How do I adjust [shorten] music length to fit slideshow?

Making a memorial slideshow, hoping to use several songs but need to shorten their length. Any suggestions? iPhoto support directs me to a page that does not include the info.
Thanks in advance.

I use music in all of my slideshows and always adjust it to my slides either by timing the individual slides or by using the third party application Amadeus to adjust the music, cutting out parts or pauses that I don't need or want. It can also slow down or speed up music without changing the pitch but I normally just edit the music itself to fit the projected length of the shows. That way I can match certain slides to particular phrases of the music and the effect is great that way. I've used Amadeus for years and find that I can't do without it, especially in my more intricate shows. I believe I paid about 40 dollars back when I got it but don't know the price now. Incidentally I use the Amadeus Pro version. Here's the developer's site:

Check it out.= and good luck withyour project.

How can I copy ITunes music to Photoshop Elements11 slideshow?

How can I copy ITunes music to Photoshop Elements11 slideshow?

Plumgirl,
Use the PowerPoint command Insert > Audio > Audio from file, and navigate to where the audio file is located.
If you don't know where the file is located, right-click the track in iTunes and choose Show in Windows Explorer.
Make sure the song you want to use is in MP3 format. If it is in something else, make an MP3 version, per this document:

How do I adjust maximum region length.

How do I increase the maximum length of time I can record in one go ?
I know this is not a tempo thing, there is a setting somewhere that defines the maximum length of a recording (not a song) and I can't find it anywhere !
Any help would be great
Thanks

How do I adjust my background image to fit my browser

I have a background image that it 1600 x 1200 and when I try to view in browser, almost half the image gets cut off. How do I adjust the size to fit my browser or even adjust it to fit any browser?

1600 x 1200 is a huge image by web standards. Images don't resize to fill viewport without workarounds (tricks). And while Martin's solution works in some browsers, it's not bulletproof. Downsides may outweigh advantages.
For best cross browser results (including older IE), establish a fixed page width of say 1000px to fit on average displays. Center your page layout.
Open your image in Photoshop or Fireworks and resize it to 1000 x 750. Your image won't fill the viewport but it will fit your page width.

How do I stop the music but continue the slideshow?

I want the music to end before the conclusion of the show. How do I do this?
Thank you!

When the iPod is off or still in lock screen you can double click home, then hit pause. While playing a game or something you can double click, swipe to the right side and hit pause....

How to apply a specific music for each photo slideshow

I'd like to setup a specific music for a specific photo slideshow, and to store that preferences, in some way, so that, on selecting a slideshow, automagically startup the specific song.
Is it possible ?
Seems not ... yet.

You can do that by preparing the slideshow in iphoto instead of on the tv, you then have to ensure you sync the slideshow and the tunes you have used in the slideshow before playing it on the tv.

How do i make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to put the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. Any help?

How do I make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to convert the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. On windows movie maker you could just select "fit to music" but this program isnt as easy to figure out! Any help?

Double-click on the still image in the project timeline to open the Inspector. In the Inspector, adjust the duration by typing in a new duration to match the length of your music. I think the limit for a still image is 10 minutes. If you need more than this, simply drag the image into the timeline again then adjust its duration. The two images will play seamlessly (no gap will be visible).
See this iMovie Help topic:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a883915
You can achieve more precision when entering durations by changing a preference in the menu item iMovie Preferences. Check (tick) the preference for Show Time As HH:MM:SS:frames. This will enable you to enter the duration of stills down to the frame level, rather than full seconds (NTSC is 30 frames per second; PAL is 25 fps). When entering times, type a colon between each time segment, such as 2:50:15, which represents 2 minutes 50 seconds and 15 frames. For 5 seconds 20 frames you would enter 5:20 and so forth.
Note that the music will only run to the length of the video in the timeline (in your case, the still images). So, after increasing the stills duration you will need to drag the end of the music track as far as required. The stills can be dragged inwards to reduce the duration if necessary.

How can I shorten the length of my ringback tone?

You mean music that the caller hears when they call you? You'll have to contact your carrier. That's a carrier feature, not a function of the phone.

I am utilizing imovie 7.1 and I am trying to shorten the length of a clip. How do I do that?

I am utilizing imovie 7.1 and I am trying to shorten the length of a clip. How do I do that?

There are several ways to do this.
First, drag the clip from your Event to an iMovie Project.
In the Project, there are several options:
1) Select the part of the clip you want to keep by dragging with your mouse. When you have it, right click within the selection and select "Trim to Selection". (You can also do this from the Edit Menu.)
2) Select the part of the clip you want to cut by dragging with your mouse. When you have it, right-click within the selection and choose "Delete Selection". You can also do this from the Edit Menu.
There is a good Tutorial here. http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/imovie08.html#trimming

How can I adjust the length of a note? Please help.

How can I adjust the length (the sustain time) of a note after I have selected the note? Many thanks.

Just drag the right end back and forth (mouse over the end of the note - a ] appears) - by holding down ctrlshiftdragging you can change the subdivision into ticks. In the Midi event editor you can do it numerically - just change the numbers displayed in the length section.

How to adjust maximum track length?

I'm working in GarageBand 3.0.5, and I'm using one track to record from an external microphone. I have no problem recording and getting the sound to play back, but it seems that I've run into a point where it is no longer possible to extend the track time. It has stopped at 1:06:08 and won't let me record any more, even after saving.
Does anyone know how to adjust the maximum length of a track?
I have tried going into GarageBand preferences, under the Audio MIDI tab and changing the buffer size from small to large, but that did not make any difference. I can not think of anything else to change. Any help that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Can I auto adjust the slide length to match my music length?

Can I auto adjust the slide length to match my music length?

There is no way to automatically do this, but if you have a calculator, you can figure it out.
If you are NTSC (USA), figure 30 frames per second. For PAL (Europe) figure 25 frames per second.
So here is an example in NTSC. Say your music is 3:31, this is equal to 211 seconds or 6330 frames.
If your slideshow has 155 slides, then each slide should last about 41 frames or 1 second and 11 frames.
You can change the duration of the slides to 1:11 and apply to all slides.
(Note: To edit at the frame level, go into iMovie Preferences and choose to display time as hhL:mm:ss:frames)

How do I adjust bit stream when buying music from iTunes

How do I adjust the quality of my downloads from the iTunes store? It's easy enough when ripping from a CD to select the bit stream but all of the tracks I buy from iTunes are defaulting to 128 kbps.
Thank you.

The iTunes Store is in the business of selling AAC files encoded at 128 kbps. Regardless of your Import settings - which apply only to music you import from CD's - that's what they sell and that's all that they sell.
For what it's worth, Apple says "a 128-kilobit-per-second (kbit/s) AAC file should sound as good as or better than a 160 kbit/s MP3 file."
But in the end you'll have to decide whether or not that meets your requirements.

How do I adjust Timeline length?

Hello,
I know Pr automatically extend the timeline length but I ran into a problem when the Timeline's grown to 4hr whereas all my assets are 2hr long.
Is there any way to shorten the length (they are blank video anyway) of the Timeline?
It is also weird to see the existence of several Edit Points after the 2hr video cut off, I believe that is what's causing the excessive Timeline. However, there isn't any asset on the Timeline as indicated by those Edit Points.
Any help is appreicated.
Thanks very much!

Welcome to the forum.
As Colin surmises, you have some "orphans" out beyond where you think the Timeline should end. It could be just one frame from a Clip.
This ARTICLE will give you more background, but it was written for PrElements and earlier versions of PrPro, so be sure to follow Colin's instructions above.
Good luck,
Hunt
