Adding Audio to a slideshow

Anyone know how I can add an audio file top use as a background for a slidshow created in cs5 Bridge?

To my knowledge you can't use Bridge for this, it is only an extra option to view selected files as a slideshow. If you want this for presentation you have to look for specified software to create slideshows. Look at Apimac Slideshow or Google for other applications, most of them will have a free trial download but likely you have to pay for such an application that is capable for creating slideshows with audio.

Need help adding audio to a slideshow in iDVD. I don't see my playlists.

I'm a relatively new Mac user & am trying to create my first DVD ever. I'm just learning as I go. I'm trying to create a slideshow with about 400 pictures to show at a "Going Away" Party. I've created a playlist to go along with it, but when I click on Audio & then on iTunes, it pulls up all of my songs in my whole library, but doesn't show my playlists anywhere. When I click on "help" it tells me that I should be able to go to Audio, click on iTunes, click on "library", & then find my playlist. However, I don't see "library" under iTunes. Help!

+but is it possible to make many different slideshows on the DVD but somehow have it play automatically from one to the other+
No. You can do that in DVD Studio Pro.
Here's a couple of examples of how I did these projects a couple of years ago:
*Mediterranean 2003 cruise*
I had over 1000 images from a Mediterranean cruise. I broke them down in to 24 Albums in iPhoto (fewer than 99 images each). In iDVD, I created 6 Folders which created sub-menus. Main Menu buttons (folders/slideshows) such as Barcelona, French Riviera, Florence, Rome, Naples, Malta. Then I added each of the corresponding 24 iPhoto Albums to those 6 slideshows, thereby creating 24 total slideshows on sub-menus. Takes some planning. All slideshows had transitions and music.
*Ireland 2004 iDVD Project*
Nearly 800 images dragged into iDVD as organized folders from the hard drive. Transitions on each image, and menus, sub-menus, and sub-sub menus. The sub-menus are created by clicking on the Folder icon on the iDVD interface.
Main Menu has 6 buttons: Downpatrick, Antrim Coast, Letterkenny, Sligo, Trim, and Extras. Behind each button are additional buttons ranging from 3 to 6 buttons. The Extras button goes fairly deep. When you click on Extras, it gives you 3 choices on a new menu. The "B&Bs" button opens a new menu with 5 buttons. The "Movies" button opens a new menu with 4 buttons. If you click on the "Irish Music" button, you open a new menu with 2 buttons. At that point, you are at a "sub-sub-sub menu."
Music was on most of the slideshows. Some movies converted to QT DV from Canon S400 digicam .AVI files (iDVD 4). Now convert to H.264 with QuickTime 7. Images are original 4MP (2MB) JPEG images from the same digicam. This DVD project is around 4GB with all pictures as DVD-ROM content.

Lightroom CC 2015 crashes when adding audio to a Slideshow

Anybody have the same issue and a possible fix? On a PC environment with Windows 8.1

Hi,
Have a look at this thread: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1833528

Adding audio to slideshow in PSE8

I am new to Adobe . I am trying to make slideshows and when I try to add audio from anywhere I get the following message:
Ubable to add the audio file....... system does not have the required compresser/decompresser(codec) installed.
What does this mean and how do I fix it so I can add audio to my slideshow?

For starters, I suggest that you post the file type of this audio file and describe how you obtained this file.
This info may give a forum participant a clue to why you have a problem. For example, if it is a downloaded file with digital rights management, I don;t think that the PSE slideshow will allow its use.
An additional suggestion is to try to Import this audio file to the Organizer. Now you may get the same no codec error message as you did for the slideshow, but knowing what happens on the Import may help to isolate the slideshow problem.
Perhaps an analogy to describe a codec is that it is a "road map" that is used to interpret and processes (decode) a specific type of audio file. It is a finer differentiation that just the file type identified to Windows.
Here is a link to wikipedia for more information

Why doesn't added music play in slideshow preview?

I created a slideshow in PSE 9 Organizer and added audio, but it doesn't play in the preview. It is an mp3 file, added normally, and shows up in the audio track.

Hi,
Is ti not playing the audio while you are creating the audio or is it not playing on the output (PDF/WMV).
Also, check out is it happening with only one specific file or with every audio file.

Adding audio to menu

Using Reflection White theme and having problems adding audio to opening menu. Been successful adding audio to submenus.
I would like to have audio when dvd is played and waiting for user to select submenus and also have same audio play when user returns to main menu (title)

Thanks for the reply.
Bit confused.
Where is the "audio well"? What does it look like?
When I select the music and click "apply" nothing
seems to happen. When I then click on 'Menu" the
duration is set to max - 3.31 and volume is set to
mid way.
I usually drag and drop audio clips from the iTunes
directory.
The audio well is that little rectangle that is just to the left of the 'Menu Volume' slider. Be sure you have iDVD back to your main menu screen. After you go to 'Media->Audio->iTunesLibrary and select the audio, click on 'Apply' You should begin to hear the music you selected. Go back to the 'Menu' tab and look at that audio well rectangle. You should now see a little icon of an audio file.
Is the any function that shows what is attached to a
submenu? I can see the movies and slideshows that I
have dropped onto the menu/submenu.
Yes, just under the main screen there are three circular buttons. The left one is for activating the sound in the menus. It should be blue when it is on.
The middle button is a 'play' button that allows you to play your movie from the iDVD menu.
The third button is the Map button. Click on this one to see a diagram/outline of the structure of your menus showing what is within each submenu.

When performing the exact same operation in Adobe Photoshop CC, i can add audio in the same way, no error message. Any ideas to solve this, anyone? Would be greatly appreciated.

I tried to update and it keeps telling me to get the Application Manager. And this is what happens
Adobe Application Manager failed and it told me to download the Adobe Support Advisor.
Adobe Support Advisor told me that there was an issue:" cpsid_82829s1: "A restart is pending," bootstrapper error has occurred. "Token Number: 40-87772-063201122012
I followed the instructions it gave me to correct this issue:

Help with adding audio files to page

I am using DW CS5. I have had numerous troubles adding audio files to any page. Please know that I am not at all computer savy when it comes to html codes etc. But I have been working with DW CS5 and have a functional website and my pages validate. That being said, please be patient with me if I am asking stupid questions or don't understand the solution.
Now to the problem....I originally wanted to add mp3 files...but I am not sure how to work with plugins or which plugin to use.
Therefore, I converted my mp3 files to swf and used the insert media file feature in DW CS5. But when I look at the finished page...I only see a big white box. Nothing happens when you click on it.
First question...which is the best method to add audio files?
Second question...what steps do I need to follow achieve the desired result?
Note: there is one validation error on this page and I'm not sure why or how to fix it. Any suggestions here would be greatly appreciated.

The following audio files were created by Virginia (Stasik) Zarow at the request of Laura (Stasik) Schmidt and Carrie (Stasik) Kot.

Woohoo! I was able to resolve the issue including the validation issue. But I have a follow up question...
Currently if you click on the play button another window pops up which has the play/control/stop buttons to control the audio file. The attribute is set to new window. If I change the attribute to parent window, then the page that has the control buttons overlays ontop of the page with the link.
To get back to the original page, one must click on the back arrow near the address bar.
Isn't there a way to not have a separate window appear? In other words, the controls are embeded into the parent page?

Adding audio to Video Demo: Captivate 7

Hello, i have several questions about working with audio in a video demo in Captivate 7.
I have a video demo that was captured without audio, then the intended script changed signifigantly so the timing is way off (sometimes the video doesn't hold on a screen long enough for the narrator to finish talking, sometimes it holds too long).
Any tutorials out there for adding audio after the video demo is recorded, when the timing is all off and I need to hold on some frames longer than the movie does? I'm doing still screen grabs and inserting them as images for the duration of the hold, but there's got to be a better way!
Is there any way to add text-to-speech in the Video Demo (other than adding it in slide notes, exporting the audio file and then importing it to the background of the video demo?)
When adding audio to a Captivate 7 video demo, is it better to add it to the video (Edit Video Demo > Audio > Import to > Background) or to add it to the slide in the regular timeline? Pros/Cons? Best practice?
Thanks!

Are you un-checking "Edit Volume" before you play it?
Sue
Hi Sue, Thanks for your help, I am new to the Mac, so forgive me if I am slow!
I cannot find "Edit Voume".
I can find "Show clip volume" in the "View menu" is that the same thing?
Thanks for your help. Chatch

Ducking doesn't work on added audio track

I have an iMovie 09 video clip of people dancing to music in the background. I attached a separate audio clip of music to the video (it appears in green beneath the video).
At a certain point in the video, I want to fade the added music clip so you can hear what's going on in the video. So I went to "Audio Adjustments" on the video clip and checked the Ducking box to that the music on the added audio clip would fade at that certain point.
But it doesn't fade at all. How do I fix this? Thanks.

You should be able to trim expanded audio in previous versions, also. Then you do trim, the audio will only turn dark, not get physically shorter, when you Expand Audio Components. When you Expand Audio, it will physically change the length of the audio section. One thing to remember is that when you Expand Audio/Video, the whole clip is selected by default, click on the head or tail of the audio first. If it is red, you can not expand it out, but can trim it in.
Tom is correct about ROLL edits, they only work in FCPX 10.1 and later. Only works with clips in a Storyline. Only work with audio that has enough Handles to accoedate the Roll edit.

When adding audio to my webpage do I have to add a photo as well?

Hello,
I just set up my website using iweb and it was really fun and easy. I added an audio file to one of my pages and it required me to add a photo or it wouldn't add the song.
Can this be changed?
Thanks, Chad

A clip from the help file:
To add audio:
In the site organizer, select the webpage you want to add the audio to.
Do one of the following:
To add a single audio file, drag it to the image placeholder on a webpage or to the webpage canvas. If you drag the audio file to the image placeholder on a blog (the Blog or Podcast template), iWeb creates a podcast. (See the podcast topics below.)
To add more than one audio file, drag them to the webpage canvas. (Select more than one file at a time by Command-clicking.)
To add links to the songs in the iTunes Music Store (not the audio files themselves), drag a playlist (from the Media Browser or iTunes) or a song from the iTunes Music Store to the webpage canvas.
If you added audio files (not links), you can drag a graphics file to the placeholder above each song's audio controls. Or you can create a text box with a solid color fill to put over the placeholder. You can resize the graphic and the audio controls by dragging the handles.

How do I delete added audio?

Is there a way to remove/delete added audio to a project that has already been sent to media browser?

If you mean in an iMovie file then no you can't do that in iDVD.
You would need to go back to the Movie in iMovie remove / add the audio and reshare the movie to iDVD.

Adding audio suddenly creating video gap

I'm working on a slide show and it was going really well until today. The video is finished, with transitions, effects, etc., and I've been adding audio over the past couple of days. Today, I added a couple of songs and they did fine, then I added another one and it caused a gap in the video. When I go to the video line and right-click the gap, the "Delete and Close Gap" is greyed out so I can't use it. The gap doesn't "match" the audio--it starts about halfway through the audio and then ends where the audio ends. This is really frustrating, as I can't see anything different about this section of the project from the rest of it. (same file types, etc.) Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how I can correct it? Thanks!

Steve--Thanks so much--of course that worked like a charm! :) I can always count on you to know right away what I'm doing wrong!! I do have one more question--why did the ripple feature only kick in towards the end? I had 1 hour and 6 minutes of audio tracks that didn't cause any of the ripples, then it seemed to happen out of nowhere. I don't *think* I was doing anything differently up to that point. I'm mystified! But also very, very thankful to know the cure--I'll be doing some last minute touch-ups and then I'll be ready to burn this one! Yahoooooo!!!!! :) Take care, Tina

Crashing after adding audio clips

So I have had to rebuild my 50 minute vacation movie 3 times now due to the files become corrupt after adding audio clips. The audio clips are legit and not just downloaded from a random site. Happens with different songs not just particular ones.

Here is a good tutorial for how audio works. In your case, you want to drag and drop the music track on top of one of your video clips at the frame where you want the music to begin.

Issue / problem adding audio in Presenter 7 (PowerPoint 2010)

Since I got a new PC (Windows 7), I'm having an issue / problem adding audio in Presenter 7 (PowerPoint 2010).
It doesn’t happen every time, but randomly with many presentations...
In PowerPoint, right after I import audio (through Presenter) and click “ok”, I get the following errors:
Then, I can't get into the "import/sync/edit" mode, from the Presenter tab...
Already tried reinstalling Presenter, resaving new presentations, deleting the .ppcx/audio folders, importing the audio locally (vs from my network drive), etc.
Then sometimes, randomly, it will let me get back in and edit the audio, after numerous attempts…?!? I can't figure out what the pattern is, which is causing this new problem (never had this problem before, w/ my old PC - Win XP / PowerPoint 2003 / Presenter 6 & 7)
Anybody have an idea what the issue could be?
Thanks,
Mike P.

Hello,
I tried to reproduce this issue but I am not getting any error message. Please provide us following information; this might help to reproduce this issue:-
1) You are seeing this issue in PPT or PPTX
2) You seeing this issue in newly created presentations or its just old presentation which is not working properly.
3) OS and PowerPoint version
4) If this issue is consistent on any particular presentation then please share it.
5) Can we have exact reproducible steps
