After adding audio to slide show, can we...

With the help of posts from this forum I got the audio up and running on a couple slide shows. I'd like refine a couple things, so has anybody done any of the following:
1) Can the pictures in the slide show fade in and fade out for better picture to picture transitions?
2) Can the play/pause button for the audio be changed? I'd like to add volume and maybe a percent indicator while the audio is loading.
3) Could the slide show start AFTER the audio is loaded? By the time the audio starts the slide show is usually on the 2nd slide.
4) Sometimes the audio will not loop. I think this depends on how the slide show window was closed. If the same page is reloaded again, the audio usually doesn't loop. Is there a way to re-initialize the slide show audio to guarantee it will loop each time.
5) Will the audio work if the end-user doesn't have quicktime on the computer?
I've been using this section of the website for beta testing -

It can be done, but you are asking for entirely different slideshow

of the following:

fade out for better picture to picture transitions?
Yes, but you will have to do extra works with javascript. There is a transition variable in slideshow javascript, but there is no control over the slide duration (it's fixed and there is now way to change it). This can cause some strange effects.
2) Can the play/pause button for the audio be
changed? I'd like to add volume and maybe a percent
indicator while the audio is loading.
Yes, change one of the arguments in QT_WriteOBJECT:
QTWriteOBJECT('SF_Soundtrack1.mov', '34', '16', '',
3) Could the slide show start AFTER the audio is
loaded? By the time the audio starts the slide show
is usually on the 2nd slide.
You can put a delay time to call QT_WriteOBJECT function, once again javascripts.
4) Sometimes the audio will not loop. I think this
depends on how the slide show window was closed. If

doesn't loop. Is there a way to re-initialize the

QT is preloaded in a mac, but not so for pcs; so QT needs to be installed on a pc.

PSE 9 Organizer Slide show can't find the slide show project files after moving from XP to Windows 7

A bad computer virus forced us to move all our files and programs from XP to Windows 7. The PSE Editor seems to be working properly, but the Organizer Slide Show can't find the project files. The structure of each of the 15 slide shows (blank slides) is there and any text I had added, but the pictures and music are missing. Our computer Tech is not too familiar with PSE and may not have the files in the right spot. Evidently XP and Windows 7 are organized a little differently and use different names. He still has all the PSE files from our old hard drive in a folder and probably just needs to know where to put them.

+Windows Vista has different file locations than Windows XP+
This is the problem - the iTunes ITL file from XP is using XP paths, which don't exist in Vista. Here are some directions that have worked for others:
- Copy your entire iTunes folder --- not just the iTunes Music folder but basically everything under "My Documents" - to external storage
- Copy those files to your "Music" folder on your Vista system. The end result should be that you have "Documents\Music\iTunes" on Vista, where you had "My Documents\My Music\iTunes" on XP
- Put a fresh install of iTunes on the Vista system.
- When you run iTunes for the first time, hold down the Shift key. If it asks you to select a library file, pick the one you just transferred over.
- The end result should be your library, including all ratings, play counts and play lists, sitting on the new system.

Can music downloaded from iTunes be added to a slide show in Elements 12?

Can music downloaded from iTunes be added to a slide show in Elements 12? I can't get it to load into Photoshop Elements. When I finally get to the file it kind of just disappears. Do I have to get the song from someplace else?

Barbara, I don't know how to get to the artwork to remove it. I saw a post on this forum on how to show hidden files and went to the control panel and followed the instructions. I still can't see any hidden files or artwork. Hope you can tell me where I am going wrong.

Can video files be added to a slide show in Elements 5 or 10?

Can video files be added to a slide show in Elements 5 or 10?

I would recommend PSE11/PRE11 if you want to use them on an integrated basis. Only the current product is supported by Adobe. Or you could get PRE10 if you are not concerned about support.
But be aware that one version will not integrate with another. They will work as stand alone apps but you would loose some flexibility. For example I start in the Slideshow editor in PSE, add my photos and transitions and then click Output >> Edit with PRE. The slideshow gets sent automatically as a clip and I can do further editing, add video, add music and narration etc.

Help with audio from slide show

Used Photoshop Elements 8.0 to create slide show. After adding audio, reviewed show several times with no issue. Then, began having issue of show playing and audio to start with, then audio cuts out and slide show continues. Went ahead and exported to Premiere Elements 8.0 and audio played all the way through in review. Exported to DVD. Plays fine on DVD players, but when I attempt to play on computer, in Windows Media Player, audio( music) plays for a while then cuts out. If I stop and close player, and then open again show picks up where left off, and appropriate music plays, but only for awhile and then cuts out. Am making several copies of this DVD for others to play. Some will use DVD player, some will use computer. Dont' understand. Need help.

Have you tried to play the DVD on a different computer to see if it's your computer or the DVD?
The fact it plays fine on your DVD player makes me think it might be something wrong with your computer.

Converting m4a flies to mp3 that elements 9 Slide shows can use

I downloaded a m4a audio format from iTunes and my elements 9 slide show can't read it. What is the best solution to convert to an mp3 format that the slide show can use? I'm running windows 7.
Thanks

You can make an MP3 copy in iTunes.
See my instructions at the attached thread:

Don't forget to re-set your preferences afterwards.

Touble adding music to slide shows

Having real trouble adding music to slide shows.
Files are MP3 where is says compresser decompressor (Codec) error
CD music files are not recognised
Have elements 8 but loaded a trial of elements 12 and same result
Can load music in premier as a project but not in photoshop / organiser
Cannot save project as a DVD which you can do in photoshop elements 8
Can anyone give advice - spent hours if not days trying things out.

Try the free Audacity software (Google it) and convert the .MP3 files to .WAV files. .WAV are uncompressed and most Adobe products can handle them natively without the need for external codecs.
Cheers,
Neale

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.

Hi, Thilina66. You say you have entered the country code but still cannot make international calls. I suppose you are adding the international access code before the country code. This internaltional access code (011 in the US, 00 in Europe, etc.) can be substituted by adding a + sign before the country code.
For example, to call a number in the UK from the US you have to dial:
011 44 7540 267898
or
+44 7540 267898
To call a number in the US from the UK you have to dial:
00 1 212 456 1470
or
+1 212 456 1470
Please check that the contact number in your address book is correctly written if you are dialing directly from the address book or that you enter the correct numbers in the keyboard if you are dialing from the keyboard.

Keynote to iDVD: loss of audio in slide show

I have made a slide show on Keynote with music from iTunes. I export it to iDVD and it works fine from the computer while in iDVD. When I burn the disc, the music from the Keynote slideshow is missing although musc that I have added to menus does play. I want to use the Keynote slideshow and not transfer it to iMovie then iDVD because of loss of quality. I do not want to use the slideshow from iDVD because Keynote provides more opprtunities for effects in the slide show as well as clearer text. I think the problem has something to do with the fact that when I export, on my desktop is a copy of the slideshow AND a copy of the soundtrack.mov. How can I get them together? THANKS!!!

Thanks for the help but I faced the same problem as others with iMovie. Also I am trying to avoid the use of iMovie because the final product, a QT from iMovie, is not as clear visually as an import from Keynote - graphics are a lot muddier. I would have to agree that, as much as I LOVE Keynote, the inability to simply export a slide show with audio intact certainly is a problem with Keynote.
Also disappointed,
Jim

Newbe requests help with audio for slide-show on Premiere Elements 4.

I recently wrote you regarding a problem I was having with a slide show I was making on Premiere Elements 4 importing photo clips and music from PhotoShop Elements 9. Thank you for your help.
This very large slide show, some 200 clips that I have not resized is completed. I am now having many problems with the music audio I am adding to various sequences of the slide show. Specifically:the audio will not stay fixed on the places where I put it and end it. Working on the Timeline Usually the length of the audio is shorter than the ending of the photo clips where it must go. I click on the audio and stretch it and end it at the place I designate. However, the other end has moved also so now I am left with a gap where there is no audio at the beginning of the segment. Now in addition, the "Delete and Close Gap" does not work most of the time causing me to manually move the photo tiles which sometimes move when this happens. I have to move each one or two individually to the left to close the gap and many times this causes loss of one or two photo tiles or they are out of order or have increase in number (of the one I am moving).
The program has also shut down for the past 10 days causing me to lose a good deal of work and sometimes photo clips and sometimes I get many duplicates of the photo clips. All I do is edit mostly the same two segments doing this over and over because I can't proceed to importing any more music because I can't get the first segments correct. I have chatted with you people, Sony techs, Microsoft Techs and Canon Techs. The Sony techs suggested the program was at fault and I used the original installation disk and repaired the program. It has still shut down on me but not as much.
I got error messages on the photo-cap instructions page you suggessted otherwise I would show pictures of the above problems.
I tried to copy and/or cut and paste from the Timeline thinking I would start a new slide show in PhotoShop Elements 9 using the same photos in reverse. The program would not let me copy or paste. There is great difficulty in highlighting the photo tiles in Timeline because I have to shift click on each individual tile and there are too many tiles and it would take too long to get a whole segment copied. Maybe you know another way to do this?
I am at a stand-still now and I am quite despondent because I have been working on this slide-show for 3 months and it was a surprise for my daughter's 25th anniversary that was last Tuesday.
I do hope you have some good suggestions that will lelt me complete this Project and get it on a disk. I am not that technical so please be specific.
Thanks in advance.
Kathy

Here's the basic advice I'd give, based on my experience. Much depends, though, on your goals and the specifics of your computer system:
1) Resize all of your photos to no larger than 1000x750 pixels in size. This is VITAL if you want the program to maintain stability as you work. Also render often (by pressing the Enter key). When the render, the red lines above the clips on your timeline will turn green and the program will run much more efficiently.
2) Work on your large slideshow project in shorter segments. You've got over 15 minutes worth of slides. Try working on this slideshow in 5 minute segments, output each segment and then combined the finished videos.
3) Use only WAV audio as your music and audio for your slideshow.
4) When you add video, audio or stills to a parallel track on your timeline, hold down the Ctrl key to override the ripple function and your current clips will remain in place.
5) Maintain your computer by using a tool like the excellent, free, one-click Advanced System Care available at http://www.iobit.com/advancedsystemcareper.html
As for Delete and Close Gap, how it performs depends on whether you've selected Clear or Delete, whether you've pressed the Backspace key or the Delete key and if there is video or audio on a parallel track. (This is all covered in my books, by the way, if you're interested.)
Without knowing the specifics of your project and your situation, it's hard to give out more specific information -- but this advice should get you a long way toward completing your project!

Encore CS4 Adjusting Audio for Slide Show

Greetings, I have Encore CS4. I am doing a slide show presentation and have imported an audio file into the slide show as well as set the slides to play within the audio time frame. My questions is...the audio file is too loud, how can I reduce the final output volume of the audio file? The file is a wave format. Thank you Jean [email protected]

Jean,
About the only thing that would help, would be for Adobe to offer a link to Audition, or SoundBooth, like the "Edit in Photoshop," from the Menu Editing Panel. That might make a good "Feature Request." Obviously, it would need to link to another program, as Encore is just an authoring program, and I would not like to see a bunch of NLE/Audio "features" added to it. However, the ability to link to an appropriate program could help. I do not have CS4, but with the tighter integration with Premiere, this linking might already exist.
I find myself in your situation all too often, if I bring in an Audio Asset, without first adjusting it. There is always that DUH! moment, when I first play the DVD RW and my speakers "walk" across the room.

IDVD Slideshow no audio / wrong slide show

Greeting, I have significant trouble with a iDVD project I have been working on. The main problem involves the slide shows. Don't be mistaken this is a large iDVD project, not much video input but 10 ish menus and 4 slide shows. I have experienced several problems with the slide shows. Previously one of the slide shows was duplicated in place of another slide show on a different menu. I was able to correct this by changing the order of some of the photos and re encoding the DVD. Currently Two of the slide shows have lost their audio content and several of the slides. I know that the missing audio on one of the slide shows is not caused by the format of the audio file as it is used on all but one of the menus.
I am going to try to re encode it yet again (probably the 6 or 7th time, iDVD tends to crash silently every third time) to see if it will encode correctly this time.
Any other suggestions about this?
Thanks!

However for one of the slide shows I did select the photos from iPhoto originally.
I wonder if that is affecting the performance...?
Here's an example of one of my slideshow projects that works fine. No iPhoto:
Ireland 2006
iDVD 6 Pass Through widescreen theme
696 images that are 2816x1584 pixels shot with Canon SD700 IS
15 640x480 movies from same digital camera transcoded to H.264 with QuickTime Pro.
Part 1 and Part 2 submenu buttons on main menu. All submenus are the Chapters option for this theme.
Part 1 leads to a submenu. That submenu has additional submenus and sub-submenus. Part 1 leads to 12 total submenus. These menus contain images and movies.
Part 2 leads to a submenu. That submenu has 5 submenus with only images.
I had to "remove" animation on all the sub-submenus and not include any music to get everything on a single-layer DVD-R. The Menu info was WAY over the 7:30; something like 14:00 after these adjustments. About 20 slideshows with music. Additional short slideshows with no music.
Started the rendering/encoding process at exactly 1:00:00 p.m.
Finished the Menu video rendering/encoding process at 3:53:30.
Finished the slides and transitions process at 5:37:30.
Process movies start 5:37:30, finished 6:27:45.
Burn process start 6:27:45.
Retrieving ends 6:28:30
Writing lead-in starts 6:28:30. Finished 6:31:55.
Writing... finished 6:33:50.

Audio in Slide Show

The audio cuts out right at the start of my dissolve for every transition after I burn it to the DVD. I made a dmg then burned. Using an mp3 I ripped from a commercial DVD.

Just played it on my iMac and the audio is fine. The track plays twice yet I have it set to fit to audio dissolve. The track is 3:44 and I have 78 pictures. iDVD make the slide show 7:29

After adding audio to slide show, can we...
