Audio slideshow plays only first slide

I am trying to build a musical slideshow from scratch. I created the slides as jpeg files (6 files, 56 to 80 KB each) and an aiff audio file (27 seconds, 4.6 MB). I follow the QT help instructions - slides in a folder, File > Open Image Sequence in QT, select first to make a slideshow. Then new player, open audio file, copy and paste; then paste slideshow by Edit > Add to Selection and Scale.
The resulting QT movie appears fine, plays and shows all slides just as I wish. But when I save it, quit QT, then double-click on saved file icon, the audio all plays but ONLY THE FIRST SLIDE is shown.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't help. Here's the exact sequence of my actions:
Launch QuickTime Player
File>New Player -> "Untitled"
File>Open File "audio.aif" [existing file, 4.6 MB]
Edit>Select All
Edit>Copy
click on "Untitled" QT window
Edit>Paste
rewind; plays ok = 27 sec, as intended
File>Open Image Sequence "m1.jpg" in folder containing just this and
5 other files = m2.jpg, m3.jpg, m4.jpg, m5.jpg, m6.jpg
(frame rate = 1 per sec)
-> "Untitled 2"
View>Fit to Screen
View>Play All Frames
plays ok = 6 images in correct sequence, 1 per sec
rewind
View>Play All Frames [deselect]
Edit>Select All ** as suggested by QuickTimeKirk **
Edit>Copy
click on "Untitled"
rewind
Edit>Select All
Edit>Add to Selection and Scale
View>Fit to Screen
last image (6 of 6) shows; rewind;
PLAYS OK = shows 6 images in correct sequence, with audio, total duration
same as Audio.aif
rewind
Edit>Select All
File>Save As "qtmovie.mov"
Quit QuickTime Player
Launch QuickTime Player
File>Open File "qtmovie.mov"
audio plays correctly, but ONLY FIRST FRAME SHOWS
Help, anybody?

How can I control whether or not an audio files plays when a slide starts?

I am putting together a course and have a welcome audio that plays automatically when the user begins the course. Since that slide has a list of the modules that will be in the course, I would also like to use it as one navigation option - click the "Menu" link on any slide and return to this page.
The problem: Every time the page is hit the audio plays.
The question: How can I set the audio so it only plays the first time the page is entered but not again?
I have created a variable called "PlayWelcomeAudio" and set it to "Y" initially, then have an Advanced Action script that changes the variable to "N" when it is clicked (progress through the course is linear so there is only one option available to the user at this point. Clicking that link opens the next page and sets "PlayWelcomeAudio" to "N".
I can see that the variable has been set correctly (when I start it is "Y" and when I come back it is "N") but I'm not seeing anyplace where I can set the audio file so it doesn't play.
I tried setting cpCmndMute to "1" but that didn't work because it is apparently a global setting and I didn't get any audio playing anywhere after that.
I'm not looking to pause the timeline or anything like that. I just want the audio to play the first time but not the second and subsequent times that page is hit.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks.
Michael

Attach your welcome audio to an object that is not seen (e.g. a highlight box set to 0%) and use your Advanced Actions and variables to HIDE this object ON SLIDE ENTER if the user returns to the same Menu slide at a later point in the course module.
This should mean that the first time the user gets to that slide, the audio will play. But all subsequent times they return to that slide, the object will be immediately hidden on entering the slide, which will mean that the audion does not play and all the user sees are the menu options.
Your alternate strategy would be to have two slides that look almost the same. The first one has the audio, and the second one doesn't. Your TOC item for Menu, and any other links in the project that point to the Menu, would go to the second slide without audio. The user will be none the wiser as long as you work out the navigation.

Nokia 101 music player play only first 20 songs

hi friends ... i have a problem...whenever i download songs in my memory card,my music player play only first 20 songs,and other songs show me format error.... please help me what can i do with this ????
Moderator's notes: Moved into it's own thread

I am experiencing exactly the same problem. I recently purchased Nokia 3555 and HS-49 headset to listen to music in stereo. However, I only get mono sound from the right. I called customer care services before I purchased HS-49 and they said it's compatible with Nokia 3555. Yes, I can listen to music, but it's not in stereo. I turned on "stereo widening effect," but it doesn't change anything.
Accoring to the catalog on the web, the phone has stereo bluetooth capability...So, I think it should also produce stereo sound through a wired stereo headset especially with HS-49 which is listed as a compatible headset.
I really appreciate if anybody can teach me how to listen to music in stereo on my Nokia 3555.
Thanks

My e-learning consists of 40 slides. I am publishing the project as HTML5, while previewing, when I use the back button on the playbar, there is an audio mismatch. Some other audio is played for that slide. Please help.

I just posted a more detailed response to this on a similar post. The only way I have found is to convert to MP3, which *****. Look for the other post.

Web pages with m3u extension playing only first song on Safari 7.0

From the menu bar, select
           ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
If the Network preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advancedbutton and select the Hardware tab. Select
          Configure: Manually
and
          MTU: Custom
Enter an MTU value of 1280.
Click OK and then Apply. Test.
You must apply the change before it takes effect.
If the issue is resolved, experiment with higher MTU values until you find the highest one that works. The higher the MTU, the better the network interface will perform.
If changing the MTU has no effect, restore the Configure setting to Automatically.

ITunes v5.0.1.4 plays Only First 10 Seconds

I have valid mp3's that play completely without issues in Quicktime and Winamp.
If I begin one of these mp3's in iTunes, it will only play the first 10 seconds and then skip to the next song. Interestingly, if I skip ahead in the same song (before 10 secs is up) it will continue to play the song.
How do I tell iTunes to play the whole song?

I have the same problem but with a .wav files (not all). It shows the song's full length but cuts off after a few seconds.
When I try to skip further it doesn't play the song (unlike the previous post)
The files do work on windows media player, RealOne player...
How do I force iTunes to play those songs instead of using a lesser player?

Slidelet Audio Randomly Playing On Other Slides

Converted a properly functioning project from C4 to C5 (v5.0.2.630).
I have two slidelets on one slide both containing audio and images. They work as they should on the slide. When learner advances through the next several slides the audio from the one of the slidelets will randomly play. There is no specific action or timeframe that it I can find that would cause the audio to start on those subsequent slides. If you go back to the slide with the slidelets it will show to be playing without any action on it (i.e. click or rollover).
The slidelets are configured to stick on click and "no action" on roll over.
Any ideas? It's driving me crazy.
I have attempted several workarounds short of redoing the entire project in C5.
- Reloading projects (clearing cache)
- Reloading audio, images for slidelets
- Recreating slidelets in C5
- Hiding the slidelets on exit of slide
- Adjusting hover time
- Adjusting slide duration
Appreciate any insight and let me know if you need any more information.
Thanks,
Kevin

Hello Ellen,
What is your Captivate version and what option did you choose to insert the video?
If it is Captivate 6, Can you use the Multi Slide Synchonize video. If it is a Previous version, can you select the Video and from properties choose to synchronize with project?
Does the audio play on other slides when you jump from an incomplete video to other slides or when you view the complete video and then move to rest of the slides.
Thanks,
Anjaneai

Sound on slides does not play after first slide.

I created a presentation with 5 slides. I put the same sound file on each of the 5 slides. The slides are setup to play automatically.
If I play the presentation in Keynote, it works perfectly.
I exported to html and put on my web site. If I view the presentation in Safari the slides load one after the other correctly, but the sound only works on the 1st slide. On slides 2 thru 5, the sound only plays for about 1 second and then quits.
If I view the presentation using Firefox, nothing works, slides do do load correctly, and no sound at all.
I exported to Quicktime and played it, and the quality is so bad I can barely see what is going on.
I installed a new Keynote app from app store, and same problems.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Lewis Poteet

Audio book play only 6 minutes

I bought the Count of Monte Cristo from the iTunes store a while back and it worked fine. But now when trying to listen to it, it will only play 6 minutes of each section (sections are 2 hours long) and then skip to the next section. This is happening in iTunes on the computer and on the iPod. Any ideas on how to remedy that? I went to the iTunes store and looked at my account to see if I could download it again, but it's grayed out and says it's already downloaded.

In my experience, long files with high bitrate will have the kinds of problems you have mentioned, long files with low bitrate should be okay.
Otherwise, it maybe a case that those long files were joined up from several small ones at some point and there were problems/errors with them before they were merged together creating playback problems for you.
I don't believe there is anything wrong with the file. As I mentioned above, when I play the exact same file in iTunes it has no problem. Also, it doesn't matter what the file is, I've got dozen of examples, around the 30 hour mark the nano encounters this problem.

First slide plays when resuming in LMS

I am having an issue with a 5.5 Captivate project when resuming playback in my LMS. When the course is stopped and then resumed. The course will play the first slide for @ 1 sec before taking the user to the last correct book marked slide. I have moved thed preloader settings and slide settings and created a blank slide with no elements or audio and have not resolved the issue. Has anyone else seen this before, and were you able to solve it?

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
This is a know issue in Captivate 5.5 and it is fixed in Captivate 6.0

HT1386 I synced my new phone with iTunes and half of the songs only play for first 2 mins even though they show the time of the full track

Only half the songs synced completely on my iPhone the others play only first couple of minutes then stop playing. They show on iTunes and the phone that they are fully downloaded. How can I fix this without buying all the songs again?

Captivate 7. How can I distribute audio across all of the slides?

New to Captivate. When I recorded the audio, I did not know to record it to all of the slides. all the audio is on the first slide. How can I distribute it across all of the video slides?

@parth vyas ??? Why do you recommend to record/import this as background audio? I suppose the user wants to distribute the audio over slides, and to control how much audio on each slide, placing the slide markers where he wants? No such control is possible with background audio, which is just meant as... background.
@[email protected] Welcome to the forum,
So you choose to record to one slide which means that the slide will have a duration that corresponds with the length of the recorded audio clip. And you now want to distribute it over more sides? Is that a correct interpretation of your question?
One possibility is Audio, Edit, Project. In the editing dialog box, zoom out so that you see the entire audio clip. At its end you'll see a marker with a flag Slide 2 (yellow), which you can drag to the left, and then the audio will be partially on the second slide. At the new end you'll have the marker with flag Slide 3...
Second possibility: the audio clip will be in the Library. You can delete the audio on the first slide (Audio accordion), shorten slide to its wanted duration; then import the audio clip from the Library and you'll get a dialog box that has the option to distribute the audio over slides.
Third possibility: if you have the creative cloud or CS6, you'll have the roundtripping functionality with Audition CS6 or CC if you choose that option in the Edit Audio (Project) dialog box, and you can drag the slide markers in Audition.

Iphoto Slideshow only plays first slide of album

Ok- this is a new one for me. Never used to happen. I choose an album with 74 pictures, for example. Then when I hit the slideshow icon only the first slide of the album plays in the slideshow. ???

An easy way to select all of the photos in an album is to just click on the album in the Source pane and then start the slideshow. Even though the individual photos don't show blue, as long as the album shows blue it'll do the job.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Slideshow plays first 2 slides then stops? (its ok when I export to QT)

Have a slideshow of 16 individual slides. When i try to play them back in Keynote only the first 2 play, then the music continues but no more slides come up.
It plays back fine (all 16 slides) when I export to QT and watch it down.
Any ideas how I can get it to play back in its entirety while still in Keynote?
Thanks!

You'll lose handles and filters and speed changes, that's just the way it works, unless you render out a movie and use it to replace the current clips first. You shouldn't lose handles, you should be able to extend the clip in Motion to the full amount of media.
