it hasn't made any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandpabruce Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Thank you Grandpabruce but I have tried that and it hasn't made any difference. Maybe you need to explain exactly what you are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sylvr Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Maybe you need to explain exactly what you are doing. I have made a slideshow and added transitions etc. Now added music and needed to add 3 tracks to match length of pictures. Two of the tracks work, as on previous occasions when I have made these slideshows, but the third one stops before it gets to the end of the track. I tried putting this on another slideshow (just one track this time) to see whether it would be OK but it was still the same. I have also played this several times using media player and it plays right to the end. I looked in the help section and tried to lengthen the track, as suggested, but that didn't work either. I also added the tracks and didn't click on the fit to music button - but it was still the same. It doesn't sound too bad as it is but I would prefer to be able to use the whole track if I can. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help. Then there is something wrong with the music clip, even if it does play in WMP. Is it a .wav file? Can you get a fresh copy of the same clip from your CD, or wherever you got it from? If it is from a CD, rip it to your hard drive as a .wav file.

Thanks again grandpabruce - I followed your advice and ripped another copy of that track from the CD and it is now working perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
